In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 105 Escape!!
Waving the whip while walking has become an unconscious action.

Born from the natural wonders of the mountains, it has the effect of replenishing essence and boosting energy.

Body tempering?
As expected of Daheishan, it's full of treasures.

In his eyes now, spiritual plants are only distinguished by whether they cultivate the physical body or the mind.

Xie Lingxin squatted down and examined her closely.

Green leaves, purple roots, and a sense of coolness even from a distance.

Familiar information flashed through my mind—

[The *Immortal's Elixir Classic* states: There is a thousand-year-old leek that grows in deep ravines, with green leaves and purple roots; eating it prolongs life.]

"Awooo!"

A thousand-year-old leek? Master, this is a treasure!
"You know him too?"

"Ouch!"

Of course! This thousand-year-old leek is one of the most beloved foods of those who cultivate Taoism. It is cool in nature, but warms the body when it enters the stomach, thus harmonizing Yin and Yang! It can also replenish essence and Qi, and prolong life.

"Awooo!"

It is most in line with the nature of a Taoist practitioner.

Xie Lingxin was even more delighted: "Can you grow it?"

"Awooo!"

The mountain god stood up, raising his tiger head.

That's natural!

"Ouch!"

Master, have you not heard that hair is like chives, and can grow back after being cut?
Even a thousand-year-old leek is still a leek, and among spiritual plants, it's considered easy to grow!
Although Xie Lingxin was greedy, she did not dare to go too deep into the Black Mountain.

We only searched the surrounding area.

As night approached, a total of 5 ancient leeks were found, but no others.

This place seems to be a cluster of thousand-year-old leeks.

Looking at the sky, I dared not stay there until dark.

Suppressing their burgeoning greed, they left the Black Mountain and returned to the Fallen Soul Slope.

"Wangcai, come in."

Xie Lingxin opened the pottery jar.

He planned to leave the realm.

"Ow!"

Wangcai was obedient; it barked once and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the jar.

Xie Lingxin entered a meditative state, communicating with the Heart Candle, and instantly felt a pulling force.

Drawn by its force, a streak of light flashed, and the figure disappeared into it.

at the same time.

Shen Wen, who had been guarding the door of Xie Lingxin's chamber, seemed to sense that the heart candle had gone out. Fearing something was wrong, he suddenly kicked the door open.

Xie Lingxin just opened her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Wen frowned and asked, "You came out early?"

"hold head high."

"Humph!"

Shen Wen's face darkened, and he turned and left.

"?"

Xie Lingxin felt completely bewildered.

Something wrong.

Little did he know that Shen Wen had been desperately seeking this opportunity to gain experience in the realm, yet he did not cherish it at all.

He left early before the appointed time, how could we be unhappy about that?
"Hey, did you touch my phone?"

Xie Lingxin saw his phone lying to the side; he remembered clearly that it wasn't in its original place.

“Someone has been trying to contact you several times, it sounded urgent, so I answered the call for you.”

Shen Wen's displeased voice drifted in from outside.

"Who?"

"Note: Lao Xie"

Old Xie?

What kind of trouble is he up to now?

Although Xie Lingxin was very unhappy that Lao Xie was still unrepentant and couldn't forget a scumbag woman, she still had some feelings for him in the end.

Knowing that he wouldn't contact me unless he was truly forced to, I realized he wouldn't have.

So I decided to go and take a look.

I sent a message to Lao Xie.

"Ah Gou, let's go out and play!"

She called out and came out to find Shen Wen already leaning against the door waiting.

His complexion was still very dark.

He said coldly, "If you need a car in the future, just say so."

Proud!

Xie Lingxin grinned.

In the car.

"Ah Gou, don't be so rude to me. Let me tell you, I'm a future Grand Master of Scriptures,"

"If you flatter me, you can enter any realm you want in the future!"

Shen Wen: "..."

Shen Wen simply drove in silence, completely ignoring his boasting.

Nobody would believe that.

"You don't believe me, do you? Let me tell you, you'll regret this later!"

"Humph!"

Tsk, how come this person has no trust at all?

Xie Lingxin chattered incessantly the whole way, while Shen Wen remained silent.

He has already learned how to deal with a shameless person like Xie Lingxin.

That means ignoring them!

Xie Lingxin's mouth was dry from talking, but she didn't receive a single response, and she was also a little tired.

We had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Why only temporarily?

Brother Xie never gives up!
Hmph, there will be a time when I can subdue you!
Not long after, we returned to number 86.

After getting off the bus at the alley entrance, I could see Old Xie sitting at the stone table in the open space in front of No. 86, in the distance, thanks to the streetlights.

"I'll wait here. Just call if you need anything."

