?

At the entrance of the courtyard, there are two green and green welcoming pines. Follow the stone path around the pines. The scenery in the courtyard suddenly becomes brighter, reflecting the sky and the distant mountain scenery. The lake water appears emerald blue.

The fine white sand is spread on the edge of the lake, contrasting with the lake water.

The maple tree, which seems to be in a constant state of autumn, stands like a beauty by the lake, spreading its fiery red leaves and swaying in the wind.

The small buildings by the lake are also very unique.

Looking in through the open window, two girls in gorgeous dresses were still embroidering handkerchiefs and playing around.

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Ying Shu didn't say anything!" Ye Chuxiao was stunned.

Then the two girls also discovered Ye Chuxiao. When they saw Ye Chuxiao, they were stunned at first, but then they seemed to understand, and they both jumped out of the small building lightly.

Then in mid-air, the two of them turned into two light and beautiful butterflies. Judging from the color of their wings, they were exactly the same as the colors of the dresses they were wearing.

The butterfly flew to Ye Chuxiao's side, and then turned into a beautiful girl, kneeling at Ye Chuxiao's feet: "Yi Feng, Lan Ying, have met the master!"

Butterfly demon?

Ye Chuxiao was still in a daze.

But he didn't feel the evil spirit in these two girls.

"No! It can't be a demon. There are no demons in Shenjing City. It's just that almost every demon will be registered in the special Demon Household Department. Someone will come to inquire every month. The management is strict."

"Since Ying Shu has hidden herself from the other courtyard, she will not cause trouble again. They should be 'shu users', also known as 'Shikigami', magic cultivators, beast control masters, demon sealing masters, spiritual masters, etc."

Everyone has similar means, which can transform spiritual objects into human forms and control them."

"Compared with demons, these 'magic users' exist dependent on their creators and are far inferior in terms of independence."

"Of course, since they were enlightened by Ying Shu, they can naturally recognize my identity according to the breath of the heart elixir."

Ye Chuxiao opened his mouth and said to the two butterfly magic users: "It seems that you already know who I am. I will take care of you in my daily life from now on."

The two butterfly magicians immediately said in unison: "Yes!"

Ye Chuxiao didn't pay much attention to them, and took the lead to walk into the small waterside building, and found an elegant place to sit by the window to enjoy the maple leaves.

Two butterfly magicians immediately served refreshments.

"Go and find all the books about this place, the wonderland, and the state of death. I want to read them." Ye Chuxiao picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, then ordered.

Among the two butterfly magic users, the girl Lan Ying, who looked rounder and more childish, with a faint smile, looked at Ye Chuxiao's hand holding the cake, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and felt a little reluctant to leave.

I followed my sister to move books.

When he turned his head away, he pouted.

After a while, two butterfly magicians brought two large piles of books and stacked them at Ye Chuxiao's hands for easy browsing.

Then he looked at Ye Chuxiao eagerly, as if he didn't know what to do next.

"Go and play by yourself!" Ye Chuxiao waved his hand.

The two butterfly magicians immediately retreated.

Ye Chuxiao was completely immersed in the world of books.

This lasted most of the day. By the time Ye Chuxiao came back to his senses, it was completely dark.

During the butterfly spell, Yi Feng, who seemed to have a more mature temperament, was carefully flicking the wick on the side. She held a bamboo stick in her delicate hands and flicked it from a distance, as if she was afraid that the weak flame would splash it.

On the body.

"There's no need to go to such trouble. Even if the night is as dark as ink, as long as there is a glimmer of light, I can see without any hindrance."

"Where's Lan Ying?" Ye Chuxiao put down the book in his hand and stretched his body and asked.

"She has rested. Do you need me to wake her up?" Yi Feng asked cautiously.

Judging from her appearance, she didn't look like she was used to serving others. She was just cautious and cautious, but she didn't have a very clear idea.

Apparently Ying Shu inspired them to take care of the courtyard, then left it aside and allowed them to rest here freely.

Perhaps, if Ye Chuxiao hadn't mentioned it, Ying Shu would have forgotten about this courtyard and the two butterfly envoys who casually enlightened it.

"I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Ye Chuxiao shook his head and asked Yifeng.

Yifeng said: "When the master left, he had already spent all the money he left behind. The pastries that the master just ate were the ones that Lan Ying and I got in exchange for doing needlework, and they are all gone now... But there are still Lan Ying and I."

Does the master want to use the nectar that Yingying brewed?"

Ye Chuxiao nodded, and at the same time he took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to Yifeng.

"You can use these silver coins first. It's time to buy replacement items in the courtyard."

"I don't have enough money anymore, I want it any more!" Ye Chuxiao said.

Yifeng took the money bag with a very obvious look of joy on his face.

