Infinite true path

Finally, Huan Yin stopped on a towering tree in the northeast of the Fierce Ghost Forest, and simply cleared out a place among the branches of the big tree for him to meditate and practice.

The reason why he chose the tree was because Huan Yin discovered through observation that those fierce ghosts would not normally climb the tree unless they encountered some accident, and would only wander around on the ground. Therefore, as long as he hides his aura well in the tree, he will not be disturbed for no reason, so that he can practice with peace of mind.

After Huan Yin tidied up the place, he quickly sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation. However, in this current state, he is actually not practicing anything. Under Xue Buping's observation, Huan Yin quickly entered a quiet state, and even more intentionally developed towards the ethereal.

Xue Buping naturally thought that Huan Yin needed to meditate before practicing the method of summoning spirits, but in fact, what Huan Yin was doing was to let go of his attachment to the "Infinite Earth Sutra".

Huan Yin knows what is the real priority, and he also knows that now he has a rare opportunity to completely calm down and let go of his obsessions, so he will not let this great opportunity go to waste.

Forgetting the "Infinite Earth Sutra" is just a word "forget", but in fact it is extremely difficult for any monk. After all, monks spend their whole life practicing Taoism to learn more, not to ignore Taoism. Don't ask. In this way, if the matter of giving up the obsession with Tao is placed on Huan Yin, a Taoist idiot, the difficulty will be even more unimaginable.

Therefore, for Huan Yin, a monk with an excellent mind, he could completely enter an ethereal state in less than half a day, allowing himself to be completely quiet, without even the slightest disturbance in his heart. However, this was based on the fact that he had not yet begun to let go of his obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra".

Half a day later, when Huan Yin really started to try what he wanted to do, his brows furrowed in just a moment, and the aura on his body suddenly became chaotic. The ethereal state he had obtained for the previous half day was instantly broken. Said, even his own breath almost came out through the faceless covering.

"How could you forget the Tao?" There seemed to be a voice that kept whirling in Huan Yin's mind, like a repeated question. Sweat immediately soaked his back. Huan Yin took a deep breath and tried to calm down again under Xue Buping's extremely puzzled gaze.

Such a simple attempt was just the first step in trying to let go of the obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra", but Huan Yin spent a full five days. During these five days, Xue Buping couldn't help but want to ask Huan Yin what he was doing. If he hadn't found that Huan Yin had always been extremely focused, he might have asked.

Of course, during these five days, as Huan Yin tried again and again, his condition became better and better, becoming more and more stable. It was not until the last attempt on the fifth day that he finally became completely silent. Although there were still waves in his heart when he tried to let go of his obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra", he was able to hold it back.

"I don't really want to give up the "Infinite Earth Sutra", nor do I really want to forget my pursuit of the Tao. I do this just to set myself free so that I can pursue the Tao as I please and achieve great freedom." Huan Yin said. Tell yourself this in your heart. Such thoughts, which were like enlightenment, had actually appeared in his mind hundreds of times in the past few days.

Huan Yin found that forgetting the Tao was many times more difficult than realizing it, and in order to temporarily forget a Tao, he needed to give himself too many reasons, which could be regarded as realizing more and more profound truths.

In particular, Huan Yin had a worry in his heart. He was afraid that he would really forget the Tao and his pursuit of the Tao. Then even if he could really enter the Ghost King Palace, it would be like wasting his life.

This is a matter of degree of control. What Huan Yin really needs to achieve is not to forget completely, but to let go temporarily. As for picking it up again, it was when he actually stepped into the Ghost King's Palace and saw the "Infinite Earth Sutra".

Since Huan Yin seemed to have completely calmed down, he had been immersed in it for twenty-six days, and he had been staying on top of the big tree for a full month.

During these more than twenty days, what Xue Buping could see was that Huan Yin remained motionless, and his whole body looked ethereal, as if he had done nothing. This had to make him suspicious. If he hadn't known that cultivators could not be disturbed at will, he would have asked questions long ago due to his temperament.

Of course, there was something that Xue Buping could do to pass the time here, so that he would not be too bored, and he could not bother Huan Yin. This matter was to observe the hungry ghosts and fierce ghosts walking under the big tree where Huan Yin was. According to Xue Buping's detailed calculation, during these twenty-six days, there were three waves of hungry ghosts passing under Huan Yin, making a total of fourteen. All but one of them traveled together.

