Too much fruit

Chapter 279

It is said that Lu Dongbin, a real person in Chunyang, came from a scholarly family. Before he entered Taoism, he was a student who had read poetry since childhood.

Unfortunately, although Lu Dongbin was talented and quick-thinking, he always had trouble in the imperial examinations. He failed every time and failed every time.

He was depressed and often drank to drown his sorrows.One day, Lu Dongbin went out to look for wine again. In a wine shop, he met Zhong Liquan, who used the pseudonym Yunyou.

Zhong Liquan saw that Lu Dongbin had excellent weapons, so he invited Lu Dongbin to practice in the mountain. However, Lu Dongbin was still unfulfilled and could not let go of his fame. He refused to practice and did not want to leave this prosperous world.

Zhong Liquan was not upset, he just took out the firewood and yellow rice and started cooking.

Lu Dongbin, on the other hand, had no time to react as his eyelids drooped and he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, Lu Dongbin went back to the past. Only this time, he became the number one scholar, was proud of his officialdom, and married the prime minister's daughter. The couple was harmonious, and his life destiny was like a raging fire. He rose step by step, occupied a prominent position, and gained power. Position Xuanhe.

Later, Lu Dongbin was framed and suddenly convicted of a serious crime. His family property was confiscated and his whole family was exiled. During the journey, it was windy and snowy, hungry and cold. Lu Dongbin suddenly felt that life was impermanent, and he suddenly woke up.

At this time, the yellow rice was not yet ripe, so the idiom "yellow rice is a dream" came into being.

Lu Dongbin had a great dream for 50 years and experienced many honors and disgrace. After being enlightened by Zhong Liquan, he finally had a great enlightenment, let go of the worldly world, and became a monk. Only then came the various stories that followed.

And Jiang Li now has to experience this dream.

It's just that dreams vary from person to person. Lu Dongbin was obsessed with fame, so he had a dream in which that extremely famous minister was exiled. Jiang Li was not very interested in fame. What he really pursued was the power of cultivation, and... ··go home.

······
······
It was as if my consciousness had traveled through time and space, with all kinds of scenes passing by from both sides, and finally settled into a dark night and a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

A gust of night wind blew and hit Jiang Li's face, bringing a slight chill.

He looked up as if waking up from a dream, and the huge full moon came into his eyes.

There are few stars in the moon tonight, so it is a good time to admire the moon.

Under the moonlit sky, there are thousands of lights, bright or dark lights lighting up the city at night. That bright light is the symbol of modern civilization.

Jiang Li held onto the guardrail of the balcony and looked at this scene as if he had lost his soul, with mixed feelings in his heart.

A crisp notification sound suddenly appeared. Jiang Li subconsciously put his hand into his pocket and took out his familiar Fruit mobile phone. On the lighted display screen, the message notification of the penguin group was extremely clear.

Scan your face, unlock, and join the group.

Lines of "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" filled the screen like crazy, along with reminders to receive red envelopes.

Subsequently, various emoticons appeared, and some seals were showing off the amount of their red envelopes.

The familiar recipe, familiar taste, and familiar sand sculpture made Jiang Li smile involuntarily.

"Ding!"

Another message prompt appeared, this time, it was a private message.

Jiang Li clicked it open, and what came into view was an animated picture of Mingyue and a line of congratulations.

——"Jiang Li, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Crack-"

The phone screen suddenly cracked.

Jiang Li tightened his grip on the phone. The smile he had just now was replaced by a gloomy look. His fingers were still exerting force, causing the expensive phone to bend.

His name is not "Jiang Li", or Jiang Li's previous life was not called "Jiang Li", but another name.

However, the name that should have appeared turned into "Jiang Li".

Everything in front of him was so real, but Jiang Li's memory told him that it was false.

The force that could easily crush the phone told him that it was fake.

This "Jiang Li, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" told him that this was false.

Jiang Li's dream of Huangliang was not sealed in memory, and even the details in the dream reminded him all the time that this was a dream.

Lu Dongbin had a dream for 50 years, experienced another life, and received enlightenment after waking up, but Jiang Li wanted to achieve enlightenment and make choices in his dream.

——Letting go?

——Still can’t let go?

If you put it down, the yellow beam dream will be over, the promotion ceremony will be completed, you will achieve the sixth level, and you will obtain the unique fruit of Taoism, Chunyang Zhenren.

If you can't let it go, this dream will be just a dream. Once it is over, it will be over. There will be no promotion and no Tao fruit.

This is a choice, but not a simple decision, but an awareness.

Enlightenment cannot be changed overnight. When Jiang Li makes the awakening to let go, he will complete the ritual and at the same time... completely let go of his obsession with going back.

Everything in front of me is fake, but the realization I made is not fake.

If you want to put down the idea of ​​going back temporarily and pick it up again after being promoted, that is impossible.Such perfunctory deception can deceive others, but not yourself.

