Chapter 509: Subtract and seek emptiness, Houtu’s ‘return’
Standing on the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, Mingyu pinched the center of her eyebrows.
Raising a rebellious soul is really a headache.
"You just...killed your obsession?"
An uncertain inquiry sounded from behind.
Ju Mang kept his eyes fixed on Qingshan and never slackened for a moment.
He just saw that Mingyu seemed to be in a state of enlightenment, with all kinds of mysterious meanings that made people confused at a glance, as if he was about to let go of everything and return to this nostalgic rolling world of mortals.
Then the breath suddenly changed, it was still in this human world, but Jumang inexplicably sensed the appearance of infinite sentient beings, and the ten demons from the heavens came to the human world, tested the sentient beings, and understood their minds through tribulations in order to achieve transcendence.
This is another kind of freedom different from the worldly world.
And as Mingyu slowly woke up, he returned to a sense of tranquility.
This is a kind of tranquility that is completely opposite to the hustle and bustle around you.
When Gou Mang looked at him again, his eyebrows were furrowed.
Mingyu's figure is no longer as stark as when he left.
Now he has no power, no aura, no Taoist aggregate, no great way, no law...
Everything is nothing, everything is empty.
Almost as good as the Tao!
He just cut out three of his own corpses right in front of his eyes, in this human imperial capital?
For a moment, Jumang was stunned.
"Are you going to kill the obsession? Well~, I think you've killed it."
Ahead, Mingyu collected his soul and answered Goumang's question with a chuckle: "But I would rather tell you that I got back a piece of Dao Fruit scattered in the world."
He is the Great Demon King of the Heavens, and he is also the free traveler in the world of mortals. Each of the two flowers represents a branch, and two Tao fruits are formed on the tree of the great road of the human world.
Two Taoist fruits, two choices, but different paths to the same destination.
All Tao bodies are all Tao fruits. If you get your original mind, you must first realize the emptiness.
The method of killing three corpses.
In Mingyu's view, it is actually a process of subtraction and emptiness.
Cut off the good, evil and obsessions, and let the Taoist practitioners subtract themselves so as to be close to the ethereal state of the Tao, so as to facilitate the study of the Tao, enlightenment and even final enlightenment.
This is what Taoism calls "emptiness alone is the great road."
The moment he retrieved the Tao Fruit, he had already clearly understood the principle of reducing and seeking emptiness by killing three corpses, and was exploring the root of Tao in the state of "the emptiness of Tao".
Therefore, what Jumang sees is that everything is nothing and everything is empty.
Under such circumstances, you have found your true self and your own obsessions have been eliminated.
But in fact, it is correct to say that it was not beheaded, because the two Dao Fruits were not reunited and turned into one corpse.
To be honest, Mingyu's current three potentials are in a very mysterious state.
Those who think he has beheaded will be beheaded.
Those who think it has not been cut off are not cut off.
This can probably be defined as "Schrödinger's three corpses".
Thinking of this, Mingyu smiled unconsciously.
Seeing the world of mortals, reduce and seek emptiness.
This is what I gained from this trip.
"not bad!"
He squinted his eyes, showed a satisfied smile, and then resumed his control of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and continued to wander around the city.
"The Taoist Fruit has been obtained, but why does it stay here?"
Ju Mang turned around from his daze, followed quickly, and asked expressionlessly.
He has not forgotten that Mingyu's destination is in the west.
"I'll just take a look, okay?"
Everything is empty, Mingyu is almost Taoist, his eyes are as clear as those of a water-evading golden-eyed beast.
The former is the epiphany of entering and exiting the world of mortals, the purity that seems like a new life after all the glory has gone.
The latter has lived outside the world for a long time and has not experienced the beatings of the world of mortals. He is as simple as a piece of white paper.
It's also very pure.
This is probably why Mingyu "borrowed" it along the way.
"When are you going to return it?"
Ju Mang glanced at the cute beast and asked Mingyu casually.
Mingyu was watching everything in the imperial capital with great interest. When he heard the question, he said casually without looking back: "Taishan Qinggan borrowed it. What does it have to do with me, Fengqi Mingyu?"
Ju Mang's face immediately darkened.
But then I heard Mingyu say calmly: "Besides, haven't you already paid it back?"
"When will I pay it back?" Ju Mang frowned and said.
Mingyu turned around and rode the divine beast upside down.
The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, and the eight white teeth exposed glared at his eyes, "Just before, on the river, didn't you already return it? You borrowed a mythical beast from Lord Long and gave him a beating in return. This counts. 'Whatever you borrow comes back'!"
Ju Mang's mouth twitched sharply when he heard this.
He took a deep breath and tightened his fists hidden under his sleeves.
It’s not you who gets beaten for paying off debts!
But it has to be said that this "borrow and repay" is true.
