Dao Fruit

The vast starry sky hides endless mysteries.

Countless star clusters and galaxies float in it. The star field where Donghua is located is not even a drop in the ocean, just like dust, but at the edge of this dust, there are huge nebulae surrounding it.

These clusters of nebulae are so large that it is difficult to describe them in words. They cover and wrap the entire galaxy around them. If it were not for the chaotic airflow outside Donghua, I am afraid that this dust would have been submerged by the nebula.

Compared with Donghua, Yuan Mushi and his party are not so lucky.

Donghua is just dust relative to the starry sky, but it is the whole world for them. There are borders everywhere on the vast land of Da Rui, but at this time the sky exploded, and colorful clouds fell, completely engulfing the northwest mountain pass. Yuan Mushi, who was at the border, was naturally trapped in it at the first time.

Even the black-haired monkey noticed something, and rode on the clouds, not escaping, but shouting and rushing forward, as if to kill the "demon" in the turbulent light and shadow, but how could it be done? It was swallowed by the light and shadow after just one encounter.

As for the mad cow, it was calm, with yin and yang in its eyes, and there was a taste of seeing through the mundane. It was the body controlled by the projection of the Nine Nether Lord. Seeing this, it just sighed, as if it had expected it.

"Cross the mountain pass, encounter the end of the catastrophe..."

In contrast, the man transformed by the scaled giant was honest and had no intention of escaping. Seeing this, he took a few steps forward, raised his broad arms, and protected Yuan Musi's head, trying to shield him, but then the light and shadow were fierce, blowing him away!

As for the eight-armed dragon, it had turned into a camel in the Western Regions before, and now it has turned into a tall horse. It was also unwilling to be drowned, so it wanted to change back to its own body, but it was still a step too slow, and the halo behind it had just appeared. was covered by colorful light and shadow.

Except for Yuan Muxi and his group, other people inside and outside the mountain pass, whether they were passing merchants, guarding soldiers, or ordinary people, only heard the whistling of the wind, and countless light and shadows fell on their heads. There was no time to breathe, and the vision in their eyes was filled with these light and shadows, nothing else!

"Help! Help!"

"What happened!"

"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

Shouting. The calls for help eventually turned into flashy shadows in the colorful world, and it was also a trace of sound left in the world.

………………

"Wake up... wake up..."

The whisper in the ear gradually became clear, as if the mother calling the wanderer to return was speaking.

"Hmm?" He trembled in his heart, then opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and saw an ancient and simple house with carved beams and painted buildings.

On the table in the house, there was an incense burner. The hollow patterns at the corners described the old things of the previous dynasty.

Looking around, he could see several paintings and calligraphy on the wall. The words were strong and powerful. Each stroke seemed like a general wielding a sword on the battlefield, and the painting was lifelike, and he was immersed in it, as if he could hear the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.

"Here is..." His head hurt a little. He felt as if he had had a very long dream, but the content of the dream was vague and invisible.

"Yuan'er, you finally woke up!" At this time. A slightly crying voice came from the side. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a graceful and luxurious woman with fair skin. At first glance, she was pampered.

However, the moment he saw the woman's face, his head hurt violently. The scene and furnishings in the room, the face and voice of the person in front of him, gave him a sense of familiarity, but there was a deep gap, as if he had experienced all this in a distant place, time and space, but it was so strange, as if all this had long been far away from him.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Yuan'er, listen to mother, people from the academy came several times and sent some pills to you to recuperate. Your teacher also sent someone to let you study with peace of mind. In fact, according to mother, you don't have to study too hard. You vomited blood, which means your heart and lungs are injured. Don't take it lightly..."

As he heard these voices, his mind became more and more confused, but some memories came to his mind, as if treasures that had been silent for many years reappeared in front of him through layers of fog, but gave him a sense of alienation.

"No! No!"

Suddenly, he got off the bed abruptly, and walked out the door step by step regardless of his sore limbs.

"I shouldn't be here! After going through so many hardships and obstacles and crossing so many mountains, I can't stop here!"

Such a thought filled his heart in an instant, and there was no room for other words and sounds. The woman's call beside him gradually faded away. Only the sunlight outside the door fell on him, warm and lazy, and made him hesitate for a moment.

But it was only a moment.

The thoughts and emotions of peace, comfort, warmth, etc. passed through his mind one by one, like peerless beauties, ready to be picked. This was an indescribable temptation for someone who had experienced wind, frost, snow and rain and had been traveling for several years. However, driven by that firm intention, the raised foot still fell without hesitation.

