Staring at the shattered pottery shard, this slightly drunken young man suddenly started to be stunned.

The little girl who swept down the pottery bowl, when she saw Xingyan's reaction, immediately became full of panic:

"Brother, are you angry?...... It's all to blame Qiong Wei for being clumsy and breaking her brother's beloved. ”

Qiong Wei felt sorry for herself on the side, and there were tears in her eyes, and she squatted down as she spoke, picking up the pottery pieces one by one.

Although Qiong Wei was talking, Xingyan seemed to be deaf, and he was only there in a daze. It wasn't until Qiong Wei squatted down to pick it up, blocking his view, that he suddenly came back to his senses. And now this little sister Qiong Wei is actually crying, and she wants to cry - Xingyan panicked all of a sudden, and quickly squatted down to pick up the broken bowl with her, and comforted this sad little girl:

"Heh~ This pottery bowl is just an ordinary bowl, where will it be my brother's favorite thing, it's not a pity to break it!"

"Oh, why is my brother angry with Qiong Wei?"

"Ahem, that's because-uh! I'm not angry at all! It's just that my brother suddenly thought of a very headache. ”

It turned out that since this young man entered this Luofu Mountain, he often studied Taoist classics. On that full moon night, he was ignited by the strange sword again, and knew the method of extracting the primordial spirit of heaven and earth, and since then, he has gradually become quite interested in this path of cultivation. At that time of boredom, Xingyan will also ponder those Taoist scriptures. Before Qiong Wei came to this Thousand Bird Cliff, he would often think about some things that others took for granted, to pass the time, or to help him sleep.

Although these days, with Qiong Wei, an innocent and lovely little girl, by his side, the quiet and quiet words on the Thousand Bird Cliff no longer seem so boring, but his mind of studying Taoist scriptures has never let go.

Just now, it was this fragment of a clay bowl that shattered all over the place that violently touched Xingyan's mind, making this young man who had learned the method of "refining gods and turning voids" and felt that the way of heaven was not unpredictable, and suddenly became dumbfounded.

"Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Zhenjing" and many other Taoist classics, all say that the origin of heaven and earth is chaos, "there are things mixed, born from nature", "chaotic if it is turbid", "chaotic, like a baby without a child", the origin of all things in heaven and earth is the scattered and impermanence that has no righteous laws to follow. And these scattered fragments just now suddenly made Xingyan realize:

Everything in this world seems to be thriving and orderly, but it is moving in the direction of chaos and disintegration.

The pottery bowl falls to the ground and is shattered, the grass and trees are soft and withered when they die, the life of a hundred years is all dust, and even if it seems to be an eternal mountain and river, it will inevitably be a vicissitude of life. It seems that the creatures in this world have only one final ending, which is to return to the origin of heaven and earth, and return to the chaos of silence and destruction.

Although the sages had the spirit of "thinking about working in tens of thousands, and being in the universe", the truth of this universe is:

Growth and conception are not the direction of the universe, but extinction, chaos, and death are the eternal ......

If this is the case, then the Taoists in the world now, who have been diligently pursuing "longevity and long-term vision" for thousands of years, are not just the fate of the wood seeking fish, all of which are nonsense?

Fang Cai, the moment of distraction at the moment of awakening, was not because he was frustrated that he could not cultivate the Tao and live forever, but from this scattered fragment, he suddenly discovered that the Taoist who was very popular in the world was probably pursuing nothing that could never be realized.

At that time, his idea was too shocking, so he suddenly stood on the spot just now, and he was stunned!

Now, the little girl squatting beside him, after listening to the persuasion, knew that her brother was not angry, and had already burst into tears, but she also forgot to ask why this brother was in a daze. And the young man beside her, who had just gone through a big mess in his heart, said to himself while picking up the fragments of the pottery bowl:

"Alas, it turns out that this pottery bowl is easy to break into pieces, but it can't be restored into a pottery bowl by itself!"

"Hey~ That's natural! Why did my brother become stupid today?"

