Chapter 160: Consciousness and Form
Dao Sheng felt that the Tao Te Ching was not entirely suitable for the mundane, it was a spiritual ya, like many of the Buddha's ideas.
The mundane needs to be true, there is rice is rice, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. No money is no money, is it possible to become rich at the same time and space? It's just a self-comfort like Ah Q.
Monks are different, monks don't need to eat, even if they don't have spiritual energy spirit stones, they can't starve to death for a while. They stand above and beyond the mundane, seeking the way and asking the Buddha.
There is no shortage of people seeking the Tao and asking the Buddha, but these people are never short of food and clothing. If they eat the last meal but not the next, they are hungry and cold, and the most they can do is to find rice and ask for clothes. In order not to be starved to death, frozen to death, and tired to death, where is there still leisure to think about what is higher than rice?
Dao Sheng is down-to-earth and stands on the road of heaven.
To be enlightened is to be enlightened, and to be unenlightened is to be a lifetime. Now that Dao Sheng confirmed and confirmed that the Heavenly Road was a former sect trial path, he let go of his worries about the two ladies. Although the trial is integrated with the natural forces of the realm, from the perspective of the process of realizing one's true one, the human factor is too heavy. The misty Feifei's comprehension is not inferior to that of the peerless genius, and with the company of Nine Mysteries, Feiyun, Miao, Ranmi, and Fluttershy, it will not be too difficult for them to clear the level.
Dao Sheng looked around, and there was no scenery in his field of vision except for the road that stretched forward. There was nothing behind him, and Dao Sheng retreated and entered nothingness again.
There is a road under your feet, but the road ahead becomes confused. He tries to perceive or enlighten, and there is nothing, and he becomes 'nothing' again. He had no choice but to follow the path in his sight: if he met a monk who had arranged the path of trial, Dao Sheng probably estimated that he would not have a chance to escape for his life. The former owner of this half-wasted magic weapon is probably the same level of life as the master of the Divine Desolate Sword.
Dao Sheng walked forward slowly, unhurriedly. He already felt like he was standing on a treadmill. There is a road in sight, there is a road under your feet, as long as you are walking, you can never finish.
Dao Sheng stopped to observe and perceive, the road was still a road, and there was 'nothing' on both sides, and when he stepped into 'nothing', he returned to the starting point of the road.
He simply relaxed, not hurrying, just take a walk. Daosheng walked at a constant pace, like a pendulum, emptying himself. There is no end to the road, so I will come to the end of the endless end, in a word: 'consumption'.
The sound of Daosheng's footsteps changed from 'click' to 'click' to 'knock'. He really doesn't know how long he has walked, if there is a desolation of the earth, he may have come to the desolation of the old age.
Suddenly, one day, as the footsteps stepped down, there was no 'dongdong' sound like a giant beast walking, and one of Daosheng's feet did not reach his thigh, but fortunately he was physically strong now, otherwise the other leg would definitely be broken. Dao Sheng pulled out his leg that was deep in the boulder, it turned out that he had been standing still, and finally stepped through the boulder, and he walked out of the way.
Dao Sheng was curious about a boulder under his feet: "What kind of treasure is this?" After careful study, it was found that it was nothing more than a hard piece of ore, carved into the circle. Dao Sheng was preparing to copy the formation inside the boulder. The boulder reverts to its original shape, pushing him off the boulder. Dao Sheng originally wanted to violently rob the boulder, worried that it would affect the entire Heavenly Road, and the two ladies were still inside. Besides, if you can't do it yourself, you will be pecked blind by catching geese, which is not cost-effective.
Dao Sheng stands on the boundless, undisturbed seaside. He didn't move, he was thinking: There is no shortage of intelligent cultivators in the Middle Realm, and this path doesn't seem to be very difficult, why are they afraid of it like a snake and scorpion? Is it because of their own low realm? The Middle Realm monks who can enter the Heavenly Path even have a life in the Xuan Soul Realm, which is much lower than his realm.
