This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 94 Asking for the Cliff

At this moment, Zhuang Lin entered a state of enlightenment. He stood there with his eyes slightly closed, and a special feeling emanated from him.

The cold, the heat, the numbness, the heaviness, the clarity...it all evokes an indescribable sense of awe in people.

The craftsmen and students around him all stared at Zhuang Lin blankly for a moment, including the student who shouted out in anxiety.

"Husband."

The student was about to speak again, but before he could utter a word, Liu Hongyu flashed in front of him and covered his mouth.

"shush"

Liu Hongyu looked serious, made a few gestures, opened his mouth and lowered his voice.

"Walk or go"

Not to mention the students, even these old masters now understand something and vaguely understand the special situation at this moment. Of course, they also know what Liu Hongyu means.

No one even dared to move the tables and mats around them. They either tiptoed or bent over as they carefully left the classroom.

Soon, Zhuang Lin was the only one left in the school.

When Liu Hongyu got outside, he put his hand on his chest and chanted to activate the forbidden formation on the seal.

The next moment, faint rays of light rose around the school. When the light disappeared, the scene of the school and the teacher over there suddenly became blurred.
"Phew, now you can talk!"

As soon as Liu Hongyu opened his mouth, the students and masters around him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Liu, is Mr. Zi'an gaining enlightenment?"

"That should be it. Don't disturb him."

"Then what should we do? We haven't got the formation diagram back yet!" "There's no need to rush for the formation diagram, we've already copied it."

"What about us? No school today?"

"How can I get in?" "But my stuff isn't even in there yet!"

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Just wait."

Amidst a flurry of discussion, the crowd finally dispersed, the craftsmen went back to their respective homes, and the children also returned home temporarily.

Liu Hongyu left only after confirming again and again that there were no problems around the school.

The next day, the children came to school, but there was no movement at the cram school.

After the third day, the fourth day, it will be one month, two months, and three months.
Winter passed and spring came. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and the school was just like that morning, with no movement at all.

Life in the valley continued as usual, and the craftsmen's own research did not stop, and they even gradually figured out some relatively stable structures of the instruments.

Although no one had yet to receive a reply from Master Zhuang, everyone had heard what the student said that day, and some people could get a sense of what was going on.

In order not to disturb Zhuang Lin, the students' classes were temporarily moved to the clinic, with one day of study and one day of rest. Liu Hongyu and Mr. Mu respectively acted as teachers.

However, every day, there would be people going to the school to take a look, hoping to see Zhuang Lin coming out.

That day, Tang Bin was carrying a small wooden bucket and walking past the school with Grandpa Mu. There were a few children helping them. They were going to the peach forest where peach blossoms were in full bloom to pick some peach blossoms and collect some peach gum, which can also be used as medicine.

Grandpa Mu is also actively researching pharmacology. Now that he has such good conditions, he also wants to research some miraculous medicines. After all, he is a pharmacist in this blessed land.

If it weren't for the lack of something like an alchemy furnace, Grandpa Mu would even want to try his hand at alchemy.

When passing by the school, everyone, young and old, couldn't help but look over there, but all they saw was a blurry building, like a mirage.

"Alas, I don't know if the master is okay. My martial arts have improved a lot recently, and I would like to ask him to take a look."

Xiao Wen said this somewhat dejectedly, and Mr. Mu on the side laughed out loud, with a bit of joking and sourness in his voice.

"Hahahahahaha. How could anything happen to Mr. Zi'an? If anything happened, it would have been your grandfather who got in trouble first!"

"Ah? Grandpa, what happened to you? You seem to be getting better and better."

Xiaowen looked at the old man and said this.

"That's right, Grandpa Mu is in good health!" "Yes, yes, Grandpa Mu is getting younger and younger!"

"You should still be concerned about the Master. It's been a long time. Isn't he hungry? It's so uncomfortable to be hungry."

The second sister and younger brother of the Wang family who were traveling with them echoed the words, especially the youngest child. Hearing what he said, Mr. Mu laughed heartily again and reached out to rub the boy from the Wang family.

"how could be!"

As he spoke, Mr. Mu stopped and looked towards the school, and the others also stopped subconsciously.

