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

The clear morning dew flows, and the new tung trees begin to bloom, which brings out the feeling of spring.

The sun is high and the smoke is gathering. It seems that it will be sunny today.

In the early morning of late spring, the frost and dew have not disappeared, and the cold current continues to penetrate into the seams of clothes, which makes people feel nervous.

Anle was leaning on the window sill reading. The candle had long since burned out, leaving only a few residual smoke.

Although spring has ended, Anle still follows his old habits. After exercising and refining his spirit, he quietly holds books and reads, studying and pondering the thoughts that the great scholars want to express in the books.

"The Theory of Demons" is a very interesting book. It talks about a lot of things. In addition to popularizing the knowledge about the differences between demons and humans, it also tells many stories about demons.

There are both good and evil demons. There is a thought in it that although humans and demons are different, sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than the demons.

The protagonists of most stories are good demons, and some stories even praise the benevolent demons for helping others.

There are not many descriptions of evil monsters, but the words are full of fierceness and indignation. After all, evil monsters deceive people's hearts, harm living creatures, and cannibalize people's internal organs. They are really hateful and disgusting.

An Le read it with gusto. The scholar who wrote "On Demons" was a great scholar named Ning Chen. It was said that he had untold stories with demons. Many of the content about demons in the article were based on personal experiences.

As a practitioner who obtained the demon-quenching jade, tempered the body with demon energy, and was accustomed to the five ancient demons, Anle was still quite interested in demons.

Perhaps it was because the squirrel spirit woman left a good impression on him. The good demon was not extremely vicious, but was also as polite as a human being.

Some monsters are more polite and kind-hearted than humans, while some people have darker hearts than evil monsters.

I closed the book, looked at the blue sky, felt peaceful and cheerful, got up and walked to the yard.

Spring is over and most people are starting to relax, although the results haven't been released yet.

Anle, however, maintained his daily practice habits as always.

Exercise your body, train your mind, read books, and examine yourself three times a day.

Practice with peace of mind, just so that one day you can reach the pinnacle of practice and view the best scenery in the world.

In the yard, the branches of the old locust tree have grown new green and are stained with spring dew. A breeze blows by, shaking off the crystals and causing mist.

The green hills and ink pools planted on the old locust trees seem to tremble slightly with the breeze, and the sound of swords lingering like silk and bamboo.

Although it was inserted into the tree hole, the old locust tree became more and more vigorous, and the leaves even had sharp edges.

Qingshan and Mochi are both extraordinary swords. Mochi was infected by the spirit of calligraphy and ink in Chunwei, and now he can be called a half-step fifth-grade sword. As for Qingshan, not to mention, his own rank is high, and now he is Haoran. Blessing and transforming Haoran's sword energy becomes even more mysterious.

Although I don’t know the quality, it is definitely extraordinary.

The sword energy of the two extraordinary swords was smudged, and the old locust tree was in pain and happiness.

In the courtyard, Anle began to practice the "Five Animal Classics of Ancient Demons". This martial arts scripture deduced by generations of military commanders is now subtly improving Anle's physique and body.

The vision of the ancient demon is being integrated into his flesh and temperament bit by bit.

When he is free, he appears to be awe-inspiring, like a graceful scholar. Once his energy is activated, he will be like an unparalleled evil that suddenly arises, majestic and ferocious.

This change in contrast often catches the opponent by surprise.

After practicing the Ancient Demon Five Birds for a while, the demonic energy from the demon-quenching jade around his waist had already been absorbed completely, and he could no longer absorb any of it. Anle was also a little distressed, not knowing where to fill the demonic energy in the jade.

The squirrel spirit lady has disappeared without a trace, and the demon-quenching gem can only absorb and replenish the demon energy by getting close to the demon.

In fact, the demonic energy forging effect of the demon-quenching gem has become weaker and weaker now. With the enhancement of Anle's physique and the Haoran sword energy, the demon-quenching gem seems a bit useless to him.

