Chapter Twenty-Three: Travels
Regarding Ah Lu's joking words, Hong Tuo uncharacteristically did not quarrel with her, but replied with a serious face: "I always feel that there was a cloud of turbidity in my brain that covered my ears and closed my eyes, but now this turbidity has dissipated, and my mind is much clearer, why is this?"
Ah Lu didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's enlightened!"
Hong Tuo turned his head to look at her, and saw that her eyes were clear and she had a shallow opinion of joy, and her face was extremely improper, and she was a little helpless: "Don't talk nonsense......"
His expression at this moment was very similar to the red bean of the former Heavenly Realm, and he was slightly stunned for a moment when he saw Ah Lu, and quickly covered his expression.
"But I didn't expect to finally conceal the participation of Yang Chong and Jiang Suan in this matter, and still remember your brotherhood?"
Hong teased: "We have grown up together since childhood, and the friendship for many years is not so easy to let go, I just hope that this matter can be turned into a small matter, and it will end here." ”
Listening to Hong Lu's sighing words, Ah Lu didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart, if Yang Chong was willing to stop it, it would be a good thing for her.
After a long silence, Hong Tuo saw that she was thoughtful, and remembered what she had said just now, and then asked her,
"Is that really the enlightenment you just said?"
Ah Lu took away his emotions and got serious.
"All living beings in heaven and earth are conceived by aura, and when the aura is abundant, there is spiritual consciousness, turning into immortals and spirits, and mortals are born with spiritual energy because they are created by the great god Nuwa. For spirits, aura is the basis for cultivation, and for human beings, the aura in a person's body represents their own spiritual intelligence, which is called natural ......"
Hong Teasing seemed to have an understanding: "That is to say, I didn't have enough aura before, so I didn't treat people and things thoroughly enough, and I can only see the surface, but now the aura is enough to open my mind, and I can understand the deeper meaning?"
Ah Lu thought for a while, nodded and replied, "Almost!"
Hong Teasing closed his eyes and asked her, "That Taoist priest?"
"Oh, that Taoist priest is no problem, if you want to cultivate the Tao, he is a good master!"
"You're also an immortal cultivator, can't you teach me directly?" Hong teased.
Hearing this, Ah Lu smiled shyly and said, "I don't accept apprentices, and the apprenticeship is precious, and that old way is cheaper." ”
Hong teased her and said disdainfully: "Will this son have any money?"
Ah Lu smiled: "Young people can't talk too much......"
Hong Tuo was very dissatisfied with Ah Lu's old-fashioned appearance, and retorted, "You don't look much older than this son!"
Ah Lu didn't care too much about Hong Lu's attitude, and explained seriously, "You mortal, don't you know that permanent appearance is the basis for cultivating immortals, Miss Ben is over 100 years old, enough for you to call grandma!"
Hong Tuo obviously didn't believe it, sneered, and asked her: "I look stupid?
"What do you mean by that?"
In response to Hong Tea's words, Ah Lu stood up angrily and looked at him with his hands on his hips.
"Experience ...... for yourself"
Hong was reluctant to continue to dwell on this topic with her, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Ah Lu shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and was about to leave, he knew that he would not help this person to enter the spiritual energy, dispel the turbidity in the world, not only restore the red bean immortal monarch part thoroughly, but this poisonous tongue has also been restored a little.
"Gone?"
Seeing Ah Lu get up, Hong Tuo raised his eyes to look at her and asked in a low voice.
Ah Lu crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily: "What are you doing if you don't leave, stay and be angry?"
Hong was silent for a moment, then asked her hesitantly, "If I agree to cultivate, what is the next arrangement?"
Unthinkable why he suddenly asked himself this question, Ah Lu was stunned and asked rhetorically, "You ask me what I am doing, how do I know?"
"Didn't you plan all this?"
Hong Tuo tried not to let himself touch her gaze, and asked tentatively.
Ah Lu didn't understand his temptation, and pretended to be puzzled: "We're sorry, Ah Sheng and I really just want to make money from you!"
