The black tiger also seemed to understand that the prince had accepted him, and felt happy. It knew smartly that the prince did not want anyone to disturb him at this time, so he quietly walked to the cool place at the entrance of the cave, leaned down, lowered his head and took a nap.
】
From this day on, Prince Zhaoyue Donggang began his new monastic career in the Taihe Mountains. He was alone in the remote mountains, counting the sunrises and sunsets, forgetting the cycle of time, and immersed himself in a kind of world outside the mortal world.
In the tranquility of a dream.
During this period, every few days, when the prince felt hungry and thirsty, the considerate black tiger would go to the mountains to pick wild fruits and bring them to him. He knew that the prince was unwilling to eat meat at this time, so he hunted
At that time, he just secretly went far away where the prince could not see him, and refused to let him see him. He would not bring the captured beasts to the prince's cave for fear that the prince would blame him. However, whenever the prince meditated at night, the black tiger would
He would always wait quietly aside to prevent the intrusion of other beasts in the mountains. Although the prince did not say anything in his mouth, he was clearly aware of Black Tiger's every move and was secretly grateful. One person and one tiger got along harmoniously, and their relationship grew day by day.
Du. Because of this, a secret idea gradually grew in the prince's mind, but there was no way to implement it yet.
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the years are unknown.
In addition to meditating and practicing Qigong every day, the prince studied Taoist classics. Five years passed in the blink of an eye. Because Taihe Mountain is quiet and secluded, and the cave where the prince lives is on a cliff, ordinary people simply cannot
It is impossible to come here. In addition, because of the strange topography of this mountain, it can be called a natural gathering formation with miraculous craftsmanship. The richness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is really unimaginable. Therefore, in the past five years, the prince has
He has already completely combined the natal essence circulating in the meridians in his body with the energy of the ginseng fruit he had taken before, and transformed it into his own body energy. Coupled with the large amount of mountain spiritual energy he has absorbed in the past five years, under the accumulation and compression,
The energy form in the Dantian Qi sea has undergone a qualitative change. Although the Tai Chi diagram-shaped ball has not shrunk in size, it has completely changed from gaseous to liquid, golden in color, and returned to Hunyuan. The universe in the body is rotating.
Through inhalation and exhalation, the energy around the body flows on its own, and the rotation is almost natural.
However, gradually the prince discovered that his true energy was not a single pure energy. Like his nominal son Cain, there were two energies with strong negative emotions, one green and one red.
, although these two energies are not too big, whenever they appear alternately, they will trigger the prince's earthly desires hidden in the deep corners of his memory: parental affection, love between men and women, lust for food and drink, wealth and honor.
Li Lu and so on.
Whenever these emotions were aroused, the prince who was originally calm would suddenly become confused and immersed in the strong nostalgia and could not extricate himself. Fortunately, he asked himself when he left home decisively and faced his mother.
He is cold and ruthless when it comes to his efforts to retain and Feng Yi's lingering affection. If he cannot persevere, he may make secular people laugh at his lack of success in doing things. He has always been arrogant and always wants to be recognized by others before he can feel at ease. In
Under such a psychological effect, he was able to stay alone and stay in such a desolate place for five years.
And whenever he was upset and couldn't relieve himself, he would climb to the top of the mountain and practice swordsmanship on Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Mount Taihe, which towers into the sky, so as to relieve the depression and conflicts in his heart. etc.
Once the knot in my mind is relieved, I will return to the cave again and continue to study Taoism with great concentration.
It was so embarrassing that in the autumn of the fifth year, the mountains and trees were desolate and there was a sense of mourning. As the saying goes, "women are sad for spring, and men are sad for autumn." At this time, although the prince was already full of Taoist scriptures, he had already memorized all the Taoist books he had brought.
It must be cooked to the point of being extremely cooked and flowing.
It's just that although he is very familiar with these Taoist books and can roughly understand their meaning. But whether he understands it is one thing, and whether he can do it is another matter. Although five years is not too long,
, but compared to a young man who comes from a prosperous palace and has experienced bloody wars and countless sentimental love between children, he is alone day and night, and can only fight with a black tiger.