The effect of body tempering is not as good as Haoran's sword energy, and it also takes a long time to replenish the demon energy, which is quite troublesome.

No longer exercising, Anle picked off the green mountains and practiced the two sword skills of bamboo branches and fragrant grass. This is a set of sword skills. It is not just a single move, but there is light and shadow when the sword is lifted.

Compared to the secret sword skills of Jian Qi, which are ethereal and controlled by the mind, the three swords of Bamboo Branch, Fragrant Grass and Young Boy You are more orthodox, but they all contain the essence of one sword.

The power of that essence sword is absolutely extraordinary, and it can be regarded as a killing move.

Anle has not yet understood it, and is slowly pondering it.

It also takes time to understand the sword energy.

Spring had just ended, before the results were released, and An Le was not in a hurry, so he exercised and practiced swordsmanship in the yard. He also read books, visualized the sword waterfall, and spent his energy cultivating the awe-inspiring sword energy.

With the addition of Haoran's sword energy, Anle must study more seriously every day. Haoran comes from knowledge and spirit, and reading is the easiest way to cultivate Haoran.

As the ancients said, the book has its own beauty like jade, the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own majesty.

Boxing, practicing swordsmanship, and reading to cultivate Haoran have become Anle's daily routine.

I drew eighteen strands of the energy of time from the Wenqu stele, and all the peace and happiness were blessed on the [Eternal Talent] Tao Fruit. So far, the energy of time blessed by the [Eternal Talent] Tao Fruit has finally reached 100 strands. Consummation achieved.

However, in order to upgrade the [Eternal Talent] Dao Fruit to the next level, Anle also needs to bless two Golden Years Qi, which means that two Dao Fruits need to be consumed.

Now, in addition to the eternal talent path fruit, Anle also has six kinds of age path fruits: [Natural Swordsman], [Sword Collapse Strength], [Selfless Heart], [Fearless Heart], [Demon Tempering Ancient Jade], and [Heroic Yin]. .

Among them, the Natural Swordsman is definitely not expendable and is a great blessing for swordsmanship. Anle's ability to master Haoran Sword Qi is closely related to the subtle influence of the [Natural Swordsman] and the blessing of [Fearless Heart].

As far as Anle is concerned, the priority of these two is definitely higher than [Selflessness], [Collapsing Sword Strength] and [Demon Quenching Jade].

[Hourful Qi Yin] Needless to say, cultivate your own heroic spirit, cooperate with your fearlessness, and dare to kill the immortals in the sky with your sword.

Pride is an indispensable quality for a swordsman.

As a Dao fruit that can be upgraded by blessing the energy of time, Bengjian Jin has high potential, and An Le is unwilling to give it up.

Therefore, the only things that can be consumed are [Selflessness] and [Demon Tempering Ancient Jade].

Holding the sword in the green mountains, he stood quietly under the old locust tree and fell into some contemplation.

[Selflessness] is a quality-like Tao fruit. When fighting, you enter a state of selflessness, forgetting fear, and only have the will to fight, and your strength will be improved. In fact, there is some overlap with the effect of [Fearless Heart].

"So, let go of [Selflessness] and [Demon Tempering Ancient Jade]... to enhance the innate Dao Fruit."

After thinking about Anle for a long time, he finally made a decision.

The Qi of the Golden Years is rare, and Anle can really feel it now. Maybe for several days in a row, even if he picks twenty wisps of the Years every day, he won't get a single strand of the Qi of the Golden Years.

But now that I've made a decision in my heart, I won't change it.

With a thought, a light curtain appeared, a faint light flashing with an undetectable color.

Taking a long breath, with a nervous mind, he consumed [Selflessness] and [Demon Tempering Ancient Jade] to bless [Eternal Talent].

Buzz…

Listening to the faint sound, it seemed that an incense stick was being lit, and then golden smoke curled up, and the Demon Quenching ancient jade around his waist also turned into a burst of golden smoke and disappeared.

