Chapter Ninety-Five: The Water Central

The so-called vital events that we have to face every time in life are often just small things that can be smiled at and light-hearted when we look back.

And some small things that often appear in life, often in retrospect, may be a big event that can change fate.

Xu Changting, who dived into the lake, when his body was alternating between hot and cold, he couldn't help but think of the words that the great monk Huisi said when he was in Yongning Temple today.

Xu Changting, who was naked, was wrapped in a little cold lake water, and he didn't know when he was already sitting cross-legged in the water like an old monk in a fixed place, and the alternation of hot and cold in the dantian was still as usual, making him feel cold for a while and hot for a while.

Although he couldn't see in the dark water, the feeling of alternating between hot and cold at the moment really made him feel better.

even attracted a lot of fish to come over to "watch", and as time went by, Xu Changting could feel that the tail ran over to see the lively fish, and from time to time he would not put his mouth against his body, as if he was trying to see if he could eat it.

Xu Changting's dantian also became more and more uncomfortable at this time, one cold and one hot, the two qi were like a Taiji diagram of one yin and one yang, turning in the dantian like a knife, as if chasing each other, as if they were going to devour each other.

The feeling of tearing pain became more and more intense at this time, so that Xu Changting couldn't help but want to open his mouth and shout several times to reduce the pain2, but because of being in the water, Xu Changting could only frown and bear the sharp pain as if he was about to tear himself.

At this time, because of the pain of the dantian, he could no longer perceive whether his limbs were hot or cold, but in the blur of pain, he seemed to feel that the fish around him would gather on his chest for a while, and then run to his back.

The strong feeling of pain was wrapped in two qi energies, one cold and one hot, and gradually seemed to be not satisfied with only chasing in the dantian, and began to rush out of the dantian without Xu Changting's control, wandering in the various meridians in the body, and just when Xu Changting realized that the cold and hot like yin and yang began to wander in the eight veins of the Qi meridian, and wanted to suppress the qi that continued to rush upward, suddenly the two qi forces rushed straight to the Baihui acupoint above his head from behind his ears.

Xu Changting only felt as if there was a thunderbolt in his mind, and a bang sounded in his mind, and the whole person almost fainted from the impact.

And almost at the same time, the fish that were originally around him seemed to have been hit by something, and together with the lake water that was wrapped around Xu Changting, it was as if they were shaken away by a force of energy, but they returned to normal in an instant.

At this time, a small whirlpool was silently formed on an uninhabited water surface far away from the painting boat, and then ripples spread out to the surroundings.

Xu Changting in the water was gradually blurred at this moment, and there was a faint trace of blood oozing out of his mouth and nose, even his eyes and ears, but it would soon be diluted by the lake water.

And Xu Changting, whose consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, seemed to suddenly see that year in front of his house, looking at himself with a shocked look on his face.

I saw that the Taoist priest was still the same as he was back then, with a sparse beard, a not too clean robe, only a few locks of tattered Buddha dust, and that thin cheek full of wrinkles: six reincarnations, wind and clouds covering the moon, sickness and weakness, punishment, killing, and short-lived...... Unfavorable to family luck, although intelligent, often in danger, sick, weak, disabled, lonely and widowed.

However, the chaos is uncertain, the heaven and the earth are auspicious, the slight origin, and the gradual growth, the innate five elements belong to the golden water, then the complete harmony, peace and ease. This number is a strange number...... Inhuman.

At this time, Pei Murong on the deck looked at the surrounding lake, and it was almost time for Xu Changting to enter the water, but ...... But it never surfaced, which made her heart more and more nervous.

"Hornuer......." Pei Murong's face turned a little pale, and he was afraid that something would happen to Xu Changting.

"Miss Pei don't worry, Weiyang has no problem holding his breath in the water for half an hour, and he may not know where to swim now, and not seeing it doesn't mean that he hasn't surfaced." Hornuer comforted.

"Is he really not in danger?" Pei Murong grabbed one of his sleeves with both hands, and his face was full of nervousness and uneasiness: "Do you want to tell Lord Xu ......." ”

Huo Nuer shook her head silently: "No, Weiyang is afraid that his parents will worry, so he will let me help him back to the cabin first to avoid being discovered by his parents." ”

Looking at Huo Nuer's calm appearance, Pei Murong was a little relieved, but a pair of beautiful eyes still with a hint of anxiety would still nervously search on the calm lake, and from time to time he would also glance at the clothes hanging next to him, and he couldn't wait for all of a sudden, those clothes suddenly stood up automatically, and then Xu Changting's appearance appeared.

