Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 232 Mood

The mid-range version of Lianjing Qi Decoction is really amazing.

In just an hour, Chen Yun felt huge benefits from it.

He calculated that it shouldn't take too long for him to break through to a high-level mage, at most three months to half a year.

In fact, Chen Yun has a faster way to improve his cultivation, such as taking the essence and blood obtained from water snakes, or taking dragon essence.

But he didn't do that.

The main reason is that whether it is swallowing water snake essence and blood or dragon essence, it takes time to refine.

Chen Yun is currently exploring the Sun Moon Lake Cave with Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and others. They have to travel 10,000 to 20,000 miles every day and face possible dangers. How can they have time to refine?

Not to mention refining, he didn't have time or space to practice even spells such as Dragon Slaying Technique and Golden Light Spell, so he could only simulate them in his mind.

After all, some stunts cannot be practiced in front of others, otherwise they may be stolen.

Just after practicing, Chen Yun guided Qin Ming in practicing the Qi Conquering Technique.

Afterwards, Qin Ming, who was a little weak, took a shower and went to sleep.

Chen Yun was in a good mood because the Refining Qi Transformation Decoction was very effective, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.

I originally wanted to simulate practicing dragon slaying.

Suddenly, he saw a bright light in the far distant sky.

"Huh?" Chen Yun looked surprised, "It's night now, why is the light over there as bright as day?"

The light was extremely strange. For a while, the Buddha's teachings shone everywhere, and from time to time, there was a thick demonic aura rising into the sky, as if there were extremely powerful super monks fighting.

Chen Yun was observing when he suddenly saw Wu Kejiu flying back from a distance with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Chen." Wu Kejiu greeted him from a distance before he landed.

Chen Yun raised his head and looked over, "Master Wu, what's going on in the northern sky?"

Wu Kejiu seemed to have returned to the camp just for this matter. As he landed in front of Chen Yun, he frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Buddhist monks and the great sage of the demon race who are at the Sun Moon Spring for the treasure." Fighting skills, although Sun Moon Yongquan is millions of miles away from us, but they are all real-person level. If the fight is too fierce, the power that is likely to explode will travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, and even affect us. side."

Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but recall the old monk and the bull demon before entering the Sun Moon Lake Cave.

He had never imagined that a real person could be so powerful that he could fight from millions of miles away, and that it was possible for his power to be shocked even near where he was.

Chen Yun hesitated and said: "We are millions of miles away from the Sun and Moon Spring. Can their fighting skills really affect us?"

Wu Kejiu said with a look of longing: "If you rely on your own strength, the real person may not be able to have such a broad influence, but the biggest difference between the real person and us ordinary monks is their use of the power of heaven and earth. Therefore, if the real person wants to, even if he is separated from us, It is possible to cast spells in thousands of mountains and rivers. Generally speaking, real people have perfect control over the power of heaven and earth and will not affect other places. But who knows whether they will cast real fire and forget to control the power of heaven and earth, thus Cause a huge disaster."

Chen Yun has been in contact with many gods, but he has never seen a real fight between gods, so he naturally doesn't know how terrible real people are.

Now that he heard what Wu Kejiu said, Chen Yun was really yearning to see how sensational the fight between the Buddhist monks and the demon sage was.

Of course, just think about this kind of thing.

Chen Yun would not be so stupid as to run over to watch the battle, because as Wu Kejiu said, who knows whether the Buddhist monk and the demon sage will use real fire to affect others?

The two fell silent for a brief moment, just looking towards the northern sky.

The light over there keeps surging, as if the fight has entered a fever pitch.

At the beginning, Chen Yun was still reading with great interest. Later, he turned over and over again, either the Buddha's light was surging or the demonic energy was rampant. He was a little tired of aesthetics and was too lazy to read anymore.

Chen Yun then turned his head to look at Wu Kejiu and asked casually, "When the water hyenas attacked that day, you and Qin Ming were obviously capable of leaving everyone behind and escaping. Why would you rather sacrifice with everyone than escape alone?" ?”

