Dao Fruit

"Huh? What's going on?"

Qiu Yan felt a spinning force coming from the travel notes, and his own soul was actually being affected, and he was about to be pulled out of his body!

"It's so weird!"

Just for a moment, Qiu Yan had a flash of surprise and thought, and articles from his soul rolled out, spinning around and freezing his soul.

However, there is still a trace of perception that has been partially extracted from the living soul, falling into the whirlpool, spinning, following the various artistic conceptions in the three paintings, and falling into the travel notes.

In an instant, hazy light and shadow appeared in the perception, and the feeling of being submerged in water emerged in my heart.

"Um?"

Qiu Yan was surprised, and then he concentrated. While stilling his soul, he focused his mind on perception, feeling the information coming back from the few strands of perception that had been torn away.

These few feelings have already penetrated deeply into the travel notes.

Qiu Yan had tried to infiltrate this picture with living souls before, but it could not allow living souls and thoughts to enter like the Soul Locking Picture. There was no conscious space in the picture, but now, the situation has changed.

Those few sensations sank slowly, as if they were floating and sinking in water, and there were cool and obscure fluctuations coming from the surroundings, as if they were eternal.

Qiu Yan calmed down and was not impatient. He still concentrated on sensing and feeling.

Shen! Shen! Shen!

After about half a cup of tea, when all the senses were about to be exhausted, there was finally a change!

shock!

He felt the surroundings vibrate, and then, the feeling of Izuku's separation came over, giving Qiu Yan a sense of lightness as he escaped from a closed space, as if he had passed through a membrane in an instant.

After that, the information and scenery that were conveyed changed drastically. A gentle breeze blew, sunshine spread everywhere, wisps of water mist drifted, crystal springs danced in the sky, and layers of clouds and mist undulated. In the distance, there are pavilions and pavilions one after another, with green smoke curling up, and they are beautiful.

What is even more surprising is that these pavilions are suspended in mid-air, rising and falling in the clouds and mist.

"Are these?"

Feeling these scenery, Qiu Yan's heart was shocked, and he was flooded with mixed thoughts.

Suddenly, a stinging pain erupted in his soul, and the next moment, Qiu Yan's connection with those few senses was suddenly severed.

Stimulated by the sting, he came back to his senses and looked at the travel book.

The invisible whirlpool in the travel notes has dissipated, and the thoughts of people's wishes entangled in the last picture have become almost non-existent.

Turning his head and looking to the side, Qiu Yan discovered that the three paintings left by Ma Yang had also changed. The three different ideas that filled them had disappeared and turned into three ordinary paintings.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan couldn't help but frown.

"I didn't expect that such a change would happen. That travelogue actually absorbed the charm of the three paintings. It's a pity that there are three masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. The old prime minister left the paintings behind, probably to help me calm down. Now this happens If there is a chance, I should make amends to Lao Xiangguo and give him compensation."

After the thought fell, his eyes returned to the travel notes. He took a deep breath and calmed down. Then he recalled the shocking glimpse in just a short period of time, and doubts arose in his heart.

"I wonder if the scene just now was an illusion, or some kind of magic, or maybe there's something else going on... If that's the case, then the secrets hidden in this travelogue are even more extraordinary than I imagined..."

Qiu Yan remembered the results of his previous investigations.

"Now it seems that this picture does not hide the world of consciousness, but is most likely a door. However, it is not easy to find out. This time it is a coincidence. With the help of Mr. Ma's three pictures , I don’t know when I want to open it next time, but what happened this time also reminded me that at least I have a direction, but I shouldn’t be too distracted now, and I should stick to the original plan. ”

With this thought in mind, he took the travel notes back into his arms, took out a few books from the nearby bookshelf, and studied them carefully.

There are many books in Ma Yang's study, including a collection of classics and history. In the past two years, Qiu Yan has come here several times to organize and catalog them. He rarely has the opportunity to study quietly, so casual reading like this is particularly rare.

For more than ten days after that, Qiu Yan lived in the study room. Even the food was prepared by the cook in the courtyard and delivered by the nursing home.

