Chapter 204 Enlightenment!

time flies.

Since the floods broke out in Zhao State, about a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

A person's will to survive in a desperate situation is beyond human imagination.

Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the weather was freezing, the refugees who had been hit by the flood had successfully arrived in Daye City after a long journey.

Because of the "Tai Sui Meat" that was used to survive, the Zhao court began to set up porridge shops to relieve the victims after the first batch of refugees arrived in Daye City.

The food distributed by the imperial court to the victims was mainly 'Tai Sui Pork', supplemented by a very small amount of rice porridge.

Due to the different camps they are in, in the eyes of the refugees, 'Tai Sui Meat' is just a weird thing that exudes a foul smell.

Almost indistinguishable from carrion.

But if a person is really hungry, he can still eat carrion.

Therefore, eating 'Tai Sui meat' is not a big problem for the refugees.

...

at the same time.

Above the Guangyu Star Gate station.

A meteorite with a diameter of several hundred meters fell from the sky without warning, and hit the mountain-protecting formation of Tianmen, the "Lingyan Formation".

"puff!"

After receiving this blow, Tianmen Patriarch Nangong Yongchang, who presided over the "Lingyan Formation", and his friends monks surnamed Murong, monks surnamed Li and monks surnamed Yun all vomited blood and fell to their knees.

——In fact, with the Nascent Soul stage cultivation of Nangong Yongchang and others, they did not need to resist the meteorites falling from the sky.

At their speed, it was easy to avoid them.

However, due to the frequent disasters on Guangyu Star in recent times. In order to prevent too many innocent people from being killed or injured, and at the same time to protect the disciples and elders of various sects, Nangong Yongchang and three other Nascent Soul stage monks, A 'Lingyan Formation' was set up at Tianmen Station.

The Lingyan Formation is a defensive formation and consumes much more than the Spiritual Light Formation.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, this formation is generally closed.

Only when there is real danger will the person who controls the formation activate the formation.

After the Lingyan Formation is opened, it can generate walls made of soil and rocks on its own to resist all dangers from the outside world.

Since the completion of the Lingyan Formation, Nangong Yongchang has brought the people from thousands of miles around, as well as the disciples and elders of fellow Taoists named Murong and Taoist Yun, to the Tianmen garrison.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that when the meteorite fell from the sky at this moment, Nangong Yongchang had to work with three other Nascent Soul monks to rely on the Lingyan formation to resist.

They cannot escape.

Because standing behind them were nearly ten million innocent people, as well as their disciples and elders.

At the eye of the Lingyan Formation.

Nangong Yongchang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat cross-legged on the ground.

While doing his exercises to heal his injuries, he sighed helplessly: "In recent times, the disasters that have broken out on the Guangyu Star have become more and more exaggerated."

"It just so happens that at this time, Senior Wang Hu, the only one who has the possibility to solve the catastrophe of Guangyu Star, has disappeared inexplicably."

Nangong Yongchang smiled bitterly and said: "If the situation of the four of us continues to worsen, I'm afraid we may not be able to hold on."

"Brother Nangong." After hearing what Nangong Yongchang said, Taoist friend Li on the side said, "I heard about a person recently. It is said that he has some magical powers. I don't know if he can help us."

"Who?" Nangong Yongchang asked.

Fellow Taoist surnamed Li replied: "Isn't that Zhao State under the jurisdiction of my sect? It's the capital of Zhao State, Daye City. I heard that a living immortal appeared recently. That old immortal can tell the future destiny of others at a glance."

"Old god?" Nangong Yongchang frowned and said, "Is he a fortune teller? Do you know what kind of cultivation he has?"

"No cultivation base."

Fellow Taoist surnamed Li said: "In other words, no one can see the cultivation level of the old immortal. I once sent my disciples and elders to go to Daye City disguised as mortals, and met the old immortal several times."

"But no matter who I sent over, and no matter when they went there, no one who went there could see anything special about the old god. Everyone who saw the old god felt that he was nothing special. He is an ordinary mortal."

"Ah this." Nangong Yongchang said: "Is there a possibility: in fact, the old god is actually a mortal at all, and his so-called fortune telling is just a trick played by magicians to fool people."

Fellow Taoist surnamed Li shook his head and said, "If that god only tells people's fortunes, I really won't take him seriously."

