Beginning to become a saint from the path of time and fruit

The West Lake is beautiful for a short boat trip, with green water and long embankments of fragrant grass.

The glassy surface of the windless water surface is smooth, and you can't feel the boat moving and ripples slightly.

…

The slanting light shines on the lake, and the ripples are light, causing the golden light to crush.

On the small boat floating in the clear water lake, there is a young man in white, with wide sleeves and a sword, smooth hair shawl, and a look in the center of his eyebrows like waves. Behind him, countless exploding waters from the West Lake condense into a water figure, reflecting the setting sun. Brilliance, inner spiritual fluctuations!

A smile appeared on the corner of Anle's lips, and her hair could not help but float slightly under the power of the spreading mind. The green mountains around her waist hummed softly, and the ink pool whizzed across the lake surface, tearing apart thin ripples.

The third realm of refining the gods is a realm that transcends the mundane world and distances itself from ordinary people.

The fourth level is the Yuan Shen. You can refine your mind to gather the Yuan Shen, and you can live for three hundred years. The Yuan Shen can leave the physical body and travel in the universe. You can go up to the sky to catch the moon, go down to the water to find fish, and you can control extraordinary power. It is truly extraordinary. .

The gap between the third and fourth realms of refining the gods is naturally huge, even greater than the gap between fetal breath and transcendence.

Because the condensation of the soul is a qualitative change.

It is the beginning of a mind with extraordinary killing power.

Having the power of the mind after the soul is equivalent to having a backbone and a center of convergence. It is more condensed and powerful than the otherworldly mind.

For example, Anle can explode the water of the West Lake. When it falls, it is controlled by the soul and mind, and it condenses into a human form in extremely subtle ways.

This is something that a refined mind can't do. A refined mind can allow peace and happiness to be focused on the sword, and it can be used to control the sword roughly, but it is simply unable to control it with such ease and detail.

In terms of control, the Yuanshen mind is like a body organ, like an arm.

This is the function of gathering the soul, just like the human brain, to coordinate and control the power of the mind.

With a crashing sound, the Dharma of the West Lake gathered behind Anle suddenly fell, like a downpour, hitting the water. The roaring sound was deafening, like a waterfall falling, startling a group of gulls and herons.

A shadow of Yuan Shen floats into the sky. He closes his eyes peacefully on the boat. His mind is connected with Yuan Shen, as if he has obtained an incarnation. He has the perspective of Yuan Shen, and he can see the lakes and mountains as far as he can see.

This kind of scenery is so beautiful that people can't help but marvel at it.

The soul fell down and entered the lake. It was invisible and had no substance. It did not cause any waves, but the scenery in the water was still visible.

The soul kept falling, falling to the bottom of the lake.

An Le's Yuan Shen was suddenly startled when he saw that there was an ancient well at the bottom of the lake. There were chains one after another entangled with each other on top of the ancient well. A golden pestle was placed on the many chains at the mouth of the well, sealing the mouth of the well.

The soul floated past, his sleeves fluttering, and his gaze fell into the well.

Suddenly, a majestic demonic energy was released from the well. The rushing chains made a violent impact, and an invisible energy spread, causing an undercurrent to surge at the bottom of the lake!

A low roar came from the well.

The golden pestle stick placed on the wellhead suddenly radiated light, and Buddhist and Sanskrit words emerged one after another, suppressing the majestic evil energy that had surged out again.

But there was also a bit of demonic energy flowing out, attacking Anle's soul.

Anle Yuanshen frowned slightly and looked at the ancient well at the bottom of the lake with a strange look in his eyes.

There is no doubt that a big demon is sealed and imprisoned in this ancient well. With such a strong demonic energy, it is assumed that the cultivation level of this big demon is definitely not weak.

"Thousand-year-old snake demon?"

Anle read "On Demons" by the great scholar Ning Chen and learned that under the legendary West Lake, there was a thousand-year-old snake demon that was suppressed by the monks of Lianhua Temple, one of the three major Buddhist temples.

