Shi Jizi was scolded angrily, and he didn't say a word, just silent.

"Old thing, you have something to say!

Those disciples are not ants, and the people are not grass mustards, they are all living people!

You are already six or seven hundred years old, how can you ignore the lives of others for your own selfishness, and only want to prolong your own life, do you really want to live for another seven hundred years?"

Silence, still silence.

Han Kang couldn't beat him in one place, and continued to reprimand angrily: "Since ancient times, there are days for success and failure in the rise and fall, and the so-called Taoism is naturally nothing more than this, you go against the sky, and try to change your life in vain, why drag the entire sect to follow you crazy, do you know that if this continues, the entire Jiulingmen will be robbed and destroyed!"

We tried our best to take precautions, but after all, we still couldn't prevent accidents.

In fact, from the day I started researching, I knew that sooner or later I would be punished by God for doing this kind of thing, but I still didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, and I would already suffer the consequences in just one year.

Do you really want to be willing to watch the Nine Spirit Gates be destroyed and the entire foundation destroyed, so what did you establish them for in the first place?"

"Han Kang, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and we have to fight against it, and it is impossible not to pay the price. ”

Hearing Han Kang's last words, Shi Jizi was finally moved.

He sighed slightly, but said quietly.

"Perhaps, there is a providence in the underworld, Jiulingmen, that is the price!"

Han Kang's body shook violently, and he looked at Shi Jizi with a bit of disbelief, feeling that the master in front of him was extremely unfamiliar.

"Jiulingmen, that's the price?"

Shi Jizi said quietly: "Yes, since ancient times, those who have transcended the world and cut off the mortal world, how can they lack the five disadvantages and three shortcomings? This is the price. ”

Han Kang said angrily: "It's ridiculous!"

"Not ridiculous. Shi Jizi shook his head and said, "The so-called cultivator asks, the essence is individual detachment, that is, anti-society, anti-civilization, and anti-human!"

Immortals are immortals, immortals are not human, immortals are ethereal, and the subtext of otherworldliness is the laws and laws of nature that are above all living beings and transcend the world. ”

Han Kang's eyes showed anger, and he refuted loudly: "Cultivating immortals is for detachment, you can't even detach yourself from the mentality of birth, old age, sickness and death, or mortal fear of death and difficulty, it's a fart detachment!"

What is anti-social, anti-human, no one tells you to cultivate immortals, you must be above all sentient beings, you must oppose these!

I think you are really enchanted, what did you say when you taught us before, people are inherently dead, but seeking to die is the meaning of life, alchemy and medicine, hanging pot to help the world, how great!

But now, what have you become? Are you going to be the devil who doesn't care about the sect and the common people for your own selfishness?"

Shi Jizi's eyes flashed with shame, he himself couldn't remember these things, but he didn't expect that Han Kang still remembered them clearly.

But Han Kang's words did evoke his distant memories.

The former self is indeed benevolent and benevolent, hanging the pot to help the world.

His thoughts fluttered, as if he had returned to Han Kang's words seven hundred years ago, in the land of Beihai, on an island country that was windy, rainy, barren and bitterly cold.

The wind was raging, the tide was raging, and the sky and the earth were gray in the fishy harbor.

In the midst of the storm, many people waited.

They are the families of the fishermen at sea, waiting for the return of the distant-water fishing vessels that serve the big merchants.

It was no ordinary fishing boat, but a treasure ship with the ability to sail long distances and catch rare fish and even spirits.

Most of the people are proud that their relatives can board this ship and serve the owner of the ship, Master Wu, who is said to be a disciple of the immortal family, and a real immortal master as a backer.

With the passage of time, the wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, but it is still difficult to reach the heart of the family.

A thinly dressed teenager hid under the eaves and looked forward to it, his bright eyes full of anticipation.

"Daddy will come home today, and he will definitely catch a lot of fish. ”

When a woman heard this, she smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, but said nothing.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd cheered excitedly.

The boy cast his gaze over, and sure enough, beyond the peninsula in the distance, a treasure ship had rounded the mountain wall, slowly turned its bow, and headed for the harbor on this side.

The huge treasure ship is 30 zhang long, and it looks like a palace on the sea.

Soon after, it stopped, and fishermen disembarked one after another.

