Chapter 65 The Red Dust Refines the Heart
Mysterious Mirror Realm, a secret realm without beginning.

It has been three days since the three of Lin Chuan entered the confined space.

The moonlight once again shone into the depths of the giant forest. Qin Wanrong hugged Xiao Qiqi, leaning against the thick tree trunk, silently waiting for the moment when the secret realm was closed.

Seeing that it was time to leave the secret realm, the poor Seventeenth Princess finally woke up.

Qin Wanrong, who had been absent-minded for the past few days, finally came to her senses, helped Xiao Shiqi up, and asked about the demon clan.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about what Lin Chuan will choose after opening the scroll, but she doesn't know that Lin Chuan has long forgotten the scroll.

Qin Ziyin was so heartless, he was just teasing Ling Dianwu, he didn't care about this major event that might change the world pattern, until he heard the succubus, he pricked up his ears and came over.

Xiao Shiqi couldn't remember what happened after being possessed by the succubus clone at all, but only remembered that when he entered the Beginless Secret Realm, he met gray mist.

Qin Wanrong didn't have any hope at all, and the succubus chose Xiao Qiqi probably because the child had a pure mind and would not leave too much information.

But even though she knew there was no result, the sadness between her brows deepened a bit.

……

Lin Chuan's screams have been echoing intermittently in the confined space for three days.

Taking advantage of these three days of free time, Jiang Luo wished to put all the problems he might encounter in the practice into Lin Chuan's head.

Lin Chuan also knows that he should cherish this opportunity, because after leaving the secret realm, there are still a lot of troubles waiting for him, but he just can't calm down.

Seeing that it was time to leave the secret realm, Jiang Luofei wanted to test Lin Chuan's study results, but Lin Chuan kept talking about him, which made Jiang Luo not suppress his anger and moved again.

When Jiang Luo was tired from beating, Lin Chuan approached Xuan Jing bitterly, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Why do you say that every time I see my junior sister, I don't have the heart to listen to the lecture..."

Before Xuan Jing could speak, the Shan Er on his head patted and swayed happily: "Little monk... the desire in his mind is almost overflowing, let me help him eat."

Lin Chuan skillfully tied Xin'er into a tight knot. He felt that he hadn't been able to make his junior sister happy these days because of the annoying rabbit ears talking around all the time.

Xuan Jing drooped her eyelids and said weakly:

"Brother, you should convert to Buddhism. If you cut off the thread of love, you will have no worries. It means that the heart is like a mountain. At that time, you will become the master of your body. If you want the body to learn, it will learn. If you want the body to cultivate, he will learn." Then practice..."

Lin Chuan pondered for two seconds, and said seriously:

"...Mainly, I just want to see my junior sister get angry, she's very beautiful~"

Xuan Jing untied Xin Er and handed it to Lin Chuan:

"Why don't you let Shan'er try..."

Lin Chuan rolled his eyes, put Shan'er on Xuan Jing's head, returned to Jiang Luo's side honestly, and began to recount what he wrote down in the past three days.

There is spirit and darkness, no matter what Jiang Luo asks, Lin Chuan can answer fluently.

In fact, even if Jiang Luo didn't ask, Lin Chuan had already asked Ling to sort out all the points Jiang Luo said.

……

According to Jiang Luo, when the ocean of spiritual energy covered the altar, the cultivator's original god would rise from the ocean of spiritual energy and step into the realm of psychic power.

To the cultivator, the realm of psychic power is the dragon gate. After jumping over it, one can go straight up to the road.

Therefore, after the monks entered the Qi Sea Realm, they entered a stage of exploring the essence, and even many monks who did not have the confidence to merge with the Dao would try to suppress their own realm.

As for the so-called search for the essence, the first step is to search for the essence of aura.

In the Mysterious Mirror Realm, Confucianism, Buddhism, Dao and Martial arts all lead to the same goal through different paths, because all monks cultivated spiritual energy, and they all have to be unified in the end. The difference is only in the form of expression of the techniques, which are essentially the use of spiritual energy.

At the Awakening Spirit Realm, when a monk casts a move, the color of the aura is blue, when it reaches the Qi Sea Realm, it becomes blue, when it reaches the Spirit Realm, it becomes purple, when it reaches Dao, it becomes red, and when it reaches the Unity Realm, it turns golden.

