Chapter 10: The Way of the World

Returning to Woniu Mountain again, the scenery is still the same, but the peaks that have been cut off by the waist have now been surrounded by wooden tripods, and many outer disciples of the Qingxu Sect have come and gone in the meantime.

In addition to the disciples of the Qingxu Sect, there were also some mortals who entered and exited the ore vein, all of whom were residents of the nearby Qinghe Town, who volunteered to come to help mine the Gathering Spirit Stone. Unlike the Qingxu disciples who mine the spirit stones to exchange for spirit deeds, these mortals can mine a certain amount of spirit stones, and they can receive some talismans to ward off ghosts and exorcise evil spirits and elixirs for longevity and longevity from the disciples of the Xiude Hall who are on duty in the veins.

On one side of the vein, there is a small deep hole that goes deep into the mountain. The cave was pitch black, and at the end there was a stone door that was not gold or jade, and the door was engraved with ancient talismans, which seemed to be some kind of prohibition. Xuan Jing Zhenren, who is good at making talismans, once carefully studied the ancient talismans on the stone gate, but found nothing, just warned other Qingxu Sect people not to act rashly against this stone gate.

Today's ore vein is Xuanyi Zhenren with Zhang Qiuchi, Long Zemu, Feng Tang Xu, Qu Muxi, Ye Yushi, He Weiji, a total of six Qingxu disciples, at this time they stayed outside the cave and sat on the ground.

Xuanyi Zhenren has always been silent, so Zhang Qiuchi came to introduce the situation of the cave mansion here to the other disciples: "Elder Xuan Jing has checked the talisman on the stone gate before, and deduced that this is the ancient cave house that was scattered two tribulations ago. It is not yet known who the owner of the cave is, but the cultivation of the master of the cave is so high that he will not be under the earth immortals. ”

"Earth Immortal Cave Mansion!" all the disciples were secretly surprised. It is difficult to produce a true immortal in a thousand years, most of the Qing cultivators live in seclusion and are determined to soar, and they have always asked little about the world, and the earth immortals are the top powers who really walk in the living world, and even the famous seven major scattered cultivators, each of them is a master who shakes one side, and not all of them are earth immortals.

Now Zhang Qiuchi told himself that the cave mansion behind him was likely to be an ancient earth immortal, or even a true immortal cave mansion, how could this not be surprising?

"Senior brother, the feng shui of this Woniu Mountain is really average, and it is not very beautiful, why did the ancient earth immortals build a cave here?"

Zhang Qiuchi explained: "Since there is such a huge spiritual stone vein in Woniu Mountain, it must have been a place where Zhong Lingyu was beautiful, and it was common for ancient earth immortals to build caves here. It's just that these two tribulations of internal fighting have changed the stars, mountains and rivers, and the situation has also destroyed the leyline pattern here. ”

"The ancient earth immortals' methods are so wonderful, the talisman on the stone gate is forbidden, and Elder Xuan Jing has no way to crack it. What's the point of guarding this treasure mountain and not being able to enter?" Qu Muxi, another Qingxu disciple who entered the room, sighed, and there was some frustration between his words.

"The head master has already repaired the book and gone to the Xiaoyao Sect and the Great Compassion Temple, and invited the predecessors of Nan Mingzi and the Great Compassion Zen Master to come and explore the cave together. Nan Mingzi's predecessors and the Great Compassion Zen Master are both Mahayana cultivators, and there should be a way to break the ban. ”

Qu Muxi sneered: "The two Mahayana are here, are the things in this cave still in our turn?"

When Zhang Qiuchi heard this, he also sighed: "If you don't invite the two seniors, you can't enter the cave, then no matter how many treasures there are, it has nothing to do with you and me." How to say that this Woniu Cave Mansion is still under the rule of our Qingxu Sect, and the Xiaoyao Sect and the Great Compassion Temple are also famous and decent, and they should not do things absolutely. ”

Ye Yushi's shoulders shook and released the "flying sword" of the green feather eagle that was originally standing on his shoulder. The "flying sword" was extremely fast, flying a hundred zhang away in the blink of an eye, flapping its wings and suddenly turning into a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten zhang - this is its prototype. With a slight flap of those giant wings, it brought a gust of wind and squinted Ye Yushi's eyes.

"This eagle cub is getting more and more unpleasant. Ye Yushi scolded with a smile, but turned his head to see He Weiji kept his head down and was silent, a little curious, and pushed his shoulder, "Senior Brother He, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about what Master and Master said at the sect conference. "He Weiji is not very curious about this Immortal Cave Mansion, but has been pondering the dialogue between the Kongji Zhenren and the Kongming Zhenren at the sect conference the day before yesterday.

"Why are you still thinking about this? aren't you curious about what's in this Immortal Cave Mansion?"

He Weiji smiled bitterly and said: "Just like Senior Brother Qu said, the master of the sect invited the two Mahayana of Xiaoyao Sect and the Great Compassion Temple to come, what is in this cave mansion, does it still have anything to do with us?"

