Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 7
The next day, Zhou Qing led his maid, Suyun, and went out early. The two of them walked southeast for three or four miles, and bright green clouds gushed out in front of them.

This is a large area of ​​bamboo forests, the poles are green and unrestrained, and the gaps between the branches and leaves are mixed with the sunlight that leaks down, and the ground is bright and clean.

Zhou Qing and Suyun walked through the bamboo forest and arrived at the gate of Qingyun Garden.

"Who are you looking for?"

The servants at the door saw Zhou Qing's master and servant, and asked without waiting for them to go up the steps.

"I'm Zhou Qing, and I came to ask to see Lay Qingyun today."

Zhou Qing spoke slowly, with an indescribable calmness.

"Okay, wait a moment."

Seeing that Zhou Qing's eyes were bright, his forehead was full of jade light, and he was wearing the unique jade pendant of the clan, the gatekeeper immediately saw that Zhou Qing was a child of the clan, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately agreed and went back to pass on the message.

Not long ago, the janitor returned, followed by a middle-aged man with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, dressed in butler clothes, with a smile on his face.

After the middle-aged man came out, he turned his eyes and saw Zhou Qing with his hands down, his hair tied up and wearing a silver crown, and his tall body looked like he was waiting. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he quickly covered it, saying: "I It's Zhou Heng, you want to see my master?"

"Zhou Heng."

Hearing these two words, Zhou Qing thought about it.

Before he came, he had done his homework in advance.So he knew that Zhou Heng was one of Zhou Xian's most trusted butlers that he wanted to visit.Originally, this person didn't have this name, but Zhou Xian spoke up, so he changed his name and surname to take care of business.

"It turned out to be Housekeeper Zhou."

Zhou Qing took a step forward, took out the letter from his sleeve, handed it up, and said, "My uncle Zhou Ming's letter is to be handed over to Lay Qingyun."

Zhou Heng memorized the Hengnan Zhou family's "hero spectrum" by heart, and immediately went through Zhou Ming's information in his mind. He thought of his master Qingyun Layman's explanation, and the smile on his face became more gentle, saying: "Master Qing , you follow me to the mansion for a rest, the master will give you instructions after reading the letter."

Although Zhou Qing wanted to borrow Lingquan to practice sooner, he also knew that Qingyun Garden had its own rules, so he could only nod his head and replied, "Okay."

"Let's go, let's go into the mansion."

Looking at the relaxed and freehand young man who is close at hand, and the calm and composed brow, Zhou Heng's eyes flashed away.

He was well-informed and knew that the young man in front of him was in a difficult situation, and the visible and invisible pressure gathered around him, almost bending him down.

But when we met today, Zhou Qing didn't seem to be under any pressure at all this time, and he was charming.

Zhou Heng thought about something, led Zhou Qing and Suyun to a courtyard in the mansion to settle down, and then came to the back of the manor, a quiet wooden building surrounded by bamboo leaves.

A bay of stream passes in front of the building, and the green bamboo leaves cover the ripples of the stream, reflecting the deepness inside the building.

When Zhou Heng arrived here, he stopped, bowed to the building, and said, "Master."

As the words fell, almost at the same time, the cloud in the bamboo building bloomed like a lotus flower, lifted upwards, and a figure changed from virtual to real, and sat calmly on it.

He wears a purple gold crown on his head, a colorful treasure garment, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist. He is of extremely tall stature, and his skin has an unusual frosty whiteness, like the snow on the peak in winter.

The middle-aged man on the throne held Yu Ruyi in one hand, with a gentle and pleasant voice, different from his cold appearance, and said: "Speak."

"Letter from Zhou Ming."

Zhou Heng said concisely, took out the letter, and handed it over.

Layman Qingyun in the bamboo building took it over, unfolded it and read it, then spoke, and said, "Zhou Mingxin said that he wanted his nephew Zhou Qing to borrow the spiritual spring in the mansion."

Having said that, he smiled again, and said, "I owe Zhou Ming a big and small favor. Zhou Ming has been unsatisfactory for so many years, so he didn't say anything."

Zhou Ming valued his nephew very much, and his master was ready to agree to Zhou Ming's request. After Zhou Heng heard the meaning from the words, he coughed, organized his words, and said, "Master, this Zhou Qing is having a hard time recently."

Layman Qingyun sat on the lotus, his eyes were full of inquiry.

Zhou Heng told what he knew, and just from the words, he could faintly see the invisible net, trapping Zhou Qing in it, making it difficult for him to fly, and finally said: "Zhou Luoyun has really made up his mind. .”

