Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Changes in the Dream
Spring is suitable for reading, when warblers are flying and grass is growing, there is still the fragrance of green grass without the fragrance of flowers, and there is no sadness like the drizzle in late autumn.
However, when Yelu Mingzhu followed the old monk and led Lan Feiyan across the grassland.
Watson, however, had already fallen asleep in a cave in the Yin Mountains.
Yesterday we drove all the way to Yinshan Mountain, released the horses at the foot of the mountain, hiked up, and found a cave to spend the night very late.
Thinking that I didn't have to rush, I woke up early in the morning and just stayed in bed and took a long nap.
With Master Hu Ge absent, Watson finally tasted the joy of letting go.
It was only after half an hour that I got up and walked out of the cave, feeling lazy but full of life.
After yawning, he went to the mountain spring to fetch water and wash himself, then he grabbed a tree branch and started a fire to cook porridge, because the consciousness he released told him that the surroundings were very quiet now.
Except for the occasional passing wild beast, there was no sign of a bandit. He decided to stay here for a while longer, or even rest for one or two days.
Because the wound on his back has not completely healed, it is not the right time to fight with others.
The mountain breeze blew slowly, and for Watson, it was a wise decision to leave yesterday.
Otherwise, if the little princess of the Lan family's court gets involved, she might cause trouble on Feixian Island in the South China Sea.
But right now, he just wants to experience something on Yinshan Mountain, and then wait for Xiao Hei to come to him and decide whether to return to Nanyun City and face the war with Nalan Yu.
On this day, Watson did not dare to go far. He only walked around in a circle, shot two pheasants, and then returned to the outside of the cave.
Because of the wound on his back, he did not continue his daily practice and did not even take out his bamboo sword.
But unknowingly, he fell to the ground and recited the "Ksitigarbha Sutra". This matter was originally forced on him by Brother Hu because of the scriptures on the stone walls of Tianshan Mountain.
When Watson first came to Tianshan, he was just like Li Xiuyuan back then. He only wanted to cultivate his own sword spirit, so he carved scriptures on stone slabs and everywhere in the cave.
After ten years of cultivation on the Tianshan Mountains, every scripture has been imprinted on the divine sea and on every piece of my own bone marrow.
As long as Watson calms down now, scriptures will flow from every inch of his flesh and blood, just like breathing.
Unlike his godfather, Watson did not spend much time in the monastery. Most of the time he was either following his master or accompanying Li Xiuyuan on Tianshan Mountain.
The master didn't understand the principles of Buddhism, but his godfather took the trouble to explain it to him again and again. As he grew older, he gradually understood some of the principles of Buddhism.
That night, lying on the stone slab in the cave, Watson had a dream.
I dreamed that I was back in the small town, as if I was back in the year when the bandits invaded.
His consciousness was also a little blurry. He felt that it was a snowy day, and his father and master fell under the knife of the bandits. Seeing that Sister Hong, his mother, his younger brother, and his younger sister were about to be harmed.
The world between heaven and earth blurred before his eyes, and he seemed to be unable to control his breathing rhythm at this moment.
There is a flame burning in the body, like a stream in the mountains rushing towards the river.
Then he roared, and a blazing flame rushed out from his eyes, sweeping towards his mother and the bandits in front of Sister Hong.
Before he could clearly see the color of the flames, he heard a buzzing sound and his whole body seemed to have fallen into the cold ice and snow.
But he arrived at Tianshan Mountain, following behind the master blacksmith. The master and the apprentice were rubbing scriptures on the stone wall.
Hu Ge handed him the rubbed scriptures and said seriously: "When your godfather was six years old, he carved these scriptures here with an iron sword."
So Watson squatted on the stone slabs in front and behind the wooden house, and used the iron sword in his hand to carve crooked scriptures on the stone slabs over and over again.
From the beginning, I was breathing heavily and panting desperately, but later I was able to breathe steadily while carving, and my hands holding the iron sword no longer trembled.
