Chapter 1326: There Is a Way for All Things (I)
This time back in the Tower of Babel, Lin Tianyang seems to have a better understanding of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel than the last time he came back as a fish, although it is not yet certain whether this is the true meaning of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel, but Lin Tianyang feels that he should see more clearly.
Without saying anything to Tongtian Lao Dao, Lin Tianyang gave the spar again, and entered the Tower of Babel one after another.
When Lin Tianyang's consciousness was restored again, this time, Lin Tianyang was surprised to find that he had actually become a tree.
Although Lin Tianyang had long been prepared that it might turn into anything, or even turn into a bug, he didn't expect that it would turn into an immobile tree, and it was a small tree that seemed to have just grown for a few years.
Turning into a tree really surprised Lin Tianyang, but after the accident, he felt more clearly the true meaning of the seventeenth floor of the Babel Tower.
Turning into a tree, Lin Tianyang couldn't move, and even his soul couldn't leave the range of this tree, which made Lin Tianyang indeed a little uncomfortable, but since this was already the case, Lin Tianyang simply began to further comprehend what he had comprehended.
The growth of trees is slow, and after being a tree, Lin Tianyang felt that although trees can actually move, it is just that the movement of trees is really slow, and ordinary people can't see it, and as a tree, they can also feel their own situation.
Lin Tianyang found that there were some insects in his branches, and these insects kept sucking their own juice to feed themselves, but although there were insects sucking the juice, Lin Tianyang didn't have any painful feelings, and even if the insect was eaten by a bird later, there was no special feeling when the bird pecked the bark, but the insect was eaten by the bird, which was something that could be felt. It really made Lin Tianyang feel very novel.
In this way, in the case of being a tree, Lin Tianyang passed year after year.
More than ten years later, Lin Tianyang, who was originally a small sapling, has grown into a big tree, and two birds that looked like a couple took a fancy to Lin Tianyang's big tree, so they built a bird's nest on a branch.
More than a month later, three eggs appeared in the nest, and more than a month passed. The eggs hatched three young birds.
When the three little birds were born, their eyes did not open, but they only grew their mouths and asked their parents for food, so the bird couple kept catching small insects and even small mice everywhere. Baby lizards feed their children.
Looking at such a scene, Lin Tianyang felt quite warm at first. It's also very interesting. But soon Lin Tianyang found that one of the three birds was obviously weaker, and every time he fought for food, he was not as good as the other two siblings, only after his two siblings had eaten enough. This is to get some food, and although the parents are very diligent, they still can't feed their three children every day.
So, in this case. As time went on, the little bird became weaker and weaker, and finally became dying.
In a dusk that rained heavily for several days, because the bird parents could not hunt well under the heavy rain, so when the bird parents went out, the bird brothers directly moved on the seemingly dead brother and swallowed it directly, and after the bird parents returned, they just took the child's eaten bones out of the nest.
The development of this bird family made Lin Tianyang think deeply, and with his observations, Lin Tianyang felt that he might be closer to the true meaning of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel.
Of course, Lin Tianyang knew very well that even if he knew the meaning of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel, there was still a long way to go to truly understand it.
Lin Tianyang, the place where the big tree is located, has not seen snow for a few years after becoming a tree, and it is relatively warm when it is the coldest, so the birds on the branches have not migrated, and they have lived here for several years in a row, raising seven or eight small birds, but after a certain day, the eagle that has been bigger has come here, and the bird couple's family was destroyed like this.
Lin Tianyang, who was a tree, watched the bird couple flee into the distance, but because his body couldn't move, so in the end Lin Tianyang didn't know, and after that, the bird couple did not come back, and the bird's nest was abandoned, and finally became a spider's residence, which relied on the bird's nest and weaved a spider's web to catch flying insects here.
Time slowly continued to pass, and Lin Tianyang's big tree became a dwelling place for many birds and insects, and sometimes even some small animals climbed up to the treetops to rest temporarily, or spent the night on the branches.
With the passage of time, Lin Tianyang's big tree grew more and more densely, and finally became a towering giant tree, with thick branches that could not be hugged by even a dozen people.
On this day, Lin Tianyang, who was a tree, suddenly found that a person appeared under the shade of his tree, this was a hunter, with a spear in his hand and a basket on his back, which contained some small animals.
This is the first time Lin Tianyang has seen a person after hundreds of years after becoming a tree, although this person just stopped under the tree for a while and left, but the appearance of someone still made Lin Tianyang feel very surprised, because this is the first time Lin Tianyang has discovered that he can see people from a different perspective.
Not long after this person appeared and disappeared quickly, Lin Tianyang saw someone appear, he was also a hunter, and he seemed to be very young.
This time, the young hunter did not leave quickly, but was very interested in Lin Tianyang's big tree, climbed up and down the tree, and lingered for a long time before leaving.
