Chapter 343: Tucheng
Chu is a country that has existed for thousands of years, and many people have forgotten how long Chu has existed, and perhaps only the royal family of Chu can know how many years this empire that occupies most of the territory of the Central Plains has existed.
In particular, the capital of Chu is an imperial city with a long history, which has witnessed the birth, old age, sickness and death of generations of emperors for thousands of years.
In fact, what many people don't know is that the small earthen city that is more than 60 miles south of the imperial city was built together with the imperial city. It's just that the imperial city has become incomparably majestic and tall after the blessing of the emperors of the past dynasties, while the small earth city has become a slightly dilapidated small town after thousands of years of wind and frost.
Although it is a little dilapidated, the small town is still a little prosperous, after all, it is close to the capital, there are slightly more peddlers and pawns, and there are caravans that have traveled thousands of miles from here to rest their feet.
Therefore, there are many restaurants and inns in this city, and in this earthen city, among the largest restaurants, there is such a strange group of people, a handsome young man, a middle-aged man with a mustache, a pale middle-aged man, next to them, there is a monkey and an owl!
Attracted passers-by to look at each other curiously, and then left.
And the table of this group of people, full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, although the small earth city does not look good from the outside, the inside is prosperous and abnormal, next to the restaurant, there are two green buildings.
This group of people is none other than Wang Mu.
"Well, things from the mundane world taste good!" said the monkey softly to the Divine Owl, "you stay there until your head is rusty, come and taste the spirits of the world!"
Wang Mu warned them not to speak, and the province startled the passers-by, which attracted attention.
Even so, the gray monkey couldn't help but say a few words to the Divine Owl, and even asked for a table of delicacies in the restaurant, ready to come to the banquet of the Divine Owl.
The Divine Owl said lightly: "Time flies, after the years, the secular world has changed greatly, you and I have now become like this, even if the delicious food is not too attractive to this seat, that is, you can be caused by this table of wine and food to cause gluttony in the intestines!"
The gray monkey sneered, crunched and crunched to break a chicken leg, and then said: "What do you know, for a long time, if you don't retain some desires, do you want me to be like the old way of cultivating a bull's nose, pure heart and few desires, too forgetful?"
"Taishang forgetfulness, what is it?" Wang Mu, who had been eating, asked after hearing this.
The Divine Owl was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a long-standing gaze, he looked into the distance, seemed to penetrate the barrier between the years and the mountains and seas, and saw something, before he came back to his senses and said to Wang Mu: "Isn't what a cultivator pursues is the supreme immortal path?"
Wang Mu nodded, and Gou Zheng also nodded at the same time.
"But what are the immortals pursuing, what are they pursuing, they are living with the sky, what else is there to worry about? But they are still worried, just like the heavens and the earth are old, and the immortals will gradually grow old, and slowly grow old like the heavens and the earth. The Owl said.
"Immortals will also die?" Gou Zheng couldn't help but say.
The Divine Owl said: "Immortals will not die, but live with heaven and earth, after the heaven and earth are old, the immortals have entered the five decays of heaven and man, and their life span has come to the end of reincarnation, if they do not experience three disasters and five tribulations, they can only return to reincarnation from the new one, and they can return to the immortal path after a long time!"
Gou Zheng and Aoki Daoren were shocked when they heard it, and the immortals will also be old, so what is eternal?
The immortals are all old, can other creatures still exist? Wang Mu was also a little puzzled for a while, so what were their cultivators cultivating, and the origin of the divine owl and the gray monkey was mysterious, and they even found the immortal grave of a fallen immortal.
Now I hear that immortals will also experience aging, which is even more shocking than seeing the immortal tomb, after all, what exists in the immortal tomb, no one can say, even the divine owl is only suppressing, there is no sign of wanting to open it, it can be seen that the divine owl is also secretive about the tomb!
