Chapter 3: Lead Me to the Way
How powerful Tang Sui is, Gao Ming is not very clear. But if what Tang Sui said was true, then it would be really great for him to be able to swim in the star space alone.
Regardless of whether there is a lie or not, taking a person up out of thin air and passing through the wall is a real miracle.
However, what Gao Ming didn't expect was that Tang Sui would be able to be so powerful.
When Gao Ming opened his eyes, it was almost noon. It seems that I have dreamed all night, and now my head is still groggy.
Gradually, the memory of last night appeared in Gao Ming's mind, Gao Ming suddenly startled, walked out of the bedroom, and found that Tang Sui was already sitting in the living room, holding a brand-new ...... Cell phone?
Gao Ming walked over and observed carefully, it was indeed the latest, and it was definitely a new mobile phone.
"Brother Tang went to buy a mobile phone early this morning?"
"Well, I took a turn around casually, and I saw that this was a little interesting, so I bought one to play. β
Gao Ming's face was strange, and he didn't know what to say.
Tang Sui glanced at him and said, "Don't be so surprised, I've seen a lot of strange and even grotesque things a long time ago, just this, it's nothing." β
Gao Ming realized how naΓ―ve he was. Although Tang Sui is said to be an ancient man thousands of years ago, he is actually a well-informed old monster who has lived for thousands of years. It's this style of painting, and it feels a little confusing......
"Is it expensive......"
"It's okay, what I have is money. β
β......β
"Oh, I mean relative to you. I'm pretty rich. β
Hiss, brother, are you really good at being so straightforward? Who are you looking down on? Gao Ming was not convinced, but he was speechless. I've been using my broken phone for several years, but I've been reluctant to replace it. Don't ask why, when asked, just say it's feelings!
Alas, there is no way, there is no strength, it's like this.
Gao Ming hesitated slightly, but still asked, "Brother Tang, you said yesterday that you came back this time and wanted to find someone to guide him on the path of immortality?"
Tang Sui put down his phone: "That's right." β
Gao Ming licked his dry lips and asked with some trepidation, "What do you think of me?"
"Yes. Tang Sui picked up the phone again and concentrated.
β......β
Happiness came too simply, which made Gao Ming a little stunned. If Tang Sui hadn't shown his hand yesterday, Gao Ming would have almost thought that this was a liar, and the next step would have been to spend money on the secret book of cultivating immortals.
"I heard that cultivating immortals has very high requirements for qualifications?" Gao Ming tried to test again......
"Haha, there are no requirements for qualifications for cultivating immortals, and the speed at which cultivation starts has some requirements for the so-called "qualifications". This is true not only for cultivating immortals, but also for everything. Some of the so-called "innate Dao bodies" have made rapid progress as soon as they begin to practice, which can be called a thousand miles in a day, which is beyond the reach of extraordinary people. β
As he spoke, Tang Sui put down his phone and looked at Gao Ming's eyes seriously.
"But, brother, you have to remember that you never know what your qualifications are until you go to the end. β
"Cultivation is the accumulation of long years, and instead of worrying about the established facts, it is better to consider whether your mind is suitable for this path, whether you really want to take this path, and how determined you are to stick to this path. β
"So, do you really want to go down this path?"
Gao Ming seemed to feel something, and asked softly, "Is it difficult?"
Tang Sui smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, it's super difficult." β
β......β
"The key thing is whether you really want to go down that path. β
You may feel the urge to think that if you take this path, you will get the whole world, but in fact, once you take this path, it will take over the whole of your life, which means that you have actually given up your whole world. β
"Well, for me, it doesn't matter, because I used to be a little Taoist priest who was bent on seeking the Tao since I was a child, and this is the whole meaning of my original life, but for your life, then it is nothing, it has no meaning. β
"Most seekers seek an eternal life, but they forget that the Tao Te Ching says: there is no birth without each other. There is always only one ultimate destination in life, and that is death. Seeking immortality is nothing more than a long process of dying. When you are alive, all you want is to continue your life, so what is the meaning of living?"
