It was pitch black.

"Well, it's so dark, I don't even have a single lamp. Po: Grandpa?"

There was no response, and there was no response.

"I... It seems like... I'm not been... Wait, where is this? How am I..."

The pure darkness in front of him made Li Yun want to scratch his head. But then he suddenly found that he could not even do such a simple movement, because he had no hands, not even a body, like in the darkness of the abyss, he could not see anything, touch nothing, and feel nothing.

"Could it be... I'm here, burp?" Li Yun said uncertainly to the empty darkness.

But no one answered.

"Hey ?!!!"

Li Yun shouted.

......

After a long time, Li Yun gave up trying. He began to stare without saying a word, staring at the darkness in front of him, and the darkness in front of him stared at him, but there was only black except black.

"I heard my grandfather say that when people die, it seems that they generally have to go to the underworld, and according to the good and evil they did before their death, they will re-enter the six realms of reincarnation.... I'm only fifteen... Should be.. Fifteen, well, fifteen is not full, I have been dealing with rags in this life, and I don't seem to have done anything lacking in morality, why did the Lord of Hades arrest me? I shouldn't throw me into the pig's nest, right? What is the Impermanence Lord like? Why haven't you come to pick me up after so long, this is not in the village or behind the store, it's strange and lonely!" Shrugged the shoulders that didn't exist, Li Yun became a little bored.

Li Yun felt a little bored and a little flustered. Lonely ghosts, unjust ghosts, fierce ghosts... These are still some Maoshan and what Zen monasteries have taken away, and no one cares about him, even if he shouts grievances, there is nowhere to shout. If you really become a little ghost, you are also the most aggrieved.

Just as he was about to complain a few more words, he didn't know whether it was far away or near, above or below, suddenly there was a light, just like the silent night was suddenly torn apart by the big hand of the gods, penetrating into the sky, dazzling and dazzling!

"Huh, isn't this..."The long-standing darkness was suddenly broken by the light, which made Li Yun a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't forget the light that exuded a faint purple cloud, good guy, the guy who caused himself to this broken place in the dark winter has to be remembered when he turned to ashes.

Since it's too dark and you're too bright, take advantage of your light and borrow a lamp?

Li Yun grabbed at the strange light, although the light didn't look close, but it wasn't very far, although he didn't have a hand, he just caught it. Because, from beginning to end, there is no such thing as whether this light will appear or not, it is here, it has always been here, just like Li Yun has always been here.

With light, it is naturally no longer dark, and when it is no longer dark, it is natural to see clearly, and when it is seen clearly, it will naturally wake up.

A bright ray of sunlight shone on Li Yun's dark and green face, well, a little dazzling, but very warm.

"Hmm..."

Rubbing his eyes, Li Yun found himself sleeping on an old wooden bed, with a low table that was black to gray and gray to black on the side, a row of old bookcases against the wall, and a pair of yellowed ink characters on the opposite side. Li Yun couldn't recognize a few words, but he just happened to recognize these - the Dao Qi lasts forever!

Of course he recognized it, because it was written by Grandpa. Although the Broken Taoist Temple is broken, there are still a few houses, and the one he is lying in is the one where his grandfather lives. Although grandpa's words look crooked, they really don't look good, Li Yun used to feel like this, but now why does this character feel more and more ... Hmm, although it's still not good-looking, but it seems that he really has some spirit that his grandfather said? Staring at the four simple four big characters, Li Yun was a little stunned.

"Words are written by people, and the people who write have spirit, and of course words have spirit. And if the person who reads the words has no spirit, he can't see the ugliness, today you can see the spirit in the words, that proves that it's almost, it's okay. ”

The old voice slowly came from outside the window lattice.

Almost? Okay?

What's pretty much it?

Stumbling to put on his clothes and pants, he pushed open the wooden door, and faced a cold winter wind, Li Yun tightened his big black torn jacket.

In the backyard was a square earthen dam, and on the edge of the cliff was a black, scorched and dead crooked-necked pine tree, and by the side stood a wizened old man.

Dressed in coarse linen clothes, a dead wood cane, and frost-white silver hair was slightly messy in the awe-inspiring winter wind, quite a bit of fairy wind bones. But in Li Yun's opinion, it is estimated that he is cold and stupid, his feet are wooden, and he can't walk.

