Chapter 233: Spiritual Illusion
What was happening in the outside world, Lin Mo naturally didn't know, the moment the incense furnace was completed, his consciousness was already immersed in the world of divine souls.
As he expected, the moment he touched the body, the poison of that trace of incense instinctively pierced the body, penetrated into the depths of the body, and went straight to the soul. Even the Divine Soul was just its way, and it sensed the Dao Heart hidden in the core of the Divine Soul at a rapid speed, and instantly pounced on it!
As mentioned above, the so-called Dao mind, in its simplified view, is actually a general term for the practitioner's spiritual vision and purpose, one-hit ideology, values, social outlook, and so on, which should be something pure and cannot be commensurate with matter. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Dao heart is just a false finger and should not be stored.
But for practitioners, this is not the case. As the cultivator's cultivation increases, the spiritual realm becomes more and more condensed, and the Dao mind will also become magical, and in the depths of the cultivator's soul, there will be a half-virtual and half-real existence similar to the mapping of the spiritual state, which is the most original idea of the practitioner - well, if you have to give it a name, it is the spiritual origin. The poison of incense is what affects this spiritual origin, and then affects the heart of the Dao.
Therefore, if it is according to the normal situation, the next step should be that the poison of the incense fire goes straight to the spiritual source, and then injects one's own desires into it to achieve the purpose of cholera Dao heart. If you don't handle it carefully, you will be disheartened, or even collapse directly.
But the situation did not develop like this. Seeing that the poison of this trace of incense was about to rush into the spiritual origin, Lin Mo's consciousness moved. The power of the stars that filled the body swelled, and with a light brush in the body like a tide, the poison of the incense that was about to cause chaos was shaken to a standstill, unable to move.
Then Lin Mo's spiritual origin trembled suddenly, turning from a hunter to a hunter, and directly pounced on the poison of the incense!
So the next moment, Lin Mo's consciousness shook. As if dizzy, he suddenly lost his sense of the outside world. And when he came back to his senses, he had already found that he was already unconscious. I came to an inexplicable place.
Not. It is not right to say that it is an inexplicable place, because whether it is the familiar gate, or the stone lions on both sides of the gate, or even the 'Xu Mansion' plaque hanging high on the gate. All cleared incomparably sue sΓΉ he is where it is.
"At the door of Xu Xian's mansion in Suzhou City? How did I get here? Lin Mo blinked. I was stunned at first. Then it dawned on me: "I've been pulled into a spiritual illusion!" β
In fact, if it was a normal development, the situation that Lin Mo encountered should not be like this. The poison of the incense, the trace of desire, should have directly infiltrated its spiritual origin, even if Lin Mo's Dao Heart Seed was extraordinary. This lust can't explode directly, and it should imperceptibly affect him all the time. For example, if it was lust, then when Lin Mo saw Bai Suzhen for the first time, he should not have admired her beauty and lived up to the legend, but directly thought about how to take this beauty for himself! And then even if this thought is suppressed at that time, it should become a subconscious in the days that follow, constantly instigating him! Until he finally couldn't bear to make a big mistake, he couldn't accept his actions, and then his Dao heart collapsed and his cultivation path was cut off!
This is the way the poison of incense erupts!
But now it's different. With the help of the power of the stars, Lin Mo did not wait for the poison of this incense to break out, but instead restrained it first, and then took the initiative to attack and directly devour it and treat it as a spiritual trial!
"And the form of this trial is a spiritual illusion? If I don't break through this spiritual illusion, I will have the same effect as being attacked by the poison of incense? β
Lin Mo thought about it and finally came up with the answer closest to the truth: this spiritual illusion was indeed constructed by his own spiritual power, and the poisonous desire of incense only gave this illusion an introduction and set the direction, and the specific power payment actually came from himself.
Therefore, if you want to achieve the purpose of refining the Dao heart, you must break through it perfectly. Otherwise, whether it is a direct failure to sink into it, or a method that cannot be liberated and can only be extricated by cutting off spiritual power, it is a failure to refine the Dao heart this time. And the price is not only that the desire is rooted in the Dao heart, but also that it will also pay some of the spiritual power used to construct the spiritual illusion.
