Chapter 229: The sky is full of little stars
...
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Lei only felt a star appearing in his eyes, and there was a sea of fire in front of him. Everything he saw seemed to be full of red. Wherever he saw, except for red or red, how could he tell the direction? It would be better to really close his eyes and run around casually.
But when it comes to the clothes on her body, it’s really not covered!
The clothes made of golden silk and silver threads were indeed invaded by flames. The vague flame tongue around was one foot away from Xiao Lei, so he hid away and never touched Xiao Lei's body. Although it was very hot, fortunately he could still bear it.
"Now I feel sympathy for roast duck... I swear that if I can go out safely, I will never eat roast duck in my life. But... what direction is there..."
Xiao Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't dare to stay at his feet. He had been running for a long time. Although there was no end ahead, there was also flames around him.
"Hey! Are you still here?"
Xiao Lei suddenly stopped and shouted loudly.
"Boy, what are you going to stay?"
Little Lei laughed: "You are there, you have been watching me?"
No answer.
Xiao Lei smiled bitterly and said, "At least tell me, is the right direction I am going now? Even if you are about to die, you should be mentally prepared for me. Even if you are in the process of slaughtering, you should give me a bowl of Broken Soul-Breaking Wine?"
"It was right just now." The voice seemed to sigh: "But just half an hour ago, you accidentally circled the left and went wrong."
"Ah! Going wrong?" Xiao Lei shouted, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Have you asked me again?" The voice seemed to be quite dissatisfied.
Xiao Lei cursed angrily: "Nonsense! How do I know where this ghost place is the right direction! You don't say anything when you see me going wrong, just burn me to death!"
After saying that, he simply sat down on the ground and cursed: "Damn it, don't run away!"
As soon as his butt touched the ground, Xiao Lei screamed in pain, and suddenly started to rush, cursing: "Hot! Hot! Hot! So fucking hot! You guy, aren't you fun playing with me? You won't run away anymore! I won't play with you anymore!"
The voice was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed quietly: "Forget it, I looked at you differently, but I didn't want you to be so lazy. You must know that if you want to cultivate supreme supernatural powers and do not have a strong will, how can you do it?"
Xiao Lei said: "I was burned here, smoked, and ran around like a fool. What you said is light!"
"Oh..." The voice said slowly: "The people in this world no longer have the supreme and strong will of my disciple in the past. Boy, let me ask you, how is your current magical cultivation?"
"It should be the period of practice."
"Very good. What you learned is the wonderful secret of the true nature. This is in heaven and earth. Many practitioners dream of it and cannot get it. But you learned it easily. Is this your fortune?"
Xiao Lei curled his lips: "That's my good fortune! The fortune I have cultivated in my previous life!"
"Okay... I'll ask you again, this skill of defiance and the sword of defiance is also a magical power that is overwhelming in heaven and earth. In order to learn this skill of defiance, that man was dormant in Emei Mountain on earth for thousands of years but could not get it, but you learned it with ease. Is this your fortune?"
"..." Xiao Lei couldn't help but speak in his mind. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was lucky and was really unreasonable.
"You have three supernatural powers, and no matter how you practice, you are the top choice. But you are still young and have been reborn and obtained the body of a half-immortal. With a simple move, you have crossed the threshold that millions of practitioners in the world can never cross in their entire lives, right?"
"Yes!" Xiao Lei said loudly: "Okay! Even if I take so many advantages, should I be a roast duck here?"
"What a pity... Although you have no shortage of fortune adventures, you are not short of the determination and determination to be loyal to the Tao. If you continue like this, you will achieve success in the future. It is naturally not difficult to become an immortal... But there are many immortals in the heaven. Even if you reach the heaven, with your cultivation level, you are just a low-level little immortal official. Are you willing?"
"Ah?" Xiao Lei was stunned. He had never thought about the things this person said. He couldn't help but speechless when he suddenly said this.
The voice continued: "By your fortune and opportunity, it is a thing of the past. Throughout history, there has never been a person who has such opportunities as fortune. In just twenty years old, he has obtained so many magical skills and fortunes in vain. I originally wanted to enlighten you, but I didn't want you to be so unbearable..."
"Hi!" Xiao Lei shouted, "How did you know that I don't have perseverance? When I was learning the arts, I suffered a lot!"
Although Xiao Lei said this, a strange feeling came to his heart.
You know, Xiao Lei has always been quite proud. He has cultivated such a state of ability at such a young age. He can't find a second person in the world. He has always been proud of him. But when he thinks about it carefully today, everything he has obtained seems to be due to luck, but he has not tried much. In a vague sense, he can't help but feel something is wrong...
