Chapter 196 Ran Qingchen’s Transformation
When the eldest princess left, she finally left Ran Qingchen the “Love Sword” and the “Western Regions Unfeeling Flower”.
As a sword that can only be worn by the leader of the Nanhai Holy Sect, Jiang Wan has not been returned since Jiang Wan left the sect. Later, the sword was placed in the palace, and the Nanhai Holy Sect asked for it several times, but to no avail. .
After Li Guanshi achieved great success in practice, he was too lazy to ask for it.
This sword, originally named "Zhanqing", has the formula "Zhanqing Jue" of the Nanhai Holy Sect engraved on its body.
The first sentence is: The thread of love is like a thread, if you cut it off, you will understand your heart; if the river of love is flowing, you will see your true nature when you cross it.
Ran Qingchen has an understanding of the Nanhai Holy Sect. If he wants to practice greatness, he needs to perform the ritual of "cutting off love". Only by letting go of all the distractions of the world of mortals can your mind be like a clear mirror, seeing that all five aggregates are empty.
When Ran Qingchen was practicing in the Xuanji Sword Sect, he once asked his master: "Does the so-called killing of love mean that one becomes ruthless?"
The master was silent for a long time. , then said with a smile: "The path to spiritual practice is not about the freezing cold of Dugu Peak, nor the hiding of shadows in the valley, but actually lies in the tempering of one's mind. People in the world often say that "love is the key to entering the world", but everyone knows that "cutting love" is not ruthless. , but super affection.”
“Super affection? I don’t understand.”
Ran Qingchen was still young at that time and had no idea about the relationship between men and women. She just felt that in her memory, her mother was very gentle and had nothing to do with the word "cutting love".
Master said: "The so-called 'super emotion' means that when the mind is not occupied, only then can one concentrate one's energy and energy and step into the deep realm of practice."
The mind is not occupied...< br>
From then on, Ran Qingchen remembered it.
How can we get a glimpse of the way of heaven by cutting off the strands of the mortal world?
Later, she gradually learned that her mother gave up "cutting love" and chose the way of "entering love", but ultimately failed... This made Ran Qingchen more determined in her thoughts.
The path my mother chose is wrong.
And Li Guanshi’s success also provides better evidence.
Ran Qingchen wanted to learn from Li Guanshi from beginning to end.
But she doesn’t want to become the second Li Guanshi, but she wants her mother’s name of “Unparalleled Sword Immortal” to be shown to the world again, so that she will no longer be ridiculed by the common people.
Mom, it doesn’t matter if you took the wrong path, my daughter will help you correct it.
Ran Qingchen clenched his sword tightly, determination flashing in his clear and clear eyes.
Of course, she does not intend to take the "Western Heartless Flower". It goes against her nature to rely on foreign objects. The only way is to kill her own heart.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong come back, Ran Qingchen recovered from his chaotic thoughts and smiled: "I have asked the eldest princess about her rescue of people in the river. Those people are not seriously injured."
“Didn’t Chu Qi come back?” Jiang Shouzhong asked doubtfully.
It stands to reason that since Chu Qi is a member of the Six Sects of Qingzhou, he should report back since he is fine.
“Who is Chu Qi?” Ran Qingchen was startled.
Lieutenant General Jiang Shou roughly told the story of how he met Chu Qi.
Ran Qingchen shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this person. Maybe he has come back. I will ask Mr. Shan later. He is the chief of the Six Sects of Qingzhou and should know about him."
Ran Qingchen stood up and said: "Let's go find Li Nanshuang and her second uncle first."
"Okay."
Jiang Shouzhong noticed a strange ice blue flower on the table. When he was about to take a closer look, the woman put it away.
Because they were not far away, Ran Qingchen did not choose to take a carriage and walked with Jiang Shouzhong.
On the street, the two walked side by side.
Jiang Shouzhong is still thinking about Mengniang's predicament, and doesn't know how Mengniang plans to overcome the difficulties. After leaving the teahouse before, he didn't tell the other party when he asked.
While Jiang Shouzhong was distressed, Ran Qingchen also fell into a mysterious state.
Perhaps it’s because I have my mother’s sword. Holding it in my hand, I can vaguely feel my mother’s warmth.
The clear breath coming from the sword body was like a trickle, quietly washing her mind, making the woman's thoughts clear and clear, and her mind as clear and sharp as ever before.
