Chapter 44

Before Ye Qing's words were finished, Xuan Xuozi's figure was long gone. Only one inexplicable sentence was left faintly in the distance:

"The golden phoenix perches on the branch of an extraordinary bird, who has no difficulties and ups and downs, guards the clouds to see the sun and the moon, and dances in the nine skies. ”

Listening to that inexplicable sentence, after Ye Qing looked around, he still didn't find the figure of Xuan Xuozi, and he couldn't help but feel envious for a while: "If I, Ye Qing, have such a cultivation in the future, I'm afraid it will be in vain."

Ye Qing, who had this thought just now, then thought about his inexplicable body, and could only smile bitterly: "Thinking of my firefly light, and also thinking about the light of the sun and the moon, I'm afraid it's a little ridiculous!"

After fixing his complicated thoughts, Ye Qing took a lotus step and walked in the direction of the Immortal Cloud Sect!

Ye Qing carefully pondered the words that Xuan Xuozi explained to him as she walked, however, how could she, who had never intersected with Buddhism since she was a child, understand the artistic conception of these sentences of such profound Buddhism.

At this time, on Wangquan Peak, in Cuizhu Zhai, Lin Yifan and Xue Zilin have now returned from the mountain, and they are sitting in the courtyard dam sorting out the herbs that have just been picked from Wangquan Peak in the basket.

Although Lin Yifan, who had no interest in this cultivation, for some reason, only seemed to have a strong interest in the various strange flowers and plants in this Qihuang technique.

"Brother Xue...... What is this called," Lin Yifan asked Xue Zilin for advice while helping to sort out the medicinal materials.

"Oh, this is called Nine Dead and Alive."

"Nine deaths and grass, so can this bring people back to life?"

"Hehehe......" Xue Zilin looked at Lin Yifan's serious face and chuckled, then continued: "This Nine Dead Grass is also called Curly Cypress, which belongs to the root and stem medicinal materials...... When there is a drought, it shrinks its branches and leaves, rolls like a fist, turns from green to yellow, as if it were dead, but when it sees the rain and dew, it wakes up like a soul, and it is as green as ever, hence the name Nine Dead and Resurrecting Grass!"

"Alas...... It turns out that this is ......" Lin Yifan was a little disappointed.

"There is a good saying, medicine does not die of disease, and the Buddha is destined for people, so ah, where in this world is there any medicine that really brings people back to life, even if there is, it is not called medicine, it is called elixir......"

"Elixir...... Hey, Brother Xue, what do you say you cultivators are for? Is it just to become immortals, but you see that there are so many cultivators in this sect, and no one has risen to the top and bottom of this sect to become true immortals!"

Up to now, Lin Yifan still doesn't understand these people, and he has a good and stable life all day long, but he thinks about cultivating immortals all day long...... If you can really cultivate immortals and attain the Tao, then it's okay, but now I still haven't seen a god or immortal anywhere! For these questions on this path of cultivation, Lin Yifan really couldn't figure out the answer in his heart.

"Why ......?"

Lin Yifan's question made Xue Zilin a little sluggish for a moment. For so many years, he has often asked himself this question in his heart, but like Lin Yifan, there is still no answer. After pondering for a long time, Xue Zilin came back to his senses and sighed softly: "Hehe, for people like us, maybe it's just to live......

"To stay alive ......"

Lin Yifan didn't understand it even more, since he was just to live, why didn't he choose the idyllic life of sunrise and sunset? Why did he choose this really boring cultivation path.

"Yifan, you are still young, life is in the world, and many things need life experience to understand the helplessness and suffering...... Yes, not everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, maybe you don't understand it now, but ...... You'll find out later."

Xue Zilin knew that Lin Yifan didn't understand a little, but he didn't explain much, and he really couldn't explain it.

For Xue Zilin's words, Lin Yifan really can't empathize with him, but now he has also realized that there is indeed a little helplessness in life. It seems that I also understand that my own life is sometimes really not something I can control......

"Come on...... Clean up the floor and get ready to eat, and I'll teach you some ways to enter the Tao after eating. ”

"Well, it's good...... Brother Xue......"

Lin Yifan saw that he had finished cleaning up, so he patted the dirt on his hands, quickly straightened up from the stool, and took a broom to clean up some dirt and some residual branches and leaves on the ground.

Xue Zilin turned around and went to the house to move two benches and a dustpan out and placed them in the courtyard, and then placed the medicinal materials that had just been sorted out in the dustpan to dry...

When Xue Zilin had just done this to fiddle with the medicinal materials, he turned around and saw that Xuan Xuozi had slowly returned from outside the courtyard.

"Master...... You're back."

"Well, Zilin, have you picked up all those herbs?" Xuan Xuzi asked as he looked at the dried medicinal herbs in front of Xue Zilin.

"The master and ancestor are almost there...... However, the three-leaf golden lotus is relatively rare and difficult to find, so ......"

"I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it!" Xuan Xuzi said.

"It's the ancestor...... I got ......."

Lin Yifan, who had already packed up, saw that Xuan Xuozi had just come back, so he asked with some curiosity: "I said old man, where did you go early this morning......

"Where are you going, you little cub, where do I need to greet you?" Xuan Xuozi asked angrily.

"Look at the ...... this old man is giving now"

Although Lin Yifan felt a burst of disdain in his heart, he still said politely: "No, no...... I don't see you today......

"Okay, okay, don't pick up the nice ones there...... Hurry up and get me a chair so I can lie down for a while......"

