Chapter 336: The Mystery of Longevity on the Journey to Zhongzhou
"Please come in!"
An old voice rang out in the courtyard.
Yi Cheng gently pushed open the courtyard door, the furnishings of this courtyard are extremely simple, only one linden tree is planted in the courtyard, and directly opposite the courtyard gate are three simple wooden houses, and on the left are a few huts, which seem to be kitchens.
At this time, on a wicker chair under the Bodhi tree, an energetic old man looked at the paper pages in his hand with interest, and didn't seem to care about Yi Cheng's arrival.
"Is this the home of Kunshan?" Yi Cheng asked.
When the old man heard this, he glanced up at Yi Cheng and said with a smile: "Young man, sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
The old man's hair was already pale, and his face was deeply wrinkled, but he was in good spirits, and there was no trace of old age in his eyes, bright as stars in the night sky.
"Do you know I'm coming?" For an elder, even if he is a mortal, Yi Cheng retains that respect.
"Yes, after Kunshan told me about his encounter with you that day, I wanted to see you, but I'm too old to be as good as you cultivators, so I can only wait here." This old man's expression was natural, and he didn't feel the slightest bit cramped and uneasy because Yi Cheng was a cultivator.
"What do you call the old man, should I call you Kun Lao or Mr. Sima?" Yi Cheng asked, although Yi Cheng knew that Kunshan was the grandson of this person, but with the feeling that Yi Cheng knew that the old man and Kunshan were definitely not biological, but a little similar to Sima Rufeng he had seen.
"My name is Sima Tian, it's just an old antique in the Sima family who can't be cultivated, Kunshan is an orphan I took in, a few days ago, the two boys Rulong and Rufeng came to see me, and mentioned you, there are not many young people who can make Rulong so respected!" Sima Tian smiled at Yi Chengdao.
But at this time, Yi Cheng's heart turned out a shocking wave, Kunshan's cultivation is only in the early stage of the Dan, but Yi Cheng knows that the age of Kunshan is within fifty years old, although he didn't look closely, I don't know how old his bones are, but Yi Cheng knows that Sima Rulong and Sima Rufeng are definitely more than two hundred years old monks, although for the Yuan Infant Monk, such an age is already considered a genius, but this Sima Tian is a mortal who can't cultivate without spiritual roots, his name is Sima Rulong Sima Rufeng boy, Doesn't that mean that he is older than those two, which is really beyond Yi Cheng's cognition.
Aren't mortals only 100 years old? How could there be an ordinary person who was more than two hundred or even three hundred years old, if ordinary people could increase their longevity by hundreds of years, Yi Cheng would definitely do whatever it took to do so, as long as he could return to the vast mountain range within fifty years, wouldn't his younger brother and sister be able to live for hundreds of years?
Originally, because his younger siblings did not have spiritual roots, Yi Cheng had already prepared for this kind of psychology, but if there was hope that they would get it longer, Yi Cheng would not miss it.
I don't dare to say that I will be unscrupulous when I return to the vast mountain range with my current strength, but it is absolutely no problem to protect myself.
"Mr. Sima is expensive this year?" Yi Cheng suppressed his horror and immediately asked.
Sima Tian shook his head, as if he had guessed Yi Cheng's thoughts, "Old, old, I can't remember, I only know that this Bodhi tree was planted by me when I was ten years old, and now it should be more than four hundred years old, are you also curious about my longevity?" ”
Yi Cheng got such a return, almost stood up in surprise and shouted that it was impossible.
But Yi Cheng's heart has already been honed as a rock, even so, he did not lose his temper, but then asked: "I started to cultivate the truth from the secular world, and I also know that there is a saying that life is 100 years old, and the longevity of mortals cannot exceed a hundred years, my mentor is a strong martial god in the mortal world, and his strength is no longer under the foundation building period monks, even if my mentor is a natural talent, he cannot cultivate without spiritual roots, and he can only end up with regrets, so when I heard about this today, I was surprised in my heart, and I also asked my predecessors to teach me." ”
"Hehe, in fact, this is nothing, I am cousins with the contemporary head of the Sima family, but I am just a person who has no spiritual root, so in the Sima family is almost ignored existence, but I Sima Tian does not believe in the destiny of heaven, so I put my mind on changing my spiritual root, a full thirty years, since I was twenty years old, I have run all over the Wanshan Mansion, for a monk, this is nothing, but I am just a mortal, although the martial arts of the secular world have also been practiced to the extreme, But in the end, he was no match for a monk in the Yudan-stage period.
When I was fifty years old, perhaps it was a coincidence of fate, and when I knew the destiny of heaven at fifty, I figured it out, no longer deliberately sought it, but instead focused on teaching and educating people.
At this time, I was already eighty years old, and I had long since broken off my mind of cultivating immortals, and I no longer taught, but just studied every day and spent the rest of my life in peace.
At this time, I no longer had any desires in my heart, and the books I read were not eclectic, because I was also a member of the Sima family, although I could not cultivate the truth, but I could get some experience in cultivating the truth, so I also flipped through those classics with a calm heart.
And twenty years have passed, but I am still alive when I should have died, and my spirit is getting better and better, not to mention that I don't know the reason, even the elders in the family can't figure out the reason when they come to find it.
But I have no desires in my heart, so I live and enjoy it every day.
After a hundred years, I gradually understood the reason, although I couldn't cultivate the truth, but I realized the Tao, so this longevity could increase.
The way of heaven is endless, although there is no spiritual root can not cultivate the truth, but can realize the Tao, the Tao exists in heaven and earth, it is more magical and difficult to understand than the aura, so I have lived for a full five hundred years. ”
"Enlightenment!" When Yi Cheng heard this, he seemed to understand a little, but there was deep regret in his eyes.
First, I regretted that the peculiar way of longevity could not be applied to my family, and more I felt sorry for Sima Tian.
Others don't know the importance of enlightenment, but as a monk in the Yudan period, Yi Cheng has been exposed to the power of the god transformation stage, and Sun Sihe told Yi Cheng that the most important step in this god transformation is enlightenment.
There are three thousand avenues, and one can turn into a god, but the way of heaven is vast, but this journey of turning into a god has made hundreds of millions of monks stop here.
Enlightenment is to realize the Tao in a word, others can not speak, can only understand but not speak.
Sima Tian actually realized a trace of the Heavenly Dao with the body of a mortal, if he could cultivate the truth, then he would have a great chance to become a cultivator in the Transformation Period, so Yi Chengcai was a pity for him.
"What is the Heavenly Dao?" Yi Cheng didn't know if he was asking Sima Tian or muttering to himself!
"The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way!" Sima Tian whispered to Yi Chengdao.
"The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way?" Yi Cheng seemed to have grasped something, repeated this sentence repeatedly, and actually sat under the Bodhi tree with his eyes closed and pondered, without saying a word.
The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way!
The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way!
The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way!
The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and everything has its way!
The echoes echoed in Yi Cheng's mind, and all kinds of expectations for more than 50 years were remembered by Yi Cheng one after another, and the scenes were replayed in his mind
