Without thinking, a little vitality sprouts and confides, there is not only the tranquility of silence, but also the vividness of all things, the soul is one in this, the true spirit is empty, and the underworld is created, just like a baby is born.

The first time I opened my eyes to see the outside world, the breeze blew through the lotus pond, the water rippled, the fragrance penetrated the bones, and people couldn't help but indulge in it.

However, Zhao Huang became sober because of this, and when he breathed lightly, he found himself in the lotus pond, surrounded by leaves, several full white lotus flowers in full bloom, and the subtle medicinal power of Zhao Huang soaked Zhao Xiao's body, enriching the hundred veins.

"Are you awake? Does your body still hurt? At this time, a yellow-bellied and black-winged bird landed among the flowers and leaves of the lotus pond, and its mouth was spoken, with a crisp voice and a cordial tone, like a messenger boy.

"You are ......" Zhao Xiao could see that this lotus pond was full of vitality and had the power of healing wounds, and it was only arranged in the blessed land of the immortal family at a glance. And this spitting messenger bird should also be a spirit bird raised by the masters of the fairy family.

"My name is Yu Zhang, the feather of feathers, the chapter of articles." The messenger bird kept spitting out words: "The real person in charge said that the birds were the messengers of the immortal family to the mortals when there was a flood in ancient times. Those birds that follow the immortal family all the year round are also contaminated with a bit of immortal energy, and their feathers have become gorgeous and extraordinary, and there will even be a sign of the phoenix chapter and bird seal, which can go back and forth freely between the cave and the earthly world, and even replace the immortal family to lead the earthly heirs to rise. The real person in charge gave me this name, which is to place this expectation on me! ”

This messenger bird said a lot in one breath, if it weren't for Zhao Xiao's keen mind, it is estimated that he would not be able to understand it immediately, and he instinctively wanted to verify with Ling Xiao.

But with the same thoughts, Zhao Xiao woke up in shock, Ling Xiao had already gone to the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion, and he was blocked by Jing Zhen's sword light and fell into the dust. But at the last minute, it seems that someone came to the rescue.

"What is this place?" Zhao Xiao hurriedly asked.

Yu Zhang replied, "This is the Ten Thousand Ancient Lotus Pond on the Xuanzhao Peak of Tiancheng Mountain. ”

"Amagi Mountain? This is Amagi Mountain? Zhao Xiao's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood who he was rescued.

"Let you pass the word, but it turns out to be a lot of Rory." A gust of wind blew through the lotus pond, and between the flowers and leaves, although Han Yuanzi was not seen, his voice came with the wind: "Xiao Yuzhang, I will punish you for half a month not to fall or speak." ”

Yuzhang flapped his wings and flew up, and was begging for mercy, but after a few chirps, he immediately stopped speaking, as if his throat was blocked, and he couldn't scream anymore.

"There are clothes on the shore, let's follow Yuzhang after changing." Han Yuanzi said.

Zhao Xiao did not hesitate and got up from the lotus pond and went ashore. He found that his injuries had not only healed, but also that he had made great progress in refining his form, and he had unconsciously refined his body as a half-immortal, and his skin and bones were shining with golden jade. And the originally elusive Xuangen fate seems to be able to be grasped, and there is a faint sign of contaminating a fetal immortal!

With a stomach full of confusion, Zhao Xiao changed into a simple cloth clothes and straw shoes, and followed the messenger bird to a mountain farmhouse, a simple fence surrounded a garden, planted not Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, is ordinary rice grass, but there are many ears, full of grains.

I saw Han Yuanzi in the hemp robe and Ge Lu squatting in the garden to take a look, turned his head to look at Zhao Huang, and signaled: "You go into the house to sit, Xiao Yuzhang will stay elsewhere by himself, and reflect on it." ”

Yu Zhang was a little depressed, so he had to fly away obediently. Seeing this, Zhao Xiao glanced at the garden a few times, bypassed the fence and entered the farmhouse, which was furnished like an ordinary farmhouse, but it was more plain.

Han Yuanzi fiddled in the garden for a while, cut a handful of rice ears into the house, he saw Zhao Xiao standing still, and said with a smile: "What? Can't sit down without a warm couch? ”

Zhao Xiao is not a child of a wealthy family, he is not used to it all of a sudden, because the person in front of him is the head of Shangjing Sect, and he has the cultivation realm of connecting the immortal road, which can be called one of the pinnacles of Kunlun, and his words and deeds are inevitably a little restrained.

Han Yuanzi pulled over a wooden pier and sat down, full of rural peasants, Zhao Huang out of caution, or asked: "Isn't the predecessor Han Yuanzi, the head of Shangjing Sect?" ”

"It's me, yes." Han Yuanzi nodded and said with a smile: "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, think about it slowly and ask slowly." Anyway, you and I had expected this meeting, but the cause was slightly variable. ”

Zhao Xiao pondered for a while, and also found a wooden pier in the house to sit down, and asked, "Did my predecessors save me in Dunjia Mountain before?" ”

"Exactly." Han Yuanzi counted the rice ear grains in his hand, and said at the same time: "During the days when you were preparing to open the door to the cave in Dunjia Mountain, the Rising Sun Divine Sect had trouble in various places, and the Four Immortal Princes led all the people to assist the imperial officers and soldiers to calm the chaos.

