Chapter Twenty-Three: Another Year of Autumn Rain
"I've been practicing for more than a year, and I've gradually been able to explore the leather scrolls. Immediately, a red leather scroll of more than a foot flew out from the top of Mu Ming's head, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a ten-zhang long and wide in the blink of an eye, glowing with a red luster, like a piece of red glow.
More than a year of cultivation is not a short time for Kina.
There is no time for cultivation, but for a child, a day is a long time. A year has passed, and Mu Ming has become more and more delicate, and his little face is not so round, but he is indeed extremely handsome, and his skin is delicate and smooth, so that people can't help but pinch it when they look at it.
In a year's time, Mu Ming also understood that the divine spirit formula is not a magic power nor a martial art, the divine spirit formula expounds the true meaning of all things in the world, and at the same time can be a magic power or a martial art, the magic power is invisible, the martial magic is spiritual, not limited to moves, everything in heaven and earth is tangible and spiritual, a mountain and a stone have life, all things are accessible to each other, and the most primitive things in the world are contained in it, as if a world includes all things in heaven and earth.
The red leather scroll rotated slowly, and a stream of Shenxia flowed out from it like flowing water, which was extremely real, Mu Ming was too thin to grasp a piece of flowing water, and under careful induction, it was really as textured as flowing water, and there was a trace of coolness in the palm of his hand, but with a slight grip, the flowing water turned into light and rain and disappeared into the void, which was extremely strange.
"Come on. With a wave of Kimina's hand, the huge leather scroll quickly turned small, and then said that a red red mang had re-submerged into Kimina's little head.
Then Ki Na closed his eyes and carefully felt the spirit trick in his body, only to see the runes flying in front of him, and small tadpoles swam around Ki Na as if they were spiritual, and from time to time there were tadpoles rushing out of Ki Na's body, this is the scene in Ki Na's mind, not the real body, this person is the "spirit", formed by the essence in the body, between the virtual and the real.
As soon as the living soul enters the ancestral spirit, it can change its own internal potential, absorb the essence of heaven and earth into the body, nourish the flesh and blood in the body, and wait for the original source of the body to open up, and the essence and qi can be transformed into a spirit.
These tadpole runes are constantly changing their bodies, sometimes in the shape of tadpoles, sometimes in the shape of dragons and tigers, sometimes in the mountains and rocks, turning into human forms, turning into lakes and seas, steaming flames, and raining swords and swords.
Everything in heaven and earth has evolved to the fullest by these runes, and Mu Ming was stunned when he saw it, but his big eyes did get brighter and brighter, as if he had entered a magical world, and the path of this world had slowly been found.
Mu Ming Shuangyang opened, the tadpole runes flashed in his eyes, his hands pinched, a curtain of light appeared from behind, the glow flowed, and a small sword slowly condensed, and in a few breaths, the light dissipated and was replaced by hundreds of small swords floating in the air, the sword flashed, extremely sharp. , The sword god buzzed, and seemed to be impatient to fly into the distance.
"Condensation. Kinama whispered. I saw that more than 100 small swords were flying, and finally they were submerged into a golden small sword, and the small sword trembled, but the light on the body did become more and more brilliant, as if it was made of gold. In the end, it turned into a small golden sword, the body of the sword was still the same size, but it was indeed bright throughout, and there were golden veins faintly appearing on its surface.
"Ah Gong said that the avenue is invisible, the avenue is simple, and everything in heaven and earth has a spirit, and sure enough, it is true. Mu Ming looked at the golden sword, his eyes were full of excitement, when he wanted to fight against Ah Gong, he had never been able to condense his magical powers in his hand in a single thought like Ah Gong, and although he had spent a lot of effort at this time, he had made a lot of progress compared to that time, and his understanding of Shentong was becoming more and more thorough.
Mu Ming gently stroked the sword god, and then his mind moved, and the small sword realm turned into a big sword like a trick, but it couldn't be transformed into something else.
"It's a pity, it seems that I haven't studied the runes thoroughly, but I finally understand something. Kina's mood was a little excited as he felt these changes, but he was a little excited when he thought about the runes in his mind.