So, as he had done before, he walked briskly forward, trying to carry the old man back into the house.

Today, though, is clearly a little different. In the past, it was him and Ah Bao, one on the other. Po is not here today, and the old man has not moved.

"Don't worry, although grandpa is old, he is not so old, and he can still stand the cold. Also, grandpa is not crazy yet, and he can walk. The old man turned his head and looked at Li Yun with a smile, the dark brown eyes in the slightly sunken eye sockets changed from the gray vicissitudes of the past, and looked extraordinarily bright, I don't know if it was an illusion, it seemed that the face full of wrinkles and spots on weekdays had become a lot more ruddy.

This is Grandpa? Yes, this is Grandpa. Why does it seem to be getting younger, forehead, and the back is not hunched, I didn't expect grandpa to be so tall, he has to look up...

The face is still clear, but there is always something different... What's the difference? Li Yun couldn't help but scratch the messy black oily head.

"I said, Xiaoyun, it's not a big girl, can you stare at grandpa's face and make a flower? Do you want to say that grandpa has become younger?" As if seeing that the child was a little stupid, the old man patted the young man's thin shoulder.

"Ahh Um, no, grandpa, how do you know what I think? Wait, and what you said is pretty much the same, okay, what do you mean? Why am I on the mountain, I'm not with Po... By the way, that light! By the way, Ah Bao, why did he send me back?" Li Yun came to his senses and found that his grandfather was still looking at him with a smile, but no matter how he looked at it, the smile was a little mysterious.

"Kid, don't worry, it was... I want to wait until you and Bao'er are older, although your child was born with a bit of a bumpy fate, fortunately, I met my old man, and Bao'er's life is not good, but fortunately, with you, his little life is always picked up..."The old man did not answer Li Yun's question directly, but muttered about him and Ah Bao's childhood.

"Grandpa... What the hell do you want to say, why are you talking about such a long way away?" Li Yun heard about his experience when he was a child, but his expression darkened slightly, but then he recovered, and he didn't know what unbearable past he could look back on under that somewhat resolute childish face.

"You kid, don't worry, you think grandpa is getting older, and he's becoming verbose, right?"

Blowing his beard and glaring, Li Yun was a little confused, where is this?

"No, you say, Xiaoyun listens. Li Yun immediately made a well-behaved appearance that you said I listened, and he has always respected his grandfather's words.

"Xiaoyun, do you believe that there are immortals in this world?" Looking at the faint sky in the distance, the old man's deep eyes seemed to reflect a different world.

Although this sentence itself is a very divine sentence, it was still said by the old god stick grandfather who has always been slandered by the two Rainbow Dash brothers, but Yun Ge'er did not directly deny it, after all, he was just stunned by a thunderbolt from Ah Bao's crow's mouth.

So he still said cautiously, "What do you think?"

"Naturally... Anyway, Xiaoyun, do you believe grandpa?" retracted his gaze, the old man turned sideways, and stopped talking.

"Grandpa, why are you talking so much today... Slurping... I, of course I believe you, except for Ah Bao in this world, I am such a relative as you, who do you believe if you don't believe it?" was stared at by his grandfather, and Li Yun didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Haha, what are you doing like this, grandpa won't eat you. Xiaoyun, what do you think, grandpa, I am very old, what is this practice for decades?"

"What are you fed, aren't you a Taoist priest, of course you are the ancestor in the hall of Feng..."Li Yun couldn't help but turn his head to look at the ancient temple behind him that was hidden in the lonely old forest spring.

"Yes, Master Zu, of course it is to be served, after all, it is the Dao system passed down from his old man's family, but, do you know where the Dao system of Master Zu came from?" The old man's voice seemed to become very far away, as far away as the elusive floating clouds in the sky.

"Where did Master Zu's Taoism come from? How do I know this little kid, you have to ask Master Zu?" Li Yun found that his grandfather was not only physically better, but also mentally better, and he also said a lot, and it was mysterious!

"Haha, that's a good answer. Master Zu naturally knows, but have you ever heard of the four words "Taoism and Nature?" the old man stroked his long white beard and laughed loudly.

"Of course you know, these words, you just say these words, it's hard to think if you don't know?" Brother Yun said in his heart It seems that this dragon gate array has to be put on the table for a while, grandpa doesn't know which tendon is wrong today, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

"Do you know what that means?" said the old man, like an old pedant in the old private school.