This question has been lingering in his mind for a long time, but before Yuan Chu and other sword cultivators were there, he could not talk to Wu Kejiu about this matter alone. Now that Yuan Chu and other sword cultivators have left, everyone is patrolling and sleeping. Chen Yun is just right Dekong and Wu Kejiu said a few words about healing, and naturally they wanted to ask the questions in their hearts.

"I wonder if Mr. Chen knows about Magadha?" Wu Kejiu asked back.

Chen Yundao: "I know a little bit."

Wu Kejiu nodded slightly and said: "It is said that I transformed into the eighty-first, and the forty-second transformation into Kaimojie. I think Mr. Chen is no stranger to this."

As a Taoist practitioner, Chen Yun naturally knew this matter very well.

It is said that when Lao Tzu entered the Kingdom of Magai, he transformed his body into a golden form and his hands and five luminaries to transform the princes and speak the Mahayana French language. Tell the people of all countries and send your orders. Eliminate thoughts, break away worries, cut away nameless karma, and be tranquil inside and outside, then your body and mind will be at peace, and your aspirations and interests will be free. Therefore, the Buddha's teaching was widely spread, named Qingjing Buddha, and Brahmins and others were ordered to follow it.

The general meaning of these words is that Lao Tzu incarnated as the prince of Magadha and founded Buddhism. His name was Infinite Purity Buddha, which is another name for Infinite Life Buddha and Amitabha Buddha, and he made Brahmins and others follow the teachings.

On the surface, it only says that Buddhism was founded, but in fact it also includes Hinduism.

Chen Yun didn't understand why Wu Kejiu said this, "What does Leader Wu mean?" Wu Kejiu said: "My Manichaeism originated from ancient Persian Zoroastrianism. After it spread to the East, it was tainted with some Buddhist colors, many of which The teachings come from the Kingdom of Mogai. Laozi taught the world to be benevolent and righteous. As the Manichean master of Eastern Manichaeism, that is, the leader, I naturally have to abide by Laojun’s teachings and keep benevolence and righteousness in my heart. Therefore, even if the sky collapses, I cannot Abandoning everyone."

When Chen Yun heard this, he suddenly realized.

He finally understood why Wu Kejiu was so "loyal" and co-authored because he misunderstood Laozi's preaching thoughts.

Laozi spreads benevolence and righteousness, which is actually somewhat different from Confucian benevolence and righteousness. Wu Kejiu regarded Confucian benevolence and righteousness as Taoism.

Lao Tzu believes that benevolence, righteousness, filial piety and kindness are originally the natural nature of human beings and do not need to be promoted. It already exists naturally there. For example, the love of parents for their children and the filial piety of children towards their parents are all natural. There is no need to add anything to it and establish it. Good names such as "kindness" and "filial piety" are consciously promoted. If they are rewarded and promoted, it will lead to the emergence of pseudo-morality driven by interests and reputation, leading to the loss of true morality. This is a typical example of good intentions leading to bad things. The gain outweighs the loss.

To put it simply, Laozi believes that true benevolence and righteousness are “not as good as keeping the center”.

Therefore, the benevolence and righteousness that Laozi believes is more like the highest state of Confucian benevolence and righteousness: "do what one wants without going beyond the rules."

After listening to Wu Kejiu's words, Chen Yun felt that the benevolence and righteousness understood by the other party did not reach the state of "following one's heart without violating the rules". Instead, he was bound by secular rules and believed that "benevolence and righteousness" meant sacrificing one's life for righteousness.

As for his instinctive "impulse" to meet the enemy at that time, it was more like "following his heart's desire".

Chen Yun thought for a while and reminded: "Master Wu, you may have misunderstood Lao Tzu's thoughts on benevolence and righteousness. We as Taoists believe in ruling the world by doing nothing. True love is not loving, and true benevolence and righteousness is following the heart's desires... "

He explained in detail the thoughts of benevolence and righteousness that he understood.

Wu Kejiu listened attentively. The chance for a Taoist disciple to explain "morality" was very slim, so the chance that non-Daoists would hear it was very slim. Naturally, he had to listen attentively to every word Chen Yun said.

