Chapter 105: Dream Soul
Chu Xiqing knew that he had a demon, not that he was confused before, but that he really had a demon, this is the meaning of experience, seeing his usual hidden side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She looked out into the distance, where the waves were rolling and whistling away, just like in her dreams, and she decided not to leave the beach for a while, in order to calm herself. This time she didn't stay in a small hotel, but stayed by a reef by the sea, always looking at the rough or calm sea, the sea is truly magical, with countless treasures, gifts of food and opportunities, but also dangers. Chu Xiqing saw them cheering and cleaning up the sea fish they had hit, and also accompanied the anxious relatives waiting for the people who had not returned to the sea, everything was unknown in the sea, making life here forever ups and downs. She's been here for half a year, and she doesn't know how long she'll have to stay.
She tried her best to put her mentality like ordinary people, instead of immortal cultivators with superb skills, and even slowed down her cultivation progress, because if she didn't correct her mentality, she was afraid that she would go mad, the nights here were always similar but always different, she had heard some immortal cultivators killing people and snatching treasures in the Fog Hidden Sect before, she didn't understand why those people would do that when they knew that doing so would affect their cultivation and produce inner demons, didn't they cultivate their minds before cultivating immortals, and now she knew that greed was the origin of human beings, Even if immortal cultivators can despise the gold and silver that mortals yearn for, there is always something that can capture them, an unearthly treasure and a shortcut to cultivation, it is too easy for them to give up their principles. As long as there is strength and weakness, there is desire, she remembered that Duobao Pavilion told the story that the ancients told her, that the Dryad in the Yuan Infant gave up her hatred, even if she had the ability to trample on the betrayer
Forgave her husband and tolerated against the clamor for revenge, Chu Xiqing saw a way for those who had attained the Dao.
Those who are infants are above most people in strength, but they don't use this ability to do whatever they want, but like ordinary people, they choose ordinary ways to get along, ordinary ways to solve, and strength is their weapon to protect themselves, not a means to wantonly harm others.
Even though Chu Xiqing is very weak now, she also has the power to be above others, and she firmly believes in her choice in Xiao Gu's affairs, and now her mood is much more relaxed. Even if you don't find the person in your dream, you can gain a lot from this mental experience.
For the time being, she plans to stay in the East China Sea to cultivate, although the aura here is thin and pitiful, but she finds that the closer she gets to the sea, the stronger the aura becomes, and she plans to go to the island on the sea after a while.
Because she usually helps out and doesn't charge any pay, the people around her are good to her, and when she knows that she is going to the island, she not only invites someone who knows how to pay attention to her, but also prepares some dried fish for her. Chu Xiqing didn't need to eat, but she still pretended to be an ordinary person, accepted the dried fish, hired a small boat, and prepared to use spiritual power to drive it when the time came.
The color of the sea was blue and black, and she hugged the boat to a place where she couldn't see the way forward, Chu Xiqing found that after entering the sea, her aura barely increased, and she wondered while looking for the direction of the island according to the fisherman's instructions. I heard that there is a nameless island near here, which swims on its own as if it has long legs, but it is cruising around this place all year round, and the vegetation on it is green, and those who have been to the island have also seen gorgeous flowers that are not found on land, exuding a strong fragrance.
Chu Xiqing intuitively felt that this island was not as beautiful as it appeared, I am afraid that it was still a little dangerous, those fragrant flowers might be a beautiful trap, she remembered an anecdote she had read when she was reading jade slips before. In the East China Sea, there is a flower named Dream Soul, which grows on the perennial drifting island, with a beautiful color and pleasant aroma, flowers during the day and poisonous snakes at night, and the reason why it is called Dream Soul is related to a story. Dream Soul was originally a beautiful woman, she was proficient in all kinds of spices, she traveled back and forth between the straits all the year round to do business, with all kinds of spices to sell, she always had spices in her hands that no one else had seen, and no one knew where she got them. Once, she went out to do business again, and in the midst of a rainstorm, she could only hide on a small island, there were dangerous snakes, insects and monsters on the island, and the weak woman could only hide in the cave, because it was raining and she could not even collect firewood to make a fire, even though she was frightened and carefully watched, she was still bitten by a poisonous snake, she wiped the wound with self-defense medicine, but could not remove the toxin, so she mixed the spices she brought with her and the juice of the island plants, and although she suppressed the poison, she became a monster. The reason why the story about the dream soul is circulated is because once the caravan was resting on a floating island in a rainstorm, and the owner's youngest daughter picked a flower, and at night she dreamed that the flower had become a beautiful woman, hoping that the owner's youngest daughter would stay with her, but the younger daughter was unwilling, and the woman became a poisonous snake and threatened her, and the little daughter was so frightened that she cried, and the poisonous snake saw that she was really pitiful and left, and when she woke up and saw that the flowers picked in the morning were gone, she knew that the dream was true and told the caravan to listen.
The caravan went back to the place where the flowers had been picked, but found that it could not be found, so they left the island in doubt.
This story sounds very strange at first glance, it can be said that it combines a lot of elements that arouse people's appetite, beauty, supernatural and legendary, but Chu Xiqing is a person who cultivates immortals, and this story is only regarded as a legend, she still doesn't believe that the toxin of ordinary poisonous snakes can turn people into monsters, if that poisonous snake is so powerful, it can directly kill people, and how good luck can the dream soul get, Chu Xiqing didn't take this story to heart, so when her boat stopped on a small island before the storm, It's also a bit careless.
When this small island was far away, Chu Xiqing knew that it was floating on the sea, and she didn't know if it had anything to do with the island in the Dream Soul story, even if there was no upcoming storm, she planned to go to the island. The area of the island is quite large, before the storm, Chu Xiqing planned to take a good turn, she walked to the center of the island, there is a mountain that is not short, the mountains and rocks are white, the vegetation is very little, the occasional growing trees, because it is winter, are also bare branches, if it is not for the sound of the tide repeatedly, it is estimated that it is very quiet. Chu Xiqing walked very slowly, she felt that there was a rare tranquility here, and there was even a trace of soul wandering out of the world, but she quickly regained her vigilance, because she unexpectedly saw a person, it was a smiling girl, sitting on the big tree in front of her, the tree was not very high, but it was very thick, the girl was sitting on the top of the tree, her skirt was hanging down to cover her feet, holding the trunk of the tree with one hand and placing it in front of her waist with the other, looking at Chu Xiqing who was walking this way, her clothes were snow-white, in sharp contrast to the black trunk.
