I will survive with proficiency

northern desert.

In a small mortal village.

At this time, it is the season of the vernal equinox, everything is recovering, the breeze is accompanied by greenery, and the drizzle is as expensive as oil.

It is also the busiest time for farming.

"Brother Manniu, our task today is to irrigate that field so that the farmer can grow it as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the season." Another young man who was carrying water in the river spoke.

The young man who was called a bull grinned:

"okay!"

The young man is wearing a coir hat and a coarse linen suit. It easily picked up two huge buckets and drove them briskly to the farmer's field.

The bearded farmer followed behind with a load of farm manure. The load of farm manure was far less heavy than those two buckets, but he found that his speed could not keep up with the young man in front, so he couldn't help laughing and cursing:

"Hey, it's really a bull."

"Hey, brother Man Niu, why are you so strong? Tell me, brother, I also want to carry a tripod with one arm." The bearded and rough man worked hard to catch up.

The bullish young man smiled:

"I don't know either. I have eaten a lot since I was a child, and I have great strength. That's just my talent."

The bearded farmer chuckled:

"Brother, you are handsome and strong, among other things, according to my opinion, all the good-looking girls in our village have taken a fancy to you."

"Yesterday, Aunt Zhang came to our house again and asked if you are interested in the daughter of Wang Mazi, the head of the village. Her daughter is like her mother. There is no pockmark on her face. She looks fresh and fresh. She said she likes you. You Why don’t you look down on me? How many boys are thinking about that girl.”

The bullish young man was carrying two buckets half a person's height, without blushing or panting, he just smiled and said:

"I'm still young and don't want to have a family."

"Hey." The rough bearded man grinned:

"Let me tell you, I don't like it. You've been living in my house all these years, and you don't have to go anywhere. Anyway, you won't be hungry, and you have enough food. I'll introduce my sister to you when my sister comes back in two years. "

"Don't laugh, my sister doesn't look like me, she's pretty."

"..."

The two of them carried water and farmyard manure to the vegetable field in a hey-hee-hee manner.

In the vegetable field, an old man and an old woman are working. They are the parents of the thick bearded man.

"Come on? Why do you pick so many bulls? Slow down, don't hurt your waist. You know, don't pick less in the future. Don't think about it when you are young. When you are old, you will be in poor health. Like your uncle. Same, when I was young, I was also very strong, hey, now my waist is bad." The old woman beckoned the bull to put down the bucket.

"Why are you talking about me again?" The old man blushed.

"It's okay." Man Niu grinned, scanned the fields already planted with crops, and some fields waiting to be replanted, and said:

"Aunt Wang, which field do you think I will water first?"

"Sit down first, don't worry." The old woman sat down on the ridge of the field with the young man pulling the bull:

"This farmer has to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Pick up a load of water, don't rush to water it when you arrive in the field, take a rest to catch your breath and then water, and then take a rest after watering, and then continue to pick the second one. Carry water."

"Some young people are impatient and don't like to listen to what the old people say. They always want to do everything in one go. What's the result? Don't talk about being tired, and they feel more and more boring and boring in these farm work."

"As time goes by, I don't want to do it anymore."

"But, how can this farm work be done? It's not a fun thing to stop and sit once in a while. Look at it now, you're sitting here with my old lady and chatting. It's not a good thing."

"My mother understands the truth." The bearded man teased.

"Stinky boy, what do I understand? You know how to make fun of your mother." The old woman scolded.

The old woman patted the bull on the shoulder, signaling the bull to rest for a while, and then went to the crop field to weed.

The bullish young man didn't know it.

As if entering a state of epiphany.

This person is Chen Ping.

Sixteen years ago, he walked out of the Lingxiao Sect and traveled all over the land of Xizhou, just seeking a little insight.

But can't get it all the time.

Over the years, he has practiced almost all of his spells to the Dzogchen level.

During the period, I also traveled all over the major cities of cultivating immortals. Except for the liquid of the five elements, most of the other resources I wanted have already been auctioned.

But now listening to the old woman's hard work, it reaches the soul.

yes.

Why hasn't he been on his way all these years?

While traveling in the clouds, my state of mind has been seeking a certain purpose, and I have never stopped to rest.

Seeking the Great Perfection of spells, seeking the liquid of the five elements, seeking magic tools such as jade beds, seeking great enlightenment, and comprehending the Tao taught by the golden elixir...

Until I came to this small mortal village two years ago, I turned into a bull and lived in this simple farmer's house.

It's really 'slow' down.

Want nothing.

It can be regarded as the real start of the "cloud tour" in the state of mind.

In fact, not only the sixteen years of Yunyou, since he came to this world, why hasn't he been 'on the road'?

Because I am afraid of this dangerous world, until there are too many unknowns outside, I dare not have the slightest pause.

Force yourself to run forward non-stop.