How could this simple-minded little girl know that she, the awakening brother, had just set off a storm in her heart!

However, hearing Qiong Wei's words that were just like a new bird's cry, Xingyan was really relieved, and said with a smile:

"Ha~ that's what my sister said. There is nothing in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, just let it be. Why think so much!"

"Hmm!"

This turmoil, which was not a storm, ended with such a simple nasal voice of the little girl.

Now, Qiong Wei is busy with the most important task of her day: washing the stone flat with water before the sun goes down. First, it can wash away the leaves and dust on the stone lawn, and second, it can also eliminate the scorching heat on the stone lawn in the middle of summer. In this way, the hall master's brother can have a cool and clean place at night, so that he can concentrate on inhaling the colored light in the sky!

Speaking of which, the colorless aura of heaven and earth in Xingyan's eyes, in the eyes of Xiao Qiong Wei, was reflected in a stream of distorted and brilliant light flowing all over the sky. It seems that this little girl turned into a strange beast really can't be treated with common sense.

Of course, her attentive cousin brother told her not to tell anyone about this. And this Qiong Wei knew that what she saw was different from what her brother saw, but she was sad for a while, feeling that because she was a monster, she had such a difference, and in her little little eyes, she only felt so sad. As a result, in order to coax her to burst into laughter, it took a long time for the teenager to spend a long time - this period of getting along with Qiong Wei, and the eloquence of awakening words has been greatly improved!

Now, the clever little girl, looking around, saw that there was no one else, so she started the trick of the streets of Luoyang a few days ago, suddenly summoned a ball of clear water from mid-air, and then smashed it on the stone floor with a bang, and this cool water overflowed everywhere.

When Qiong Wei was cleaning the stone floor, Xing Yan stood next to the cold spring, watching the clear water overflow the stone flat that was sunburned with white light.

Looking at the flowing clear water, the young man couldn't help but sigh again in his heart:

"Alas, just look at the water, and always tend to the undetermined line!"

Looking back at the cold spring, the round droplets of water condensed by the water vapor between the rocks were dripping down from the tips of the inverted stalagmites, crushing on the smooth bluestone underneath, splashing crystal water in all directions.

It is the feeling in the heart that touches the eyes. Now in Xingyan's mind, there is always the thought that everything is in chaos, looking at everything in front of him, he follows this reasoning.

When the young man sighed in his heart, he suddenly felt a cold air in front of him, and then he saw that on the stalagmite in front of him, the water droplet that was about to fall leisurely and leisurely was suddenly frozen, and it was stuck there, like the tears of the merman, it had condensed into a crystal clear ice bead!

"Huh?"

When I looked back, it was the little girl who was making a grimace at herself, and grinned:

"When I saw my brother in a daze, I came to scare you!"

It turned out that Qiong Wei had just cast the Freezing Technique. understood the reason, and Xingyan didn't care. Looking back at the appearance of this crystal Xiaoice bead that seems to be dripping and not dripping, I think it is very interesting.

Suddenly, this originally leisurely young man suddenly turned around, grabbed Qiong Wei, who was laughing there, and shouted excitedly:

"I got it!~I got it!~~"

Suddenly, seeing my brother's crazy appearance, this petite girl who was being shaken couldn't help but be shaken, didn't care about the pain in her shoulders, and only asked there in a loud voice:

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the hall master's brother seemed to be a little strange since he had broken a pottery bowl by himself, and now seeing him like this again, Qiong Wei was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked urgently.

"Ugh!"

This young man who was happy and carried away heard the girl's series of urgent questions, and then he came to his senses, quickly let go of his hands, apologized to Qiong Wei, and explained the reason for the gaffe.

It turns out that this thing really originated from and benefited from Qiong Wei. When I first saw the broken pottery bowl, I was worried that the man was poor and everything would always return to chaos;

In an instant, it was as if the dark clouds of thousands of miles had all dissipated, and the sky was full of stars and moons!

