278, step down the lotus platform to try the edge

Shaoliu: "That's what I'm going to talk about, whatever, you still need my help."

Fa Cheng: "Chi Yao's flesh and blood are gone, and the Yuan Shen relies on this bow that you have refined, which cannot be solved, but since he can get out of trouble, the old monk can still help a little." 【】...... The owner of the white village, the god night carving lends me a use. ”

Xiaobai took out the Shenxiao Eagle and handed it to Fa Cheng, Fa Cheng waved his hand, and cut a small hole between the middle fingers of Bai Shaoliu's right hand, only a drop of blood flowed, and he was also speaking: "I heard that the owner of Bai Zhuang once used his own blood as a guide to use medicine to treat others. ...... In fact, this trick is ignited by the predecessor of the wind boy. ...... Chi Yao worships Miss Liu as her teacher, and Miss Liu is a disciple of the Wind Boy, drinking and pecking, which has its own fate. ”

The old monk chattered about Luo Li, and the Shenxiao Eagle in his hand was volleyed in the air, and the drop of blood on Xiaobai's fingertips flew out and landed on Chi Yao's eyebrows. Chi Yao was invisible, but this drop of blood did not pass through the air, it stopped as if it had really encountered an entity, and then disappeared quickly, leaving a little rouge mole in the center of Chi Yao's eyebrows.

"I feel it, I really feel it, I feel my body!" Chi Yao exclaimed in surprise.

Fa Cheng shook his head: "It's not that you really have a body, but that the illusion has the sense of eight touches." ”

Bai Shaoliu asked, "Master, is there any difference between this?"

Fa Cheng didn't answer directly, but looked around, swept over Sanshao, Qingchen, Lianting, Braid, Xiaobai and others, and asked with a smile: "May I ask everyone, how do you know that I have a body?"

The wonder of this question, how do we know that we have a body? First of all, because we can feel, we have the perception of the five senses and the sense of posture. There is a clear boundary and distinction between the outside world and the outside world, which can naturally distinguish the self from the non-self. This body, even if you don't feel it when you're asleep, is the place of existence, the foundation of the system that sustains life.

But Chi Yao's form is very special, her body is a bow, not the form she conjure, in another sense. If she had the sense of physical touch, she would feel like a real body, even though it didn't exist. Fa Cheng is still a convenient method in the world, and it is said to be related to the wind gentleman.

Is this body me? Yes and no! It represents everything that "me" does and receives, but beyond the disembodied body, there is also an abstract and pure existence. It can be called a "god", and the introduction of Xiaobai's cultivation is to learn from "form and god" to "form and god harmony" with Qingchen, and then go up from this realm. It is the practice of "embracing each other without leaving".

It sounds a bit nihilistic, but everyone can close their eyes and think about it carefully - can we really achieve harmony between body and spirit? Is our ** in harmony with our body? Can't do it, too many people can't do it most of the time, that's why there is a spiritual practice. The introductory methods of cultivation are different in each school, but the principles are basically similar.

Taishangyun: "I have a big patient, and I have a body." "People yearn for the freedom of the state of being, to get rid of the innate shackles, and to refine the original state of the self. For today's Xiaobai, he has been doing it step by step, just like the saying: "Look at the place where the lotus platform is extinguished." That's a me", he cultivated into a lotus incarnation.

Chi Yao's situation is the opposite. She wants to have a real human body. From a spiritual point of view, it cannot be said that this is a regression of the realm. It's a process of experience. Maybe Chi Yao is too humble. Except for Xiaobai, no one really treats her as a human being. Treat her only as a statue in the Shrine of the Divine Bow or a psychic bow, despite the same attitude towards her as a normal person. Just now in the secret room of Gambides, Yoge mentioned that the people who knew his secret were Mei Yeshi, Bai Shaoliu, Qingchen, Wu Tong, Lian Ting, and Braid, but he didn't mention Chi Yao, not that he forgot, but there was no need to mention it at all.

