On a frosty day in late October, dead leaves turned into butterflies and fell from the trees. The wind carried the fallen leaves hesitantly across the gray-yellow land until they reached a thatched cottage, where they slowly piled up and stacked up under the six-inch threshold.
Inside the thatched cottage, there seems to be a majestic and mysterious sculpture. The sculpture is sleeping on its side in the middle of the thatched cottage. Some dust has gathered around it and it looks gray, which is reminiscent of the clay Bodhisattva in the temple.
Click…
Click click click…
Cracks suddenly appeared all over the body of the Clay Bodhisattva. Even though nothing happened in the thatched cottage, the cracks gradually expanded and finally spread to the entire body of the Clay Bodhisattva.
Immediately afterwards, there was no movement or sound, and all the mud and dust covering the sculpture turned into powder, turning into the finest and softest dust particles, which quickly floated everywhere and disappeared in an instant.
The dust accumulated in the thatched cottage was also swept away, and it looked spotless in an instant.
But the strange thing is that the spider webs in many corners are motionless, as if the air flow has a direction. It only shakes away the mud and dust, but does not move the trembling little spiders on the spider webs.
The weeds move with the wind.
The brows of the statue in the hut also move.
There was also a sculpture of a graceful fairy outside the thatched cottage. It seemed to be a chain reaction. This sculpture also had cracks and the dust around it shattered. It only caused some movement and noise, but was not as clever as the sculpture inside the cottage.
The "Clay Bodhisattva" inside the hut is naturally Xia Ji who is sleeping in the "Karma Relic" in the back hill of Wangjia Town, while the fairy sculpture outside the hut is naturally Mrs. Xue.
If Mrs. Xue's body was not stained, as soon as she opened her eyes, the fallen leaves and dust on her white gauze dress would have automatically slipped away, and she stood up gracefully, her delicate face with apricot pupils lightly closed, her tall body slowly turned around, facing her Xia Ji bowed gracefully in his direction.
"The year is profitable."
"The students are here."
"How many years have passed now?"
"Sixteen years have passed."
"Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, teacher, everything is going well.
Master Xiao Su has found the balance of his body in the past sixteen years and no longer suffers from the pain of backlash.
In addition, Mr. Xiao Su is still searching for and activating the twelve golden people, and now he has almost found them all.
During the Chinese New Year last year, she returned to Wangjia Town and had a conversation with the teacher at the entrance to the mountain. By that time, she had already activated eleven golden figures. "
Xia Ji nodded slightly.
He was sitting in the back hill of Wangjia Town and has had a dream ever since.
And because he has the incense of the human religion for more than 1,600 years, and the sinful karma of killing more than 36 million people, such a huge karma makes him capable of attacking and defending in his dreams, and it is almost impossible to be robbed by the demon. Trapped.
Others can only choose good karma or bad karma, but he has combined both karma, and now he is only one chance away from complete integration.
While Xia Ji was silent, Mrs. Xue was also quietly sizing him up.
The ancestor of Baiyun Villa only felt that the teacher must have reached a higher level now, and some clues could be seen from the appearance of this one.
The teacher at this time is neither the respectful and gentlemanly person he was more than 1,600 years ago, nor the "dark red eyes and burning black hair that made a woman's heart flutter at the first sight" 16 years ago. appearance,
He seemed to be an ordinary man, but the aura around him was mysterious and mysterious, and his every move made people couldn't help but feel close and admired.
But even though I was close and admired him, I just felt like he was separated by a galaxy and not in the same world.
Looking again, the feeling of alienation has disappeared. The teacher is still a teacher, just like every romantic talent you see in the mountains and rivers, every drunken poet and knight-errant singing wildly in the wine shop, or the coir raincoat fishing by the lake. Hermit, it's just that if you look at the teacher, you will never forget him. But if you are asked to say something special, you can't say anything. You just feel that this person is unique, unparalleled in heaven, and unmatched on earth.
And such an incomparable person seems not satisfied with his current situation.
His expression moved slightly, but he never looked at the heaven and earth, or the earth-shattering things. He just cast his eyes on the spider web in the corner of the thatched cottage.
Mrs. Xue followed his gaze.
Xia Ji is looking at a tiny spider.
The spider has eight legs, eight eyes and two tentacles.
It was hanging on the web. It was late autumn and the weather was cold. The spider's body, as light as a feather, was trembling in the wind, like an old man in his dying years. He was about to die. Perhaps he would die quietly in the next moment without any trace. People will notice it and care about it.
Xia Ji raised his hand and flew a little higher.
The karma fell on that little spider.
This karma contains both good karma and bad karma.
The little spider immediately began to undergo layered changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
First, the body thickens and hardens, and the luster of the black and white stripes becomes more and more vivid.
Then, the eight legs were like sickles, and an inner blade flashing with cold light appeared.
