Chapter 25: What is Cultivation?
In the desert full of yellow sand, a huge ravine with a bottomless depth and a length of thousands of zhang appeared in the center of the desert, as if the entire desert was divided into two pieces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Standing on it and looking down, suddenly a feeling of dizziness came, Lu Fan hurriedly took a few steps back, until now he couldn't believe that the ravine in front of him was caused by this young Taoist priest who was now sitting next to him and meditating, although he had read a lot of Xiuzhen novels before, and after waking up, he also learned that cultivators can use the power of nature to cause great lethality, but these are only written descriptions and imaginations, when he really saw a human like him casually gathered countless thick lightning bolts from the sky, When he forcibly turned into a huge purple sword, the shock in his heart could no longer be described in words, and then the power of the sword actually split the geologically hard Great Gobi into a thousand-foot-long, invisible-deep crack, Lu Fan only felt that he was really about to go crazy.
Many people have dreamed of becoming a superhuman immortal, who can summon lightning and wind at will, but all this is just built on an imaginary world, when you really face all this, there is only awe in your heart, Lu Fan is like this at this time, even if he has a strong ability to bear it in his heart, in the face of the supernatural powers like a natural disaster, some are not the ecstasy of the protagonists in the novel, but a deep fear and panic.
"Are you scared?"
The Taoist closed his eyes and asked lightly.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Fan said in a deep voice; "Afraid, just at that moment, I really thought that the end of the world was coming, it turned out that death is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that you watch the terrible disaster happen in front of you but you are powerless to stop it, you can only stand in despair and wait for death, this taste, whew, I really don't want to experience it again."
"Oh!?"
The Taoist opened his eyes, and there was a slight smile in his starry eyes, and he nodded; "Will be afraid, it means that you know how to be afraid, under the power of nature, if you don't have a heart that knows how to fear, then even if he is strong in Taoism, no matter how high his mana, he will eventually be lost, the cultivator, a lifetime of fighting against the sky, but can borrow part of the power of nature, do not understand fear, reckless, in the end is just under the power of heaven to turn into ashes, no matter how powerful the power is, there is no heart that can control it, and it is just a puppet of power. For the heart of this level of the most important, every year to accept apprentices, the first important inner level, if this level can not pass, even if you have good qualifications, do not want to step into the cultivation of the truth! ā
Lu Fan looked at the Taoist in surprise and asked; "Just a test?"
"So to speak."
"So I passed?"
"Heh, little ghost, I'm not satisfied with your answer, the cultivator fights against the heavens, and the life span of the heavens is used for his own use, which is the way against the sky, how can those who are afraid of the head and tail be able to cultivate the avenue?"
"Aren't you contradicting yourself? I told me earlier to keep a fearful heart, and now I say that cultivation is really the way against the sky, and you must move forward, no matter what you say, you are right! ā
Lu Fan was angry, isn't this a trick, no matter how you answer your feelings, it's wrong.
The Taoist laughed playfully; "You're right, no matter how you answer, the answer I give is different, if you just said that you are not afraid, and hope that I will teach you this kind of heavenly power trick immediately, then I will say that you don't have a heart that knows how to be afraid, and you can't control this powerful power."
"You..."
"What am I? Think I'm playing with you? ā
The Taoist suddenly lowered his face and said coldly; "What do you think the mind is measuring, fear? Arrogant? It's ridiculous, there are tens of thousands of cultivators in the world, there are those who are as timid as rats, there are also those who are arrogant, and there are many powerful people among them, what are you doing? ā
"Mind measurement, heart measurement, is the test of whether your heart is firm, whether you will change your heart because of external factors, the way of cultivating the truth, whether you are good or evil, whether you are cautious or impulsive, a firm and unshakable Dao heart is the real number of whether you can step into this world, idiot, don't you understand, when you have lost the motivation to live in the long years, when you are deep in the darkness and can't extricate yourself, when you gradually become indifferent to everything, ask your heart, ask if it is still as unswerving as when you first entered the cultivation of truth, and has not changed!"
"The world is full of changes, people's hearts are constantly changing, cultivators have a lifespan of several times, but they have to endure the boredom brought by endless years, the helplessness of losing relatives and friends, over time, a heart gradually loses its former persistence, its heart is frozen, or it loses its pursuit of life, or it falls into darkness because of the demons in its heart, or it is indifferent to everything, and when it suddenly wakes up at the end of its life, it recalls the simplicity and persistence when it first entered the cultivation, but it is just a mirror and a water moon, and it is shattered."
The Taoist had a tired look on his face, these words seemed to exhaust all his strength, he looked at Lu Fan, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes:
"Don't let me down, little ghost."
Lu Fan frowned, the words of the Taoist made him feel a lot, maybe he had not experienced the boring life of pure cultivation, but he really experienced the helplessness and sadness of losing his relatives.
Heart? What is my heart holding onto?
"Can you tell me about the catastrophe three hundred years ago?"
Lu Fan suddenly looked at the Taoist priest with shining eyes.
The Taoist was stunned for a moment, then smiled; "Of course, what do you want to know? Although I have not experienced that disaster, I have heard my master tell about it, and I know some secrets. ā
Lu Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked; "Do you know the cause of the disaster?"
"The cause? I think it seems that it was because an underground research organization called 'God' tried to stimulate the ancient bloodline in the human body, but it failed, and a cell body capable of infinitely infecting and dividing appeared, which is the prototype of the first generation of zombies. ā
Lu Fan was a little disappointed, these were the same as what Kailina said, when he was a little absent-minded, the Taoist priest's words made his whole body tremble.
"After the zombie was formed, it swept the world almost within a month, but the governments of the world seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and when I checked this truth, I found out that as early as a few years ago, there was a disagreement between the 'God' organization, some people believed that the research direction was wrong, but the other part thought that there was no mistake, and some people who thought that the mistake had left' God's organization,And with the research materials to join the non-human research centers of various countries,With the support of various countries,They finally created the first batch of genetic warriors soon after the appearance of zombies.,That is, the founders of today's ten ancient families.,But there is a problem here that has not been explained.,Even now it's a mystery.,In the notes of a deceased'God' organization member, it is recorded that there are a total of 100 experimenters in this batch.,But in fact, there are only 99 people on record.,Missing the 001 experimenter... ā
No. 001, No. 001, Lu Fan's mind was blank, he couldn't listen to what the Taoist priest said later, and his memory suddenly returned to that night three hundred years ago.
("Experimenter 001, Name: Lu Fan, Age: 18 years old, Occupation: Senior High School Student, Physical Fitness: Medium, After Testing, the body contains ancient gene bloodline, meets the evolutionary criteria, and now the Human Seed Project is being implemented, and the No. 1 stock solution is injected.) ā
"What...... Ahh
There was a sharp pain in the back of the hand, and the electronic watch somehow gave birth to a thin needle and pierced the back of the hand.
The moment the golden needle pierced the back of his hand, the blood in his whole body began to boil, and his whole body became red and red, like a lobster that had been scalded.
Biting his lip tightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the evil fire in his body rushed straight up, his whole body was hot and painful, but the indifferent and ruthless voice in the computer was still ringing in his ears:
"The blood fit is 99.99%, and the gene recovery begins, 1%, 2%, 3%...... 77%ā¦ā¦āļ¼
It turns out that I am Experimenter 001! Lu Fan's face turned pale.
