"There is no way in the Tao, because people seek the way, so it is named. I don't want to say it by 'name', so I call it 'yes' and 'no'. Chen Haoran Shi Shiran said.

The old man's eyes lit up more and more, and Chen Haoran's words made him feel vaguely as if he had touched the essence of the problem that he had been thinking about and couldn't solve before, so he continued to ask without stopping: "What is there and what is nothing?"

"The beginning of heaven and earth is nothing, and the mother of all things is being. Everything that exists is born from nothing, so nothing is the beginning of heaven and earth, and all things in heaven and earth are born from being, so there is the mother of all things. ”

The old man frowned and said, "What is the difference between Shi and Mother?"

"I know this!" Xia Chen was young after all, and he was competitive, and hurriedly said: "Big brother once said, this is like a chicken and an egg, do you say that there is a chicken first, or an egg first?"

"This ......," the old man said.

Xia Chen said proudly: "Haha! I know you don't know...... Actually, my eldest brother doesn't know. ”

A group of people almost fell.

"But the chicken-and-egg issue is a question of 'who starts'. Xia Chen continued.

The old man felt as if he had grasped something, and muttered, "But the chicken is the mother of the egg, but it does not need to be considered......"

"Yes!" Chen Haoran said, "In the beginning, we are talking about the problem of origin, if there are no chickens and eggs in the world, then there will be no speculation of 'chickens or eggs first'; with chickens and eggs, it is meaningful to discuss the problem of chickens and eggs." And the mother is talking about the problem of dependency. So the 'beginning' is different from the 'mother'. However, whether there is nothing or something, it is the Tao. Therefore, the Tao is the 'beginning' and 'mother' of all things in heaven and earth. The two have different names. Same, for the mystery. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”

"Same name...... Mysterious and mysterious. "The old man sat down on the ground as if he were stupid, repeating this sentence and falling into deep thought. Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and an extremely powerful aura burst out of his body. The mortals around him, including Chen Haoran and Ji Ba, all felt that there seemed to be some changes in this place suddenly, but they couldn't say anything.

However, Xia Xing and Xia Chen were shocked at each other! They clearly felt that the majestic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was like being sucked by the dragon's mouth, and with this worry-free room in the nightless sky as the center, a huge whirlpool was formed in the sky that could not be seen by mortals. The diameter is hundreds of miles! You must know that the two of them can only mobilize the vitality within a radius of tens of miles, and the old man in front of him can actually condense the vitality of hundreds of miles on such an astonishing scale, it seems that he is about to break through!

Once he breaks through, he will be a master of the Cheng Dan period, and he will really be a "shortcut"!

Moment. The countless vitality condensed by the super large vortex suddenly gathered into a line, which lasted for thousands of miles. As thick as an adult's forearm, it suddenly surged towards the old man like lightning!

At the same time, all the orifices of the old man's body, as well as the seventy-two heavenly gangs and the thirty-six earthly demons, a total of one hundred and eight acupoints, were all opened, like the earth that has been in a drought for a long time, frantically absorbing this huge amount of vitality. I have to say that the potential of people is really limitless. It seemed that the inexhaustible vitality of heaven and earth was only in a short moment. It was absorbed by the old man!

Others didn't know, but the old man could feel that those vitality were constantly cleaning and reinforcing his bones and flesh, and the dantian sea, which was already somewhat depleted, was boundless and surging at this time. He clearly sensed that his already small longevity was like a dead tree of rejuvenation, and it was more than several times more than that!

The most peculiar thing is that in his blue dantian sea, there is a trace of essence that is completely different from the previous one! He knows that with time and hard cultivation, this faint essence can turn qi into a pill and truly step into the third realm of self-cultivation that makes many monks envious, jealous and hateful-"Cheng Dan"!

"I see! I see!" The old man had basically stepped into the Chengdan realm now, and he was extremely happy, and he was overjoyed, and shouted again and again, "The old man has been thinking hard for two hundred years, but he has never been allowed to enter the door. It turns out that there is and there is no mystery, and the square is the door of all wonders!" He faced the vast river, laughed, turned around again, and shook Chen Haoran deeply to the ground, and said respectfully: "This little gentleman is above, please accept the next worship!"

