Chapter 54 The Heart
Even at this moment, when he thought of the beautiful scene in his dream, Bai Suzhen's heart was still beating violently, his breathing was as if he was about to melt.
But why did she have such a ridiculous and strange dream? Before that, in the long and calm thousand years, she practiced at sunrise and rested at sunset. She never knew what a dream was, and never understood the complex and strange feelings of human beings.
Even after she turned into a human form, she still didn't understand why people cried, laughed, sad, and sad. She didn't understand why people fell in love with someone, why they hated someone, and why fiery love suddenly turned into resolute hatred.
I don’t understand why the monk wants to eliminate the seven emotions and six desires, and why the Taoist priest wants the void to be quiet. If there is no seven emotions and six desires, the void can become an immortal, so why does she need to practice for thousands of years?
Her world has always been so simple, with flowers in spring, moon in autumn, wind in summer, snow in winter, four seasons change, year by year. The so-called way of heaven and earth, the so-called immortality, in her eyes, is nothing more than cultivating this body into plants, trees and rocks.
In just a few days, her world was turned upside down, and the sun and the moon moved further, and she suddenly felt all kinds of strange emotions she had never had before.
When Ge Changgeng died, her vision was blurred, and almost burst out what humans called "tears" came out; when Xu Xuan sucked her wound, his heart beat like a bump, and his internal organs seemed to shrink into a ball; when he held the baby who had lost his parents, his heart was cut like a knife, and the tenderness and care like a tide surged; after Xu Xuan disappeared without a trace, he was anxious, unable to eat or sleep, and his voice and smile were always in front of him...
Is all this because of the "Nanying Golden Pill"? She suddenly jumped in her heart, remembering what Ge Changgeng said when he was teaching her "Cuixu Golden Pill Great Method":
"Bai Snake, you are innocent and kind by nature. You have been practicing for thousands of years and are indifferent and have no desires. It is very valuable. But do you know why all demons have to turn into human form? If you want to practice the path of immortality, you must first practice the path of humanity. Only by feeling the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, experiencing all kinds of hardships and disasters caused by this, and then you can understand your mind and purify your mind and cut off your thoughts, and you can gain a glimpse of the door to the path of immortality with an extraordinary heart.
"This 'Ninying Golden Elixir' brings you not only the inner alchemy true qi that Taoism dreams of, but also the emotions and various troubles of mortals that you have never experienced. If you cannot break out of the cocoon from the seven emotions and six desires, you will either only have a hundred years of life like a mortal; or you will fall into the demonic path and be separated from the immortal world forever.
"You must remember that it is a human, an immortal, and a demon. It is not determined by this elixir, but by your heart. Practice in Shushan is just about refining qi, and practice in the human world is about refining the heart. It is easy to refining qi, but difficult to refining the heart. I hope you can cultivate a body of righteous energy, cut off all the disasters, and ascend to the fairy world with a delicate and clear heart of ice and snow."
At that time, she had to give a golden elixir and was overjoyed. She did not think about Ge Xianren's advice. At this time, she first experienced the various emotions and desires, joy, anger, sorrow and sorrow in the world, and began to understand the taste in the conversation.
She lay motionlessly in the bone-soaked wind on the top of the mountain, watching the moonlight slowly shifting from Xu Xuan, watching the handsome face gradually condense into icy, thinking about the little things that have lived and died with him for several days, thinking about the beautiful illusion of the soul-absorbing dreams all night... She was even more confused, with a soft heart, and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or awakening, or whether it was a real or an illusion.
Bai Suzhen was full of thoughts and had mixed feelings. It took me a lot of time before I fell asleep in the cold wind again in a daze.
If an ordinary person had been sealed with meridians and had been killed by the top of the mountain for a night, he would have been dead. Fortunately, the two of them swallowed the "Ninying Golden Elixir", and the Taoist true qi hidden in their bodies was extremely strong. Although they could not rush through the meridians, they guarded the mysterious orifices and internal organs. Apart from the pain of the skin and flesh, they would not have had any serious problems.
The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. The frost condensed on the two of them quickly dissipated with the dewdrops on the grass leaves. The strange birds waiting on the pine trees flew away.
The two of them woke up slowly, and when they saw that they were safe, they both breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Xuan cried again, and he was so hungry that his front abdomen was pressed against the back of his spine. He sighed and said, "If those strange birds were still there, they could still pretend to be dead and deceive them forward. When they came to peck at my chest and abdomen, they might be able to bite their throats and swallow a few mouthfuls of hot blood..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "wow" scream in the air. Two huge red monster birds actually came and swooped rapidly from the south.
The two birds were completely different from the strange birds yesterday. They looked like carvings but not carvings. They were as big as adults. One had only the left wing, left claws, the other had only the right wing, right claws, and the body seemed to be sewn together. The feathers were sparse and extremely ugly and weird. The screams were even more shrill and strange. The birds on the mountain in the distance heard them and flew into the sky.
The strange bird came very fast, and it had reached Xu Xuan's head in a blink of an eye, and he suddenly reached out to grab it. Before he could scream, he had already picked him up in the air, and then passed by Bai Suzhen like lightning, grabbed her arm, and flew towards the mountains and valleys to the south with a strange cry.
