Who knows that his sword is too gentle

Tao Shu found that Bai Jue had been restless during his studies these few days, as if he was hiding something, and when he asked him, he lied that he was fine.

In terms of practice, this apprentice of his never plays a blind eye, and he has made rapid progress during this period, faster than he expected, but his mind is getting heavier every day.

He reminded Bai Jue twice that if he felt psychological pressure, he could go to Xicao Xiangxian to have a look, but Bai Jue hesitated to respond, and he was still in the same state when he practiced the next day.

As his only direct disciple, Bai Jue should take good care of him, so after finishing his work that day, he went to visit Bai Jue in the Hanyu Cave in the curtain of the waterfall cave.

The Cold Jade Grotto is a place specially opened by him for cultivation. Everything in it is made of the ice edges of the Jichuan Mirror. Ordinary people will be frozen into ice within a moment when they walk in. If a monk does not raise his interest rate all the time , will not be able to withstand low temperatures, so it is very suitable for cultivation.

None of the senior Xinmen disciples had been there yet. It had been lent to disciples of other sects for many years, and now it was given to Bai Jue. In order to let him improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, Tao Shu ordered him to move directly to live in the cave. Next, even when you sleep, you have to sleep on the cold jade bed inside.

At first, Bai Jue couldn't bear it, so he sneaked out several times, but Tao Shu found out that he had set up a barrier directly at the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Tao Shu walked through the waterfall and approached the entrance of the cave. He thought he would see Bai Jue practicing cross-legged cultivation, but he never expected that there were two people sitting on the cold jade bed who were closely related to each other.

Bai Jue's breath was disordered, his eyelashes were covered with frost.To resist the coldness of the Hanyu Cave, you need to adjust your breathing rate to a specific rhythm. Once you lose your breath, it is easy to be attacked by the coldness as it is now if you don't adjust it back.

The black-robed sword spirit hugged him to keep him warm, but he didn't feel much about this cold cave, which showed that his cultivation was not shallow.

This is cheating, Tao Shu asked Baijue to practice in the cold jade cave, in order for him to find a way to resist the cold, but the way he thought of was to go to Pei Tingyao's arms?

Looking at Pei Tingyao again, he didn't feel that his behavior was bad for Bai Jue at all, he even touched Bai Jue's face ambiguously, and leaned over to kiss him.

Bai Jue turned his head to hide for a while, because his movements were a little stiff and slow from the cold, Pei Tingyao would not let him go, forget it, Pei Tingyao, you'd better stop and let this chapter pass, it's a headache.

"Okay, Pei Tingyao, will you still let me practice? If I do this again, I'll leave." Bai Jue's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know if it was from the cold or something.

"The cave is so big, where are you going?" Pei Tingyao laughed softly, "Didn't you say that when I get my real body, we will..."

"Who told you that!"

"What did you agree on?" Tao Shu finally couldn't help taking a step forward, reminding them of his existence.He didn't seem like a person who would get angry, but he slapped his palm at this moment, and the palm wind fell on the cold jade bed, cutting off a layer of ice chips from the corner of the bed.

"I really didn't expect that setting up an enchantment for the teacher outside the Hanyu Cave would have fulfilled the good deeds of the two of you?"

Bai Jue was terrified by his master's palm. He kicked Pei Tingyao, got off the bed with his clothes together, and knelt down in front of Tao Shu: "Master, it's nothing... I was just a little tired after practicing." , just take a break."

Bai Jue thought that Tao Shu was angry because he didn't concentrate on cultivation, but he didn't expect Tao Shu to look at Pei Tingyao with Chuanzi eyebrows: "You know what you are doing? You are a spirit, he is a human being, you shouldn't be like this. "

This situation is really a bit like catching an adulterer in bed. Compared with explaining that he and Pei Tingyao are not the same, Bai Xin has a greater sense of disobedience. Tao Shu is not like an unenlightened master, on the contrary , he is more enlightened than any master in the Chanxi Sect, otherwise he would not accept the vain decision of mixed cultivation.

Take a step back and tell what he and Pei Tingyao were really doing just now... He didn't expect Tao Shu to object.

He is not a ruthless way of cultivating the mind, and even Chanxi City, which has the strictest discipline, didn't say that he would not be allowed to love freely?Besides, it has been an old dogma for thousands of years that spirits and humans cannot fall in love. How can there be such a concept in the current cultivation world?

