Chapter 209

"Is this the array eye of the Lotus Dharma Realm?"

Xiao Yu looked left and right around the water tank, but couldn't see any strangeness at all.

The mouth of the water tank was only three feet wide, and inside were two half-withered lotus leaves and a dry lotus seed pod the size of a baby's fist.

The lotus flower should be alive, but it was autumn, so it had faded its green and lost its activity.

At this moment, it looked completely like an ordinary lotus flower.

Even if she opened the Heart Sea Technique and observed with the spiritual eye of the heart, she didn't perceive any strange Yuan Qi fluctuations.

Squire Wang showed a look of recollection and said: "Thirty years ago, I learned from others to sell goods and went out to do business.

On the way back, I met a monk and a Daoist by chance, sitting on a hillside behind a broken temple drinking wine.

I went over and greeted them, and they invited me to eat roast chicken.

The roast chicken was wrapped in a lotus leaf..."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the half-withered lotus leaf in the water tank, "Look, it's it! I brought the lotus leaf home, put it in the water tank, and it actually came back to life, and even grew a lotus flower the second year."

While Xiao Yu was amazed in her heart, she also felt very dissatisfied.

Wang Laotou was not just using the Spring and Autumn brush technique.

He omitted too many key contents.

"How is the Lotus Dharma Realm triggered, how is it controlled? I am not peeping at your family's secrets; I just can't see what is special about the lotus in the tank."

"I don't know, even the name 'Lotus Dharma Realm' was made up by myself," Squire Wang shook his head.

Xiao Yu put her dissatisfaction on her face and said unhappily: "You brought me here, what's the point of you hiding things?"

Squire Wang said helplessly: "I really don't know! Those two immortals playing in the red dust never opened their mouths to say they were giving the lotus leaf to me, nor did they mention any Lotus Dharma Realm.

After discovering they were gods, I... probably like you today, my spiritual machine was triggered, and I felt that the lotus leaf wrapping the roast chicken was a good thing.

I tucked it into my bosom, intending to bring it home.

On the way home, I discovered its extraordinariness.

Carrying it, I was immune to all evils along the way, and could even see some Underworld ghosts and gods, divine path talisman envoys, and the like.

At first, I didn't think about planting it in the water tank.

I enshrined it in my own small ancestral hall... you should be able to imagine the result; my family and clansmen looked at me with abnormal eyes and attitudes.

I didn't care about their eyes, but I suddenly realized that while enshrining it could express respect, it was too conspicuous and too flashy, and not a long-term plan.

So I hid it.

I didn't expect that when I took it out the second year, it was still green.

Then I had the idea of trying to see if it could be replanted."

Xiao Yu felt that this time Wang Laotou was very sincere, at least he told most of the truth.

"Your so-called protection of gods and Buddhas is just picking up a lotus leaf; can a lotus leaf guard the house?"

Squire Wang said seriously: "The lotus leaf is indeed magical, but it is only a manifestation. Without the will of gods and Buddhas, it is just an ordinary lotus leaf and would have rotted away that year.

If gods and Buddhas have the intention of protection, lotus leaves picked at will by the lake and stones picked up by the roadside can become immortal treasures."

Xiao Yu nodded gently; being able to say such things, Wang Laotou really has a bit of "spiritual machine."

"Do you know the names of those two immortals?"

Squire Wang shook his head: "If I knew their names, would I only enshrine the lotus leaf?"

Xiao Yu suspected he wasn't telling the truth.

They met and chatted, and didn't report their names and origins?

You report your name, and out of politeness, the other party must give a title.

"How did you determine they were immortals?" she asked again.

"Their conversation was extraordinary, open-minded and unrestrained, and finally they flew to the sky, riding the clouds and mist to leave; if they aren't gods, what are they?" Squire Wang said.

"The roast chicken and wine they ate, did you drink it, did you eat it?" Xiao Yu asked.

Squire Wang shook his head regretfully, "They were very enthusiastic, invited me to eat and drink, but I had already eaten two sesame cakes and drank half a pot of clear water before, so my stomach was full and I couldn't eat.

And that roast chicken was thin and small, looking like a roast quail, and the wine bottle could be held in one palm—but the monk and Daoist were tall and big... I was worried they wouldn't have enough to eat, so I gave them the remaining sesame cakes in my bag to eat!"

Xiao Yu could see that there was not only regret on the old man's face but also thick remorse.

