In the evening of the next day, the sunset at sunset said that the green spring mountains and fields were plated with a layer of brilliant golden yellow, and the two colors of gold and blue were integrated, as if the vast world was an endless luxury hall, and a heroic atmosphere was born in it.

Dongzi continued to sit cross-legged next to a big tree next to the camp, slowly practicing the Fa. Along the way, he had to practice the thunder method every day, and now the connection with heaven and earth is becoming more and more obvious, of course, vast and gorgeous illusions also appear frequently, just like now although he is sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, he can use the thunder method to feel the movement around him. Gradually, these "feelings" strengthened with the continuous connection between Leifa and heaven and earth, and even the "feeling itself" continued to expand and expand, first to Cheng DΓΉ, a three-story building, and the Mackenzies not far away were like little people; in the huge Cheng DΓΉ, which had risen to a nine-story building, the surrounding tall trees and huge rocks were like the scene of Lilliputian, which was really not to mention; and then it became larger all the way until it was higher than the top of the huge mountain, until it reached the distant white clouds, and the clouds of the middle of the night were like boundless giant hats on their heads. And the body seems to have become bigger than several peaks, almost close to the team that followed him!

If ordinary people encounter this "realm", they will be overjoyed and devote their whole mind to it, in order to expand this feeling. I thought that focusing on this would improve the thunder method like boiling the body and making the muscles stronger. As everyone knows, they will go astray, or they will start to lose their minds, and eventually they will go crazy and fail. Or it gives the ghosts and gods the opportunity to manipulate themselves and be lured into the way of the ghosts and gods. Lost the opportunity of the immortal path!

Even if you don't focus on it, you will be complacent because of the situation, and your mind will not be stable, and it will not have much effect at the beginning, but when you practice to the extreme, you will inevitably be confused by a more intense and "real" illusion. In the end, it fell short!

Therefore, the real immortal method has very high psychological requirements, but don't think that it requires any "willpower and endurance". Those things are not at all the requirements of the mind in the Immortal Law! On the contrary, they are not required. The more determined a person is, the stronger the endurance, the more severe the problems caused by mistakes, and the more difficult it is to correct them!

The essence of the central Dharma of the Immortal Law lies in "transparency", that is, to clear the "cognitive fog" created by one's own mind, and to get rid of all kinds of fantasies that sentient beings are addicted to, so that we can leave "humanity" and reach the "Heavenly Dao". ^^yd Chinese^^ This requires the practitioner to be aware of how the various external circumstances arouse emotions and desires. And we must realize that these thoughts are not "thoughts of the mind." That is to say, "all thoughts are not self" is true, and internally, we can carefully experience the effect of "mental attachment" caused by the initiation of emotions and desires, and then temporarily get rid of their control, and look at everything from a relatively harmonious perspective.

Only in this way can we "transcend humanity without departing from humanity, and transcend humanity and connect with the way of heaven," and only then can there be a glimmer of hope for the immortal law! Otherwise, no matter how great the supernatural power is, it will eventually sink into the path of ghosts and gods, and the calamity will never be recovered. It is only because "the way of man is more than enough to make up for the deficiency of the way of man, and the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the deficiency", the way of ghosts and gods is actually just a humane variant, once you indulge in this kind of path. After all, he embarked on a road of "making up for the surplus", and at the beginning it was naturally prosperous, and it seemed that happiness and happiness would never end. However, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the things are strong, it grows old! Naturally, the way of heaven will "make up for what is lacking in the surplus and make up for the deficiency"! Who will it be harmed? Of course, it will be to the loss of you guys who "make up for the surplus"! Therefore, calamity is bound to come.

This is also the reason why those who practiced immortal law before the Tang and Song dynasties did not have any heavenly tribulations, but after the Tang and Song dynasties, those who practiced immortal law were repeatedly robbed, and even there were forty-nine heavenly tribulations. Without it, it is only because after the Tang and Song dynasties practitioners either relied on the way of ghosts and gods to practice, or confused the way of heaven with humane principles, and even openly talked about the "convergence of the three religions" and secretly welcomed the "humane" thoughts of the rulers, so that they practiced the path of "ghosts and gods" in the name of "the way of heaven", how could they not be calamitized? We will never suffer from "calamities from heaven"! On the contrary, we may suffer from "calamities from people." It's just that after the Tang and Song dynasties, there were more and more ghost and god techniques mixed in the immortal law. There are some impure immortal laws all over the eyes, and they are naturally going to suffer the "Forty-Nine" Heavenly Tribulation.

