Taoist chanting

Chapter 256 Strong branches and weak stems, what to make up for what is lacking

After leaving the city, Zhang Wenfeng picked wilderness mountain roads to walk. He held the dry hibiscus petals that had lost moisture in his hand, and asked, "Mo Ye, is it because I practice too fast that I am in this strange state?"

The barefoot hairpin woman walks beside the verdant woods and stream, with an elegant figure and light demeanor.

He reached out and plucked a finger-sized wild fruit from a nearby shrub.

"Your problem is not that you cultivate too fast, but that you put the cart before the horse and are top-heavy. The sword is a weapon for killing, and swordsmanship produces killing intent. If you cultivate the way of killing, it is a good thing to have a strong killing intent, but your inner alchemy is contrary to the killing intent." , there is a phenomenon of strong branches and weak trunks, and your body is not enough to support your internal supernatural powers, which leads to the strange situation of "the sword creates demons, and the supernatural powers counterattack the master."

Mo Ye explained casually, she didn't ask Zhang Wenfeng carefully how he cultivated inner supernatural powers, and lightly tossed the wild fruit that had been eaten by moths in her hand.

When the fruit falls on a foxtail, it bends the springy grass stem to the ground, and the grass stem is like a bow and cannot be restored.

Zhang Wenfeng understood, cupped his fists and saluted the casual woman's back.

After breaking some truths, he knew what to do.

His sword state is far beyond his current state of mind, not everyone can be like He Guangjun and only cultivate the heart of the sword.

There was a conflict between his way and the way of swordsmanship, which caused this catastrophe.

It's not that he can't use the sword supernatural power. If he uses it next time, to be on the safe side, he should first apply the "blue light reflection spell" supernatural power to himself in advance, and use the "quiet" state of mind, which should be able to counteract the breeding of inner demons caused by the sword state.

Of course, the most important thing is to strengthen the cultivation of one's own body and mind, so as to completely solve the hidden problems.

When they passed by, the fruit rolled down, and the foxtail bounced up again, swaying up and down.

Back at the foot of Xianlingguan Mountain, Mo Ye accidentally followed him to the Qingzheng Courtyard instead of going to the back mountain or the west forest.

Zhang Wenfeng was a little surprised but didn't ask any more questions. He walked into the tea house in the southeast courtyard and boiled water to make tea.

Mo Ye was playing with five cute little clay figurines. In the room, except for the gurgling of boiling water, both of them were speechless. One was thinking and deliberating, and the other was just playing with the clay figurines.

There was the sound of running footsteps in the corridor, stopping outside the tea house, followed by a knock on the door.

"Monastery, there are two female guests asking to see you."

Zhang Wenfeng motioned for the apprentices outside the door to come in, but the door was open, and asked, "Have they reported their names?"

The apprentice clasped his fists together: "Report, one is Xin Yue and the other is Xin Xing."

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at Mo Ye and ordered, "Go and invite them to the tea house."

He finally understood Mo Ye's intention to come to Qingzheng Bieyuan, and wanted to meet the two fox demons who came to visit.

"Yes!"

The apprentice turned and went out, and ran to the west.

Zhang Wenfeng rinsed the tea set with boiling water. The fox demon came to visit at this time. Apart from thanking him for forwarding the items entrusted by Jiuming, he probably wouldn't negotiate any deals with him, right?
After waiting for a while, when he heard footsteps outside, he got up and went to the door to greet him. Mo Ye was still playing with clay figurines.

His attitude towards Xinyue had always been indifferent, and he was just a guest at the door, so a smile appeared on his face.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Zhang Wenfeng stretched out his hand to ask the guest to come in and sit down, and asked Xin Xing, who looked around curiously, "Is your injury healed?"

The last time he saw the little fox demon's face was lacking in blood, and his injuries hadn't healed.

Compared to the cunning and changeable Xin Yue, he would rather chat with the new Xin Xing.

If you are not too cold, it will make the atmosphere awkward.

"Receive for a few more days, take medicine, and everything will be fine."

Xin Xing replied with a smile, or received a voice transmission reminder from her sister, and saluted again: "Thank you, Guanzhu Zhang, for your concern." Seeing the clay figurine in Mo Ye's hand beside him, she was very interested and approached: "Sister, what is this? Is it fun? "

Zhang Wenfeng almost choked on the tea that came out of his nostrils, and hurriedly said, "Xin Xing, I want to call him 'Mr. Mo'."

Jiu Ming had been taught by Mo Ye, and after all, the little fox demon had to be called Patriarch Mo Ye.

Mo Ye glanced at the little fox demon, and said with a smile, "It's okay to call me sister." He handed the five clay figurines to Xin Xing, and said, "This is a clay figurine doll. If you like it, I'll give it to you to play with. Don't drop it and break it into pieces." gone."

The little fox demon was overjoyed, holding five clay figurines of different shapes, and said: "I like it, thank you sister Mo, I will be careful not to let them break."

Xinyue sat on the side, sizing up the barefoot woman in the black dress with the hairpin flower indistinctly. She didn't have the skills of an earth spirit, but she was also full of suspicions. She vaguely felt that this image seemed to overlap with the records in an ancient book in the clan.

It's a pity that the family's collections were all destroyed by the ghost attack in March.

Or she can look through it for comparison.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he politely thanked him and said, "Excuse me, Guanzhu Zhang, when did you see that person? Where did he go?"

It is inconvenient for her to call her ancestors by their first names, and if there are outsiders, she will use "he" instead.

"I met once at the end of April, and he refused to say where he went."

