The surface of the lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the leisurely white clouds in the sky.
Heavy mist rolls on the lake,
The endless lake is connected to the sky.
The water and sky are the same color, and the smoke is vast.
On a pier by the lake, four Taoist priests of the Xuan generation and Ji Yun, the headmaster of Maoshan, carefully placed a huge paper boat made of yellow talisman paper into the lake.
There are also paper ‘cables’ attached to the paper boat.
Xuan Zhao hung the cable on the pile beside the dock and turned to look at Su Wu, who was surrounded by a group of people.
The group of Taoists were busy explaining something to Su Wu.
Even the Grand Master, who has always been averse to words, joined in: "You are quite talented, and you have understood the 'body is stiff but the mind is not stiff' in the first reincarnation of the 'Demon Body Planting Dafa', and 'the blood is like mercury. Like Dan Huo', it shouldn't be a difficult thing for you.
Especially when you have the specific experience imparted by Zhongzu.
However, are you really not sure that you will get familiar with it and master those two states before you take a paper boat to the Peach Blossom Land?
Pindao still thinks it would be better to wait until he is familiar with it before trying to enter the Peach Blossom Spring.
After all, even if you succeed in a lucky attempt and enter the Peach Blossom Spring, you still don’t know what is going on inside - you will still have to sail out of it by boat. If you are not skilled enough, I am afraid it will be easy to get in, but you will not be able to get out."
"It doesn't matter."
After hearing the warning from the master, Su Wu smiled and shook his head.
The sun from the sky shines on him,
The climate here was particularly comfortable, making him feel relaxed and happy.
He said to Grandmaster Maoshan: "Since this disciple has decided to try to step into the Peach Blossom Spring now, he naturally has a certain degree of confidence in the matter, but it is impossible to let it go.
Grandmaster, all teachers can rest assured."
Su Wu insisted on this, and the Maoshan shamans and Taoists stopped trying to persuade him.
Xuan Qing nodded and said: "Then you go and come back as soon as possible. Just do what the ancestor tells you to do, and don't delay on the road - when you come back, you have to pay your respects to us!"
"..."
After hearing Xuan Qing's words, all the Taoists did not want to say any more.
——All the Taoists present today have integrated the various tribulation bodies of the Central Ancestor. If they want to completely digest the tribulation bodies of the Central Ancestor and truly live out the 'second life', all the Taoists can only cultivate the demon body again. Dafa 'buries' itself, and when it leaves the tomb on a certain day, it will be the day when it successfully lives out the second life - the Taoism itself has accumulated some, and also has the Zhongzu Jie body to get along with it.
For them, the first level of cultivating the demon body and cultivating the Tao is no longer difficult and dangerous.
"I understand." Su Wu's expression remained as usual. He turned to look at the paper boat at the pier, then turned back and bowed to everyone, "Disciple, I'll take my leave for now.
Within today, we will definitely turn back."
"good!"
"Go back quickly!"
"Be careful in everything and don't create any complications!"
"We will wait for you by the lake..."
Su Wu responded to the group's instructions one by one, and while all the teachers waved goodbye, he stepped onto the paper boat by the pier alone - strangely enough, his weight was far beyond what a paper boat could carry. Although the paper boat is made of stacked talisman paper, there are no talismans drawn on the talisman paper, so there is nothing magical about it.
During the time we stayed at the river, the bottom of the paper boat was already wet.
After Su Wu stepped into the paper boat, the paper boat did not sink any further into the water.
His body was now so light that he seemed to be less than a leaf.
After untying the 'cable' from the wooden stake, Su Wu waved to the Maoshan Wuqun Taoist, and followed the paper boat down the river, heading towards the hazy mist on the lake. The young Taoist who was independent on the 'bow' also followed the trend.
He lay down flat in the boat and closed his eyes.
The clothes on his back were gradually soaked by the lake water seeping from the bottom of the paper boat.
The paper boat rushed into the mist with the wind.
Su Wu, who was lying on the boat, the moment he closed his eyes, he had already executed the two secret mantras of 'Kalachakra Silence Mantra' and 'Kalachakra Wrath Mantra', allowing his mind to enter the Kalachakra Mandala.
Within the obvious point,
That 'bright spot' stayed between his eyebrows.
The Kalachakra Mandala gathered all his "intentions", so that the flesh shell was not dominated by the intention, and gradually fell into a state of "rigor mortis".
At this moment, the bright spots that stayed between Su Wu's brows slowly began to flow, exuding infinite vitality, causing the blood all over Su Wu's body to begin to flow, and his heart to begin to beat weakly.
The first level of the Demonic Body Seed Dao Dafa, 'the body is stiff but the mind is not stiff', and the 'blood is like mercury slurry and the mind is like elixir fire', was easily refined by Su Wu in this instant, and there was no dragon vein flowing around it.
, otherwise the blood and energy in his body will surge together with the dragon veins, and he will truly begin to practice the magic of demon body cultivation!
And as he easily stepped into the state of 'like life and like death',
The stern of the yellow paper boat he was lying on started to erupt with clusters of dark green flames. The clusters of golden red flames spread from the stern of the boat to the hull, covering the entire boat in the dark green flames.
The green flame burned for a while and then extinguished.
And on the vast lake, amidst the mist, a wooden, gray-black boat sailed out leisurely.
