Chapter 555: One Fat and One Thin, Two Daoists
When Mu Qianmei and the six people slowly descended the steep mountain road, two fifty or sixty-year-old Taoist priests slowly walked out of Qingyun Guanzhong, one was thin and handsome, and the other was wide and fat, kind and kind, and always seemed to have a smile on his face, giving people a very cordial feeling.
The two walked out of the Taoist temple and stood at the edge of the square, looking at the backs of Mu Qianmei and the others, all with thoughtful expressions.
After a while, the fat Taoist priest spoke:
"Senior brother, in the past, it was normal for one person to succeed in one or two years, but this time there are so many people in Li Yuan Immortal Path who have successfully broken through, do you say there is something wrong over there?"
The thin Taoist priest pondered for a moment before he replied slowly:
"Those who should come and those who shouldn't have come have all come, and it seems that there will be another storm in the outer sky this day."
The fat Taoist priest said with both confusion and surprise:
"What should come and what shouldn't come, isn't there someone in the Li Yuan Immortal Path every year? How much influence can they have? It's only eighty-one people, and their cultivation is not high, how can it affect the situation outside the sky? ”
The thin Taoist priest's eyes kept looking in the direction where Mu Qianmei and the others left, and said with a complicated look in his eyes:
"You also heard it just now, they have people from the Demon Realm, people from Moxianglou, and people from the various alliances of the Li Yuan Immortal Path, it seems that some people have successfully broken through, and the appearance of such a complex group is the first time in more than three thousand years."
"It can be seen that the dormant people over there have all come out, judging from the composition of the people who broke through the pass, it seems that some kind of reconciliation has been reached over there, and the remnants of the fairy world and the remnants of the demon world seem to have coexisted peacefully, otherwise they would not have joined hands to break through the pass and come to the outer heavens."
"Although their current cultivation is not high compared to the Outer Heavens, they are all the best people in the Li Yuan Immortal Path, and they can cultivate to such a level in that environment, which shows that they have a lot of room for growth."
"Did you find out? This time, not only is there a large number of people and the overall cultivation is not low, but these people are not willing to be mediocre, for them, the sky is like a boundless sea, they are all small snakes now, but they are definitely not willing to be a little snake, so one day they may incarnate into a Jiao, or even incarnate into a dragon, at that time, they will take off into the sky, soar for nine days, the sea outside the sky, will be turbulent, huge waves. ”
The fat Taoist priest said in disbelief:
"Is that an exaggeration? Even if they have good talents, but there are many people with good talent in our outer heavens, among their peers, the geniuses of the outer heavens are much stronger than them, at this age, if you want to catch up with those young geniuses outside the sky, I think it is very difficult, how can they fight! ”
The thin Taoist priest patiently explained:
"Cultivation is never the key to success or failure, but the state of mind is. The overall cultivation of the young geniuses outside the sky is indeed higher than them, but the state of mind is far inferior, it is not easy to pass the test of the three levels and stand out from thousands of people, not to mention that they are still people who have gone through the test of life and death, think about it, although there are not many people who have come out of the Li Yuan Immortal Path over the years, but looking back, not all of them have become the generation of grandmasters who founded the sect, especially the Qin Changfeng a thousand years ago, and now they have all become the ancestors of the Sword Sect, and they have become the sixth venerable in addition to the five emperors in the outer heavens. ”
"In the past, there were only one or two who could successfully break through, and even none of them succeeded, but this time there were ninety-nine eighty-one at a time, not to mention that everyone can grow into a generation of grandmasters, even if only one in nine people can start a sect, it is a terrible thing."
The fat Taoist priest still didn't believe it and said:
"If you want to talk about Qin Changfeng, it is also the only one in the past three thousand years, it is an accident, although the achievements of other people are not bad, but they can't affect the overall pattern of the outer heavens, if it is as you said, they can set up nine gangs, but they still can't shake the current pattern and situation of the outer heavens, the five great powers of the outer heavens, the gangs are thousands, and they are just eating on the rivers and lakes, and the addition of nine gangs can change what?"
The thin Taoist priest continued:
"Judging from the phenomenon they showed just now, these nine hundred and eighty-one people, one of them has become the core of everyone, not afraid of many people on the rivers and lakes, not afraid of strong people, just afraid that the group of dragons has a leader, if the strength of the nine gangs formed is not strong, it is okay, if the nine gangs are very strong, and they are the only one, it will be terrible."
The fat Taoist priest thought for a while and said:
"Are you talking about the little girl named Miss Qianmei? From the conversation just now, it can be heard that she just happened to dispel the illusion of the third level, helped those people, and let them successfully break through the level, they may be grateful to her, but after the passage of time, this kindness will slowly fade, how many people can really remember it forever? Those words were just kind words. ”
While the two were talking, the thin Taoist priest finally couldn't see Mu Qianmei and the others anymore, so he turned his head and said:
"I hope so, I also hope that I really think too much, otherwise the sky will be bloody again."
