wandering fairy

On the evening of the second day, the sunset glow at sunset said that the green spring mountains were covered with a layer of golden yellow, and the two colors merged into one, as if the vast world was an endless luxurious hall, and living in it suddenly gave birth to a wonderful life. A heroic spirit.

Dongzi continued to sit cross-legged next to a big tree next to the camp, practicing the method slowly.Along the way, he had to sacrifice thunder every day, and now the connection with the heaven and the earth is becoming more and more obvious. Of course, huge and gorgeous phantoms also appear frequently, just like sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, he can use Refa came to feel the movement around him.Gradually these "feelings" strengthened as Leifa and the world continued to connect, and even the "feeling itself" continued to expand and expand, first to the extent of a three-story building, and the Mackenzies not far away seemed to be It is like a small person; when it grows to the super huge level of a nine-storey building, all the tall trees and huge rocks around it are like the scene of a small country, which is really not worth mentioning; it grows all the way until it is higher than the huge mountain top, and it is always straight. Go to the distant high and far white clouds, and wear the clouds in the middle of the night as a boundless giant hat on your head.And his body seemed to be bigger than several mountain peaks, almost approaching the team following him!

If ordinary people encounter this "realm", they will be extremely happy, and put all their minds into it, in order to expand this feeling.I thought that by concentrating on this, I would be able to improve Leifa just like training my body and making my muscles strong.Little do they know that they will go astray in this way!Or make one's own mind start to become disordered, and eventually become mad and defeated.Or give ghosts and gods the opportunity to manipulate themselves, and be lured into the way of ghosts and gods.Lost the chance of immortality!

Even if you don't focus on it, you will feel complacent because of seeing this scene, and your mind will lose its stability, and it will not have much effect at the beginning.If you practice to the extreme depth, you will be confused by stronger and more "real" illusions.In the end, it fell short!

Therefore, the real fairy art has very high psychological requirements, but don't think that it requires "willpower and endurance".Those things are not the requirements for xinxing in the fairy law!On the contrary, the stronger the will and the stronger the endurance, the more serious the problems caused by mistakes and the harder it is to correct them! !Not only is it not a good thing, it is a bad thing!

The essence of the Xianfa center method lies in "transparency", that is, to get rid of the "cognitive fog" created by one's own mind, and to get rid of all kinds of fantasies that all living beings are addicted to. Only in this way can we leave the "human way" and reach the "heavenly way".This requires practitioners.Externally, we must carefully understand how various external situations can arouse emotions and desire thoughts, and we must realize that these thoughts are not "thoughts of our own mind", that is, the truth that "all thoughts are not self"; The "persistence" effect caused by the activation of emotions, desires and thoughts can temporarily get rid of its control, and look at everything from a relatively harmonious perspective.

Only in this way can "not deviate from the human way but transcend the human way, surpass the human way but connect to the heavenly way", there is only a glimmer of hope for the immortal law!Otherwise, no matter how much you practice your supernatural powers, you will eventually sink into the path of ghosts and gods, and you will never recover if the disaster is the same.Why?Just because "the way of man is damaged enough to make up for it, and the way of heaven is damaged enough to make up for it", the way of ghosts and gods is actually a variant of human way.Once indulging in this kind of path, after all, one embarks on a path of "replenishment of surplus". At the beginning, it is naturally prosperous, and it seems that happiness will never end.But when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the things are strong, they will grow old!Once the "replenishment" reaches an excessive level, the way of heaven will naturally "damage more than make up for it"!Who does it hurt?Of course it's a loss to you guys who "make up more than enough"!Therefore, catastrophe must come.

This is why before the Tang and Song Dynasties there were no catastrophes for those who practiced immortality; but after Tang and Song, those who practiced immortality were repeatedly robbed, and there were even four or nine catastrophes.Without it, it is only because practitioners after the Tang and Song Dynasties practiced in the way of ghosts and gods, or confuse the opportunity of the way of heaven with the principles of humanity, and even openly talked about the "combination of the three religions" and secretly welcomed the "humanity" of the rulers thought.In this way, in the name of "the way of heaven", how can one walk the way of "the way of ghosts and gods" without disaster?And the true immortal law is in harmony with the way of heaven, and will never suffer from "heavenly calamity"!On the contrary, it is possible to suffer from "human catastrophe".It's just that after the Tang and Song Dynasties, more and more ghost and god techniques were mixed in the fairy arts, and all the eyes were full of impure fairy arts.Naturally, they will suffer the "four nines" catastrophe.

