The road is vague

Chapter 148 Seven Apertures Returning to the Origin (Part )
Next.

Lu Tianyou, Wang Zhu, Ma Ling, Niu Li, Tao Ran, Zhao Huaxue, and Shi Yongjie all appeared subconsciously and had interactions with Li Mo.

In Li Mo's subconscious mind, he has a clear conscience towards everyone.

Even Shi Yongjie, after subconsciously projecting himself into Li Mo's world, expressed his gratitude to him, which he had not expressed at first.

That's it.

Li Mo continuously released various thoughts from his subconscious mind, and in the process of releasing them again and again, he gained constant satisfaction and enlightenment deep in his heart.

The so-called clear thoughts and clear conscience do not depend on the judgment of others.

It is the judgment of one's own subconscious mind.

Everyone has a moral standard in their heart.

Whether a person is consistent in body and mind and has a clear conscience, he can deceive the world and everyone, but he cannot deceive himself.

And during this complicated process of perception, Li Mo actually gradually came to like this feeling.

"Little junior brother!"

Jiang Feiyan's hearty and cheerful voice came from the stone steps in the distance.

She waved and greeted Li Mo with a heroic posture, which made Li Mo, who was about to go home after working in the fields for a day, stop and look surprised.

"Sister?"

Jiang Feiyan giggled and ran to Li Mo in a few steps.

She slapped Li Mo's shoulder hard, and Li Mo couldn't help but grimace.

This feeling is so real.

"I guess you're right here, look what I brought."

She took out a book and slapped it on Li Mo's palm.

"Look at you, you're so stupid and dumb! You're already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, how could you have forgotten such an important thing? Master asked me to send you a supplementary cultivation technique. As a talented disciple of our sect, do you really want to practice only one main cultivation technique for the rest of your life?"

Hearing this, Li Mo looked at the book in his hand.

"Six Meridians Cloud Sword!"

Jiang Feiyan smiled triumphantly.

"Master, for some reason, had to switch from the True Spirit Eye Dispersing Technique to this main technique. It's one of the few cultivators in the Lingmu Sect who didn't use the True Spirit Eye as their primary technique. Because of this, they missed out on the selection of the sect's direct disciples, a lifelong regret. Senior Brother Wei Cang and I both chose the Six Meridians Cloud Sky Sword as our secondary technique. As for what technique you chose, don't forget it."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

He knew that the Sixth Senior Sister in front of him was his subconscious.

But apart from that, he always felt that there was something else that seemed not quite right.

Jiang Feiyan stretched out of boredom, her curves graceful and straight.

"Alright, Senior Sister, my mission is complete. I'll be leaving now. Don't forget the most important thing you have here!"

"I see."

Not until Jiang Feiyan left did Li Mo lower his head again and look at the "Six Meridians Cloud Sword".

He wanted to open it several times, but he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important. If he opened this secret book of martial arts, big problems might arise.

What's missing?

When he returned home, Lu Cuicui had already prepared the meal.

Li Mo looked at the fairy from Lingmu Sect who used to be detached from worldly affairs, but now she has become a housewife, busy with pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt every day. Under the wind, sun, smoke and fire, her skin is no longer as delicate as before, and has fallen under a layer of worldly dust.

Her hands gradually began to crack and become rough due to the frostbite.

Li Mo instinctively felt a little guilty, but at the same time he also felt strangely relieved. All the thoughts in his subconscious seemed to become clearer at this moment.

"Husband, are you back?"

"Ah."

Li Mo put down the hoe and looked at the mud on his feet.

He was about to pick up the ladle to rinse, but found that there was no water in the vat.

Lu Cuicui looked apologetic.

"I've used up all the water in the tank."

"It's okay. I'll go fetch some water. You can stay home and take care of your baby. You don't have to do these rough jobs anymore."

Li Mo's gentle words made Lu Cuicui look guilty. She lowered her head, seeming to blame herself.

"I want to share some of your burden, but I'm always clumsy and can't do any work properly. I'm really useless."

"No, I didn't mean that..."

Li Mo suddenly realized something was wrong.

At this moment, I am in my own world, in a sleepwalking state.

So he sighed lightly, found a shoulder pole and bucket to fetch water.

The river water was icy cold in winter. He stood by the river and washed the mud. Then he suddenly thought of something. He shuddered and took out the "Six Meridians Yunxiao Sword" from his arms.

"What I practice is the 'Seven Apertures Returning to the Origin Technique', not the 'Six Meridians Cloud Sky Sword'!"

As he spoke, the "Six Meridians Cloud Sword" in his hand gradually disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes that drifted away in the wind.

"Sixth Senior Sister came here to remind me of this. It's been over two months now. It's time to end it. Thank you."

……

Li Mo in the room suddenly opened his eyes.

He finally ended his practice of the "Seven Apertures Return to the Origin Technique" and no longer lived in a sleepwalking state.

He saw the familiar hut, familiar furniture, and Lu Cuicui sleeping beside him.