Finally, Chen Yun concluded: "If you really think so in your heart and think that sacrificing your life for righteousness is benevolence and righteousness, then this is your way of benevolence and righteousness. But if you don't want to die in your heart, but you are still bound by the so-called benevolence and righteousness, you would rather risk your life." To save people's lives is more like 'hypocrisy' on the surface. To cultivate the Tao is to cultivate one's mind and oneself. 'Following the desires of the heart without going beyond the rules' is a transcendent state. I hope you can understand it one day."

Wu Kejiu suddenly woke up, bowed deeply to Chen Yun, and said: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your guidance. Wu has benefited a lot from this."

Chen Yun waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, our friendship between life and death deserves a reminder or two."

Wu Kejiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Chen is indeed a Taoist master. Although his cultivation is weaker than mine, his superb state of mind is beyond the reach of Wu."

Chen Yun said with a smile: "You who practice heretic magic often cultivate your life but not your nature. Therefore, many people have no strength, but in the end they cannot achieve Taoism and become immortals. In fact, they have fallen into the inferior state. If you really have the intention Xiang Dao, I suggest you cultivate your nature more, otherwise you will fall into disaster in the future. No matter how powerful you are, you may die inexplicably and lose your life. Remember, cultivation of both nature and life is fundamental, and do not be obsessed with power."

Wu Kejiu bowed deeply again, "Mr. Chen's words are shocking and enlightening. Wu must remember them."

At this moment, Wu Kejiu was truly impressed by Chen Yun. It had nothing to do with his strength or background, but he admired the other person's transcendent state of mind.

Speeches like cultivating both sex and life may be very common in Taoist sects, and basically those who practice Taoism will be warned about it. However, in outsiders' practice, few people mention "sex".

Precisely because they do not understand the importance of "sex", the probability of attaining Taoism among outsiders is much lower than that among Taoists.

The two chatted for a while about monasticism.

Later, Wu Kejiu looked at the Buddha's light and monster aura that were still churning in the northern sky, and couldn't help but sigh heavily, "The battle between the Buddhist monks and the monster sage is still going on. It seems that we have to change the route tomorrow, otherwise If you follow the original route, you will most likely be affected by the fighting skills of those two."

Chen Yun asked: "The original route, I remember, can go all the way to Sun and Moon Spring. If the route is changed, which way should I go?"

"The original route allows us to go all the way to the Sun and Moon Spring, and the possibility of encountering other monks on the road will be greatly reduced. Well, the reason why we encountered many other monks at the beginning was because everyone had just moved here, and the distance Generally it is not too far, but as you go deeper into the cave, the possibility of encounters between monks will become smaller." Wu Kejiu explained in detail: "After all, the sky is high and far away in the Sun Moon Lake Cave, so the possibility of encountering each other after being separated is unlikely. "

He paused and continued: "As for the alternative route, we should take the Ice and Fire Road. There are more spiritual roots of heaven and earth there, but there are more people going there. Maybe we will encounter some other monks, so, There will be more disputes by then, and I hope Mr. Chen will be prepared."

Ice and fire path?

Before Chen Yun came, he had seen the map briefly drawn by Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, Kang Yuan and others, and knew that it was a shortcut to the sun and moon spring, surrounded by two completely different energies: severe cold and fire.

The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth over there is majestic, which has given birth to more spiritual roots of heaven and earth, as well as many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Wu Kejiu even once said that there might be a magic weapon conceived there.

Precisely because there are more heaven and earth spiritual roots and heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Ice and Fire Dao, there will be more monks exploring and the spiritual beasts guarding them will be more ferocious.

It seems that the danger in the next line is far greater than now.

Although Chen Yun had collected the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed to refine the Qi Transformation Soup in the mid-range version, since he entered the Sun Moon Lake Cave with everyone, he would definitely not be able to abandon everyone after his mission was completed.

Okay, just be dangerous.

As the saying goes, risks and opportunities coexist.

Maybe I will have some unexpected gains on the Ice and Fire Road.