Daosheng didn't believe they were dumber than himself. It was impossible for the spirit of the Middle Realm to interfere with the Heavenly Path, what was the reason? Dao Sheng was a little confused. "Maybe it's because, in the Dao Holy Realm, we are too strong. Daosheng secretly praised themselves.
The sea in front of him, he is not worried, he and Xu Feifei are flying in a drop of water, and they have stayed for dozens or hundreds of years, even if this is the real sea, it will not be difficult for him. Dao Sheng did not hesitate, and walked straight forward, entering the sea water. As long as there is a physical object, Dao Sheng has two skills, Daohua and Dao Enlightenment, and he doesn't believe that he can't crack it.
To Daosheng's surprise, the sea water is not like water, he tasted it, it was neither salty nor light. After enlightenment, he did not perceive any abnormality: it was water. He had seen the ichor before, and there were several large vats in the particle space. Could it be that this water was once a spiritual liquid? The Middle Realm has gone through endless years and evolved into a complete realm, and it must be supported by spiritual energy. If the predecessor of the Middle Realm is a magic weapon, it also needs a source of spiritual energy. He estimated that this sea used to be the power source for testing the Heavenly Road.
Dao Sheng quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and found that there was a formation engraved on the seabed, because it was too old and had lost its aura, the magic circle on the seabed only occasionally had a few lines, and there was no value for reference research.
There are many, many white bones on the bottom of the sea, why are they here? There is no threat to the monks here, how can they die? Dao Sheng carefully examined the white bones, and there were no injuries. "It's weird. Daosheng bubbling.
The absence of life in the sea basically confirms Daosheng's idea. Rise to the surface and tread water. After about a month, Dao Sheng finally saw Kishiji, but instead of going ashore, he unfolded his body and walked in the other direction at full speed. Two months later, Dowson returned to shore, and it was a large lake, or it would not be an exaggeration to call it the sea.
"How long does it take to accumulate so much spiritual fluid? Out of the instinct of scientific research workers, although this water is bland and tasteless and cannot make tea, Daosheng still has a lot of it, and maybe it will be used for research in the future.
This sea area, in the direction he is now, can continue to move forward, the left and right are also 'nothing', and if you step into it, you will return to the sea.
Dao Sheng survived the catastrophe of life and death, he didn't know. Only the endless white bones at the bottom of the sea know how desperate they once were!
On the way forward, when Dao Sheng stepped down, he would splash dust and mist, and occasionally he could see one or two incomplete bones. The Dao life time is about half a year, and the road is much cleaner, and there are no white ashes and white bones on the road. For the sake of convenience, the three of Daosheng were in a nine-mystery unit, and according to the time flow rate in the middle realm, there was no time unit, which was referred to as Daosheng time.
Another half a year passed, and a fog pine appeared at the end of the road, hazy. The space around the fog pine is also thick and foggy, and the rolling fog is darker than the fog pine. Dao Sheng used Dao Enlightenment and Divine Sense to sense respectively, and found that the fog pine was a tree hall. The hall of trees was still a rolling fog, and there were traces of magic circles in the thick fog. The dense fog does not contain spiritual energy, there is no other energy in it, only the dense fog itself is energy.
"What do you mean? Is this for the monks to rest?" whatever it was, it blocked the way, and the Dao Sheng had to go. He walked straight to the Fog Pine.
Dao Sheng's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he was dumbfounded! He stood in the empty hall, a beautiful female monk in the hall, carrying a wine jar and drinking, there was a hanging green on the jade table in front of him, and the elf next to him was blushing, holding a hand that gnawed off the small half-hanging green, hanging in the air.
"Dead ghosts?" the elf cried out in surprise.
Dao Sheng realized at the fastest speed in history, and after a while, his divine sense checked, and "bang" knocked the other party with a violent shudder. Dao Sheng retreated to the same place, waiting for another "bang".
"The old lady doesn't want to give you back, dead ghost, drink a jar!"
"The old lady has experienced an extraordinary experience, and has become so calm!" Dao Sheng was in high spirits.
"Dead, all dead, dead and dead!"
"The dead are dead, that's the past, not the present! Hehe, hanging green without fragrant wine has no rhyme, you go, don't bother me!"
