Chapter 60: The Pool of Contemplation
Ten miles out of the city to the west, there is an old locust forest, it is said that it has existed for hundreds of years, among which there is a locust god ancestral tree, which is thousands of years old, has given birth to spiritual wisdom, and has grown into a locust tree spirit.
There is a folk legend that is related to this locust tree spirit.
It is said that this locust tree essence is the seed sown by the immortals, practiced for thousands of years, and finally became the essence of the Tao, and on weekdays it hides in the void and swallows the essence of the sun and the moon, rarely revealing its true body, and only the real destined person can make it appear. The most special thing about this locust tree spirit is that there is a hole on the trunk, through which you can see a spiritual pool, and the real thoughts in the hearts of the people who see it will be reflected in the pool water, so this spiritual pool is also called the contemplation pool!
Since the legend was spread, countless people have come to find the locust tree spirit and see the magic of the Guanxin Pool. But for thousands of years, no one has been able to get their wish. The locust tree spirit could not be found at all, as if it had never existed, only the old locust forest witnessed the backs of countless people who came and returned with excitement, lying quietly in the long river of years, watching the wind and clouds.
Over time, legends became legends, and no one took them seriously.
At this time, Jing Han and others appeared in this old locust forest.
"The two of us were looking here before, and we almost searched the entire old locust forest, and we were almost three feet into the ground, and we didn't see the shadow of the locust tree spirit!" Zuo Qiu Baiying stared at the god operator viciously.
"It is said that only the real destined person can see his true body......" God Operator muttered quietly.
"It's what you said again, with your method, you will definitely be able to see that locust tree spirit!" Zuoqiu Baiying was furious.
"Could it be that you are using it incorrectly...... "God operator said timidly, obviously weak.
"Bastard!" Zuo Qiu Baiying glared angrily, pointed at the god operator and shouted: "You old liar, you are obviously deliberately deceiving my things, and finally give you a chance to return my things, otherwise, this is your burial place." ”
Hearing this, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the divine operator, he moved his steps, hid behind Jing Han, and kept a certain distance from the lich demon Muye Partridge, and said to Jing Han in a deep voice: "Xiucailang, help, the old man will give you a hexagram for free." ”
Jing Han saw that Zuoqiu Baiying didn't really want the fate of the god operator, but he was just angry and deceived, and deliberately scared the god operator to get angry, and said with a smile at this time: "Dao Chief, it's not easy for you to send a hexagram ruthlessly, but then again, Dao Chief, you repeatedly patted your chest and promised that you could take us to find the locust tree spirit, and now we have been wandering in this old locust forest for a long time, if you still refuse to show some real skills, it will be difficult to believe you even in the next place, and when the time comes, the Zuoqiu girl will find you trouble, and there is nothing you can do to help you." ”
When the god operator heard this, he immediately lowered his face and said hatefully: "You people, you know how to bully the old man, a poor old man who has no power to restrain the chicken, where is the reason?"
"Tianli is here!" Zuoqiu Baiying's hand flashed coldly, and a bright sword blade clamped on the neck of the god operator, and said coldly: "If you pretend to be a ghost again, I will cut off your head and let the bald little broken child next to you kick it as a hydrangea!"
"What are you doing? Hurry up and take the sword away, if you have something to say, move the sword and hurt the peace. The god operator smiled, used one finger to remove the sword from his neck, and dodged to the side.
"Sister, I don't want his head to be kicked as a hydrangea, dirty!" The bald little broken child suddenly let out a milky voice, with a look of disgust.
"Little bastard, what are you talking about, the old man will kill you!" The god operator stood not far away to intimidate the bald little broken child, and while taking out a bunch of messy things from his arms, he chattered, "When the old man finds the locust tree spirit, he must see if the hearts and livers of you people are black in the meditation pool, and it is really unreasonable to bully an old man like the old man, alas, the world is going down." ”
The bald little broken child's ears and replied: "Old man, I have seen people's hearts, the living are red, the dead are also red, and the dead are dark purple, as if there is no black." ”
Jing Han's heart moved, he looked at the bald little broken child, and wondered in his heart: Could it be that this little guy is the same as Lu Huairou, born with Dao pupils, and can see what others can't see?
Zuo Qiu Ze and Zuo Qiu Baiying didn't care about the old and young words, only the lich Muye Partridge was watching the god operator fiddling with the mess, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
After a while, the god operator seemed to have finished fiddling, and the whole person stood up, his face showed an unprecedented serious and solemn look, and then he pinched a Daomen handprint with both hands, his left leg was slightly bent, his right foot stomped on the ground, and he muttered in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, yin and yang are harmonized, and everything ......is renewed."
After chanting a series of four-word words, he stopped, his face covered with a layer of solemnity, and there was a faint flash of golden light at the center of his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the light in the eyes of the lich Makino's partridge became more and more, and an excited smile appeared on his face as white as a ghost.
Jing Han couldn't help but look at the god operator a few more times, this person was obviously a mortal, but he could use the retreat talisman that only a cultivator could induce, and his performance at this time was no different from that of a cultivator, but there was no trace of true qi fluctuation and divine sense on his body, which was incredible.
"This is the Rokko Qimen Dao Technique?" he was amazed in his heart.
Zuo Qiu Ze and Zuo Qiu Baiying were also attracted by the actions of the divine operator, and stared intently.
Only the bald little broken child looked disdainful, squatting boredly and counting his fingers.
Suddenly, the god operator shouted: "Open!"
