A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 155 Blood Cocoon

The shadow baby, when his facial features solidified, pursed his lips as if sucking milk...

With this movement, the originally silent sea of tree spirit light seemed to be summoned by something. Countless green light threads floated up like a school of fish in the sea, circling and swimming between heaven and earth...

The green light was like a predator, madly chasing and absorbing the red thread between heaven and earth...

Soon, every ray of green light that rose from the tree spirit sea of light absorbed the red threads all over its body, and like a stream of red blood, it rushed to the sky and flowed into the small mouth of the light and shadow baby...

As the red light continued to flow in, the hollow body of the light and shadow baby solidified little by little...

However, the amount of blue light threads that floated up from the tree spirit light sea was too astonishing. As time went by, the red threads between heaven and earth were gradually absorbed away...

Just when the red thread between heaven and earth became thin to a certain extent, the little mouth of the light and shadow baby suddenly closed, and the green light thread that was originally circling wildly suddenly stopped as if it had lost its call, and then floated there...

At the same time, the statues of the Four Great Kings no longer emitted mist...

The operation of the Taizang Sutra actually stopped!

"What's going on? The statues of the Four Great Kings have not dissipated, and the time has not yet come. Why is the light and shadow baby above the sky no longer swallowing the light threads..."

Duan Rong stopped chanting spells and looking up at the sky...

Above the sky, next to the milky white fluorescent star, there was a red baby with a solid face and half a hollow body, floating there motionlessly as if in a deep sleep...

Duan Rong soon discovered that the red silk threads between heaven and earth, like willow catkins, had almost been consumed...

Duan Rong immediately understood that it was because he could not sense the existence of the red thread and the Taizang Sutra had stopped functioning!

"It's time to replenish the Dragon Flame Fat!"

If it was a normal practice, the red silk would never be consumed so quickly, but because of the intervention of the tree spirit light sea when he practiced the Taizang Sutra, his speed was already monstrous, which led to the astonishing consumption of the red silk!
Duan Rong sat cross-legged, made seals and chanted mantras, withdrew from his spiritual sea of consciousness, then put on his underwear, picked up the empty wooden basin from the corner, left the room, came to the large water tank in the yard, scooped a new basin of clean water, and returned to the room.

Duan Rong poured out some Dragon Flame Fat from the porcelain bottle again, but this time, based on the time, he poured three times the amount as last time.

Duan Rong looked at the red liquid in the wooden basin, which was slightly purple, and frowned. He took off his underwear, endured the severe pain, and smeared the liquid all over his body...

Duan Rong returned to the surrounding space again, sat cross-legged on the cushion, chanted a spell, and entered the spiritual sea of consciousness again...

It was just that at the moment when Duan Rong chanted the spell and formed the seal, the pores all over his body suddenly felt itchy. He could still clearly feel that something seemed to have penetrated into the pores all over his body and gathered at the back of his head...

As soon as Duan Rong entered the spiritual sea of consciousness, he saw the red threads between heaven and earth spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more and more...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged, chanting mantras and making seals, and the skills of the Taizang Sutra began to work again.

The green light that rose from the sea of tree spirit light began to absorb the red threads between heaven and earth crazily again, and then gathered into a red stream and flowed into the mouth of the light and shadow baby. The hollow body of the light and shadow baby gradually solidified...

After an unknown amount of time, a lifelike, solid baby body glowing red began to float above the sky...

The baby had his eyes closed and curled up, not moving a muscle, like a fetus in deep sleep in the womb.

The red current continued to converge towards him, slowly forming a thin film that enveloped him...

As the red currents gathered, the film seemed to thicken little by little, gradually forming a thin cocoon...

At this moment, the shadows of the Four Great Kings suddenly shook, and then gradually dissipated...

The moment the shadows of the Four Great Ming Kings completely disappeared, the floating green light suddenly stagnated as if it had lost its calling, and then floated there, like a dead object floating in the water, motionless...

"It seems that the time has come..." As the shadows of the Four Great Ming Kings dissipated, the originally settled mist quickly spread, and soon it was floating and rolling between heaven and earth again...

Duan Rong looked at the rolling fog, his mind rolling, and walked slowly towards the sea of tree spirit light in the southeast direction...

Duan Rong walked to the tree spirit sea of light and found that there were only two tree spirits left there. The rest were completely devoured by the red light and shadow baby...

"Only these two tree spirits are not enough for the next practice."

"It seems that if I want to achieve the second level of the Taizang Sutra, I have to go to Wild Boar Mountain again."

Duan Rong looked up at the sky, and saw a red blood cocoon next to a star with a milky white halo in the misty sky...

The blood cocoon gave Duan Rong a strange and restless feeling...

Duan Rong formed seals and chanted a spell, then exited the spiritual sea of consciousness!

The moment Duan Rong left his sea of consciousness, he opened his eyes on the cushion. He exhaled a breath of foul air, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of dejection.

During the entire process of practicing the Taizang Sutra, his soul had to bear the pressure from the four great vidyadharas. Although he had achieved the first level of the Taizang Sutra and his mental strength had improved, he still felt heavy and depressed facing the pressure from the four great vidyadharas.

Duan Rong didn't think any more, put away the landscape paintings hanging around him, climbed onto the bed naked, and as soon as he touched the bed board, he felt dizzy and fell asleep instantly...

Duan Rong slept until dusk. After waking up, he looked at the sunset through the window and roughly knew the time.

He lay there, wondering when to go to Wild Boar Mountain...

In three days, it will be May 15th.

May 15th is the assessment day for trainee escorts to become regular employees, and he must attend.

"How about we finish the assessment first, then go to Wild Boar Mountain?" Duan Rong thought with a twinkling look as he lay on the bed, one elbow resting behind his head.

Duan Rong immediately dismissed this idea. He did not want to postpone the completion of the second level of the Taizang Sutra until after the assessment.

It is better to think about moving forward than to think about stopping!

Duan Rong decided to set off now and enter Wild Boar Mountain tonight! As long as he could return before the assessment and not delay the assessment, it would be fine.

As soon as Duan Rong made up his mind, he jumped out of bed, put on his clothes, and hurried out of the escort agency. He rented a sturdy chestnut horse from a carriage shop, and then went out of the east gate of Xiangu County at dusk.

Duan Rong traveled at night, running all the way, and arrived near Wild Boar Mountain at midnight. He saw a bright moon shining brightly above the rolling mountains!

Duan Rong led the horse to the old man's house where he had kept the horse last time.

Duan Rong stood outside the fenced yard and saw the moonlight casting a silvery glow over the yard. The wooden door of the house was closed and he could faintly hear snoring from inside the house.

"Old Qin, excuse me for disturbing you in the middle of the night!" Duan Rong suddenly shouted as he stood outside the fenced yard.

Then, there was a rustling sound in the house, and the door opened. Old Man Qin put on his coat and stood at the door. He looked at a figure standing outside the fence and asked, "Who is it?"

"Don't panic, old man! I'm the one who deposited the horse last time."

Old Man Qin felt that Duan Rong's voice was somewhat familiar. He looked at him in the bright moonlight, which was reflecting Duan Rong's face. He then looked at Duan Rong's side and saw a horse leading a horse. He suddenly remembered something.

When Duan Rong saw that the old man recognized him, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, apologetically saying, "This happened so hastily. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you in the middle of the night!"
