173 times, but He Yuan pierced the sonic barrier, and the bitter sea tribulation had no previous life

However, there are only eighteen miles before and after the abyss, the narrowest point is less than a zhang wide, and on both sides are steep and strange black cliffs, the cliffs are full of large and small holes, most of the holes are a square circle, and the inside is extremely dark and deep. However, as far as He Yuan could see, it was a muddy swamp, and the surface of the swamp was still squirming slightly, and bubbles were constantly coming out.

Standing at the entrance of Nai He Yuan, there were all kinds of smells in the narrow valley swamp in the wind, sometimes it was a burst of strong incense, sometimes it was a burst of foul smell, all kinds of smells were intertwined and weird, making people feel dizzy for a while.

"It's such a weird place, it seems that it's really hard to pass!" Mei Zhenyi said with a frown.

Zhiyan: "Do you know why Master said that your opportunity to go through the sea of suffering has arrived? Just because you have to come here to collect medicine, crossing the abyss is like crossing the sea of suffering." ”

A thousand years ago, Nai He Yuan attracted many cultivators to come here, for no other reason, that is, for the sake of trial cultivation, to be able to walk through Nai He Yuan, it is equivalent to experiencing all the hardships and sea tribulations, and achieving the realm of earth immortals or enlightenment. This is more straightforward than sitting in the sea of suffering, as long as you walk through the eighteen-mile canyon, there are many people who try their cultivation to come here to find opportunities, trying to walk through the abyss.

Many of the predecessors who walked through Nai He Yuan back then are now Bodhisattvas and Golden Immortals in the Buddha Kingdom and Heavenly Court, but there are also countless cultivators who have fallen here and fallen into the quagmire and re-entered reincarnation. The reason is very simple, if you don't get to the point of cultivating supernatural powers, and if you don't have that kind of state of mind for cultivation, you can't go through.

Below a thousand years, there are fewer and fewer people who come, because the predecessors and masters have created the lineages of various sects, each with its own experience of tribulation, and the cultivation has reached the time when the opportunity has come, and there is no need to go through the sea of suffering in the meditation, and the master does not encourage the disciples to do so. As a result, Longkong Mountain gradually became desolate.

There is another reason why the seniors did not encourage the disciples to go, but there was another reason, this muddy swamp felt really uncomfortable, and no one wanted to walk again after walking through it. It's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

That's what Zhiyan told Mei Zhenyi, and finally said: "Zhenyi, you have to get through, and only after going through the hardships and sea tribulations can you go to the other end of the Nai He Yuan. ”

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "What if I can't get by? Will I fall into the quagmire and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation?"

Zhiyan shook his head: "No." If that's the case, I'll definitely do my best to get you out, but you'll have failed in the tribulation, and I'm afraid you'll have to start all over again. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "This is a sea of hardship, you have cultivated as an earth immortal, you should be able to get by." ”

Zhiyan: "It's a pity that I don't refine medicine and refining medicine, only you can pick the Ming Sand for a thousand Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's useless for me to pass." ”

Mei Zhenyi looked at the narrow Nai He Yuan again: "You have just experienced the sea of hardships not long ago. There are still deficiencies in cultivation, if I can't get through, you can save it, if you can't save it, don't trap yourself in it. ”

Zhiyan smiled faintly: "Why do you think so? Master said that your cultivation has arrived." I have a magic weapon to protect myself, so I should be able to walk over. ”

Mei Zhenyi also smiled: "Yes, isn't it just a road? I have also walked no matter how far and dangerous the road is, why are you afraid of this eighteen miles and how far you can? Just stand here and wait for me, if I can pass through you safely, you don't have to go in, I will pick up the Chinese New Year's Eve and come to you again. ”

Zhiyan nodded: "That's very good, I'll just stand here and watch you walk over." ”

Mei Zhenyi held her breath and was about to move, when she suddenly remembered something, turned around and took out something from her arms and said, "Zhiyan, before leaving, I want to give you a gift, thank you for giving back the worship whip on Danxia Peak." ”