What Chi Yao was thinking in his heart, no one knew better than Xiao Bai, so he had been helping Chi Yao achieve what he wanted, and the first thing he said when he saw Fa Cheng today was to ask Chi Yao about it, and Fa Cheng was waiting for him to solve the matter. Maybe you don't have to envy why Bai Shaoliu would have such a magical Red Refining Divine Bow, if you change someone, maybe the Divine Bow is still there, but there will be no such Chi Yao in the world.

Fa Cheng asked not a simple question, along with this sentence there is also a lot of information in the consciousness of the people, this is a kind of shravaka wisdom, everyone here has their own thoughts. The braids couldn't help but walk over and reach out and touch Chi Yao's body, which was not the same as normal body feeling, as if there was nothing like a wisp of ethereal clouds.

"It's weird, I'm feeling like I'm touching a cloud. Braided said curiously.

Qingchen and Lian Ting also walked to Chi Yao's side and stretched out their hands to touch it when they heard this, and even the three young monks on the side also stared at them curiously, and they wanted to come over and reach out to touch two handfuls and held back. Chi Yao bowed to Fa Cheng and said, "Thank you master for giving me the Fa, but I feel a little ......."

Fa Cheng: "I feel a little different, I heard that you and Bai Shaoliu are practicing as one, and the rest should be left to him, otherwise why would we wait for him to enter the door today?...... This body is the four false combinations, and there is no need to be disgusted or addicted. "Xiaobai set up a divine bow shrine for Chi Yao, borrowed the qi of Huaiqiu and the earth, and practiced as one in the fixed sitting, which means that Chi Yao's current practice is inseparable from Xiaobai's reliance.

Bai Shaoliu looked at Chi Yao and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Chi Yao stepped forward, bowing her head and showing shame on her face. Xiaobai stretched out his hand and pointed at Chi Yao, and a spiritual lotus flower rose from Chi Yao's feet, setting off her red dress and black skin like snow, like a Lingbo fairy. Chi Yao exclaimed, this time it was really heartfelt joy, and threw herself into Xiaobai's arms: "It's amazing, I really have a body, how did you do it?"

Xiaobai's feeling is as soft as holding a touch of clouds in his arms, but it is a real female body. He patted Chi Yao's back and smiled: "The laws in the world have something in common, Helen will, and I can too." ...... This is just my incarnation supernatural power, as long as you practice deeper in the future and comprehend the realm of incarnation, there will be no difference, and you don't need to rely on me anymore. ”

Qingchen walked over: "Congratulations, little white brother, this is really a great power." ”

There were words in her words, Xiao Bai easily opened Chi Yao, and said to Qingchen: "You should congratulate Chi Yao, you are really comfortable, it doesn't matter if you have great powers." That's it. ”

Under Xiaobai's persuasion, Braided left Maro City very reluctantly and returned to the Tulip Principality with Lianting. The third young monk was left behind by Fa Cheng and asked him to travel in Luoba Da 6, and Xiaobai and Qingchen took Chi Yao back to Zhixu Da 6.

Chi Yao was very excited, and she was immersed in joy all the time, not realizing that Qingchen seemed to have something on her mind. It was rare for her to be happy, Xiaobai sacrificed a lotus platform in the air to support her body. Let her always feel the feeling of being physical, Chi Yao's Qianqianyu hand stretched out, and it seemed that even the wind in the air was so cute to touch. She said in the air: "I really want to hurry back to Zahuaiqiu and tell Helen the good news, she will definitely be happy for me." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Chi Yao, then you should go to Huaiqiu to report the news first, and tell everyone that I will chase the murderer and return unharmed." (I) temporarily accompanied Qingchen to White Lotus Mountain. ”

Chi Yao agreed and turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky, but Xiao Bai did not put away the lotus platform, waved his hand in the air and divided the lotus platform into two, which appeared at the feet of him and Qingchen respectively. Turning around and smiling, he said, "The scenery in the sky is beautiful, let's walk slowly." ”

Qingchen raised his face and snorted, "How do you know that I want to go back to White Lotus Mountain?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Do you and I still need to ask such questions? I can feel it, you want to go back to Bailian Mountain, and you want me to go with you." ”

Qingchen pouted: "Who wants you to accompany me, I'll go back by myself." ”

Bai Shaoliu smiled and said, "Isn't it okay for me to go to White Lotus Mountain to see Zhuang Ru?"

