After worshipping Laojun, the three of them withdrew from the hall and sat down at the table under the tree in the courtyard, Xuan Zhenzi clapped his hands, and a young man in a light blue cloth robe came out of the east wing with a tea tray and poured tea for the three of them, which seemed to be prepared.

"This is my vain view, deaf and dumb but smart and wise, the Taoist heart is very strong, and only by breaking through the Qi training period to reach the foundation can I break through the heavenly barrier and speak, it is difficult for him, in this view, only the two of me depend on each other. Xuan Zhenzi introduced.

"The scale of this Tongtian Temple is not small, senior......"

"This is built by the first teacher, and his old man has cultivated all his life, so I am the only apprentice. ”

"Oh. Ye Wushuang nodded, and Xuan Zhenzi stretched out his hand to ask: "Please use tea." ”

"Seniors are polite. Ye Wushuang picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Hmm! Good tea, orange color, mellow fragrance, and a layer of colorful oil on the soup table, this is a special technique used when roasting tea, right?"

Xuan Zhenzi laughed, "I don't want Xiaoyou to be a person in the tea ceremony, yes, yes, this tea is a specialty of 100,000 mountains, named 'Caixia', picking and stir-frying are a little bit of a doorway." ”

Ye Wushuang hurriedly said humbly: "I don't dare to call myself a person in the tea ceremony, I just know a little bit about it, and I also ask my seniors to taste the things in my cup." As he spoke, he poured a cup of safflower soup and handed it over.

Xuan Zhenzi took the cup and sighed: "My spirit monkey is the smartest, I never meet with people down the mountain, nor do I eat other people's things, but I took Xiaoyou's things and ran, thinking that this cup must be an extraordinary thing, so poor and bothering." After that, he took a sip of the cup, and immediately exclaimed: "This, this is a decoction to increase divine consciousness? This is a divine object, Xiaoyou quickly take it back." ”

Ye Wushuang hurriedly pushed back, "Where did the seniors say what they said, how can the things given to the seniors for tasting be taken back, this is what I am going to bring to the capital to participate in the Taoist friendship exchange meeting, since I came to this Tongtian Temple, I will invite the seniors to taste one or two." ”

"Uh, you're talking about the rookie exchange?"

"Exactly, the seniors also know?"

"Yes, I also received a summons yesterday to invite me to the meeting. ”

"No, the seniors have a teacher, how can it be regarded as a casual cultivation?"

"It's a long story. Xuan Zhenzi sighed slightly," My practice is not top-notch, I pay attention to neutrality and peace, my entry is slow, my qualifications are not very good, and my cultivation is slower to improve, it is hopeless to build a foundation, but the master used a special method to make me break through the shackles of the Qi cultivation period, but there is also a heartfelt advice to accompany me all my life, that is, I only practice the exercises, not the Dao arts, one is because I have inferior qualifications, I am afraid of delaying the cultivation time, and the other is that the foundation is unstable, I am afraid that my cultivation of the Tao will move the fundamentals, so I am a monk who only cultivates but does not have force, which was unimaginable in the past, but now it has become the norm in the era of the end of the Fa, and I am not the only one who does this, it is really not the right time, so I am no different from casual cultivation, often communicate with everyone, can learn a little is a little. ”

"No, isn't the true qi transformation of the predecessor used to be superb?"

"Don't make fun of me, that's something that can be naturally mastered after the foundation is built and the true qi turns into the true element, it's not a Taoist technique, and I don't have anything to be discouraged about, aren't you the same, see if you can use the Qi cultivation period to resist the blow of the foundation monk, it seems to be very violent, in fact, you just use the Buddhist door "Dragon Elephant Boruo Gong", I saw it in the late Qing Dynasty, this is a mortal exercise, it has nothing to do with Taoism, but you use it at a moment of life and death crisis, which means that you don't know what Taoism. ”

Ye Wushuang nodded, "What the predecessor said is that I can indeed have very few spells, but there are only so many in the inheritance of the exercises, what can I do?"

"Go to the exchange meeting and do the exchange. ”

"Ah, can you exchange the exercises?" Ye Wushuang was surprised, is this possible? Anyway, if someone else gives him anything, he will not exchange it for the Wushuang True Scripture.

"There may not be exercises, but there will be spells, and everyone will have a few things, which are worthless. ”

"I see. Just now, the seniors said that they had experienced the late Qing Dynasty, and I don't know how long the predecessors lived?"

"He is one hundred and sixty years old. ”

"One hundred and sixty years old!" Ye Wushuang stuck out his tongue, wasn't he born in the Xianfeng period?

Zhang Yuxi suddenly interjected: "Old man, you look so young!"

Xuan Zhenzi paused for a moment, and then stroked his beard and laughed: "Tong Yan Wuji, haha, the old man looks very young? Yes, haha, he is very young." In fact, his hair, beard, and eyebrows are all white, and he is not young no matter how you look at it, but the ruddy and smooth skin of a hundred and sixty-year-old man is still very proud. He took a sip of tea, and then said: "Since the meeting is fate, we have met today, and I will nagged a few words if I have some words, I see that Xiaoyou's spiritual energy is full of divine light, which is a good material for cultivation, but the eyes are hesitant and don't belong, but what are the obstacles in cultivation?"

Ye Wushuang's expression was solemn and he stood up and saluted: "That's true, I hope that my predecessors will not hesitate to give advice!"

Xuan Zhenzi waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "Xiaoyou, can you trust your fate?"

"How can a cultivator who fights for his life with the heavens still believe in fate?"

