Chapter 10: In Qingwei Palace, a Scholar Has Been Away for Two Days

Bright moonlight, deep mountains.

Beside the gurgling stream, Jiang Lai sat cross-legged on a blue stone, with short shoulder-length hair, a slender figure, and clear eyes that looked as if they were looking into a deep valley, revealing a bit of spirituality.

Zhang Fan remained silent. This was his third meeting with Jiang Lai...

Every time we meet, it is always an incredible situation. When I look up, I always feel that such a woman is not affected by the worldly affairs, and is ethereal and a little unreal.

"Was the big snake I met last night... real?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

"The soul is out of the body."

Jiang Lai raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and said only four words in a cold tone.

"Did I really glimpse the soul? Cultivation is real..."

Zhang Fan seemed to be lost in thought. Ever since he entered Zhenwu Mountain, everything he encountered was incredible. Although he already had some guesses in his mind, when he heard the words "the soul leaves the body", his heart was still in turmoil.

"Then I just..."

Zhang Fan raised his hand and looked at his right arm. Thinking of the changes just now, he couldn't help but show hesitation.

"The spirit absorbs the moonlight, the qi interacts, and the dragon and snake transform..."

Jiang Lai's eyes swept across Zhang Fan, as if observing him.

After the initial movement, the spirit will appear. By cultivating the primordial spirit and eliminating all the negative impurities, the body will undergo all kinds of incredible changes and possess strange powers.

The transformation of dragons and snakes is equivalent to the successful establishment of the foundation, which is equivalent to the [Qi Gong] among the nine levels of manifestation.

"Practice is so magical..."

Zhang Fan was lost in thought. He felt that his body was indeed much lighter and his strength seemed to have increased. His ears and eyes were sharper and he could even hear the sound of insects crawling in the soil...

"It seems like scales have grown on my arms just now. I hope I'm turning into a snake..." Zhang Fan couldn't help but worry when he thought of the changes that had just taken place in himself.

"Holding one is the way for the world..." Jiang Lai lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

Hold on to Oneness as the model for the world, learn from nature, and all things will come into being.

It can be as gentle as a baby, as breathy as a turtle or snake, as long-lived as a pine or cypress, as mortal as a mayfly… Ultimately, all things return to one, and ultimately reach the Tao.

The methods are different, but that is not the most important thing. The only thing is to "hold oneness", no matter what the lineage is, no matter how it changes... there is actually no difference.

"Holding one is the way for the world..." Zhang Fan murmured softly, chewing on these words.

"Walk."

At this moment, Jiang Lai slowly stood up.

"where to?"

"Qingwei Palace."

As he spoke, Jiang Lai leaped into the air, like a deer in the forest, and flew into the vast night.

"Wait for me."

Zhang Fan followed closely behind, and after a moment, the dilapidated and ancient palace appeared before his eyes. It was the place that he and Li Yishan wanted to enter but failed to enter before.

"Is this Qingwei Palace?"

"You will be safe here..." Jiang Lai said lightly.

After saying this, Zhang Fan subconsciously looked back. Since this was Zhenwu Mountain, the Qian brothers should not chase after him.

call……

At this moment, Jiang Lai leaped up and actually climbed over the wall.

"It's not...you..."

Seeing this, Zhang Fan pushed his feet against the ground and jumped into the three-meter-high wall. If it were before, he would have to step on Li Yishan to climb over it.

He was pleasantly surprised at the changes in himself.

In the front yard, the ancient well stood alone among the weeds. Under the moonlight, Zhang Fan could see the stone bar across the well mouth, with complex talisman patterns engraved on it.

"Why is there no one here?" Zhang Fan followed Jiang Lai all the way to the back hall.

"It is said that this is the place where Zhenwu achieved enlightenment... Few people come here on weekdays..." Jiang Lai said calmly. "It is so famous?" Zhang Fan was stunned and couldn't help but look at this ordinary palace.

“Why don’t you package it and open it to the public?”

The place where Zhenwu achieved enlightenment, just with such a name and a little publicity, it would be like Qin Shihuang eating peppercorns and getting numb.

"Will you open your ancestral tomb to the public as a tourist attraction?" Jiang Lai asked calmly without turning his head.

"If the ticket price is 280 yuan...it's not impossible to consider."

"..."

"who?"

At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance, and the lights in the courtyard suddenly lit up. Then, two Taoists, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, came out, holding flashlights, shining the dazzling light at Zhang Fan.

"Don't misunderstand... our own people"

Zhang Fan quickly raised his hand to block the blinding light, and said sideways: "Jiang Lai, explain to them..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Fan was stunned. There was no one beside him, and there was no trace of Jiang Lai.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Qingwei Palace in the middle of the night?"

The tall and thin Taoist priest held a flashlight, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.

"Take it first."

The short and fat Taoist took a step forward, and a strong wind blew up, as if a tiger was descending from the mountain. In a flash, he was in front of Zhang Fan, and his fleshy palm directly grabbed Zhang Fan's shoulder.

hum...

Almost at the same time, Zhang Fan reacted instinctively. His body suddenly shrank and he retreated violently. In a flash, he avoided the grasp of the short and fat Taoist priest like a snake.

"The dragon and snake have transformed...it turns out to be someone from the Taoist sect..." The short and fat Taoist's expression changed slightly.

Such reaction and speed, to be able to dodge his claw, requires more than an ordinary person's physical fitness.

At least one has to enter the stage of spiritual manifestation, transformation into dragon and snake, and reach the [Qi Gong] level.

"Leave."

At this moment, the short and fat Taoist clenched his fists, as if he was hugging each other. Then, his throat moved and he let out a loud shout, which was like the sudden ringing of a bell, deafening.

"Shocking Bell Roar!!!"

Among the Taoist methods of Zhenwu Mountain, there is the [Twelve Roaring Methods], which, combined with hand seals, are specifically used to scare away ghosts and gods... [Shocking Bell Roar] is one of them.

In an instant, Zhang Fan's face turned pale, and he felt his brain buzzing and it was difficult to concentrate. While he was distracted, the short and fat Taoist priest had already approached him, grabbed his clothes and lifted him up high.

"stop."

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded in the night.

The short and fat Taoist priest paused for a moment before slowly putting Zhang Fan down.

"Brother, he..."

"Wu You, Wu Wei...you should retreat first. This is Zhenwu Mountain. No matter who comes, it is not worth it for the consciousness to be so agitated. Where has the energy-cultivation skills you usually cultivate gone?"

The indifferent voice sounded again. Zhang Fan felt it sounded familiar. He calmed his mind and looked up. It was a familiar face.

"Master Broken Precepts!?"

On that day, Zhang Fan and Li Yishan were spying on Qingwei Palace, and it was this Taoist priest who persuaded them with kind words and drove them away.

"Um!?"

When Taoist Priest Pojie was called by his name by Zhang Fan, he was stunned for a moment, then he looked the latter up and down. After a slight pause, he finally remembered.

"It's you? You...how could you..."

At this moment, the expression of Taoist priest Pojie suddenly changed. His eyes widened and he stared at Zhang Fan. Even though he had practiced for many years, his heart was still in turmoil at this moment.

He remembered that two days ago, Zhang Fan was just an ordinary tourist who accidentally entered the palace...

It's only been two days, how could...
