Chapter Twenty-Three: Heaven and Earth in the Heart
Lin Wanfeng couldn't imagine that Li Lao would make such a request, and for a while, she didn't know what kind of medicine Li Lao was selling in the gourd. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What, you don't want to join my Lingxiao Sword Sect? Then it seems that I can only split your head and take out the book from inside. ”
After saying that, Li Lao turned out the sharp blade that he had originally collected, and it seemed that he was ready to do it now.
"Old Li, do it slowly. I just promised to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect. ”
Lin Wanfeng saw that Li Lao was holding a sharp blade and kept comparing it to his head, and his scalp was numb. So he hurriedly spoke, expressing his willingness to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
I heard that Lin Wanfeng had already agreed to join the Lingxiao Sword Sect. But Li Lao didn't put away the cold and shining blade, he still kept gesturing at Lin Wanfeng's head, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, and said, "Hehe, this is your willingness, I didn't force you." ”
"Yes, no one forced me, the juniors joined voluntarily. ”
Lin Wanfeng replied with a forced smile. But he secretly said in his heart, can I not join the Lingxiao Sword Sect? I can't, risk my own head, try to see if you really dare to cut off your own head.
However, although Lin Wanfeng responded, she then said with some doubts: "But Old Li, you should know that the younger generation does not have a spiritual root, so it should be impossible to cultivate." ”
"Hmph, stinky boy, what are you pretending to be foolish. You have already been recognized by this "Blue Lotus in Chaos". Will you be able to practice?"
Old Li looks like he has already seen through your kid. Then he said, "Besides, who said that without a spiritual root, you can't practice. ”
Lin Wanfeng couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but asked puzzledly: "But, doesn't it mean that you can't practice without a spiritual root? ”
At this time, even Leng Feng, who was standing behind Li Lao, looked at Li Lao with some confusion.
"Of course not. ”
Li Lao said as he cocked Erlang's legs, and the cocked trouser legs were covered with dirt and patches. The shoes that leaked out of their toes hung crumblingly on Li Lao's feet, and they were still twisting, making a steady stream of peculiar smells come out. Leng Feng and Lin Wanfeng in the room were all dark.
However, Elder Li didn't seem to see the strange expressions of the two, and said proudly: "Today, old man, I will give you two a long experience." Do you know that in fact, in the flood era, we and other human races did not have spiritual roots? ”
"I have heard of some of this nephew, according to legend, in the flood era, my human race did not have a spiritual root, and then because the human race was favored by heaven and earth, the avenue was favored, and the heavenly spiritual root was obtained, and the human race was greatly prosperous, defeating the two lich clans that dominated the world at that time, so far, the human race dominated the world, making all races surrender. ”
Leng Feng replied by enduring the smell in the room.
"Heaven and earth favor, the avenue is unique. You also believe this kind of nonsense that deceives children. ”
Li Lao was slightly disdainful, and then said with some sighs: "Actually, the reality is much more cruel. I think that after the beginning of chaos, the era of flood famine came, and between heaven and earth, all kinds of flood beasts were rampant. There are also two powerful clans of the Lich competing with each other, and the world is in chaos. However, our human race is born weak, and it is not as strong as other races, and it is the weakest race in heaven and earth, and it is often killed and plundered by other races, or enslaved by other races, and bullied by all races. can only struggle in the cracks. It was a period of complete darkness for the Terrans. ”
Li Lao paused slightly when he said this, as if he was lamenting the tragic experience of the human race in the past, and then continued with a straight expression: "Later, there were some talented people in the human race, and they finally came up with a way to make the human race strong, and that is the method of cultivation. Later, countless martyrs of our human race went forward and fought desperately. The era of the flood has finally ended. To put it bluntly, the current situation of our human race is all the result of the hard work of our ancestors. And the founding patriarchs of the six schools of my righteous path were all outstanding in that era. ”
When Li Lao said this, a look of pride clearly appeared on his face. Then the conversation changed and continued: "And the cultivation path of the human race in the flood era can be summed up in four kinds. The first is a person with great perseverance and wisdom who perceives the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and finally, he senses the Dao of Heaven and creates his own exercises. However, this method is too difficult, after all, the avenue is vast and boundless, and ordinary people can't comprehend it at all. There are very few successful people from ancient times to the present, and the number of successful people does not exceed ten fingers at most. This shows how difficult this method is. However, those who succeed in practicing this method are all people with unlimited potential, and if there is no accident, they will definitely ascend to the immortal day. ”
"And the second is that someone swallowed the cherished elixir of the flood era by chance. The powerful medicinal power produced by it forcibly opens up the eight veins of the strange meridians in the whole body, so that people have all kinds of strange abilities and strange methods. However, the disadvantage is that the ability to produce is limited by the medicinal power of the swallowed elixir, and the ability generated cannot be cultivated and strengthened. Moreover, since the end of the flood era, because the aura between heaven and earth has been decreasing, there have been fewer and fewer genius earth treasures, and by now, they have basically disappeared. Therefore, this road has long been cut off. ”
"The third type is that people who have great fortune are enlightened by the Gu Immortals. In the flood era, although our human race was the weakest, it was born intelligent and intelligent. And at the beginning of Chaos, a group of Gu Immortals came into being. All of them are supernatural and powerful, and their mana is boundless. Some intelligent people of our human race were valued by the Gu Immortals, and they were included in the disciple to practice. And this method was the most popular in the flood era. But with the end of the flood era, all the immortals have flown to the immortal realm, or retreated to the small world they have opened up. It is now difficult to find a trace. So this approach doesn't work. ”
Later, it was discovered that the offspring born from the combination of cultivated people were actually born with a strange talent, which made them naturally able to cultivate, which people called spiritual roots. This is the fourth method. It is much less restrictive than the previous three methods. The first three methods are cut off because the conditions for practice are too harsh, or because the conditions that arise are too harsh. And gradually disappeared in the long river of history. Only the fourth method has survived. That's why later there was a saying that there is no spiritual root and no immortal cultivation. ”
Speaking of this, Li Lao looked at Lin Wanfeng, with wisdom in his eyes, and said with deep meaning: "However, it does not mean that there are only four paths of cultivation, maybe people will find the fifth and sixth paths that day. And the spiritual root may not be a necessary talent for cultivation, so there is more than one avenue in the world. And we monks should not rest on our laurels. And then lose the enterprising spirit. ”
"Do you understand the reasoning?" asked Elder Li to Lin Wanfeng.
"Thank you for the teachings of the seniors, the younger generations understand. Lin Wanfeng bowed her hand and said.
"Hahaha, do you really understand?"
Li Lao suddenly laughed wildly, which couldn't help but make Lin Wanfeng a little confused.
"Alright, it's time for me to go back to the Scripture Pavilion. As for getting started, I'll leave it to Xiao Leng. ”
But Elder Li didn't explain anything, but stood up and said to Leng Feng.
"Uncle Shi rest assured. Leng Feng nodded in response.
"Then I'll go. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Lao had already disappeared. I only heard someone singing from afar:
The world's avenues are infinitely wonderful,
There is more than one way to cultivate the truth.
The heart of heaven and earth is true in,
It is not difficult to become an immortal.