The two Time Dao Fruits were once again transformed into the golden Time Qi.

In an instant, Anle felt a stream of fresh air spread instantly, bursting out from under the soles of his feet, pouring into the sword furnace between the eyebrows along the skin, meridians, spiritual bones, and inner elixirs, and finally rushed out from the Tianling Cap.

It seems that peace and happiness are connected with heaven and earth.

[The Tao is born as one, and is born as two. Time passes, the seasons flow, and the fruit of the Tao sheds itself]

【Eternal talent sheds, eternal genius】

Eternal genius!

Anle narrowed his eyes, his heart was slightly shaken, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that talent was not just based on reputation.

For example, the original talent of the ages, before being blessed with the energy of time, could provide limited help and gain. However, as more years of energy are blessed, the talent will improve more obviously.

Only after being fully blessed with the Qi of the ages can one truly become a talent of eternity.

As the name suggests, [Eternal Genius] also follows this path. The effect of the newly transformed Dao Fruit may only be slightly better than that of the full-level [Eternal Genius]. To achieve the true level of [Eternal Genius], you may need to be blessed with full years of Qi. .

[The Fruit of Time: Eternal Genius (0\\/10 strands of Golden Years Qi, 0\\/1000 strands)...]

Anle's eyes fell on the light curtain, the column of years and years, and when he saw the conditions for transformation, he suddenly felt speechless.

Not to mention the thousand strands of time energy, the conditions for just ten strands of golden age energy gave Anle a headache.

It's okay to say that the Qi of Time is easy to find. If you find enough practitioners, you can always collect it slowly. However, the Qi of the Golden Years can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Even if you really get it and transform it into Tao Fruit, it will always be difficult to let go.

Closing his eyes slightly, An Le calmed down and calmed down his mind. He knew that he was a little dazed.

The path of cultivation is long and the years are long. As long as he keeps walking, he will be able to get everything he wants sooner or later.

Therefore, today's anxiety and anxiety are actually quite unreasonable.

With an extremely clear mind, the "Sword Falls Picture" appeared in a flash. With the huge increase and understanding of the genius of the ancient genius, watching "The Sword Waterfall Picture", Anle felt that many of the previously blocked areas were instantly broken through, making a difference. understanding.

My memory has become extraordinary, and I can seem to dig out even the smallest things in my mind.

An Le opened his eyes, raised his hand and moved towards Mochi. The Mochi stuck in the old locust tree was pulled out without hesitation, and hung in front of Anle.

He raised his hand and placed his sword fingers on the ink pool. The sword energy contained in the little holy order in the ink pool was close to the magic door, and Anle was immediately analyzed and comprehended again. Thousands of people

Throughout the small courtyard, the sword energy resounded.

…

…

Clatter. Clatter.

The clanging sound of chains resounded throughout the dark prison of Lin'an Mansion, and the fishy smell filled the air, making it nauseating.

After Liu Yue was mercilessly thrown into prison by an official two days ago, he became confused and confused.

When the officer who delivered the meal put down the simple food, Liu Yue suddenly woke up. The strength surged from nowhere in his body and he rushed to the cell frame. He put his head against the gap and roared: "I was wronged. I was wronged." It’s unjust!”

"I did not cheat. I am a descendant of the Liu family of Huating. I have studied hard since I was a child and read a lot of books. How could I cheat on Chunwei?!"

Liu Yue roared, and the veins on his neck appeared.

From the great joy of climbing a high pavilion to drink a few days ago, to the great sadness of sitting in prison today, the ups and downs of life were like a heavy hammer, which almost made him cough up blood, but he could not sit still and wait for death. If this name was really confirmed, he would even If you are not beheaded, you will lose hope in the future!

Whatever rises to the top, becomes an official in the court, or writes to the Holy Emperor to regain the Chinese land, will all become like a dream and a cloud of smoke in the past!

At this moment, Liu Yue was palpitating and frightened.