'Slow down, don't rush. '

‘Take your time, take it easy. '

He doesn't know what other people's Tao is like, but this may be the 'Tao' he has been looking for since his wanderings.

this moment.

Chen Ping felt as if there were shocking waves in his body, and countless auras were rolling in his body.

The rapid flow hits the dantian.

On the contrary, his state of mind was extremely peaceful.

In his eyes, these turbulent waves are the ebb and flow of nature.

It is a beautiful scenery worth admiring.

He felt as if he was lying on an empty grassland, there was no one in the distance, only the vast green grass, rolling up layers of grass waves in the breeze.

And he just put his hands behind his head like that, lying on the grass, admiring the clouds and clouds, and enjoying the feeling of the spring breeze on his face.

That feeling is very comfortable.

Straight to the comfort of the soul.

At this moment, Chen Ping on the edge of Tian Kan entered a state of ecstasy.

A dao image based on him gradually emerged and slowly lifted into the sky.

The Taoist image of meditation and practice is getting bigger and bigger, covering the entire field, village, and sky.

The bearded man turned his head to see this scene, and was shocked:

"Brother bull!"

The two old men also saw this scene, and their breathing was rapid, and the old woman was the first to react:

"It's a fairy."

Living in his home for more than two years, the man who ate and lived with him turned out to be a fairy.

Not only them, but all the farmers working in the fields in the distance saw this scene.

The same is true for the villagers in the village.

Everyone admired the brilliant immortal figure in the sky.

This is the first time countless people have seen a real fairy in their lives.

"That's a fairy face, don't look directly at it, be careful of hurting your mind." Someone shouted, and all the villagers knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to look directly at this inviolable fairy face.

In the sky, Chen Ping completely emptied himself.

Let this great realization free and complete.

All the experiences of these years are constantly emerging in front of his eyes like a movie.

The experience of self-comprehension, the experience of hearing, the experience of actual combat. All the insights of practice seem to have become substantive substances, stripped from these pictures.

Floating into Chen Ping's sea of ​​consciousness like wisps of floating sand.

In Chen Ping's sea of ​​consciousness, sand gathered to form hills, constantly gathering and growing.

The unreasonable truths over the years have gradually become clear, and the unsystematic truths have gradually formed a complete system.

The Taoism in the sky is also constantly growing.

hundreds of miles away.

An old man carried a little girl on his back through a forest, heading for the Demon Sect in the north.

"Grandpa, what are we doing in Beimo?" The little girl with two braids raised her head and asked.

The old man smiled kindly:

"This continent is sick, grandpa, come and find the cause."

"Grandpa is a doctor?" The little girl pouted.

"Doctor? Haha, in a sense, grandpa is indeed a doctor."

The grandfather and grandson were chatting and walking slowly. At this moment, they suddenly saw a vision in the sky floating out of nowhere from the south, and couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Grandpa, is that the Taoism you mentioned? Is there someone who is enlightening?" The little girl has seen a lot, and immediately recognized that this is the Taoism of the immortal.

The old man nodded:

"Well, that's Daoxiang."

"The Dao phase of great enlightenment."

"However, there is form but not gathering, color but not purity, strength but not stability. This person's primordial spirit is not strong, and it is difficult to become a climate."

"Oh!" The little girl scratched her head.

But in the next breath, the dao phase floating in the air suddenly grew bigger, the color was more warm, and the dao rhyme was more abundant.

The old man froze for a moment, observed again and said:

"The 'color' has come up, and the lines are gradually gathering together. It's a pity, it's a pity, the rhyme of the lower body is not stable, at best it can only be regarded as the appearance of a middle-aged man, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a great talent in the future."

"Oh!" The little girl scratched her head again.

But at this moment, Dao Xiang became stronger again, Dao rhyme gathered together, and it was extremely majestic.

The old man froze, glanced back at the granddaughter he was carrying, cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, I underestimate this person. However, from the point of view of Daoism, he has form but lacks meaning. It can be seen that the strength of the soul and the state of mind are not solid enough, and he is a little eager for success. Well, it is difficult to become a real vertical and horizontal talent. "

"Your grandfather has always been a very good person"

Before the words were finished, Taoism was abundant again, and the combination of form and meaning was overwhelming.

"Ahem, this."

Seeing what Grandpa wanted to say, the little girl covered Grandpa's mouth with one hand:

"Grandpa, don't talk about it anymore. If you talk about it, this person will become number one in the world."

"Cough, cough!" The old man blushed.

Coughing in embarrassment, he looked again at the gradually abundant and perfect Daoxiang, staring at it for a long time, before heading north with his granddaughter on his back.

In the farmland.

Chen Ping sensed the incomparable comprehension of his state of mind, and knew that he had completed the "great comprehension" that he had been chasing for sixteen years.