The voice said slowly, "I will only tell you one person... Before he first learned the art, he had no magic power, nor had he learned any magic skills. He was also free from flying by nature and was unbearable, but he had the supreme perseverance to be devoted to the Tao! When he was seeking art that day, he was already a hundred years old! Many times longer than you now! He had no magical skills, two was not a master in the practice period, and three was never a chance to be reborn, without you
The half-immortal body... But he dared to draw a small raft alone, cross the ocean, float across the sea, and travel around the world! He has been wandering among thousands of mountains and rivers for more than ten years, but he has been in danger during this period, but he has never retreated. Finally, he has learned his skills and has done great things that no one has ever been able to reach in history! His fortune was far inferior to you, and his luck was even worse than you, but his perseverance was a hundred times stronger than you!"
Xiao Lei's heart moved: "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else... haven't you heard of his name? It's that Sun Wukong!"
"Sun...Sun Wukong?" Xiao Lei blurted out: "He?"
The voice smiled and said, "You might as well think about it. If you can figure it out, it will not be too late to talk to me again!"
Xiao Lei was strange in his heart, and he felt that there was something faintly touching deep in his heart, but that feeling was faintly vague, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment...
Sun Wukong?
The Monkey King?
Fight against Buddha?
These names are so well-known! A golden cudgel made the demons in the world flee! The 100,000 heavenly soldiers were helpless, and the Jade Emperor could not sit firmly in the Heavenly Court...
However, how many people still remember that this number one hero in the immortal world of the public throughout the ages, what opportunities did he have for success?
Xiao Lei clearly remembers that in the legend, this monkey was a stone monkey transformed from the spirit stone of heaven and earth. He spent hundreds of years in the Huaguo Mountain. Not to mention any martial arts and immortal arts, it has no foundation at all!
It was not until hundreds of years old that I suddenly sighed that life in the world was impermanent and had a heart for Taoism. I took this raft and floated across the sea, seeking Taoism all over the world!
Yes!
What luck and luck did this monkey have?
He has never been like the "hero" in third-rate novels. He can pick up a secret book by jumping off the cliff, and he will have hundreds of years of skill after just eating a elixir.
He didn't have an uncle who could use magic at the same time, nor did he learn the best magic tricks in the world at the age of nineteen! Even the peach... Before he learned the art in Huaguo Mountain, how could he know what the peach was? As for the heavenly bell and the Qiankun Mirror... Before he learned the art, how could he have any magic weapons? How could he have seen any magic weapons like himself? He had a semi-immortal body for no reason?
How could he have been like himself? There were so many senior brothers and masters who were rushing to give him a lot of magic weapons and spiritual pills to ruin?
How could he have a senior brother who has great supernatural powers to protect him?
When I think about it carefully, the reason why Sun Wukong is Sun Wukong seems to be because he met the Bodhi Patriarch and learned the Tao.
But before he attained enlightenment, he was just a money-maker with no foundation and no special nature.
If you think about it carefully, most practitioners in the world and the earth have much better innate conditions than Sun Wukong. But in the end, such a monkey achieved the immortal achievements in the past life!!
His attainment was nothing more than a hard work to ask for! He ignored danger and was not afraid of life and death. With a small sacred body, he dared to travel across mountains and rivers, cross the oceans, and "seeking" after hardships!
The reason why Master Bodhi accepted him as his disciple was because of his loyalty to the Tao and not fearing difficulties!
The others are gone.
Xiao Lei sat quietly for a long time and suddenly whispered: "You...who are you?"
The voice slowly said, "Have you figured it out?"
Xiao Lei frowned. There was no longer a hippie smile on his face, nor a little tired. He said solemnly: "No... it seems that he has figured it out a little, but it seems that he hasn't."
After a pause, Xiao Lei suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just sitting here thinking, can't I understand it for three days and three nights and I'll be burned to death? Where is the correct direction you are talking about?"
The voice was silent for a moment: "The door is already in front of you. If you can connect, you will naturally step in one step. If you can't figure it out, even if you run into ten or eight days, three or five years, you will not be able to get in."
Xiao Lei smiled and closed his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyelids, the illusion in his mind immediately arose...
It seems that I am no longer in a sea of fire, but it seems that I have seen the things I have experienced in this life, one by one, shaking in front of my eyes.
When he was thirteen years old, his uncle Wu Daozi deceived him to learn some strange methods of regulating internal breath from him. He learned the basic steps that were actually the entry-level method of Xiaoyao footwork, "Step the Seven Star Steps in the Backward Step", learned the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui Physics...
At the age of nineteen, he went to Mount Emei and entered the Xiaoyao Sect. Xiaoyaozi taught his own magic and learned various magical powers of the Xiaoyao Sect, Qing Lingzi's Yuanzhen magic tricks, and broke the mountain.
