From "seeing fire is fire" to "seeing fire is not fire".

With the deepening of the understanding of the mysteries of the basic five elements, in Lu Qiming's consciousness, the red lotus karmic fire gradually ceased to be the form of fire, but a flowing, jumping, and dense rule.

Rules govern all things, and they are embedded in all things. But it's hard to describe what the rules look like.

In the mouths of those who are fortunate enough to see the "rules", the rules are all completely different - some say that the rules are a cluster of mystical and golden trajectories, some say that the rules are a string of mysterious characters, and some people say that the rules are a cloud of colorful mist......

But Lu Qiming unfortunately didn't see those magical looks, what he saw was stones.

Ordinary stones are scattered in the knee-length stream, some are tall and some are short, some are large and some are small. It's really ordinary to the extreme, and even a little gray, so that the praise words prepared by Lu Qiming in advance are completely useless.

Lu Qiming contemplated the rules of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, as if he was standing in this knee-deep stream, bowing his head and counting the stones below, it was much easier than before he comprehended the mysteries of the five elements that he had obtained without hard work.

It's a pity that the position of the "stone" is too low, and even if Lu Qiming tries his best to squat down and tilt his head to look, he still can't see the bottom surface; when he pushes the "stone", the "stone" shows the characteristics of "rules" -- it is not moving at all, and it is extremely stable.

This completely unexpected situation made Lu Qiming laugh and cry. Fortunately, every once in a while, the shadows and the high priest outside would share their visualizations with him, just to make up for what he couldn't see.

But it's too slow.

Countless complicated rules together constitute the whole of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, not that if you understand a part, it will be easier, as long as it is a little worse, there will be no improvement in his situation.

Time seems to freeze, and it seems as if 10,000 years have passed. There is no end in sight to this boundless everything.

Even Lu Qiming himself was curious about why his soul was so tough, but the damage was stacked and accumulated, and there was always a time when it reached its limit.

At some point, he felt a slight chill in his heart, and there was a soft sound like the glass shattering—he saw a point of light float out of his body and fly into the distance.

There was no pain in this process, but Lu Qiming felt a chill rise in his heart. He subconsciously knew that something extremely important was leaving him.

......

Two other people in the chamber.

When Lu Qiming counted the "stones" in the space of consciousness, he didn't know that every time he counted one, the red lotus petals around him would sway and flip, and the tips would face him, fluttering softly in the air.

The High Priest and the Black Shadow looked at each other, a wry smile on their faces, and their hearts were shocked.

The high priest leaned back, his head resting on the ground, and said lazily with his legs crossed, "Don't do it, don't do it." He is so powerful, what else do you want me to do? I said, "Little Lotus, don't be embarrassed for yourself, lie down and rest for a while." ”

No wonder the high priest directly lost the mind to help Lu Qiming to come to his senses, and he was really hit. They were originally prepared to wait for a hundred years, but Lu Qiming was good - it only took three months for the Five Elements Mysteries, and when it was the turn of the more difficult Red Lotus Karma Fire, they directly put on an effortless posture. In contrast, on the contrary, they are proud of their slow speed of enlightenment, crawling like a snail.

The high priest found it very boring. Anyway, he didn't have much interest in the mystery of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and he had already passed the period of desperate cultivation, so he was directly preparing to strike.

The dark shadow stood up.

She wasn't ready to rest. She stretched her white ivory hands out of the wide cuffs, untied the knot on her shawl, and folded it aside.

High Priest Yu Guang caught a glimpse of this scene, and helplessly raised his forehead and said, "Little Lotus, you don't need to drill the horns of the bull like this, right?"

Naturally, the dark shadow ignored him. She kept taking off her tiara, her earrings, the pendant around her neck, the rings and bracelets, and arranging them neatly and in order.

Her long, jet-black hair, which radiated a soft sheen, fell down to her knees. She flicked it casually, and without thinking, continued to take off her coat and fold it again......

Her movements were fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had lost all the foreign objects on her body, only the green silk swayed with the firelight behind her.

Without hesitation, she walked forward until her whole body was completely submerged in the fire lotus. She sat down cross-legged in front of Lu Qiming and continued to close her eyes and comprehend.

The High Priest rolled his eyes silently—he couldn't care about her. But it wasn't the first time he had seen her enlighten in this way. Her body is very special, and while others use their knowledge of the sea and their spiritual power to comprehend, she actually relies mainly on her body to perceive the world.

The high priest knew that she had always been accustomed to fulfilling her wishes, and she had never met a life comparable to her, but this time she was too far behind Lu Qiming in her understanding of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, so she was naturally unwilling. For her, all external objects on her body are a burden that hinders her perception, so whenever she encounters a problem, she will not hesitate to throw them aside.

In fact, she had never understood why she wanted to be dressed, nor why she had to wear it, but the high priest had been persuading her for a long time before she frowned and nodded. There were many other things, and the bitter water was too much to pour, which made the high priest lament every time - he always felt that he was raising a daughter, even though he was only bringing a junior sister, and he could not be disrespectful......

The High Priest shook his head, as if to shake the words out of his mind. He dozed off and asked casually, "I said, Little Lotus, why are the souls that were fished out this time so weird......?

