Chapter 254: The sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and virtue is the way (4k)
Can you detect my semi-invisible state? Zhao Qing thought slightly, knowing that when he was simulating the "Eternal Eternal Spring Kung" to access the valley's vitality network, he was noticed by the valley owner who was equivalent to the network administrator. p>
Judging from the harmonious life of the residents in the valley and the invitation of these two girls, the owner of the valley here should be a person with a gentle personality and has no malicious intentions.
So, she lifted the concealment effect around her, revealed herself, and followed the two of them toward the open door of a stone house by the pool.
After entering the door, Zhao Qing's eyes lit up. He saw that the furniture and decorations inside the stone house were arranged in an orderly manner. They were all made of pine and cypress wood. They were made with excellent craftsmanship and gave people a durable and comfortable feeling. There were also several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which were elegant and elegant.
Refined and profoundly interesting.
Feeling the exquisite and natural beauty of the house, her heart moved slightly. She realized that the style of living here was very different from that of the Naxi people outside. Instead, it had the charm of the elegant people in the Central Plains, and she couldn't help but think deeply. p>
After passing through two compartments inward, Zhao Qing saw a protruding rock on the ground, which was directly connected to the mountain under the stone house. On the front were carved the words "Eternal Spring Valley", which were integrated with the rock.
, and inseparable, just like the original lines on the stone surface.
On the back of the rock, there is a hollow, with spring water gurgling out of it, and a stone niche standing with nothing in it. This is probably where the "divine book" was placed in the valley in the past.
Going around the rock, there were several steps leading up, and a simple wooden door at the end of the road. Two girls were standing outside, signaling her to push it open.
Zhao Qing walked calmly inside, and the door opened without any wind. He saw the immortal Changchun Valley Master who was leaning in front of a table in the room, holding a brush in his hand and writing on the paper. He used the brush with the right priorities.
, where the tip of the pen reaches, there is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and when the pen reaches it, the intention is there.
It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a light yellow shirt. She had a delicate complexion, crystal white, her eyes were clear and sparkling, there was a dimple at the corner of her mouth, and a faint smile. p>
As if she sensed Zhao Qing's arrival, she gently put down the last few strokes, reached out and took a seal next to her and stamped it on the paper. She soaked the brush in clean water and placed it on the edge of the inkstone. She raised her head slightly and looked at the visitor.
.
After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Zhao Qing was slightly surprised. This valley owner looked almost exactly the same as Wang Yuyan. It shouldn't be Li Qiushui, but Li Qiushui's little sister, Li Qingning?
"Zhuangzi·Zhile" says: "The sky is pure without action, and the earth is peaceful with nothing, so the two inactions are combined, and all things are transformed."
"Laozi" also says: "In the past, those who achieved one were: the sky was clear, the earth was peaceful, the gods were spiritual, the grains were full, all things were alive, and the kings were able to make the world right.
, it’s the end.”
Looking at her posture and movements, every move of Li Qingning carries a pure and peaceful Taoist charm, as if caressing everyone's soul. She is so profound that she is indeed worthy of her name.

It seems that the other party did not die of old age because he had not practiced martial arts as he had guessed before. Instead, he got the guidance of Xiaoyaozi and came to this immortal Changchun Valley early. Not only did he stay young for a long time, he also became a master.
The respected valley owner here.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart and looked at a poem he had just written on the table. He saw it was a poem called "Tongbai Chongtao Temple", which said:
The heart of the wonderful road seeks for the red water, and the scenery of the horse is allowed to flow. Towards the true pure world, the Qiongtai moon, the body thinks of the fresh jade and the autumn. The fragrance of the rhizome and the dew are scattered, the tea is boiled and the green clouds are floating. I can remember the glory of the laborer.
, Shiqing hd pillow upstream.
The handwriting is beautiful and neat, yet elegant and natural, with both form and spirit. It has a quiet and inactive meaning, which reveals Li Qingning's superb attainments in calligraphy.
Is Tongbai a Taoist temple? Zhao Qing knew that this should be the ancestral home of the southern Taoist sect, located in Tiantai Mountain. It was first established by Sun Quan and Ge Xuan. During the Jingyun period of Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, he ordered Sima Chengzhen to build a temple, and Tongbai temple began to exist.
It was named Tongbai Chongdao Temple during the Dazhong Xiangfu reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty.
Today's Tongbai Taoist temple, the founder of Quanzhen Taoist Southern Sect, and Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan should have only passed away a few years ago, but it is already quite prosperous, no less than in the Tang Dynasty.
By the way, part of Xiaoyaozi's inheritance comes from Sima Chengzhen. Maybe it was obtained from this temple?
While Zhao Qing was deep in thought, Li Qingning supported his pretty chin with his hands and said with a smile: "This poem was written by my father when he visited the quiet room where his grandfather lived as a monk and visited the scenic spots on the rooftop. Qiongtai Night
The moon, the jade and the clear autumn, are ultimately nothing more than a dream of yellow beams, fleeting."
