Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 39: This Way Is Not in Heaven and Earth

After returning to his soul, Li Xiuyuan rested for a while, and then moved his blood, and his mood calmed down a little.

"Master, why do I feel that my body is a little abnormal?"

"It's heavy, right?"

The blind Taoist said with a smile on the side: "Teacher, this is a normal phenomenon. The body of the ghost is so light, flying into the sky, escaping the earth, and wandering in the dark, how carefree it is. On the other hand, the physical body is heavy and dirty, like a cage that traps the ghost. Inside, there is no freedom, and the ghost will naturally feel a lot of discomfort when it returns to the body after being out of the body for a long time."

"Just get used to it, after all, the body has to nourish the ghost."

"But why did I condense into one?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Why did it condense into a ghost, right?"

The blind Taoist laughed and said: "You have breathed and breathed all these years is the way of cultivating the Tao. You have already condensed the ghosts, but you don't know it. After more than ten years of cultivation, with your natural aptitude of a saint, even mere ghosts can't condense. , then what else do you cultivate?"

"Okay, so master, you have been lying to me all this time, telling me that you are practicing boy kung fu." Li Xiuyuan suddenly became a little angry.

"Disciple, being a teacher is also for your own good. If you come into contact with female sex early, your energy will be broken, and your cultivation will be affected. At that time, let alone condensing ghosts, whether you can pick up the golden gun that swallows a tiger's mouth will matter." It's hard to say." The blind man said.

After listening to it, Li Xiuyuan nodded and thought it made sense: "Listening to what the master said, it's a white lie."

"My dear disciple, how have you been treated as a teacher all these years?" The blind Taoist asked with a smile on his face, with his palms on his shoulders.

It seemed that he wanted to pretend to be kind, but there was no kindness on that old face, only wretchedness, indescribable wretchedness.

"."

Li Xiuyuan took a slight breath and said, "Master, can you just talk about it? As long as the master doesn't come to borrow the disciple's heart and soul to practice alchemy, you can talk about anything."

"Hey, as a teacher, let's just say it straight."

The blind Taoist laughed and said, "You went to that fairy mountain before, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What good thing happened, if you don't mind, please share it with your teacher?" said the blind man.

"How can there be any good thing? As soon as I arrived at the fairy mountain, a group of cranes flew by, and a lump of bird droppings fell from the sky, almost hitting the disciple's head. Fortunately, I was nimble and narrowly escaped." I avoided it dangerously." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist looked at him in shock, pointing at him with trembling fingers: "You, you have such great luck, great fortune!"

"There's a piece of shit about to fall on my head, master, you actually said it's a good thing?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"What do you know, nothing happened in that fairy mountain, but everything that happens is a chance, the crane is over the head, and a foreign object falls to the ground, this is a big chance." The blind Taoist said.

Li Xiuyuan corrected: "Master, that's not a foreign object, it's a piece of shit."

"What shit, that's the way of heaven. If you are hit by that foreign object, you will be able to pass on the law of ascension to heaven. Don't look at the crane soaring above the nine heavens, looking down on the land of the common people. This is the meaning of a way." Blind Taoist said.

"A piece of shit is also a great way, so I don't want to cultivate it anymore." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist was heartbroken: "If you don't cultivate, then don't cultivate, then what did you see next?"

"I saw a severed tree root with an ax on it and a chessboard next to it," Li Xiuyuan said.

"What, you saw two things?" The blind Taoist was startled again, grabbed his lapel and shouted: "Don't tell me you didn't choose both."

"No, no." Li Xiuyuan said.

"A villain." The blind Taoist beat his chest and howled, those who didn't know thought that Li Xiuyuan had done something outrageous.

"Master, stop shouting. Those two things are not symbols of the Great Dao." Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.

The blind Taoist said: "The big tree has been cut down, and only the ax is left. Isn't the implication obvious? This is the way of longevity."

"Master, why do you understand?"

"Trees have annual rings, one round a year, old and dead. If you cut it halfway, don't you see that the annual rings will no longer grow? This means immortality. If you can pick up the sharp axe, you can pass on the legend of eternal life." Fa, if you succeed in cultivation in the future, you will be able to cut off your own life and death, and keep it in the world forever."

