Chapter 11 A symbol is worth a thousand gold
"What? That little Taoist priest has really memorized all the Buddhist scriptures? This is a big deal. You will guard him these few days and copy out the Buddhist scriptures..."
Queen Changsun was shocked when she heard what Xiaoyun said. She didn't expect that the little Taoist priest had really memorized the Buddhist scriptures that Silver Moon Kingdom regarded as treasure.
If she could copy a volume, not to mention her, even the King of Qin would be overjoyed.
"Unexpectedly, people from the Silver Moon Kingdom came to clean up the mess, but we met an incredible little guy. We won't be idle in the days to come."
Queen Changsun looked at Yun'er and smiled.
The two were laughing when the voice of King Qin came from outside the palace.
When Xiaoyun heard this, she quickly stepped aside, looked at the queen and asked, "Isn't the emperor here to rob someone?"
"That's not true. I asked for someone first." The queen glanced at her and smiled lightly.
"Today is a great way to relieve my hatred! The anger I have been holding in for a long time is finally released. I want to reward the little guy."
When King Qin came down, he did not ask the queen anything else, but first praised Li Xiuyuan.
"The emperor is not here to ask for someone from me, is he?"
The queen imitated Xiaoyun's tone and smiled to King Qin.
"I'm not that stingy, Queen, don't worry." King Qin looked at the Queen and replied with a smile. If it was what he wanted, he could not wait to drag Li Xiuyuan back to the palace now and give her a good reward.
But since the queen spoke first, he couldn't influence his woman's feelings. Anyway, it would be the worst for the boy to stay in the palace. He could just grab him and interrogate him when he wanted to.
"Your Majesty, you've been waiting so long. Maybe that little guy will give you a surprise in the future."
The queen told King Qin what Xiaoyun told her.
"Is there such a thing? Then you have to let me take a look first!" King Qin looked at the queen and laughed loudly. "That guy recited something in the hall. I couldn't listen carefully, but I had to hold it in my hand and listen carefully.
Just read it carefully.
The queen glanced at him and smiled lightly: "Who says it's not the case?"
"After the matter in Silver Moon Kingdom is resolved, this little guy must be rewarded well. The Queen will have to have someone take good care of him these days."
King Qin looked at the queen and said seriously.
"Do the ministers have any suitable candidates for this second competition? You won't let this little guy take part, right?" The queen looked at King Qin and asked softly.
When King Qin heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and replied quietly: "It depends on what kind of candidates they send. It's too early for us to say anything now."
The queen nodded and responded: "Then bring Li Xiuyuan with you. This guy is not as simple as we seem."
After all, the queen is not like a bunch of ministers, but she saw with her own eyes the wonderful scene when Li Xiuyuan recited the scriptures.
...
On a starry night, Li Xiuyuan fell onto the bed, about to experience a sudden crisis.
The chanting during the day actually made it difficult to suppress his already loosened state. Finally, in the dead of night, it roared and rippled, and the true energy in his Dantian was even stronger than before.
Seeing that he was about to break through another realm, the power of Taoist true energy was constantly emitted from the sea of Qi in Dantian.
“Incredible!”
Outside the door, Xiaoyun's hand that was about to knock on the door stopped, and the shock in her heart could not be concealed.
It is not uncommon for a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building to break through the realm, but the news of Li Xiuyuan's breakthrough is too loud at the moment, and it is no less impressive than his own Nascent Soul realm breakthrough.
Along the way of spiritual practice, one has always been competing with God for destiny. The gap between the same person and different destiny is so far that it is unimaginable. Although it is cruel, it is a fact.
She didn't expect that this guy was still at the second level of foundation building during the day, and she didn't expect that he would break through to the third level under her eyes.
It seems that the future days in this palace will no longer be as monotonous as before.
I have to go back and practice hard, otherwise this humble guy will catch up with me one day.
Xiaoyun, who was standing outside the door, quietly felt the state of Li Xiuyuan inside the house, with a look of shock on her face.
Li Xiuyuan in the room felt the impact of the true energy in his body, but he did not dare to be distracted at this moment. He concentrated and calmed down, carefully feeling that the true energy in his Dantian was washing through the meridians of his body over and over again.
"How come?"
The next moment, Li Xiuyuan's expression changed again, and he saw that the whole room was filled with golden light. The spiritual energy in the sky outside the room continued to surge into the room and rushed into Li Xiuyuan's Dantian. The entire sea of qi began to spin crazily, constantly swallowing the surrounding people.
Aura.
Half an hour later, the spiritual energy in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sea of energy in Li Xiuyuan's body returned to calm, with a golden vortex slowly rotating.
Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes and sighed softly, thinking that he was one step closer to his master's legendary realm.
"Sister Xiaoyun came here in the middle of the night. Do you have something to ask Xiuyuan?"
Li Xiuyuan sensed someone outside the door and was worried that the queen had something to do with him, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, it's okay! You should rest early. I will send you the things you need to copy the scriptures tomorrow."
Xiaoyun smiled and replied, this guy has completed breaking through the realm, and it's time for him to go back and rest.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied.
I thought it would be a good idea to stay here to practice. After all, as long as I don't cause trouble, there will be no shortage of training resources in the palace, at least before I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Before I broke through to Nascent Soul, I felt a sense of crisis. I didn't have this sense of crisis before I went down the mountain. After I was caught by the bandits...
So what if he is the Taoyuan Swordsman in the Nascent Soul Realm? Hasn’t he been poisoned by the Flying Eagle King?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan felt lucky to have escaped death until now. Only when you are alive can you have hope, and everything else is just self-deception.
