Chapter 303 You know, I have been without parents since I was a child...
Lin Du got a definite answer and was in a good mood while drinking.
Lin Tuan looked at her face and suddenly asked, "How long have you not slept?"
Lin Du was stunned for a moment, and his brain reacted slowly, "... Forgot?"
Lin Tuan had an idea in his mind, "He probably didn't sleep at all this year."
Lin Du nodded slowly again.
"Sleep here for a while." Lin Tuan patted the mat. "This mat is pure and clean. The peach forest's earth energy can replenish your vitality and make you peaceful. Even if you only sleep for an hour, it will be more comfortable than sleeping on the ice block that your master likes."
"Don't be so tense all the time. People always need to rest. If you are tense for too long, you will lose your sharpness."
Lin Du responded obediently again, then fell to the ground with a thud.
In fact, she has not slept since she advanced to the sect and returned to the sect. She has been using meditation to replace sleep.
Hou Cang stood under the shadow of the tree, his face, already filled with gloom, becoming even darker.
Lin Du slept longer than usual this time. She did not mobilize her spiritual power to dissolve the spiritual wine, but slept particularly deeply due to her drunkenness.
Given her personality, she would not be so indulgent.
But she seemed to feel at ease every time she was around Lin Tuan, even though her youthful and lively appearance was just an act, her desire for advice was genuine.
Perhaps it’s because she is indeed powerful and profound, yet always kind and tolerant.
Lin Du slept until early morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hou Cang's face had changed from an icy face to a dead face.
"Are you awake? Master asked me to prepare something for you to soothe your hangover. What specialty did the Buddhist cultivator bring? Lotus nectar. I soaked it in honey for you. I'm afraid you might have a stomachache. Also, these spiritual fruits. It’s good for your mind and body.”
Hou Cang put a plate of fruit and a cup of honey water on the small table and said in a cold voice, "Eat."
Very ruthless.
Lin Du sat up slowly, his brain working quickly, "What nectar did you just say?"
"Lotus nectar is a specialty of Yunmo Luo. They knew my master was addicted to alcohol and were afraid that she would get drunk, so they brought it here specially."
"How can spiritual wine hurt the stomach?" Lin Du drank the honey water, paused for a while, and picked up a spiritual fruit to eat.
"My master is just like you. He doesn't even use his spiritual energy to digest alcohol. He drinks whatever is offered to him. Strong alcohol burns the stomach, so it will naturally hurt her."
Hou Cang seemed helpless about this and frowned, "What is it? If I use my spiritual power to digest it, there will be no fun in drinking."
Lin Du finished eating three spiritual fruits in two or three bites, stood up and stretched his body, saying, "Master is right, Brother, you lose."
Hou Cang was speechless. How could this person still remember this?
"Yes, I lost, so what do you want?"
Lin Du smiled. The morning light descended from the woods and passed through the forest mist, like countless streams of light dancing in the sky.
"Then please, Senior Brother, accompany me to do something big."
Hou Cang felt that it was not a good thing and wanted to refuse, "Master just saw that you were young and got used to your nonsense. She got used to you, but I won't get used to you."
Lin Du looked at Hou Cang with an innocent look on his face, and devoted himself to making the first pot of tea in the morning, "Brother, you know, I have lost my parents since I was a child..."
Hou Cang was silent. He had lost his parents since he was a child, so what could he say?
"...So what do you want to do?" Hou Cang stood before his bottom line, "Don't do anything reckless."
"Seal the source of the evil spirit. Brother has gone to investigate before. I think it would be appropriate for you to lead the way." Lin Du smiled and extended an invitation to the back. "I think you would be very interested in this kind of heaven-defying act. If you join me, it would be of great help to my cultivation."
Hou Cang's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. In addition to the easing of his relationship with Lin Tuan, it is also related to his frequent trips to the demon world to kill monsters. Almost every time he returns with injuries, his cultivation improves by one level.
Therefore, the fifth senior brother secretly lamented to Lin Du that this Hou Cang did not seem to be cultivating the supreme state of forgetfulness of emotions, but rather seemed to be cultivating killing.
Hou Cang's eyelids jumped. This important matter was mentioned so casually by the junior sister, as if they were just going out for fun.
In fact, he admired Lin Du's behavior and character, but his own rebellion was based on sufficient strength. Lin Du was only a fourth term now, so it was a bit too unrealistic.
"You may be young, but you have a big heart." Hou Cang looked at Lin Du's stature and said, "You should practice your skills for a few more years before we talk."
"Then I'll take this as your approval."
After Lin Du finished drinking and eating, he turned around and left. It was almost time for the morning training. He had to practice footwork and Tai Chi every day.
It was not until he finished warming up and stood on the top of the mountain and started to move forward that Lin Du suddenly remembered.
What sense of security does she get from Lin Tuan?
