Chapter Seventy-Five: The Body Is Like a Bottomless Pit
Chapter Seventy-Five: The Body is Like a Bottomless Pit
After Ye Fan had dinner, he continued to comprehend the Tao Sutra, and throughout the night he was immersed in a mysterious and mysterious state, the golden sea of bitterness exhaled and distributed, out of nothingness, the stars were shining, chaotic and misty, and ever-changing.
It wasn't until the second day that he woke up from this state, without any fatigue, and the life essence in the sea of bitterness overflowed, making him feel refreshed.
"Big brother eats early and late...... Xiao Tingting jumped over and called him to eat, with a happy smile on her little face. Although the clothes on her body were ill-fitting and shabby, with many patches, it was difficult to hide the unique brilliance of her brilliant childlike face.
Ye Fan sighed for a while, a child is a child, he experienced such a tragic thing yesterday, suffered so much grievance, and cried so sadly, but when he woke up, he was no longer sad, and soon forgot all the unpleasantness.
"Is Tingting happy?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Tingting nodded seriously and said, "Now that there is food, grandpa doesn't have to be reluctant to eat, keep it for me, of course Tingting is happy." ”
Ye Fan was stunned, it turned out that some people's happiness was so simple, and being able to eat enough made Xiao Tingting so satisfied, compared to those who tried their best to compete for fame and fortune, this standard was too low, perhaps it was precisely because of this simple happiness that such pure truth, goodness and beauty were produced.
Seeing her red little face full of smiles, so brilliant, Ye Fan was deeply infected, touched her head dotingly, and then pulled her out of the house together.
When it was close to noon, the yellow-faced middle-aged man of the Li family came again, and when he saw that the small restaurant was closed, he kicked a few hard, cursed, and said, "Open the door, the uncle has come to eat......
Inside the shop, Tingting was very nervous, her big eyes were full of fear, and she leaned tightly into the old man's arms, for fear that those people would break in. Uncle Jiang gently patted her back and whispered comfort.
Ye Fan stood in the room, listening to those ugly insults, he gradually frowned, and his eyes became colder and colder.
"Okay, old man Jiang, if you don't do business, just wait to starve to death, you're seventy or eighty, I see what else you can do!"
The people outside cursed, smashed the two pots of flowers and plants outside the door heavily, and then used a dagger to scratch the door for a while, making it unshapely, and then walked away.
"Grandpa......" It wasn't until a long time ago that Xiao Tingting said timidly: "Will those bad guys come tomorrow?"
"It's okay, Tingting, don't be afraid, grandpa won't let them hurt you. The old man kept reassuring her.
Tingting whispered: "Those bad people do evil every day, why don't there be good people to rectify them?"
Ye Fan felt that the words of children in this world were indeed the truest, and there were many unfair things, but it was impossible for anyone to take care of them.
"Tingting rest assured, they will definitely not come tomorrow. Ye Fan squatted down and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to dinner, I'll cook you a good dish at noon today." ”
"Big brother, can you cook?" Xiao Tingting's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Look at me, I'll show you a hand today, I'm sure you've never eaten before. ”
The little girl flashed her eyes, not believing it at all, and said: "I don't believe it, grandpa can cook anything, in the past, when we still had a restaurant, grandpa cooked food for me every day." ”
"Sweet and sour pork ribs, have you ever eaten them?" Although it is a very ordinary dish in his hometown, Ye Fan believes that it should not have appeared here.
Sure enough, Xiao Tingting showed a confused look and said, "How can sugar be put together with pork ribs?" Even the old man next to him was full of puzzlement.
In the end, Ye Fan could only talk on paper, his cooking skills were really terrible, but after the old man knew the method, he took matters into his own hands and finally brought the sweet and sour roe deer ribs to the table perfectly, this meal made Xiao Tingting eat extremely sweet, full of happy smiles.
Ye Fan liked this harmonious and joyful atmosphere very much, which made him feel at home, and vaguely allowed him to find a kind of sustenance.
After lunch, the old man asked Xiao Tingting to take a nap, he made a pot of coarse tea, brought it to the smooth Eight Immortals table, and asked Ye Fan: "Child, do you want to do anything, don't be impulsive......"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry, there won't be any problems." Actually, anyone can do it with a bad guy, it's just a matter of whether they want to do it or not. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"If you really want to think about it, it's not difficult to hurt people, and I have a hundred ways to get revenge on them. However, there is no need to do that, just use the simplest means, I will let them take care of themselves, and there is no way to make trouble again. Later, when you have time, you can clean them up properly. ”
Ye Fan left the town directly this afternoon, he didn't want to make careful calculations against the Li family, as long as those few people who were cultivating outside didn't come back, there was no need to do this.
