No matter how you look at it, it's a little sad, but Di Ting is sincerely happy.

Shi Zixuan was thoughtful, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

After a long time, Shi Zixuan was worried again: "Venerable, will you completely become a mortal?"

Di Ting nodded and said, "Yes." I've lost all my mana now, and I'm no different from an ordinary person. ”

Shi Zixuan was a little guilty: "What should I do then?"

Di Ting: "It's nothing. When the Bodhisattva incarnated into the world, he was not also a mortal being. Take your time, take your time, it's a good thing. ”

Shi Zixuan thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the mountain in a few days." His Holiness will come with me. ”

Di Ting now that his mana is completely lost, Shi Zixuan is really afraid of what he will do. Even if you don't look at the friendship between him and Di Ting, if something really happens, it will be difficult for the Bodhisattva to explain, after all, he is still a Bodhisattva.

Who knew that Di listened but refused: "I won't go with you if I don't." This is my practice, and it is also my chance. The Bodhisattva allowed me to come to the world once, and if I was not enlightened, I would not have the face to go back to her. ”

Shi Zixuan teased: "Then Venerable, you have to be careful. Don't be caught, stewed as dog meat. ”

Di Ting said angrily: "You, you." ”

Shizi Xuan was happy and said, "Don't disturb His Holiness to rest." But if I remember coming to Jingmuro Mountain, I'm afraid that I won't leave for a long time. ”

"Got it, got it, get out, get out. ”

Di Ting didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly blasted him away.

Don't listen to it, Shi Zixuan called Zhang Qing again and asked, "Who has been looking for me these days?"

Zhang Qing said: "Tianlong Temple sent someone to ask, and there is a girl who asks to see her young lady." Oh, and that bitter wind man, who also came to invite the Lord to go to the Taoist Palace. ”

Shi Zixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Qing, you go to Tianlong Temple overnight and find Master Shenxiu. Tell him what he's looking for, and there will be news from tomorrow's land and water puja. Ask him not to act rashly and not to make extraneous things. ”

Zhang Qing nodded, and was about to leave, when Shi Zixuan said again: "When you come back, you go to Miss Lou again." Let her put away the day's belongings carefully. Don't show people lightly. ”

Zhang Qing nodded and remembered, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go first." ”

Shizi Xuanmu sent Zhang Qing away, thought about it, and took out the purple bamboo cane. Hang in the air a little.

At this moment, a little orange and yellow light appeared on the purple bamboo, and the bright moon in the sky turned gently.

In about a quarter of an hour, Shi Zixuan received his mana and waited quietly.

Half an hour later, Feng Qing came to invite, saying that there were carriages and horses from the imperial city waiting for Shi Zixuan outside the door.

"Dao Chief, there are guards from the Imperial City outside the door, please go to the Dao Chief. I don't know ......," Feng Qingchi asked.

Shi Zixuan nodded and said, "I know, I'll go out now." ”

With the wind cleared out the door, the two golden knife guards outside were waiting, and saw Shi Zixuan come out. Immediately bowed: "But Xuanzi Dao Chief?"

Shi Zixuan said: "It's me." ”

"Please get in the car, the national teacher, please. The Golden Knife Guard said respectfully.

Shi Zixuan was not surprised, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Got in the car. The golden sword guards drove quickly to the outside of the imperial city. Suddenly, a white light came from outside the sky, shining on the chariot and horses, and he saw the white chariot. Soaring into the air, a golden bridge floated in mid-air, and it actually led the carriage over.

If anyone sees it again, they will immediately find that the two guards who were driving the car have fallen asleep.

Shi Zixuan sat in the carriage, a little clear, a little trance, and a little puzzled.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage landed.

Shi Zixuan got out of the car and suddenly felt in a trance.

In the depths of this imperial city, there is a cave blessed land!

It is not stained with vulgar dust, the grass and trees are fragrant, and there are countless birds and animals. Three or two strange peaks, adding a few mouthfuls of living water, which shows the beauty of the pastoral mountains.

Outside the carriage there was a grass hut with a high shed.

Outside the grass house, there was an old man standing, wearing a Taoist robe, looking at him with a smile.

When Shizi Xuan saw this old man, he stood on the spot, and then there was a river of tears, running down his cheeks.

"Teacher, senior brother...... How did you become like this?"

People kill each other, but how can Shi Zixuan not recognize him?

In the past, how could a person who was in his prime, become a dying old man?

Recalling that when he first came to Qingwei Dongtian, the person who led the teacher and preacher was the fourth senior brother Xu Changqing, Xuanyin Zhenren. On that day, the Dao Palace said goodbye and met again, it has been thirty years, thirty years, in the Qingwei Cave Sky, regardless of the years, but in the red world, it is half a life and half a life.

But Shi Zixuan never thought that Xu Changqing would become what he is now.

Seeing him like this, Xu Changqing raised his hand to wipe his tears and said, "Okay, good." Little junior brother. I haven't seen you for so many years, but I didn't expect your cultivation to catch up with your brother. Seeing you like this, my brother is very happy. ”

After Shi Zixuan was excited, he gradually regained his mood and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, you sue me, why did you become like this?"

Xu Changqing said disapprerovingly: "This is nothing strange. The mortal body of the flesh, even if the Xuan vein is opened, the feud is well-connected, after all, it is a thing in the world. can't surpass the bad empty ending. Senior brother, I practiced in the Qingwei Cave Heaven, although I have been in the sky for 400 years, but it is all due to the teacher's merit, and I don't worry about my fate.