The blind Taoist had a painful expression on his face, clutching his chest, feeling that all his cultivation in this life was in vain.

"What about the chessboard?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

"There are two pieces on the chessboard, one black and one white, which represent yin and yang. The chessboard is heaven and earth, and the chess pieces are yin and yang. This is the way to recreate the universe. If you cultivate this way, the future will be brighter."

Before the blind Taoist finished speaking, he beat his chest and said, "What's the use of saying this, you must have chosen nothing, tell me, what did you choose in the end, you don't learn the law of ascension, you don't learn the law of longevity, If you don’t learn the laws of the universe, the cultivators in this world will just rise to the sky and live forever, if you don’t learn these things, then you won’t have the way to practice.”

"No, master, I was going to choose the sharp ax at the time, but when I glanced away, I saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting on the top of the mountain, so I walked over."

Before he finished speaking, the blind Taoist jumped up suddenly, and his blind eyes seemed to be opened.

"Sitting alone on the top of the mountain? That means that a person is taller than a mountain. This is the road to the mountain? You learned this." The blind Taoist instantly became serious.

"Yes, this is what I learned from cultivating immortals," Li Xiuyuan said.

But before he could finish the word Xiuxian, the blind Taoist covered his mouth.

"This Tao cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. It must not be said, it must not be said, and there will be catastrophe if it is said."

The blind Taoist hissed, seeing that his face seemed extraordinarily serious.

Even a little nervous and scared.

Li Xiuyuan was full of doubts, why can't he talk about the way of cultivating immortals?

The blind Taoist saw Li Xiuyuan's doubts and said: "This way is incomplete, and it is a big taboo. You will know it later. As a teacher, I can only say so much."

"Then can this Renshan Dao still practice?"

"It's okay to practice." The blind Taoist said: "This way is destined for you, and it doesn't matter if you practice it."

"That's good." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

Since it doesn't hurt to practice, that's enough.

As for other things, I will think about it later.

"Disciple, do you know why the teacher took the risk to teach you the way today?" Suddenly, the blind Taoist sighed.

"I don't know."

The blind Taoist said, "Because you met a demon today, and you have a strong demonic aura. Fortunately, you are invulnerable and possess martial arts, otherwise you may be doomed today."

"Today, I met a big worm on the way to Xiahe Village, but I killed it. I wanted to talk to you, Master, because I saw that the big worm's eyes were strange, they were black. Let the apprentice always be curious." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Hey, there is no big worm near Xiahe Village. It was just driven by the big monster from other places. It is used to test your details. Even tigers and other beasts of the sun can be driven. This big monster has a deep way Ah, I'm afraid it has been practiced for thousands of years." said the blind Taoist.

"Thousands of years?"

Li Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The millennium monsters in this world are not radishes and cabbage, they are found everywhere, the millennium monsters are rare, even in the entire Liao Zhai world, there are not many of them.

"There is nothing wrong. At least thousands of years of practice, it seems that the big monster has discovered your specialness, and I am afraid that there will be disaster." The blind Taoist said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Since that's the case, why don't Master join hands with me to destroy that thousand-year-old monster?"

"If you can't succeed in the Great Way of the Mountain, if you can't be destroyed, you will expose your exquisite heart. When the news spreads, it will be even more troublesome. Right now, the big monster hasn't discovered that you have an exquisite heart, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a tiger to test it. If you don’t have a pack of tigers, the pack of wolves won’t give up.”

The blind Taoist said: "Besides, the Taoism and deeds of a teacher are not as good as it, and it is difficult to win a battle with it."

"Well, it's decided. I will set off today to prepare for the teacher and go back to the mountain gate."

"Master, you are too afraid of death, this scares you away." Li Xiuyuan said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to the mountain gate to get the elixir, so that I can take this opportunity to achieve the golden elixir. After the golden elixir is cultivated, I will come quickly and dare to protect you." The blind Taoist said.

"The so-called elixir is made from my bath water as you keep saying?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"That's right, it's the Dan you made out of your bath water."

The corner of the blind man's mouth twitched, and he said through gritted teeth.