"It's been almost two months here."

It seems that Lu Cuicui has been living well here for the past two months.

Just like Lü Cuicui in Li Mo's own world, Lü Cuicui here has always been by his side, trying to integrate into the life of mortals and completely retire to the countryside.

"Sorry……"

Li Mo muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

He looked at Lu Cuicui who was sleeping in front of him, and saw the sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and seemed a little reluctant.

Lu Cuicui seemed to vaguely hear Li Mo's murmurs.

She slowly opened her eyes and noticed that Li Mo was looking at her. A deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she closed her eyes sweetly.

"Husband, are you awake?"

After Lu Cuicui stretched, she leaned gently into Li Mo's arms.

"The baby is kicking me in my belly. I want to give you a fat son, or a fat girl. Do you like a boy or a girl..."

She said sweet words that only Li Mo could hear.

It seemed that Li Mo's self-world and the real world were in perfect harmony, and the development in the real world was the same as he had imagined, but there were more tears in his eyes.

Li Mo reached out and stroked Lu Cuicui's slightly tired and haggard face. His fingers stroked her sunken dark circles, and then looked at her cracked eyes. He gently placed her hands in his arms.

"Does it hurt?"

Lu Cuicui shook her head slightly.

"As long as I'm with you, everything is beautiful."

"sorry."

This was the second time Li Mo said sorry. He could no longer control the tears in his eyes and they rolled down drop by drop.

Lu Cuicui looked puzzled.

Then Li Mo gently stretched out his right hand and touched this beautiful scene.

"This may be the happiness you want, but it's not the happiness I can give you. I don't want you to endure this hardship, nor do I want to choose to be a cowardly escapist."

After hearing this, Lu Cuicui seemed to have some response.

She raised her head and looked at Li Mo, shook her head gently, revealing a relieved smile, and her figure gradually faded.

"Haven't I already told you that since you don't want to retire to the countryside and want to save the world, then I will return to my sect and officially separate from mother like my brother did, and wait for you to solve the problem of the Skyfire Monster."

After saying this, Lu Cuicui disappeared with a smile.

In order to better practice the "Seven Apertures Return to Origin Technique", Li Mo actually entered a deep subconscious state in the form of a dream within a dream, and faced all kinds of subconscious thoughts in his heart!
There was a bang.

Li Mo felt as if his mind had exploded. All sorts of thoughts surged out from the bottom of his heart, stirring his soul and consciousness crazily, and the intensity of his mind continued to increase.

But Li Mo just lay quietly on the wooden bed, watching the last scene of Lu Cuicui disappearing.

He allowed various consciousnesses to constantly impact and stir his soul, but he remained motionless, quietly savoring the feelings of the moment.

Until a group of black filaments like a tangled hemp kept shuttling through his mind, sometimes turning into a black ball deep in his heart, and sometimes showing its fangs and claws on the edge of his mind. Li Mo felt this group of subconscious mind representing his inner world, and slowly wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes.

"The Seven Apertures Returning to Origin Technique is complete."

He finally had his first auxiliary practice technique.

……

Let’s go back to two months ago.

Lu Cuicui snuggled in Li Mo's arms, a blush of happiness on her face.

She stretched out her right index finger and kept drawing circles on Li Mo's chest.

"I don't want to go back. Take me away from the sect and go to a place where she can never find us. From now on, we can live in seclusion in the countryside and stay together forever, okay?"

Lu Cuicui was extremely confused.

"Actually... the reason why Mother brought me out this time is because she plans to take me to meet a wandering cultivator named Old Monster Tianhuo. I was originally planning to do the same as my brother and submit a formal application to the sect to separate from Mother, but I remembered that you were here too, so I came here..."

The room fell into silence.

Lu Cuicui's left hand was trembling behind her back, and her face showed a little uneasiness.

Li Mo listened quietly to Lu Cuicui's sad complaints, his thoughts seemed to gradually enter the ethereal world, and his mood fluctuated several times.

After a long time.

Li Mo's face showed pain and determination.

"Cui Cui, I won't take you away!"

His determination triumphed over the pain.

"What I want is a bright and beautiful life. I want to make not only Bai'an County, Lingmu Sect, and Daqian Nation better, but also everyone, including you and me! You want to retire to the countryside... because you don't understand the hardships of that kind of life. It's just a temporary affluence after someone has had enough of the good life, or a spiritual haven for the cowardly to escape the harsh reality. That's not happiness."

Li Mo looked at Lu Cuicui.

"You should go back to the sect and take shelter for a while. When my master Xiyue comes out of seclusion, I will go and ask him to come forward and solve the problem of the old monster Tianhuo!"

The room fell silent again.

Until the sky gradually darkened, Lu Cuicui slowly stood up and revealed an indescribable complex smile.

"I'm waiting for you."

She began to put on her clothes and looked at Li Mo with tears in her eyes.