As for the fierce ghosts, Xue Buping saw no less than a hundred passing by in so many days, and several of them passed by repeatedly several times. Of course, no matter whether they were hungry ghosts or fierce ghosts, they did not notice the existence of Huan Yin, or maybe they were lucky, and they did not trigger a battle next to Huan Yin.

Twenty-six days later, Huan Yin finally woke up from that immersed state. When he opened his eyes, there was an unconcealable tiredness in his eyes.

For so many days, he seemed calm on the outside, but only he knew that under his calm appearance, for such a long time, he had been going through extremely contradictory and intense inner affairs. struggle. This kind of struggle made him feel out of breath occasionally. Fortunately, he persisted and never had any accidents.

This time, Huan Yin did not succeed. On the contrary, the more he tried to let go of his obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra", the more he found that it was too difficult. However, fortunately, these twenty-six days were not wasted. Huan Yin found the state of trying to forget the Tao, which also alleviated his desire for the "Infinite Earth Sutra".

"Hey..." A soft sigh came from Huan Yin's mouth, and he didn't know whether it was a sigh or a breath. Xue Buping, who had been in a state of boredom, quickly caught this sigh, and unexpectedly asked quickly: "Second Ancestor, are you awake?"

Nodding, Huan Yin responded: "How many days have passed, nothing happened, right?"

Xue Buping said: "There is no trouble, but it has been twenty-six days. What have you done these twenty-six days? It seems to me that you have not cultivated."

Smiling, Huan Yin said: "Cultivation of the mind is also cultivation, ancestor, don't ask any more questions. I didn't expect that it was already January, and my total plan to stay in this ghost forest was only two months. That’s it, half of it is over, it’s so fast.”

Having said this, Huan Yin subconsciously looked around him, and after confirming that nothing had changed, he thought to himself: "It is not a good thing to be too eager for success. For now, let's just read the "Infinite Earth Sutra" Let the matter go for a while, and I will spend the rest of the month quietly practicing the art of summoning spirits."

Huan Yin couldn't help but feel a little headache again when he thought about the ghost summoning. This method of summoning spirits is the second fundamental method, and it is also a rather strange method. Its purpose is that "animals are all vain." Wanting to practice this Taoism is somewhat similar to trying to give up the obsession with the "Infinite Earth Sutra". It basically focuses on understanding and cultivating the mind. In other words, it is to make oneself believe in the purpose of spiritual conquest through practice.

If it had been before, Huan Yin would never have believed that "animals are all vain". But now, because he has some of the beast mother's spiritual power, he already believes a little more. It's just that this kind of faith is still too shallow. If you want to go deeper, Huan Yin knows that it will be difficult.

"Ancestor, I plan to practice for another month, and then we will walk out of the Fierce Ghost Forest. This month, I still need you to help me be more vigilant. If anything unexpected happens while I am enlightening, you must immediately report it to me. I'll wake up." Huan Yin said to Xue Buping, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

After sighing, Xue Buping responded: "Hey, I'm such a miserable ancestor. I'm bored all day long, and I have to work as a guard for you."

After laughing, Huan Yin said: "Don't worry, ancestor, I will definitely keep your kindness in mind. When you leave this ghost realm, I will do my best to help you find the demon body."

Xue Buping could hardly generate much enthusiasm for Huan Yin's words. He responded casually and then said: "Okay, okay, who asked me to come out of hell with you? You can cultivate yourself." The way."

Without any further hesitation, Huan Yin quickly closed his eyes again and began to practice the spirit-conquering Taoism under the cover of the faceless power.

This time, it is still almost a process of enlightenment. Fortunately, Huan Yin didn't have many conflicts in his heart about practicing this method, so he quickly entered the state, turned his whole person into ethereal, and began to comprehend it carefully.

This time, thirty-three days of immersion passed easily. In fact, even if thirty-three days have passed, Huan Yin still doesn't want to open his eyes. If he hadn't known that he still had important things to do, and forcibly awakened himself from the state of enlightenment, he might have been left in this fierce ghost forest. Having been immersed in it for decades, he would not feel anything wrong.