This strange thought prevailed, and Bai Jue couldn't help asking: "Master, why? Sword spirits are already the most suitable for humans among the spirits, and they were also humans before they sacrificed their swords."

"He is not a sword spirit." Unexpectedly, Tao Shu said such a sentence.

Bai Jue and even Pei Tingyao showed surprised expressions.Bai Jue was because he couldn't think of what Pei Tingyao could be if he wasn't a sword spirit, and Pei Tingyao was surprised at what Tao Shu knew, even he himself didn't know what he was.

Bai Jue stared blankly at Pei Tingyao: "What do you mean, Master?"

Tao Shu rubbed the center of his brows, shook his head and sighed: "Get up first." He gave Bai Jue a body warming technique, and Bai Jue really felt much better.

Tao Shudao: "Recently, I checked the classics and wrote a letter to ask a few friends who have profound knowledge in the study of spirits. We all agreed that considering the most extreme situation, Pei Tingyao is not a sword spirit."

Pei Tingyao's eyes moved: "Then what am I?"

"Very likely, it's spiritual consciousness." Tao Shu said, "You are the spiritual consciousness condensed by one of the three souls and seven souls of a certain monk. By chance, it was sealed in the sword. When you were stripped of the main body, this The sword must be by your side."

"What?!" Bai Jue was stunned, "Can a monk's soul be separated into spiritual consciousness? Why should it be separated?"

Tao Shu explained: "Some unpopular Taoism methods have this way of separating spiritual consciousness to refine and obtain Taoism. This possibility is relatively high, because the refining of spiritual consciousness is usually very purposeful, the subject will not let the spiritual consciousness ignore it, and Pei Tingyao obviously does not know the existence of the subject, I guess, the subject does not know him either Where."

"Spiritual consciousness..." Pei Tingyao murmured in a low voice, his drooping pupils were as bottomless as an obsidian.

"Is there any harm to the spiritual consciousness if you leave the main body?" Bai Jue asked anxiously.

"There must be dangers, but this kind of situation is too rare. I don't know yet. I need to write to my friends to discuss it." Tao Shu saw that Pei Tingyao himself didn't express much, but Bai Jue was very worried for him, so he comforted him. He, "I have a friend from Yadao who has lived for a relatively long time. Maybe he has seen it before. I will write to ask him for advice."

Bai Jue nodded and thanked Pei Tingyao: "Please trouble Master."

He had many questions in his mind, occupying his mind in a mess, and he didn't know which one to ask first.It doesn't matter who Pei Tingyao is, the important thing is, if he is just a ray of spiritual consciousness of a monk, does it mean that he will leave Wu Qingkuang and return to the main body?The subject and the spiritual consciousness have the same root and origin, but since neither of them knows the existence of the other, are they still the same person?

If Pei Tingyao merged back into the main body, would he still remember everything that happened, what he did, and the people he met?

Pei Tingyao has been silent for a long time, and now he finally speaks: "So, I have captured the body of the real body by phantom. What if I want to have it completely?"

Tao Shuding looked at Pei Tingyao, and he saw indifference and firmness in his eyes, as if he was the subject.Theoretically, spiritual consciousness is not a complete person, and returning to the body is the ultimate destination, but instead of asking how to return to the body, Pei Tingyao is thinking about how to fight for control of the body.

He is now in a physical state, if he meets Tao Shu for the first time in this state, even Tao Shu will not be able to see that he is different from other monks, let alone imagine that he is only a spiritual consciousness.

This kind of spiritual knowledge may cause the subject a headache.

From an ethical point of view, it is impossible for Tao Shu to help Pei Tingyao snatch the subject's body. He wants to help him find out who the subject is, so that the spiritual consciousness can return to its place as soon as possible, so as to avoid the suffering of both sides.

This is also the reason why he objected to Bai Jue and Pei Tingyao getting too close, this matter hovered in the gray area of ​​the law of the cultivation world - is it against his will to have a good time with spiritual knowledge?

No matter how strong the self-awareness of the spiritual consciousness is, it cannot ignore the existence of the noumenon. If the noumenon is very unwilling, their actions will naturally be condemned morally.

