After dinner, Ye Fan continued to comprehend the "Tao Jing", and he was immersed in a mysterious and mysterious state throughout the night. The golden sea of bitterness spreads and melts, out of nothingness, stars shine, chaos and mist, ever-changing.
It wasn't until the second day that he woke up from this state, without any fatigue, and the life energy in the sea of suffering overflowed, making him feel refreshed.
"Big brother has had breakfast..." Xiao Tingting came up and down and called him to eat, with a happy smile on her face. Although the clothes on her body didn't fit well, they were worn out and had many patches, but it was difficult to conceal the unique brilliance of her brilliant childlike face.
Ye Fan sighed for a while, a child is a child, he experienced such a tragedy yesterday, suffered so much grievance, and cried so sadly, but when he woke up, he was no longer sad, and soon forgot all the unpleasantness.
"Is Tingting happy?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"En!" Tingting nodded earnestly, and said, "Now that there is food, grandpa doesn't have to be reluctant to eat. He kept it for me. Of course Tingting is happy."
Ye Fan was stunned, it turns out that some people's happiness is so simple, and being able to eat enough makes Xiao Tingting so satisfied. Compared with those who try their best to compete for fame and fortune, this standard is really too low, maybe It is precisely because of this simple happiness that such pure truth, goodness and beauty arise.
Seeing her rosy little face full of smiles, so bright, Ye Fan was deeply moved, he patted her head dotingly, and then pulled her out of the house together.
Near noon, the yellow-faced middle-aged man from the Li family came again. Seeing that the small restaurant was closed, he kicked hard a few times, cursed, and said, "Open the door, the uncle is coming to eat..."
Inside the small shop, Tingting was very nervous, her big eyes were full of fear, she leaned tightly on the old man's arms, for fear that those people would break in. Uncle Jiang patted her on the back lightly, comforting her in a low voice.
Ye Fan stood in the room, listening to those ugly abuse, he gradually frowned, his eyes became colder and colder.
"Okay, old man Jiang, if you don't do business, just wait to starve to death. You are in your seventies and eighties. Let me see what else you can do!"
The people outside cursed, smashed the two pots of flowers and plants outside the door, and then scratched the door with a dagger, making it ugly, and then walked away.
"Grandpa..." It was not until a long time later that Xiao Tingting said timidly: "Will those bad guys come tomorrow?"
"It's okay, Tingting, don't be afraid, grandpa won't let them hurt you." The old man kept reassuring her.
Tingting whispered: "Those bad people do evil every day, why don't there be good people to punish them?"
Ye Fan felt that children's words were the most true in this world, and there were many injustices, but it was impossible for someone to take care of them all.
"Tingting don't worry, they will definitely not come tomorrow." Ye Fan squatted down and said with a smile: "Go, go to eat, I will cook you a delicious dish at noon today."
"Big brother, can you cook?" Xiao Tingting's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Look at me, I'll show you something today, I'm sure you've never eaten."
The little girl blinked her big eyes, she didn't believe it at all, and said: "I don't believe it, grandpa can cook all kinds of dishes. In the past, when we still had restaurants, grandpa cooked delicious food for me every day."
"Sweet and sour pork ribs, have you tried it?" Although it is a very common dish in his hometown, Ye Fan believes that it has never appeared here.
Sure enough, Xiao Tingting showed a puzzled look and said, "How can sugar be put together with ribs?" Even the old man next to him was puzzled.
In the end, Ye Fan could only talk on paper, his cooking skills were terrible, but after the old man knew how to do it, he did it himself, and finally served the sweet and sour roe roe ribs perfectly on the table. Full of happy smiles.
Ye Fan likes this harmonious and joyful atmosphere very much, it makes him feel at home, and vaguely allows him to find a kind of sustenance.
After lunch, the old man asked Xiao Tingting to take a nap. He made a pot of rough tea, brought it to the clean Eight Immortals table, and asked Ye Fan, "Son, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive..."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, there won't be any problems. In fact, anyone can be a bad guy, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not."
"what are you up to?"
"If you really think about it, it's not difficult to harm people. I have a hundred ways to retaliate against them. However, there is no need to do that. Just use the simplest method. I will let them take care of themselves and have no way to make trouble again. When you are free later, take care of them."
Ye Fan left the town directly this afternoon, he didn't want to make careful calculations with the Li family, as long as the few people who practiced outside didn't come back, there was no need to do so.
He has already figured out that the Li family has to go to the county town to purchase food and goods every month. They almost monopolize half of the business in the town. Tomorrow is the day to go to the county town for big purchases. The yellow-faced middle-aged man is a steward of the Li family, and he is usually in charge of this matter.