"Zhuangzi said: 'Between heaven and earth in life, if a white colt passes by a horse, it will happen suddenly.' I deeply believed this, so I only learned 'playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and camellia' from my master. This woman's eight elegances have never been practiced.
Taoist martial arts."
Having said this, she took the initiative to get up, took a can of tea not far away, lit a charcoal stove, and prepared to make tea and entertain guests.
Looking at Li Qingning's skillful techniques and elegant movements, Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly. He carefully studied what the other party had just said and realized that Tongbai Chong Taoist Temple was the place where the sweeping monk once became a monk.
At the same time, she sensed the aura on Li Qingning's body and guessed his state of cultivation after being nourished in the Eternal Spring Valley, as well as her purpose.
After a while, when the water boiled, Li Qingning poured it over several times, poured out two bowls of good tea, and handed one bowl to Zhao Qing, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
After silently sipping the tea for a few sips, Li Qingning suddenly said: "The situation in the Immortal Changchun Valley is in line with the Taoist tenet of 'governing by inaction' and 'a small country with few people'. Coupled with the difference in the yin and yang geomagnetism in the valley, this strange phenomenon has just occurred."
The incomparable spiritual network realm."
"Lao Tzu has a saying: 'The food you eat is pleasant, the clothes you wear are beautiful, the place you live is comfortable, and the customs are happy. Neighbors look at each other, hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, and the people will not interact with each other until they grow old and die.'"
"In such a worldly resort, a paradise on earth, everyone's mind becomes peaceful and tranquil, forgetting all disputes, and reaches the ultimate state of 'the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and everything flows smoothly'."
"Back then, my master accidentally visited this place, realized the wonders of nature in the world, got a sacred book left by Lu Zu, and left. More than two hundred years have passed quietly, but I don't know what he is doing now."
Knowing that the Immortal Changchun Valley is isolated from the world and has no news from the outside world, Zhao Qing took the initiative to inform her of the major events that have occurred in the outside world in recent years, including the sweeping monk who has entered Buddhism from Taoism and lived in seclusion in the Shaolin Temple, and Xiaoyaozi is about to achieve Taoism and ascend in the near future.<
/p>
Hearing that Zhao Qing had competed with the sweeping monk and Xiaoyaozi, Li Qingning's eyes showed a curious light, smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Zhao, since you want to understand the Taoist charm of the Immortal Changchun Valley, you might as well come with me
I also tried a few tricks to experience the secrets for myself."
"Okay." Zhao Qing nodded and agreed.
Li Qingning had only been in the valley for sixty or seventy years. He was still young in the Immortal Changchun Valley and had never specialized in martial arts. He could become the owner of the valley here because he had managed to improve the lives of the people in the valley and understood the true mysteries of the valley. Although the "Eternal Age Gong" also relies on the vitality network to run on its own, there are differences in qualifications between people, and there are differences in mind and innate meridians.
In Zhao Qing's induction, the skill contained in the other party's body was far superior to that of every Naxi tribesman he had encountered before, comparable to the level of "sympathy between heaven and man".
Coupled with Li Qingning's outstanding talents and her mental state that is almost in harmony with the Tao, as long as she is in this valley, she can be said to be a great master-level figure in the world, and her combat power is even more amazing. Seeing that Zhao Qingying agreed to discuss the matter, Li Qingning stood up slowly, cleaned two tea bowls, and tidied the table for a while.
Then, she opened a downward passage in the house, walked to an open stone cave under the stone house, put away the chess pieces on a stone table in the cave, turned around, and said calmly: "
Miss Zhao, will you make the first move?"
In Zhao Qing's induction, the giant aura of the Eternal Eternal Spring Valley, which was more than ten kilometers in radius, slowly shrank inward. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed towards this underground cave, turning into thousands of fine strands of vitality, converging on Li Qingning's body.
Within a few feet of the body.
They flowed rapidly in a mysterious trajectory, weaving together, emitting a faint glimmer of light, as if covering her with a sacred veil.
In an instant, the world seemed to come alive, with a life of its own, or in other words, it became an extension of Li Qingning's body in the outside world, with its own heartbeat and breathing, which was extremely strange.
There are thousands of people in the Immortal Changchun Valley, with the average age of each person being more than a hundred years old. They have been drinking Changchun spring water since they were young, and they have accumulated internal strength. All added together, it is equivalent to the majestic power of hundreds of thousands of years, and the total amount has reached an appalling level.
Even if Li Qingning can only activate 10% of the power, the power is so powerful that no master in the world can resist it.
Zhao Qing understood this truth and maximized the telepathy in his mind. After the other party constructed the body-protecting gauze, he finally had a profound understanding of the overall structure of the vitality network of the Eternal Spring Valley.
I saw the colorful lightsaber at her waist suddenly unsheathed, creating thousands of complicated sword lights, like a piece of cold moonlight falling down, melting into the depths of every viewer's heart.
Each sword light is aimed at one of the threads that conveys power, trying to cut it and cut it off. The strength is mastered to an extremely fine level, with almost no leakage, and will never affect the environment and furnishings of the cave.