He had already figured out that the Li family had to go to the county seat every month to purchase food and goods, and they almost monopolized half of the business in the town, and tomorrow was the day to go to the county seat to purchase. The yellow-faced middle-aged man is a steward of the Li family, and he is usually in charge of this matter.
The county seat is seventy or eighty miles away from the town, much more prosperous than the town, with a population of tens of thousands, and the streets are lined with shops, and the sound of selling and selling is endless. This distance was not a problem at all for Ye Fan, whose physique was far beyond ordinary people, but in an hour, he arrived easily. After exchanging a few prey caught in the mountains and forests into coins, he bought a lot of candy and snacks for Xiao Tingting, and then bought a few small clothes and shoes for her, and then he bought a lot of other things.
It wasn't until it was getting late that he walked back, and the main purpose of coming out today was to check the road between the town and the county, and to see where it was desolate and secluded.
Ye Fan didn't come back until the time when he was holding the lamp, and seeing that he was safe and sound, the old man's hanging heart finally let go. Xiao Tingting was very happy and excited, holding the beautiful little clothes, her face was full of happy smiles. Opening the paper packets containing candy and snacks, she first stuffed the delicious food into the mouths of the old man and Ye Fan, and then she ate it happily.
"Why doesn't Tingting change her clothes?" Ye Fan asked her.
"I'm going to wait until later, Tingting's current clothes can still be worn. She carefully wrapped up her new clothes.
Looking at the shabby little clothes that were mended and sewn and sewn on her body, Ye Fan sighed a little, the children of poor families made people feel a little sad, they were so sensible at such a young age, although they were inadvertent words, but it made him a little difficult to calm down.
"Don't worry, Tingting will have new clothes to wear every day in the future, go and change it." Ye Fan felt that a cute little girl like Tingting, and a kind old man like Uncle Jiang, if she was bullied again, it would be really unreasonable.
This night, Ye Fan continued to comprehend the Tao Sutra, and he found that when he held the Bodhi Seed in his hand, his heart would be extremely ethereal, and his understanding of the Tao Sutra would obviously be much deeper.
"Worthy of the Enlightenment Tree......"
In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Fan left the town and walked through the mountains and forests, and soon detoured to the road leading to the county seat, and there was a mountain road that had to pass through a small canyon.
Ye Fan quickly climbed to the cliff, changed into a black dress here, covered his face, and kicked on a pair of stilts to make himself look like an adult, and then opened all the oil drums that had been prepared here yesterday, waiting for the Li family to come back from purchasing goods.
It wasn't until it was dark that there was a sound of bones on the mountain road, and there were more than a dozen carts, all full of goods, from silk cloth and clothing to daily necessities and grain.
Ye Fan stood up and threw the oil drums down violently, the sound of "bang" kept coming, and more than a dozen carts were all drenched with kerosene, and there was a panic below.
"Oil, it's kerosene, someone is going to set fire to the car!" the Li family shouted, many people fled in panic, and some people were looking for someone to set the fire to it. At this time, someone finally found Ye Fan above the canyon, and saw that he was tall, dressed in black, and the torches in his hands were thrown down one after another.
"Puff Puff"
The raging fire suddenly burned, and more than a dozen carts turned into a sea of fire in an instant, which was impossible to extinguish, and the flames soared into the sky.
"Who are you, you dare to burn the Li family's materials, aren't you afraid of the monk's pursuit?" The yellow-faced middle-aged man shouted in panic, so many materials were destroyed, he had already thought of the terrible fate after going back.
"Bang"
Another small barrel of kerosene was thrown down, almost hitting his body, and was splashed with a lot of oil, and then a firelight fell, and the yellow-faced middle-aged man suddenly screamed, and rushed to the mountain stream in the distance like a desperate person, covered in firelight.
Ye Fan glanced at it, hid his figure above the valley, and then quickly untied his stilts, took off his black clothes, and held these things as if flying away.
This night, Qingfeng Town shook, the Li family suffered heavy losses, more than a dozen carts of supplies were burned to the ground, nothing was left, and seven or eight people were burned.
Throughout the night, the town was difficult to calm down, and the Li family was like crazy, almost going door-to-door looking for clues, which was simply a ground break on Tai Sui's head, a huge loss, which made the Li family angry.
It wasn't until late at night that the town calmed down, the Li family felt that the people of the town did not dare to do this, they did not have that kind of skill and courage, they guessed that it was a distant opponent, the Li family suddenly became nervous, and ordered someone to send a letter to Yanxia Cave overnight.
This night, Ye Fan quietly left the small restaurant and came to the depths of the mountain range, he had to improve his strength as soon as possible. I don't know how many miles I went deep in the mountains and forests, and finally found a stone cave, Ye Fan sealed himself in it with a boulder, and then took out all the elixirs.
