Chapter 29: Practice

When Daji woke up, I was still in the same position as last night. The gods don't get tired from keeping the same movements for a long time, and they don't need much sleep. In fact, immortals can stand in one place like a stone forever, but no gods have ever tried to do so.

Many immortals are choosing work and rest according to day and night, which is just a habit, not a necessity.

Daji's face was a little blushing, and he asked, "Your Excellency has been sitting here all night?"

I nodded and said, "Well, I didn't have anything else to do, so I just watched the scenery all night." ”

Daji blushed and smiled, "I'll go prepare breakfast." ”

I grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile: "No, I just saw Mrs. Wen passing by downstairs and asked her to prepare some food for me to fetch." ”

With that, I waved my sleeve, put my hand flat in the air, and with a slight lift, a food box flew from the door of Wenchong's soup shop to the table on the top of the building.

Wenzhong's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a bit of Tao Zhugong's second posture, but he has always kept this small soup shop, which is the first business he and his wife have in the underworld. Many imps who admired him came to drink soup every once in a while.

At this moment, I was very surprised to see the food box flying flat on the ground.

Mrs. Wenzhong's voice came from downstairs: "Don't look at it, this is the immortal method of Jiuyan Jun!"

Then the demons fell silent.

As if smelling the food, the little fox appeared out of nowhere, jumped into Daji's arms and lay on his stomach, his eyes staring at the food box.

Daji laughed and said, "You little fellow, why are you more like a dog than a fox?"

The little fox shook his head, indicating that he was a fox, not a dog!

Daji is very worried about the little fox now, the life span of the fox is not that long, the little fox is actually an old fox, and Daji is a little reluctant to the little fox.

I'm a little reluctant to give it too, this little thing is really cute. Before it, the loveliest thing that Yan Jun saw was Nezha, but Nezha hadn't been to the underworld for a long time, and he was transferred to take charge of some of the heavenly soldiers, and he was very busy.

From birth to death, from death to life, it cannot be swayed by the will of any living being. The only one who can jump into the cycle of life and death is the Immortal, only the Da Luo Jin Immortal.

I looked in the direction of Yan Jun Village and said to Daji: "The small building built for you and Yu Ji in Yan Jun Village has already started, if you have time, you can go over and have a look, if you are not satisfied, ask Fan Zeng to make another revision." ”

Daji nodded and said, "Well, I'll pick a time to see it, is Yan Jun going to Yan Jun's Hall to be on duty today?"

I thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Go and see Liu Bang and see how his first night in the underworld was." ”

Daji also smiled, just like the peach blossoms in March in the world, beautiful and comfortable.

Liu Bang was still in his homestead, his hands spread out, lying on the ground, chewing on a branch from nowhere, and whistling out of tune.

The sky is the quilt, and the earth is the bed. He's a little more chic than us immortals!

The Yama monarchs all came to his home, where they had nothing, and looked at him like monkeys.

He didn't feel embarrassed, he got up from the ground and said hello: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's early!

The corners of the dick's mouth twitched...

Liu Bang's sentence was really unexpected by him, and everyone seemed to be very familiar with it.

I smiled and said, "Eat, eat, have you eaten?"

Liu Bang smiled and said, "Not yet, I don't know what is delicious in the underworld? Which Yan Jun will show the way and have a few drinks together?"

Lao Qi said: "Let's go, I'll take you there, you have a treat." ”

Liu Bang walked with Lao Qi very happily, looking at the direction, it was Meng Po's soup shop in Naihe Bridge.

The sixth saw the two of them walking away and asked, "Do you still have to guard the Yan Jun Palace today?"

We all looked at Yi Zhi, who was quite helpless and said, "It's nothing......"

Yi Zhi looked at the open space in front of him helplessly, I patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Yan Jun just doesn't look out of tune, in fact, it's still very reliable!"

Yi Zhi slowly turned his head and looked at me.

I hurriedly tried to escape, and when I reappeared, I was already on top of a dirt mountain.