Clearly, he also discovered that he had missed the greatest immortal fate.

"I have a bit of immortal blessing, but no immortal fate~~~" he sighed.

Seeing an immortal and picking up a lotus leaf is a blessing.

Drinking the wine and eating the roast chicken is the possibility of stepping onto the immortal path and obtaining immortal fate.

"You are an honest man," Xiao Yu felt a bit unfair for the old man again.

Do honest people deserve to miss immortal fate?

Squire Wang saw her thoughts and sighed: "You must be a good person who accumulates virtue and does good deeds to have the blessing of seeing an immortal.

But opportunity is another matter; you have to grasp it yourself."

If he wasn't honest enough and was a cunning person, he wouldn't have been able to see the immortals at all.

As for the roast chicken and wine...

They might be immortal items, or they might just be ordinary things; the key is whether he could "have a spiritual machine move."

Just like after the immortals left, looking at the lotus leaf on the ground, his "spiritual machine" was finally triggered... a bit late, but in the end, it wasn't gaining nothing.

Xiao Yu put Wang Laotou's words in her heart and savored them carefully, feeling that what he said was really reasonable.

At least in this world, it counts as experience.

"Since the lotus leaf is an immortal item, can I pull it out and take a look?"

"What's the difference between pulling it out to look and looking at it like this? Hurry up and go find Cui'er!" Wang Laotou waved his hand to drive her away.

Xiao Yu didn't want to leave yet and asked again: "This lotus seed pod is already withered; can you pick it and give it to me?"

Wang Laotou didn't say a word, immediately plucked the withered lotus seed pod, handed it to her and said: "Take it, go quickly!"

There was no need to take the lotus seed pod and observe it carefully; just looking at Wang Laotou's attitude, Xiao Yu understood that the "spiritual machine" was not in the lotus seed pod.

However, she still took the lotus seed pod and explained: "Do you know about the matter of me beheading the evil god who impersonated an angel at the government office entrance?"

Squire Wang's mouth twitched slightly, "I don't care much about things outside, hurry up and go!"

—This old Wang has lost the honesty of his youth!

Xiao Yu scolded him for being slippery in her heart, and said sincerely on the surface: "I was able to behead the evil god Killing Killing Ge Qing mainly because of Pure Yang Sword Qi..."

She used easy-to-understand words to explain the matter of purifying the military evil energy and letting it give birth to a bit of Yang nature.

Then she said: "The reason I am interested in the Lotus Dharma Realm is that its aura is a bit like Pure Yang evil energy.

Of course, it is immortal Qi, not evil energy; what is similar is only that bit of Pure Yang.

Just now you also saw that I kept hitting it with my shoulder, and it couldn't do anything to me at all.

The first time I hit it, it bounced me several zhang away.

Later I probed slowly, and it could still bounce me away and attack me.

However, I got used to its strength and didn't break the tiles.

But when I used Pure Yang Sword Qi to protect my shoulder, hehe, it couldn't bounce me away anymore.

My Pure Yang Sword Qi offset the impact of the Dharma Realm."

Wang Laotou showed a look of shock, "So, your Pure Yang Sword Qi is about the same as the Pure Yang Immortal Qi of the Lotus Dharma Realm in terms of realm?"

Xiao Yu said honestly: "It's a big difference. Evil energy is dead, and people are alive.

Purifying evil energy can ignore means and toss it to death.

Just like a dirty towel, put it on the pebbles by the river, beat it hard with a stick, and wash away the filth on it.

But purifying a person's soul cannot use this method.

Putting a person on pebbles and beating them, they would die after a few hits, so how can one practice a Pure Yin soul, and how can one give birth to a point of Pure Yang from Pure Yin?

In fact, my method of purifying evil energy is more brutal than washing a dirty towel, and more savage than a blacksmith refining mysterious iron through beating.

Because the means are brutal and simple, it can be practiced in a short time to become Pure Yang Sword Qi.

But this method cannot be used on my own soul.

Feeling the Lotus Dharma Realm of your house is beneficial for me to further improve Pure Yang Sword Qi.

My Pure Yang Sword Qi only gives birth to a point of Pure Yang from Pure Yin.

It really is just a point.

Like a firefly appearing in a pitch-black night.

The immortal who gave you the lotus leaf Dharma Realm should be a Pure Yang True Immortal; the immortal power in the Dharma Realm is completely Pure Yang, like a great sun.

