Wet viviparity

Chapter 732 Pebbles, Wonderful Sexual Practice

Holding the small pebble in his palm, Black Owl thought Little Green Girl was deliberately testing his magic.

Without saying a word, he let out a heavy hum, and exhaled two streams of air from his nostrils, like two waterfalls cascading down. The air rushed over the few stones, and several ghostly figures of different appearances were seen being swept up in the air and returned to his nostrils.

Then Black Owl crossed his legs and sat cross-legged in mid-air.

His hands form a mudra, palms facing upwards, right hand over left hand, thumbs touching to form a "treasure basin" shape, which is the "Wealth and Treasure Increasing Mudra" in body tantra. He chants: "Om, Besvara, Svaha!"

The next moment, Black Owl let out another snort.

The ghosts that had been exorcised inside the nostrils transformed into spirits that were expelled from the nose. These spirits circled the body three times, appearing as figures that bowed to the black owl before dispersing into nature.

Black Owl felt quite relaxed and at ease after completing these tasks.

He was about to drop the few pebbles in his hand when Xiao Qinggu caught them and carefully held them in her hand.

He found it strange. In his opinion, these stones were not spiritual objects, but at most just pretty. Why did Xiao Qinggu cherish them so much? So he asked curiously, "Do these stones have some kind of origin?"

"You idiot, what do you know?"

Little Green Maiden gently stroked the few small stones in her palm. She favored these mountain stream stones, not for their mystery or supernatural significance, but simply because she loved their solid, round, and cool feel when held in her hand.

The patterns on these stones, washed by flowing water, are either blue or ochre, winding like old stream marks, revealing the true nature of heaven and earth more than the talismans on those yellowed scrolls.

If I come across one that I like, I pick it up and place it on my desk, as if I've invited a small piece of the spirit of the mountains and rivers into a stone chamber. When I have nothing to do, I caress it with my fingertips, feeling the weathered bones of the rough parts and the gentle flow of the streams on the smooth parts, which is more free and innocent than any masterpiece of painting.

These small objects, readily available in the mountains and fields, allowed her to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle of the world, calm the burning desires in her heart, and find solace in the charm of these small objects.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to understand this kind of fun. Whether it was her former lover or her elder sister, they all thought it was a waste of time and energy. She could only use the pretense of collecting small stones to seal away ghosts to satisfy her little pleasure.

Now, she is no longer willing to talk about such things.

Black Owl forcibly took a small pebble from Little Green Girl's hand and examined it carefully. This action angered Little Green Girl, who said, "You're such a boorish man!"

"listen."

Upon witnessing Black Owl's mastery of the Avici Hell, Little Green Girl had to admit that in this realm of Zen, Black Owl was no less capable than those renowned Buddhist monks, and was qualified to cultivate alongside her and advance together.

“I have said that my sisters and I follow the path of using Buddhism to subdue demons. This path and method have allowed us to avoid many detours in our cultivation and have earned us an extraordinary reputation among many different sects.”

However, this method is not a shortcut to enlightenment. Once you delve into it deeply, it is still the same as having the skin of a demon but the bones of a Buddha. In essence, it is still following the path of Buddhism. To put it bluntly, it is using magic as a tool and Buddhism as the essence.

Back then in the Celestial Palace, although my elder sister and I obtained the "Plain Moon Lotus Sutra," only my elder sister received the karmic connection with the deity "Lotus Bodhisattva."

Decades ago, my elder sister deeply felt the difficulty of practicing the three secrets of Buddhism and was unwilling to get involved in any more trouble or karma.

So he moved out of Shanggu, the land of the Hidden Spirit Sect, and quietly kept watch over the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, focusing on comprehending the first stage of enlightenment and severing the three fetters. Now he is gradually making progress, and with great perseverance and determination, he subdued the "Hunling Wuxiang God and Demon" under the underworld and converted it into a guardian god and demon of his own deity.

If it weren't for Lingxuzi's secret machinations, which caused the deaths of my fellow disciples in the Thousand Flower Cave of my sect, my elder sister would probably have already renounced worldly life to focus on her gradual attainment of the four stages of Arhatship.

"Does your older sister have this Zen-like quality?" "You look down on my older sister."

