Chapter 883: The Temple asked
There were too many things to say, and in the end, Chen Gong didn't know what he said, and after finishing speaking, his originally suppressed and troubled mood was actually much lighter.
The sword spirit left in the morning mist, and after Chen Gongmu saw her leave, he also turned around and stepped out, plunging into the idol and disappearing.
Chen Gong's one-night conversation with the sword spirit did not change anything about him, the sword spirit could not bring him any ideological enlightenment, but he felt that he was much more relaxed, and the long-term depression was greatly relieved, which made his originally depressed and anxious heart slowly calm down and began to reflect on everything about himself.
No matter whether a person is heinous or simple and kind in the outside world, in the dead of night, he will definitely think of the past that he has never thought about in his daily life, and among these past events, there may be many memories that have been buried many years ago, or unforgettable, or like smoke.
In the dead of night, listen to the rain, listen to the wind, listen to Lin Xiao, when you don't think about it, there will be many things you don't want to think about.
The sword spirit walked in the morning mist, and it was extremely difficult for those who didn't know to see that her body was a soul body. There are very few ghosts like her who can walk freely between heaven and earth, and most of them are just attached to some spiritual statues to absorb yin qi or incense power.
She left the mountain temple of Tianjian Peak and walked directly towards the Linjian Ancestral Hall, in the morning mist, she walked quietly and quietly, without a trace of popularity, so quiet that it seemed to be floating.
However, when she walked to the Linjian Ancestral Hall, she suddenly stopped and looked up at the top of the ancestral hall.
On the top of the ancestral hall sat a man, dressed in Taoist costume, carrying a peachwood sword on his back and a black gourd hanging from his waist, looking to be in his thirties.
When he saw the sword spirit coming, he didn't speak, he directly pulled out the black gourd, pointed the mouth of the gourd at the sword spirit, and said, "Collect." ”
The sword spirit turned around and wanted to leave, but as if it had no power to resist, it was sucked in by the black gourd like a morning mist. The Taoist patted the roof, rose up, stepped on the morning mist, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
But just above the roof where he left, a black mist slowly appeared, slowly condensing into a person, who was the sword spirit. She just frowned and looked in the direction where the Taoist had disappeared, and then sank into the ancestral hall.
She knew that this Taoist was a ghost-hunting Taoist who wandered around the world, known as a ghost-hunting Taoist who traveled the world with a sword and a sword. This ghost-hunting person does not refer to a single person, but to a group of people who may not know each other but do the same thing.
The sword spirit has walked in this world for many years, and naturally she has encountered many ghost hunters, and even in this Linjian Ancestral Hall, she has encountered it more than once.
Chen Gong returned to Tianjian Peak from Tiankui Peak and began to meditate, not caring about the worldly affairs of this Void Immortal Continent. But between heaven and earth, it was like being hit by the Xuanwu God, and the chaotic fire was ignited.
After Jun Wei left Tiankui Peak, she did not go back to Shu Mountain, but challenged everywhere on the Void Immortal Continent, a remote light sword, it was difficult to find an opponent, whether it was the god of mountains or the god of rivers, under her remote light sword, it was extremely powerless.
The gods can borrow the power of mountains and rivers, but in front of her, they can't stop her clean and cold remote light sword at all.
Every time she fought, she stood still above the clouds, waving her hand and sending out a white light, no matter what was in front of her, she couldn't stop that white light, and the power of mountains and rivers was easily pierced like tofu under that sword light.
The sword in Jun Wei's hand let many people who don't know Shu Mountain know that there is a Shu Mountain in this world, and they know that there is a woman named Jun Wei in Shu Mountain.
Of course, Chen Gong didn't know what she was doing, he was now a silent statue of a god during the day, and at night he sat on the threshold of the temple and watched the starry sky.
Regarding everything outside, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, always thinking about whether Bai Yue could survive in that tower, and thinking that if his cultivation could recover a little more, he shouldn't have escaped so embarrassed. But when I thought that the Xuanwu Great God was so powerful, the spiritual power of the entire Guxiao Mountain Range was all in one, and it was still difficult to escape the suppression of the Golden Pagoda on the Kui Peak that day.
It's just that in his heart, there have always been doubts, if he also has such a high mana, it is absolutely impossible to be accepted by the Golden Pagoda so easily, there is no reason why the Xuanwu God will be suppressed so easily, and Bai Yue's current thunder escape technique is extremely clever, if she wants to leave, how can she be easily accepted.
Now that I think about it, it's not just Chen Gong who can't figure it out, but many people can't figure it out.
As long as every living being opens his mind, he will have questions about the things in heaven and earth, and perhaps when he can answer all the questions in heaven and earth one day, he will become an all-knowing saint.
Chen Gong has what he thinks, Zhu Toushan naturally has his questions, these days, he has been thinking about a question, he has been thinking about it for a long time and has not gotten an answer, and asked the shell, still not got a clear answer, these days, he found that Chen Gong seems to have received a lot of affection, no longer seems irritable, he finally couldn't help but ask Chen Gong who was sitting there: "Mountain God, what do you say this soul is?"
