Chapter 9: The mud and bones under the fountain of the closest relatives
Qingning Daotian, Chu State.
The state of Chu is located in the southern part of Xinjiang, and the sky at night is completely different from that of Zhongzhou or Beiyuan.
The terrain of Zhongzhou and Beiyuan is gentle, while the terrain of southern Xinjiang is high, so the stars or moon in southern Xinjiang are always clearer and more beautiful at night.
"Senior brother, the foolish brother is not very smart, but what he has seen and heard in the past few days has made the foolish brother feel extremely uneasy, and I believe that the junior brother must have seen it. ”
Shangguan Chen and Dong Zhi lay side by side on the roof of the Tongfu Inn, just like when they were in the mountains, looking at the sky in a daze.
Dong Solstice listened to Shangguan Chen's words, and said with some jokingness:
"Oh, let's talk about it, what makes Senior Brother feel uneasy?"
Shangguan Chen looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and said slowly:
"It's not surprising that Pei Qi's master and apprentice can find you and me, after all, there is Elder George's guidance. But how did that horn find you and me? And I heard that the monk of the Temple of the Past Lives also found you, which could not help but confuse the foolish brother. Why is it that since we met Pei Qi's master and apprentice, our whereabouts seem to have been revealed, so the foolish brother has always been uneasy!"
Dong Solstice slowly got up and sat cross-legged in front of Shangguan Chen.
"Senior Brother Chen, Pei Qi's master and apprentice inherited from the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty Guardian Heavenly Master, although the origin is not small, but there is no malice towards you and me. ”
Shangguan Chen heard the winter solstice say this, so it was difficult to say anything else. But when Dong Solstice looked at Shangguan Chen's expression, he knew that Shangguan Chen did not take his words to heart, and he must still be suspicious of Pei Qi's master and apprentice, so he had to explain:
"I have an old relationship with this master and apprentice, and their identity must be fine. The problem may be in the mountains!"
Shangguan Chen's brows tightened when he heard this, and he said to the winter solstice in some shock:
"Manshan, the problem is in Manshan, what does this mean?"
Dong Solstice said indifferently:
"Since you and I have left the sect of the Barbarian Mountain, it means that the outside of the sect is safer than the inside. The first mountains and seas a few days ago had clear killing intent. Although the Heavenly Council Master put this person under house arrest, the Heavenly Council Master still let you and me leave the sect, which means that the court master thinks that there may be more dangerous people in the sect than the first mountain and sea, of course, this is also for me. ”
Seeing that Shangguan Chen was silent, Dong Solstice continued:
"Compared to Pei Qi's master and apprentice, I think Elder George is more worthy of suspicion!"
After the winter solstice was finished, he and Shangguan Chen fell into silence at the same time.
Dong Solstice knew why Shangguan Chen was silent, because Shangguan Chen couldn't believe it.
Shangguan Chen also knew why Dong Solstice was silent, because Dong Solstice would not lie.
In the end, it was the winter solstice that opened his mouth first:
"In the last few days, many forces in the Qingning Dao Heaven should be on the scene. General forces, such as the Temple of the Dead, the Tsing Yi Gate or Dongtu, and Zhongzhou also include Dachu. Before they confirmed the attitude of the barbarians, they did not dare to try to meet the dagger. At present, the only thing that you and I need to worry about is only one at present, Taishang Dao. ”
Shangguan Chen didn't want to mention Elder George's matter anymore, so he simply didn't think about it. But when he heard Dong Solstice say this, he asked with some doubts:
"What kind of Daoist is Taishangdao, haven't you already sent Zhang Jiao, a fairyland, monk to you as a slave? You must know that fairyland monks, except for sects like our Manshan, there are very few in Qingning Daotian, which shows their kindness to their junior brother, but why does the junior brother still say that he is worried about Taishangdao?"
Dong Solstice smiled after hearing this, and explained to Shangguan Chen:
"Senior Brother Chen, when you entered the sect, you were only a weak champion, and now more than two hundred years have passed, so it is not an exaggeration to say that you are not in the deep world. There are many forces we have encountered, but the only one of these forces who has made a move against us is the Taishang Dao family!"
