Chapter 129: The Heart Enters the Nine Heavens, and the Body Is Like Dust (Part II)
This is a big snake with a thick goose egg, and a pitch-black flesh crown on its head, which has not completely escaped from the body of the sand wolf, it is already more than a meter long! This snake is actually hidden in the stomach of the sand wolf, and at first glance it is a highly poisonous species, and it is so cunning that it actually took advantage of the moment when Yu Qingcheng killed the sand wolf, and suddenly attacked, almost making her die without a place to die. Yu Chengcheng was really scared into a cold sweat this time.
Practicing in the desert, apart from the climate, this killer-like animal is the most terrifying existence.
Fortunately, Yu Chengcheng is strong in martial arts, and with just one slap of his hand, he grabbed the seven inches of this snake, and then pinched it to death.
But the next moment, a scene that she will never forget appeared: after seeing the sand dunes, there was a sound again, and then a dark and dull phantom appeared one after another, one by one, so that Yu Tingcheng couldn't help but take a few breaths of cool air! Snakes, all of them were snakes, and there were hundreds of them, Yu Tingcheng felt that her breathing was about to stop, because when she was about to walk out of the desert, she actually accidentally broke into a snake cave.
In the face of such a flood beast, Yu Qingcheng already had a premonition that he might not be able to escape. Although her feet were fast, it was impossible for her to exit from such a snake formation unharmedly.
"Could it be that I'm just going to die like this? After years of practice, I ...... wasted in one fell swoop" Such a scene, even Yu Qingcheng sensed a kind of despair.
In an instant, this group of snakes was getting closer and closer to Yu Allure, and they were only more than ten meters away. Yu Qingcheng knew that as long as they got closer, they might rush up like bullets, and no matter how high his martial arts skills were at that time, he would not be able to escape death. But after years of practice, Yu Qingcheng was unwilling to be wasted like this, and for a while, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, as if a person who was about to die had replayed the experience of a lifetime in an instant.
In the end, Yu Chengcheng's thinking was fixed on the edge of a small mountain village, under the blue sky, green grass, and mountain springs.
It was a surviving sage of the Republic of China era, who was able to merge himself into the heavens and the earth and nature, and let the birds build a nest on his head.
"Blend in with nature, blend in with nature! If I can become a part of nature like that senior, the snakes will not hurt me. Look around, there are rocks and sand dunes, but they can't attract the attention of the snakes! Now, I can only fight to the death to see if I can appreciate the realm of that senior saint......" At this moment, with a flick of his fingers, in an instant, Yu Qingcheng seemed to have experienced a lifetime of thinking.
In the end, she did not choose to run away aimlessly, but sat down cross-legged gently, calmly, and even indifferently, and gently folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen.
And at this time, the snakes had already surrounded Yu Tingcheng, and had even wrapped around her and climbed onto her! Yu Tingcheng felt that the powerful snake body was like a rope one by one, binding itself, and some even got into her clothes, making the horror in her heart almost indescribable, "If I fail, I will die a miserable death! It is better to kill these snakes on my body and run away as soon as possible......
For a while, Yu Chengcheng's thoughts came and went.
But during this period of practice, the practice of really trekking through the desert finally gave her firmness and sanity the last upper hand.
"I can't mess up because I'm in a desperate situation, so that I will expose my breath and let these cold-blooded animals discover my existence! What I want to do now is to calm down and turn myself into rocks and sand grains! I want to completely eliminate my breath and truly integrate into nature......" Yu Qingcheng slowly closed his eyes, and finally calmed down to a meditative posture, slowly slowing down his will.
"Calm your mind...... Heart...... Calm down......"
……
Just after Yu Qingcheng gradually calmed down, within a few breaths, most of the sand snakes were completely coiled around her whole body, shuttling and wriggling, hideous and abnormal, looking so terrifying.
But at this time, Yu Qingcheng had completely begun to let go of her mind, as if she had been in the last nine days, and her body finally truly fell silent with the departure of her mind, not only slowing down her heartbeat, blood flow, and pulse, but even her mind began to empty up, and she began not to think, not to think, not to be afraid, not to be surprised, not to be aware. Gradually, gradually...... Yu Qingcheng couldn't even see, hear, smell, or taste at first, and his body began to feel the coming of the sand snake.
Eventually, she lost her mind, so much so that she began to forget her existence.
Because after the heart flew to the extreme, the breath on the body was almost completely eliminated, converging to the center of the human body, three inches below the lower abdomen, and faintly, as if the vitality was gradually beginning to fade.
Three inches below the lower abdomen is the lifeline of the human body. The intercourse of men and women, and the congestion of the lower position, is to stimulate this sensitive point. This part is the dantian, and it is also a magical acupuncture point for human beings to reproduce and extend life from generation to generation.
The human body is nature, and it is a magical little world.
And the gate of life, which exists between this small world, has been the door of death and the door of life since ancient times.
