Chapter Twenty-Three: Dao Pavilion Enlightenment

Seventeen years later, the main hall of the Cuiyan Sect. Elder Qingzhi, who was discussing important matters with the head of the sect, suddenly changed his face, and he saw that all the spiritual energy points in the air trembled.

She let go of her spiritual sense, and after a while, her face returned to calm, and she turned to look at the head of the house and asked, "Is she entering the Heart Tower again?" ”

The head of the house was slightly stunned for a moment before he reacted and replied, "Yes, I went half a year ago." She estimated that this movement was probably caused by the female disciple named Chishui.

Because this place is the main hall of the sect, it is very far away from the Asking Heart Tower, except for the breakthrough of the monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, there is generally no monk's spiritual sense that can cover here.

She knew that the last time, when the female disciple broke through, she made a lot of movements, alarming the top ten elders, and her performance was extremely outstanding later, and she even shocked the audience in the Four Islands Athletic Competition, and she was also an outstanding disciple in their sect, so she would pay special attention to her.

Elder Qingzhi was silent for a long time until all those points of spiritual power were sucked away. She sighed: "In just over thirty years, she has broken through from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage, can she even cultivate the Five Elements Spirit Root so quickly?" ”

When the head of the house heard this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer, and he was silent.

After another half an hour, Elder Qingzhi said, "After she comes out, arrange for her to go to the Dao Pavilion." ”

The head of the sect shook his body, and looked at Elder Qingzhi with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, and after a long time, he replied, "Yes." ”

At this time, Chi Shui's face was full of joy, she finally broke through to the middle stage of Jindan, nearly forty years of time, and most of her time was spent in cultivation.

But she didn't move, closed her eyes again, and re-entered the cultivation, the top priority was to stabilize her cultivation.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.

Standing at the entrance of a valley, Chi Shui turned to face the senior sister and the third senior sister who sent her, and said with a smile: "You all go back!" I'm going to go in from there. ”

Yuanzi and Bai Lan both looked worried, and finally Yuanzi said: "Otherwise, don't you go in, don't you live well like this?" ”

Bai Lan also nodded approvingly.

Chishui smiled silently. She knew that the senior sister and the third senior sister were all worried about her, but this Dao Pavilion, she would definitely go in and break in.

Dao Pavilion entered the valley behind her. Don't think about it, there is no flood beast in it, there is only a ladder to heaven, and that pavilion is just a small pavilion that takes the ladder to go up and stands on the edge of the cliff.

Five days ago, as soon as she walked out of the Inquiry Tower, her two senior sisters were congratulating her, when she saw that the head of the sect had sent someone to inform her that she would enter the Dao Pavilion in the near future, saying that it was the arrangement of the elders.

Chi Shui hadn't heard of the Dao Pavilion, so she didn't react, but her two senior sisters both had a big change in their faces, and when they heard that it was the elder's arrangement, they were silent again.

When Chishui waited for the messengers to leave, he asked them. Fang knows that this pavilion is not something that ordinary people can enter. I heard that nine out of ten people went crazy!

In the past 1,000 years, the number of people who have entered this pavilion is only eight, and none of the eight people have been able to come out again. The last person to enter was a hundred years ago, and Chishui had not yet entered the sect at that time, so he didn't know.

Of course, this pavilion is not something that can be entered if you want to, and you must have the consent of the Great Elder.

In fact, according to his heart, Chishui didn't want to enter this Dao Pavilion at all, but this was the arrangement of the Great Elder, and if he didn't enter, it would be equivalent to expelling from the sect.

She has a good reputation in the sect, and before she could react, this matter spread all over the sect. If she doesn't enter, not only will she be ridiculed by the disciples of the whole sect, but the most important thing is that she will also enter the secret realm of inheritance and complete the task arranged by the black-clothed senior.

And at this moment, Yuan Ye came to sneer at him, and Chi Shui was angry. That Dao Pavilion, she really has to break through.

Didn't someone come out well? Although the few people who came out did not have any great success later. But didn't he save his life?

Although she didn't know that the Great Elder was the wrong tendon and came to find her, but the matter had come to this point, only the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would flood the earth.

In this case, Chi Shui didn't like the senior sister and the third senior sister to send her in, it was like sending her to the guillotine, so she insisted that the two of them go back first.

Yuanzi and Bai Lan couldn't resist her, so they had no choice but to leave first.

Chi Shui watched their backs disappear completely, before turning around and walking towards the valley.

Because this place is inaccessible, overgrown with weeds and dead leaves, Chishui carefully avoided a few depressions, came to the legendary ladder of Babel, handed the identity jade plate to a Jindan monk in the window next to the ladder, and let her keep looking.

Since she was arranged, the sect must have informed the ladder keeper.

After a while, the monk handed her back the jade plaque with a look of pity in his eyes. She was here, but she had seen two extremely excellent disciples enter, and when they came out, they were both crazy, and they were picked up by the elders, and after that, no news came.

Chi Shui ignored her expression, put away the jade plate of his body, and then stood at the position of the ladder to the sky.

