Chapter 441: Family Love on the Avenue (Part 2)
After nightfall, Chen Yuanshan and his wife returned to the room early. Zhou Qinglan was doing some grinding ink for her husband at the table, making suggestions and making things to do. Chen Yuanshan focused on writing his experience on the paper. Time passed by little by little, and the surroundings were particularly quiet. Apart from the sound of rain outside the window, he could only hear the rustling sound of a brush passing by the paper. Suddenly, a light sound interrupted Chen Yuanshan's thoughts like a spring. He frowned and looked up and saw that his wife Zhou Qinglan was holding a broken ink strip in her hand, and the ink in the inkstone on the table was almost overflowing, and the other half of the ink strip was floating on the ink, shaking back and forth.
"Madam, are you okay?" Chen Yuanshan put down his pen, looked at his wife with concern, and asked: "Since you left the seclusion, you have encountered some difficulties in your practice? Tell me, I have gained a lot from my husband's enlightenment this time, and I believe that answering one or two questions about Taoism should not be difficult!"
Zhou Qinglan shook her head and found an excuse casually and said, "I'm just thinking about your book! I wonder if there are too many illusory contents in it? Although the articles are all in vernacular, easy to read, and the content is also very attractive, making people feel the heart of the Tao, but the specific method of cultivation is vague, and there is only one set of qi-nourishing heart techniques that can barely be regarded as the Taoist Dharma Heart Skill."
"This is the original intention of being a husband." Chen Yuanshan smiled and said, "This book for being a husband is a tempting cake! Nowadays, people all value profit but neglect the Tao. Not to mention the bitter and difficult Buddhist classics, even Confucian studies are rarely read again. Everyone advocates the Western learning of Shili. Although they are a little eager for quick success and instant benefits, in today's world, using Western learning to save the country and the people is not a good thing, but it is also a catastrophe for traditional Chinese studies such as Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Although my book cannot be compared with the classics of immortals and Buddhism, it is better than that. Ordinary people will be attracted to them and develop a heart for the Tao. With a heart, there will be thoughts, and only after they have thoughts will they learn. In this regard, my book should be a lamp that leads the way, not a road under my feet."
Chen Yuanshan was very proud of his own book and had a hint of spirit in his eyebrows.
Zhou Qinglan looked at her husband talking about his book like a child showing off something, and couldn't help but have a smile and affection in her eyes. After carefully pouring out the excess ink from the inkstone, she asked again: "What name are you going to call this book?"
Chen Yuanshan thought for a while, picked up his pen, wrote two words in cursive words on the blank paper next to him, and said, "Just call it Xianxue!"
"Immortality! A good name." Zhou Qinglan nodded slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face. After hesitating for a moment, she asked again: "Yuanshan, what would you do if you could one day refine the golden elixir that helps others achieve immortality?"
Chen Yuanshan smiled and said, "That's all right. Of course, it's for you, Xuantong, Xuanming and others. One person can achieve enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven!"
Zhou Qinglan asked again: "But what if there is only one golden elixir?"
Chen Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Seeing her husband like this, Zhou Qinglan thought he was considering himself and his losses, and his face became a little gloomy, and his heart was dark and sad.
"I originally wanted to take the golden elixir for you." After a while, Chen Yuanshan said slowly: "But I just thought about it, it may not be good for you to take it. As the saying goes, Chang'e should regret stealing the spiritual medicine. The blue sea and blue sky are heart every night! If you take the spiritual medicine, wouldn't it become Chang'e who is struggling to guard the cold palace? We are all old and dead, but you don't have a relative by your side. This way you will be very bitter, so I will hide the golden elixir and let it wait for other destined people."
Hearing her husband's answer, Zhou Qinglan's heart was as violent as she was flying in the sky and hiding from the ground. The haze in her heart was swept away, and only joy and touch were left, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes. However, Chen Yuanshan could not help but see the flaw. She still suppressed her slightly excited mood, grabbed her husband's ear intimately, and said, "You are such a fool!"
"In front of you, I would rather be a fool!" Chen Yuanshan also stared at his wife who looked very beautiful under the *** and said a rare love word.
The room, which was originally a little chill, became much warmer under the affection of the couple, blocking the cold outside the window and entering the spring and summer season in advance.
The next day, outside Xu Changqing's retreat room, Zhou Qinglan walked back and forth, looking at the room from time to time, trying to knock on the door several times, but she didn't hold on. She stood in front of the door again, trying to knock on the door, and the scene in front of her instantly changed, and the repairman moved from outside the house to inside the house.
"Ah! Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Qinglan, who came to her senses, glanced across the room and fell on Xu Changqing on the cushion next to her. Her current appearance made her scream in surprise. It turned out that Xu Changqing had experienced the life and death disaster again at this moment, and her whole body was as old as if she would die at any time. She emitted an unpleasant stench, which seemed to be experiencing the five declines of heaven and man.
"Don't panic! I'm fine! It's good now." Xu Changqing raised his hand to signal Zhou Qinglan not to panic. An ugly smile appeared on the sunken old face. As Xu Changqing said, although he looked bad on the surface, the actual situation was very good. After experiencing several life and death disasters, he could no longer cause any obstacles to ordinary immortals. He had figured out the secret of the life and death disaster and could spontaneously trigger a life and death disaster when needed at any time. The current life and death disaster is not so much a disaster, but rather a means for him to not use the external fairy spirit energy to enhance his own fairy energy.
As Xu Changqing finished speaking, Zhou Qinglan, who was still very worried, saw that Xu Changqing's body was recovering quickly. It quickly returned to its original appearance, and the stench on her body disappeared, replaced by a strange fragrance. Zhou Qinglan could see Xu Changqing's body emitted an extremely solemn golden light without even opening her spiritual eyes. In these lights, countless golden lotus fell like rain, hitting the ground and dispersing immediately, turning into runes full of mysterious meanings.
The image quickly retracted into Xu Changqing's body, and Xu Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief, whispering as if he was talking to himself: "It's so dangerous! I didn't expect that just sorting out the trajectory of the Qiankun World would require so much power. Fortunately, there is a life-and-death disaster, otherwise..." As he said that, he stopped, looked at Zhou Qinglan, pointed to the cushion opposite and asked him to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Qinglan, why are you here to find me?
