Chapter 206 Essence of Life
Chapter 206 Essence of Life
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, there was a big hole in the ground. A dusty head popped out like a mouse and checked the area.
"We're finally here! (⊙_⊙)? It's dark?" the voice said.
They didn't know, not even Chang Qing knew, that after the giant shadow of the Buddha in the sky launched the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, it began to quickly go out. The sun now was like the dusk of the end of the world, revealing a bit of desolate afterglow.
Then, looking at the sacred mountain right in front of him, a light began to flash in his eyes.
Dozens of people gradually appeared in the big cave, all of them covered in dust, sweating and mentally exhausted.
"Finally I'm here! I'm so tired! What a stupid job!"
"I don't want to move anymore. I don't want to move at all..."
Someone started lying on the ground and complaining, but for some reason no one responded.
Turning around, I saw several figures rushing up the stairs at a very fast speed as if they had eaten Wei.
The person lying down was dumbfounded. He was supposed to be very tired! He could reach the moon at this speed!
"Hehehe! Fellow Taoists, go ahead!"
"When it comes to opportunities, whoever grabs it first gets it!"
Several voices came down from the stairs, making the exhausted people below want to curse.
-------------------------------------
The cave was extremely dark. After a few people entered, the mechanism closed again. The three people's eyes lit up slightly, and then they were able to see the structure inside clearly.
It is a half-opened stone chamber, and many places are covered by plant roots.
It is called a treasure room, but in fact it is just two rows of stone shelves, one row holds a pile of jade slips. When his spiritual sense scans them, he finds that they are all Buddhist books. Although Chang Qing does not practice Buddhism, he remembers a saying: garbage is just treasure that is not placed in the right place, not to mention so many precious Buddhist scriptures that have been lost for tens of thousands of years!
Changqing was not polite at all and put them all into the earrings.
The other side was more interesting, with robes, a golden staff, a vajra, a bell, rosary beads, etc. However, since they were not well preserved, their spirituality had almost disappeared and they had long been turned into ordinary objects. Changqing confiscated any of them as they took up too much space.
"That's all?" Chang Qing was a little disappointed. He thought it was all good stuff! But he was greatly disappointed. There were no treasures like what Lao Deng said.
Chang Qing really wrongly blamed Lao Deng for this matter. After all, he had not moved for ten thousand years, and he had been relying on his mental power to arrange the outer magic circle of Lingshan for ten thousand years. Naturally, he had no time to care about the situation in the treasure house.
At this time, Jiao Cang's nose twitched, and he suddenly said, "Brother, there seems to be something good here."
Changqing perked up his somewhat listless spirit and looked at where Jiaocang was pointing.
The walls there were all covered with roots, the wall surface could not be seen clearly, and even Changqing's spiritual consciousness was blocked.
Ling Yu swung his broken sword, and in just a few breaths, a secret entrance leading to the inside appeared.
The moment the cave entrance appears, an extremely mellow fragrance fills the air, making people feel euphoric and refreshed.
(●v?v●)
"Jiao Cang, you did a good job. I'll give you a snack after we get out!" Chang Qing was a little obsessed with the fragrance.
There is a different world inside the cave, and the roots of some plants have a little fluorescence.
There was a puddle of water in the distance, and there was the sound of liquid dripping.
Next to the pond, there was a skeleton wearing a tattered cassock, sitting cross-legged with its hands clasped together. In its chest was a withered golden elixir that had lost all color.
Changqing was silent for a moment, then waved his hand gently to brush away the dust from the monk who had passed away.
The dust cleared, and two lines of text appeared in front of the golden statue.
【The dream lasts for a long time, and the people of the past and present are ignorant of this life. 】
【Only when the mind is pure can one attain the Way; taking a step back is actually moving forward. 】
Although Changqing couldn't understand the two lines of words, the spirit they conveyed lingered for a long time.
Chang Qing recited it several times, and suddenly he felt a sense of freshness rising in his heart, and he felt much more comfortable.
"It's actually a poem full of Zen meaning. Reciting it many times can clear the dust from your soul." Chang Qing exclaimed.
Let Jiao Cang and Ling Yu also remember it silently, which will be beneficial to their practice.
Although Qingtian Nianqing Jue has many problems for Changqing, it is very effective in keeping the mind clear. And these two lines of poetry may also be an opportunity for Jiaocang and Lingyu.
"Is taking a step back also looking forward?" Ling Yu murmured.
As his mind raced, Ling Yu suddenly had some epiphany. A huge amount of mental fluctuations appeared around his body, but they did not act on his spiritual power, but on the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows.
The spiritual energy was suddenly pulled towards his eyebrows, and Ling Yu felt that his spirit had changed, as if it had turned into an invisible sense, and he could see things around him even without using his eyes.
Chang Qing on the side was secretly surprised. He thought that it was rare for a spiritual consciousness to be born in his Pi Hai realm, but he didn't expect to see another one today.
He was surprised by Ling Yu's talent, and Chang Qing's remaining pride was shattered to pieces.
"Teacher... This feeling is so strange. My perception seems to have changed." Ling Yu said
Although Chang Qing didn't want to admit it, Ling Yu was a genius among geniuses.
"This is spiritual consciousness." Chang Qing explained
"Spiritual consciousness?" Ling Yu scratched his head, then said in shock: "Isn't that something that can only be born in the Kaidan Realm, or even the Yundan Realm? How can it appear in the Pihai Realm?"
"It's okay, just know that you are a genius." Chang Qing patted Ling Yu's shoulder.
"Since the teacher knows it, then it means that the teacher also has it." Ling Yu reacted.
Chang Qing did not answer, but just looked at the monk who had turned into dry bones and said:
"Ling Yu, your perception has changed, and the opportunity all comes from him. He can be considered your teacher. Come and pay your respects to him."
Ling Yu nodded, his expression solemn, walked to the front of the dried bones, and bowed three times.
After the bowing ceremony, the withered golden elixir in Cang Gu's chest suddenly fell out and rolled to Ling Yu's feet.
"Put it away! It's your gift to become my disciple." Chang Qing spoke again.
Looking at the withered bones, Ling Yu said reluctantly: "I want to take this pile of bones away and bring it to Lingran. We have been separated from this world for too long, and I believe he must miss his hometown."
Changqing nodded and walked to the pond nearby.
Jiao Cang had already been lying beside the pond, drooling.
The water had an amazing fragrance, with a green milky liquid dripping from it from time to time.
"This is..." Chang Qing was a little unsure for a moment. This thing looked quite similar to his own Green Bull, but also a little different.
Just as he was hesitating, Shidan flashed out from the earrings, dived into the water, and floated up and down happily.
Chang Qing had a clue in his mind and quickly fished out the stone egg, because he found that the water level in the pond had dropped by one point in just two breaths.
The stone egg actually emitted a faint will, full of dissatisfaction.
"Be good, this water is useful to us. I can only give you a small portion. If you drink it all, our trip will be in vain."
After hearing what Changqing said, Shidan finally calmed down and entered the earring obediently.
Ling Yu was not surprised by the strange things on Chang Qing's body.
Changqing took a drop of green liquid and put it into his mouth. It tasted cool and had a special fragrance that filled his entire mouth.
Then, the drop of green liquid suddenly dispersed, and an extremely surging breath of life flowed along the throat and rushed to the limbs and bones. Several of his acupoints were opened up in an instant by this life force. This was not the end, the remaining life essence hid in the acupoints and silently nourished the flesh and blood.
Σ(っ °Д °;)っ! !
"Life Essence!" Chang Qing was shocked beyond belief and said in a lost voice. He finally determined what it was.
