Chapter 45: Memories of Doubts
I controlled the fluctuations in my mind, and suddenly I found a fundamental problem, I memorized what Liu Lang said, and I understood it more or less. However, those mantras and mental methods all explain the principle of casting, and as for how to cast them, I don't understand at all. It's like saying that theoretically everyone should be able to move their ears, but for those who can't, he just can't find that feeling.
As soon as I told Liu Lang about my troubles, Liu Lang laughed at that time, and the smile was very strange. Before I could be alert, he suddenly smiled and waved at me and shouted, "Ground horse, look! “
As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a flower in front of me, and the world was spinning, as if I was fascinated by something. This feeling of dizziness and nausea lasted for a long time, and I had to close my eyes in order not to throw myself up. When I was in school, my teacher did an experiment in which I used to make various colors of light flicker alternately in a fixed passage. People will feel like they are in a roller. In fact, the passage does not move, and the feeling of vertigo is due to the signal transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain, just close the eyes.
Although it was in the depths of my altar at this time, this method still worked. When I closed my eyes, all the sensation of the world spinning was gone, except for the wind whistling in my ears, as if I was in the middle of the sky.
There is no concept of time here, I don't know how long it took, the wind disappeared, and the body felt as if there was sunlight shining on it, and it was warm. When I opened my eyes, the sky was exceptionally blue, as if it was much clearer and higher than the real sky. I was standing on the top of a bare mountain, surrounded by mountains and vegetation. Occasionally, a strange-shaped tree or two towers into the sky, but I've never seen such a tall tree before.
At this time, I would not be surprised if two dinosaurs suddenly ran out of nowhere, because the scenery here is so desolate, and I subconsciously feel that I am the only one under this world, as if I am in an ancient wilderness.
I was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a dragon groan between heaven and earth, and then a dragon really came out, but it was not a dinosaur, it was a silver dragon. The reason why I was sure it was a dragon was because the dragon had only a cockscomb-like bulge in the middle of its head. The dragon sped through mid-air as if it were swimming in water. Look at the body size, there are dozens of feet in length.
I was horrified in my heart, and kept muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me·····" The dragon glanced at me at this time, and then flew towards me with a flick of its tail. We don't have as big eyes as I do, and I can't eat enough if he eats····· However, this beast seemed to have no brains, and a few twists came to my eyes, and opened its big mouth with a disgusting fishy wind like I bit off my head.
I don't know why, in the face of the jagged fangs in Jiaolong's mouth, the first thing I thought of was not horror, but disgusting. At this critical juncture, there was a sudden chirp of "chirp" in the sky, which sounded as pleasant as a fairy sound.
At the same time as this chirp resounded through the heavens and the earth, the anthropomorphic fear appeared in the eyes of the dragon in front of him, and he shook his head and tail to flee. At this moment, there was another "boom" in the sky. The dragon that wanted to flee was as if it had been frozen, and its body kept spasming and trembling, but it could no longer move.
I followed the sound and looked, and saw a beautiful bird flying in the sky. Its size is overwhelming, the head of the chicken, the forehead of the swallow, most of the body is red like fire, but the tips of the wings are dazzling and colorful, and the long tail feathers are long with peacock feathers. The dragon in front of him was like an earthworm compared to this big bird.
After going around the sky, the big bird landed on a towering plane tree in the distance, and leisurely and proudly arranged its feathers with its sharp beak. Only then did he take off again and pounce in the direction of me and Jiaolong. At this time, Jiaolong's eyes were already full of despair, and his body trembled like chaff. The big bird flew overhead to cover the sun, but instead of feeling the darkness of the heavens and the earth, I felt brighter. The red feathers on the big bird's body seemed to have a temperature, and the warmth made me get goosebumps as if I was cold.
The big bird looked at the trembling dragon contemptuously, and opened his mouth casually to suck it. As if a sacrifice, the dragon flew into the mouth of the big bird and was swallowed by the big bird. The big bird didn't breathe in the air, and at that moment it was as if something vital but invisible was missing from the heavens and the earth, and I seemed to be cut off from the whole world under that envelope, as if I no longer existed.
While I was still immersed in that strange feeling, the big bird flew back to the towering sycamore, shook the feathers on its body, and then flew to the sky at the speed of an arrow and disappeared, leaving only a warm ground and a bright sky. Fengqi Wutong, noble and elegant, is indeed worthy of the ancient beasts.
Before I had too much emotion, a voice of vicissitudes suddenly came from my heart, saying that it was vicissitudes but it was by no means old, and I couldn't hear the age of the person who spoke, but there was a feeling of déjà vu: "Do you understand?" “
Understood? What do you understand? I asked, but there was no answer.
Time flies in the silence, the warmth left by the phoenix has not dissipated, and the whole mountain range is full of spring and no winter. Unconsciously, there are dense flowers and trees, and all kinds of rare animals that have never been seen are all over the mountains and forests.
Suddenly, a large fox larger than a lion appeared in the forest, surrounded by snow-white golden light, and the fox walked in my direction. As he walked, he began to stand upright, and slowly the fur on his body began to change, and the facial features on his face gradually manifested into a human form. When he got closer, I was stunned. Although the person in front of him is very young, it is not difficult to distinguish from the facial features, he is actually my master Hu Liuye Hu Qingfeng, whose real name is Hu Tianqing. I just don't know why Master has become so young.
