Chapter two hundred and seventy-four: Huang Liang and a dream
In ancient times, there was a dream called Huangliang.
The reality of a dream is like entering reincarnation again.
When waking up from a dream.
What you saw in the dream is vivid in your mind, and what you learned in the dream is not forgotten.
Zhang Heng went into retreat this time.
I am going to use Huang Liang to have a dream, a dream for a hundred years, to understand the truth and enlightenment.
In case ten years later, the great era comes, we will be unable to cope with it.
"about there."
Zhang Heng sat cross-legged, with his right shoulder exposed, and his hands formed the Great Dream Seal.
In an instant.
The light in my mind exploded and turned into a whirlpool.
Zhang Heng did not resist and allowed his soul to be sucked away by the vortex.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Heng slowly came back to his senses.
Taking a closer look, he saw that the surrounding scene had changed and he was being held in the arms of a woman.
"This is..."
Zhang Heng found that the woman was taking off her clothes again, as if she wanted to feed him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Heng hurriedly struggled.
After struggling, I realized that my little arms and legs were actually that of a two or three-year-old child.
"Are you not hungry?"
Zhang Heng was very resistant.
The woman gave up feeding him and instead teased him: "Heng'er, Heng'er, call mother quickly."
Zhang Heng remained unmoved and looked around the room to himself.
Enter the eyes.
The furnishings in the room are quite luxurious, including a white jade Eight Immortals table, a gold-embroidered screen, a crystal vase with flowers, and a silver wind chime hanging in the window.
You know without asking that this is a wealthy family.
It’s hard to say how rich you are, but at least you have enough to eat and drink, and you have to have servants to take care of you.
"One flower, one world, one leaf, one Buddha."
"For me, this is the dream world of Huang Liang's dream, but for others, this world may not be fake, it may even be a real world that exists somewhere in unknown time and space."
Zhang Heng thought while sizing up the woman in front of him.
The woman was in her thirties, wearing luxurious clothes and a hairpin, and her manners were graceful and luxurious. She probably did not come from a small family.
"Mom, is my brother awake?"
Don’t wait to think about it any further.
A child of seven or eight years old ran in at the door.
He reached out to hug Zhang Heng, but the woman stopped him: "Your brother is still young, please don't throw him."
The child was not angry and circled around the woman, making faces as he went: "Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng, I am your brother Zhang Yong."
"Zhang Yong, Zhang Heng."
"Eternal?"
Although Zhang Heng turned into a child in Huang Liang's dream and lost his magic power.
But the essence of his soul is that of an immortal, not a human being.
After just quietly feeling it for a moment, he discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in this world was very high.
Although it is not as good as the True Destiny Realm of Immortals, it is still much higher than the Liaozhai World.
Combined with names like Zhang Yong and Zhang Heng.
He suspected that his background in Huang Liangmeng might be unusual.
as expected.
Within the next half month, Zhang Heng confirmed his suspicion.
The Zhang family he belongs to calls himself the Zhang family of Huludao, and is a new cultivation family that has risen in recent years.
Although it is a small family, its territory is not small, and it controls an island about a hundred miles away.
Everything on the island belongs to the Zhang family, including three mines and a Lingbei breeding garden.
"A weird world."
"There are only large and small islands. There is no such thing as a continent. The large islands are thousands of miles across, and the small islands are one mile in diameter."
"Everyone lives on the island and is always on guard against invasion by sea monsters."
"The cultivation system is also very strange, including consecration, fasting, fetal breath, spiritual nourishment, enlightenment, immortality, and immortality."
"There is no country and no sect."
"There are only large and small monk families and city-state alliances."
"The technique is also very strange."
"What system is the Spiritual Root Method, and who created it?"
"You can't practice without spiritual roots. What are these spiritual roots? The five elements?"
A few months down the line.
The more Zhang Heng learned about it, the weirder the world became.
There is no ascension and no reincarnation.
From consecration to immortality, there are seven levels in total.
At each level, lifespan doubles.
