With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 138: Attempts in Practice

"Wow~"

The waves surged and the water splashed.

Under the brilliant sunlight, the colorful light shines out.

An indescribable giant leaned out from under the water, its head and horns majestic.

The green scales are all over the snake's neck, filled with dim cold light under the water color.

Chang Sheng, who still didn't know what happened, shook his body and shed water drops all over his body.

He was about to open his mouth to receive the familiar feeding.

Suddenly, I was stunned.

Its pair of faintly yellow, lazy little eyes suddenly widened.

It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and he was so horrified that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear.

This man, why did he come back suddenly?

Didn't even say hello in advance.

Such thoughts flashed through its simple yet complex consciousness.

Subconsciously, Changsheng blinked his eyes.

Then you have to dig into your own shell.

It is the nature of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it has nothing to do with other reasons.

Especially as a rare spiritual beast in the world, this nature has become the instinct of its body.

Just like eating and drinking, it's almost natural.

Even though Li Zhen can be regarded as the person who raised him single-handedly.

But precisely because of this, Changsheng dared not reveal more miracles in front of him.

This was true in the past, and it is true now.

It's just that the past was hidden in the past.

But now, it seems inevitable.

So Changsheng chose to be a true tortoise.

Stop at the edge of the lake shore.

Li Zhen looked at everything in front of him quietly, with indescribable surprise flashing through his eyes.

He has devoted his whole life to the pursuit of immortality and the pursuit of supernatural wonders.

But when he looked back, he didn't expect it.

What he was after was actually so close to him.

Not to mention it's at your fingertips, it's as easy as picking something out of a bag.

I really don’t know how to describe such a thing.

Is it a coincidence or a trick of fate?

But looking back, I realized that even I knew the mystery of immortality earlier.

Would you really kill it to extend your life?

He thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.

There is great terror between life and death.

Who can guarantee that we will be able to face it calmly?

At least, Li Zhen himself couldn't guarantee it.

But it is meaningless to say this now.

We met at a young age and have been together ever since.

Li Zhen has long regarded Changsheng as his companion.

Nothing like that has ever been done before, not now.

In the future, even less so.

just

He thinks this way, but others may not think so.

Thinking of the Taoist who seemed to be reminding him intentionally just now, Li Zhen was thoughtful.

It was only when he raised his head and looked at Changsheng that all his limbs and head had been retracted into the ten-foot-long turtle shell.

There was an unexpected look on his face, and he smiled and cursed:

"I didn't expect that a little turtle that Pindao picked up at random would become a panacea in the eyes of others today."

"You little bitch, you almost deceived even a poor man!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

Walk on the waves.

He walked up to Changsheng in a few steps and knocked on his huge turtle shell.

The tone was cold and somewhat mocking.

Changsheng, who was curled up in the turtle shell, dared not move.

His extraordinary rationality allowed him to roughly understand the meaning of Li Zhen's words.

But I can't speak, I can't defend myself in the slightest.

He could only express his dissatisfaction by squeaking.

I think of the time when it was a little turtle. Both of its parents were dead and it was living outside. It was carrying a lot of treasures.

In short, it means it's your turn.

You also have to hide it honestly and don't jump.

"Hey!"

"You've only been out for a few days, so you're already wild, right?"

"I also learned to talk back."

Li Zhen said this, with a strange look on his face.

Gently stir a ray of true energy and hit it on the turtle shell of Changsheng Qingyou.

ding dong~

Like water droplets falling on a calm lake.

Along with a clear sound, layers of green ripples spread out from the turtle shell.

"really!"

He thought to himself, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Spirit beast, spirit beast.

How could its existence have nothing to do with the spiritual power between heaven and earth?

Now this is completely confirmed.

But it is also reasonable, there is nothing surprising.

In this way, many doubts will be solved.

But at the same time, more doubts arose in my mind.

Li Zhen was thinking, since there are so-called spiritual beasts.

Then why were there no practitioners in this world before him?

It was something that existed in the past and disappeared again.

In other words, everything is moving in that direction.

And his own arrival has inadvertently accelerated this speed.

Li Zhen didn't know and couldn't understand.

He raised his head slightly and looked towards the distant horizon.

Whenever he thought he knew enough about the world.

Reality will give him a big stick and tell him that he is still far from perfect.

It's like saying

"The spiritual power between heaven and earth seems to be a little richer than when I first entered the practice."

"Is it my imagination, or is it?"

Li Zhen suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked away.

