When she woke up like this, Qiuqiu looked at the top of the stone cave in front of her, and didn't remember where she was for a while.

Oh yes, she's in retreat.

I actually fell asleep while soaking in the water.

Qiuqiu got up from the water and flicked her sleeves. The crystal droplets fell back to the water, and the clothes dried out in an instant.

There are many benefits of cultivating the truth.

Qiuqiu took out the comb with emotion, combed her hair, and tied it up again.

Seems like you had a dream just now?

But she didn't remember much of what it was like in her dream.

Qiuqiu's hand paused.

She vaguely felt that the dream just now seemed to be very important and should not be forgotten.

But I really can't remember it at all.

Forget it, if you can't remember, you don't want to, just let it be.

When the retreat was settled, it was difficult to perceive the passage of time, so Qiuqiu put a star disk around him to count the hours. The first time I was officially settled, it took seven days. The second time was much longer, thirty-one days.

In the interval between the two settlements, Qiuqiu drank some water, took a few pills, and flipped through the books, and it was probably only a day's time.

But when the third time I started to settle down, Qiuqiu always had a ...... Weird feeling.

I don't know what's going on, but it's not the same as the first two times.

Qiuqiu opened her eyes and looked at her hands.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Could it be that she is desperate to succeed?

Obviously not.

But why did she feel something ...... when she wanted to start exercising Something close to yourself.

It's like someone who gently scratches her palm with a dog's tail grass, gently, itchyly.

Of course, this feeling is just an analogy.

Qiuqiu stood up.

There is only herself in this cave, and this autumn and autumn can be determined.

Shi'er sent her in, and then closed the stone door.

Qiuqiu activated the protective formation from the inside, and Shi'er must have also placed a ban outside.

Not to mention people, even a fly and an ant can't get in.

But Qiuqiu always had a feeling...... It felt like she was more than her alone.

It's an unscientific feeling.

It's not haunted.

No one has ever seen a god, or a ghost.

As for the mountain spirits, tree monsters, fox demons, these. There are in the world.

But whether it is human or non-human, between life and death, there is nothing to be done.

Life and death, this is beyond anyone's control.

A person cannot choose his birth, when, where, who his biological parents are, and what his qualifications are.

And die...... It doesn't matter if it's the end of life. Or died unexpectedly. Whether it's prepared. Or did it happen suddenly...... Death is never resistible. There is no escape.

And what cultivators are looking forward to when they practice hard is nothing more than trying to understand the mystery of these two words.

Who can transcend life and death?

Qiuqiu felt that there must be something here.

But what is it?

Where?

Can you see it? Can you touch it?

She didn't feel danger or unease.

The unknown is always unsettling. But Qiuqiu didn't feel this way at all.

Just now, when something touched her senses, she felt it in that moment...... It's goodwill.

Gentle, cordial and completely non-threatening.

It's a gut feeling.

Qiuqiu stretched out her hand and groped in the air blankly.

Her palms spread out and closed.

But she touched nothing, and she held nothing.

It's weird.

Qiuqiu flipped through the books in her bag, and most of the books she had stuffed in were related to her retreat. Of course, there are also one or two miscellaneous gossip pastimes.

Qiuqiu pulled out a book about the state of mind during retreat.

During the retreat, people experience all sorts of things, some people have strange feelings, some people see visions, and some people have auditory hallucinations. It's more.

Did she also have an uneasy feeling? Always feel like she's not the only one here?

Could this feeling be a hallucination caused by mood instability?

Maybe.

After all, there's really no way there's a second creature here.

Qiuqiu took a deep breath.

The book says that when this kind of feeling occurs, we must stick to our original heart and not be confused by external feelings.

Further down, there are one, two, or three more to choose from.

She read out softly: "You can take the Qingxi Pill to block the five senses......"

Qiuqiu thought about it, she didn't smell any strange smell, she didn't hear any strange sounds, and of course, she didn't see any illusions, this choice shouldn't be suitable for her.

Look at the second one.

"You can practice according to the following mantra to calm the restlessness of spiritual power......

Qiuqiu thinks about it, her spiritual power is not restless.

It does not appear that article 2 applies to her case either.

Article 3.

Hey, the third line of thought is really a different way.

The third article says that strange sensations do not appear for no reason, there must be a reason. For example, the visions that someone once saw were those of someone they had killed by mistake. Auditory hallucinations that someone hears are the goal that I most desire to achieve. There are also people who have a strange feeling, because they have suffered an old injury, although the injury has healed, but the long process of recuperation has left him with a kind of fear, and he always feels that the injury has a strange feeling.

Seriously, Qiuqiu thinks the third statement makes a lot of sense.

She also felt that strange feelings would not appear for no reason, and there must be a reason.

If you want to figure it out, you need to feel it again.

Qiuqiu sat down again and closed her eyes.

The eyes were gone, and there was silence all around.

