Volume 1 The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 4 The Theory of Giving Up, What is Life and Death
The 30th volume of the Kusha Treatise has clouds: What is life and death? Life, and life, death, and death, between life and death, like a fire on the prairie extinguished in an instant, all fall into reincarnation. ”
In the flickering cave, the little beggar Tang Feng was silent, he looked at the extremely ugly Taoist in front of him, and for a while he was speechless, the two of them stared at each other like this, Tang Feng knew that he had been reduced to fish and meat, and he only had half a pillar of incense to live, but if he wanted to get out, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult......
Thinking of this, Tang Feng shrank back to the stone wall behind him, clasped his arms around his shoulders, raised his head and asked weakly: "This Dao Master, seeing that you are wearing a Dao Bone Immortal Style, you must be an immortal, but why do immortals kill people?"
The rat Taoist leaned up, stroked a few light yellow beards on his chin, smiled at Tang Fengjie, and said: "Hey, hey, little doll, although you are not old, you are much smarter than those children before, at least you dare to ask before you die, today this Daxian is in a good mood, let you die clearly." Subsequently, the rat Dao man told Tang Feng a long story......
It is said that 500 years ago, this place was still called Duya Mountain, and this rat Taoist was originally an ordinary rock rat on the mountain, and his nest was under the boulder on the top of the mountain.
Time is like water, summer to cold, unconsciously, he has lived through the three years of the rat, gradually began to shed his hair, the vision in front of him has become more and more blurred, he deeply felt that his life is short, so he used his last strength to climb out of the hole, looking at the west of the sunset, he gradually closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of the dying moment.
However, on this afternoon, he waited for two strange human beings, these two people were dressed in plain clothes, fairy wind bones, and the leader was holding a strange plate in his palm, and the pointer in the plate was swinging from side to side, which was very magical.
I heard this man say, "There must be no doubt that this is the place." Then the two men sat on the boulder with their backs to the south, meditating cross-legged, not knowing what they were waiting for.
After the two of them sat down on the boulder, the man with the compass noticed a dying rock rat in front of him, and became interested in vain.
He came to the rock rat, closed his eyes slightly, pinched his fingers with one hand, and after a long time, laughed, and asked, "Are you waiting for death?"
The rock rat was surprised to find that it could understand what the human was saying, and it was both excited and scared, so it nodded desperately.
The visitor asked, "Then do you know what life and death are?"
The rock rat looked a little dazed by this question, and then shook his head again.
The person laughed and said, "Life, life, death, death, you and I meet today is the cause and effect of doomed, I give you a elixir today, which can extend your life for a year, and when your merits are complete, you will definitely understand my intentions." Then, a pill floated out of the man's hand and fell into the mouth of the rock rat.
After the pill entered the abdomen, the rock rat felt that his body had undergone a wonderful change, from the gray mouse skin, black hair was reborn, the faint eyes gradually became clearer, and a new vitality filled the whole body again, as if it had returned to two years ago.
The rock rat leaped up from the ground, squeaked and cheered, and he thought that he had met a god from above, so he came to the man's feet, and put his paws together in three waves, and then flew away, and happily burrowed back into his own rat hole.
As night fell, the cold stars dotted, and the rock rat lay in its warm burrow, thinking about what had happened in the evening, when suddenly it had a flash of inspiration: why not let the two immortals teach it some immortal skills, so it drilled out of the cave again, wanting to see if the two immortals were still on the boulder.
Na Cheng thought, as soon as it appeared, a crimson light smashed down, and this red light smashed the boulder and sank into the hole. Coincidentally, a piece of gravel fell on its head impartially, directly piercing half of its head, and the rock rat fell into the hole with blood on its head, dying again.
It's a pity that the excitement just now hasn't passed, and I didn't expect to suffer such a catastrophe again.
Then there was a kind of resentment in its eyes, since God had allowed the gods to renew my life, why did he let me suffer such a catastrophe? Are you joking with me? What is life and death? Is it just to give hope and let it be shattered? The rock rat rolled on the ground in pain, waiting for himself to die again......
Suddenly, a crimson air mass jumped up and down in front of the rock rat, as if it smelled blood, and stretched out a forked tentacle from the air mass, which gently touched the rock rat and retracted.
The rock rat had a splitting headache and suddenly felt something touch it, and when it turned around, it spotted this strange mass.
Only then did the rock rat remember that it was completely caused by this guy when it was hit by the rubble, so it was furious, and tried its best to step forward and bite this mass of qi, but this crimson gas did not dodge or dodge, and let the rock rat bite itself, and even trembled happily.
When the rock rat was biting in the red gas, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred, and it found that its head no longer hurt, and the blood stopped flowing.
The rock rat sat up and began to carefully observe the red gas, and found that as long as it opened its mouth to absorb the red gas, it would have more strength on its body, so it had hope in its heart again, and chased the red gas in the cave to absorb it.
"So you've survived by absorbing the red qi you said for hundreds of years?
Tang Feng asked with a glare.
The rat Dao man was asked by Tang Feng like this, and he was relieved from the memories of these hundreds of years.
He smiled and said, "About three hundred years ago, there were disasters and chaos in the world, and I was still a rat at that time.
Once, I heard two Taoists passing by at the foot of the mountain say that there is a copy of the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth Great Dan Reincarnation Sutra in the Zixiao Jade Dragon Taoist Temple, which records the method that all things can cultivate, so I took advantage of the chaos to steal it out, and I have been practicing it for more than 200 years."
"Since you have learned such a powerful spell, then why do you still want to kill" Tang Feng blinked and asked puzzled.
"When the immortals asked me what life and death were, I still haven't realized it, but since the first time I absorbed that red qi, I found that I couldn't do without its qi, and without qi my body would age in two months, so I stayed here for five hundred years.
One night just three hundred years ago, this strange red aura suddenly awakened, and it was able to communicate with me through consciousness. It told me that only by killing people and sacrificing people according to its methods would it be willing to absorb its aura and help me live forever, and then it burrowed into the ground and only came out once every fifteen days, but it was useless for you to know so much, the time had come, and it was time to send you on your way!"
After that, the rat Daoist picked up Tang Feng and slowly walked towards the center of the altar......