He fell down on the bed and ran the mental method of Taixuan Sutra over and over again, slowly stabilizing his state.
...
That night, Li Xiuyuan finally had a peaceful sleep without anyone disturbing him. Yesterday, he remembered that he asked Overlord Chen to drag him out of bed before dawn.
The good thing about entering the palace is that it saves a lot of things. After washing up, he found that Xiaoyun had been quiet in the living room for a long time.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but frowned, looked at her and said, "Sister Xiaoyun, please help me get some rice oil. I can do these things myself."
Xiaoyun looked at him and smiled and said: "Someone does these things, and I don't cook them myself. Hurry up and eat, I have brought everything you need to copy the scriptures for you."
Li Xiuyuan picked up the porridge on the table, looked at Xiaoyun and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyun, do you want to learn Buddhist scriptures? Such difficult scriptures."
Xiaoyun looked at him and frowned slightly, and said softly: "You have to copy two volumes, one for the queen, and one for me to keep. You are not allowed to tell anyone that you gave me one!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and thought to himself, do you want to keep it privately?
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyun, I won't tell anyone." In Li Xiuyuan's view, copying an extra volume of scriptures is just like studying and practicing swordplay by yourself. There is no difference, it just takes more effort.
Compared with the fat sheep in the hands of bandits, he would rather copy a few more volumes of scriptures.
"The Queen wants you to have a good rest and come with us to watch the second match the next day." Xiaoyun looked at Li Xiuyuan and said thoughtfully.
"What is the content of the second competition?" Li Xiuyuan put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Xiaoyun and asked quietly.
Xiaoyun thought for a while, looked at him and replied: "I heard it seems to be a competition. We won't know the details until then."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and said in a daze: "Sister Xiaoyun, look at my level, which is only at the third level of foundation building. What use can it be used for? I can't even defeat that bandit?"
When Xiaoyun heard him talking about bandits, she couldn't help but giggle. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you fight against the masters of the Golden Core Realm."
"There are many practitioners in the kingdom, and the masters are much better than you. What are you afraid of? All you need to do is stay with us and come up with ideas when the time comes."
In Xiaoyun's eyes, she could knock down Li Xiuyuan with just a move of her fingers. In this competition between the two countries, she would not send him to the competition under any circumstances.
After hearing Xiaoyun's words, Li Xiuyuan felt relieved and planned to spend half a day copying two scriptures and another half day practicing swordsmanship in the next days.
I have broken through two realms, and this training method should be able to take me to the next level.
Wait until autumn or winter to break through two more realms, and you will be a practitioner of the fifth level of foundation building. If you don't need two, you can break through to the golden elixir realm.
This was something that Li had never dared to think about before.
Xiaoyun sat for a while longer, watching Li Xiuyuan finish the breakfast on the table, then clapped her hands and walked out. "I'll see you again in the afternoon, and I'll find you some tea by the way."
Xiaoyun was about to boil water to make tea, only to realize that Li Xiuyuan didn't even have a small stove to boil water, let alone brew a pot of tea for chatting.
She has to go back and serve the queen, this is her business.
After breakfast, Li Xiuyuan walked around the garden until he was familiar with the environment, then returned to the house and sat down to start sharpening his ink.
He picked up a blank scripture and put it on the table, and quietly thought about which scroll he should copy first. If he had it his own way, he would definitely copy the Tao Te Ching first.
But looking at Xiaoyun's anxious look, she must have wanted to copy the Ksitigarbha Sutra by herself first.
After all, neither the Queen nor King Qin had ever seen this scroll, so they definitely wanted to take a quick look at it.
Thinking of this, he decided to copy the Ksitigarbha Sutra first. This scripture had been integrated into his flesh and blood, and he didn't need to think too much when copying it.
As soon as I picked up the pen, scriptures appeared on the paper.
To perform meritorious deeds and relieve suffering, but there are no good causes in life. When you feel hell according to your own deeds, you will naturally cross this sea first...
I saw that after his ascension, his writing style had undergone tremendous changes inadvertently. It was due to the teaching power of the old Taoist priest and the transformation that he did not know about.
The current strokes are no longer the neat regular script of the Five Domains. Each stroke is filled with the sword's intention of being as light as water and as light as weight.
Every stroke of Li Xiuyuan's strokes in front of him is made with an uninhibited and uninhibited writing style. His writing is agile and fast, and his handwriting is thin and strong. It is thin but does not lose its flesh. You can see the graceful grace in every word.
The strokes are relatively thin and hard, the brushwork is exposed, thin and hard with spirit, the brush is used carefully and vigorously, the structure is sparse, and there is a faint meaning of wind and thunder between movement and stillness.
At the beginning, the old Taoist priest said that there was a sword intention in his writing, but the old Taoist priest could not understand it.
The villagers who came down from the mountain were more willing to seek talismans from Li Xiuyuan because of his unique writing style, and the old Taoist priest was also happy to relax. Over time, the runes in the Taoist temple were all written by Li Xiuyuan himself, which really saved the old Taoist priest a lot of effort.
drink wine.
Using gold to change tendons is a sign of respect for the imperial calligraphy. It is also said that the bones of the sky are beautiful and interesting, which is what the old Taoist taught Li Xiuyuan when he first taught him to practice calligraphy.
The so-called "Bending Iron and Breaking Metal" has never appeared in the Shura Realm. It can be said that it is the most proud work of the old Taoist priest. Li Xiuyuan once asked about the source, but the old Taoist priest had already forgotten it.
After several years of practice, Li Xiuyuan has made full use of it, and combined with his own sword intention, it has become his own unique style.
