Zhen Yin's residence is located on the east side of Tiannan mansion. It is a quiet valley. There is nothing unusual outside the valley. Inside, flowers are in full bloom. Before entering the valley, people's hearts are filled with a strong fragrance.
On the right side of the valley is a large medicinal field. When Xu Shaotang comes with Zhen Yin, many people are taking care of the medicinal field.
Apart from the people who manage the medicine fields, there are no other people in the valley.
But Xu Shaotang knows that the guard of the valley is very strict. In the invisible place, Xu Shaotang can clearly feel several breath.
There is an artificial lake in the valley. In the center of the lake is an island. A wooden bridge connects to the island directly from the bank, and Zhen Yin's residence is on the island.
The mansion, in fact, is just a living courtyard. The courtyard is hidden in the shade of the island, and it complements the surrounding environment. It seems to give people a natural feeling.
In this valley, it gives people a sense of paradise.
"It's a good place."
With Zhen Yin into the courtyard, Xu Shaotang said with emotion.
Zhen Yin smiles and says, "I'm used to seclusion most of the time."
With that, Zhen Yin said to the empty courtyard: "miao'er, prepare good food and wine as soon as possible!"
"Yes
A clear female voice rings out. Xu Shaotang goes along with her reputation, but after seeing the green shade, a beautiful shadow leaves quickly. She should have sent someone to prepare food and wine.
Looking at Xu Shaotang's eyes, Zhen Yin said with a smile, "this is my adopted daughter Zhen Miao. She is always taking care of my daily life."
"Zhen Miao, how wonderful! Good name Xu Shaotang laughs and withdraws his eyes. At the same time, he curiously asks Zhen Yin, "is Dan Jun's seclusion a secret practice to study alchemy, or to improve his cultivation?"
"It's mostly about improving cultivation."
Zhen Yin invited Xu Shaotang to sit down in front of the stone platform in the courtyard and sighed softly: "I boasted that before I met Zunjia, I really had nothing to specialize in alchemy. In the past, Zhai danjun left behind countless prescriptions and ancient alchemy books. I had already finished what I could learn. As for those who could not learn, I could only learn after becoming a saint. There was no real fire of saints There is the legacy left by Zhai danjun, and I can only look and sigh. "
Listening to Zhen Yin's words, Xu Shaotang could not help nodding his head and said: "whether it's Dan Dao or Wu Dao, in the end, they all come to the same goal by different routes. We still need to return to Wu Dao."
He also knew that in order to become a master of alchemy, he had to refine the holy elixir, and in order to refine the holy elixir, he had to refine it with the sage's real fire. Therefore, if he was a master of alchemy, he must also be a saint. Therefore, if Zhen Yin wanted to follow Zhai Tiandao's steps to become a master of alchemy, he had no choice but to become a saint.
In fact, the alchemist's personal cultivation should be improved faster than ordinary people, but the result is not so. For example, the four elders who fought with Xu Shaotang were the four elders of Dan League, but they were only celestial beings. If they were the elders of Xiandao League and Mormon, they would be the great Luo Jinxian.
In fact, the reason is that many alchemists put most of their energy on alchemy and neglect to improve their cultivation. To some extent, they have deviated from the direction.
However, it is difficult and difficult to become a saint. Instead of pursuing illusory becoming a saint, it is better to concentrate on the study of alchemy.
Therefore, there is no final conclusion on whether this practice is correct or not. It just depends on how the individual pursues it.
"All roads lead to the same goal?"
Zhen Yin savored Xu Shaotang's words carefully, then said with a hearty laugh: "respect the extraordinary person, just a word to express the essence of Dan Dao!"
Xu Shaotang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Dan Jun, don't call me that. Just call me Xu Shaotang."
Although Zhen Yin's honorific name was a bit awkward after hearing it for a long time.
"No way!" Zhen Yin shook his head and said, "although Zunjia is not a master of alchemy, his attainments in some aspects are already above me, the king of Dan. It's really inappropriate to call him a taboo."
Xu Shaotang is speechless. What's wrong with this? He never likes the red tape, and he doesn't pay so much attention to it.
Looking at Xu Shaotang's speechless look, Zhen Yin thought a little. Suddenly, he had an idea and said with a smile, "since you don't like this name, how about calling you little brother? Although this is the first time we meet, there is a sense of deja vu. If you don't dislike it, you will call me brother and I will call you little brother. "
"All right!"
Xu Shaotang thought about it and nodded his head. This title is at least more agreeable than "Zunjia".
While they were talking, Zhen Miao, who was dressed in plain white, came with a tray of wine and vegetables. Her steps were very light, like stepping on the waves. Her pretty face was indifferent, like a fairy who was banished from the dust for nine days, without a trace of fireworks in the world.
"Miao'er, I'd like to introduce you to my father. This little brother is Xu Shaotang!" Zhen Yin smiles to Zhen Miao, who quietly puts food and wine, and then says to Xu Shaotang, "this is your elder brother, my adopted daughter Zhen Miao. This girl usually has less contact with outsiders, and her temper is a little bit weak. Don't be surprised, little brother.""It's really light."
Xu Shaotang smiles gently.
Different from the general high cold, Zhen Miao's temperament is lighter than water, as if she didn't care about anything and didn't eat fireworks. Xu Shaotang noticed that she didn't even look at herself from the beginning to the end, but quietly put wine and vegetables on the stone table.
When the food and wine were ready, she picked up the wine pot and filled their glasses. Then she stood by quietly holding the glass. There was no unnecessary words, and she could not see any waves in her eyes.
With a helpless smile, Zhen Yin waved her hand to Zhen Miao and said, "you don't have to wait here. Go down and do your own business first."
"Yes
She could not say a word, but would not say two words. She gently put down the wine pot and saluted Zhen Yin slightly. Then she stepped back. Soon, her figure disappeared in the shade.
Xu Shaotang is slightly surprised. He says in his heart, Zhen Miao, this should not be light tempered. How can he feel a bit like autism?
"Ah, this girl..."
Looking at the disappearing direction of Zhen Miao's figure, Zhen Yin sighed helplessly, "little brother, you don't believe me. Although I live here with this girl, I can't say a few words all year round."
"I don't even talk to you much?"
Xu Shaotang's eyes were full of surprise. His eyes turned slightly and he asked, "what does she usually do here? Just one person in a daze? "