The essence of Huangliang Yimeng is to test Jiang Li's true intention.Jiang Li came to a crossroads in life.

If so, Jiang Li asked himself.

"Do I seriously want to go home?"

Then, he answered to himself: "I don't actually miss the world in my previous life. If I hadn't traveled through time, I would have worked hard all my life and it would be nothing compared to this life. What I really miss is family love. .”

So, is it necessary to give up this obsession for a sixth-grade Taoist fruit?
"The sixth-grade Taoist fruit is not worth my sacrifice, but I need to get over this hurdle. Whether I let it go or can't let it go, I have to face it head on and make an awakening."

Burying memories has inherent thoughts of escaping, because Jiang Li knew that even if he could go back, it would only be a long time later, and he himself had thoughts of letting go.Because it was too far away, Jiang Li once thought about giving up.

But because I couldn't bear it, I couldn't let it go.

Until now, because of this promotion ceremony, Jiang Li finally reached the point where he had to make a choice.

Do you want to let it go?
'Let time test all this. 'Jiang Li put down his scrapped mobile phone and thought lightly.

Jiang Li didn't know if he would still maintain this idea after a long time. He even knew that he would probably weaken his obsession with time.

But after all, it didn't take long now. No matter what the future holds, Jiang Li wants to go back now.

Therefore, Jiang Li planned to have a dream and let the time in the dream tell him whether he would let go.

If the dream has faded away after decades, then let it go.

If he still doesn't change, it means that Jiang Li has this intention, so he won't let go.

Time will tell the truth.

In reality, Tong Yuanzi shook his banana fan and looked at Jiang Li seriously.

Just now, Jiang Li had a gloomy look on his face, and the energy around his body was surging, threatening to cover all directions. However, he suddenly fell silent, converged into his body, and regained his composure.

At this time, Jiang Li was sitting in the small pavilion, his body upright, his face calm, with a faint crystal-like luster, and he had the majesty of a god.

Just sitting there, he had an aura that made it difficult for Qingfeng Mingyue to look directly at him.

"Master, is he... going to succeed?" Mingyue lowered her head, but couldn't help but ask.

Tong Yuanzi did not answer, but slowly approached, as if to observe carefully.

But before he could take a step, a faint starlight appeared out of thin air, fell down, and covered Jiang Li's body, blocking all external forces and objects.

When Tong Yuanzi saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is really cautious."

He seemed to take a deep breath and relaxed.

"In this way, I don't need to worry about any accidents. It's very good, very good," he waved his fan and said leisurely, "I just don't know which of these two Taoist friends can be more in line with Chunyang Zhenren's Taoist fruit. , and got promoted with this."

The aura of Huang Liangmi has spread, not only Jiang Li, but also Zhang Daoyi, who also entered the dreamland when the aura came.

Whoever the flower falls into depends on who has a more complete state of mind and a deeper foundation.

······

"It seems we are on the right track."

In a hall, Tianxuan's eyes were full of stars, and there seemed to be thousands of scenes in her eyes. She could clearly remember everything that happened around Jiang Li.

"Sure enough, it's just a dream..."

Tianxuan recited softly, raised her hand lightly, and a faint brilliance emerged. A bright moon appeared behind her at some point, exuding a lofty and sacred aura.

When it comes to understanding dreams, Tianxuan asks herself that no one in the world can be better than her, or at best equal to her.When she became aware of Jiang Li's promotion ceremony, she immediately contacted the relevant legends and gained insight into the nature of the ceremony.

"The key to dream walking is to be awake, and you need an anchor point that always involves you. Just like the string to which a kite is tied, in this case..."

After a slight pause, the bright moon behind Tianxuan split a beam of moonlight and flew to the other side following the invisible connection.

"Using my Qi to protect his fate, even if his promotion fails, is enough to ensure that he is safe. It can even help him wake up when he is lost."

After making arrangements for Jiang Li, the bright moon behind Tianxuan slowly disappeared, and the strange vision in his eyes gradually disappeared.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt something. It seemed that... with the communication of Qi, she and Jiang Li established an inexplicable connection.

This shouldn't have happened, at least it didn't happen when Tianxuan used this method to protect Gongsun Qingyue in the past.

She immediately wanted to investigate, but at this moment, a palace maid walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, please go to Ziji Palace."

With this interruption, Tianxuan could only temporarily put aside his exploration, nodded gently, and said: "Lead the way."

She walked out of the hall, taking slow and slow steps. The gorgeous skirt completely covered Youzhi's legs, and also covered the thin line that briefly appeared inside the stockings, showing a faint hint of red.

Within a few steps, the thin red line disappeared again and never appeared again.

However, that inexplicable connection has always existed, allowing Tianxuan to accurately grasp Jiang Li's state through the mysterious art of Yi Dao.

　I originally thought about writing about closed memories and dreaming back to the present world, but after thinking about it carefully, book friends should have experienced this kind of plot a lot, so I might as well write something different.
