I am immortal.

Chapter 55 Only the Way and the Difficulty!

"The lower vehicle method..."

Qi Wuhuo was stunned. Earlier, the old man talked about all kinds of immortals of all ranks, starting from what he knew [only cultivating nature but not fate], extending to many brothers and sisters he had met along the way, and then thinking of the immortals far away from the crane. The many mountain gods in Lianshan, from these familiar characters to Senior Sister Yumiao, and even the realm after Senior Sister Yumiao broke through.

Until the emperors in the sky, the gods, and the Buddhas of the West.

It started calmly, but by the end of the story, it was already majestic and boundless.

But it was only in exchange for a sentence from the old man's mouth, the evaluation of the lower multiplication method.

But those four words had already stirred up countless waves in the heart of the young man.

The old man didn't continue his narration, but sat under the two pine trees, raised his hands and stroked his beard, and just asked with a smile: "Although it is said to be a lower-vehicle method, it can already make the world grow old and I not grow old, and the sun and the moon die and die." I am not dead, I call myself Emperor, Buddha, Heavenly Venerable, and no one can say a word about you, this is the real deal."

"Then Wuhuo thinks, what can be the superior method?"

Qi Wuhuo walked all the way, and what he saw and realized was stirring in his heart. The young Taoist replied:
"Concentrate on one, in order to seek the Dao, no distracting thoughts, no foreign things to contaminate the mind of the Dao."

"Inwardly, one should practice hard so that the true spirit is pure; outwardly, one has seen everything in the world, and will not be attached to everything."

"I also go through calamities and preach, but I don't go through calamities for the sake of realm, and I don't go to preach for the sake of harvesting the luck of heaven and earth."

"There is nothing to do, but nothing to do."

"Do nothing and do nothing, it's just whimsy."

"Treat all things and laws equally, be honest with Tao, and be honest with yourself..."

He slowly expressed the sentiments of the brothers he saw.

The old man seemed a little surprised, and then nodded with a smile and replied: "Yes, your understanding is indeed extraordinary and refined. As a teacher, I thought you couldn't think of this point. What you saw, thought and gained along the way is actually in your mind. To teach you how to practice, if you can say these words yourself, you have obtained my true inheritance."

"Your senior brother Xuandu has walked on this path, and now he has achieved a positive result."

"He is named Miao Le Tianzun, and he is the Great Emperor of Lingguan."

Qi Wuhuo asked: "Teacher, how about this road?"

The old man swept the whisk in his hand, and replied: "For this Taoist, you can prove the Daluo Heavenly Immortal, the Hunyuan Dao Fruit."

"One thought is pure, all worries are clear, the sky is above the sky, and all souls can learn from it."

"The spiritual light is immortal, and a little of its true nature reaches nothingness, shining three thousand."

The old man stroked his beard with a gentle voice, and Qi Wuhuo could no longer understand what he said.

I just feel that the last four-sixteen-character description of [Aura is not extinguished, a little truth, reaches nothingness, and shines three thousand) has an indescribable bearing and calmness, although it is not as complicated and domineering as the Tianxian Zhengguo described earlier. , but even more mysterious, people can't help but yearn for it.

The young Taoist thought about the realm of this senior brother Xuandu, and said:
"Senior Brother Xuandu, is he a superior?"

The old man stroked his beard for a while, then replied:

"Be devout to the Tao, follow my teachings, practice through calamity, do something and do nothing."

"Prove the unity of Yuanyuan."

"Cultivate with the heaven and the earth, breathe out the sun and the moon."

"But it's only moderate."

only moderate...

The young Taoist looked at the old man, clasped his hands and asked:
"Dare to ask the best!"

The old man stroked his beard and said with a gentle smile, "If you want to hear the answer, it's fine. Come here with your ear."

"My disciple, you should know."

Qi Wuhuo stepped forward, and the old man smiled before speaking the first word.

boom! ! !
Unknowingly, a huge gust of wind has hit, and under the pressure of the layers of clouds in the sky, it seems that the vitality has turned into thunder, and it explodes, and rushes away. Similarly, there were black winds and evil clouds that covered the stars and all phenomena in the sky.

