Nine Layers of Kunlun [Cultivation of Immortals]

He opened his eyes, and a sea wave rolled towards him. The seemingly turbulent sea wave gently wrapped him up, leaving only the rising bubbles in front of him.

"What is this?" A multicolored bubble floated over. Lu Wu stretched out his hand, and the bubble burst instantly, and a white light suddenly illuminated the surrounding area.

With a flash in front of his eyes, Lu Wu opened his eyes again, and found that his feet had already stepped on the ground, and there was a desert in front of him.

The surrounding temperature was astonishingly high, his whole body seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire, and he immediately felt dry mouth, and the water in his body was rapidly losing.Lu Wu raised his head and saw ten fireballs scorching the earth in the sky.

"Ten suns!"

Lu Wu was shocked, his body was sweating like rain, his gown was soaked and dried quickly, his lip skin was cracked, the scene in front of him began to blur, and his body was crumbling.

"Look, there's a tree in front of you!" Someone yelled, Lu Wu suddenly raised his head, and saw a yellow-green crown stretching its branches and leaves on the wasteland thousands of feet away.

There was a burst of cheers from around, and people ran past him one after another, running with the last of their strength, their eyes full of madness.

"Where there is a tree, there is water! Run!"

"There is water! Finally there is water!"

Everyone ran wildly, for fear of falling behind and not being able to grab water.

Lu Wu was still in a daze as to why he came here, and the jade ring on his wrist was gone. He stared at the tree and didn't know what to do, when suddenly a big hand patted him on the back.The palms of his hands, which had been working all the year round, were thick and calloused. The blow made his back burn and hurt, and he was sweating instantly.

"Lao Liu, what are you waiting for! If you go late, you will be gone!"

Lu Wu was shocked by his beating, jumped up suddenly, struck from behind, even surpassed several people in a row and ran in front.

As it got closer, Lu Wu felt that the tree looked familiar. In the extreme water shortage, the tree survived without knowing how much suffering. The trunk is thin, the branches and leaves are yellow, and it is as barren as the dry ground.

Will there be water here?

Suddenly a hand stretched out behind him, grabbed his clothes and dragged him backwards. Lu Wu fell down unprepared. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow running over quickly, and then more people overtook him.

Lu Wu's face was ashamed, and he fell behind in an instant. He stood up and patted the dust on his body, and was about to cast a spell to rise against the wind, but found that there was no spiritual energy in his body, and the spell was useless.

For a moment, Lu Wu suddenly felt like Zhuang Zhou was dreaming of a butterfly, and the chaos stopped.At this time, the person who ran in the front had already arrived under the tree, under the intertwined and coiled roots, a drop of water dripped down for a quarter of an hour, and over the years, a pool of clear water had formed underneath!

But the roots of the tree surrounded the whole pool of water, making it visible but not drinkable.

The man happened to be carrying a knife in his bag, and he took it out and rubbed his hands to cut open the tree roots. At this time, the people behind had already caught up, looking at the water inside and licking their cracked lips.

When there were too many people, the man with the knife stopped cutting the tree. He was afraid that others would snatch the water when he was cutting the tree, so he simply put away the knife.The others also had the same thought, and no one did anything for a while, just watching the water dry up like this.

Until Lu Wu walked slowly, there was still no progress.

The old man who reminded Lu Wu easily saw through everyone's thoughts, took the knife in the man's hand, and chopped it on a tree root.

"My old man is not afraid of anything, sixth child, leave me some water to drink."

It took Lu Wu a while to realize that he was talking to him, and he quickly agreed.

Everyone else gathered around at the same time. Before the roots were completely cut off, a hand quickly reached in and took out a little water with difficulty.The sparkling water light instantly lit up everyone's eyes, that person was immediately pushed away, and another person's hand stretched in.

The roots of the tree intertwined into a net to protect the water. The root the old man cut open was only big enough for one hand to get in, but they couldn't care less, and rushed to grab water to drink.

Lu Wu also squeezed in, barely holding water in his hands and handing it to the old man.

A group of people drank enough water, and there was not much water left in the pool, only a layer of water on the ground could not be taken out.One person took out a knife from his bag and swung the knife to cut off the entire tree root to get water.

"I can't cut it, I can't cut it." The old man regained his energy after drinking the water, and quickly grabbed the man: "This tree can't grow well by itself, and it still gives water for people to drink. We have drunk the water now, and then cut the tree." It's a sin."

The man pushed the old man away at once, walked to the side of the tree and looked down at the water under the root of the tree. He tilted his mouth and said, "If you don't cut down the tree, how will you get the water out of it? You old man, you are so stubborn!"

"Can't chop! Can't!"

The old man was lying on the ground and couldn't stand up. The others watched with cold eyes, and Lu Wu stepped forward to stand in front of the man.

"Can't chop!"

"You can't if you say you can't? You deserve to die of thirst!"

"This tree can generate water. If you cut it down, where will you find water in the future? We walked for so many days before we came across this tree. No one knows how long we will have to go until we get to the next water source."

The man stopped cutting the tree, put away the knife, and sat down beside the tree root. At this time, water is undoubtedly the most precious.Since he can't get it, he will guard it.

Others also sat down around the tree, not pleasing to each other, but no one wanted to leave here.

Lu Wu walked over and helped the old man up and sat down. Now he has confirmed that he is in an illusion at this time, and the reason must be related to this tree.

