Chapter 11 The world is big
"you're awake?"

In Cui Shuyun's boudoir, a white figure stood by the window.

The moonlight is bright, and everything seems to be covered with a veil.

The bright moonlight shines behind the figure, like a goddess in the moon.

"Who are you?" Cui Shuyun, who had just woken up, had mist and double images in her eyes and did not recognize the person for a moment.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" the figure laughed softly.

Cui Shuyun rubbed her eyes gently and finally recognized the person.

"Second sister-in-law!"

"What's wrong with me?" Cui Shuyun patted her head.

"Hey! I can move!"

Cui Shuyun's eyes were full of surprise.

"My sleep paralysis has healed!"

"Second sister-in-law, did you save me?"

Cui Shuyun finally reacted and looked at her second sister-in-law with gratitude.

"After you fell into a coma, you were still able to sense the outside world these days?" Cui Shuyun's mumbling startled the second sister-in-law of the Cui family.

The fact that she could say that she was being sleep-paralyzed meant that Cui Shuyun was not completely unconscious.

These days, Cui Shuyun is conscious.

"Sister Yun, tell me how you feel these days!"

The second sister-in-law of the Cui family said so.

"Oh!"

Cui Shuyun had little contact with her second sister-in-law in the past.

But now, what's going on?

Cui Shuyun felt that her second sister-in-law was particularly kind.

I am also willing to listen to my second sister-in-law!

"I remember I was feeding fish in the pavilion, and suddenly a beautiful goldfish jumped up to compete for food... Then I felt dizzy and fell into the pond. My memory after that was very vague! I only remember that it seemed that Xiaowei asked someone to rescue me! Then it seemed that many people came, my mother, my eldest brother, my second brother... and many doctors came. They said I was sick and wanted to treat me. My mother kept crying... I wanted to wake up and tell her to stop crying. But I seemed to be oppressed by a ghost. I couldn't move, speak, or open my eyes. It was like this for a long, long time! Sometimes I could hear my mother and others talking, and sometimes I seemed to fall asleep! Until now, I saw my second sister-in-law!!"

Cui Shuyun talked about her feelings during the more than ten days of coma.

"Second sister-in-law, what happened to me? Did you save me?"

Cui Shuyun asked.

“You are down and out! However, I didn’t expect that you have the talent for spiritual cultivation…” The second sister-in-law of the Cui family gave Cui Shuyun a complicated look.

The talent for spiritual refining is extremely rare.

It is also difficult to discover when you are not practicing.

Therefore, even though the second sister-in-law of the Cui family had been married to the Cui family for nearly a year, she had not discovered that Cui Shuyun had the talent for spiritual cultivation.

If it wasn't for the discovery that Cui Shuyun still retained some consciousness after being hit by the Desolation Spell, the second sister-in-law of the Cui family would not have realized that Cui Shuyun actually had a talent for spiritual cultivation.

Moreover, since Cui Shuyun was able to retain some consciousness after being hit by the Fallen Spell, her original talent in spiritual cultivation must have been very high.

Unfortunately, due to the influence of the Desolation Technique, Cui Shuyun's talent for spiritual cultivation was greatly affected, and now it is unknown how much of it can be retained.

It is just like a person who has a good physique for martial arts training, but becomes disabled due to an accident before learning martial arts.

"Second sister-in-law, what are they doing...?"

Cui Shuyun turned her head inadvertently and found two old women slumped on the chairs in the room.

Looking more closely, Cui Shuyun discovered that they were all from her mother Cui.

"Don't be nervous! They're fine, they just fainted!"

"Fell asleep?!" Cui Shuyun looked at Cui's second sister-in-law curiously.

"Second sister-in-law, who are you?"

Cui Shuyun is not a fool.

"Didn't you call me your second sister-in-law? Why are you asking?"

The second sister-in-law of the Cui family looked at Cui Shuyun as if she were a fool.

"Second sister-in-law, that's not what I meant! I was asking..."

Cui Shuyun's face turned red when she was glanced at by Cui's second sister-in-law.