The other senses became sharper.

Just now, she started pranayama as before.

I didn't feel anything strange at first.

The spiritual power flowed slowly in the meridians, warm and soft, like a stream of water. No, it's softer than the current.

Like a diffuse fog.

It is the light mist rising in the morning in the lush mountains and forests. Light, ethereal, with the fragrance of wood. The fog fades away after the sun rises and returns to the forest.

Just when the spiritual power has been circulating in the body for a week, it is about to be returned to the dantian.

Qiuqiu's eyelashes moved slightly.

That feeling came again.

Just like before, it's light and unstable.

It's like the poplar flowers and willows flying in spring, which are incredibly soft, and you can't catch them if you grasp them suddenly.

This kind of abundant vitality is definitely not her illusion.

There is a spiritual, affectionate companion who is in the same space as her.

Who's this?

Qiuqiu's perception extends forward. gently and gently tolerated this uninvited guest, for fear that he would be scared away if the movement was too loud.

Could it be the natural creatures of the mountains?

Is it a spirit bird? What kind of creature is it? Could it even be a plant, a flower?

Although Qiuqiu's movements were very light, the little creature that suddenly appeared retracted as if frightened.

Its trajectory ......

Qiuqiu was stunned.

After a long while, the feeling stopped appearing, and Qiuqiu opened her eyes.

Her hand pressed lightly on her lower abdomen.

How could it be in her body?

This is...... What's going on?

Qiuqiu's expression was dazed.

She had a vague guess.

But...... It's too whimsical to be impossible.

But how can this situation be explained now?

Her palms are folded, palms gently covering her lower abdomen.

Actually, it's not that difficult to be sure.

But she hesitated.

Probably not......

Probably not.

She's always been in a relationship, and it's unlikely that she's going to be in a situation......

Qiuqiu has always denied her possible conjectures. But I hold a thousand points. No. It's a one-in-10,000 hope.

What if it's true?

It's easy to prove.

But she was too scared to go any further.

She's scared......

Disappointed.

She's afraid not.

Is she really going crazy?

It was very clear from the codex just now that the strange feeling that occurs in the process of entering the meditation is a sign of going mad most of the time.

Abnormal sensations are likely to be psychological.

Is it because she wants it too much...... Too eager. That's why you have such a hallucination?

If it's really an illusion......

Qiuqiu just thought about it, and felt that his chest was cold, empty, and unusually uncomfortable.

Most of it is a hallucination.

But her hand against her lower abdomen was reluctant to let go.

Even if it's an illusion, it's an illusion of happiness.

Although she embarked on the road of cultivation, she was essentially the mentality of an ordinary person like in her previous life.

Agreeing with your sweetheart, of course, I expect a result.

There is a testimony, and there is a continuation.

Every life has an instinct for continuity. Trees to grow. Flowering, fruiting. People want to find a partner, they want to have children, they want to pass on their blood and family name.

But she lost that ability.

This made her feel a huge shortcoming.

Qiuqiu's heart was in turmoil.

Is it because of the hallucinations caused by shortcomings and desires?

Maybe, a 1 in 10,000 chance. Will it come true?

Her hand pressed lightly there, cautiously, as if she was afraid that the movement would be too loud and scare someone.

How she wished it was true.

But she couldn't be sure.

If it is really an illusion, and the illusion is so real that she will use various methods to persuade and deceive herself to believe it.

The way now is to find someone else to determine it for her.

Qiuqiu raised her head.

If you want to find someone else, you have to ......

It's the end of the retreat.

To end the retreat for such a thing......

As long as she gets out of the customs, Shi'er will definitely sense it immediately and come immediately.

How can I tell him why I ended the retreat?

No, can't say.

If not, Shi'er will be disappointed, right?

Even if he doesn't say it, he will definitely be disappointed in his heart.

How can you lie to him about things that you are not sure about?

It's not like if you don't go out......

Qiuqiu was in a dilemma, thinking before and after.

Or do you want to continue the retreat as originally planned?

As for this anomaly, let's ignore it for now.

Anyway, she didn't plan to spend 10 or 8 years on retreat, and it would probably end in a few months, or a year.

If not, there will be nothing to be gained at that time.

If yes......

Alas, this is too unlikely.

Qiuqiu made up her mind and took a deep breath.

Well, it's such a happy decision.

Qiuqiu stood up and stretched.

Take another pill?

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was immediately pushed out by another thought.

It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous...... If you can take less medicine, take less.

She never admits that she is there to take care of ...... Belly.

There's nothing to take care of at all, and I'm not going to take pills for an uncertain guess.

Of course, she doesn't admit that when she meditated cross-kneeled again, her movements became more careful and cautious than before.

ps：

I saw a book friend leave a message saying that the elephants are called beasts. This,It's a coincidence.,When this article was first written, the star drama hadn't come out yet.
