Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 196 Two Sentences

It is said that Su Yi's entry into samadhi did not last long because the "Dharma" taught to him by Master Shen Mo was extremely mysterious and could not be understood successfully in a short period of time. It required continuous study in the future.

At this time, he was sitting on Master Shen Mo's flying boat, and Master Shen Mo obviously had other things to explain, so this was not a good time to delve into Taoism.

After Su Yi woke up, he found that he had come to the edge of the fifth layer of the Heizhang Mountains. He saw that there were many layers of monsters in the dense forest below.

Su Yi glanced down and then looked away. He knew without asking that the so-called "catastrophe" had begun. It seemed that the outside world had changed a lot in the past three years.

However, it was obvious that this was not the time to explore the "Great Tribulation". He first bowed and thanked Master Shen Mo for his kindness in teaching the Dharma, and then asked tentatively:
"Sir, have you already left here and embarked on the journey to find the passage to ascension?"

Shen Mo nodded after hearing this, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Originally, I asked you to go down to the void realm for two purposes. One is to force you to build a foundation, so that you can not only experience what it is like to build a foundation, but also have more power to protect yourself."

"I also want to borrow your eyes to see if the Qinglong, who has escaped for many years, is hiding in this ethereal realm."

At this time, Su Yi no longer had any taboos, and he asked many questions directly, "Sir, could it be that the reason why Gourd knew that breaking through could leave the void realm was because of your arrangement or prompting?"

Shen Mo listened and smiled and said: "That's not the case. I have never been in contact with that gourd before, but I know that the gourd is tricky. It even stayed in the hands of Qinglong for a while, and Qinglong and Nine-Tails are just gourds." They are just two treasure masters for the time being."

Su Yi didn't expect that the gourd spirit treasure was still in the hands of Donghai Qinglong. It seemed that his boast that he had followed many powerful people was not false.

Thinking of Calabash Lingbao, Su Yi suddenly thought of his apprentice Bai Lan who had lost news with Calabash. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. He didn't know what happened to them now or where they were.
Shen Mo saw what Su Yi was thinking and said: "I think Bai Lanqiang is not a short-lived person, and with the Eight Desolations Mysterious Fire Token in hand, he can be safe, so you don't have to worry too much."

Su Yi heard what the master said was reasonable, and then he temporarily relaxed his mind, "Su Yi's indecisiveness makes sir laugh."

Shen Mo looked at Su Yi and said slowly: "Su Yi, I am about to leave now, and I have two words to say to you."

Su Yi immediately listened respectfully after hearing this.

"This first sentence is God's way."

"This second sentence is man's fault."

Su Yi couldn't clearly tell what these two sentences meant. When he was about to ask in detail, he heard Master Shen Mo say.

"These two sentences were given to me by Donghai Qinglong. At that time, he did not explain them to me, but just let me think about them alone."

"I have thought about it for so many years and figured out a little bit of its meaning. If you want to hear it, I can tell it to you."

Su Yi immediately saluted, "I would like to listen to your teachings, sir."

Shen Mo motioned Su Yi to sit down, and then continued: "First of all, the first sentence "Heaven has a way" probably refers to the rules of heaven, and everything under the way of heaven must operate and develop according to this rule. It can be said that Those who obey it will prosper, and those who touch it will perish." "Similarly, this sentence can also be understood in reverse. It means that God has a way and is ruthless. If there is no emotion, there will be no emotion. He will not be kind to you by obeying him. You will not be punished for speaking rudely."

Su Yi didn't expect that the three words "Heaven has a way" actually made Master understand so many meanings. He was really fascinated by it, and his admiration for Master became much deeper.

Shen Mo continued to explain the second sentence, "This second sentence is much more mysterious than human beings. I have been studying it for many years, but I can only understand some simple meanings, that is, people must act according to the way of heaven, but they cannot It’s absolutely like the way of heaven.”

"In a word, it is a conclusion that people have feelings, so it is okay to act according to people's feelings. In other words, it is more personal to act according to people's feelings. This is the so-called human nature."

Su Yi was really mesmerized by these words of the master. Although he could not understand many of them for a while, these words always left a deep impression in his heart and would give him more reference for future actions. basis.

"Su Yi would like to thank you again for your teachings. Su Yi will definitely bear in mind what you said today."

Shen Mo smiled and said: "Su Yi, you are serious. These are just my simple opinions on the two sentences. I'm not sure whether they are correct or not. Moreover, these are just my opinions. You can use them as a reference and follow up later. As your cultivation improves, you will also have your own opinions on these two sentences, and you will just need to confirm each other."

The two masters and apprentices chatted some more. At this time, Su Yi suddenly remembered that the master had mentioned before using his own eyes to see if the green dragon of the East China Sea was within the realm of the void here, and asked:
"Sir, could it be that Donghai Qinglong also went to the Void Realm? Unfortunately, Su Yi's Taoism is low and he didn't explore much after entering the Void Realm, so he never saw senior Donghai Qinglong."

After hearing this, Shen Mo replied: "I can't blame you for this. I just blame me for not making it clear to you in advance, so you misunderstood."

"Another one is that even I can't be sure where Qinglong has gone. The Void Realm here is just a guess. I haven't seen that he is really here."

Seeing that Su Yi seemed to be interested in the Qinglong matter, Shen Mo said more.

"Qinglong made a decision before me to find the ascension passage. In fact, not only Qinglong, but Suzaku, who I mentioned to you before, also went to find the ascension passage a long time ago. As for the white tiger, I came from the land of the Western Regions. After returning, I haven’t had contact with him for many years, but I don’t know how he is doing.”

The Four Saints had been in contact before, which was not beyond Su Yi's expectation. After all, they only had so few people at this stage, so how could they not know each other.

As for Su Yi, he has now joined the Heavenly Demon Palace, but to be honest, his cultivation level is still too low, and he can barely be regarded as a candidate.

When his cultivation becomes high enough to arouse the fear of the Emperor of Zhongzhou, then he may be able to call himself a formal member of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Of course, Su Yi is not interested in fighting for fame and fortune. From the beginning until now, all he wants to do is to devote himself to cultivation, so that one day he can aspire to the crown of immortality. This is his wish.

Of course, his wish does not conflict with the purpose of the Heavenly Demon Palace, because to put it bluntly, the Heavenly Demon Palace ultimately wants to find the passage to ascension.

Ascension is a necessary step towards immortality. We have not heard of anyone with immortality in this world. If you want to live forever, you must ascend to the upper world.

As for where the upper world is, Su Yi actually doesn't know. In his mind, maybe it is a higher-dimensional world, but these are just his conjectures. Only if he is destined to go to the upper world can these be confirmed. .

But before that, we must first find the ascension passage, otherwise everything will be a fantasy.