Qingchen: "Who said no, you can come if you want, can I still not let you see my sister?"

On the outskirts of Jintian Town, Shuishi, someone bought a few buildings and a deserted mountain area on the edge of the town last year. After some renovation, it has become the real estate industry of Jintian Branch of Black Dragon Group. To the south of a newly renovated side street is the storefront of the company, which deals mainly in local products. Including mountain goods, tea, medicinal materials, handicrafts, etc., after the purchase of packaging, processing and export. The appearance of this company was very popular with the residents of the neighborhood. At least they have one more pocket money to earn. It is said that the Black Dragon Group is also engaged in export trade, and sells local products from the vicinity of Jintian Town to overseas. There are also many golden-eyed expatriate employees in their stores.

At the same time, this shop is also a cover, behind it is the White Lotus Mountain Dojo, where the dojo cave is more than twice the size of the Zahuaiqiu, the terrain is very peculiar, the mountain is not high but surrounded by layers of arch guards, such as a lotus blooming. At the center of the lotus platform, there is a natural spring flowing out of the mountain rock, which is artificially carved into a twelve-curved sanitation-like stream that flows around the entire dojo, and looks like a jade belt of petals knotted from the sky. The White Lotus Palace, the core building of the White Lotus Mountain Dojo, was built at the front end of the clear stream spring. This place was first built by Hong Hequan, and after Gu Ying's design and transformation, the appearance is very different.

This place is the construction assembly diagram drawn by Mr. Zhang Rongdao, the specific landscape designed by Gu Ying and Helen, excavated and built by the magic craftsmen, has now begun to take shape, the various scenery dotted between the mountains and forests and the spring flow have the elegant interest of integrating the East and the West, this place is a blessed place suitable for the cultivation of the outside world, and there are other wonderful places compared with sitting on the Huaiqiu.

The usual affairs and accounts of the Jintian branch of the Black Dragon Group are managed by Zhuang Ru, who has lived alone at home for so long, Xiaobai also wants her to have more contact with the outside world and do more interesting things. Although the company's land income cannot meet the huge cost of building the road site, these are not under the management of Zhuang Ru, and Bai Shaoliu has another investment.

The profits of this souvenir company ensure that the land used by these people in the dojo is more than enough, and Zhuang Ru keeps the accounts in order, and is full of happiness when he yearns for a better life in the future. When she was busy and idle, Zhuang Ru was of course thinking about Xiaobai, Qingchen took herself to this place, and Xiaobai handed over this company to her, but when did her lover come to see her? Xiaobai said that he would take her back to Wucheng during the New Year, seeing that tomorrow was New Year's Day, and the New Year would be more than a month away.

When Zhuang Ru was holding her cheeks in the office in reverie, someone knocked on the door and reported: "Manager Zhuang, Mr. Bai is here." Zhuang Ru was not very comfortable with this kind of title, and was stunned before he reacted, almost jumped up from his chair and exclaimed: "Is he here, where is he?"

"I'm right here. As he spoke, Xiaobai had already strode in and watched Zhuang Ru speak with a smile.

"God!" Zhuang Ru screamed and rushed around the table, like a light little swallow, Xiaobai reached out to take it, hugged her in her ear and said, "These days, you have worked hard." Did you miss me?"

Zhuang Ru's eyes were a little red, and he punched him in the chest: "Do you need to ask me if I want you? It's not the Chinese New Year yet, why are you here?...... What about Sister Qingchen, she's not with you?" said as he looked through Xiaobai's shoulder and out the door.

"Qingchen has already entered the White Lotus Mountain, she is waiting for us in the White Lotus Palace, I will come to see where you work first, and we will go to the White Lotus Palace together in a while. With a wave of his hand, the door shut.