The scene flashed back to the Apricot Blossom Valley again.
Watson held the spirit sword that Li Xiuyuan had forged for him and asked in a daze: "Godfather, what is subduing the devil?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said quietly: "The Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows so he is merciful to the six realms. The Vajra has angry eyes so he subdues the four demons. There are demons in the world, so I ask you to subdue the demons and defend the Tao."
I saw a bolt of lightning falling from the sky and hitting the Demon-Conquering Sword, making him yell in fright.
When he opened his eyes again, he followed Hua Luoyu and Ouyang Dongli to the Tianshan Sword Sect, and began to practice a brand new swordsmanship on the ever-changing Tianshan Mountains.
He had a strong feeling that he just wanted to have a good sleep at the moment, even if his heart was floating in the sky, flying through the layers of clouds towards the moon in the nine heavens.
Watson didn't know that because of a life-and-death fight on the grassland, his formless body was fully tempered.
In the dream, his whole body was radiating bright light, and the cave was filled with bursts of Buddha's light. It won't be long before his body is broken.
And Hu Ge told him that if his physical body breaks through another level, the only way he can cultivate is to break through to the ninth level of distraction.
I don’t know how many flowers have fallen in the dream, but at this moment Watson is growing as tenaciously as the grass in spring.
The bursts of Buddha's light lingered for who knows how long, and finally gradually disappeared and submerged into his body.
At this time, the blood in Watson's whole body was like the glaciers gushing out of the ice on the Tianshan Mountains, carrying the power that had been dormant for a whole winter, trying to rush over the mountains and ridges towards the rivers at the bottom of the mountains.
At this moment, every piece of flesh and blood, every bone, and every meridian in Watson's body had been washed by the Buddha's light several times.
The whole person is like a golden sleeping Buddha, like a carefully carved Bodhisattva.
If Xiao Hei were here, he would find that Watson's body seemed to be tightly wrapped in Buddhist scriptures, and the wounds on his back were healing quickly.
This is a transformation between life and death. Although it is not nirvana, it is completely reborn.
It's hard to imagine how powerful Watson could be if his formless body were to break through another level just by relying on the power of his physical body. He might even be able to defeat Yun Zhongchen who was in the middle of the Tribulation.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the cave turned into a whirlpool of spiritual energy and surged into the cave, burrowing into Watson's body one after another.
Tonight is not the night of Watson's breakthrough, but the night of his qualitative transformation in his body and cultivation.
Starting from tonight, it is destined that he will surpass his master Hu Ge and embark on the path of pursuing his godfather Li Xiuyuan.
…
The light is bright tonight, although it does not shine into a cave somewhere in the overcast sun.
But it shines on Yelu Mingzhu who is surrounded by the fire on the grassland under the starry sky, and also shines on Lan Feiyan who is sitting beside her.
The starry sky was like a dream, gathering on Yelu Qingzhu's head, forming a starlight storm, allowing Xiao Hei, who had lost his way in the night sky, to find the girl.
"Quack!" In the sound, Xiaohei was like a black lightning, falling straight down from the sky.
Lan Feiyan was so frightened that she screamed and was speechless while holding Yelu Mingzhu.
A bolt of lightning fell in the night sky. It was either a monster or a tribulation thunder, and both of them were unpleasant.
The old monk sitting opposite the two men shook his head and said nothing. He just took a teacup, filled it up silently, and placed it next to him.
Yelu Mingzhu giggled, touched Xiao Hei's shiny feathers that fell next to her and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao Hei, aren't you with Brother Watson?"
"Quack! I can't find that guy..."
Xiao Hei shook his head, looked at the frightened Lan Feiyan and said with a smile: "Little girl, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
When Lan Feiyan saw it turned out to be a talking crow, she immediately shouted angrily: "You are flying here just fine, why are you scaring me? I am Lan Feiyan, from the Royal Court of the Lan Family..."
