The entire Chang'an City fell, nearly 300,000 monsters, the two strongest Taoist masters of the contemporary era, Lao Tianshi and Feng Chen, joined forces to stop it, and they were still at a loss, and Xu Guan came here, but it only took a few minutes to turn those living monsters into corpses.

Chang'an City, where the demons danced wildly, regained its calm, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

The Heavenly Master's face suddenly changed drastically, because he was shocked to realize that the 50,000 monsters under his control had cut off all contact with him in an instant, and no matter how he affected the Bagua Diagram, he could not get the slightest response.

It's not that he didn't know that Xu Guan made a move, and he also listened to the conversation between the two of them, but he didn't expect Xu Guan to have such a clever method, even the monsters he controlled were honestly lying down, and his soul snatching technique was powerless in front of Xu Guan's Yin and Yang Jue, which had never appeared when he fought with Wu Ran for control of monsters before.

In order to achieve this level, the mastery of the opponent's spell must far exceed that of his own Soul Snatching Technique, and in addition, this also requires extremely powerful skills as support.

The Celestial Master sighed and stood up, on the edge of the roof, looking around the city—the streets were silent, the streets were full of corpses, and the streets, on the green trees on both sides of the street, on the lamppoles, and on the bodies of those tall buildings, were all stained with childish and abstract blood graffiti like the art work of students in kindergarten.

The terracotta warriors and horses who were galloping between the streets also stopped, and Feng Chen gave them the order to stop their actions through the spirit flag, and they all stood motionless, turning back into a lifeless terracotta figurine, as if everything just now had nothing to do with them, they seemed to have always been like that, and they had always maintained their original posture, but why were their faded terracotta figurines covered with blood, why were the weapons in their hands curled, and why were they carrying a pile of heads in their stiff hands。

The old heavenly master shook his head slightly, although the matter has subsided, the impact of the incident on the city is irreversible, the people in Chang'an City fled, died, and those who were lucky enough to hide in the city and escaped were also frightened.

He jumped into the air, stepped in the air, and rushed towards Xu Guan's side, and at the same time as him, there was also the old way of sealing the dust.

"Xu Guan Jushi. As soon as the imperial capital was farewell, Lao Dao thought that you had encountered an accident, but I didn't expect that when I saw it today, you couldn't help but recover from the injuries you were injured in that battle, and even improved a lot. The undisguised joy on Feng Chen's face. This bell tower is one of the many retro buildings in Chang'an City, not too high, but definitely not low, it can also be called magnificent, covering a wide area and an open roof. He stood in the corner of one of the four roofs on the roof of the building, and the old heavenly master who rushed here after him stood on the corner of the other roof, and arched his hand towards Xu Guanyi: "Xu Guan is safe and sound, and the Taoism has improved a lot, and the old Taoist congratulates." ”

"You're welcome. Xu Guan hugged his fists one by one and returned the salute. Then he looked around and looked at the tragic situation in the city, and his heart was so sad that he not only asked, "What is going on here?"

Feng Chen's old way told him what happened this night, Xu Guan nodded after listening, and said helplessly: "It's too late." Otherwise, this Chang'an City would not have suffered such a catastrophe. He sighed again: "But the ancient witch protector of the Lich Clan can be killed by his own corpse control technique, which can be regarded as retribution in this world, and he is innocent of death." ”

Wu Ran's body was still in the previous building, his face was still messily smeared with his own spurting blood, his body had long since lost its temperature in the cold night wind, and it was gradually stiffening.

"Pity the people of this city. Feng Chen also sighed: "But fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise the situation will develop like this, I don't know how many innocent people will suffer." ”

The Old Heavenly Master also nodded in agreement, it was indeed fortunate that Xu Guan was able to arrive in time, he suddenly remembered, and asked: "Why did Xu Guan Jushi appear here? Could it be that he also got the news that the old thief of the Lich Clan was making trouble here? Also, your skills seem to have improved more than before, what have you experienced in the few short days that we have been apart?"

These questions are also what Feng Chen's old Taoist wants to ask, and after the Heavenly Master finished asking, he also echoed his chin, looked at Xu Guan, and waited for Xu Guan's answer.

As for Xu Guan's strength, these two old Taoist priests are extremely clear. Some time ago, the three of them joined forces in the imperial capital to fight against the stubborn stones of Nanshan, and it was Xu Guan who used the jade pendant to absorb the power of heaven and earth, quickly transformed into true qi, and passed it on to the two of them using the secret method of the old heavenly master, at that time, the bodies of the three can be said to form a reservoir together, and the water in the pool is the true qi. The three of them shared this large reservoir, and the true qi between them was interconnected, and each person was very clear about the amount of true qi in the other two people's bodies, as well as other conditions.

Therefore, how deep Xu Guan's skills are, the two veterans know it. The two of them knew that according to common sense, even with the blessing of the jade pendant, it would be difficult for Xu Guan to dispose of these nearly 300,000 monsters lightly.

"To tell you the truth, at that time, Yu was kidnapped by the Lich Clan Wu Yan Protector and taken to a secret place. There, Yu learned a local technique. Xu Guan replied vaguely.

"I remember when you were in the imperial capital, you were in very bad health. The move of forcibly competing with the Nanshan Stubborn Stone, such a majestic true qi, is definitely not something that the meridians of the human body can bear. Isn't your meridians damaged?" Feng Chen wondered, you know, once a cultivator's meridians are damaged, it will take at least three or five years to recover, and at worst a lifetime of waste, how can it be possible to recover his strength in a few days and improve so much?

