The fate between Taoist couples does not come by sitting and waiting.

Compared with resigning himself to the arrangement of heaven, Wang Zhan believed in his own efforts.

However, he did not rush to Lanyue City in Dongzhou, but walked into Los Angeles and found a place to sell news to buy Gu Liang's simple information, planning to trace the footprints she left in the Western Desert all the way.

After Gu Liang's apprenticeship ceremony and Chang Yi's baby ceremony, Wang Zhan traveled in Dongzhou Zhucheng, during which he also had several "chance encounters" with Gu Liang, who was ordered to patrol the examination room.

Later, Wang Zhan felt that this practice was disrespectful to Gu Liang, and it seemed too deliberate, so he simply followed her footsteps slowly, went to many small worlds with barren spiritual energy, and also saw and experienced many things, and his Dao heart gradually became clear.

Coming out of the small world, the Qiankun faction encountered heavenly punishment, and encountered the harshest storm since the founding of the mountain, Wang Zhan chose to stand on the side of the Qiankun faction as a person, and got acquainted with Liu Rumei, Zhen Juese, Xu Jiaqing and other people who knew Gu Liang or were willing to help the Qiankun faction, and the Dao heart began to become clear and flawless.

Although Wang Zhan had never met Gu Liang, he lived in the Qiankun sect for a period of time after Gu Liang returned to the land of sin, and met Gu Ning, Gu Cheng, Ji Zici, Bai Keke and other people who had blood relations and friendship with Gu Liang, and the Dao heart further tended to be complete.

Subsequently, Wang Zhan bid farewell to the disciples of the Qiankun Sect, went all the way south along the Qiankun Mountain Range, walked through the Suiyun City where the labyrinth of destruction had not yet flown away, flowed through the vast Baihe River that divided Dongzhou and Nanling, and came to the unfrozen sea where the blockade had not yet been unbroken, and also rested in the tea house on the edge of the unfrozen sea.

The tea house is very interesting, the boss is an extremely rare god and demon hybrid in the world of gods and demons, and Xiao Er is a descendant of the combination of ancient beasts and humans, and they all like to eat monks.

Wang Zhan couldn't see it at first, but after being targeted by them, he realized that he was in a trap, and after a lot of twists and turns, he escaped from the tiger's mouth and almost gave his life.

As an outstanding descendant of the Zhongzhou Wang family, Wang Zhan has always been proud, of course he won't just forget it.

It's a pity that the boss and Xiao Er were too cautious and clever, and after knowing Wang Zhan's origin, they quickly hid, and sent someone to send an apology gift in the hope that he would not care.

The atonement gift was an extremely rare fire, and Wang Zhan felt that giving it to Gu Lianghui would be an excellent gift, so he didn't continue to track down where the owner of the tea house and Xiao Er were hiding.

After this matter, Wang Zhan still wanted to go to the small world of the Wangu tribe to take a look, but Gu Liang had already returned to the Divine Desolation from the land of sin, and there was also news that he had killed two Yuanying monks in the West Desert Tianmen City, he thought that he hadn't seen her for a long time, so he wanted to have a chance encounter.

Now that the coincidence has been missed, Wang Zhan feels disappointed, but he doesn't have too much regret in his heart.

A cultivator has a long lifespan, and it is common for Taoist couples not to see each other for hundreds of years, what he should do is not to stay where he is and feel sorry for himself, but to strengthen himself.

If he advanced to the Yuan Infant and transformed into a god, crossing thousands of miles in just a moment, it would be easy to find Gu Liang.

The influence of emotion on the monk is two-sided, some people cause their cultivation to fall because of their feelings, and some people go higher and farther because of their feelings.

Wang Zhan's Dao heart is infinitely close to perfection, if there is no accident, after this trip to the Western Desert, he will be able to return to the small world where the Wang family in Central Continent is located to retreat and get married.