Layman Qingyun looked at ease. Hearing this, he became interested and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is Zhou Ming's nephew capable of that can make Zhou Luoyun so targeted?"

Zhou Heng shook his head, expressing that he hadn't found out. After a long time, he tentatively said, "Master, could it be related to the Jingchen Fahui?"

Zhou Luoyun was dazzling among the younger generation of the Hengnan Zhou Clan, and almost no one could compete with him. It was said that he did not plan to develop in the clan, but aspired to join the sect and show off his ambitions.For the descendants of the Zhou family in Hengnan, the upcoming Jingchen Dharma Conference is the best opportunity to join the sect.

Many people in the clan knew that Zhou Luoyun was preparing for the Shocking Chen Ceremony.

"This time the Shocking Dharma Conference."

Layman Qingyun seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were radiant, and then he closed them again, pondered for a while, and said: "You go and send Zhou Qing to Shuixiang Xiaozhu."

"master."

Zhou Heng meant to remind him, in this way, he helped Zhou Qing and hurt Zhou Luoyun.

That's all for Zhou Luoyun, after all, he is still young and doesn't have enough influence in the clan, but the people behind Zhou Luoyun are extraordinary, even Qing Yunyuan has to be scruples.

Layman Qingyun's figure gradually disappeared, and in the end, he disappeared completely, leaving only a golden jade-like lingering sound, swirling like a crescent moon, saying: "I just asked Zhou Qing to come to Shuixiang Xiaozhu and allow him to approach the spiritual spring inside. As for the rest, I don't care."

Looking at the empty Baolian, Zhou Heng was at a loss at first, but then thinking of the current situation of Shuixiang Xiaozhu, his eyes gradually became enlightened.

"I see."

Zhou Heng understood his master's "shangyi", he left the bamboo building, went to the gate of the other courtyard, and found Zhou Qing inside.

It was noon at this time, the shadow of the sun was whirling, and the ground was full of gold, and I saw a young man with his hair and crown sitting peacefully on the stone table, with an indifferent expression, like a clay statue.

But when he got close, he could hear a faint voiceless sound, like the wind on the water, moving forward with drum waves, it is the inner energy moving through the pulse, and it goes back and forth in the sky.

He looked at the young man who was practicing seriously, and felt a touch in his heart.

After Zhou Qing circulated his inner qi for a week, if he felt a sense, he opened his eyes and saw the figure at the door. He stood up, walked to him, and said, "Butler Zhou."

"It's really hard work." Zhou Heng smiled kindly, and said: "Bringing good news, my master allows young master to live in Shuixiang Xiaozhu and get close to the spiritual spring inside."

After Zhou Qing heard this, he looked very happy, and he did not forget to thank layman Qingyun and the butler Zhou in front of him.

"Go to Shuixiang Xiaozhu first."

Zhou Heng walked in front and led Zhou Qing and the two of them, one in front and the other behind, to the back mountain of Qingyun Garden.

After a while, after crossing a stone bridge and going north, a mountain gate leaps out, on which hangs a pure black plaque, with a pure blue iron hook and silver painting of the word "Shuixiang". A sense of spiritual change.

As soon as he climbed the steps, Zhou Qing heard the sound of gurgling from behind the door. At the same time, he sensed wisps of damp air coming from under his feet. He was startled, and said to himself: "The water here is more abundant than mine. Unexpectedly, it is indeed suitable for me to practice "Yuan Huang Hua Long Tu"."

After opening the door and entering, the water vapor is stronger when inside, and there is a faint mist of water everywhere, which is a vast expanse of whiteness.

Housekeeper Zhou led Zhou Qing to walk for a while, and saw a rattan ladder going from top to bottom, surrounded by thousands of strange small flowers, which could not be blown by the wind. in the Abode.

"Bing six."

Seeing Zhou Qing looking up at the mid-empty abode, Manager Zhou said with a smile: "For a while, young master can live in No. [-] abode..."

Zhou Qing nodded, and took a breath silently. He only felt the pores on his skin slowly open, and there was a sense of coolness, as if the moisture outside was penetrating in.

This is of course an illusion. After all, it is impossible for a monk to take the initiative to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body without completing the foundation building.

But this also shows the abundance of water vapor, which is really amazing.

"I have already explained how to use the Abode, and there is nothing else to say."

Butler Zhou's eyes became darker, glowing in the hazy mist, and said: "Just one thing to remind Mr. Qing, there are people living in other houses in this Shuixiang Xiaozhu. .”