Chen Gong didn't answer him immediately, he still sat there, looking at the starry sky and looking at the mountains, and Zhu Toushan didn't dare to ask again, just kept turning next to Chen Gong.
When he thought that Chen Gong hadn't heard it at all, and wanted to find another chance to ask, Chen Gong suddenly said: "The soul is the first thing that all living beings have, it is conceived and grown together with the physical body of living beings, and it is inseparable. ”
"Isn't that spirit ghost without a physical body?" Zhu Toushan said that the spirit ghost naturally referred to the sword spirit, he asked quickly, obviously this sentence lingered on his lips for a long time.
Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "The aura of a person's physical body dissipates, and after the vitality is extinguished, the soul will also decay and dissipate into nothingness. And some of the physical bodies died, but the souls did not dissipate but survived, which shows that his thoughts and minds were too strong during his lifetime. ”
"Thoughts, what are ideas, why do thoughts not disperse when they are strong?" Zhu Toushan asked quickly.
Chen Gong was still sitting motionless, but Zhu Toushan knew that his mountain god must be thinking about his own problem this time, and sure enough, after a while, Chen Gong said: "Ideas are acquired products, and they are a person's thoughts. As a person comes into contact with more things, his mind is constantly changing and growing. Some people die with strong and strong minds, and some die with loose minds and weak minds. I've heard that in ancient times, there were people who had strong minds and their bodies were cut into several pieces, and they were able to not die, which is probably the effect of thoughts. ”
Zhu Toushan didn't follow the question this time, but was thinking, and said after a while: "I heard that the person who was cut into several sections was immortal because he cultivated powerful supernatural powers. ”
This kind of question is not unique to Zhu Toushan, but a question that every living being will have after embarking on the path of cultivation. Some people seek answers on their own and don't figure it out until they die, and some people ask people who are better than themselves when they can't find the answers.
Chen Gong should be regarded as a person whose cultivation is low, but his realm and understanding are extremely high, so he can give a proper answer to Zhu Toushan's question.
Chen Gong thought for a while and replied, "There are so many living beings in the world, but why are some of them able to fly to the sky and the earth, and some of them can only live a mediocre life?"
Zhu Toushan didn't think about it, and blurted out: "This is caused by the difference in chance and understanding, how can you be so tolerant if you want to practice, every living being is different, so whether you can practice or not, the things you practice will be different." ”
"That is to say, in the same heaven and earth, there will be people who have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation, and they will cultivate profound supernatural powers because of their understanding. But in the past 10 million years, you have heard of a few people who have been decapitated and survived. We can't, and none of those people before have heard of anyone who can do it, why is that?" Chen Gong asked as he replied.
The shell didn't know when it came to the mountain temple, and stood quietly on the side under the sparse starlight. Zhu Toushan tilted his head and didn't know how to answer, Chen Gong didn't look at him, as if he was taking care of himself: "Because people are different, it's not because of supernatural powers." It should be said that what kind of heart there is, what kind of person will cultivate what kind of supernatural powers. I think that a person can only exert his greatest power if he chooses the supernatural powers that suit his or her own nature. ”
Zhu Toushan was still silent, thinking about Chen Gong's words, at this time he had already begun to fall into what Chen Gong said, and he couldn't ask questions as he had time before.
Chen Gong didn't care, just continued: "In other words, a person's body and soul are perfectly combined to form an independent small world. When we come to this world, we slowly develop consciousness, and this consciousness slowly grows, and it grows and grows, and it dominates the body, but when the body ages and dies, the consciousness still does not die, it still wants to live. When the physical body is gone, it is attached to the soul and wants to continue to exist, but the soul is conceived together with the physical body, and when the physical body is gone, the soul disappears, and only some powerful consciousness can bind the soul so that it will not disperse. ”
Although Chen Gong was answering Zhu Toushan's question, he was also sorting out his own perception since his cultivation, and he felt that his Heavenly Dao comprehension seemed to be chiseled open by Zhu Toushan's question, and a faint starlight drilled into the gap, like a great avenue, but it was so mysterious.
Zhu Toushan didn't ask any more questions, he looked at Chen Gong, who seemed to have fallen into a state of trance, and only heard Chen Gong still say unhurriedly: "Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, man is a small world, the tangible body is yang, and the invisible soul is yin, constituting a complete and harmonious body. For those of us who cultivate the path of immortals, the fundamental purpose of our cultivation is to live forever. If you want to live forever, you have to keep your body intact and never grow old and die. Therefore, there are various cultivation methods between heaven and earth that swallow the vitality of heaven and earth and merge into themselves. This is to prevent the physical body from aging, and at the same time, various spells have appeared, which is to damage the physical body so that he does not get hurt in the battle. ”
Chen Gong sat there motionless, the mountain temple at the foot of the mountain was quiet between heaven and earth, he was now regarded as the mainstream part of the cultivators on this Void Immortal Continent, after all, there were many creatures on the Void Immortal Continent that had lost their bodies and could still exist between heaven and earth.
At this time, Shell suddenly asked, "Mountain God, what are you now?"