According to legend, the snake demon lover even gave birth to a child, but he was hated by the passing monk of Lianhua Temple, who sealed and suppressed him.

Now it seems that there should be no nonsense in "The Theory of Demons".

Facing the sweeping demonic energy, Anle's soul suddenly burst into light, and the sword energy was faintly intertwined. The soul obtained by imagining the sword waterfall already had sword energy. m

There is a sword embryo condensed in the Niwan Palace, which is the Heart Sword Sword Embryo, which is a highly concentrated form of the power of the mind.

It is entangled with the sword energy of its own soul.

However, to An Le's expectation, the demonic energy surged in front of him and turned into a winding little snake, swaying the lake water slightly and making a soft sound.

"Young Master, please don't be anxious, Young Master, the slave family is not willing to fight with Young Master."

Anle's Yuanshen looked at this wisp of evil spirit indifferently.

"The slave family has not seen the soul of the world for a long time. It is rare to see it. I specially penetrated the original demonic energy. I would like to ask the young master for help."

The demonic energy was turbulent, causing sounds to echo.

Anle Yuanshen was wearing white clothes with wide sleeves, but he shook his head: "I have just condensed Yuanshen, and my strength is low, so I can't help you."

"No, no, the slave family does not ask for the master's help to get out of trouble, and the slave family does not ask for help to get out of trouble. However, there is something that I want to ask for the master's help."

The demonic voice was pleading.

Anle's soul did not retreat immediately, but looked at the lingering evil spirit and said, "Let's talk."

"The slave family gave birth to a son. I haven't seen him since he was born. I miss him very much. I beg you...Young master, please help the slave family to find the child so that the slave family can meet him, just once."

"I don't dare to ask for too much. I just want to see if the child is doing well, whether he has enough food and clothing, and whether he can live happily..."

The demon's words were full of pleading, full of longing and hope.

When An Le heard this, his soul moved slightly. As a mother, she always places her heart on her child. Even if she is sealed at the bottom of the West Lake, she still wants to see her child, just to see if the child is doing well.

"How am I supposed to judge your child?"

Anle asked.

"This wisp of demon energy uses the power of the demon elixir for the slave family to break the seal of the monk Duhai of Lianhua Temple. The origin of the demon is gathered into demon jade, which can accompany the young master. On weekdays, the young master But if you use the demon energy to temper your body, if you find my child, the demon jade will respond. That is the connection between blood. "

Yao Qi said.

"Young Master has the smell of demonic energy on his body, and there are also ancient demonic phenomena floating in his soul. The method he practices may be related to the demonic aura tempering the body. Therefore, this demon jade originates from the young master and is beneficial but not harmful."

The demonic voice begged more and more.

Perhaps, it was because he sensed the vision of the ancient demon in Anle Yuanshen and felt that Anle was not like the kind of demon subduing person who has a prejudice against demons. Therefore, the big demon sealed in the bottom of the West Lake will do whatever it takes, even if he loses money. The origin also wants to send out a wisp of evil spirit to beg for happiness.

The demonic energy surged and turned into a round jade pendant that looked like a coiled snake.

Having just consumed the ancient demon quenching jade, and now getting another demon source jade, Anle didn't know what to say.

However, looking at this demon source jade and listening to the sealed snake demon in my ears, I longed to see my son, the most simple plea as a mother.

Anle never refused.

But he said: "Aren't you worried that I will hold the jade but not help?"

There was a voice from the ancient well: "The Nu family can sense that there is a great power in the master's soul. Those who have achieved great power... will not break their promises."

When Anle heard this, he immediately smiled.

The power of the soul spread out and enveloped the Demon Source Baoyu.

"The world is so vast, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find it. I can only say that I will try my best."

An Le said.

"That's enough, that's enough. Just think about it and I'll be satisfied. Thank you, Master."

"If the fate comes, I can certainly find it. Maybe the son of the slave family is dead..."

"If I can see the child, it will be a great favor to the slave family. If the seal can be broken, the slave family is willing to listen to the master's orders for a hundred years."