I "borrowed" it because of my ability, and I even beat it, so why should I give it back?
When he thought of this, the depression in Gou Mang's heart became relieved a lot.
Seeing this, Mingyu nodded and said seriously: "You have also seen that I have nothing now. Any Mao Shen can take care of me, so you have to follow closely and don't stay too far away."
"I'm not your guard!" Ju Mang gritted his teeth and said with a heart attack upon hearing this.
He felt that staying with Mingyu for so many days would shorten his life!
"I know."
Mingyu's eyes flashed with clear light, and he said purely like the big boy next door: "We are walking together together, we can be said to be fellow Taoists. Is it an unreasonable request to invite fellow Taoists to protect our companions?"
You actually treat me as a Taoist friend?
Thank you so much!
Ju Mang unconsciously took another breath. He wanted to say a few words regardless of the image.
But Mingyu's clear eyes looked straight over, and when she mentioned the word "fellow Taoist", she was pure and sincere, which made Gou Mang unable to say a harsh word no matter what.
"I owe you everything in my previous life!"
Ju Mang sighed heavily and walked quickly to Mingyu with a wooden face.
As he moved forward, the forbidden laws were heavily reinforced, and he was conscientious of his duties.
“Fellow Taoist is so nice!”
The young man in green shirt sent him a good guy card sincerely.
Next, Mingyu's character became more and more outspoken as he continued to reduce and seek emptiness.
He seemed to have returned to the time when he first sought enlightenment, the soaring green luan bird in the sky.
Traveling through the ages and returning to the original starting point.
Ju Mang looked at the big boy in front of him and behind him, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The cold face began to soften.
Compared with the "bad" situation before, the contrast now actually made Jumang feel much better.
"Maybe this is his 'self'." Gou Mang whispered to himself.
As he walked, he heard Mingyu call Taoist friend again.
"What's up?"
When he didn't get an answer, Gou Mang followed Mingyu's gaze.
"Palace of Purity?"
The Netherworld's exclusive text, the ghost talisman, was randomly sketched on a plaque like graffiti.
Coupled with the unique atmosphere of Netherworld, it seems ancient and eerie.
To the left and right of the Hall of Rebirth, two ghosts and gods stand majestically.
One is wearing mysterious clothes and the other is wearing white clothes.
Both of them wear tall crowns and hats.
There are four characters written on each hat.
Gou Mang saw Mingyu stopping here, so he took a curious look.
The long white hat says: You are here too!
The long black hat reads: We are catching you!
At first glance, it didn't seem unusual, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be bright red.
These eight ferocious ghost talismans exuded a strange charm, and a gloomy feeling came over one's face, as if a big hand was strangling the person's throat.
Terror shrouded my heart like a silent night, and in my trance I could actually hear the sound of rattling chains and the sharp and piercing howls of ghosts.
The hairs on my hair stood on end and my spine felt chilly.
"Who the hell came up with this slogan?"
Mingyu complained silently in his heart.
No wonder, compared to the locations of other forces, this side of the Netherworld is sparse.
These two demons are here to attack, who is willing to go in?
At this time, Gou Mang's expression flickered, and he vaguely saw a figure in the Hall of Rebirth.
He glanced at Mingyu thoughtfully, and then looked strange for a moment.
Afterwards, Jumang waved his hand to disperse the forbidden law and walked away.
He said: "I'm going to buy some spiritual fruits. You just stay here and don't move around."
"I'll only eat two, and I'll give you the rest."
Mingyu said.
Woohoo~
(I only eat two!)
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast flicked its tail and expressed its appeal to Jumang.
Mingyu smiled and patted its round head: "You don't understand, what are you calling for?"
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast blinked.
Is there any hidden meaning to this?
The statue-like black and white at the door made people and animals come to the front of the Rebirth Hall, and Gujing Mubo's deep eyes slowly turned around.
"Great Emperor, why are you here?"
Bai Wuchang, who had the words "You're here too" on his head, looked panicked.
"Old Bai, you are blind, this is the Taoist Master!"
Hei Wuchang took a closer look, his eyes widened, and he quickly corrected himself.
Only then did Bai Wuchang realize it.
Compared to the endless majesty of his own great emperor, the aura of the one in front of him was much more ethereal.
The two ghosts and gods respectfully saluted Mingyu.
"Meet the Taoist Master!"
Mingyu waved his hand in an easy-going manner: "You guys stand on your posts, I'm just here to take a look."
"yes!"
The two ghosts and gods turned into statues again and stood in front of the door without squinting, motionless.
Mingyu walked straight into the hall.
The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast with a tiger head and a tiger brain has shrunk in size, resembling an orange cat.
It raised its tail and followed Mingyu step by step with an elegant posture.
In the Hall of Rebirth, a figure sits upright.
Her figure is graceful and flawless, her eyebrows are faintly delicate, her smile is charming, and her voice is gentle.