"Okay! I know what you want to ask!"

The second sister-in-law of the Cui family waved her hand and stopped teasing Cui Shuyun.

"I am Ai Jingxia, and I am also a true disciple of Shuoqing Temple!"

This time, Ai Jingxia did not introduce herself as the second sister-in-law of the Cui family, but instead gave her real name and also revealed her hidden identity.

"I know you are Ai Jingxia, my second sister-in-law..." Cui Shuyun was muttering in her heart, and suddenly she heard the key point.

"A true disciple of Shuoqing Temple?!" Cui Shuyun looked at her second sister-in-law.

Cui Shuyun knew Shuoqing Temple, one of the most popular Taoist temples in the capital.

Cui Shuyun often followed her mother to Shuoqing Temple to burn incense.

But at Shuoqing Temple, Cui Shuyun had never seen her second sister-in-law, nor had she ever heard of any true disciples at Shuoqing Temple.

"Shuoqing Temple is a great sect that cultivates the spirit, but there are too few people in the world who have the ability to cultivate the spirit. If people with the talent of a warrior are one in a hundred, then people who have the ability to cultivate the spirit are one in a thousand. There are so few disciples, so Shuoqing Temple is not well-known! But in terms of strength, Shuoqing Temple is by no means inferior to the famous sects in the world! We, the cultivators of the spirit, are even stronger than those reckless men who practice martial arts!"

Ai Jingxia said proudly.

"What you saw of Shuoqing Temple is only a part of our appearance in the secular world. It is run by some outer disciples with insufficient talents. The real inner disciples and true disciples are mostly devoted to cultivation and rarely show up!"

As if she saw Cui Shuyun's confusion, Ai Jingxia explained.

"Oh!"

Cui Shuyun seemed to understand but not quite.

"How about it? Do you want to see the methods of a soul cultivator?"

Ai Jingxia smiled slightly and started casting a spell without waiting for Cui Shuyun to reply.

Ai Jingxia just waved her sleeves lightly, and the world around her changed completely.

Cui Shuyun looked up and found that she and her second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia were standing in a sea of ​​flowers.

There was a large, warm sun in the sky.

Ai Jingxia waved her hand again, and the flowers in the sea of ​​flowers bloomed, flying in the wind, forming a beautiful giant rose in the air.

"What kind of trick is this?" "So powerful!"

"It's much better than the warriors!"

Cui Shuyun was extremely excited when she saw this spectacle for the first time.

"How about it? Do you want to learn?" Ai Jingxia turned her head and looked at Cui Shuyun with a smile.

"Can I learn it?" Cui Shuyun looked at her second sister-in-law in surprise.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you and accept you as an outer disciple of Shuoqing Temple. Because you have an extremely rare talent for refining the spirit!"

Ai Jingxia waved her hand, and the sea of ​​flowers disappeared.

The two returned to Cui Shuyun's dim boudoir.

Bright moonlight and the sleeping old woman.

Everything seemed to be unchanged.

"Second sister-in-law, are we back?"

Cui Shuyun touched the edge of the bed curiously.

"It's not that we're back! It's that we never left."

Ai Jingxia explained.

Ai Jingxia originally just wanted to rescue this little girl from the Cui family, who had made a good impression on her, in order to preserve their friendship.

Because of her reputation, after Ai Jingxia married into the Cui family, although the Cui family did not dare to embarrass her openly due to their consideration of Ai Jingxia's status, there was a lot of slander and gossip about her behind her back.

They thought it was very secretive, but in fact Ai Jingxia knew everything, she was just too lazy to care!
Cui Shuyun is a rare person who has never said anything bad about Ai Jingxia behind her back.

Although they didn't communicate much, Cui Shuyun was always polite and considerate every time they met.

She already had a good impression of Cui Shuyun, and now that she had discovered that Cui Shuyun possessed an extremely outstanding talent for spiritual cultivation, Ai Jingxia was prepared to teach her some magic so that she would have some ability to protect herself.