"You touched my bottom line, no matter how magical you are, either cripple you or take you in. You wait!" Dao Sheng searched the hall inch by inch, but found nothing abnormal. He thought of the fog pine he saw outside, first transmitted the sound with his divine sense, and then his heart was shaken. "Come out, come out. A moment of darkness appeared in the apron.
"Have you ever seen the monk you just transformed?"
"Just left. "Consciousness came out of the fog.
"Where's this?" The Tao is born into a misty form.
"Just left. ”
"Why did you turn into her?"
"You have her in your heart. ”
"How do you know?"
"You've drunk the sucking liquid. ”
"What is a sucking liquid?"
"You've drunk the sucking liquid. ”
Dao Sheng tasted a mouthful of seawater when he entered the Heavenly Road, and that thing was a spiritual sucking liquid? He carefully examined it, and there was nothing strange in the water.
"What is a sucking liquid?"
"Suck the spirit. ”
"How do I suck souls?"
"Suck the spirit. ”
Dao Sheng is helpless, although Wusong has a spirit, but his spiritual intelligence is too low. I don't know if it was a spirit that existed before the Middle Realm was abolished, or a spirit that was born after it was abolished? It is likely that it is a spirit that was fused with the formation after it was half abolished. He grabbed the fog and intercepted fragments of memories about them into particle space.
"I wanted to abolish you, but it was difficult for you to transform into a spirit, since you can feel the spiritual liquid, I will give you some, and I don't owe each other. Dao Sheng took out a few large spoonfuls of seawater mist, and the dense mist churned a few times and disappeared without a trace. At the same time as the dense fog dissipated, countless portals appeared in the main hall, and there were several portals, but the main hall kept rotating, and the portals were changing positions at any time, and they became countless portals. After the Dao was enlightened, there were still countless portals in the divine consciousness, and inside the portals was 'nothing'. Now that Feifei and Miao have entered the portal, it means that the two of them don't have much pressure. Dao Sheng searched for a sense to enter one of the portals.
Outside the gate is an endless mountain landscape.
Dao Sheng had the experience of a small pagoda and knew that these mountains were not phantom arrays, but powerful monks who detained the real realm, supplemented by formations, and integrated into the magic weapon for the disciples to try. There may be surprises among the mountains, but for the three of them, those so-called surprises are probably lollipops that amuse children. No matter how rich the owner of the magic weapon is, how can he put a really good baby on the way to trial.
There are no plants and no life in the mountains. But Dao Sheng inexplicably felt that the mountains had souls, and the souls were howling. He stands on the highest peak of the mountain, and then transforms himself into the mountain. The mountain is like a dying twisted bug, it has emotions: it trembles, it trembles, it is frightened, it begs, it screams...... The Dao Sheng exited the state of Taoism. He knew that he was not qualified to be angry at the moment, but he still felt angry, just like the feeling of meeting the master and servant of the little servant in Yuanli City in the previous Youjia Realm.
"Alas!" sighed!
The history of this mountain cannot be verified, and it no longer matters who is right and who is wrong. Only the last life and last emotions on this mountain are left.
Yes, everything you have ever been has become the past, history, and time. No matter what you have experienced, it has passed after all! It has passed after all!' Nan Wu Amitabha Night Dota Gatta Night Dodi Night Ta Ami Du Bhabi Ami Do Xi Tan Po Vi Ami Do Vi Ga Mi ...... "Dao Sheng folded his hands, sat cross-legged on the highest peak of the mountain, like a little monk, and recited the mantra of the rest of the moon with the power of the soul. "Whether the mantra is useful or not, can you really be reborn? There is no pure land in the world of life, if one day I have the ability, I will try my best to be fair, just, and do my best to respect life! May you ...... Alas!...... Sure enough, I don't want to!" Dao Sheng muttered, got up, and didn't care about the trembling, fear, begging, and wailing behind him...... "I don't have the ability, I don't know the past, I'm not an immortal, I'm not a god, I'm just a small life trying to find the source of life!"