Therefore, Yu Chengcheng's meditation actually completely emptied his mind to the heavens, the earth and the universe, and his body became a little grit and dust that was almost there and nothing.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was an hour, maybe it was a few days, and the sand snake coiled around Yu Qingcheng gradually left, as if it had never arrived.
Then, the red sun rose again in the east, and Yu Chengcheng gradually woke up, she felt that her soul was like a flying dragon flying into the sea beyond the nine heavens, and like a bird flying in the clouds returning to its nest; Because Yu Qingcheng herself couldn't believe that after she fell silent, she really escaped a catastrophe.
Yu Qingcheng let out a long sigh of relief, glanced at the corpse of the sand wolf not far away, but had no intention of picking it up immediately.
"I succeeded, I really did! It's so dangerous, I didn't expect to break into the snake cave this time...... Next time there are wild beasts, it's better not to provoke them, many things in nature are not really understood by humans. ”
If you don't experience it firsthand, who would believe that a lone wolf actually hides a sand snake in its belly and drives it out to hunt?
Even Yu Qingcheng herself couldn't imagine that between life and death, she actually occasionally touched the edge of the path of sincerity, eliminated her breath, and escaped a mortal catastrophe. These phenomena have completely detached themselves from the theory of materialism, they can be encountered or sought, they can be touched but not pondered, even if Yu Qingcheng is allowed to experience it again now, the feeling of being quiet in a daze, it may not be easy for her to do it again.
"The autumn wind has not moved the cicadas, and they secretly send impermanence to death...... Confucianism emphasizes Jindan, Taoism emphasizes Yuanjue, and Buddhism emphasizes Muni, in fact, the real meaning is nothing more than seeking sincerity and having insight into the sense of good and evil. It's a pity that I just came into contact with a little sincerity by chance and escaped the catastrophe. But this is only second-class sincerity, not real sincerity. What is the true way of sincerity?......"
Yu Qingcheng was not complacent because he had escaped a catastrophe, but fell into deep contemplation.
If she could have predicted the bad luck, she would not have chosen to take this path and avoided falling into a situation where she would have died. This time she was able to avoid evil, so what about next time, what about next time? Playing with fire again and again, she will one day set herself on fire.
Although Yu Qingcheng did not slack off after his kung fu was transformed, he became more self-cultivated and crossed the Taklamakan Desert on foot, which lasted for half a year. Moreover, the hardships of self-cultivation and the difficulty of cultivating the mind in the past six months are almost equivalent to ten years of tempering, and finally reached the insight into the body, the body and mind are transparent, and the strength is almost overwhelming. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been able to eliminate her breath and reach the point of meditation.
But even so, Yu Tingcheng still hasn't found the direction he should go in pursuit of sincerity.
This is not like practicing martial arts, where there is a goal to work towards, but a realm between heaven and earth that exists and does not exist.
Yu Tingcheng found that his boxing skills had really reached a bottleneck, just like a kind of life and death threshold described in the novel. If you break through, you will be transcendent, and if you can't break through, this life will end here. And sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, even if you step into the strength, with the aging of age in the future, it will slowly fade and die like Sha Lao, Chen Guangguang, and the older generation of grandmasters I have seen.
Alas, in modern society, it is also a burden to cling too much to these ideals. Now that I have the opportunity to touch the edge of sincerity, I see a glimmer of hope in the sinking, and I should not be too pessimistic. ”
Fortunately, Yu Qingcheng inherited her mother's will, she has a big personality, and she simply doesn't want to think about things she can't figure out. After returning to his senses, Yu Tingcheng was glad that he was able to come into contact with and experience such an experience, which is undoubtedly a huge wealth given by heaven and earth to cultivators, and in Yu Tingcheng's limited life, he was able to truly touch the bottleneck of sincerity and open a window.
Because if you can catch something that has a flash of inspiration, it may become your own chance. Yu Qingcheng is even more sure that although his martial arts are successful, there are still too many things to learn, even if he is poor for a lifetime, I am afraid that there is no end.
"In any case, this catastrophe is also my blessing. Seeing that I am not far from getting out of the desert, I will work harder and strive to complete my cultivation as soon as possible. Yu Qingcheng stabilized his mood, stepped forward and dragged the lone wolf's body, and after slashing it with a military thorn, he found that there was nothing unusual, so he swallowed blood at its throat to replenish his physical strength. Later, she cut off the sand wolf's stomach pouch and stored the rest of the blood.
Then, Yu Qingcheng lit a fire, cut off the wolf meat and skewered it on the military thorn for barbecue, and at the same time opened his backpack, took out a piece of cake, and ate it in a big gulp. With this unlucky sand wolf as a supplement, Yu Chengcheng ate a full meal, and then recovered his spirits. After a short rest, she opened the compass and looked at it, and after finding the right direction, she set out on her journey again. With the experience of the rest of his life after this catastrophe, Yu Chengcheng's journey after that did not cause danger again.