Now the whole room is stupid.

The most confused was Ji Ba, who shouted wildly in his heart: "What kind of situation is this? That dead boy is talking nonsense, how can he actually make this cultivator who usually ignores his love and ignores himself and has supernatural powers so respectful that he claims to be below? That dead boy said something is simply a fart, a fart! Otherwise, with my understanding, how could I not understand it at all!"

Xia Xing and Xia Chen also looked at each other, and said in their hearts, what is so special about these? When I was a child, I often seemed to listen to my eldest brother's chatter. This old man is still from Da Zhou, and he is so lonely and unheard, it seems that it is better for us to spend the ancient country!

But everyone didn't know that the writings of the ancestors of the later generations were only 5,000 words, but how many people in later generations were obsessed with them? There are so many commentaries in various versions alone that they can be described as true words of the word! People in this world have relied on their own understanding of the Tao, and there is no unified and mature basic theoretical basis to rely on.

The old man nodded slightly at Ji Ba again, and said, "Eighth Prince, you and I are destined for this." ”

Ji Ba knew that he couldn't get back this time, so he snorted coldly, turned around and slammed the door angrily with his entourage.

Chen Haoran glanced at his departing back, and a sinister smile hung on his lips. The so-called poor Kou Mo chases, after all, Ji Ba still has the identity of a prince, and the national strength of the Great Zhou is stronger than that of the Huagu Kingdom, which is not a little bit different, it is a world of difference. It is a trivial matter to annoy this prince, but it is not cost-effective to affect the second master and the subjects of Huagu Kingdom.

But that doesn't mean Chen Haoran will let him go.

Don't say that he is a prince, even if he is the emperor of the Great Zhou, Chen Haoran will not let him have good fruits to eat. There is a saying: Brother never holds grudges, and usually if there is an enemy, he will report it on the spot. This time, even if you can't take revenge on the spot, you can do it behind the scenes, and there is a way. As long as he leaves Huagu Kingdom, whether he can return to Da Zhou alive is another matter.

The old man saw Ji Ba leaving, and reincarnated as a long man, and said respectfully: "Little sir, I noticed that there was no vitality fluctuation in your body, and I thought it was a hermitage that specialized in cultivating the mind. I wonder how many eons my husband has gone through, and what kind of situation he has reached?"

Chen Haoran was stunned. He replied, "These are all taught by the master." However, I had never heard Master talk about cultivating my mind, so I didn't know what kind of situation I had hit. Can the old gentleman give me some advice?"

The old man sighed: "Presumably, the noble master must be a great hidden, and he doesn't want his disciples to look at each other, so I won't talk about it." When the student talks about it today, I am afraid that it will ruin Mr. 's practice. ”

Chen Haoran smiled: "It's okay." The so-called people who know others know their own wisdom. For the average person. It may be that practicing in a muddled way will reduce their desires, but for the wise, not knowing one's own situation is like a blind man touching an elephant without a purpose. To say that this guy is also very thick-skinned, and he shamelessly puts himself in the position of a "wise man".

The old man said reassuringly: "Little gentleman is high-minded." Cultivation in the world is nothing more than three ways: self-cultivation, mind cultivation, and physical and mental cultivation. In the realm of self-cultivation, Mr. must know that it is not the realm of concentrating, gathering, becoming a pill, refining gods, three mysteries, three clears, and three voids. After breaking the three voids, you can feather and soar.

"Self-cultivators specialize in the vitality of heaven and earth and their own qi. Borrowing the qi of heaven and earth for one's own use, strengthening one's body, prolonging one's life, and of course, there is also supreme mana; ”

These words "it is very easy to get started, and it is not difficult to practice". But it was rare to make someone blush.

