Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 546 Returning to the womb and taking back the nature is true
"Gululu..."

Xiao Ran's consciousness was sinking rapidly, as if he was falling into the deep sea. The huge feeling of oppression made him feel like he was suffocating, yet he was tormented by the inability to die.

The faint light in the sight is disappearing rapidly, replaced by endless darkness.

After time, space, perception, and everything that could be felt disappeared, Xiao Ran gradually couldn't bear it anymore.

He wanted to shout, wanted to roar, but there was no sound, he couldn't even feel his own mouth.

That feeling of dead silence, every second was a huge torture, even more painful than killing him.

Even if possible, it would be better to let him cry.

But no matter how Xiao Ran struggled, he still got nothing!

When everything came to nothing, Xiao Ran really began to feel fear in his heart.

"Let me die!!"

"Fuck your grandma! I'll beat your grandson to death, grandpa!!!"

From the initial despair to anger, countless images and roars of curses flashed through his mind.

But after the anger, what followed was still the despair that suffocated him.

It was unknown how long this feeling of despair lasted, but Xiao Ran's remaining consciousness unconsciously began to recite the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra" on the "Ji Le Kasaya".

"Thus have I heard, seeing the nature is empty, neither attachment nor delusion, neither evil nor good, neither demon nor Buddha, the true nature of the clear vision will not fall into hell, nor be stained by the kalpa of emptiness, Namo Amitabha, Paramita..."

The scriptures flashed through his consciousness, and Xiao Ran's originally agitated and crazy mood gradually calmed down.

As he read the scriptures, Xiao Ran's thoughts gradually became more solid.

Every time you recite it, your consciousness becomes clearer.

But at the same time, Xiao Ran's sense of his surroundings became stronger and stronger. The suffocating darkness and emptiness still tightly enveloped Xiao Ran.

This made Xiao Ran think of the soul cultivation technique, which mentioned in the second level about tracing back the soul fetus, seizing the opportunity of yin and yang, swallowing the nature to nourish life, and reversing the primordial spirit.

Xiao Ran didn’t understand these things before, but later Taoist Meihua explained them to him.

At that time, Xiao Ran seemed to understand it, but after reading it again, his mind became confused again.

But fortunately, he remembered every word that Plum Blossom Taoist said at that time.

At this moment, he unconsciously began to practice the soul cultivation technique according to what Taoist Plum Blossom said.

Gradually, the oppressive feeling brought by the surrounding darkness gradually disappeared.

Xiao Ran felt that his consciousness curled up like a baby. In the darkness and silence, he gradually returned to the original feeling of being in the womb.

"Xuye, what do you think we should name our baby?"

A woman's voice gradually became clearer in the darkness, and then Xiao Ran heard a magnetic male voice: "My father named me Xuye, and this kid probably won't be able to escape, but life will get better in the future. I think he may not do this business, so why not just call him Xiaoran, so that he can be related to it, and my father can't find fault with it."

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Ran."

The conversation between the man and woman moved Xiao Ran's heart.

“These are the voices of my parents, the voices I heard when I was a fetus!!”

Xiao Ran felt a surge of excitement in his heart and he almost lost himself from this state. This startled Xiao Ran and he quickly calmed himself down again.

When his consciousness returned to a fetal state, Xiao Ran gradually began to feel something unusual.

My consciousness is gradually becoming solid at an incredible speed.

"Seize the opportunity of yin and yang, swallow the nature to nourish life, reverse the original spirit, and return to the truth, just like the chaos of heaven and earth, not Pangu creating the sky."

Xiao Ran thought of Taoist Meihua's words again.

"You can divide yin and yang into two people. One of these people is called nature, and the other is called destiny. Destiny is the essence of your soul, and nature is the evil of your soul..."

Xiao Ran gradually began to understand what Taoist Meihua said.

The so-called swallowing nature to nourish life means letting oneself devour one's own subconscious mind to strengthen one's main thoughts.

The human subconscious is very deep, and the self's thoughts are just the tip of the iceberg.

If the sense of self is not strong enough, there is even a risk of being manipulated by the subconscious mind.

For example…you’re standing on the edge of a cliff and a rubbish thought pops into your head, telling you to jump off.

Or maybe when you are driving, you may have an idea to drive down something beside you.

These thoughts will urge you to commit suicide from time to time.

That’s right, this is your subconscious mind. To be blunt, the existence of your subconscious mind is to kill you.

Most people think that they have had this kind of thought, but it is just a thought and it is not controlled by the subconscious mind at all.

But that's most of the time, and you have to know that suicidal thoughts flash through your mind all the time.

Among the billions of scenes in a person's life, it only takes one time for it to affect you and your life will be over.

Regarding this consciousness, Taoists divide it into nature, while Buddhists denounce it as miscellaneous thoughts.

If you go to the countryside, you will find that there are far more long-lived elderly people in the countryside than in the city. This is not only because of the environment, but also because these people stay in the village all their lives, never travel far, and do not see the bustling city outside, so they don’t have so many distracting thoughts in their minds.