In the first level, monks in the Enlightenment Realm can live to be 200 years old, and then the levels increase gradually. By the time they reach the Immortal Realm, monks can live to be 10,800 years old.
There is no elixir of immortality, and there is no talk of a second life.
But according to legend, big families have various secret life-increasing techniques that can increase life span again.
certainly.
This kind of technique does not exist in the Zhang family.
Huludao Zhang Family.
Founded three hundred years ago.
The first ancestor had a mysterious origin and had a spiritual cultivation level.
I passed by Huludao by chance. Seeing that it was a good place, I stayed here and spread its branches, thus forming the Huludao Zhang family lineage.
It's a pity that a hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Zhang family failed to break through to the realm of enlightenment and has fallen.
The current person in charge of the Zhang family is Zhang Heng's second grandfather, a Fetus Breath Realm monk.
Zhang Heng's lineage is the third son of the ancestor who founded the clan, that is, the third son's lineage.
As for the eldest son, the eldest grandfather went out to travel in his early years and never came back. According to the Zhang family, he probably died outside.
"The Zhang family was established not long ago. There is no distinction between inside and outside, and the interior is quite harmonious."
"And I am the third generation of the Zhang family in Huludao."
"The first generation who are still alive are the second master who is in power and the fourth aunt."
"Following down, there are more than a dozen people in the second generation, who are in charge of the island's mines, farmland, Lingbei breeding farms, and other miscellaneous items."
"There are many people in my generation, probably hundreds of them."
"The father of this body is a manager in the mine. His qualifications are not good and his cultivation level is not high. He only has the cultivation level of the second realm, Bigu Realm."
"On my mother's side, I'm from the Cui family in Kakoshima."
"To sum up, she is a direct descendant of the lady, but she is not very favored, and her spiritual root talent is also very ordinary."
...
Going round and round.
It has been a year since Zhang Heng came to Huang Liang Yimeng's world.
In the eyes of others, he is a somewhat dull-witted, silly child who is four years old and still doesn't know how to speak.
Actually.
After a year of practice, he has reached the middle stage of refining Qi and is only one step away from the later stage. This is still because there is no elixir to assist the practice. If there is, it can be faster.
Zhang Heng made his own estimate.
According to current standards, he should be able to practice Xuhe Dao by the time he is crowned sixteen years old.
Correspondingly, it should be the fifth state of enlightenment in this world, or the sixth state of immortality.
certainly.
This is the speed without the aid of pills, but it would be faster if there were any.
After all, he is essentially a true immortal, and all he lacks now is his magic power.
Time flies.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Heng, who was reincarnated in the dream, was already ten years old.
His cultivation has reached perfection by refining Qi and transforming into God.
By conversion, it is equivalent to the third realm [Fetal Breath Realm], similar to the contemporary head of the Zhang family in Huludao.
With such a level of cultivation, not to mention combat prowess.
He is taciturn all day long, doesn't like to go out, and doesn't like to play with his peers. He doesn't seem to be very gregarious, but his combat prowess is already the best in Huludao.
"Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng, I'm here to see you."
Compared to being taciturn.
To Zhang Heng, who is not close to anyone, Zhang Yong is a pure middle school boy.
He is only fifteen years old this year, and he has endless energy throughout the day, as if he will never be tired.
"Good news for you."
"Fourth Auntie said that I can almost recognize my handwriting and will help me test my spiritual roots next month. If I have spiritual roots, I can officially start practicing."
Zhang Yong was filled with joy. After speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his arms as if it were a treasure, and said to Zhang Heng mysteriously: "This is the Ganoderma lucidum cake that the fourth aunt gave me. Only the second master and the fourth aunt have it."
, you eat quickly, I brought it back specially for you."
Zhang Heng glanced at the Ganoderma lucidum cake.
His nominal brother was very gluttonous. Two years ago, when he went to Kakoshima to visit relatives, he did something very embarrassing because of his gluttony.
In the Cui family of Kakoshima, there was a girl who was similar to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong was thirteen years old and had just begun to fall in love. He fell in love with her as soon as he saw her.
I found out that she likes to eat almond cakes, so I bought a box of the best ones to give to her.
