Chapter 34: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
After three almost uninterrupted practices, Xia finally filled her body. With an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, Kasumi inevitably felt that the people here were probably practicing very hard. Because the feeling is immediate, real, and without a hint of coaxing.
It's not like in the original world, where there are other things that affect the "practice" of the self. And that kind of practice is intangible, and I don't know whether to choose material things – money, physical appearance, dress, and so on, or spiritual, – thoughts, all kinds of concepts. Both can be practiced, but one is real and the other is illusory, but it is also real. The two influence each other and are interdependent. The spirit is revealed in matter, and the spirit changes matter and is immense.
But it's all illusory, Kasumi as a person, if you are immersed in material things, then today you will know tomorrow, or you don't have to think about it at all. Although the same is true of the spiritual world on the surface, one day at a time repeats itself, but he has a sense of hierarchy. You'll have an epiphany one day, or you may remember yesterday – a long time ago, and it's completely different.
And here there are not so many choices, only life and death, and if you don't practice, you will die. Cultivation will also die, but death will take place. The more you practice, the easier it is to die, Kasumi once thought so, but quickly suppressed it. Don't dare to think too much, this weak mind is like a kite with a broken string, and only when the wind stops can it fall - don't think.
It's time to set off again, Jiuzhuan hopes that he can find an ordinary and strange creature, that is an ant, but it is very special, called the dreaded black ant, which is the weakest existence among ordinary black ants, and is generally excluded by the ant colony, or treated unfairly, often thin and afraid of many things. The name was named after the Nine Turns, and he studied it for a long time before he noticed this ant.
This most wasteful ant was actually discovered by him to have the miraculous effect of opening up the meridians, which was for the Zerg, and other races had never experimented with it in the Nine Revolutions. He also discovered it in many lifetimes, but it takes more than seventeen - for Kasumi, different creatures have different dosages, and it is not necessarily good to eat more. Because the main thing is to develop potential, every insect has it.
Just like the colorful talents of the human race, everyone is different in what they are good at, and the twists and turns are far more complicated than those of the zerg. Even the Terrans can develop things that suit their talents, but the Zerg can't do it, and the Zerg can only discover what is known. As long as the human race dares to think and dare to act, it is rare to find where their talent lies, that is, the one who loves it the most, the one who is most willing to devote time and energy to it, or has a sense of impulsiveness.
Often it changes a mind's mind and makes him do it instead of waiting, like a catalyst. But it is only a catalyst, otherwise it does not exist, that is, the mind is too strong to be broken.
The Zerg are much less, either eating and waiting to be eaten, or practicing and not being eaten. It is not even possible to choose, because without almost thought, the mind is solid to infinity, and it is extremely difficult to change. That's why Nine Turns chose a smart one, not a stupid one. This is also an idea that he has been brewing for a long time, for a long time.
But what actually happened was far more than he could have imagined, and he still believed that this was the only way he could escape the endless cycle. He didn't want to be killed, he wanted to live until he died, and for that he could sacrifice a lot, even if it was as tormenting as he was now.
Kasumi was lying on the bird's back, manipulating the bird while thinking. Just like walking on a silent path, he will give up thinking from time to time and look for an ant's nest, but it is difficult to encounter in the air, and in a state of deep thought, he can only completely abandon his thoughts.
He began to harness this bird as if it were a part of his body, constantly shuttling through the grassy mountains, and even fell in love with the feeling of the rapid wind blowing on his face. He seemed to be sitting by the window of a bus to a village, letting the wind whistle across his cheeks.
This reminded Xia that she had forgotten to look for the black ants. Instead, he began to drive the free bird, and as he walked through the dense grass, Kasumi couldn't resist the call from his body, and he had to call twice. If it was true that his chirp was heard in this place, perhaps this was the reason why the birds called twice from time to time?
Xia flapped her wings vigorously, and suddenly felt that her body was raised, this feeling was really real and illusory, I don't know how to say it is accurate. It's happening, but it's right in front of you, but your brain is light, like sinking into a dream.
Kasumi, your goal.
Just as Kasumi was becoming more and more excited and even began to hover in the air, the Nine Turns pulled him out of the illusion he had constructed by himself, an extreme excitement that he forgot all the existence around him, the most important thing was time.
"Oh oh oh" Kasumi wanted to answer, but it was a bird's call. If you don't dare to detach your mind from this body, you will fall freely like a stone thrown into the air. Last time, Kasumi made this cover-up mistake and was rescued by the Nine Turns before landing. At that time, he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, and just watched the seconds of death go by, and did nothing.
Now that I think about it, I'm really scared, so I don't dare to do it.
Carefully identify the nest.
It's so easy to think about other things in such a boring job, and you can't control your mind at all. Thoughts are also like wings, and Xia CIA began to think chaotically after a while, and could only interrupt these thoughts by himself.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they landed near an ant's nest, and waited on some of the roads they had to pass according to the instructions of the Nine Turns. It's weird to watch them walk past their eyes. Originally, they were so small that they could climb many with one finger, but now they reached their chests.
It was a long wait before I was attracted by the cry of the nine turns. In the distance came a lone one, and at least some of the others, even if they were few. He was struggling to carry a piece of food the size of him, Kasumi didn't pay attention, only felt a little admired for such a creature, as if he had been reduced hundreds of times to the same size as them.
When I looked at them, I inexplicably felt that they were the same kind, and he should be the only one who was so sentimental.
"What do you want to do, it's better to have more left, otherwise you have to catch more. ”
And he doesn't have so many feelings after nine turns, he only knows that he has to eat, and only by eating can he break through the current predicament, otherwise he can only be an exclamator forever.
Xia had no choice but to make a move, and smashed the ant's head with a flaming fist, and the ant didn't expect that this thing was lying in ambush around the grass just after losing food, and the top of his head was hot, and he ended his life a few days early.
"This is the first one?" Kasumi couldn't help but ask herself, and punched. He glanced at his right fist, which was still warm.
