I am practicing in a weird world

　Xiao Yi came to a high place and looked at the entire campus. There was a big pit where the playground was. It was a very huge pit that almost occupied half of the playground. With this huge pit as the center, a large number of buildings suffered varying degrees of damage. The whole scene was like a major earthquake disaster.

　But the students are completely unaware of all this. They are busy trying to survive, running between supermarkets, dormitories, and canteens, trying to survive seven days.

　Even though they were walking on abandoned bricks and stones, they didn't feel anything and just walked on. They took detours around the huge piles of construction waste that were obviously impossible to cross, and they didn't even notice that they were taking detours.

　Volume 1: Chapter 23: I Can't Do It

　A large number of crazy students were hiding under everyone's noses, hiding in the collapsed room next to them. They could be seen at a glance, but the students did not see anything.

　Looking towards the school gate, the gate is clearly visible, but outside the gate, there is still a vast expanse of white fog. Looking around, there is also a vast expanse of white fog. There is also a vast expanse of white fog in all directions.

　Under the moonlight, the thick white fog retreated and no longer entered the school, but the white fog still existed.

　Shifting my perception away from the pure light within my body, the campus in front of me is still the same intact campus, without any change at all.

　The campus is clean and beautiful, and students walking around the campus look normal.

　Looking towards the school gate, the gate is clearly visible and there is no thick fog outside the gate. Under the moonlight, there are only clearly visible streets and shops.

　This is what's going on. Why do two completely different faces of the school appear in front of me?

　Our school should be in good condition, so what's wrong with that dilapidated school?

　Could this be the truth that Lin Lingniao said?

　Does Lin Lingniao mean that the school I saw was an illusion, and this dilapidated school is the truth?

　Xiao Yi's face was full of confusion.

　Two days ago, the school was fine. Then, a strange thick fog and a broadcast appeared, telling everyone the rules they needed to follow, and it has been like this ever since.

　Xiao Yi recalled what happened and thought about it again.

　There are reasons why the campus has become a ruin.

　Go ask Lin Lingniao, maybe she knows something.

　Xiao Yi is looking for the Lin Ling Bird.

　He scanned the campus but could find no trace of the Lin Ling Bird.

　Opening his perception, as the pure beam of light emanated, the appearance of the school began to change in his eyes, and the ruins of the school began to appear in his eyes.

　Looking around the ruined school, Xiao Yi set his sights on a ruin near the school gate. Lin Lingniao was on top of the ruins.

　This place is a ruined building, formed by the collapse of a building. Ordinary people cannot see it at all, and people will automatically avoid it when they walk here. It is a perfect hiding place.

　At the very top of this place, there was a flat concrete block, nearly one meter in size. The Lin Ling Bird stood on the edge of the ruins and began to summon moths.

　As she moved, a large number of moths suddenly gathered in the middle of the concrete block. They spun and danced like a pure white tornado.

　What is Lin Lingniao doing?

　Doubt emerged in Xiao Yi's eyes.

　The next moment, Lin Lingniao flew directly into the group of moths and spun its body inside. Suddenly, the hem of her skirt lifted up and fluttered.

　After a few seconds, the moths dispersed, and Lin Lingniao stood barefoot among the concrete stones. The moonlight shone on her body, casting a shadow behind her. The shadow was huge and twisted, just like a twisted ancient tree.

　Xiao Yi felt somewhat familiar with Lin Lingniao's action. He thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered that this action of Lin Lingniao was exactly the same as the action Lin Lingniao made when it appeared in front of him before.

　He took out his phone, took a picture of Lin Lingniao, and then sent a message to Lin Lingniao: "What are you doing?"

　"Buzz!"

　The sound of a vibrating cell phone came from Lin Lingniao's bag. She turned her head to look at the other side of the concrete block, where her bag was.

　He quickly walked to the bag, took out his cell phone, and immediately saw the message sent by Xiao Yi.

　She tapped her finger on the phone and sent a message: "I'm reading."