This sword is originally the treasure of the Nanhai Holy Sect and has the function of "calming the mind".
After experiencing successive generations of masters, the tempering of the state of mind becomes more pure.
At this time, walking beside Jiang Shouzhong, Ran Qingchen lost all the complicated emotions of anxiety, entanglement, guilt or joy in his usual life, leaving only a clear and empty space, and his state of mind was like a mirror.
Inadvertently, the woman caught a glimpse of the golden bracelet on Hao Wan.
Ran Qingchen was stunned for a while.
Where is the love?
Can I really live in the mortal world without falling in love?
If she wasn't in love, why would she care about Jiang Mo? If you care, why don't you want to admit it. If you don't want to admit it, how can you think of occupying it...
The complicated emotions that are disturbing you are like silk threads entangled in a woman's heart.
Reluctant to give up, not to give up, not to give up, unwilling to...
The scenes of getting along with Jiang Shouzhong are like the reels of old movies rewinding rapidly in my mind.
She felt that she was gradually withdrawing from the body of reality, her soul was floating lightly, and she became a bystander standing quietly outside of time, looking at the pictures.
From this detached perspective, I seemed both strange and familiar.
From the disgust of meeting Jiang Mo for the first time, to the helplessness of getting married, to the confession of his heart. From being jealous because of being robbed by Li Nanshuang, to worrying about gains and losses, to being entangled. From being indifferent, to appreciating, to caring...
She is like a crab, holding a pair of sand, then letting go, and then clamping again...
"I can It’s so mean and hypocritical.”
Looking at “himself” in the memory scroll, Ran Qingchen laughed at himself.
She recalled that because she and Li Nanshuang were competing for the kitten, she had pushed the eldest lady's overbearing character to the extreme. Although she let go in the end... it was still annoying after all.
I remember Master once said something like this: "Qingchen, your biggest problem is 'letting go and not letting go, not letting go'. When you really let go, it will be the most painful thing for you. Time. "
Let it go without letting go, let go without letting go... Therefore, it disturbs the heart the most.
Ran Qingchen seems to have some enlightenment.
At this moment, the woman's mood was wandering again.
The hustle and bustle of the surrounding market seemed to be gently cut off by an invisible curtain. The crowds of people and the loud noises quietly faded away, leaving her alone in a long empty street.
The streets and alleys are empty, and my heart feels like still water. I can only hear the echo of footsteps...
Every step and step stirs up a slight ripple in the lake in my heart, and then quickly returns to tranquility.
It seems that all things reincarnate and end up in the void.
The slender and intricate silk threads gradually appear in front of the eyes, intertwined and entangled, like the shuttle of the Weaver Girl. Weaving colorful tapestry of memories, spreading quietly in the void.
The line of cause and effect... Ran Qingchen's mind suddenly became clear, and he drew his sword and chopped it down!
In an instant, the intertwined threads of cause and effect were cut off precisely and decisively like filaments.
After the sword fell, the surrounding scene returned to normal in an instant.
The crowds in the market were once again crowded, with pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder... Ran Qingchen was still walking silently on the street side by side with Jiang Shouzhong, and she had never unsheathed her sword.
It was as if the vision that had just occurred was nothing more than a dream.
At this time, there was a ball of white mist light, faintly self-stained and light dust lingering around the body, seemingly there or not, coming out through the body.
She is already cold and beautiful, but she has a somewhat otherworldly charm.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Shouzhong noticed something strange about the woman around him.
In his sight, he didn't notice anything strange, but he could feel that the other person was different.
Ran Qingchen smiled slightly, "It's nothing."
The woman suddenly quickened her pace and distanced herself from Jiang Shouzhong. Then she suddenly turned around, put her hands behind her back, looked at Jiang Shouzhong with a smile and said: "Jiang Mo, feel free to like whoever you like, I won't care."
This time, the woman really doesn't care.
Forgetting both emotion and law, the Taoist mind appears on its own.
Dyeing the light dust, you are only one step away from entering the realm of "sainthood"!
......
On a distant attic, Li Guanshi stared at this scene silently.
“Look inside your heart and cut off worldly thoughts externally, so that your emotions will not trap you in me, and I will not be trapped in your emotions either…”
Li Guanshi murmured, “This girl is really Having realized the state of "emptiness of love," senior sister, who is better, the one who kills love or the other who falls in love? At least your daughter thinks you are wrong."
