Chapter 120 Circle
"Aunt Jincheng, you are so beautiful!" Li Yan'er praised sincerely. In a blink of an eye, she seemed to have forgotten the grievance of being bullied. She raised her head and looked at the taller Jincheng, "Today my aunt is even more beautiful than before."
Because Jincheng helped her? The same thing will not be the same in the eyes of different people. Naturally, you should like people who have a good impression of it.
Jincheng smiled slightly and quietly looked at the pavilions and water pavilions beside Taijiu Pool. The sunset was embraced by Taijiu Pool and floated gently with the waves. The originally simple water pavilions also became gorgeous and shiny because of the golden light.
The slightly raised roof, the quiet and beautiful doors, and rows of ancient lattice windows are solemn but not lacking in vitality, beautiful but not frivolous. Everything is beautiful.
Li Yan'er was unwilling to admire the wonderful beauty of the Ming Palace.... She sat on the edge of the pavilion, held up her chin, and stared at her aunt Jincheng. Her aunt was always so gentle and quiet, with her behavior light and elegant, but there were too many things that Li Yan'er couldn't understand in her eyes... Why did her aunt always look worried? Even if she smiled, it would make people feel slightly hurt; even if she looked bright, the flowing light of her eyes made people feel that she was thousands of miles away.
"Aunt, why did everyone like me so much before, but now they hate me so much? Am I not good at first, but they treat me well because of their respect for uncles and uncles... Am I so annoying?" Li Yan'er finally remembered her unhappiness and raised her diamond-shaped mouth and said aggrievedly.
Jin Cheng turned around and sat gently beside Li Yan'er, stretched out his finger and scraped her nose, and smiled, "Little fool."
Li Yaner pouted: "Auntie doesn't like me anymore? I'm calling me stupid..."
Jin Cheng said gently: "Don't care too much about other people's eyes. Just know whether you are good or not? Beauty is the greatest desire of women. Whether they appreciate you or are jealous of you, they are affirmation of you. Yan'er understands?"
Li Yan'er nodded in a vague way and looked at Jincheng with a gaze.
At this time, a strange sneer flashed in Jincheng's gentle and calm eyes: "Let them curse you behind their backs, inferiority complex is the shadow that burys them."
Li Yan'er said: "But that Wang Zhaoyi wants to isolate me. In the future, everyone will stop talking to me and ignore me. What's the use of whether I am good or bad... Aunt, if you are not like them, you will never treat Yan'er like that, right?"
Jincheng suddenly said coldly, "One person cannot place hope on another person, and the other person does not live for one person. I don't matter to you... Others are preparing dowry for me, it's very rich, with all the gems and jewelry from the West Regions in the East China Sea."
Li Yan'er felt uncomfortable and grabbed Jin Cheng's hand and said, "Aunt, don't you want to go to Tubo? I'll go on your behalf!"
Jin Cheng turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Yan'er's eyes soaked in tears: "Why?"
Li Yan'er choked and said, "Chang'an, Daming Palace, all those who care about me are dead. Aunt helps me take care of my mother, don't let others bully her, I will go to Tubo for you... Auntie must remember Yan'er."
Jin Cheng suddenly shook her hand away and said coldly: "Don't worry about my business!"
"Aunt, are you angry?" Li Yan'er wiped her tears with her sleeves and looked at her pitifully.
"I'm angry with myself, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Aunt..." Li Yan'er looked at her in confusion.
Jincheng stood up, turned around and left. Li Yan'er stared at her beautiful back blankly, blending with the setting sun, as if she would disappear into the world at any time. At this moment, Jincheng suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Cui'er made snacks, I'll ask her to send some to you later."
"Aunt!" Li Yan'er cried and shouted.
But Jin Chengtou walked away without looking back.
She got on the carriage, and the carriage went straight northwest along Taijiuchi Lake. The huge Daming Palace is like a city of paradise, and the closest to the sky is the Sanqing Hall built on a high platform. The base of the platform is rectangular, more than ten feet high, just like a high city erected on the flat ground, seventy feet long from north to south and ten feet wide from east to west.
In the heaven on earth, the immortal palace.
"The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the shortcomings. If the way of man is not, it will be that the way of man is not enough to serve the excess. Who can have the excess to serve the world? Only the way..."
As he stepped on the high platform, Jincheng heard a vague Taoist Ching floating in, as if he was dreaming. At this time, a Taoist priest with eagle crown came over and said with a polite manner: "Princess Jincheng came to see the emperor?"
Jincheng replied, "I'm sorry to introduce the immortal Lu."
Jincheng often goes to and from the Sanqing Hall these days, and she recognizes the famous Taoist priests inside, and the old Taoist Lu Hongyi in front of her is also one of them.
So Taoist Lu took Jincheng into a large temple surrounded by smoke. There was a bronze tripod in the middle and blue smoke was emitted. More than a dozen Taoist priests were sitting cross-legged, listening to a young Taoist priest in the middle preaching.
Among these Taoist priests, one of them was the Supreme Emperor Li Dan. Now Li Dan was wearing a black robe and didn't look like a countryman. He was no different from the expressions and behaviors of the Taoist priests around him.
Jin Cheng walked gently to Li Dan, knelt on his side, looked at the Taoist priest who was preaching in the middle, and also sounded. Jin Cheng, the Taoist priest who spoke, also recognized it, and was named Zhang Guo (that is, Zhang Guo Lao). He looked very young, but "in fact" was too old to be old. He claimed that he was born in the Yao and Shun period, had lived for thousands of years, and had long been an immortal body.
The Supreme Emperor searched from many ways to find this person temporarily stayed in the Sanqing Palace and was practicing alchemy and preaching.
Zhang Guo half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "There are three ways to realize the truth, one is meditation, two is imitation, and three is experience. The three methods are the only way to meditate on the best, observe the changes of heaven and earth, examine the sun, moon and stars, and understand the supreme Taoism..."
He was just talking vigorously, but suddenly he saw many people distracted and secretly peeking at the new Princess Jincheng. This made Zhang Guo very unhappy, so he stopped the big talk and said with some annoyance: "Why do you think about it if you have distracting thoughts? Don't practice as soon as possible!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads. Jin Cheng couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth: "Whether according to immortal Zhang's opinion, what is the world?"
Zhang Guo Lao said: "The sky is round and the stars rise and fall in the morning at night, and the sun rises and falls in the evening."
Jincheng smiled and asked again: "How much is the radius of the sun and the moon?"
Zhang Guo Lao frowned and said, "The size of the plate is obvious at a glance."
Jincheng immediately said with a mocking expression: "The fire broke out in Daqin Temple on the previous month, and the raging fire was more than just a room wide? But from the Daming Palace, I only saw the fire as big as beans. The next day I realized that it was a fire... Therefore, the size lies in the distance. The mortals looked at the sun and the moon from afar, and it was the size of a plate. How big should the sun and the moon actually be?"
"This..." Zhang Guo's face had become very ugly, and she didn't know how to argue.
The Taoists immediately became interested in what Jincheng said and asked about the mystery. Even Li Dan was very interested and couldn't help but ask: "Has Jincheng understood something?"
Jincheng glanced at the young Taoist priest in the middle who claimed to have lived for thousands of years, and smiled and said, "I am just following the method of Xianren Zhang, to view the world, the sun and the moon, and to meditate on the Taoist Dharma. It's my whole family's words."
A Taoist priest asked, "What is heaven and earth?"
Jincheng pointed to a Bagua diagram on the bronze tripod and said, "Circle. Everything is a cycle of reincarnation, birth, old age, sickness and death, the sun rises and the moon falls, and they are all turning in circles."