This is a mountain that was piled up when the underworld project was launched, and it was not too high, only a few tens of zhang.

A roc roc roams in the air, its wings covering the sky and the sun, and the wind rises suddenly when it fanning.

I smiled and said, "Zhuang Zhou, are you transfiguring again?"

The Roc gradually fell, and when it fell to the ground, it had re-transformed into Zhuangzi.

"Why did Yan Jun have time to come here today?"

I was embarrassed to say that I had escaped here, so I said, "There is nothing important today, come here to discuss with Zhuang Zhou!"

Zhuangzi said with a smile: "I heard Dao Ancestor talk about Yan Jun, Dao Jiu Yan Jun has the true inheritance of three Dao Ancestors, and he has the potential to become a family of his own, and I am fortunate to discuss with Yan Jun, and I am fortunate to have three lives!"

I waved my hand and said, "Dao Ancestor has already said, I just followed Dao Ancestor to practice, and I have heard the sermon in the other two Dao Ancestor Palaces. ”

and Zhuangzi sat on the ground and bowed to each other.

Zhuangzi said: "Can Yan Jun know what is boundless?"

I said, "Exhaustive research is endless, there is a head but no tail, this is endless." ”

Zhuangzi asked again: "In the immortals, gods and ghosts, what is boundless?"

I said: "Immortality and long-term vision, not into reincarnation, heaven and earth collapse and I am not destroyed, the truth is destroyed and I am not damaged, this is Da Luo, Da Luo is endless." ”

Zhuangzi smiled: "Yan Jun is talking about the immortal way, but I have other thoughts. ”

I asked, "What is Zhuangzi's high theory?"

Zhuangzi said: "I once dreamed of a butterfly, and now I wake up to Peng, I dream of butterflies, butterflies dream of me, I turn Peng, Peng turns me." Heaven and earth are easier, the truth changes, I am also me, I am not me, this is endless. ”

I smiled and said, "I'm still me, I'm not me." One life is two, two is three, three is endless, Zhuang Zhou is endless!"

Zhuangzi smiled humbly.

I asked him, "When you were on earth, you took a wife, and she died before you, but you played the drum and sang. Let me ask you, what is the love word?"

Zhuangzi said: "Love is lust and not desire, and it is infatuation and not infatuation." Love is practice. ”

I was surprised, "What's the explanation?"

Zhuangzi said: "People are born of lust because of desire, and lust is faint because of affection." Love because of infatuation, forgetfulness because of infatuation. Those who have love return to humanity, and those who forget love enter the immortal road, a love word is so changeable and inexplicable, isn't it a practice?"

I shook my head and said, "Your explanation is difficult, so let's count you as passing." Let me ask you again, what is the Immortal Dao?"

Zhuangzi shook his head and said, "Don't dare to talk about the Immortal Dao in front of Yan Jun." ”

I smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?

Zhuangzi said: "It is really shallow, and it is difficult to have a high theory." Why don't you talk about yin and yang?"

I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's talk about yin and yang." ”

Zhuangzi pointed to the heavenly realm and the human world, and said, "Yan Jun, dare to ask the yin of the heavenly realm?"

I was stunned for a long time before I said, "What a Zhuang Zhou, come and set my words!"

Zhuangzi smiled but said nothing, and said goodbye to me. After taking a few steps, he turned into a roc and left.

I looked at the heavenly realm, thinking about the yin of the heavenly realm that Zhuangzi asked. Indeed, the yin and yang of everything are opposite, the world is yang, and the earth is yin. The heavenly realm is yang, where is the yin in the heavenly realm? This is a trace of secrecy that can only be realized by the heavenly immortals and above, and it is really difficult to reveal it to Zhuangzi.

The truth of this heaven and earth is simple, it is really simple, it is complicated, and it is extremely complicated. Many truths and secrets need to be understood, and when the cultivation and realm are reached, they will naturally be known, and if the cultivation and the realm are not reached, they still don't know if they know it.