Zhiyan asked with some curiosity, "What are you going to give me again?" I remember that you have already given me two cushions. ”

"That doesn't count. It's just an exchange between Taoist friends, and this piece of Tibetan God is really like a pendant, which is a token I gave to Taoist couples. He handed over a piece of jade pendant, which was refined by the Tibetan God Stone, and after repeated refining, it was only two inches in size and a thin piece. The jade pendant presents a warm and soft white color, shaped like a wave that freezes instantly after rolling, and like a flowing cloud in the sky with the wind. The shape is exquisite, and it is as natural as it is natural.

There is a small hole in the jade pendant. Tied with a light purple string, this string is a century-old wisteria that Mei Zhenyi picked on the road. It is refined from its buds and stems, and it is integrated with the jade pendant. Zhiyan took it and exclaimed, "What a beautiful jade pendant!

Mei Zhenyi: "Yes, do you like this name? It has a very special use, as long as it is worn close to the body, when you restrain your spirit, this jade pendant can hide all kinds of breath fluctuations, making it difficult for people to be detected, and it can also help stabilize the body." ...... Come, I'll put it on you. ”

How to wear it close to the body? Mei Zhenyi hung the hidden god Zhenru on Zhiyan's chest, looked at it, and put it into the placket of his clothes, and put it between Zhiyan's chest. Zhiyan blushed, lowered his head and said softly: "Such a magic weapon, why don't you take it and wear it on yourself first? It's not too late to send it to me again." ”

Mei Zhenyi smiled and said: "You wear it more useful, whether there is this thing is not of much help to whether I can walk through Nai He Yuan, aren't you ready to save me? While speaking, he took advantage of the situation to hold Zhiyan in his arms, patted her on the back, and stood quietly for a long time before turning around and walking towards Nai He Yuan.

Unable to gain a foothold in the quagmire, Mei Zhenyi operated and performed the magic method of the inner breath, and walked forward without getting dirty. Someone broke into Nai He Yuan, and something was immediately alarmed in the caves on both sides, and there was a sound of flapping wings, only a few places at first, but gradually more and more densely packed, and the entire mountain wall on both sides and in the Nai He Yuan made a buzzing resonance sound.

If the center is not strong and the furnace is not strong, the ubiquitous buzzing and resonance in all directions can dissipate people's consciousness and shock their internal organs. The audible voices are already so powerful, and there are also inaudible sounds.

In this humming resonance, there was also a strange sharp impact, which ordinary people's ears could not hear, but cultivators' divine consciousness could sense it. This impact is capable of penetrating the thick rocks of the mountain walls, let alone the flesh and blood of mortals. What's more special is that it is not aimed at the body, but intrudes into the omnipresence of the consciousness.

A bizarre sharp sonic attack. It can arouse a thought in the divine consciousness, and thousands of sharp impacts invade the divine consciousness, and can arouse thousands of thoughts, which are like ripples at first, and gradually become turbulent waves. The various divine thoughts aroused by this inaudible sound wave awaken all kinds of memories in the depths of one's mind, and refract and amplify them into the various thoughts of all beings in the world.

It's hard to describe what it's like to feel like without having experienced it. Let's barely use a few analogies-

You once picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it over to the policeman's uncle, and this scene repeats itself. One voice tells you that this is boring, another voice tells you that this is deception, and another voice tells you that this is hypocrisy. There are also different voices complimenting you. This is the collection of gold, this is a great feeling, this is the act of a saint. Another voice reminds you, why don't you verify the identity of the police, why don't you look for the owner, you have made all kinds of mistakes!

It is a simple experience that manifests itself in the silent waves that penetrate the divine consciousness. The distortion extends infinitely to the point of absurdity, becoming the impact of all kinds of divine thoughts. Under normal circumstances, people may not think about these things at all, but at this time, it is the spiritual platform that is affected by the shock and agitation, whether you want to or not. It just forcibly cut into the consciousness.

