Chapter 158: Just One Day
The sun dispelled the gray clouds, and a ray of sunlight shone on the Kunlun Mountains. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sound of Bukit cutting trees came from under the Yao tree:
Knock! knock......
Day after day, year after year.
Over the years, he wielded the axe countless times, and the wounds on the trunk healed countless times, and it seemed that it would never be cut off.
No one ever knew why he did it.
Whenever he put down the axe, he would sit down and think quietly by himself, thinking about the questions that only those who had lived past two hundred years would think.
Sometimes, he even thinks that "immortality" may be just a beautiful metaphor, and "death" is the destination of all people.
There may not be the so-called eternity in the world, the mountains and rivers and the earth are still going through vicissitudes of life, and human life is like a passerby in time.
There is no greater pain in the world than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
Staring at the endless flow of unfrozen spring water, he would always feel sorry for the two disciples who could not get rid of the fate of reincarnation. Even if the two of them turned over the clouds and rain during their lifetimes, they still couldn't stop the torrent of fate from flowing endlessly.
With a long sigh, Bukit swung his axe again, chopping and chopping and chopping......
I don't know how long I chopped, until I saw a familiar figure, the axe raised in the air, and slowly put it down.
The wind swept the dust and blew to the horizon.
The girl dressed in white seems to have come from the sky.
The white boots stepped through the dust, slowly walked in front of Wu Ji, Mu Lingyu bowed and said:
"The disciple has insulted the teacher, and he has come to ask for the guilt, and the teacher and uncle are to punish him!"
Bukit didn't speak, just waved his hand lightly.
Mu Lingyu saw this simple action, and a hanging heart suddenly relaxed. She understood the meaning of that action, that simple wave of her hand, as if she could forgive all the grievances and grievances in the world. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of mistakes she makes, Uncle Shi will use this action to forgive her, and it seems that today is no exception.
Wu Ji looked up at the towering Dayao Tree and said to Mu Lingyu, "Xiao Mu, do you remember this tree?"
Mu Lingyu looked at the tree, as if he saw his childhood figure playing under the tree, and replied slowly: "I remember that Uncle Shi once said that this 10,000-year-old Yao tree is full of treasures. The branches and leaves of the tree can withstand the wind and sand on the mountain, and the fruits on the tree can refine extremely precious elixirs, but the master ...... Why do you want to cut it off now?"
"The trunk of the Yao tree is thick and large, and it is perfect to make a coffin after cutting it down. Wu Ji said, swung the axe again, and slashed the axe!
"Coffin?" Mu Lingyu was stunned and asked, "Who is Uncle going to make a coffin for?"
Bukit muttered, "It's not entirely certain yet, but I think it's probably going to be left to myself." β
Mu Lingyu frowned slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked urgently: "Could it be that the period of the master's tribulation is coming?"
Wu Ji nodded and said, "What I want to cross is a death calamity, or the sanctification of the body, or the soul is scattered, there are only two possibilities. I have decided that this death tribulation is an unprecedented human tribulation, and the person who has reached this calamity is my future disciple. β
Mu Lingyu lowered his head and pondered, and began to understand why Uncle Shi was in a hurry to select a disciple from the registered disciples this year.
Wu Ji looked at Mu Lingyu and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your little girl is so beautiful and gentle...... Have you met anyone over the years?"
β...... No. β
Mu Lingyu lowered his head, his eyes flowed, and his expression became inexplicably nervous.
Seeing that her expression was like that of a child making a mistake, Wu Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "You girl's thoughts, even your white wolf brother can guess clearly, let alone me...... Don't worry, I didn't blame you. I just thought that the lifespan of a mortal is only a few decades at most, so you might as well go first and then come back to practice. β
"Absolutely not!" Mu Lingyu was slightly stunned, and said seriously: "I implore the master to teach the disciple now, the method of getting rid of the mortal heart!"