"But in addition to fortune telling, that person also set up a candy man stall in Daye City."

"The candy man he made, if a mortal eats it, there is a certain chance that he will become an immortal on the spot, and his cultivation level will instantly break through from a mortal to the late stage of Qi training."

Even thinking about it now, fellow Taoist Li still feels a little incredible: "Although the late stage of Qi training is not worth mentioning for us. But even the four of us who are immortal, it is difficult for the disciples to make it in a moment." , just break through from the beginning to the late stage of Qi training, right?"

Nangong Yongchang nodded in agreement and said: "This magical power that allows people to gain enlightenment instantly is truly incredible."

"It's not just that." Fellow Taoist surnamed Li added: "A month ago, there were floods all over Zhao State, and the people's food reserves were flooded."

"People had no food to eat, so they all began to flee to Daye City, the capital of Zhao State, because the terrain there was high and not flooded."

"Then after the emperor of Zhao got the news, he was worried that there would not be enough food to help the victims, so he took people to ask the old god."

"After that, the old god gave Emperor Zhao a disgusting, smelly, weird thing that could grow continuously when exposed to water, and all the grown parts could be eaten as food without any side effects. "

"In this way, with the help of the old god, Emperor Zhao successfully overcame a difficult situation."

"Food that can grow wildly as long as it encounters water??" After hearing what Taoist friend Li said, Nangong Yongchang was surprised: "Is there such a magical thing in the world?"

He analyzed: "If that old immortal is really like what you described, then I estimate that he is most likely like fellow Taoist Wang Hu, an unborn master who has been living in seclusion on Guangyu Star. It should be no less than you and me!”

"I think so too." Taoist fellow surnamed Li agreed: "Just like Wang Hu before, the old immortal probably sensed that a disaster was about to come on the Guangyu Star, so he emerged from seclusion and walked in time.”

"Maybe the candy man stall he set up in Daye City of Zhao State was also for the disaster of Guangyu Star."

After hearing what Taoist friend surnamed Li said, Nangong Yongchang became energetic.

He immediately said: "It's not too late. How about we leave now and go to Daye City, the capital of Zhao State, to meet the old god?"

Fellow Taoist surnamed Li smiled and replied, "That's exactly what I meant."

Fellow Taoists surnamed Murong and Yun echoed: "Let's go together, let's go together!"

To show respect, after some discussion, in addition to Nangong Yongchang and other four Nascent Soul monks, they also brought four sect leaders from the Yuanying Ancestor's sect, as well as some of the sect leaders who went to Daye City to see Chengsheng this time. An elder with golden elixir level cultivation.

Together they rode in the clouds and headed towards the capital of the State of Zhao.
...

Zhao State, Daye City.

A candy man stall at the East Market.

Seeing that noon had arrived and the sun was hanging high in the sky, the maid waiting by the candy man stall quickly turned down the fire set up behind Chengsheng.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather was freezing. Worried about the cold weather, Emperor Zhao specially ordered a heater to be set up next to the candy man stall, and ordered four eunuchs and maids to add fuel to the heater.Except for noon and midnight, the two periods with higher temperatures, the fire in the heater cannot be extinguished if the person is in the stall at other times.

At the candy man stall.

I was drawing the life of a sugar monkey when I suddenly stopped in the middle of the drawing.

When the maid waiting nearby saw this, she immediately handed the tea that was warm by the fire to Cheng Sheng.

"Need not."

Chengshuo didn't go to take the tea from the maid, but just looked up at the sky.

Seeing his actions, the maids and eunuchs waiting around also looked towards the sky.

But I saw a giant centipede as big as a cargo ship flying slowly in the sky far away from Daye City.

——There is spiritual energy in the sky and earth of Guangyu Star, so occasionally birds and beasts will achieve enlightenment, and even gain the power to reach heaven and earth.

However, when birds and animals achieve enlightenment, they can only gain cultivation through this, but they will not give birth to spiritual wisdom.

After all, looking at the entire universe, emotional power and wisdom are unique characteristics of human beings.

Therefore, most of these birds and beasts that have no intelligence but are lucky enough to become enlightened will eventually become the mounts of practitioners.

Therefore, the people of Daye City always maintained a calm expression after seeing the giant centipede in the sky.

No one in the city was panicked.

At most, I stared at the centipede a few more times out of curiosity.

lean less.

