Chapter 43: Loneliness

"Heart-to-heart communication" is a Buddhist term, and in the Cihang lineage, it is classified as the "Heart Volume".

"Cihang Universal Sword Canon" is divided into four volumes, which can also be regarded as four stages, namely: "Sword Volume", "Heart Volume", "No Word Volume", and "I Volume", which together mean "Sword Heart Without Self". Among them, "I Volume" is the most profound, "No Word Volume" is the second, "Heart Volume" is the third, and "Sword Volume" is the last. These four volumes are progressive, just like laying a solid foundation and then building a tall building, so "Cihang Universal Sword Canon" is a method of the orthodox way of Xuanmen, not a method of the side door.

"Heart Volume" is the advancement of "Sword Volume" and the foundation of "No Word Volume", and its key lies in the word "heart". This heart is not only one's own heart, but also the heart of others. Like "Taishang Wangqing Sutra", it inherits the methods of some people who cultivate their hearts.

If you really want to practice, it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. For Qi Xuansu, the biggest problem is that he does not have the foundation of "Sword Scroll". He cannot learn "Sword Scroll" temporarily. It is easier to learn to speak Japanese.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu has a way. When the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect fought, the Buddhist sect learned the Taoist sect's grade system. The Taoist sect also gained some benefits and imitated the Buddhist initiation method to create a method of sudden enlightenment. To put it bluntly, it is to copy one's own experience and perception, and then give it directly to others, saving time and effort.

However, the threshold of this method is very high. The person being taught must be at least in the heavenly stage, so that he can withstand the impact without damaging his soul. The requirements for the person who teaches are even higher. He must be above the immeasurable stage and have considerable attainments in soul cultivation. In other words, a warrior cannot use this method.

Moreover, even if the person who teaches sends it out and the person who is taught accepts it, there is still the problem of whether it is suitable. In fact, people choose the law, and the law also chooses people. There is a fate between the two. Some people are born with strong physiques and are gifted in learning boxing, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, if they are asked to learn magic, it is like trying to push a piece of mud against a wall, and the result will be half the effort with twice the effort. This is the question of whether it is suitable or not.

The more critical problem is that this method has great limitations, because the whole text is other people's understanding. It is difficult to make any progress in the life of the quick-learning method in this way, and the person who teaches it will also slightly reduce his cultivation. Therefore, a serious master will not use this method to teach his apprentices, but let the apprentices practice on their own, and it is impossible to use it on a large scale. First, there are not so many people who meet the conditions to be taught, and second, even if the loss of cultivation is small, it will shake the foundation when it accumulates.

Zhang Yuelu is a banished immortal in the immeasurable stage, and Qi Xuansu has a solid heavenly cultivation, which meets the requirements. Qi Xuansu also has no intention of working harder on the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", and is not afraid of making no progress in the future.

However, Zhang Yuelu was afraid that Qi Xuansu and the "Heart Scroll" were not compatible, so she asked Qi Xuansu to memorize the book for a few days, mainly the formula of the "Heart Scroll". He didn't need to understand it in detail, as long as he understood the general meaning and principle. If he didn't understand anything specifically, he could ask her. After all, Zhang Yuelu had a lot of tasks on hand. This time, Zhang Wuliang met with Qingwei Zhenren, thanks to her matchmaking. She really didn't have so much time to teach Qi Xuansu.

After Qi Xuansu memorized the formula, he went to find Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu was immersed in the vast sea of ​​various official documents. When he saw Qi Xuansu coming in, he put aside the task on hand for the time being, stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows, pulling out a little spiritual light from it, and then sent it to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took the spiritual light, pressed it into his brow, and asked, "Is that all?"

"What else do you want? I'll do a 'immortal touches your head' to confer immortality?" Zhang Yuelu said, "If you can learn it, you can learn it. If you can't, there's nothing I can do."

Qi Xuansu is very confident: "Qiniang said that I have first-class comprehension, but my aptitude is a little poor. It's impossible for me not to learn it."

As a brilliant exiled immortal, Zhang Yuelu doesn't like to pour cold water on Qi Xuansu. He usually encourages him: "That's right, I believe you."

Qi Xuansu feels that there is something more in his upper dantian. While he is integrating Zhang Yuelu's gift, he talks to Zhang Yuelu: "How is Zhang Juquan's matter?"

"It shouldn't cause too much trouble." Zhang Yuelu replied, "In fact, it's also easy to judge. If the Zhang family intends to retaliate, they will definitely take action in advance, such as communicating with their own people, secretly connecting, etc., which is difficult to conceal from others, that is, the so-called undercurrent. But now it seems that there is no such undercurrent."

Qi Xuansu said: "The Zhang family lost a man in vain. Regardless of whether this man should die or not, the Zhang family just let it go?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Zhang Juquan deserved it. In the final analysis, the root cause lies with him. Others just fanned the flames. If he had kept himself clean and didn't have such a big handle for others to catch, what could others do to him? If it was a frame-up, the Zhang family would be the first to disagree."

