"You must be full of confusion right now, well, I'll settle all your confusion. In the stone palace, the voice of the white-headed old man sounded again, Shi Yu looked up, but the figure of the old man was gone, he suddenly disappeared out of thin air, Shi Yu's eyes were wide open because of surprise, and his mouth was also wide open, which could be stuffed into a fist, and after a moment, almost no time interval, the old man suddenly appeared in front of him again, only three feet away from him.

"Wow, ah, ah, ah......" Shi Yu was startled, and fell to the ground in fright, using his hands as feet, his buttocks rubbed on the ground, and he retreated backwards at great speed, and his running hands drew out the afterimage of the Dao, which was probably the fastest speed he had ever used in his life, and he was a little funny in his embarrassment. After exiting for several feet, he stopped, and suddenly felt that his hands were swollen, hot and painful as if they had been burned.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" After stopping, Shi Yu asked, since he stopped, he found that the person in front of him, although he was full of white hair, was not an old man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was like a crown of jade, and his demeanor was flying, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person in his seventies and eighties, wearing a gray robe, and there was a sense of fairy wind and bones.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not a human or a ghost, and I won't hurt you, don't worry. ”

"It's not a human or a ghost, is it a god?"

"Immortals, yes, I am the immortal in your mouth. ”

"What do you mean by the gods in my mouth? Are you immortals?"

"You know that there are gods and immortals, but you know that gods and immortals are different, gods are gods, immortals are immortals, since you think that this world is not a human or a ghost, it is a fairy, then of course I am the fairy in your mouth. ”

The two of you said a word, and after talking for a long time, Shi Yu gradually took off his guard, and the person in front of him seemed to have no malicious intent, and he always had a comfortable smile on his face.

He believed the words of the self-proclaimed immortal, slowly got up from the ground, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, am I dead?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that his words were a little abrupt, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't care so much.

"You're not dead, it's me who rescued you from the claws of the bird, this is my cave, now it's just you and me, the fairy, if you have any questions, just ask me, I know everything you want to know." "Immortals" showed plenty of sincerity.

"It turns out that you really saved me, I thought you were the king of Yama. Then why do you pretend to be an old man and lie to me, and why do you say that you want to take me as an apprentice?"

"The old man didn't lie to you, I've lived for hundreds of years, isn't it still an old man to you? As for saying that you are an apprentice, it is very simple, I just want to accept you as an apprentice. ”

Shi Yu thinks about it, the reason why the immortals are called immortals, the lifespan is naturally different from ordinary people, since the immortals are willing to accept themselves as apprentices, it is a good thing, and when they learn to ride the clouds, they can fly home as soon as possible, besides, since he is an immortal, maybe there is a way to cure Xueyan's dumb disease.

"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Shi Yu stood up straight, about to kowtow.

"No need, I just understand it, I don't like your mortal set the most, and I just kneel down at every turn. The "fairy" supported Shi Yu's knees from a long distance, Shi Yu didn't even see him make a move, just stood still, watching the "fairy" show his magical powers, Shi Yu was also very happy, because he was now his master.

"When we meet for the first time, you believe what my husband said, I like your innocent temperament, but this is also very dangerous, you remember, in addition to what the teacher said, you only believe in three points when you see people, don't trust the wrong person with your sincerity"

"Well, I remembered. Shi Yu agreed, this is his second master, the first is Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen also said something similar about not trusting others too much, so he feels that this master is also good for him, and he is silently happy for this.

"What I said, you remember now, and later, you will understand. ”

"Don't worry, master, the apprentice will remember. Shi Yu said confidently.

"As a master and apprentice, I have a magic weapon to give you, and a mission to entrust to you, you come here, I will teach you the magic weapon first. ”

Shi Yu walked forward and walked to the master's side.

"You close your eyes first. ”

Shi Yu did so and closed his eyes.

"Immortal" stretched out a hand and pressed it lightly on Shi Yu's forehead, Shi Yu immediately felt a strange cracking sensation on his forehead, and the cracking feeling gradually intensified, but he didn't feel pain, and soon, "Immortal" withdrew his right hand and said, "Okay, open your eyes." ”

Shi Yu opened his eyes and touched his forehead with his hand, strange, nothing.

"Master, what kind of magic weapon did you teach me, why is there nothing?" Shi Yu asked.