　On Xiao Yi's side, when he saw the message sent by Lin Lingniao, a smile appeared on his face, and he sent the photo he had just taken.

　When Lin Lingniao saw the photo appearing on his phone, he was stunned.

　She quickly glanced around and immediately saw Xiao Yi standing in the distance.

　Suddenly, her cheeks turned red all the way to her neck.

　She quickly sent a message: "I'm practicing, transforming the knowledge and energy I've gained into combat power. Don't get the wrong idea."

　Xiao Yi smiled and sent a message: "So you're practicing martial arts, not practicing a cool entrance pose. I thought you were practicing posing."

　"It's not about practicing posing, it's about improving combat power, improving combat power."

　Lin Lingniao explained in a panic.

　Xiao Yi found it quite interesting to see Lin Lingniao's flustered look.

　He no longer dwelled on this matter and sent a message: "Wait for me there for a while. I have some questions that I want to ask you."

　After sending the message, he put the phone in his pocket, went downstairs and walked towards where Lin Lingniao was.

　Climbing up the ruins of the building where Lin Lingniao was, I saw Lin Lingniao already sitting there.

　Xiao Yi casually sat down cross-legged and asked, "I saw two schools, one dilapidated and in ruins, and one that looked like a normal school. Which one is the real one?"

　"Of course the destroyed school is real." Lin Lingniao said.

　Xiao Yi asked, "Why do you think the dilapidated school is real? There's no reason for our school to be so dilapidated. To cause such extensive damage, it would have to be an earthquake, but we haven't experienced an earthquake."

　Lin Lingniao said seriously, "Because seeing is believing, what the ruined school doesn't have, the intact school also doesn't have either. What is there is only an illusion, and it's clear at a glance which is real and which is fake.

　I don’t know why our school became a ruin or when it became a ruin, but this is what I saw.”

　"Seeing is believing. This is indeed very convincing." Xiao Yi nodded and continued, "I stared at the long sword in the security room, and then I felt a beam of light awaken. The shape of the light was that of a flame, and the color was neither dirty nor pure. It was hard to tell what it was. What was it?"

　"Hmm." Lin Lingniao cleared his throat and said, "I can answer your question, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

　"What conditions?" Xiao Yi's face showed confusion.

　What conditions does Lin Lingniao want all of a sudden?

　He himself was penniless and had nothing worth others' attention.

　"You deleted the photo in your phone, this one."

　Lin Lingniao showed her the photo that Xiao Yi had just sent her, which was the photo of her posing in a middle school pose.

　Seeing this photo, Xiao Yi said, "That's a photo of you practicing, right? Why did you delete it?"

　"Because I'm very shy." Lin Lingniao blushed.

　Seeing Lin Lingniao's expression, Xiao Yi laughed again.

　"why are you laughing?"

　Lin Lingniao asked.

　"I've got a funny idea. If you can get my phone out of my hand, I'll make you delete it."

　Xiao Yi shook the phone in his hand, signaling Lin Lingniao to grab it.

　Lin Lingniao did not rush over to grab the phone, she just looked at Xiao Yi quietly.

　This immediately made Xiao Yi feel a little confused. He said, "Why don't you grab it? If you don't, I will pass this photo of yours down as a family heirloom."

　Volume 1: Chapter 24: Our Essence

　"I feel it's a bit unfair." Lin Lingniao said.

　Xiao Yi asked, "What's unfair?"

　“I answered your question. In return for deleting the photos, you should have respectfully given me your phone so I could delete the photos.

　If you want me to snatch it, then I will get your phone with my own strength, and I don’t need to answer your questions.

　If you want me to answer your question, then you have to agree to one of my requests." Lin Lingniao said.

　"Haha, with your physique, you really think you can snatch it."

　Xiao Yi laughed.

　He looked at Lin Lingniao. Not only was Lin Lingniao a head shorter than him, but his body was also a circle smaller than his. He had far less experience in fighting. It was impossible for him to snatch something from his hand.