The crowd cheered from time to time, and these people, who had been away from home for nearly half a year, were finally reunited with their families.

"Where's Daddy?" the young man's eyes widened, carefully distinguishing the people who came down one after another, but he never saw his father.

It wasn't until a long time later that some of the wounded were carried down.

"Daddy......" The boy was stunned.

"Steward Lin, what's going on?" The woman was also anxious, and hurriedly led the young man into the crowd and looked at her husband who was lying on the stretcher, angry.

"We encountered wind and waves at sea, and your old stone fell and broke the bones of your foot. Steward Lin said vaguely.

The woman looked around, and there were several strong men with injuries in their shoulders and waists and abdomen, and they stopped talking.

"Lao Shi can't work on the ship, this is the cost of soup and medicine paid by the owner, as well as the dividends over the years, by the way, this is the best gold sore medicine, after I go back, watch the time to apply. ”

Steward Lin hurriedly instructed the woman, and then went to deal with the inquiries of other family members.

"Sister-in-law, let's help you send Brother Shi home. ”

Two big-shouldered brothers in the same boat offered to help.

Time flies, three months later.

"Woo...... Old Stone ...... You have no conscience, why did you just leave!"

"You left us mother and son, how can you make our lives?"

In the fishing village, on the mourning hall, the woman wearing linen and filial piety cried heartbrokenly, but the young man knelt in a daze, his expression was blank.

"Why is this happening?"

"Why is there birth, old age, sickness and death, why?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad first, Steward Lin is here. ”

Someone reminded.

"I've seen Steward Lin. The woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, but saw Steward Lin leading a young man who was gorgeously dressed and looked like a child of a family.

Steward Lin said: "This is the young owner, the lady of the Shi family, you are really lucky this time, the old stone accumulated virtue before his death, and the young owner is still thinking about it, so he came here to take a look, if there are any difficulties, you can say it." ”

The young man nodded gently and looked at the woman.

The woman hesitated for a moment, unable to speak.

The young man was used to seeing ordinary people, and he didn't care, but suddenly frowned slightly and looked at the young man next to him.

"Why are there births, old age, sickness and death?"

Childe was stunned.

Good question!

But he couldn't answer.

"This young man has a lot of wisdom, don't delay the child, send it to my Wu Family School to study. ”

He thought about it, smiled suddenly, and said to Steward Lin.

This matter was settled.

"Shi Bao, you are a once-in-a-century genius of medical Taoism, how fortunate my Wu family is to have such a treasure as you!"

"Hahahaha, genius, really genius, how did you come up with such a prescription, with Wu Zuo, so ingenious......"

"It's really unbelievable, you've only been studying art for three years, and you're already better than the old decay who has spent a lifetime of penance, and the old man has nothing to teach you anymore, today, you have become a teacher......"

"Master Shi, it's really a wonderful rejuvenation, my stubborn illness for many years has been cured by you......"

"It's really a great mercy and compassion stone master, for many years, I have no money to see a doctor, but I am fortunate to have your almsgiving......

The youth has become a young man, and the youth has become a middle-aged man, and thirty years in a hurry have passed in a flash.

Many years later, Shibao has become a great doctor and is already recognized as the holy hand of Xinglin in the mortal world.

He opened a hall and set up a museum, hung a pot to help the world, and accumulated great prestige in the mortal world.

"But what's the use of studying medicine?"

What no one knew was that Shi Bao, who was already known as Master Shi, still had a troubled question every time there was no one in the middle of the night.

"Can mortal medicine prolong life and bring the dead back to life?"

During these years, he experienced the pain of bereavement, and his mother died of illness before she could see that she was famous.

His wife also died in childbirth, with one body and two lives.

There are also those old acquaintances in the fishing village in the early years, uncles and elders, one after another aging and dying.

At the beginning, he was still interested in returning to his hometown, and he would go back to take a look every three or five years, but he was too lazy to go there recently, and there was no longer any childhood memory.

Master Shi was always confused and confused.

"Studying medicine can't save the mortals, and you can't save yourself, if you want to learn, just learn the art of cultivating immortals and asking for opportunities!"