In fact, this is also because there are too few people in the world who have the ability to cultivate their spirits.

The spiritual cultivators watched as the warriors flourished.

This changed the past rule that the Dharma should not be passed on easily.

Try your best to expand the team of spirit cultivators.

There is a tacit understanding among the spirit cultivators that if they discover someone with the talent for spirit cultivation, they can first accept him as an outer disciple and teach him basic skills.

However, before teaching Cui Shuyun the magic, Ai Jingxia had to explain many things to her clearly.

"What you just saw were all illusions!"

"Illusion?" Cui Shuyun found it hard to accept.

Everything that just happened was so real.

"What else do you think? Do you really think I can change the situation?" Ai Jingxia looked at Cui Shuyun unhappily.

"If I really have such great abilities, what role do warriors have in this world? What role do the Zhu royal family have?"

Ai Jingxia continued.

"That's right. If my second sister-in-law really had such great ability, why would she marry my second brother!" Cui Shuyun muttered in a low voice.

Cui Shuyun's speech shows no emotional intelligence.

"Your second brother is not that bad!" Ai Jingxia rarely defended Cui Rongtian.

"So, second sister-in-law, you married my second brother because you were in true love, and that's why you married him?!" Seeing that Ai Jingxia was not angry but also defended her second brother, Cui Shuyun asked curiously.

Originally, as the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, marrying the illegitimate son of a fourth-rank official was a good enough marriage for the second sister-in-law. But the second sister-in-law was so capable...

Of so many people to choose from, why did he choose the second brother?

In the past, Cui Shuyun thought that her second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia had no choice because of her reputation, but now Cui Shuyun no longer dares to have such an idea.

After all, she is a little girl.

There are many romantic thoughts in my mind.

At this time, Cui Shuyun had completely ignored the bad rumors about her second sister-in-law.

My second sister-in-law is so capable, those messages must be fake and slanderous.

"Love?"

"Your second brother and I have never met before. How can there be true love?"

Ai Jingxia's words shattered Cui Shuyun's fantasy.

"Then why did you want to marry my second brother, sister-in-law? You are so capable!" Cui Shuyun asked curiously.

"I don't want to be married! I don't want to be trapped in my husband's house for the rest of my life. This world is huge. There are the Jiangnan water towns and the strange mountains and steep cliffs of the Ming Dynasty, the thousand-mile grasslands and the Dead Sea of ​​the Yuan Dynasty, the towering snow-capped mountains and the northern lights of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty... and so on. I want to go and see! And you, the Cui family, can't trap me!"

Ai Jingxia's words were full of longing.

Cui Shuyun was also attracted by the world described by Ai Jingxia.

But the next moment I was speechless!
It turns out that the second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia chose the Cui family because the Cui family was weak.

This reason is so true!

As the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, Cui Shuyun was also educated, but her understanding of the world was obviously not as good as that of the second sister-in-law of the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

The Ming Dynasty was already broad enough. Cui Shuyun only knew that there were countries outside the Ming Dynasty, but had never had a deep understanding of the scenery outside the Ming Dynasty.

I never thought about it in the past.

"As a spiritual cultivator, in addition to hard training, it is more important to see all kinds of scenery. That way, the illusions you cast will be more perfect, more difficult to break, and easier to break through to the upper realms!"

"Don't think that I just cast an illusion and don't take it seriously or underestimate these illusions. Didn't you also think that those were real and indulged in them just now?"

"Think about it, if the two of them were fighting, you could easily drag your opponent into the illusion..."

Ai Jingxia gave Cui Shuyun some time to think.

I don’t know what Cui Shuyun was thinking about, but she shuddered!
"Wait, my second sister-in-law's illusion is so powerful. If I learn her skills, can I..."

Cui Shuyun suddenly thought of something.

"Second sister-in-law, please teach me illusion!"

Cui Shuyun looked at her second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia seriously.

Ai Jingxia looked relieved.

It was worth it for her to say so much.

The team of spirit cultivators will be expanded again!
