Chapter 853: The First Appearance of Ayala Consciousness

Qinglian also understands in her heart that she is now trapped in the Holy Land of Yaochi, which is the territory of Little Kunlun. They must catch her at once. Since she is destined to be unable to escape, it is better to take this so-called Holy Land as Brother Zongyuan said. Toss it to death. Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Brother Zongyuan, that lotus smells so good, I wonder what it tastes like."

Zongyuan grinned. He jumped forward and fell into the water with a "plop". This pool doesn't look big, but the water inside is very deep. The water is slightly cold when you enter it, but you soon feel comfortable all over your body. Zong Yuan was stunned for a few times, and suddenly he let out a "pop" sound. It turned out that he felt that the injuries he suffered before were rapidly recovering under the immersion in the pool water, and the effect was no less than Qing Lian's magical power of life.

"Honey, come down and take a bath!" Zongyuan shouted, winking at Qinglian as he spoke.

Qinglian's face turned red and she spat: "Brother Zongyuan is the most unruly man. He still wants to joke at this time." Even though she said this, she still shyly got into the pool and the two of them soaked in it while looking at each other.

Zong Yuan looked at his future wife's charming appearance and suddenly sighed and said, "Honey, it would be a pity if you die like this. I haven't officially married you yet."

Qinglian looked at him tenderly and said softly: "Brother Zongyuan, from the day the master decided our marriage, I have been your woman. It's a pity that I am still young and cannot have children like my master's wife."

Zong Yuan actually wants to say that you are a good girl. In fact, you are not young anymore and have grown up early. But before she could say these words, Qinglian reached out with her little hand and grabbed the huge lotus pod. When someone touches the lotus pod, it suddenly shines brightly, and thorns of light spurt out. But the strange thing is that these light thorns did not affect Qinglian at all, but were wrapped around her wrist like a wrist guard.

Qinglian looked surprised and said, "Brother Zongyuan, this lotus pod is so strange. It seems to be close to me."

"Getting close to you?" Zong Yuan was stunned and reached out to touch him. But as soon as he touched it, the light thorns trembled, and he felt a sharp pain like pins and needles. First his fingers, and then his whole body went numb, and he immediately sank to the bottom of the water. Qinglian was startled, quickly held him up, and asked anxiously: "Brother Zongyuan, are you okay?"

Zhang Zongyuan had a strange expression on his face and said, "That's strange, why is it so cruel to me?"

Qinglian thought for a while and said, "I feel that this lotus pod has extremely high wisdom."

"A lotus seed also has wisdom?" Zongyuan curled his lips, expressing disbelief.

"It's true. When I touched it, I felt very comfortable. It seemed that the eighth consciousness, which I had never been able to grasp, was showing signs of being revealed." Qinglian said very seriously.

Zongyuan sniffed and said, "Whether it's smart or not, I think these lotus seeds must be delicious. Wife, pick one quickly."

Qinglian smiled slightly, counted on the lotus head, and said, "There are only seven lotus seeds on it. Each lotus seed has a color. Brother Zongyuan, which color do you eat?"

Zongyuan rubbed his nose: "Eat the red one. It looks like a big cherry. It might be sour."

"Well, if you eat a blue one, will it taste like blueberry?" Qing Lian pursed her lips and smiled, picked them lightly with her little hands, and immediately picked two lotus seeds, and threw the red one to Zong Yuan. .

The lotus seeds are as big as longans, crystal clear and fragrant. Zongyuan was already a little hungry, so he didn't appreciate it much. He swallowed it in one bite and chewed it a few times. His mouth was full of fragrance, and all the pores in his body seemed to be loosened. He felt extremely comfortable. .

"Oh, it's so delicious. Let's have another one."

Qinglian also ate it, and she felt even better than Zongyuan. She closed her eyes and said softly: "It feels so beautiful. I have never eaten such delicious food."

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them felt hot all over and their mouths became dry for a while. Zongyuan tugged all over his body twice and shouted, "I'm going to die from the heat!"

Qinglian also made a sad face and said, "I'm hot too."

At this moment, the two of them heard the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, and their expressions changed. Zong Yuan said bitterly: "Those bastards must be chasing after them. Qinglian, let's hide!" He gestured to her to take off the remaining lotus seeds.

Qinglian shook her little hand and picked the remaining five lotus seeds. Then the two of them nodded and dived into the water, and their figures disappeared in an instant.

After a dozen breaths, Jiang Ziguang approached the pool with a nervous expression. When he saw the lotus leaf in the center of the pool, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he murmured: "The great master actually succeeded! These are ancient lotus seeds left over from the mythical era. Legend has it that they were the sacred treasures that grew in the Yaochi! "

But the excitement didn't last for a few seconds, and his expression suddenly changed, because he saw that there were no lotus seeds in the lotus pods. Where did the lotus seeds go? Didn't it come out?

"How could this happen?" His heart suddenly sank, and his face turned ashen. "Did the lotus pods not bear the seeds, or were they picked by those two children? It shouldn't be! This lotus pod is a sacred thing, and it cannot be done except by the power of manifesting the saints. But if they didn’t pick it, why didn’t I know? If the great master picked the lotus seeds, shouldn’t I have known about it?”