In the sealed ancient well, the snake demon's grateful and joyful words floated out.

Through the seal on the ancient well, Anle's soul seemed to be able to see a woman kneeling on the ground in the ancient well, crying and kowtowing to him.

On the ancient well, the golden pestle staff flashed with golden light, and the magnificent Buddha's intention surged. The big demon in the well suddenly screamed in pain, seemed to fly out, and hit the bottom of the well hard.

Anle frowned slightly, said nothing more, and bowed with his fists.

"You don't need to be like this, I'm just helping a mother who misses her child."

The words fell, and the peace and happiness no longer stayed.

He rushed out of the lake bottom with the Demon Source Baoyu, and the soul returned to the sword furnace in Niwan Palace.

On the boat, Anle opened his eyes, and an ancient jade suddenly floated in front of him, exuding pure evil spirit and making him confused.

On the boat, Fairy Yunrou was startled when she finished playing the piano.

"Mr. An, this is..."

Yunrou was a little confused. After Anle's Yuan Shen traveled around for a while, he actually brought back a demon jade?

The demonic energy in this jade pendant was very pure. As soon as she felt it, she felt that it was not ordinary. At least it was the demonic energy that could only be condensed from the origin of a thousand-year-old demon.

An Le's mind moved, and the awe-inspiring sword energy emerged from his body, as if a burst of radiance shone on the demon jade.

However, Yaoyu remained indifferent and did not melt at all.

Haoran's sword energy can illuminate all evil thoughts. If the snake demon sealed at the bottom of the lake has any evil thoughts, it will naturally be killed by Haoran's sword energy.

But now it seems that the snake demon is just a mother who wants to see her own flesh and blood. There is no dark thought hidden in this demon jade.

Grabbing the demon jade and wearing it around your waist, An Le looked calm.

The traces of pure demonic energy permeating the demonic jade are vaguely absorbed by the ancient demonic scriptures on Anle's body, silently tempering the body.

"It's just the plea of ​​a mother who wants to see her child."

Anle said to Fairy Yunrou.

He briefly described what he saw at the bottom of the lake.

Fairy Yunrou was silent for a moment and said with emotion: "The teacher once said that there is a thousand-year-old monster sealed under the West Lake. It is extremely powerful. Unfortunately, she met the eminent monk of Lianhua Temple when she was giving birth. The child was severely injured and sealed when he was weak after giving birth. At the bottom of the lake, as for the child... the teacher never said that the young master might go to the mountains to ask the teacher. "

Hearing this, Anle nodded.

"The three major Buddhist temples in the world are Lanke Temple, which is closest to Lin'an Prefecture, Ganye Temple, which is located in the middle of the country, and Lianhua Temple, which is rich in demon subduing masters..."

"Most of the monks in Lianhua Temple regard themselves as demon subduing masters, specializing in subduing demons and refining demons. They are indistinguishable from good to bad, and their actions are quite controversial."

Fairy Yunrou said, she followed the Sixth Mountain Master to practice, so she knew some secrets of the world.

At least, you need to know more than the peace and joy of just starting to practice.

"Congratulations to Mr. An for reaching the fourth level of spiritual refining and condensing his soul. You are truly a spiritual genius... Yunrou still remembers that when you first met Mr. An, he was just starting to practice."

Yunrou said with a smile, turning back to the topic, with complexity and wonder in her eyes.

There is even a hint of melancholy: when will her worldly path be revealed, and when will she be able to continue to break the mirror?

Anle smiled, bathed in the sunset, and chatted with Fairy Yunrou while boating on the lake.

When the stars and the moon were shining brightly, Anle bought another portion of Eight-treasure Crispy Chicken and a portion of Palace Royal Wine Drunken Liuxia, and then returned to the small courtyard leisurely.

A big incident was caused in Lin'an Mansion today, but Anle didn't care at all. Just as Cao Fu thought, writing poetry was just a weapon. It was Anle's way of proving his innocence, and it was also a weapon used to slap Qin Xiang in the face.