Then, the big sword turned into a small sword and flew around Mu Na in a circle, and then turned into a golden ray, flew into Mu Na's body and disappeared
Kimura, at this time, a handful of open flames piled up in a huge stone pot, hanging in all corners of Kimura, the flames flickering to illuminate Kimura, black smoke rising, it looks extraordinarily distinct, with the light of snow, making Kimura seem to be a paradise that all living beings in the ice and snow yearn for, with a warm atmosphere.
In fact, there are small animals wandering outside the village from time to time, and occasionally a bold red-feathered rabbit comes to the entrance of the village and then flees quickly, like a fiery red flame sweeping the ground.
Kikina watched all this from a short distance and didn't chase after it.
"Mu Xin would be very happy if she saw the Red Feather Rabbit. With a smile on his lips, Kina stood quietly at the entrance of Kimura and watched me all this.
In the wooden house, Ah Gong slowly opened his long-closed eyes, and his eyes showed peace. Then he disappeared into the house.
"You've all gone back to the village, why haven't you entered the house yet?" Ah Gong was a little guilty, but his tone was gentle.
Mu Ming saw Ah Gong suddenly appear in front of him, but he was slightly stunned, Mu Ming found that Ah Gong was getting younger and younger, and he couldn't see his old appearance at all.
"Grandpa, you seem to be a lot younger. Ki Na was a little puzzled, every time he went back to the village, he would find that Ah Gong was a little older, and he thought it was his own delusion, but this time it was obvious.
"Child, thanks to you, it is only natural that Ah Gong and you heard the sound of Shinto together that time, and it is only natural that your cultivation will improve. Ah Gong happily explained, remembering the scene of that day, Ah Gong was also fascinated.
"Ah Gong, can you still hear that sound when you enter that world?" Mu Ming felt that if Ah Gong could practice with him every day, then the two of them asked together Wouldn't it be nice to cultivate immortality.
"Silly child, everything in the world pays attention to a fateful word, Ah Gong is fortunate enough to hear the Tao once and feel infinitely useful, let it be. Ah Gong was very indifferent, since that day he could no longer enter the world with Ki Ming and asked, at first he was a little regretful but relieved.
"Let's go, let's go into the house as soon as we come back, and I'm not afraid of freezing in the cold." Ah Gong urged.
"Ah Gong" Mu Ming looked at Ah Gong, a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak.
"Well, what's wrong. Ah Gong couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he noticed Mu Ming's strange appearance. But he seemed to think of something, and exhaled slightly.
"Hey, do you want to go out for a walk?" Ah Gong looked a little reluctant, and his heart was a little empty.
"Ah Gong, I want to go beyond the barren mountains to see, I want to become stronger. After seeing that Ah Gong knew his thoughts, Mu Ming also said his own thoughts, and this idea was not a day or two in his heart.
"It's good that you should go out for a walk, Kimura is too small for you to really grow. Ah Gong touched Mu Ming's little head and said.
Kinama is also very reluctant.,But when I think of my parents' traces I don't know where.,There's a faint pain in my heart.,Although Kinama is more than six years old.,But it's very sensible.γ Know what the burden is on your shoulders, even though it is a burden that you have imposed on yourself.
"But I don't want to be with my grandfather, I want to stay with my grandfather all the time. "Mu Ming's heart is a little sour, Mu Ming is really reluctant to give up his grandfather.
"Silly boy, you are going to be a manly person in the future, how can you have so many concerns, others will laugh at you. "Ah Gong is a little funny, a moment ago Mu Ming still looked firm but changed his appearance, but he was also distressed to see Mu Ming like this, Mu Ming is still a child, but he has to bear too much.
Then he took Kina's arms and stepped into the house.
After this day, Mu Ming's practice slowed down a lot, Mu Ming is not busy stepping into the next realm, every day is the evolution of the gods and spirits to temper themselves, now Mu Ming's body is like a piece of divine iron and constantly accept the baptism of the essence of heaven and earth, sunrise and sunset, Mu Ming no longer climbs the top of the mountain to practice, every night on Ah Gong's knees listen to Ah Gong tell stories to sleep, sometimes listen to Ah Gong will be the most mysterious event in this world, maybe the truth may be a legend, but Mu Ming is relish, Ah Gong's voice is like a stroke of genius for Mu Ming to outline a bizarre world, so that Mu Ming indulges in itγ
No matter how long the winter is, there is an end, when the sun appears high in the sky again, the snow on the ground gradually melts and converges into a stream flowing between the mountains and rocks, everything seems to be in an orderly cycle, and nothing has changed for thousands of years.
