Holy Bone

Chapter 1568: Saving Taoist Fellow Yujing Jinque

A piece of rotten log floats on the quicksand river.

The rotten wood has dried up and cracked, with many cracks on the surface. It is completely dead and has lost all moisture, but it still emits a divine light and auspicious aura that flows slowly along the lines of the bark.

The piece of wood was a broken branch, as thick as a millstone. No one knew how many years it had been dead, but it still couldn't hide its divinity when it was alive.

The most amazing thing is that a new leaf has sprouted on the branch of the dead tree. Under the scorching sunlight, it is crystal clear and reflects mottled sunlight onto the shore. It is as brilliant and beautiful as glass jade.

Jin'an and Daqingniu both discovered this magical dead tree and were amazed by the tenacious vitality of the new sprouts and leaves.

“A dead tree has come back to life, what a tenacious vitality, what a rich and amazing life essence. It seems that the breaking of the seal of the Four Symbols Bureau of Heaven and Earth has brought about great changes to even the blessed land of the cave heaven!”

"This tree is floating on the Quicksand River and has not sunk. Martial Immortal, shall we go aboard?"

White air was coming out of the big blue ox's mouth and nose, and he was eager to act, with an impatient tone.

After getting Jin'an's nod of approval, the big blue ox mooed, sprinted quickly, and jumped onto the dead tree.

The dead tree sank suddenly, shook violently, and finally floated up safely, carrying a man and a cow and continued to drift.

At this time, the big blue ox's old problem came back. When it saw the tender grass and leaves on the roadside, it couldn't help but want to eat the tender grass. Fortunately, Jin'an jumped off the ox's back and stood between the big blue ox and the tender leaves in time.

"There is only one leaf here. Why don't you try eating one?" Jin An was warning him not to think of keeping it all to himself.

The big blue ox felt guilty and didn't say anything. He stood with Jin An and looked carefully at the green leaves in front of him.

The leaves are as crystal clear and beautiful as jade agate, and the veins of the leaves are clearly visible. When you look closer, you will notice that the densely packed breathing holes on the leaves are actually the great scriptures formed by countless runes and scripture characters.

Those great scriptures have a majestic power that points directly to the origin of the universe, and the majestic life essence comes from these small characters.

  Ok?

"What kind of sacred tree is this? It's so magical, and its leaves are naturally engraved with great Dao scriptures. Could it be an innate spiritual root like the Sakyamuni Bodhi tree, the ginseng fruit tree, or the peaches of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Jinan looked surprised.

The big blue ox just wanted to divide the treasure, so he urged Jin'an to pick the leaves and then each of them would share it in half.

Jin An shook his head and said, "Eating this leaf will at most increase your life span. You and I both have enough vital energy, so instead of increasing your life span a little, I think that with the help of the scriptures on the leaf, you can comprehend more mysteries of heaven and earth."

After saying this, Jin An sat down cross-legged under the leaves, looking up at every tiny character on them.

The sunlight shines on the leaves, and the crystal clear leaves reflect a colorful halo, which just happens to be reflected on Jinan's pupils...

"Something's going on with the martial arts immortal. Why don't you wake up quickly?" The urgent voice of the big blue ox brought Jin An's mind back to reality.

The big blue bull said in a surprised voice: "Martial Dao Immortal, you are finally awake. You have been sitting there for a whole day and night, and I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I called you."

Jin An was stunned: "I have been meditating under the leaves for a whole day and night?"

At this time, Jin An noticed that his thinking was unusually clear, his mind was very clear, his spirit was as spotless as a mirror, all worldly desires and distractions were cleared away, and his mind had many more insights into cultivation. Many of the fourth realm questions that he had been unable to figure out before were suddenly opened up and easily figured out.

  Jinan looked at the green leaf that was struggling tenaciously in surprise. This leaf could actually improve people's understanding!

When people sit under the leaves to practice, their minds will be free of distractions, they will be able to focus on the Yuan and One, and their spirits will be clear. It will be easy for them to enter the state of sudden enlightenment!

Jin An told Da Qing Niu about his discovery. When Da Qing Niu heard it, his expression immediately became serious.

Dharma, wealth, companions, and land are the four indispensable conditions on the path of cultivation. However, these external things are nothing compared to the innate ability of understanding. If a person does not have enough understanding, no matter how much Dharma and wealth he is given, he cannot turn a pig into a genius.

Talented understanding is innate.

Dharma, wealth, friends and place are acquired.

If your innate potential is limited, no matter how hard you try later on, you will have hit the ceiling.

When one reaches the realm of Zaoxu Zhenren, there is no shortage of resources for cultivation. Comprehending higher mystical methods and breaking through the bottleneck of the realm are what he lacks most at this realm.

However, the current situation did not give the big blue ox a chance to enter enlightenment while sitting under the leaves. At the end of the sky and earth, a small dust storm was rolled up and rushed towards them.

In fact, it was not a small dust storm, but someone sensed the breath of the sacred tree and was chasing them.

It was just like the scene when he and Zaoxu Zhenren chased the sacred tree before.

As the smoke got closer, Jin An noticed more details. He saw magical lights from magical weapons and supernatural powers rushing back and forth in the smoke, as if someone was fighting.

Soon, the other party approached the Liusha River. Those people were wearing Taoist robes. They were all Taoists of Yujing Jinque, and their realms were all at the third realm.

When the Taoist priests of Yujing Jinque saw that there was a dead end in front of them, they looked sad at first, but when they saw a dead tree drifting with Jin'an, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed expressions of surprise.

"My fellow Taoists, why don't you come up and have a chat?" Jin An nodded and smiled, taking the initiative to invite.

The people from Yujing Jinque showed grateful expressions on their faces. They all jumped onto the dead tree and then noticed the green leaf on it.

Jinan did not explain the green leaf, but asked who was chasing them just now.

Jin An asked while looking at the shore. At this time, the shore had returned to calm and there was no one in sight.

When the matter of being hunted down was mentioned, the faces of the people in Yujing Jinque darkened: "It's the evil god!"

"Evil God?"

"What kind of evil god?"

Jinan became interested.

There were three Yujing Jinque Taoists rescued by him, but none of them were Yujing Jinque elders. Two of them were in the early stage of the third realm, and only one was in the middle stage of the third realm. It seemed that they were all people who had made new breakthroughs after breaking the shackles of the mortal world.

The one with the highest level of cultivation, who was in the middle stage of the third realm, said with a guilty look on his face: "To be honest with you, Taoist Jin An, even we can't tell where that evil god came from. We only know that the evil god is very strange and people can't look directly at it. Once you do, the ghost will take over your mind and then great terror will happen."

Many people entered the blessed land this time. At the beginning, there were about ten people traveling together, from various sects. As the great terror came, there were heavy casualties. Three of them left the team and acted alone, but they were still hunted down by the evil god all the way.

Jin An became more interested after hearing this. If it wasn't for the need to reunite with the Thousand-Eyed Taoist statue as soon as possible, he might have turned back to meet the evil god.

The three people from Yujing and Jinque looked at the leaves on the dead tree again, with strange looks in their eyes, which was caught by Jinan.

Jinan: "Do you recognize this tree?"

The three of them looked at each other, then took out a withered leaf and took a closer look. They found that it looked the same as the leaves on the sacred tree. Jin An and Da Qing Niu were both surprised.