"There are gains and losses, and it is indeed the truth of heaven and earth." With a sigh of emotion, Lin Mo took a deep breath and shook his spirit: "Then let's break through this illusion directly!" β
With this thought, the illusion in front of him, which was originally solidified like a photograph, trembled lightly and began to operate. But seeing a squeak, the door of Xu's Mansion slowly opened, and a few familiar figures walked out of it, Lin Mo looked at it, but it was Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, Zhang Yutang and Xiaoqing.
"Oh, Zhang Gongzi is really a profound family student, and I am a famous doctor in vain, and I am not as good as you in the way of health preservation, I am really ashamed, ashamed!"
In the praise, Xu Xian came out first, and kept making gestures towards Zhang Yutang beside him, looking full of admiration.
"Not bad. Zhang Gongzi has a pure temperament and is sensible, and he is a well-deserved gentleman. Even I can only say that it is difficult to find in the world! β
This time it was Bai Suzhen who spoke. Standing on the outside of Xu Xian, she also looked like she was throwing herself to the ground, and she was full of praise for Zhang Yutang, who was surrounded in the middle.
Zhang Yutang's expression was calm at this time, and the appearance of the jade tree Lingfeng seemed to be a little more fluttering, and whoever looked at it had to praise Pan An. I saw him smile lightly, salute him, and say to Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen beside him: "The virtuous couple has a good reputation." Such praise is that late life can't afford it. β
"If you can afford it, how can you not afford it!" Xu Xian immediately said: "Oh, Zhang Gongzi, don't be humble, you and I are so close, why bother?" Let's just say it bluntly, if you weren't so extraordinary, how could Xiaoqing be with you and willing to tie the knot with you? β
Xu Xian said, turned his head, and rushed to Xiao Qing, who was very close to Zhang Yutang on the other side, almost snuggling: "Xiaoqing, did you say?" β
Xiaoqing in this illusion raised his head, his cheeks were crimson, his eyebrows were full of spring, and his eyes swept over Zhang Yutang's body like water. He lowered his head slightly shyly and stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled, Zhang Yutang also raised the corners of his mouth, slowly stretched out his hand, and held the soft wattle on his side in his hand.
This scene happened very quickly, and in just two minutes, it was already presented in front of Lin Mo's eyes, which made him stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. He shouted in a lost voice: "Is the poison of this incense related to love?!" β
Although the source of the power of the spiritual illusion is Lin Mo. The builder is also Lin Mo, but the most crucial role is still the introduction to the construction of the illusion: the poison of the incense. It is according to the desire attached to the poison of this trace of incense that the illusion has a direction of development.
I have to go into more detail. Let's take an example: if it is the desire for money. Then in the fantasy world, most of the people in the fantasy world are Lin Mo who made a fortune as a poor mortal. Then he fell into the pursuit of money, and finally like the tragedies that are common in the commercial sea of the earth world, a disaster suddenly came. He lost all his wealth overnight, had nothing, and then led him to a mental breakdown and no reason - this is the standard model of a fantasy experience. And if it really develops like in the example, it is the failure of the task of refining the Dao Heart in the Illusion Realm, not only will he lose some of his spiritual power, but Lin Mo's Dao Heart will also suffer a blow.
But this is just an example, and it should not be taken seriously. If you really want to talk about it, Lin Mo still wants to be in this kind of illusion, because for him, money is really useless. Even if he wanted to indulge in the lust for money, he himself was not very willing.
Don't underestimate this unwillingness, it is this unwillingness that is enough to become a stepping board to break through the illusion!
But Lin Mo didn't expect that the illusion he was in now was actually constructed with 'love' as an introduction!
"I haven't joined in yet, and the illusion hasn't really worked yet, but it's pretty much certain. After all, mortal desires are those kinds, power, money, and feelings, looking at this situation, they have nothing to do with money and power, and only feelings remain. β
Lin Mo looked at the development of Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Zhang Yutang in front of him with a stunned situation, and he only felt that his head was big for a while.
"Well, that's a bit of a problem, even if you're a cultivator, you can't escape the word love. Well, it's better to say that for cultivators, the thing of 'affection' is even more troublesome! β
Practitioners tend to avoid the object of 'affection'. Because compared to earthly desires such as power and money, love is the most difficult to fathom. The love derived from getting along day and night on weekdays, the love derived from the intersection of gods and thoughts thousands of miles away, and even the love generated by not knowing each other but hearing about it from afar...... All in all, if it is not enough, the cultivator may be dragged by the love thread, and then dragged into the love calamity! In fact, there are many gods in the heavenly court who have no choice but to fall from their god position because of a love word, and they can only go to the mortal world to walk through the path of enlightenment again, and then return to the path of cultivation!
