054, the argument of immortals

Wudang Mountain is still that mountain, but after Su Xun followed Nalan Xinyi to climb the top for an afternoon, he couldn't help complaining: "Didn't you say that the main peak of Wudang Mountain is only a thousand meters?" How many meters have we climbed here? Even if it's going up the mountain in a circle, it's still there, right? ”

"Wudang Mountain is the ninth cave heaven of the thirty-six cave heavens and seventy-two blessed lands, and it is also the only cave heaven blessed land that remains in the world, so it naturally has its differences. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe scenery on the mountain has its own world, and you will know it when you get down. Nalan Xinyi was not anxious or tired, but was very happy because she was going home.

"Stains, then we are considered heavenly?" When he turned around, Su Xun found that he was already above the sea of clouds at this moment. The expanse of the view was pleasant, but the weight of his feet made him unable to enjoy it.

Alas, if Nalan Xinyi hadn't let him bring the guardian goddess over, he would have brought Artoria and the others with him. Although it is a shame to be carried by a girl, Su Xun is really a little unable to climb at this moment. For six or seven hours in the afternoon, the two of them did not slow down at all.

Rao Yi is now close to 4 times the recovery ability of ordinary people, but seeing that Nalan Xinyi is also sweating profusely, he really can't mention the idea of letting this girl carry herself, after all, she is not a guardian goddess, and she is just an ordinary person with herself.

"Phew, hold on a little longer. It's almost there. Nalan Xinyi knew that Su Xun was about to reach the limit, after all, Su Xun was not a character who couldn't suffer, but climbing the mountain was really not an easy thing. What's more, this mountain road is banned, and you can't jump up, you can only walk up step by step.

If Su Xun summoned a Shadow and flew up, he would return to the real world as soon as he left the steps, and he would find that he was already above Wudang Mountain, not on the mountain road. If you want to go to the secret realm of Wudang, you can only do it by taking this clear heart path.

Nalan Xinyi saw Su Xun nodding and gritting her teeth to follow, she hesitated and stretched out her hand to him. Su Xun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took the hand, and continued to climb the steps with the help of Nalan Xinyi. The girl's face is still a little ruddy, maybe she is tired from climbing, who knows?

After climbing for another hour, the distant mountain top finally arrived, his eyes climbed the steps, looking at the quaint mountain gate at the end of the steps, the mountain gate was smoky, and the remaining steps were vaguely blurred under the mist.

"Is it there?" Su Xun asked with interest.

"Well, here it is, this is the real Wudang. A magnificent world of beautiful mountains and rivers. With Nalan Xinyi's words, the two crossed the mountain gate, and then found themselves on a lookout on the top of a mountain, and looking down from the top of the mountain, this is a verdant and bright world.

Surrounded by high mountains, there is a towering and mountain-high Zixiao Hall standing in the center, Zixiao Hall is surrounded by countless pavilions and towers that undertake construction, and the green water surrounds the pavilion and goes to the east leisurely. Outside the hall is a leisurely village scene where Tian Mo is vertical and horizontal, and chickens and dogs smell each other, and Su Xun can also see some small figures farming in the fields.

"How's it going, beauty?" It seems that only when he comes here can Nalan Xinyi's smile be so unreserved, and the cold face only gives people a feeling of wanting to be close in this somewhat childish smile. She is an immortal in the sky, but she remains in the mortal world.

"The scenery is beautiful, and the people are more beautiful." It's a very cliché compliment, but Su Xun is sincere. Nalan Xinyi, who returned to Wudang, let go of all her defenses, and the pure and ethereal spirit was so friendly and moving under the sense of dependence on home.

"Flim Flam! Let's go, let's go see the master. Pulling Su Xun, Nalan Xinyi burst out with a huge force, Su Xun was taken and flew up directly, and then under Nalan Xinyi's jump, the two fell in the air. When Su Xun was hesitating whether to summon a skull shadow, Nalan Xinyi whistled with his left hand, and a crane chirped in the distance.

Su Xun watched a huge red-crowned crane fly over at great speed, and then he and Nalan Xinyi arrived on the crane's back. Nalan Xinyi touched the feathers on the neck of the red-crowned crane and said, "Xiao Chu, I'm back, do you want me?" ”

"Hiccup!" A loud crane chirped as an answer, thinking that this red-crowned crane called Xiaochu missed her. After receiving Xiao Chu's kind answer, Nalan Xinyi also happily rubbed the feathers of the red-crowned crane, and then commanded: "Xiao Chu, let's go see the master." ”

As a result, the red-crowned crane, which was originally circling in the sky, suddenly sped up and flew towards the huge Zixiao Palace. Feeling this speed, Su Xun muttered a little in his heart. Isn't this already breaking through the speed of sound? Why don't you see wind resistance and sound barriers?