Undoubtedly, letting the firefly in the dark night become a brilliant great sun, my 'Pure Yang Sword Qi' will be more powerful."

After a pause, Xiao Yu looked at the lotus leaf in the tank with expectation again and said: "In addition, I also want to draw inferences from one instance, and study the method of Pure Yang for the soul or internal power through Pure Yang Immortal Qi."

Theoretically, the Pure Yang of the soul is a realm after becoming an immortal.

And Xiao Yu is still in the Internal Qi Realm, tens of thousands of miles away from an immortal.

But she has no opportunity for direct immortal cultivation, and is not reconciled to walking to a dead end (human immortal) along the path of Immortal Martial, so naturally, she doesn't care about the laws of any realm.

If she has inspiration, she starts doing it.

If she does it to the end of a fork in the road, she turns back and does it again.

Anyway, she is a "loose cultivator"; if she doesn't toss hard, she definitely won't be able to become an immortal.

"If the soul is Pure Yang, wouldn't that become a true immortal?" Squire Wang was shocked and very suspicious.

"It's definitely impossible to be Pure Yang at once, but as long as it is slightly purified and has a bit of Pure Yin nature, I am already very satisfied.

If I can gradually practice 'Yin Spirit' during the purification process, I will count as stepping onto the 'Loose Immortal Path.'

Not to mention the immortal path is in sight, at least I can vaguely see the high mountains in the distance.

Only when the Yin Spirit is completed will I consider the possibility of Yin reaching the extreme and Yang being born, giving birth to a point of Pure Yang," Xiao Yu said.

"What if the soul purification is wrong and there is no way back?"

Squire Wang also understood.

She has no immortal fate, no complete immortal inheritance, and is purely following her feelings, tossing blindly.

"After Killing Killing Ge Qing's soul flew away and scattered, he could still become a heavenly god. There is no such thing as a road with no way back in this world," Xiao Yu said.

Squire Wang nodded gently, "It is very rare for you to have such great courage and great perseverance.

Actually, for you, failure is not terrible.

You are naturally gifted with innate wisdom and have practiced Pure Yang Sword Qi, and now you are still trying to practice Yin Spirit.

A Pure Yang True Immortal has a true spirit that is not obscured.

Even if you practice a half-baked Yin Spirit, the probability of awakening your memory after entering reincarnation is very high.

If this life doesn't work, just be careful in the next life."

Xiao Yu's face was embarrassed; old man, if you can't speak, don't speak.

"Since you can understand, does that mean you allow me to continue studying your family's Lotus Dharma Realm?"

Squire Wang pondered and said: "I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

—Since you said so, can I not listen?

Xiao Yu said: "You speak."

"When I am about to die, I will give the Lotus Dharma Realm directly to you; you can come over and move the water tank away, or you can pull the lotus leaf out, treat it as a great medicine, stuff it into your mouth and chew it down, I estimate the effect will be very good," Squire Wang said.

Xiao Yu was surprised and said: "You want to give it to me for nothing? But when you die, there are still sons and grandsons!"

Squire Wang sighed: "My two sons are only of mediocre talent; they haven't done anything bad and don't count as bad people, but they have no virtue and cannot bear the blessing of the Lotus Dharma Realm.

I am also a mediocre person, without talent or virtue.

Being able to get the protection of the immortal, I have had peace in my house for a lifetime; I am already grateful and fearful.

If I dare to covet that my descendants will have endless enjoyment, it would be too greedy, a disaster, not a blessing."

Xiao Yu was a bit flattered.

Wang Laotou thinks her virtue can bear the blessing of the "Lotus Dharma Realm"!

"You are too humble; who in the neighborhood doesn't praise the Wang family's family education?"

"Then do you want it?" Squire Wang looked at her and asked faintly.

"No need! I am satisfied to be able to study the Pure Yang Immortal Qi in the Dharma Realm," Xiao Yu shook her head.

There was a flash of laughter in Squire Wang's eyes, and he said: "You don't have to decline. I never thought about leaving the Lotus Dharma Realm to my two sons. If I hadn't met you, I would have burned the lotus leaf before I died."

Xiao Yu was shocked: "You are old and confused; you don't treat such a treasure as a family heirloom and actually burn it?"

"If I leave it to my sons, I would be the one who is old and confused."