Tao Shu didn't answer Pei Tingyao's question, and Bai Jue understood what his master meant, so he remained silent for a while.

Tao Shu didn't say any more, removed the barrier of Hanyu Cave, and said to Bai Jue: "You go to the Moon Lake in the back mountain to recuperate first, the water in the pool has the effect of concentrating your mind, come back again Continue to practice, don't be lazy anymore."

Bai Jue lowered his head: "Yes, Master."

After Tao Shu left, Bai Jue sighed at Pei Tingyao: "I didn't expect it to be like this. Do you want to think about whether there was a monk named Pei among Wu Qingkuang's past masters? Didn't the master say that?" The sword must be in front of you when you separate your spiritual consciousness, maybe it is one of the masters of the sword."

Pei Tingyao turned his head sideways and turned his palms and backs, looked carefully for a while, and smiled contemptuously: "Why do you miss him? I am who I am, so it's none of your business."

But Bai Jue was obviously worried: "...we should not cross the line too much."

*

Guanyue Lake in Houshan was originally the quietest among the twelve lakes in Xinmen.But it is not peaceful at the moment.

Bai Jue took off his coat and soaked in the pool water, thinking that he could calm down.He also intentionally left Wu Qingkuang in Hanyu Cave and came here alone.

But he forgot that Pei Tingyao was no longer in the state of a spirit body. When he had a body, he could take it away in vain, so he came here with Bai Jue.

Pei Tingyao ignored Bai Jue's words, entered the pool and hugged the little monk who wanted to practice from behind.

Bai Jue is like a Buddha who has been a monk for several years and has realized the principles of purification. No matter what monsters are climbing up behind him, he closes his eyes and remains unmoved. Pei Tingyao is like the one sent by heaven to tease his mind and test his ability to seek the Tao. Don't feel sorry for the words after "Whether the heart is firm or not" was eaten by the author.

Pei Tingyao was amused all of a sudden: "Sleeping can really increase your cultivation."

Bai Jue's face turned red, what they said was not the same thing at all!It is true that they can increase their cultivation... But he only wants to practice alone, okay!

But Pei Tingyao is now using actions to force him to admit: No, you don't want to.

Bai Jue, you really don't want the voice-over to say it earnestly while wearing a little red lock.

An empty pool and a pool of broken moon.

Pei Tingyao... Uh, he was dying of illness and sat up in shock. He couldn't finish writing anything, and then cut Xiao Pei's scene again.But Bai Jue came to his senses belatedly: the collection of magical artifacts has not yet been made, so why help!What's going on this time!

He hasn't questioned yet,...why can't he write the question?

Bai Jue just left the master's advice behind him just now, and now he regained consciousness and reminded him: "I think we should wait for Master's friend from Yadao to reply to confirm what is going on with your current state. Well...it's hard for me to be free from scruples."

Pei Tingyao pinched his face: "Your master knows that I am fighting for my body, so writing a letter must be a good way to discuss dealing with me. It would be better if that person didn't reply."

Bai Jue said: "Don't think so, I definitely won't agree with Master to deal with you, Master cares about me, and he won't do that either. He must just want to find a way to get you out of your madness."

"You have a good idea, why did he help me?"

"He is my master," Bai Jue said.

"Naive." Pei Tingyao said this to Bai Jue, but he tugged at the other person's hair childishly. After Bai Jue cried out in pain, he rubbed his scalp again, lowered his head and kissed the lock of hair, "We Don't tell your master about it."

Bai never objected to this.

Pei Tingyao went ashore with Bai Jue in his arms, and Bai Jue buried his face in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "But senior brother Gu has seen the jade slips, will he find out your secret, I will make a puppet to hold you If he finds out about his spirit body, he will definitely expose it. It’s okay to say that you are a sword spirit, but you are a spiritual consciousness. At that time, Master will definitely stop..."

"Do you still miss others at this time?" Pei Tingyao was inexplicably unhappy when Gu Rulan was mentioned, and he said, "When you go down the mountain tomorrow, stay away from him, he won't be able to find out."

"Hmm..." Bai Jue really didn't have time to think about anything else, he wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand shaking, he couldn't tell whether the dripping water was from the pool or he was already crying.

I have to get up early and go down the mountain tomorrow... He thought aggrievedly, and then the small water droplets fell even more fiercely.
