What is the meaning of life, it depends on what kind of perspective you look at. For Liu Zhi, the meaning of his life is to live a few more years and find a few more women, because he is the emperor, and the entire Han world is his family property.

For those wealthy families, the meaning of life is to help Liu Zhi manage his family property, because they are Liu Zhi's domestic slaves, and in a sense, a large part of this property can also be controlled by them.

For the people, it is simple, the meaning of life is to live, because only by living, they are qualified to think about what is the meaning of life.

Before returning to Master Zi to practice, Zhang Jiao's cognition of life was limited to being alive, and he often even wanted to be a doctor who knew everything in the world, so that everyone would no longer be riddled with illness.

On the first day of returning to the bamboo forest, Zuo Ci was reprimanded by the master, saying that he was not enterprising, but he did not drive him away, but just asked him to spend the robbery in the bamboo forest before leaving.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were very happy with their arrival, and asked Yu Ji to take care of their cultivation, and they could come to him again after the foundation was built.

Zhang Jiao's situation is very embarrassing, because the master's personality is indeed very eccentric, he has been back for three days, and every morning he only asks Zhang Jiao "What do you think is the meaning of life", and then he disappeared. Only let Zhang Jiao sit in the pavilion by himself to understand.

"What do you think is the meaning of life?"

This morning, Zimu really appeared in front of Zhang Jiao again, and asked Zhang Jiao, who was sitting in a daze on the pavilion railing, with a smile on his face.

"Master, it's been three days, why do you keep asking this, no matter what the disciple says, you just leave in two clicks." Zhang Jiao was very dissatisfied with the teacher's free-range education, and was left in this broken pavilion for three days, except for eating or going to the toilet, the master would not let him go anywhere, and let him think about the meaning of life.

"Say it quickly." Zi Mu was not angry, and sat directly on the pavilion railing, looking down at Zhang Jiao.

"The meaning of life is to find a good teacher who is responsible." Zhang Jiao's yin and yang became angry.

"The meaning of life is to experience." Zimu has a very strange temper, and it is difficult to make him angry when he is in a good mood, so he didn't pay attention to Zhang Jiao's whining, but began to get serious.

As soon as he heard what the master said, Zhang Jiao hurriedly sat on the ground on the side, looking at the teacher with a straight eye, looking like a good student.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm going to teach you how to understand the Fa. Zi Mu looked at Zhang Jiao with a very strange look.

"Listen to your students."

"But aren't you more comfortable sitting here? Come on, this kid is a little stupid. ”

“…？” Zhang Jiao sat back on the railing with a dark face, and even half-lay on the pillar, looking a little hanging.

"That's right, and let me continue. Alas? Where did I just go? Zimu, who looked like a young man, looked at Zhang Jiao and was very satisfied, nodded, and wanted to continue, but forgot what he had just said.

"You said that life is about experience." Zhang Jiao suddenly felt that the master was very unreliable, and he was not even as reliable as the senior brother.

"Ah yes, I talked about life being experienced, so I'm done, is there anything you don't understand?" Zimu nodded and asked back Zhang Jiao.

"I... What to experience? Zhang Jiao's face was black.

"This question is a good question, the meaning of life lies in the experience, experience how yin and yang alternate, how the sun and moon rise, how to fall, how the wind blows, how the rain falls, how the mountains and rivers are majestic, how the rivers, lakes and seas are surging, experience the taste of the five grains, the beauty of the five colors, the pleasantness of the five sounds, the infinity of human desires, the infinity of life and death, so, can be described as the meaning of life." After Zimu finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Jiao with a smile.

"This ...... Isn't that all basic? Zhang Jiao was stunned and felt that the teacher was talking nonsense.

"The most basic thing you can't answer yet, besides, these are all Dao fires, the stronger the Dao fire, the stronger your Qi will be. Have you experienced it? For example, let me ask you, how does yin and yang alternate? ”

"Yin flourishes and yang declines, yang flourishes and yin declines, yin and yang blend but coexist and coexist."

"You only know what it is, but you don't know why. Yin and yang are the beginning of all things and the soul of all things. Let me ask you a question, once upon a time there was a farmer in Lu who picked up a frozen snake in winter, and the farmer warmed it in his arms, but the snake woke up and bit the farmer. In this way, the farmer and the serpent are good and evil. ”

"The farmer is good, the snake is evil." Zhang Jiao did not hesitate.

"The farmer, in disregard of the laws of heaven and earth, disturbs the winter hiding of the snake, and the snake will die because of it. If so, then the farmer is evil. The so-called yin and yang are also like the good and evil, transforming each other. The so-called great love can be great hatred, great wisdom can be great foolishness, the so-called selflessness is also selfishness, transience is eternal, death is like life, these are all yin and yang. It is also the way that you want to experience and realize. Zi Mu said leisurely.

"......" Zhang Jiao was silent, as if he was having an epiphany.

"You just put too many shackles on yourself before, and you ignored the avenue of yin and yang of heaven and earth. And if you want to be enlightened, you have to be free, the freedom of the body, and the freedom of the mind. The next stage of your foundation building realm is the Merge Dao realm, where you need to choose one of your own Dao methods among the thousands of avenues, and then experience and realize it. Zi Mu got up slowly and stretched in the pavilion.