After guarding this pool of water for two days, he plucked the leaves to satisfy his hunger, and drank a little water when he was thirsty, but since the water was guarded by the man with the knife, it became extremely difficult to ask for water to drink.

"Get out of the way, I want to drink water!" A man with a leaf in his mouth shouted in a rough voice. The man holding a knife and closing his eyes to rest his mind opened his eyes, and his whole body blocked the water tightly.

"There is no water."

"Nonsense! No one drank water today except you, how could there be no water!"

"I said that if there is no water, then there is no water!" The man stared wide-eyed. In order to guard the pool of water, he has not slept for two days. Take two shots.

The other man bit the leaves in his mouth fiercely, as if he was eating the flesh of the other party, and sat back angrily, the resentment in his eyes grew wildly.

The next day, the man with the knife died.

The person guarding the water was changed. The man who had the dispute yesterday was sitting under the tree holding a knife, and his movements were exactly the same as the previous one.

A few days later, the man also died.

The people guarding the water source under the tree were constantly changing, and the team of more than ten people was reduced to seven people. Now sitting under the tree root is the last young and middle-aged person except Lu Wu. The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. threaten.

However, the next day, this man also died, and this time the water keeper was replaced by a woman with a big belly. She was holding a knife, and her seven-month-old stomach was as small as a burden due to lack of nutrition.

She stared and watched for five days, the longest time in history. She seemed to have learned the experience and lessons of the previous few, and began to open up the water source in principle. The reduction in the number of people gradually made the water source sufficient. Some people began to discuss whether to bring Water comes out of this barren land.

This proposal was opposed by the pregnant woman, whose body could no longer afford the hardships of the hike.

In the early hours of the next day, the pregnant woman died.

The rest of the people took out their tools and began to divide the water source. Lu Wu walked to the corpse. He buried all the corpses by himself. From the shock at the beginning to the calm, he still couldn't help the anger in his heart.

He held up the still warm body of the pregnant woman, but he clearly felt the fetal movement coming from his stomach.

Child, still alive!

The fetal movement became more and more violent, Lu Wu hurriedly put her down, it was about to give birth!

The baby is about to be born!

Lu Wu was stunned for a second, then looked back at the crowd around the tree. "She's going to give birth! She's going to give birth!"

The person grabbing the water stopped for a moment, and someone sneered and said, "She is already dead, what happened to her, sixth child, are you crazy?"

And the old man came over, touched her stomach, and felt her pulse, but his brows were tightly frowned. "No, she is really going to give birth!"

At first, some people came over suspiciously. "No way, old man, don't be biased." Seeing the obvious fetal movement, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground on the spot.

How can a dead person have children.

Everyone gathered around, and the old man pressed the pregnant woman's belly. "Bring the knife!"

"Okay!" The knife was thrown over, the old man twisted his mouth, his sunken eyes sparkled, he carefully cut open the pregnant woman's stomach, and took out a crimson, wrinkled baby from inside.

The cry of the child was instantly remembered, and everyone's faces were full of joy. Since no one was guarding the stagnant pool of water, the sound of dripping water was covered up.

At some point, a bird appeared on the branch, and the clear bird song and the baby's cry sounded at the same time.

One person after another hugged this baby who had experienced thousands of twists and turns before coming to this world, and took off the softest clothes on his body to hug him.

"It's a boy."

"Give him a name."

The bird on the tree fluttered its wings and flew high, and a piece of feather fluttered to the ground.

"Just call him Yi."

Yi, Hou Yi.

Lu Wu raised his head, ten scorching suns scorched the earth at the same time, and the killings in the past half month seemed to be washed away by the arrival of this child.

"Sixth, do you want to hug?" The old man walked over holding the baby.

Lu Wu took the child, raised his head and said, "When he grows up, he will become a hero. Even the sun in the sky cannot escape his arrows. At that time, ten suns will become one, and the earth will restore the oasis."

As soon as the words fell, there was another white light in front of my eyes, and Lu Wu came into a hazy chaos.

"Tell me, what did you see?" It was the voice of the ancient tree in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Greed, killing and rebirth."

"Which of them is the sinner?"

Lu Wu was silent, Gu Shu asked again: "Which one of them deserves to die?"

Lu Wu was silent again, and the ancient tree sighed: "The catastrophe is approaching, and the sea of ​​suffering is deep, and we live in the world. What is right and what is wrong, good and evil are right and wrong, and it doesn't matter what happens."

The compassionate voice of the ancient tree echoed all around, and Lu Wu suddenly remembered the way of the poor wandering soul.

"The movement of all phenomena in the universe contains thousands of laws. From birth to death, from death to life. Life turns around and the cycle is endless. The balance of yin and yang, the balance of movement and stillness, is the golden mean!"

Lu Wu was shocked, and a door slowly opened.The way of the mean, that is, it is not easy to be impartial, and it will flow around in the world, and it will be integrated.

The doctrine of the mean refers to the life and death of yin and yang, and upholding the "neutral" nature means that man and nature must be one and follow the trend.

People's hearts are not balanced, and yin and yang are not balanced, which is a disaster caused by man and nature.Dynamic and static balance, yin and yang are in harmony, which is the balance of the mean.

If it is broken, it will be catastrophe; if it is balanced, the world will be unified.

If you want to be independent from the world, don't you mean jumping out of Yin and Yang, not between movement and stillness?

Those who are moderate are the combination of yin and yang.

There was a loud bang in Lu Wu's mind, and the waves rolled and hit several feet high spray, constantly scouring his thoughts, and the doctrine of the mean became more and more clear.
