The thunderstorm fell for a long time before it slowly dissipated, and the clouds in the sky were still accumulating, which was depressing to look at.

Walking out of the courtyard, the group walked into the distance, out of the city, and walked down the river that passed through the city, although the river was not enough to support the boats, but at the end of the river, there was a large river.

Walking along the river to the riverbank, the wooden boat in the Qiankun bag in Chen Zimeng's arms had a role, all the way down the river, the boat did not go fast, but it was not slow.

The big river at the foot is not too wide, the water flow is not urgent, the place where it flows is very flat, basically plain, rarely see mountains, but along the river, there are many riverside cities.

The fire girl stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance in a daze, the beacon fire came closer, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I remember that we used to go down a big river downstream, well, I hadn't transformed at that time, but I vaguely remembered that Murong, Li Li, and Sister Feng Ling were all there, and there was a little girl named Su Yi, who is now the queen of the Tang Kingdom!"

The fire girl looked dazed, crying and laughing: "But I don't know these people you said!"

Fenghuo turned his head and chuckled: "Xingyan is going to pick them up, I believe that in a few years, you will be able to get to know them." ”

"What are they cultivating?"

"Ask the robbery, there is also the Transformation Realm!"

The fire girl smiled bitterly, "So, isn't it embarrassing for me to stand with them?

Beacon was surprised: "You still care about this?"

In the wooden boat, Chen Zimeng sat cross-legged, with Taoist intentions circulating on his body, and in his body, there were countless flowers on the other side swaying.

Jiang Chi was sitting beside him, slowly swallowing and breathing, and when the beacon fire walked in, Chen Zimeng had just finished his practice.

He looked at the beacon fire, and the beacon fire bypassed him and took a set of tea sets, and Chen Zimeng suddenly became puzzled.

"Beacon, do you know how to make tea?"

"No!" Beacon Fire looked natural, she raised the teacup in her hand, and smiled: "Fire Girl will! I've never drunk tea, and I don't cook it myself." ”

Chen Zimeng watched the beacon fire go out, stretched out his hand and waved, only to see the curtain in front of the boat lowered, separating the outside of the ship from the inside of the ship, and the beacon fire and the fire girl outside were commonplace, and the two sat in the bow of the boat, one boiling tea, and the other waiting to drink.

The wooden boat went down the river for many days, and on the wharf of a riverside city, Chen Zimeng and several people got off the boat to rest.

The city is very large, because of the river, there are many merchants in the city, all of whom come here by boat to conduct trade, and there are monks escorted along the way, probably like other families or small sect forces.

Chen Zimeng and they planned to stay in the city for a few days, but after looking for a long time, they did not find a place to stay, and when they inquired, it turned out that several nearby sect families were going to hold a martial arts competition in the city, so for a period of time, the inns in the city were almost full, and there were many monks who came to visit.

Chen Zimeng led a few people to bypass the bustling places and pick some gloomy paths to walk, and in fact, as he guessed, there were still such small inns in such places.

Choosing a fairly clean inn to live in, Chen Zimeng lay on his back on the bed, thinking about whether the next step was to continue down the river to the sea, or stop halfway and enter the mountains.

There was a knock on the door, Chen Zimeng said enter, and then the fire girl pushed the door and walked in.

"Are there better?"

Chen Zimeng asked, there are two meanings in the question, one is to ask about the body of the fire girl, and the other is to ask the fire girl's Dao heart.

It is a very helpless thing for a monk to lose his Dao heart, and it is a trivial matter for his cultivation to stagnate after losing it, and what he is most afraid of is that his cultivation will fall, and the realm that he has originally obtained with great difficulty in hard cultivation may turn into clouds and smoke overnight.

Chen Zimeng was particularly concerned about the Fire Maiden, because he knew that when the Fire Maiden's Dao Heart was not cured, it was very likely that her life would be endangered, and the Fire Maiden had lived for hundreds of years, and if her cultivation was dispersed, she would instantly go to the state of old age and weakness, dying of old age.

Because a mortal only has a lifespan of a hundred years.

Under Chen Zimeng's care, the fire girl felt relieved, and she smiled and relieved: "Don't be too nervous, I am measured, and nothing bad will happen." ”

"This matter is already a bad thing, Fire Girl, you are still in a stable state, otherwise the one who appears in front of me will be your grave. ”

The fire girl was angry and glanced at Chen Zimeng, "Can you hope that I will be better?"

Chen Zimeng chuckled twice, then closed his eyes and said nothing, there were many things in his heart, and thinking about them one by one at this moment made him a little helpless.

The fire girl asked in a low voice: "What kind of martial arts competition, do you want to go and see it?" It is said that it is a Taoist exchange conference jointly organized by the three major families, and all kinds of people will appear at that time, and they will also bring all kinds of new gadgets, which should be very fun. ”

"Go ahead! I've felt a bottleneck in my Dao Fa for a while, and I plan to practice it well in the next few days, and I'll talk about it when I'm done cultivating the Dao Fa!" 16 Read a book

Chen Zimeng propped up the bed with both hands, sat up slowly, he turned his head to look out of the window, and it happened that the person opposite opened the window, and his eyes happened to sweep over.

