I haven't seen it for a long time, and the patriarch's meditation room is still so quiet. In the shade of the pines and cypresses at the end of the mountain road, the meditation room stood quietly, making Lin Mo unexpectedly think of the many pure lotus platforms under the seat of the Innocent Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"The patriarch is waiting for you inside." Ling Leizi stopped, said a short sentence, and then kept silent.

Lin Mo nodded, his heart tensed, and stepped forward and knocked on the covered wooden door.

"Patriarch, disciple Lin Mo asks to see!"

The wooden door creaked open, and Lin Mo pursed his lips and stepped in. As far as the eye can see, it is still an empty quiet room, except for a stone bed, which is the patriarch Su Bodhi sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

Lin Mo took two steps forward, came to the stone bed, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Disciple Lin Mo, knock on the ancestor." ”

Patriarch Su Bodhi waved his hand to make Lin Mo get up, and then lowered his head slightly, looking at Lin Mo quietly.

Lin Mo suddenly stiffened and became nervous.

In fact, Patriarch Subodhi can be regarded as an approachable supernatural person. Not to mention anything else, just preaching to the disciples every day is something that few others do: who has ever seen the power of the Four Emperors show their faces every day? Not to mention that sometimes, this powerhouse, who is likely to be at the same level as the Four Imperial Emperors of Heavenly Court, will suddenly appear on the cloud platform to solve the doubts of the disciples in cultivation!

But helplessly, even if he saw him once or twice a day, Lin Mo always had a great sense of tension and awe for Patriarch Subodhi. The reasons for this are more complicated, one is that the inevitable feeling of the weak for the strong is inevitable, and the other is due to his own special circumstances.

Lin Mo already had a conjecture, the power of the four royal levels. It's likely that you will have a little sense of his origin. For example, the Crape Myrtle Emperor gave away a Crape Myrtle Rune. And Manjushri and the nine-tailed fox who dedicated themselves to heaven and earth also made similar moves.

So didn't Patriarch Subodhi notice it?

Every time he thought of this question, Lin Mo felt nervous. In fact, the day after he returned to Fangcun Mountain, he once again stood at the end of his disciples and listened to Patriarch Su Bodhi sit on the Yaotai to preach, and he trembled as if he were walking on thin ice.

But fortunately, Patriarch Subodhi didn't mention anything that day, and he didn't even look at it. made Lin Mo breathe a long sigh of relief. And the rest of the month. There was no abnormal situation, which made Lin Mo's heart relax.

Until today, until now, Ling Leizi suddenly led him to the ancestral meditation room. Face the Patriarch Subodhi.

'What could it be?' The patriarch called me over. What could it be? ’

He thought uneasily.

But didn't wait for him to come up with results. Patriarch Subodhi was the first to speak.

"Looks like you've been through a lot." The patriarch's gaze swept Lin Mo up and down, and said, "It's quite rare for cultivation to also enter the realm like this. ”

Lin Mo immediately said: "By chance. I'm still far from Goku. ”

These days, he thinks about cultivation every day, and he is full of catching up with Sun Wukong. As soon as the patriarch asked, Lin Mo, who was nervous, answered casually.

When Patriarch Su Bodhi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't compare yourself with that monkey." That monkey was born and raised, and it is really extraordinary, even if you search the world exhaustively, you may not be able to find a few comparable ones. You still have to grasp your own path of cultivation. ”

Lin Mo bowed his head and said, "Disciple remember. ”

Strange to say, whether it is those senior brothers or Qinglingzi, they have said this to him in the past few days, but it has no effect, Lin Mo only feels that they don't understand the situation, and they don't have a backache when they stand and talk. But now as soon as Patriarch Subodhi said it, Lin Mo felt that it was very correct, and he was indeed a little impatient in the past few days...... It's weird.

Lin Mo was wondering in his heart, but he heard Patriarch Su Bodhi say: "What's more, with your current cultivation method, it is impossible to enter the realm. ”

It's that sentence again! Lin Mo was shocked in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else, so he bent down directly and said, "Ask the ancestor for guidance." ”

The patriarch didn't say much, he first spoke and said, "How do you think the realm of refining gods should be cultivated?" How do you break through to the gods? ”

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and while thinking to himself how the patriarch could ask such a basic thing, he replied: "Accumulate mana, conceive divine thoughts, strengthen the divine soul, and wait until the strength of the three souls and seven spirits is enough to support the soul leaving the body, that is, you will enter the realm of transforming gods." ”