This phenomenon became more and more serious in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Until the period when the Shushan lineage was the leader, no matter whether it was good or evil, it was an impure fairy law.Therefore, all sects of righteousness and evil will suffer from the catastrophe, but the less polluted Buddhism will not be subject to the catastrophe.

Those who know the opportunity, if they are reluctant to part with each other, survive with broken arms, or have a chance of life; those who don't know the opportunity, or try to resist or avoid or have many tricks, think they can rely on magic weapons, friends, etc. to survive.Little do they know that the way of man is contained in the way of heaven, the so-called "heaven is restored, sparse but not leaky".The more you resist, the more you hide, the more tricky you are.In the end, the death is more thorough!Even a trace of true spirit will be scattered between heaven and earth, and even being a hungry ghost is an extravagant hope.Fortunately, a few survived.Its achievements are not "immortal ways", but "ghosts and gods"!The so-called ascension does not become a fairy, but the achievement of "ghosts, gods, heaven and humanity"!Only because Xiudi is the way of ghosts, gods and heaven, he was blessed by it, and he was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe.But ghosts, gods, gods and humans also fall, and the higher you climb, the harder you fall.Once it falls, it will be impossible to even seek the body of an animal!

Dongzi practiced the ancient immortal method, so he naturally understood these principles.Although the road I walk is much more difficult than that of Shushan and other dharma lines, but after all, I will not suffer the catastrophe like them.Unless one day he also walks on the path of ghosts, gods, heaven and humanity, he will naturally suffer from the disaster of heaven like them.

At this moment, I discard many wonderful illusions, and still keep my own way of practice, don't let the mind and soul indulge a little, and concentrate on the way of inner and outer harmony.Let the source of life be like fog and clouds, and let it come out naturally and come back naturally.No imposition, no slack.If it does not move for a long time, it is like a humanoid plant, although it does not move a little bit on the outside, it moves greatly on the inside.

Not far away, Lelin and Daniela were gathering and eating barbecue with some wild vegetables they had collected.These wild vegetables have no smell except for a grass-like smell.And the stems and leaves are rough so it's not comfortable to eat.But Teacher Dongzi.That is, "Pastor Aililu" asked them to eat these things, because eating only barbecue every day would make them sick.

Lelin chewed wild vegetables for a while, and immediately took a bite of fragrant meat to fill her empty palate.She looked at Daniela who kept her head down and kept eating wild vegetables, and asked with concern: "Eating just this is not good for the fetus. That's right. What are you going to do in the future?"

After Daniela was silent for a while, she gasped weakly and said, "What else can I do? With this child, I can no longer join organizations like mercenaries and adventure teams. It is impossible to risk your life to make a fortune." Yes. Fortunately, after all, I am an official mage who has mastered third-level spells. I can make some low-level magic wands or potions to get by in the future. Although I can’t get rich, I’m better than a farmer in the country. I’m sure I won’t starve myself and this Children. That’s fine. In fact, for those people who go out to be mercenaries, two out of ten can come back alive. It’s considered lucky if one out of a hundred gets rich. What about you? You are the kind of lifelong Maid? But I don’t see why you don’t have a brand on your body?”

Lelin's expression darkened. In theory, she was indeed a "maid for life", which is a euphemism for "female slave".Because ordinary maids are hired according to the employment relationship, or they dress up the master and live for more than ten years according to the contract relationship, there will always be a day of freedom. ^^^^ Only the "lifelong female slaves" have no legal protection, except that they cannot be subjected to inhuman treatment and cannot be executed without reason. The master can dispose of them at will, and even resell them to others.Warriors like Le Lin are usually sold to underground arenas.Of course, this kind of servant usually has a special brand to mark the identity of the master, and they are all branded on relatively obvious places such as the head, face, arms and so on.Ke Lelin's body is smooth and round, and she has never seen any traces of branding.

Lelin fiddled with the big piece of meat in her hand with an unnatural expression.He whispered: "He said that he didn't want to brand me. He also said that he would give me freedom after a few days."

Daniela gave a soft "oh" and said quietly, "It seems that he is not quite bad."

Lelin was slightly surprised: "Bad? He has never been bad! Why do you think he is bad?"

