"The immortals of ancient times accumulated their merits and diligence, took risks despite the frost, weathered the wind and rain, and dedicated themselves to sweeping and sweeping, showing their great skill in hard work.
"Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. The road to cultivation is long and difficult, with countless hardships and hardships. It requires hard work and a clear mind.
“The ocean of suffering is boundless and all living beings must cross it.”
Every morning, Lin Xuan would come to the courtyard in person to answer questions and provide guidance on practice.
Although he would occasionally let out a few Hedong lion roars, he was relatively tolerant of this group of small children.
After going back and forth, everyone was not so afraid of him. Once, Zhou Xi made a bet with everyone and dared to pull Elder Lin Xuan's beard while he was taking a nap at noon. Then he went to persuade the young monk Xuan Yao, but he only heard an earth-shattering roar that echoed through the clouds, and the roof trembled.
Everyone was so frightened that they dispersed. Lin Xuan's face turned red with anger and his beard twitched. He wondered if he was being too kind to these little brats. He didn't have a roof for three days?
So that day, when Zhou Xi and Xuan Yao were meditating, there were three more bricks on their heads. With the help of secret techniques, they would never be able to take them off before a certain time.
Naturally, Nannan did not join in their mischief. Every time she heard Lin Xuan preach, she always thought about it on her own first, and combined the results of her thoughts to form a system of her own in her mind.
She will also ask Lin Xuan some questions, and the latter will answer questions and doubts, check and fill in the gaps for Nannan, and use the experience of previous people to verify the results of her thinking.
Lin Xuan was quite surprised. Although this girl was in poor physical condition, her views on spiritual practice were always to the point, and her angles were novel, which greatly impressed him.
In the middle of the night or at noon, Nannan would always sneak to the rocks to further verify her thoughts with practical actions.
Later, they called this mountain stone Qingfeng Stone, because when sitting cross-legged on it, you can always feel the mountain breeze unconsciously, which is very refreshing.
Just like this, day after day, months passed quietly. The half-year period that Nannan vowed to live by is getting closer and closer.
On the Qingfeng Stone, Nannan tried to reconcile the Sun Essence and Yue Hua outside her body, but she keenly discovered that as the ratio of the two gradually became closer, the color of the gray and plain hole formed would become darker and darker, and finally it would be as black as ink. There is no sparkle.
She widened her eyes, looked at the dark hole, and said to herself:
"Yin and Yang generate the three qi of harmony, clearness, and turbidity, which are divided into heaven, earth, and human beings. Human beings are me, and only heaven and earth exist. Heaven and earth are unified. It is chaos. It is impossible. This is the most authentic initial form of heaven and earth. Chaos What do you mean?"
If Lin Xuan knew that Nannan had evolved to this point with just that rudimentary spell, he might have had his beard pulled off and his eyes would have popped out.
Nannan began to try to lure this chaos into her body. Before it could sink into her body, Nannan was pleasantly surprised to feel that the door of life that had been dormant for months inside her body shook again. There seemed to be something in the crack of the closed door. Things break through the barriers and are ready to come out.
"feasible!"
She was overjoyed, but she did not relax her vigilance, and methodically pulled the Chaos Hole into her body slowly.
As the Chaos Cave gradually submerged, the fluctuations coming from the Door of Life were no longer occasional shocks, but rumbled like drums, and something inside was violently hitting the door.
This feeling was not pleasant. Nannan's entire abdomen felt like it was placed on a red iron. Every collision the door of life suffered seemed to hit her heart directly.
"Well……"
Nannan's mouth was bleeding, her face was pale, and her brows were furrowed. She gritted her teeth and didn't want to give up.
At this moment, the heavy door of the door of life was obviously shaken, and the things inside seemed to be about to break out in the next second. The majestic breath of life surged up, and Nannan suddenly felt that her six paths were clear and clear, and her spiritual consciousness suddenly became much sharper. However, it was fleeting, and too little of the source of life was leaked!
"Accumulating yang becomes the sky, accumulating yin becomes the earth..."
Nannan gritted her teeth and recited the incantation silently, with big drops of sweat dripping from her pink and tender forehead. She tried to control the chaos to attack the door of life, but was horrified to find that she was not controllable at all. The chaos seemed to resonate with the thing inside the door, spinning at high speed on its own.
Nannan saw that the situation was not good. If this continued, her life seemed to be decided here.
"Nanny, come on."
The young man's voice seemed to come from the distant void.
"elder brother……"
no! Nannan still needs to find her brother!
Nannan gritted her teeth and wanted to give it a try.
I can’t control what’s inside my body, but I can’t control what’s outside my body!
Nannan used the magic formula to draw the gold and silver light groups outside her body to blast towards the door of life. She was very selective, one gold and one silver came in turn.
At this time, it was just dawn, the Yin Qi had not yet disappeared, and the Yang Qi had already gathered. This is a time point that Nannan has found in the past few months of midnight practice that can attract both yin and yang energy at the same time.
