Chapter 42: Take by Sword
On the same night, in the Sutra Cave of Aries Cave, Nangong Caishu closed the two notes that had been carefully read several times. Then she took deep breaths continuously. It was not until nearly a hundred breaths that she completely calmed down and then closed her eyes.
According to her usual practice method, she entered into tranquility and observed inward, and then her mind slowly spread outward.
But what's different from usual is that she did not rush to use her own mind to capture the vital energy of heaven and earth around her, but let her mind float in the quiet cave of the sutra.
Her cultivation is limited, and her scattered mind power can only spread throughout the inner hole, and even the periphery of the sutra cave cannot reach.
Compared with the surrounding world, the range of her mind spreads was just like a pitiful pond.
But thinking about that possibility, she no longer had any impatient mood.
She just kept in this state, waiting calmly and patiently.
As time went by, many extremely subtle particles of water vapor appeared in her perception, as well as many extremely subtle dust, and even fluffs from plants or animals that were so small that they could not be noticed.
These extremely tiny things quietly entered the world of her mind and fell into the pond around her, breaking the absolute peace.
A breeze suddenly broke out around the pond.
There were countless thin breezes blew across this pond.
These breezes are like life, and most of them seem to have some instinctive resistance to this pond. After contacting the pond, they pass by silently, causing only a slight ripples.
But some seem to be tempting, but it seems to be beginning to really contact the surface of the pond.
Nangong Caishu began to feel real shock.
But she still did nothing, just calmly accepting the water flowing from anywhere like a pond on a rainy night.
Those breezes could not really enter the pond, but she began to see different colors.
She began to see that there were many colors in the breezes, like tiny stars.
She finally couldn't control her mood.
She was so excited that she could not help herself, her whole body trembled violently, and she breathed heavily, unable to maintain quietness and inward observation, unable to continue practicing, so she opened her eyes.
She was unable to succeed at one time, and she was unable to attract the energy of heaven and earth into her body, but she had already felt a crucial change.
She already understood the truth here.
Acceptance and tolerance are much more useful than force.
Several Qingteng Sword Academy students not far away were still frowning and thinking, immersed in the classics they selected, and did not notice her appearance at this moment.
In a nearly pious attitude, she returned the two notes in front of her to their original positions, then walked out of the inner hole, out of the outer hole, and walked all the way to the stone hall outside the Sutra Cave.
It's still pitch black outside, and there's still some time before dawn.
However, she sat down in the stone hall and waited facing the cable bridge.
I don’t know what emotional instructing her, but now she really wants to see Ding Ning again.
Sitting at the height of Aries Gorge, waiting for the sunrise, overlooking the Aries Cave, and watching the slow changes in the entire Aries Cave gate, she was the first student at Qingteng Sword Academy to have such experience.
Various sounds began to appear in the absolutely silent Aries Gorge.
Before the sky was clear, many Aries Cave students had already appeared on many mountain roads in Aries Gorge.
The practice of practitioners emphasizes the unity of body, law and technology.
Among them, Dharma refers to the practice of true essence.
But it can only absorb the essence of heaven and earth and melt the true essence, but it can only become a pure container.
The body refers to the practice of the practitioner's own physical body.
The practitioner's body must be strong, able to live for a long time, have strength, agility, speed, and sufficient reaction ability.
Skill refers to the skills of using the body, true energy and weapons.
The comprehensive ability of body, law, and skills is the true strength of a practitioner.
According to the practice of practitioners, when all things are quiet at night and the body needs rest, it is a good time to enter the true essence of meditation. After sunrise, all things are active, the temperature rises, and the flow of human qi and blood becomes vigorous, which is a good time to exercise the body and skills.
So under the light bright sky, some Aries Cave students climbed the steep cliffs with loads, some were breathing in large mouths at the edge of the cliff, using breathing to shake the strong internal organs, and some were flying cold light all over their bodies, practicing sword techniques hard.
...
This is a thriving and beautiful scene.
Even Nangong Caishu, who was waiting for Ding Ning, couldn't help but have such a picture in his mind: the entire Changling and the entire Qin Dynasty began to wake up, and countless such sects were like this at this moment.
Countless such sects are thriving, representing the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.
However, what she didn't know was that a dispute began somewhere in the Aries Cave.
"Why?"
Su Qin looked at a young teacher in Aries Cave in front of him with a chill look on his face, "I have no objection to Zhang Yi being qualified to enter the Aries Thatched House to practice, but what qualifications are Ding Ning, who has just entered the mountain gate for less than a day?"