Danila was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "But the methods he used to deal with the enemy these days are too cruel, and ordinary people can't even do it. And when he digs his brains, he doesn't even blink his eyes. I heard that only bloodthirsty people have this hobby."

Lelin said dumbly: "It's just a dead body, no different from a rock. The killing has already been done, so how can it be considered bloodthirsty? It's not abusing the living." In her life in the underground world, to It is very common for the enemy's dead body to torture, and sometimes it is necessary to "punish" the enemy's dead body to improve the morale of one's own side.Although Dongzi's behavior was somewhat cruel, it was still within the range she could tolerate.At least he was playing with a dead body.Unlike the drow who take pleasure in playing with the living.

Daniela was a little at a loss for words, she didn't speak speculatively, and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.So she changed her words and praised: "If you are really free, where are you going to go? I think your martial arts skills are very high. These days, I have watched you compete with Mackenzie and the others. You have won them every time. If in In some small countries, you can still be a general."

Le Lin asked curiously: "Women can also be generals? Doesn't it mean that only men can be leaders?" When she was in the underground world, she only knew that the ground world was dominated by men, and that important matters were generally dominated by men. land.A woman is allowed to be the leader only in very special circumstances, such as when the male in the family dies or the heir is too young to run things.

Daniela smiled, and introduced: "In most cases, men are the leaders. But in some small countries, it is not so rigid. Those countries are poor and have no talents, and whoever has the ability will naturally recommend someone. Actually It's not a good thing, the smaller the country, the more frequent the wars, if you become a general, you must lead the team to the front. The possibility of death in battle is very high."

When I heard about war.Lelin's motor nerves became a little excited.After taking a big mouthful of the delicious barbecue, she asked, "War? Who are you fighting with? Kobolds or gnolls? Or those sub-giants and dwarves?"

Danila smiled wryly, shook her head slightly and said, "Who dares to provoke the sub-giants and dwarves? Kobolds and jackals are just for being bandits. Those who can't blow the wind? It's our own people. That is, humans Civil wars are the most frequent among them, and they are quite brutal."

Lelin's heart skipped a beat, why is there a civil war in the earthly world?I couldn't help asking: "Isn't it good for everyone to live together peacefully? Why do you fight and kill? And they are all small countries. The more wars, the fewer the population, and when you encounter large-scale kobolds, goblins, and dwarves What about the attack?"

Daniela sighed, looked at her seriously and said, "It seems that you used to live in the underground world." Seeing Lelin nodded, she continued, "No wonder you don't know anything about things here Well. But I don’t know much about it. It’s said that the lords fought for the territory. Not only do small countries frequently wage wars, but nobles within a country often attack and kill each other. .I heard that many mercenaries are employed in this kind of war. Today they fight Lord B for Lord A, and tomorrow they fight Lord A for Lord B. The enemy becomes a comrade-in-arms, and the comrade-in-arms becomes an enemy. Repeatedly. It sounds funny Well. Well, I don’t know what they are fighting for, maybe this is the bad nature of human beings.”

Le Lin immediately said in a strong tone: "Then I will never be the general of these guys, because my most ruthless thing is a civil war between races! I am also eager to fight, but it must be for a noble cause. Otherwise I will I would rather starve to death than serve those greedy and perverted despicable people!"

Speaking of this, the two of them felt heavy, and they lowered their heads and ate meat in a muffled voice.But I saw the ants under my feet formed a long team and stretched in a certain direction.

Lelin was surprised at first, but suddenly realized something was wrong. Isn't the direction of these ants crawling in the direction where Teacher Dongzi is?She jumped up "teng", made a few large leaps like antelope, and jumped towards Dongzi as lightly as the wind.

Then, there was an exclamation: "Ah! Why are there so many?"

Her cry immediately startled everyone.Including Mackenzie, everyone picked up their weapons in a panic, made a "ding ding" sound of friction and collision of weapons, and hurriedly ran to this side.Pastor Alilu is the only pastor in the team. If something happens to him, there will be no one to clean the water!How can we continue our journey in the future? .

When everyone gathered around, they saw a surprising scene.

Black forest ants longer than thumbs and big orange leafcutter ants, like believers gathered densely around the temple, surrounded the "Priest Elilu" in a mighty way. Those who were quiet and did not come around lined up in a long line, rushing to this side continuously, forming an "octopus carpet" intertwined with black and orange.Surprisingly yes.These immortal ants, who used to fight as soon as they met, were lying on the ground very peacefully, as if thousands of docile "villains" in black and orange were devoutly worshiping a huge statue. Gods, completely forgetting their mutual hatred and fighting nature.Only the reverence and the most sincere worship of this "giant statue" remain.