The old man didn't notice that Chen Haoran was wrong, and then said, "And cultivate the mind." As the name suggests, take the heart as the god, enter the Tao from the heart, and realize it the most. Since the difficulty of mind cultivation is much higher than that of self-cultivation, and it takes at least hundreds of years to achieve a slight success, only a small number of people choose to cultivate the mind. ”

"Know those who cultivate the mind. It needs to go through calamity, and it can be a breakthrough. There are forty-nine tribulations in the world, such as sickness, tribulation, and love tribulation, eighteen calamities of life and death, seven calamities of demons, three calamities of ghosts and gods, three tribulations of the earth, and one tribulation of heaven, and then they are completed. Successfully surviving the tribulation of the world is regarded as a small success, which is basically equivalent to Cheng Dan; It is equivalent to refining gods, and the demon tribulation, the ghost and the god, and the earth tribulation are equivalent to the three mysteries, the three clears, and the three voids. As for the Heavenly Tribulation, it is the last Tribulation of the Self-Cultivator in this realm, and after successfully surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, he can break through the sky and ascend to the Immortal Body!"

"Becoming an immortal in the flesh!" Chen Haoran and the three of them were all shocked! This is simply an incredible thing for the three of them! Feathering into an immortal is already a legend, can anyone really become an immortal in the flesh?

The old man nodded and said, "Exactly! Moreover, although the mind cultivator has experienced a long time and is extremely difficult, after cultivating, his aura is stable and his mind is far stronger than that of a cultivator who cultivates himself. For example, a mind cultivator at the peak of concentrating on the peak, the strength of the breath, mind, and spell can almost compete with the cultivator in the middle or late stage of qi gathering, that is to say, the mind cultivator can be comparable to the cultivator who is three grades higher than himself!"

"However, the path of cultivating the mind requires extremely high understanding, and it takes an extremely long time to waste, and the success rate is far lower than that of self-cultivators. In fact, it is relatively not very difficult to survive the forty-nine world tribulations, but the eighteen life and death tribulations are not so easy to pass, and most of the mind cultivators have fallen into the life and death tribulations, so the number of mind cultivators is also the most in the world tribulations. As for the demon tribulation and the ghost and god tribulation, it is even more difficult...... Well, it seems that no one has crossed it for nearly three thousand years. Because the journey was so arduous, the number of monks who chose to cultivate the mind was very small. ”

"As for cultivating both body and mind, it's too difficult. Roots, understanding, perseverance, patience, pure heart, lack of desire, etc. are all indispensable, and the time required is far greater than that of self-cultivation and mind cultivation, and the difficulty is like the road to heaven. ”

I see! Chen Haoran was relieved. Over the years, he has been immersed in his cultivation, and he has hardly done anything else except meditating, eating, and resting every day, and the two masters have rarely seen him every day, so he really doesn't know much about these relatively basic things.

"There's no hope for me. Is it possible to cultivate the mind?" Chen Haoran secretly thought.

"What? You want to cultivate your mind?"

In the backyard of the Jin Mansion, Yong Gongzi and Jin Buchang were taken aback when they heard Chen Haoran suddenly make this request. They hadn't come to see Chen Haoran for a few days, but they didn't expect that as soon as they met, Chen Haoran proposed to change careers and cultivate their minds.

Yong Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Yang'er, it's not me and your master who hit you, but this road is also impassable." ”

Chen Haoran asked unwillingly: "Why? Why why?"

Jin Lao Wei laughed and said, "Why? Silly boy, do you know what the basic requirements of the tribulation are?"

Chen Haoran's heart sank suddenly, and he asked contemplatively and squirmingly, "Could it be ...... Do you also want to feel the vitality of heaven and earth?"

Hua Jin and the two suddenly looked sympathetic and nodded at the same time.

"No-yes--right!" Chen Haoran suddenly sat on the ground as if he had been emptied of his body. Crying and pointing to the sky, he roared: "Damn! Thief God, don't bring such a play! This is cheating! *Naked cheating! You give Xia Yue back to me, let's not play, okay?"

The two of them glanced at each other, and Yong Gongzi gently persuaded: "You don't have to be so disappointed...... There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and those who cannot cultivate without roots and bones are like drops of water in the sea, and there are countless of them. Compared with you, there is no advantage. You ......"

Old Monster Jin was not so tactful, and said directly: "You are just very unlucky, your sister was snatched away by cultivators, you want to snatch it back but you can't practice, you can't beat people at all; It's okay! In the future, at most, I will be chased and hunted by others, and I will not be able to live in fear, and I will slowly get used to it. But. You kid is a fat guts, although that Ji Ba is just a mortal, but after all, he is the royal family of the Great Zhou, and he is still a small and powerful master, and even the two of us don't want to provoke easily. ”

Chen Haoran muttered in a low voice: "I didn't provoke him, it's obvious that he took the initiative to provoke me with a shy face!"