　Lin Lingniao ignored Xiao Yi's ridicule and said, "If I snatch it, would you dare to agree to one of my requests?"

　Xiao Yi showed a confident smile and said, "As long as it's not too much to ask, I'll agree to it."

　The moment Xiao Yi finished speaking, Lin Lingniao moved. She pounced towards Xiao Yi with unexpected speed.

　In just a moment, she grabbed Xiao Yi's wrist that was holding the phone, and exerted force with both hands to break Xiao Yi's wrist, trying to make Xiao Yi's five fingers loosen.

　The power is quite strong, much stronger than that of an average girl.

　The grip strength of a person's five fingers is actually closely related to the wrist, which is related to the structure of the human hand. As long as a person's hand is folded inward, the five fingers will not be able to exert force.

　Xiao Yi loosened his five fingers and the phone fell, but before Lin Lingniao could make a move, he moved his other hand and caught the falling phone in the air, holding it tightly in his hand.

　Lin Lingniao immediately let go of Xiao Yi's hand and used both hands to grab Xiao Yi's hand holding the phone.

　But at this time, Xiao Yi also moved. Lin Lingniao let go of his hand, so he used this hand to grab Lin Lingniao's shoulder. When his hand grabbed Lin Lingniao's white shoulder, suddenly, a delicate and slender touch came over him.

　At this moment, Xiao Yi didn't dare to use any force, for fear that the slightest force would break the slender shoulders.

　But you can't catch it without using force.

　At this moment of hesitation, Lin Lingniao's shoulder slipped from Xiao Yi's hand, and she pounced on Xiao Yi and snatched the mobile phone from Xiao Yi's hand.

　"Haha, I got your phone."

　Lin Lingniao held Xiao Yi's cell phone high up with a bright smile on her face.

　She pressed her fingers on the screen of her phone and began to delete the photos that made her embarrassed.

　After deleting the photos, she moved closer to Xiao Yi and held him tightly.

　Xiao Yi's face showed confusion, he didn't understand what Lin Lingniao wanted to do.

　The next moment, Lin Lingniao raised his mobile phone and took a picture.

　"Kacha!"

　The sound of taking a photo was heard, and a photo of Xiao Yi and Lin Lingniao appeared on the phone.

　In the photo, Xiao Yi's face showed confusion, while Lin Lingniao was standing next to him with a smile on her face.

　Lin Lingniao said, "For you."

　Xiao Yi took the phone, glanced at the photos inside, put the phone in his pocket, and said, "You win, what are your demands?"

　"I want you to buy me breakfast every day." Lin Lingniao said.

　"I can't treat you to breakfast every day, but I can treat you to breakfast tomorrow. I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow." Xiao Yi said.

　"How stingy." Lin Lingniao whispered.

　"Then two days, any longer is not enough." Xiao Yi said.

　He is not very wealthy.

　"Then two days." Lin Lingniao said with a smile.

　Xiao Yi turned the topic back to the main topic and asked, "What is that pure and clean light within me?"

　"It's my true self, it's Tathagata." Lin Lingniao said happily.

　"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi asked.

　He didn't understand and felt that what Lin Lingniao said was as good as nothing. He got nothing except the two words "true self" and "Tathagata".

　These two words had no meaning to him. He needed a more detailed explanation, such as what the pure and clean light could do, where it came from, what its characteristics were, whether it would suddenly disappear, etc.

　"All appearances are false. If you see that all appearances are not appearances, then you will see the Tathagata." Lin Lingniao said.

　"What does it mean?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Everything you see on the outside is false and unreal.

　If you can keep your original heart, and not be deceived by these appearances when you see them, and realize that what you see is not the real appearance, then you will find the Tathagata within you, that is, your true self, your true self.

　Now you can do it." Lin Lingniao said.

　"If that is the real me, then who is the me who is talking to you now?" Xiao Yi asked puzzledly.
