Moving the sword like a pen, walking like ink, using the void as silk paper, the old way depicts the posture of the fish and dragon vividly, and it is meticulous. Moreover, the ichthyosaurus is swimming and alive! It seems to have its own spirituality, swimming and changing in the void.

For this wonderful swordsmanship, Yu Ci was really amazed.

Yu Zhou smiled when he saw him: "This sword qi thousand illusion technique is just a side matter, if you are obsessed with such things, you don't need to cultivate anymore!"

The tone was gentle, but the meaning was heavy, Yu Ci was awe-inspiring in his heart, and he arched his hand and said: "Please watch the Lord make it clear." ”

"I don't have anything to say in the open, just to show you some facts. Just like I left the Dust Sect, like the White Sun Mansion, like the Ten Thousand Spirits Gate, like the tens of thousands of medicine pickers in the Heavenly Rift, and of course, those demons and monsters, all counted, which of these characters and forces have escaped the truth of the evolution of the 'Dao Worm'? You can think about it, but you don't have to have the answer now...... The predecessors called 'Dao worm', and the true meaning is in it......"

Although he wanted to think about it, Yu Zhou didn't give Yu Ci time to think carefully, he personally poured him a glass of wine, and when Yu Ci thanked him, he smiled again: "You are not moved by external objects, you only seek the avenue of immortality, and don't say whether this idea is good or bad, I just want to ask you, why do you want to live forever?"

Yu Ci blurted out: "I think about it day and night." ”

Yu Zhou was noncommittal, only stroked his beard and said, "After thinking about it day and night?"

"Practice it. ”

"Can't do it?"

"Please!"

"Where do you ask?"

Yu Ci thought for a while and said, "Naturally, I asked the Lord for ......."

Yu Zhou laughed when he heard this: "If I can live forever, how can I end up dying and waiting for death in this view?

Yu Ci was silent, only feeling that although the old man's laughter was bold, there was something difficult to solve in the middle after all, presumably remembering sad things, which was his sin.

The old man smiled, and suddenly asked him again: "Can you know the difficulty of immortality in the next life?"

Yu Ci recalled his own experience and said calmly: "I know a little bit about it." ”

Lao Dao pointed at him with his finger, and the expression on his face looked more and more confused through the evolution of the sword qi: "The difficulty of immortality is unforgettable for me!"

"Back then, I took my wife to travel all over the mountains and rivers, looking for immortals, going through hardships and hardships, not flinching, only seeking eternal life, boasting that my heart was as solid as a rock, and I didn't dare to deceive in the wind and rain...... After getting acquainted with the first teacher, my husband and wife were able to worship under the sect of Lichen Sect, and get the elixir of immortality, thinking that the immortal road was already under the foot, but almost three hundred years have passed, and the immortal road is long ahead. ”

300 years ...... This is the first time that Lao Dao has personally confirmed his age. For Yu Ci, it is really difficult for him, a junior who is not even thirty years old, to imagine a long life ten times his age. So, he could only continue to be silent.

But he kept looking at the faces of the old road ravines, and inexplicably thought of the two "old masters" of Zilei and Chiyin. When he was young, he never understood why those two were already returning Dan monks, mastering the country of thousands of miles, and staying young for a long time, so desperately using human lives to fill the immortal desire...... A few years ago, he thought he understood, and it was out of a sense of urgency...... But now, he has realized another layer:

In fact, that's fear! Three hundred years, but he stopped on the road of immortality, watching the end of his life, this kind of experience, Yu Ci didn't want to try it anyway!

Lao Dao didn't care about his thoughts. He has been cultivating qi for more than 300 years, even if there are some entanglements, he will not show it for too long, and then smiled:

"In the past three hundred years of my practice, I have returned to the peak of Dan and have not been able to advance an inch, but I have also understood the difficulty of immortality, not before the transmission of the Fa, and after the transmission of the Fa, I am just a person who seeks the Tao in the world, and I can't even pass the level of 'teaching the Fa'...... Therefore, over the years, I have taken advantage of the presiding over the meditation to make it more convenient for others to accept disciples for the sect, but it should not be on you alone. Moreover, I am just giving you a chance, whether you can succeed or not depends on your hard work and creation!"

The word "creation" has a long meaning, and it seems to have endless emotion, but that is not something that Yu Ci can delve into.

He just understood what he should do, so he got up and solemnly saluted the old man: "The master is painstaking, and the disciple understands. ”

At this point, he naturally changed his name. Yu Zhou was very satisfied, but he was not too strict with him, he only raised his glass and smiled: "I set up a ladder for you, you climbed up, and now you have truly embarked on the road of immortality, from now on, the difficulties and obstacles are different from the past, you have to be prepared!"

Yu Ci also raised his glass, and then lowered his stomach with a glass of hot wine, and responded in a deep voice: "The disciple knows everything......"

The meaning is deep and has its own deep meaning. Since Yu Ci rebelled out of the Twin Immortal Sect, he has wandered in all directions, like a rootless Ping. Now it is a re-established foundation, and I feel in my heart, how can it be summed up in three words or two sentences.

After he re-seated, he filled the wine cup and drank it all, and the warm smell of wine filled his body. At this time, the same seat has a completely different feeling for him. There are some things that were not said before, but can now be said:

"Master Guan, you just said that you don't ask for immortals, but where do you let your disciples go?"