Jin Lao Wei said angrily: "Bah! You still have the face to say! The prince of a big country, if you don't trouble you, you should burn high incense, you kid." actually asked someone to secretly follow him and take laxatives all the way. He almost dragged him to death on the road! It is said that this guy easily returned to Da Zhou, and now he is still in the mansion seventeen or eighteen times a day, and he has lost his form, and most of his life has gone! If he hadn't been accompanied by a medical officer, I am afraid that he would have died on the road long ago -- why do you say you are so bold?"

Chen Haoran pouted and said, "I knew that he had a medical officer with him, so the ghost used this trick...... He won't be able to enter Yanmen......"

Yong Gongzi persuaded: "Be forgiving and forgiving." You shouldn't be so foolish......"

"But I like it!" said the old monster grinning, "Dare to love and hate real men!" ”

Chen Haoran was stunned and said, "He wants to provoke the Great Zhou Emperor to start a war against the Huagu Kingdom?"

"Not really. Old Jin said with a smile, "It's just that he went crazy and made countless people look for cultivators everywhere, and in the end, he really caught a few self-degrading cultivators...... In my opinion. He just wants your life. ”

"Cultivation scum?" Even though it was summer, Chen Haoran was so frightened that a white sweat broke out on his back, and he said with a bitter face: "Even if it's scum, it's the hegemon of the scum -- people are cultivators! I'm like meat on the chopping board in front of others, and I'm slaughtered by others! Master, you two love me the most, you can't watch me being slaughtered!"

"Now that you know, you shouldn't have been so reckless in the first place. Yong Gongzi complained a little, "But if they don't go out of the gate of the Golden Mansion, they won't be able to enter...... The big array that the mages laid out in the Golden Mansion back then said that it could withstand the great masters in the early stage of God Refining......"

"But he can't stay at home for the rest of his life!" said Jin Lao Wei unceremoniously, "It's always an egg with an egg, and if you do this, others ......will laugh at you."

Chen Haoran immediately shook his head and said, "I don't want to stay at home all day......" and then flattered: "Two masters, otherwise...... You did them a little favor and got them out...... With your supernatural powers, move your fingers, and they will die......"

"It's not that easy. Yong Gongzi shook his head, "It is said that there are a total of five people who came, one is in the late stage of gathering qi, two are at the peak of gathering qi, and two are masters of the Chengdan period......"

Chen Haoran's face was really a little ugly this time.

That Ji Ba's lineup really looks up to him! It is estimated that it is because Ji Ba saw that Chen Haoran's words could make the old man step into Cheng Dan, and subconsciously thought that Chen Haoran was at least a master of the Cheng Dan period, plus Xia Xing and Xia Chen were not vegetarians, and the entourage he brought was an ordinary person except for the old man, so he left with a look of anger but swallowed his anger at that time, and then he was ruthless, there were not many cultivators who wandered the mortal dust, and he just found five at once, two of which were rare masters of the Cheng Dan period in the mortal dust- This time, it seems that this Ji Ba is determined to get back to the field. Chen Haoran thought.

It's a big hassle!

If those people kill the masters at that time, the two masters will definitely be entangled by those two masters of the Cheng Dan stage. Xia Xing is only in the middle stage of concentrating, and Xia Chen is only concentrating on the peak, dealing with the opponent's one late stage of qi gathering and two qi gathering peaks, only for the sake of being abused. And ...... for yourself is not qualified to be in the battle sequence at all, and you have to die as soon as you get on the field.

It's a small thing to die yourself. But it can't affect the two masters and their younger siblings. If it really doesn't work, I just learn from the revolutionary martyrs, and when they come, I jumped out first and said: "One person does things and one person should do it! Don't affect the innocent!" and then directly wiped his neck......

Chen Haoran touched his neck, with his life-saving personality, he was really reluctant.

"There's a way to ......," Yong Gongzi muttered.

Chen Haoran's eyes lit up. He said in a loud voice: "Master, what method?"