Shen Wen also saw through their relationship and said coldly.

Xie Lingxin glanced at him in surprise.

I sensed something was wrong. Although Ah Gou was always dutiful, I had never been this nervous before.

"Row."

Walk to the stone table.

"Speak, what do you want now?"

Xie Dongshan seemed to be in a daze, but when he heard this, he was startled. He looked up and saw that it was Xie Lingxin, and he quickly smiled.

"You're here? Sit down quickly! It's been a long time since we had a proper chat."

Xie Lingxin chuckled.

"I'd like to talk to you, but you're hardly ever home throughout the year. I'm genuinely curious, is your lousy school really that dependent on you?"

Xie Dongshan gave an awkward smile: "Let's not talk about this."

"Okay, say whatever you want, I'm listening."

Xie Lingxin sat down with her arms crossed, looking at him with an expression that said, "You perform, I'll just watch."

Xie Dongshan looked flustered: "Uh...it's nothing, I just wanted to come and see you."

Xie Lingxin glanced at him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Looking at me? That's rare. Now that you've seen me, are you alright?"

Xie Dongshan pretended not to understand his meaning of "seeing the guest out" and grinned lewdly:
"Lingxin, tell your father how your work at the Environmental Protection Bureau is going? Is it going smoothly?"

Xie Lingxin pursed her lips and casually replied, "It's fine."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xie Dongshan glanced at Shen Wen in the car in the distance: "Is that your colleague? That's good. Get along well with your colleagues. Everyone thinks you've always been glib, shrewd, and a troublemaker."

"But I know you're ambitious and stubborn, always wanting to win everything, and there aren't many people you'd even look up to,"

He chuckled self-deprecatingly: "With our backgrounds, how many people would actually want to cultivate themselves?"

“That kid Ma Fei is just doing it for fun for a moment. You’re different. You’ve been working hard on this since you were a child, and you’ve never changed.”

"I originally thought you would give up easily, but I didn't expect you to actually do it."

"Sigh, if I had known, I should have helped you..."

Xie Lingxin frowned deeply as she listened: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"You don't just realize how awful you were before, and now you want to enjoy some filial piety?"

"Let me tell you, it's already quite an achievement that I can sit here with you calmly."

Xie Dongshan gave a bitter smile: "Yes, I am an irresponsible father... no, I don't deserve to be a father."

"Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just feel that I haven't done a good job over the years."

“Now that you’re all grown up, there’s probably no point in me trying to make it up to you. Seeing that you’re doing well, I’m at ease.”

He then stood up and said, "Nothing much, just came to see you. By the way, I've already transferred the house to your name. You can decide what to do with it. I'm going back to school."

He put down a document, turned around, and left.

Xie Lingxin was completely confused.

"Oh, right."

Xie Dongshan, who had only taken a few steps, turned back.

"what?"

Xie Dongshan hesitated and asked, "Are you really not busy at work lately?"

"Didn't I say it was fine? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Xie Dongshan was a little cautious in front of him, not at all like a father.

Upon hearing this, he quickly smiled apologetically and said, "That's good, that's good, um..."

"I think you seem a bit anxious, and I'm worried that you might be having some difficulties at work..."

"I already said no..."

Xie Lingxin was speechless.

Xie Dongshan continued to smile apologetically, rambling on, "It's good that it's not there, it's good that it's not there."

"I just wanted to tell you that no matter what happens, Dad will always be on your side,"

"You know, your dad doesn't have many strengths, except that he's quite well-read,"

"Although I haven't been exposed to spiritual practice, with the information explosion we have today, I've heard about it all. Spiritual practice, aside from fighting and killing, prioritizes the mind."

"After all these years of studying, your father has only come to understand two words: sincerity and clarity."

When Xie Dongshan talked about reading, he even started shaking his head and saying, "In ancient times, there were not only myths and immortals, but we scholars could also produce sages."

"The sage said, 'Sincerity' is the inherent law governing the universe. To be sincere to Heaven and Earth is to emulate them and learn the laws governing the universe."

"As the saying goes, sincerity is the way of Heaven; to strive for sincerity is the way of man." "Sincerity by nature leads to understanding."

"Learning is like piling up firewood; once you have accumulated enough, you will naturally understand the principles, and with understanding the principles, you will become sincere."

"Simply put, it's enough for a person to understand the principles and be sincere."

"Don't ask for too much; you can't get it by begging."

"I don't know how you cultivate your mind, but I think the principles of the universe are all interconnected."

"When you encounter difficulties, try to open your heart and don't be burdened by appearances or confused by desires. When the time comes and you have accumulated enough experience, things will naturally fall into place."

Xie Lingxin: "..."

He stared straight at Xie Dongshan as if he didn't recognize him.