"My heart is not made of stone, it cannot be turned. My heart is not made of mat, it cannot be rolled up. After I return this time, I will not take a single step outside the sect until you have solved the problem of the Skyfire Monster."

"I send you."

After half a stick of incense.

Li Mo stood in the wilderness, watching Lu Cuicui's lonely and desolate back as she returned to Qingming Mountain at night. His heart was filled with unspeakable hesitation, confusion and bewilderment.

“I know, I know my heart, I don’t know, I know.”

A thought arises in my mind, and I feel uneasy.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the opportunity to practice the Seven Apertures Return to Origin technique that Lu Qi had mentioned had arrived.

He clenched his fists, stood in the night for a while, and after sending a sound transmission talisman to Jiang Feiyan, he also left Bai'an County and went to Shanbei Village, Hua'an Town alone.

He wanted to understand the difference between the subconscious self-world and the objective real world, and practice the "Seven Apertures Return to the Origin Technique".

……

"Is this the amplification of divine consciousness brought about by the Seven Apertures Returning to Origin Technique?"

Li Mo muttered to himself.

He could clearly sense the changes in his own spiritual thoughts.

Often, the more restrictions a martial art has, the more powerful it will become after practicing it.

Compared to when he returned to Shanbei Village alone two months ago, his spiritual power at this moment has suddenly doubled, reaching an exaggerated level comparable to that of a cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

Moreover, this divine consciousness also has a special property. It is formed by the gathering of his various subconscious minds. These subconscious minds are like a tangled black thread. Even if Li Mo does not deliberately suppress them, with his clear conscience and body and mind being in harmony, these subconscious minds will not cause any backlash to Li Mo such as polluting his thoughts.

It is as if both parties have accepted the same culture, beliefs, goals, and ideals, and their hearts are upright!

They all have absolute confidence in their other side.

Li Mo and his various subconscious minds believe that the other party is a person whose ideals are greater than his desires, instead of being afraid that the other party will know his secrets and then find ways to frame him, try to dominate sovereignty, and then cut himself or seal the other party.

If both parties truly understand each other and work hard for the same goal, they will naturally become inseparable.

This is what is called like-minded people.

Just as Lu Qi said, once this technique is mastered, it will be the best way to cultivate an external incarnation.

External incarnations are different from mechanical puppets and are not completely controlled by people. Both parties are the main body and the avatar of each other. They both have a certain subjective consciousness, but the division of labor is different.

But adding auxiliary skills also comes at a price.

From now on, the speed of practitioners' cultivation will slow down by 10% to 20%.

Li Mo opened his spiritual eyes and looked in all directions!
Gradually.

He began to see things he had never seen before.

It was a larva more than ten feet away, breaking out of its egg.

Those are the cracks in the rocks in the field, and dew is dripping.

Those are earthworms in the field, turning over the soil.

Those are the countless pores on my body, opening and closing...

This is an objective and real world. The details that are instinctively ignored by countless people do not exist just because I know about them. They are also part of the world of mountains and seas. They are real and objective truths. Li Mo is constantly examining some details that are ignored in daily life objectively from a third-party perspective.

"Precision."

Every disciple of Lingmu Sect not only sees differently, but also thinks differently after seeing it.

After seeing this scene, Li Mo first thought of using matrix puppetry.

The ability of the True Spirit Eye will allow him to gain a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the subtle changes in the puppet's internal structure, and examine everything from an objective perspective.

This means that he can use the objective gaze of the True Spirit Eye, combined with his sophisticated swordsmanship and formation skills, to continuously develop more advanced matrix puppets.

after awhile.

Li Mo came outside the house and heard shouting in the distance.

This is Zhang Qinchang honing his strength in the fields.

"Brother Zhang Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment, then ran over in surprise.

"Xiao Mo, you finally woke up!"

Zhang Qin was covered in sweat, grabbing Li Mo's shoulders with an extremely excited expression, and concern was revealed in the depths of his eyes.

"Did you get into trouble outside? If you have any trouble, don't resist. Tell me. I'm about to take the examination for the chief constable. You might become a chief constable in the future. I'll help you find a solution!"

The constable, the captain of the police, and the head of the martial arts department correspond to the third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate masters in the martial arts world respectively.

"I……"

Li Mo looked guilty.

"You've been taking care of me for the past two months?"

"Ugh."

Zhang Qin sighed and shook his head.

"I only come back every few days. It's mainly because my parents are looking after you. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's not very convenient for her. But these past few days, apart from not paying much attention to others, you haven't had any major problems with your daily life. It's like you're sleepwalking, sometimes mumbling to yourself, and occasionally you'll come to my house and call out Lu Cuicui."

"Thank you, I'm fine now. I won't sleepwalk anymore."

Li Mo expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Haha, that's good. You're a doctor, so you know more about this than me. But forget about the thank you or anything like that. We brothers don't need to say that!"

Zhang Qin smiled heartily and patted Li Mo on the shoulder.