I saw that from the soles of her feet, the aura condensed into a cloud of white flowers, about two or three feet in diameter. Hold her up and slowly send her up. Chi Shui finally understood a little, why this is called the ladder to heaven, from her position, looking down, even the valley has become extremely small, and the main building complex of the Cuiyan Sect is gradually unable to see clearly, and there is really a feeling that it wants to lead to the sky.

Chi Shui looked around, because of the magic circle, she could see the outside from her position, but she couldn't see it from the outside.

It stands to reason that the peak on which this pavilion is located is the highest peak on Cuiyan Island, but Chishui has never been seen in the sect, and here, it is blocked by clouds and mist all year round, and the true face cannot be seen.

She is not a person who likes to talk a lot, and she usually doesn't hear anyone talk about it, so she doesn't know the existence of this pavilion.

Chishui was thinking about it, but the white clouds stopped, Chishui turned around, and saw the so-called Dao Pavilion, close in front of him, very simple wooden buildings, the eaves are slightly warped, and the graceful arc replaces the rigid and straight vertical ridge, standing quietly on the edge of the cliff, giving people a feeling of lightness and wanting to fly.

In front of her, two wooden doors, about a foot high, closed softly, and when the Red Sailor touched the wooden door, the two wooden doors opened automatically, revealing the empty hall inside.

Chishui took a deep breath and stepped into it, to this place. You can only advance, not retreat.

In fact, whether it was the task of the black-clothed senior, Yuan Ye's provocation and ridicule, or the contempt of the people in the sect, it was not the main reason why she decided to come to this pavilion.

Although she is not an adventurous person, she will not back down easily when it comes to things. Moreover, after listening to some news from the Dao Pavilion, she was even more interested in this Dao Pavilion.

She thought that the predecessors of the Cuiyan Sect had a useful place to establish this pavilion, and the elders arranged for them to enter here were all relatively outstanding and outstanding disciples in the sect at that time, although she could not ask the elders face-to-face why she was arranged, but this kind of opportunity was not something that ordinary disciples could get.

Chi Shui paused for a few breaths and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary, except for an upward staircase directly opposite her, and there were no furnishings in the entire hall.

She hesitated for a moment before moving forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Chi Shui came to the center of the hall, looked around, her eyes flickered, and suddenly, the entire hall quickly expanded outward, the whole pavilion became huge, and her vision became broader.

It's as if she is standing between this heaven and earth.

Chishui knew that the main drama was coming.

She sat down on the spot, crossed her knees, closed her eyes, and let go of her senses, and saw around her, one by one, golden characters burst out of the ground and rushed towards her.

Before she could see what those characters meant, she saw that one of the characters that came to her first collided with her and disappeared, and at the same time, in her sea of consciousness, a voice suddenly appeared, the sound was ringing, like a deafening bell, like a cliff mountain, like a rough ......sea, a wave* hit Chishui's soul, incomparably majestic, "What is the Tao?" Every word seemed to be a weight of 10,000 catties, weighing her out of breath.

Chishui's body was tense, his face was like gold paper, and he only felt that he was a flat boat in the surging waves, the waves were uncertain, and if he didn't do much, he would capsize, and he would never ......turn over, and she took a quick breath before she reacted, what is the Tao? Road? It's just the road under your feet.

But this is not a previous life, this is a world with gods, and the so-called three thousand avenues are set by God. The Tao is the law of this world, hidden in the changes of all things in the world, and only by seeing through and discovering the laws in it can it be called enlightenment. It is rumored that a person who cultivates the truth can become an immortal if he realizes the way of heaven.

She was about to answer, when she suddenly felt that a little bit of golden powder in her dantian was flying towards her five dan-shaped objects, and her five dan-shaped objects seemed to be very excited, and as soon as they moved, they greeted her.

I saw the golden powder gradually disappear into her five Dan-like objects. Chishui didn't have time to think about it at all, so he was shocked back to his senses by the voice, "The Tao rushes and uses it, it has not been profitable for a long time, and the abyss is like the sect of all things." Frustrate its sharpness, solve its disputes, and its light, with its dust, like or exist. ”

In Chishui's mind, along with the voice, it automatically translated, Dao, empty and formless, but its power is endless, profound and profound, like the ancestor of all things. Give up the sharpness of self-righteousness, get rid of the confusion of all things, and identify with your dust in the light of your life, and you will be able to see his existence in the darkness.

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”

Before the creation of heaven and earth, there was a mixed being. O silence, O emptiness! Be independent and never change. Run all over the world and never get tired. It can be called the mother of all things in heaven and earth. I didn't know his name, so I wrote "Dao" and reluctantly named him "Da". Big, it will fly infinitely, fly away and go far, and return to the farthest. Therefore the Tao is great, the heavens are great, the earth is great, and the people are great. There are four large ones in the universe, and man is one of them. But man will make the earth his testimony, and the heaven his testimony, and the heaven his own testimony, and the word himself.

Chi Shui began to react a little, this Dao Pavilion, is it the ancestors of the Cuiyan Sect who forcibly instilled some theories that they thought were correct into the disciples who entered this Dao Pavilion?