Originally, everything was decided, and there was no need for me to interfere. But an accident happened halfway through. Emperor Ruiding, that is, the Emperor of the end of Tianxia, who is said to have come back from the dead, suddenly appeared. Xia Huanggong was defeated in the battle with him and was seriously injured, so he could only return to Tiancheng Mountain to retreat and recuperate. ”

"Emperor Ruiding?" Zhao Xiao remembered the noble man who appeared before: "Could it be that the person who wants to break through the Cave Heaven Portal is Emperor Ruiding?" ”

"That's him." Han Yuanzi stroked Suihe lightly, and the rice was threshed: "I suspect that he is not Emperor Ruiding himself at all, but an alien who has taken away his body." This person has high skills, and the means he uses are not the method of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao.

Shangjingzong was unstoppable for a while, and asked this Ruiding Emperor to reconvene the remnants of the Rising Sun Divine Sect and conquer the city. Seeing that the situation had changed, I had no choice but to take action personally, and He Qingchen was responsible for deploying troops and dispatching generals, which could be regarded as curbing a chaos. ”

"Then Emperor Ruiding didn't sense the Cave Heaven Portal, so he came to Dunjia Mountain?" Zhao Xiao asked.

While Han Yuanzi was picking up the rice, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This time I missed the calculation, originally I was fighting with Emperor Ruiding, and I had already forced him into a desperate situation." As a result, he resorted to Li Daitao's means and fled directly from the battlefield.

I suspect that the extraterrestrial alien in Emperor Ruiding's skin has long been considered a good time...... Oh, you can probably guess that he has a close relationship with the Thousand Machines Spirit Moment, and it is through this thing that he senses the changes in the area of Dunjia Mountain, and at the last moment, he goes straight to the portal of the Cave Heaven. ”

Zhao Xiao sighed: "I arranged a forbidden seal for the Thousand Machines in advance, but it still didn't work. ”

"Today's Ruiding Emperor is not easy to match, and it is not surprising that you have miscalculated." Han Yuanzi spread his hands: "In other words, that foreign object outside the sky has also taken more than a hundred years to lay out, and it is not easy to force him to such a risky level." ”

Zhao Xiao pondered for a long time, and his expression was solemn: "But ......"

Han Yuanzi rubbed all the rice grains in his hands, then gently blew away the rice husks, and said with a smile: "But all this is blocked by that mysterious cave, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Xiao asked: "The predecessor is a master of the Immortal Family, so he must know what is going on. ”

"I don't dare boast in front of you." Han Yuanzi said with a smile: "I only saw a sword light emitting from the cave sky, which is clearly to block all offenders. What is the reason for such a cave fairyland that makes you come all the way to explore it for yourself? ”

Zhao Xiao hung his head and was silent, Han Yuanzi patted his thigh and got up and said, "It's not uncommon for anyone to have secrets that they don't want to talk about." ”

Han Yuanzi grabbed a handful of freshly husked rice, turned around and came to the stove in the house, sprinkled the rice into the kettle, added two scoops of water, and then lit a fire to cook.

Zhao Xiao looked at this master of the world, who was very skilled in cooking, and he couldn't see the slightest immortal atmosphere on his body, which was completely different from Liang Tao, and different from Hong Xueke, who seemed to be vulgar in words but was actually crazy in temperament.

After a while, a pot of sticky porridge was boiled in the kettle, and Hanyuanzi was scooped into a pottery bowl, and handed it to Zhao Xiao: "Try the taste." ”

Zhao Xiao took the pottery bowl and was slightly stunned, Han Yuanzi also held a bowl himself, seeing him like this, he said with a smile: "I easily don't invite others to eat and drink, although it is not a mountain and sea delicacies, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and there is no dance and music to help the fun, and the house is full of friends, but you can give some face." ”

Zhao Xiao had to bow his head and drink porridge when he heard this, and he was not afraid of the heat, so he directly poured half a bowl into his mouth.

"How?" Han Yuanzi also took a few sips.

"After boiling, the rice grains are still full, the soup is thick, and it is slightly sweeter after entering the stomach." Zhao Xiao replied seriously.

Han Yuanzi shook the pottery bowl and said: "Your breath is not like drinking porridge, but like tasting fine wine." ”

"Am I not right?" Zhao Xiao didn't understand the other party's true intentions.

Han Yuanzi had to say: "This is just a bowl of porridge, compared to the color, fragrance and taste, whether it can satisfy hunger and hunger is the key." ”

"I've been able to eat gas." Zhao Xiao then said.