"Yes, if a person thinks that his fate is determined by heaven, then he doesn't need to cultivate the truth, and if he cultivates to the truth, I am going against the sky, which is true, which is true, but mortals can also learn from some remarks. "I Ching" has clouds: as soon as a person is born, the birth date will be fixed, the birth date will be fixed, the life span will have a fixed number, the same way, the number of people's heartbeats, the number of meals will also have a fixed number, longevity Fang Youyun If you want to live long, you have to change this fixed number, if you can't change this fixed number, you can only change the frequency of the heartbeat, do you think so?"

Ye Wushuang nodded, "Yes, isn't it just to encourage people to exercise?"

However, exercise can make a person's heart strong, and the heartbeat will naturally slow down and be powerful, but there is also a saying that the heartbeat is violent during exercise, which is a fixed number of heartbeats that greatly consume it, so there is no desire to live longer. Let's not discuss this, just talk about this diet, people have a fixed amount of food in their lives, and mortals are powerless to change, so only reducing diet is a good prescription for longevity, the ancients didn't eat at noon, what they said couldn't be more right!"

A black line popped out of Ye Wushuang's head, "Seniors mean there is no food tonight?"

"Hahaha, the two little friends are really funny, I have always had the rules here, but the two are guests from afar, and there are still melons and fruit snacks. Xuan Zhenzi stroked his hair and smiled, and then his expression gradually became serious: "I don't know what Xiaoyou thinks is the most important thing in cultivation?"

"Cultivation? Of course, the most important thing is to cultivate, and only when the cultivation is high can the longevity be extended, and only then can you have the opportunity to continue practicing. ”

"Xiaoyou is wrong, although cultivation must be brave and diligent and not wasted, but the cultivation of the mind is the most important, if I separate your soul and put it into a pig, and make your body into a vajra is not bad, all things are not inviolable, now let you choose, do you want a pig or a man?"

"Of course it's a pig, no matter how good my body is, it's not mine, the reason why people are human beings is only related to the consciousness of the soul, and if there is no independent consciousness, it is not me who is happy?"

"That's right, cultivation can be pushed up with the help of external forces such as elixir spiritual objects, heavenly materials and earth treasures, but if the state of mind can't keep up, it will stagnate, or even regress, especially before the big pass, such as building a foundation, such as Jindan, many people have been cultivating at the peak of qi training, but they can't take this step, why? The state of mind is not enough, the so-called cultivation of truth is against the sky, to the sky to take the number of longevity is against the way of heaven, God will send down divine punishment to show punishment, no matter how strong your body is, if the state of mind is not enough, you can't pass the test, so what kind of state of mind is qualified?"

Ye Wushuang was shocked, he had never thought about this kind of thing all along, one was that his cultivation was far from poor, and the other had not experienced anything that made him feel that his state of mind was important, and now he knew that if his mind was not clear, the road was not smooth, and a firm Dao heart was the foundation of his cultivation, he thought about it and replied in a deep voice: "Only if you stubbornly think that it is right to go against the sky!"

"Photo!" Xuan Zhenzi clapped his hands, Whether you are paranoid or have been subconsciously hypnotizing yourself or not, anyway, you think that you are doing the right thing against the sky in any situation, don't be timid because you are afraid of heavenly punishment, just think about me doing mine, God you do yours, we just occasionally intersect, although my generation of monks are in awe of the way of heaven but can not be afraid, even if God sends down divine punishment, they must rush forward, and if they can't get by, they would rather be broken than retreat, in this mentality, the world will be forgiving, and the heart will be unhindered. ”

Ye Wushuang's mood suddenly opened when he heard this, he only felt that the road ahead was smooth, and infinite confidence rose in his chest, this Xuan Zhenzi, who had neither qualifications nor resources, dared to snatch a hundred years of life from God, what could he not do? Not to mention that he also had an anti-heaven upgrade system, if he couldn't reach the peak of human beings, then find a piece of tofu and kill him!

He stood up and shook the ground, "Thank you for the teachings of the seniors, the younger generations have benefited a lot!"

Xuan Zhenzi smiled: "It's best if you can understand, now if you have any questions about your practice, you can just ask, I can say as much as I can, and it will be considered the fate of you and me." ”

"The juniors are about to ask for advice, may I ask the seniors, what is merit?"

"Oh, young people nowadays don't know much merit. Xuan Zhenzi stroked his white beard, "The so-called merit is the result of good deeds, and there will be merit in everything you do with good thoughts, and some rich businessmen without virtue donate money but have no good fortune, because their hearts are not good, just to atone for their sins, they can't accumulate merit, so it can be seen that merit is also divided into truth and falsehood, so the original intention of doing things is the most important." In addition, there is merit in cultivating oneself and purifying the world. ”

"What's the use of merit?"

"The merit is in the body, the mind is clear, and there is no need to seek the world, so the heart is accessible, and the state of no obstacle has been reached, and it is the same whether there is merit or not, and as far as I know, the biggest role of merit is to ensure that the original god is immortal when crossing the heavenly tribulation!"

Ye Wushuang was shocked: This system is becoming more and more against the sky, and crossing the heavenly tribulation can ensure that the Yuan God is immortal! Then it depends on whether the body is strong or not, at least it is easier by more than half! It can also be exchanged for a lot of useful things, if this is known, even the true immortals in the sky will also be red-eyed! He hurriedly suppressed his thoughts and opened the topic: "The younger generation wants some essence blood of the golden retriever ape, I don't know if it is possible?"
