…………………………………………………………………………………
In the dead silence of the night, Hua Chenzi sat motionless, with a layer of frost covering her body, and a familiar faint smile on her icy cheek.
A woman who is a headache and causes constant trouble can also be quiet sometimes, which is really rare!
Looking at the woman who was as quiet as a jade sculpture a few feet away, Lin Yi did not feel relieved, but frowned slightly. Hua Chenzi's hands in her sleeves were still holding the jade bottle she tried to use to protect herself, but she sat quietly on the ground, as if she had melted into the haze and would never wake up again. The vitality in her body was weak and gradually passed away.
Lin Yi turned and looked around, his expression alert. The endless cold and tiredness kept coming, making him drowsy again, and he only wanted to fall into the state of forgetting life and death. He was shocked, and as the blood light flashed in his phantom pupils, his mind gradually became clear.
Sitting quietly with an empty mind, forgetting both the self and the world, one can go up to the light and down to the remote, forget about life and death... Is this the root of Tao?
People follow nature, live in time, and die in accordance with it. The dead are gone, leaving the living to continue the journey. The so-called inheritance of the torch is just like this! Instead of following everything in the past, why not go on your own way!
The situation that I have experienced is like a dream, but what I have seen and heard is deeply remembered and cannot be forgotten. Especially the conversation between the old and the young is mysterious, but it stops at the right time, which makes people think deeply. If everything was an illusion of the land of life and death, why did the old man who met him for the first time not feel strange, but the young man looked...?
That piece of heaven and earth was peaceful and harmonious, and the two people who sat and talked about Taoism were even more unfathomable, but why did people notice something strange? The old man and the young man were both proficient in Taoism, and what they said was nothing more than sitting quietly and forgetting the world. And if I forget life and death, where am I? If my original heart has been lost, what does it have to do with me to become an immortal?
Whether it is now or in the future, whether it is a smooth road or adversity, I am just me, an ordinary person who can face life and death, honor and disgrace! Under the way of heaven, on the road of life and death, why can't I stick to my original heart?
However, when they left at the end, the two people pointed out the mystery in one word, which shows that they were not without good intentions. Everyone dies, but I am the only one who survives! Instead of sitting and forgetting, it is better to break through life and death in one day...
Thinking of this, it seems that a shackle has quietly collapsed from my heart, and the ubiquitous restrictions of heaven and earth are relieved. Unconsciously, Lin Yi's cultivation level slowly recovered from Qi training to foundation building, and then stabilized until the early stage of the golden elixir. The three little Yuanying people sitting in his body also looked happy.
This is not a sign of improvement in cultivation, but a gain in the understanding of the realm. And what does the old man mean by the realm of "Nine Transformations"? He needs to figure it out carefully one day.
After staying in the same place for a while, Lin Yi's expression was normal, but the momentum around him was a little different. After more than three hundred years of hard practice, seeing through life and death in one day makes people feel suddenly enlightened, but also disappointed. After a while, he turned around again from the heavy haze, with a little more casualness and calmness in his expression.
Hua Chenzi was still sitting quietly, and the Yuanying in her body was also in a coma. Although she still had a glimmer of life, her soul didn't know where it went. If she couldn't wake up in time, she would disappear forever in this dark night.
This ghostly woman has always been a person who ignores life and death. At this moment, whether she persists or forgets, it is difficult to get rid of the shackles of life and death in this Jiuyuan land. What is she pursuing? However, it is not easy to save her life!
The red light flashed in his eyes and disappeared, and Lin Yi shook his head gently. If Hua Chenzi was forcibly awakened by the phantom pupil, he would never be able to turn back.
After a little thought, Lin Yi pinched the magic formula with both hands, stepped forward, and an illusory figure left the original body. In an instant, an old man and a young man stood facing each other.
Looking at himself in front of him with his true face, Lin Yi's mouth corners rose. The other party also smiled slightly, his expression was exactly the same as his, but his cultivation was one level lower, only the late stage of foundation building.
After so many years, the soul-sending clone technique is still useless, and the clone cultivated will dissipate in less than a moment. However, this wisp of soul-splitting may come in handy.
Lin Yi no longer hesitated. With a thought, the figure of the clone suddenly disappeared, and turned into a faint light that suddenly drilled into Hua Chenzi's eyebrows. At the same time, he sat down three feet away from the other party and closed his eyes slightly.
In his life, the first ray of clone that Lin Yi cultivated entered the sea of consciousness of others. He did not want to seize the body, and he had no ill intentions. He just wanted to save the woman's life...
... The scene in front of him changed. In the vast vision, it was empty and peaceful, but there was a bit more loneliness. Being in Hua Chenzi's sea of consciousness, Lin Yi could clearly feel the weak energy in the woman's Nascent Soul, but he had no way of knowing where the other party's soul was. His very tiny figure searched around, and then flew towards a bright place in the distance...