Zhuangzi's explanation of love made me feel a little, love is practice, and this is the first time I have heard this. When I heard Zhuangzi mention the teacher, I remembered that I hadn't visited the teacher for a long time. I heard that the teacher's disciple Xuandu has already left the school and traveled around the heavenly realm, but the emperor did not arrest him to work, because Xuandu has traveled for the first time since he went to the heavenly realm, and it is always difficult to catch a heavenly immortal who doesn't even know the road to do the errand.

The shepherd boy and the medicine boy should be very envious of Xuandu, they have followed the teacher for a long time, but they are only in the realm of earth immortals. Every day the cattle are herded and the fire is made, and there is never a day of idleness. Although he was occasionally lazy, he was never absent when the teacher needed him.

The world now highly respects Huang Lao's learning, and I wonder if the teacher will feel gratified. After thinking about the teacher's cultivation realm, I'm afraid it won't. At the point where the teacher is at the point, what do you really care about? It's just a matter of going with the flow.

People can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will return. A long time ago, when I was a man, there was a time to calm down, but after becoming an immortal, there were few quiet days, and I was either busy with the affairs of the underworld or busy thinking every day. Probably because the gods don't need to rest, they ignore purity. It's like mortals don't need to forget their feelings, so they ignore the practice.

I seem to suddenly understand why most mortals are lost in lust and lust, and when you are overly immersed in one thing, you tend to ignore the opposite. Immortals are not better than mortals in this regard, and the gap between humans and immortals has been infinitely narrowed here.

When did humans begin to be distinguished from immortals? In ancient times, when cultivation had just begun, immortals were just people who had cultivated to a high level. At that time, it was the ancient gods who were in charge of the order of heaven and earth. They are a group that is different from people, born with infinite magical powers. Was it after the departure of the ancient gods?

So where is the part of the immortal's body that belongs to the human being? If a person can live forever, what is the difference between him and the immortal?

I couldn't help but think of Peng Zu, the grandson of Emperor Zhuan, who by chance got a piece of jade left by the ancient gods, and he wore it on his body, and lived for 800 years without dying. In the end, he had no love in his life, and ripped off the piece of jade, which was received by the underworld. That piece of jade was received by the Heavenly Emperor to the Heavenly Realm and handed over to the three Dao Ancestors for study.

When Peng Zu arrived in the underworld, he was dumbfounded, and his eyes were dull. The whole ghost, inside and out, exudes something called despair. In the end, the boss poured him Meng Po soup, which is also called fairy water, and sent him to reincarnation.

People and immortals are obviously still different, and there has not been a single immortal who has committed suicide until now. What is the difference between humans and immortals? Is it because of my understanding and understanding of the principles of heaven and earth? I seem to understand a little, but I seem to be even more confused.

Maybe it's time for me to meet the teacher......

took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, engraved the words "leave", and sent it to the eldest to the eleventh, the heavenly realm and the earthly government are always very touching in terms of the speed of transmission.

On my way to the Heavenly Realm, I received replies from other Yan Jun.

Boss: "The underworld needs you, return early." ”

Second child: "Old Nine, you are lazy again!!"

Lao Wu: "Maybe it's time to set a rest system for Yan Jun!"

Sixth: "I know, I'll keep an eye on Huaicheng, don't worry!"

Lao Qi: "Lao Jiu, what are you going to do?"

Yi Zhi: "Three days, no more!"

Fan Li: "Don't listen to Yi Zhi, just come back in six days!"

Me: "......"

The road leading from the underworld to the heavenly realm does not have a fixed name, most of the ghosts in the underworld call it "the road to heaven", the ghosts call it "the road of the two worlds", and the Yan monarchs call it "that road".

The celestial realm also has different names, the heavenly immortals all call it "Heaven and Earth Bridge", and the golden immortals all call it "Yin and Yang Dao". And the official name of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm is actually "nameless road", as the name suggests, it is a road without a name.