The light points formed by the two qi of yin and yang hit the door of life and were immediately absorbed by the Chaos Cave, making the latter larger and larger, but also causing the movement inside the door to become more violent.
"Well……"
Nannan groaned, and the impact from the door was like a giant hammer hitting her heart. Her lips were bitten and dripping with blood. Nannan's mouth and nose were bleeding. She persisted with great perseverance, and she was just a little short!
She was unwilling to accept it and kept holding back her breath.
I was born with a bad body, and everyone shakes their head when they see me, but I am not afraid, because I have a brother, and I just need to be his best and most well-behaved sister. However, you actually took the brother who loved me the most away from me, and I don’t know where he is now. I want to practice cultivation on my own and go to find my brother, but you are so obstructive! I don’t lament the unfairness of my fate, and I don’t care about being disabled or weak. I will go against the will of God, just to be the most well-behaved and sensible sister next to my brother!
Nannan didn't notice, but her obsession with her body was so deep.
"Open it for me!"
The last pair of light balls were pulled by Nannan and hit hard. At this moment, the thick door of the door of life was finally squeezed open a small crack. Two black fish, one black and one white, rushed out from inside and hugged each other in the air. He rushed directly towards Chaos and swallowed it up completely.
At the same time, vigorous life essence spurted out, lingering around Nannan's limbs and bones, making her hair relax and her whole body feel comfortable. The previous feeling that her body was about to be torn apart disappeared instantly, and her whole body was bathed in an extremely sublimated feeling. Enjoyable.
There is an old saying: Those who master the Tao can gain it from the inside, guard it from the outside, and use it with the spirit. It is difficult to explain in words the ultimate sense of ease and comfort that comes when you first enter the practice. It is as if you have cut off the shackles and plunged into a wider world.
Nannan realized the changes in her body at this moment, the door of life was gushing with vitality, and she suddenly felt that her six senses were at the same level and her five roots were pure.
But where is my own misery?
She looked at herself and found that the two black fish, one black and one white, were hugging each other and merging into one.
In the end, it turned into a dark hole. To describe it as pitch black is not enough to describe that kind of blackness. It was complete blackness, absolute blackness, blackness without a trace of light.
It's like the vast world is full of colors, but suddenly there is a circular area that has lost all color. It is pitch black and deep, but you can't see any details at all, and you can't see the end of the cave. It stands there abruptly, as if it doesn't belong to this world.
The black hole just floated inside Nannan's body. Although it was not big, only the size of a cherry stone, it was so black that it seemed to be able to suppress everything, swallow everything, and crush everything.
The void twisted around the black hole. It was calm and quiet, spinning slowly, but Nannan vaguely felt that there was unimaginable power in the dark and deep hole.
"Is this... my sea of suffering?"
Nannan tried to sacrifice, but as soon as the Black Hole Sea of Bitterness was exposed to the outside world, it swept up the surrounding sun essence and moonlight overwhelmingly. The situation suddenly changed, the sun and moon were reversed, and even the Qingfeng Stone began to shake violently.
When Nannan saw this, she hurriedly took it back, and the surrounding area immediately returned to calm and sunny weather. The black hole and the sea of bitterness returned to the appearance of the ancient well without waves, and the black pressure was suppressed in Nannan's body.
Although it is not big, it feels very oppressive. Suddenly, an overwhelming black hole appeared between the sun, moon and stars, swallowing everything and crushing everything.
Nannan thought carefully, and she already guessed that the two black fish, one black and one white, should be the two qi of yin and yang in the body. Just why such a black hole was formed in the end, she thought of the chaotic hole formed when the yin and yang qi merged.
"All things have all shapes and forms. How can they be one? Because of nothingness. From nothingness, there is oneness. Could it be that the combination of yin and yang qi and the evolution of chaos is that one?"
Nannan made analogies in time and tried to find the answer by herself. She had a hunch, and Lin Xuan probably didn't know either.
"No, Tao gives birth to one, which gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Tao is definitely not chaos. Tao was born before chaos, so chaos is not that one."
She discovered the loopholes in her logic, but was not discouraged. Then she thought of another possibility.
Nannan widened her eyes and said to herself:
"The small world inside the body also has its own way. In the future, it will be considered by all the external ways before it can realize the way. Could it be that this black hole is my way?"
Although it was a very vague guess, Nannan came to a conclusion that was infinitely close to the truth through her own logical deduction.
No one to guide me, no one to teach me, just myself. If I say this, my jaw will drop in shock.
If we know more about the process of Nannan opening up the sea of suffering, those old antiques in the coffin will probably jump out and rush to accept Nannan as their apprentice. Regardless of her poor physical condition.
"It's just that Elder Lin Xuan said that after the Sea of Bitterness is opened, only the divine spring in the Sea of Bitterness gushes out, and you can fly. I have a big black hole, where is the spring? Forget it! At least I can finally stay!"
Nannan thought about it for a while, and then smiled happily. The future is long and it is useless to dream about it. She was in a mood like a little bird that had just emerged from the nest, and ran back to the courtyard with great bounce.
Brother, my daughter is one step closer to you!
