Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Gu Dan silently meditated in the newly purchased Xia Chao courtyard, and realized that the golden elixir of Tao Yun had been completed, and he finally walked towards his own path.

The experience that Zhen Chi gave him about the Daoyun Golden Pill has become of little use since he also achieved the Daoyun Golden Pill. At best, it can only be used as a reference.

After all, the main attack method of Zhen Chi is the formation, and even his own Dao Yun Golden Pill is moving closer to this aspect, and can no longer be measured by ordinary people's Golden Pill.

If the ordinary Qi Hai Ning Ying is roughly equivalent to ordinary mud and water kneaded into a sculpture and completely finalized, then the flawless golden elixir is like a fine product among sculptures. In some aspects, it can correspond to the heaven and earth, and it can be counted as both heaven and earth. Recognize some of the best.

But Daoyun Golden Pill is different.

Strictly speaking, whether Daoyun Golden elixir can be considered as a golden elixir is worthy of consideration. It is like that although martial arts innateness is also related to martial arts, actual practice has little to do with martial arts.

The same is true for Daoyun Golden Pill!

This is an ancient road. The ancient monks in the past can practice to the extreme state by this. It is not wrong to say that they are in the golden elixir in this life, but their golden elixir will change as they advance, echoing , the real one method is practiced until death.

But today, times have changed and things are very different.

The Immortal Way has been developing for so long, and has long since abandoned the complexity of the past. Each realm already has standards that everyone abides by. Although this standard is not necessarily strong, it is the most stable path that countless ancestors have traveled through.

As long as you continue to practice step by step, there will be no problems with longevity. Theoretically speaking, the world of immortality has already planned how to move towards the Nascent Soul. As for the next level, the God-Transforming Heavenly Lord who is almost transcending the world of immortality?

Sorry, that completely involves the laws of heaven and earth. No one can give a 'template' thing. It can no longer be planned based on the experience of predecessors. Everyone has a new and unique path, and at most they are similar. , absolutely not the same!

Looking at it this way, Gu Dan and Zhen Chi are already too far ahead of schedule. They have just obtained the Golden Pill, but they have already begun to think about how to take their own path. After all, the Daoyun Golden Pill is not a fixed formula and will change according to their focus and efforts. After all these changes, it was once a supreme path, and it is not like a Qi Refiner where you cannot practice to the extreme without having innate Qi.

But the problem lies precisely in this.

Since the Daoyun Golden Pill is theoretically endless, how can we break the pill and condense the baby according to the conventional method?

The Daoyun Golden Pill already contains their cultivation and future path in this life. The stronger they are, the stronger the Daoyun Golden Pill will be, which is very different from others.

If there is no end, what is the end?

Trapped in this situation, according to the standard of Jindan, he would have been able to form a baby a hundred years earlier, but now he is still wandering in the Jindan realm, with no way forward.

Gu Dan has experience and knows some clues, but he has not yet found his own path.

He is an immortal.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't get ripped off halfway, there is no end point.

So he has always been very careful, whether in the secular period or in the world of immortality.

It was not until the body of the Great Dao was conceived that it began to walk the world openly and leave its name in the world.

Before this, he had almost never taken the initiative to do anything. Most of the time, the situation pushed him.

Although I have never slacked off in my spiritual practice, I am not like others. Because life is short, you can go on unswervingly if you grasp a direction. If you hesitate even a little, you may fall short.

Now, it's time for him to choose a direction.

This is not an easy task.

At this time, the world of cultivating immortals focused on cultivation itself, while asking the mind and seeking the truth were rarely mentioned.

After all, how many monks can really have the opportunity to seek enlightenment?

The vast majority of monks, including Venerable Yuanying who is already the ruler of the world of immortality, are just below the Tao.

Tell them that if they ask for the Tao, they can ask for it?

Do they have this strength?

Only a few people can stand out. How can they become the choice of the general public?

Therefore, it is not inappropriate for the world of today's immortal cultivators to attach more importance to cultivation than seeking the Tao. It is the most stable and appropriate choice.

It may seem glorious to seekers, but it may not necessarily end well.

For example, Ji Lao has no bones left; such as Zhen Chi, who is trapped in the golden elixir.

Even if you really want to seek enlightenment, you have to think about it after Nascent Soul, right?