The scenery on this road is as good as ever, as if time and space have been reversed, the stars are in the sky, but also at the feet, the sun and the moon are on both sides, and the beauty is not collected. But those who walk on this road, whether they are immortals or heavenly soldiers and ghosts, are rarely in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and they are usually desperately hurrying to finish things as soon as possible. Of course, there is never a time for a transaction to be completed.

Thirty-three days were as calm as ever, and when I arrived at Tushi Palace, the shepherd boy and the medicine boy were standing at the door, offering gifts from afar.

I walked up to me and asked in return, "Does the teacher know I'm coming?"

The medicine boy replied, "The teacher already knows the intention of the senior brother, so he specially ordered the two of us to wait here." ”

I asked again, "Is the teacher available?"

The shepherd boy glanced into the courtyard and said, "The teacher said, senior brother should not come to ask him, he should go to ask His Majesty." ”

Naturally, I knew what the shepherd boy meant, he was reminding me that the teacher was in the courtyard, but he didn't want to see me. Your Majesty naturally refers to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, who rules this world.

I bowed down towards the courtyard and said, "Teacher, I know, I'll go to see the Emperor of Heaven for a solution." ”

There was no reply from the courtyard, and I didn't wait, I said hello to the medicine boy and the shepherd boy and left.

The Emperor of Heaven is not difficult to find, but it is difficult to find, because there are always too many affairs to be decided by the Emperor of Heaven, and the immortals waiting in line to meet the Emperor of Heaven can line up from the gate of the Lingxiao Hall to the South Heavenly Gate.

As Yan Jun, a high-ranking official among the immortal officials, I was at the end of the line. There is no great difference between the heavenly realm and the earthly government in essence, and justice and equality are implemented in all administrative systems. Any selfish official will fall from his original realm in a very short time, and then retire from his position, and the emperors sitting on high places will examine all affairs. This is the foundation for the Heavenly Realm and the Earthly Mansion to maintain the operation of the world order, so whether it is the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm or the Yama Monarch of the Earthly Realm, except for the place where he usually sits a little higher, there is no difference in treatment from other immortals, ghosts, and gods.

A quarter of an hour later, I met the Emperor of Heaven, who was naturally very majestic.

The office mode of the Emperor of Heaven makes me very envious, the entire Lingxiao Hall is his incarnation, an incarnation to meet an immortal and do a business. This is a mystery that surpasses the Da Luo Jin Immortal, and the boss who sits in the underworld has not been able to grasp it.

The Emperor of Heaven recognized me, thousands of years ago, at the Yaochi Festival, the nine Yan Monarchs of the underworld at that time sat at the head of the Emperor of Heaven.

The majesty of the Heavenly Emperor dissipated, and he asked with a smile, "Wuqi Yanjun, why did you come to see me?"

I bowed and said, "There are some problems in my cultivation, I went to Tushi Palace to ask for advice, but Daozu said that I should come and ask Your Majesty." ”

"Oh?" the Emperor asked again, "What is your problem?"

I said, "Immortals and humans, the two are one, why are they two kinds, and what are the similarities and differences?"

The Heavenly Emperor stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "I don't know how to answer this matter, this is a reason, and I can't explain it forcibly. You can go to the library to watch the group of books, and then go to the world to understand the world, or you can comprehend. ”

I said, "There are many affairs in the underworld, but I am afraid that I will not have time to stay in the world." ”

The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll send the Yuding real person over for you for a while, and wait until you go back from the world." ”

I bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Heavenly Emperor waved his sleeves and said, "Don't thank me, if you really understand this problem, you can open up the path of Tianzun." Whether it is the Heavenly Realm or the Earthly Realm, there is a great need for a new Heavenly Venerable. ”

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of me." ”

The Emperor of Heaven said: "There is no need to be humble, and the path of cultivation must be more encouraged. Two hundred years later, the Heavenly Realm will hold another Yao Chi Grand Event, and you will inform the other Yan Jun not to be absent at that time. ”

I smiled and agreed. The Yaochi Festival has always been a grand event for the gods, but the peach ripens too slowly, and the event is too few.

The Yaochi Festival is probably a day when all immortals can be lazy in public!