Without thoughts and worries, the power of the subconscious mind becomes weaker and weaker, the soul is nourished, and you will naturally live longer. If you talk to these old people about depression, they will also find it inexplicable and don't understand why someone has such a strange disease or why they can't get over it.

That is because the amount of information in modern cities is too large. The fragmented information that everyone gets from all aspects every day will influence your emotions, be stored in your subconscious mind, and enhance the power of your subconscious mind. The stronger the subconscious mind, the greater the impact on you. This is the cause of depression.

Therefore, Taoism has always advocated the balance of yin and yang and the dual cultivation of sex and life.

The Buddhist concept of the four elements being empty and cutting off the seven emotions and six desires are all attempts to eliminate sexuality.

But the Plum Blossom Taoist did the opposite. Or, we can say that the method that the Plum Blossom Taoist wanted was the most overbearing. He neither followed the Taoist path nor observed the Buddhist precepts. Instead, he solved the problem with the most overbearing method.

Swallow your nature to nourish your life and resolve your primordial spirit.

He wanted to devour it to nourish his soul.

But it is not easy to do this. After all, as long as human consciousness exists, or as long as you wake up from sleep, the subconscious mind in your brain will download all kinds of junk information like Thunder.

If we store the things we see and think about every day on our computer’s hard drive, even the world’s largest server would not be able to handle all of it.

At this time, your subconscious mind is like a piece of steel and you can't do anything about it.

Therefore, Taoist Meihua thought of a more radical method, the art of soul cultivation.

Let your consciousness return to its original innate state in the womb, just like the chaos when Pangu had not yet created the world, with no distinction between yin and yang, and no distinction between filth and dirt.

But at this moment, your self-awareness has been formed, and you can use this method to devour the energy of your subconscious mind to strengthen yourself.

Therefore, the second level of soul cultivation is also called returning to the womb.

Of course, Xiao Ran was very suspicious that this name was just randomly given by Plum Blossom Taoist.

Otherwise, if such an awesome method were used in other sects, it would have to be given an awesome name no matter what.

For example, true one, return to origin, reverse second level and so on.

Subconsciously, time is something meaningless.

Xiao Ran only felt that his consciousness was becoming stronger and stronger. During this period, he could constantly devour the darkness around him and discover many interesting things from it.

He saw the memories stored in his subconscious mind.

For example, he heard his parents' discussion, the sound of his mother singing while holding him in her arms, and could even clearly feel the feeling of his mother holding him in her arms.

Gradually, as my self-power grows stronger.

The consciousness that was originally sinking began to float up, and faster and faster.

This is not unexpected.

The second level of soul cultivation is the process of continuous sinking and floating.

Self-consciousness is like a piece of constantly expanding bubble. When the subconscious mind finds that it can no longer suppress it, it will take the initiative to throw you out.

However, when Xiao Ran's consciousness gradually began to surface, he gradually saw a flickering light ahead.

A voice suddenly called out to Xiao Ran from behind.

"Are you just leaving like this?" The voice couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but it sounded like thunder in Xiao Ran's ears.

"who!"

This voice was like a curse, causing Xiao Ran to stop in his tracks.

He was sure that this was definitely not the voice of his subconscious, but an external voice.

This is easy to distinguish, or you can feel it without having to distinguish it.

No matter how bad the subconscious mind is, it is still a part of oneself, like blood and flesh, one and the same. So this voice is from outside, how can it be in one's consciousness? ?

Xiao Ran felt confused, but more of a sense of vigilance: "Could it be the guy who just pulled my consciousness in? Is it the god I summoned?"

"Don't you want to know what your parents are like now?"

In the darkness, a blurry figure gradually emerged. The person waved the whisk in his hand and swept it lightly forward.

Another scene appeared in the darkness before him.

A bronze lamp stood in the darkness.

A man raised his hands high, his flesh and blood twisted into a ball, and flames continued to burn on his body.

There was a woman lying next to her, and under the roasting of the flames, her body turned into fat and fell into the lamp dish.

"That is……"

Looking at the faces of the man and woman, Xiao Ran's consciousness was shaken violently.

"I am a ghost who has been unable to survive for three lifetimes. My father is a wick and my mother is oil. I have been stealing my life to survive for a moment. Doesn't this sound familiar to you?" (From Chapter 74.)
When Xiao Ran heard this, the origin of this sentence immediately emerged in his mind. It was one of the three comments he received when his life lock was broken.

"Who the hell are you!!"

Xiao Ran asked, but his eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the lamp. He suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart and tried to get closer.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran felt someone pulling him. He turned around and saw it was Jin Chanzi. The little Taoist priest's hand was tightly grasping his wrist.

He looked at the figure hiding in the shadows, put one hand on his chest, and chanted: "The skeleton is a seat to suppress the Nine Springs, the cold wind blows the soul and splits the cold stars, do not ask about the book of life and death in the world, a single lamp illuminates the netherworld. I am Jin Chan, I pay homage to the leader of the Yellow Springs, Emperor Jiejie, long live the good fortune and good health!"