The giant centipede slowly landed on the ground from the sky.

Centipede's back.

Tianmen Patriarch Nangong Yongchang, Taoist Fellows surnamed Murong, Murong, and Yun, as well as the elders who came with the four of them and the heads of each sect, all slowly flew from the back of the centipede to the ground. .

"Old fairy!"

After seeing the living deity, Nangong Yongchang first clasped his fists and saluted him, and then said straight to the point: "Now that the great disaster of Guangyu Star is approaching, how come the old god is still in the mood to sell sugar in this Daye City?"

——Nangong Yongchang is asking Chengshuo why he sells candy in Daye City for more than a year.
Facing Nangong Yongchang and others who were among the top in cultivation on Guangyu Star, they did not explain much about their survival.

He just looked down at the unfinished candy man and said as if muttering to himself: "I finally understand, what is missing from the great path I have understood?"

"Dao Dao?" Nangong Yongchang was confused by this inexplicable sentence.

But Chenghuo returned the gift to Nangong Yongchang, and then explained: "I set up a stall selling candy figures in Daye City, in order to understand the 'Dao of Destiny' through the candy figures."

"But more than a year has passed, and I have never really understood the truth."

"It wasn't until Taoist Fellow Daoist rode a centipede today that I suddenly realized it. The centipede ridden by Fellow Taoist actually reminded me."

With that said, Chengshuo turned his attention to his unfinished sugar painting.

While drawing the sugar monkey, he said: "Looking at the world, in fact, not only people have their own luck, but also their own destiny."

"Birds, beasts, insects, and fish also have their own destiny."

"Those with higher luck, just like this giant centipede, can attain enlightenment due to various chances and coincidences."

"so."

"The candy figures I drew are missing the destiny of the birds and animals!"

The speed of Chenghuo's painting of the candy man became faster and faster, and there were even afterimages in his movements.

Every one of his sketches makes onlookers feel that they are a kind of enjoyment and that they contain infinite avenues.

"The candy man painted by this old fairy."

After all, it is a Nascent Soul Stage monk.

After watching it for a while, Nangong Yongchang already understood the secret: "He seems to be touching a higher realm on the road of spiritual practice by painting candy figures!"

Fellow Taoist surnamed Li said thoughtfully: "I also understand: after a monk breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, if he wants to reach a higher level, he will no longer simply absorb more spiritual power, or other types of energy. It’s achievable.”

"Starting from the Nascent Soul stage, if a monk wants to break through, he must understand the principles of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth. The principles are mysterious and mysterious, so he can only understand them by himself and cannot explain them in words."

"Yes." Nangong Yongchang agreed: "Just like this old immortal. He looks like he is drawing candy figures, but in fact, he is comprehending the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and comprehending the ineffable avenue."

"How can this old immortal be a mortal!"

Speaking of this, Nangong Yongchang said with a smile: "I'm afraid this old man has already been ahead of the rest of us."

"He is the forerunner!"

On the East Market Street of Daye City.

At the same time that Nangong Yongchang said the three words 'pioneer', a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Chengshuo's body from the inside out.

With the emergence of this powerful aura, Cheng Huo's entire body was suspended from the ground to high in the sky.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone nearby.
Even the people and Zhao officials in other areas of Daye City were attracted by the aura of Chengshuo and rushed to the location of Chengshuo.

Suspended in mid-air, Chengshuo opened his eyes and looked around.

Wherever he looked, a milky white air ball appeared above everyone's heads. When Chengsheng looked more carefully, he could see a person's future through the milky white air ball.

People's future is uncertain and there are always variables.

Therefore, the milky white air masses that we see will never have a fixed shape.

These destiny clouds are always changing
"senior!"

on the ground.

As Chengshuo's momentum continued to rise, Nangong Yongchang felt that there was an indescribable and unknown meaning in Chengshuo.

If it weren't for describing it, Nangong Yongchang could only think of the word 'Tao' to describe this connotation.

He realized the truth after surviving
Nangong Yongchang looked at Chengshuo with an expression of envy and respect: "Senior, have you made a breakthrough?"

"Not counting."

air.

Chengshuo shook his head and said: "The path of cultivation I chose has two steps in total, and now I can only barely complete the first step."

After saying that, Chengshuo landed from the sky and said with a smile: "The road is long and long, I will search up and down."