Zhuang Ru looked up at Xiaobai. A flush appeared on his white cheeks, his eyes were full of infinite tenderness, and his bright red lips opened slightly, as if he was expecting something. Xiaobai understood what she meant, lowered her head and kissed it, Zhuang Ru closed her eyes, it was a very lingering wet kiss. ...... After a long time, I only heard Zhuang Ru gasp and say, "Let's go." Sister Qingchen is still waiting in the mountains. ”

Xiaobai sat on the chair and wrapped his hands around Zhuang Ru's waist: "Let me take a good look at you, I haven't seen you for a while, the more I look at you, the more bright and moving I feel." It seems that the landscape here is really good. ”

Zhuang Ru turned his head: "You love to praise me...... Why did you suddenly come here today?"

Bai Shaoliu: "If you have something to pass by, of course I want to come to see you, don't worry, I will come to pick you up again after a while." ”

Zhuang Ru: "Take me back to Wucheng for the New Year?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Of course I want to go back to Wucheng, but before I go to Wucheng, I will take you to a place, that is, the Fountain of Youth, on a small island overseas, where the silver sand beach is very beautiful." ”

Zhuang Ru's eyes were a little confused: "I still can't believe it, that's not the place where people like me should go." ”

Bai Shaoliu smiled: "Who should be? White Lotus Mountain is a cultivator's cave heaven, doesn't Qingchen have to bring you here?"

Zhuang Ru: "My sister compares things

Bai Shaoliu shook his head: "It's not 'comparison' but 'very'." But it's nothing. ”

Zhuang Ru: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a place in the world that is separated from the world, it's like a fairyland in a dream." White Lotus Mountain is right next to the town, but if no one opens the portal for me. I can't even get in, I can't find it. ”

Bai Shaoliu: "You like it so much? Then we will settle down in Jintian Town from now on." ”

Zhuang Ru said happily: "Okay." Sister Qingchen is by my side, and I can still see her from time to time. Actually, I thought so in my heart. ...... What about Uyu?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Be a vacation place, when you want to go back and see, go back, whatever you want." It's not early, let's enter the White Lotus Mountain, and this time I will personally open the portal for you. ”

At dusk, Xiaobai and Zhuang Ru walked side by side into the White Lotus Mountain and stepped on the white stone steps in front of the White Lotus Palace. The White Lotus Palace is a garden-style building on the hill in the middle of the lotus platform, which is a place for cleaning and repairing the dust, and Zhuang Ru has another residence in Jintian Town. The full name of the White Lotus Palace is "White Lotus Real Xianyuan Palace", there is no plaque on the porch, and a bare white mountain stone at the end of the stone steps in front of the gate is flattened, and there is a column of words "White Lotus Real Immortal Yuan Xing" on it.

These words are not the handwriting of some famous artists, but Qingchen directly "wrote" on them with the tip of a purple gold gun, and it is also an iron hook and silver stroke. Qingchen is interesting, this is her place of cultivation, but it is named after Xiaobai's font size.

Qingchen had been waiting for them at the door for a long time, she was so quiet, the other disciples in the White Lotus Mountain were scattered in the other courtyards, and there was no one else in the White Lotus Palace. The three of them set out wine and food in the backyard gazebo and drank each other under the moon. This used to be the place where Xiaobai killed Hong Hequan and others in order to avenge Qingchen, but now the environment and atmosphere have completely changed, and he suddenly returned to the years in Wuyou. At the beginning, Qingchen lost his skills, Zhuang Ru's face was not healed, and there was a Huang Jing downstairs, Xiaobai returned home every day, and it was warm at dinner.

Qingchen didn't keep a straight face, talking and laughing with Zhuang Ru, Zhuang Ru gently poured wine and vegetables for Xiaobai, but he didn't realize that it was late at night. Zhuang Ru raised his head and said: "Today is New Year's Day, another year, I wish all the suffering has passed, from now on it should be our happiest day, Sister Qingchen, are you right?"