This phenomenon has become more and more severe in the traces of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Until the period when the Shushan line held the ox ear, both good and evil were impure immortal laws. Therefore, all the good and evil sects will be subject to the heavenly calamity, but the less polluted Buddha sect will not be subject to the heavenly calamity.

Those who know the opportunity, if they endure the pain and cut their love, cut off their arms to survive, or have a glimmer of life, and those who do not know the opportunity, or try to resist or evade or scheming, think that they can survive with magic weapons, friends, etc. As everyone knows, the way of man is contained in the way of heaven, and the so-called "heavenly net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky", the more resistant, the more hidden, and the more cunning it is, the more thoroughly he dies in the end! Even a trace of true spirit will be scattered between heaven and earth, and even being a hungry ghost is an extravagant hope. ^^Aishang Novel Network^^ A few of them were lucky enough to carry it over, and what they achieved was not the "Immortal Dao," but the "Ghost and God Dao"! The so-called ascension did not become immortals, but the achievement of "the Ghost and the Divine Humanity"! It was only because he cultivated the Ghost and God Heaven, so he was blessed by it, and he was lucky enough to escape from the catastrophe. But ghosts, gods, and humanity also have times when they fall, and the higher they climb, the harder they fall to the ground. Once it falls, then you can't even ask for the body of an animal!

Dongzi cultivating the land is an ancient immortal method, so he naturally understands these truths. Although the path he walked was much more difficult than that of the Dharma lineages such as Zhishu Mountain, Dan would not suffer from the calamity of the heavens like them after all. Unless he also walks into the realm of ghosts and gods one day, he will naturally suffer from the calamity of heaven like them.

At this time, he discarded many wonderful illusions, and still kept his own way, not to let his mind and soul indulge in a little, and concentrate on the operation of the inner and outer harmony. Let the source of life gather like fog, and naturally send out and naturally reap. Don't impose one, don't let up. If it does not move for a long time, it is like a humanoid plant, although it does not move a little on the outside, it moves on the inside.

Not far away, Le Lin and Danila were gathering to eat barbecue with some wild vegetables they had gathered. These wild vegetables have no taste other than a grass-like smell. And the stems and leaves are rough, so it is not comfortable to eat. But Toko-sensei. That is, "Pastor Elilu" demanded that they must eat these things, because they would get sick if they just ate barbecue every day.

Lelin chewed on the wild vegetables for a while, and immediately nibbled on fragrant meat to fill the empty palate. She looked at Danilla, who kept eating wild vegetables with her head down, and asked with concern, "It's not good for the fetus to eat this alone." By the way, what are you going to do in the future?"

After being silent for a while, Danila gasped weakly and said, "What else can I do? With this child, I can't join any organizations like mercenaries and adventure teams." It's impossible to get rich. Fortunately, after all, I am a full-fledged mage who has mastered third-order spells, and I can make some low-level magic wands or potions to live in the future. Although I can't get rich, Dan is much better than a farmer in the countryside, and I and this child will definitely not starve to death. ^^yd Chinese^^ That's fine, in fact, those who go out to be mercenaries, it's good that two out of ten can come back alive, and one out of a hundred can get rich is considered lucky. What about you? Are you the kind of maid for life? But I don't think you have a brand on you?"

Le Lin's expression darkened. In theory, she is indeed a "maid for life". To put it bluntly, it is a euphemism for "female slave". Because the average maid is either hired according to the employment relationship, or according to the contractual relationship, the owner of the costume has lived for more than ten years, and there will always be a day of freedom. Only these "lifelong slave girls" have no legal protection, except that they cannot be morally inhumane and cannot be executed for no reason, and the master can dispose of them at will, or even resell them to others. Martial artists like Le Lin are usually resold to the underground gladiatorial arena. Of course, this kind of servant usually has a special brand on his body to mark the identity of the master, and they are all branded in more obvious positions such as the head, face, arms, etc. Colalyn's body was smooth and complete, and she never saw any signs of imprinting.

Le Lin fiddled with the large piece of meat in her hand with an unnatural expression, and said in a low voice, "He said he didn't want to brand it on me." And he said that some days would give me freedom. ”

Danila whispered "oh" and said, "It seems." He's not pretty bad. ”

Le Lin was a little surprised: "Bad? He has never been bad! Why do you think he is bad?"