The black shadow said quietly: "He is not a human being. ”

The high priest was stunned for a moment, and burst out laughing: "Yo, the sun is coming out in the west, our little lotus has actually learned to be humorous!" After a pause, he muttered again, "But the more capable he is, the better...... Perhaps, whether it can succeed or not depends on this time. ”

The black shadow opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qiming's face, his expression was unusually complicated, but it was a pity that the high priest was behind her and could not see her abnormality. She said in a soft but resolute voice, "It will definitely work." ”

And the next moment, at the same time that point of light broke away from Lu Qiming's soul, the faces of the black shadow and the high priest changed, and they lost their voices: "It's not good!"

They couldn't see that point of light, but they found that the stability of Lu Qiming's soul had greatly decreased in an instant, and there were clear signs that it was about to collapse!

Once this kind of thing starts, it is like a hole in the river embankment, only getting worse and worse, and there is no way to recover it!

Just as they racked their brains to think of countermeasures, the void suddenly glowed with golden light, pouring straight towards Lu Qiming, silently submerging into his body.

The black shadow murmured incomprehensibly, "Merit?" She could see that this golden light was clearly the power of merit and merit!

But why did the heavens send merit and Lu Qiming? So much merit power...... Did he just inadvertently do something to benefit all beings? How could it be?

Before she could think about it, she suddenly felt an indescribable pain spread throughout her body, directly causing her to lose her ability to think in an instant, and she was stunned for a long time, and finally realized in shock that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was actually hurting her!

She hurriedly retreated, using her cultivation to line it far away, and the pain slowly subsided.

She didn't answer the high priest's question and looked at Lu Qiming with a frown.

What happened in this moment of lightning, I'm afraid only Lu Qiming himself knows.

......

In fact, Lu Qiming himself doesn't know very well. He just instinctively wanted to grasp the point of light, and then his consciousness came here-

What would it be like to be able to look down on the universe from above?

In the endless blue deep sky, the nebulae are connected in vastness, and the brilliant stars gather and scatter in the torrent of time. Every time Lu Qiming looked, he saw the birth of countless legends, countless epic songs, and then all of them were scattered into smoke and dust with history.

All of this together forms a huge white lotus. Although the petals appear pure white, all the colors of the world circulate on them. The three thousand pieces of flowers are arranged in an orderly manner, with an undoubted sense of solemnity.

It is the most beautiful, the most sacred, the greatest being in the world.

No, it is the world.

Lu Qiming looked at this lotus flower and thought so in his heart.

The lotus flower is the whole world, but Lu Qiming didn't think it was so big, at least the two were still equal.

Maybe it's because Lu Qiming is a conscious existence at this moment, and his body can be infinitely magnified. Lu Qiming stood by the lotus flower and watched, looking at the young man curiously like a baby.

Lu Qiming couldn't be sure if all this was a dream, but even if it was, it was very interesting. Therefore, he was not in awe, and only seriously admired this lotus flower that represented the world.

He suddenly noticed that the left and right edges of the lotus flower were blurred, as if the inner part of a whole had split into two halves, slowly separating.

Misplacement?

Lu Qiming smiled inexplicably;

He saw the lotus shadow staggered to the left firm and still, and then he saw the lotus shadow staggered to the right lingering and swaying.

Then, a message appeared directly into his consciousness, and the message was made up entirely of rules. The meaning is simple-

"Swap".

At the same time, the point of light seemed to be bound by an invisible thread, and was pulled away from his palm again, flying towards the still lotus shadow on the left.

A golden brilliance representing supreme merit descended on him. Meritorious deeds are added to the body, and sin is not punished.

Lu Qiming felt inexplicably angry and disdainful.

So he began to run, to the left, to the stars.

At the moment when the point of light merged into the lotus shadow on the left, Lu Qiming felt a little familiar that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and his consciousness easily found the one with red glow among the three thousand petals along the point of light.

Without thinking, he pulled off the petal of the fast flower, and watched the small red threads flutter at the base of the petals like broken lotus roots.

It's about quiet to get used to it, and the lotus shadow on the left doesn't even react when it loses a petal. Lu Qiming thought this scene was a little funny.

As he began to think about the use of this petal, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for an unknown amount of time, and he was hungry and panicked. He hesitated for a moment and shoved it into his mouth.

Unfortunately, he is not an entity at this time. The petals melted into his body, just like the light points before they merged into the lotus shadow, silent, and naturally there was no taste.

He didn't realize that as the petals merged with him, the tiny red threads climbed up his arms and quietly sank into his skin.

Everything in front of me suddenly burst out like a fantasy.

Lu Qiming's consciousness instantly returned to the secret room and returned to his body.

The fire of the red lotus industry is still burning. But this time, in Lu Qiming's eyes, it turned back into fire-

This fire is the kind of fire that can be extinguished in his furnace.

Lu Qiming sighed and said, "Extinguish it." ”

The fire of the red lotus industry is extinguished.

When he opened his eyes, he seemed to see a slender figure of snow-white in a trance, but before he could see clearly, he felt an irresistible sleepiness rushing over him. He was so tired.

He closed his eyes again, silently thinking that this time he could fulfill his previous wish.