The jade snake orchid is as soft as mutton fat jade, overflowing with a refreshing fragrance. The golden tuber left by the ancient wood spirit was shining brightly.
Ye Fan held the Bodhi seed in his hand, meditated and contemplated the "Tao Sutra", until he felt the sea of bitterness vibrating and felt that he could break through, so he took the jade snake orchid.
Half an hour later, although the cave was blocked by boulders, there was still a sound like a wave, and a golden light rushed out, like a tsunami in the sky, and the sound of the waves was endless, rumbling.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that all this calmed down, Ye Fan looked inward, and found that the golden sea of bitterness was more than twice as big, he moved away from the boulder, rushed out of the cave, his body was light and healthy, and his strength and speed increased a lot, and he ran quickly in the mountains and forests like a light smoke.
In the end, he returned to the cave, sealed the entrance of the cave with a boulder again, and without hesitation, he subdued the golden tuber left by the ancient wood spirit, and then held the Bodhi seed in his hand and comprehended the Tao Sutra.
In the second half of the night, a deafening sound erupted in the cave, and the boulders blocking the entrance to the cave suddenly shattered, and the stones shot out in all directions.
Like a volcanic eruption, or like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring out, the cave was full of dazzling light, the tsunami shook the sky, the thunder continued, and Ye Fan's bitter sea turned into a golden ocean, constantly rolling towards the sky.
This situation lasted for a full hour, and the terrifying sound slowly calmed down, the divine light gradually converged, and Ye Fan quickly rushed out. The cave behind him made a "boom" sound and quickly collapsed, and it didn't collapse earlier because the golden light was supporting it.
At this moment, it was close to dawn, and it was not particularly dark in the mountains and forests, Ye Fan felt that his body was full of vitality, and there was a vigorous essence circulating.
The golden sea of bitterness has grown from the size of a soybean grain to the size of a pigeon's egg overnight, and it has become several times larger. He was very surprised, it was all due to the golden tubers left by the ancient wood essence, which was ten times more than the life essence contained in the jade snake orchid, it was really a rare treasure.
Ye Fan's heart was difficult to calm down, he found that his body was like a bottomless pit, there was no need to worry about the medicine being too strong, as long as he could provide enough life essence, he could continue to open up the sea of suffering.
"Could it be that the curse of the Ancient Holy Body has not appeared on me? Or is this a curse, every step forward, a massive amount of life essence is needed, in this way, the path will become narrower and narrower, and it will be difficult to open up the sea of suffering in the later stage......"
If an ordinary person had absorbed so much life essence, I am afraid that they would have already penetrated the sea of suffering, and their bodies would have been shattered.
"If ordinary people absorb all these life essences in a long period of time, the sea of suffering that they open up should be ...... bigger than mine" Ye Fan pondered, his cultivation like this was simply a luxury and profligacy, and he said to himself: "Is it a waste, I don't think so." ”
Because at this time, he found that his sea of bitterness was extraordinarily condensed, although it was only the size of a pigeon's egg, but it contained nineteen "divine patterns", with extremely vigorous vitality.
"When the eggs of ordinary people's bitter sea pigeons are large, I am afraid it is difficult to condense the 'divine pattern', but my golden bitter sea has done it early. Ye Fan didn't feel extravagant, but had a sense of accomplishment, and his golden sea of bitterness was different.
"Whoop"
Ye Fan flicked his ten fingers, and suddenly more than a dozen "divine patterns" shot out, like a brilliant sword, piercing all the mountains and rocks in front of him.
"Open up the same great sea of suffering, and the divine power I possess will be many times stronger than others. This made Ye Fan's thoughts fluctuate.
"However, if I want to succeed in cultivating with a physique of mine, I need a massive amount of life essence as a backing. He couldn't help but frown at the thought of this question.
"However, it is not limited to the elixir, if you can find the 'source' that Elder Wu Qingfeng said, and cultivate in a treasure land with extremely strong spiritual energy, you should be able to break through. ”
According to ancient records, in the era when heaven and earth were combined to give birth to all things, chaos and fog, aura was dense, and many spiritual objects could absorb the origin essence of heaven and earth, and produce amber-like crystals, which were sealed with a huge amount of life essence.
What has been preserved to the present day is called "source", which is extremely precious to monks, and some of the best "sources" can be called priceless.
From the time when all things were born to the primeval flood years, the essence of the origin of heaven and earth gradually thinned, and it was difficult for spiritual objects to produce a "source".
However, in the last glorious period, all things flourished, living beings were powerful, and there were many elixirs, so many rare "divine sources" were produced. Later generations have found that amber-like crystalline stones are sealed with living creatures, and such a "divine source" can provide endless life essence after being mined.
"It was a time to look forward to......"
