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

Chapter 418 I
Luoyang, dead of night.

The sky is as dark as ink, and occasionally a few starlights reach the world through the gaps in the clouds, as if telling ancient legends.

The mountains in the distance loomed in the night, like giant beasts in the sky that had not yet fallen asleep.

The shadows of the trees are whirling, swaying gently in the night wind, making a rustling sound. The stream is gurgling, and the sound of running water becomes clearer in the silence of the night.

Chen Yun was immersed in the harvest after testing the hearts of all demons.

At this time, he was like a person soaking in a hot spring after being caught in a cold night rain.

The surge of Dan Qi in his body and his state of mind approaching perfection made him feel that he had benefited a lot.

Suddenly, the air rippled in front of him, and a snow-white figure appeared.

Chen Yun looked sideways and saw Xie Ziran, whose true appearance had been restored, in a fluttering white dress. The starlight made her face, as delicate as a work of art, shine brightly.

So beautiful that it shines. This was originally an exaggerated description.

Xie Ziran was floating in the sky, not looking at Chen Yun, but looking up at the stars slightly, "It's been a long time since we last seen each other, how are you lately?"

The state of mind suitable for a superior mage may not be suitable for a high-level mage, and the state of mind suitable for a high-level mage may not be suitable for the realm of a leader.

It's just that the state of mind and cultivation are the same, but they are applicable in different stages.

How can there be such a spiritual person in the world?
Chen Yun sighed in his heart, and his salute was not slow at all, "Chen Pu, I have met Zhenren Xie."

Then, Chen Yun's father passed away, and he experienced another struggle. Finally, after being reminded by the Queen Mother of the West, his state of mind improved a lot.

"It's natural for my cultivation level to rise suddenly and my state of mind to be unable to keep up." Xie Ziran still walked forward slowly in the air, "I think back then, when I was twenty-seven years old and soared in the daytime, I was as unsteady as you, but then , As long as you can stick to your original intention, no matter how big the storms in the world are, you can't shake your ambition to seek the Tao."

Chen Yun knew that it might be a good opportunity for him to go down to protect Zhao Kuangyin's safety.

Indeed, it is normal for your own cultivation to improve too quickly and your state of mind to be unable to keep up.

Everything must have a process and cannot be achieved overnight.

Xie Ziziran slowly stepped forward in the air and said in a calm tone: "Even if I don't take action, you can still resist the devil on your own."

After chatting for a while, the two of them had already left Luoyang City in the air.

However, at this moment, he looked at Xie Ziran's fresh and refined beauty, and for the first time he discovered that "beautiful and radiant" was not an exaggerated description. On the contrary, it was actually a real description.

For example, in the Sun Moon Lake Cave, the future disciple let himself see the scene of the creation of the world, and his state of mind was greatly tempered at that time.

This time, before Chen Yun had time to keep his state of mind and cultivation at par, he was invaded by the earth demon and felt a little unable to resist, which is human nature.

It's not that Chen Yun has never tempered his state of mind. In fact, he has always paid great attention to his state of mind.

Chen Yun thought Xie Ziziran was driving him away, and said awkwardly: "I thought the teacher was taking me to Laojun Mountain when we met."

Chen Yun Yufeng floated forward and said with a wry smile: "Not necessarily, I feel that my mental state is not tempered enough."

These words make people a little confused. I'm not following you. Why are you asking me where I'm going?

"Pu is very good. Thank you for your concern, Master." Chen Yun thanked him: "I just thanked you for your help, teacher. Otherwise, I would have fallen into a demonic state and could not extricate myself, and I might have done harm to the people."

Chen Yun asked curiously: "Teacher, where are we going?"

Xie Ziran said: "I'm going to Laojun Mountain, where do you want to go?"

Xie Ziran said: "What I'm asking is, where does your heart want to go?"

Where does my heart want to go?

Hearing this question, Chen Yun was really confused.

I have been reincarnated in this world for thirty or forty years. I did not know that immortals existed, and I only wanted to improve my family environment.

Then, under his father's "calculation", he was lucky enough to become a disciple of the Taoist Temple.

From then on, I devoted myself to seeking the Tao, just to attain the Tao and live forever.

Chen Yun asked himself, what is the purpose of achieving immortality?

To live longer?
In order to be able to understand the operation of the great road and comprehend the truth of the world?
None of these seem to be important.

The meaning of life is the process and experience, not the final result.

Perhaps because of Xie Ziran's question, Chen Yun felt for the first time that he was practicing for the sake of practice. In short, for the results, he seemed to have ignored the process and experience.

Process and experience?
This involves philosophy.

Chen Yun suddenly recalled a poem by Su Shi.

There is a sentence in "Ding Feng Bo. The Nanhai Return to Wang Dingguo's Attendant and His Mother" reads: "This place of peace of mind is my hometown."

Chen Yun replied: "The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops. Although I can't reach it, my heart longs for it."

