Chapter 297: Taoism Crisis, the Red Dust Entanglement
Zhu Yuyan and her apprentice, Xianxian, came to the door of Room 901, opened the door with the key and went in. Zhu Yuyan was still changing her shoes in the hallway, but Xianxian had already kicked off her shoes and ran into the living room with a pair of crystal clear white and tender feet, saying with a smile:
"Sir, we are back!"
In the living room, Ni Kun was wearing only a pair of sandal pants, half lying on the sofa, his legs resting on the coffee table in front of him, snacks and drinks at his sides, and a game controller in his hand, playing Mower Warriors.
Hearing Qianqian's voice, Ni Kun stared at the game screen on the big screen in front of him and said lazily:
"Xian'er is back, don't rush to cook, come and play with me first."
"OK."
Kanan ran over with a smile on her face, sat down next to Ni Kun, first fed him a few pieces of seaweed, then gave him a sip of drink, then her slender hands gently stroked his muscular chest, all the way down, stayed on the shark line on his lower abdomen for a while, and then continued to move down.
Ni Kun's eyes still did not leave the screen, and he said lightly:
"You're being a little perfunctory, ah."
Kanan pouted sadly, put her hair behind her head and lowered her head. Only then did Ni Kun nod with satisfaction.
Zhu Yuyan changed her shoes and came in. When she saw the scene on the sofa, she looked as if she was used to it. She greeted Ni Kun very naturally and went into the kitchen carrying the vegetables.
Look at Ni Kun's current appearance, how can he look like a practitioner at all?
The division is self-indulgence and indulging in pleasure.
But the truth is not what it seems.
Ni Kun’s current situation is a bit complicated.
He had experienced life and death trials tens of thousands of times, which certainly greatly strengthened his will and enhanced his spiritual cultivation, but his mental state was also inevitably "alienated".
Since he faced the source of Heaven's Way on the moon, listened to the Jade Sound of the Great Dao, and saw flowers blooming on his head, and his Taoism advanced greatly, Ni Kun's "human desires" began to fade rapidly.
The deepest desire in his heart seemed to be only to improve his strength and increase his cultivation.
Hunting down An Wuji, beheading Yuan Miaohua with a sword, snatching the fragments of the Gate of Samsara, and even continuing to be hostile to the Blood Evil Saint, Xuan Wuyue and others, these series of actions were merely out of the need for self-preservation.
Even protecting the Tang Dynasty world has gradually become a simple "obsession", rather than a genuine desire to protect those lovely people, that prosperous world.
After obtaining the innate five elements peacock feather and comprehending the sword intent of Zhu Xian, he returned from the Tower of Babel and viewed the Central Plains from the moon. When he saw all the creatures on earth, he even had a subtle feeling of looking down on ants.
That kind of arrogant, indifferent and ruthless mentality spread in Ni Kun's heart unknowingly.
Before returning to the human world, he refined treasures and elixirs and gave them away for free, just out of "obsession". And more importantly, it was because the Tang Dynasty world was connected to his destiny. If the Tang Dynasty world suffered, his destiny would be greatly reduced, which would be disadvantageous for his subsequent practice.
If the Tang Dynasty world had nothing to do with his fate...
It's hard to say what his attitude will be.
However, the essence of this change in character is the natural and inevitable change after facing the source of heaven and listening to the sound of the great way. Ni Kun was in the game and was unaware of the change in his character and mental state.
This has nothing to do with being cold-blooded and selfish, it's just because he stands too high and is too close to the Tao. Ni Kun's cultivation level has improved too quickly, and the memories and emotions he had when he was a human are insignificant compared to the vast and boundless understanding of the Tao, not worth mentioning.
If it weren't for this journey of shedding all his cultivation and returning to a mortal body, then in the near future, Ni Kun might have completely lost all "human desires", become completely indifferent to emotions, and turned into a pure cultivation machine.
Fortunately, Ni Kun synthesized the Gate of Reincarnation in time, obtained the time and space coordinates of returning to the "Origin Universe", removed all his cultivation, and returned to the real world.
When an immortal becomes a mortal, even if the state of mind remains, the thinking will be affected by the body.
The mind that was gradually approaching the avenue and constantly moving away from the mundane world "fell" back again, allowing Ni Kun to promptly realize the changes in his mind and the alienation on the spiritual level.
Realizing this change, Ni Kun felt something was wrong.
If one really forgets all emotions and becomes a pure cultivation machine, ignoring everything except "me", then what is the difference between him and the demon from outer space?
To put it more bluntly, am I, who has completely forgotten all emotions, really still "me"?
The vast amount of insights into the root of Heaven's Dao have diluted my personal memories and emotions, and extinguished all "human desires". Apart from the Dao, I have no other desires and only want to cultivate and improve myself. Am I sure that I am not a captive of Heaven's Dao and a puppet of the root?
No matter how "I" will change in the future, perhaps after millions of years, witnessing the vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world, my mind and nature will also undergo some changes over the years, and my spirit will also be alienated to an "inhuman" state. However, this requires a long period of time to brew, and there should never be such earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time.