Seeing Mo Ye and the little fox demon playing with five clay figurines on the coffee table, Zhang Wenfeng seemed to have a lot of common topics, so he murmured and added: "Before he left, he sent two third-order ghosts from Guizailing... Killed."

The word "swallow" was not used, and it was temporarily changed to kill.

The tears in Xin Yue's eyes couldn't stop flowing down immediately, she turned her head to wipe them away.

She understood that her ancestors were avenging the dead clansmen. Back then, two third-order ghosts led a group of ghosts and captured the protective demon formation of "White Fox Castle". She just wondered why the ancestors didn't wipe out all those ghosts?
Silence for a while.

Xinyue turned her head and saw that Mr. Mo, who looked a little mysterious to her, was enjoying herself with her younger sister, but she couldn't find much information about the ancestor's whereabouts from Guanzhu Zhang, and said, "The Da'an Dynasty allowed us to choose a place to live in peace. , we have no relatives in the Da'an Dynasty, and I would like to ask Master Zhang to give us some pointers, where can we live and live?"

Zhang Wen was in the limelight, the fox meant that he wanted to live next door to him.

He didn't know how to reply for a while, so couldn't he stay away?

Mo Ye, who was playing with the little fox demon, turned his head and said, "Fifteen or six miles to the northwest, there is a piece of wasteland, mountains and forests, which can be used as a new residence for your three-tailed demon fox tribe. Small is small, and quiet is better."

Xin Yue's heart moved, she stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your suggestion, we will choose that place."

Xin Xing hurriedly said: "I want it. Sister Mo, can you go to play often?"

Mo Ye touched the little fox demon's head and said with a smile, "I opened a field over there and planted a few flowers and plants. I often go there."

"Okay, I can plant flowers for you."

Sending off the fox demon sisters, when Zhang Wenfeng came back, Mo Ye was nowhere to be seen. He patrolled the corridor and returned to his own cave in the back mountain. Sleep soundly.

With Mo Ye restrained, he was very relieved of the earth spirit, and that guy couldn't be driven away now.

Sitting down in the quiet room of the cave mansion, Zhang Wenfeng thought about re-planning his future training plan.

He spends half of his time every day getting close to nature and strengthening his cultivation. He has his own arrangements for other wooden techniques, body techniques, talisman drawing, wood-fire condensation, thunder techniques, and painting, which relatively reduces swordsmanship practice.

What is lacking and what to make up for is a simple truth.

The only thing is that he has no experience in physical training.

Since Mo Ye reminded him of "strong branches and weak stems", it is imminent to strengthen the main body's physique.

He was thinking about asking Mo Ye for advice again when he saw Mo Ye. A few words from a master was better than his own groping.

……

On the top of the main peak of Jiuhe Mountain, there is a majestic and huge palace.

Feng Qiyue, the only monk in the Nine Crane Palace, received two brothers Feng Chengfeng and Feng Chengyun in one of the abodes.

After listening to the two people's narration, Venerable Qi Yue, who was dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and looked pale, opened his sleepy eyes, and said slowly: "A few days ago, fellow Daoist Gao Yi from Weiyun Temple, came to trust me to take care of Zhang Xiaoyou in the territory."

After talking for a while, he stopped talking.

Feng Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Uncle Fifteen..." Glancing at the middle-aged Taoist priest sitting above him, he changed his words and said, "Master, although I had a sparring session with Guanzhu Zhang, there was no gap between us, and we became friends. Beat friends you don't know."

Venerable Qi Yue was noncommittal and asked, "How is his strength?"

"He only used sword skills and body skills from the beginning to the end. That sword is so powerful that I can't stop it, and I can't avoid it."

Feng Chengfeng answered honestly, thought for a while, and added: "His sword seems to be flawed, and he couldn't control it. It was only when a strange woman made a move that the crisis was resolved."

Venerable Qi Yue asked about the woman's situation, the two of them knew very little, they were mostly speculative.

After pondering for a while, Venerable Qi Yue made arrangements: "Chengyun, you will be the head of the Daolu branch of Xiling County when the time comes. The previously selected candidate has been changed, and you go to discuss with the head of Guo."

Feng Chengyun cupped his fists to accept the order: "Yes, follow the Master's order!"

"As for Chengfeng...you hand in the damaged 'rock armor' shirt to the warehouse, and continue to go back to the border of Chongzhou to practice. When you sharpen your cultivation to perfection, you will come back! No, there is no need to come back,"

"...No, Master, I..."

"Go down!"

"Yes!"

Feng Chengfeng clasped his fists slightly, turned around and strode out the door with a very unsightly expression.

Feng Chengyun wanted to intercede for his cousin, but he didn't dare to speak up. Master Qi Yue was obviously annoyed at Feng Chengfeng's self-assertion, self-willedness, and almost lost his life.

There was silence in the empty room.

"Our Nine Crane Palace seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, the tree is so big that it attracts the wind, and it is in danger. There are countless pressures from all kinds of light and darkness, but some stupid people are not restrained, and they are arrogant everywhere. If they are so capable, they will create a free environment for them. Let others see."

Venerable Qi Yue showed no expression on his face, and said: "You have a calm temperament, I have always been at ease in doing things, and when you take office, I don't need to teach you how to do it."

Feng Chengyun clasped his fists to signal his understanding.

"Don't blame me for being cruel, let Chengfeng return to the border to suffer. Zhang Wenfeng has several forces behind him, and he can count with his fingers. He just wanted to provoke him, thinking that after a fight, he would become friends with a few polite words. ? Childish! And... that girl in the black dress is not simple!"

"Yes, Chengyun understands!"

"Go down!"
