Chapter 143: Lost Dreams

Nan Jiyun shook his head and corrected the stone's words: "Although what you said is correct, but it is just a mediocre opinion, in my opinion, the cultivation of the Tao first cultivates the mind, in order to subdue the evil demons in the heart, this is what the cultivator has to do." β€œ

"Subdue the evil spirits in your heart?"

"Not bad. Nan Jiyun said loudly: "Stone, don't be discouraged by the momentary setbacks in front of you, you have to travel thousands of miles, go through ten tribulations, and subdue the evil demons in your heart, only in this way can you make a life for heaven and earth in the future, and get rid of the mortal body and the sea of suffering, you know?"

"Uncle Shi, why don't you come and help me, Uncle Shi?" Shi remembered the helpless moment he had experienced, and couldn't help but sobbed secretly, he felt that the pressure brought by his moral mission was too great, making him at a loss, he was like an abandoned child with nothing to rely on, Nan Jiyun smiled bitterly, "Shi, your path of cultivation is destined to be more difficult than anyone else, but you have to keep in mind that no matter when and where you are, even if the darkest moment of the Three Realms comes, don't forget that you are the descendant of the Maoshan Sect's Five Thunder Rectification, remember." Nan Jiyun's voice gradually weakened, and his figure gradually blurred until he disappeared into the golden light.

"Uncle, uncle!" No matter how the stone shouted, the figure of Nan Jiyun never appeared in the golden light, the golden light in front of him suddenly became stronger, after a flash, the statue of Sanmao Zhenjun loomed, the golden crown and jade belt, sitting on the hall, the stone was full of tears, puffed down and knelt on the ground, pious prayer: "The ancestor is above, the disciple is really stupid, the cultivation is not successful, I am afraid that I will live up to the protection of the ancestor, and the master's nurturing grace can not be repaid, please punish the ancestor." β€œ

"Stone, why do you say that?" Liu Laodao's voice came, and Shi looked up, and in front of the statue stood his master Liu Guquan, goosebumps, old man, looking at him with a disappointed face, and the two masters and apprentices appeared in the main hall of the Qing Palace on Maoshan at this moment.

"Master!" the stone fell into the master's arms, unable to control his tears, he remembered many past events, when he was a child, he meditated with the master every day, walked the streets and alleys, and later left the master to go to Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Ruyi met, and was humiliated in Chaotian Palace, a few years later, and Zhang Ruyi reunited, Rotten Keshan sacrificed his life for her to fight, and now she will eventually become someone else's bride, the past is vivid, like a piece of blade, cutting his heart, blood like crying.

In Liu Laodao's eyes, the stone will always be a child, and he comforted the stone: " Apprentice, your mood for the teacher to understand, when the senior brother died, the Maoshan faction soon had a lot of birds, worthy of being abandoned, for the teacher to live in the rivers and lakes, and later in Longhu Mountain sweeping and miscellaneous, a sweep is twenty years, and finally returned to Maoshan to reopen the mountain gate, for the teacher was also like you, countless times wanted to give up, countless times to the ancestor begged, but for the teacher finally did not give up, but also accepted you and sixteen two apprentices, for the teacher this old bone refused to fall, for the Maoshan faction of a line of incense, stone, do you understand?"

"But, I, I've seen people from other sects, their Taoism is stronger than me, and I have encountered a lot of ghosts, there are monsters and monsters, in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, in Lei Mountain, in Dongting Lake, they are also better than me, I'm afraid I can't do it, Uncle Shi said that the cultivation should subdue the evil in my heart, I inexplicably killed in Dongting Lake, as if in the evil spirit, Miss Jin'er told me that there seems to be a ghost power in my body, it will be out of my control, I am afraid that I will bring shame to the Maoshan faction in the future, and humiliate the ancestor. "The stone of shame is like a sinner, waiting for the Master's release.

Liu Laodao sighed, like a father and son in the middle of the family who were worried about three meals a day, "Your heart is not quiet." β€œ

Shishi's face was as red as fire, and he looked down and didn't dare to look at Master, but he didn't dare to admit it, but he said, "Master, can you tell me who my parents are and where are they now?"

"Do you really want to know?" Liu Laodao was also hesitating in his heart, but this secret would have to be told to him sooner or later.

Stone nodded, he was thinking about what kind of people his parents would be day and night, what kind of words would he say to him if they met, did he miss him at the moment?

Liu Laodao no longer avoided this question, made a decision in his heart, and said: "Stone, your parents' affairs should not be hidden from you, but there is a reason for it, and the teacher promised you, and when you are officially equipped with the Daomen talisman, the teacher will definitely tell you." β€œ

"Thank you, Master. The stone knelt down and kowtowed to the master.

Liu Laodao was relieved, and said with a positive color: "Also, now that I have thought about it, if the Maoshan faction is absolutely broken, if it is not for you and my power to stop it, everything is fate, just let him go, stone, you must not be worried, just uphold the right path, just concentrate on cultivation, I am afraid that the Taoist method of the teacher is shallow, and I can't help you, I am ashamed and ashamed!"