You once poured a scoop of water on the side of the Luohuan Bridge. This is how to cause and effect on oneself, how to be a bad person and a good person, and how to be extremely evil. And another voice tells you how kind, how selfless, how compassionate. There are also many voices questioning you, why don't you do this, why don't you do that, how many unbearable ways do you have!

You once caught a fish by the lake, how you meddled in your affairs, how you destroyed your nature, how you killed living beings, how you were hypocritical and sinful and violated the way of heaven. There are also voices that praise you for your ingenuity, your skill, and your dignity. All kinds of divine thoughts are entangled. It's as if you're going to wrap your ordinary mind around the ground beyond recognition.

When you were three years old, you once pissed under a telephone pole on the side of the street, and a voice pointed out how uneducated, how shameless and lascivious, and how careless you were in this life. There are also voices praising how natural and straightforward, how natural and chic, how humorous and detached. There are also voices that say ** too small and embarrassing, some voices say that this is the root of all evil in the world, and then there are voices asking why you have the source of all evil in the world?

You have sat in the mountains for several years and have not asked about the world, and there are voices that rebuke you for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and that you are a sinner throughout history. There is so much blood and tears in the world. It's all your responsibility! There are voices praising you for being quiet and inactive, and you are a real high-ranking immortal. Thou hast dealt with the wicked and the wicked. There are voices that praise you for your chivalrous deeds, and there are voices that curse you for showing power and bullying the world.

There are all kinds of past events, and the memories are awakened by thousands of strange sharp impacts, which continue to flash in the spiritual platform, and the accompanying intrusions can also be superimposed and amplified, forcibly imprinting the strange and chaotic divine thoughts into the mind. Thousands of obsessions are magnified to the extreme, and they are constantly entangled in their divine consciousness one after another, which is absolutely uncomfortable!

Mei Zhenyi only understood at this time why walking through Nai He Yuan was equivalent to experiencing a bitter sea tribulation, his life experience, including the memories before the crossing, was all awakened, and all kinds of things he experienced aroused all kinds of divine thoughts under the strange sharp impact, intertwined and stirred his mind. However, the strange thing is that when he walked through Nai He Yuan, he did not have all kinds of memories of his past life, as far as Mei Zhenyi knew, this was different from the ordinary people's experience of suffering and sea tribulation, could he be a person without a previous life?

Not only was the buzz and sharp impact of the valley surround the way, but not long after entering the canyon, the legendary white bat appeared.

The white bat is not pure white, with a pitch-black body, sharp teeth and a long, dark red tongue, its head reaches the line of its back and its wings on both sides, with three striking white stripes, flapping its wings and flying out of the cave, and its body is the size of a pheasant. This is a unique beast in the abyss, and the source of the humming sound and sharp impact comes from them.

At first, only one or two appeared, and the further they went, the more and more white bats flew in the canyon, and Mei Zhenyi seemed to have walked into a buzzing and trembling black cloud. The biggest intrusion still comes from the countless impact divine thoughts, but Mei Zhenyi can't restrain the Yuan Shen to cut off the outer edge, because he is walking on the swamp, and he has to cast spells to move forward so as not to fall into it.

He became the target of the white bats, countless white bats circling around him and flapping their wings, and the inaudible impact of divine thoughts was almost attached to his body. Mei Zhenyi not only has to maintain his concentration, but also dissolves the impact of various divine thoughts in the continuous emergence of the past, while using the magic method to walk on the swamp, and at the same time using the demon king buckle to perform the art of self-protection. Avoid being injured by the claws and fangs of countless white bats.

This may be the slowest "Shenxing" in history, Mei Zhenyi can't go fast, he doesn't even know how long and how far he has walked, he has entered a strange and uncertain state - it is like entering the law to look back on his life process, and at the same time fighting against the law. Mei Zhenyi didn't know it himself, but Zhiyan could see it clearly, eighteen miles away, and he walked for seven days.

