Chapter 25: Observe the Way and Use the Technique Prince Qing summoned Chen Chuanshan to come up. He originally wanted to ask him about Gu Yuanqing, but after seeing this scene, he knew that Chen Chuanshan probably didn't know much. If he wanted to know more, he had to go back to the palace and ask the emperor. Chen Chuanshan noticed the smile on Prince Qing's face, but when the Grandmaster attacked, what could he, a mere Zhenwu seventh level, do? He couldn't even see the shadow of the person, so he had to suppress his grievances and asked, "Your Majesty asked me to come here, but what are your instructions?" Prince Qing pondered for a moment and said, "There are six sects coming to Beiquan Mountain this time. Have you arranged their accommodation?" Chen Chuanshan said: "In Beiquan Mountain, there are 21 courtyards used by elders, deacons, and true disciples to live in, 96 townhouses for inner disciples, and dozens of rooms for outer disciples and servants. They have all been cleared out. Even if hundreds of people come, there is still room for them. I have asked people to count all these things." Prince Qing nodded and said, "In that case, Master Gu's courtyard should be left empty." "Yes, my subordinates know." "Also, the closest sect to this place is Qingluan Sect, which should arrive almost tomorrow. There are mostly women in Qingluan Sect, and their behavior is quite strange. You should ask the soldiers to be more careful. The people in the sect are not like those in the army, so don't cause unnecessary conflicts. After all, the court still needs to borrow some of them." "My subordinate understands." ……
Behind the mountain is the Siguo Cliff. Gu Yuanqing stood on the cliff holding a sword. The mountain stream was windy and violent, but his body was as steady as a pillar. Then he performed a set of sword techniques, using the Great Easy Illusionary Sky Step. The long sword appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and each sword stabbed out from the unimaginable. This was the first time the skinny old man had seen Gu Yuanqing use a sword after several months, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost. "What kind of swordsmanship is this? How can it be so weird!?" He brought himself into it, and his expression became extremely ugly. If he faced such swordsmanship, he was afraid that he could not even withstand three moves. The Beidou swordsmanship that he was proud of seemed to have flaws everywhere in this swordsmanship. In an instant, the old man felt hopeless. Seeing Gu Yuanqing's swordsmanship, he even wondered, what would happen even if he found the secret library of Beiquan Sword Sect? In fact, it is not surprising. If he had changed to another sword technique, it might not be so surprising. But Gu Yuanqing's sword technique was deduced from countless sword battles with the Beiquan Sword School, relying on his unparalleled swordsmanship talent. It is not an exaggeration to say that these sword moves were created with the purpose of breaking the Beiquan Sword School's sword techniques! Gu Yuanqing naturally noticed that the old man was watching him practice sword, but at this time he no longer cared. The Zhenwu master who was once difficult to match and hidden here is nothing to him now. After finishing his sword practice, Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged on the cusp of the wind, feeling the unique sensation under the strong wind. He discovered that although he was looking at the same mountain from the front mountain and from the back mountain, the feelings he felt were completely different. When he was in Qianshan, what he "saw" was the nourishment of heaven and earth, and the vigorous vitality everywhere. At this moment, what he "saw" was the competition between heaven and earth. There were birds spreading their wings to protect their young, and there were insects trying to hold on to rocks with their feet to avoid being blown away by the mountain wind. Various weeds and trees grow on the cliffs, trying their best to seize every chance of survival! These things were not "invisible" before, but they were "seen" but not noticed. People always subconsciously pay attention to what they want to see and ignore things they think are unimportant. Just today, he realized that the so-called master was actually himself. So a leaf can block one's view of the mountain. The realization brought by today's experience is like removing the leaf that has been covering his eyes, allowing him to truly see Beiquan Mountain and himself clearly.
Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged there all night, without moving, until the next morning when the sunlight fell on his cheeks and he opened his eyes. There is a natural agility in his eyes that is free from all dross. He stood up and looked around, with a look of touched joy on his face: "So this is the real Beiquan Mountain, and this is the real Beiquan Mountain Master." "Auntie Feng, just put the hot water there." Gu Yuanqing said softly without turning back. The middle-aged woman smiled, nodded, placed the basin of hot water on a stone, turned and left, but after two steps, she stopped. "Just now... just now I heard someone talking?" She suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Yuanqing, and found that Gu Yuanqing was still standing there. "It must be my illusion. How could I hear people talking?" Feng Tao left with confusion. After a while, Gu Yuanqing came to the basin and washed his face with hot water. His head, face, and clothes were covered with dust blown up by the strong wind. Suddenly he thought of something, was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, and then lightly snapped his fingers, and the dust and dirt on his body flew away from him, then gathered into a ball, flew out of the cliff, and fell down. And Gu Yuanqing's body was spotless! His eyes fell on a newly sprouted green grass. As his mind moved, he saw the tender bud slowly open. Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "So, this is also controlling objects! People's understanding is always subject to their original cognition. This is the so-called knowledge barrier." He walked back into the house and waved his hand gently, and countless dust flew out of the house in an orderly manner. "In the past, I always wanted to control something with my mind, but in fact, I have fallen into the lower level. Observing the mountain and controlling things are about seeing and using. When observing the mountain, I see the mysteries of the changes of all things in Beiquan Mountain, and controlling is not a simple control, but observing its mysteries and using them. In other words, it is to observe its way and use its technique." Gu Yuanqing's mind was clear, and his unparalleled understanding gradually revealed its edge, as if he was in a state close to enlightenment at all times. At this time, Beiquan Mountain welcomed new people. A large group of well-trained servants arrived in the morning, and a steward under Prince Qing was responsible for giving speeches and arranging affairs. At about three quarters after twilight in the afternoon, a group of women walked into Beiquan Mountain. These women were dressed differently, some were flamboyant and unrestrained, some were elegant, like talented ladies, and some were indifferent, keeping people at a distance. "My lord, why don't you dare look at me? Do you think I'm too ugly to be looked at?" A barefoot woman in white swayed with every step, her delicate tone sounding as if she was about to cry. The soldier's face turned red and he dared not say much. Before receiving these women, the general had already made instructions. If one really thought that these women were dissolute and wanted to take advantage of others, then he was wrong. Sometimes, if he stretched out his hands without permission, he would die without knowing how. "Elder Guo, we soldiers are no different from the people in the martial arts world. I think you should remind your disciples not to overstep the boundaries." A lieutenant general who was welcoming the guests said with a frown. The leader, Elder Guo, was dressed in red. She turned around and snorted coldly: "Everyone, be quiet." The team was quiet for a moment, but within half a quarter of an hour, the team returned to normal and was full of chatter and excitement. Elder Guo was furious. She turned around and shouted, "Whoever speaks again will have to pay for all the rouge and powder he has to buy this time!"
