Chapter 181 Liu Kongyi and Dragon Carp (two in one)
The men and women at the gathering, plus Zhao Rong and his party, were about half in number, except for the girls in red clothes who were maids.
Zhao Rong held his sleeves and glanced around. He suddenly stopped somewhere by the stream and noticed a woman first.
This woman was wearing a Lanyuan green pleated skirt, a lazy bun with a butterfly in her hair, plump figure, and delicate appearance. She could be regarded as the best among the women present.
Like her Su Xiaoxiao, she has a pair of seductive fox eyes, but while Xiaoxiao is Qingmei, she is that kind of soft and charming.
But what really attracts Zhao Rong is not these, because in terms of beauty, according to his elegant taste, he still feels that his two ladies are better, especially regarding the beauty of women, Zhao Rong feels that compared to the appearance of
Charming, that kind of pure and charming taste hidden in your bones is even more wonderful. You only need to be patient to discover it. For example, on some nights when you were on the road before, when the two of you were alone in the room in the dead of night, the beauty below gently raised your hand.
First of all, the gleaming eyes that cast upward... are simply charming.
Therefore, what really caught Zhao Rong's attention was a smart thing next to this woman, which kept spinning around her body.
It was a fiery red carp, no, it was a dragon carp. Zhao Rong saw several magical dragon whiskers floating in the air.
But the strange thing is that this dragon carp does not seem to be a real thing, because the detailed scales and specific eyes cannot be seen. Its whole body exudes a hazy red color, like a ball of red ink splashed on paper, glowing in the dark night.
The fiery red dragon and carp seem to swim out of the ink painting of an immortal. It is a stroke of great charm. It circles around the woman as nimbly as a living creature. It is suspended in the air, swaying its tail lightly, swimming, as if
It's the same as in the water, but it's like swimming in the air with no support.
Zhao Rong looked at it curiously, which was a bit eye-opening, but at the same time he also felt familiar...
There was a familiar senior fellow from the academy beside Zhao Rong. When he saw him staring at the fairy, looking intently, he sighed softly, pushed Zhao Rong, and whispered: "Junior brother, don't look at anyone who is not polite, the senior brother said
Yes, we must observe etiquette."
"oh."
Zhao Rong withdrew his gaze and responded softly.
Seeing this, the academy brother thought about it and explained:
"That is Fairy Liu from Taiyi Mansion, her name is Kong Yi. I heard that she has a special physique and a deep connection with Taoism. She is a natural beauty for practicing Taoism, second only to those sword fairy embryos from Xiaoyao Mansion."
The senior brother sighed softly and said again:
"Unlike other fairies in Taiqing Mansion who devote themselves to cultivation, she often attends poetry gatherings between Taiqing Mansion and the academy. She is very famous among our academy scholars. I heard that many senior brothers want to kiss Fangze.
But let’s not think about such romantic matters, let’s listen to senior brother’s words, study hard, and concentrate on learning.”
He couldn't help but take a look: "And it seems that Senior Brother Du has been getting very close to Fairy Liu recently."
Zhao Rong nodded calmly and didn't care.
In front of the crowd, Ye Ruoxi, as the organizer of this elegant gathering, introduced both parties with a decent smile. However, for the academy, she only briefly introduced some people. The first ones must be Li Jinshu and Du Yifu, the two leading senior brothers.
Next are a few academicians who have reached Haoran Realm or even Tianzhi Realm, and there are also several scholars who are knowledgeable and experienced but have little cultivation.
This is because Linlu Academy is different from the four Taiqing mansions. The latter is closer to the ruthless mountain fairy family, and the status of fellow sects in the mansion is determined purely by cultivation and talent.
Linlu Academy pays more attention to the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and respects the pure pursuit of Taoism. It focuses on the cultivation of Confucian students, but it pays more attention to talent, learning and moral character. For example, Zhao Rong heard that there are several gentlemen in the academy.
Their cultivation level has not even reached the Haoran realm, but it does not affect their respect from the academicians.
What is sir?
"The master is the first, the teacher is the teacher."
Of course, it would be best if you have both the talent for enlightenment and the talent for cultivation. Otherwise, how can a mortal human being, who only has a lifespan of sixty years or sixty years, find the supreme path?
Zhao Rong stood behind, waiting quietly, thinking in his heart.
At a certain moment, his eyes scanned the entire audience.
The geniuses of the Taiqing Mansion, the academicians, and the carp girls who walked between the banquets with light steps.
Zhao Rong is now an academy student and a reserve academy scholar. Being in Duyou City, he can be said to be standing on a mountain. Although strictly speaking, his cultivation level has not yet reached Haoran Realm, and can only be regarded as half of Haoran Realm.
Mountain people.
But almost all of the people he has come into contact with so far are monks on the mountain, just like these people in front of him.
Zhao Rong exhaled softly and his eyes narrowed slightly.
According to his observations these days, although the monks on the mountain are all practicing, they are also different and can be divided into several categories.