Which immortal is in the tomb, the Divine Owl didn't say, and Wang Mu didn't know, but the gray monkey and the Divine Owl teamed up to seal the immortal tomb, proving that the existence inside made the gray monkey feel a little dangerous!
And now, the immortals will grow old and enter reincarnation, so is it the immortal who is too forgetful as the god owl said?
The Divine Owl continued: "If an immortal wants to jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and also experience the Three Tribulations and Nine Tribulations, he must practice his true self and seek himself, and the Taishang Forgetfulness is the fastest way to reach this realm!"
"Great Immortal, that is too forgetful, is it the first of one of the three statues we will meet below?" Gou Zheng asked.
The Divine Owl raised his eyes, looked at Gou Zheng and said, "You actually know the Three Venerables?
Wang Mu didn't know exactly what the existence of the three statues was, but seeing Gou Zheng's extremely respectful appearance, it proved that the three statues were ancestors in Gou Zheng's Fire Worship Sect.
Just like the Lingtai Sect of their Lingtai Sect, there are various honorable positions of the Lingtai Sect that have become immortals, and after the monk becomes a deacon disciple or elder, he has to go to meet the ancestral immortals!
"Great Immortal, the villain was originally worshipping the Fire Sect, and we respected the Flame Immortal, but we also had to worship the Three Immortals, and the Flame Immortal was the disciple of one of the three Venerables!" Gou Zheng said.
"Flame Immortal, such a cheesy immortal, is it the Nine Flame Supreme, or the Fire Virtue?" said the Divine Owl.
Gou Zheng's face was confused, and he didn't know what they were going to say, but the only thing he had to do since he entered the Fire Worship Sect was to worship the Flame Immortal.
"Since he is a disciple of the Three Venerables, it seems that the origin should not be underestimated! As for the specific immortal name of the Flame Immortal, this seat can't remember it for a while. The Owl said.
"However, Taishang Forgetfulness is indeed the first saint of the three deities, it is said that the one who likes to play in the three thousand worlds, and when he sees a smart person, he will train it and accept it as a registered disciple, maybe you, the Flame Immortal, will also receive it like this!"
Gou Zheng didn't know what to say, Wang Mu seemed to hear something, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that the Three Venerables have surpassed the existence of immortals? Only this supreme existence can live forever?"
"Hehe, boy, those three are the strongest three I have ever seen in my life, as for the immortals, it would be good to be able to lift their shoes, but immortality does not need to achieve their realm, as long as they can jump out of the three realms, they will not be attracted by the six realms of reincarnation, and they will not have to go through three calamities and five tribulations!" said the gray monkey.
"Yes, as long as you can find your true self, you will become an immortal in the eyes of immortals, and you will be called a true immortal!" The eyes of the divine owl showed a look of all immortals looking at the world, which made Wang Mu, Gou Zheng and Aoki Daoren all look shocked.
This is what the Divine Owl should look like, extremely domineering, looking down on the world!
"It is useless to say more to you, it will only cause trouble to your Dao heart! Now under this Heavenly Dao, what you can do is to break the cage of your cultivation, so that you can have the opportunity to go out and see the outside world!" said the Divine Owl.
His eyes saw through the roof tiles on the second floor, saw through the clouds floating in the sky, and looked into the distant sky!
"Don't stop Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben wants to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to rob Young Master Ben's room, don't you know, in this city, who is the first son in the world?"
Suddenly, a strong force came from the door, followed by a rush of footsteps.
"Huang Gongzi, the people here are also unintentional, it was Xiao Er who made a mistake, and please ask Gongzi to calm his anger!"
"Oh, what's going on with this door, it can't be opened?" Huang Gongzi shouted loudly outside, wanting to alarm the tenants inside.
This Huang Gongzi is the nephew of the city lord of this loess city, he has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child, he is used to being obeyed, and when he sees that the best room he has been using is rented, his eyes are extremely angry, this is simply a naked slap in the face!
Moreover, the children of the ordinary powerful will not rest here for long, how can they go to a room during the day!