This is exactly what the young man thinks now: Since the water droplets can drop into scattered splashes of water, or they can condense into stagnant ice beads, in this case, should the pure chaos, which has always been regarded as the mother of heaven and earth and the origin of all things, also have a corresponding opposite? In other words, if "chaos" is positive, is there also a "negative" chaos? If "chaos" is yang, should there be a "yin" chaos?

As the so-called blessing to the soul, it is natural to wake up now, thinking of the problems that have been bothering me these days:

"What is the aura of heaven and earth? What is Yue Jinghua? What is your own refining of gods and transformation of void?"

Now, he thinks he's got the answer:

The aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the moon, and the "immortal qi" that Taoists believe are the negative "chaos" and the "chaos" of yin! And the refining of gods and the transformation of the void is to refine the negative chaos that fills the heavens and the earth into a negative chaos that can exist in one's own body and can be used for oneself -- that is, the "Taihua Dao power"!

Now, a series of thoughts flashed in the young man's mind like a marquee:

"The mother of heaven and earth, the origin of all things, why must it only be a single chaos? Maybe that one positive and one negative, one yin and one yang, is the complete origin of heaven and earth!"

"Perhaps, there is no need to be confined to the number of the original heaven and earth - the Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things - it doesn't matter if one is two, the real origin is still the 'Tao' that runs through heaven and earth!"

"Although that life will end in the end, why can my living beings still exist in the world? The original reason for this should be that before the end of that life, all living beings in the world are constantly ingesting that negative chaos! Whether it is a thousand-year-old Tsubaki or that fleeting mayfly, it is because of ingesting that negative chaos that they can survive in the world!"

"The glory and withering of plants and trees is the method of chaos for plants and trees to ingest negative, the drinking and pecking of people at the time is the method of chaos for our generation to ingest negative, and the nirvana of the phoenix is the method of chaos for fairy birds to ingest negative chaos. And the sects of cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism in the world, the origin of which is to find the method of absorbing the chaos of negatives, transcending life and death, and turning life into a thousand years and ten thousand years!"

Now in the awakening platform, there is unprecedented clarity and emptiness:

"Now I finally understand that the original 'refining the gods and turning the void' emphasized 'having the heart and doing nothing' is not only the method of summoning the 'Taihua Dao power', but also the supreme principle of the world's cultivation. If we stop doing nothing, we will at most slow down the arrival of chaos, and we can't really 'do nothing'. Quiet and inactive, you can only maintain health, and you can't live forever. ”

"Only by following that 'mind and inaction' and actively refining that 'negative chaos' can it really be possible to reach the highest state pursued by my sect: longevity and long-term vision!"

......

"Huh?!"

But when he said that he was waking up and contemplating and was excited about his discovery, he suddenly felt a dark light disappearing in front of his eyes--this young man, who was immersed in contemplating the righteousness of heaven and earth, was suddenly shocked and cried out:

"It's not good! Could it be that if I really understand the way of heaven, I will not tolerate it for God, and I will destroy me by heaven's curse?!"

In a panic, I quickly opened my eyes and saw that the little girl was stretching out a little hand like fat jade, shaking in front of her eyelids!

Before he could speak, he saw this Qiong Wei and said:

"Huh, but my brother isn't asleep?"

“......”

"Alas~ is the so-called 'Tao is the way, the very way', and the Tao is speechless - the really powerful way of heaven, how can I be enlightened casually? he~ Why worry about what kind of curse!"

It's just that after withstanding the ups and downs of the ideological trend for less than half an hour, it has strengthened his determination to persist in refining the Heavenly Earth Yuan Spirit every night!

The words on the Thousand Bird Cliff passed without panic. It seems that the years in the mountains will continue uneventfully like this. Until one day, when the master of the Four Seas Hall went down the mountain to inspect the Shangqing Palace, he heard the peasants say that at the foot of Luofu Mountain, where the Shangqing Palace is located, there have been snake demons recently!