Looking at Shangguan Chen's confused appearance, Dong Solstice continued:
"Senior Brother Chen also knows that Zhang Jiao is a cultivator in the fairyland, and such a monk actually gave me to be a slave? What is a slave, and an obedient person is a slave! Is Zhang Jiao obedient? Listen to yours, He Xingyu's? Or mine? Zhang Jiao only listens to the words of the Taishang Dao, so he is just a slave of the Taishang Dao. The servants of the Supreme Dao are by our side, not to serve us, but to be a sword that hangs above our heads and can fall at any time!"
Shangguan Chen was silent, he couldn't imagine that the world outside the mountain was like this. The reason why Shangguan Chen was able to enter the Barbarian Mountain was because more than two hundred years ago, his father exchanged his life for the qualification to enter the Manshan Mountain, in exchange for the qualification to be able to ask for immortals and ask for immortals, and to be immortal.
In the days in the Manshan Sect, Shangguan Chen did not find the filth on the path of cultivation, and simply thought that cultivation was meditation, cultivating the magic powers, and attaining the path of immortality! But who knew that out of the Manshan Mountain, his clan was ruined, and he was suppressed by a terrifying monk like Zhang Jiao, and he also found that the cultivators were not all people who came out of the dust, and he also felt the calculations of many forces, which made Shangguan Chen constantly doubt whether it was correct to embark on the path of cultivation.
However, what Shangguan Chen really couldn't figure out was Elder George. Although Shangguan Chen couldn't believe the words of the winter solstice in his heart, he couldn't help but believe it. The son of Guiyuan is the top secret of the Manshan Sect, and Dong Solstice has never opened his mouth to tell Pei Qi's master and apprentice about it, but Pei Qi's master and apprentice obviously already know. The winter solstice didn't say it, and I didn't say it. There is only one person who will tell Pei Qi, and that is Pei Qi's sworn brother, Elder George.
Dong Solstice looked at Shangguan Chen's expression gradually becoming solemn, and secretly said badly. The winter solstice knew that although Shangguan Chen had lived for more than two hundred years, his Dao heart had never been condensed.
The premise of whether a monk in the realm of mountains and small mountains can step into the realm of Qiongge is whether he can condense the Dao heart.
What is the heart of the Dao? The heart that pursues the Great Dao and the laws of the world! The Tao is the mother of heaven and earth, and the monk is also the son of the Dao. If a monk wants to enter the fairyland, he must be approved by the Heavenly Dao. Condensing the Dao heart when entering the immortal with the spirit is the first test of the Heavenly Dao for the monk.
In fact, this first test is not difficult, as long as your heart is pure and flawless, and when your mana arrives, the realm will naturally improve. The reason why there are so few immortal realm cultivators in the many sects of Qingning Daotian is that the state of mind is not a problem, but the spiritual energy is thin and the resources are scarce.
However, Shangguan Chen's Manshan Sect supplies spirit stones to disciples under the fairy realm in unlimited quantities, so there is no need to worry about the lack of mana and resources. Moreover, Shangguan Chen has become a monk in the realm of mountains and small places more than a hundred years ago, which shows his great talent. He has extraordinary talents and enough resources, so there is only one reason why Shangguan Chen stopped in the realm of small mountains, and he has regrets!
Shangguan Chen has a defect in his heart, so his mood has never been perfect, and Dong Solstice also knows what the regret in Shangguan Chen's heart is.
Shangguan Chen didn't want to be a high-ranking immortal, he just wanted to be a mortal. Marry your own children, serve your parents, and let your parents enjoy the joy of family. But the qualification to enter the Barbarian Mountain Sect was obtained by his father in exchange for his life, and he couldn't refuse.
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
Shangguan Chen's eyes finally recovered a little from waking up from the three sounds of the winter solstice, looking at the winter solstice full of concern, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Let the junior brother laugh, the foolish brother has not been able to cultivate his state of mind at home after more than 200 years of penance!"