The wind blew, clouds and mist surround me, and from time to time, strange peaks and rocks passed by. The two strange birds had flat wings, at least four feet wide. Although the feathers were sparse, their roots were as sharp as long swords. The trees on both sides were swept by them, and they were cut off from the sound.
The two were shocked and angry, but they could not move and break free. Lin Lingsu's vein sealing technique was extremely unique. Bai Suzhen could not forcefully break away with two injuries, so she could only let them do whatever they wanted.
The further you fly down, the thicker the fog. The originally blue and wide sky has been covered by the vast mist. Occasionally, a strong wind blows, and you can vaguely see deep cliffs and dangerous valleys below. I don’t know how many thousands of feet tall. As long as the strange bird releases its claws, it will definitely fall into a meat paste.
Xu Xuan remembered what the diners at home said that when a hawk and falcon eat turtles, he would first grab it in the air, smash it into pieces, and then enjoy it. He couldn't help but feel bitter. Unexpectedly, he would have to hold on for a day and a night, and he would eventually become bird food. If he had known this, when he ran into his father in Chengdu that day, he would have stood up desperately. Even if he was surrounded by various Taoist and Buddha sects, he would have died.
However, after flying for a while, the two birds of prey never let go of their claws. They thought they were planning to bring them back to the nest and feed their chicks.
Suddenly, the strong wind was stirring, and a heavy rain came from somewhere, which made the two of them soaked and cold.
The heavy rain comes and goes quickly, but it turns into a fine needle of cow hair in a short while and drifts away with the flowing clouds. The sun shines through the dangerous peaks and the clouds, and the golden light shines in the mountains and valleys, and the vision suddenly turns clear and bright.
I saw the mountains and ridges on the left, strange rocks were mixed, and a waterfall rumbled down from the top of the mountain. The water curtains and fog were dispersed, and the rainbow spanned.
On the right is a large high and steep slope, with moraines and rocks scattered with weeds mixed with small bushes of azaleas and a bunch of dead arrow bamboos.
Further away is a glacier, shining with golden light in the sun.
After passing through the valley, there is a deeper and steeper mountain valley ahead. After passing through layers of layers, I don’t know how far I can fly. The clouds and mists dissipate, the blue sky is like washing, the endless mountains, the deep green and light green forests, the colorful wild flowers... like colorful brocade, full of sight.
The two were shocked by this magnificent scene and forgot their fear for a moment. The strange bird cried "Wow" and suddenly turned eastward, rushing straight to the bottom of the valley along the steep cliff.
This canyon is extremely steep and narrow, with glaciers and rocks on the north side, which is obviously caused by the collapse and pouring out of the past. The strong wind whistled and the coldness was so cold.
The sunny mountains can be seen in the south, with dense grass and trees, swaying flowers, and the shadows are covered with spots of unmelted ice and snow.
At least a dozen waterfalls rush down from the mountains on both sides, gathering into mountain streams at the bottom of the valley, winding around and running eastward.
The strange birds grabbed them and rushed across the valley close to the mountain stream, and flew hundreds of feet eastward. The cliffs on both sides became narrower and narrower. The rugged and intertwined rocks were like ferocious birds and beasts ready to go, and they would dive down at any time.
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the upper right corner and laughed: "Good bird, my good bird, dad is here, fly up quickly!"
The strange birds sang in unison, and rushed straight with their wings spreading, landing on a protruding cliff rock. The two of them rolled over and rolled up, almost falling.
The man shouted in a trembling voice: "Miaoji! Miaoji! Eat some birds, snakes and rats every day, and the blacks are faded from their mouths! Such two-legged sheep with fine skin and tender flesh will definitely be the sweetest and refreshing to eat after steaming."
Xu Xuan looked up and was shocked. A man sat in the cave on the cliff. His legs and arms had been cut off, his head was unkempt and his body was covered with rotten maggots. There were all kinds of rotten birds and the corpses of wild beasts. The foul smell was hard to describe. A few feet apart, he was already so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he wanted to vomit.
Bai Suzhen was born with purity and couldn't help but frown.
The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, little fairy, what I want to eat is this two-legged sheep. As you, just give my good bird a snack."
The one-piece monster bird seemed to understand his words, and yelled and stepped forward, pecking at her.
Xu Xuan Dalin was about to stop him, and with a "bang", the air waves exploded, and the one-piece monster bird suddenly seemed to be hit by something in the air, screaming as Zhang Yi flew across the sky, and the broken feathers fell colorfully.
Only one person laughed: "Old monster, you don't have such a good fortune. You'd better eat your dead rat honestly." Piaoran rushed to the entrance of the cave, and was flew with green clothes. It was Lin Lingsu.
At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Xuan was surprised to overwhelm the fear. He didn't expect that he would come back and found this place so quickly! He felt a little strange in his heart. The ravines are everywhere, like a maze, and the monster birds are flying and fast. Even if the demon returns to the top of the mountain and finds that they disappear, how could he come so quickly?
Before I could think too much, I heard the people in the hole cursing wildly: "Fuck your grandma, it turns out that you are the ungrateful little bastard! I'm going to peel your skin and suck your tendons..."