Falling outside the threshold.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky changed color, the warm sunshine outside the house disappeared, and it became gray. The sky that was cloudless a moment ago was now covered with dark clouds, and the cold and biting north wind blew over.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck, but still moved forward step by step.

"Stop! If you go forward, you will lose this opportunity to find yourself!"

The majestic voice came from all directions, as if seven or eight people were speaking at the same time, and countless invisible forces poured out. The various scenes inside included a myriad of things, including the faint stove fire in the home, the debilitating energy that corroded people's hearts, and... The vast sky and the unfathomable darkness...

All these things are so arrogant, any one of them can make people have the heart to worship, but in the past few years, he has experienced all kinds of things, sharpened his heart, and toughened his heart!

Another step forward!

After this step, the cold wind stopped, the clouds in the sky solidified, everything seemed to have become a picture scroll, and he was the only living thing in the picture, and he was about to escape from it!

At this time, a sound like thunder exploded in his ears!

"Original Mu Xi! Xi Muyuan! If you continue to move forward, you will fall into other people's traps! Make wedding clothes for others! Your life will be a joke! In the end, you won't even know who you are!"

Hearing the three words "Original Mu Xi", he suddenly woke up and finally recalled all the previous events. Countless memories surged in like a river bursting its banks, making him realize what had happened to him.

"Yes, in that mountain pass, I was going to get my wish soon, but the result was a sudden change..."

This thought was extremely fast, a few minutes faster than a human speaking, but then the three words "Xi Muyuan" came into his ears again, making him slightly stunned, as if he felt something, and the words that followed were even more confusing. Ming Ming then exhaled a breath, his eyes still firm.

"There are always constraints in a person's life. The ups and downs have their own destiny. It is normal for someone to determine my destiny. What's more, I have encountered so many powerful people along the way and encountered all kinds of things. They all have their own destiny and helplessness. How can I I stopped eating because I was choked. Besides, who am I and who am I? What does it have to do with me seeking the Tao? If I find the Tao and learn the truth, I can calm my mind even if I don’t spread it to all people..."

As he spoke, he took another step forward.

When this step fell, the surrounding scenes that had been motionless for a long time were shattered with a "crash", and even the gloomy and gloomy sky was shattered, turning into countless fragments and falling down, revealing the colorful colors behind, but then the cause and effect between heaven and earth Scroll rapidly, many beautiful scenes, all rolled back into the sky, returned to a crack in the sky, and returned to the small world of Yin and Yang.

Then, the cracks in the sky disappeared, and the surrounding scene completely returned to its original state. It was still the scene just now, still bustling with people, soldiers at the border, and traders passing by.

Everyone just rubbed their eyes, shook their heads, and thought about their past, and everyone gained something.

"Huh? Why are you here? I remember that I have returned to the canyon and am at ease..." The black-haired monkey was still in front of Yuan Muxi, scratching his head with confusion on his face.

"Congratulations, little master." Behind him, Mad Cow smiled calmly and held his hands in greeting.

Click, click, click. The strong man transformed from a man in scale armor hurried over from afar, accompanied by a horse transformed from an eight-armed divine dragon. Neither of these two things restrained themselves. Every step shook, and their feet were imprinted.

Looking at this scene, Yuan Muxi took a long breath, smiled and said: "Everyone, the road is ahead, please continue." His smile was particularly comfortable, and his mood was even more comfortable, as if he had been weighing on his heart for a long time. It's like a stone has been moved away.

The monkeys and others listened, each had his own thoughts, but they all acted as he was told.

Just as they passed through the mountain pass and entered the capital from the northwest, a dot of crystal light appeared in the sky, and then disappeared in a flash...

This crystal sparkle appeared in Jie Sha's thoughts at the next moment, and then the thoughts turned into reality, turning from virtual to real, and landed on his forehead.

Counting the eighty crystals originally distributed everywhere, there are now ninety-nine and eighty-one!

Qiu Yan's thoughts moved, and he spoke softly: "It was difficult to travel eastward, and I went through tribulations. With the protection of my supernatural powers, and my physical body carrying my thoughts, I have ended this tribulation, and the true way can be seen!"

On the opposite side, the bloody light was so intense that no other object could be seen, suppressing all the sources of the calamity. Only the last bit of persistence was left, which was integrated with Qiu Yan's half body.

But even this little thought is still being ground by eighty-one millstones, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time!

"It's a little faster than expected. Even if there are my arrangements along the way, he can turn danger into luck and become the person who deserves the disaster. But without his own firm will, how can he embark on such a journey?" A path? This kind of determination cannot be given to him by others, but now is the time for me to express my own will!"

With a change of thought, all eighty-one crystals exploded!

"Explode! Explode! Explode!" (To be continued...)