The officer in official uniform glanced at him coldly, with contempt in his eyes. It was the contempt for the cheating Confucian scholar. The cheater was naturally the most despicable and despicable character.

"What are you yelling about? We are on the orders of Prime Minister Qin to capture you, not just you, but also your accomplices!"

"Then Xu Shun used his identity as a descendant of the Xu family to bribe Mr. Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, with hundreds of Yuanling Tongbao, and learned the test questions in advance. As his accomplice, how can you be wronged?"

"Stay well and don't make any noise. If you really cheat in Chunwei, you won't have many days to live. Eat enough and save some energy. It will be easier to walk on the road to hell."

The official said indifferently, then turned and walked away.

Liu Yue's whole body was cold and trembling, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xu Shun... Xu Shun is indeed distantly related to Mr. Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Liu Yue even visited Lin'an with Xu Shun.

But at that time, Mr. Xu You was not the chief examiner of Chunwei yet. Who knew that the Minister of Rites would be removed from the position of chief examiner of Chunwei, and then Mr. Xu You would take his place.

Liu Yue was numb all over. He must have never cheated, but Xu Shun didn't know.

He was implicated by Xu Shun!

"No! I have never cheated, it's not me! I, Liu Yue, am upright and talented. I answered all those questions myself!"

Liu Yue roared in fear and anger, and kept banging on the cell door, but the official ignored him at all and had already gone away. Nine out of ten people who entered the prison complained that they were wronged. If they really paid attention to it, who could? Come over?

Yesterday I experienced the extravagance and prosperity of Lin'an Mansion, but today I fell into a filthy prison and saw the darkness of Lin'an.

Liu Yue fell down on the hay, feeling numb. He only felt that the road ahead was bleak and desperate.

I really hate Xu Shun in my heart.

…

…

Qin Xiangfu.

Flowing water, flowing wine cups, green pools and pavilions reveal the scenery.

There is a pavilion in the pavilion, and there are two people playing chess under the pavilion. It was during this period that Qin Qianqiu and Wang Qinhe became the jokes of Lin'an Mansion.

During this period of time, they were ridiculed with jokes one after another, which made the friendship between the two deeper and deeper.

After Wang Qinhe was crushed and defeated by Anle, he felt depressed for several days. During this period, he was more open-minded. After all, he was not a tofu Taoist like Luo Qingchen. He recovered very quickly and his mentality was acceptable.

"Prime Minister Qin returned to the Qin Mansion yesterday. Why is the atmosphere in the manor so tense? Spring is over, shouldn't it be time to take some time off?"

Wang Qinhe asked doubtfully. When he entered the Qin Mansion today, he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion had changed.

"Could it be that Ye Wenxi challenged your brother Qin Hua'an?"

Qin Huaan is currently ranked third on the Little Saint List, and is also the most unsafe position.

The Spring Festival is over, and soon there will be the examination in front of the palace. At that time, the number one scholar in this imperial examination will be born. As Qin Qianqiu's half-brother, if Qin Hua'an can win the first place in the examination in front of the palace, not only will he be able to After losing face to the Lin Mansion, he hoped that he would still have a chance to talk to the Holy Master, which naturally attracted Prime Minister Qin's attention.

During this period, even if Prime Minister Qin loved Qin Qianqiu, he still had a lot of thoughts towards Qin Hua'an.

"Of course not. My brother is extremely talented and talented, so there is no need to worry."

"It's just that a few days ago, someone wrote a letter to report that someone in Chunwei was cheating. My father was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. They found out all the clues, so he was so angry that he didn't sleep all night."

Qin Qianqiu said slowly.

"Fraud in the Spring Palace? No wonder Prime Minister Qin is furious. As the official coordinating the Spring Palace this time, fraud occurs under the coordination, which is tantamount to damaging the prestige of the Prime Minister Qin and talking about the lax governance of the Prime Minister Qin."