It seemed as if everything was just let it go, and it happened naturally. It seemed that deep in my mind, I had never really made any decision. I never thought about whether I should ask for this "Tao".
It seems that when they teach, they learn by themselves. If they don’t teach, they don’t learn by themselves. As for what will happen in the future after they learn, what will happen in the future, that has never been turned into my mind.
Becoming an immortal? It seems that I have never been really interested in this.
Yes, they taught, so I learned it. If they don’t teach it? Will I still learn it? Will I ask for it?
If you realize the Tao, you don’t even know whether you want to understand it. How can you realize this Tao?
Now, after eating the red fruit, my magic power increased greatly. The spiritual energy in the half-immortal body was transformed into magic power, and almost overnight, I became a master. So what? Then what? What about?
With my own temperament, I never like to think about future things and the things in front of me, and just live by the way. I really don’t think that things in the future are so far away.
So what is the meaning of the Tao you learned?
Or, what is the difference if you don’t learn Tao? Is it just to learn magic to fly into the sky and get happy in the world? It seems that if you have money now, you can still get happy, so what magic can you learn?
Are you really interested in things like "becoming a great immortal in a hundred years"?
When you learn Taoism and magic by yourself, it seems that the idea of "funny" in your heart accounts for most of it.
Xiao Lei just sat there, his face changed with a changeable expression. He suddenly smiled and sighed. It was just that time was not long, but he opened his eyes and smiled again, "Are you still here?"
"You figured it out?"
"It's still not." Xiao Lei replied without hesitation: "I didn't think it through, and I didn't want to think about it anymore." He suddenly cursed again: "The problem is too heavy and huge. It's nothing more than what life is about me and what I am about life. This heavy philosophical problem is left to those philosophers. I didn't have much thoughts at first, as long as I live a long way to go. As for whether I want to ask for anything or not, let's talk about it. In life, why set yourself a big and huge ambition... If I make my own choice, I'll be happy... Hey, if you want to find someone who is dedicated to the Tao, not afraid of difficulties and is determined, you are looking for the wrong person. I'm not!"
Xiao Lei said this slowly, but the voice suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay! Although you haven't figured it out yet, you can at least understand it."
After a pause, he suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know? When Sun Wukong was seeking Taoism, he never said anything noble in his heart. The reason why that monkey seeks Taoism was actually because he was afraid of death and wanted to learn immortality. He traveled across the ocean. I just hope that you can figure out what you really want. As for whether the purpose is big or small, whether the realm is high or low, it is a personal fortune, and you cannot force it. What you are most afraid of is that you are confused in your heart but don't know what you want to do. Isn't that bad?"
Little Lei laughed and said, "Now I am trusting, you won't burn me to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the flames roaring around him, and all the space around him was distorted and changed. He saw a flash in front of him, but he found himself sitting in a small square place!
The flames burned themselves all over their bodies, but the flames still did not hurt their bodies. Looking around, there were eight small gaps around them, and the flames couldn't help but rush out towards the gap.
"Yi? Why are you still sitting in the fire? It's just that the big oven has turned into a small oven!" Xiao Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Who are you? It's okay to sit in the sea of fire just now, at least the space is still bigger. Why are you locked in such a small place? My waist can't even straighten... Hey, I'm not afraid of fire, but the place here is too small and I'm very stuffy."
"You are ignorant. You have been sitting here since you jumped into the sea of fire. Just now you ran around and back, but it was just an illusion in my formation. Don't say too much! You have to sit here for three more days! To save your life, I forced myself to borrow this Bagua alchemy furnace from the Taishang Laojun, just to refine the thing in your hand! You sit inside obediently, don't move around, otherwise, if that thing comes alive, even if the Buddha of Tathagata comes, you will not be able to save you!"
The Eight Trigrams of the Taishang Laojun? Tathagata Buddha?
Damn! Brother, I can’t understand what you said! Who are you?
The voice outside the stove smiled indifferently and whispered: "The heart is a Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing originally, but where is it like dust? I am called Bodhi, have you never heard of it?"
When Xiao Lei heard this, he couldn't help but jump up. He heard a "clang" sound, and his forehead hit the top of the furnace. His eyes were filled with stars, but he shouted: "Bodhi Bodhi!! Are you Bodhi Patriarch of the Bodhi Patriarch in the Seiyue Sanxing Cave?"
"Ignorance child!" The voice outside sank and shouted, "Why are you calling for the Bodhi Patriarch! Why don't you call me Master!"
"Master...Master?" Xiao Lei's eyes were filled with stars, and he suddenly shouted, "What Master?"
"Oh, if you don't want to shout now, then wait for you to come out and talk about it. Let's get a little bit more fire for you first!"
Chapter completed!
