Immortal Journey

Chapter 42 Overcome and Breakthrough

When Ren Ling woke up, she found herself lying on a stone bed, looking around, it was a very simple room, except for a square stone table in front of the stone bed, there was nothing else.
What is this place?
Slowly retracting her scrutiny, Ren Ling supported her body and sat up halfway. The throbbing pain in her head made her frown, and her eyes turned black again.
"Ling'er, come out when you wake up."

From nowhere came Lingru Shizu's faint voice, Ren Ling's heart froze, she quickly got out of bed and opened the door, walked not far along the long corridor, the familiar scenery told her that she had come to Lingru Shizu's cave again .
Lingru master sat cross-legged in the north of the main hall, eyes slightly closed, with a calm face, Ren Ling quickly walked to the futon not far in front of her, knelt down with his knees together, "disciple has seen master."

"Ling'er, let me recite a book as a teacher and listen."

Ren Ling was taken aback for a moment, lowered his head, and replied, "The disciple respects the order of the teacher."

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature..." A voice as clear as water echoed in the huge cave, slowly and slowly, "The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three give birth to all things. Everything bears the yin and embraces the yang, and thinks of harmony with the qi. It is the mistake of people..."

After a long time, when Ren Ling had finished memorizing the book of Taoism, Ling Ru nodded faintly, and said, "Ling'er, tell me what you have learned about the book of Taoism."

"Okay," Ren Ling nodded, pondered for a while, and said softly, "Man imitates the earth, the earth imitates the sky, the sky imitates the Tao, and the Tao imitates the whole nature..."

"Excellent."

Lingru master opened his eyes, his eyes were as calm as the endless sky, "Ling'er, do you know that if my teacher didn't break your illusion and stop you, you might have been deeply affected by the demon at this moment." Harm, at the slightest, it will waste a body of cultivation, and at the worst, it will perish in the world?"

Ren Ling's hands trembled when she heard the words, cold sweat dripped down her back immediately, and all the events of the day of the competition flashed in her mind like a slow motion, like a hot iron passing by again one by one, she resisted the stinging pain and turned pale There were heavy teeth marks on his lips.
Master Lingru sighed softly, "Ling'er, one is to increase one's cultivation, and the other is to restrain one's inner demons. If the inner demons are not eliminated for a day, they will always become ghosts and ghosts on your way of cultivating the Tao, hindering you. Steps to move forward. Your temperament is calm and light, and it is most suitable for cultivation and Taoism. Although I don’t know why you suddenly have such serious demons as a teacher, but only you can save yourself from this hurdle.”

Tears welled up in Ren Ling's eyes, and he replied in a vague voice, "My disciple, thank you for your guidance."

"Forget it," Master Lingru raised his hand and stroked lightly, and a paper book appeared in front of Ren Ling, "You should copy this book three thousand times, every day from Chen to You, and spend the rest of the time on cultivation. "

"Yes," Ren Ling picked up the book, and saw that it was written on the cover that it was a book he had never read before, and it was about a few hundred pages thick, "This disciple is going back to Shutong Xiaoyuan...?"

"Let's just practice in your room just now." Ling Ru raised her hand slightly to signal, "Come here in half a month and see me as a teacher."

ten days later.
The corners of the room were neatly piled up with Ren Ling's transcribed papers, and she was putting away the last stroke in front of the stone table, "Finally copied three thousand times."

At this moment, she looks peaceful and natural, and the expression between her eyebrows and eyes has returned to her usual appearance. A book was written by Master Lingru herself, explaining the basic theories of Taoism and the essentials of comprehension. In the past ten days, whether it is fast or slow It's not slow, every copying made Ren Ling understand something new, and now her understanding of cultivating immortality and enlightenment is deeper than ten days ago.
"Master told me to go see her half a month later." Putting the paper away, Ren Ling thought, "There are still five days left, I will use it for cultivation."

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, she did not immediately enter the state of breath adjustment, but half-closed her eyes, opened the door of memory again, and brought herself back to the day of the finals.
"A cultivator of the Tao is ruthless. If you are ruthless, you will have no desires. If you have no desires, you will be strong. The Dao can only be walked if you are ruthless."

Suddenly, I remembered what my mother had said, and Ren Ling felt a lot of emotion. She thought that she couldn't understand what her mother meant at that time, and even argued with her. Now, the personal experience is more impressive than anything else. , I am afraid that it is deeply engraved in the bone marrow.
"The road of the Great Dao, every minute and every second really cannot be ignored," Ren Ling thought repeatedly, "Even if you stand side by side with your allies and fight against the enemy, you can't entrust your life to your trust, even that This is a life-and-death moment, and I have to remember to stay on guard."

The ten days of quiet thinking have gradually dispelled her inner demons caused by resentment. In fact, Ren Ling's temperament is indeed very suitable for cultivation. After she calms down, the way for her to soothe her pain is not to hide it or complain about others , but to analyze what she did wrong in the whole process? In her opinion, it is not so much that Huang Hetian's blow from the back made her fall into a demon, but it is because she still lacks understanding of Taoism that she made such a mistake .
On the road of cultivation, you must never trust anyone easily.
Another five days passed in a blink of an eye. After Ren Ling, who had entered into a state of cultivation, woke up, he found that his body was covered in mud. Luck looked inside, and found that he had unknowingly broken through to the sixth level of Qi training!
Exercising the Dust Purification Technique to clean myself up, I suddenly feel comfortable and refreshed. What happened half a month ago is as fine as dust, and I don't even remember it.
Sweetly showing her first smile in half a month, Ren Ling hugged her and pushed the door open.
Shutong Xiaoyuan.
It was noon when Ren Ling returned to Shutong Xiaoyuan, the sun was shining brightly from among the big trees in the courtyard, there was a person leaning under the tree, she squinted and saw that it was Zhong Yu who was lost in thought.
"Brother Zhong."

"Sister Ling?!"

Zhong Yu looked at Ren Ling who was standing at the gate of Xiaoyuan in surprise, and came to her in a flash, "How are you, Senior Sister Ling?"

"I'm fine," Ren Ling smiled gracefully, nodded and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Zhong, for your concern."

"I..." Zhong Yu shook his head and sighed, his handsome face seemed to be a few minutes thinner, and there was a faint blue color in his eyes,
"It's good for the senior sister to come back, that day... really made Yu worry too much."

"I'm fine, really." Sensing the concern conveyed by Zhong Yu, Ren Ling still smiled peacefully, and walked towards the garden, intending to go back to the room to practice and consolidate her realm, "Junior Brother Zhong, I'll go back to the room first."

"Wait," Zhong Yu called her, "Senior Sister Ling, we won No.2 in the final, and three top-grade artifacts were rewarded in the gate. Pick first."

"Oh?" If he didn't mention Ren Ling, he would have forgotten about it, and he was curious when he thought of the high-grade magic weapon, so he smiled and nodded, "If that's the case, let's take a look."