Every change in realm means a qualitative change in aura.

Not only realms, magic treasures, and pills, but also these items that contain spiritual energy are also classified according to the color of spiritual power.

Lin Chuan directly omitted this step. The main body of Linghe An is the most basic aura unit. He doesn't need to search for the essence at all. It would be nice to have more time to chat with Linghe An.

And after exploring the essence, it is down to the subtleties, the more detailed the control of the aura, the more powerful the moves, and the easier it is to create a technique that can be recognized by the Dao, so as to prepare for the future.

Lin Chuan also doesn't need to worry about this matter, he has spirit and darkness, and he can control every spiritual power factor with just one command.

This is also the reason why Lin Chuan is always absent-minded, because he can let Ling He An do all the difficulties in his cultivation.

……

Looking at Lin Chuan who answered the questions fluently, Jiang Luo's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Although his senior brother is always out of tune, he can surprise her every time.

It was the same when he was in the school before, even if he was sleeping all the time, when he was asked to answer a question, he never failed to answer it.

Jiang Luo didn't know that all of this was an illusion. Lin Chuan had Xiao Zuo to help him before, but now Ling secretly cheated for him. Her senior brother had never cared about studying.

……

Just when Lin Chuan was about to receive Jiang Luo's praise, the melodious sound of bamboo flutes suddenly came to mind in the confined space.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of Lin Chuan began to slowly distort, and the entire confined space was like a slowly expanding bubble, which shattered with a "boo".

The three of Lin Chuan appeared in front of Chengqing Palace in an instant.

Qin Ziyin hugged Xiao Shiqi, subconsciously took a step back, and hid behind Qin Wanrong: "Sister, there is something wrong with this atmosphere..."

Except for the Buddhist disciples, everyone appeared outside the Chengqing Hall.

Zhang Fengnian's injuries were not healed, and he was half lying on the ground. Xing Hai and the others subconsciously surrounded Zhang Fengnian.

Zhang Ye sat up from Qingniu's back and looked at Daoist Tian. The master and apprentice just looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Lin Chuan at the same time.

Kong Lv's face in front of the Chengqing Palace changed suddenly, and his spiritual consciousness swept over everyone in an instant, and Lin Chuan and the others felt a bone-chilling chill.

But the law of space did not discover the causal line.

General Deng on the side took a step forward, wanting to take the Seventeenth Princess from Qin Ziyin's hand, but Kong Lv raised his Zen stick horizontally and stood in front of him, saying in a deep voice:

"General Deng, wait a moment, the poor monk needs an explanation."

"Master Konglu found the wrong person."

Deng Guoan picked up the Zen staff with his saber, walked over with a normal face, took Xiao Shiqi from Qin Ziyin's hand, and brought the two siblings back to him by the way.

Yang Qian also wanted to bring Lu Da and the others over, but this time before Kong Lu could speak, the great thunder sound of the ancestor Wuji scattered the clouds above the Chengqing Hall:

"There are demons who have entered my secret realm of Wuji. Starting tomorrow, Wuji will conduct a thorough investigation. If you don't want to leave, you can come to my Wuji Peak to drink tea and discuss the Tao."

Kong Lu's face was so ugly that it almost dripped water, but he had to take two steps back, he knew that Yuan Zhen and the others must have passed away, but there was no causal line, and he didn't even have a reason to attack.

Although Patriarch Wuji became a lot more friendly after entering the Guiyi Realm, Kong Lu didn't have the guts to go to Wuji Peak for tea.

The realm of returning to oneness is unfathomable, even if the Taoist body goes there, Kong Lu is worried that his real body will be implicated.

Tian Daochang on the side has been watching Lin Chuan, which gave Lin Chuan a very bad premonition.

Taking advantage of the dilemma of each religion, Lin Chuan went straight to Deng Guoan and extended his hand to Qin Ziyin.

The Twelve Princes were also unambiguous, turned around and gave orders to Wei Hua of Yonganwei, and quickly handed over a package:
"It's all in there."

"There will be a period later."

Lin Chuan responded, and directly put the package into the imprint.

But before he opened his mouth to call for Patriarch Wuji and presented him with the real dragon, Layman Wangchen suddenly appeared behind him, without saying a word, he rolled him, Jiang Luo and Xuanjing with bamboo slips.

