Qi Wu said confusedly: "This is ......"

The old man said, "Your senior brother." ”

He walked forward, Qi Wufu followed behind, and when he approached, he saw the size of the tomb, which was obviously just a mound of clothes.

Xiao Se was lonely, and he was all blown away by the rain and wind.

A huge impact made the young man's expression solemn.

Many of the previous complicated thoughts were shattered by life and death, and the last problem evolved.

The Dao heart is the purest, and those who seek the Great Dao wholeheartedly will fall in the middle of the Dao, while the rest who are addicted to self-obsession can live for thousands of years.

Why is this so?

The old man leaned over, peeled off the green moss marks that climbed up for the tomb, opened the hidden branches, and revealed the words on it.

Qi Wufu subconsciously recited: "In this life, I have met famous teachers, made friends with heroes, loved relatives, loved Taoist couples, indulged in heaven and earth, all of them went smoothly, but the thirteen hatreds lasted for a long time, and they were endless, which was recorded here." ”

"The first hate, the book bag is easy to decay."

He paused, and subconsciously thought of his senior brother Yuyang, a cultivator who was born as a scholar.

The latter indulged in the ambition of the book, and then indulged in the great desire for fame to be passed on to posterity, and finally could not extricate himself.

"Moth-prone ......"

"The second hatred, the love is deep and shallow, and the beauty has a thin life."

Qi Wufu thought of Senior Sister Yumiao again, and thought of her decision to live and live forever, and always think it was good.

The Taishang vein is not ruthless, but it cannot be attached to demons.

Xuan Zhen has also done this, but he is not obsessed with it.

Qi Wufu gathered his mind and continued to read: "The third hates mosquitoes on summer nights, the fourth hates that the platform is easy to leak, the fifth hates chrysanthemum leaves, the sixth hates pine ants, the seventh hates bamboo and leaves, the eighth hates Guihe Yi Xie, the ninth hates the sob, and the tenth hates the peanut thorn ......."

The things that the previous senior brothers were obsessed with, Xuan Zhen seems to have also.

And it seems like there's more.

It seems that the world of flowers, endless people, all like it, all regret it, the so-called hatred, but it's just because I like it too much, so it's a pity, it's just these words, Qi Wufu seems to have seen that Senior Brother Xuanzhen.

Seeing him laughing and scolding, he hated the words flying around in summer, liked bamboo, but hated to clean the fallen leaves, and loved to raise pine trees, but because of the pine trees, he provoked ants, and the ants were so angry that they ate the house.

Look at its words, as if you see its people.

It seems that in front of the stele, it is not a branch, but a handsome and free Taoist Xuanzhen, who looks at him with a smile and says to his junior brother.

The old man stood in front of Qi Wufu and said, "This is your senior brother, Xuan Zhen." ”

Qi Wu said confusedly: "Senior brother, he ......"

The old man stroked the stele with his palm and replied, "The path has fallen." ”

"Seeking the Tao is not to take a leisurely walk, not to watch the flowers and enjoy the moon, but to take back my life from between heaven and earth, step by step, the road is difficult."

"It's a step-by-step test."

"Xuanmen is on the right path, and when you practice, there are three calamities, seven calamities and eight tribulations."

"The Three Calamities, the Sword Soldiers, the Heart Demons, Heaven and Earth."

"If you seek the way, if you have a sharp weapon in your heart and fight with others."

"Or when the road is uneven, the heart of the Dao is harmonious and draws a sword, fights with others, or the skills are not as good as others, or they are plotted by others, they die and their souls are also dispersed, and they are no longer the swordsmen."

"If the road is uneven, retreat and avoid it; Or do all kinds of things that go against my heart, causing distracting thoughts to arise. ”

"If you want to make a little spiritual light shine on the world, and the self can't be clear and unhindered, how can you shine on the world?"

"Like the winter snow gradually melting, the day does not see its growth, but it accumulates day by day, and finally affects the divine thoughts, the original spirit is mixed, and the cultivation does not retreat, and finally falls."

"This is a demon."

"The catastrophe of heaven and earth is thunder, wind, and fire, because you have taken back your life treasure by yourself, and you have walked out of the innate Qi, and the three flowers gather at the top, which is naturally invited."

"Originally, all living things in the world are like a drop of water in a river, naturally harmonious, and they all belong to the avenue of two in one life, two in three, and three in life. The reverse two is one, which is to gather the top of the three flowers. This is equivalent to fighting against the current, and it will naturally be washed away by the current. ”

"Therefore, practitioners should [see their minds]."

"Only by not being disturbed by external objects can we perceive these calamities."

"Avoid it in advance."

"The thunder strikes the primordial spirit, and the fire burns the body, and as for the wind disaster, it pours in from the acupoints around you, destroying your Taoism and completely turning into ashes. Naturally, there is no malice in this, and from the perspective of the natural operation of heaven and earth, it is just to let you return to the path of three beings and all things. ”

"If you avoid it, you can live a long life, you can't avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you will fall on the spot."

"The soul is scattered, and it returns to the great thousand."

"The Buddhists are sad about the fire and burned them as relics, which is called death; The Daomen was trapped in the wind and turned into dust and passed away, which is called sitting. ”

"As for those who don't follow the right path, the Yuan Shen is dark, and the thoughts are complicated, and even the thunder tribulation can't get through."

"The two veins of Buddhism and Taoism, most of them are just and pure, natural, and there are some great evils and self-only people, and their thoughts are also extremely pure, and they can't be harmed by thunder."