Even if he offends Prime Minister Qin, he doesn't care about An Le. The pure will be pure and have a clear conscience.

Back in the courtyard, the old man from the Imperial Ancestral Temple was not waiting for him. He drank wine and ate Babao chicken in peace and contentment. After the meal, he did not slack off in his practice because he had just stepped into the soul.

Sit cross-legged and visualize the "Sword Waterfall Picture". As the top spiritual refining method taught by Madam Hua, it naturally has a way to consolidate the soul.

The green hills and ink pools inserted into the old locust trees trembled slightly, causing the leaves of the old locust trees to rustle as well.

The figure in the courtyard is bathed in the starlight falling behind the clouds, and his mind is spreading bit by bit.

…

…

Qin Xiangfu.

The atmosphere was dull and depressing.

In the study room.

Prime Minister Qin Lishi was sitting on a chair with a stern face and said nothing.

Inside the room, Qin Qianqiu was sitting on a chair, covering his face with his hands, his hair falling between his fingers, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Father, I want to kill him, I must kill him!"

The low voice, even with a hint of crying, lingered in the study.

Qin Lishi looked at the appearance of his beloved little son, and his clenched teeth trembled slightly.

Seeing Qin Qianqiu's eyes, Qin Lishi suddenly felt regretful. Perhaps, he should not have let Qin Qianqiu go outside the house, but should have let Qin Hua'an go.

With Qin Huaan's strength, Anle's Haoran sword energy may not be able to hurt him.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Qin Qianqiu was devastated. Now that he has fallen to the point of death, he may never be able to return to the world again in this life.

For Qin Qianqiu, who did not have much talent in cultivation, this incident was a huge blow. Originally, Qin Lishi wanted to get some heavenly and earthly treasures to help Qin Qianqiu condense his soul.

If you condense your soul, you can live for three hundred years. If your life span is extended, the time you can spend with him can also be extended.

Now, having lost this opportunity, his mind is at a loss, and it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to return to the secular world. It cannot be solved by the treasures of heaven and earth. Qin Qianqiu needs to overcome the obstacles in his heart and break through.

But if Qin Qianqiu had this kind of character, it would be impossible for him to achieve such a level of cultivation.

"Kill? Do you think Anle is still a small person? No longer, he has stood up. When he was weak, you never killed him. Now you want to kill him, the price is too high."

Qin Lishi sighed.

He stood up and walked slowly to the window. An old voice lingered in the study: "Let's not talk about the Lin family. The Lin family has a feud with our Qin family. If the Lin family is standing behind him, it will not matter."

"But now he can't say that he cheated in the imperial examination, which means that he will definitely be on the top list of Jinshi, and he will be at the forefront. I have read his papers, except for the Northern Expedition question, which is not in line with my question. No points will be given. Except, all other questions are answered correctly.”

"Relying on the scores of other questions alone, he can be on the A list. In the test of cultivation, he beat the Confucian scholars on the Wenqu list. He asked Xinlin for a moment, and he was ranked first. Add this together, he may be on the A list. The attitude of being at the top of the list, I will try it when I step in front of the palace!”

"How dare you kill someone who is number one on the A-list at this critical moment?"

Qin Lishi looked at Qin Qianqiu and said.

"In addition, there is Wenyuan behind Anle. Today he has attracted a lot of attention. Wenyuan will no longer sit idly by and ignore him. They will even hold him as a treasure in their hands and beg him to join Wenyuan."

"But these are not the things that scare me the most."

Qin Lishi shook his head.

Qin Qianqiu, who was covering his face, raised his head. His face was full of tears, full of ferocity, and full of murderous intent. He looked at Qin Lishi in confusion: "What other trump cards does he have?!"

Qin Lishi said: "Today, there was someone laughing wantonly in front of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion. His laughter was full of sarcasm and ridicule. Do you know who that person is?"

"There are not many people in this world who dare to laugh at me, Qin Li Shi, so unscrupulously."

"Can you see the broken bamboo sword that Anle wears on his waist?"