A gust of wind blows, and the woman's hair floats, and her fluttering skirt wraps up a delicate curve, like an immortal.
“Thank you, Mr. Li, for your help.”
Behind her, the eldest princess Zhou Wanyue moved her lotus steps lightly, and Nana bowed, gathered her skirt and saluted.
Li Guanshi said lightly: "I just used the 'Sword of Killing Love' to drag Ran Qingchen into the mysterious state of mind of 'The Realm of Love'. As for whether she can understand the true meaning of 'Severing Love', it depends on Herself. At least she has realized the realm of 'Qing Kong', which I didn't expect."
Zhou Wanyue said with a smile: "In short, my goal has been achieved. I will abide by the agreement and deliver the thing. Nanhai Shengzong goes.”
Li Guanshi smiled and said: "Now that Ran Qingchen is about to enter the realm of 'Entering Saint', but she is even more charming, are you not afraid of your sweetheart and are more obsessed with her? If I were a man, I would definitely like her more."
Zhou Wanyue looked at the vague figure of Ran Qingchen in the distance, and said lightly: "Being obsessed is one thing, but whether you have thoughts or not is another matter. The higher the woman you like stands, the farther away she is from him. Far away, it can only be thought of... Only then will I really give up."
"It makes sense."
Li Guanshi feels this deeply.
When she was still a young girl in her mid-twenties, there were so many admirers in the world who were crazy about her. Many young talents swore that they would never marry another woman in their lives, including that calm father.
But when she stood at the top, all the men who had sworn the oath left sadly.
The obsession is still infatuated, but the unrealistic thoughts have been destroyed.
It’s just like buying something.
I fell in love with an expensive item, so I decided to save money to buy it, but one day I found out that the item had become a sky-high price... At this time, I had no choice but to give up.
Li Guanshi suddenly lost interest.
Senior sister was obviously close to success back then, so why did she choose to "get into love".
What is the last move of Wushuang swordsmanship?
Although when chatting with Luo Wanqing some time ago, she said that she wanted to show Luo Wanqing the last move of Wushuang swordsmanship, but in fact she did not realize it, otherwise she would have used it at that time.
——
Jiang Shouzhong didn't know what happened to Ran Qingchen, but he obviously felt that the woman was "cleaner".
Yes, clean.
A kind of cleanliness from the inside out.
It is like a piece of jade without impurities, maintaining a noble purity that is not stained by dust in the world.
It is like a wisp of smoke, which can be seen but cannot be grasped.
Ran Qingchen stretched out his hand, "Give me a bracelet."
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned, then took out a bracelet from his arms and handed it to her.
Ran Qingchen took the bracelet, handed him the best-quality gold bracelet on her wrist, and said with a smile: "At least give it to a girl carefully and give it well. As for me, As your wife, just deal with it casually."
Jiang Shouzhong had a strange look in his eyes and took the bracelet without saying anything.
The woman's body temperature and fragrance still remain on the bracelet.
But when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ran Qingchen regretted it and asked for the bracelet back.
You can give it to anyone, but you can't give it to Li Nanshuang. If you become enemies with some people, you will be enemies for life.
In the small courtyard, Li Nanshuang is practicing sword practice.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong arriving, the girl's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "Bake noodles!"
Seeing the pretty and cute girl, Jiang Shouzhong showed a warm smile from the bottom of his heart.
Some girls are born with sunshine, and their mood will change from the moment they see her.
Li Nanshuang habitually held Jiang Shouzhong's arm, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ran Qingchen. He let out a sigh and looked at the other person, "Not bad, are you about to touch the threshold of becoming a saint?"
"Just give it a try." Ran Qingchen smiled.
For the intimacy between Li Nanshuang and Jiang Shouzhong, unlike in the past, there was no resentment at this time.
This is the case in the realm of love and space, which puts people in the perspective of a bystander, taking away their emotions and maintaining absolute rationality.
“Yes, yes, you’re treating me tonight, let’s celebrate, the pheasant will soon fly up the branches and turn into a phoenix.”
Li Nanshuang said with a smile.
Ran Qingchen gave a cute look and said, "The dog on the roadside won't invite you."
Jiang Shouzhong was helpless. Every time the two people met, they would inevitably have a verbal quarrel. , quickly changed the subject, "Boss, there is a girl named Yan'er next to your second uncle, right."
Li Nanshuang nodded, "Yes, he is taking care of my second uncle in the house."< br>
