Wandao long distance

Chapter 514 The Pursuit of Taoism

Needless to say, what I saw and heard along the way.

Whether it's the various poisonous insects, miasma, spirits, and spiritual grasses spawned by the powerful source of heaven and earth in Wushen Mountain, or the villagers living in it, they all live in their own way as always.

However, among them, Lingshan Lingquan, Li Qi would pick one or two when he was on his way, mainly to catch some fish and get some herbs to enhance the fun of the journey.

If you have to hurry, let Shen Shuibi drive directly to the outside world, and you will arrive in a short while. Going out on the road is just to relax.

The fish raised in the Lingquan were delicious, but Li Qi was scolded for lighting a fire on the old horse's back.

If you scold, just scold, anyway, the old horse himself didn't eat less.

When I came to Liesu, I asked Yuren to turn on the switch skillfully, completed the questions and tasks of Liesu, and then obtained the qualification to use it, and came to the edge of Baiyue in a blink of an eye.

When they came to the edge of Baiyue, both of them had terminals, so they could easily obtain the basic entry permit of the cardinals of all worlds, which is not a problem.

It's just that Humanity has traffic control, so you can't let the old horse fly casually at this time. Everyone landed, laughing and joking in the bustling street city, buying local snacks, and admiring the bustling night scene of Humanity.

I have to say that humane snacks are quite delicious, and they will really enjoy them.

Cars drink embroidered hubs, the moon shines on the towers, and a large shopping mall just opened above the sky. I saw thousands of golden lotuses scattered towards Tianjie, and the lanterns were lit up. Tens of thousands of petals bloomed together. They gathered like fireflies and scattered like stars. There are singing and singing, singing and dancing, and singing and singing.

After staying in Humanity for one night, they boarded the underground train the next day, and quickly arrived at the local Jintai under the rumbling sound.

Take the ride, Jintai, and with another swoosh, you will arrive at the northeast border of Human Dao and Dao Sect in an instant.

Belonging to Taoism, the northeast of the world is a peninsula and archipelago.

The land in the northeast is the junction of the north and the east. As we all know, the east is the East China Sea, and the north is the ice sheet, so the northeast is a group of cold islands. Of course, this is the basic climate.

In fact, it doesn't matter what temperature the Daoist wants this place to be.

In this northeastern land, there are large and small peninsulas and islands.

Also commonly known as, Three Islands and Ten Continents.

As for the top ten caves and the 72 small caves, they are widely distributed throughout the world, not necessarily in the northeast.

The Northeast is just the foundation of Taoist orthodoxy. Since ancient times, Taoism has not forced anyone to stay in one place.

That would violate the meaning of freedom.

Freedom, in essence, is the ultimate pursuit of Taoism. This is a conclusion Li Qi has drawn from Shen Shuibi and Luofu Mountain exercises during this period of time.

What is happiness?

Follow your heart, be unrestrained, and do whatever you want. This is the long-cherished wish of Taoist practitioners, and also their ultimate goal. The ultimate goal of the entire Daoist system is similar to the human way of replacing heaven with humans, and the absolute nature of witchcraft. Same.

Not to be coerced by desires, not to be bound by vision, not to be obscured by demonic thoughts, not to be restricted by physics, not to be controlled by life and death, everything can be unrestricted.

What they want is the eternal life of the individual and eternal freedom.

Immortality here does not mean living for a long time, but absolute 'immortality', or in other words, when one wants to die, one will die, and when one wants to live, one can live again, and cannot be destroyed by any means.

I can't even seal it, my heart is free, and my body is naturally free.

Eternal, unrestrained, free to do whatever you want, this is the pursuit of all "immortals", just like what Shen Shuibi has shown, Shen Shuibi doesn't care about the life and death of strangers, because it doesn't matter to her at all .

She just wants to guard the people around her, that's all.

But this does not mean that those true immortals are all self-centered, cruel and heartless demons.

Because the difference between immortals and devils is that they pursue freedom and do not take pleasure in the suffering of the weak. It can even be said that they have truly achieved it, taking the boundaries of the weak as their own boundaries, and forming an organic world together with all things. overall.

"Qiwu Lun" says: "Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me." I am not nobler than all things, but all things are trapped in shackles, but I have jumped out of the cage to truly experience these situations.

Moreover, the true carefreeness also includes controlling one's emotions, not letting the emotions of the world disturb one's free and pure state of mind, and maintaining one's natural nature from beginning to end. They are all barriers that bind and enslave people.