In the blink of an eye, they were all brought to the top platform of Kele Peak.

……

Both Master Yi Nian and Qing Ying were there, just as Wang Chen put Lin Chuan and the others down, Qing Ying brought a Naring Ring to Lin Chuan's hand, and said very seriously:

"There's not much time, I tell you to listen.

Bai Yu will send you down the mountain immediately. Don't mention the matter of the real dragon to anyone. The sect will help you suppress it. There is a new identity prepared by Lao Wu for you in Najie. Remember, within three months, you must rush to Zhongzhou Xuantian City joined Pingluan Academy with a new identity. "

At the same time, Master Yi Nian and Wang Chen also pulled their apprentices to give instructions.

Looking at Lin Chuan's wandering eyes, Qingying slapped him with her tail angrily:
"Repeat."

Lin Chuan said resentfully: "Within three months, enter Pingluan Academy, Mrs. Mistress, what's going on?"

This "teacher's wife" directly eased Qingying's expression, and she rubbed Lin Chuan's head with some distress:
"Don't ask, there is a letter from your master in the ring, Xiao Chuan, I can't protect you in this line of work, so be careful."

Lin Chuan wanted to ask again, but Master Yi Nian didn't give him a chance to speak.

"All actions are impermanent, all dharmas have no self, and there are thousands of dharmas, but the mind remains unchanged."

With the sound of solemn chanting, both Qingying and layman Wangchen injected their spiritual power into the Buddha light of Master Yi Nian.

The Buddha's light soon enveloped Lin Chuan and the three of them. They didn't notice any changes in themselves, they just felt warm, as if they were bathed in sunlight.

But Lin Chuan soon discovered that the little monk changed his appearance. Xuan Jing, who was still very cute a second ago, grew a little taller in an instant, and had an extra head of flowing black hair, turning into a handsome little scholar .

Jiang Luo was wearing a veil all the time, Lin Chuan failed to notice the change in her appearance, but her graceful figure became much more mediocre.

Qingying also took a bronze mirror and stood in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan found that his peach-blossom eyes became narrower and longer, the corners of his eyes turned up, his nasolabial folds became deeper, and his lips became thinner.

These are obviously small changes, but coupled with the evil spirit in his bones, no matter how you look at it, this is a villain's face!
Lin Chuan was very unconvinced, why did the little monk become so handsome, and now he became like a sick murderer...

But Qingying didn't give him a chance to complain at all, and waved to Bai Yu, and with a curl of his tail, he threw Lin Chuan onto Bai Yu's back:

"Go, Xuan Jing will walk with you, and you will be regarded as the world of mortals refining your heart."

Bai Yu turned her head, a trace of displeasure flitted across the scarred Crane's face in a very humane way.

The handsome little monk performed a Buddha ceremony to Master Yi Nian, and also straddled Bai Yu's back.

Lin Chuan looked at Lay Wangchen with a shy face:

"I actually want to be with Junior Sister..."

"Fuck off!"

Wangchen raised his sleeves angrily, and Mai Bahe flew into the sky with a flick of his wings.

Before Lin Chuan could say goodbye to Jiang Luo, he was blown by the frantic wind and closed his eyes:
"Maiba...slow down, I can't breathe anymore."

Bai Yu didn't respond, but his speed was obviously a little faster. He was obviously dissatisfied with Lin Chuan who gave him a random nickname.

Lin Chuan closed his mouth helplessly, got down on his stomach, and hugged the little monk tightly. He didn't want to be blown down by the wind.

……

Mai Bahe's speed was very fast. After a few ups and downs, he left Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing in the small woods outside the border guard city. Before leaving, he habitually cut Lin Chuan with his wings.

Lin Chuan was already a little disgusted by him, so when he flapped his wings, he vomited while holding the tree. After a long time, Xuan Jing helped him to sit aside.

It has only been less than a quarter of an hour since he came out of the Beginningless Secret Realm, and everything happened so fast that Lin Chuan was only now thinking about what happened.

……

First of all, Lin Chuan was not surprised that Qingying knew the existence of the real dragon. Xuanjing had already told him that the kit Wu Tian sent was the Qiankun bag. It is impossible to hide the matter of the dragon from him.