But here, there are only two pine trees and a bluestone. The old man is smiling and talking to his youngest disciple, saying something ordinary: "The most superior person is spotless, like a bright moon in the sky, and the three thousand realms are pure."

"Just a little light in the center of the brow can take away the good fortune of the heaven and the earth, and you can learn the truth of yin and yang."

"It can make [being] return to [nothing], and [nothing] return to [being]."

"That's all."

Qi Wuhu said: "What is returned to nothing, what is not returned to being."

These eight characters seem extremely mysterious, but Qi Wuhuo still can't understand them.

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, this is still far away from you, you just need to know."

"However, you know this superior method, and I know it."

"Just don't tell others."

"Speaking of which, what path does Wuhuo want to build?"

Young people are always high-spirited and high-spirited.

It's like the young scholar who studied in a ruined temple when he was young, and talked about the great changes in the world in 500 years in a game of chess.

Just like that young and unruly young sword fairy who held a wooden stick, raised his eyes and said that he wanted to point directly at the Supreme Hunyuan Dao.

At this moment, like them in the past, he also replied naturally: "I want to practice the Supreme Way."

The old man looked at him gently, and said after a long time:

"I really miss you. The old man has heard of you before."

The old man said with a gentle smile, "Of course you are not the first person who has seen these brothers, nor is it the first disciple who is qualified to listen to the old man talk about this Dao of Immortals."

"There is a person who has also seen them and said words similar to yours."

"That child is also a single-minded person who only cultivates the Dao."

Qi Wuhuo asked, "Who is that senior brother?"

The old man stroked his beard and replied gently:

"Tao is a thing, but it is only trance. In trance, there is an image in it, and in a trance, there is something in it."

"Light and dark, there is essence in it, and its essence is very [true], so I give it a Taoist name——"

"Xuanzhen."

Qi Wuhuo asked: "Brother Xuanzhen chose the best way?"

The old man replied: "Yes."

So a lot of curiosity arose in the heart of the young Taoist.

It is the generation of Xuan, and it is true, what kind of expectation.

He was very much looking forward to seeing this senior brother Xuanzhen, he felt that this senior brother could answer his confusion.

The senior brothers he saw before, some were obsessed with fame, some were bound by love. The experiences he saw were changeable and filled his heart, as if something was about to be broken from the bottom of his heart, but For a while, it was not clear enough. After hearing the Dao, it seemed that there was something to gain, but it seemed that there was nothing to gain.

It seemed that he wanted to use these brothers and sisters as a warning, and he seemed to feel that he would concentrate on practicing the Dao, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.

This Xuanzhen should have already accomplished his cultivation.

Like your own future.

He thought so.

With hope and warmth.

With doubts and thoughts about the rest of the brothers.

Take what you see and think along the way.

Until the old man brought him to Xuanzhen.

A dry tomb.

How many jackdaws with dry vines, the cold wind is blowing!
A lingering haze seemed to rise suddenly from the bottom of my heart.

Like a sword, it cut off all the doubts and thoughts in Qi Wuhuo's heart, all his expectations and warmth, those flukes, the vigilance of watching the seniors sinking, a little bit of self-pride, and hearing the truth The joy I felt was completely cut off, and there was nothing left.

The rumbling thunder exploded, the cold wind blew the drizzle on the mountain, startled a few jackdaws, the young Taoist's cloud sleeves were swept by the cold wind, and many images and choices flashed in his eyes——

The obsessive.

Those who can't get what they ask for.

Those who understand but do not escape.

All kinds of pictures, countless possibilities, love and hatred, love and hatred, and nostalgia in the world of mortals, finally turned into a three-foot lonely grave.

See sentient beings, see self, see Dao.

See life and death after hearing the Tao!
The Dao heart that Qi Wuhuo had nurtured along the way seemed to be illuminated by the thunder that split the sky, and became cold and sober. It seemed that the confusion was not worth mentioning, but he felt that the Dao was vast and desolate, and the feeling of loneliness and coldness came across his face. Come on, Qi Wuhuo suddenly remembered the mountain god's complex sigh that contained countless emotions, even though he didn't know the experience of the senior brother in front of him——

On the road of longevity.

Count the corpses!

Fellow Daoist, take care.