"When I was a child, I heard stories from my elders about an immortal playing a game of chess. Sixty years in this world might seem like a long time to a mortal, but to an immortal, enlightenment might only take a moment."

As he spoke, Grandpa Mu looked down at his grandson and several children.

"Mr. Zi'an is a hermit. He's been here for a thousand years, waiting for Master Liu. Grandpa would die of old age in the time it takes him to take a nap. What do you think?"

Mr. Mu then joked.

"Who knows? This time we may have to wait for decades for Mr. Zi'an to come out. I'm afraid Grandpa won't be able to wait. Only you little guys are young enough to wait!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongwen and the Wang siblings were either panicked or surprised, with their eyes wide open and their mouths open.

Tang Bin on the side was also panicked.

"Ah? Really? If not, how can I wait like that? I won't die of old age, will I?"

Old Master Mu glanced at Tang Bin unhappily and said, “I was just joking with the kid. Why are you taking it so seriously, you young fool?”
But if you think about it carefully, what you said is not impossible.

"Who knows? Even if I can't wait, so what? At my age, it's not easy to have new pursuits. Being here now is enough. The so-called cultivation is a matter of fate. I only know that living in the present moment, being content and happy, is the destination. This is also the Tao."

At the school, even though there was a formation blocking the way, Zhuang Lin, who was standing in the center of the school, seemed to be able to sense Mr. Mu's mood at the moment, and his eyes, which had been closed for half a year, slowly opened.

"It's good to have this moment. Peace of mind is the home." As if he was a little absent-minded in thinking and just came back to his senses, Zhuang Lin looked down and saw the formation diagrams scattered at his feet and the tables around him were slightly dusty. It was obvious that quite a while had passed.

Looking at the periphery, the formation has isolated the school to a certain extent. Without asking, one knows that it must have been created by Liu Hongyu.

Just as he thought about it, a circular breeze rose from under Zhuang Lin's feet and continued to spread outwards.

The dust on the surrounding papers, books, brushes, desks, etc. also rose up and flew outwards with the wind.

Just a moment later, a breeze blew dust out of the house, and the blurry feeling of the school disappeared in an instant.
At the Huogu Ironware Workshop, Liu Hongyu, the owner of a magic sword, was studying the artifact with Grandpa Qiao, and the two came up with a new idea.

If you can't become fat in one breath, then build on the experience of the last success and use the spiritual power of the spirit sword to get a feel for it, and it seems to be quite effective.

At this moment, a sword blank has been forged. Some mysterious patterns are engraved on the sword body, and it has a faint red light. There is no sign of breaking or cracking.

When the sword was placed on an iron stand with complex patterns carved on it, the red light on the sword seemed to become more obvious.

The surrounding apprentices also gathered around, all looking at the sword on the platform curiously.

"It seems like it's done?"

"seems like it!"

At this moment, Liu Hongyu suddenly had an idea, and then looked in the direction of Tuyue Valley in surprise.

"Grandpa Qiao, Master has come out of seclusion. I'm going over there first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongyu rushed out of the forging shed. As soon as he got outside, he jumped up. A gust of wind came out from under his feet and carried him directly to the Tuyue Valley.

Seeing this scene, people around were envious, but then they reacted.

"Master Zhuang has emerged from confinement!" "Mr. Zi'an has emerged!"

"Hey, you guys take good care of this sword. I want to go take a look too!"

Old Master Qiao also rushed out, and after him, the oldest apprentice looked to the side.

"Just keep an eye on this sword. I'll go with Master to take a look!"

After saying that, the apprentice also rushed out, and then someone else shouted the same words and rushed out first.

In the end, there was only one person left in the iron workshop. He looked around and found that there was no one to help watch over the place, so he sighed and sat down.

At the school, as the dust settled, the door of the school opened automatically, and Zhuang Lin walked out. He looked to the side and saw someone flying in the sky. It was Liu Hongyu.

"Master, are you out of seclusion?"

"Out of customs? I guess so."

Zhuang Lin smiled. This could be considered as a retreat. If it was just for thinking for a while, it would be too long.