When Patriarch Subodhi heard this, he first nodded, and then shook his head: "What you said is right. But a crucial step is missing. ”

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Please ask the ancestor to solve your doubts." ”

"You're only looking for strength, but you're not thinking about quality!" Patriarch Su Bodhi said directly: "Although the soul is separated from the body, the strength is sufficient first, but the quality is the key. Otherwise, even if the mana of a hundred years of penance is smashed down, and the three souls and seven spirits are all full of power, the soul itself is not transparent, like sewage mixed with sediment, how can it be separated from the body and travel the world? ”

When Lin Mo heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, he immersed himself in penance to absorb spiritual power and accumulate mana, but he was just blindly doing hard work, and his efforts were out, but no matter how much hard work he did, if he didn't purify his soul, he would just use unilateral force, which not only consumed a lot of money, but also had no effect. It's like pulling a sticker down on the wall, no matter how much force you increase, it will be difficult to pull it off, so it is better to take action on the sticker first and purify it so that it becomes a clean and non-sticky film. In this way, not to mention dragging, but with a gentle blow, it can easily break away from the wall.

"Then how do I purify my soul?" Lin Mo, who understood this, continued to ask for advice.

The patriarch smiled, his blazing gaze condensed, as if the sky was looking down, and he could see a qiē very transparently.

"So ask yourself." He didn't answer Lin Mo's question directly, and even asked rhetorically: "You have enough experience during this time, can't you still answer the original question?" ”

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, first startled by Patriarch Subodhi's eyes and words full of understanding, and then attracted by his question: "You said the original question? Ah, is that the one? ”

The last time I came to see Patriarch Subodhi alone, it was also in the Patriarch's meditation room, and the patriarch once asked a question: Do you want to embark on the path of cultivation? Why do you want to embark on the path of cultivation? He thought hard for a long time, and could only make a very reluctant answer: I want to practice, but as for why, I can't tell why, I want to find it while practicing. It was because of this answer that Patriarch Su Bodhi gave Lin Mo the method of "Tongming Ascending to the Sky Jade Record".

"That's it." Patriarch Subodhi nodded and said, "It's time to answer again!" ”

Lin Mo was silent for a moment.

Are you going to embark on the path of spiritual practice? Why did you embark on the path of cultivation?

Just like last time, there was silence in the patriarch's meditation room. Whether it was the patriarch or Lin Mo, they all closed their eyes and became silent.

After a moment, Lin Mo opened his eyes, his gaze blazing.

"I want to practice."

"As for why, you don't need why, just practice! Because that's what I think! ”

"I have seen people and demons who marry each other regardless of racial differences, relying only on their own thoughts and wills; I have also seen Buddhist monks who would rather bear their own responsibility for the stability of the world and send their souls to the underworld where they don't know the situation; I have also seen Bodhisattvas who want to leave a glimmer of life for future generations even if they die, and even the demon fox who has been hiding for decades but sacrifices himself to the sky in the end. Until the end, there are mortals who spend most of their lives seeking the thought of enlightenment! ”

"They behave differently and have a variety of goals. But no matter what, they made the choice of their own volition, and they never regretted it! ”

"I'm going to do the same!"

"I want to be a practitioner of the righteous path, so I act according to the norm of the righteous path. I wanted to make the flawed stories better, so I joined in. I want to help my friend, so I'm going to prepare for him when the time comes! ”

"Because it's my will. I must carry out the will to the end, to the end! ”

Although these words were long, Lin Mo spoke faster and faster, and the more he spoke, the smoother he became, and even later, it seemed that it was not him who was talking, but his own body and soul pushing him, squeezing him to constantly confide out his words and announce his heart.

When the last word was spoken, the thrust reached its peak and exploded in the body. At this moment, Lin Mo only felt that his soul was shaken, as if he had been vigorously cleansed, and in an instant, it changed from dirty to clear and translucent, and it was extremely refreshing.

Lin Mo suddenly had a kind of realization: as long as there was another suitable time, he would be able to completely separate the divine soul from the physical body and break through to the realm of transforming into a god! (To be continued......)

PS: Ps: This chapter wasn't originally planned to be written like this, but it's not the right way to write it.

Recently, I have encountered some unpleasant things at work, not big things, and I have a little conflict with my family, and it is not a big thing, but these little things add up, but they are more tangled, and I always feel very depressed and have a lot of feelings. This is what I think about the most, is it so difficult to insist on and implement my own will and ideas?

Alas, I hope that in the future, I can successfully act according to my own will, just like the characters I wrote.