Then, it began to grow in size, from barely the size of a fingernail to the size of a fingernail, then to the size of a finger, then to the size of a knuckle, and then to the size of a fist, giving off a dangerous aura.
However, its eight pupils became more complex, from a single eye that could only sense the intensity of light but could not see objects, to an animal-like pupil, and the pupils began to slowly become spiritual, so that It turned.
As soon as Xia Ji stopped his hand, the original spider web could no longer support the spider and was torn apart.
The spider landed on the ground and looked around curiously and blankly, like a blind man who has just seen the light, or a baby who has just seen the world.
The spider turned its eyes and saw the man in the center of the thatched cottage again. For some reason, it felt an indescribable feeling of closeness in its heart, and it crawled towards Xia Ji with its claws and legs.
As soon as he climbed up, the ground suddenly shattered into pieces.
Whenever it crawls over, the ground is like being stabbed hard by the tip of a spear, causing it to spread and shatter.
The spider suddenly became excited and was ready to crawl around.
But as soon as he moved, he heard a stern "presumptuous" sound.
It actually understood these two words, so it stopped instantly, like a child who had done something wrong and was scolded by its parents, lying obediently at Xia Ji's feet, not daring to move.
This kind of spiritual wisdom is much stronger than the ant that Xia Ji transformed into when he was fighting Yuan Qing's karma in Yunzhou.
Mrs. Xue was really amazed when she saw it.
She has never heard that karma can also open up spiritual intelligence, let alone that karma can directly promote the evolution of species.
But she was not surprised, no matter what miracle happened to the teacher, she would not be surprised.
After Xia Ji finished this action, he fell into thinking.
Not long after, he raised his sleeves and waved, and a huge amount of karma suddenly filled the entire thatched cottage.
There are a lot of spiders in the thatched cottage, and now they are all shrouded in karma.
After a while…
Six more spiders that had evolved and had their intelligence turned on lay in front of Xia Ji, and many of their eyes looked at Xia Ji with watery eyes.
Xia Ji said: "All good and evil will return to me. Remember to reward good and punish evil. Don't slack off. Go."
The seven spiders were like children who heard their parents say "Let's go out and play" and crawled away.
One of the smaller spiders climbed back two steps, rubbed against Xia Ji's boots, and then reluctantly crawled away.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xue had a better understanding of the intelligence of these spiders. She felt that the teacher was really a celestial being, unfathomable.
Xia Ji stood up, as if he had just woken up, and stretched his body, "I'm so hungry."
Mrs. Xue said: "I will tell the people in the town and ask them to prepare a banquet for the teacher."
Xia Ji smiled and said: "No, please accompany me to the back mountain for a walk. I know there is a stream behind the mountain. Now in late autumn, the fish should be fatter. With the abundant spiritual energy here, they must be fatter." Since it’s so fat, why not let’s grill some fish?”
This time, Mrs. Xue was really shocked.
She thought the teacher had stopped killing.
Now it seems that this is not the case, but that the teacher's thoughts have reached a state that she cannot understand. After thinking about it carefully, she seems to understand something.
Mrs. Xue looked again and saw that the teacher's Adam's apple was rolling, as if he was swallowing saliva. She was even more shocked.
The teacher is actually greedy
this…
She just felt that the teacher's image of an unfathomable master was suddenly broken...
But then I thought about it, and I felt that the teacher who was already as untouchable as a galaxy, how could he suddenly be so alive
While she was thinking in a daze, a voice came from the distance:
"Let's go, Nian Ying, don't be in a daze."
"Here we come." Mrs. Xue responded hurriedly.
This sound made her suddenly have a strange feeling. Her heart seemed to be young again. She was obviously a transcendent ancestor, but now there were some elements of a little girl in her mind.
Mrs. Xue followed this feeling, and she suddenly felt a little dazed. The teacher walking on the long steps of Hanshan Mountain in the distance seemed to be a father, or an elder brother, and she was just a girl in the mountains, following her everywhere. Come over and get some food together.
Then, while the two of them were walking, they found a lot of spiders in the mountains. Xia Ji seemed to be staring at the spiders. Whenever he saw a spider, he would gently wave his sleeves, put the spider away, and wait until he got there. By the time he reached the lower reaches of the stream, he had twenty or thirty spiders in his sleeves.
He dropped the spider on the ground, picked up four small dead branches, and stuck them in the mud.
And there is an invisible barrier between dead branches, and those spiders can't escape.
After doing this, he took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, stepped into the stream, and started catching fish.
Mrs. Xue was stunned.
catch fish…
Is this necessary
She just closed her eyes and with a wave of her hand, she could pull out all the fish in half of the stream.
If she picked off a branch and put it directly into the water, she could make the branch swim like lightning in a moment, and in a few seconds, she could string up a whole string of fish.
While I was thinking about it, a "pop" sound suddenly came from the distance.
Mrs. Xue looked quickly and saw the teacher suddenly fell into the water.
