Eternal Tranquility

"Speaking of which, why do I feel like after not seeing you for a few days, your cultivation level is higher than before?"

On the way to the Heavenly Sacrifice Old Man's Cave, Gui Bugui suddenly said as if chatting, but the look he looked at Liu Qinghuan seemed quite meaningful.

Liu Qinghuan was slightly startled: "Really? Maybe he had some insights while writing fairy tales, so he gained a little bit."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhenzhen, who was flying beside him on an ancient thunder eel. He was looking around curiously, and seemed to be disappointed with the dark and barren environment of the Abyss.

His cultivation level has indeed improved a bit, and he is close to the middle stage of integration. Apart from the fact that I did understand some of the true meaning when I was writing the fairy tale, drinking most of the bottle of Heavenly Essence and Earthly Milk also contributed a lot.

Although most of the majestic and pure spiritual power only passed through his body and flowed into the Qianqiu Reincarnation Pen, he still absorbed a lot of the mental skills and breathing that were running all the time. of.

Gui Bugui suddenly said, "That's right. Not to mention you, even I have made some progress in the Taoist rhyme emanating from the True Immortal Wen... Did you see the hole in front? We are here!"

The two finally arrived at the cave of Tianji Old Man. When they came in from the entrance, they saw several connected cave rooms dug out in the mountain. Each room was quite spacious, with sapphire floors and vermilion door curtains separating them. It is extremely simple, with only a few stone tables and chairs, and the bottom can be seen at a glance.

"Tsk, tsk!" The disgust on Gui Bugui's face couldn't be more obvious: "This cave is too shabby!"

Liu Qinghuan followed him through the front hall, and after looking at a few more cave rooms, he said, "It may also be because the old man Tianji is an ascetic monk."

Gui Bugui glanced at him: "That's why I can't stand you ascetic monks. Cultivation is already boring enough. Even the place where you live is made like a snow cave. I'm afraid that if you live more comfortably, your path will be cut off. After all, For what purpose?”

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while: "It's not that I don't know how to enjoy it. I'm probably used to it, or maybe I don't care, don't take it to heart, and don't bother to arrange it."

Gui Bugui sneered, opened an incense burner in the corner and looked inside: "There's nothing, but this burner is a bit interesting..."

Then he threw away the lid and curled his lips and said: "Forget it, it's just an ordinary spiritual weapon. You can collect a lot of it with ten spiritual stones on the street."

Liu Qinghuan turned around and looked around, and saw that the cauldron was half as tall as a man, with high legs and a lamp-like top. Its shape was something that can no longer be found in the world of immortality today. It was very ancient and elegant. And the quality is by no means as bad as Gui Bugui said. It seems to be at least an innate-level spiritual treasure.

He couldn't help but laugh: "If we can collect a bunch of ten spirit stones, I'm afraid the entire world of immortality will follow suit."

He passed by a row of empty shelves against the wall and wiped it with his hand. There was no dust on his fingertips: "This shelf should have been used to hold things, but they were all taken away. This shows that this cave was not originally like this. "

"Liu Qinghuan, look!"

Zhenzhen jumped up to him, holding a hazy purple bead in his hand.

"This is this?" Liu Qinghuan took it in surprise and found that it was actually a Buddhist bead, with vertical and horizontal wood grains on the surface. It looked like a natural Buddha. It was warm and moist in the hand, and seemed to have a warmth that made people feel calm.

"Where did you find it?"

"Over there." Zhenzhen pointed behind him, and a built-in wooden grid was revealed on the wall over there.

Liu Qinghuan looked at it and handed the Buddhist beads back to her hand: "Keep it well, it is a good Buddhist treasure, it will just help your character."

Zhenzhen obviously also liked this bead, so she happily and carefully put it away, turned around and ran away to look for it elsewhere.

Gui Bugui didn't seem to pay attention to what was happening here. He was squatting in front of an empty wall, pointing at the ground and saying: "Look here, there is a pattern!"

Liu Qinghuan walked over and saw mysterious lines on the sapphire paving like water waves.