To truly transcend everything, beyond physical constraints, beyond spiritual constraints, beyond the constraints of life and death, beyond the shackles of cause and effect in the world, and finally reach the unfettered absolute place, that is "Xiaoyao".

And practice, accumulating cultivation bases, and cultivating xinxing are all to achieve the ultimate "freedom", because you can't just do it out of thin air, cultivation base is the foundation for you to realize all these, so Taoism has created many cultivation methods and techniques To help yourself gradually move closer to this goal.

Of course, this is only the goal of the Hermit School. After all, the Taoist practitioners that Li Qi has come into contact with are basically from the Hermit School, and there is actually a Xianshi School in the Taoist School.

Regarding the Xianshi sect, Li Qi basically has no contact with it. He only knows that the Xianshi sect has a close cooperation with humanity, and even many Taoist priests come and go to the houses of princes and princes. identity.

Presumably the two sides must have common interests, otherwise it would never be the case.

But the Xianshi sect is just a branch. The Dao ancestor of Taoism is the hermit sect, so naturally most of them are actually the hermit sect, including the three islands and ten continents, especially Penglai, which is the holy place of Taoism, is the core of the hermit sect.

Although there is no means of support within the hermit sect.

Everyone is together for the sake of happiness, and each has a little bit of sect or personal friendship. In fact, it is impossible to form an effective and complete group.

The ability of humanity brings everyone's strength together, and the loose organization of Taoism is played by everyone, and no one interferes with others.

Cong Long flew across the sky, and Li Qi looked at the sea below.

Countless islands, literally countless.

Here, practitioners seem to take islands as their territory, and it just so happens that for practitioners of fifth and sixth grades, it is not difficult to build islands out of thin air, so there are many, many, many islands.

However, the world is too big, and this sea area is also very large, and it is still controlled within a certain range. It can be seen that these are still islands, separated by more than tens of miles of sea area, rather than a contiguous continent .

Although it is tens of miles, it is basically face-to-face for practitioners, but it is still very far away.

Li Qi looked around, he hadn't been to the Northeast Islands yet, so he should take a good look at the scenery.

The island is long and long, with a wide view and a distant view, overlooking the darkness, full of rare treasures and beauty, with strange gaps filling the path.

The wind and the cloud are changing, the flood trees are bent, the osmanthus bushes are thick, the qiongzhi resists the stems everywhere, and the coral is luxuriant.

A large number of coral reefs spread near these fairy islands, among which there are many goblins and more sea animals. It feels like "the island is steamed by clouds and the sea, and the haze meets the jungle".

However, Li Qi could also see that there were hardly any cities, settlements and other places in the surrounding area. Some of them were just fairy mountains. In the fairy mountains, Taoist temples were occasionally seen, Taoists were rarely seen, and there were few people.

It seems that without practice, one is not worthy of appearing in this place.

"Yu, why are there no mortals? How did you manage to recruit disciples and inherit them? It's impossible to go outside the territory, right? People in the world are inherently stronger than those outside the territory. It's not worthwhile to recruit disciples outside the territory." Li Qi was curious. asked Shen Shuibi beside him.

Why do mortals still have to reproduce in the world?
It is because, the stronger the world, the more talented the people living in it will be.

People in the Ninth Rank world, wanting to be Ninth Rank is extremely difficult, and to become Ninth Rank, that is the top existence in the world, domineering for a lifetime, martial arts supreme, one out of hundreds of millions of people.

But for people in the first-rank world, it is much easier to become ninth-rank.

As for the world, it is a world that is more powerful than the first-rank world. For people born in the world, the ninth-rank is about one-thousandth of the level. Compared with it, the gap is huge, a gap of several million times.

Except for Baiyue, the place in Baiyue can reach one ten-thousandth or more, because this is where the Dao struggle is, but even in Baiyue, it can still reach hundreds of thousands of times.

Therefore, it would be really unwise to leave these natives in the world and go to other regions to find disciples.

It is not that there are no people outside the territory. Those sporadic geniuses who break through the shackles of the world are indeed no worse than the people in the world. After all, where the base is, what is a few hundred millionths?Even if there is one out of trillions of billions, there will be countless others out of the territory, and some super geniuses will always be born among them.

And practice does not always depend on talent, way of thinking, also known as xinxing and intelligence level, is more worthy of attention, so the major Taoism does not always choose people from all over the world.

