Qingtian Taoist priest and two apprentices fled in front, and thousands of fishermen in the back chased after them, and they refused to let go after running seven or eight miles.

The two little children fell to the ground tired, panting, and Xuan Yi said angrily: "Master! Why don't you use spells, what wind, move the ground, move mountains, just make a move, and you don't have to tire us like this! ”

"Hey, it's not that you said that you want to practice divine skills and become the head of the gods and men of the Six Realms. Master, this is the beauty of adults, exercise your skills! ”

"Master, you always use crooked reasoning to deceive me. What's the use of this escape, the donkey and horse of the camel are running around all day long, and they haven't seen the magic skills. You should be generous and pass on to us a few things about the magic skills in your stomach that are not passed on, so that you are a good master. ”

"Okay, Master Dafang, I'll teach you the skills now. Come, don't lie down, sit in the shade under the tree. ”

……

The wind is beautiful and the spring breeze is refreshing. Under the big willow tree, the three of them found a soft meadow and sat cross-legged.

The two little boys wanted to learn skills, and with the same happy look on their faces, the Taoist said: "It's a good season, and today I will start teaching you skills." Learn art before learning people, and learn the law before opening your mind. Before you learn the skills, you need to know what all things are and what is practice. ”

"Everything? In this world, the six worlds of the underworld, ghosts, people, immortals, Hongmeng, and the Tao are separated from the six worlds, isn't it everything in all things? The so-called cultivation is not to build a foundation for Nayuan, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and finally fly immortals in the flesh and become a reality. What else is there to talk about here? Xuan replied quickly.

"This is known to mortals, not the truth. I tell you today about the original Six Realms. The general term for everything in the universe is called all things, what the eyes can see and cannot see, what the ears can hear and cannot hear, entities or imaginary thoughts, and what the six senses can know or cannot know, all become all things. All things originate from emptiness, and emptiness is another name for the Tao, and it is also a state that the Tao can describe. And the so-called cultivation is actually just a pile of sand to make a city, fishing for the moon in the water, adding an empty dream, and in the end you will get nothing. ”

"Ahh Nothing? So why fix it? Xuanyi and Xuantian straightened up at the same time, puzzled.

"Although it is an empty dream, it is necessary to enter into a dream. It's like when an enemy comes to attack, you take up a weapon to defend against the enemy, and when you send the enemy away, you will naturally lay down your weapon. This weapon against the enemy is cultivation. When you can't control yourself, you can only rely on cultivation to ward off enemies, but when you don't have enemies, you naturally have to let go of your cultivation. ”

"Oh. When the master said so, I understood. The master said that the mind and fantasy are also all things, so what is the true nature of the mind? All things originate from the void, and the cultivation of the Tao is the cultivation of the void, can there be a way to prove this void or the Tao? Xuanyi asked again.

"Thoughts seem to be ungraspable or tangible, but in fact, like the plants and trees in front of us, there is also soil suitable for it to grow. Practitioners call the mind spiritual consciousness, which can be attached to the soul and is formed by the interaction of very small fluctuations. Many Taoist priests, shamans, and celestials specialize in spiritual consciousness, and they can travel the universe at will, occupy other people's souls at will, and even change other people's memories at will. But just as the grass and trees cannot leave the soil, the spiritual consciousness cannot leave the soul for too long, otherwise it will be annihilated into nothingness. As for the Tao and the void, what is visible does not need to be proved, and what is not seen does not need to be proved. ”

"I see, what a void we are! The body is a false shell, the soul is a false shell, and spiritual consciousness is the foundation of my existence. But this is also in the air and in the air, like sand, exists but does not exist. So why are there all things, why are there us? ”

"Xuanyi is smart, and he understands the mystery of cultivation so quickly. Karma is the reason for our existence, so what do you say practice is for? ”

"It turned out to be to eliminate karma and return to the original void. Ah, it's terrible, it turns out that this world is fake, we are all fake! So what am I still pursuing? I'll just lie down and forget it! Master, I seem to be floating in the endless dark abyss now, and I can't see any joy or hope anymore! I now understand a little bit why the drunken apprentice in Xiaoqingzhen was frightened by the master's words. If ordinary people see the truth in the world, it is really shocking. Xuanyi felt empty in his heart, lay down lazily, and said with his hands on his head.

"Fallacy. You only saw the skin of all things through the mouth of your teacher, but you did not see the true Tao. Your unhappiness shows that you are still pursuing vanity, and your bright nature has not yet been revealed. If you look around, you will see that the wind is still blowing, the waves are still beating, the beautiful flowers are blooming, and the singing birds are pleasant. ”

"Yes! I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to find anything. Then master, teach me the skills, don't talk about those things that you have or don't have. Xuanyi jumped up again and smiled happily.

"Sister! Master, I didn't hear a word of what you said! Xuantian's eyes were confused, and he scratched his head and looked at the two.