If you pursue it in advance, you will most likely make the wrong choice, and may even delay your own cultivation, causing your life to end and your cultivation to stagnate.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yuan Tian Realm was in danger and there were only more than a hundred years left, Gu Dan wouldn't be in a hurry.

But this thing is not something you can just ask for.

When he truly began to understand himself and search up and down, Gu Dan suddenly remembered the last words that Venerable Bailian said before he passed away. Now that he thought about it, he had a different feeling.

'The difficulty is difficult, the way is the most mysterious. Don’t take seeking the Tao lightly. If you don't meet a great person who teaches you the wonderful Dharma, the fruit of the Tao will become empty and turn into smoke. '

People are often in a hurry in this life. Due to various reasons, they always have to look ahead to the future at some point, and then choose the future path when they are young.

Even immortals cannot escape this cage after all.

Gu Dan may be alone, but he is still alone after all.

He has his own friends and his own past. He doesn't think that these things can only be regarded as memories. There is no need to think about them after they have passed.

Especially now that his cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, there is no one around him who can hold a candle and talk at night and have fun over wine.

When you are alive in this world, you should always do something. You cannot be like a rotten tree that decays with the heaven and earth.

Stones can survive hundreds of millions of years safely, but has anyone ever sought to turn them into stones?

Constantly asking yourself is not to fight against yourself, but to find your own pursuit.

This is destined to be a difficult process. It is easy to evaluate others, but people are inevitably biased when they look at themselves. Even if they try their best to be fair and look at things from a perspective beyond themselves, it is always easy to overestimate themselves.

This time, what stopped Gu Dan was no longer a specific realm, but his own heart.

All monks who want to attain enlightenment will inevitably end up like this.

Gu Dan was sitting under the tree in the courtyard. The sun was shining right at this time, the breeze was blowing, and the branches of the leaves were swaying slightly, making a rustling sound. The place became more and more quiet.

His gaze was as deep as an abyss with no bottom, but the aura on his body was erratic, like white clouds in the sky that might ride the wind back at any time. The way forward, the future, practice, oneself. Countless thoughts floated and fell in his mind. In an instant, he seemed to have spent another hundred years. Everything in the past was still vivid in his mind, but in the end it was gone. .

He was left alone in the courtyard, thinking silently.

In the silence, the door was pushed open.

A man walked in and his eyes fell on Gu Dan, who was deep in thought in the courtyard, especially after noticing the erratic aura on Gu Dan's body.

Gu Dan was disturbed by the movement outside, pulled out of his thoughts, and looked at the person.

"It's incredible. It seems that the Changsheng Sect has really accepted an extraordinary genius. He has just been promoted to Jindan, and he has already begun to think about the future."

The visitor looked at Gu Dan, his face was unfamiliar, and he was sure he had never seen him before.

But he seemed to know something about Gu Dan, and his voice was firm when he spoke.

Gu Dan reacted instantly, cupped his fists and saluted, "I've met the sect master."

"No need for too many complicated etiquette."

The leader of the Immortality Sect, Lu Zhiming, waved his hand and came to sit down in front of the stone table. The monk in the late Yuan Ying stage was dignified, but he could not see any posture on his body. He did not show the power of the leader of the Nine Immortal Sects. "How about it? Think about it." Is there any gain?”

"Maybe."

Gu Dan said uncertainly.

Lu Zhiming nodded and said: "It's normal. You are still young. An old guy like me who has lived for a thousand years often feels confused when practicing. He occasionally gains something and feels lost. This is normal. one thing."

"Thank you, Master, for your teaching."

Gu Dan said.

"No, no, no, I'm not teaching you. In fact, I can't even find the way forward for myself, so how can I give guidance to others? If you ask me questions about practice, I can help you. But you ask I am also worried about how I seek the truth and how I obtain it.”

Lu Zhiming didn't show any pretense at all, but he just started talking freely with Gu Dan, "Ordinary people live less than a hundred years in their lives, live in confusion and die in ignorance, and they just walk through the next world.

Regardless of luck or suffering, a hundred years will turn into a handful of loess in a blink of an eye. It doesn't matter even if you don't understand some problems. If you die, it will be settled once and for all. Why must you pursue an answer? "

After a pause, Lu Zhiming continued: "But monks can't. Once monks have mastered power and have a lifespan that is thicker and longer than ordinary people, they can't help but want to explore things they don't understand, and they can't help thinking about the meaning of their own existence.

