757 Looking at Changsan Part II (2/2)
He could sense the magnificence, and could even seemingly touch those highest rules. But he did not know how to describe the feeling. What word should he use... the taste of life, or the power of fire?
He did not know how to move that aura, but at least he had a starting point.
Most importantly, this was the first time he had truly sensed that aura.
At that moment, he had the same thought as his teacher and many other predecessors.
That was why he was in a good mood.
He saw Mo Shanshan who was on the other end of the street.
Mo Shanshan watched Chang'an from the city walls. She had stayed up for the whole night, so she seemed tired.
Ning Que walked to the Bun Shop and bought two hot meat buns and walked to her.
”Beef and carrot filling. Two coins for each.”
He handed the bun to Mo Shanshan.
She accepted it with both hands.
Her hands were rather small, and her cotton dress was a little loose for her. Her sleeves draped over half her palms.
The bun was very big, she had to use two hands to hold it.
She carefully peeled off the paper from the bun and took a cautious bite.
She was very focused and adorable.
They arrived before the southern gates.
They climbed up the city wall and looked at Chang'an in the autumn wind again.
”Have you ever had that experience that Chinese characters look weirder and weirder as you repeatly stare at them? No matter their appearance or structure, they don't look like the same characters anymore.”
”Of course.”
”I thought it was because I had formed a habit from deconstructing the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong.”
Ning Que looked at the city bathed in morning light and continued, ”But for the last two days, after looking at Chang'an for a prolonged period, I discovered that this was something very natural.”
Mo Shanshan said, ”I have only looked at it for a night, but Chang'an is no longer a city to me.”
”Is it a talisman or an array?”
”Neither. I think it is a person.”
Mo Shanshan looked at the streets and buildings of the city and continued, ”He is called Chang'an, and many of his acupoints in his Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi have been blocked. He is waiting for us to help cure him and unblock his acupoints.”
After a moment of silence, Ning Que said, ”This is a very interesting way to put it. Just like how I had... But because of this, I know that it is almost impossible to unblock the Qi orifice of an ordinary person.”
”But you still did it.”
Mo Shanshan looked at him and said, ”That is why I intend to use your method to cure Chang'an.”
Ning Que thought of all the things that had happened. Actually, he was still unsure of why his acupoints in the Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi had suddenly become unblocked and why he could cultivate.
Mo Shanshan looked at the sky and said, ”Chang'an's Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi is the heaven and earth. We do not have the ability to order both heaven and earth, so we can only allow them to do it on their own.”