After that, Liu Laodao's figure also disappeared into the black background, and the statue of Sanmao Zhenjun also disappeared, and the stone shouted to the master again and again, but the dark space did not react, but a figure walked in, he was wrapped in black clothes, a pair of eagle eyes shot two lights, and said: "Stone, do you remember me?"

Shi looked at the sharp eyes, which made people tremble, and remembered a person, and said, "You, you are Zhang Zhenren?!"

"Hahahaha, Stone, you still remember me, you took the Golden Flower Lady to ruin my big thing, I will come to take your life today. Zhang Zhenren waved his hand, a black shadow flew towards the stone, the stone hurriedly raised the obsidian to block, unlike usual, the obsidian did not make any sound, only to see a ball of golden light attack, the stone stood outside the Chaotian Palace, the sun was warm, in front of the departing governor Zhou Tianxiang's guard of honor, Ba Sima, Wang Gonggong and Zheng together, as well as Zhang Ruyi, she was looking at herself and said: "Stone, I'm sorry." β€œ

"It's okay, I don't blame you. The stone finally spoke, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Ruyi's figure was blurred all of a sudden, he came to a wedding scene, the bride and groom were worshipping heaven and earth, the groom official was Liu Dianzong, high-spirited, happy eyebrows, the bride smiled shyly, wanted to refuse and welcome, not someone else, it was Zhang Ruyi who he thought about for a long time, the two were finally sent into the cave room by everyone, in a burst of earth-shattering firecrackers, the stone was dizzy, fell into the air, and in mid-air he heard someone say to him:" Stones, stones, wake up from the love of children!"

He opened his eyes and saw that he was sitting in a hall, and sitting at the top of it was the Long Live Toad Witch Toad who had preached to him, and he was looking at him with a pair of green eyes open at the moment, and he exclaimed, "Master Witch, why didn't you say goodbye last time?"

"Why, does the stone miss the old man?" the witch toad tasted a cup of green tea, the tea fragrant slightly.

"I still want to continue to learn the Tao from the wizard. β€œ

"Hmm. Wu Toad put down the teacup in his hand, "But the old man sees that you have a lot of good things hidden in your body, what you need to do is to learn to control them and use them." The witch toad twisted her long beard, thoughtful.

"I don't understand. The stone cried sadly, at a young age, he had too much sorrow in his heart that he couldn't say to others, which made him unhappy, "Actually, I don't want to learn, I'm afraid I can't do well, I just want to be an ordinary person, really, live a life like an ordinary person." β€œ

Wu Toad laughed, the long beard in his hand flew away, and said: "If it is, confused by the universe, tired and ignorant of the beginning, stone, if you think so, then the old man really sees the wrong person, and the boneless jade sword should not be buried in your hands, and return it to the old man." β€œ

After that, the witch toad reached out to the stone in his arms, the stone was afraid that there was no boneless jade sword, and even he could not protect himself, so he regretted saying those words, refused to return him, got up to dodge, just left the seat, only felt that the sky was falling, a trance, when he woke up, he found that he had returned to the spiritual illusion realm, the purple sky was high and ethereal, the stone stepped on the colorful petals all over the ground, and walked into a purple flower forest, the fragrance of the flowers was in the heart, which was refreshing, outside the flower forest was a colorful waterfall, Nuwa's shadow was lying in the flower nest, and the yang fire beast and the yin ice beast were sleeping soundly on the side。

Stone finds himself back in the Spiritual Realm, where his life begins to look different, and perhaps here is the answer he wants.

Relying on his memory, he quietly approached the waterfall, and Nuwa got up and smiled: "Stone, are you back?"

Nuwa Niangniang is really still waiting for him. 17

"Nuwa Niangniang, am I dreaming?"

"A dream can also be awake, the ups and downs in the world are nothing more than a drunken dream, why should the stone ask. β€œ

However, the dream is too real, and the pain is also real.

"Nuwa Niangniang, please tell me, I, what should I do?" The stone stood in front of Nuwa like a lonely little lamb who had been driven out of the flock, and his figure was lonely.

Nuwa sensed the chaotic thoughts of the stone and knew that he was experiencing inner torment, and said, "Shi, you have to believe in the power of yin and yang. β€œ

"What is the power of yin and yang?" the stone was dazed.

Nuwa's face has not changed at all, she is still so beautiful that the stone is envious, she whispered to the stone: "Yin and Yang have infinite power, but also can restrain all evil demons, I know the origin of the evil demons in your body, this is also the purpose of I give you Yin and Yang Qi, you have to believe in the power of Yin and Yang, when you learn to use the power of Yin and Yang to tame it, you will understand what I said today." β€œ

"Nuwa Niangniang, I still don't understand, why are you telling me this, and why do you want to give me yin and yang? I want to know, where is that "Ghost Book"?"