"Yu was indeed seriously injured at that time, and his meridians were much wasted. However, the meridians of the True Qi operated by the newly learned technique were very strange, and they were completely different from the Dao method of our Central Plains. Therefore, when I cultivated that technique with the broken meridians, there was no blockage. ”

"So how much has your strength improved now?"

"Yu has already reached the realm of heaven and man at this time. Xu Guan replied.

When the two old Taoists heard this, they were shocked, and almost fell off the roof at the same time.

"Heaven and Man Realm?" Feng Chen's face was full of horror.

"Legend has it that the supreme realm of Taoism is comparable to the strength of the Jiuding Peak Great Witch of the Wudao lineage. The Celestial Master's lips were trembling, and his face was full of disbelief. Five thousand years up and down in China, Taoist cultivators throughout the ages are like carp crossing the river, there are countless people, but there are only a few people who can cultivate to this extent, and the old gentleman who rode the green ox west to Guguan is counted as one, the Zhuangzi who turned into a butterfly in a dream and did not want to wake up is also counted as one, and Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Heavenly Master Dao, can also be counted as one.

"For more than a thousand years, there has never been a person in this realm in Taoism. When Feng Chen looked at Xu Guan again, he was full of envy, it was really a blessing in disguise.

Taoism has a thought called 'the unity of heaven and man', which is a philosophical thought, which is very high and far more understandable to people. If this idea is not properly explained in the vernacular, it is probably this: Heaven is nature, man is a part of nature, and nature is the Tao. Therefore, man is included in the Tao and is supposed to be part of the heavens, but due to some of the development process of man, man has lost his original natural nature and has become out of harmony with nature. Therefore, people need to cultivate, they need to 'abandon the holy and abandon wisdom', abandon all the things that are not conducive to becoming one with the 'Tao' in the course of man's development, and return to the 'Tao', return to nature, and return to 'Heaven', so as to achieve a spiritual realm of 'all things are one with me'.

And the so-called realm of heaven and man is talking about this realm.

"How did Xu Guan reach this realm, can I easily explain one or two?" The old heavenly master was a little embarrassed, standing there, rubbing his hands in embarrassment.

Xu Guan shook his head lightly: "Dao Ke Dao, very Dao." ”

"That's right. The Heavenly Master was a little frustrated, but he also understood.

The Tao is very good, and it is very good.

The first 'Dao' is a noun that refers to the Tao itself, the second 'Dao' is a verb that refers to speaking, expressing, and the third 'Dao' is a noun that still refers to the Tao itself.

This is the first sentence of the Tao Te Ching, and Lao Tzu has already explained in the first sentence of the opening chapter - the 'Dao' itself cannot be expressed, and if the 'Dao' is expressed, then the 'Dao' that is expressed is not the real 'Dao'.

Presumably, when Lao Tzu wrote the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching", he must have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man. He himself has comprehended the Tao itself, but he is unable to express it so that others can also attain the same heavenly and human realms through his expression.

The same is true for Xu Guan, not that he doesn't say it, but he doesn't know how to say it.

"When Yu first entered the realm of heaven and man, he felt that he had reached a state that he had never had before. Xu Guan recalled how he felt when he broke through the realm: "All of my previous understandings of the Tao have been overturned, and it seems that all of them are not in place, all of them are biased, and all of them are not correct. The mind is being corrected by a miraculous invisible force, and is being guided to merge into nature and to experience the Tao itself.

Yu seems to have turned into a butterfly that broke out of the chrysalis at the beginning, and then became one of them in the chaos of flowers, a gust of wind rose, the petals were blown away, rose with the wind, turned into a yellow bird, and flapped its wings to the sky. How could the yellow bird fly into the nine skies, so Yu was surprised to find that he didn't know when he became a Dapeng again, carrying the blue sky and white clouds, stepping on the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, flying and flying and planting headlong down, and turning into tens of millions of raindrops on the way down, all of which were poured in the dense forest.

Later, Yu was a deer, a tiger, an insect, a beast, an animal and a plant, a living and a dead thing. It seems like 10,000 years have passed, and it seems like only a moment has passed.

In the end, Yu seemed to dissolve into nothingness again, quickly withdrawing from all things in nature, and seeing everything in his eyes become distant and blurred, and finally turned into chaos.

By this time, Yu was no longer controlled by Yu's thoughts. As if everything came naturally, Yu's mind comprehended the 'Tao' itself, and finally stepped into the realm of heaven and man. ”

After Xu Guan finished speaking, he looked left and right at the two frowning and contemplating old Dao: "Everything that happened during this period is beyond Yu's control, Yu seems to be unable to do anything, nothing to do." Guided by a magical force, he walked all the way into the realm of heaven and man.

Yu understood the Tao in the process, but he still couldn't express it.

Yu can't express what it feels like when he becomes a butterfly, and he can't express what he feels when he becomes a Dapeng. But it was really felt clearly.

Yu can only talk about this process, but cannot say what he has gained and thought in the process. ”

This is the Word. Feng Chen sighed, lowered his head, and was silent. The Heavenly Master also stood silently. These two old Taoists are thinking back to the Tao they understand in their minds, and from the moment they entered the Dao Gate, they were led by the masters and brothers to perceive the Tao and observe the Dao, and for more than a hundred years, the two of them were convinced of the Tao they understood. But at this moment, they had to fall into deep self-doubt—was the Tao they understood also the Tao understood by others? Is it the real Tao?
