Chapter 35: The Art of Mental Illusion

Murong Jiu was not lightly drunk, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day, and his consciousness was still a little hazy after waking up, and he slowed down for a while before he found that he was sleeping in Lu Qing's hut.

At first, she was a little flustered, but soon calmed down and began to take a closer look at the small room.

Although this side courtyard is also Murong Villa, it was almost abandoned before Lu Qing moved in, and Murong Jiu didn't come to it much.

Although she often came over after Lu Qing moved in, she never entered this bedroom.

Although this room is not big and there are not many things, the layout is very rhythmic, as if it is in harmony with the qi of heaven and earth.

Moreover, Lu Qing has lived here for more than two years, leaving a faint fragrance in the house, and Murong Jiu only feels refreshed when he stays here.

Murong Jiu waited for a long time and didn't see Lu Qing, so he got up and cautiously walked out of the house, wanting to see what Lu Qing was doing at the moment.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Lu Qing sitting under the peach blossom tree.

Lu Qing closed his eyes and sat motionless under the tree, as if he was asleep, but it could be seen from the mysterious qi flowing around him that he was not asleep but awake.

Murong Jiu suddenly remembered the story that Lu Qing had told her about the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

Although she is not proficient in the principles of Buddhism, she also knows that the opportunity for enlightenment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she subconsciously held her breath and concentrated, for fear of disturbing Lu Qing.

It was Lu Qing who was enlightened, but it was Murong Jiu who was nervous.

She didn't know what Lu Qing had learned, but she couldn't help but be nervous for him in her heart, for fear that he would make a mistake if he was not careful.

Murong Jiu looked at Lu Qing under the peach blossom tree intently, although she couldn't say the subtlety, but from Lu Qing's calm expression, she could also see that his state of mind at the moment should be fine.

Enlightenment is the first state of mind, and a chaotic state of mind is a catastrophe.

This is the so-called one-thought demon.

Suddenly, Lu Qingzhou's qi stagnated, as if he had encountered some obstacles, and his complexion gradually became solemn.

Murong Jiu's heart tightened when he saw this, afraid that something would happen to him.

But it was useless for her to be in a hurry, because she couldn't help at all.

Murong Jiu, who was anxious, suddenly found that the peach tree behind Lu Qing had gradually begun to wither, the originally pink peach blossoms had gradually turned yellow, falling like fallen leaves, and the plump branches had gradually become shriveled and thin, as if their vitality had been sucked away.

Not only is the vitality of the peach trees losing their vitality, but the plants and trees around Lu Qing are gradually withering, and some have even begun to turn black and rot.

The original scene of red flowers and green leaves and vitality suddenly lost its color, as if someone had poured ink on this heaven and earth.

Although Murong Jiu didn't know what had happened to Lu Qing, the dilapidated scene in front of him was obviously not a good sign.

Did you really run into a demon?

Murong Jiu couldn't help but think worriedly.

Fortunately, her worries did not come true, and the scene of the ruins of heaven and earth did not last long, and the decaying plants, withered peach trees, and falling peach blossoms gradually returned to their former vitality as if time had gone back in time.

The originally barren courtyard once again showed its vitality.

Just after everything in the courtyard returned to its original state, Lu Qing under the peach blossom tree gradually opened his eyes, he looked at Murong Jiu opposite, and smiled slightly.

This laugh, the grass and trees rejoiced, the peach blossoms danced for it, and the heavens and the earth saw the sun for it.

Although Murong Jiu didn't know what Lu Qing had learned, he could feel that he was different from before.

Although Lu Qing seemed mysterious before, he always had a feeling of incompatibility with heaven and earth, and you could see his extraordinaryness at a glance.

It's like a little danqing in an ink painting, which is unique but a little abrupt and incongruous.

But now he seems to be integrated into the world, one with all things in heaven and earth, and although he is standing there, it is easy to ignore it if you don't look closely, and it is easy to forget it if you don't think about it after looking at it.

Murong Jiu's feeling is not wrong, this is the principle that Lu Qing realized, and it is also the "Xuantong" that the Taoist sage Lao Tzu said.

and its light, with its dust, is said to be the same.

The same but the mysterious, the same but the different.

There is a description of Yangziju in "Zhuangzi, Miscellaneous Essays, Fables": his past, the giver welcomes the general, his father-in-law holds the seat, the wife holds the scarf, the housekeeper avoids the seat, and the burner avoids the stove. On the contrary, the giver competes with it.

When Yokoju first came to the hotel, the guests in the hotel had to be ushered in, the hostess of the hostel personally arranged a seat for him, and the hostess waited for him to wash with a towel and comb, and the travelers had to give up their seats when they saw him, and the people who baked the fire stayed away from the fire when they saw it.

By the time he left the inn, the guests were already seated with him.

This is the same dust as the light.

The poet of later generations, Buddha Wang Wei, also realized this principle and wrote "The wild old man and the people are fighting for the table, and the seagulls are more suspicious." The famous sentence of the ages.

It can be seen that although there are differences in the words of Buddhism, the truth of heaven and earth contained in them is the same.

At this time, Lu Qing's spiritual realm has improved to another level, and he has become more familiar with the use of spiritual power, and he can already use his spiritual power to interfere with reality and control the cycle of life and death of the surrounding plants and trees like the original Heavenly Demon.

This reincarnation is not the reincarnation of the other.

Reincarnation, reciprocating also.

Those who go are said to be going, coming is called reincarnation, and reincarnation is the meaning of circulation.

Taoism is called endless life, and Buddhism is called reincarnation.

Lu Qing prefers to call it the Psychic Technique.

With one's own heart, the illusion of Zhou Tian's things is for the illusion of the heart.

"Did you sleep well?" Lu Qing got up and asked Murong Jiu, who was walking towards him.

"What about you? How does it feel? Murong Jiu didn't answer the rhetorical question, and seemed to be a little worried about Lu Qing's state.

Lu Qing smiled slightly, stretched out his index finger a little in front of him, and in an instant, a spring peach sprouted from the void and grew into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.

Just when Murong Jiu was amazed by Lu Qing's hand void creation, the towering peach tree still turned into a little streamer and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"This is the art of mental illusion, and it transforms all things with mental power." Lu Qing explained: "But with my current mental strength, the transformed thing will last for a while at most. ”

When Murong Jiu saw this magic technique, he knew that Lu Qing's supernatural powers were improving, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

It's just that......

It's just that the stronger Lu Qing is, the bigger the gap between them, maybe one day, she won't even be able to see Lu Qing's shadow.

Will they still be together at that time?

Murong Jiu didn't know whether to be happy for Lu Qing or feel sorry for himself.

"Ugh." She sighed and said, "I thought that one day I could catch up with you and defeat you, but I never thought that the gap with you would get bigger and bigger."

Lu Qing saw that she was a little frustrated, so she encouraged: "Three thousand avenues, the road I take is not the only way, if you want to surpass me, then you have to go out of your own way." ”

"The true qi of the mixed yuan is the foundation I have laid for you, if you can build on it and continue to open up new paths, you may not be able to beat me in the future."