What he gained from enlightenment was the Yin-Yang Five Elements Seven Meridians Tiangang Formation, but it was not yet fully developed and needed to be truly recorded later. But now Zhuang Lin felt that he should wake up.

The words that Mr. Mu said when he left just now also had a great impact on Zhuang Lin. The way of immortality is that everyone has their own destiny, and it is impossible for him to do everything.

Zhuang Lin counted on his fingers and realized that several months had passed.

“How many people have shown obvious spirituality?”

When Liu Hongyu heard Zhuang Lin's question, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's much better now. There are actually many of us among my classmates, which is enough. If you add the elders outside, there are probably more than a dozen!"

Having said that, Liu Hongyu thought for a moment and said again.

"But Master, do you want to teach everyone one by one? I have made some progress during this period!"

I didn't use the power of the cave formation just now when I was controlling the wind. Please praise me!
The corners of Liu Hongyu's mouth rose unconsciously, but it seemed that his master didn't notice it.

Zhuang Lin smiled and shook his head.

"So-called cultivation is the law of fate for each individual. If one can awaken his spirit and attain enlightenment, he can naturally read the immortal scriptures. I only need to help others solve their doubts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Lin's feet started to move, and he flew up into the air, flying away in an instant. A red light also flew out from the private school room and headed straight for Zhuang Lin. It was the wooden sword Chi Xuan.

Liu Hongyu was a step slower and also chose to ride the wind to catch up.

The breeze produced a faint green glow under the sunlight, like two streams of light starting from the school and flying to a mountain outside.

"Rumble, rumble."

A sense of vibration could be felt throughout the valley, and the mountain that Zhuang Lin flew to was actually moving towards this side.

The people in the valley felt the vibration, and many of them came out to look around. They found that in the northwest, they actually saw a cliff. It was a mountain that had moved over!

Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu arrived in front of the mountain one after another. The side of the mountain facing the Tuyue Valley was a huge cliff that looked like it was cut by an axe.

Zhuang Lin held the Chixuan sword in his hand, contemplated for a moment, then swung the sword towards the cliff.

In an instant, the sword light flowed and the sword energy was everywhere, and there was a strong sword intent and a divine intent that transcended the sword intent itself.
Liu Hongyu was so frightened that he subconsciously stepped back a long way, as if getting any closer would make him feel suffocated. While watching him in astonishment, Zhuang Lin was writing an article with a sword as his pen.

"The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious. My Tao observes the changes of heaven and earth and all things, and understands the changes of the heart. Understanding the changes of the heart is to understand the changes of the Tao. The heart moves and the spirit shakes. When the heart dies and the spirit lives, the Tao is born."

What Zhuang Lin wrote was none other than "The Secret of Asking for the Way", but it was no longer the original fragment that initiated the Dharma lineage, but the completed "The Secret of Asking for the Way" based on what he thought in his mind.

Perhaps because it was built under the Chixuan Sword, the red light danced, and the words on the cliff were also red.
Zhuang Lin not only had the thought of completing the article in his mind, but also the various feelings he had in the Dharma lineage at the time, which also aroused his own righteousness!
The last sword fell, and the thunderbolt sword light fell straight to the bottom of the cliff. An article occupying most of the area of the cliff has been completed.

Every word is as sharp as a sword and as precious as a pearl. It contains an incomparable aura of Taoism and a righteous spirit as majestic as the power of heaven, and even implies a terrifying murderous intent.

These kinds of energy seem contradictory, yet so harmonious!
Zhuang Lin held the Chixuan in his hand, turned towards the Hidden Immortal Valley with the wind, and uttered a mighty voice.

"This is the cliff where I ask for the Tao. Carved on it is the meaning of the first chapter of my immortal canon, which is the 'Secrets of the Tao'. Those who gain enlightenment and gain from it can read the immortal canon and practice cultivation. However, those with evil thoughts should be cautious when observing it."

The voice spread throughout the entire paradise. What Zhuang Lin said was not just to humans!
Taking another look at the cliff beside him, Zhuang Lin thought that this was both a way to seek the truth and a test of his initial aspirations. Only in this way could the cave heaven look like a holy land of immortals!