Yu Zhou grinned: "I ended up like this, how can I teach you immortality?" Therefore, what I said before is not my ability, but the way I found the success of those fellow predecessors in the mountain gate, and I will tell you ...... You are considered a disciple of the outer chamber at this time, and you can only follow the cat and the tiger, and when the opportunity comes in the future, you can seek the true understanding of immortality from the mouths of those immortals, which is the right way. ”

Yu Ci didn't hear it in his heart, not that he didn't like the old words, but that he was dull and twilight in his words, and he couldn't help but be too heavy. Moreover, he vaguely felt that Lao Dao's words were not more frank than before, as if there was some love in it.

Yu Zhou didn't care about him, and after a few glasses of wine, he talked about it:

"Let's talk about this 'Dao worm' again. There are thousands of cultivators in the world, and there are very few who can live forever. Is it like this ichthyosaurus, from shrimp whisker grass, ichthyosaurus grass, to ichthyosaurus, one out of a thousand, one out of ten thousand, screening layer by layer, and even attaining the Tao?"

Yu Ci groaned slightly, and suddenly said, "Watching the Lord ......"

"Huh?"

"Isn't this the 'worm' of the 'Tao worm' as the Lord said? I am not a hypocrite, and I have not done anything that kills people on a daily basis. I'm not afraid to see the Lord and laugh, I don't agree with people, draw my sword and kill people, kill ten or eight, it may not be anything. But if it is because of my longevity, I regard the same kind of people in the world as grass, harvest vitality and steal vitality to enrich myself, I can't do such things. ”

As he spoke, he thought that it was the two "old masters" of Zilei and Chiyin, the two monks he still had to look up to, weren't they just as the old Tao said, killing their own kind and building a ladder for their own path to immortality?

As a victim, Yu Ci has no intention of following suit. At least, not now!

Yu Zhou laughed when he heard this: "You don't have to show me your heart, you also think of Dao Changsheng too simply...... can you read the Yin Fu Sutra?"

Yu Ci shook his head very frankly......

Yu Zhou pointed at him with a smile: "In the future, you must use your heart in these lessons." What is the meaning of the phrase in this verse, 'Heaven and earth, thieves of all things, thieves of all things, thieves of man, and thieves of all things.'"

Yu Ci still shook his head.

Lao Dao didn't explain directly, just patted the stone box in his hand, and said: "A fish and dragon have two thousand five hundred merits, what do you think of the sect's merit trading method?"

Yu Ci no longer shook his head this time, but frowned and said, "Shang Jia is very angry. ”

After a pause, he was a little embarrassed, but he still said it: "It's not the same as the cultivation sect I imagined. ”

Lao Dao stroked his palms and smiled: "The young man said this very well...... What do you imagine...... It's a pity that the road to immortality is unimaginable, and there is only one way to practice. How can we understand the difficulties of immortality without practice?

"You must know that immortality is the most illusory thing, but seeking immortality is the most realistic thing. With your current cultivation, if you only think about eating and drinking, and purifying your body, you will starve to death, and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are indispensable after all. If you look at the predecessors of the immortal masters in the mountain gate, who turned into rainbows and rode the clouds, and traveled to the void, they were all from the superficial lifting to the suspension of the pilot, and then to the void and flying into the air, step by step, and only then did they have today's realm.

"Even if they have today's realm and withdraw from the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, their disciples and grandchildren still have to roll inside, and they have never said that once the master teaches the Fa, the apprentice can expect to live forever...... Don't you think it's all clichΓ©s?"

Yu Ci was dumbfounded, and without waiting for him to argue, Lao Dao smiled and said: "This imaginary and practical thing is even more complicated, it is a list of good deeds, and it also has a deep meaning." Now there is a simpler question, don't imagine, you can answer me: shrimp beard grass, ichthyosaurus, will they trade with each other?"

Yu Ci could only shake his head again.

"That's it, the fish and dragon are in the same vein, they sense the traffic, steal the life of their own kind to enrich themselves, but this is the only way for them to absorb nutrients and grow, but for us, if we want to absorb nutrients, the choice is much more advanced and complicated.

"Why do you have to take someone else's life? As long as he has the elixir magic weapon on his body, can't you? Take a step back and say, wouldn't it be good to exchange with each other? Isn't this exactly what the sect's merit trading is about?

"By extension, any kind of communication between people is an opportunity to obtain nutrients, but some people get more and some people get less. Some people know what they need and go for it purposefully, while others are ignorant and waste opportunities.

"For example, when a person walks in the Tao and sees a beautiful woman, full of silk and jewels, and carries a number of spiritual classics, at this time, it is natural for the lustful person to want to bring the beauty back, and the rich person wants to get his jewelry, which is reasonable, and it is normal for us cultivators to take his classics, but if we still want to be rich and lustful, we even forget the classics...... What does immortality have to do with such people? ”

Yu Ci laughed when he heard this, but Lao Dao didn't laugh.

Brother Fishbone is in class, don't bother him, just give me the red ticket or something. In addition, during this time, I feel more and more the importance of collecting, and there are brothers and sisters who only read books and are too lazy to collect?