Everyone was still amazed, when suddenly they heard the sound of whirring from Tiansheng—a group of blue birds flew one after another.They used to be timid and cautious, but now they are not afraid of people. They openly flew on the surrounding branches and chirped, as if they encountered a clear spring in the vast desert, so they all gathered together to cheer. barking non-stop.The voice was crisp and intermittent, as if it was performing a "chorus" of bluebirds, which sounded very interesting.

Suddenly, another blue bird with extremely bright colors flew over.Holding a black fruit the size of a little finger in its mouth, it flew into the palm of "Aililu".After putting down the fruit, it made two chirping sounds and then flew to his shoulder, just screaming right in front of his ears.It seems to be talking to him!

After "speaking" for a while."Aililu", which was as motionless as a humanoid plant, suddenly said: "Thank you", and then the bird flew away.Pastor Alilu opened his eyes suddenly, and said loudly to the people around him, "I just talked to these birds. I decided to change the route tomorrow and take a detour to the northwest."

Standing not far away, Mackenzie asked from a distance across the "ant carpet", "Is the road over there easier?"

"Pastor Aililu" laughed and said, "No! The road over there is more difficult than this one!"

On the second day, in the sunless dense forest, the thick trees closed the entire space like a huge cage, and the dense shrubs were like thick green stone walls, cutting off all freedom and hope.Only the damp air like death row lingers around everyone.Very uncomfortable!

Haimina's subordinates no longer cared about the relationship between master and servant, and they began to complain in a low voice: "This road is like a swamp, how can I get there!" Then they hammered the thick tree trunk vigorously.

Then, there was a scream: "Ah! Jumping spider! It's another jumping spider! This one is bigger, damn it, it's about half the size of my palm! Pastor! Mr. Pastor, come and save me! I was bitten by a jumping spider! Ah arm!" I can’t lift it up anymore, the poison is attacking! Damn it, why is it so fast?!”

So everyone stopped yelling and searched for jumping spiders.This giant jungle jumping spider is a variant of the common jumping spider. It not only has excellent eyesight, but also has exceptionally good jumping ability. It can reach more than half the height of a person in one jump, reaching multiples of its own length!It is equivalent to an ordinary person jumping [-] steps away!At the same time, it has an unusually ferocious temperament, and when it encounters an "invasion" by a foreign enemy, it will fly up like lightning and kill the opponent with lightning speed.Of course, how can the soldiers let go of such a good opportunity to stagnate and rest?They stopped yelling and looked for the "spider" who jumped to nowhere.

Haimina stared coldly at the pretending crowd, and gave the order helplessly after a long while: "Take a rest. It's time for lunch."

When everyone was about to sit down and rest, they found a very serious problem---there was no place to sit down!

The dead leaves under my feet are either rotten and smelly mud, or large, brightly colored insects crawling around, and I can tell that they are covered with poison at a glance!If you sit down, you will be bitten.And the priest's removal of poison is running out.Moreover, the surrounding woods are extremely dense, and there is no place to release the stone house of the shelter.Everyone can only lean on the trunk for a little rest.My mouth began to complain extremely: "This is exhausting people! If I knew I would come to such a ghostly place, I would rather die in a battle under a certain castle! At least there is a place to bury the corpse! Unlike here, If you die, you will be gnawed by those disgusting insects with long tentacles and strange legs all over your body."

As soon as someone said it, more people complained, and the words became more and more ugly, most of them were secretly accusing Hymina.

Hai Mina was secretly annoyed, when the mage next to her sent another worse news: there was not much food hidden in the dimensional space of the magic window!Since the soldiers did not carry bows and arrows, they could not use magic missiles, acid arrows and other long-range spells to hunt and kill animals for food like arcane vanguards.If they don't retreat quickly, they will have to rely on the pastor's "grain making skill" to make rations in three or four days.But that would certainly hit morale again.

Is that the end?Hymina was very annoyed, and cut off the big tree as thick as an arm with a sword.

Amidst the panicked running of the crowd, the big tree let out a rumble of death and slowly fell down.A trace of sunlight finally appeared between the gaps in the leaves.Looking up at the rare dazzling light, Hymina made the final decision cruelly.
