The ancient book with a blue cover and golden figures comes from the ancient time.
After their dreamy conversation, where did the girl named Momo go? Lin Luoran hesitates to step forward. The existence of the ancient book proves what happened was real. The gold figures suddenly appeared.
The second half of the unnamed medicine book from the Lin family was found in a variety store on N2 planet. When the two parts were put together, Momo appeared. The medicine book had a name—”Tao”.
Lin Luoran does not think that the family heirloom undisguised remains a simple medicine book.
After all, its title is extremely arrogant. It’s called the “Tao “.
Cultivation is also commonly known as cultivating the Tao. In addition to training Qi, the cultivators attract Reiki from the world of five elements to train their flesh. They do that to prolong life, and also to reach a realm that matches their personal ability. Therefore, cultivation is the process of embracing the true self and abandoning the false one.
Scholars of Huaxia ancient Tao once said that the final stage of cultivation is the Tao of nature. That’s why it is called the Tao of nature.
Everything in the world, including this eternal universe, follows rules of life and death , which is an ubiquitous law… People cannot escape the Tao of nature. The theory of this book is bold.
The room is quiet. Lin Luoran finally couldn’t control her curiosity. She wants to read it.
The thin book cover seems to weigh ten thousand pounds. When she tries to turn it over, the book cover remains still. The entire book called “Tao” could not be moved. It seems to be stuck on the table.
Lin Luoran starts due to curiosity, but at the moment she gets excited.
Fire. Water. Nothing damages the “Tao” book. Lin Luoran thinks for a while. She tries to put Wakan into the blue books— The book swallows her Waken like a whale drinking water. Lin Luoran’s Reiki rushes in like crazy. Her face turns pale immediately.
The four golden elixirs in the pubic region are running at high speed. In the late Bearing Essence, her meridian stocks a lot of sticky Reiki. But now they are all absorbed by the Tao book. Lin Luoran can’t get rid of it. For a moment, she feels that the meridian is burning due to exhaustion. Her golden elixirs turn faster. Lin Luoran fears that they will split under high-speed rotation!
Repairing Essence is more difficult than Bearing Essence. After they are seriously injured, many cultivators can’t advance in a lifetime.
Lin Luoran is a well-experienced cultivator who has a space. But even she can’t guarantee there is another chance of Bearing Essence after her golden elixir is broken! After all, there are four golden elixirs in her body. Her Bearing Essence is four times more difficult than that of an ordinary cultivator. A serious injury may harm the Taoist root … Lin Luoran’s forehead is full of sweat; her green dress soaked through.
She smiles bitterly. She thought the book was a treasure for personal ability. Who would have known it is like a bomb?
When her Wakan is about to be eaten up, Lin Luoran thinks that she will hear the cracking of her golden elixirs. But instead, the blue cover of Tao book suddenly lightens and is easily lifted by Lin Luoran.
With such a strike, she is unable to stand up. Lin Luoran falls into the chair and gasps.
Wakan is really the most precious thing of a cultivator. Lin Luoran knows it well now. She calms down and looks at the pages of the book that she risks her life to open—
She almost dies when she sees the pages!
She is so angry that she couldn’t help laughing. The “Tao”, which opens after absorbing all the Reiki of a cultivator in the late Bearing Essence, is white and clean. There is no Taoist collection. Even the prescriptions are gone. You can’t even find an ink dot on the first page!
She tries to turn to the second page, but it sticks there like the previous book cover. Lin Luoran feels frustrated.
Even if she wants to open it, she doesn’t have any Reiki to put in the “Tao” book. Having questions of the ancient book, Lin decides to put this wordless book aside. Before leaving N2 planet, she wants to go back to check the variety store.
However, when she stands up, she feels dizzy and weak. Lin Luoran tumbles on the table, falling asleep with her head on the blue “Tao” book.
After a flash of golden light, there is a small black spot on the white page. It then spreads like an ink painting, like the floating clouds in the sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Luoran is sleeping. She doesn’t know the golden light suddenly appearing in her room attracts fire phoenix. It jumps out of its room with a face full of joy. However, as time passes, the door on the second floor of the small wooden hut never opens. Fire phoenix starts to be worried. It wants to break in several times but doesn’t do it eventually.
