Chapter 1382 Flowers Bloom
In the intoxicated gentle land, you suddenly woke up, thinking of the old man's original teachings, and realized that this feeling was like the lust that the old man had always advised you to be vigilant about.
Before you came into contact with lust, in your consciousness, lust was a flood and a beast, a claw that dragged people into the abyss, and once you touched it, you had to cut it off immediately. But now you are indulging in this gentle land, and you suddenly find that lust is so beautiful and so ethereal. The old man's exhortations and warnings were instantly thrown out of your mind.
In the blur, you seemed to catch a glimpse of a cluster of red silk flowers blooming slowly by the pool. This kind of flower startled you, but as soon as you woke up, the red flower disappeared immediately, as if it was an illusion in your eyes.
Red spider lily.
The old man warned you from childhood that you need to be extremely vigilant about this flower.
When this flower blooms, it means that desire is corroding your heart and that you are falling into an endless abyss.
But you didn't see it again after careful search, and soon you didn't care so much and continued to indulge in the gentle land.
You don't know her name, and she never said a word to you. She always smiled at you every day, like your partner and your sister, always accompanying and taking care of you, using her body to make you happy for a long time. That period of time was the most beautiful dream in your memory.
However, dreams will eventually be shattered.
Suddenly one day, the entire courtyard was disturbed by a huge force and fell apart like building blocks. You were naked and lifted in the air by an irresistible force, and you felt ashamed of the unprecedented fear and shame.
Standing in front of you were three monks wearing golden masks. They were wearing golden robes with embroidered words and a big "punishment" embroidered in the middle. Their voices were like spears piercing your heart. They spoke word by word with solemn and majestic power to tell you how you broke the precepts of adultery in Taiyun Sect.
You were just a young boy at the time, and you had never seen such a terrible scene. You were so scared that you lost your mind. You didn't even know where the woman who accompanied you had gone. You could only cry and beg for forgiveness.
But the punishment still came as promised. You were tied to the golden pillar and whipped day and night by the three punishment monks with golden thunder whips. Every whip made you feel pain deep in your bones and soul, and they also asked you loudly where you were wrong. One whip after another, you can no longer count how many whips you have received. You only know that the lust that had risen in your heart before has disappeared in the whipping like a storm, and only the fear of lust remains in your heart.
Finally, the whipping ended, and you fainted completely. When you woke up, you found that you were back to the empty and bright world. There is no deep manor here, no soft beauty, only endless tranquility. You returned to this world that you once hated, and for some reason, you felt deeply at ease.
That cruel spring dream was like an indelible scar in your heart, which made you so painful that you dared not fantasize or act rashly. You could only practice quietly in this world, silently improve your cultivation, and cut off your lust. In a flash, you have lost your youth and spent ten years alone.
During these ten years, you practiced hard in this world every day, with nowhere to put your thoughts, and you could only comprehend the scriptures that the old man had left for you. Suddenly, you felt that such days were not too difficult, until one day, the old man who taught you the scriptures stepped into this golden world again and appeared in front of you.
You were very excited. For you, this serious old man was the only relative in your heart. Now seeing him again, I feel mixed emotions in my heart, and I have a lot to say to him. However, the old man, as usual, did not pay attention to your enthusiasm. You found that not only the old man came to this world, but also five people followed the old man to this world.
Four men and one woman, they were very excited and curious to enter this world, and they seemed very honored. It seemed that every breath of air in this world was sweet to them.
You don’t know why the old man brought other people to this world. You used to hate this boring world, but now you think this world is only for you, and you don’t want others to be contaminated. But you dare not express this idea.
You glanced at the five people, and the five people also looked at you.
Suddenly, you saw the eyes of the female cultivator, and your soul was shaken in an instant.
Because her eyes looked very much like the woman you met ten years ago, your heart immediately palpitated, but the painful memories suddenly surged up, frightening you to sweat and retreat one after another. The female cultivator saw your helpless expression and laughed so hard that her branches and branches shook, which was particularly beautiful. You wanted to look up to see her smile, but you didn't dare to look up.
According to the old man, you will follow the five people as brothers in the future. Since you are the youngest and have the lowest Taoism, you can only be the youngest brother. In this way, the old man's teachings that were previously exclusive to you were distributed to the other five people, and you could only sit at the end and learn Taoism with the brothers and sisters.
In order to take care of the progress of all the brothers and sisters in cultivation, the old man often explained very profound scriptures, and no longer guided you like in the past. It seems that he is more concerned about the progress of the brothers and sisters in cultivation. Even if you are confused by the explanation due to your low level of cultivation, you have no choice but to study hard.
This feeling makes you feel very uncomfortable, as if the only thing in the world that belongs to you has also been taken away. That feeling of rejection makes you very incompatible with your senior brothers. Of course, your senior brothers have nothing to say to you, and even reject you a little, because you have never communicated with others, your words are rude, you are very dull, and you often don't understand the senior brothers' chattering and laughing.
Only that senior sister often gives you a warm smile, but you dare not respond to this smile.
In addition to practicing, the old man will also arrange for the disciples to fight. No matter who you choose, you can't escape the fate of being abused. This makes others shake their heads at you frequently, but the old man still looks calm to you. Others' opinions don't matter to you, but the old man's attitude makes you unacceptable.
Because after living with the senior brothers and sisters, you suddenly discovered that the old man is not without emotions. The old man often gives a kind smile to the best-performing senior brother and praises his achievements. The smiles that the old man gives to others are like sharp knives that directly pierce your chest, causing you to feel severe pain in your heart.
At this time, you feel another emotion, which is very strong and lingering.
That is - jealousy.
The red flowers of the other shore begin to bloom slowly at the edge of your sight.
