Chapter 7 Rise and Fall After Ling Lingxiu finished explaining the matters, she didn't stay any longer. Xu Heng took the elixir and began to clean the room. Unexpectedly, when he came out again, he suddenly realized that the moon was already in the sky. He thought he could finish the cleaning today, but he forgot that in his two lifetimes, he had never done such trivial things. Secondly, he was still injured and his hands and feet were really not sharp. He barely finished cleaning the wing, but it was already There is no time to spare. He didn't know whether it was because the weather was just right today, or because Taiguang Immortal Mansion had other mysteries, but the courtyard was actually very bright. Xu Heng looked around and realized that it was too late to weed. After thinking for a moment, I headed towards the mountain and water, looked around twice, and suddenly climbed up the rockery and dug out the mud mixed with gravel, dust and fallen leaves. The clear spring suddenly gurgled into the moonlight. "Wonderful!" Xu Heng looked delighted. He didn't care that the corners of his clothes were soaked by the spring water. He walked down the rock happily, took out a chair from the room and sat down, feeling the gentle breeze coming from the mountain and looking at the moonlight in the courtyard. Hua Liuzhao, listening to the rustling of the grass and trees, suddenly felt that this moment was the most comfortable moment in his past life. Xu Heng gradually felt peaceful, and suddenly remembered that he had lost his cultivation, and his heart felt peaceful. He just thought: "The beginning of the month is the day of preaching. It seems that it will take a long time to start practicing again?" "Spells, supernatural powers, immortality..." As I thought about it, my thoughts went very far. Unknowingly, as the morning twilight set in, the sunlight dispersed the cold air and shone on Xu Heng. He suddenly woke up, sat upright in confusion, and shuddered slightly before he realized that he had actually fallen asleep while sitting in the courtyard. One night. Surprisingly, although he was slightly chilly, his young and injured body did not feel any discomfort after this night, and he even felt that his body had become lighter. "Could it be the magical effect of the elixir he took last night?" Xu Heng guessed that what he was thinking was probably the same. He stood up and stretched a little. Remembering that there was no other water source in the courtyard, he simply took a ladle of rockery spring. I washed my face casually, but unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a loud laugh: "Haha, this junior brother is quite dashing." "Huh?" Xu Heng looked up and saw a young man standing at the door. He cupped his hands towards him and said with a smile: "I saw that the courtyard door was open, but there was movement. I took the liberty to take a look. Junior Brother Mo Strange."
Without waiting for Xu Heng's reply, the young man added: "Junior brother is newly admitted to the hospital. If you want water, you should go to the mountains to get a spring." After that, he pointed toward the southeast and said, "Don't bother me. Walking, sitting and lying down are all cultivation. Fetching springs and carrying water are also among them!" Xu Heng also didn't expect that the first 'senior brother' he met in Qiming Academy seemed to be a person with a warm heart... In other words, he was a familiar person. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse others, so he handed over the hand He put down the water ladle and walked to the courtyard gate to return the favor: "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance." "Eh." The young man smiled and said, "This is no kind of advice. I'm just relaying what my senior fellow apprentice said." "I see." Xu Heng asked, "I wonder which senior brother said this?" There was a look of reverence on the young man's face and he said, "Of course it's 'Chihua Immortal' Chen Taichen, Senior Brother Chen." "Chen Taichen?" Xu Heng's heart was shocked. Red thunder seemed to spread in front of his eyes and behind his ears, and a proud voice came from it: "Xuanwei Sect Chen Taichen is here!" Xu Heng didn't know why, but he was very concerned and couldn't help but ask: "Chihua Immortal? Senior brother, can you explain it to me in detail?" "Huh?" The young man glanced at Xu Heng and asked without answering, "Yes, you are newly admitted to the hospital. What should I call you?" "Xu Heng." Xu Heng gave his name, and the young man smiled again and said, "What a coincidence, my last name is Liu, and my given name is also 'Heng'." "Junior brother Xu, I think you and I are about the same age, so we can take care of each other. After all, it's not easy to get to know someone in Qiming Academy." "Oh?" Xu Heng's heart moved and he asked, "There really aren't many practitioners in Qiming Courtyard?" "Of course. To be honest, except for the preaching days at the beginning of the month, sometimes I can hardly meet a fellow disciple in a month." Liu Heng said, and he even sighed: "Thinking back to the heyday of my Xuanwei Sect, how many people practiced in Qiming Courtyard?" In fact, strictly speaking, the disciples of Qimingyuan cannot be regarded as Xuanwei disciples, but Liu Heng's words are very representative. Xu Heng was interested in listening to what he had to say, and did not interrupt. He acted like he was listening. Liu Heng actually thought to himself and said: "At that time, the people practicing in the courtyard were ordinary people, a few monks, children of aristocratic families, and even high-ranking officials." Heirs of men...no matter what their origins are, the sermons every month are packed with people and crowded with people——" "Hey." Liu Heng sighed and said, "It's a pity, I don't know when we will be able to recreate such a grand occasion." "I see..." Xu Heng nodded thoughtfully. Thinking of Taoist Liu's attitude and words, his doubts were relieved a little. If what Liu Heng said is true, the current situation of the Xuanwei Sect should have turned from prosperity to decline. Even looking at the situation in Qiming Academy, I am afraid it is not just a slight decline. However, Xu Heng didn't have any thoughts because of this. If according to Pan Laodao's statement, the unworthy people who were driven down the mountain in Qiming Court were also 'masters' who had perfected the magic power of Xuan Guang. It can be seen that whether the Xuanwei sect rises or falls, it is a huge thing, not to mention what Liu Heng said, That may not be the truth. It's not that Liu Heng might have tricked him, but Xu Heng knew deeply that people's visions are very different. If you want to understand something, you obviously can't just listen to it from one person's mouth.
Of course, Xu Heng still listened attentively to what Liu Heng said. When Liu Heng saw this, he became even more talkative and talked a lot. It wasn't until he took a look at the sky that he suddenly realized what he was saying. He let out an ouch and said hurriedly: " I still have some morning training to do, so I’ll chat with my junior brother later.” After saying this, he hurried away without waiting for Xu Heng to reply. "Morning practice?" Xu Heng was a little surprised, but felt that it made sense. Qimingyuan is a place for practice after all. He once again thought about his cultivation, and even thought about the nameless Qi training technique he had learned from Pan Laodao. He felt itchy and wanted to pick it up again, but he was quickly rejected. He has great expectations to return to the path of spiritual practice, but he also knows very well that if he wants to "correct his evil ways" and worship Xuanwei, he cannot touch this kind of method with erroneous origins again, and in this Qiming Academy, learning It is only a matter of time before we find a better way to practice. Xu Heng retracted his thoughts, closed the courtyard door and returned to his room. According to Ling Lingxiu, the 'rising sun' is now a time when all things in the world are full of vitality, and people in the world will also be affected by this. In other words, the time when the sun rises is when the human body is refreshed and full of vitality, and it is also the best time for the Xuanyuan Foundation Building Pill to nourish the body.
