Chapter 103 Seeking Medical Help (1/2)

Speaking of the youth’s appearance, it would be fitting to call it ‘magnificent’.

But even when Ruoxi was delicately beautiful, Shen Lian has an unconventionally graceful demeanor, they were still tacky compared to him.

The youth entered and introduced himself first. His surname was ‘Zhao’ and his name was one word, ‘Xiang’. He then asked for Shen Lian’s name. His words have an appeal to it, which causes others to unconsciously take a liking to him.

Shen Lian observed without the other knowing and he noticed that it had something to do with the purple Qi on him. That purple Qi, not visible to the normal person, permeated a kind of aura that could infect the person’s mind to make him feel closer to him.

To put into common saying, this was called the ‘kingly Qi’.

Since the beginning of time, many founding Emperors had similar auras. Even though it was obvious that they did not have any kind of heritage or inside information, people would still go lengths and beyond while rendering their services.

Shen Lian’s psyche cultivation experience was especially high, his heart and soul was acute and was exceptionally sensitive to this. It was obvious that there was no any devilry but its effect was similar to the Dao skills that were used to enchant people’s mind.

Like him, even when he understood the cause of it, but because he did not hold any prejudice towards the person, so there was an unexplained good feeling being developed.

He already determined that Zhao Xiang was a member of the royal family, that he was a hidden dragon in the deep.

It was just that compared to his initial encounter with Zhao Xiang, even though the purple Qi was not that healthy and vigorous, it was unusually stable, but then, it was drifting.

As though some unforeseen events had appeared on him.

Today, Zhao Xiang came and searched for Shen Lian to discuss about Dao. Dawei believed in Daoism but the Empress sided more towards Buddhism. That was due to personal preference and even political considerations.

However, now, besides the eight main schools of Buddhism, two more orders appeared, the first was called Jingtu, another was called Foxin.

The Foxin sect absorbed many of the abstruse aims of Daoism, it could even be said that it was Daoism wearing a Buddhism skin. It was unique of both Daoism and Buddhism and at the same time, the Foxin sect’s doctrine was an even better fit to the taste of the rich and powerful who believed in Daoism.

Zhao Xiang argued about the abstruse in an imposing manner. Nonetheless, Shen Lian was extensively learned, he spoke about Zen and too talked about the abstruse, widely quoting the many ancient philosophers. There were moments when he had a stroke of genius which scattered Zhao Xiang’s imposing manner that the other had accumulated.

This went on for three days. He would come every early morning and leave before noon.

This person still did not reveal his purpose but Shen Lian rather felt that Zhao Xiang was being really patient.

But today, the other would certainly say his request.

Perhaps, this would be his first patient in Shendu to save.

The imperial city was a profound land of vanity and karma. But when Shen Lian was studying the history books on earth, there was no lacking of enlightened connoisseur that had relations with kings and emperors.

There was Guang Chengzi who Huangdi asked about Dao, Zhang Liang who helped the Han Emperor, Liu Bang, Zhou Dian and Zhang Sanfeng even consecutively helped the two Ming Dynasty Emperors of the house of Zhu.

These so-called enlightened connoisseurs, by right, should take fame and fortune lightly but why would they get involved with these kinds of disputes, Shen Lian vaguely came to a realization.

The change of the Qi dynamic of the land follows the change of allegiance within the land of the country. To obey the emperor, to summit to destiny, it was a once in a lifetime experience to be able to oversee and comprehend the important switch of this world.

The Feng Shui tactical formation of Shendu was one of the highest quality of art like nature itself. The principles within the deep layers were incomprehensible, perhaps there would be another day when the Feng Shui tactical formation would have a serious implication on it. By then, it would be the key for him to be able to catch the meaning of nature and master the harmonious existence of the eight Qi.

It all came down to a chance to try since Zhao Xiang voluntarily came to him, Shen Lian would not mind playing the part of Zhang Liang.

Furthermore, there was half of a bloodline of the Zhao family in Ruoxi.

Even though he had this intention, he never showed.

Zhao Xiang borrowed Shen Lian’s Guqin to play. Even though he was a strapping fellow, the Qin sound was very elegant, his posture accentuates one of a noble.