Again, he looked at Changsheng aside.

He patted its turtle shell again and said earnestly:

"You also know that you are extraordinary. It is not safe to stay outside."

"I can't keep an eye on you all the time. Someone may come to your door one day and kill you."

“Although the lotus pond in the mountain is small, it’s not impossible to dig bigger.”

"What do you mean, do you want to go back with me?"

Changsheng, who was curled up in the turtle shell, was lost in thought for a long time because of the true energy that Li Zhen had just received.

It couldn't figure out clearly that this human was just dozing off again.

Why, it suddenly learned its natural ability.

And no matter how you look at it, it looks more skillful than itself.

How about you take care of this spirit turtle?

In his daze, he suddenly heard Li Zhen's words again.

Subconsciously, he stuck his head out, stared at a pair of small eyes that still looked small, and shook his head vigorously.

That small pool, it didn't want to go back no matter what.

"Don't want to?"

"Forget it, you can take care of yourself in the future."

Li Zhen patted Chang Sheng on the head and said something leisurely.

Then he felt a little disgusted.

It was wet, greasy, and had the cold touch of scales.

啧～

Regardless of the feeling, let’s go home and pet the cat.

As for this turtle?

Take care of yourself and reflect well.

Immediately after taking the shot, Changsheng was suddenly shocked.

He quickly retracted his neck and looked carefully.

I found that the all too familiar figure had drifted away.

Gududu~

The blisters rolled, and Changsheng seemed to take a breath.

Staying with Li Zhen really puts a lot of pressure on Gui.

Others could not detect the Qi in him.

But it is the most sensitive to the spiritual power between heaven and earth, and can feel it.

Li Zhen's seemingly white and weak body contained a power that frightened the turtle.

Fortunately, he has no ill intentions towards his family.

Thinking this way, Changsheng became a little happy again.

It seems, probably, maybe.

It seems good to have such a strong man who doesn't care about himself as a thug.

Thinking like this, it slowly sank into the water.

When the lake water covers the highest part of the turtle shell, it is reflected by the sunlight.

Only then did he discover the top of the green carapace.

At some point, a small Tai Chi diagram was engraved on it.

It spins leisurely without stopping. Ma Qianli was once again defeated by his old father's stubbornness.

There is nothing surprising, Lao Ma is such a stubborn person.

Otherwise, he would not have been willing to sell his only old cow that could plow the land.

For the sake of the future of the next generation of my family, I have to hire a kindergarten teacher.

So Ma Qianli had no choice but to leave.

With the help of Lao Ma, the transformation of the several acres of mountainous land in front of Chuixiang Tower went very smoothly.

After plowing deeply in Erqing, Li Zhen drained the water in the lotus pond.

The mud inside that had not been cleaned for many years was dug out.

The waste is used as fertilizer to fertilize the fields.

The fields are sorted out, what about that kind of stuff?

Li Zhen didn't think about it for a while and decided to think about it again.

And a few days later, he had not yet come up with any results.

Hong Xuanji is here again.

He walked calmly across the wooden sign in front of Chuixiang Tower.

Brought the emperor's greetings.

He was very satisfied with the newly built library collection room in the Confucian Academy.

But he asked a little more vaguely, as a great master, Daochang Li didn't create any unique martial arts skills?

Just in time, they were collected together in the collection room.

You can also help Daozhang Li find a successor to pass on the mantle.

Li Zhen glanced at him.

Too lazy to answer.

This man and the emperor are two.

The truth is that they are all trying to push their limits, getting a bargain and then selling the goods well.

Rather than them caring about having no successor, Li Zhen was more concerned about another thing.

"I heard that the prince has a palace in the palace dedicated to farming."

"There are seeds of the best and rarest crops in the world?"

He asked Xiang Hong Xuanji.

Hong Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face:

"Although His Royal Highness is young, his heart is already concerned about the working beings in the world."

"He went to the fields to cultivate the land himself and humbly asked the farmers for advice."

"In the future, I will definitely be a benevolent and virtuous sage."

Li Zhen rolled his eyes.

Who asked you this?

If you praise the emperor's son, can you say it in front of the emperor?

The emperor can't hear him here, so who is showing off to him?

So he waved his hand to interrupt and said seriously:

"Is there really?"

Hong Xuanji hesitated slightly, then nodded hesitantly:

"The Taoist priest asked this?"

He was afraid that Li Zhen would like the prince and compete with him for the position of the prince's young master.

After all, with Li Zhen's qualifications, if he really wanted to be the emperor, he would definitely want it.

