Chapter 9: Innate Spirituality

Ye Zhaoming said to Bai Yuanfang: "I don't know how to say it, anyway, I'm sure in my heart that it's the breath of life." ”

"What a peculiar person. Bai Yuanfang looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"Uncle Bai, since you can't sense the breath of life, why do you call it the Tree of Life?"

"Because it heals the sick. Bai Yuanfang waved towards the Tree of Life very respectfully and said slowly.

Ye Zhao was surprised, and said with a puzzled look: "How can the Tree of Life act to achieve this miraculous effect?"

"There is no need to act. The sick will be healed in an instant, the wounded will be healed in two days, and the dying will be kept alive. ”

Ye Zhaoming thought for a while and nodded, it turned out to be the effect of life essence, and I thought that this tree had become a spirit and could manifest into a human to help save people, were those eyes just now really my illusion?

Bai Yuanfang looked at Ye Zhaoming with appreciative eyes and said, "Don't be surprised when you encounter strange things, be calm about them." With a blessed fate, you can observe extraordinary things in heaven and earth. With this kind of heart and opportunity, you may be able to embark on the path of immortality in the future. ”

Ye Zhaoming's expression moved, and he said, "Is there really an immortal in this world?"

"Whether there are immortals or not, I don't know, but there are cultivators. When I say immortal path, I mean the path of cultivation, and the ultimate goal of a cultivator is not to become an immortal. Bai Yuanfang said with a look of yearning.

"How can I become a cultivator, and what is so special about a cultivator?" Ye Zhaoming asked solemnly.

Bai Yuanfang sighed and said, "Cultivators can go to the heavens and enter the earth, swim in the mountains of ten thousand times, enjoy the scenery of the nine heavens, enter and exit the abyss dragon sea, transcend the shackles of mortal dust, and return to the natural avenue. But cultivation can be easily achieved without thinking, and there is no way for people in the world to seek teachers, and there is no way to cultivate themselves, and all their lives will return to mortal dust. ”

Ye Zhaoming frowned and said, "Why is this?"

Bai Yuanfang's expression seemed to be reminiscing, and he said: "The disciples of the Immortal Chief are all under the age of ten, because their innate spirituality is less damaged, but there are only three out of ten spirituality, which can be described as very few. ”

"What is Innate Spirituality?"

Bai Yuanfang explained: "When people are just born, they come from nature, there is no good and no evil, they are pure and soft, they are in harmony with the Tao, and they can easily perceive the Tao and reason, which is innate spirituality. ”

"It's a pity that babies are confused and can't think deeply about everything, and they miss the best period of monasticism in vain. As they grow up, their spirituality will gradually be lost, and less than 30% of them can be retained by the age of ten, and the rate of loss will increase dramatically after the age of ten, and the innate spirituality will disappear in no more than half a year at most. ”

Ye Zhaoming said in surprise: "Why is it ten years old?"

"Three is the number of the cycle of all things, but three is exactly this principle, nine is the extreme number of the three-three cycle, and ten is the number of perfection that breaks through the limit after nine, if you can't lose, if you don't live, you die, the number of heaven and earth, the law of nature, everything in the avenue follows its rules. ”

"The age of ten is the turning point of spirituality, and those who should have died spiritually will be able to keep their spirituality after the age of ten. ”

Ye Zhaoming was greatly touched and asked, "Everything is just a 'reason' word, if you hold the secret and refer to cultivation, is it still not good?"

Bai Yuanfang sighed again: "I can understand how the secret art is, but the power comes from heaven and earth, and if you can't communicate the power in nature, everything is in vain." ”

"Besides, the secret art of cultivation is not available to ordinary people, so you can only live an ordinary life and live an honest life. ”

Bai Yuanfang's tone became heavy: "Of course, there will always be people who are not convinced and do not accept their fate, some people seek wealth and nobility in danger, and some people go to the vast world to find immortals, go away from home, explore ancient sites and strange places, and many have disappeared since then and never returned." Alas, the avenue is ruthless, and people are self-sufficient. ”

Ye Zhaoming heard the different meaning, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Bai, have you ever experienced any changes?"

Bai Yuanfang let go of his demeanor, the whole person seemed much more relaxed, waved his hand and said: "The mood has arrived, talk about life insights, nothing has changed." ”

Ye Zhaoming unfolded a sunny smile and said in a slightly envious tone: "Uncle Bai is really a man of great wisdom, knowledgeable and extraordinary. ”

Bai Yuanfang laughed and said, "Those things in the cultivation are all from the preaching of the immortal elder, otherwise you think that I, a pastoral person, can know this?"

"Where can I hear the Immortal Chief's sermon?" Ye Zhaoming said curiously.

"I don't think there will be any more, I did it by accident. Bai Yuanfang's face was quite evocative.

Ye Zhaoming was puzzled: "What's going on?"

"It's a long story, let's go back first. ”

When Ye Zhaoming passed by Old Man Li, Old Man Li closed his eyes and smiled very kindly, I don't know whether to smile at him or enjoy himself.

When I came to Bai Yuanfang's house, I took a bath, changed into a brand new green clothes, and when I came out of the room, I happened to see Aunt Bai cooking.

"Well, it's good, it's very good, it lives up to your good looks. Aunt Bai was very kind and praised it greatly.

"Aunt Bai has won the award. ”

Ye Zhaoming then said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Uncle Bai didn't wear such good clothes, but he gave them to me, a little wrong?"

"He still has a few pieces, which our daughter sends back every few years, usually your Uncle Bai is either in the field or in the mountains, and he can't use it for a while, or the coarse cloth and coarse clothes are durable. ”

"Aunt Bai, why isn't your daughter in the village?"

"She went to the Tao, and she hasn't come back for more than ten years, and I don't know what she looks like now, is she fat or thin?" Aunt Bai said with a wistful look.

Ye Zhaoming's eyelids drooped slightly after hearing this, thinking about something.

At this time, Bai Yuanfang took out a square table from the main hall, placed it under the shade of the big tree in the courtyard, and said to the two people in the kitchen: "Lunch is here, the scenery is good, I'll go get three more chairs." ”

"Aunt Bai, I'm going to help. ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Before long, the three of them sat down at a table and chatted while eating.

"Aunt Bai, you just said that your daughter is cultivating outside, I don't know how she entered the Dao?" Ye Zhaoming asked.

Bai Yuanfang said: "This matter is still for me, there are some things that your Aunt Bai doesn't know very thoroughly." ”

Ye Zhaoming nodded.

Bai Yuanfang reminisced: "My daughter's name is Qing Ling, I remember that when she was eight years old, an immortal chief came from outside the valley to step on a sword, saying that this place is extraordinary, and if a child is born without losing his spirituality, he will have a wonderful understanding. ”

"If the Immortal Chief wants to select the children of the village to bring back to the Dao, we are very happy, knowing that if we have the opportunity to cultivate the Dao, we can at least become the Venerable Master and be admired by the world. So he recruited all the children in the village, five in all. ”

The whole village gathered, the five children stood in a row, and the fairy chief carefully inspected them one by one, first shaking his head slightly at the first two, and then selecting the third child, but the fourth child stopped at a glance, which was obviously not in line with the requirements. ”

When she saw Qing Ling, her expression suddenly froze, and her two fingers quickly hit her eyebrows, and Shao Qing said two good in a row, shouting Hui Soul Body, and said that a special spirit body was evolving in Qing Ling's body. ”