Cause damage.
Sensing Zhao Qing's highly targeted offensive, Li Qingning, who had no experience in fighting, didn't know how to crack it, but he didn't show any panic. Instead, he smiled at her and walked out gracefully without dodging.
Refers to.
In an instant, Zhao Qing suddenly realized that the entire cave and the Eternal Spring Valley had completely disappeared. Only she and Li Qingning were left in the world. The latter was pointing towards her, as if they were very far away, but yet they seemed close.
In front of you.
Suddenly, she seemed to be touched by some indescribable emotion in her heart, like a wanderer returning to his hometown or a seeker suddenly entering the fairyland. She felt a sudden sense of alienation around her, and the space was no longer real, as if it had turned into a dream.
world.
Because Zhao Qing's sword light slashed at the vitality thread, he relied on mental induction to confirm the specific position, and locked the most vulnerable point where the thread was constantly changing and moving. At this moment, he lost his target, and immediately dissipated, and he was about to be protected by the opponent.
The body is covered with gauze.
At the same time, thousands of images of Li Qingning suddenly appeared in this dream-like world, with different expressions, costumes, and movements, thousands of people with thousands of faces, like a dream, and elusive.
Every Li Qingning among them fired a finger simultaneously, and the attack was overwhelming and almost impossible to resist.
In a small country with few people, "although there are armored soldiers, there is nothing to show for it", but in order to prevent possible invasion from the outside world, some armored soldiers must be prepared after all.
This move, "Thousand Illusions, Thousand Faces, Thousand Tribulation Technique", is a method she created to protect herself against the enemy after decades of understanding the changes in people's hearts and the world. With the addition of the vitality network, it is incredibly powerful.<
/p>
However, faced with such an unimaginable dangerous situation, Zhao Qing did not dodge like Li Qingning, nor did he pull out the crape myrtle soft sword containing strange energy to defend, he just smiled indifferently.
The next moment, thousands of Li Qingning's phantoms and the dreamlike world suddenly dissipated. The overwhelming finger power invaded within five feet of her body, but revealed a tulle made of vitality silk threads.
It was easily blocked out.
It turned out that after witnessing the other party's personal audition, coupled with the previous induction experience of simulating the "Eternal Life Kung Fu", Zhao Qing took the initiative to fall into the illusion created by the other party in this moment. From the inside out, he realized what he was like.
Li Qingning’s method of mobilizing the vitality network of the Everlasting Valley.
Relying on her more advanced realm cultivation, she instantly seized most of the authority that originally belonged to Li Qingning. She mainly turned against customers and had an absolute advantage in strength, moves, and experience. It can be said that she won the victory in advance.
The two people's movements stopped suddenly, obviously they both understood the current situation.
Looking at Li Qingning who looked a little stunned, Zhao Qing smiled slightly and expressed his understanding of the mystery of the Eternal Spring Valley:
"Zhuangzi said: 'Things that are not divided into forms are brought into being, which is called virtue. The harmony of yin and yang and qi, which constitute my body, is the way of earth.' The secret of using the body to control the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth lies in
The heart also cares about virtue."
"Virtue is the use of Tao, Tao is the body of virtue, and it is the source of all things. Creation has things to do and things not to do. The ultimate virtue is inaction and everything. If you want to nurture the way of heaven and earth, you must work hard on the aspect of 'virtue'. This is
This is also the principle explained in the Tao Te Ching written by Laozi."
In her perception, "De", as the external manifestation of "Tao", is also a principle that every practitioner should study and must not be ignored. Only "to carry the Tao with virtue, and to control virtue with Tao"
"Only in this way can we reach the state of "the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful, and all things live smoothly".
It was precisely because of Li Qingning's personal demonstration that he realized the "virtue" of "a small country and few people" and "inaction" in the Everlasting Spring Valley, that Zhao Qing was able to control part of the power of the vitality network in the valley.
She just didn't know where her own "Tao" and "Virtue" were? And how to truly understand them? She thought secretly in her heart, gradually improving her ideas and direction of pursuing virtue and cultivating Tao.
After hearing Zhao Qing's words, Li Qingning also felt enlightened. Knowing that the other party had fully realized the results of his decades of cultivation in such a short period of time, he couldn't help but marvel, and realized firsthand that he could not rely on external forces.
……
Ten days later, near a valley outside Xiangyang City, Zhao Qing was thinking about ways to integrate the previous gains in the Everlasting Spring Valley into the "Wanxiang Haoxu Gong" while searching for the location of Dugu Qiubai's seclusion.<
/p>
In the past few days, she had not found a Bodhisattva snake with a shiny golden body and horns on its head nearby. It was quite difficult to find Dugu Qiubai.
That night, Zhao Qing climbed to the top of a nearby hill and looked around. Suddenly he heard a wail coming from a very far distance. The sound was slightly hoarse, but it was intense and desolate, and the momentum was very powerful.
Is it the scream of a god? Her thoughts moved slightly, and she immediately rushed towards the direction of the sound.