Suddenly, the entangled thousands of thoughts disappeared, and the humming sound disappeared behind him. Mei Zhenyi realized that he had walked out of the abyss. His feeling is not that he has completed a road, but that he has walked several lives and lives, and he has comprehended all kinds of mental entanglements that he can encounter and think of in the world, and he has almost been stripped of his body, but in the end his spiritual platform has not been submerged.

What are the gains and losses, and what are the understandings? Just as a person drinks water, he knows his own warmth and coldness.

When everything has passed, the spirit platform is unprecedentedly hearty and clear. It seems that out of the abyss is an incomparably clear "me". If it is said that the truth of breaking through delusion is that the inside and outside of the body and mind are the same, and the realm of cultivation is not lost, then after going through the sea of suffering, the body and mind have undergone a thorough purification, and the state of mind is not lost and the consciousness is immortal.

However, the abyss is a road up the mountain, and the further you go, the higher the terrain becomes. After passing through, it is equivalent to walking out of the canyon and coming to the bottom of the mountain of Poison Tongue Ridge. The huge poisonous tongue ridge is like a tongue piercing the sky, but there is a gentle slope under the mountainside, and there is a temple on the slope. The temple is not big, but the gate is not small, and the gate occupies almost half of the entire front gable. The threshold is more than a foot high, and there is a plaque hanging on the lintel with three big characters written on it - Phantom Temple.

On the threshold sat a little monk, with a long round head and round head, a face white and pink, only five or six years old, holding a one-foot-high golden vase. In the vase is a blooming red plum blossom. He was blinking his big black eyes, with a look of curiosity, and looked at Mei Zhenyi who walked up the mountain with a smile.

Although he had never seen this little monk, looking at his expression and posture, Mei Zhenyi always felt a little familiar, and remembered another little monk, Fa Zhou, who met outside Luoyang City. But this monk is also too young, only five or six years old. It's cute and quirky to be here.

Mei Zhenyi didn't dare to have the slightest contempt. He straightened his clothes and saluted, "Excuse me, are you the Master of Watch?"

"You don't have to call me Master. I am the watchman monk. The little monk heard Mei Zhenyi speak, promised to put down the golden bottle of Mei, jumped high happily, and then laughed: "Great, great, you are finally here!" He jumped in front of him, stretched out his hand upwards and patted Mei Zhenyi's shoulder vigorously, like an old friend who had not seen him for many years.

Mei Zhenyi was startled, and quickly turned to the side and asked, "Watch, do you know me?"

Shou looked at the little round bald head: "I don't know! May I ask who you are?"

Mei Zhenyi couldn't cry or laugh: "I am Mei Zhenyi, a monk in the world, and I came to Longkong Mountain to collect medicine. Why are you so happy to see me since you don't know me?"

As soon as Shouwang pulled his sleeve, an invisible force tolerated it, Mei Zhenyi was involuntarily pulled by Shouwang, sat down on the threshold of the Illusion Temple, and listened to Shouwang say excitedly: "I have been watching here for more than 1,600 years, and in the past 300 years, you are the only monk who has walked through the sea of suffering. ”

Mei Zhenyi asked puzzledly: "Since no one has come for more than 300 years, why do you have to wait here? ”

The little monk who was still happy just now suddenly sighed like a little adult: "Alas, Lord Mei Shi doesn't know, I made a grand wish 1,638 years ago to cross the sea of suffering for thousands of people here, and this Nai He Yuan was opened up by me. At the beginning, there were a lot of people who came, and many people walked through the sea of suffering, but then there were fewer and fewer people, and no one came for more than 300 years. It's been a great day! You've walked through the abyss. ”

Mei Zhenyi was stunned and asked, "Excuse me, how many am I?"

Shouwang smiled again: "If there are too many people who can't walk and re-enter reincarnation, it won't be counted, just say that there are already nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people who have come over, and you happen to be the 10,000th!"

Mei Zhenyi was taken aback again, and arched his hand: "That's really a coincidence, congratulations to the master...... But I have a question, these 10,000 people, including me, are not crossed by you, even if 100,000 people come over, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you?"