Han Yuanzi nodded again and again: "Yes, you can, but ordinary people under the mountain can't do it." ”

Only then did Zhao Xiao react: "Did the predecessors choose Jiahe to plant, hoping to relieve the suffering of the people's hunger?" ”

"A little bit of try, it's better than nothing." Han Yuanzi said: "I opened up this small garden on the mountain, just to take advantage of the clear air of Tiancheng Mountain to make the rice ears and grains nourished. In the future, if we plant seedlings all over the mountain, we may be able to collect more food. ”

"Tiancheng Mountain is a blessed land for the immortals, not comparable to the earthly world." Zhao Xiao said.

"Of course." Han Yuanzi drank the porridge, put down the pottery bowl and said: "And the land is fat and thin, the amount of water sources, and the cultivation and watering are all related to the harvest results, as for the sunny and rainy season, it depends on the will of God." ”

Zhao Xiao looked down at the pottery bowl and asked, "The senior seems to be quite familiar with farming?" ”

"Of course." Han Yuanzi said very proudly: "I was also a cropper man who dragged a rake and a plow. ”

Zhao Xiao was slightly surprised, he had seen those who were proud of their backgrounds, and he had also seen those who flaunted their status as a teacher, but it was the first time he had seen someone regard the birth of a farmer as an honor.

"Look at me like this, do you think I'm unreasonable?" Han Yuanzi asked.

"The words and deeds of the predecessors are unfathomable." Zhao Xiao said.

Han Yuanzi stared at Zhao Xiao for a long time, his eyes were not sharp, but plain and sincere.

"The people who work as farmers in the world plough the land into acres, channel the rivers for irrigation, identify the grass and crops, and protect their vitality in the wind and rain. Compared with the mana of the Immortal Family, it may not be profound. Han Yuanzi said earnestly.

Zhao Huang was speechless for a while, he was not shocked when he heard this, but completely overwhelmed, Han Yuanzi's words were far beyond his past knowledge.

For Zhao Xiao, he is well aware of the hard work of farmers and is willing to help in any way he can.

But now looking back, Zhao Xiao may have a little hidden thought in his heart, and he sees his actions of helping the people as a condescending attitude, but he didn't notice it in the past.

This kind of wishful thinking and self-righteousness may just prompt Zhao Xiao to act blindly and recklessly in order to achieve something, and eventually harm others and himself, affecting the common people.

"Is this the reason why the predecessors let Shangjingzong get involved in the world in a big way?" Zhao Huang asked: "I hope that the disciples of the sect will walk in the red dust and understand the difficulties of the people's livelihood." ”

"It's not." Han Yuanzi replied: "As the head of the Shangjing Sect, I don't agree with the people of the sect who are involved in the world so much, I just didn't stop it, because I don't know what to do right." As for realizing that the livelihood of the people is difficult, isn't it difficult for a group of immortal disciples who have not cultivated much to do this kind of thing? ”

Zhao Xiao's mouth opened slightly, among the people of the Shangjing Sect he knew, his concern for the Hongchen world was far more than that of the monks of the Huaxu Kingdom. In comparison, the children of the Chongxuan Pavilion Immortal Blood Yin family are simply hopelessly erosive.

And such a doorman, in Han Yuanzi's words, is also "not much human", and he does not hide his derogatory meaning.

"Those who cultivate immortals, after all, have to give up earthly and mundane thoughts......"

Before Zhao Xiao finished speaking, Han Yuanzi grabbed Bai and said: "I don't know when the trend arose, it seems that the immortal family must stay away from the world, and must not move the slightest earthly thought, and devalue the world, as if if you can't show the transcendent realm of the fairy family if you don't do this." Forcibly abandoning the world is not necessarily the right way. ”

"The turbidity of the world is churning, and it is not beneficial to the cultivation of truth, which is the consensus of the world." Zhao Xiao said.

"Oh, at this point again? At this time, don't mention giving up vulgar thoughts? Han Yuanzi smiled: "I want to ask, what do you mean by vulgarity?" Are those so-called ordinary people? ”

Zhao Xiao couldn't answer again, if it was Lingxiao, there might be an answer at this moment, but now only he was left.

"In my opinion, even if you jump outside Liuhe, there are all kinds of life and death battles, and there are all kinds of power and calculations, but it is just another human vulgar who wears the name of an immortal." Han Yuanzi said: "In this way, no matter where you are, you will actually have to face all kinds of dust and fate. ”

Zhao Xiao couldn't help asking: "If there is still no peace after the ascension and detachment, then where is the quiet inaction that the Xuanmen Immortal Dao seeks?" ”

"As far as I can see, everything in the world is already uncertain, life and death are endless, and blindly insisting on quiet inaction, tranquility and detachment is also a kind of biased delusion." Han Yuanzi said:

"Unclear stillness can't stop turbidity, the mind is turbulent, can't see everything as it is, and there is no way to deal with the world.

But it is not vivid and cannot last long, stubbornly and quietly beyond the dust, the true spirit is stuck in silence, and it is better to survive than to die. What's more, in the face of sudden drastic changes, it is difficult to have the opportunity to adapt to the situation.

If you ask me where I am quiet and inactive, I can't tell you that this kind of thing can't be asked, and my comprehension may not be able to enlighten you, so you can only rely on yourself to slowly cultivate. ”