"Senior brother, what did they choose? And Teacher, what path did you choose? Zhang Jiao asked again.

"Zuo Ci's kid doesn't want to realize the Dao method, he thinks about cultivation every day, thinking that when the technique reaches the profound, he will be able to better realize the Dao, although this is not a method, but it is also dangerous, so I often beat him, you must know that heaven and earth keep one, the stronger the technique, the stronger the restriction of heaven and earth."

"Now that the Qi in his body has turned into liquid, hidden in his body, it can be regarded as another system, it can be called the Xuanye Realm, which is almost the same as the Hedao Realm. If the technique is one step deeper, it is necessary to condense the whole body into a golden pill, which can be described as difficult, nine deaths and a lifetime, and it is easy to be eaten by the technique. But if it is successfully condensed, it is equivalent to crossing the mortal realm and entering the realm of ascending to the truth. Let's call it the Jindan Realm. ”

"Yu Ji chose the way of good and evil, so he often walks in the world, and now the way of good and evil is perfect, and he can enter the mortal realm at any time."

"As for me, heaven and earth are born together with me, all things are one with me, all ways are clear, in order to ascend to the true realm, the next step is to transcend the realm." After Zi Mu finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiao again.

"Teacher, I am a little doctor, I want to choose the path of life and death, can I also walk the world often like Senior Brother Yu?" Zhang Jiao thought of his parents at home and Guo Jie who was waiting for him, and his heart was warm.

"Yes, but remember, you can experience it, and you can't indulge in it." Zi Mu nodded and said.

"I want to learn more about healing." Zhang Jiao spoke, he felt that the master must have a more powerful technique here than Zhu Youshu.

"You must know that the skill is strong, although the ability is strong, but it is very easy for people to drill the tip of the horns, so that the fire of the Tao is tempered, it is better to be practical to understand the Tao." Zimu didn't want to teach.

"Teacher, I'm not afraid, I'm very determined!" Zhang Jiao smiled, patted his chest, and said cheekily!

Zi Mu glanced at him, he clearly knew how this little disciple he loved the most died, if he hadn't saved him from the hundreds of years of Taoism, he wouldn't have to be trapped in this bamboo forest.

Zi Mu clearly remembered that in order to save him, he reversed the power of time, broke the rules of heaven and earth, rescued his soul fire, and released him when he first met him when he was a teenager. Then I was trapped in this place of nothingness.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too soft-hearted and unwilling, he would have already transcended the universe and returned to the source.

"Alas... The momentum of heaven and earth is irreversible... You should use it sparingly. Let's teach you a few simple ones. Zi Mu sighed slowly, it seems that this disciple has chosen the same path as last time, he did not teach him Zhu Youshu in this life, but Yu Ji taught him. It's a pity that I can't remind you out loud, otherwise the world will collapse and it will instantly return to the ending of Zhang Jiao's death.

Zimu always wanted to change Zhang Jiao's ending, but he began to feel that there seemed to be a kind of doom in the dark, and it seemed that he had to find a way to crack it, so he taught Zhang Jiao the technique he hadn't learned before, wanting to see if there would be any changes.

Master Zhuang taught Zhang Jiao three advanced techniques, bone transformation, internal vision and spiritual vision.

Osteopathy can be used for two purposes, one is to treat the bones and joints in the human body, and the other is to reconstruct the image of the person before death from the corpse.

Internal vision is perspective, which is mainly to see the human bones and the meridians in the body.

The Spirit Eye Technique is an important experience path for Zhang Jiao to choose the path of life and death, and he can open an invisible eye at the center of the person's eyebrows, and he can see the soul body clearly.

So Zhang Jiao devoted himself to cultivating for a while, hoping to cultivate these techniques a little more powerful, so that he would not be restricted by heaven and earth, and secondly, he would be able to walk in the world to heal and cure diseases.

To Zi Mu's surprise, the magic and thunder techniques that were not taught to Zhang Jiao in this life were also taught to him by Zuo Ci and Yu Ji in the bamboo forest, so Zi Mu sighed, there seemed to be an invisible big hand in the dark to silently set things right, and it seemed that he had to think of other ways to prevent the incident from happening.

The practice in the bamboo forest seems to have no concept of time, although there is also the rotation of day and night, you can see the movement of the sky and stars, but you can't always go out, this is like a small world, when you ask the master, he also sighed leisurely, only said that this place no longer belongs to the original world, although he can let others in and out, but he can no longer go out.

Yu Ji, who heard this, was very puzzled, because there was no such thing before he sent his junior brother, Yu Ji felt that something terrible should have happened in the past three months, so that the master was trapped.

After Zuo Ci heard Zhang Jiao's report, he didn't say a word in the retreat place, and looked at Zhang Jiao for a long time with a bright and dark expression, as if he understood something, but he didn't say a word.

As for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's cultivation progress, it was very fast, especially Zhang Liang, he was young, but he was the fastest one to cultivate Qi, and soon he Zhang Liang also reached a bottleneck, which was a sign that the foundation was about to be built.

So the master asked Yu Ji to take them out to cultivate their minds, and Zhang Jiao's technique was almost cultivated, and they could walk the world together.