Qin Lishi's words made Qin Qianqiu confused. He stood up, grabbed his hair, and said with a bit of madness: "I don't care, I want to kill him, father, I want to kill him!"

"I can't kill him! At least I can't kill him now!"

Qin Lishi shouted sharply, which made Qin Qianqiu tremble all over and fall down on the chair. The awe of his father emerged again at this moment.

"I have become a joke to Quan Lin'an. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to calm down."

Qin Qianqiu covered his face, his body twitched slightly, and whispered.

"The owner of that broken bamboo sword is named Zhao Huangting. He is an old uncle of the Zhao royal family. During the battle of Zhao Nanqian, he once wielded the sword against the ruthless man who killed Emperor Yuanmeng!"

Qin Lishi said in a low voice: "A person who is not far from the end, but is extremely powerful and ignores the rules!"

"Don't mess with people like this!"

Qin Qianqiu sat slumped in the chair, filled with dissatisfaction: "Why does that guy who came from the remote countryside of Chongzhou win the favor of such a person?!"

"So, endure it. Those who succeed must endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Forbearance is a kind of ability. Zhao Huangting's end is approaching. He cannot protect An Le for too long. When the trial in front of the palace is over, the Lin Mansion will be completely lonely. That An Le The shelter behind you will wither like the petals of a flower."

"At that time, it will be easier to deal with him."

Qin Lishi walked to Qin Qianqiu's side, raised his hand and caressed the head of his beloved son, and spoke earnestly.

"If you are really angry, go and beg your brother. The examination in front of the palace is coming soon. Your brother wants to compete for the top spot. Talk to the Holy Master and you can ask him to help you vent your anger in the examination in front of the palace."

Qin Li Shidao.

…

…

The next day, early morning.

The morning dew hangs on the leaves, as crystal clear as glass.

An Le sat cross-legged under the old locust tree and spent the whole night sorting out his mind and sword energy in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows.

After condensing his soul, he understood the Sword Waterfall Diagram better, and the embryo of the Heart Sword became more and more formed.

The fourth level of refining the spirit is Yuanshen, and the fifth level is sitting and forgetting. To enter the fifth level, you need a kind of understanding. I don't have a clue about happiness now, but I'm not in a hurry.

After getting up, the energy and blood roared on his body, and he started to perform martial arts in the courtyard. The energy and blood surged from under the skin, and the demon jade around his waist overflowed with strands of pure demon aura, which was purer than the demon aura of the ancient demon-quenching jade before. .

Being absorbed by Anle's physical body, tempering every inch of flesh and blood and spiritual bones, perhaps due to the high quality of the demonic energy, coupled with the efficient blessing of the Tao Fruit of the Eternal Genius, Anle only felt that practicing the ancient demon five birds seemed to be extremely refined, and the tempering The body's cultivation is growing rapidly, the inner alchemy is roaring, the energy and blood are like a flood, and ancient monsters and visions are appearing one after another, causing strong winds in the courtyard and causing the leaves of the old locust trees to rustle and tremble.

After fighting a set of ancient demons and five animals, Anle changed into clean clothes, still wearing white clothes with wide sleeves. Combined with the aura of the powerful sword and the handsome and enchanting face, he looked as rich as jade.

He took the green mountain and the ink pond and put them on his waist. He picked up books and read them while leaving the yard.

Anle planned to go to the West Lake to relax, so he went to work in the Lin Mansion. In addition to teaching Lin Qingyin how to paint, he also had to complete the paintings for the young masters of the Lin Mansion.

During the spring period, I was basically free and did not paint, so I accumulated a lot of work.

However, we just left Taimiao Lane.

Standing next to the Taimiao Temple on Qingbo Street, there was an old man wearing a Confucian shirt chatting with the old Taimiao man.

Seeing Anle, the old man looked softly at him, his Confucian shirt fluttering in the wind.

The old man from Ancestral Temple pursed his lips to Anle without much interest.

"Young An, this person is Zhu Huoxi, a senior official in the Academy of Arts. He is here to invite you to join the Academy. You two can talk about it among yourselves."