It seems that a person's growth is engraved with the passage of time, and it is transforming on the face of a teenager overnight.
In the three months after the arrival of spring, Mu Ming continued to practice, and every day he was contemplating the spiritual formula, often immersed himself in the world of tadpole runes, watching those tadpole runes evolve into all things, his mind would merge with those runes, sometimes turn into a big tree, feel the vitality of all things, sometimes turn into flames, release the person's own heat, sometimes turn into flowing water, into the invisible into tangible, sometimes into the sun, shining on the earth, sometimes into the night, obscuring all light.
At this time, Mu Ming and Ah Gong sat cross-legged on a boulder at the head of the inch, and under the same light, Ah Gong's body exuded an invisible power, and the air around him was still, and Ah Gong's body was motionless like a century-old tree.
Ki Na is constantly devouring the essence of the four directions by Ah Gong's side, the essence of heaven and earth is surging, constantly submerging into Ki Ming's body, Mu Ming's body surface is presented one by one whirlpools, like golden flowers blooming, slowly rotating, each rotation drives a strong essence into his body, and Mu Ming's body is like a bottomless pit that continues to attract the surrounding divine energy essence.
Kimina's body bloomed with immeasurable light, and every time he swallowed, the power of heaven and earth was forging Kimina's bones and flesh, compared to a year ago, Kimina's body was more crystal clear, and the blood flow could be faintly seen, and the five internal organs sprayed a thin glow, as if it was made of jade, and the body was like a piece of jade carving. The skin is glowing with golden luster, slowly, the whole body is covered by the golden glow, the whole body is covered by a layer of flames, and the body is constantly spraying wisps of flames, the body of Mu Ming is like a small furnace, but the strange thing is that the surrounding plants and trees are constantly budding, rising leaves, the naked eye can see that the grass and trees are constantly growing, the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, the branches are waving in the wind under the power of heaven and earth, and gradually there are moths, insects and birds stay around the wood name, bathed in the glow, insects and birds call butterflies flying, the branches tremble, the fragrance of flowers is pervasive, the glow is surging, from a distance it looks like a hazy picture scroll blooming in the void, all are colored light, makes people inadvertently think that the hazy figure is the sun between this heaven and earth, a living picture of the spring dawn of all souls.
Ah Gong seemed to feel something, and opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ming.
"It seems that we have touched the edge of the Avatar Realm. Then he continued to meditate.
The heaven and earth around Ah Gong are indeed completely different from the aura of Mu Ming, Ah Gong is like a big tree that has not fallen for thousands of years, and Mu Ming is the nascent sun, constantly spraying its own light towards the earth.
One movement and one stillness, one old and one young. Two extremes, but they attract and merge with each other
Slowly, while Ki Na was still in the woods, a heavy rain fell from the sky, and the smoke and rain blurred the world, and the sound of the rain became louder and louder, and more and more of the rain gathered together, all of which disappeared into the thick leaf layer and flowed to the earth, moistening all things.
The rain kept hitting Kimina's body, and after a while, Kimina's body was covered in smoke and rain, and he couldn't see the human figure.
At this time, countless runes in Kimana's mind were disillusioned, and pieces of runes flew and all turned into golden raindrops that fell from the nine heavens, hitting the ground like golden beads, and gradually condensed into a golden stream flowing around Kimina. Slowly, some of the land that had disappeared into Kimina's mind was submerged, and then a trace of golden mist evaporated from the ground and turned into clouds again, and the clouds gathered more and more, and finally a drop of rain fell.
Kikina watched it all quietly, as if he were the raindrops, then the flowing water, then the mist, and finally the clouds and then the raindrops.