In the blink of an eye, it's early April, and the date of this Taoist test is mid-April, with less than ten days left.

At this time, Qiu Yan finally stopped studying hard, walked out of the study, tidied up, and left the Ma family yard.

Before leaving, he also had a few words with the two nursing staff.

In the past two years, Qiu Yan has been to Ma's courtyard many times. He knows that these two nurses are actually masters of life cultivation. Just because they listened to Ma Yang reciting official history at night, they entered the hospital for investigation, but were restrained by Shen Weisheng. , and then somehow became the guardian of the Ma family yard.

According to Ma Yang's instructions, Qiu Yan will prepare to go to Yuanning Fucheng to take the Taoist test, while the two guards will regain their freedom.

However, these two people were worried that it would be bad if any of the books in the study were lost after they left, so they insisted on guarding them for a few more months.

"Lu He and Feng Yue, these two are entrusted by others and are loyal to others. Their conduct is worthy of admiration."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan arrived at his yard. Liu Huai and others happened to be there. The family met and there was a lot of excitement. Not long after, Zhang Zhen, who had received the news, also rushed over. First, he relayed the condolences from the prefect and Mr. Sun. , and then ask for calligraphy treasures.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "My calligraphy is not perfect yet, but after a month of hard study, I have found the flaws. After this Dao test, it should be qualified to be framed."

"Oh?" Zhang Zhen was stunned at first, and then his face showed joy, "That's great. Now your writing skills have reached such a level, brother Qiu. I really look forward to how much you can improve after practicing. In this case, I won't force it. I came here for another thing. In a few days, you will leave for the capital city to participate in the Dao test. It happens that I also want to go to Yuanning. Why don't you and I take the same car? What do you think?"

After two years of friendship, Qiu Yan realized that the family behind Zhang Zhen was actually very wealthy. The other party said this out of good intentions to save himself from bumpy rides.

After figuring this out, Qiu Yan didn't act pretentiously and thanked him on the spot. After the two of them agreed, Zhang Zhen chatted with Liu Huai and Liu Yue for a while. Then a servant of the Zhang family came over and whispered a few words to Zhang Zhen, who slightly changed color and left.

Not long after Zhang Zhen left, the sun set and the moon rose, and the family sat around a table.

During the meal, Liu Huai asked Qiu Yan about his studies many times. He had never been to school, so the most asked question was -

"Are you confident in this exam? Can you pass it?"

It has been two years since he came to Qingchang. Because of Qiu Yan, Liu Huai is respected, and Liu Yue also found an easy job in the county government, which made them truly realize the benefits of "studying".

However, people often talk about Qiu Yan's lack of scholar status, which inevitably makes Liu Huai and others worry, fearing that Qiu Yan will not do well in the exam this time, and everything will go back to the past. Not only Liu Huai, but also Qiu Yan's aunt and uncle, all put down their chopsticks and looked nervous after hearing this question.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly froze.

"No problem," Qiu Yan said calmly, "Don't forget, I have often discussed learning with Prime Minister Ma in the past two years. The Prime Minister is a great scholar in the literary world and has given me many pointers. How could I be stumped by a test?"

He knew that at this time, no matter how much he said, it would be better to mention Ma Yang. Ma Yang's reputation and popularity were there, which was authority, more convincing than any reason.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the family suddenly felt relaxed, and the worries in their hearts disappeared.

"The power of reputation is so great." Qiu Yan smiled and said no more.

Talking and laughing, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan's face changed slightly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and stood up.

"What's wrong?" Liu Huai asked.

"Nothing, you guys eat first, I'll be back soon." Qiu Yan said as he pushed the door open and walked to the corner of the yard. He kicked his feet and rose up from the ground, then turned and landed on the roof.

Under the moonlight, a figure holding a sword stood on the roof.

This person had his back to Qiu Yan, and waited until Qiu Yan stepped on the roof tiles before turning around.

Qiu Yan recognized him at a glance. This person was the one he had seen once before -

Shanglingdao, Xi Yun.