The next day, Lin Tianyang found that the young hunter had brought more than a dozen men and women here, and after they saw Lin Tianyang's big tree, they couldn't help but nod their heads with satisfaction, and then they picked up the primitive axe and chisel in their hands and began to dig on Lin Tianyang's big tree.
Soon the inside of Lin Tianyang's big tree was hollowed out, and he was made into a tree house by these hunters, but even so, Lin Tianyang, who was a big tree, was not dead, and he could still watch these dozen hunter families live in his body.
Their bodies became their home, and every day the young men went out to hunt, while the young women went to pick the fruits, and the old people and children took care of some sundries at home.
A year later, the one initially found himself. And the young hunter who made this place his home had a child of his own, and this child was born in the home of Lin Tianyang's big tree.
The boy was a boy and looked very good, and the young hunter was very happy when he saw it.
This is the first child born in the body of Lin Tianyang's big tree, as a father's young hunter, looking at Lin Tianyang's big tree, followed on a beautiful stone, carved a simple pattern of Lin Tianyang's big tree, and finally used it as a talisman and hung it around his son's neck. And named the child a tree.
The tree was very fast, only five or six years old, it was already very visible, and by the time he was seven or eight years old, he had already begun to go out hunting with his father, and when he was in his teens. became an excellent hunter.
The tree can hunt a lot of prey every time it goes out, and it has been in this for nearly two decades. It grew to a tribe of more than 30 people. The tree became the leader.
After the tree became the leader, this originally small tribe developed quickly, and in a few years, the number of people increased several times, and Lin Tianyang, a big tree, has always been the residence of the tree. And it became a symbol of the supreme power of the tribe.
A few years later, after an outing, the tree was seriously injured, and it didn't take long for him to do so. He died in the big tree of Lin Tianyang.
Lin Tianyang watched his life from birth to death, the course of more than 30 years of life, verified his life, and after his death, the son of the tree became the leader of the tribe, and he also lived in the big tree of Lin Tianyang.
Gradually, Lin Tianyang's big tree became a symbol of the tribe.
Lin Tianyang watched the continuous development of this tribe, the number of people continued to grow, although there were some setbacks, but overall it became stronger and stronger, the pattern drawn by the father of the original tree, the former young hunter, has become the totem of the tribe, engraved on the door of every important member of the tribe.
Whenever there are festivals in the tribe, men will draw this pattern on their backs.
On this day, it is an important festival of the tribe, the men and women of the tribe have dressed themselves very beautifully, many men have painted the totem of the tribe, and then come to the big tree of Lin Tianyang, and it can even be said that it is praised as a sacred tree by the tribe, and pray to the big tree of Lin Tianyang.
At night, the men and women of the tribe lit a bonfire not far in front of Lin Tianyang, the sacred tree of the tribe, and everyone celebrated this festival with singing and dancing.
But just when everyone was still silent and happy, suddenly hundreds of spears flew from a distance, directly piercing the bodies of many people, and then hundreds of strong men from other tribes rushed in, raised their big knives and axes and slashed at the tribesmen.
Lin Tianyang, the big tree, testified to the growth and rise of the tribe, and also proved that on this night, the entire tribe perished instantly, and after a massacre, a man carrying a blood-stained axe, laughed and picked up a wooden stick that burned the flames, walked to Lin Tianyang, the big tree, and then lit the big tree.
The flames soon spread to all the trees, although Lin Tianyang didn't feel pain, but he did sigh in his heart, he knew that his trip to the Tower of Babel was coming to an end, but this time he seemed to have gained more than the last time.
When his consciousness as a tree disappeared, Lin Tianyang soon found himself standing in front of Tongtian Lao Dao again.
"You've been in there for a long time this time, how about it, you've realized a lot of things, right?" Tong Tiandao looked at Lin Tianyang and asked with a smile.
Lin Tianyang also smiled slightly: "Yes, I seem to have understood the meaning of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel, these few times I entered the Tower of Babel, I became a fish, a cow, and even a tree, which allows me to understand the truth of the survival of all things from different angles, what the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel really wants me to understand should be that everything has a way!"
"Anything, has its own way of heaven, whether it is a big fish eating a small fish, or the natural survival and development of the herd, the strong live, the old and weak die such as the weak and the strong, or even as a tree, become a part of its use, play its own value, in the dark is the arrangement of the way of heaven, every thing that exists, the sky has already set the way for him, and we monks, whether it is a human being, or a demon beast into a spirit, are all against the sky, and really to cross the constraints of the way of heaven, first of all, we must understand the way of heaven, understand the way of heavenLin Tianyang said everything he has realized so far!"
Hearing Lin Tianyang's words, Tongtian Lao Dao laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad." You are really talented, and you only went in three times to say the mystery of the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel, but you still know that there is still a lot of difference between understanding and comprehension, and you still have to experience it well!"