So, early one morning, everyone was surprised to find that Shi Bao had left behind his painstaking efforts, secret recipes, and a room full of all kinds of medicinal materials, and said goodbye without saying goodbye.

Time flies, spring goes to autumn, I don't know how many years have passed.

Master Shi has become Shi Jizi, he has already encountered the treasure and achieved fame, and has become a recognized new star in the immortal cultivation world.

When he returned to Fangneon again, he heard that the Wu family had been destroyed, and in a fit of anger, he washed the princes with blood, and easily made the entire island country change its owner.

He also recruited disciples, preached and taught, and helped the people.

For a time, the entire Fangming country was politically clear, life was rich, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But it was at this time that he confirmed the suspicions that had been born in his youth.

It turned out that the Wu family started as pirates, and his father was also a pirate, not a fisherman.

This has had a great impact on Shi Jizi's values.

Can the flower of sin also bear the fruit of goodness?

So what is good and what is evil in life?

If it is said that the family and the Wu family started by looting and don't know how many innocent lives were killed, then how did the life of the people of Fangmei come to be today?

Once again, he was in a state of confusion.

It's just that unlike the mortal stone treasures of the past, today's Shi Jizi already knows how to explore by himself.

He gradually comprehended the impermanence of the world and the inevitable truth of birth, old age, sickness and death, and began to carefully cultivate young people, educate disciples, and cultivate one outstanding young handsome man after another.

The Nine Spirits Gate began to take shape.

He took his own adventures as the capital, Fangsi as the foundation, made good friends with the Chamber of Commerce, actively developed his own way, and inherited the Taoism.

Gradually, the disciples have grown, built a successful foundation, and even started a career.

They are all independent Dan Dao masters, with their own ideas and values, and know how to refute themselves, rather than blindly being filial and blindly obedient.

Shi Jizi's thoughts returned, looking at Han Kang, who was full of worry and a solemn expression, as if he saw himself when he was young, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of relief.

"The Taoist system has been passed down, and the concept has been inherited, and I have not lived in vain in my life!"

"But...... And because of that, I can get more!"

Suddenly, a decisive thought arose in my heart.

Shi Jizi's qi fluctuated, and his mana seemed to change his attributes with the change of his spiritual will, becoming more and more deep and obscure.

"Master, don't be obsessed anymore!" Han Kang was still unconscious, and persuaded him bitterly.

"Are you obsessed?" Shi Jizi smiled and laughed at himself, "My generation of monks, if you are not obsessed, how can you understand?"

"Han Kang, Han Kang, do you think I'm really obsessed? On the contrary, I'm far more sober now than ever.

I have come to realize that my original intention of embarking on the path of cultivation and asking questions has never been to help the world and reach the world, but to ...... Transcendent from life and death!

Others enter the Tao as demons, but I am into demons......

If I live forever, what will be the kingdom of the Stars to me, what will be the disciples and my children's descendants, and what will be the difference to me?"

He seemed to be asking himself questions, and at the end of his voice was low and more indistinct.

He silently watched Han Kang preach, but pretended to be deaf and dumb, and never changed his mind, until Han Kang was disappointed, gradually despaired, and left the room, then Huo Ran got up, turned into a shadow, and left quietly.

"Shizun doesn't want to turn back, we can't go wrong with him, we must stop these experiments!"

"But, big brother, ......"

"There is nothing to do, we don't have the conditions to study this thing, and forcing it is just looking for death!"

In the secret room, several disciples discussed, some worried, others hesitated.

But most people still agree with Han Kang's words, because they have really felt chilled recently, and they have never been able to steady.

The characteristics of the Tai Sui of the land are indeed not something that the Nine Spiritual Sect can control, if you slow down and use a more secure and reliable method to explore, it may be better, but if you want to produce results in three or five years, seven or eight years, how unwise is it to do it indiscriminately in a hurry for quick success?

Sometimes, the more urgent you are, the easier it is to fail.

This incident is a wake-up call, fortunately the protection measures have been done well, only more than ten disciples have been infected, and there is still room for redemption.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were deliberating, Shi Jizi had already infiltrated the circle that had imprisoned those infected.

After a while, all the protection was temporarily ineffective, and the pattern of the entire mountain gate array also quietly changed.

A black fog like smoke spreads out, gradually dissipating on the hot construction site outside.
