Jiuzun asked

After the brilliance dissipated, Xiao Wenwen sat on top of the stone statue, looking at everyone outside the stone city.

Whether it was the Demon Emperor, the Six Saints of Guixu, or the disciples of Xianshan, they scanned everyone with the eyes of the immortal saints.

"Have you realized something?" Dugu Lanyi asked.

The remaining five saints returning to the ruins looked at Xiao Wendao's expression with scorching eyes, held up the sword as a pen, and wrote a word with one stroke, proud.

The immortal sage cultivated the Tao with "arrogance", and looked down upon the nine heavens.

People are proud of the sky, and the sky is proud of the Tao.

I am the great sage, and the great sage is equal to the sky.

Everything becomes me, and the avenue returns to one.

Ever-changing, enlightenment is empty.

Under Xiao Wendao's sword, these 32 characters were turned into golden inscriptions, engraved on the golden body of the Immortal Saint, the golden light flashed, and the six sages of Guixu all lowered their heads, looking at the weapon of the Immortal Saint.

Qi Tianchu was still held in the hands of the Longevity Saint, and pointed straight at the sky.

The sky was shattered by the Qitian pestle, and the sage of longevity mended the sky with his body, creating Guixu.

"The Saint of Longevity did not break the void, but was captured by the heavens." Xiao Wen asked the Six Saints of Guixu, and there was a scene of the Saint of Longevity mending the sky in his eyes.

The six saints of Guixu looked at each other, they didn't understand Xiao Wendao's words, but they all drew their swords.

"72 Changes, Three Enlightenments of the Dao."

The fairy swords of the six people rushed towards Xiao Wendao, Xiao Wendao's expression tightened, three swords pierced into the mouth of the longevity statue, two swords pierced between the eyebrows, Dugu Lanyi's sword for defeat pierced the statue top of the head.

"Wooooooh".

Kongkong yelled twice, watching the statue of longevity split into two, saw a peach branch grow out from under the crack, a peach blossom grew from the peach branch, and a person sat on the tip of the flower.

Kong Kong jumped down, and Xiao Wendao naturally jumped down too, looking at the figure, it became clearer and clearer.

"What a stubborn monkey."

Hearing a secret sigh, Xiao Wendao and Kong Kong were already in another world.

"Empress, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let a human race go to the ruins." A person in a silver-white Taoist robe said.

Dugu Lanyi looked at the remaining five sages and said: "The 72 skills of the cave gods are the supernatural powers of the sage. In the Dongshen Dao Sutra, the sage left a holy word. At the beginning of five thousand, good fortune comes naturally."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the five saints of Guixu, and continued: "Today in 5000 years is the day when the Holy Lord broke the void. In the past 5000 years, Xiao Wenwen was the only one who realized the heart formula of the Longevity Holy Lord. A pen, an arrogance. We are waiting for the disciples of the saints, who has this understanding and heart."

Listening to what Dugu Lanyi said, the Five Sages of Guixu stared at the peach branch in the stone statue.

Legend has it that it is the incarnation of the Longevity Saint.

When he first entered, in the legendary Return to the Ruins, Xiao Wenwen saw a thin monkey kneeling in front of a cave.

On the stone tablet of Dongfu, "Three Thinking Cave" is engraved.

"How much do you think about today?" A Taoist in plain white Taoist robe asked.

The monkey raised its head, its nose was red with cold and said: "Think twice, think twice."

"Don't think twice."

"Thinking...thinking...well, thinking about Taoism, thinking about becoming a fairy, thinking about respecting the teacher." The monkey hesitated to say "Thinking".

The Taoist stretched out his hand towards the top of the monkey's head, slapped the monkey three times and said, "You are thinking wrong, this is not what a monkey should be thinking."

The monkey blushed like blood, lowered its head, licked its dry lips, and continued to kneel.

After another three years, another Taoist asked the monkey and said, "Three years, how much do you think?"