While listening to the explanation in the sea of consciousness, she was distracted and noticed that there were more and more golden characters around her, rushing towards her position, and as her sea of consciousness absorbed, a little bit of golden powder entered her five Dan-like objects.

As the voice became faster and faster, Chishui's sea of consciousness was already counting her thoughts, and in the end, everything seemed to become nothing, only that voice kept transmitting those theories to her sea of consciousness.

She could still be distracted at first, but later, I don't know if the voice noticed her inattention, but four or five voices sounded at the same time, transmitting endlessly into her sea of consciousness.

Some of her five Dan-shaped objects, after those golden powders entered, were identified with by her, and gradually merged into her Dan-shaped objects. Others, at odds with her own philosophy, could not merge with her Dan-like objects no matter what, and her five Dan-shaped objects began to become unstable.

Chishui felt a familiar pain hit him, damn it! She had slashed the primordial spirit before, and she knew that this was a sign that her soul was about to collapse.

Doesn't that mean it's just crazy at best? How did it get so serious to her?

She finally knew why the other disciples who came in were crazy, how could they not be crazy if they imposed ideas that did not belong to them, if they accepted these ideas, even if they did not go crazy, I am afraid that they would not be themselves.

Thinking of this, she was afraid for a while, regardless of the sharp cracking pain, she held on to her mind, although she let those golden characters rush into her body, but it was strictly screened, and only those who approved it could be fused with her own Dan-like object.

She knew she had to do it, but it was very difficult to put it into practice.

Not to mention the pain that was getting worse and worse, just the few voices in the sea of consciousness made her dare not be distracted at all, it was like a huge war.

The other party is so powerful that there is no escaping a point, and he wants to use these so-called truths to forcibly replace the ideas in her head, how can she allow it?

Regardless of whether the other party is right or not, if she doesn't approve of it, she can't.

"If you are not virtuous, you will not fight the people. Inexpensive and rare goods, so that the people will not be robbed. If you don't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be disturbed. ”

Only by not advocating the virtuous can the world stop fighting. If you don't value the treasures, you will keep the world from stealing. Only by not inducing evil feelings and desires can the world be peaceful and stable.

When this article appeared in Chishui's mind, he couldn't care about the pain, and couldn't help laughing, it was a state of course, people have seven emotions and six desires, they want to eat and dress, how can there be no fighting, the whole society wants to progress, how can there be less fighting, as for the back, Chishui sneered.

She figured it out, if she accepted everything, wouldn't every disciple who came out of here be the same? Can she still be her?

Thinking of this, her mind is even stronger, and she respects other people's theories, but she wants to assimilate her by this means, but there is no way.

At this time, in her lower dantian, the golden powder that she did not agree with was floating, like a golden floating cloud, and her five dantou objects were hidden in it, as if they had lost their way.

On the top of Chishui's head, there is a small "Dao" character that begins to condense, only the size of a copper coin, and it gradually condenses and takes shape as time passes.

Chi Shui didn't know, as if between heaven and earth, she was alone, she was standing at the intersection of thousands of roads, countless roads were open to her, but she was confused, not knowing which one to take.

It seemed that every road beckoned to her, and it was as if she had returned to her previous life, entering a department store, and every salesperson was selling her what she had in her hand in the hope that she would be able to buy it.

The more she hesitated, the more the salesmen pulled her, countless hands grabbed different parts of her body, tearing hard, countless mouths, and all kinds of different sounds came into her ears at the same time, making her ears buzz.

In her heart, she began to be angry, and an invisible anger dispersed, these people, no one wanted to force her, what she needed, she would choose herself.

With her will, she saw that the salesmen were gradually forced away by the anger, and they moved farther and farther away, until in the end, they all disappeared.

Chishui's heart was slightly loosened, and he began to pick up the same.

And as she moved, the glyph of the word "Dao" on the top of her head became larger and larger, and it seemed that all the things that Chi Shui had selected had turned into energy and filled into the word "Dao", and the word Dao began to become more specific and clearer.

Time is like water, five years later, Chi Shui finally selected all those things, and saw the scene in front of her, like a mirror, instantly shattered into countless pieces, sprinkled all over the ground, and then, the golden light blocked by the mirror instantly shone on her body.

The golden light was so warm that it enveloped her, protected her, and nourished her, and she seemed to have returned to her mother's body, and couldn't help but close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

If she is awake, she will know that the golden light, which is the golden word "Dao" around her, emits the extremely golden light, which is shining on her body and being absorbed by her body little by little.

In the blink of an eye, it was another five years, Chi Shui, who was sitting quietly in the Dao Pavilion, his eyelids moved slightly, and after trembling a few times, Fang opened his eyes, and at this time, everything in the Dao Pavilion had returned to calm, and the pavilion had also returned to its original size.

In her lower dantian, five dan-shaped objects are waiting quietly, and what is different from the past is that there are more golden spots of light on the five dan-shaped objects, dotted with stars, shining with golden light.

Her face was indifferent, and she recalled her previous experience, the so-called Tao was just to insist on her own beliefs.