The county seat is seventy or eighty miles away from the small town, which is much more prosperous than the small town, with a population of tens of thousands. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the sound can be heard endlessly. This distance was not a problem at all for Ye Fan, whose physique was far beyond ordinary people, but within an hour, he arrived easily. After exchanging a few prey hunted in the mountains for coins, I bought a lot of candies and snacks for Xiao Tingting, and then I bought some small clothes and shoes for her, and finally I bought the things I need tomorrow.
He didn't go back until it was getting late. The main purpose of coming out today was to check the road between the small town and the county seat, to see where it was desolate and secluded.
Ye Fan didn't come back until it was time to light the lamp. Seeing that he was safe and sound, the old man finally let go of his hanging heart. Xiao Tingting was very happy and excited, holding the beautiful little clothes, with a happy smile on her face. Opening the paper bags containing candy and snacks, she stuffed the delicious food into the mouths of the old man and Ye Fan, and then happily ate it.
"Why doesn't Tingting change clothes?" Ye Fan asked her.
"I'll wear it later, Tingting's current clothes can still be worn." She carefully wrapped up the new clothes.
Seeing the shabby little clothes on her body that had been mended and sewn, Ye Fan felt a little emotional. The children of poor families make people feel a little sad. They are so sensible at such a young age. Although they were casual words, they made him feel a little sad. Difficult to calm down.
"Don't worry, Tingting will wear new clothes every day in the future, go and change." Ye Fan felt that it would be unreasonable for a cute little girl like Tingting and a kind old man like Old Man Jiang to be bullied again. Allow.
That night, Ye Fan continued to comprehend the "Tao Sutra", and he found that when he held the bodhi seed, his heart would be extraordinarily ethereal, and his understanding of the Tao Sutra would obviously be much deeper.
"As expected of the Enlightenment Tree..."
In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Fan left the small town, walked through the mountains and forests, and soon detoured to the road leading to the county town, and a section of the mountain road had to pass through a small canyon.
Ye Fan quickly climbed to the cliff, changed into a black suit here, covered his face, and stepped on a pair of stilts, pretending to be an adult, and then opened all the oil barrels that were prepared here yesterday, Wait quietly for the person who purchased the goods from the Li family to come back.
It wasn't until it was dark that there was a sound of bone rolling on the mountain road. There were more than a dozen large carts, all of which were loaded with goods, ranging from silk cloth and clothing to daily necessities and food.
Ye Fan stood up and threw down the oil drums one by one, the sound of "bang bang" continued, and a dozen or so carts were all drenched in oil, and there was a sudden panic below.
"Oil, it's oil, someone is going to set fire to the car!" The people of the Li family yelled, many people fled in panic, and some people were looking for the person who wanted to set the fire. At this time, someone finally spotted Ye Fan above the canyon. He was tall and dressed in black, and he threw down the torches one by one.
"Puff puff!"
The raging fire suddenly ignited, and a dozen or so carts turned into a sea of flames in an instant. It was impossible to extinguish it, and the flames soared into the sky.
"Who are you, you dare to set fire to the supplies of the Li family? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by monks?" The yellow-faced middle-aged man yelled in panic. With so many supplies destroyed, he had already thought of the terrible end when he went back. .
"boom!"
Another barrel of oil was thrown down and almost hit him on the head, splashing a lot of oil on his clothes, and then a burst of flames fell, the yellow-faced middle-aged man screamed and rushed towards the distant mountain stream desperately. The whole body is full of fire.
Ye Fan glanced at it, and disappeared above the valley, then quickly untied the stilts, took off the black clothes, hugged these things, and flew away.
That night, the entire town of Qingfeng was shaken, and the Li family suffered heavy losses. The supplies in more than a dozen carts were burnt to nothing, and seven or eight people were burned.
Throughout the night, the town was restless, and the Li family went crazy, looking for clues from house to house. For them, this was a huge loss, and the Li family was furious.
It wasn't until late at night that the town calmed down. The Li family felt that the people in this town would not dare to do this. They didn't have the skill and courage. They guessed that they were enemies from afar. send a letter.
That night, Ye Fan quietly left the small restaurant and came to the depths of the mountains. He must improve his strength as soon as possible. I don't know how many miles he went deep into the mountain forest, and finally found a stone cave. Ye Fan sealed himself in it with a huge stone, and then took out all the elixir.
