Dream Picking Records

“Is this how those people were trapped and died?”

His spirit took the form of a human and walked on the lake, but it seemed like it was standing still and could not reach the end. In the silent world, there was only the sky, without any sound or hint.

The answer can only be at the bottom of the lake.

He leaned over and scooped up the lake water with one hand. During the process, the water did not ripple at all, and his clear reflection appeared in the palm of his hand.

He suddenly exerted force and punched the lake surface, but the surface did not splash any water, but was as hard as iron.

"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Wang Xiao couldn't help but complain.

"It seems that the necessary procedures must be followed."

He stood up, pointed to the sky with one hand, and after concentrating all his energy, he shouted, "What is my Tao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky and the bottom of the lake became dark.

The calm lake surface seemed to be raining, with dense circles of ripples spreading out in all directions. The reflections on the lake surface became blurred, and at some point they dissipated and turned into a breathtaking vortex.

As the vortex took shape, an extremely strong suction force was released from its center, which was brutal and unreasonable, as if it could crush any existence at the top of the ninth level of Guiyuan.

"What the hell is that? Open it for me!"

Wang Xiao shouted and expanded his domain, and the overbearing vortex was forced to stop spinning by him.

"This is not a solution." He stayed in mid-air and did not choose to jump out of the vortex. "Let's fight. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

After saying this, he ended the domain without hesitation and allowed the vortex to swallow him.

Bubbles rose up and the light gradually became dim.

After an unknown amount of time, dots of light appeared in his sight, gathering together to form a broad road that appeared under his feet.

As he walked along the avenue, several thoughts flashed through his mind, all of which were his thoughts about the state of Hedao.

The road suddenly split into several paths, corresponding to the number in his mind, and each one was wider than the one under his feet.

Wang Xiao stood there and looked around. He could not see the end of any of the roads. However, there was no doubt that the end of each road was brilliant and glorious.

He wanted to take every route.

He won't go down any road.

There are natural chasms between the roads, and each road stretches for an unknown distance. If you walk on one road, you will never have the chance to walk on another one.

Greed is always counterproductive.

But this is the practice of Taoism, competing with others, competing with heaven, competing with oneself, otherwise what is the difference between you and a salted fish.

Along the way, he tried to go as far as possible after learning about the road to truth. Therefore, if there was only one road to choose from, he would never be content.

"Can't you merge several roads together? I want to go all the way!"

Wang Xiao let out a long roar, and suddenly a strange sound was heard in the space.

"Om~"

Several broad roads sparkled with light, twisted, decomposed, and transformed into stars again, gathering together to form a road that was more than ten times wider.

"Is this okay?"

The avenue bewitched people's minds and planted a seed in Wang Xiao's heart. The seed took root, sprouted, and blossomed into a charming flower, fragrant, gorgeous, and beautiful beyond words.

The key is that he doesn't need to pick the fruits, the rich fruits already belong to him.

Wang Xiao closed his eyes unconsciously and took a deep sniff of its fragrance, which was refreshing and lingering.

He raised his foot, but the road ahead was no longer as magnificent as before. It had turned into a bloody abyss, quietly waiting for its prey to come to it.

Wang Xiao took a step forward while savoring the fragrance, and chewed the flesh with his big mouth as he wished.

"Wang Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

Li Jingyi shook Wang Xiao's arm, but no matter how she cast a spell, she couldn't wake him up. Since there was no precedent, she was at a loss for a moment.

There were many people around who were just there to have fun, and quite a few who had seen many people go crazy before, so they were also confused by his condition.

"Click, click, click."

Only this voice echoed in the darkness, and it lasted for a long time.

Wang Xiao could not feel any pain and could not hear any chewing sound.

There is only one bright flower that fully releases its beauty.

There is only one lonely human being who is enjoying the joy that belongs to him.

Addicted, unable to extricate oneself.

Like a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper into it.

"Wake up soon!"

A prayer passed by Wang Xiao's ears, strong and sincere.

He suddenly opened his eyes at the sound of the prayer, and in front of him there was a blurry figure sitting weakly and crying.

I saw a paper crane flapping its wings and grabbing him, who was in tatters, from its big mouth.

The paper crane came from the broken void and left after breaking the void.

Big Mouth then disappeared, leaving only Wang Xiao standing on the broken road with no way forward.

"Such a familiar voice, such a familiar figure..."

His body recovered instantly, as if nothing had happened. He racked his brains to search for the voice and figure that just flashed by, but they became more and more blurred. Only the paper crane that had a brief contact with him was clearly imprinted in his mind.

The paper crane is extremely ordinary, like a simple handicraft.

The only strange thing was that there was a wet spot on the paper crane. Other than that, there was no trace.

"If it hadn't helped me, would I have been trapped and died on my own path?"

Wang Xiao didn't have time to think about it, after all, he was still in danger. The road was cut off, where should he go?

There were bottomless abysses on three sides, and the only way out was to retreat. Retreating was absolutely not an option, so he simply sat down cross-legged on the spot and recited the poem on the stone tablet.

"Searching and searching, walking in confusion, the way is unclear. How many autumns have passed in the world of mortals? The lake is in my heart and the water is clear."

People are always searching with confusion, unable to see the chaotic road clearly. Do you want to ask for directions in the world?

In this troubled world, few people can see the road ahead clearly, and who can guide whom?

As time passed, Wang Xiao's chaotic thoughts became unified.

"It seems that we must start with Ming Dao."

He held his chin in his hand and stared into the abyss.

"There are many ways, each with its own unique expression. The ways of individuals are also different. How can a lake know where my way is? Even if it can see into my soul, how can it make choices for me?"

It’s like you tell something to your teacher or friend and ask them to help you make a decision. Maybe after analysis they think option A is good, and option A is indeed not bad, but is it really the best one for you?

If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? How can others know whether Yi, C, and D, who seem to be inferior, will be more suitable for you and help you go further?

"What is Tao?"

"Tao is the source of all things, the root of all laws, and the law of the operation of all things. Wherever I go is Tao, and wherever I go is Tao."

Wang Xiao stood up and walked on the ground, looking at the rows of footprints he left behind. He recalled the scene of his passionate speech on the Hundred-Step Heavenly Ladder, which was his ten-year persistence in self-cultivation.

The road you have walked is your own path. If others ask you to turn, is it still your path?

Practice Taoism, practice Taoism, cultivate your own path, and achieve your own way.

"Wherever I go is the way!"

Wang Xiao was more determined than ever before, and he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment and sublimation.

"There is no need to seek the myriad ways of the world; cultivating myself is enough."

"Boom!"

Thunder roared in broad daylight, striking Wang Xiao who was standing there stupidly, and the people around him immediately scattered.

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Jingyi stood in front of him without hesitation. If he was hit by the arrow, he would not only become stupid.

"Hmm~"

She whimpered and seemed a little panicked.

It turned out that Wang Xiao saw this scene when he woke up, and hurriedly embraced her body, raising his hand to fight against the oncoming lightning.

"Leave first. If you stay with me, Thunder will target you as well."

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning loomed. She looked at it all in amazement, unable to believe that someone could bring about a thunderstorm.

"Be careful."

Li Jingyi retreated into the crowd of people who were talking, looking solemn.

"This kid hasn't turned into a psychopath?"

"I'm afraid the heavens are not happy and have sent down thunderbolts to turn you into a physical fool."

"Not necessarily. Judging from his previous appearance, maybe he just happened to enter a state of concentration and break through."

Joking aside, they all knew that the boy in front of them must be no simple person.