After Xiao Chu flew close to Zixiao Hall with the two of them, Su Xun saw a figure standing on the lookout on the top floor, seemingly facing this side. Su Xun saw it, and Nalan Xinyi also found that person later, so she shook her hand and shouted: "Master~ I'm back!" ”

Is that the master in Nalan Xinyi's mouth? After taking a closer look, the white-haired old man wearing a bright yellow robe and holding a whisk of dust looked like a fairy wind bone.

Seeing the old man respond to Nalan Xinyi's closeness with a smile, and then with a flip of his right hand, a plate appeared out of thin air, with a whitebait on the plate, and then Xiao Chu happily pecked at the silverfish, and then flew away happily.

"Master Su, welcome to Wudang." Nalan Xinyi's master, Yu Xuzi, the seventy-third generation descendant of Taoism, turned the dust and welcomed Su Xun's arrival with a bow.

Su Xun saw that the old man was polite, and he could only draw a scoop with a gourd, and returned the salute with one hand: "Thank you for the invitation of the old immortals, Wudang Wonderland, rare in the world, is really an eye-opener for the younger generations." ”

"Since Su Gongzi likes it, you might as well stay a few more days. There are still more than a month left in the opening of the Royal War Academy, and if Su Gongzi likes it, he can just live there. It's not early, I have already ordered the food collection to start preparing meals, and Su Gongzi must have been hungry after climbing the steps for a long time. Ning Xin, first take Su Gongzi to take a bath, and then come over for dinner. ”

Ning Xin is Nalan Xinyi's way, she didn't expect the master to let her take Su Xun to take a bath. It's not that there are no Taoist children in the view......

After climbing the mountain for a day, the clothes on my body have already been soaked with sweat several times. took Su Xun to the hot spring pavilion, took a set of clean clothes and handed it to Su Xun, Nalan Xinyi went to the women's bathroom at the other end, and she was also slimy and uncomfortable.

The secret realm of Wudang is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the days of the fire in July are only more than 20 degrees, and it will not be too hot to soak in a hot spring in the evening. After taking a clean shower, Su Xun casually found a quiet pool and soaked it. There is a teapot on the stone table next to the hot spring pool, which contains brewed tea, and you can pour two cups when you are thirsty.

The hot spring hall is not empty, and there are also several Taoist priests bathing at this time. Although Su Xun obviously hadn't seen it, no one came forward to ask.

Probably because he was hungry, Su Xun was willing to get up from the hot spring pool. That warm feeling makes people don't want to move, and when they put on their robes under the cool night breeze, they no longer feel cold.

When I walked out of the men's bath, I found that Nalan Xinyi had been waiting for a long time in the hall. She was holding a book of Taoist scriptures listlessly, presumably she was reluctant to move at the moment, but unfortunately Su Xun was a guest, and she had to take good care of it.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the pool is so comfortable, I forgot the time for a while." Su Xun stepped forward, and subconsciously blessed his soul, and actually rubbed Nalan Xinyi's shoulder. Nalan Xinyi didn't expect Su Xun to be so active, but the hands on the side of the massage shoulder were accurately handled, which really made her feel comfortable, and although her face was red, she didn't directly refuse Su Xun.

She felt a little uncomfortable after enjoying it, probably because she had never been so close to men. Then he got up and escaped, and then said, "The master is still waiting for us to eat, let's go." ”

The Dining Pavilion is a canteen-based building in Wudang, but it only serves some high-status Taoists. Other Daotong disciples have another canteen to eat, and there is no currency circulation in the entire Wudang secret territory, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are all in accordance with the specifications.

Taoism is not like Buddhism, which pays attention to not killing and not eating meat. Although the cultivators of the Tao are also accustomed to this, there is no nominal rule of death. Maybe it's to take care of Su Xun, the plate of delicate dishes on the table, in addition to vegetarian dishes, there are also several meat dishes.

Fortunately, Yu Xuzi knew that Su Xun was very hungry, so he didn't talk nonsense, just smiled and let him eat first. Su Xun was not polite, and moved his chopsticks after answering.