At this time, Xu Changting in the water, who was originally meditating on his knees, was like a baby in his mother's womb, curled up tightly.

But as his consciousness gradually woke up, Xu Changting's originally curled up body gradually stretched out in the water, and the fish that were originally around him had long since disappeared, and then Xu Changting suddenly opened his eyes as if he was awakened by a nightmare.

After realizing that he was still in the water of Tianwang Lake, Xu Changting subconsciously moved his limbs, and the dantian at this time gradually became calmer, and his tightly closed lips also showed a faint smile at this time.

"Although there is no cure, I have to say that soaking in the lake water can not only reduce my pain, but also seem to shorten the time I can bear it." Xu Changting slowly closed his eyes again, letting his body follow the undercurrent in the water, which was not a turbulent undercurrent, floating aimlessly.

The feeling at this time, in Xu Changting's view, is like the feeling of being cared for by his mother in his arms when he was a baby.

Some of the turbulent undercurrents didn't need to be paid attention to, and the gentle currents swept through his entire body, as if he were soothed by his sleeping mother, allowing him to wander freely.

As the water of Tianwang Lake continued to float, and the smile on the corner of Xu Changting's mouth became stronger and stronger, although the sequelae of cultivating the Diamond Sutra and the Bodhisattva Dao at the same time were still unresolved, Xu Changting had figured out what the words that Monk Hui Si said before sending him down the mountain.

Those so-called important things on the road of life, looking back, are just small things, which obviously hints at everything he has done in Banlong Village.

As for the small things that happen inadvertently, when you look back at it, it is likely to be the big event that changes the trajectory of your life, obviously...... refers to his contradictions with Po Li San, Lu Xidao, Gao Liang and others.

This is not only the so-called Buddhist cause and effect, but also the reason why my originally peaceful life began to change after I followed my family back to Danfeng City!

So, what is the cause and effect of this and your desire to suppress the Buddha and rule the world? Or is this the turning point that completely changed the trajectory of his life? Is it also the starting point for all kinds of difficulties and dangers that will be faced?

Does it matter? Unimportant? Does it matter? Importantly...... How can I protect my family and the people who care about me? As for cause and effect...... Whatever!

So just when Pei Murong was anxiously waiting and was about to reach the limit, he suddenly saw the water surface move, and then a familiar face appeared on the surface.

The unprepared Pei Murong was taken aback, but just when he was about to scream, Pei Murong hurriedly covered his mouth, so he didn't let himself call out.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Changting, whose head came to the surface, had returned to normal at this time, with a faint smile on his face.

"I heard the sound and ran out, and then Hornuer said you went into the water." Pei Murong said honestly.

"This ...... Then you don't see anything, do you? Xu Changting looked at his clothes on the side of the ship.

And Pei Murong followed Xu Changting's line of sight, forgetting to glance at the clothes hanging on the side of the ship, and immediately understood what Xu Changting's question meant, his beautiful face instantly rose into two blushes, and his eyes hurriedly moved to his feet: "I...... You...... I don't have anything...... I'll go back first. ”

After finishing speaking, Pei Murong hurriedly turned around and planned to walk into the cabin, but he had just taken two steps, as if he had remembered something, and when he was about to turn around, he felt that something was wrong, so he turned his back and asked, "You...... Are you alright? ”

"Huh? What did you say? Xu Changting raised his head and asked.

Pei Murong was stunned, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and then his whole face turned red as if it was burning, and his whole body seemed to become quite hot all of a sudden, because Xu Changting's voice ...... It's not like it's in the water, because it's too close to me, it's more like I'm standing on the deck.

"You...... How can you ....... Pei Murong didn't know what to say, and then as if there was a ghost chasing behind him, he hurriedly ran to the cabin, and as he ran, his mind was full of the situation he had just talked to Xu Changting.

Although she didn't see anything, although she didn't say anything to Xu Changting, she was actually very clear in her heart at the moment, and Xu Changting, who was standing behind her, was standing behind her when she was asking and answering Xu Changting with her back...... But there are no clothes!

Thinking of this, Pei Murong felt that his whole body instantly became extremely hot, and his whole face began to become hotter and hotter, and his mind ...... Unexpectedly, unashamedly, uncontrollably, he was thinking about Xu Changting's appearance just now.

This made Pei Murong, who was hot all over, his cheeks hot, and he felt ashamed, worried, and nervous in his heart, and he had a feeling of self-embarrassment, and then with both hands, he buried his head in the quilt, and the small hands that were exposed outside patted his head in the quilt from time to time, as if he was beating himself not ......to think about it anymore.