"I understand this, this Babel Tower is really not simple, each layer in the tower has its own meaning, especially the back few layers, it is even more significant!" Lin Tianyang nodded and said.
"It's good that you can understand!" heard Lin Tianyang reply. Tongtian Lao Dao also nodded with satisfaction.
"Dao Chief, I still want to go in once!" Lin Tianyang said.
"Of course there's no problem with this, just give it to the spar!" said Tong Tian Dao with a smile, but now he no longer seems to be deliberately pretending to be a philistine. It's more like a master of the Tao.
Lin Tianyang also nodded, and then after giving the spar. Walked into the Tower of Babel again.
After entering the Tower of Babel this time. Lin Tianyang found that he was actually in the water, but soon found that he had not become a fish, but a snake, a snake swimming in the water.
Being able to move, Lin Tianyang subconsciously felt that his luck was not bad this time. But it was strange to find out that I was glad to be a snake.
Lin Tianyang soon found out where he was. It's not the sea, it's not even a lake, it's just a small river.
The river is quite calm, just flowing slowly downstream.
Since Lin Tianyang has become a snake, he will go downstream along the river for the time being.
As a snake, compared to a fish, it is quite able to endure hunger, and it has not eaten for several days, and it does not feel anything.
In the past few days, sometimes Lin Tianyang will go ashore and take a turn to observe the surrounding situation.
After a series of observations, Lin Tianyang found that there seemed to be no trace of human beings nearby, and he should be by an ordinary stream in a dense forest.
Continuing down the stream, after a few more days, Lin Tianyang finally arrived at a relatively spacious river, and at this time, Lin Tianyang finally felt his hunger, so it took a lot of effort, relying on the instinct of the snake, to catch a fish to eat.
After swallowing this not small fish, Lin Tianyang soon felt that his movements had become sluggish, and he had no choice but to go to the grass somewhere by the river and rest temporarily.
Just when Lin Tianyang rested for a long time, in the middle of the night, suddenly a huge sound alarmed Lin Tianyang, he immediately coiled his body, erected his head, and through the grass, he saw that on a rock not far from the other side of the river, a big snake that was hundreds or thousands of times bigger than himself coiled his body at this moment, opened his big mouth, and highlighted a crystal clear bead under the moonlight, absorbing the essence of the moonlight.
Such a scene made Lin Tianyang feel extremely shocked, because he had entered the seventeenth floor of the Tower of Babel several times, this was the first time Lin Tianyang had seen a cultivator exist, although it was just a snake, a snake that had not yet become a refinement, but it was enough to make Lin Tianyang feel special.
With such an example in front of him, Lin Tianyang felt that this time he would have to try it no matter what, to see if he could break through the limitations and cultivate into a demon beast himself.
After having a goal, Lin Tianyang looked forward to it even more, but as a snake, Lin Tianyang didn't know how to cultivate, but since there were examples in front of him, Lin Tianyang also began to think about it carefully.
Months have passed in a blink of an eye, and after months of study, Lin Tianyang has found a way to make this snake body cultivate, but it has just started, and the effect is not great, but the season is late autumn, as a snake, the snake body begins to become more and more sluggish, Lin Tianyang believes that if it is colder, he may be completely frozen.
Perhaps the best way to do this would be to find a place to hide and hibernate.
It's a pity that Lin Tianyang just had this plan, the weather suddenly became cold and windy, and the temperature dropped a lot in an instant, Lin Tianyang didn't have time to dig a hole for himself to hide, he was completely frozen in the grass, and Lin Tianyang himself lost consciousness.
Lin Tianyang thought that he would go directly back to the outside of the Tower of Babel this time, but when his consciousness recovered again, he found that he was still lying in the grass, and the weather had begun to warm up, but his body was obviously very weak, obviously he had experienced a winter, and his body had reached the extreme.
I tried to get my body out of the grass and onto a rock, and as the sun shone on, my body gradually returned to normal.
After regaining his vitality, Lin Tianyang still decided to solve his weak physical condition first, so he plunged headlong into the still somewhat cold water.
Just after entering the water, Lin Tianyang was horrified to find that the giant snake that he had seen and spit out Neidan to absorb the essence of the moonlight under the moonlight swam past him.
Now that he is facing such an existence that can already be regarded as a demon beast, he has no resistance at all, so he can only stay quietly in place, motionless.
Because of the appearance of Lin Tianyang, a relatively small snake, it obviously attracted the attention of the giant snake, and the giant snake turned its body and faced Lin Tianyang, the little snake.
Being stared at by such a giant snake, Lin Tianyang felt that he had a feeling of facing death directly, although he was just a snake at the moment, but this feeling was instinctive and could not be erased, and at this moment he could only pray that this giant snake could let him go.