Gu Liang was able to kill two Yuan Babies in a row in the Jindan Realm, this kind of strength was also a leader in the Divine Desolate Cultivation Realm, and after he got married, his clansmen would definitely not object to his request to the Qiankun Sect to marry Gu Liang as a Taoist couple.

However, Gu Liang's cultivation and strength improved so quickly, Wang Zhan also remembered his evaluation of Gu Liang a few years ago, saying that it would take her ten years to catch up with herself at that time, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed of her arrogance and conceit at that time.

Maybe it was because of this reason that he inadvertently missed Gu Liang, right?

Sitting on the chair of the teahouse where Gu Liang had once sit, Wang Zhan ordered a pot of tea, and looked at the monks coming and going on the street below the teahouse, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Everyone in the world knows that the son Zhan is gentle and elegant, rational and calm, and a gentleman.

They don't know that Gongzi Zhan will also be competitive, and the unruliness in his character is not even less than any arrogant son, which is Wang Zhan's shortcoming and his weakness, he must overcome it, and then he can meet the Yuan Ying Tribulation in the best state.

Everyone's choices are different, and life is different.

When Wang Zhan was thinking about the weakness of his nature, Gu Liang also introduced Lu Guang to Xu Zhen, the new deputy city lord of Lanyue City, and said, "Senior sister, he is an honest man. ”

Xu Zhen was willing to trust Gu Liang very much, and when she heard this, she carefully looked at Lu Guang, who was slightly cramped, shook her head and said, "A gentle temperament like you is more suitable for practicing Taoist exercises in a peaceful manner, you should be a monk of our Taoism." ”

Lu Guang said: "The exercises I practice are chosen by the true monarch. ”

Xu Zhen was the deputy city lord of the first city in Dongzhou at a young age, and his knowledge was no weaker than Gu Liang's, and he saw through Lu Guang's practice at a glance: "You are practicing the "Refining Life Sutra" that is closer to Taoism in the Demon Gate exercises, it is already very peaceful compared to the mainstream exercises of the Demon Gate, but it is still slightly overbearing compared to the Taoist exercises. ”

Lu Guang said respectfully: "The fairy is right, but I have been practicing the Refining Life Sutra for five hundred years, and it is impossible to change to other exercises. ”

Xu Zhen said: "So, there are three paths in front of you. ”

Lu Guang hurriedly gave a big salute to Xu Zhen and humbly asked: "Please make it clear to the fairy!" ”

Xu Zhen accepted his salute and instructed: "The first of the three paths is to continue to practice the "Refining Life Sutra", maybe your cultivation can only stop at the early stage of Jindan, and the better point is only the middle stage of Jindan and the late stage of Jindan.

The second path is to seal all the memories and borrow rebirth, if you are lucky to have a spiritual root, you can re-embark on the path of cultivation, and if you are unlucky, you can only be a mortal without a spiritual root.

There is a third way, you immediately disperse the magic skills and re-cultivate the Dao Sutra, and start all over again, maybe it is possible to come into contact with a trace of the mystery of the Yuan Infant Realm before the Shou Yuan is exhausted. ”

When Gu Liang heard this, he thought of the "Wonderful Sutra" he had practiced, and his face was thoughtful.

The Demon Gate Exercises and the Taoist Heart Sutra are fundamentally different, so if Lu Guang wants to take the right path, he can only give up everything and start over.

The "Wonderful Sutra" she practiced is an orthodox Taoist Heart Sutra, and if she is not willing to continue practicing, she can change it to another practice at any time, and she does not have to re-practice it.

It's just that Gu Liang will be willing to give up the "Wonderful Sutra"?

For now, she is reluctant.

Because the "Wonderful Sutra" is the basis for the performance of some divine consciousness secret techniques, without the divine consciousness secret techniques recorded in the "Wonderful Scripture", Gu Liang's strength has to be reduced by at least two or three percent.

Thinking of this, Gu Liang couldn't help frowning slightly.

Some people wanted her to practice the wrong version of the Sutra, and they made it happen to her in the Cabinet of Scriptures.

