The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

There are only two words that can describe Lin Yun’s current feeling - uncomfortable.

In the past, when people meditated and practiced qigong, they would generally choose a place with abundant spiritual energy, so that they could at least absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and then use the true qi to circulate around the body to nourish the soul and meridians.

But here, there is nothingness all around, and once you close your eyes, there is nothing.

If you don't let your true Qi circulate, you won't even be able to feel your own existence. This feeling of nothingness is extremely terrifying, even more terrifying than death.

Lin Yun had to release the true qi from his dantian appropriately to prove his existence.

But when the true energy was released, the huge vacuum formed by this empty world was like a powerful vacuum cleaner, sucking his true energy into the void, leaving nothing behind.

So he quickly returned to Yuan Shouyi, guarding Dantian tightly to prevent the leakage of the true energy. But in this way, nothingness surrounded him again.

He could not determine his own existence.

Sometimes he doubted whether he had always been here, or was just a dot of ink in the painting, and everything in the past was an illusion.

When the fear of nothingness became stronger and stronger and became unbearable, he unconsciously released his true energy and tried to circulate it through his body.

Thus, the true energy gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again in the Dantian.

Lin Yun felt weaker and weaker, and his chest felt a little stuffy. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his eyes, expanded his chest, and tried to take a deep breath.

But where is the air here? There is only nothingness.

The earth before us and the distant green mountains are just scenes in a painting; they do not exist.

"what--"

Lin Yun screamed, his chest heaving as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

This loud shout made him feel much more comfortable, but the true energy in his body could no longer be hidden and gushed out from all his seven orifices.

"Be careful!" Senior Brother Liu Chongjun stretched out a hand and patted Lin Yun gently on the back.

A steady stream of truth flowed into his body.

Lin Yun felt a warmth on his back, which made him feel very comfortable and made him feel the real existence of the world. Even if everything here was false, at least the palm of the senior brother was real, and it was now on his back, so real.

Just when Lin Yun felt a little more comfortable, Yan Jin also screamed, and his true energy could not be held back and sprayed out of his mouth.

Liu Chongjun stretched out his other hand and placed it on Yan Jing's back in the same way.

"Big Brother!" Yan Jin seemed calmer than Lin Yun. "Don't worry about me. True Qi is precious. If you give it to me like this, I still can't keep it."

Lin Yun also immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. They were now leaking, like a sieve full of holes. No matter how much true energy was sent in, it would leak out. No matter how powerful the eldest brother was, how long could he hold on?

"Big Brother, please don't worry about us!" Lin Yun also said, "You have a deep cultivation base, there is no need to sacrifice yourself for the two of us. At this rate, none of us can get out. Big Brother, you must get out alive. Once you get out, just help me kill that old thief Gao Qi and Jiang Zifeng."

Yan Jin said: "Yes, Big Brother, please let us go!"

"You two shut up!" Liu Chongjun said seriously, "The more you talk, the more you'll leak. If you don't want me to die, just shut up! You've all stepped into the Xiantian realm. Although it's a bit tricky, since you've entered the Xiantian realm, it's not difficult to hold on to your Yuan and guard your own Qi. As long as you can overcome this fear in the void."

"But I can't overcome it!" Lin Yun said, "There is no sky and earth, no sun and moon, no air. Once I close my eyes, nothing exists around me. I have to hold on to the original and keep the oneness, cut off all perception, and even the body doesn't exist. What's the difference between that and death? No, it's more terrible than death! When I die, there is nothing. But in this state, my consciousness is still there, but the world is gone. So where am I?"

"We are in the painting." Yan Jing's voice was trembling as he kept repeating the words that made him feel uneasy and terrified. "We are in the painting! We are in the painting!..."

"Yes, we are in the painting." Liu Chongjun said, "But before we came in, weren't we also in the painting? Why didn't you feel scared at that time?"

"Ah?" Lin Yun and Yan Jin were both stunned, not understanding what the senior brother meant.

"Before we came in, that was the real world. How could it be in a painting?" Lin Yun said.

"How do you judge the truth?" Liu Chongjun asked.

"Real?" Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "I was born and grew up, from a child to an adult. I have parents, a sister, and a brother-in-law. I practiced martial arts and Yu Bu with my brother-in-law. I fought with my brother-in-law. I shot dragons in the East China Sea. Later, I was brought to Tiandu by the old immortal master and practiced with the eldest brother. Aren't these real?"

Liu Chongjun shook his head: "Have you heard the story of the Yellow Millet Dream? How do you know that it was not a dream you had?"

"Dream? Damn! How could this be a dream?" Lin Yun suddenly felt a chill, "If this is a dream, then who are you? How did we know each other?"

Liu Chongjun smiled and said, "We may not know each other. If the reality you are talking about does not exist, then I may not exist either. Everything at this moment may also be an illusion."

Lin Yun found it increasingly difficult to understand: "Big Brother, what on earth are you talking about?"

Yan Jin looked up at the empty sky with a look of realization and said, "Big Brother, are you saying that the emptiness we just experienced is the real thing?"

Lin Yun said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If it's all called nothingness, how can it be real?"

Yan Jin said: "Perhaps the origin of the world is nothingness?"

"The origin is nothingness?" Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, but it was not very clear. "Then...what is the world we are experiencing? What is the legend of the saint creating the world? Did the saint draw a picture? Did Nuwa create humans by drawing a few little people on the picture?"

The eldest brother nodded and said, "It's almost like what you said."

"Ah?" Lin Yun and Yan Jin were shocked at the same time. Although they said it themselves, they were frightened by the eldest brother's confirmation.

"Think about it, why did the saint create the world? What was the world like before the saint created the world?" asked the eldest brother.

"Before the creation of the world..."

Lin Yun began to choose his words carefully, because he knew that the eldest senior brother was not asking casually, but was taking advantage of the current predicament to preach to them!

Although this predicament seemed impossible to escape, if it were not for the eldest senior brother, he and Yan Jin would have probably lost their true energy and their bodies and souls would have dispersed.

But there is a saying that goes, "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening." For practitioners, hearing the truth and understanding the truth are the most important things. In the face of the truth, life and death are no longer that important.

"Before the creation of the world, it should have been a chaotic world where yin and yang were not distinguished and the five elements were hidden, right?"

"That's right, it's the chaotic world. But think about it carefully, yin and yang are not distinguished, and the five elements are hidden. You cannot perceive such a world. Since you cannot perceive it, isn't it nothingness?" said the eldest brother.

"I understand!" Lin Yun suddenly said, "Big Brother is saying that the painting we are in now is actually a chaotic world that has not yet been opened up. It is just waiting for Pangu's axe to turn it into a new world!"