The strength and ability of a magician are determined by the practitioner who enlightens them.

When Ying Shu initiated the two butterfly envoys, she only intended to use them as maids, so naturally she did not give them any more abilities.

After Ying Shu forgot about them, although they did not have to eat three meals a day like ordinary people, it was not easy to live in this huge city.

Now we have a new owner, Ye Chuxiao, who seems to have a good temper... What's more important is that he finally gave him money, which made Yi Feng sigh a big sigh of relief.

Seeing Ye Chuxiao's tired face, Yifeng took the initiative and asked: "Master, is there anything that makes you confused?"

Then she continued: "I have read most of the books in the courtyard, and I can still remember some of the contents. Maybe I can help the master answer questions."

Ye Chuxiao thought for a while, and then said: "There is a saying in the book that all monks who want to enter the wonderful realm from the realm of energy need to sit on the threshold of death. The so-called sitting on the threshold of death is to feel the way of death and life. Sitting on death and looking at life, you should

The thoughts of all living beings lead to the wonder of eternal life."

"What does the word "Infinite Life" here mean?"

The knowledge that Ye Chuxiao had learned before was actually very general. More detailed and detailed things still need to be answered in another way.

In fact, there is no other basis for starting from Mongolian studies, and monks who have set foot in the realm of energy are already extremely rare.

A few monks who were born in the common people were able to purchase spiritual roots, and those monks who entered the realm of spiritual cultivation also came from wealthy families and had their own people to teach them.

If Ye Chuxiao is confused, of course he can ask Jin Sanniang and others, but now that Yifeng is here, it might be the same thing to ask her.

"Infinite life means a life span that is not disturbed by the outside world. Monks who can sense the thoughts of all living beings, sit at the gate of death, and enter the wonderful realm, in addition to normal life extension, also have endless life. This life span is only related to the thoughts of their own souls.

It is relevant and does not involve foreign matters.”

"That is to say, even if the life span of the Miaojing cultivator is over, and the Miaojing monk is dead in the eyes of everyone, his thoughts will still not dissipate, and will echo in the void, and will not completely disappear until the timeless life is over.

"

When Ye Chuxiao heard this, he immediately understood.

What is enhanced by the wonderful realm is the life span of the monk's soul, which is also called the endless life span.

Even if the physical body dies, if the life of the soul is still there, it can still survive in another way.

In a sense, this is somewhat close to the concept of "ghost", but it is not a ghost.

In the world of spiritual practice, those ghosts in the conventional sense are not the continuation of the living after death, but the remaining obsessions after the living, combined with some unique Yin Qi and filthy Qi between heaven and earth. In fact, they are a kind of ghost.

This new kind of 'energy life' has inherited the memories and cognitions of certain living people, but has undergone earth-shaking changes in its personality.

"Because of Infinite Life, there are monks who have the means to be reborn through reincarnation or to enter ghost cultivation. Only when they enter the wonderful realm can the possibilities of monks be broadened and can they have a more true sense of '

Past and present lives. As for the wonderful realm, it will all be over after one death!" At this time, Ye Chuxiao did not dwell too much on the issue of his own existence.

There is no point in thinking about a problem that cannot be thought through at the moment.

Just think of it as a golden finger taking him through time and allowing him to be reborn again!

"How many ways are there to die?" Ye Chuxiao asked Yifeng again.

Yifeng immediately recounted the treasures: "Usually there are seven methods: drinking poison, burying alive, flooding, extinguishing the breath, sealing the orifice, coagulating blood, and turtle breathing. In addition, because the skills are different, you can also use weapons and techniques.

The method is so powerful that it can reach the point of death, but it is a cruel method, with the intention of destroying the cauldron and sinking the boat. It is too dangerous and cannot be used unless it is a last resort."

Ye Chuxiao nodded.

Sitting at the crossroads of death is not really seeking death.

Just feel the moment of life and death, and then the wonderful heart will open and the door to the wonderful realm will be opened.

Therefore, those methods that try to preserve the body as much as possible and achieve "half-death" are the methods that can usually be used to avoid death.

Among them, the most commonly used method is 'burying alive'.

The monks will find a hole in the ground or a mountain cave, bury themselves completely, and in the absolute darkness and silence, as the footsteps of death approach, they can feel the moment of life and death.

Of course, they will also tell their close relatives and friends to set a time. If the person does not come out by the time, the relatives and friends will dig it out, and then forcefully wake it up.

Other techniques, such as drinking doves, flooding with water, cutting off the breath, sealing the orifice, etc., have similar practical uses.

They always leave a way out in advance, and then find the right time to perform the death test.

Therefore, the person responsible for awakening the Tao must choose carefully.