... On a mat in a quiet room, a weak woman lay horizontally, but she held on to someone beside her and said reluctantly: "Mother's time has come..." As she said that, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Mom! Don't go..." Sobs sounded, and the girl standing by had tears in her eyes. She was only more than ten years old, thin and delicate, with a sad expression.
"Alas! Pity my helpless child, mother can't bear to leave you..." The woman sighed softly, her eyes full of love, and said: "Both parents are mortals, and they will inevitably die... You want Live well, and if the day comes when you become a monk of the Hua family, come to the grave and say something..."
The girl knelt on her knees, obediently bending her frail body. She snuggled into the woman's arms and begged with tears: "Chenzi doesn't want to become a monk, Chenzi only wants to be a mother..."
The woman reached out her hand and stroked the girl's hair gently and tremblingly. Her tears were not gone, her eyes flashed with a warm smile, and she said: "Silly boy! Just because your parents are not monks, they have already suffered the neglect of the tribe... Monks are good... they can live forever and travel in the sky... ...This is..." She took out something from her arms with difficulty and said with expectation: "This is... what your father got when he went hunting in the mountains... I wanted to use it as a gift for you to get your hairpin. But I can’t wait until then…”
The girl raised her teary eyes, and in her open little hands, there was a jade bracelet that was green and cool, and the touch of it made people feel refreshed. When she gently put it on her wrist, her face suddenly turned pale. In panic, she threw herself at the woman whose eyes were slightly closed, and screamed: "Mother..."
...At this moment, a sigh suddenly came from the distance, and then clouds and mist flew across. The quiet room and everything in it suddenly disappeared, leaving only the lonely figure of Hua Chenzi, looking around sadly. The two drops of clear tears in the corners of her eyes melted into the nothingness before they fell, as if they were reminiscing or paying homage, but she couldn't help but feel the endless sadness...
Gently lifting her sleeves, revealing the faint jade bracelet on her wrist, Hua Chenzi lost her mind... After a moment, she moved lightly... Beside the river valley ahead, there were two tombs next to each other. The tomb was visible in the distance, Hua Chenzi stopped, and the past years flashed one by one...
...Hua Chenzi, who was more than ten years old, would guard the tomb alone and talk to his parents when he had nothing to do. She gathered all the fruits and wild flowers and played alone. In this remote river valley, a lonely but cheerful figure has appeared since then... That day, Hua Chenzi leaned on the grave in grievance and cried. She was complaining to her mother, she was acting coquettishly to her father, her fingers were The thorns pricked and bled, but she had no one to tell her story... When the blood touched the jade bracelet, the poor girl was different from now on...
...I don’t know since when, someone has always spoken in Hua Chenzi’s sleep, and intentionally or unintentionally imparted some incomprehensible and simple formulas. With a clear understanding, she tried to meditate and breathe out, and gradually became a monk in the Hua family. After he had reached the advanced stage of Qi training, he came to the tomb next to the river valley to comfort his parents' spirits in heaven...
On this day, the Hua family suffered a disaster. Hua Chenzi, who survived, was taken into the Tiandao Sect by Songyun Sanren, but was bullied by the master who had the face of a human and the heart of an animal. From then on, the temperament of this pure and kind woman changed drastically...
...Hua Chenzi wanted to improve his cultivation to take revenge, so he asked for help from the person who often spoke in his dreams. Although the other party was very knowledgeable and had repeatedly solved her doubts, he had no suitable techniques to teach her, so he pointed out a way...Beyond Kyushu, there was another world...
With another sigh, Hua Chenzi, who was standing quietly with a look of nostalgia on his face, walked towards the tomb in front of him. Everything in the past is like the faint mist in front of you, slowly coming in and then slowly dispersing, but it never leaves your side. If we were to find another world, wouldn't we have to be far away from our parents...
tired! tired! I am still that careless girl, and I am still the innocent and innocent Huachenzi! Why not put aside your burdens, exile your body and mind, and just return to this silence and never leave again...
A faint smile appeared on Hua Chenzi's cheeks, and she continued to walk towards the tomb covered with fragrant grass. For some reason, her feet suddenly paused and she slowly raised her hand. After a while, his calm expression suddenly showed waves, and he said to the jade bracelet: "I won't go back, I want to stay with my parents..."
The jade bracelet was just a phantom, but there was a faint flash of light.
Hua Chenzi's expression changed, and then he said in a stubborn tone: "Not to mention that the difficulty of finding the Immortal Realm makes people feel powerless, but that Lin Yiye has become wary..."
"Being obsessed with the past is better than turning around and going back!"
"I don't……"
"Could it be that someone is instigating your search for Lin Yi?"
"..."
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke behind him, and Hua Chenzi replied casually without thinking. In an instant, she suddenly woke up, quickly silenced herself, and looked back in surprise. I saw a young man in gray robe walking slowly...
