Chapter 68 Wu Lai
It was also during the two years of establishing such a temple and cultivating one's own character, Yuchen clearly felt the problem he had at that time.
The mind and nature of Tao emphasize transparency as the best, and attachment as the bottom.
But this mind and this nature also decline. If you cannot control it, you will inevitably enter the side door again, just as the Zen Shenxiu said: the body is a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror platform; wipe it frequently and do not let dust appear.
Yuchen experienced many "good things" when his mind was first achieved and had not yet been consolidated. He first had a good relationship with Jin Guang and Yan Chixia and obtained a large amount of cultivation materials. Then he successfully "planned" Hu Daxiangu. By relying on the information obtained in the previous article, he established a foundation for future Taoism. After returning, he easily killed a casual cultivator.
The heart of Tao is active and unable to control it, and then he develops a sense of arrogance. After meeting the Fire Boy, he did not notice the danger hidden behind him. Otherwise, according to his past mentality in the Snake Tribe, he would definitely be in the market for several months now. When inquiring about the news, he would upgrade his magic weapon and prepare more backups for the Fire Lord before leaving.
How could it be so easy to go downstream?
After all, there is something wrong with the mentality.
Yu Chen touched the head of the spirit turtle again, took it over the spirit pool, and came to an altar behind.
The altar is paved with black and white bricks, forming the Tai Chi Yin and Yang momentum. A red and blue-white bead is suspended at the Yin and Yang fish eyes.
Yuchen took out the incense, bowed to worship, and then danced gracefully to worship the Xuanwu Holy in the dark.
This Xuanwu does not refer to a certain sacred person, but the concept of Xuanwu. This is also reasoned by Yu Chen from the knowledge taught by Guixian.
There are many sacred people in this world who are not specific gods, but some conceptual phenomena. They do not care about the attitudes of the world towards them, as if the sun is rising and the moon is setting, that's all.
Therefore, Yuchen worships such sacred with incense, which will only cause corresponding fluctuations in the Tao and laws, without worrying about attracting some sacred attention.
The fragrance of mist and the vital energy flows. There is a spirituality among the two pearls, forming a huge phantom on the Tai Chi diagram. The dark turtle surrounded by earth-yellow mist breath, and a spiritual snake with red scales and blue patterns entrenched on its back.
The red snake is soft, the inner nature is fire, the outer nature is combined with water, the black turtle is hard, the inner nature is water, and the outer nature is combined with mountain posture, which can be said to be based on softness, and softness is used, achieving the wonderful state of hardness and unbreakable softness.
This momentum is like a Xuanwu, entrenched on Linggui Island, and is one of Yuchen's biggest gains in the past two years.
"Unfortunately, the black turtle's power of the evolution of this red snake and black turtle is incomplete. The turtle and snake are not integrated, and it also makes the power of Bishui Lake and Linggui Island unable to be closed. Keep the two strands parallel, and can only help each other with hardness and softness, and cannot be generated by yin and yang..."
Looking at the shadow of Xuanwu above, Yuchen asked the spirit turtle to step forward and suppressed the blood of the divine aura in his body with the tranquility of Xuanwu, and at the same time made him familiar with the formation guarding the spirit turtle island.
"Roar!Roar!Roar!" The bloodline in the awakened state returned to the deposition, and the spirit turtle seemed a little painful, but it still stood there.
After about half a day, Yu Chen, whose temples were already wet with sweat, walked to the side of the spirit turtle, touched its head and said, "Next time you steal it, we will come here once!"
"Roar..." The spirit turtle responded weakly, and with the help of Yuchen, he returned to the edge of the spirit pool.
Yuchen sent the spirit turtle into the spirit pool, and then returned to the place of practice, preparing to continue today's practice.
However, in his place of practice, there was an old woman wearing a robe, holding a wooden stick with tortoise shells on the top, wearing various bones and tortoise shell decorations, with white hair and looking like she might die at any time.
"Why are you here, Turtle Witch?"
When the old lady saw Gong Yu, she hurriedly bowed and said, "The little witch is here today, so she has something to report."
"What's wrong?" Yu Chen was a little strange. As he said, he looked at the sky and sensed the breath around him. Except for the dry and scorching north and the aura in the tribe, there was no strange breath.
"It's the Firebird Tribe in the north that wants to join our tribe."
As the turtle witch spoke, she took out a half-shattered animal skin from her coat. There were several simple red patterns on the animal skin, forming the image of a bird.
Yu Chen took it and felt a faint hot breath. He immediately knew that this thing was originally the residence of the totem, but now it was damaged, which means that the totem had been severely damaged. Yu Chen sensed it and found that the complete spirituality was still retained inside. When Yu Chen was tempted, it turned into a phantom of a firebird and tried to fight back.
This is a totem that has condensed the authority of the land and is almost like the earth god, but it is not far from death.
Feeling the power of the opponent's attack, Yu Chen reached a conclusion and looked at the Turtle Witch: "Is it the people from the Firebird Tribe who want to save their totem or the people from the Firebird Tribe who are not ready to let them go."
"The Zhe tribe likes to hold revenge and fight the most. In the past, it was suppressed by the Firebird tribe for a long time. This time they won't let go of the Firebird tribe."
The Turtle Witch said, and said helplessly: "Actually, I don't want to disturb your practice, but according to the information I have collected recently, the Zhe Tribe is still expanding outward. Even if we don't take in the Firebird Tribe this time, the Zhe Tribe will still cause trouble for us. So I want to ask your opinion, what should we do now..."
Yu Chen was a little surprised when he saw the Turtle Witch's performance. As the former Big Snake Witch, he knew very well that the wizard's first reaction when encountering problems was to ask the Totem for the situation.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the Turtle Witch's approach was right. The totem of their tribe had pointed at the spiritual turtle, and he was the one who blessed them with good weather. In the eyes of some tribes, Yuchen probably was no different from the totem.
With this understanding, Yu Chen suggested: "Since you have to fight and the remaining people in the Firebird Tribe are willing to integrate into it, then you can accept them. If you need to hold a sacrifice, I will help you wash away the totem breath of the original tribe on them and imprint the breath of the spirit turtle."
When she heard Yu Chen ask her to hold a sacrifice, the turtle witch's eyes lit up. It was obvious that she came to ask Yu Chen for this. After she saluted Yu Chen respectfully, she summoned a stream of water and drove a boat back to the tribe.
