872, the three products of immortals
Zou Mao hadn't seen any monks, except for the long-term Pingshui meeting, and the immortal elders who were good friends with the Zou family.
In his impression, these monks seemed to be immortal bones, but they always had a mundane aura that could not be escaped. Lingyu was not, she looked into the eyes of others, interested but not desired, as if she was independent, just a bystander—this was a real detachment.
Inevitably, when Zou Mao thought that Lingyu was the immortal chief he longed to see, he beautified the image of Lingyu in his heart. But his feeling was not wrong, how could Lingyu be the same as those low-level cultivators who eventually fell back into the world.
Lingyu asked him what he wanted, which confused Zou Mao. Aren't all fairy paths the same? Is there any difference?
"The three products of immortals, the lower grades are rich and expensive, the middle grades are carefree, and the upper grades are seen and done." Lingyu just stood at the door of the tent and said with her hands in her hands.
Zou Mao always felt that she had a special taste when she was holding her hands like this.
Hearing the content clearly, Zou Mao was a little stunned: "Inferior...... Rich and rich? He thought he had misheard.
Lingyu nodded, and repeated with a smile: "The inferior grade is rich and expensive." ”
"Immortal Chief, why is the inferior product rich and expensive?"
Lingyu waved her hand: "If you don't understand, then come back after you figure it out." ”
Zou Mao watched Lingyu go up to the sand dunes on the left and sat down on the top of the mound.
This is the most standard five-hearted posture, and it has almost become instinct for her to do it. Zou Mao seemed to see that a wisp of extremely fine purple qi appeared above her head, like a silk pillar, straight into the Heavenly Spirit Cover.
He no longer had any doubts about Lingyu's claims. I sat down in a random corner in the shadows around me. Stupidly looking at the spiritual jade that absorbed purple qi on the hill. It's like looking at your own dreams.
The lower grade is rich and expensive, the middle grade is carefree, and the upper grade is seen and done...... This sentence is the opposite of mortal life. In the mundane, the most ordinary people can only live a life that goes with the flow, and they watch and do. The time, the fortune, the political situation, no matter which one changes. will have an unpredictable impact on them, and they can only survive with difficulty. And the well-off home, without worries about food and clothing, can barely be called carefree. Becoming a big family and dominating the people's livelihood means that it is rich and expensive, and the Zou family is only on the edge of being rich and noble......
This sentence is contrary to the common sense he has formed since childhood, but Zou Mao already thinks that Lingyu is the immortal fate he is looking for, how can he suspect that there is a mistake in her words? So he hid in the shadows and meditated.
As the sun rose, the purple qi had dissipated. The market has also reopened.
Lingyu returned to the tent, still closed as she had done yesterday.
And Abi happily shuttled through the crowd. Listening to them bargain, and seeing what treasure they liked, they threw out the gold and silver in exchange......
Wherever she appears, there is always a group of people around, and everyone rushes to recommend the goods in her hand - this little woman is too generous!
The lively scene fell silent as the weather got hotter, until at night, the camp by the Pearl Spring was full of people again.
Lingyu stepped out of the tent and found Zou Mao standing respectfully at her door, just like in the morning.
"You won't fail to go back, will you?" Lingyu smiled at him.
Zou Mao's face was sallow, listless, with drooping eyelids and thick dark circles, which showed that he was very sleep-deficient. But there was another extraordinary excitement in his spirit, and his eyes sparkled.
"Immortal Chief, I've thought about it for a day, and I don't know if it's right or not." Lingyu sat down casually by a campfire, "Tell me about it." ”
"The so-called great wealth and nobility must be the wealth of the mortal world, right?" Seeing that Lingyu had no intention of judging, Zou Mao continued, "If you are seeking great wealth and nobility in the mortal world, it is extremely simple for monks, and this is also inferior. And the carefree of Zhongpin is about leisurely travel, pure and inaction, and Taoist nature. ”
"Looks like you've put a lot of thought into it today." Lingyu affirmed his statement from the side.
Zou Mao was overjoyed and continued: "As for the top grade, the disciple doesn't know much, presumably seeking the Great Dao is all kinds of hardships, so let's see it?" ”
Lingyu took a sip of wine and said, "You have a heart." ”
The truth is very simple, but it is not easy for people who have not experienced it to realize this.
Zou Mao was praised by her, and his eyebrows danced: "The disciple has been thinking hard for a long time today, and I have asked many people before I have this insight......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lingyu shake his head.
Zou Mao's pride disappeared in an instant, and he asked worriedly: "Could it be that what the disciple said is not right?" ”
"No," Lingyu said with a smile, "I just want to sue you that you don't have to call yourself a disciple." ”
There are two situations for claiming to be a disciple. The first is the relationship between teachers and sects, such as the Taibai Sect, who can call themselves disciples in front of her. The second is that the Dao system is passed down from generation to generation, for example, when the sword cultivator sees Ziying Tianjun, he will call himself a disciple, and if he reaches the level of the Dao Ancestor, almost all the monks in the human world will call themselves disciples.
Lingyu didn't let Zou Mao continue to call herself a disciple, firstly, she did not want to bear cause and effect, and secondly, she was far from reaching the level of Huaisu.