Mrs. Xue didn't know what happened, but she knew that it must be something big that could make the teacher fall.
So, she was extremely decisive. She waved her hands, and many blue flying swords suddenly appeared behind her. The flying swords caused a change in the climate of the heaven and earth, causing the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly. It dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant, and it was still dropping. The dead grass on the ground began to be covered with frost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The frost spread rapidly, with her body as the center of the ice and snow area, spreading crazily to the surrounding areas, as if winter had arrived.
There were sixteen flying swords in total, forming an extremely extraordinary array and protecting her in the center in an instant.
And almost at the same moment, a gray shadow flew out of her body. The shadow held a knife in its left hand and right hand, and rushed towards Xia Ji like lightning.
Then, the shadow rushed directly into Xia Ji's body, and a layer of soul shield was formed around Xia Ji. In this way, she could understand the teacher's status, assist the teacher in offense and defense, and control herself remotely. The ice sword formation around the body.
However, as soon as she entered the teacher's body, Mrs. Xue was a little dumbfounded.
Nothing happened to the teacher.
Xia Ji stood up with his hands on his hands and glanced sideways at Mrs. Xue who was standing over his shoulders.
Mrs. Xue looked confused.
Xia Ji said: "The rocks in this water are too slippery."
Mrs. Snow:…
Xia Ji said: "Stop the sword array, the fish and spiders will freeze to death."
Mrs. Xue let out a resentful "Oh", and her soul flew back to her body. With a wave of her hand, the sixteen ice swords returned to the storage space. Then she sat with her long legs crossed on the teacher's four branches. Standing beside the "cage" set up, looking at the spider, I was speechless.
Xia Ji said: "Are you angry with the teacher?"
Mrs. Xue said: "Students will not be angry with their teachers."
Xia Jidao: "I just used all my karma to temporarily seal all the power of my body, and my life level was extremely reduced to that of an ordinary person, so slipping is normal."
Mrs. Snow was shocked.
Karma can actually be used in this way
No, and you can actually turn yourself into an ordinary person
This is not practical at all, okay
While Xia Ji was catching the fish, he asked, "You must be curious about why I do this."
Mrs. Xue thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Teacher, do you want to experience the life of ordinary people?"
Xia Ji shook his head and said: "From the perspective of bacteria, a grain of sand is like a mountain, but from the perspective of humans, sand is still sand.
To humans, a mountain is just a mountain, but to the stars, no matter how big a mountain is, it is just a grain of sand.
But are the stars very big? Looking at the galaxy, the stars are just grains of sand.
Is the galaxy big? From the perspective of star clusters, galaxies are not even as good as sand.
Are star clusters big? Compared with this vast universe, star clusters are nothing.
But, is the universe big? At the beginning of the universe, before chaos, I knew nothing about it, but everything must have come into existence from scratch, from small to large. Everything in this vast world was once a grain of sand. "
Mrs. Xue murmured: "Just a grain of sand..."
Xia Ji said casually: "As a teacher, I only have a little understanding. This person should die for a hundred years if he obeys his destiny. Only if he goes against his destiny can he break through the limits and follow the evolution of the universe to pursue the great road.
However, I always feel that although obedience can lead to ordinary people and adversity can lead to immortality, in the end, only by breaking out of obedience and adversity can one achieve the great path. I don’t know what the way is, but this is my heart as a teacher, so I just follow what my heart wants. "
Mrs. Xue felt that these words were unfathomable, and in the blink of an eye, she saw the teacher flopping in the stream again.
After a long time, the teacher finally caught two fat fish, and climbed ashore in a sorry state but with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Xue started, and soon the fish was roasting on the bonfire.
Mrs. Xue began to rotate the grilled fish, while Xia Ji sat aside, and his life level was restored with a single thought.
He raised his hand and pointed at the "cage made of four small dead branches", and the vast karma rushed down and poured onto the dozens of spiders, causing them to begin to evolve and open up their spiritual wisdom.
When everything was ready, he let the spiders go to the forest again.
Mrs. Xue's grilled fish was also ready. She took some spices from the storage space and sprinkled it on it, then handed one to Xia Ji.
The two of them were about to eat when a rustling sound suddenly came from the distance.
Mrs. Xue looked sideways and saw seven spiders holding small red fruits high, crawling quickly to Xia Ji from the distant forest, and then placed all the small fruits at Xia Ji's feet like a treasure.
Suddenly, a strong fruity aroma hit the nostrils. It was obvious that these small fruits were not ordinary fruits. If this kind of fruit was eaten by a mortal warrior, it would increase his skill for countless years in an instant.
But to Xia Ji, this is just an ordinary fruit...
However, Xia Ji did not want to interfere with the good intentions of these little things, so he accepted them directly, and then took a few strands of fish meat and threw them to the little spiders.
In the dusk, two people and a few spiders started a dinner party.
