In the earthly land, people die like lamps going out, and there is no hell. But within the mountain, there is a netherworld.

Li Hong changed the shape of himself and the others, and then stood silently by the clouds, trying to make himself appear inconspicuous.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set below the clouds, and moonlight and starlight began to appear in the sky.

At the moment when the sun and the moon were shining, a group of young monks wearing [Wushan] Cang blue Taoist robes stepped on auspicious clouds and flew up from under the clouds. I saw that they were covered in cold dew, dusty and dusty, and seemed to have walked a very long way on the cloud road.

Li Hong knew the wonder of Wushan [Serial Cave Heaven], knew its nine twists and turns, and the path was difficult to recognize, so he thought about taking the opportunity to explore the direction to the hinterland of [Wushan], so he did not hide his whereabouts.

Sure enough, a middle-aged Taoist priest who fell into the clouds first saw Li Hong and the others, and was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "A few senior brothers, senior sisters, I don't know which peak disciple it is...... How did you come back from the netherworld faster than me?"

The disciples of Wushan inherited a total of eleven peaks, inheriting the Taoist lineage of eleven patriarchs respectively, and the so-called 'peaks' is just a saying. [Wushan] itself does not arrange disciples according to the peak.

Li Hong is clear about the five sects of the Daomen, so he naturally knows the details. At the same time, he also guessed that there were at least more than a thousand inner disciples of [Wushan], and there were morning and evening batches of preaching, so they might not all know each other, so without hesitation, he replied with a smile: "Several of us are disciples of [Zhizhen Peak] who have just condensed the Dan, so we ......"

Before Li Hong finished speaking, the Taoist priest showed a look of sudden realization: "It turned out to be the junior brother and sister who had just finished Ning Dan, presumably from [Lishan]? Why did you come here at this time?

Li Hong was thinking about how to answer, and someone behind the middle-aged Taoist priest shouted: "Senior brother, don't go, we haven't made the question clear just now!" Seeing a thin and tall young Taoist walking closer, he grabbed the middle-aged Taoist priest and said excitedly: "I think Taoist priests should not enter the world, cultivators, what they want is to be otherworldly, why do they want to roll in the earthly world? What is the benefit of cultivation? Senior brother, what you just said is unreasonable...... Although the tone was excited, the words were not disrespectful.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was reminded by the young Taoist priest's previous words, and he couldn't stand him refuting himself in person, let alone his absurd arguments, so he immediately became emotional, and no longer cared about Li Hong and others, turned around and started an argument with the young Taoist priest: "Taoist practice, in the final analysis, is to pursue immortality, and if you want to live forever, you have to survive the heavenly tribulation and ascend to the Purple Mansion! Why is it difficult to ascend? That is because of the Taoist priest's state of mind...... Which of the Great Dao Priests' cultivation is not high? Which of the spells is not strong? It stands to reason that they are enough to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation and to ascend, so why do they fail repeatedly? It is because of their state of mind! Because of their unstable state of mind, they cannot concentrate on the Tribulation, cannot be distracted, and cannot forget about death...... Because you can't forget death, but seek ...... death!"

Who said that the ultimate goal of cultivation is immortality?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but laugh a few times when he heard this, revealing an obvious look of disdain: "This still needs to be argued? Who doesn't know that cultivation is for immortality?!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people immediately echoed it.

The young Taoist priest couldn't help but raise his voice: "Of course, there are other purposes for cultivation! Such as self-fulfillment, such as exploring deeper knowledge and mysteries, ......" Behind the young Taoist, several Taoist priests of similar age nodded when they heard this.

The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help laughing: "These are the small details you said, small doors, if you can't live forever, what's the point of all this you do? If you can't live forever, how can you achieve perfection? If you can't live forever, how can you explore endless knowledge?"

The young Taoist priest was speechless for a while. After being stunned for a moment, he asked: "Okay, even if the purpose of everything is to live forever! But how can joining the WTO help a Taoist priest clean up his state of mind? Is this a joke? The world of flowers is fascinating, and this is a truth that everyone knows...... And don't forget, we are monks, what does the world have to do with us? Tempering the state of mind in the world is putting the cart before the horse, even if you want to temper the state of mind, you should return to the mountains and wilderness, away from the hustle and bustle, so that you can achieve peace...... The purpose of the Birth Sect is to cultivate the state of mind of a Taoist priest, so this senior brother won't know it......"

The young Taoist priest said this reasonably, and immediately won a round of applause.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was looking at the other party falling behind and was being proud, but the young Taoist priest suddenly said such a thing, and he actually pulled back. But he didn't panic, he only shook his head vigorously: "Narrow-minded! Narrow-minded! Who said that cultivating a Taoist state of mind should be far away from the world? Who said that a Taoist state of mind should be completely abandoned? The state of mind cultivated in the deep mountains and wilderness is the product of self-whitewashing and camouflage, and it cannot stand the test. Only the state of mind after entering the WTO and passing the test of the red dust is the real state of mind. If you don't believe it, those Dao scholars who retreated to the mountains and forests and took the 'path of birth' will definitely suffer a lot during the tribulation......"

This was a little too full, and different voices immediately burst out in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, the argument between the two evolved into a discussion among the people.

Li Hong and the others stood next to him, as if they were spectators listening to the debate, which seemed very natural. The rest of the Taoist priests were either thinking with their heads bowed or had already joined the argument, and no one noticed these eyed people.

Xu seemed to take a breath and whispered, "Obediently, the topic of these Taoist priests' arguments is really metaphysical...... And the fighting posture is quite scary......"

Li Hong smiled, noncommittal to the views of the two, suggesting that Duanmu Youlan left from the side. originally wanted to find out some news, but it seems that the debate in front of him will not stop for a while. Li Hong didn't want to delay, so he looked for another way.

"Judging from the controversy just now, [Wushan] has indeed been very differentiated. The differences among the Dao Priests are difficult to see, but judging from the reactions of the middle-level Dao Priests, the dispute between birth and entry into the WTO is obviously very loud!" Li Hong frowned and thought as he slowly left from the periphery of the crowd. "Presumably, the situation of [Vast Mountain] and [Tianque Mountain] is similar. Li Hong couldn't help but sigh slightly when he thought of the situation of [Cangmu Mountain] mentioned by Yulongzi and the situation of [Tianque Mountain] mentioned by Pan Chang.

"What? aren't interested in arguing?" a slightly thin voice suddenly sounded.

Li Hong raised his head slightly, and saw a young Taoist priest sitting outside the crowd with a thin figure and a smile on his face. The Taoist priest has a high nose and thin lips, so he looks smiling because he is always up. Because of the sitting, the waist down is covered by clouds, so it looks a little funny.

"How many of you just came here from [Lishan]?"

Li Hong smiled: "Did you hear it just now?"

Looking at the somewhat different Taoist priest in front of him, Li Hong suddenly had a new idea in his heart. (To be continued.) )
