Chapter 157 The Red Dust Immortal, Hezhou Dragon!
When Zhou Ping'an and the others were almost at the hotel, they discovered that Chen Jue was the only one missing from the group.
Because Chen Jue had already appeared at the place where the three rivers met just now, and did not catch up with the main force.
At this moment, Chen Jue was like Chunyang Lu Zu who realized the Quanzhen Tao in the Eight Immortals Pillar. He also realized his own Tao.
At this moment, thoughts become clear, ideas become a melting pot, and the mental will seems to become as restrained as the body and begins to become clear and round.
This is because Chen Jue's body and will simultaneously formed a golden elixir and he attained enlightenment, just like the sudden enlightenment of the ancient saints and wise men.
At the moment when Chen Jueming realized his true nature and saw the truth, a new status bonus [Red Dust Immortal] popped up on the attribute panel.
[Red Dust Immortal]: Wander in the red dust, be free and easy in the world, savor all kinds of life, and be the only immortal among the mortals.
Status description: With the bonus of this status, willpower, concentration, sensory ability, and comprehension are greatly improved.
With the emergence of this new state, Chen Jue felt that the sparks of his thoughts were rapidly splashing, and countless memories and knowledge began to quickly pass through his brain. The doubts he had previously had about life and cultivation began to be resolved, and the intelligence that originally showed 1.61 (1.11) also distorted and changed at this moment.
The value 1.11 in the brackets began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye until it completely disappeared. Like the other three attributes, it was fixed at the peak value and the same as the current value.
Looking at the waters of the three rivers merging and swirling, Chen Jue felt as if his consciousness was trapped in something strange. When he came to his senses, it was already dark all around him, and the Wenfeng Ancient Street beside him began to light up with bright and dazzling lights.
"To see one's true nature and to have complete enlightenment! This is what it feels like to get the 'truth'." Chen Jue felt that when he looked at this world again, he saw things more clearly than ever before.
There is no longer the hazy, chaotic and elusive feeling from before, and there are no more doubts in my heart about the practice of cultivation and the pursuit of the truth.
It’s just like when we ordinary people see an environment after rain, the dust in the air is carried away by the rain, visibility is improved, and there is a different kind of clarity.
I picked up my phone and saw several missed calls. I called back and found that there was a lot of noise on the other end of the line. I guess my roommates were playing cards and asking where Chen Jue had gone.
Chen Jue apologized into the phone. It happened that his attributes increased dramatically after enlightenment, and his stomach was empty, so he returned to the hotel and had a wedding banquet with everyone. Chen Jue also joined the evening celebration.
Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy. Although Chen Jue has become an immortal who has attained enlightenment, he still retains human emotions. He is not like the Buddha or immortal who has entered the monastery and is neither sad nor happy.
Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, have fun when you should have fun, and let the seven emotions and six desires accompany the world. This is the "truth" that Chen Jue has realized.
…
After having fun with the roommates all night, everyone went back to their hotel rooms to sleep. Chen Jue also went back to his room to practice the Sleeping Dragon Pill Technique.
That night, Chen Jue felt that he slept extremely peacefully, soundly and sweetly. Even the Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique was upgraded to Lv2 overnight, greatly improving its efficiency.
I woke up the next day, but it was only 6 o'clock in the morning. My roommates had stayed up too late the night before and were probably all asleep.
Chen Jue washed up, left the hotel, and found a roadside noodle shop to have another bowl of noodles. However, this time he did not order mutton offal, but changed the taste and ordered mutton instead.
Since we want to taste all kinds of life, the taste of our food must naturally change from time to time.
After filling his stomach with noodles, Chen Jue walked slowly to the bank of the Fu River. When he was playing with Zhou Anping and the others last night, he had heard this kid mention that the three rivers in Hezhou often flooded, and there was a legend that someone had seen a dragon swimming in the river.
After strolling along the Binjiang Park along the Fu River, Chen Jue discovered that this small city full of fireworks really has the image of "dragon" carved everywhere. There is a large dinosaur sculpture at the entrance above the park, and the guardrails of the riverside embankment are full of different statues of the nine sons of the dragon.
The embankment has a very high drop and is as far as the eye can see. It is about seven or eight meters away from the park above.
"Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Bi'an, Fuxi, Chiwen. Fortunately, I have read all the Taoist classics, otherwise I would not be able to recognize them all." Chen Jue walked along the embankment, touching the statues on the guardrails. There was also a real dragon totem with bared fangs and claws in the middle of each guardrail.
The totem was painted gold paint, but the color gradually faded under the erosion of wind, rain and time.
When they were walking from the Second Fujiang Bridge to the Third Bridge, Chen Jue's ears suddenly moved and he heard a whistling sound of strong wind in the park above. It was the sound of someone practicing martial arts.
But when I listened again, there was another roar of a dragon in the spine like muffled thunder, which gradually became weaker, and there was also the sound of blood rushing.
If it were normal times, Chen Jue would definitely have difficulty hearing it, but since he awakened to the state of [Red Dust Immortal] yesterday, his sensing ability has greatly improved. Even though there is a huge difference in height between the two, and there is the noise of the rushing river and the cars on the road above, Chen Jue can still capture it clearly.