In the world of immortality cultivation, this process is called asking the mind and seeking the truth.

Everyone will inevitably ask themselves, who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? This answer may not bring you power beyond ordinary people, but it can help you understand yourself better.

I have seen many talented young people, including some who are amazing in the world. Those people shine like meteors and burn out quickly. They rise like the sun rising in the east, and when they set, they return to silence like burned out candles.

Perhaps it is because they burn so fast that they forget what they want to do or what they are pursuing. They just burn regardless of everything, erupting with light and heat that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Youth and vitality come to surprise or frighten the old bones, but they never last long. "

Lu Zhiming looked at Gu Dan and said: "It's a good thing that you can think about yourself. Recognizing yourself is the most difficult thing. Even Master Yuanying, there are many people who don't want to get involved in this matter. If you live for a long time, you will inevitably have many regrets and have done many wrong things. In the end, you have to look back, which is too cruel.

And you have achieved success at a young age, and you can already be called a pillar of talent at a young age. In you, I don't see the self-satisfaction of those young prodigies who are like shooting stars. Instead, you are as deep and reserved as us old guys.

It's not an easy thing to do, and even I don't know if it's a good thing. People should have corresponding changes at each stage and period, rather than remaining static.

When I was young, I lacked the madness and the pride that was as high as the sky. It would be too difficult to have it again in my old age. "

Reaching out and patting Gu Dan's shoulder, Lu Zhiming said: "If you think about this now, it may be too early, and you will suppress your own momentum. Of course, I am not sure, after all, I am just a member of the road. , the realm does not include seeking the Tao, and cultivation does not mean asking the mind. This is ultimately your own business, and other people’s words may not be a guiding light, or a big hole that has been dug.”

As the leader of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Zhiming probably felt a lot of emotion. When he saw Gu Dan's contemplation, he seemed to think of himself. His long speech was not boring, but more like an elder's warning to the younger generation.

It contains only the experience of the world, but no necessary decisions. Everyone has his own way to go, which no one else can help.

He is the leader of the Immortal Sect, and he is also a well-known figure in the world of immortality. If he stomps his feet, the world of immortality may be shaken, but he is just a loser in seeking the truth.

If it can really succeed, why bother to be the leader of the Immortal Sect? Isn’t it good to seek detachment?

The God-Transforming Heavenly Lord understands the way of heaven, but even the top Nascent Soul Master can only wander in the human way, and the two are like a chasm.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your teachings."

After listening carefully, Gu Dan cupped his fists and saluted, and said sincerely: "A friend of mine once said that it is important for people to know themselves, but the most difficult thing is to know themselves. Once you think about it deeply, it is like sinking into the sea and not seeing the sky. day.

The difficulty in questioning one's mind is not in the threshold of practice, but only in oneself. "

"Haha, you are still young and still have a lot of time to think about this."

Lu Zhiming expressed relief, and then said: "However, precisely because you are still young, it is still a bit too early to think about this. It will not be too late to think about this after your cultivation has made no progress like mine." .

At that time, you will have a lot of time to think slowly, there is no need to rush. "

As he spoke, Lu Zhiming took out a rolled picture scroll from his storage bag, placed it on the table in front of him, and said, "I won't say more. You are more calm than I thought." Quite a few. Jianmu is imitated in this scroll, and those who are destined can understand the magical power of Jianmu from it.

However, magical powers are inherently innate and carry the power of heaven and earth. Whether a monk can master it, and how much he can master, mostly depends on whether it is compatible. Pursuing it blindly may not be a good thing, so you need to make your own choices in this regard. "

Bringing the cultivation method of Jianmu's magical power was the reason why he came here.

"I will practice hard and not lose the face of the Changsheng Sect."

For the Changsheng Sect Master whom he met for the first time, Gu Worried still had a good impression and said immediately.

"It doesn't matter, the Changsheng Sect has already made plans to gain nothing, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."

Lu Zhiming smiled and said: "The dignified Changsheng Sect has not yet reached the level where we need to harshly criticize the Jindan junior. We should take a broad view of the scenery." (End of Chapter)