The deep-seated reason, of course, Zou Mao, a layman who didn't step in with one foot, didn't understand. But he could probably understand that Lingyu didn't want to have too much to do with him. This disappointed Zou Mao, and during this day, he always thought about whether the immortal chief showed his appearance in front of him, did he intend to accept him as an apprentice? Just like those legendary novels......
And the truth is, he thinks too much. Zou Mao adjusted his mood and maintained respect: "I don't know if what the villain said is right or not, please give me advice." ”
"You have entered the Tao, and you can be regarded as a monk, and you call yourself a junior." Lingyu said this, squinting her eyes and leaning against the mound, looking very comfortable.
"Now that you have realized the three products of immortals, which way do you want to go?"
Zou Mao was silent, his face struggling: "Disciple...... Juniors ......"
"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet."
Zou Mao was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Immortal ......"
"Don't worry, it's useless if you're in a hurry." Lingyu said, "It's impossible to ask for anything, I'll give you something, there is no cause and effect between us." ”
Zou Mao's face was confused, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of Lingyu's words. He also thought that Lingyu had revealed his deeds to him, and he was willing to take him to the beginning.
After pondering it carefully, Zou Mao cautiously proposed: "Immortal Chief, this guide is not available to the juniors for a while. If you are willing, the younger generation is willing to make a contract with you, and when you arrive at the blessed land of Xianshan, the younger generation is willing to be a cow and a horse, and repay it twice. ”
For mortals, the wealth of guiding the way is expensive enough to bankrupt the ordinary family, but for the real monk, it is not difficult to earn this money. However, those monks who linger in the mortal world generally do not have the day to wait patiently for the reward.
Saying this, Zou Mao felt uneasy in his heart, for fear of offending Lingyu and breaking this opportunity.
Recalling the ridicule he received during the showdown at the Zou family, Zou Mao was in a trance. Before that, he had always thought that if he entered the Dao, he would definitely become an important figure in the family, but the words of the young master made him realize that he was too naïve.
Among the mortals, there are very few who can set foot on the immortal path, but the overall number of monks is not quite a lot at all, and eighty percent of them only have Qi refining and cultivation. A low-level monk like this is nothing at all, at most he can only go to the mortal world to seek a fortune.
And he, who has only entered the Tao in his twenties, has no future at all. Those immortal elders would not look at him at all, there was not enough price, and they would not be willing to help him step into the immortal gate.
He realized the meaning of the three products of immortals, and his heart was beating a drum. Ever since he knew his qualifications were poor, he had been running low on his confidence. The reason why I came to Ulan was because I didn't want to admit defeat in my heart, and I never thought about how far I would go after stepping on the immortal road.
Lingyu smiled faintly and no longer mentioned this matter, but asked about the rumors of immortal cultivation in the world.
When it comes to this, Zou Mao is energetic. He is very interested in cultivating immortals, and he is from such a big family as the Zou family, and he has a wide range of contacts and knows a lot.
Lingyu listened silently, looking for useful information.
Zou Mao said that those immortal cultivators gathered in the northeast and waited for leisure to enter the world. There are some lower courtyards of the immortal sect scattered in the world, looking for disciples with excellent qualifications for the immortal sect, but no one knows where these lower courtyards are.
If you want to embark on the path of immortality, there are only two ways. One is to find the lower courtyard of the Xianmen, enter the Xianmen, and become its disciple. The second is to find those loose cultivators who have a way to take them to the fairy realm.
Both methods need to be guided, and both need to be guided. Unless his own qualifications are excellent enough for the immortal sect to compete, otherwise, this guide capital cannot be saved.
"Immortal Domain......" Lingyu muttered.
"Immortal Chief, what kind of place is the Immortal Domain?" Zou Mao looked at him hopefully, "I heard that there is no one to guide the way, even if you go to the Northeast, you can't find the fairy realm, is there any mystery that can't be done?" ”
Lingyu smiled faintly and did not answer.
Zou Mao thought he was presumptuous to ask, so he didn't dare to ask again.
"If you had the means to lead the way, who would you look for?" Lingyu asked.
Zou Mao was stunned. His request to the Zou family was rejected, so naturally he couldn't use the connections of the head of the Zou family, but as long as he was willing to put his mind to it, he could still find some clues. When he met Lingyu, he naturally hoped that Lingyu could act as his guide, but he didn't expect her to ask like this.
"Immortal Chief, you ......" he was a little apprehensive.
"So, you don't have a goal anymore?"
Zou Mao replied vaguely.
Lingyu nodded, got up and went back without warning.
Zou Mao wanted to call her to stop, but he didn't dare, so he could only sit back in disappointment.
That night, Zou Mao finally fell asleep, but he didn't sleep very well, and before dawn, he woke up and couldn't sleep anymore.
He squatted outside Lingyu's tent, staring at the door, not daring to move.
When the sun was about to rise, Lingyu lifted the curtain and came out.
"Immortal Chief!" Zou Mao eagerly greeted him.
"Early." Lingyu casually greeted and was about to walk towards the sand dune.
Zou Mao followed and said eagerly: "Immortal Chief, I have thought about it." Limited by qualifications, I'm afraid there is no hope for the top grade, if it can reach the middle grade, it would be very good, otherwise ask for a lower grade. (To be continued......)