Qingchen smiled: "I'm happy when my sister is happy, it's late at night, I'll go to rest first, Brother Xiaobai, you can sit with your sister again." ”

Qingchen said hello and left the backyard, Xiao Bai said: "Aru, let's go back to Jintian Town, don't stay in the White Lotus Palace to rest." ”

Zhuang Ru shook his head: "No, I'm not leaving, a quiet room was originally prepared for me in the White Lotus Palace." ...... Xiaobai, don't accompany me, it's hard to get White Lotus Mountain, today is a good opportunity, you should go to Sister Qingchen to talk about it...... Do you remember the last time I spoke in the local language?" Zhuang Ru leaned into Xiaobai's ear and whispered a few words, and his face turned red as he spoke.

Xiaobai's expression was a little unnatural, and he smiled bitterly: "I know, you go to rest, I'll go find her." ”

Zhuang Ru went, but Xiaobai didn't leave to find Qingchen, he sat alone under the moon and drank alone, thinking until dawn. Zhuang Ru left the backyard alone, and Xiaobai had been sitting there without leaving, Qingchen knew. Xiaobai didn't go to her, Qingchen was a little anxious, and when it was almost dawn, she finally walked out of the quiet room and came to the backyard.

"You didn't accompany your sister, and you sat here alone for half the night?" Seeing that Xiaobai was still sitting there with a cup, Qingchen couldn't help but ask, his tone was still a little displeased.

"Qingchen, you and I may not have brought Zhuang Ru here, she doesn't belong to this world, in fact, you have also tried to teach her the mantra and mental method of peace of mind and body, but she doesn't have that qualification and opportunity, I know these in my heart. Xiaobai didn't look up, looked at the wine glass and said slowly.

Qingchen: "I'm willing, you gave it to me from the White Lotus Mountain Dojo, and I'm willing to let my sister come." You can rest assured that nothing else will happen and nothing will cause trouble. ...... My sister is a poor person, I won't embarrass her, didn't you already make it clear to me when we first came to Jintian Town?"

Bai Shaoliu raised his head and looked at Qingchen: "You and I are Taoist couples after all, since Gu Ying's matter, I feel ashamed of your negative anger in my heart, we always have a gap, this is not a long-term solution, what do you want me to do in your heart, you might as well tell me today." As long as you say it, I will do what you wish, and I will have no regrets. ”

Qingchen was a little nervous: "Little white brother, what do you want?"

Bai Shaoliu smiled: "The day before yesterday, I encountered Futimo in danger, you and I will never give up on life and death, I also figured it out, I am your little white brother after all, you brought Zhuang Ru here, or because of me." When he spoke, there was a wind in the dojo, and there was a fog in the wind, and the fog was very thick like white silk wrapped around the pavilion, and when the wind dissipated, Xiaobai's figure had disappeared into the white mist.

Qingchen was not surprised, but he was puzzled, squinting at the gazebo. I saw that a jade white stem was born on the stone slab of the pavilion, and then a huge flower bud was born on the white stem, and the flower bud bloomed into a lotus platform in the morning light, and the figure of Bai Shaoliu appeared in the center of the lotus platform. Xiaobai's figure reappeared, and he walked down the lotus platform to Qingchen's side and said softly: "Qingchen, the me in front of you is still the same me when we first met, do you remember the night we were on the silver beach? You and I hugged each other under the moon, it was yesterday." This incarnation often meets you in the White Lotus Mountain, as you wish, and you can walk together in the next day. ”

As he spoke, Xiaobai opened his arms and hugged Qingchen's shoulder, Qingchen looked at him with a strange expression, but his face suddenly sank and he beckoned, and the purple gold gun flew out of nowhere, and with a loud shout, the sharp purple electric golden light pierced Xiaobai's chest.

Such a close distance and defenseless, with the power of Qingchen's full force, not to mention Bai Shaoliu, it is not easy for any kind of master to use. Xiao Bai's figure was shattered by the purple electric golden light, and then he heard a sharp exclamation. Qingchen put away the gun and turned around, only to see Zhuang Ru just walked to the door of the backyard at some point, and happened to see this scene, pointing in front of him with his mouth open, and his frightened eyes fell softly.

Qingchen hurriedly came to Zhuang Ru's side, Zhuang Ru was not on the ground but was supported by another person behind him, this person was Xiaobai who was killed by Qingchen with a shot just now.
