There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 523 The so-called disaster

The gate of the mountaintop dojo.

Zuo Xuan felt a little uneasy. Zi Luan's return to Nanlin Road was of great importance, and Zi Luan would definitely have to accept the messy Six Heart Sect when he returned.

If she wants to continue on and seek the third realm, she must make a difference in her current position, otherwise she will be abandoned by the southern practice community, but she must get Wang Ping's support for many things.

The courtyard door slowly opened as she waited anxiously, and then a familiar voice reached her ears, "You look very worried. Is there anything interesting?"

It was Yu Lian. She was hanging on the beam of the gate, her vertical pupils staring curiously at Zuo Xuan and looking up and down.

Zuo Xuan breathed out, and the silver earrings flashed with a blue light. The calico cat appeared from the light, looking at the rain lotus on the beam and said "meow~".

Yu Lian fell from the beam, and Teng Yun stood in front of the gate, watching the calico cat vomiting snake letters, and said: "Long time no see, little guy!"

"Meow~"

The calico cat flew towards Yu Lian, but was knocked to the ground by Yu Lian's tail.

Yulian took the opportunity to catch up, and the calico cat immediately ran into the dense spiritual grass in the garden. Zuo Xuan looked at the playful Yulian and calico cat, raised his legs and entered the garden, feeling the dense wood spirit in the garden, and took a look The grass under her feet and the paths in the garden had disappeared, so she had no choice but to walk towards the courtyard in the direction she remembered.

Halfway through, she heard a sound of water coming from the side. She turned around and saw the calico cat catching fish under the leadership of Yu Lian. The joyful scene calmed down the tension that had arisen in her heart for some reason.

Soon, he saw the yard in his memory. The yard was still the same as before, except that the thatched roof was replaced by black tiles. Most of the tile surfaces were still covered with moss. There were many spiritual trees piled randomly in the yard, and there were also some carvings. Half of the wood carvings are piled haphazardly together.

Of course, what concerned her the most was Wang Ping, who was sitting next to the stone table in the yard. The moment she saw Wang Ping, she immediately clasped her fists and said, "Fellow Taoist Changqing, long time no see."

"It's only seven years." Wang Ping casually pointed to the stone bench opposite him and invited: "Come and sit, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Zuo Xuan clasped his fists again, and when he entered the courtyard and sat down, Wang Ping spoke again: "You have cultivated your humanity a little too fully. It seems that you have stayed in the mortal world for too long. Now you should calm down and go into seclusion for a few years."

"What fellow Taoist said is that I often fall into long periods of thinking recently, thinking about useless things." Zuo Xuan said softly, "It's just Taoist palace affairs..."

"The affairs of the Dao Palace are actually not important to me, and they don't seem to be important to you, right? And maybe now is the best time to retreat behind the scenes." Wang Ping interrupted Zuo Xuan.

After hearing this, Zuo Xuan fell into thinking. After more than ten breaths, she clasped her fists and said, "I'm thinking randomly again..." She rubbed her left arm, making a crisp sound of metal collision, which sounded very pleasant, and then said: "Fellow Taoist has thought more carefully than me. Now that Taoist Zhigong is so domineering, it is indeed a good idea for us to withdraw voluntarily."

She first agreed with Wang Ping's idea, and then said: "However, Taoist Master Ziluan will return to Nanlin Road in half a month. According to what Taoist Zhigong conveyed to the southern practice community before he planned to build the Taoist Palace, he will come back this time I'm afraid that if we take over the position of the leader of the Six Heart Sect and the change of the Chu Kingdom's throne, our internal balance will be broken instantly. "

She looked at Wang Ping when she said this, but Wang Ping did not change his expression at all. His eyes were fixed on the tea set on the stone table, and his hands were busy making tea.

Zuo Xuan's mood calmed down unconsciously. When Wang Ping poured her tea, he said: "Once our internal problems break out, external threats will come. The Datong Kingdom may take the opportunity to fully occupy Beiyuan Road. And threaten the upper capital area.”

Wang Ping pushed the tea cup filled with tea in front of Zuo Xuan and said with a smile: "Now I finally understand why the Dao Zang Temple stipulates that monks cannot serve as inspectors for more than ten years. Fellow Taoist Zi Luan did not follow this rule, which resulted in him not being promoted. They have no courage, but fellow Taoist Danchen is too compassionate, and Yunshan has too strong a sense of justice in his heart. "They could have avoided their thoughts falling into extreme human nature by entering meditation, but the greed in their hearts made them. They are reluctant to let go of their power, causing them to fall into consequences they should not have.”

"Greed is not just what you imagine. Excessive compassion and justice are also a kind of greed. Sometimes the disasters caused by such greed are even greater than those caused by some evil people."

Hearing this, Zuo Xuan subconsciously retorted: "I don't think so, and it's not because of compassion and justice. Also, weapon cultivation requires full humanity. I will not take the path of Yunshan and Danchen. I know very well that I doing what."

Wang Ping picked up the teacup and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Protect the interests of the southern monks!"

"Why do you think so?"

Zuo Xuan fell into a brief thought. After thinking for a long time, she said seriously: "I lived in a good life since I was a child, and lived carelessly until the age of fifteen. Although I lived a carefree life, people in my family never looked at me. , until one day they needed me to marry, I was very happy, not because of marrying, but because of being needed.”

Her story ended abruptly here, obviously not wanting to continue.

However, Wang Ping understood the reason, so he did not say much on this issue. This is what monks call the mortal calamity. Many monks cannot get out of this calamity in their lives, but as long as they get out, the sky is high and the world is far away.

Wang Ping has had a clear goal since the day he started practicing Taoism. This is the fundamental reason why Taoist Yucheng said he is smart. Such people have a very low chance of having a worldly calamity on their way to cultivation.

The tribulation of the mortal world seems simple, but in fact, the relationship between cause and effect is very large. If you are not careful, it will lead to the end of body and soul. For example, Dan Chen and Yun Shan, even Zi Luan cannot cross it at present, and then there is Zuo Xuan in front of him. She actually wanted to protect the interests of the southern cultivation community under the current situation in Chu State.

And the causes and effects here are endless!

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Ping asked: "Are you here this time about the return of fellow Taoist Ziluan to Nanlin Road?"

Zuo Xuan picked up the tea cup but did not drink the tea. He met Wang Ping's eyes and responded: "Yes!"

"Now that you have entered the door of my Qianmu Temple, you are my disciple of Qianmu Temple. You have reasons to do what you do. I support it in principle, but I will not be involved in this cause and effect. Everything is up to you." bear."

Zuo Xuan put down his tea cup, stood up and bowed with his fists, solemnly performing a Taoist fist-clenching salute.

Wang Ping said casually: "As long as you know the rules, I won't go to Zi Luan's succession ceremony. You can go and take a look on my behalf. You can go to Shuang'er to discuss the matter of the replacement of the Chu Kingdom's throne. She You can come back.”

"Yes!"

After Zuo Xuan agreed, he continued: "There is one more thing. There is news about the 'Shenhun Yinzi' that fellow Taoist inquired about."
