Chapter 2 Bai Li
My name is Bai Li, and it is a pear tree full of white flowers but cannot bear fruit. This name was given to me by Hongyi. Hongyi is a butterfly that likes to live on my branches. It has been there since the moment I became conscious. It said it likes the taste of me, and there is no reason. Hongyi is an old monster. It practices to the human body earlier than me, and most of my practice is guided by it.
Later I realized that the human form it transformed was a young woman in red. At that time, she fell in love with humans whom she shouldn't have fallen in love with. She lived on my branches to heal her wounds. She said that I had a strange function that could heal the wounds of things that had been cultivated into spirits. This is probably why I didn't bear fruit and could gain consciousness by myself at such a young age. But I don't care much about these. Sometimes when she was in a good mood, she would tell me some of the human world.
Things have always made me yearn for this world. She occasionally talks about her past experiences, which are always intermittent, and I can't understand. Because I am just conscious, but I have not cultivated my mind, and I cannot feel joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. But from her tone, I can tell different feelings from me, and I don't want to understand them. It was not until I met Mo Li, and probably when I met Mo Li, that I really experienced it myself, why I feel affection. Since then, I began a story full of entanglements and complexity.
Meeting Mo Li is the beginning of my life and the end of my life. I am no longer just a monster, but like a human being. Now I am recalling everything that happened here, not just Mo Li, but all of this makes me suffer and thankful, even though my heart has been gone now.
I remember that the day I just met Mo Li, I was just able to transform into a human form. In practice, I usually follow several stages. The gradual appearance of my consciousness, and without my consciousness, I have no feelings and cannot practice. Therefore, this level is also very difficult. Many animals and plants will only repeat their own things by relying on basic reflections, unless they are forced to open with the help of a person with high spiritual power. With consciousness, then practice the mind and how the mind is cultivated depends on personal understanding. The shape of the mind is divided into invisible, angular, round, heart-shaped, exquisite semi-transparent and exquisite transparent shapes. The shape of the mind is generally fixed when it is formed, which determines the future of practice. It cannot be reshaped, but can reflect the natural spiritual power and understanding. Of course, some people will have new variables after experiencing the thunder tribulation, which is also a very rare situation.
The red-clothed one is the heart shape, like a human. If you cultivate your mind, you can cultivate your appearance and your body shape. Appearance and body shape change with your heart, and you can also directly cultivate it and cannot change. If you cultivate this, you will enter the upper stage. Whether you choose to cultivate yourself or continue to practice the great way, that is, to become a spirit, an immortal, and a Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva is the highest level, and only humans can cultivate a Buddha above the Bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas cultivated by monsters are often low-level and cannot handle human things. The methods of cultivating people and continuing to practice are different, so you must choose.
Under the guidance of Hongyi, I only spent half of her time to cultivate my heart. My heart was a rare and exquisite heart at the moment of cultivation. It was only at that moment that it then became turbid and eventually became a human heart. Hongyi saw the whole process at that time, and she was so shocked that she asserted and talked randomly for many days.
She looked at me seriously several times and said, "Did you see it?" "It's Linglongxin, what's going on? I've never encountered such a thing before, and I can change it back by myself. How fresh, I saw it all. Oh, it's so bad, what's going on, what's going on, you magical little monster." I didn't know much, so I could only watch her silently talking to herself, occasionally interjecting, "You taught me so well." After five or six days like this, Hongyi left. This was the first time I separated from her. She said she was going to check my situation and would come back after a while. In fact, this period was very long. She had been walking for thirty years, and I wandered alone for several years.
In the first twenty years after Hongyi left, I was really bored. I practiced the mental method she left behind every day and the mental method she had made into a human form. I don’t know what I could do, but I was still looking forward to it. Occasionally, a small animal lying under my tree to rest. One or two consciously would talk to me. From their conversation, I realized that this forest was very big, there was an old tree demon who had already cultivated, and the manager of this forest. The purpose was to put peace first. There were two sisters Hua Erduoer who had cultivated his mind but had not yet cultivated into a human form. They were flower spirits. Hongyi and I, they knew us, and before Hongyi left, I didn’t know these things and had never seen other conscious animals. They all said that Hongyi was too fierce. Before I was conscious, I always lost my temper and injured many passing brothers and sisters, so few dared to provoke her.