Therefore, as long as you are a cultivator, no matter who you are, you will stay away from the word love!
"I just don't know how this illusion will evolve into a love calamity? What should I do? β
While he was thinking about it, Xu Xian, who was standing at the gate, looked up at this side, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Dao Chief!" Michigan! β
Ay? See me? Does that mean let me get involved? Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, he hesitated slightly, and then stepped forward and walked towards them - no matter how the illusion develops, how the poison of the incense will work, his purpose is always clear, if he doesn't join in, how can he break through the illusion and refine the Dao heart?
"Dao Chief, you've finally caught up!"
As soon as Lin Mo walked in front of a few people, before he could speak, Xu Xian said directly: "I thought you had traveled far away and couldn't come back?" β
Bai Suzhen also nodded and said, "Dao Chief, the place you traveled to is really not close. I used my magical powers, but I couldn't find you, so I could only release a messenger by luck. Thankfully, it looks like the messenger has found you. β
Hmm, does that mean you've traveled far away? Then I received a notice from Xu Xian Bai Suzhen and rushed back? Lin Mo speculated on the meaning of the words, and said, "Oh, I have indeed traveled a little far, so I won't say the details." But you, what is the matter of calling me back? β
Xu Xian immediately said: "It's a happy event!" β
Before Lin Mo could ask what the happy event was, he saw Zhang Yutang next to him take the initiative to step forward, and said while bowing his hand like a son, "This is Mr. Lin, right?" Zhang Yutang, a late student, I heard Qing'er talk about you earlier, and it is a blessing to finally see you today. β
Lin Mo wanted to return the salute, but he was stunned by a sentence in his mouth: This title has never been mentioned by anyone other than Bai Suzhen, especially when Xiaoqing is in front of him!
But there are bound to be many surprises, so I heard Zhang Yutang say again: "Mr. Lin, please come, just because of one thing: in the middle of next month, Qing'er and I will be married, I hope you can be a witness!" β
This time Lin Mo was not stunned, his palms trembled, and he turned his head to look at Xiaoqing. But seeing Xiao Qing, who was snuggling beside Zhang Yutang, heard this, not only did not have the slightest intention of refuting, but tilted his head slightly to look at Zhang Yutang, and a deep and happy smile bloomed on his charming face.
At this moment, Lin Mo's breath was stagnant.
He really didn't expect that the setting in this fantasy world would be like this, Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang would reach the point of talking about marriage! And in the middle of next month, we will worship heaven and earth to get married!
At this moment, even though he knew that this was just an illusion, and knew that this Xiaoqing and Zhang Yutang were fake, Lin Mo felt uncomfortable in his heart!
Fortunately, he immediately noticed his abnormality and hurriedly calmed down in his heart.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's just fake. If I were really stimulated by this, I would have fallen under the influence of that trace of desire, and I would never be able to break through this illusion again. Well, you should treat it with a normal heart! β
Thinking like this, Lin Mo smiled and said calmly: "Oh, this is a good thing, congratulations to the two of you!" β
When Zhang Yutang heard this, he smiled even more happily, and Xiaoqing also smiled more and more sweetly.
"Then it's settled." Xu Xian said at that time: "Dao Chief, I will still have you at that time, please come and be the officiant!" β
Bai Suzhen also nodded and said, "Not bad." Dao Chief, the official and I are relatives of Qing'er, and our identity is also a little inappropriate. The conclusion of a marriage is such a major matter that is notarized to heaven and earth, and you still have to ask you to do it. β
Illusions also need to be grounded in reality. According to cultivation, Bai Suzhen's cultivation is the highest, and it seems that she should preside over it, but let's not mention that she is a relative of the woman, it is the identity of this snake demon, which also makes her quite evasive: the marriage witnessed by the demon on behalf of heaven and earth? That's not right! In contrast, Lin Mo was born in the human race and was a righteous path cultivator, so he was naturally the most suitable one to be a witness.
Hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay." (To be continued......)
PS: I temporarily worked an extra shift, and I went home late, so I only had one shift of these 4,000 words. Alas, the full attendance is gone......