Monks from hundreds of schools of thought, such as Confucianism, Mohism, and Taoism, are dedicated to practicing for the sake of the great way. Immortality is only incidental or a means to achieve the goal, because in most cases, the great way and cultivation can promote each other.
Many other monks on the mountain practice for the sake of longevity, which is exactly the opposite of the monks of hundreds of schools. The Tao becomes the process and means, and these monks are currently the mainstream of the world of mountain cultivation.
However, in addition to the monks of the Hundred Schools, there are also some monks who pursue their own path or practice for some kind of responsibility and mission. They pursue their own path and can only fight for resources to practice hard. They are similar to the monks of the Hundred Schools, but there are also differences, because
They must be strong, or in other words, in fact, the ancestors of various schools of thought were originally such monks.
For example, the Taoist ancestors, the sage masters, and the first generation giants of the Mohist school, etc., they overcame obstacles all the way and opened up their own small paths into the great roads of the world. They did not have the blessings left by their ancestors. They lived in an era that was not seen before or after the ancients.
The one who comes here is the first person in eternity on this road under his feet, so he can only move forward, move forward, move forward.
This is also the reason why the founders of each school are all great masters with towering cultivation, even at the historical pinnacle of their respective schools, and no descendants of the same discipline can surpass them.
And when their Dao School is established, a cohesive organization is formed, which can protect those future generations who are crazy about Dao but have no talent for cultivation, and allow mortals to have the qualifications to practice Dao, just like the respected few in Linlu Academy.
Mr. Mortal.
Zhao Rong sighed in his heart. At present, based on his cultivation qualifications, taking this path within the Confucian system is the best solution. However, Zhao Rong will not regard this path as his first choice.
If he practices out of curiosity and interest like he did in the beginning, then he is practicing in a Buddhist way, without worries, without being anxious or forcing anything.
But now not only did he have a great agreement with Gui, but the most important thing was that Zhao Rong also had a bond. He didn't want Qingjun to be widowed with Xiaoxiao.
Zhao Rong couldn't bear to leave them.
Xiaoxiao is a psychic demon clan. After developing the demon elixir, his lifespan can last for thousands of years.
Qingjun breaks through all the realms, and her lifespan keeps increasing. As long as she doesn't stay in a certain realm for too long, her appearance is almost permanent. When she reaches the seventh realm of sword cultivation, she can condense a glass-free body, making her immortal...
…
If this continues, when his face is gray and his hair is white, Qingjun and Xiaoxiao will still be young and beautiful...it's scary to think about it.
Although according to the character of these two silly girls, they will definitely stay with him until they grow old, and even try their best to find a life-extending medicine for him.
But Zhao Rong didn't want to. He was indifferent in life. After awakening the memory of his past life, it was equivalent to living a new life. He could not miss this mortal world, but he couldn't bear to be separated from his loved ones, leaving the woman he loved to remain a widow for the rest of his life.
, even doing stupid things.
For example, this stupid girl Su Xiaoxiao has read too many novels about gifted men and beautiful women, and her little brain is thinking about turning into a butterfly all day long. By the way, if you, a little fox demon, turned into a fart butterfly, can you mutate across races? Question
Have you passed your fox clan ancestors?
She told her no matter how many times, but she didn't listen. Every time she heard him tell the tragic stories in Liaozhai, she would wipe her tears with the back of her hand and say that she would transform into a butterfly with Zhao Lang in the future...
Zhao Rong was worried.
Not to mention Qingjun, in order to prolong his life against heaven, I wonder if he would do anything treacherous and unethical...
Nowadays, it is useless to think too much, and there is no other plan. Apart from studying, Zhao Rong can only collect resources and work hard to break through the situation.
As for the "One Source Theory of Body and Function" that he proposed for the first time in this world in the debate between Confucianism and Taoism, Lin Wenruo said that Zhao Rong could go to Jixia Academy to get a gift from heaven and earth. Even if Zhao Rong wanted to
, using the memory of past lives, you can also get more gifts from heaven and earth.
However, this broad road for monks from hundreds of schools of thought that once stood out to Zhao Rong was soon ruthlessly rejected. This is why he did not rush to Jixia Academy to receive the "experience gift package".
After all, with his ordinary physique, he is like a small narrow-mouthed bottle, and the gift of the great road in the place of enlightenment is like the water of the North Sea, no matter how much there is, even the smallest share of "Tao"
Gifts are not something that his little "bottle" can hold.
In short, Gui's conclusion is that Zhao Rong is too small, too thin, too short, and not enough to look at.
Currently, there is only one outcome for going to Jixia Academy, and that is to be suddenly overwhelmed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After Gui finished speaking, he exclaimed, "This is also a rare way to die. It is buried in the splendor of the Great Avenue of Heaven and Earth. Hey, why don't you, Mr. Zhao, give it a try? Let me gain knowledge. I guarantee it will be better than setting off fireworks in the Qin Mansion."
It's cool...