"What do you mean? Don't you often chant, 'Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, the Tao is natural', this is the way of nature..."Li Yun said, shaking his head and shaking his head, learning from the old man on weekdays, pretending to be a mysterious tone, looking a little funny.

"Uh-huh, yes, go on, how?" The cloudy eyes in the old man's thin eyes flickered at this time, as if Brother Yun was a rare jade.

Although he was a little uncomfortable to be seen by his grandfather's eager eyes, he suddenly had a bad idea in his head, grandpa's sudden appearance was not the return to the light that the older generation said...

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Li Yun said after looking the old man up and down.

"What are you talking about, although your grandfather's kung fu is not high, but it is not a problem to live him for another one or two decades, don't think that your kid is thinking in his heart Grandpa doesn't know, those half buckets of water that don't even understand the innate hexagram are really scourge dolls, is this how to return to the light, the code words of our Daomen are those who can understand. Don't say it's different, let's talk about it, what do you think of the four words of Taoism and nature?"

As if penetrating Brother Yun'er's thoughts, he waved his hand, and the old man directly interrupted Li Yun's thoughts, and scolded those stall gentlemen who might have really driven the crane west.

"The Tao is natural, I don't know a few big characters, you..."Porridge is used to drink, dry rice is planed, Li Yun knows, this is the job of the storyteller."

"You kid, why are you such a big man with me, and you don't have any ideas when you listen to me read these words every day?" the old man continued patiently.

"Naturally, I know, just say that everything in heaven and earth is nature, every grass and tree in this mountain is nature, birds, beasts, insects and fish are nature, birth, old age, sickness and death are nature, and Bao's love of eating fresh steamed buns is also natural... As for the Taoism you mentioned, isn't it the trick of those Taoist priests who draw talismans everywhere with a peachwood sword on their backs to catch ghosts drawn in the villain's book? I think that since everything is natural, then the Taoism is naturally also natural. Speaking of which, you are also a Taoist priest, why haven't I seen you play a few tricks, you are not a fake Taoist priest, right?" Although it is now about to enter a new era, children like Yun Ge'er, who have not been educated in the orthodox school of broken words and literacy, and who have been reading sentences and sentences, have also seen their grandfather speak some Taoist words since they were young.

As for the Taoism, it is even more Miaozhi, although I have three thousand Taoist Daomen and Taoist treasures, and there is no lack of Fu Seal essence, and there are more transcendent saints, with starlight as ink, Sichuan Ze as a volume, an iron pen, outlining mountains and rivers, often thousands of miles, specializing in the ancient immortal master of the talisman array. But nowadays, these folk methods of storage and capture are just trivial side doors. But... Although you kid can't explain the literature and science, it's still very interesting, the Tao is natural, nature is natural, naturally, it really changes everything, hahaha, wonderful!" Grandpa seems to have fallen into a bit of a self-forgetful speech.

Wonderful?

Li Yun was a little dizzy.

"Grandpa, can we stop dragging the text, your chanting is enough to make people want to sleep..."

"Jump!"

"Ouch, grandpa, why are you knocking on my head?" Li Yun cried out in pain, but he didn't expect grandpa's strength to become a lot bigger.

"Tell you kid to play tricks, punish you a little, and make you honest. You and Ah Bao grew up in this ravine and water, although they are really naughty, but isn't the heart of a young child the true meaning of returning to the basics, and it is a shame that you have not yet been infected with those addictions in the world... Xiaoyun, come, let me ask you, are you willing to be a carefree person who is not afraid of life and death?"

The old man's expression was a little cynical and a little solemn.

"Ah, not afraid of life and death, grandpa, your dragon gate array is a little floating, don't you just say that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural, people will get old, they will die, how can there be any people in this world who will not get sick, this person will slowly sink into the ground when he is old, when will a person not die in these ten miles and eight towns? Grandpa, don't you be told that they are already old and go to the Western Elysium, those who die of old age, those who die of illness, and those who die of starvation, are not hooked by the underground Lord of Hades?" Li Yun found that his grandfather may really be old, he has believed in this ancestor for so many years, and he has not seen a spirit to make him ascend to immortality, if he can really not grow old and immortal, how can grandpa be old? He is still free? He is free to pick up garbage every day, and he can't talk about it.