Su Wu, who was originally lying on the boat, was now sitting on the bow.
The scene he saw was completely different from the quiet lake before.
——At this moment, the 'boat' driven by Su Wu was traveling in a small river. The plains on both sides of the river were dotted with tombs. The tombs were neatly arranged on both sides like steamed buns. The tombstones in front of the tombs were shaped like
Exactly the same.
Only some of the words on the tombstone can still be distinguished.
Some are completely invisible.
The tombstones exuded a soaring cold air, and the billowing cold air gathered and covered the river where Su Wu was traveling. Su Wu only glanced at the surrounding tombstones and graves, and saw the offerings in front of the tombstones.
The three animal sacrifices, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and kept circulating around his body, making himself in a state of "like life and death",
This moment suddenly transferred to the center of the eyebrows, and then left the body little by little from the center of the eyebrows——
The vigorous vitality emanating from the 'Ming Point' no longer soaked into the flesh and blood of Su Wu's body. The blood in his body gradually stopped flowing. The vitality in his body began to continue to drain away, and his whole person's condition took a turn for the worse!
Even so, he remained unmoved and focused on driving the bright point between his eyebrows to slowly escape from the body.
As the bright spot floated outside the body, the vitality in Su Wu's body also fell again and again!
In Su Wu's eyes, the tombs were neatly arranged on both sides of the river, and the scene of the gathering of yin energy gradually changed - some peach trees seemed to have descended from another time and space, gradually overlapping with the tombs on the river bank.
.
It's like two dimensions were superimposed in one place,
When Su Wu's vitality fell to a very low level, to the extreme,
The colorful peach blossoms finally filled his field of vision,
The brilliant peach blossoms were fluttering their petals in the wind. What Su Wu saw in his eyes was an endless peach forest. Where were the gloomy tombs like before?
The bright point that was about to leave the center of his eyebrows returned to the center of his eyebrows in an instant and circulated in his body again.
He swung the oar, and the wooden oar stirred the stream. The stream rippled, and the peach petals danced and swirled in the water.
There are hundreds of steps along the bank between peach groves. There are no stray trees in the middle. The grass is delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful.
Su Wu swings the oar,
Down the stream,
After passing through the entire peach forest, you will see a high mountain lying across the road ahead.
Su Wu jumped off the boat and put a charm on it. Su Wu let the boat float down the river and walked along the stream bank into the deep cave under the high mountain.
The entrance to the cave is quite narrow and can only accommodate one person.
The further you go in, the wider the corridor becomes.
After walking dozens of steps, Su Wu passed through the entire mountain, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
Large areas of farmland appear in the field of view,
The streets are crisscrossed.
There are village houses and courtyards scattered on the plain land, with mulberry and bamboo dotted between the houses and courtyards, and chickens and dogs hearing each other.
In the fields, young people are working in the fields, while old people are sitting on the ridges of the fields to rest.
Regardless of the clothing of men, women, old or young,
They are all the same as the clothes worn by people outside during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Su Wu's eyes lingered on the clothes of the person here for a moment, his eyes shrank slightly, his expression was calm as usual, and when he looked back, he could no longer see the mountain behind him, only the vast peach forest blocking him behind him, and the peach blossoms fluttering in the wind.
"Young man, where do you come from?"
At this time, an old man leaning on a cane and hunched over his back, surrounded by a group of children, walked up to Su Wu and asked him kindly.
The old man was extremely old and had deep wrinkles on his face.
But the hair on his head was all pale yellow, except for the tips that were slightly white.
White hair turns yellow and new teeth appear, which are signs of longevity.
Facing the old man's kind gaze, Su Wu bowed slightly and responded politely: "The boy is originally from the village, but when he was playing in the village a few years ago, he accidentally fell into the river and drifted along the river to the outside. He was unknown to others.
save.
I have only had to pay it back in recent years.”
Su Wu kept in mind the teachings of the Patriarch, and in the current "Peach Blossom Spring", everything should be done according to the instructions of the Patriarch, without any deviation.
The current 'Peach Blossom Spring Village' seems peaceful and peaceful, but in fact it is a place that is surrounded by evil and is no longer in the real world.
With the identity of 'Taoyuan Villager' as a cover, you will rarely encounter danger when acting in this village surrounded by treachery. On the contrary, if you enter the village as an 'outsider', you may be invisibly affected by the villagers here.
Under surveillance, if things go on like this, once something is revealed, they will either die silently in Taoyuan Village, or they will stay in the village forever and become a true 'Taoyuan Villager'.
“Ah, you turn out to be from our village?
Did you slip and fall into the water earlier and drifted down the river outside? Let me think about it..." The yellow-haired old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then pointed at Su Wu and asked, "Is your name Wang Erniu?"
Su Wu's mind suddenly flashed back to the tombstones he had seen on both sides of the river before he sailed into Taoyuan Village.
Most of the words engraved on the tombstones on both sides of the river are illegible.
But there are still a few traces that are vaguely visible.
Among the tombstones whose writings can be read, there is indeed a drowned man named "Wang Erniu".
But Su Wu shook his head: "You remember wrong, Mr. Han, I am not Wang Erniu, I am Zhang Wazi. My home is at the three peach trees in the west of our village."
——Although Wang Erniu also drowned, it was clearly written on his tombstone that this person was female and was in his forties.