"They are either my lord's juniors, or they came in with my lord's permission like Young Master Qing. They are all young and very energetic."

"There are too many people, it may not be as clean as one person. But Xiaozhu has his own rules, and nothing too outrageous will happen."

After Zhou Qing listened, he frowned inconspicuously before saying, "Thank you for reminding me."

Housekeeper Zhou gave a last smile, turned and left, and quickly disappeared into the vast mist of water, without a trace.

Zhou Qing meditated on the spot for a moment, and his expression returned to calm. He stretched out his sleeves and walked steadily along the rattan ladder to the floating pavilion step by step.

The floating pavilion is not big, with jade stools, jade tables, and jade beds, everything is available, the top and bottom are clean and spotless.

However, Zhou Qing only glanced at it, and then turned his gaze to the large front window, where the glass reflected the Lingquan below, which was five or six feet wide, protruding furiously, like boiling.Around it, there are stone railings, layer after layer, engraved with wonderful patterns, faintly with the power of a magic circle, leaping above it, protecting the spiritual spring in the center.

Zhou Qing was condescending, looking at the Lingquan, and the strings of water droplets gushing out of the spring were reflected in his pupils, round and wishful, and under the sky, there was a colorful color, which fascinated people.

After observing the Lingquan, he shifted his eyes, and immediately saw that around the Lingquan, many Buddhist houses and floating pavilions were faintly visible in the water vapor, like stars in the sky falling into the waves, twinkling and twinkling, light and dark intersecting.

"There are people in the Jingshe Floating Pavilion."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, looking at the Jingshe Fuge, which seemed to be floating in mid-air, thinking back and forth in his mind.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

What's more, there are people with malicious intentions outside, even if they come to Shuixiang Xiaozhu, they will try their best to stir up trouble and keep themselves from being safe.

"Zhou Luoyun."

Zhou Qing still felt heavy when he thought of the person behind Guan Ping.

He is really talented. In his last life, he became a blockbuster at the Jingchen Dharma Conference and successfully entered the Zhenyi sect of Shangxuanmen.And all the way from an inner disciple, to a true disciple, and then to one of the top ten disciples, it is so dazzling that it cannot be added.

Not only that, he also intervened in the Hengnan Zhou family's family affairs, supported cronies, and attacked dissidents.In the end, the main branch he belonged to was completely dominant, and the branch branch was dying.

The Hengnan Zhou family, a thousand-year-old family, was almost decided by him with one word.

In this turbulent journey, lofty ambitions, tenacious character, deep thoughts, clever handling of things, etc., are all indispensable.

The current Zhou Luoyun does not have the demeanor of his heyday, but with the resources he mobilized from the Zhou clan in Hengnan, he is like a tiger with wings added. The gap between himself in the Tongmai realm is too big, he is completely passive and has no strength to resist.

Zhou Qing's eyes were heavy. Only when he broke through to wash his marrow and mobilized the power of the immortal bone, could he stand firm and use his means to move around, looking for an opportunity to frustrate Zhou Luoyun's bullying.

If you don't practice enough to wash your marrow, you will be in the current situation, being constantly calculated, and you will be so aggrieved that you can't add it.

"Wash the marrow."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency in his heart, he must break through as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.

Once something unexpected happens, everything will be in vain for my uncle's contribution and the "reward" I thought for breaking the situation.

"Practice."

Zhou Qing thought about the account of the housekeeper Zhou, he restrained his thoughts, took half a step forward, sat down on the jade bed in the abbot room, and performed the real power of Biyou Palace "Yuan Huang Hua Long Tu", the next moment, there seemed to be springs in all directions The sound, the unprecedented water vapor rises up and surrounds it.

After a monk steps into the induction, he can sense the inspirations from the heavens and the earth, and after building the foundation, shed his mortal body, and then he can actively attract the inspirations from the heavens and the earth into his body.

Zhou Qing is only at the meridian level now, and of course it is impossible to take the initiative to lead the spiritual wisdom into the body to practice, but because the floating pavilion is connected to the spiritual spring, and then through the special magic circle, the water vapor guided is too strong, and the water movement seems to be real. Coupled with the extraordinary nature of "Yuan Huang Hua Long Tu", he can actually passively inhale wisps of inspiration through his skin.

This is completely incomparable with monks actively introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body after building the foundation. One is on the ground and the other is in the sky, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. One turn, integrated into the internal force, immediately produce mysterious to inconceivable changes.