This sentence comes from Sima Qian's "Historical Records. The Family of Confucius". It roughly means: Praising character, talent, and learning is like a mountain, which requires people to look up to him, and makes people can't help but use his behavior as a guideline for behavior. Even if I can't achieve it, I am still fascinated. Of course Xie Ziran understands that Chen Yun is not expressing moral character, but is comparing the avenue to mountains and scenery, expressing that although he has not been able to reach that state yet, he has been working hard.

She shouted slightly and praised: "It's very good that you have such an idea. I hope your heart to cultivate Taoism can be like the perseverance of the moon, like the rising of the sun. Like the longevity of the Nanshan Mountain, it will neither grow nor collapse. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be as long as it is." "Accept."

Chen Yundao: "Be diligent."

Xie Ziran changed the subject, "Do you know where I want to go?"

Chen Yun was startled, "Didn't the teacher say before that he would go to Laojun Mountain?"

Xie Ziran said: "It's to Laojun Mountain, do you know why?"

Chen Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xie Ziran said: "The original name of Laojun Mountain was Jingshi Mountain. Do you know why it was renamed Laojun Mountain?"

Chen Yun naturally knows this. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu returned to Jingshi Mountain to practice Buddhism, and Lao Tzu was regarded as one of the incarnations of Lao Jun. Later, the Tang Dynasty Dingding recognized Lao Tzu as their ancestor. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent Yuchi Jingshi Mountain Tieding Laojun Temple was rebuilt out of respect for virtue and named "Laojun Mountain". This is the historical origin of Jingshi Mountain becoming Laojun Mountain.

He told what he knew.

Xie Ziziran hummed softly and said: "Because Laojun Mountain is the place where I retreat to retreat, I will occasionally show my sage here every once in a while. There is no fixed period, it is purely accidental."

Chen Yun immediately guessed it when he heard it, "You mean, I will show my sage at Laojun Mountain tonight?"

Xie Ziran said: "Good, I will appear and preach tonight. If we can hear a few words, it will be of great benefit to our practice. Therefore, I came here early just to listen to Lao Tzu's sermon."

Chen Yun didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to listen to Laozi's sermon, and for a moment, his heart was very excited.

Although I am only one of the incarnations of Taishang Laojun, my status in Taoism is so high that everyone wants to meet this sage.

According to rumors, I am the eighteenth incarnation of Laojun.

Of course, in the "Eighty-one Transformations of Laojun" picture of the transformations of all ages, Laozi is the twenty-third transformation.

No matter which record it is, it can fully prove one thing. I am indeed the incarnation of Laojun, and he is the most famous one among all the incarnations.

You must know that Laojun's incarnations include great gods such as Guangchengzi and Amitabha. As the eighteenth incarnation, Laozi has the most famous reputation. His cultivation must be among the best among all incarnations.

Therefore, it is definitely a great honor to hear such a person preach.

Chen Yun couldn't help but be fascinated, wanting to see how splendid the Taoist ancestor was.

……

Come to Laojun Mountain.

Chen Yun saw colorful lights in front of him, and fairy sounds were curling up and rising.

There seemed to be some intoxicating sounds of nature mixed in the night wind.

He really wanted to hear clearly what these heavenly sounds meant, but unfortunately, no matter how hard Chen Yun tried, he could not hear clearly what these heavenly sounds were telling him.

Despite this, he still tried hard to keep these heavenly sounds in his mind, thinking that one day he could decipher the secrets.

We went not far further.

Chen Yun saw many figures sitting in front of him, but these figures, even if he had reached the realm of the leader, were still blurry, as if these figures did not exist in his own world.

In the middle of thousands of people gathered around, there sat an old man with a natural noble appearance, a yellow-white complexion, beautiful eyebrows, a broad forehead, big eyes and long ears, a square mouth and thick lips, two nasal bones, and three ear holes.

Not surprisingly, it was me.

What made Chen Yun feel strange was that when he and Xie Ziran came here, he clearly heard Lao Tzu's sermon stopped for a moment, and he even saw Lao Tzu seeming to nod slightly towards him.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, or if I knew Xie Ziran and was signaling to him.

It's a pity that Chen Yun is destined to not get an answer for the time being. Xie Ziran in front has quietly sat down outside the crowd.

Chen Yun thought for a while, but did not dare to disturb Laozi's sermon, and casually crossed his knees in the open space behind Xie Ziran.

Lao Tzu's sermon seemed to be coming to an end. The sounds of nature came out of his mouth and became passionate. The whole world seemed to be spinning and changing.

Chen Yun has the feeling of being transported through the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

At the same time, he also felt that he seemed to be experiencing countless reincarnations.

Perhaps he and Xie Ziran came too late. After a while, I ended his sermon. Then, he said in words that Chen Yun could understand, "In the Golden Pass above Yujing, I was concentrating on my reverie." , a place of constant response.”

As soon as the voice fell, five colors rose up, and I gradually disappeared.

The vague figures around him all disappeared at almost the same time.

Chen Yun was still immersed in the heavenly sounds of Laozi's sermons. Although he didn't understand a word just now, he felt a sense of enlightenment deep in his heart that he understood everything in the world.

It was as if, at that moment, I merged into the stars, stars, and all living things in the world.
