Chapter 911: Further Improvement
Walking around the mountain village, I saw a small tree with a very strange look in an abandoned yard. The tree was only half a man tall, with long branches and thin leaves. At first glance, it looked like grass. But it faintly exudes a quiet fragrance.
A gentle sniff is intoxicating. Li Chang smiled and said "Huh", approached the small tree, and gently peeled off the surrounding soil. Expose its roots. At the end of the rhizome, there are small round milky white fruits.
This is the drunken fruit, which is a famous delicacy on the list of delicacies from mountains and seas. Li Changxiao took a slight sniff and felt vaguely drunk. He shouted to himself twice, "Wonderful, wonderful."
In recent days, he has been traveling around the world, and what he has seen is mostly hardships in the world, unspeakable misery, and most of his mood is really dull. His decision to make a breakthrough while sleeping was fundamentally different from his previous decision to let nature take its course, do what he wanted, and take his time. Rather, he was helpless and had to do it as a last resort.
Instead of traveling around the world in vain, it is better to make breakthroughs first and then seek other changes. But when he woke up again, he couldn't predict what the world would look like. Li Changxiaoruo was really carefree and unrestrained. What the world has become is nothing more than a drama in his eyes. In this world, what can limit him? He only has compassion in his heart, but he cannot completely ignore it.
Unexpectedly unearthing the "Drunken Heart Fruit" is a bit of consolation. Naturally very happy. Li Changxiao picked them off one by one, eleven in total. Each one is about the size of a thumb. This kind of fruit is bitter, sour and spicy when chewed raw, and extremely unpalatable, but it is cooked after being roasted in a fire. The meat quality changes and becomes sweet and crispy, which is a rare delicacy in the world.
If it is used to make wine, it can also add the aroma of the wine. One sip will make people feel like they have ascended to heaven and enjoy the bliss, indescribable beauty and indescribable enjoyment. Li Chang smiled and said, "Big opportunity, big opportunity." Holding the drunken fruit in hand, he rushed towards the small ruined temple.
On the way, I thought about this Anran Village, which was ravaged by the plague and had no trace of people. But more than a hundred years later, such a rare plant was born. Although strange diseases are rampant in this world, there is no way to solve them. There is a saying that the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
Thinking of this, my mood suddenly became much brighter. I also thought about Bian Hua and Nan Lao Buddha, who said that there must be a solution. Maybe you don’t need yourself, and everything will be fine as soon as you wake up.
Li Changxiao laughed at himself: "Li Changxiao, Li Changxiao, do you think you are the one and only savior? Running around alone, working blindly for a while. There is no difference at all with or without you. You Just have a good sleep."
Return to Hemu Temple. Look at the statue of Hemu, which is covered with moss and vines but still looks dignified. He sighed in his heart and said: "Perhaps... it would be the best solution for all the gods and Buddhas to be buried in the sea. If they are all infected with the immortality disease and their principles become distorted, it will be torture. I... don't want to see it even more. "
He took out his long sword, chopped the moss cleanly, and pulled down the vines. Then he used Qingping's sword as a broom and swept it around. All the snakes, insects and beasts that had made their nests were driven out of the temple.
Weeds and branches are burned into ashes and scattered around the temple. Li Changxiao didn't care about the place to sleep. But for no reason, he saw weeds growing and snakes and insects living in his old friend's temple. After some cleaning, it was finally much cleaner.
Only the temple windows were broken and the roof tiles were damaged. As soon as the wind blows, there is a "whirring" noise, which is very noisy. Li Changxiao cut down trees and replaced windows. The soil was rubbed again and the roof was patched.
In this way, this is not like a small temple, but more like a small house. After a busy day of work, it was already night. Li Changxiao lit a bonfire and enjoyed the fruit. If you only eat fruit, you will always feel that something is wrong. So I went out in the dark and caught a pheasant and a frog. There is also a venomous snake.
The venomous snake is earthy in color and has a triangular head. It is extremely poisonous at first glance. The locals call it the "snake with severed limbs". It likes to hide in the leaves and branches and will suddenly attack passers-by. Once bitten by one, if the bitten part is not cut off immediately, life will not be saved. Therefore, it is called the "snake with severed limbs".
But few people know that this snake is a rare delicacy, with firm and elastic flesh. Not to mention the pheasant, it has sharp teeth and mouth and is full of aggression. Not afraid at all when seeing people, he takes the initiative to attack. Li Changxiao pinched the wings of the pheasant. The pheasant was not big, very lean, and the meat should be older. My teeth are not good, but I can't eat. The frog is about the size of two palms and has been around for some time.
Li Changxiao processed the ingredients and stewed a pot of perfect soup with one dragon and two phoenixes. Then penetrate the fruit of intoxication. This milky white soup turns golden in an instant. The taste is really wonderful.
Li Changxiao sucked up even the last drop of soup. After eating, I couldn't help but stretch my body. I felt so comfortable and drunk. I haven't tasted such delicious food in a long time. The taste is endless aftertaste. Li Changxiao yawned. After eating and drinking, it was time to get down to business.
He walked behind the statue of the river mother, curled up and lay down. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep. A strange rhythm rippled out. He was originally in the early stage of integration, but his understanding was already in the middle stage of integration. In the dream space, the aura has become better than when it was at its peak. There is a continuous supply of spiritual energy, making it easier for him to practice.
This breakthrough was indeed a bit impatience out of necessity. If Li Xundao hadn't contracted the disease, the world would have become chaotic. Li Changxiao might take his time and travel for hundreds of years, waiting until he gets interested, and then seek a breakthrough when things are ready.
Li Changxiao shortened the process, realized in dreams, and practiced in dreams. The Tao he has cultivated has long been integrated and understood. Now he is realizing it in a dream, and he wants to get closer. Although overall, this desire for breakthrough can be considered impatient. But that didn't mean that Li Changxiao was walking unsteadily.
Time passed. The grass and trees grew wildly, and ten years passed in a flash. Li Changxiao suddenly opened his eyes. Although he had some insights into his cultivation, it was still not enough to break through. Li Changxiao thought to himself: "In this Dharma-ending age, cultivation is already very difficult. I want to break through in a short period of time, but I'm afraid it will be unstable, so I'll slow down." He closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