"She's a master!" Chen made up his mind and quickly climbed up the steps of the embankment. He saw a woman with a ponytail, wearing a lake blue sportswear, and with heroic features, about 25 or 26 years old, in the deserted park forest in the early morning. She was doing the three-body posture in the forest, practicing Xingyi boxing that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and like a snake but not a snake.
Seeing Chen Jue suddenly appear from the embankment below without any warning, the woman was also shocked. She stopped and stood, staring at Chen Jue silently, as if she was guarding against something.
"Beautiful..." Chen Jue was about to say hello when the heroic woman turned around and ran away quickly. Her figure rose and fell like a dragon soaring through the mist. After a few flashes, she jumped onto a bus that had just arrived at the station on the side of the road and quickly drove away on the bus.
Chen Jue did not chase after her, but stared at the heroic woman who was also staring at him through the car window. The other person looked at him with a bit of vigilance and suspicion, which made Chen Jue a little confused.
"How strange!"
Chen Jue watched the woman drive away in the car, recalling the few boxing and body movements he had just seen. Although he witnessed it for a very short time, with Chen Jue's concentration and sensing ability blessed by [Red Dust Immortal], he was sure that the other party was practicing Xingyi Dragon Form.
Moreover, this woman has a lot of energy and vitality, which shows that she has practiced martial arts to an extremely high level. Even if she has not yet formed a golden core, she is definitely a master of Xingyi.
Just as Chen Jue was feeling bored and took an hour to walk back to the hotel, feeling that he had missed an opportunity to communicate with a like-minded person, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle with an out-of-town license plate passed by Chen Jue on the side of the road.
The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was driving very fast, at least 80 or 90 miles per hour, but Chen Jue's sharp vision, which had been awakened by his Night Walking Technique, was still able to see through the black anti-peeping window the flat-headed bodyguard in the driver's seat who had left a very deep impression on him.
"Um?"
"It's him!"
At this moment, Chen Jue's eyes focused, sparks of thought jumped in his mind, and he hurriedly stopped a passing white and green taxi.
"Master, can we catch up with the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in front?" Chen Jue opened the car door, jumped into the back seat, and pointed at the dark tail road in front that was about to disappear around the corner.
"What did you say?"
"Hey, brother! Why are you watching a police and gangster movie with me so early in the morning? I can't do this kind of thing." The taxi driver was stunned and quickly shook his head to refuse.
"Brother, please be kind. That bastard driving a Mercedes owes me more than one million! My family can hardly make ends meet, and my old man needs medical treatment. This bastard even blocked me and refused to answer my calls! Please be kind, I'll pay you two hundred!" Chen Jue used his mobile phone to scan the code and paid directly.
"You bastard! You owe over a million dollars and you still drive a Mercedes?"
"Hold on tight, bro. I'm paying you @￥％!" The taxi driver got excited when he heard the money had arrived. He changed gears like the wind and stepped on the accelerator to catch up with the car.
Just after passing that turn, Chen Jue and the driver were dumbfounded. In front of them were three undulating intersections, and there was not a single car on the road.
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you..." The driver stopped the car on the side of the road.
Chen's mind suddenly moved, and the image of Lin Tianchen with a feminine temperament like a venomous snake flashed through his mind. He also remembered the woman he had seen before who had practiced the dragon-wrapped snake form in Xingyi boxing. With sparks of thought flashing, he asked the driver, "Master, where does bus No. XX go?"
"Route XX! That goes to Dashi Township." The taxi driver replied.
"Then please take me to the terminal of XX Road! I know where that bastard is hiding!"
"Okay!"
When the taxi driver heard that he had a destination, he thought it was better than chasing cars aimlessly, so he drove like the god of driving in Akina Mountain for more than half an hour and sent Chen Jue to the bus terminal in Dashi Township.
At the bus terminal, Chen Jue saw the bus that the heroic woman was riding, so he got on the bus and asked the bus driver who was taking a break about it.
When the bus driver heard that Chen Jue had an accent from another place, he shook his head defensively and said he didn't know.
Chen Jue got off the bus reluctantly. Just when he thought the clue ended here, he suddenly found that at the rear of the bus, the heroic woman whom he had glanced at briefly appeared out of nowhere with a wary look in her eyes.
She stared at Chen Jue for a long time before she relaxed her brows and said, "Daoyou, this is not the place to talk. Come with me!"
After saying that, the woman quickly turned into a small path leading into the mountains. Chen Jue was curious, but did not ask much. In the end, he followed her and walked quickly for more than ten kilometers along the mountain road and came to a deep mountain forest with roaring waterfalls.
It is surrounded by tall rocks, and the rock walls are covered with old trees that block the sunlight. The water that washes down from the top of the rocks falls into the pool, rolling up a piece of yellow mud, with a clear distinction between clear and turbid water, like a huge Tai Chi vortex.
When Chen Jue first saw such a magical pool of water, he was also amazed. However, before he could ask any questions, the heroic woman took the lead in introducing it: "This place is called Longtan Bay. It is said that a long time ago, a dragon swam into the river from here."
"Fellow Daoist, you have followed me all the way, and I don't see any ill will in you. I guess you are not someone sent by the Tianchen Group, right?"