Xie Dongshan felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze: "What...what are you looking at?"

"Hey Lao Xie, it seems you haven't wasted your time reading those books."

Xie Lingxin was truly impressed by his ability to say such things.

It seems that Lao Xie, this Chinese teacher, didn't just coast along.

Xie Dongshan said smugly, "Of course! Your dad has been a Chinese teacher for so many years, how could he not be knowledgeable? You underestimate your dad!"

"Elementary school Chinese teachers still teach this?"

"Well, I'm a teacher, so of course I need to know more."

"Ah!"

Xie Lingxin sneered: "If you really know so much, why can't you do it yourself?"

"If you could really be completely honest and open-minded, would you have been manipulated by that woman for so many years?"

"me……"

Xie Dongshan was speechless for a moment, his face turning red: "Anyway, remember what your father said, don't be too hard on yourself, I'm leaving now."

Xie Lingxin looked at him and suddenly exclaimed, "Did that woman come to see you again?"

After thinking it over, he concluded that the only person who could make Lao Xie act so strangely was that woman.

Xie Dongshan paused slightly, but without turning around, he simply waved and left.

The sight of her back made Xie Lingxin feel somewhat lonely.

Did I guess right?

What kind of trouble is that woman causing now? Is this never going to end?

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

"Ah Gou! Want to come up and sit for a bit?"

Xie Ling thought about it for a while, but didn't take it too seriously. This kind of thing, to put it nicely, is being devoted; to put it bluntly, it's just being pathetic. She'd just have to bear it herself.

He called out to Shen Wen, but Shen Wen only turned his head to look at him and ignored him.

But he showed no sign of leaving; it seemed he intended to stay there as well.

He curled his lips.

You're being a jerk too.

Then just live with it.

Xie Lingxin returned to 1517 and casually placed the documents on the table.

I immediately swallowed two powerful pills to replenish the energy my body had been depleting over the past few days.

With his blood and energy abundant, he began to ponder the reasons for his uncontrolled mind and the changes in the innate mysterious water and thunder diagram visualized in his sea of ​​consciousness.

I tried to contact Bai Ruhui, but I couldn't get through.

They should still be within the domain.

After all, now is the time to besiege and suppress Daheishan.

The same applies to gold.

Since I couldn't find anyone to ask, I had to figure it out myself.

After much thought, I realized it might be similar to the situation where my life force increased dramatically after consuming the nectar last time, causing my mind to become uncontrollable.

The effects of these jujubes are even more exaggerated than those of sweet dew.

Bai Ruhui once said...

"The heart is the ruler, the ears and eyes are the ministers, and the four limbs are the people. Cultivate righteousness, unify qi with form and spirit, and achieve inner and outer harmony."

Taoist and Buddhist practices also share similarities.

It is a kind of balance.

He ate two jade dates, which wasn't so serious at first, but due to the surge in his sexual power, he lost control of his greed and ate another handful of jade dates.

This disrupted the already precarious balance.

Blackwater and Kanyuan Mountain were originally visualizations and concrete images of my own spiritual cultivation.

When the mind is troubled, visualization naturally becomes unstable.

Why is it unstable?
It's probably the "six thieves" that Teacher Bai mentioned that are causing this trouble.

In addition, the desires in one's heart also intensify as one's sexual prowess increases.

The second barrier to the mind is "suppressing desires".

Bai Ruhui only taught him the first two stages of physical cultivation: strengthening the essence and opening the meridians.

There is also the first hurdle of the mind: calming the spirit.

Subduing desires means subduing the desires of the spirit.

Humans have three gods.

The consciousness is the ruler of the six senses; it is acquired consciousness and arises from the five senses.

The primordial spirit is the master of the universe and the origin of the Dao.

There is also a god of desire, which represents primal desires.

He often sees people online talking about calming the mind and subduing desires.

However, the specifics of how to do it were not explained.

After all, this concerns cultivation methods and cannot be spread casually.

He himself had not mastered the techniques of the Subduing Desire God.

This must be because my sexual function is stuck at 9.99, just a hair's breadth away. Even a handful of jujubes couldn't break through this barrier and overcome this obstacle.

The Xuan Turtle Suppressing the Mountain Diagram, the signature technique of the Nanhe Wudang sect, is merely a life-cultivation technique.

The only sexual techniques I've mastered... seem to be the basic conceptual ideas.

Basic concepts and ideas...

Xie Lingxin dug out the lecture videos of Teacher Bai that she had bought earlier.

"The Chinese character for 'person' (人) is composed of two strokes, one left-falling and one right-falling, which resemble a person's two feet. Only by being grounded can one stand firmly, and only by standing firmly can one's heart be upright..."