"Think twice."

There was a purple tree outside the cave, and the fallen dead leaves buried the monkey in it, revealing only a pair of monkey eyes.

"Don't think twice."

"Think about three meals a day, think about one's own past, think about three years of cultivating the Tao." The tip of the monkey's nose was still red from the cold, and the monkey's eyes were also red, as if remembering something.

"Come here, some of you, wake up this monkey for me." The man greeted a few Taoists who practiced Taoism, and kicked and punched the monkey.

The monkey bared its white teeth, lying outside the Sansi Cave, covered in wounds, buried in the snow by a heavy snowfall.

The monkey lay lazily in the snow. It felt warm in the snow, as warm as the cave where it lived.

Holding a bundle of dry firewood, you can sleep for three days and three nights.

"puff"

A basin of cold water woke up the monkey sleeping in the snow. When the monkey opened his eyes, he felt weak.

"Ah."

The tip of the monkey's nose became even redder, as red as a ripe strawberry. Thinking of the strawberry, the monkey licked its dry lips again.

With that basin of cold water, the monkey continued to kneel in front of the Sansi Cave soberly.

A beautiful figure, carrying a gray Taoist robe, came to the monkey and said: "The patriarch did not accept you as an apprentice, there must be the patriarch's intention. It is cold, so you should put on a robe."

That Taoist robe warmed Monkey's heart, he looked at the woman and asked, "Are you also a demon?"

"I'm not a demon, I'm a fairy clan, Nine Heavens Crane." The woman said, her face was full of glory.

"Nine Heavens Crane, isn't that still a demon?" Monkey thought, and said what was in his heart.

"I said I'm not a demon, not a demon." After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left, never seeing her again.

Wearing that gray robe, he knelt down for another ten years, and he never saw the woman again.

"What a stubborn monkey." This is a sentence often said by monks in front of the Sansi Cave.

"I'll ask you again, don't you think twice." An old man in an azure Taoist robe asked.

"I think twice."

"Don't think twice."

"Think once, why is it difficult for demons to cultivate immortals. Think twice, what is the way of immortality. Think twice, step through the sky." The monkey finally stood up.

He knelt for ten years, and the stone slab in front of Sansi Cave had been kneeled out of two ravines.

"I'll answer your question, you can go down the mountain." The old man said, and continued: "Immortal Dao does not distinguish between demons and humans, but only immortals and saints. You have worshiped the wrong family. Second, what is the immortal way. The Dao is the immortal, and the longevity is the law. Third, what has it to do with me."

The monkey gritted its teeth and listened to the old man's words.

"Worshiping the wrong family, this demon saint in the mortal world is not worthy to lift the shoes of an immortal. You cultivate the Tao and become immortals, and you only want to live forever. I cultivate immortals to eliminate demons and fight demons. Breaking through the sky has nothing to do with you." The monkey said angrily. Then, he continued: "After 5000 years, you will watch me break through the sky."

The old man didn't speak, looked at the snot bubbles on the tip of the monkey's nose, threw out a book and said, "Wipe your nose clean, and then talk big."

The monkey didn't even look at it, but tore off a piece of paper and saw a line of words on the page.

Cave God Taixuan 72 Taoist scriptures.

"Great Ancestor." The monkey was about to kowtow, when he unfolded the piece of paper in his hand, he saw nothing.

The monkey stared at the old man with round eyes.

"This Taixuan Daojing teaches the art of illusion. If you tear off a page, you will save a change. You can go." After the old man finished speaking, he entered the Sansi Cave.

I saw four words written in the Taixuan Dao Jing, think twice before acting.

Holding the Taixuan Dao Sutra in his arms, the monkey went down to the Sansi Cave, studied it for ten years, and practiced the art of illusion to the extreme.

But the page that he tore off, he has been thinking all day, what kind of fairy art is on that page.

After retreating to seek the Tao, after the completion of the Tao, he will break through the emptiness and become a fairy.