"Only by being exposed to the lingering charm of Tao all year round can jade be imbued with such dense Tao patterns."

Taoist patterns are not uncommon in the caves of high-level monks. Because they sit and lie in one place all year round, the overflowing Taoism will leave traces on the surrounding equipment.

Gui Bugui stood up as he spoke: "This wall is also soaked with Taoism. It can be seen that behind the wall is most likely the training place of the old man Tianji, which is why it is like this."

He stretched out his hand, but the moment his fingertips touched the wall, he suddenly paused: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Gui Bugui suddenly took back his hand and stared at the Dao pattern on the wall with a solemn and shocked expression!

He gave way without saying a word and stepped aside in silence.

Liu Qinghuan was secretly surprised and wondered what happened that made Gui Bugui so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

"Senior, is there anything wrong with these Dao lines?"

Gui Bugui pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "You... feel it for yourself, and the way you have cultivated, um..."

Liu Qinghuan felt even more inexplicable. He carefully looked at the Taoist patterns on the wall and the floor, and suddenly felt that he could not see clearly. It was like the mountains and rivers in the mist, where shadows could not be seen; and like the sun and moon in the water, which could be seen but not touched.

Mysterious and ethereal.

"These Dao Marks are not left behind by practicing the Way of Life and Death!" Liu Qinghuan said. He has practiced the Way of Life and Death for many years and is very familiar with the Dao Marks. This is definitely not the case.

After taking a look at Gui Bugui who lowered his head and said nothing, he stretched out his hand. There was clearly a solid wall in front of him, but when he touched it, he felt nothing.

My mind was violently shaken, and an indescribable Dao intention swept across the sky and overwhelmingly. I felt that the world was indistinct, the world was ups and downs, everything was destroyed in one thought, and it seemed like hundreds of reincarnations in one thought.

I don't know how long it took before Liu Qinghuan suddenly broke away from the Taoist intention and staggered back several steps.

"This is, this is!"

Liu Qinghuan was shocked, turned his head, and met Shang Gui Bugui's complicated eyes. The two of them looked at each other with indescribable care.

"There are actually people in this world who practice..." After a while, he found his voice and said with difficulty: "Great! Fate! Luck! Technique!"

There are three thousand avenues, countless ways, but the Great Destiny Technique ranks first without any doubt.

Destiny is destiny, destiny is destiny. Destiny is determined by heaven and is a fixed number, but destiny is determined by oneself and cannot be changed. It is said that even the laws of heaven are difficult to determine.

"That's it, that's it!" Liu Qinghuan murmured: "Starting from the path of life and death, not only can reincarnation and cause and effect be derived, but it can also be transferred to the path of destiny..."

The way of destiny is far more difficult to cultivate than the way of cause and effect. Cause and effect can be traced back to the source, but fate is ever-changing.

Gui Bugui had calmed down now and couldn't help but marvel: "Old man Tianji is very ambitious. He dares to practice the Great Destiny Technique, haha! I have never heard of anyone in this world who can achieve this. It is said that this At the end of the road is the Dharma of eternal life, which can coexist with heaven and remain immortal for eternity.”

He grabbed Liu Qinghuan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Do you think the old man Tianji has completed his cultivation? Is he still alive at this time and sitting behind this wall, waiting for us to enter?"

Liu Qinghuan was speechless: "If the old man Tianji is really still alive, how can he allow others to set foot in the cave."

"That's right." Gui Bugui felt bored, threw away his hand and walked to the wall again: "What a pity, what a pity! Boy, this wall has been soaked with the meaning of destiny into a Taoist weapon. If you want to go through, I'm afraid It’s not easy. Is there anything you can do?”

Before Liu Qinghuan could answer, he heard footsteps approaching. Zhenzhen, who had been wandering around in some house for a long time, came back. Seeing them both facing the wall, they came over curiously.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't, don't come close..." Liu Qinghuan said quickly, but before she could stop him, Zhenzhen raised her hand and touched the wall, and then...

He and Gui Bugui watched Zhenzhen pass through the wall without any hindrance!