"In the process of breaking the three fetters in the pursuit of the first stage of enlightenment, let alone breaking the attachment to self in the fetter of self-view, even the relatively easy fetters of attachment to precepts and doubt, given your sister's background of being immersed in magic and evil arts since childhood and being proficient in all kinds of insidious rituals, it would be extremely difficult for her to stop believing in such rituals, get rid of her attachment to magic, and turn to Buddhism."

“There are countless people who practice both Taoism and Buddhism, and many of them have achieved success. My sister practices both demonism and Buddhism, so why can’t she achieve success?”

"Haha, the Great Way is nameless, therefore it is nameless. Hence, Buddha is the Way, and so is Demon. But do you dare to say in this world that Demon is Buddha, or that the Way is Buddha!"

Upon hearing the last few words, Xiao Qinggu felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly raised her hand to signal Hei Xiao to stop talking and complained, "How can you talk like that? You really don't care about any taboos at all."

Judging by your bone age, you're only a teenager; how could you know so much?

Black Owl realized he had spoken out of turn and didn't continue the conversation. The two returned to their previous topic.

Xiao Qinggu's meaning was simple: she would use the magic in the "Demon Slayer's Manual" to summon great demons and spirits from the underworld, and then the two of them would work together to subdue them. This way, Hei Xiao could refine his magic, and she could increase her strength.

However, before that, Black Owl needs to cultivate his true form; otherwise, in such a profound cultivation process, if there is any danger, he will become a burden to Little Green Maiden.

At this secluded residence beneath Xiping Lake, Xiaoqinggu taught Heixiao a part of a secret dual cultivation method that she claimed originated from the orthodox Xuanmen sect.

After receiving the instruction, Black Owl carefully studied it and confirmed that it was indeed a profound method.

But why only a portion of it? Naturally, it's because this method requires the simultaneous cultivation of form and spirit, the simultaneous nurturing of life and nature, the union of dragon and tiger, and the harmonious resonance of infant and child. In other words, it requires the genuine feelings of two people to guide their true nature, and for their feelings and nature to be in harmony, in order to enter the most profound and mysterious realm together.

Given their current relationship, it's at most a fleeting affair, full of pretense, which doesn't meet the requirements of this method. Therefore, they can only practice the superficial parts to complement each other.

After staying with Xiao Qinggu, Hei Xiao lost all desire to go back.

It's truly remarkable that having a senior cultivator like Xiao Qinggu to guide him in improving his cultivation, and who selflessly invests resources in him without expecting anything in return, and who serves him meticulously in every way, allowing him to be treated with utmost care and indulgence, would make anyone else happy and reluctant to leave.

Just then, Jiang Hubiao was also in the city being well taken care of by the unorthodox woman invited by Dao Yuanjun. The two of them tacitly ignored each other, occasionally exchanging letters.

It is worth mentioning that the situation with Dao Yuanjun has reached a stalemate. Although the external wisdom body of Venerable Lingjixiang agreed to let this person serve him, he treated him as if he were air and did not pay much attention to him, which made Dao Yuanjun feel very insecure.

Now, Dao Yuanjun has surrounded the Miaoyin Nunnery outside the city with a large number of disciples and demons, not allowing anyone to approach that wise body and ruin his opportunity, showing a very frightened attitude.

Black Owl told this story to Little Green Girl as an amusing anecdote, which made her laugh.

Xiao Qinggu didn't take Dao Yuanjun seriously at all. In the eyes of the sisters, the real show would begin next year when that wise body reached the age of ninety-nine.

Judging from this, it seems like next year will be quite eventful, and even Black Owl can't help but look forward to it.

Time passed quickly, and the two were like a young married couple in the cave, their affection growing stronger.

As for Ji Ming, who was far away in the immortal mountain, his second primordial spirit was able to immerse itself in this life and fully experience all aspects of life. It did not deliberately maintain its own ups and downs, joys and sorrows because of the influence of this place. In this regard, he adopted the attitude of observing the flowing water—not resisting, not judging, allowing the second primordial spirit to appear naturally, thereby tempering the transcendence and awareness of his mind.

This method of observing how the second spirit responds to external circumstances in order to see one's own habits and attachments is simply the supreme and wondrous truth above the cultivation of one's nature.