Ye Yushi looked very optimistic: "Why do you have to get the treasure? This is a once-in-a-millennium Earth Immortal Cave Mansion, even if you return empty-handed, you will gain a lot if you can go in and take a look at it!"

"Senior sister, you're right. Looking at Ye Yushi's smiling face, He Weiji's heart warmed and he agreed with her words.

Ye Yushi's apricot eyes widened slightly, and a finger poked at He Weiji's head: "One moment Senior Brother Qu is right, and the other time I am right, don't you have a brain?"

He Weiji scratched his head: "I think what you both said is right." ”

Ye Yushi laughed for a moment and shook his head.

"Senior sister, do you know who the 'Guiyuan junior brother' mentioned by my master at the sect conference, why didn't the head of the sect let him continue?" He Weiji was still haunting this matter in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, you ask Senior Brother?"

He Weiji opened his mouth and asked Zhang Qiuchi, who was sitting not far away. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Qiuchi: "Senior Brother He, don't ask about this matter again, and don't mention it again!" After saying that, Zhang Qiuchi also looked up at the Xuanyi real person who was sitting on the stone cliff with his eyes closed.

To Zhang Qiuchi's surprise, Xuanyi Zhenren opened his eyes, first glanced at Zhang Qiuchi, and then looked at He Weiji.

"You're a disciple of Senior Brother Kongji. ”

The dry voice was as if it hadn't spoken in a hundred years.

"There are nine disciples of our generation of Qingxu who have entered the house, and the five of us have become elders in each of them, and three of them have not succeeded, and they have died at the end of their lives, and the remaining one has been expelled from the master's door, which is Senior Brother Li Guiyuan. Speaking of this, Xuanyi Zhenren coughed twice, and his figure became even more rickety. "Senior Brother Li builds the foundation in one year, Zhou Tian in three years, knots in ten years, and Yuan Ying in a hundred years, it can be said that the Qingxu Sect has not produced a single cultivation genius in a thousand years since he left the ancestor. He is also a good sword, and if he refines the God Realm, he will cultivate the Qingxu Sword Dao to the realm of Taiji Dacheng. Compared with our other disciples, it is like a candle and the sun and the moon, and your master also intended to teach him the position of head of the sect back then. ”

"Then why was Uncle Li expelled from the division?" He Weiji wondered. Since Uncle Li Guiyuan is a genius and is deeply loved by his ancestors, what kind of mortal mistake does he have to make to be expelled from the Qingxu Sect?

"Five hundred and ninety years ago, during the Demon Tide War, he deserted his post without permission, causing several mortal cities to be destroyed and tens of thousands of mortals to be killed by demons outside the sky. Xuanyi Zhenren sighed softly, "Senior Brother Li is highly talented, but he only cares about his cultivation and swordsmanship. If it was on weekdays, it would be fine, but in the great demon tide once in 600 years, in order to prove the Wuji Sword Dao, he ignored the several cities he should guard, and took the initiative to hunt down the Great Heavenly Demon, causing other demons to take advantage of the void and destroy their lives. The master was furious and expelled him from the sect. ”

Long Zemu was puzzled and asked, "Demon Destroying Guardian Dao, is there anything wrong with this?"

Xuanyi Zhenren glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "What kind of demon are you exchanging and what kind of Tao are you defending?"

"Uncle Xuanyi, except for the demons outside the sky, what is guarded is the right path in the world!"

"What is the right way on earth?"

"This ............" Long Zemu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Xuanyi Zhenren narrowed his small eyes, raised his head to look up at the sky, and sighed: "My generation is a monk who seeks the Tao and immortality, but who is born as a monk?

Long Zemu didn't seem to have chewed out the deep meaning of Xuanyi's real words, but Zhang Qiuchi had already heard something: "Uncle Shi taught me a lesson." No matter how high the cultivation is, it is only a few dozen more than mortals, except for a few few who can prove that the immortal earth immortals live the same life as heaven and earth, and the vast majority of them will inevitably return to their natural destiny after all. Whether it is the Qingxu Sect or the Xiaoyao Sect, the inheritance of the Taoist system has been passed down for hundreds of generations, relying on people. A small demon tide in forty years, a big demon tide in six hundred years, if you can't protect the peace of the world, let all mortals die at the hands of demons outside the sky, wouldn't the Pure Void Dao Sect be extinct?"

Xuanyi Zhenren's words, He Weiji seems to understand whether he understands or not, and what Zhang Qiuchi said, he may still understand something. The demon tide in the living world every forty years is not much of a catastrophe for the monks, although the demons outside the sky are extremely vicious, but they are basically without intelligence, whether it is killing or hiding, it is not difficult to be alone. But for mortals in the world, the demon tide is a catastrophe, and wherever the demons outside the world go, there is no trace of life. If the monks only care about themselves, after those few rounds of demonic tides, there will be no more mortals in this world, and there will be no new monks without mortals. When the monks who did not attain immortality were dismembered, a huge living realm became a demon nest and ghost domain, and there was no longer any life.

This is the true "right way on earth."