"So, it's not about your qualifications, it's not about your achievements or results, it's really about what makes your life meaningful. β
"Have you really thought about this path?"
A long paragraph.
After Gao Ming heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally bowed deeply and went back to the bedroom silently.
Tang Sui sent him back to the room, bowed slightly, and then turned around and continued to play with the mobile phone in his hand.
......
The sun sets in the west, and the slanting sunset spreads the last of its heat into the air through the clear sky. The stars began to emerge into the clear night sky. Gao Ming and Tang Sui walked casually on the snack street.
Tang Sui said that he had long passed the realm of Bigu and no longer needed food to maintain life energy.
Gao Ming expressed his envy for this, so that he could save a lot of money and exchange several pairs of good livers for himself!
However, as the host, I still have to entertain it, so I propose to eat something casually and have a good time. Tang Sui readily agreed, especially after smelling the fragrance of hooked sausages from afar, he was even more categorical, so he decided!
Walk as you go, eat as you please!
So the two foraged for food in the snack street, ate wherever they went, and bought a little bit of each of various tricks.
In the end, Gao Ming was distressed to find that this Tang Sui was a bottomless pit! The wallet was empty, and Tang Sui was still interested. Isn't the belly of a cultivator opening up a new world?
Gao Ming couldn't eat anything for a long time, so he just led Tang Sui around, watching him try various flavors with great interest.
As for yourself, you can only enjoy the unique scenery of summer along the road. I saw skirts flying around like beautiful flowers and butterflies......
It's still a nice summer view.
It's a pretty beautiful world.
But what does it have to do with yourself?
Gao Ming looked at Tang Sui, who was in high spirits next to him, just like when he was on vacation. Presumably, for Tang Sui these days, it is equivalent to his own vacation, right?
As night falls, the lights come on.
Gao Ming walked through the crowd.
When the hot air is blown away by the cool evening breeze, it is time for the flow of people.
Pedestrians are smiling and smiling, and the small shops are in full swing. Everyone has their own place, and everyone's laughter and sorrow have left a unique trace in the world.
There are people they cherish, and there are people who take care of them as if they were treasures. Everyone is like a little light ink, they connect, sketch, and entangle, together to form this colorful world.
And what about myself, like an invisible person who accidentally fell into this painting.
It's like a little white dust, hidden on the white backdrop. Neither adds style to the painting, nor does it leave a mark.
I don't know where to put myself, and I can't even find myself.
It is not beneficial and harmless, and it can be dispensable.
What does one's existence, or non-existence, have to do with the world?
A life without meaning.
I am born to be useful-Li Bai said.
I was born to be talented, why did he want to come?ββ Gao Ming wanted to ask.
Accidentally. - Lu Xun replied.
"Ah Ling, hurry up, hurry up!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
A teenage girl rushed out of a shop and ran past Gao Ming. Not far ahead, a slightly older girl beckoned.
"Ding~"
As he passed by, Gao Ming happened to see a coin falling, and even heard the crisp sound of metal hitting the ground.
Gao Ming picked it up and shouted, "Little girl, you dropped something." β
The little girl turned around and walked over and thanked her very politely, and her immature voice was sweet and cute: "Thank you, uncle!"
Gao Ming's face immediately changed, he withdrew the hand he handed out, lowered his body to eye level with him, and asked solemnly, "What did you call my brother just now?"
The little girl seemed frightened and at a loss.
Another little girl stepped forward, gently pulled the child, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The poor child whispered nervously, "I just called someone by the wrong name......
"What do you call him?"
"Uncle ......"
"Oh, you really are!" The girl stretched out a slender finger and gently poked the child's head as a sign of punishment, then turned her head and bowed to Gao Ming seriously and apologized: "I'm sorry, uncle!
β......β
Tang Sui next to him, a good fairy style Taoist master, just laughed at Jigong's temperament.
Gao Ming turned his head and looked at Tang Sui seriously: "Brother Tang, please lead me to the road." β
Tang Sui was stunned: "Just because of this?
Gao Ming chuckled: "After living for more than 20 years, it's the first time I've considered a problem so seriously. β
"My decision today may not be the right one, but I will never regret it!"