"It's a strange eye, you can't open him now, and when you can really open this eye, it must have a huge effect on you. ”

"Oh, eyes, I already have two eyes, and this one and that have three eyes?" Shi Yu felt incredible, his eyes were given by his parents, but he didn't expect to be able to put them on his head like this, it was amazing.

"Then what is the mission that you want to entrust to me, master?" Shi Yu couldn't wait to see what the master was going to bring him something different.

"Ang...... It's a bit complicated to say, and you can't understand a few words, so I'll start with the long run. ”

The "fairy" put away the kind smile on his face and became serious, "Where do you start...... Let's start with the topic of the difference between humans, immortals, and gods, and tell the master first, what is the difference between the three?"

"People, of course, like me, you have to walk with your feet wherever you go, and the immortal is different, the immortal is a person who can soar the clouds and drive the fog, fly to the sky and the earth, and use the clouds and rain, as for the gods, I thought that the immortals and gods were one, but since the master said that they are different, then the gods should be stronger than the immortals or the immortals are stronger than the gods. ”

"Yes, in terms of ability, immortals are stronger than people, and gods are stronger than immortals. But from the perspective of historical origin, people and immortals are just two gourds on a vine. Between this heaven and earth, there are two kinds of power, one is the power of yang, the other is the power of yin, the power of cultivating yang, called immortals, the power of yin and yang into one, can release a more powerful power, called gods, gods are the power of immortals to achieve but few people can reach. The power of yin and yang exists in all things in the form of 'qi', and the power of yang is called yang, also called aura, and the power of yin corresponds to this, which is called yin, also called underworld. The power of yin and yang is an indispensable element of all things in the world, if there is yang, there must be yin, and if there is yin, there must be yang, and living things, such as birds, beasts, insects, and fish, are generally heavier than yin in their bodies, and dead things, such as mountains, rivers and lakes, are generally heavier than yang in their bodies. ”

Shi Yu was a little ignorant when he heard it, but he remembered his master's words firmly and believed that he would understand one day.

"Immortal Master" did not pause, and continued to tell Shi Yu: "In the primeval period, the heavens and the earth were first opened, the world was barren, floods and deserts ravaged the earth, and I don't know how many thousands of years later, the heavens and the earth gradually had vitality, and ancient beasts appeared. The division of gods, only the existence of people, and then after the evolution of the ages, among thousands of people, there is a person born a special physique, can sense the aura between heaven and earth, and can also incorporate the aura into the body, this special ability allows him to obtain the power beyond ordinary people, with the first, there will be a second, from then on the immortals and people separated, this is the origin of the immortals, this can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, the physique, also by later generations, called the spiritual root. ”

Shi Yu listened quietly, the master told him about a magical and colorful world, as if this was not the world he was in, he listened with relish, although he thought of a question at this time, but he did not immediately interrupt the master's words, and listened carefully to the master's explanation of the origin and development of this world.

However, the change in his fleeting expression did not escape the master's eyes, and the "Immortal Master" raised his eyebrows and said, "I see that you seem to have some doubts, even if you speak out, don't hide any doubts, so that I can explain things clearly." ”

Shi Yu didn't hesitate and asked, "Master, you just said that in the primeval period, there was only a barren land between heaven and earth, and people only appeared much later, so how did the master know about these things? Does the master have the ability to know the past and the future?"

"This is the way is also ......", and the words of "Immortal Master" suddenly stopped abruptly and stopped suddenly.

"What is the Tao?" Shi Yu's curiosity had already reached a peak, and he asked eagerly.

"The so-called Tao is the Tao, the Tao is not the Tao, the Tao itself is invisible, the virtual and the real depend on each other, and the teacher can only tell you what the Tao is like, as for what the Tao is, only you will experience it in the future. ”

"Master, you say, I remember everything. ”

"Everything in the world, whether it is the stars or mustard Sumeru, the mountains and seas or the dust, cannot escape the cycle of life and death, this is the power of the Tao. In other words, this world, over and over again, endlessly, formless has its own mechanism, in the control of the fate of all things, the Tao is divided into three layers, the first layer is the law, the law is vertical and horizontal, and then reaches the second layer, the array. Above the array is the Tao. The Dao Dharma Circle is not a simple hierarchical relationship, to give a rough example, the wind blows the leaves and falls like the law, the wind rolls the wild forest, the trees are swaying, such as the array, and the four seasons change, the leaves fall and the leaves are born, it is like the Tao, all of this, it is complicated to say, after you learn the spell, it is not difficult to understand, and you will slowly understand it in the future. ”

Shi Yu nodded lightly.