Yong Gongzi touched his unkempt hair, with a hint of reluctance and regret, and said: "You have the jade plate of the Immortal Sect on your body, although you can't become a disciple in the sect, but it is not difficult to be a miscellaneous servant." If you go to Kunlun, maybe you will have another opportunity to step into the path of cultivation......"

Chen Haoran's eyes moved, and he groaned. Go to Kunlun...... I didn't expect to go around in such a big circle. In the end, I still have to go to Kunlun...... I don't know if I can meet Uncle Gu......

The old monster Jin snorted: "Come on, come! Who is afraid of whom! If you don't cut them all, you won't be surnamed Jin!"

Yong Gongzi sighed: "Old monster, you are also sensible." Even if we are not afraid of those people, there are still problems. Think about it, if we lose, Yang'er will inevitably die, whether we can keep Xing'er and Chen'er is another matter; if we win, I am afraid that Ji Ba will be angry and slander in the advance of the Great Zhou Emperor. At the cost of my ancient people, in exchange for his anger in his heart. Then we have not done harm to the people of the whole country? So this thing is ...... It's a bit of a dilemma......"

Chen Haoran thought for a moment, suddenly turned over and knelt down, respectfully kowtowed to the two masters three times, raised his extremely bright eyes, and said solemnly for a rare time: "Master's great grace, the apprentice will never forget." I wish the disciples were gone. Master and his younger siblings are in good health and their cultivation is going smoothly! Also, the apprentices are going to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away this time, can the masters give me more entanglements, magic weapons, or something, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be there. The little life will be confessed......" said Later, he was already a grinning ruffian again.

"I know that you kid is not so easy to dismiss!" said Jin Laowei, "With the family background of your two masters, will you still be wronged?"

So, Chen Haoran's going to Kunlun Changshengmen was decided.

For Chen Haoran at this time, he just went out to hide in order to avoid disaster to his family and master, and went out to find an opportunity by the way. He didn't know that sometimes in life, when it was such an inadvertent turn, the whole road changed dramatically.

Kunlun is extremely far away, and hundreds of thousands of miles may take decades for ordinary people, but for cultivators, there are still many methods.

Cultivators below the Three Realms can use magic weapons to resist the wind, and it will take nearly a year; those with great supernatural powers above the Three Realms can shrink the ground into inches, and it will take more than a month to reach more than a hundred thousand miles; as for the ancestors who have stepped into the Three Void Realms, no matter how far away they are, but in a flash of thought, their hearts will be humane, and they are masters.

As for a mortal like Chen Haoran, there is no way to stand on the magic weapon and gallop in the air for more than a year. The high air is filled with the reciprocating wind, like a steel knife, and the faster the enclave, the greater the resistance. Not to mention ordinary people, even if they are cultivators of the Qi Gathering Realm, they can only barely cope with it, at most they will fly for a month, and their physical strength and mana will not be able to keep up, let alone Chen Haoran.

Even if there is Yong Gongzi or Jin Lao Monster to protect him, it is impossible for him to hold out for a year. In fact, even if it is Yong Gongzi or Jin Laowei, it is impossible to control the magic weapon to go to one place for more than a year. For practitioners like them, time is the most precious thing.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of formation mages in this world, and the "Void Array" presided over by the formation masters, according to the depth of the formation mages' cultivation, can form extremely strange passages in the void, sending people to where they want to go in a very short time. As long as the skill of the array mage is not too bad, it will not be too bad from the destination.

After saying goodbye to his younger brothers and sisters in tears and solemnly handing over the children to Xia Xing Xia Chen, Chen Haoran followed the two masters to the largest cattle and horse market in Huagu Country.

The so-called cattle and horse market is a place where merchants trade horses, cattle, mules, donkeys and other large leg-powered livestock, which is very lively, and the unique atmosphere is also very intriguing - it is a mixture of the smell of dung of various livestock, the smell of the body, the smell of the hawkers' sweat, the smell of hay, the smell of food...... and the cries of horses and cattle, the noise of bargaining, and the shouts of horse dealers.

Chen Haoran is not unfamiliar with this place, he has been here several times before, but he is still wondering in his heart, could it be that the formation mage that the masters told him has a second career, and it is not possible to work part-time as a horse dealer......?
