The two Taoists looked at each other and understood.
Such novice practitioners have seen too much in their experience! When they first entered the practice, they realized that they were different from ordinary people, and they began to feel complacent and carried away themselves. I didn’t know where I heard that there are white sandworms in the Gobi Desert that can help with practice, and then they People come in with bottles and cans and want to make a fortune!
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. Even after reaching such a deep place, those bottles are still empty. You can imagine how embarrassing this little guy's harvest is!
It's normal, it's the only way for almost every casual cultivator! How much better are veteran cultivators like them who have been struggling on the path of cultivation for decades really better than this young man?
It's just a joke at fifty steps but a hundred steps at a time. If you don't feel it for one day, you will eventually be able to escape a cup of loess!
Seeing this young man, I couldn't help but think of my past, sigh with emotion, and lose interest in further discussions. What's the point of the relationship between ants and ants, and they will still be ants in the future?
The two of them walked away. Before leaving, the short Taoist left a message:
“There is no future in digging holes. If you don’t have that ability, don’t pretend to be a pangolin!
Just two days' journey to the west, some practitioners are joining forces to catch white sand worms. If you go and help, you can get a share of the pie, which is better than sticking your butt out and showing off your strength!
But if you want to dig out a big treasure here and are afraid of sharing it with others, then you have no choice but to be a lone ranger!"
Lou Xiaoyi watched them leave, and the smile on his lips began to slowly turn cold. The arrival of these two people was sudden and silent, and he almost exposed his biggest secret.
Fortunately, the cloud of bad luck in his mind reminded him; in Lou Xiaoyi's daily life, this cloud of bad luck seemed to have never changed, and the color, shape, and size were as dead as ever; but he was as cautious as he was. , he still needs to examine it in his consciousness from time to time. What he is afraid of is that another lucky person will appear, and then he may not be able to let it go!
While digging a hole, he was bored and took a look at his piece of luck cloud. He found that the cloud showed signs of turning black, from gray to black. Although it was not obvious, it was very important after observing it in recent months. It is still very clear to him!
What does this mean? He doesn't understand. There is no manual for this thing!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
After all, this thing may be the only immortal golden finger he comes to this world!
There must be some danger? Or luck? It is preparing to come!
Will there be any rare treasures dug out of the pit? Ancient relics from the previous dynasty? Or will there be a natural or man-made disaster?
To be on the safe side, he dug a little slower and didn't use incense!
This almost saved his life!
His perception was pitifully weak, and it was not until the two Taoists appeared at the pit that he realized that the change in fortune was due to someone's misfortune!
In other words, if he drops incense like usual and attracts red-threaded white sandworms, that will be a disaster!
Now that he has not taken such action, everything is still unknown?
Facts have proved that his caution prevented him from arousing the suspicion of the two practitioners, who mistook him for a confused novice practitioner digging holes here with his own whims!
The camel, the baggage, and the deep hole dug, all these perfectly portray the ignorant and greedy face of a new practitioner. There is no need to take action against such a novice!
This is how practitioners think!
In the world of spiritual practice, you cannot easily judge others by the good or bad people. If you have no interests involved, you may be an out-and-out good person; if you have interests that are tempting enough, such as the method of attracting red worms, but you do not have the strength to defend the interests, then
Good people can become bad people!
No matter what happens in the vast Gobi desert, who knows?
Return your attention to the sea of consciousness, and the fortune is slowly changing back to its original color!
What a great thing! It’s like adding a layer of insurance to his life!
But there are still many questions. The early warning of this thing seems to be slow to come, and the danger is already close before it responds; and the information sent is vague, and you still have to guess!
If he encounters a big opportunity in the future, and this thing changes color, and ends up bluffing him into stopping, who will he blame for this loss?
We must find out its rules!
As soon as he thought of it, Lou Xiaoyi drew out his dagger for self-defense and pointed it at his neck in a good posture. He said from his heart,
"I'm going to commit suicide, what will happen to my luck?"
The conclusion is: no change!
This thing is a bit spiritual. Do you still know what is true and what is false?
Since we can't find the root cause for the time being, we can only give up. As time goes by and our cultivation changes, we will eventually find out its rules!
Lou Xiaoyi did not continue to drip dolphin incense to gather insects. He had realized that he was not the only cultivator in the core area of the Gobi. From what the short Taoist said, there was probably a group of cultivators here who were also looking for white sand worms.
!
For safety reasons, he decided not to use incense anymore!
Because he is in his weakest state when he is moving Qi and eating Qi. If these two Taoists can get close to each other silently, others must be able to do the same. After all, in the spiritual circle, he, Lou Xiaoyi, is still a complete newcomer!
After wandering aimlessly in the Gobi for two days, he kept thinking about a question: Should he turn back just for safety, or should he take a risk and collect red worms once before leaving?
Taking risks? Taking it for granted! In the past two days, he saw three practitioners from a distance. With such a relatively dense appearance frequency, there is no guarantee that no outsiders will show up while he is collecting red worms!
Moreover, he was not sure that he could collect enough red worms at one time to support his practice for a long time. If he only caught dozens or dozens of them, it would be completely meaningless!
Just go back home? He is not willing to do it!
In the end, he chose an approach that seemed risky but was actually the most natural!
Go west and join the group of casual cultivators!
For a newcomer to spiritual practice, what is the most natural and least suspicious way to do it?
That is, when independent search is fruitless, take the initiative to move closer to the large army in order to get some scraps!
Now Lou Xiaoyi has put the purpose of catching red threadworms second. If he can take this opportunity to get to know some practitioners, it will be equally important to him!
Practicing alone is really too difficult, there are too many detours, and you can’t turn around!
He discovered that his shortcomings were not only in his cultivation, but also in many other aspects. For example, he didn't have the tools, bags, rings, etc. that were suitable for traveling. What was the point of carrying two behemoths with him every day?
?
For example, perception ability! You can’t rely solely on the floating luck in the sea of consciousness, that may be unreliable, it’s just an unexpected surprise! He needs strong perception to discover others before others discover him!
Humans have six senses: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind! He has none of them!
Consciousness, that is, divine consciousness, is something that needs to be acquired during the induction period. It cannot be expected now, but the other five senses can be cultivated, but he has no knowledge in this area.
If you don’t get in touch with the spiritual practice circle, you will never get these skills!