Danila was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "But the methods he has used to deal with the enemy in the past few days are too cruel, and ordinary people can't do it." And he doesn't blink his eyes when he digs out his brain. I've heard that only people who love to kill have this hobby. ”

Le Lin was a little dumbfounded, "It's just a dead corpse, it's no different from a stone." Killing has already been killed, how can it be regarded as a thirst for killing? It is not the abuse of a living person. In her life in the underworld, it is too common to torture the dead corpses of her enemies, and sometimes she has to "punish" the corpses of her enemies to improve her own morale. Although Dongzi's behavior was a little cruel, it was still within the range of what she could tolerate. At least he's fiddling with a dead corpse, not like the Drow who take pleasure in playing with the living.

Danila was a little speechless, not speculative for more than half a sentence. The atmosphere .com Aishang Novel Network was immediately a little awkward. So she changed her words and praised, "If only I had been free." Where are you going? I think your martial arts skills are very high. In the past few days, I have watched you and Mackenzie compete with them, and they have won every time. If only you could be a general in some small countries? ”

Le Lin asked curiously, "Women can also be generals, doesn't it mean that only men can be leaders?" She only knows that the world on the ground is a male-dominated world, and heavy things are generally male-dominated. Women are only allowed to be leaders in very special circumstances, such as when the family has a withered male or the heir is too young to preside over things.

Danila smiled and introduced, "Most of the time, it's the men who are the leaders. But in some small countries, it's not so rigid. Those countries are poor and lack talents, and whoever has the ability will naturally be promoted. In fact, it is not a good thing, the smaller the country, the more frequent the wars, if you become a general, you must lead the team to the front. There is a great possibility of dying in battle. ”

As soon as she heard about the war, Lelin's motor nerves became a little excited, and she took a big bite of fragrant barbecue and asked, "War? Which guys are you fighting with? kobolds or gnolls? Or are they sub-giants and dwarves?"

Danila smiled bitterly, shook her head slightly, and said, "Who would dare to mess with the sub-giants or the dwarves? The kobolds and gnolls are just the material for bandits, and they can't afford to blow the wind? That is, civil wars between humans are the most frequent, and they are quite brutal. ”

Le Lin chuckled in her heart, why did the earth world start a civil war? I couldn't help asking: "Isn't it good for everyone to live together peacefully? Why do you want to fight and kill? And they are all small countries, and the more they fight, the smaller the population, what should we do when we encounter large-scale attacks by kobolds, goblins, and dwarves?"

Daniela sighed. He looked at her very seriously and said, "It seems that you used to live in the underground world." Seeing that Le Lin nodded, he continued: "No wonder you don't know anything about things here." But I don't really know much, I've heard that it's all those lords who are killing each other to fight for territory. Not only are small countries frequently fighting each other, but the nobility of a country is often attacking and killing each other. \\Aishang Novel Network\\\ I heard that many mercenaries are hired in such wars, fighting Lord B for Lord A today, and Lord A for Lord B tomorrow. The enemy becomes a comrade-in-arms, and a comrade-in-arms becomes an enemy again. Over and over again, it sounds funny. Alas, I don't know what they're calling back and forth for. Maybe that's the root of human beings. ”

Le Lin then said in a tough tone: "Then I will never be the general of these guys." For I am most ruthless in a civil war between races! I also desire to fight, but I must fight for a noble cause. Otherwise, I'd rather starve to death than serve those greedy and perverted despicables!"

Speaking of this, both of them were in a heavy mood, and they bowed their heads and ate meat in a muffled voice. But I saw that the ants under my feet formed a long procession and stretched in a certain direction.

Le Lin was surprised at first, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, wasn't the direction in which these ants were crawling in the direction where Teacher Dongzi was? She jumped up with a few antelopes, and jumped in the direction of Dongzi as light as the wind.

Then, let out an exclamation: "Why are there so many?"

Her shout immediately alarmed everyone, including Mackenzie. All of them picked up their blades in a panic, and there was a "ding" sound of blades rubbing and colliding, and they hurriedly ran to this side. Pastor Elilu is the only pastor on the team. If something happens to him, then there will not even be a person who purifies water!

When everyone came around, they saw a scene of surprise.