Lin Chuan's original plan was to send Ao Ye to the Wuji Patriarch in front of the three religions and the royal family after leaving the secret realm. Obviously, this was not in the interests of the Wuji School.

Layman Wangchen interrupted him just in time, and Master Yi Nian also prepared for the change of Dharma in advance.

All this shows that the Zongmen's attitude is to let Lin Chuan take the matter of the real dragon by himself, and it must have been approved by Wu Tian, ​​otherwise Qingying would not have appeared on the Bliss Peak on behalf of Wu Tian.

But Lin Chuan still didn't want to understand why the master wanted to join Pingluan Academy by himself. Even he, who had never been out of the sect, had heard of that place.

Pingluan Academy is a monastic institution established by the Great Master. The three religions and the royal family have all sent elders to teach in the academy, and even the Promise Sect has sent an elder there.

But those who graduated from Pingluan Academy disappeared mysteriously. No one knew where they were going. People said that those monks were regarded as cauldrons by the Great Master. After all, that one lived too long...

But even so, every year when Pingluan Academy opens, a large number of casual cultivators still gather in Xuantian City in Zhongzhou, fighting for a place...

Lin Chuan shook his head, and when his mind became clearer, he remembered that Qingying said that Master had left the letter in the ring, so he quickly sank his mind into the ring and checked it.

The space in the ring is not small, about two cubic meters, and the things inside are also neatly organized by Qingying, and sundries such as shoes and clothes are neatly stacked on one side.

Handwritten labels were also pasted on more than a dozen bottles of pills, and the rest was a bag of broken silver and a stack of silver notes issued by the Daqin Financial Secretary.

Lin Chuan took a rough look, and then took out the letter on the bank note, and Xuan Jing next to him also took out the letter left by Master Yi Nian.

……

[Xiao Chuan, once you enter Qi Sea Realm, you have to go to the world of mortals to refine your mind. This is the tradition of our Wuji Sect. There is a master who will change your appearance for you, whether it is appearance or breath. No one can recognize you.

As a teacher, you counted the birth of the real dragon, but you didn't count that the real dragon would sign the companionship contract with you. The real dragon is fate and calamity. You go to Pingluan Academy alone, your elder brother will wait for you there. 】

……

After reading Master's message, Lin Chuan took out the yellow book in the letter. The so-called yellow book is actually a proof of identity.

For corvee service and taxation, after the Great Qin unified Kyushu, the household registration "yellow book" was established to facilitate the collection of taxes and replenish the source of troops.

Daqin's household registration is divided into military households and civilian households. Military households pay less taxes, but they must perform military service, while civilian households pay more taxes, but they will not be forced to collect men.

In addition, all monks after awakening will also be registered by Jiantiansi. Cultivators can be exempted from taxes and corvee, but those casual cultivators who do not have sects cannot refuse Jiantiansi's call.

The identity Wu Tian prepared for Lin Chuan was Mu Shanhe, a disciple of Qingshan Taoist Temple.

According to the information left by the master, he and Xuan Jing are the only two disciples left in the entire Qingshan Taoist Temple, so there is no need for them to make up any more life experiences.

Lin Chuan received the letter, looked in the direction of Wujizong, and muttered with some annoyance:

"Xuantian City, Pingluan Academy, Brother Wushuang... I understand the truth, but why don't you let the three of us go together?"

Xuan Jing also read the letter, and said helplessly:

"Probably because the target is too obvious, let's start as soon as possible,"

"It's clearly that old witch... cough cough."

Just as Lin Chuan wanted to complain, he felt a wave of palpitations. Wu Tian sent his kits with spiritual consciousness attached to them. Presumably, those old non-cultivators should all have the same habit.

"Brother, speak carefully, misfortune comes from your mouth..."

As Xuan Jing spoke, he took off his cassock and put on a Confucian robe.

Lin Chuan also changed into a white Confucian robe, nodded resentfully, got up and walked towards the border city.

Thinking that this was his first time traveling far away, those troubles were quickly left behind by him, and his steps became much lighter.

Although Lin Chuan regretted not being able to go with Jiang Luo, and he may encounter many difficulties and obstacles along the way, facing this unknown journey, Lin Chuan was not at all anxious, but full of anticipation.
