Chapter 37: Sea Trials

"Goal, Three Immortals Island, full speed ahead ......"

I saw that in the lookout post above the mainsail mast, a heroic little girl dressed in red, holding a triangular red flag, her eyes resolutely pointed straight ahead of the "outlying island...... In that direction, there are the so-called legendary immortal residences, "Abbot, Penglai, Yingzhou", three islands!

"Follow Miss Hong'er's order, raise the sails, pull the anchor, set sail, drive at full speed, and target the ...... of Sanxian Island"

Kong Da, Kong Er repeated the order in turn in a loud voice: "The second team of dragons and tigers, each performing its own duties, boys and girls, divided into left and right ......" In this situation, Jiugong twisted his beard and his head, laughing but not speaking!

Taoist legend says that there is a sacred mountain on the sea, named "abbot", which is inhabited by immortals, so the Dan room where it lives is also called "abbot".

"Historical Records and Feng Zen Book" records, "Ziwei, Xuan, and Yan Zhao sent people into the sea to seek Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou Sanshen Mountain, and their spread was in the Bohai Sea, and they were not far from people. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that there are three immortal mountains on the sea, Abbot, Penglai, Yingzhou, the mountain is a fairyland, there is an elixir, and the mirage wonders that often appear in the Penglai sea area have stimulated people's enthusiasm for seeking immortals and medicines.

In ancient history and legends......

It is said that Hojo Island is in the center of the East China Sea, and the southwest and northeast coasts are equal, and each is 5,000 miles around. There is a palace of gold and jade glaze on it, which is the place where the three-day priest ruled.

All the immortals want to ascend to heaven and become immortals, and they must first come to this island to receive the Taishang Xuansheng Record. There are hundreds of thousands of immortal families living on it, and the herbs and herbs grow in patches, such as planting rice and wheat in the world. This statement depicts the basic situation and importance of Abbot Island. Even the gods ascended to heaven and had to be enshrined here.

Later, another said that those who did not want to ascend to heaven still had to receive the Taixuan Jar here. But even after receiving the Taixuan Urn, there are still a large number of scattered immortals, unwilling to ascend to heaven, so there are hundreds of thousands of immortal families, all here, cultivating fields and planting sesame grass.

That is to say, many scattered immortals who do not want to ascend to heaven, after completing the established procedures, will be here, open up wasteland and farm, and plant all kinds of immortal fairy grass, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials...... In short, they all had a good time, and most of them lived a leisurely life of traveling to the North Sea in the twilight.

The elixir of life since ancient times, every dynasty and every generation, is coveted by all kinds of kings, when the rights of ancient monarchs have reached their peak, grasping the power of life and death of the world, they are more yearning for immortality, with the same life with heaven and earth, and with the sun and the moon. That's why it will lead to all kinds of incidents that go to Immortal Island, Immortal Mountain, or Immortal Dojo to seek the elixir of immortality!

From these written records, they all have one thing in common, that is, the countless elixirs of life on Abbot Island were planted there like straw by the immortals......

This statement is undoubtedly an itch in the hearts of the rulers of the ancient feudal society, so they do not hesitate to spend all their manpower, material resources, and financial resources to gain something on the road to seeking immortality!

However, the island of the Three Immortals has not been found in ancient times, so it is impossible to confirm whether it exists. But there is still a possibility of existence, otherwise there would be no one who will spread the legend of the overseas fairy mountain.

It's not ...... After 100 days of cultivation in the Wind and Rain Pavilion, Bian Xi feels very good about himself, compared with the past, there have been a lot of changes in his cultivation? He finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to immediately verify his ability, what kind of realm had he reached? So he encouraged Jiugong, and Hong'er went down the mountain with him to choose a so-called auspicious day of the zodiac...... Sea trials on the outlying islands!

The reason Bian Xi gave for his sea trial is......

"Before the ship sails away, we must check it, the Kong brothers led everyone, how is the recent preparation? Tailor-made for the building ship, those treasures related to navigation, have they been installed? Are they all able to master the equipment after they have been trained? See if there is anything that needs to be improved? ”

In addition, he also has a selfish intention, the goal is "Three Immortal Island", he wants to personally verify whether "Abbot, Penglai, Yingzhou," there are indeed legendary immortals gathered? If there is, are those cultivators all busy trying to figure out how to do it all day long...... How to Ascend?

Bian Xi guessed that maybe some of them didn't want to soar at all, they just wanted to be a group of scattered immortals, at least they didn't have to live a 9-to-5 life in Heavenly Court! Even if you are bored, you can go to the vicinity of the island......

If you are really idle, then open up the wasteland and plant some so-called elixirs to play...... To put it bluntly, in fact, Bian Xi wants to know, how are those people who call them "cultivating immortals" how their little lives are?

"If, in case we really meet this sea trial, we can also learn from each other when necessary...... Hehe! ”

When Jiugong heard Bian Xi's suggestion, he was completely amused, he stroked his long beard, shook his fan in the breeze, and said with a long sigh: "Scattered immortals are also immortals, your ideas are not unreasonable, existence is reasonable, I hope it can be as you wish?" ”

Hehe...... Jiugong, Xi also asked: "The so-called heaven, earth, people, gods, ghosts, and immortals, are they all one?" ”

When Jiugong heard Bian Xi, he suddenly asked this question, and he was immediately surprised? It can be seen that taking him into the Tao and practicing in the mountains for 100 days has indeed achieved results, and Bian Xi will not even think about these problems in the past......

After pondering for a moment, Jiu Gong said slowly again: "Heaven and earth give birth to all things to support people, but people have nothing to give back? ”

"The sky is clear and turbid, the sky is yang and the earth is yin. People have lived between heaven and earth for a long time, so there is yin and yang and turbidity. After the death of the body, the turbidity is separated, the yin and yang are also separated, the turbidity yin sinks, and the ghost is incarnated, and the pure yang rises, and the Jin becomes a god.

All things in heaven and earth are valued by harmony. Yin and yang are turbid, black and white. Therefore, the lonely yang is not born, and it is yang for it. The lonely yin is not extinguished, and it is shady for it.

God is pure and pure, too rigid is easy to break, and clear is gone. Ghosts are pure yin turbidity, and too soft is useless. To turbidity, there is no life. Although people have yin and yang and are turbid, they are confused and unclear, and they lose their harmony......

Immortals are cultivated by the human body, through yin and yang and clear turbidity, and yin and yang and clear turbidity, although living in yin and yang turbidity, but not confined to it. Familiar with the principle of yin and yang, the wisdom of the bright road.

Therefore, "heaven, earth, and man" eventually became "gods, ghosts, and immortals...... Therefore, different paths lead to the same end, from one! ”

"Oh, I see, Bian Xi understands, thank you Jiu for enlightening ......"