As the saying goes: "Those who never learn empty words, but are down-to-earth and have a humble heart..."

"The first step is to visualize yourself as a 'person.' Only when you become a 'person' can you rectify your mind, intentions, and thoughts..."

"...Humans have six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought. The beginning of spiritual practice is to restrain one's thoughts and transcend the six senses."

"The first step in spiritual practice is cultivating the mind, also known as calming the spirit..."

"The highest level of basic visualization is to hone our six senses, to bring them under our control, and then to visualize the birth of the seventh sense..."

"Of course, this is only in theory; the basic visualization method can visualize the consciousness."

"Because the fundamental concept was originally created by the Federation's mythology—by the Great Master Mingxin, one of the Ten Immortals and Three Saints,"

"Because of its peaceful nature and the absence of the risk of misfires, the Federation simplified and refined it as an introductory method for spiritual cultivation,"

"Legend has it that if one can truly achieve this, it will be comparable to the aura of ancient immortals and saints, or the aura of modern gods and mortals when they first enter the Dao..."

"But in fact, apart from the Venerable Master Mingxin, no one has ever been able to do it..."

Seeing this, Xie Lingxin looked again at the manifestation of "unimpeded all laws".

[The "Basic Visualization Method" originates from the "Lingtai Visualization." When visualization is perfected, a state of primordial stillness and illumination arises, the Lingtai (spiritual platform) naturally manifests, and the conscious mind is at ease.]

Lingtai Temple...

I searched on my phone, but I couldn't find "Lingtai Guan" in either the trading hall or the internal database.

It seems this technique isn't so easy to come by.

After all, it was a technique that even the Federation had to borrow and adapt into the foundation of cultivation for the entire Federation.

not that simple.

However, since the basic conception originated from the Lingtai View of the Great Master Mingxin, theoretically speaking, it should have a higher level.

Can't I figure it out myself?
After all, he possessed the power of all laws, and could master Yin Thunder without a teacher. He had also refined the Xuanwu Zhenyue Diagram into the Innate Xuanshui Yin Thunder Diagram.

Where should we begin...?

"Ow~"

My mind suddenly felt a strange stirring.

With a thought, the pottery jar appeared in his hand.

It truly lives up to its legendary status!
He recited the incantation with shame, and a flash of light appeared at the mouth of the jar.

"Awooo!"

Wangcai was already lying down at my feet, curiously looking around.

"What are you trying to do? Didn't I tell you to plant trees properly!"

"Awooo!"

Master, I wanted to remind you that the person just now was a rare and highly respected scholar! Aww!
"A great Confucian scholar? Who?"

Xie Lingxin was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Xie Dongshan?!

What a joke!
"You mean that old man from earlier? How could you have seen him?"

"Ow!"

Master, I can sense anything you think of! I've been a mountain god for so many years, so I naturally have some abilities! Aww!
"You say he's a great Confucian scholar? A cultivator?!"

"Awooo!"

No, that person was indeed just an ordinary person, without any trace of cultivation, without any spiritual power, and without the strength to even kill a chicken, but this did not contradict his cultivation as a great Confucian scholar.

Not a cultivator? Xie Lingxin asked doubtfully, "Then what is a great Confucian scholar?"

These days, do such things still exist?

"Awoo~!"

Some scholars in the world are insignificant, lazy, and utterly useless!
But he was also incredibly learned, and every word he uttered shone like the stars and moon in the sky!

It can even make ghosts and gods keep their distance and dare not offend it! Aww!

Such a person has truly internalized the book, and has come to understand its essence!
This is a great Confucian scholar! Wow!
That person was just like that. Even if he still held a minor divine position and his divine path was not severed, as a mountain god, he would still have to bow and retreat upon seeing him, and would not dare to offend him in the slightest!

"..."

Xie Lingxin now thinks it's all nonsense.

However, upon closer reflection, Lao Xie does seem to be acting a bit strange.

When he encountered the face-changing ghost, Lao Xie wasn't scared at all. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been nervous, right?

He acted as if he had seen a ghost long before this.

Moreover, Su Li seemed to have mentioned that ghosts had approached Lao Xie, but he was completely unaffected.

At the time, he thought the Environmental Protection Bureau was protecting him, but now it seems that it may not be as he thought.

I immediately wanted to take out my phone and ask Lao Xie a good question.

I took out my phone, but it rang before I could even dial.

It's a well-known news item.

A friend request.

[Chen Lingguan requests to add you as a friend: Run!!!]

There is additional information following the application.

For a moment, Xie Lingxin's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Previously at the mountain god temple, I was preoccupied with the treasure, so I took the pottery jar and went out. I didn't pay attention to this kid when I came back.

Why is it another escape?