The jade snake orchid is crystal clear and soft like suet jade, overflowing with a refreshing fragrance. The golden tuber left by the ancient wood essence is shining brightly, and the brilliance is flowing.
Holding the bodhi seed in his hand, Ye Fan meditated and studied the "Tao Jing", until he felt the sea of bitterness tremble and felt that he could break through, then he took the jade snake orchid.
Half an hour later, although the cave was blocked by boulders, it still made waves like waves, and golden lights rushed out, like a tsunami, with endless waves and rumbling noises.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that all this calmed down. Ye Fan looked inside and found that the golden sea of bitterness had more than doubled in size. He moved the boulder and rushed out of the cave. His body was light and healthy, and his strength and speed had increased a lot. Like a light smoke, it ran quickly in the mountains and forests.
In the end, he returned to the cave again, sealed the entrance of the cave again with a boulder, swallowed the golden tuber left by the ancient wood essence without hesitation, and then held the bodhi seed in his hand to study the "Tao Sutra".
In the middle of the night, deafening noises erupted in the cave, and the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave collapsed suddenly, and the stones shot out in all directions.
Like a volcanic eruption, or like a nine-day Milky Way pouring out, the cave was filled with dazzling light, the tsunami shook the sky, and the thunder continued. Ye Fan's sea of bitterness turned into a golden ocean, constantly rolling towards the sky.
This situation lasted for a full hour before the terrifying sound gradually calmed down, the divine light gradually subsided, and Ye Fan rushed out quickly. The cave behind him made a sound of "Boom!" and quickly collapsed. It didn't collapse earlier because the golden light was supporting it.
At this moment, it was almost dawn, and the mountains and forests were not particularly dark. Ye Fan felt that his body was full of vitality, and there was a strong energy flowing.
The golden sea of bitterness has been opened overnight from the size of a soybean grain to the size of a pigeon egg, and it has grown several times in size. He was very surprised, it was all caused by the golden tuber left by the ancient wood essence, which contained ten times more life essence than the jade snake orchid, it was really a rare treasure.
Ye Fan couldn't calm down. He found that his body was like a bottomless pit. He didn't have to worry about the medicine being too strong. As long as he could provide enough life essence, he could continue to open up the sea of suffering.
"Could it be that the curse of the Ancient Eucharist didn't appear on me? Or is it a curse? Every step forward requires a huge amount of life essence. If this is the case, the road will become narrower and narrower, and it will be difficult to open up the sea of suffering in the later stage..."
If ordinary people had absorbed so much life essence, they would have already penetrated the sea of suffering, and their bodies would have collapsed. "If ordinary people absorb all these essences of life in a long period of time, the sea of suffering they will open up should be bigger than mine..." Ye Fan pondered, his practice like this is simply a kind of extravagant squandering, and he said to himself: "Is it a waste? , I don't think so."
Because at this time, he found that his sea of suffering was exceptionally condensed. Although it was only the size of a pigeon's egg, it contained nineteen "divine lines" and was extremely vigorous.
"When ordinary people's bitter sea pigeon eggs are big, it may be difficult to condense the 'divine pattern', but my golden bitter sea did it early." Ye Fan didn't feel extravagant, but had a sense of accomplishment. His golden bitter sea was different.
"Chi Chi Chi!"
Ye Fan flicked his ten fingers, and immediately there were more than a dozen "divine lines" shot out, like bright sword lights, piercing through all the rocks in front of him.
"To open up a sea of suffering of the same size, my divine power will be many times stronger than others." This made Ye Fan's thoughts fluctuate.
"However, if I want to cultivate successfully with my physique, I need a huge amount of life essence to back it up." Thinking of this question, he couldn't help frowning.
"However, it's not limited to elixir. If we can find the 'source' mentioned by Elder Wu Qingfeng and cultivate in a treasure land with extremely rich aura, we should be able to break through."
According to ancient records, the era when the Qi of heaven and earth gave birth to all things was chaotic and misty, and the aura was dense and dense. Many spiritual objects could absorb the original essence of the heaven and earth and form amber-like crystals, which contained a huge essence of life.
The ones that have been preserved to this day are called "sources", which are extremely precious to monks, and some top-quality "sources" can be called invaluable.
From the era of the birth of all things to the prehistoric years, the original energy of the heaven and earth gradually became thinner, and it was difficult for spiritual things to produce "origins".
However, in the last glorious period, all things prospered, the creatures were powerful, and there were many elixirs, so many rare "divine origins" were born. Later generations have discovered that there are creatures sealed in the amber-like crystal body. After mining such a "sacred source", it can provide endless life energy.
"That was really an exciting time..."