Wei Che helped her correct the mistakes and omissions of the "Wonderful Sutra" one by one, and this exercise seemed to be no problem, and even the master Xie Qingyuan did not persuade her to change to something else.

So, should she still practice the "Wonderful Sutra"?

Lu Guang listened to Xu Zhen's nodding, and after a while he reacted, and asked confusedly, "Fairy, which path should I choose?" ”

Xu Zhen said slowly: "This is a question you should think about, I am not you, and I can't give you an answer." The best advice I can give you is to choose the third path, if you don't want to live like a mortal, you should revisit the Taoist Heart Sutra. ”

Lu Guang was not a resolute person, and he lowered his head and said, "But...... But...... Fairy, if there is a mistake in the process of dispersing the exercises, maybe my fate will be to die of rapid aging as a mortal......"

Except for some extremely powerful existences, an ordinary monk with a bone age of hundreds who has lost his cultivation and become a mortal will usually lose all the vitality in his body in just a few hours, and he will not even have the opportunity to be reincarnated.

Lu Guang is an ordinary monk, and he may fall if he recultivates his skills, so he doesn't dare to choose.

Xu Zhen picked up the teacup, blew lightly on the tea soup, and said, "That's why I will tell you that this is your choice, not mine, not junior sister's, and not anyone else's." Whether you choose or not, and what you should choose, no one can force you except yourself. ”

Lu Guang subconsciously shook his head.

He didn't know if the decision to follow Gu Liang to Dongzhou was right or wrong.

In just a few days, he and Yin Zhenjun, who had followed him for five hundred years, went their separate ways, and was told that life should be lived for himself, and he was told that it was wrong to practice the exercises for five hundred years......

Whether Lu Guang admits it or not, his life will never go back to the past.

What subverts all this is his own choice.

Lu Guang remembered very clearly that it was he who told Yin Zhenjun that he wanted to stay in the Western Desert, it was he who decided to see Zhou Man, and it was he who decided to come to Dongzhou......

Now, he is faced with three more choices, is he willing to settle for mediocrity, or give up a gamble?

Lu Guang thought carefully for a moment, regained the mood of resolutely leaving Tianmen City a few days ago, and summoned all the courage to say to Xu Zhen and Gu Liang: "Two fairies, I will choose the third path. ”

People can be willing to be ordinary, but no one will be willing to be mediocre, including Lu Guang.

Cultivating the truth is to go against the sky, all the monks have no afterlife, there is no reincarnation, he has no way back, the only thing he can do is to work hard to move forward.

Hearing Lu Guang's decision, Gu Liang and Xu Zhen glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise on each other's faces.

Lu Guang had made up his mind, and gave Xu Zhen a disciple's gift in a particularly solemn and solemn manner: "Please Fairy Xu for guidance, there are countless Taoist Heart Sutras, which one am I more suitable for?" ”

Xu Zhen was taken aback by his disciple's courtesy, and helped him up and said, "I'm just telling you what the road ahead is, and I can't afford you to treat each other as a half-master." ”

Lu Guang was a very stubborn and honest man, shook his head and said: "Fairy Xu is to me, and I will recreate it." After that, he solemnly saluted Gu Liang again, "Fairy Rongsu, I am very grateful for bringing me to Dongzhou, and I am very grateful for asking me if I am leaving!" ”

Meeting Gu Liang was his chance.

met Xu Zhen, which was also his chance.

Lu Guang still doesn't know what the future will look like, but he has definitely believed that his choice is not wrong, and he will not regret his choice today in the future.

Gu Liang and Xu Zhen both saw the resolute meaning in Lu Guang's eyes, and they both had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Xu Zhen said: "You are the three spiritual roots of water, wood and earth, among which the earth spiritual root accounts for the largest proportion, and there are many Taoist Heart Sutras suitable for practice, and it does not specifically refer to any one." If you feel that this general outline is very compatible with your philosophy, then this exercise is suitable for you. ”

Lu Guang pondered for a long time, and thanked him: "Lu Guang thanks Fairy Xu for his advice." ”

Xu Zhen said again: "In fact, there are countless exercises in the world, and there are usually many that are suitable for your cultivation, but there will only be one that is most suitable for you. ”

Lu Guang was puzzled: "Please forgive the disciple for being dull." ”

Gu Liang was also a little confused when he heard this, and looked at Xu Zhen with puzzled eyes.