The black forest ants and the orange leaf-cutting ants, which are longer than the thumbs, seem to be densely gathered around the temple, and they surround the "Pastor Elilu", and those who have come around have become quiet, and those who have not gathered around have lined up in a long line, constantly rushing to this side, forming an "eight-claw carpet" intertwined with black and orange. What is surprising is that these ants, who were fighting endlessly as soon as they met, were lying on the ground very peacefully and still. It is as if thousands of docile "little people" dressed in black and orange are worshipping a huge statue of the god reverently. Completely forgetting the hatred and fighting nature of each other, only the reverence and the most sincere worship of this "great statue" remained.

The crowd was still amazed. Suddenly, I heard the sound of hula and la from Tiansheng - a group of blue birds flew one after another. They were originally more timid and cautious, but now they have become less afraid of people, and they openly fly down on the branches of the surrounding trees and chirp, as if they have encountered a clear spring in the vast desert, so they all gather together and scream non-stop. The sound was crisp and intermittent, as if it was a "chorus" of blue birds, and it sounded unique.

Suddenly, a bluebird of extremely bright colors flew in, holding a black fruit the size of a little finger in its mouth and flew into the palm of "Elilu", and after putting down the fruit, it chirped twice and flew to his shoulder, just in front of his ear. It's like talking to him!

After "talking" for a while, "Elilu", who was as immobile as a humanoid plant, suddenly said, "Thank you", and the bird flew away. Pastor Elilu opened his eyes abruptly and said loudly to the people around him, "I just talked to these birds. I decided to change course tomorrow and take a detour to the northwest. ”

McKenzie, who was standing not far away, asked through the "ant carpet": "Is the road better over there?"

"Pastor Elilu" laughed, "No! the road over there is harder than this one!"

The next day, in the dense forest, the thick trees were like huge cages that closed the whole space, and the dense shrubs were like thick green stone walls that cut off a piece of freedom and hope. All that was left was the damp air of death row around everyone. It's extremely uncomfortable!

Hermina's subordinates no longer cared about the master-servant relationship, and they began to whisper and complain, "This road is like a swamp, but how can you go!"

Then, he screamed, "Ahh

So everyone stopped with the shouting and searched everywhere for the jumping spiders. This kind of jungle jumping spider is a variant of the ordinary jumping spider, not only has excellent eyesight but also has an unusually good jumping ability, and can reach the height of most of a person's height in one jump, reaching more than 20 times the length of its own body! It is equivalent to an ordinary person jumping 60 steps away! At the same time, the temperament is fierce and abnormal, and when it encounters a foreign enemy's "invasion," it will fly up like lightning, and kill the opponent with lightning speed, and if the opponent is strong, it can also run away, and it is impossible to catch it at all. Of course, how could the soldiers let go of such a good opportunity to rest and stop, shouting and screaming, looking for the "spider" who no longer knew where to jump.

Hermina's heart sank into the stone and looked at the pretending crowd coldly, and after a while, she reluctantly ordered: "Rest." It's time for lunch. ”

When everyone was just about to sit down and rest, they found a very strict problem - there was no place to sit down!

The dead leaves under your feet are either stinking mud or large, brightly colored insects crawling around, and you can tell that they are full of poison at a glance! If you sit down, you will definitely be bitten. And the priest is running out of toxins to remove. And the woods around it are extremely dense, and there is no place to release the shelter stone house. Everyone had to rest on the trunk of the tree. His mouth began to complain extremely: "This person is tired to death! I knew that I would come to such a ghost place, I would rather die under some castle! At least there is a place to bury the corpse! It's not like here, when you die, you will be gnawed by those disgusting insects with long tentacles and strange legs all over your body." ”

As soon as someone said it, more people complained, and the words became more and more ugly, probably secretly blaming Hermina.

Hemina was secretly annoyed, and the mage next to her came with even worse news: there was not much food hidden in the magic window dimensional space! Since the soldiers did not carry bows and arrows, they did not use long-range spells such as magic missiles and strong acid arrows to hunt animals for food. If you don't retire quickly, you will have to rely on the pastor's "grain-making technique" to make rations in three or four days. But that would inevitably hit morale again.

Is that the end of it?, Hermina was annoyed, and with a sword slashed off the arm-thick tree.

Amid the panicked running of the crowd, the tree let out a rumbling wail of death and slowly fell. A trace of sunlight finally appeared in the gaps in the leaves. Hemina looked up at the rare dazzling light and made a final decision ruthlessly.