It was a woman in white, with an indifferent expression, but after seeing Chen Zimeng, she nodded politely, then walked inward and disappeared from the window.

Chen Zimeng sighed, "Living in such an alley is sometimes very embarrassing. ”

The fire girl was noncommittal, but slowly turned around and left, she said: "I went with Fenghuo, Jiang Chi stayed here, you can find him if you have something." ”

"I shouldn't be fine, you guys go!"

After Chen Zimeng left, he waved his sleeves, and the window naturally closed, and the curtains were also closed.

The light in the room dimmed suddenly, but sitting in the dark, there was a faint light on Chen Zimeng's body, he sat cross-legged, his body sat straight, his hands were flat on his knees, his heart sank, and then he began to comprehend the Dao.

In the house opposite him, the woman in white who had opened the curtains came to the window again, looking at Chen Zimeng with a hint of curiosity and surprise in her indifferent expression.

"It turns out that he is also a true immortal, and it seems that he is the same as me, and he also came here to experience the red dust of the world and understand the so-called smoke and clouds of the world. ”

The woman in white stared blankly, she was a little distracted, and it took a while to come back to her senses, she laughed, and thought to herself.

"But if he sits in the room like this and meditates on enlightenment, how can he comprehend any Dao Fa? This half-step of breaking through the Heavenly Immortals is not something that can be surpassed by penance, doesn't this person know?"

The woman in white walked away from the window, and Chen Zimeng's window never opened again, he sat in the room and felt it carefully, but his heart was constantly trembling.

In a world full of cold, Chen Zimeng walked thinly clothed, wondering if his perception of the Tao was wrong, and the next moment he went to a lively market full of lights and laughter.

There is a restaurant in front of him, and behind him is an empty small square, there is a ring in the square, and there are two people in the ring who are competing, both are mortal martial artists, and the punch and kick are extremely intense, attracting the cheers of the surrounding crowd.

This is one of the many states in the world.

Chen Zimeng turned his head to look into the distance, only to see the long street undulating, the streets were full of pedestrians, and the streets were lined with shops.

is a very prosperous street market, but Chen Zimeng sighed in his heart, "The red dust is disturbed, such a scene is not even the tip of the iceberg, the red dust in the world, this little is not enough, far from enough!"

Closing his eyes slightly, when Chen Zimeng opened it again, the surrounding scene had changed, at this time he was riding a small boat, sliding on a very strange river, surrounded by shimmering light, particularly dazzling.

The river below him was splashing with waves, and there were water droplets, and Chen Zimeng saw very sharply that in that drop of water, there was a person who died of old age, sickness and death, and in just a moment, he had gone through the whole life.

The droplets, from splashing to falling, are all he has from birth to death.

So Chen Zimeng was stunned, looked at the continuous waves of the river below him, and smiled dumbly.

Under your feet, it is the long river of years!

Every wave is the process from the appearance to the fall of a world, and it is only a blink of an eye in Chen Zimeng's eyes, but for that world, this is a lifetime.

Chen Zimeng bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to hold a handful of river water, and in his palm, countless lives were born, and then they were extinguished.

Throwing the water out, Chen Zimeng smiled with satisfaction, "This is the red dust, associated with time, the red dust becomes meaningful in time, but it also becomes short, life and death are scattered, happy or sad, life is all kind, or an emperor, or a scavenger, it is all red dust, and in the end all this is annihilation, from nothingness, but also back to nothingness, people's hearts are original, where to go, I took a boat on the long river of these years, I saw a lot, but also very little, I think I should understand." ”

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from Chen Zimeng's body, and the entire room was filled, and the faint light was about to disperse outward, but it was blocked by a prohibition, which was arranged by Chen Zimeng before he began to comprehend the Dao Law, and at this moment, it helped him a lot.

The mind woke up from the silence, and on his forehead, an extra point of light suddenly appeared in the place where the robbery flower mark was, and after a slight flash, it exploded like fireworks, turning into countless streamers across Chen Zimeng's cheeks, and finally disappeared under the skin.

In the room opposite Chen Zimeng, the woman in white returned to the window in an instant, this time, her eyes were full of surprise and shock, full of puzzlement.

"Although there is a prohibition, I still clearly sense the breath of the Red Dust Dao, how could it be?

The figure of the woman in white flashed and disappeared from the window, while Chen Zimeng's body was full of breath, and the whole person opened her eyes and looked out of the door.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?"

The voice of the woman in white sounded, and she responded: "I just saw Brother Dao break through and came to congratulate him, there is no malice!"

Chen Zimeng's eyes narrowed slightly, but his body was strangely fading.

"I see!"