His expression was changing, and it was difficult to make a judgment for a while. He actually stayed beside the lotus pond and remained motionless for a long time.

Zong Yuan and Qing Lian dived deeper and deeper into the water, and the water temperature became lower and lower. In the end, it almost condensed into ice, and the two of them were so cold that their teeth chattered. Fortunately, when they were about to give up, they found a mud hole next to them. The mud under the lotus pond was very special, as crystal clear as emerald. Without thinking much, the two turned around and got into the mud hole. This way, at least it was better than being caught by the people above.

The mud hole was very narrow at first, only enough for one person to pass through. But after swimming for more than ten meters, it gradually opened up, and then it tilted upward. The two kept swimming upward, and after a few minutes, they came out of the water and entered a soil cave. The soil in the soil cave was red, like red crystal, very solid. And the soil cave was huge, like a large dome warehouse.

Zong Yuan looked around and found that there was another hole tilted upward on the cave wall, so he said to Qing Lian: "Qing Lian, your spiritual sense is stronger than mine, check where that hole leads to."

Qing Lian nodded, and after a little concentration, the spiritual sense dispersed and walked out along the cave path. After a breath or so, she showed a happy expression: "Brother Zong Yuan, this hole can lead directly to the outside. But I'm not sure where the outside is, but at least we can leave here."

Zong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! No matter where we go, it's better than this ghost place." As he was talking, he felt something under his feet, so he bent down and reached out to touch it, and actually touched out a small turtle the size of a matchbox. On the back of this little turtle, there are naturally mysterious runes, which contain the essence of Taoism.

"Hey, it's a little turtle, there are turtles in this place?" Zong Yuan was surprised.

The little turtle originally shrunk its head, and gradually, it poked out its snake-like head and looked at Zong Yuan curiously, with its red mung bean eyes very bright. Its head seemed to have rune-like patterns, which were extremely strange. After looking at it for a long time, I actually felt dizzy.

"Wow, so cute!" Qinglian took the little turtle and put it in her palm to play with it.

Zong Yuan found that the heat in his body was getting stronger again, and said, "Qinglian, I need to regulate my breath. Wait for me for a while."

Qinglian had a similar feeling. After Zong Yuan regulated his breath for a while, she also sat down cross-legged, holding the little turtle in her hand and entering into a state of concentration. When the two entered into a state of concentration, they gradually felt an inexplicable force appearing in their sea of ​​consciousness, which seemed to open their minds. Unconsciously, Zong Yuan felt that his true power was surging, and it seemed that he was about to break through. He was surprised and happy, and immediately rushed through with all his strength.

After about an hour, Zong Yuan felt that his true power suddenly jumped, and the depth was stronger. At the same time, the divine power in his body also rose, and it increased by at least 30% compared with the previous level. He successfully advanced to the twelfth level of Taiqing true power.

Qinglian's cultivation did not improve, but she clearly saw the eighth consciousness, the Ayala consciousness.

Ayala consciousness is the eighth consciousness of human beings. Buddhism believes that all sentient beings have nine consciousnesses. The first five consciousnesses are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. They belong to sensory consciousness and can sense specific objects. The sixth consciousness is consciousness, which is the distinction between the first five consciousnesses and the distinction of past Dharma dust. The seventh consciousness is the bridge between the first six consciousnesses and the eighth consciousness, called the transport consciousness or the transmission consciousness. From the perspective of reincarnation in Buddhism, each seventh consciousness corresponds to a sentient being in reincarnation. Every time a sentient being reincarnates, the seventh consciousness will change.

The eighth consciousness is different. The eighth consciousness is the fundamental consciousness. No matter how many times sentient beings reincarnate, the eighth consciousness will not change. It will only accumulate causal karma as the number of reincarnations increases and the amount of experience in the world increases. The eighth consciousness is still a combination of reality and delusion. An Ayala consciousness that has not been contaminated by the first seven consciousnesses is a pure consciousness and a wisdom root. It's just that everyone's eighth consciousness is more or less contaminated by the first seven consciousnesses, so there are more false elements, more likes and dislikes, and more differences in likes and dislikes.

Therefore, some great powers of the three religions can cut off the karma in the eighth consciousness, which is called cutting off karma. This is a very remarkable way of attaining the Tao. Such people must belong to the stream of great saints. This method of cutting off karma is considered the absolute cutting of the three corpses in Taoism. Zhang Jun broke through the mental barrier at the beginning, which was the first cutting of the three corpses.

Qinglian's eighth consciousness gradually became clear. She saw that countless karmas were entangled in the eighth consciousness, and they were entangled endlessly. These karmas include her current life, her past generations, and her future generations. The past, present, and future are the three corpses. They are all false to practitioners, the world, and the stinking skin. They don't need to be taken too seriously and can all be abandoned.

Seeing the karma, Qinglian sighed softly, feeling as if she was in a sea of ​​suffering. If she was ruthless, she could cut off the worldly ties with a knife at this time and live freely from then on. However, she was not determined after all, just because she had someone in her heart.
