No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 117: Recognize the World
The behavioral logic of immortals can be traced back to their time as mortals.

During the process of cultivation, immortals may continue the action patterns and logic of mortals, or they may derive and transform new behavior patterns.

If you strip away the halo from the immortal, he is just another kind of person.

A special kind of person!
Some of them are like Lan Dao Ren, pursuing a free and easy life.

Some are like Danxian, who just want to live.

What is different is what they do, but what is the same is that their "core" is the same.

Do what you want to do and follow your own path.

Who determines what people must do, and who determines what is right for people to do?

Who defines what immortals are like?
Who stipulates what the immortal’s position must be?
It was because he had seen so many things like this that Lando chose that path.

Just like the matter of the Huangdan Society, if Lan Daoren brought Xu Shun with him, they would not get involved at all unless they felt that the elixir was clearly born.

It was just like when someone tried to stop Lan Dao Ren's boat. Lan Dao Ren simply fought him off with two swords and was too lazy to give chase.

no need.

What if I kill him? What if I don’t?
The dispute between snails and ants is just like encountering a bug, which Lan Daoren would just drive away.

The only thing that concerns him now is the banished immortal who escaped from the fairyland.

Those banished immortals will inevitably bring great changes to the world of immortal cultivation, and even endless disasters. He cannot sit idly by.

From this perspective, Lan Daoren is still somewhat kind-hearted.

"Oh!" Xu Shun sighed.

After listening to what Master Lan said, the doubts in his mind were resolved.

Standpoint, right and wrong, Taoism and evil…

How should he choose the path?

Can you really change the world by yourself?

Can he do it?
Can he really do it?

He mused.

"Practicing is for your own practice, not for others. Although I don't know who you are talking about, I would like to advise you to think it through." Taoist Lan said as he looked at Xu Shun in deep thought.

He also couldn't figure out who the "he" he was talking about was.

I haven’t heard Xu Shun say that.

We can't bring shame to "him", so "he" must be a very important person to Xu Shun.

After a while, Xu Shun said in a deep voice: "Let me try."

It is easy to give up his ideals. He can live a free and easy life like Lan Dao Ren, he can do easy things and practice step by step.

But he knew that was not what he wanted to do and he would not be happy.

Having inherited "his" ideas, how could he allow himself to become a coward and an escapee?

What's the difference between that and a scumbag like Danxian?
Is he such an ugly person?

Xu Shun's bottom line did not allow him to do this, and he could not get over that hurdle.

He has his own stance.

"I have to give it a try, right?" he said. "I was an ordinary person before. Now, I am still an ordinary person."

"There's nothing wrong with an ordinary person doing what he wants to do."

“Even if the road is difficult, you should always give it a try.”

"I can't lie to myself, can I?"

He would not be willing to give it a try unless he gave it a try.

Taoist Lan looked at the stubborn Xu Shun and said, "Give it a try, what if it fails?"

"Failed?" Xu Shun said: "Failed, but it's just a matter of fighting through the hardships and starting again!"

"You may be very tired, or even die." Lan Daoren shook his head and said, "You have already felt it, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Shun nodded. After he made up his mind, his magical power surged and he became one with the "god". The tiger roared continuously, as if it wanted to follow his wishes and break out of the cage.

And that feeling of being in water became thicker and heavier.

It is everywhere, and its appearance cannot be seen. It is the "Tao Dragon". It is also the "whole world".

"I" and "the world" are "tiger" and "dragon".

Being a monk is about cultivation, practice, and achieving a balance with the world of cognition.

If you take a wrong step, you might be crushed by "Daolong".

One wrong step and the tiger might lose control and go crazy.

Only by achieving a balance in the struggle between dragons and tigers can the monks continue to move forward.

Xu Shun's arrogance in wanting to change the world, like a misanthropist, stimulated "Daolong" to the greatest extent.

"Daolong" will put a lot of pressure on him, and he will be in much greater danger.

He was only at the Dragon Tiger level 1, and there were nine levels in this realm. He felt so much resistance at just one level, and he couldn't imagine the pressure that would come later.

Taoist Lan said, "Even if I die?"

Xu Shun had already made up his mind and said, "Even if I die, my Taoism will disappear!"

"Didn't Master say that? Birds fly freely because they work hard to make a living. Monks don't have to work hard to make a living, so they should be freer than birds!"

"I came to this world and can cultivate immortality. I don't have to struggle for a living or work hard for others. I can do what I want to do. I am very happy."

"For me, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Taoist Lan looked at Xu Shun who had made up his mind, felt the tiger roars coming from him, and said, "Good!"

He had never seen anyone in the Dragon and Tiger Stage who had the ability to roar like a tiger.

I can only say that the disciple I accepted is not a simple one.

"So what are you going to do?" Lan Dao Ren said, "Kill, kill, kill? Kill to bring peace and order? Kill to bring about a peaceful and prosperous world?"

On Xu Shun's path, he could increase his cultivation just by killing people.

"No, the first thing to do is to recognize the world." Xu Shun shook his head.

Killing is easy, but what happens after that?

The people with problems are gone, but the problems are not solved.

"Huh?" Now it was Lan Daoren's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Xu Shun to give this answer.

Xu Shun said: "The medicine needs to be taken according to the symptoms. Now, I just see that there is something wrong with the world in my eyes."

"So what is this world really like? What's really wrong with it?"

“Is it what I imagined? How can the problem be solved?”

"I still need to look at it and think about it realistically, rather than just jumping in based on my own ideas and past experience."

"That's wrong!"

Without research, you have no right to speak. Mechanical application and empiricism will not work.

A local problem cannot represent the problems of the world, and one method to solve a problem cannot solve all problems.

"I didn't expect you to have such insight!" Taoist Lan nodded.

Now he felt that Xu Shun was either crazy or just went out to kill, shouting that his life was in his own hands, and then he didn't know when he would be killed.

The world of cultivating immortals is also full of hidden talents, especially those who have been banished to the mortal world.

"I am not strong enough now. I should practice while traveling around the world of immortal cultivation, walk more and see more, find like-minded people, and find the root of the problem." Xu Shun said.

His current cultivation level is at the Dragon-Tiger stage, which can only be considered a small fry in the world of immortal cultivation.

You need to have a goal in mind, but you also need to find a way to achieve it instead of just rushing into it.

He saw clearly.

"So, there is something that is very suitable for you to do." said Lan Dao Ren.

"what's up?"

"Qingyun Market is short of a guard, it's perfect for you!"

"Ok?"

　This book will not have the same plot as the previous one. Every time you write a book, there must be something new, right? Otherwise, how can it be considered abstract?