"Hehe, don't mumble in your heart, I just ask you, are you willing to worship under my door and practice the art of immortality?"

Is this to accept apprentices?

"What? Worship you as a teacher? How can anyone worship grandpa as a master? Besides, you are reciting mantras in addition to fasting and meditating, and if you want to put it in the past, maybe someone will eat your set and take you as a master, and now... To put it mildly, you see what this view has broken into, now people are talking about science, and your old eight sets are not top those who look at feng shui and sell their heads... It is impossible for Ah Bao and I to stay in the mountains for the rest of our lives, and if we really go out to make a living in the future, we will have to drink the northwest wind by relying on this. Li Yun's big dark eyes were full of question marks, and he was still immortal? Although Grandpa looked very long-lived. Not old?well, it doesn't look like it.

"Hey! I'm going to... If you want to put it for a while, I don't know how many people want to worship under the old Tao, why are you such a little rabbit... Let's just ask you, do you believe it or not?" "The mantle that he is proud of is actually regarded as a shoehorn by his grandson, and the contempt is really angry, the old Taoist priest is born with one Buddha and two Buddhas.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll just say this, you're old, don't be angry. I worship, can't I worship?" Li Yun hurriedly patted the old man's back, for fear that he would be angry.

"Plop!"

Li Yun knelt down in front of the old man.

"Master is above, please accept Xiaoyun, no, please accept Li Yun's worship!"

Learning from the Journey to the West in the comic strip when Sun Wukong worships Bodhi Ancestor as his teacher, Li Yun wants to kowtow. Heart Dao, it's not a big deal to worship grandpa as a teacher, grandpa master, master grandpa, how to call it, isn't it all the same?

"Hmm... Alright, alright, this is a good boy, get up.;" The old man sat in front of him with a very useful expression.

"What, grandpa... Master, hehe, don't all those paintings have to worship the ancestor first, and then the master, is it out of order for us to worship like this?" grinning, suddenly changed his words, and couldn't adapt for a while, Li Yun patted the soil on his knees, got up and asked carefully.

"Haha, it's okay, Master Zu naturally has to be in awe in his heart, but he is not limited to the form, the cultivators don't talk too much red tape, and my faction will be cheaper to engage in, kowtow, salute, even if you enter my family." Your layman and my surname are Li, is this Taoist number, it is the thirty-eighth generation of your generation, and it is just the same as your name in terms of generation, so you will be Pu Yunzi, how about it?" After the apprenticeship ceremony, the old man directly began to give Li Yunan a number of Taoist names.

"What you say is what you say, but, master, what kind of heavenly immortal is the ancestor of our faction, there is a wooden statue in this hall, and I haven't heard you talk about it before. Li Yun said to the old man, he didn't dare to hit his grandfather anymore, he was such a relative, and he had to bear it himself.

"Master Zu, hehe, you don't have to know this too clearly now, you just need to know that there is such a Master Zu, and you will know when you are successful in the future. The old man narrowed his eyes and got up and walked to the lobby.

"Success, what kind of merit, it can't be the immortal merit you said, right?" Li Yun asked as he followed.

"Haha, what do you say, although you and Bao'er's root apparatus are not bad, but... If it weren't for the fact that your kid's heart has been opened, I would have to observe this kind of transcendent method of dual cultivation for a few more years, and weigh whether I can see through it or not with you. Hmm, cough, the heavens can't be leaked, the old way almost leaked his mouth, but no matter what, your kid now has enough qi in his body, and the innate sixty-four beads are all incomplete, although the yin and yang half hours are still poor, but the big trick is clear, but you can also start to teach the Fa. ”

The figure of the old man, who had already stepped into the threshold with one foot, paused, dropped this sentence and went to the front hall.

"What's it?Tianxin?What kind of heart is Tianxin?Immortal Yuan?What's all, what's not complete, grandpa, oh, no, what are you talking about?" Li Yun grabbed his head at the second monk behind him.

"Don't rub around outside, come in if you want to know," the old man urged.

"Yes, right away!" Brother Yun stepped into the dilapidated threshold that seemed to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world.

This is going to preach, practice? Then let's cultivate!