"But the Li family must have made compensation, such as giving in to Zhang Jucheng's appointment as the head of the Jiangnan Daofu in exchange for the Zhang family's peace. As for the Zhang family, even if they fight back, they are not sure of winning. It is very likely that both sides will suffer losses, and the Quanzhen Dao will benefit. Although the two families are allies, allies also share the pot. The Zhang and Li families are afraid of both ends, so they can quickly make peace."

Qi Xuansu sighed: "From this point of view, no matter what time, you must be upright and stand up to scrutiny from others."

Zhang Yuelu thought of the mountain-like errands and became a little impatient: "Are you done?"

"Come on, come on." Qi Xuansu said, "Let's chat for a while."

Zhang Yuelu rolled her eyes at him: "You look respectable and dignified in front of outsiders. How come you are a bit of a rogue in private?"

Qi Xuansu said matter-of-factly: "Everyone has three faces, and different faces treat different people. Do you want me to treat those female Taoist priests the same way I treat you?"

Zhang Yuelu laughed and said, "You can try it."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Your attitude towards me is also different from your attitude towards other people. You also have three faces, so why bother talking about me?"

Zhang Yuelu did not refute this and said: "I said last time that if you do something sorry for me, I will kill you with a sword. What will you do if I do something sorry for you?"

Qi Xuansu said matter-of-factly: "You still have to ask? Of course I will kill you with one sword. This is called equality. If we both do something that is sorry for the other, then we will die together. No one can live, and we will be buried together." No one can have fun and continue to torture each other.”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but smile and said: "Very good, this is the right thing, it is equality. If you dare to say you forgive me, then I will look down on you."

Qi Xuansu said: "It seems that both of us are very ill. It's good to be together so as not to harm others."

This seems to be a joke, but it is not entirely a joke. Because he has no father or mother, Qi Xuansu is extremely picky and attaches great importance to relationships. He generally does not recognize anyone casually. He neither calls others brothers nor recognizes any elders casually. He is alone. people. But once you recognize someone, he will be loyal to the end, will not betray others, and will not tolerate betrayal. If he suffered betrayal, it was hard to say what Qi Xuansu would do.

Most people can't stand this kind of extreme emotion, unless they are of the same kind.

Now it seems that Zhang Yuelu also has similar qualities. When the two met for the first time, they both left a deep impression on each other. It is difficult to say why similar people are attracted to each other. This gave the two a good start in their relationship.

To put it into detail, although Zhang Yuelu has both parents, she is lonely in the overall environment.

The Zhang family regarded her as a threat and took every possible precaution against her, as if her surname was not Zhang, so how could there be any family warmth? Even Zhang Yuyue, with whom she has the best relationship, cannot be said to be an intimate.

She is nominally a disciple of Cihang's lineage, but she has never been to Putuo Island and has an estranged relationship with her senior sisters. In fact, the fact that the children of the Zhang family become disciples of the Cihang lineage is very embarrassing. How often have you heard of the children of the Li family becoming the disciples of the Qingqiu lineage? ? Some people may say that Yao Pei is still a disciple of Master Donghua, but Yao Pei's mother's surname is Pei, and Master Donghua is essentially her uncle.

That was all. Zhang Yuelu went to Beichen Hall again. It was inevitable that he would be ostracized. When he was sent to investigate the major case in Jiangnan, he looked around and saw that there were enemies both inside and outside.

Zhang Yuelu has ambitions, wants to change the Taoism, and tries his best not to fall in line with others, but all he gets is that he is "difficult to get along with," "has a high self-esteem," "is not down to earth," "pretentiously aloof," and "domineering and surly." Waiting for fame.

Finally, she returned to her parents. Her mother did not understand her, and they were in two different worlds.

Her father may understand her, but because of his own personality problems, he does not fully support her.

Many people support the legendary Zhang Yuelu. Do those people care what Zhang Yuelu thinks? They supported Zhang Yuelu only because of Zhang Yuelu's identity, and placed all their unrealistic delusions on Zhang Yuelu. It seems that Zhang Yuelu has become outstanding, and they have also become outstanding, and they are proud of it.

So, is Zhang Yuelu lonely?

Lonely.

Zhang Yuelu has a strong heart and can bear it. But there is no conflict between strength and loneliness.

So in a sense, in addition to their relationship, the two of them are also two lonely people who keep each other warm.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yuelu must have been delighted when she met Qi Xuansu, who understood and supported her. Maybe Qi Xuansu didn't fully understand her at first, but Qi Xuansu made a change. This was not because Qi Xuansu took the initiative to cater to Zhang Yuelu, but because Qi Xuansu thought Zhang Yuelu was right, so Zhang Yuelu opened up to Qi Xuansu, put down her reserve, and took the initiative to promote the two of them. Relationship.

】

As a loner, Zhang Yuelu also cannot tolerate betrayal, but can understand each other with Qi Xuansu.

If it had been someone else, he would have heard Zhang Yuelu say that he would kill him with one sword. Or don't take it seriously and just treat it as a joke. Or he was secretly frightened and just wanted to stay away from Zhang Yuelu. Or maybe they are eager to express their feelings and prove their loyalty.

Only Qi Xuansu can say, I will kill you with one sword, this is called fairness.

What should I do if my feelings are still lingering? Simple, bury them together and continue to torture each other.
