Start from covering the sky and become invincible

Chapter 97

The forest is lush, and a bluestone path runs through the mountains. This is a very simple environment. Although it is near the Qishi Mansion, there is no purple air steaming up, but a kind of back-to-basics mood.

On the mountain, strips of thin vines wind and coil, entangled with old trees, and there are lakes dotted under the mountain, and there is a taoist temple that looks a bit dilapidated on a small hill in the distance.

"It's here." Zhou Qing stopped in the air.

On that low mountain, there were no green bamboos and cypresses, let alone the elixir Yao grass. It was simple, with a small vegetable patch, but there was nothing special about it.

However, Zhou Qing was very serious. He caught a strange dao mark from that short mountain in an instant. There was a trace of spirituality in that short mountain, and there was a mysterious and profound feeling in his eyes.

A day later, Zhou Qing came to this place again, the difference was that this time there were three people.

"When you see this senior in a while, remember not to lose your manners." Zhou Qing looked at the two of them and warned.

Both of them nodded slightly, with very serious expressions, and they naturally knew the pros and cons of it.

Zhou Qing and others walked along the bluestone road toward the mountains, passed through several hills, and soon arrived at the foot of the short mountain.

"Floating life is like a dream and can be counted, and floating life is even more worrying. No one can do longevity with me, and the spring day in the mountains will sing..."

A chant was uploaded from that mountain, revealing a kind of indifferent and carefree artistic conception.

Zhou Qing and the others stepped up, boarded the low mountain, and saw this small Taoist temple.

Although this small Taoist temple is a bit low, like a thatched cottage, it is very tidy, and it can be seen that someone should clean it from time to time.

In front of the small Taoist temple, there is an ancient pine tree with a hollow trunk that many people cannot hug. The branches are vigorous and the leaves are green, as if full of vitality.

But Zhou Qing could tell that this was just being forced to continue his life. Once this person stopped doing this, he would wither within two or three years.

There are no medicinal fields here, only a ridge of vegetable fields, in which more than a dozen green vegetables are planted, all growing well and as green as jasper.

In addition, there is a rack of grapes, with two or three bunches of purple grapes hanging from emerald-green vines, each one looking like purple agate.

"come in."

As soon as Zhou Qing and the others walked to the door, they heard a voice, which seemed to ring in their ears.

The three looked at each other, and finally walked in at the same time.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qing saw a person sitting cross-legged in the Taoist temple, looking at them with a smile on his face.

His body was thin and short, he was wearing an old Taoist robe, a wooden hairpin was inserted in his hair, his face was wrinkled, and his blood was withered. He was so old, but Zhou Qing and the others did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

"Senior." Zhou Qing was the first among the three to speak, breaking the calm.

The old Taoist smiled and shook his head, as if he hadn't moved much, but three futons appeared in front of the three of them.

So the three of them sat on it and faced the old Taoist face to face.

The old Taoist seemed to have been sitting cross-legged for a long time, and seemed to have counted the arrival of Zhou Qing and others in advance.

"The law, the law, and the essence are ineffective, and they are empty, empty, and not empty. Silence, noise, speech, and silence are the same. Dreams are never mentioned in dreams. There is no use in usefulness, and power is exerted in useless power. If it is ripe, it will naturally turn red. Don't ask how to cultivate seeds. "

The old Taoist wore an old Taoist robe, recited a passage, and said it to the three of them.

Zhou Qing's expression immediately changed. It's not that he didn't understand. On the contrary, with his enlightenment, he immediately understood what the old Taoist meant.

"Dharma and law can't be done, and emptiness and emptiness are not empty." This is discussing the law and emptiness.

"Quietness, noise, speech and silence are originally the same. How can we say dreams in dreams." There is no difference between silence and noise, speech and silence. Life is originally a dream, so why should we say that life is like a dream?
"Useful and useless, and useless merit." The so-called "useful" and "meritorious merit" in the world actually come from "useless" and "reactive", and finally return to "useless" And "reactive".

"If it ripens, it will naturally turn red. Don't ask how to cultivate the seeds." Just like the growing fruit, it will naturally turn red when ripe. There is no need to worry about how it grows or how it turns red.

"Alas." Zhou Qing sighed, the old Taoist's meaning was very clear.

Our life is nothing more than a flower on a branch.When spring comes, it will open up naturally, but it will eventually fall.Everything is just born as the times require, just as it happens.His life was already complete enough that there was no need to extend it any longer.

"Senior, the road to immortality is about to begin in this life. Don't you want to take a look?" Zhou Qing said again.

The old Taoist shook his head and said: "The world has changed into mulberry fields several times. Although the mulberry fields have changed into Danqing, who will be immortal with Danqing?"

"The ancestors of the Cai clan are still alive. In a few years, the Huaxian Pond will come into the world on its own. The ten-mile moat of 'immortals can't cross' will also be weakened. Isn't the senior going to go in and have a look, so as to save the descendants of the Cai clan from trouble? "Zhou Qing persuaded again.

The old Taoist sighed, feeling very sad, and said: "There is nothing in this world that makes me feel sad. The gains and losses of people are not delayed. It is a good time to drink in the hall at home. It has been 8000 years since I looked back..."

"Come without trace, go without trace, go and come together. Why bother to ask about floating life, only this floating life is in a dream..."

Zhou Qing's head was full of black lines, and he said: "Senior, can you say something normal."

The old Taoist smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, Emperor Qing will make a move."

"Pfft." A laugh came from one of the futons as if it couldn't be held back.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qing looked at Xiaoyu with an ugly expression on his face.

"It's nothing, I just laughed so hard, hahaha, it's nothing." Xiaoyu's pretty face was flushed, and although she covered her mouth, she couldn't stop the smile from the corners of her eyes.

"Little friend, you should have obtained the Military Secret, right?" The old Taoist smiled and began to speak normally.

"Is the stone wall of Qinmen really carved by the senior?" Zhou Qing asked.

The old Taoist nodded, and continued: "Since you were able to find this place, it is because of a predestined relationship between us."

After saying that, a mark of Tao appeared between his eyebrows, and three rays of divine light flew out from it and shot into the minds of the three people.

"In the last few years of my life, it is also a blessing to see my human race and such arrogance like you. They are all small insights into military secrets. They would have been buried with me, but I couldn't bear it. Pass it on to you now, don't fall into the prestige of Bing Zi Mi." The old Taoist said.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and the three of them returned to the door of the Taoist temple in an instant.

"Ah." Zhou Qing sighed, regretting that he couldn't be persuaded, so he had to leave.

With the departure of the three, the small Taoist temple became deserted again, and basically no one would come here.

It seemed that nothing had changed in Zhou Qing. The small Taoist temple was still in its previous state. It was just that next to the vegetable field, there were a few more ancient medicinal plants with a hazy fragrance and crystal clear petals. They were extraordinary at first sight.

The old Taoist still sat cross-legged in the Taoist temple, motionless, and softly chanted: "The sea is dusty for tens of thousands of autumns, Taoism turns into yellow hair and lives in sorrow, and a dream lasts for thousands of years. Where can you travel on the rough road..."

He raised one arm and swiped it lightly, as if crossing an endless star field, or crossing eternity, overflowing with strands of eternal celestial brilliance.

Those astonishing ancient medicines suddenly became ordinary, their appearance changed, all the glow stopped flowing, and from the surface, they were no different from the green vegetables next to them.