Ni Kun called the change in his own mind "Daohua" -
The life experience is too short, and the memories and emotions as a human being are not rich and strong enough, but they rashly face the root of the Heavenly Way and listen to the Jade Voice of the Great Dao. Although they "attain the Tao", they are also influenced by the root of the Heavenly Way and involuntarily move closer to the "Tao".
The final outcome was not that he controlled the "Tao", but that he was controlled by the "Tao" and became a slave and puppet of the Tao.
In order to delay his own transformation into Taoism, Ni Kun put all of his cultivation, which he had just recovered in the present world, into an incarnation of the five elements.
With just one thought, you can control the incarnation and let it practice on its own.
He himself retained a little bit of his physical cultivation and rolled around in the mortal world.
This alone is far from enough.
Once he takes back his incarnation and improves his cultivation, his character will be affected.
If he returns to the Tang Dynasty world and takes back the cultivation he left behind at the Gate of Reincarnation, he will be affected even more, and will continue to be "transformed into Taoism" under the influence of his powerful cultivation.
For this purpose, Ni Kun specially exchanged and practiced the Hehuan Sect's mental method - he split the Hehuan Saint Son with a sword and defeated him completely. Naturally, the list of skills was refreshed with the Hehuan Sect's evil skills that were full of the aura of worldly desires.
Other practitioners regard worldly desires as poison. When practicing in the worldly world, they need to constantly cleanse their souls and see through the worldly world in order to make their hearts clear.
Ni Kun, however, did the opposite. He lingered in the worldly world, practiced the Hehuan Sect's mental method, collected all kinds of human desires in the secular world, and refined them into dust threads, actively polluting and entangled his soul, firmly anchoring himself in this world in order to resist "Taoism".
He specially brought Zhu Yuyan and his disciple Kankan here so that they could help him practice.
The Yin Gui witch stirs up desires and plays with people's hearts. She is a good helper for Ni Kun to practice the Hehuan Sect's mental method and condense the dust thread.
now.
After finishing a game, Ni Kun put down the controller and gently stroked the delicate head of Kankan with his big hand. Waves of lustful thoughts spread out and were refined by Ni Kun with his Hehuan Heart Method, turning into a thread of lustful dust that entangled her heart.
At the same time, all kinds of human desires were rising and permeating in him - love of play, laziness, lust, and even the appetite aroused by the smell of food coming from the kitchen. These were all refined by him into dust threads, entangled with his soul.
Ordinary people have endless desires, but these desires tend not to be too accumulated.
It will dissipate with the passage of time, changes in mentality, or temporary satisfaction.
Ni Kun used the Hehuan Sect's mental method to collect all human desires, refine them into threads, and entangle the mind so that they would continue to accumulate and would not dissipate after being temporarily satisfied.
Right now, his cultivation of the Hehuan Heart Method is still limited to refining his own body and the desire emanating from those who have close contact with him.
When one's cultivation reaches a high level, one can collect countless human desires from the mundane world and refine them all into dust threads that wrap around the heart.
In this way, one will continue to accumulate traces of desire, and when one regains his cultivation in the future, he will be able to use this infinite desire to offset the "Tao transformation".
After a while, Ni Kun simply picked up Kankan and let her sit on him.
Kanan's starry eyes were blurred, and she said shyly:
"Sir, Qian'er just came back and hasn't bathed yet."
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"Then let's go take a bath together."
As he said this, he stood up, holding Kankan, who was hanging on him like a koala, and walked towards the bathroom.
Although Ni Kun had dispersed most of his cultivation into the Five Elements incarnation that was responsible for cultivation, he still retained some of his body cultivation.
It was easy to hold the light-bodied demon girl in his arms.
Soon, the sound of water and strange noises could be heard from the bathroom.
Zhu Yuyan quickly prepared the meal, placed it on the dining table, and called to the bathroom:
"Sir, the food is ready."
After a while, the bathroom door opened, and Ni Kun, also without any clothes on, walked out holding the equally natural Nannan, like a conjoined twin.
After sitting down at the dining table, Ni Kun still didn't put Kankan down and still held her in his arms. He didn't even eat by himself, but asked Zhu Yuyan to feed him.
At the same time, he continued to activate the Hehuan Heart Method, constantly refining his and Kankan's desires into strands of dust.
In this way, the meal lasted for about an hour.
After finishing the meal, Xianxian was sweating all over again, and the bath she had just taken wasted. Afterwards, she forced herself to clear the dishes despite being exhausted. Ni Kun sat on the sofa in the living room like a master, and Zhu Yuyan replaced Xianxian and sat in his arms.
After Kankan washed the dishes and bowls, she came over to help Ni Kun practice.
In this way, the entire afternoon was spent in practice.
After dinner.
Ni Kun took Zhu Yuyan and Kankan out shopping again.
The two beauties, one on his left and one on his right, held his arms and snuggled up to him, earning countless envy and jealousy along the way.
These emotions directed at Ni Kun could also be collected by him, refined into strands of dust, and allowed to entangle his own soul.
While enjoying the envy and jealousy of others, Ni Kun would inevitably develop a strong sense of superiority in his heart, which could also be refined into dust.
For Ni Kun, this mundane world is full of places for spiritual practice.