Xuanyi rushed over and hugged Xuantian, and grinned: "I don't understand either, master, the three stupid Taoist priests always say something strange." ”

"Alright, you two sit down. Before I can teach you how to do it, I need to explain your background. Master Master plans to tell you again in a few years, but now that you want to learn the skill, you can't hide it. Listen, your mother is Heavenly Dao Sect Qin Ye Daogu, he is the apprentice of the Seven Elders' Wishless Dao Venerable, and he is also my senior sister. And your father is a man of the demon race, and his name is Long Hui. ”

"Ahh

Two children are scared at the same time! The whole flute is gone.

"Master! What did you say? Our father is a demon? How is this possible! Xuan Yi reacted, his eyes widened and asked.

"Why is this impossible? Are demons bad? ”

"Of course it's not good! Demons? That's not the sworn enemy of the Taoist, and the human race doesn't hate the demon race the most! We are so cute, how can we be vicious demons? "Xuanyi!

"Demon children are also cute. You're so cute! ”

"Hey! Master, how can our father be a demon? What the hell is going on, how did my mother, a Dao aunt, give birth to us with the demons? What a shocking news! Xuan Yi climbed onto the Taoist's lap, his little face still shocked. Xuantian also climbed over, and also raised his big watery eyes, looking aggrieved.

The Taoist smiled: "You at least know your parents, but the master doesn't even know who your parents are." Then I'll tell you about your parents. The master was born in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and your mother and I are from the same family. At the beginning, two hundred miles east of Qishan, Langtang Mountain, there were demons and harmful people. The Heavenly Dao Sect sent a Taoist priest to arrest him, and your mother also went. There, she met and fell in love with your father, Long Hui. Later, Senior Sister Qin Ye returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect and was already pregnant with the two of you. And you are demons, and you are about to be born in July. Senior Sister Qin Ye sent a message to Long Hui, and the two made an appointment to escape from the back mountain. I don't want you to be born, causing a change in the sky and exposing the identity of the demons. In this way, Long Hui and the Taoist priests fought a great battle, and were finally killed by several elders. And your mother was martyred, and entrusted you to me before she died. ”

"Ahh Master, you are too cruel! Such a terrible truth, but you tell it so simply like telling a story! We are so small, how can we withstand such a big blow! Xuanyi leaned back and glared.

"Yes! How could my father be a demon! I don't want to be a demon, I want to be a Taoist like my master! Xuantian said pitifully.

"Hey, it's all the same. Speaking of which, the demons are still the ancestors of the human race. 100,000 years ago, when the heavens and the earth first opened, there were only the spirit race and the god race, the demon race was the descendant of the spirit race, and the human race was the descendant of the spirit race and the god race. With the change of the times, the human race gradually took over, and the spirit race has been forgotten in the corner of the Six Realms. In the human realm, humans fear and loathe the demon race. But in the Demon Realm, the Demon Race is also disgusted with the Terrans. The two races have established a hostile relationship in order to survive, but there is no difference between them. ”

"Demons! Wow, I'm a demon! I said, I'm different from others, it's so interesting. In the future, the master will be a Taoist priest of the human race, and I will be a Taoist priest of the demon race. Let's join hands with our master and apprentice and travel through the Six Realms! Wowhaha! Great! Xuanyi suddenly jumped up and laughed.

"Sister! You're crazy! The demons were discovered by Taoist priests in the world, but they want to kill us! Xuantian lay in the arms of the Taoist and said worriedly.

"Come on, then! I'm a demon, a little human, and it's not certain who kills whom! Xuanyi smirked.

"Xuanyi, you're looking for a fight again! Sit tight. "The Taoist.

Xuan Yi sat down, and suddenly sighed again: "Hey, speaking of which, this demon clan is also unlucky in the world. If we hadn't been born, our parents wouldn't have died. Master, you always talk about cause and effect, but what is the cause and effect of my parents' suffering? Are they bad people? ”

"People can't simply distinguish between good and bad, and mortals can't see the good and bad of cause and effect even more clearly. However, your father was a responsible, courageous, and loving man who cared for your mother. It's just that he did practice evil arts and injured a lot of people's lives. As for your mother, she is the kindest and gentlest woman I have ever met. It's just that her mind is too mixed, her heart of cultivation is not strong, and she was killed by mistake in the red dust, which is also fate. ”

"Master, you always say that the destiny of heaven, is it really as the witch of Tongshan Town said, we are destined to kill our relatives and kill the master? Can this destiny be changed? How can I change it? Xuanyi asked again.

"Of course it can be changed. However, the good and bad of life is the fate that people will encounter in their lives. As a practitioner, one should not be attached to the number of lives itself. It would be best if you could do it if it happened naturally and face it with a mind of inaction. In the process of practice, one gradually lets go of the confusion of external objects about oneself, abandons bad habits, and dissolves one's innate nature. Seeing through the laws of the endless operation of things and comprehending the true nature of the Great Dao, there is no better life than this. ”