"Clouds and raindrops, streams, fog, clouds, raindrops" Kimana keeps repeating in his mind that the white clouds fall as rain, the raindrops converge into water, the water transpires into air, and the air currents rise into clouds. I always feel that I have grasped something, but I am separated between the virtual and the real through a veil.
"All things in heaven and earth are different, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, gold, gold, wood, water, water, water, fire, and earth. Among them, the main form of water, but the water is invisible, clouds, rain and fog can be used as water, but it is not water, how to get its shape. Kikina spoke alone, and he always felt that he couldn't see through the rain.
"A rain is just that, the rain comes and moistens the earth, the plants and trees grow, the flowers bloom, the flowers bloom and the leaves fall, all become dust, and when the rain moistens the next year, the grass and trees in the dust will grow, and so on. Mu Ming realized that he couldn't catch that aura, so he sighed.
But when Mu Ming finished speaking, he did have a flash of inspiration.
"No, Ah Gong once said, the avenue of heaven and earth, the avenue to the simple, this simple can be all things, mountains and rocks such as the road, thousands of years do not move an inch, can be the way, the grass and trees are thriving can also be the way, the invisible flowing water is the embodiment of the Tao, the way is invisible and the water is invisible, the invisible and tangible are all in a thought, I can also be the Tao, my body is tangible, my mind is invisible. The tangible and intangible rely on each other, intercommunicate and mutually exclusive. β
The more Mu Ming thought about it, the more he felt that it was so, the Tao was formless, and it could not be deduced by common sense, and the Tao was tangible, but it was empty all around.
"I see, it's just that my way and my way are all in my thoughts, I am still me, but not me, they are all changing. Kina's big eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his long eyelashes flickered as his eyes opened and closed.
Feeling something, Mu Ming raised his hand and a rune flickered in his palm, and the golden tadpole-shaped runes condensed in the palm and finally turned into clouds and rolled, and then turned into raindrops and fell in the palm of the hand, and finally turned into mist and condensed into clouds in the palm of the hand, which was extremely wonderful.
"Sure enough, one thought is accessible, all things are known, one thought gives birth to all things, maybe one day, the stars are disillusioned, and the rise and fall of living beings are in my thoughts, so that I can be a god. The more Ki Na thought about it, the more excited he became, and he only felt that a magnificent world appeared when he raised his hand, and his eyes lit up.
"Did you daydream in broad daylight? In the eyes of Ah Gong, it is estimated that it is not clear. Behind Kina, there was the sound of Ah Gong's laughter.
Ki Ming couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this.
"Ah Gong, I'm just thinking about it, don't make fun of me, hehe" Ki Ming hurriedly ran over and pulled Ah Gong's palm.
Ah Gong saw that Mu Ming's whole body was wet, and there were still water droplets on his eyelashes, which was indeed extremely cute, and his heart immediately softened.
"However, Ah Gong believes in you, how far you can go, all disillusionment is in your thoughts. β
"Really? Grandpa, then I'll give you whatever you want. Ki Na was a little excited when he heard this, and he couldn't help but fantasize again.
"Alright, let's go back. It's all ready to go, and you're ready to go next month. With a wave of his hand, Ah Gong steamed the rain off Kinona's body. Mu Ming was envious when he saw Ah Gong's methods, but when he heard the second half of Ah Gong's sentence, his heart sank.
"Are you going to separate?" said Kina, I don't know why. Kimina felt as if something was missing from his heart.
"Silly boy, aren't you coming back?" Seeing this, Ah Gong couldn't know Mu Ming's thoughts.
"I'll definitely come back when I get stronger, Grandpa, Kimura is my root, and I'll definitely come back. β
Ki Na said with a firm face.
"That's fine, even if you are weaker than now, if you miss your grandfather, you will come, you are a good grandson of grandfather. Ah Gong looked at his little grandson and couldn't say what he felt.
"Grandpa, I will miss you. Ki Ming said silently in his heart.
"Go back, the rain is coming. β
"Well, Grandpa, I'll sleep with you tonight. β
"This kid is going to go far away, Ah Gong disagrees. β
"Ah Gong"
"Okay, okay, Grandpa is afraid of you. β
"Hehe, grandpa is the best, I still want to hear your story, hehe. β
"Hey"