Dong Solstice also shook his head with a smile and said:
"Senior brother has a life span of 1,200 years when he stepped into the realm of mountains and small mountains, and now it is only 200 years, and there are still thousands of years left for senior brother, so there is no need to be anxious. ”
Shangguan Chen listened to the words of the winter solstice but suddenly fell silent, I don't know what he was thinking, and the winter solstice didn't ask, so after about half a pillar of incense, Shangguan Chen said a little gloomily:
"Senior brother, don't comfort the foolish brother. After I joined the sect, I practiced extremely hard, and it took me a hundred years to finally reach the last level of the spiritual realm. Because Yiling Jinxian must end the obsession in my heart, I thought that with this, the sect would let me go home to visit my mother no matter what, regardless of whether my mother is still in the world or not, it can be regarded as an obsession in my heart. But who knew that I had proposed several times to go out of the sect to practice, but Elder George had all found excuses to refuse. ”
When Shangguan Chen said this, tears were already shining in his eyes, and Dong Solstice felt uncomfortable when he saw it, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only continue to be silent. Shangguan Chen slowed down and continued to say in a low voice:
"My parents have turned to dirt, so what's the use of the 1,200-year-old life expectancy? My father exchanged his life for the qualification to enter the barbarian mountain, and the foolish brother had to embark on the path of cultivation. Before entering the sect, I didn't know that the disciples of the Barbarian Mountain could not leave the sect except for the disciples who condensed the Dao heart. Otherwise, even if he goes against his father's wishes, he will definitely serve his mother until a hundred years later. ”
Dong Solstice opened his mouth and was about to be comforted, but Shangguan Chen waved his hand and continued:
"The foolish brother respected his father's last wish, but he couldn't get one step closer, failed to condense the Dao heart, cast the immortal vein, and became a fairyland monk, the foolish brother was ashamed of his father! I was only a little ten years old when I left home, and I was my mother's only child, so I really don't know how my mother spent her life without me and my father.
After Shangguan Chen finished speaking, his clothes were already soaked with tears, and his expression was extremely lonely.
Dong Solstice thought about it for a long time, and said to Shangguan Chen:
"The realm of invincible cold is already the pinnacle of Qingning Daotian, taken from the meaning of invincible cold in high places. If you want to go to a high place again, you can only go to the Pure Dao Heaven, and it is said that there are also 'Dao Realm' monks in the Pure Dao Heaven, and such monks already have the qualifications to ask the Dao. The Dao realm is also divided into three realms, the name is: negative yin, hugging yang, and all things are born!"
Shangguan Chen's sloppy gaze gradually condensed, and he was no longer so godless, but he didn't know what Dong Solstice wanted to say, Shangguan Chen knew about the existence of Dao realm monks, and the owners of many codexes in the Manshan Sect were monks in the realm of negative yin and holding yang. Only the monks of this realm only exist in the conjecture of many sages, and there is no monk of such a realm who has appeared in the world so far, and the monks of today just regard this realm as a legend.
Dong Solstice looked at Shangguan Chen, who was a little puzzled, and continued to explain:
"There are also monks in the two realms of negative yin and hug yang, so the junior brother will not mention it more, but only talk to the senior brother about the monks in this realm of all living beings. The monks of this realm are not legends, and the junior brother can tell you for sure that the monks of this realm must exist. It is rumored that a monk in such a realm follows his words and follows the law, and all things are born with one thought. ”
Shangguan Chen was even more puzzled when he heard the words of the winter solstice, and asked:
"All things are born, even if there are really monks in such a realm, what can they do?"
Dong Solstice smiled and said:
"It's true that if someone else becomes a monk in the realm of all things, but if you become a monk in the realm of all things, then there is a lot to be done!"
Shangguan Chen's eyes suddenly bloomed with a strong brilliance, and he said with some trembling:
"Is it possible that a monk in the realm of all things can live the dead, but not give birth to white bones?"
Dong Solstice nodded and said:
"First of all, let's talk about what everything in this world can be separated from the way of yin and yang? Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the cold and heat, men and women? It is nothing more than the way of yin and yang! In the same way, life and death are also in the way of yin and yang. It is rumored that a monk in the realm of pure Dao Heaven and Yang can even forcibly intervene in a void place such as the reincarnation path, so it can be seen that if the senior brother can become a monk in the realm of all things, it is not difficult to forcibly search for people who are close to his bloodline and soul in the reincarnation, and then reshape the soul for him, and then cast the body!"
Dong Solstice looked at the hope in Shangguan Chen's eyes, and continued to add a fire:
"Being on the highest mountain, you can see all the mountains at a glance. Being in the highest palace in the sky, it is naturally cold at a high place. However, all things are born, but all things are born by one thought. People in this realm follow the law, saying that there is light, then there is light. If there is a sun and a moon, then there is a sun and a moon. It is said that there is day and night, and then there is day and night. ”
Shangguan Chen stared at Dong Solstice's face and asked in a hoarse voice:
"What if a monk in the realm of all things says that he wants his parents to be reborn, to transcend the sea of suffering, and not to fall into reincarnation?"
Dong Solstice said solemnly:
"It's just a thought!"
The ghost blows the lamp