But the top geniuses born outside the entire territory are probably on par with the world itself. Giving up the world is equivalent to abandoning nearly half of the available talents.

But Shen Shuibi shook his head, and said calmly: "I don't know, I have never been to Penglai, in fact, we have no contact at all, we are complete strangers."

Well, the hermit is like that.

The sound of chickens and dogs is heard from each other, and old age and death do not communicate with each other.

"That's really strange, but it's normal to have some things you don't understand when you're new here. If you go to Penglai, you will know everything yourself." Li Qi nodded.

It doesn't have to be known now, the place he is going to is Penglai, and Penglai can definitely get in touch with more things.

The old horse continued to cruise, speeding past the countless islands below.

Huliang is not far away, about two days away, close your eyes and take a nap.

As one of the 'three islands', Huliang undertakes the traffic function and is also a gathering place.

There is a saying in the book: "In the past, the square pots were used to play games, and the immortals followed each other. They rode on a crane and did not have two mallards. They went to and from Yuanqiao and still square pots."

This is what describes the grand scene of Huliang, and it is also a rare market place in Taoism. The so-called square pot is Huliang, also known as the abbot.

After all, everyone is human. Although most of them are squatting in a dead house like Shen Shuibi, they still have basic trading needs. When there are too many people coming and going, it becomes like this. In the end, they even built teleportation points in Here it is.

Not long after, the two finally arrived at Huliang together.

Here, one can finally see part of the production capacity of Daomen.

The first thing that catches the eye is the erected peaks. The Taoist sect seems to like living in the mountains, but it is not without buildings.

The mountains are in the midst of emptiness, and the pavilions are exquisite and cloudy, but the world around them has become more 'clear'.

The swallows startled the butterflies, the white cranes danced, the clouds gathered and turned, and the phoenix danced to fly.

Countless small boats approach the Huliang from the sea, and the Huxuanxian Island is like a boat swallowed by clouds and mist, and countless boats are like Baptist Palace.

There are also many flying magic weapons or mounts. For example, Li Qi and the others can see many Feilai peaks floating in the sky, and floating mountains are suspended in midair.

There are gold belts hanging from the treasure book case, and a chain of jade locks on the crimson bag. I saw countless gold belts slowly falling from the fairy mountain to the bottom. Countless runes were written on them, each with its own magic. There are jade locks on the Feilai peaks. Linked together, the jade chains bound Feilaifeng together so that they would not fly too far apart.

The precious light is shining, the five colors are dense, the pearls and emeralds are beautiful, majestic and majestic, the weather is majestic, shining across the sky, and the golden powder is shining, gorgeous for two hundred miles.

As he approached again, the celestial music resounded in mid-air, and the fragrance was strong. It seemed to be the smell of pills, and not just one or two pills. There seemed to be a lot of pills and herbs here, and the smell from them was refreshing.

Continue to approach, really close to the place where the Huliang is, the golden bell and the dawn bell, thousands of households are juxtaposed, the jade-stairs fairy battle, sitting on a thousand palaces, the brocade is beautiful, the feathers are flying, the purple air is refreshing, staring at the white clouds, all kinds of fairy beasts The ground is full of favors, and there are many Taoist practitioners walking and running here.

They didn't seem busy, but sat leisurely about their own affairs, even those Taoist boys, time seemed to slow down here, and the reality became more vivid here.

The biggest feature is that everything becomes very clear, like a filter in a movie, the mountains are more towering, the water is clearer, the sky is bluer, and it seems that even the rolling sea of ​​clouds is more vivid. energetic.

The flutes and drums soar into the sky, the smoke and clouds meet, the stars are dazzling, the lamps and candles are dim, the wind and the clouds, thousands of households, the nine pillars on the buildings, the peak of Lingshou in the east, the jade bed in the shade of the moon, the ridge of the canopy in the west, and the golden bamboo. , Vigorous anti-dew.

The human character is harmonious, the green Luo is hidden, the dome is covered with purple, and the beauty of immortality is the most.

The old horse looks mighty and extraordinary when he goes out, but when he comes here, he really looks like a little loach, as if a passer-by buying buns has entered a big scene in a movie.

"This is really... cool, I really didn't know, it turns out that Taoist people like this kind of ostentation." Li Qi sighed.

If these are visions or illusions, that's fine. Li Qi has seen even cooler illusions, after all, that's what he does.

But the scariest thing is, all of these!It's all true!

Less than three ranks, this scene cannot be arranged!