Wu Ji shook his head and said disapprehantly, "It is not necessarily a good thing to get rid of mortal hearts, but I still have a trace of mortal appetite now." You must know that if a person really cultivates to the realm of no worries, there will be no accidents in his life after that, everything will go naturally, and at first he will cheer for the leaps and bounds of his cultivation, but the more he goes on, the more boring his life becomes. When people reach that state, they will forget the bitter and sweet past, and many things they used to care about will become no longer nostalgic and persistent. Although you can live forever, you only have a lot of time. At that time, a person had the most time, and it was time that looted you. β
Mu Lingyu said in a resolute tone: "Disciple once again begs the master to teach him! If his heart is not removed, even if he cultivates to the Xuanqing Nine Realms, he will be like Senior Sister Yu back then, and he will fall like a meteor......
Wu Ji's expression was gloomy, he slowly put down the axe, and said in a deep voice: "It is not difficult to get rid of the mortal heart, it only takes an unforgettable pain. After the pain, you won't be as naΓ―ve as before. The reason why you are prone to feelings for mortals now is because you are too young and have experienced too few people and things. Once you cultivate to my age, you'll find it harder and harder to like someone.
"Is that the realm of mortal hearts?" Mu Lingyu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
Wu Ji laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "That's not a realm at all...... In fact, it's just old. β
"Old?" The light in Mu Lingyu's eyes dimmed, replaced by deep doubts, and asked, "Isn't cultivating to a realm like Master Uncle, already close to immortality?"
Wu Ji said gloomily: "Although people are not old, their hearts will be old." The older the heart, the more calm the heart becomes, and the harder it is for the heart to move......"
Mu Lingyu thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't seem to understand, and then he remembered an important matter, and suddenly said: "The disciple has something important to inform the uncle." Now there is a thief named Ye Linglong, who has infiltrated Kunlun Mountain. Master must be careful. β
Wu Ji replied simply and said, "I will find time to tell Senior Brother Chai Song about this." β
Hearing the words "Chai Song!", Mu Lingyu's face changed suddenly, "Chai Song has ill intentions, besides, he is a disciple of Shen Gongbao, how can the master hand over the affairs of the sect to such a person with improper intentions?"
"Do you think that apart from Chai Song now, no matter the seniority or cultivation in the sect, who else can take on this important responsibility?"
Mu Lingyu pondered for a moment and shook his head gloomily.
"I originally wanted to leave the teachings to you, Senior Brother White Wolf. It's a pity that he didn't listen to the advice, and he must provoke Qing Li, and he has lost his life in vain. My time is short, and I have no time to take care of many things, so I can only do three things now: the first thing is to select a disciple who can take charge of the room and replace Chai Song as the sect master; the second thing is to cut down this Yao tree on the seventh day of the next month, before the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother of the West; and the third thing, I want to send you to the Jade Void Cave for retreat and cultivation while I am still alive......"
Mu Lingyu was suddenly startled, thinking that Yu Hongzhi was in retreat in the Jade Void Cave back then, cultivating to the peak of the Xuanqing Nine Realms. The Jade Void Cave is nothing more than an excellent place for retreat and cultivation for the cultivators, and only people with special physiques such as the pure yin body can enter it.
However, hearing about this great good thing, Mu Lingyu's face had a trace of doubt, and he asked in a low voice:
"When?"
"Preferably tomorrow. With that, Bukit swung his axe and slashed again!
"Tomorrow?"
The doubts on Mu Lingyu's face were even more than a few points, thinking that with his current cultivation, it would take at least eighty years to retreat and cultivate to the peak realm. There was no contact with the outside world for 80 years.
Eighty years is almost equivalent to the lifetime of a mortal.
She knew that this meant that the moment she left the customs, she would never be able to see the familiar faces again.
Seeing her hesitation, Bukit said, "Time is indeed a bit short. Why don't you do this, I'll give you a month to say goodbye to your friends. According to one person a day, there are thirty days in a month, and at least thirty people can be said goodbye. I want to say goodbye to no more than thirty friends with your character. β
"It won't take a month to ......" Mu Lingyu's eyes lowered and said gloomily: "...... Just one day...... That's enough. β