"It's time to eat...... What are you lying on, this old man is really ......"

Although Lin Yifan muttered in his heart, he also knew that how could a person not bow his head under the eaves, he was saying that he had already worshipped others as a teacher, so he could only do what Xuan Xuozi wanted.

"Zilin...... Is there something wrong with you?" Xuan Xuozi looked at Xue Zilin, who was a little speechless and asked.

Xue Zilin saw that Lin Yifan had turned around and entered the house, so he cautiously told the secret about Ye Qing's body, and asked, "Master...... Be...... That's right, I don't know if you've ever heard of the strange physique of the Elemental Devouring Body......"

"Well, I heard that...... What's wrong......"

"I just want to ask, is this Yuan-devouring body completely hopeless for this cultivation path?"

As soon as Xue Zilin's words fell, Lin Yifan had already moved the chair out and said, "Old man, your chair is here......

"Little cub, let's put it here first, you go and see if the spicy plum rice is ready......"

"Well, well......"

Lin Yifan saw that Xuan Xuozi didn't have any orders, and after answering, he turned around and went to the kitchen. After Xuan Xuzi took the chair and lay down, he continued Xue Zilin's words and replied: "It's not that this Yuan-devouring body doesn't have a chance, but it depends on its own chances...... ”

"Own chance...... Shizu ...... I don't know much about ......."

"You ask these questions about Ye Qing's little girl!" Xuan Xuozi didn't even think about it, and pointed out the little bit of caution in Xue Zilin's heart.

When Xue Zilin heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Master...... You...... How do you know?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you don't have to worry about Ye Qing's little girl if you don't understand, I also know what you want to ask? But you have to know that this Mai Shenxiang, among the many doctrines in the Seven Sects Gossip, although I can see through some people and things, I can't break them, so you don't have to ask more......

"Yes...... Master ......"

"Hehe......" Xuan Xuozi lay on the chair, looked at Xue Zilin, who was a little inexplicably nervous, chuckled, and then continued: "You don't have to worry about these things about Ye Qing, life has its own certainty, since the words are in a hurry, so, you still think about your own problems, now you and Xin Mei have been going up the mountain for some days......"

"Think about my own problems?...... What can I ask for......"

Xuan Xuozi's words made Xue Zilin's heart fog for a while, he really didn't know that Xuan Xuozi would have such a question today.

In addition, thinking that since I went up to the mountain, I have always been cautious, and there is no other rudeness, so I am very puzzled.

However, now that Xuan Xuozi asked like this, he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, so he quickly bowed and asked: "Master...... I don't know if the disciple has done something wrong, but I hope that the master will give me advice, and the disciple must keep it in mind......"

Regarding Xue Zilin's words, Xuan Xuozi shook his head, but did not answer, but asked: "Zilin, if my expectations are good, you should be trapped in the Yuan Infant Stage of the Taixuan Realm for many years now!"

"Yes...... Master ......"

"Hmm...... That's right......" Xuanxuzi nodded, and after answering, he continued to speak: "Zilin, this Taixuan Realm is a watershed in this cultivation path, before the Taixuan Realm, more attention was paid to external cultivation, and the various realms after this Taixuan Realm paid more attention to internal cultivation......"

"And this internal cultivation is not just a simple refining of qi as the element, but the cultivation of a person's state of mind...... I see that your mood is in turmoil now, how can you break through the bottleneck......"

"Yes, do you know why there are so few disciples in this Immortal Cloud Sect who have reached the Taixuan Realm who have reached the Taixuan Realm?"

"Please also ask the master to teach ......"

"On the way of cultivation, you are looking for a pure and inactive path, and you are at ease, but you see that you are now in this Immortal Cloud Sect, and you have been on duty for so many years, and you have long been bound by the dignity and humility of the elders and children in this world, so you have forgotten the most basic state of mind on the path of cultivation...... Therefore, if you are still so cautious in your dealings on this Wangquan Peak, and you cannot forget the dignity of the elders and the young, and the groveling of the knees everywhere, then I will conclude that this is the end of your accomplishments in this life...... In life, you must always uphold the path of cultivation: the body can be bent, but the proud bones cannot be bent, you can understand......"

"Yes...... Be...... Disciple...... The disciple understood......"

Xuan Xuozi's words now were like a slap in the face, which made Xue Zilin instantly stunned in place, and muttered to himself: "I see...... I see......"

After a long time, Xue Zilin came back to his senses, looked at Xuan Xuozi, who had already slept with his eyes down, and after bowing respectfully, he turned around and walked out of the hospital alone without saying a word......

"Old man...... Eat......"

Not long after Xue Zilin left, Lin Yifan had already come out of the courtyard and shouted to Xuan Xuozi, who was lying on this leisurely chair, who was already too empty.

"Old man......"

After Lin Yifan screamed again, Xuan Xuozi opened his eyes faintly and responded, "What's the matter......"

"What can I do? Sister-in-law asked me to invite you to dinner......

"Oh, let's eat it...... Let's eat."

"Where's Brother Xue, why haven't you seen him......"

Lin Yifan rolled his eyes and glanced around, but he didn't see Xue Zilin, so he asked.

"Oh, Zilin...... Zilin should go to the mountains to blow the wind, don't worry about him for now...... Let's eat first......"

"The wind blows in the mountains...... What kind of wind are you going to blow well? These people really don't understand......

With Lin Yifan's muttering in his heart, his stomach was already growling. When he looked out of the courtyard, there was still no Xue Zilin, so he turned around and went into the house......