The young teacher in Aries Cave was very dissatisfied with Su Qin's attitude. However, facing Su Qin, whose status is only his student, but whose true essence is almost the same as that of him, he knew very well that Su Qin's future achievements were incomparable to him, so he forced himself to suppress his displeasure and tried to shirk his words: "This is the decision of the cave master. Since the cave master decided to do this, it must be his reason. After all, Ding Ning's test outside the mountain gate is amazing enough."
After saying this, seeing Su Qin's face seemingly becoming increasingly ugly, the young teacher was helpless and sincerely persuaded in a voice that only two people could hear: "I am only responsible for passing the message after all... Moreover, the cave master also puts you among the three people, and you can already be qualified to practice with spiritual veins. Why do you care about who the other two people decided by the cave master? After all, you can only use one spiritual vein."
The young teacher felt that he had already made sense of the words and even felt that he had put himself in a villain's position. However, what he did not expect was that Su Qin's face became even colder.
"This is not a question of how many spiritual veins I can use, but a question of justice and fairness."
"You should also understand that using spiritual veins to practice is the highest reward for our Aries Cave. If you give it to your newly entered disciples, who will really contribute to the sect in the future?"
His voice was not loud, but cold and clear. It came from afar on the mountain road and came into the ears of many Aries Cave disciples who were practicing hard.
The young teacher's face changed gradually.
He began to understand why Su Qin was becoming more and more aggressive during this period, and his performance in the sect became stronger and stronger.
Because Aries Cave was included in the Qingteng Sword Courtyard, the previous classes that existed in Aries Cave were no longer recognized by the queen and dynasty.
If most people in Aries Cave can stand behind him, he may become the owner of Aries Cave in the future and climb to a higher stage in Changling more easily.
"Your ambition comes too quickly and too early." So the young teacher scolded in a very ugly face.
Su Qin sneered at this time, and his eyes swept through more and more Aries Cave students gathered around him, but his voice was extremely low. "I heard that people must have ambitions when they live. I also heard that carp leaped over the dragon gate to take advantage of the momentum. I also heard that people should take advantage of the situation if they want to become famous."
The young teacher's face looked even more ugly, but when he saw the angry eyes waiting for the answers gathered more and more, he felt a little panicked, not knowing what to do at this moment.
"The cave owner made such an arrangement because he has enough qualifications."
At this moment, a cold and emotional voice sounded behind the young teacher.
Everyone's eyes gathered on Li Daoji who walked out of the mist.
The hilt of the sword in front of Li Daoji was still emitting a faint red light, captivating the soul.
Hundreds of Aries Cave students gathered nearby were slightly stunned, but in their silence, there was a terrifying aura that would burst out at any time.
Su Qin smiled slightly.
He felt that no matter what the result is today, he would gain more prestige.
"What qualifications?" He looked at Li Daoji's hilt on his chest with some contempt, thinking in his heart that even if you are better than me now, I will definitely surpass you in the near future.
"Ding Ning has already understood the mystery."
A smile appeared on Li Daoji's face, a strange and cold sarcastic smile.
He looked at Su Qin whose face was stiff in an instant and added: "Ding Ning entered the school yesterday, and he had already understood the Xuan yesterday... He understood the Xuan for half a day."
"What!"
Unbelievable screams rang among the mountains.
Su Qin's face turned pale. He didn't say anything, but these screams shouted out the disbelief in his heart instead of him.
Everyone was as unbelievable as the students of the Qingteng Sword Academy in the Sutra Cave.
Because in their memory, there seemed to be only one or two people in Changling who could achieve half a day of enlightenment when they began to truly practice.
The young teacher's body also trembled.
He knew that after Li Daoji came out, he would not be resolved by him, but he did not expect to hear such news.
Monsters with a half-day Tongxuan... If such monsters are not qualified to obtain the auxiliary practice of spiritual veins, then who else in the Aries Cave is qualified?
"Is this true?"
A tender voice sounded.
The person who made this sound was Shen Bai.
He was the one who was the most fiercer opposing Ding Ning’s entry at the beginning, but now, a flame of hope began to burn in his shocked eyes.
If this is true... If there is such a monster in Aries Cave that can thrive, will the Aries Cave in the future be as humiliated as it is now?
Li Daoji glanced at him. He did not answer Shen Bai's question, but said slowly in a cold and sarcastic tone: "It's meaningless to talk about qualifications now. Yesterday, Dean Di Qingmei of Qingteng Sword Academy had already written down and asked us Aries Cave students to participate in the sword sacrifice trial. If we can win in the end, we can get the same reward as the students of Qingteng Sword Academy, but these three spiritual springs in our Aries Cave are also the rewards of the final winner."
"What!"
There was another depressing scream of exclamation in the mountain road.