"That old man is not in the same league as you?"
Even if Ah Lu said so, Hong Tuo didn't believe it.
Probably understanding what Hong Tuo was thinking, Ah Lu smiled: "You can't think that we are a group just because we are all immortal cultivators, and there is a difference between cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao, you can understand me as a spirit who cultivates by absorbing spiritual energy, first cultivating the immortal body and then comprehending the morality, and the cultivation is to comprehend the supreme Taoism between subduing demons and subduing demons, refining the heart first and then refining the body...... The former is suitable for the cultivation of spirit creatures, and the latter is a cultivation method unique to mortals, so this is also the reason why I can't teach you. ”
After looking Ah Lu up and down, Hong Tuo asked suspiciously, "You are not a mortal?"
Ah Lu knocked on his head, causing Hong to look at him angrily, before laughing and said: "Didn't I say that there were many immortal cultivators in ancient times, and such a person has a chance to give birth to a spirit fetus full of spiritual energy, and he can absorb spiritual energy to refine his body like a spirit." ”
"You mean you're a spirit fetus?"
"How?
Ah Lu glared at him, with pride written on his face: "This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people, young man, when it comes to cultivating immortals, you may not be able to catch up with me if you learn from your master for half your life!"
For what Ah Lu said, Hong teased and snorted coldly.
"Who said that I must cultivate immortals, the prosperity of the world has not yet been enjoyed by Young Master Ben. ”
"Oh?"
Ah Lu thought for a while, and reminded indifferently: "That's right, but that old way doesn't have to be you, and he won't stay here for long......"
“......”
After a long silence, Ah Lu smiled and said, "Gongzi Hong should think about it first, this immortal aunt will leave first!"
Ah Lu turned into a puff of smoke as she spoke, and the whole person disappeared in front of Hong Tea's eyes along with her voice.
After Ah Lu left, Hong Tuo still knelt in the ancestral hall without tea and rice, during which the cheap master Crazy Old Dao came to look for him once.
"Child......"
The crazy old man put his hand on Hong Tea's shoulder, and after a cold glance from him, he took his hand back and smiled.
"Who is your apprentice?"
Hong Tuo didn't want to deal with him, even if the crazy old Taoist had cleaned himself up and dressed like a normal Taoist priest, he couldn't help but dislike him.
Seeing Hong's attitude, the old Taoist priest was not annoyed, and still smiled and said: "Good apprentice, it doesn't matter if you don't want to recognize the poor Taoist as a master now, when the teacher takes you to travel and practice, you will always slowly feel the ...... of accepting as a teacher."
Hong Tuo raised his eyes to look at him and asked him suspiciously, "Traveling and cultivating?"
The old Taoist priest nodded with a smile: "The teacher has already talked to the Lingzun Lingtang, and after the apprentice reflects, he will pack his bags and travel with the teacher......"
Hong Tuo was angry when he heard this, and glared at him: "Who said that I want to be with you!"
Lao Dao still smiled: "Ling Zun has already entrusted you to poor Taoist upbringing, and when your punishment is over, I will put this apprenticeship wine ......"
"My father would even believe in a Taoist priest like you?"
Hong Tuo was shocked and suspicious, how could his father, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, entrust himself to such a charlatan, and only felt that this Taoist priest had deceived him.
In response to Hong Tuo's questioning, Lao Dao sat down on the futon beside him with a smug face, put his hands in his sleeves and said: "Maybe you don't believe it, Poor Dao and Ling Zun are old acquaintances, Ling Zun trusts Poor Dao very much, and naturally trusts Poor Dao with confidence." ”
Hong Tuo didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, he had just returned home, and his good life was not enough, why did he follow him to go outside to suffer.
Seeing that Hong teased and ignored him, Lao Dao shrank back with a pout, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, that Ah Lu girl also recommended herself to Ling Zun Mao Sui to be your personal guard, since Hong Gongzi is unwilling, Poor Dao will persuade her to leave earlier!"
After that, Lao Dao stood up while shaking off his sleeves, and was about to leave.
"Wait......"