Xiao Hei shook his head, turned to look at the old monk and asked, "Senior, I went to Nanyun City, and I won't be able to find that guy Watson when I come back."
The old monk pointed to the side and said: "Come here to drink tea. That little family member went into Yinshan Mountain alone. He must have gone into a cave now. Of course you can't find him."
Yelu Mingzhu cut a piece of barbecue for Xiao Hei and handed it to Xiao Hei, and asked softly: "Uncle Xiao Hei, have you seen my master?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, looked at the girl in front of him and asked: "My brother is in Tianshan, how can I see him?"
"Your master wants to complete his own practice, just like you." The old monk said quietly: "None of you should disturb him until he breaks through."
Xiao Hei didn't feel depressed at all. He looked at the old monk and smiled and said, "Senior, can you help a bunch of Xiao Hei? I want to become like Watson."
The expression on the old monk's face changed again and again. He looked at Xiao Hei and frowned, and said lightly: "Isn't it good for you to look like this now?"
"If I help you, the old Taoist priest will definitely scold me for being troublesome... Think about it, if you change back, you may not be able to fly anymore..."
The old monk squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want to give it a try?"
When Xiao Hei heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, looked at Yelu Mingzhu and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be like this little girl, riding on horseback all day long."
Lan Feiyan was confused by the three people. After thinking about it, she looked at Yelu Mingzhu and said, "Sister, how did this guy come back? Is he a monster?"
Yelu Mingzhu shook his head, looked at Lan Feiyan and replied: "Xiao Hei is Mingzhu's uncle. Master said he can only do this for the time being, and he will become like us in the future."
Lan Feiyan nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It turns out that Uncle Black can only be a crow for the time being."
Xiao Hei was too lazy to pay attention to her, but looked at the old monk and asked: "Senior, should I go with you, or go find that guy Watson tomorrow?"
Lao Shang took a sip of the spiritual tea and said quietly: "Come with us to the Yelu Palace for a walk. Don't disturb Watson's practice for the time being."
Xiao Hei nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen Xiao Mingzhu in a long time."
Yelu Mingzhu thought for a while, looked at Xiao Hei and asked: "Uncle Xiao Hei, has General Nalan seen my grandfather?"
"Quack! Nalan said that King Yelu Khan came home a few days ago, and the little princess can see him when he gets home." Little Black flapped its wings and shouted, "I want to eat meat."
At this moment, Lan Feiyan finally believed that the girl in front of her was just like herself.
She turned out to be the little princess of Yelu Palace in the grassland. This is really a wonderful thing.
…
Watson in the cave didn't know how many days he slept. He knew when the changes in his body would stop, because he couldn't open his eyes at all.
The Watson in the dream was caused by the advancement of the formless body and the change when his cultivation reached a bottleneck.
The Yelu Pearl in the night sky is filled with starlight, slowly changing her physique all the time.
Just like Li Xiuyuan on Tianshan Mountain.
Different from Li Xiuyuan, the current Yelu Pearl uses the power of starlight, but Li Xiuyuan is not good enough. His starlight power is like the rebirth of a phoenix, and he needs to wait for a long opportunity.
Fortunately, the caves on Yinshan Mountain have existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years. If he was under a tree in the wild, the Buddha's light emitted would have attracted the monsters in the mountains and bandits in the distance.
In this way, in Watson's endless sleep, although the Buddha's light was shrouded from time to time, it did not spread outside the cave.
I don't know if one or two days had passed. In short, Watson felt that he had had a long dream. This was the longest dream he had ever had in his life.
In an instant, Watson in the dream opened his eyes. Before he could feel whether the wound on his back was healed, he heard his stomach growling.
He picked up the kettle next to him and drank the herbal tea in one breath, regardless of whether it was a few days old.
Get up and walk out of the cave to wash yourself at the spring.