Xu Zhen said: "Everyone's spiritual root attributes are different, their physical qualities are different, and their personalities are even different, do you think the exercises left by your predecessors will be the most suitable for you?" ”

Of course not.

Gu Liang replied in his heart, and then asked Xu Zhen: "Senior sister, if it is according to what you said, then wouldn't we all have to create our own exercises and practice?" ”

Xu Zhen said: "Of course, what kind of person you are, only you know!" Therefore, the exercises you create may not be the best in the world, or even not in the stream, but it will definitely be the most suitable for you. ”

Gu Liang said: "Senior sister, I don't deny that you are right. However, it is not easy to create your own exercises, if you are gifted and have extraordinary understanding, it is fine, if you are not talented and have ordinary understanding, you are afraid that you will not be able to create a suitable exercise in your lifetime! ”

Xu Zhen asked rhetorically: "If everyone in the world practices the exercises left by their predecessors, where do the exercises practiced by their predecessors come from?" It is said that the predecessors were smart and could create their own exercises, aren't we smart? It is said that the predecessors are powerful and can get married before the age of 50, can't we? You haven't tried it at all, how can you know if you can do it! ”

Gu Liang was speechless, but the doubts in his heart were gradually answered.

Should she continue to practice the Sutra?

The "Wonderful Sutra" is a precious wealth left by the predecessors, Gu Liang may be able to practice the "Wonderful Sutra" to the transformation of the gods, refining the void, crossing the calamity, and Mahayana, but he will never be able to practice the "Wonderful Sutra" to the great consummation.

Because "The Book of Wonders" does not belong to Gu Liang, and it is not the most suitable for Gu Liang.

The immortal road is endless, and taking mountaineering as an example: the predecessors opened up the road, left all kinds of tools, and the descendants followed the footsteps of the predecessors to climb up, and when they reached the place where the predecessors stopped, they did not know how to open up forward, did not know how to make tools, and how to go higher and farther than the predecessors?

Gu Liang finally realized that if she wanted to stand at the peak of the avenue and become an immortal queen, she must not step on the footprints left by her predecessors, but must walk out of the road that belongs to Gu Liang!

"Fairy Xu, are you saying that I need to create my own exercises to practice?" Lu Guang was still confused, he rarely made a decision, and he felt a little hesitant at this time.

How difficult it is to create his own exercises, Gu Liang, who was able to kill two Yuanying monks with the Jindan realm, looked embarrassed, not to mention that he who had practiced for five hundred years was only in the early stage of Jindan.

Xu Zhen shook her head and said, "Definitely! I mean, there are many exercises you can practice, but there is only one that will take you to the top. You also know that your comprehension is not high, so what you have to do now is not to create your own exercises, but to choose the Taoist Heart Sutra that suits you, and then scatter the exercises and re-practice. ”

Lu Guang understood, and responded: "Yes." ”

Xu Zhen glanced at Gu Liang and said to Lu Guang: "You are not familiar with the place in Dongzhou, if you are interested in settling in Lanyue City, you can find a small courtyard to rent for a few months and get familiar with it before making a decision." ”

Lu Guang thanked him, asked Xu Zhen for a map of Lanyue City and the contact information of some monks, and then said goodbye to Gu Liang, Xiaobai, and Longsheng of Shantai, and began his casual cultivation career in Dongzhou.

Gu Liang also thanked Xu Zhen for her advice, and then asked her to arrange for Xiao Bai and Qin Huan to live temporarily in Lanyue City, and then returned to the Qiankun Sect with Manlong and Lantai Longsheng.