Now that thirty years have passed since Hongchen, the senior brother is naturally old. ”

Shi Zixuan was slightly flustered, and then felt a chill.

Thirty years, thirty years. If we talk about mortals, how many thirty years are there in life?

It's not a lot to say that it's half a life.

Master Zixuan opened his mind and transformed into a mortal, and sat alone for thirty years, and at that time he didn't understand anything, and he thought that cultivators were like this. As the saying goes, it's not a few years in the mountains, that's all.

Even if he was ordered by the patriarch to go down the mountain to practice, for more than a year, there was no sense of urgency.

But now that I see the appearance of the fourth senior brother, I have lost my prime, and I have gone to be graceful, leaving only my face full of wrinkles and my old body and frailty. It's a slap in the face!

Life is too short to think about before, but now ......

Is Xu Changqing enough?

Of course it is enough, the ancestor personally passed on the disciples, if he is not good enough, who can?

Xu Changqing's root device is not good?

Of course, it is good, those who can enter the Tao and practice wonderfully, and those who are not deficient in the root apparatus cannot achieve it.

Even so, Shi Zixuan also saw that Xu Changqing was running out of time.

Precisely:

Rootless tree, flowers are secluded.

Covet glory who is willing to rest.

Floating things, bitter sea boats,

Swinging around is not free.

No shore, no boundary, difficult mooring,

Often swim in the fish and dragon danger.

Ken to look back, is the shore,

Don't wait for the storm to break the boat......

Shizi Xuan said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, you go back to Qingwei quickly, with Master here, you will definitely be fine." ”

Xu Changqing said dumbly: "Little junior brother, you think too much. A clear and subtle. If you don't want to teach the law, you are not allowed to go back. ”

Shi Zixuan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." Master is merciful, seeing you like this, how can I let you go outside?"

Xu Changqing shook his head and said: "The teacher's grace is not in shelter, but in teaching." The virtue of a teacher is not in Pudu, but in enlightenment. ”

Xu Changqing pulled Shi Zixuan into the grass house, and the two knelt on the ground.

"Blessed land. Although it is a blessed land for Taoists, it is not a place for achievements on the ground. Junior Brother, have you seen so many cultivators in Qingwei Cave Heaven, how many of them have attained?" Xu Changqing asked.

Shi Zixuan pondered for a moment. said: "There are many Qingfu monks, but they are all free and detached. There are more spirit beast fairies, and most of them are people who are safe and do not think of danger. ”

Then he was a little embarrassed and said: "Don't talk about them, even my junior brother and I are like this." I always think that there is a master behind me. Worry-free. In any case, no matter how big the calamity, there is also the Master's help. The world is not easy to mix, it's a big deal, I refer back to the Moon Xuanguang Cave. ”

Xu Changqing laughed and nodded, "Yes." That's the case, not only you, but also our disciples, who is not?"

Xu Changqing sighed: "But the road is your own, and the road is also your own." No matter how great the teacher's magical powers are, he can't help you go. Even if his old man can incarnate 10 million and pass on your 3,000 avenues, but you shouldn't be able to go, or you can't go, it's useless. ”

I will give you a book of longevity and say three or two moral sentences. Touching your top knotted long hair, it is still useless if you don't suffer.

Hu Sang begged for no way, if he could hear a true word, he would be willing to die.

Qinghe Daoist found the way, but there was no time, crying and begging to move the Ding furnace.

There is no such thing as the Double Perfection in the world, and I can't wait for you to become enlightened and then give you time to practice. It's never too late to practice, but it's never too late.

Shi Zixuan's heart was gloomy, and he said, "I don't believe it, can the teacher really leave his senior brother alone?"

Xu Changqing could see it, and said with a slight smile: "Little junior brother, what do you think of this life?"

Shi Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Compared with the one-day life of aphids, people are worried. Hundreds of generations of people have passed by, and the world has long been worried. ”

Xu Changqing said: "Compared with heaven and earth, the eternal ones are immortal. ”

Shi Zixuan said: "Senior brother, what you said is not right. Practitioners, in order to seek eternal life, if they talk about eternal life, it is a big talk. Immortals have fallen, Buddhas have silence, how can they live forever. ”

Xu Changqing said: "The living are not happy, the dead are not bitter, if they are really detached, the vacuum will not be extinguished." It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead. The fear of death and the great terror are all because of life. Seeking to eliminate suffering, and those who remember the world are all because of life. ”

Xu Changqing's eyes were like dew, and he said leisurely:

"If I am an immortal in his year, my life will be only for a moment. ”

"If he is not immortal, the world will become bad, but for a moment. ”

"If he is not immortal, the universe will be reincarnated, but for a moment. ”

He said to Shi Zixuan: "Just like the teacher, he looks at you and me, in this world. One life of confusion, ten lives of confusion, are just a short moment. Some disasters and tribulations are all harvests and good things. Just for that more beautiful peak. ”

"So the teacher won't help us with everything, one qiē has to rely on ourselves. ”

Shi Zixuan was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Why does it sound so terrifying? Senior brother, is Master as terrifying as you say?"

Xu Changqing said indifferently: "There is nothing terrible or not, the teacher does a qiē, naturally there is a reason for him." ”

Shi Zixuan understood that Xu Changqing was unwilling to say any more, so he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Senior brother, I have something to ask you." What have you done in the 30 years since you left the mountain, and why did you become the national teacher of this dynasty?"

Once a national teacher, he was high and powerful, how noble. Under one man, above ten thousand.

But Shi Zixuan didn't believe that Xu Changqing would be the one who coveted power and slacked off his cultivation. (To be continued......)