“What is she doing there for such a long time?” Wood wolf comes over, but fire phoenix in a bad mood just beats it up. Seeing the wood wolf’s upset face, fire phoenix feels kind of relieved.
It’s so annoying to see the stupid face of wood wolf. Only the phoenix knows every change of the space and every advance of Lin Luoran. It is the only one concerned about what happened. Fire phoenix doesn’t want to blame silver fish, but it is full of anger seeing the idle wood wolf.
Is it the so-called “menopause” of the human race?
Fire phoenix is very depressed. It counts its age with the fingers. It has already forgotten how old it is this year.
However, it seems that “Tao” has appeared. It’s not sure when the man would come to see Linny. Fire phoenix buried its head under its wings. Never understanding the man’s idea, fire phoenix feels frustrated.
……
Anxious fire phoenix’s pacing outside the room, but Lin Luoran doesn’t know anything.
As her Wakan has been exhausted, she is very tired. Leaning on the table with “Tao” under her head, she sleeps very well.
No one knows how long it has passed. Suddenly Lin Luoran hears someone talking. The voice sounds sweet and lively, like birds playing with each other. She wakes up abruptly and finds herself lying on a large rock. The lake breeze is soft and the sunlight is warm. Ten meters in front, closer to the lakeshore, there is a table. White pieces of paper are blown by the wind. The one talking is Momo… at the age of seven or eight?
She is wearing a beautiful dress and has combed a bun. Her big eyes look like two half-moons when she smiles. She jumps around in her gleaming skirt, just like the girl under the Guanyin seat in the New Year paintings.
Momo’s is obviously talking to the man beside her. The man is wearing an ordinary robe and has an ordinary appearance as if covered by mist that will drown in the crowd at any time—it is the man in robe!
Lin Luoran is still calm seeing Momo. After all, they’ve met twice. But when she sees the man in robe, Lin Luoran is shocked and almost fell from the rock.
She makes some noise, but the two people on the lakeshore did not see her.
“These words are so difficult. I don’t want to learn anymore. Shall we go to see the deer?”
Momo raises her face and acts like a spoiled child. Lin Luoran doesn’t know that Momo, who has sly eyes, can be like that. She thinks that man in robe will not agree, but he nods.
In the sunset, his face is covered with water vapor from the lake. Just like this beautiful lake and mountain scenery in Chinese paintings. People never remember the exact look of the scenery.
“Hug me. Hug me.” Momo pulls the man in robe’s cuffs and acts spoiled. Lin Luoran thinks the man with an indifferent look will never respond to her, but unexpectedly, he really bents down and hugs Momo.
At the junction of the bushes and shrubs not far away, there are two elks fed on tender leaves. The man in robe takes Momo there, and the deers rush over. Momo jumps from the arms of the man in robe, giggling while holding the elk’s neck.
The man in robe looks down at her, and the wind blows up his robe and hair.
A few steps away is the clear lake. The sparkling lake surface is dyed golden by the setting sun. The grass grows over the knees. Momo is holding the elk’s neck. The man in robe quietly waits for her. Lin Luoran is like a bystander, accidentally peeping into the happy moment belonging to others. She feels lost for a long time.
It is like a dream, but the birds in the deep forest sound so clear.
The voice of the little girl. The figure of the man in robe … How could she dream of such a moment?
No, this is not a dream. It must be the blue “Tao” book!
Lin Luoran looks towards the lake. Momo chases the elk farther and farther. The man in robe follows slowly. The lake is quiet. Suddenly, there is her alone.
Before she woke up, they were practicing Chinese calligraphy!
Lin Luoran couldn’t help moving, bit by bit, towards the lake.
What is blown up by the wind is indeed a stack of written copybooks. Lin Luoran tries to read them. Words on them are the same as those on the cover of the book Tao.
Although the brushwork is a jerky one done by beginners, Lin Luoran can feel the power within the writing.
She grits her teeth and wants to flip the copybook, but finds her hands crossing the table.
She stops walking by the lake, and almost falling in.
She can sleep on the rock and walk on this ground, but why can’t she flip the copybook? Lin Luoran doesn’t know the reason. Seeing the man in robe taking Momo away, Lin gets anxious. But she doesn’t know what to do.