"You're really here."
She seemed to be waiting for a long time.
"Are the great reincarnations of the heavens ready?"
Mingyu smiled unconsciously when he saw Houtu in front of him.
Hou Tu's eyebrows were as crescent-shaped as his eyes, and his voice was soft: "Aren't you still worried about the two of us joining forces?"
"Yes." Mingyu replied with approval.
He sat down opposite Hou Tu and picked up the spiritual tea that had been brewed.
The shrunken mythical beast was very good at sizing up the situation. It whined, wagging its tail and ran to Houtu's side.
"Huh? Where did you pick up the mythical beast?"
When Hou Tu saw the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She put it on her lap and gently stroked the beast's back with her jade hands, causing the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast to purr in comfort.
Mingyu said: "Fellow Daoist Qinggan borrowed it from Longjun's Shuifu."
"Longjun's Water Mansion?"
Hou Tu calculated it silently and understood the cause and effect. She immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
The feud between Mingyu and his brother has long been resolved and turned into chaos.
She didn't want to worry about it, let these two men make trouble.
"But since you have returned it, it can be considered your mount, without giving it a name?"
Obviously, Hou Tu and Mingyu have the same idea in terms of the understanding of "what is borrowed must be repaid."
"name?"
Mingyu frowned and stared at the cute water-avoiding golden-eyed beast for a long time.
The mythical beast also has its eyes shining and its tail wagging happily.
It seems to be looking forward to naming it.
"Why don't we just call it 'Big Orange'!"
Big orange?
What's this name?
The mythical beast's little face fell, and its happily wagging tail dropped down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hou Tu also blinked.
She thought for a moment and carefully said her words: "Do you mean putting the overall situation first? This is quite in line with the situation we are facing now."
"Well...that's about right."
Mingyu looked at Daju's coat but smiled silently.
Hou Tu lowered his head and smiled too.
This is what it means~
"Let's choose a more atmospheric name."
She patted Da Ju on the head and said, "How about Tai Sui?"
"Better than what I just had."
Mingyu expressed his approval.
After getting a good name, the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast became happy again.
It rolled around on Houtu's knees, its tail wagging very energetically.
Hou Tu looked at Tai Sui who was acting happily, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Actually, the name Da Ju is not bad, it sounds kind, so I will give it a nickname from now on."
Tai Sui's eyes widened, and he froze directly on Hou Tu's lap, and then fell to the ground again.
Seeing this, Hou Tu covered his mouth and smiled. The sound was like a silver bell, shining with hope, which was really pleasing to the eye.
Mingyu caught the big orange that was playing tricks and gave it some comfort.
"Since the name has been given, the spiritual treasure should also be given to him."
He searched for it in his sleeve, and after a moment he took out a Ruyi. This thing had the magic of Xuan Yuan, and the treasure light flickered, and you could vaguely see the wonders of the unopened chaos.
"This Xuan Yuan Jade Ruyi was obtained by the Taoist Patriarch from the Fenbao Cliff in the past. It is innately of middle grade and has a good attack effect. If it hits the opponent's heavenly spirit, it will have miraculous effects."
Mingyu warned Daju twice, signaling him to accept it.
When Daju heard that it was an innate treasure, he swallowed Ruyi in one gulp with excitement, and then rubbed it between Mingyu's palms, feeling extremely happy.
Hou Tu also gave it a big seal. Once it is used, it can hear the sounds of dragons and tigers. It has insufficient attack power and unparalleled defense, which is a perfect match for Xuan Yuan Jade.
The two of them chatted about this new pet.
You give me some advice on refining the spiritual treasure, and I'm going to tell you about my cultivation experience.
You plan the road for the future, and I deduce the supporting scriptures.
Big fortunes came one after another, making Daju feel dizzy.
But happiness comes and goes quickly.
Daju soon discovered that the blessings given by his two masters were too much for him.
Especially the systematic verses at the back made Daoji's head as big as a bucket.
It seemed like I was back when I first arrived at Shuifu.
As a mythical beast with high hopes from the Dragon King, Daju often went to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to listen to Prime Minister Turtle’s sermons.
After coming back, I still have to deal with Long Jun’s assessment from time to time.
If you are not satisfied, you will have to receive tutoring from Mr. Long on the spot.
Day after day, year after year, we are governed by scripture.
There has been a breakthrough recently, and Mr. Long gave himself a holiday.
I originally thought that it would be a rare relief for the new owner to take me away and take him to see the prosperity of the world.
I didn’t expect that one mountain would pass through all obstacles!
The mythical beast looked at Mingyu on the left and Houtu on the right.
Look at the jade slips that have piled up in the lobby in a blink of an eye.
Those clear and cute big eyes were filled with deep confusion at this time.
If I remember correctly, I was only born 160,000 years ago.