Wang Qinhe was immediately surprised. The fraud in the imperial examination was by no means a trivial matter. It would even alarm the emperor in Tianxuan Palace.

"It was found out that a Jiankang Juren named Xu Shun was a distant relative of Xu You, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. He visited Xu You when he came to Lin'an. The leak must have occurred at that time."

"This was done covertly, so how could it be reported?"

Wang Qinhe was puzzled.

"Xu Shun has a good relationship with someone, Liu Shun of Huating. This person is Pei Ran, who is talented in literature, good at painting landscapes, majestic, and talented in poetry. He is known as a great talent in Huating. The two of them were drinking in Zuilong Pavilion yesterday. Maybe When drunkenness struck, he shouted that he was the first person to be awarded the title of Jinshi, and the two of them were invited to serve as officials in the imperial court, and they went straight to the top. "

Qin Qianqiu placed the pieces on the chessboard, rolled up his sleeves and drank from the West Lake Longjing.

Wang Qinhe raised his eyebrows: "It's nothing to say a few arrogant words when a man of letters is drunk..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Qianqiu's lips: "What a coincidence, yesterday the Confucian scholars in the Literary and Musical List of the Academy of Arts were all drinking to drown their sorrows. They were unhappy and depressed in the Forest of Questions. They were unhappy and depressed. The two men also said that they were related to Anle and could support each other in the court from now on... The Confucian scholars in Wenqubang reported the two men in anger. "

"Because Liu Yue, as a talented scholar from Huating, can understand this arrogance, but who does Xu Shun mean?"

"So I reported the three of them to my father on the pretext of suspecting them of cheating. My father was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and he really found out about Xu Shun..."

"But it was not Xu You who was bribed by Xu Shun, but Xu You's servant who held the lamp. However, his father was furious and brought disaster to Chi Yu, so Xu You could only admit that he was unlucky."

"And what concerns me about this matter...is that Anle is involved."

Qin Qianqiu put down the tea cup, his eyes shining.

"Anle had a good relationship with Liu Yue and traveled to the West Lake every day. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Therefore, Anle may also be involved in the Chunwei fraud case and think that he committed fraud."

Qin Qianqiu smiled.

Wang Qinhe was startled, and then rolled his eyes: "How is that possible?! Anle is extremely talented, and his calligraphy and painting are top-notch. He is famous in Lin'an. How could he cheat? Why do he need to cheat?!"

Qin Qianqiu looked at Wang Qinhe quietly: "Dirty water is pouring on him, and we are adding fuel to the flames. In addition, the testimonies of the Confucian scholars who say he cheated are cheating. How can he prove his innocence? He does have supreme talent. But maybe he wanted to go to the palace for a trial, so he committed fraud?

"Even though you have thousands of talents and eternal talents, a group of scholars all accused you of cheating and couldn't argue with you. Chunwei will not start another fight for them. Even if it is proved that he has not cheated, who cares? The world likes to watch you more. If you collapse and slip into jail, your reputation will become foul, and it will even affect your mind, and the rest will be in vain."

"Maybe Lin Mansion Hua Jie Bing will also give up on him by then. It can mess up his will and mood. Even though you lost to him in the battle of the Little Holy Order, you still have a chance to win again."

Qin Qianqiu held a chess piece and gently placed it on the chessboard.

Pushing in the direction of Wang Qin River, it made a slightly harsh friction sound.

Wang Qinhe couldn't help but be silent as he watched the chess pieces being pushed.

…

…

Taimiao Lane, small courtyard.

Anle was sitting under the old locust tree in the courtyard, his mind overflowing around him, the ink pool lying across his knees, and he was comprehending the secret skill of sword energy contained in the little holy order.

Suddenly, Anle's eyes moved slightly, ending his enlightenment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly opened them.

The sound of rapid footsteps came from the alley, and a figure ran quickly.

Soon he appeared in front of Anle.

Anle couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the visitor, because the visitor was none other than Huang Xian, the arresting head of the black yamen whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