"Where did the teacher come from?" asked the immortal official who sealed the immortal book.

"Three Thought Cave."

"Three Thoughts Cave." The fairy official raised his eyebrows, he couldn't remember that there was such a fairy mansion.

"Report to the fairy officials, but there is no such fairy house." Said a fairy boy.

"That's a loose cultivator, that is, a casual cultivator cannot practice Taoism in the heavens." The fairy official said, and wrote the monkey's name on the immortal seal book of the casual cultivator.

The four characters of Suoyang Earth Immortal are engraved on the seal book.

The monkey gritted its teeth, picked up the Qi Tian pestle, and slapped the fairy case in two. Its monkey eyes were so fierce that the fairy official could only lie on the ground.

"I went to heaven just to have a taste of the Nine Heavens." After the monkey finished speaking, he soared into the clouds.

Soaring up from the clouds, holding the Qitian pestle, he smashed a piece of the sky and put it in his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." The monkey stood on the Nine Heavens Hall, scratching its ears and cheeks.

"A mere earth immortal dares to be rampant." The immortals sacrificed their spirit treasures and fought with the monkeys.

"What a stubborn monkey." An old Taoist in a silver-white Taoist robe said.

Monkey looked at the old Taoist, said with a smile on his monkey face: "The ancestor is here, and I will be worshiped by disciple Suoyang."

"What are you doing with me?"

"Taixuan's 72 skills, the disciple has cultivated the Dao."

"What are the 72 Taixuan techniques?"

"In front of the Three Thinking Cave, Taixuan 72 Techniques."

"Haha, who doesn't know that the Immortal Mansion of my Patriarch Shenyin is the Sanxing Cave. I have a unique skill, the Tianxuan 72 Technique. I have nothing to do with you."

The monkey's eyes were full of resentment and surlyness, and he held the Qitian pestle in his hand and said, "I have no family and no teacher in Suoyang, if you want to catch me, use your skills."

The old man didn't say a word, turned around and rose into the clouds, only to hear a voice from the sky: "The way of heaven is impermanent, nothing is born out of nothing."

Suddenly, the monkey understood what was written on the page he tore off.

That is the Taoist formula of Patriarch Shenyin, Thinking twice, with only sixteen characters.

The low earth is the sea, and the low man is the king.

The way of heaven is impermanent, and something is born out of nothing.

The monkey remembered that when he first arrived in front of Sansi Cave, he asked a person what the three characters were written on the stone tablet in front of the cave.

The man replied, think three holes.

Others say it is "Three Thought Cave", so it is Sansi Cave.

Today's monkey can't remember whether it is the Sanxing Cave or the Sansi Cave. He only remembers the snow in front of the Sansi Cave, which fell for a long time.

The monkey was caught in the heaven, punished by lightning and frozen by fire.

72 spells, 81 kalpas.

One technique and one life, and nine lives owed.

There is a monkey hair on the back of the monkey's head. After thousands of tempers, the monkey hair fell to the mortal world and turned into a peach branch.

That peach branch has a green calyx with a drop of dew left.

···

···

That green calyx immediately grew into a peach blossom, a pear-white peach blossom.

Xiao Wenwen couldn't see whether the Immortal Saint was alive or dead. There was only this peach blossom in his pupils.

Xiao Wenwen picked up the peach blossom, looked at it again and again, thinking in his heart, this is the realm of Guixu.

"Let him take Guixu away." A demon saint in a light white Taoist robe said.

"For 5000 years, he is the only one who can understand the arrogance of the Holy Venerable, and can pick up the realm of Guixu. This is his good fortune, and maybe it is also the good fortune of the Holy Venerable." Wendao came out holding the Peach Branch Realm Body of Guixu.

"Xumeru Realm, I didn't expect Guixu to be the Sumeru Realm." Xiao asked with a smile on his face.

The rest of the five sages returned to the ruins with mournful expressions on their faces.