As a result, the girl was not at home, so he was waiting at the door.
By noon, I was really hungry, so I wanted to sneak a snack to fill my stomach.
It turned out that the almond cake was so delicious that I couldn’t resist it, and in the end there was only an empty box left.
Only Zhang Heng knows about this.
It can be seen that Zhang Yong is definitely a foodie.
Now I can hold a piece of Ganoderma lucidum cake, and I am reluctant to eat it all the way there, and I want to bring it back to him.
Needless to say, in Zhang Yong's heart, he really regarded him as a relative.
Unfortunately.
Zhang Heng has been dreaming for hundreds of years and has always been a passerby.
Neither the Huludao Zhang family nor my parents want to get too close to each other.
Otherwise, how will he face these people when he leaves?
So over the years, he was like Xu Shu entering Cao's camp, silent and taciturn.
influenced by.
His parents just thought he was stupid and didn't take him when they came to see him. Even when they returned to his parents' home in Kakoshima, they never mentioned anything about him.
Zhang Heng is also happy with this.
He didn't even care about the rumors circulating in the Zhang family that he was a fool.
Only Zhang Yong.
Always defend him and bring him good things to eat.
Zhang Heng saw everything.
Although he didn't express it with his mouth, deep down in his heart, he felt very good about Zhang Yong, this cheap brother.
"You really don't want to eat?"
Seeing that Zhang Heng was silent as always, Zhang Yong sat next to him and said while eating Ganoderma lucidum cake: "I wonder if you have heard that my mother is pregnant with a little girl, and you are going to be a brother."
Zhang Heng had not heard about this incident.
But to him, it doesn't matter whether he hears it or not.
Because in his heart, he couldn't regard Cui as his mother, let alone his father.
Therefore, since he was a child, he would not take a sip of the Cui family's milk. Even after eating the Zhang family's food, he would secretly kill the sea beasts approaching Huludao in return.
Zhang Heng didn't know if what he was doing was right.
But he really can't be like some protagonists, who go through reincarnation and reincarnation, with one father and one mother. He really can't say it out loud.
Once Huang Liang has a big dream, he will recognize his father.
After a thousand times, his father was able to form an infantry regiment.
to this end.
Zhang Heng thought about leaving Huludao and traveling alone, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not necessary.
In a few years, your cultivation level will be higher.
He will set up a large formation around Huludao to repay today's fate.
"My fourth aunt said that I will be able to study the Fa soon. How about you, don't you congratulate me?"
Zhang Yong was a little discouraged.
Thinking of Zhang Yong, he has always been very kind to me over the years.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said seriously: "Don't worry about the spiritual root test."
Seeing that Zhang Heng finally talked to him.
Zhang Yong was happy at first and then sad: "How can you not worry? You are still young and don't understand. If I don't have spiritual talent, I can only be an ordinary person, and everything in the spiritual world will have nothing to do with me."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Zhang Yong couldn't laugh or cry.
He felt that Zhang Heng understood nothing and had no idea what he was talking about.
Zhang Heng did not explain, but murmured: "The Tao is eternal, but the Dharma is not."
The spiritual root method is only a method, not a Tao.
It does not represent Tao, it is just an expression of Tao.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have spiritual roots, as long as you have the five elements.
It doesn’t matter if the Five Elements are not good, only the physical body is good.
Not even the physical body, so don’t be afraid.
Don’t cultivate the body, cultivate the soul.
If you can't be a Dharma cultivator, then you can become a physical cultivator.
If physical cultivation is not good enough, then change to spiritual cultivation.
If you are not good at spiritual cultivation, you will enter the dream realm.
Even if you can't dream well, you can control ghosts, summon gods, refine weapons, and refine corpses. There are many options to choose from.
Nothing works.
Draw three lines on the face, Zhu Youshu, Huang Tianfa, and incense to become a god.
Zhang Heng possesses the legal system of the Seven Meridians.
As long as Zhang Yong thinks about it, he will definitely be able to lead him into Taoism in the future, and it doesn't matter if he has spiritual roots or not.