But obviously, he was wrong.

Li Zhen didn't have the slightest interest in the prince.

"You are the Prince's Young Master, can you get me some of everything?"

"Forehead"

Hong Xuanji was speechless for a moment and looked at Li Zhen strangely.

Then she cupped her hands towards him and considered her words:

"I can't make the decision on this."

"But if the Taoist priest talks to His Majesty, there will definitely be no problem."

"That's it."

Li Zhen waved his hand.

Pindao just didn't want to have anything to do with the emperor anymore.

Otherwise, why bother asking you?

"see a visitor out."

Li Zhen signaled to drive people away naturally, and at the same time said leisurely:

"By the way, Pindao didn't tell you anything just now."

Hong Xuanji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly said yes.

This old monster is so scary!

Beat him to death and never come to this ghost place again.

But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

The next morning, Hong Xuanji, who was about to go to the palace to check the prince's homework, heard the news.

Something happened to the prince!

The messenger was a bit bald.

In fact, something happened to the Wenhua Palace that the prince cared about most.

Half of the various crop seeds collected inside were missing.

Hong Xuanji let out a sigh of relief.

He was almost scared to death. He really thought something had happened to the prince.

But thinking about what Li Zhen said yesterday, he still bit the bullet and went to Xianming Mountain.

I found Li Zhen covered in dirt beside the field.

Before he could speak, Li Zhen said strangely:

"Chief Hongda, why are you here again?"

"Your student's belongings have been lost. If you don't catch the thief, why are you visiting Pindao?"

"There are no thieves here, Pindao. Don't you want to wrongly accuse a good person?"

Hong Xuanji was silent.

He looked at the bag specially used by Wen Huadian to preserve seeds placed on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

But facing Li Zhen's bright and innocent eyes, he finally said nothing.

Turning around silently, he went down the mountain.

And he swore that Hong Xuanji would be a dog next time he came to his place.

Woof, woof, woof!

"Mr. Li, this."

Ma San on the side couldn't stand it.

He quietly pointed to the bag on the ground beside him.

"Uh~"

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed and forgot about this.

First time doing it, no experience.

It will definitely be better if we come again a few times.

Xuan Er waved his hands indifferently and said:

"It's okay. Pindao picked it up on the mountain last night. I don't know if the thief framed it."

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, so you will definitely not blame me."

"By the way, Lao Ma, you plant these rice seeds and raise seedlings first. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Turned around and returned to the building.

Originally, my house was filled with all kinds of exquisite cloth bags.

But the quantity is not much, barely filling half the bed.

Sanhua was looking at the thing occupying a large area of ​​its territory with a confused expression.

Look to the left, smell to the right.

I soon lost interest.

He turned his head and called Li Zhen a few times, telling him to clean up quickly and not to disturb his sleep.

"The emperor has everything he wants, and he boasts nonsense."

"Just this little stuff, there are not as many varieties as there were at a rural seed station in Pindao's previous life."

Li Zhen muttered in disgust.

Still, it's better than nothing.

He picked up a bag containing another kind of rice seed and tinkered with it.

In his mind, there was a bold idea.

I have been on the spiritual path for a long time.

But being happy alone is not as good as being happy together.

Li Zhen was thinking, how can he get more people to practice with him?

It is too difficult to break through the barriers of asking questions and sublimate the spirit.

Ordinary people who have been practicing for most of their lives probably won't be able to do it.

In this case, can you change your mind?

The ultimate goal of the Questioning Heart Guan is to enable people to see and utilize spiritual opportunities.

But is there a possibility that practitioners can be exposed to spiritual inspiration in advance and reduce the difficulty?

The answer is yes, but not yet.

So Li Zhen had an idea to start with something that a person can't live without from birth to death: food.

There are spiritual beasts in this world, so why can’t there be spiritual plants!

This makes sense.

But Li Zhen doesn't know how to do it now.

Just experiment a little bit.

Testing requires materials, high-quality materials.

So where are the best quality crop seeds in the world?

The answer is ready to come out, the palace!

So, I'm sorry, Crown Prince.

Everyone loves farming, and I believe you will understand.

At worst, if there are results in the future, you will get half of the credit.

Chief Li Daozhang has always been a very generous person.

Thinking like this, he poured some real energy into his fingertips:

"Oh!"

Rice seeds become popcorn.

It landed on Sanhua's mouth, and she chewed it.

Don't tell me, it tastes pretty good.
