Chapter 16: A Dream of 'Eternal Life'
Yan Ruyu was just about to shout, "Who is the demon, dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of the deity", and suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar.
Looking further on, he saw a winding path that led to the foot of the high mountain.
A small stream flows at the foot of the mountain, and behind the stream is a three-zhang high cyan stone gate, the stone gate is closed, and in front of the door sits a thin old road with white beard.
The reason why it is called Lao Dao is because the other party is wearing a clean Taoist robe with blue and white, and the voice is coming from Lao Dao's mouth.
"Are you the mountain god in the mountain temple?" Yan Ruyu remembered, this voice was almost exactly the same as the mountain god in the mountain temple.
"The mountain god is me, but I am not the mountain god. Lao Dao still had his eyes closed.
"Oh, I see. Yan Ruyu nodded lightly.
"What do you understand?" asked the old man again.
"The mountain god is your manifestation, but you are not only the mountain god. Yan Ruyu said indifferently, this question still needs to be asked, he has always scored full marks for reading comprehension.
"Well, I did not misread you, you are really intelligent. At this time, Lao Dao's eyes finally opened slowly, revealing a pair of black and white eyes, just like the two poles of yin and yang.
Yan Ruyu had never seen such eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then, he felt like a star moving in front of him, and in an instant, he arrived in front of the mountain gate.
Lao Dao sat in front of him, less than two feet apart, and he could even see seven lotus platforms of different colors in the stream in front of him.
"Sit down. Lao Dao pointed to a futon at Yan Ruyu's feet.
"Good. Although Yan Ruyu was surprised in his heart where this was, he said indifferently on the surface: "There is a Tao in my heart, and I see the meaning of the mountain gate to cultivate 'entering the Dao'?"
"Well, only by entering my Dao Sect can you see my mountain gate. Lao Dao nodded.
"What if I haven't entered the Dao?" Yan Ruyu asked rhetorically.
"Of course I can't see that. ”
"What is this place?"
"Daogong Mountain Gate. ”
"Daogong Mountain Gate?"
"Yes, as long as you enter the Dao Palace from the mountain gate, you can become the master of the Dao Palace, get the three thousand avenues, and have supreme supernatural powers. Lao Dao smiled.
"The legendary sanctification ancestor?" Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up.
"That's right. ”
"Is it strong?"
"Naturally. ”
"How strong is it, can you describe it specifically?" Yan Ruyu doesn't like to listen to fools, he likes to listen to something more substantial.
"I didn't expect to run into a bar spirit today. Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and then, with his hand in front of him, a cyan stone platform appeared.
There are several teacups on the stone platform.
The old way of making tea.
Yan Ruyu sat in front of the stone platform and waited patiently.
"Flying away, is it strong?" Lao Dao pushed a cup of tea in front of Yan Ruyu.
"Count. Yan Ruyu didn't drink, but nodded lightly.
"Pick the sun and the moon with your hands and step on the stars?"
"Naturally, too. ”
"Well, in my case, none of that is strong. Lao Dao shook his head.
"Then what is strong?" Yan Ruyu was surprised.
"You look at the top of the mountain. Lao Dao did not directly answer Yan Ruyu's question, but pointed to the top of the mountain with one hand.
"The top of the mountain?" Yan Ruyu subconsciously followed the old man's hand and pointed up, his eyes saw through the layers of clouds and mist, and saw the top of the mountain piercing into the sky.
There, there is a lone peak.
There is a boulder on the lonely peak, and two large golden characters are written on the boulder......
"Immortality!"
"Immortal?!"
Yan Ruyu's heart trembled.
Two hundred and ninety years ago, Li Qiubai crossed over, memorized Tang poems, recited Song lyrics, and became a Confucian genius on the first day, but at the age of ninety-three - 'died'.
No immortality!
Two hundred and ten years ago, another genius was born, he used geometric figures to derive astrological signs, and invented the periodic table, and at the age of eighty-nine - 'died'.
Nor shall you live forever!
And now, on the peak of this palace, the word 'immortal' is actually written!
How incredible?
But isn't that logical?
If this world can achieve immortality, why didn't Li Qiubai ask for it? Why didn't the warlock genius who was born out of thin air ask for it? Why didn't anyone ask for it for three hundred years?
"Is it strong enough?" said the old man's voice again.
Yan Ruyu's gaze was instantly pulled back to the mountain gate, he could no longer see the mountain peaks, nor the layers of clouds and mist, and he couldn't even see anything behind the bluestone gate in front of him.
"Gollum!"
Yan Ruyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Strong enough, then, may I ask, how can I enter this palace from this mountain gate?"
Answer me a question. Lao Dao said indifferently.
"One?"
"Yes, one. ”
"Is it another way of talking? I'm good at that. ”
"No, we have already talked about the Tao in the temple of the mountain, and you can say that the black is white, and the false is true, if I talk to you again, it will be endless. Lao Dao shook his head.
"Huh. Yan Ruyu smiled indifferently.
What does it mean to say that what is black is white, and what is false is true, and this is obviously not taking the ordinary road? The world thinks that the Tao lies in the word 'Dao', but Yan Ruyu has always felt that the Tao lies in the word 'Treatise'.
As long as you have a thick enough skin, then you are undefeated.
"My question is a game, and if you can break this game, you will answer my question. Lao Dao continued.
"What bureau?"
"You drink this cup of tea, and you'll know. Lao Dao pointed to the teacup in front of Yan Ruyu with his finger.
"Good. Yan Ruyu was calm.
It's just a game, can't he break the talent of his two lives?
Pick up the teacup.
Yan Ruyu's eyes looked at the tea in the cup, which was clear and green, well, this is a cup of green tea, but in fact, he prefers to drink black tea.
"Can you change a cup of black tea?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"......" old way.
"It seems that it can't be changed, but in fact, I'm really not picky. Yan Ruyu smiled slightly, and then drank all the tea in the teacup.
"You really don't pick, you're just a little underwhelmed. The corners of Lao Dao's mouth raised, and then he pointed at Yan Ruyu's eyebrows.
"Buzz!"
A golden light pierced in.
Yan Ruyu only felt that a strange power poured into his soul, making him seem to be extremely relaxed all of a sudden, and even had a pair of wings.
"Wings?"
Yan Ruyu subconsciously looked at his arm, and sure enough, he saw a pair of wings, black and white feathers, covered by pieces.
"Am I a bird?"
"What the hell?"
Yan Ruyu was a little confused.
His gaze looked ahead, and he saw a puddle in front of him, and there was a shadow in the puddle, which was a red-crowned crane that was tall enough to be a man.
"I became a red-crowned crane, what kind of game is this?" Yan Ruyu thought about whether to call a few times to substitute for it, and then, he found that what he said was still human.
Then, he heard some voices around him.
"Senior brother, do you want to bathe together?"
"Huh, where did the woman's voice come from, and who is the senior brother she said? Why did she say these embarrassing words? Could it be that this is the legendary beauty bureau? If that's the case, I can give it a try!" Yan Ruyu decided to spur this 'junior sister' fiercely.
(Ask for recommendation votes, ask for rewards, today Monday, why didn't anyone vote for recommendations? Do you have to force me to give you 'color'?)