As he grabbed the void in front of him with both hands, there was a soft click, as if the silk was torn, and everyone saw a white light like water waves light up in front of him, and then slowly rippled out, forming a void entrance, and it was faintly visible that there was a flickering light inside.
"Who disturbs my peace!" a slightly annoyed voice came from inside.
"Your grandfather!" the god operator shouted in response as he gasped for air.
"Presumptuous!" The voice inside was suddenly annoyed, and when the words fell, a cold light shot straight to the eyebrows of the god operator.
"Little tree spirit, dare to be murderous!" The lich Muye Partridge, who had never spoken, suddenly snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and the cold light that shot at the center of the divine operator's eyebrows dissipated, and a scream suddenly came from inside the entrance, and the dazzling essence light flickered violently, as if it was about to flee away.
"Want to go?" Makino Partridge sneered again, stepped out, and flashed inside, and then Jing Han and the others heard a frightened cry for mercy.
Soon, Makino Partridge came out of it, carrying a short old man in his hand.
"This is the locust tree spirit?" Jing Han was surprised, this short old man was full of fine light, and there was a layer of crystal in his eyebrows and eyes, like a treasure.
"It really exists!" Zuo Qiu Baiying also looked at the locust tree spirit curiously.
"Creation in the world, how miraculous, not to mention that all things have spirits, this tree spirit devours the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is similar to our monks meditating and exhaling the aura of heaven and earth, it is not unusual. Zuo Qiu Ze said in a low voice.
At this time, the god operator finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the few people who were watching the locust tree spirit with disdain, and snorted coldly: "It's just a spirit, look at your surprised appearance, as if a dog who has descended to the earth has seen for the first time." ”
The bald little broken child jumped up and agreed: "That's it, such an ugly-looking spirit, what's so good-looking, it's not as good as my ass protein." ”
Zuo Qiu Baiying's face suddenly darkened, and the true qi on his body swayed up and down.
Zuo Qiu Ze, who has always been steady, also sank his face, the words of the god operator were a bit excessive, and even the three of them were lost.
Jing Han didn't bother with the old man and the child, one spoke without brains, and came when he opened his mouth, and the other was unscrupulous, and he couldn't get along with himself at all.
"You are the legendary locust tree spirit?" Jing Han asked the short old man in Makino's hand.
"The villain is, all the immortals spare their lives!" the little old man was full of panic and begged for mercy again and again.
"We don't want your life, we just want to take advantage of that meditation pool. Jing Han smiled, comforting the frightened locust tree spirit a little.
"How many immortals just want to see the Guanxin Pool?" the short old man was stunned, the eyeballs in his small eyes rolled around, and then he straightened his stomach very happily, and with a flash of fine light, his stomach suddenly turned into a tree hole, "The Guanxin Pool is inside, a few immortals, please look at it casually." ”
"The old man comes first!" The god operator was the first to lean his head over, almost burying his face in the stomach of the locust tree spirit, as if he felt that this posture was inappropriate, he immediately raised his head, glared and said: "Bastard, you spirit also wants to take advantage of the old man, looking for death? Quickly turn into a tree!"
Seeing that the god operator was so fierce and vicious, the locust tree spirit was frightened, and hurriedly raised his head and arched his hand to the lich Muye partridge who was carrying him: "Immortal, please let the little one down, is it okay?"
"If you dare to run, you will die!" Makino snorted coldly, and then let go of his hand.
"In front of a few immortals, the little one would never dare to make a mistake. "The locust tree trembled, and then turned into an old trunk like a dragon, he was very smart, and he did not become a big tree, probably because he was afraid that a few immortals would find fault and destroy him.
"That's pretty much it. The god operator muttered, leaned in again, and looked against the hole in the tree.
"I'm going to see it too. "The bald little broken child squeezed over, and the old and the young fought there for a while.
"You guys' hearts are really black!" the god operator lifted his face from the hollow in the tree and snorted coldly and stepped aside.
"The old man is deceiving people again, what is reflected in the meditation pool is his own heart, and what you see is his own heart black. The bald little broken boy squeezed, and then said happily: "I saw a mountain-like rock sugar gourd." ”
"Gluttony!" Zuo Qiu Baiying glanced at the little broken child, then walked up and looked at it on the hole of the tree.
After a while, she raised her head, and there was a thick look of confusion on her face, not knowing what she saw.
Zuo Qiu Ze didn't disturb Zuo Qiu Baiying, and he also walked over to see the Guanxin Pool.
In the same way, his face was full of bewilderment.
"You come first. Jing Han looked at Makino Partridge.
Makino Partridge did not hesitate, probed over, and simply glanced at the inside of the tree hole, and then stood aside, with a deep groan in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jing Han was even more curious about the strangeness of the Guanxin Pool, so he also walked over at this time, lying on the tree hole and looking inside.
He saw a calm and waveless pool of water in his eyes, and on the smooth water surface like a mirror, a woman suddenly appeared, with a thin body, an old face, a pair of red and swollen eyes full of worry, I don't know who she was thinking about.
"Mother......" After Jing Han saw the woman's face clearly, his heart was hit hard, and he blurted out.
In his heart, the most concerned and reassuring is his mother.
Suddenly, the calm water surface rippled slightly, and a white-clothed figure slowly appeared beside his mother.
The white-clothed figure of "Jing Gongzi ......" gradually became clear, the familiar figure, and the voice and smile that were still fresh in my memory were like yesterday.