Companion, lingering with the mountain mist, dancing with the moon shadow, and singing with the mourning ape; thirsty to drink from the mountain spring, hungry to eat wild fruits, the color of the robe has long been lost, and the black hair has long been knotted with the beard. Every time the forest spring is reflected, I feel ashamed.
I can't help but feel a lot of emotion. Although I know that the appearance is something external to the body, subconsciously I can't help but miss the young prince who was as handsome as jade and heroic in appearance.
For a long time, the prince saw that he had read the Taoist scriptures thoroughly, but he still could not truly understand the true meaning. The vast door of Taoism always seemed to be close to him, but it seemed that it was far away from thousands of rivers and mountains.
It is clearly visible, but it is always like looking at flowers in the mist or looking at the moon in the water. When I reach out to catch it, it will always disappear among the beautiful ripples. And behind every ups and downs of the ripples.
On the road, all kinds of things outside the mountain will always emerge: the caring smiling faces of parents, the lingering warmth of Yue Shang and Feng Yi, the kneeling and cheering of thousands of people, the comfort of having clothes on the palace, reaching out for food, and opening mouths... all of this is like a revolving lantern.
Usually flashing through his mind alternately, contrasting with the cold and lonely mountains in front of him, the dark caves, the unexpected wind and rain, the bitter cold of winter, the heat of summer, the throbbing of spring, the chill of autumn, the world outside the mountains is so different.
The time seemed so wonderful in the prince's mind, and endless temptations came one after another, like a thread, in an endless stream. The more the prince felt that the road to spiritual cultivation was elusive and unpredictable, the more frequently these gorgeous scenes appeared in front of him.
In a vicious circle, the prince's originally firm Taoist heart gradually began to waver.
One night in the late autumn of the fifth year after the prince entered Taihe Mountain, the prince finally cleared away his complicated thoughts and gradually entered the emptiness. However, at this moment, a cool autumn wind suddenly swept outside the cave entrance.
The bushes outside the cave made a pattering sound, and the continuous autumn rain fell from the night sky, soaking the entire Taihe Mountains.
The dampness of the autumn rain and the patter of sadness turned into strands of deep thoughts, entering the cave with the night wind and seeping into the prince's gray artistic conception.
A green field unfolded leisurely in the sea of consciousness of the prince's soul. Amidst the laughter like silver bells, two beautiful and elegant girls took a shot from the back of a silver flying bird and a colorful nine-color phoenix respectively.
Jumping down, their bodies were graceful and airy. In front of them was a dense forest. The two girls pursed their lips and chuckled, waving their hands behind them and running towards the depths of the forest.
At this time, the prince had already forgotten where he was. He only felt his body light, as if he had broken through a transparent barrier, or as if he had accidentally broken free from an invisible shackle. In a trance, he had already
In this quiet wilderness.
The scene in front of him was so familiar. He looked at the two graceful figures in front of him, the twisting waists, the flowing long hair, the body fragrance spreading all the way, and the charming laughter. All these were so tempting to him.
It was so big that a long-lost desire in his heart suddenly overwhelmed him like a tide.
At this moment, only the two beautiful figures in front of him were left in his consciousness. This was almost a fatal temptation. At this moment, the prince's Taoist heart collapsed like an iceberg, and a thunder sounded in his mind.
With a loud noise like a thunder, ice shards flew into the sky and the earth into a thick fog, coming towards you, like a gentle spring rain, like a lingering autumn wind, drowning everything and awakening everything.
There seemed to be a voice whispering seductively: "Wake up! Pretty in pink, the beauty of spring is boundless! Life is short, why hesitate anymore?! Go! Go! There is eternal and endless happiness!"
In that wilderness, the prince had returned to his valiant appearance before the battle between humans and demons. His eyes staring ahead were flashing with a wild beast-like light. He stepped lightly and headed towards the dense forest like a whirlwind.