I saw Master walking towards me with a smile on his face, and saw that he had come to my eyes. I instinctively clenched my fists and prepared to salute, but Master's footsteps did not stop, and passed directly through my body. Before I could react, Master's voice came from behind me: "Tianqing has seen seniors!" “
I hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a richly dressed young man appear in front of the master, this person was slender and had extraordinary manners, but his face was dizzy when he looked at the past, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. The reason why I say youth is also my instinctive feeling.
The master was saluting the young man at this time, but the young man hurriedly waved his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Tianqing doesn't need to be polite, you and I belong to the same generation, and your Taoism is not much worse than mine, won't this senior call make people laugh?" “
What else did the master say, but the young man waved his hand at the right time and said, "I understand your intentions, since I promised to teach you the trick of catching dragons, you are optimistic!" “
I finally heard the two words that the young man spoke, and his voice was the same as the one that asked me if I understood. It also felt familiar to me, as if I had heard it for so many years. But I didn't have time to think about it, wasn't the trick he was talking about to capture the dragon just what I was trying to do, so I watched it intently behind my master.
The young man leaned sideways slightly, and then raised his hand seemingly casually and waved, looking at him with his eyes and just waving his hand lightly. But from God's point of view, I felt extremely shocked, because the whole world seemed to change with his swing. I can't figure out exactly what has changed, but I just feel that the atmosphere and some kind of unclear rules have changed.
"Do you understand?" Again, after the words came out of the young man's mouth, he looked in the direction of me and the master. Although the face of the youth is colorful and blurred. But I don't know why, I think he was looking at me, and that sentence was also asked to me. How could he see me?
The master shook his head a little puzzled, then raised his eyebrows and nodded. The young man smiled and did not speak, and after thinking for a while, the master waved his hand in the same posture as the young man. I couldn't help but wave my hands together in the master's posture. At that moment, it seemed to grasp some feeling, but it was almost there. After a wave of the palm, it seemed that there was about to change between heaven and earth, but only the momentum dissipated into nothingness.
The master and I began to wave our palms in unison. Sometimes trying, sometimes pondering. Countless years have passed, and the sky has become dark and bright. The young man didn't seem to feel bored at all, and stood by his side casually.
Finally, a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind. When he raised his hand again, it seemed that some kind of rule had fluctuated, the heavens and the earth stood still for a moment, the butterflies in mid-air stopped in mid-air with their wings flashing, and the leaves swept up by the wind were also frozen. The whole world was silent, as if my master and I had taken time out.
After a long time, the master came back to his senses, hugged his fist respectfully at the young man, and said, "Understood, Tianqing has benefited a lot!" “
The young man smiled and communicated with the master for a long time, but I was still immersed in that wonderful comprehension and couldn't extricate myself, that feeling seemed to be imprinted in my heart, I felt that in this wonderful space, I could perform the dragon capture trick with a casual swing, and I could try all kinds of things. But then I realized that this is not reality after all, and there is no limit to the merits of the Tao. Although I found that feeling, but after I went out, I didn't use the mana of the dragon capture technique at all, unless I used the Dao of the Immortal Family. In that case, the success rate of this move is not impressive, and it depends on the self-deeds of the immortal family who borrowed my power. I'm afraid it has to be at least Liu Lang's level.
After the master chatted with the young man for a long time, the young man suddenly asked seriously, "Do you really regret making this choice?" ”
After being silent for a long time, the master replied solemnly, "I don't regret asking questions!" ”
After the master finished answering the young man's words, he turned around and walked away without looking back, when he was about to disappear at the end of the mountain. A woman suddenly appeared on the horizon, and her face was also as if it was shrouded in mist. But the familiarity and the way she dressed me froze.
She was dressed in red and wore a phoenix crown, as if the whole world could not tolerate her beauty. When the master saw her, he politely clenched his fists and bowed but did not speak. After the woman in red bowed slightly, the master disappeared from the end of sight, and at the same time, the whole picture was shattered like a mirror.
I returned to the Lingtai space again, and Liu Lang also appeared in front of my eyes again. But I still didn't come back to my senses, and what Master asked Liu Lang to show me was his understanding of the dragon capture technique. So what did he see when he saw these pictures? So the dream I've been having about the wedding girl is more than just a dream? What did Master want to tell me by letting me see this? Who is she?
Although I don't know for sure, because I can't understand the picture of the phoenix devouring dragon that appeared before. Obviously, it is said that this exercise comes from the phoenix, but no matter how old the master is, it is impossible to see the phoenix, otherwise he still needs to run around in the red dust? So could it be said that the Phoenix Swallowing Dragon was shown to the master by a young man? Is the appearance of the woman in red something in my memory, or is it something in Master's memory? When I asked him, why did he say that the dream might be the induction of my unjust creditor?
These puzzles were like paste in my mind, and I didn't react until Liu Lang smiled and asked me how I understood. I didn't ask Liu Lang recklessly, since this is what Master asked me to see, I should wait until the time comes to ask Master, it's not a good thing to fake death in the flesh and live and die without yourself after all, so let's go out first.
