Chapter 142: Choice
"The road to immortality is long and long, and I don't know where the end is. Li Peicheng sighed after Ge Gu's words.
Li Peicheng now sees the road of cultivating truth and becoming an immortal farther than Ge Gu, and he knows that this road is difficult and dangerous step by step.
Ge Gu didn't feel strange at all when he heard this, he knew that Li Peicheng's current realm was higher than him, and he could see farther than himself on this road.
"Do you have something to say to your teacher?" asked Ge Gu.
Li Peicheng nodded and said, "The disciple has a question and wants to ask Master for advice." ”
"Say it!" Ge Gudao had an intuition in his heart that his little disciple was about to say something earth-shattering.
Ge Gu guessed correctly, but he never expected Li Peicheng's first sentence to be, "The disciple has reached the realm of Dacheng consummation as mentioned by the ancestor." ”
This sentence shocked him on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his ears were buzzing.
It took him a long time to come to his senses, and the Adam's apple squirmed hard in his throat.
"So you have become an immortal?" Ge Gu was a little uncertain, and looked at his most proud disciple with some strangeness.
He couldn't tell his mood at this time, anyway, it was extremely complicated, so that his first reaction was not surprise, but question.
Li Peicheng shook his head and said, "It should be said that it is an immortal in the eyes of secular people, but in fact it is not. ”
Ge Gu knew that Li Peicheng still had something to say, so he didn't interrupt him.
Li Peicheng sorted out his thoughts and told Ge Gu what he knew about the division of the cultivation realm, as well as some of the situation in the cultivation realm, and even Li Xuanting's affairs were not hidden.
Ge Gu listened quietly, Li Peicheng finished speaking, and he was still comfortable reminiscing about what Li Peicheng said.
After a long time, Ge Gu stood up, patted Li Peicheng on the shoulder, and then walked back and forth in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Li Peicheng stood up and stood quietly beside him.
Ge Gu knew very well that Li Peicheng was asking for his opinion, whether to let Ge Men pass on from generation to generation in the world in peace, or to enter the cultivation realm to welcome another world that was more brilliant and gorgeous, but also full of unknowns and dangers.
Those who don't know are fearless, if they hadn't heard Li Peicheng's introduction, Ge Gu would only set foot in the cultivation realm with joy, thinking that he was finally expected to cultivate immortals. But listening to Li Peicheng say this, he knew very well that behind the surface of the dazzling light of immortality, there were endless crises and long sufferings hidden.
There are no absolutes in this world, immortality is not necessarily happiness, and a short life is not necessarily eternal. Some people like a dull life, some people like a colorful life, some people like stability, and some people like exciting adventures. There is no absolute right or wrong, just like the choice that Li Peicheng and Ge Gu are facing now, there is no right or wrong.
Ge Gu finally stopped moving, looked at Li Peicheng very firmly, and said: "Immortality is the grand wish of the ancestors of Gemen, you are the head of Gemen's generation, from the time you step into the threshold of the cultivation realm, it is actually doomed that Gemen is no longer a martial arts sect, but a Xiuzhen sect." ”
When Li Peicheng heard this, his expression froze, and he felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly became heavier.
"You should never mention Li Xuanting's matter to your teacher, and don't mention it to anyone again until the day when you think you have enough strength. Gegu continued.
"The disciple understands. Li Peicheng replied.
Ge Gu showed an appreciative gaze and said, "Now that you have the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, I am very satisfied with the progress of the teacher." You don't have to ask for it, you can't take it by force. For other things, you are now in charge, what should you do to make bold decisions. ”
Although Ge Gu's current ability is far inferior to Li Peicheng, with his words, Li Peicheng feels very down-to-earth.
Before leaving Geling, the master and apprentice discussed a lot in the courtyard, and made up their minds that they would continue to wander in the world, stay away from cultivators for the time being, and secretly look for a suitable cave house. Li Peicheng's three senior brothers, two disciples are really trustworthy people, and they need to be cultivated as much as possible. But there is no need to recruit them back to Hangzhou to settle down, let them come back after a while, and the head Li Peicheng can teach the way of cultivation.
The West Lake in autumn is like a melancholy woman, making people walk by the lake, and they will be dyed with a trace of sentimentality and melancholy unconsciously.
Li Peicheng walked alone on the Beishan Road, and from time to time there were yellowing sycamore leaves slowly falling in the autumn wind. Li Peicheng watched the leaves fall in front of him, and he seemed to have an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was a very strange feeling. It seemed that as the leaves fell, he saw the passing of life and a new beginning. Since returning from the snowy mountain, Li Peicheng has had this indescribable feeling from time to time.
At this time, Li Peicheng still didn't understand, this is a natural perception of heaven and earth, the perception of the Tao, it seems to understand, but it seems that he doesn't understand anything, but something has penetrated into his bones because of this feeling, imperceptibly affecting him.
At this time, if a monk knew that Li Peicheng often had this inexplicable feeling in the middle of Jindan, he would definitely be envious in his heart. Just as to become an excellent artist, he must have a keen eye and intuition for beauty, and in order to become a true Taoist, he must also have a sensitive sense of heaven and earth, his gaze, his heart, and he must be able to feel the changes of heaven and earth at any time, and feel the true meaning of heaven and earth in the changes.
Li Peicheng enjoyed this feeling very much, walking slowly alone, as if he had blended into the autumn wind, falling in the air like that autumn leaf.
Unconsciously, Li Peicheng walked through Beishan Road and arrived at the fork in the West Lake Broken Bridge. Suddenly, I saw a familiar back, which was once full of vitality and a hint of majesty, but now it gave Li Peicheng a feeling of loneliness and old age.
In the past, looking at the West Lake full of tourists, weeping willows blowing water, and green grass, Sun Xinpin had an indescribable sense of pride. Because all this has a great credit to him, the director of the West Lake District Garden Bureau. He paid sweat and youth for all this.
But looking at all this today, he felt a little bitter and a little aggrieved.
Sun Xinpin is a down-to-earth and courageous leader, and his ambition is to make a difference in his career.
When he was young, he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and soon climbed from the technical section of the District Garden Bureau to the section chief, and then the deputy director and director. From the age of 36 to the age of 44, no matter how diligent and willing he is, he has always missed the leadership position of the city bureau.