Qi Wufu muttered to himself: "The soul is scattered......"

The old man nodded and said gently, "As for the most ordinary eight tribulations, there is no need to elaborate. ”

"After all, you've already seen it."

Qi Wu said confusedly: "I've already seen it?" ”

His voice paused slightly, as if he had already understood, and said, "It's the senior brother and they......"

The old man's voice replied gently, but it seemed that because of many things he had seen and thought before, he fell into the ears of the young man with some regret: "These eight tribulations are often accompanied by the strength of cultivators, and it is more and more difficult to let go. ”

"There is a mixture of things, first in the world, I don't know how to describe it, call it Tao."

"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, and evolves all things and ten thousand laws, which is the mother of the world."

"And the practice is to be clear in nature, to return to the roots, step by step to the [one], and finally find the road that embraces everything."

"Everything you see now, heaven and earth are all part of the three beings and all things, and they are all right, but they are not what we are looking for, and some cultivators are only immersed in one end of all things in these three beings, and even part of the things that evolve from one of them."

"If you enter a path, you will not extricate yourself."

"It is the so-called way to get a law, a method to get a law in the law, meditate and refine qi, walk and be strong, and boast of being the way."

"When you fall into such a situation, there is no right or wrong in life, and each has its own pursuits; But if we look at it from the point of view of the purpose of pursuing the best avenue in the beginning, this is a great difficulty. ”

"Even the Dao heart is covered with dust and sinks into the eight tribulations."

"What about the three calamities and seven calamities?"

"They...... I don't even have the qualifications to go to the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations. ”

The old man sighed, looked at Xuan Zhen's jade slip again, and said, "And Xuan Zhen, just like the unconfused you at this moment, the Dao heart is pure. ”

"But it is precisely because of this that I will not leave myself a way out, carefree, and only seek the avenue."

"In the end, I practiced, I wanted to seek the best method, I didn't avoid or retreat, I broke through the catastrophe head-on, and encountered the sword and soldier tribulation, the thunder and fire tribulation, and the heart demon calamity."

"Breaking through forty-nine tribulations in a row, after all, I can't do it, and I don't choose to leave my soul and take the path of the Yin God."

"No distracting thoughts, leave no room for others and yourself, and go all out."

"It didn't work out."

"The first three of the soldiers cried out for the Tao, cultivated the Tao, preached the Tao, laughed loudly, and died, and the smoke disappeared."

The old man's sleeve robe brushed over, and the last words on the stone tablet were removed, and the remaining words were revealed, no longer so warm, but suddenly became sharp.

When reading the last three sentences, Qi Wufu suddenly fell silent-

"Eleven hatred, for the sake of proving the avenue, and my heart is not strong."

"Twelve hatreds, only the avenue of evidence, and my god is not pure."

"Thirteen hatreds, the avenue has not been proven, and my body has fallen."

Xuanmen thirteen hates.

There were several words of hatred in a row, but there was no malice at all, only a strong and incomparably regretful thought, pinned on the boundless solidified Dao heart, rising to the sky, startling the old tree jackdaw a few times.

The old man said plainly, but Qi Wufu seemed to be able to see that scene, and he could imagine the heroism and determination of this scene.

Taishang is in the vein, the heart is naturally firm, the divine consciousness is pure, and the hatred and regret are just not enough.

It seems that there is a wind, the clouds in the sky gather and disperse, the wind pressure is very low, after a while, it actually rains, the rain is dripping, and after a while, it has become the scene of the cold mountain of the smoke cage, like a splash of ink in general, the temperature here is warmer than the place where Qi Wufu originally lived, but since it is winter, it is naturally cold rain.

The old man opened a bamboo umbrella in his hand to protect the young man from the rain, took out a pot of wine from his cuff, and placed it in front of the dry grave.

The branches in front of the tomb shook slightly, and the jade slip was still the same as it was back then.

This is the only disciple who has not been withdrawn from the Dao number.

Qi Wufu could feel the old man's sadness.

Qi Wufu still said: "With the teacher's ability, can't you get the senior brother back?" ”

The old man smiled gently: "Get it back? ”

He held an umbrella and motioned for Qi Wufu to follow him, thought for a while, and asked: "Wufu once had a dream, old man, let me ask, if you are an official, and someone cheats for personal gain, what will you do?" ”

Qi Wu said without confusion: "It should be ruled according to the law." ”

The old man said, "So, what if you see someone corrupting the law for personal reasons?" ”

Qi Wu said confusedly: "Be a prisoner." ”

The old man asked, "What do you see someone who kills people for personal reasons?" ”

Qi Wu said confusedly: "It should be beheaded." ”

The old man said gently, "So you understand. ”

"Life and death are the fairest in the world, and the old man will not break such fairness for anyone."

"The teacher is just the person who leads you to the door, pointing out where the road ahead is, and placing expectations on it."

"I put on your clothes, give you a name, and teach you the Tao with expectations, this is just the fate of you and me, it is the [Little Master]."

"Not to take care of the man who is your power."

The old man said:

"All my disciples, falling into the red dust, love network, reincarnation, life and death, I will not save you."

"Only waiting for you to realize."

"You are no different from anyone else in this regard."

The old man walked to the mountain, stopped, he stood in the rain curtain, the rain was majestic, the sky and the earth were dull, the sleeve robe was hanging down, holding an umbrella for the young man, and said gently:

"After all, you are my disciples."

"But all the cultivators in the world are my disciples."