As soon as he moved his mind, the Taoism in the sky suddenly disappeared.

With a 'swoosh', it went straight into the sky.

Now that the Great Enlightenment has been successfully completed, there is no need to stay in this simple village any longer.

Gotta go back.

Go to jiedan.

After Chen Ping disappeared suddenly, the three members of the bearded and rough family raised their heads slightly and looked at the empty sky.

"Mother, Dad, I heard the voice transmission from the Man Niu brother, and the Man Niu brother said thank you to me." The rough man with beard and beard turned his head to look at his parents.

"I heard that too." The old woman nodded.

So is the old man.

That sound of solemnity was gratitude to them for taking care of them like a family in the past two years.

It is also a thank you to them for making me realize.

The rough bearded man threw down the shovel and ran home regardless of the yellow mud on his legs.

The two old men hurriedly followed behind.

Back in the shabby hut, the bearded man rummaged under the bed for a while, and was shocked by the situation below.

It was a golden pile of gold and silver.

At least thousands of taels of gold.

There are also thousands of taels of silver.

It is an amount that they will never earn in their lifetime.

The two old men who ran up behind were also stunned.

"It's a good thing that the bull has become a fairy."

"He is still a kind and righteous fairy. But, how can our grain for the past two years be worth so much gold?"

Chen Ping flew south all the way, until night, before stopping in a deserted grotto.

There is no rush to return, but to stop and digest the psychological benefits brought about by the great enlightenment.

It was not until three days later that the benefits were fully digested.

‘Spirit refining, body refining and realm have all been cultivated, and now I have completed my great comprehension. '

'Just wait for the pill formation. '

‘It’s just that the fluids of the five elements currently only have fire fluid and earth fluid, and they still lack gold, wood, and water fluids. '

'Forget it, I didn't look around anymore, I just went back to Tianyan City and waited to see if I would be lucky enough to appear at the auction. If it does, that's best, if it doesn't, forget it. '

'Wait for half a year, if you don't get it within half a year, you can directly form a pill. '

The liquid of the five elements is hard to find. Over the years, he has inquired every time he passes Sanxiu City, and has participated in several auctions, but he has only seen this liquid released in two auctions.

It is not easy to force.

If it doesn't work, you can only wait for the pill to be formed and then use other methods to make up for it.

With this in mind, Chen Ping put away the formation and the mid-grade futon of the third rank, walked out of the grotto, and drove the wind shuttle to the south.

Although he has been wandering in the North Desert for the past few years, he has not gone deep into the hinterland of the North Desert for safety reasons, but has been wandering around the edge of the North Desert near the south.

As long as you cross a few forests and deserts, you can enter the border of the Western Wilderness.

One and a half months later, Chen Ping appeared in Tianyan City.

I booked a room in an inn, and meditated for a day and a night to repair my fatigue.

Afterwards, he fell asleep again, and after waking up, he called the maid of the inn to take a balm bath.

Sixteen years of wind and dust were washed away.

"It's refreshing!"

Chen Ping put on a brand new costume and felt that he had returned to a familiar life.

Staying in a familiar environment makes people feel at ease.

'It's been sixteen years, and I don't know if Yun Haitang is safe or not? '

'Fairy Xiyue has been out of food for more than a year, I don't know if that girl has interrupted Yu Lingchun's treatment. '

'I'll go and see Yu Lingchun later. Then stay in Tianyan City for another half a year, at most half a year, and then return to Xiaozhufeng. '

Now that the decision has been made, Chen Ping immediately set off to visit Tian Yanzong.

I saw the disciple guarding the mountain gate again.

It's just that this time the disciple guarding the mountain gate became more enthusiastic. He led Chen Ping into the VIP room of the station to rest and poured tea again.

He also asked his disciples to report the letter.

Other than that, everything else is the same as what I saw on the trip more than ten years ago.

"Ten years" is just a snap of the fingers in the long journey of immortality.

Chen Ping waited at the mountain gate for a while, and soon Yu Lingchun came with a sword.

I haven't seen her for many years, and Yu Lingchun doesn't seem to have changed much in appearance.

Wearing her favorite white emerald flower robe, she outlined a youthful figure. The oval face is pink and translucent, the big eyes are clear and pure, and the two shallow lying silkworms under the eye sockets make her look pitiful.

Decades later, she is still a young girl.

A young girl full of youth.

"Husband."

Seeing Chen Ping waiting in the station, she threw herself into Chen Ping's arms as soon as she saw her regardless of her image.

Hold Chen Ping tightly.

Haven't seen it for decades.

"Husband, Lingchun misses you so much."

...This girl doesn't even look at the occasion.

...and there are people.

Chen Ping smiled awkwardly, until the guide left with a smile on his face, and only the two of them were left in the station.

Chen Ping rubbed her head:

"Okay, isn't it here?"