"Forget it, my stupid brother, when you are as old as me, you will know what spiritual roots are."
Zhang Yong shook his head and left: "The spiritual root is the sky, and the spiritual root is the earth. For a monk, the spiritual root is everything."
One month later.
The Zhang family tested Zhang Yong's spiritual roots.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong has a high-grade spiritual root, and he is the person with the best spiritual talent in the Zhang family for three hundred years.
How good.
The ancestor who founded the Zhang family in Huludao back then had only a low-grade spiritual root.
High-quality and high-quality people can be cultivated as the core of almost any large family.
In the past, the dirty deeds were not worthy of praise, but today, the dissolute thoughts have no limit.
Zhang Yong is on fire.
Although the Zhang family explained to the outside world that Zhang Yong only had a lower-grade spiritual root, but the higher-grade ones were still the best.
The Nanhai area where the Zhang family is located is only a small place, and there are not many big families.
Here, superior spiritual roots are already very rare, and many founders of cultivating families do not have superior spiritual roots.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future.
Zhang Yong is at least a monk in the fourth realm [Spirit Nurturing Realm].
At a higher level, the fifth realm [Enlightenment Realm] and the sixth mirror [Immortality Realm] can also be associated with each other.
After all, this is a world where spiritual roots determine everything.
"Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng, I'm getting married."
It’s two months again.
Zhang Yong came to see Zhang Heng excitedly: "Fourth Aunt said that she was going to send me to the Nanhai Family Alliance to develop. Before leaving, she wanted me to leave an heir."
Zhang Heng remained silent.
This is the case with family-style cultivation. The more talented the family members are, the younger they usually get married.
Because when the cultivation level is low, it is easier to leave heirs.
If both parents have high spiritual roots, their descendants will often have good spiritual talent.
This way.
Zhang Yongruo died outside when he was still growing up.
The family also has its own bloodline left behind. Firstly, it can ensure the inheritance. Secondly, there must be no descendants among the descendants who can inherit Zhang Yong's top-grade talent.
"Want to know who it is?"
Zhang Yong jumped up and down happily: "It's Cui Ying, Cui Ying from Kakoshima. She is the one I wanted to give almond cake to two years ago. She also has inferior spiritual roots."
Zhang Heng remained silent.
In terms of talent, Cui Ying is obviously not worthy of Zhang Yong.
If Zhang Yong wanted to, even a big family might be willing to marry a daughter from the family with medium spiritual talent and accept Zhang Yong as his son-in-law.
Choose Cui Ying.
I'm afraid that on the one hand, Zhang Yong likes it and has asked for it.
On the other hand, I am probably worried about Qi Dafei. The Zhang family in Huludao is just a small family. Marrying a noble daughter from a big family may cause a lot of troubles.
The Cui family is different.
The Cui and Zhang families were of equal strength, and they continued to intermarry for three hundred years.
Even Zhang Yong's mother was born as a daughter of the Cui family. It would be a good idea for his son to be a daughter of the Cui family.
The eighth day of the first lunar month of that year.
Zhang Yong was fifteen years old, and a red sedan was carried into his home.
On the wedding day, the Zhang family traveled three hundred miles to welcome her.
Zhang Yong sat on the big boat pulled by the sea beast, with his feet hanging out of the edge of the boat, swinging, eating Ganoderma lucidum cakes, and waving to Zhang Heng, with sesame seeds on the corners of his mouth...
Zhang Heng stood in the crowd and watched quietly.
The children of the Cui family were also looking at him. Comparing the high-spirited Zhang Yong with the one who was known as an idiot, they laughed and said, "He is Zhang Heng. He looks really stupid."
"Hehe, I have a good big brother and a top-notch spiritual root, which is incomparable."
"How can such a fool have such a good life? If only I had a big brother with superior spiritual roots. From now on, on the road of cultivation, if you just drop some residue from the gaps between your fingers and feed it to me, you can eat me up."
The sound of wind, waves, and laughter.
The sound reaches my ears.
There was no expression on Zhang Heng's face, because he felt that he had lost just one look at these people.
