Chapter 16 Quantitative Calamity, Rhapsody, and Cultivation(1/2)
After dinner, Ren Ling felt sleepy and went to the bedroom to rest.
Not much happened on this day, but it had a huge impact on her.
The three views have been ravaged, and the whole person has questioned the times and the world, and has unprecedented reflection.
The mental panic and confusion consume too much energy.
So Ren Qiong advised her to rest and use sleep to calm down her mental stress.
In the end, the young man was left alone to clean up the dishes and wash the kitchen utensils.
When everything was over, he frowned and leaned on the dining table, sorting out what he had seen and heard today.
Although it was only one morning, so many things happened that it suddenly felt like a week had passed.
One thing after another, they seem to be unrelated, but they are intertwined in some places, revealing a corner of the great era to him.
‘Five virtues rule the world.’
‘Taoist reform.’
'The times are dark.'
'Rebellious uprising.'
‘…’
There is such a thread that intersperses too many trivial matters together.
Suddenly looking back, Ren Qiong was shocked to find that even a handsome boy like him, holding the Hetu Luoshu in his hand, was like a god overlooking the world, seeing all kinds of future possibilities, but he could not successfully stay out of the matter, and was surrounded by countless causes and effects.
Those who are entangled are unknowingly involved in the quagmire.
Where he worked, the shopkeeper was not simple, serving the cause of the rebellion.
The Taoist school where he is going to study is on the eve of change... Even if there is no change, there are still many dark shadows that will always remain.
Even though he wanted to take a step back and enjoy the vast world, his sister witnessed the bloody world first, and all three views were shattered.
In fact, this is just what he learned.
There is more that he doesn’t know!
If Ren Qiong worships Zhenren Qi Du as his teacher, then there will be a blood feud - the ancestors were all killed!
It's just that this line was cut off by Master Qi Du.
The real person only taught him the talismans, but did not allow him to become a disciple, which cut off this cause and effect.
"This reminds me of something from the legend..."
Ren Qiong murmured to himself, "Measure the calamity...?"
He smelled the coming storm.
All kinds of causes and effects accumulate together to form a distorted era.
He is in this era and wants to completely avoid cause and effect... it can only be said to be a dream.
The boy's eyes changed.
Gradually, his eyes became calm, as calm as an ancient well.
He dug out the golden book and jade book taught to him by Master Qi Du. It was the foundation of a Taoist lineage, and all the true traditions were written on it.
Every time I read it, Ren Qiong was deeply moved.
Compared with Hetu Luoshu, this is the best translator and simulator. It can be said that it is invincible in the practice of Fu Tao.
"The cool breeze becomes a talisman, reaching everywhere, reaching up to the nine heavens, and down to the nine netherworlds!"
He read the prologue, stared at Master Judu's message, and felt the absolute confidence hidden under that plain face.
There are nine days to go, and nine secluded places to reach!
Wind, which is the symbol of world sports, is the most beautiful boy among them.
In contrast, the earth is solid, stable, and carries all things.
Ren Qiong pondered over the initial and various upgrade iterations of the Qingfeng Talisman, and then thought about his previous breakthroughs.
He used dust to draw talismans, not sticking to a fixed format and shape, breaking the shackles of convention!
At this moment, the young man recalled the touching experience when he used the talisman before, trying to integrate it, draw inferences from one instance, and turn it into the qualifications for the improvement of all talismans.
Especially the Qingfeng Talisman.
This talisman is so wonderful and has endless possibilities.
"Earth...wind..." Ren Qiong thought, "If I can master water and fire again, and reach an unprecedented peak...if the four are combined, can I one day restore the earth, water, fire, and wind in this world, and change the world again?"
?”
"There are too many flies and dogs in this world, and it is difficult to recover. Maybe this is the only solution, right?"
While the young man was studying the talismans, he could not help but have some daydreams, which were absurd and out of tune.
——It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the whole world, so let’s start over after the world is destroyed!
When he came back to his senses, Ren Qiong was laughing at himself. What kind of chuunibyou was this?
However, after laughing at himself, he felt that he still needed to be mentally prepared.
He promised Ren Ling that there is still truth, goodness and beauty in this world, and those who do evil will be punished.
Perhaps, he will use the head of "Zhang San" to promote the right path in the world!
This is easy to say.
It's never easy to do.
After all, it's not difficult to kill someone. If you calculate mentally or not, you can always find an opportunity.
But "Zhang San" is not a lone wolf.
If you really touch him, you must be prepared to fight against the entire Zhang family!
Cut the grass...get rid of the roots!
If you can't get rid of the root cause, just wait for continuous revenge!
But...even if you kill a Zhang family member, will the cause and effect be over?
The Zhang family can develop and shout out words like this - In Guisi Mansion, I have a hundred ways to make it difficult for you to survive.
Such arrogance may not be arrogance, but sufficient confidence.
The intertwined roots and various connections weave a monstrous network of relationships. He is the earth emperor in the land of Guisi Prefecture.
A Zhang family fell.
But another "Zhang family" stood up again.
He may also be afraid of getting rid of the previous warrior of the Zhang family and destroy him at all costs!
So it is not enough to kill one Zhang family, you may have to destroy the entire interest group.
Ren Qiong was thinking while he was thinking, and the talismans he drew randomly under his hand were deformed and crooked.
"Wait... why did your train of thought go astray again?"
He sighed and reflected on himself, "In order to prevent retaliation, to promote truth, goodness, and beauty, and to eliminate evil, I took the initiative to kill people... Am I so murderous? Why haven't I discovered it yet?"
"Hold on! You're so underdeveloped! Don't waste your time!"
"Time is on my side!"
Ren Qiong warned himself to hold on tight and not get carried away.
Shaking his head, he temporarily stopped studying and drawing the talismans.
If you are not calm, you are not suitable for research.
So, he turned around and reflected on his own cultivation.
This is the foundation for a monk to live a long life.
"Getting started...building the foundation/laying the foundation...golden elixir/no leakage..."
"Although I am still getting started, I have already completed most of the journey and am only one step away from laying the foundation stone."
"Today's monks have changed some of the names of the ancient methods to make it easier for people to understand... Because of the ascension, they have renamed the major realms of practice to move in this direction, making them popular and easy to understand."
Ren Qiong pondered, taking stock of his own cultivation level, eager to try and take a step further.
Evacuating one’s home and ascending to heaven—it can be said that this is the highest honor for a mortal to become an immortal as he cultivates Taoism.
What does that mean?
It is a synonym for one person attaining the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. It is a person who proves the immortal way. Not only can he benefit himself, he will live forever, and even the whole family can enjoy the fruits of this great achievement and become immortals.
This alone fits the theme of the times very well. Everyone has the ability to practice immortality and everyone has the hope of becoming an immortal, so it is widely accepted.
Even the realm of spiritual practice has gradually changed, and the metaphor of explanation has become closer to the aspect of building a house.