Nuwa smiled without saying a word, turned her head and played the Xuanxi flute, the Yin Ice Beast and the Yang Fire Beast woke up, found that the stone was coming, and ran over to make an intimate move, and the giant cat of the Yin Ice Beast hit the stone on its head, almost overturning the stone to the ground, and kept making intimate movements around the stone.

"Stone, do you remember the story I once told you?"

"Remember something, Haotian God, Emperor Xudu turned against him?"

"Well, that's not the end of the story. β€œ

"It's not over?"

Nuwa smiled helplessly, her eyes looked at the sky, the stone followed her gaze, and the purple sky clearly had a crack like a scar, long as neon, hanging in the southwest sky, like a trace drawn by a meteor, faintly red halo like blood, and the stone felt a chill.

"It's a crack in the sky, and there's going to be a nightmare in the future. β€œ

This nightmare will be the darkest hour of heaven and earth.

Shi couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe Nuwa Niangniang's words: "Who is it, who is going to do such a bad thing?"

Nuwa stopped talking, and with a wave of her hand, the two giant beasts finally worked together to overturn the stone and threw it in the air, and the Yang Fire Beast opened its bloody mouth to bite the stone, and the stone broke out in a cold sweat, "Who is it!" Suddenly, the stone woke up from the dream, only to find that he was still in the side hall of Junshan Island, and he quickly confirmed that the obsidian and the boneless jade sword had not been lost, and it turned out to be just a dream.

Is it a dream? But everything is more real than reality.

He looked around, only to see the dawn outside the window gradually revealed, the stone was glad that he saw the sun again, several people next to him were still asleep, Dou Qiongying leaned on Jin'er and half-lay and half-sat on the outermost side of the side hall, Yin Mengfu blew the sleeping whistle next to him, only the place where Li He slept was empty, and there was a letter pressed under a tile.

On the top of Tianmen Mountain, there is a flat land on the side of the abrupt stone cliff, hidden under the rocky green trees.

The morning mist is shrouded, and the sun has not risen, like a chaotic world.

A burst of purple smoke rose from the Dan furnace, like a circle of ink diluted in the water to dissolve in the morning mist, this Dan furnace is set up in the open air, tall as a tree, the furnace is like a crown, the upper part is made of stones, the upper part is a closed stone pot, the round drum is like a large urn, the hollow belly of the lower section is filled with firewood, coal, burning a faint blue flame, the simmering fire slowly boils the medicine in the furnace.

The way of alchemy, the various factions in the Taoist sect are different, the alchemists from ancient times, all take the Ding furnace as the priority, the non-Ding has no Tibetan medicine, the non-furnace has no way to transport the fire, the jade pillar Dan method created by Yunmeng Xian Weng is the best, the method is Huachi and Dan, and the sulfur of Zeng Qing is covered with sulfur, steamed for 50 days, and the Dan furnace is sent to serve Liujia Liuding, and the Dan furnace is rain, dew, frost and snow, and the furnace is added to the Dansha, orpiment, Twenty kinds of elixir such as realgar, painted in the stone kettle with 61 mud seal, the scriptures and martial fire are repeatedly refined, and the refinement is called a turn or a return, and it becomes a golden pill after nine returns, and the mortal bones can be dissolved after taking it, and the upper one soars, and the lower one is autopsied. Liuyi mud is a strange thing of the Daomen, with jade, Rong salt, alum stone, brine salt, East China Sea Zuogu oyster, red stone grease, talc crushed into minced powder, and vinegar as mud, Liuyi mud is the key to the jade pillar Dan method, but also the exclusive secret recipe of Yunmeng Xianweng.

The purple gas rising Dan furnace is made in accordance with the jade pillar Dan method, the upper water and the lower fire, which is called both Ji in the Yi hexagram, and the water and fire are used in the next step. There is a stone room next to the Dan furnace, and there are three black engraved characters on the stone wall: Yunmengju.

The stone room is chiseled by the mountain, the inside is extremely neat, the layout is simple, in addition to the stone bed, the stone bench, only a side of the incense case, a few futons, Yunmeng Xian Weng is sitting on the stone bed at the moment, the whole body is full of smoke, there must be fog, his face is ruddy like a newborn baby, his inner Dan has completed a return today, is gathering and breathing, under the stone bed, wrapped in a black dress and black hat The little flying magpie is also mixed with the heat, and the Dan force is gradually collected into the body.

"Little Fei Que, how many years have you been here in Tianmen Mountain?" Yun Meng Immortal Weng opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes shot out of essence and landed on Xiao Fei Que.

"It's been nine years since I returned to Master. The little flying magpie's face was still hidden in the black clothes, and his low voice was tired.

"It's been nine years. Yun Mengxian Weng said, got up and got down from the stone bed, and slowly walked out of the stone room, and Xiao Feique also got up and followed behind.