Should it be said that it is worthy of the ingredients produced in the blessed land of the cave? In addition to the high level of the chef, the freshness of each ingredient is incomparable to the outside world, and without a little MSG, the freshness from nature flows in the mouth. was already hungry, coupled with the delicious dishes, Su Xun had a great appetite, ate eight bowls of rice, and stopped his stomach when he was round.

"Haha, it's a blessing to be able to eat. Xiaoyou don't have to be ashamed, the old man was able to eat like this when he was young. Seeing that Su Xun was a little embarrassed, Yu Xuozi stroked his beard and explained with a smile.

"Pig!" Nalan Xinyi didn't give Su Xun face, looked at the pile of empty plates in front of her, and couldn't help muttering a complaint.

"The scenery is like a fairy, the food and residence are leisurely, but I really want to live here forever." Su Xun rolled his eyes at Nalan Xinyi, and then said to Yu Xuzi.

"In this case, Xiaoyou can stay here, and the old man is quite welcome."

"Haha, the old fairy invited me to come to Wudang, and I naturally wanted to stay. It's just that mundane things are difficult, so please ask the old fairy to solve your doubts first. Su Xun saw that Yu Xuzi was still good at talking, so he asked directly.

"Xiaoyou is too careful, the old man invited Xiaoyou over this time, just to ask a question."

"Old fairy, excuse me." Su Xun straightened his body and showed a serious look.

"According to Xiaoyou's opinion, what is the difference between immortals and mortals?" Su Xun didn't expect Yu Xuzi to ask such a big question, and it was also a question he had never thought about. What is the immortal here? What does it mean, literally?

"Immortals are the realm of eternal life, free from the shackles of matter, and live with heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon. Fan, a hundred years of life, the white horse has passed through the gap, and the sweet and sour flavors are mixed, but it is unforgettable. Is it better to be an immortal, or is it better to be a mortal? While Su Xun was thinking, Yu Xuzi said something to himself.

At this time, Su Xun knew what Yu Xuzi was asking. Fifteen years later, if the flood returns, the immortals will no longer be out of reach. Those of them who seek immortals and ask questions can also get the opportunity to ascend in the daytime. Taoism is backed by the immortal court, and it is naturally close to the power of the flood famine.

This inquiry, Yu Xuzi probably wanted to understand Su Xun's attitude. What is his opinion on the catastrophe fifteen years later, and what is his attitude towards Taoism? This Confucian value of the "person who should be robbed", how big is the strength. Is it worth it for Taoism to believe in him, so he gave up part of the operation of the return of the flood and left the catastrophe completely to the technology side to solve.

“…… Whether it is immortal or mortal, the premise of everything is just human beings. If the struggle fails, Taoism is another way out for mankind. After merging into the flood and then seeking to reproduce, human beings may not be without the possibility of regaining domination of the world. Immortals and mortals, in my opinion, are just two paths for the future of mankind.

Fifteen years later, if we win, it will be science that will dominate everything, and mankind will succeed and flourish from generation to generation, and this will be the end of everything. If we lose, we look forward to a few years later, the immortals and Buddhas in the sky will be occupied by our human race, and this will be the end of the immortals. The difference between immortals and mortals, in my opinion, is like this, old immortals. ”

Since that time when Zhang Lin first passed on Su Xun's heroic spirit, Su Xun's main task for Karin is to sort out information to clear the fog of history and restore the real history. Therefore, Su Xun got the general historical truth from Karin, and also knew how Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity existed.

Confucianism and science have always been staunch guardians of mankind. In the past 2,000 years, in the era when the seven houses of Canglong were separated and the emperor was not born, it was Confucianism that had always guarded mankind and maintained the seal. In recent decades, the power of science has taken over the responsibility of Confucianism and has become the most important recourse of mankind, relying on the return of catastrophe and famine.

As for Taoism and Buddhism, although they are inextricably linked with the flood and famine, they are also the power of human beings after all. In the case that Confucius divided the Three Realms and Confucianism was unparalleled in the world, Taoism and other sects could still continue, which is very revealing. They are not traitors, but a back path reserved by humanity.

At that time, Jiang Ziya held the list of gods to clear the heavens, earth, people and gods, and strive for 800 years of stable development for mankind. So in Su Xun's view, Taoism has no merit......

(I've been preparing for the make-up exam these days, so the plot in Yazhou was a little rough before, forgive me.) There's no good way, so I can only speed up the pace, although a lot of things I want to write haven't been clarified, but it's better to hurry up and enter the academy chapter. )