At this time, Zhao Rong once again thought of this unreliable poison-tongued sword spirit. Zhao Rong's teeth were itching. He didn't know how long it would take to wake up. He hadn't yet settled the matter with it for Li Ji Jian Wan, but it was okay, it couldn't run away.
of……
Zhao Rong's current top priority is to advance to the Fuyao Realm as soon as possible, so that he can play more of his role as a returnee. In the Dengtian Realm, he makes excuses saying it is too simple and cannot be taught. It depends on what you say in the Fuyao Realm. Then he will be able to play his role more.
There are new exercises to practice.
And the most important thing is that Gui promised that Fuyao Realm can start looking for those anti-path magic medicines that can help him improve his physical condition. Zhao Rong can already take them, opening up the natural dead end of this body's promotion to Haoran Realm.
This is also the only way for him to break through the shackles of this useless body. If he can collect some legendary materials, refine the several anti-path magic medicines that Gui mentioned, and be lucky enough to take them, then he will be able to
The sea and the sky are vast, the road is unrestricted, and it is soaring...
Zhao Rong was thinking a lot, so the most important thing at the moment was how to open up the Great Heaven in the body, break through the Zhenyi period, and enter the Fuyao state of thinking hard and nightly.
The Qinan agarwood gifted by Lin Wenruo had been used up a few days ago. His practice speed in the past few nights suddenly slowed down, and his efficiency was reduced several times. This made Zhao Rong extremely uncomfortable, just like he was used to running wildly on Kangzhuang Avenue all the way.
Suddenly he was forced to turn onto a muddy mountain road with many potholes and continue running... stumbling along at a slow pace.
Top level auxiliary items like Qinan Agarwood are rare. Zhao Rong has used up the Lanxi Lin family’s stock in the past 20 years. Now he has to find other auxiliary items first. If he practices hard with his head covered, water will penetrate the earth.
Being slow is not an option.
Zhao Rong let out a breath of turbidity in his chest and decided that after this gathering, he would find an opportunity to go to Duyou City and look carefully for other auxiliary items in the Xianjia market...
He was alone in the back, wandering around, not knowing where his mind was going, thinking about what would happen after the gathering. Anyway, this gathering was just brought in by the senior brother to support the occasion, and he would leave after it was over.
However, at the gathering at this moment, less than half a quarter of an hour had passed. Ye Ruoxi in the front had almost finished introducing the attendees. Of course, there was nothing wrong with Zhao Rong. He was just mixed in the crowd and was greeted by the words "Li
"Young Master's junior fellow apprentices" were taught to me, um, they were even praised as "all of them are the pillars of the academy".
At this moment, Ye Ruoxi turned her head and smiled at a woman by the Nuan River not far away:
"Who is this? I don't need to elaborate. All the men in your academy should know each other. Junior sister Kongyi, why are you sitting alone and not talking? Is there anything bothering you? You can tell us, we
Let me give you some advice."
Liu Kongyi sat by the stream, stretched out a hand, and stroked the stream with his fingers.
She was staring at the red carp swimming in the warm stream in a daze. When she heard the words, she slowly raised her head and looked away from the stream, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
Liu Kongyi broke away from his thoughts and smiled at everyone: "It's okay. Thank you, Senior Sister Ruoxi, for your concern."
At this time, a red dragon carp appeared in the stream beside her. It did not create any waves when it came out of the water.
The red dragon carp floated in the air and circled around Liu Kongyi, then continued to dive into the clear warm stream, and actually started to play in circles with the live carp.
Many people were curious.
Ye Ruoxi asked: "Junior sister Kongyi, what is this? It's so mysterious."
Liu Kongyi looked around. Except for stopping for a moment on a man who lowered his head to read a book, he mostly glanced at him. She said with a hint of confusion: "It's nothing, just a little gadget that I happened to get not long ago."
Seeing that Liu Kong refused to say anything, Ye Ruoxi didn't ask any more questions and turned around to introduce the remaining people.
Liu Kongyi noticed that many men were staring at her at the gathering, but Liu Kongyi didn't pay attention. She had long been used to it. She only glanced at Li Jinshu for the Confucian scholars who had just arrived. The other academicians
Son, don’t pay too much attention.
She suddenly tilted her head and smiled softly at Du Yifu, who was sitting not far away and looked at her frequently.
The latter's face suddenly brightened up and he smiled brightly.
It was a pity that before he could make the next move, Liu Kongyi looked away and stopped looking at him. However, Du Yifu was not depressed, he just felt that his relationship with Fairy Liu was getting closer.
These days, they often attend literary gatherings together. Fairy Liu likes poetry, and they often talk. Du Yifu feels that the two of them are very familiar with each other, although Fairy Liu sometimes still feels distant.
However, Du Yifu felt that with his talent and knowledge, he would one day be able to win over this fairy who had made many academicians fall into disgrace.
Liu Kongyi withdrew her gaze boredly and continued to look at the carp in the stream. She continued to think about the poem she had filled out a few days ago. She revised it over and over again, but was still not satisfied. She frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel dumb again.