When the fat Taoist priest heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then said curiously:
"In that case, why didn't you just take action to destroy them, but there are people from the Demon Realm among them! Killing everyone on the grounds of eliminating demons and defending the path will nip the hidden danger in the bud? ”
The thin Taoist priest shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"If we cultivators want to conform to the will of Heaven, how can we do such a thing that hurts Heaven and reason! Don't say that this is just my feeling and speculation, even if Qingyun Zhenren is here and can calculate the future, he can't go against the sky, because since God let them pass the test and come here, then this is the will of God. The so-called people of the Demon Realm, since they have reconciled over there, are now just people from the Liuyun Alliance. ”
The fat Taoist priest looked at the thin Taoist priest and said with a smile:
"Isn't it in vain to talk for a long time and do nothing? Now I finally understand why you are always so thin, it is because you think too much, you are too worried, you look at me, I can't think about it so much, I don't bother to think about it, I have to get by, and live happily all day long, so that I can be fat and live happily. ”
This was originally just a few jokes, but the thin Taoist priest nodded very seriously and replied:
"What the junior brother said is very true, this is the real go with the flow, doing nothing and doing nothing, which is the highest state of our Taoism."
The fat Taoist priest laughed and said:
"Haha...... Senior brother, you finally admit that your realm is not as good as mine! ”
The thin Taoist priest smiled silently, and the brows that were slightly furrowed just now were unconsciously stretched.
The fat Taoist priest looked at the empty square and Taoist temple, and sighed and said:
"Every year at this time, our Qingyun Temple has to be completely cleared, so that the entire Taoist Temple has become deserted, I am really not used to it, I think, it's better to be lively, senior brother, or we won't clear the field next year, they will come, and it's not a shameful thing, and you're afraid of being seen?"
The thin Taoist priest did not answer this question, but said lightly:
"We cultivators all want to be quiet, so we will choose to build a Taoist temple in the deep mountains and old forests, you are good, you like to be lively all day long, this is like a cultivator!"
The fat Taoist priest didn't care, so he continued:
"Didn't you just say that you should go with the flow and go with your heart? If I am allowed to practice in retreat alone, not only will I not be able to improve my cultivation, but I will definitely go crazy and become a madman sooner or later. ”
The thin Taoist priest scolded with a smile:
"I don't think you're much different from a madman now, you're crazy all day long, no big or small, and I don't see you cultivating well, there's no one you don't know on this Qingyun Mountain, right?"
The fat Taoist priest replied proudly:
"That is, I have talked to everyone with them, not to mention the priests and miscellaneous servants, even those birds and beasts and flowers and plants, I have chatted with them, I am very familiar, I can not only name the names of thousands of people in Qingyun Temple, and even I have named them flowers and trees, this thing on Qingyun Mountain, as long as you can say it, I can find it, at this point, you are definitely not as good as me, meditate and practice all day long, study those profound and obscure things, think about my head."
"I saw them talking so lively, I wanted to come out and talk to them several times, if you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't want to hide in the dark and watch people talk? It's almost suffocating me. ”
The thin Taoist priest said curiously:
"You don't know them, what are you talking about?"
The fat Taoist priest said with a smile:
"Isn't it true that people are all from strange to familiar? Feel free to talk, you can talk about anything, talk and talk, isn't it familiar? I never want to talk about anything, anyway, when I meet people, I always have something to say, I talk about what comes to mind, and if I think about the topic in advance, how tiring it is! ”
The thin Taoist priest nodded and replied:
"The so-called different paths to the same end, it really makes sense, we have to cultivate quietly, in order to improve our cultivation, you talk to people all day long, and you can even reach this realm, it is indeed enviable!"
The fat Taoist priest looked smug again, and said happily:
"In fact, my heart is also very calm, no matter how noisy the environment, I can also maintain the clarity of my consciousness, when I talk to people, my heart is quiet, I want to say it, I want to do it, I never want to say anything in the next moment, what to do, I will always only live in this moment, in this moment time, I will do what I think, so I am not tired at all."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the thin Taoist priest again, shook his head and said:
"Senior brother thinks too much all day long, often frowns, look at you, not only is you thin, but the wrinkles on your brows are almost bottomless, I feel tired when I look at it."
The thin Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said helplessly:
"If I were like you, then this Qingyun Temple would have been disbanded a long time ago."
The fat Taoist priest blurted out a reply:
"Scatter and disperse, gather and scatter, stay if you want, leave if you want, and leave if you want, people should live freely!"
Thin Taoist priest said:
"If it disperses, won't Qingyun Mountain be lively, who are you talking to?"
The fat Taoist priest replied briskly:
"Where is not lively in the world, as long as I am willing, I will definitely find a lively place and find someone to talk to."
