Chapter 67: Enlightenment
The sound of the wind blowing through your ears, surrounded by a white world.
From the moment Ning Yu stepped into Baizhang Road, all the surrounding scenes had changed.
Trestles, cliffs, abysses...... Everything was gone, and it was as if I had fallen into an empty white wilderness, empty all around, with no end in sight.
"This ...... What's going on?"
Looking at everything in front of him, Ning Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Earlier, he was still among the surging cliffs, and he only stepped onto the trestle bridge, and the landscape in front of him changed so dramatically in an instant!
While sighing at the power of the ancient Buddhism, he forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart and silently began to grope in this world.
......
"Here we go. ”
Master Jialan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was also a little curious about how far the young man in front of him could go.
This first zhang is a touchstone, and many people cannot move forward even further after taking this first step, and they are all hindered by this moat.
Over the years, the Jialing Temple has also arranged for some apprentices from the sect to come to the trial, but the vast majority of many people died in the first step.
In their view, if they can't take the second step in six hours, it will be in vain to spend another ten years.
And if you want to walk through the entire Baizhang Road, you can't stay more than one tea in the first zhang, otherwise, the hope of success is very slim.
"Huihai, why do you take this boy so seriously?"
Master Garan, who was dressed in a robe, looked puzzled, and also asked the doubts he had been hiding in his heart.
Appreciation is appreciation, but Ning Yu is not a person in Buddhism after all, and what Huihai did is obviously a bit excessive.
A place of trial like the Baizhang Dao is fatal to any cultivator, even if it is only for seven days, its value is immeasurable.
Hui Hai sighed and said, "Actually, it's because of the golden cicada in this temple......"
"Lingbao Golden Cicada?!"
Hearing this, Master Jialan and Elder Fazhen's faces changed slightly, obviously knowing the existence of this sacred object that was enshrined by the Golden Cicada Temple.
"Is it the request of that Lingbao Golden Cicada......?
Elder Fazhen's eyebrows tweaked, a little incredulous.
He still remembered that when he was a novice, he had heard rumors about the golden cicada, and he could imagine how terrifying the age of this spiritual treasure golden cicada was.
"How long has the Lingbao Golden Cicada of your temple lived, how could it have anything to do with this young man?"
"I don't know. ”
Hui Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head, which was also depressed in his heart.
That Lingbao Golden Cicada is an existence that has been enshrined in his temple for an unknown number of years, extremely mysterious, and he also ignores him, but he is very close to Ning Yu, and even did not hesitate to block Luo Kun in order to protect Ning Yu, and finally forced him to come forward.
Even bringing Ning Yu here was also at the request of Jin Cicada, but when he asked the reason, Jin Cicada completely ignored him and fell asleep on his own.
......
In the white wasteland, where no grass grows, a single figure walks alone.
"I've been a hundred feet away, and there's still nothing. ”
Ning Yu subconsciously stopped, understanding that there was no point in continuing, if it was useful to walk like this, he would have already walked a hundred zhang and reached the other side.
The endless wasteland is like a deep pool without a bottom.
Ning Yu knew that he was trapped in it, but he couldn't extricate himself, so he could only watch himself sink deeper and deeper......
If you throw an ordinary person into such an environment, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will go insane and completely collapse.
Ning Yu let out a long sigh, he didn't even know where he was now, let alone how to get out.
"What about Reiki?"
He raised his hand, and with a little exertion, a cyan air mass suddenly burst out of his palm, beating like a flame in the wind.
"It's okay, it still works. This relieved him slightly.
This strange place has changed all the surrounding scenery, and if he deprives his aura and cultivation, then he is really helpless.
"Break it for me!"
The next moment, he let out a loud shout, activated the aura around him, and smashed down with a punch!
Boom!
As if hitting a large piece of incomparably hard black iron, the force from the shock hurt Ning Yu and grinned and regretted it.
On the other hand, the place that was originally smashed by his punch was intact at all, and there was no crack at all.
"That's too hard, isn't it?"
His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but complain.
But after stopping and thinking about it, I quickly figured it out again. This is a ban laid by the great power of Buddhism in the past dynasties, and it would be a joke if he let a stinky boy break it with brute force.
"It's not okay to go to the side, it's not right to drill down, do you want me to go to the sky?"
He muttered a few times, a little depressed.
Now there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.
After losing his direction, Ning Yu only felt a feeling of exhaustion suddenly surging into his heart, making him unable to help but collapse to the ground.
"How far have I gone?"
Holding out his hand towards the pale sky, he muttered to himself alone.
"It's not going to be spinning around, is it......"
In a trance, he suddenly recalled what Master Huihai had said before, and suddenly felt like he had been electrocuted, and the whole person sat up directly.
“...... Brute force alone won't work. ”
Only then did he remember that the Baizhang Dao was a test of the mind, and what he cultivated was all external objects, and he was wrong at the beginning.
Ning Yu recalled his previous foolish actions, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, he began to calm down, and seriously comprehended the dust and sand here.
His attainments in the state of mind made him easily enter the state of unity between heaven and man, and this feeling was as if he had completely sunk to the bottom of the deep sea, completely integrated with this heaven and earth.
However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.
At this moment, a discordant wind sound came again, making Ning Yu feel as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly broke this perfect state.
"Wind?"
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the wind and clouds in the mountain behind the Garing Temple, and the wisp of wind that he heard when he first came here.
He lowered his head and saw the tender green sprouts poking out at some point under his feet, and suddenly had an epiphany.
"I see. ”
He let out a long sigh, marveling at the wonder of the place.
No wonder Master Huihai would say that this is just a hundred-zhang long road, and in his current opinion, it may indeed be the case.
But the difference is that this can be a hundred-zhang long plank road, an endless wasteland, or a bottomless abyss......
He looked at the empty surroundings, exhaled lightly, and then slowly closed his eyes, trying to remember what had happened.
Trestle bridges, mountain cliffs, deep streams...... Everything came to mind one after another.
The breeze in my ears became more and more rapid and surging from the gentle at first, and finally evolved into a fierce and fierce wind raging in the mountains!
At this time, Ning Yu slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him had returned to the past.
The whole person seemed to be out of strength, relieved, and showed an extremely smooth smile.
"It's back. ”
He whispered.