Later, the old tree spirit came to see me and called him Grandpa Shu. He guided me to practice my mental skills. Unexpectedly, under the guidance of Grandpa Shu, I could become a human form in twenty years, but it could only last for one or two hours. The human form I made was a woman. I thought I looked more beautiful, and women were the most beautiful. When I first became a human form, I ran far away excitedly before finding a small lake where I could roughly see my appearance.
It was a beautiful woman, wearing white clothes but not rigid, smiling like a clever smile, her skin like a macaque, and dancing like a fairy falling from the sky. I was very satisfied with my appearance, and stood up and ran, and kept running. For me, who was a tree, the running was extremely happy at this moment. Since I didn't pay attention to the road when I ran, at least when I suddenly realized this, I no longer knew where I was. I walked back and forth for a long time, but still couldn't find where I was.
There was a strange area around me. I tried to scream Grandpa Tree, hoping it could hear it. However, after just two screams, my body turned back into the tree, and I was very sleepy. After this time, I could roughly know how long my body could last. I found out from the conscious plants around me that this was a valley, and almost few moving creatures passed by, which meant that I could not let other animals help me lead the conversation with Grandpa Tree.
"Take all things first, the mind method is the concentration, and my body is shaping..." Since I can't go back, it's the same everywhere, I will continue to practice the mind method. At night, waves of wolf cries suddenly sounded, from far to near, which was too noisy. When I wanted to use my branches to detect the situation, a white animal appeared in my field of vision. It swayed, looking around, as if avoiding something. I understood that the wolf cries must be related to him. When I could see it clearly, I shook my branches towards it. More than half of the white flowers on my branches fell. I don't know if it was conscious, but it did walk towards me and lie down in the place where the petals were piled up.
It was a little fox, with snow-white hair all over its body stained with some soil and blood. My white petals intersected with it, showing a white dizzy color. It actually fell asleep, and the original silence of the night quickly recovered.
I have been wondering many times whether I appeared there that day to save him and meet him. I don’t know if I regretted it, but the pain along the way was clearly imprinted in my heart. Why did that heart, from beginning to end, follow his shadow?
If it were just like the first meeting, who could resist all the first time?
As it turned out, I saved a handsome little fox. When I walked out of my cultivation the next day, I saw a pair of brown eyes, looking at me constantly. The fox not only recovered, but also turned into a human body.
"You are indeed extraordinary. Thank you for saving my life yesterday, but you seem to have good cultivation." I said, "That's natural. It's just that I have just cultivated into a human body and cannot use it as I want. What about you, why were you so down yesterday?"
He smiled, which made me feel a little confused, "I just had just cultivated myself and accidentally hit a wolf's nest. I was outnumbered and naturally at a disadvantage."
I shook my branches to express my sympathy. I looked at him carefully, wearing a white dress, with long hair tied up, and stood up floating, no matter how different it was than me, and I was very dissatisfied. He seemed to know what I meant, smiled, and stood in the air, "How about it, are you very chic?"
I ignored him and continued to practice, and then I entered my consciousness.
When I woke up from my practice, two days had passed. I thought that guy had left. When I sighed, I found him beside me, meditating and calming. He heard the movement, and he turned his head to look at me who had turned into a human form.
"Tsk tsk, this beauty is difficult to mountains, rivers, flowers and birds, and it is difficult to compare with ordinary things! I am impressed."
I glared at him, "Are you waiting to see me, and then want to take the opportunity to ridicule me? Sorry, I disappoint you." I waved my head and didn't want to see him.
"That's not. Look, I've just practiced into human form, and I don't have any friends. I just want to be with you, at least have a mouth that can make a sound." I curled my lips and looked him up and down, feeling that there was no reason to refuse, and said to him: "Then let me go with you."
I took him to the gathering place of our big family. He nodded while observing. It was so good. He sighed and said that he would not leave for the time being. I glanced at him and expressed his displeasure. He laughed and walked over and touched my head. I was about to hit him, but he turned around to communicate with Grandpa Shu. Finally, he practiced with me, and he was higher than me, so he could help me solve my doubts. After all, my roots were not here and I had to go back alone, and it was convenient for him to go back and forth.