It is the affirmation and trust of the superior who controls everything.
In her entire life, she had never received positive and definite affirmation and trust from her elders, let alone equal communication.
Lin Du has already formed muscle memory for the boxing technique, but he hesitated when he attacked today.
Chu Guanmeng comes out every night to absorb the moonlight for cultivation, and usually goes back to the Hanyue Secret Realm to sleep during the day. Yesterday, due to the turbulent momentum, she did not dare to come out. Now she lazily crawled out, squeezed out her sleeves, and then struggled to climb up to her shoulders along her arms.
But before it could sit down firmly, Lin Du suddenly started to move.
A round, relaxed yet extremely powerful force surged out from her sleeves and soon flowed between her arms.
"The mysterious principles of Tai Chi's Yin and Yang are clear, and all changes remain the same.
Be impartial and keep the balance, and then you will achieve success by thoroughly understanding the principles of relaxation and tension. "
The shackles and frustration that Lin Du had almost forgotten, which were weighing heavily on the deepest part of his heart, suddenly shattered as he swung his fist when he faced the wind on the top of the peak today.
If the Qi is stagnant, success will be difficult; if the Qi is smooth, it will be easy to observe the sky.
When obsessions are broken, discard the previous desire to prove yourself. After there is no need to prove yourself, it is easier to act in accordance with Heaven, to be in harmony with Heaven, to observe Heaven's way, and to follow Heaven's actions.
Standing on the top of a cliff, you can see the vastness of the universe and the greenery of the trees.
Lin Du maintained the breathing method of Tai Chi, and the power of heaven and earth surged smoothly, pouring into the spirit platform from all directions, following the central meridian, flowing in the boxing techniques, between the flowing clouds and water, the grass leaves fluttered, the wind and clouds rolled, and the heaven and earth realized the Tao.
As yin and yang circulated, the innate Tai Chi yin and yang pattern appeared under Lin Du's feet, and then his energy surged into the sky.
Early in the morning, those who were in meditation and practicing were preparing to pack up and go to the dining hall for breakfast, when they saw an arc of light appearing from the top of a steep peak in a remote part of the sect, reaching from top to bottom. The black and white, yin and yang were flowing, and it contained countless rules of the way of heaven. Just one look at it made one's brain ache.
Yuan Ye rubbed his eyes and was about to say something when he saw Yan Qing took out a booklet and started writing quickly.
He leaned over to take a look, "In the early morning of a certain year and month, the Supreme Sect's Lin Du attained enlightenment on a peak, activated the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and entered the Dao..."
Yan Qing stopped writing and looked at the mountain top in the distance. He was dazzled by the laws of heaven and earth, then he lowered his head silently and fell into deep thought.
"What great path has Junior Master entered? Why can't I see it?"
Ni Jinxuan also walked out of the kitchen. Before she could see the scene in the distance clearly, Yuan Ye quickly blocked her eyes from a distance. "Don't look, don't look. It seems that Junior Master is mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to choose a way. The rules of heaven are too extreme for us. It hurts my head to see it."
"Really? Junior Master is going to choose a new path?" Ni Jinxuan said excitedly, "What is that?"
"It seems... that the choice was not made?" Yuan Ye had already chosen the path, and he bravely took another look, "Just, I saw that the Heavenly Path had just been sent down, and the rules of enlightenment and blessing were bestowed, and then Junior Master was inside, and then, according to reason, after the path was chosen, outsiders should be able to see a bright spiritual light that reaches the sky, but... Junior Master now... it seems that there is no such thing?"
Yuan Ye is difficult to explain.
Lindu is even more difficult to explain.
She stood at the top of the mountain, having just entered a mysterious realm, surrounded by the rules of heaven and earth, pointing to a road that leads to heaven. She was about to enter the gate at the beginning of the avenue. The power of heaven was pushing her forward with joy, and then when she walked to the gate.
The door shook and slammed shut in front of him.
It's closed!
Lin Du stood on the top of the cliff, and under Han Yueling's strange gaze, he withdrew his hand hopelessly.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Guanmeng had a spiritual connection with her, so he could see the scene of choosing the path in her consciousness. It was also the first time for him to see a person being locked outside after being led by the avenue.
Clearly at the beginning, Tiandao's attitude was that he loved Lin Du so much that he wanted to drag him to heaven, so why did the door close?
"How would I know if you ask me?" Lin Du looked hopeless. "Forget it. Find a parent to comfort you."
Chu Guanmeng said dimly, "Is it because Heaven thinks you are a traitor, so it opened the way for you and then regretted it?"
Lin Du sneered, "Don't eat today."
“Hey, stop it!” Chu Guanmeng jumped up, “You know, I’ve lost my parents since I was a child…”
"Heaven and earth are your parents, don't talk nonsense, or you may be considered a traitor by Heaven." Lin Du suppressed it ruthlessly.
