: Trade-offs

The sword is like a pen, the qi is like ink, and the void is used as silk paper. The old Taoist depicts the body and expression of the fish and dragon in a vivid way, and the slightest bit is revealed. Moreover, the fish and dragon are swimming and living! It seems to have their own spirituality, playing and changing in the void.

Yu Ci was truly amazed at this wonderful swordsmanship.

When Yu Zhou saw him, he smiled: "This sword energy magic is just a little bit of a secret. If you are addicted to this matter, you don't have to practice Taoism anymore!"

The tone was gentle but the meaning was heavy. Yu Ci was so awe-inspiring in her heart that she bowed and said seriously: "Please make it clear to the master."

"I have nothing to say, I just let you see some facts. Just like my Lichen Sect, like the Sun Mansion, like the Wanling Gate, like the tens of thousands of herbicide collectors in the Rift Valley. Of course, there are those demons and ghosts, all of which of these people have separated from the evolution of the "Dao Worm"? You can think about it, but there is no need to have an answer now... The predecessors called "Dao Worm", and the true meaning is in it."

Although he was thinking, Yu Zhou did not give Yu Ci time to think carefully, and personally filled him with a glass of wine. When Yu Ci thanked him, he smiled again: "You are not moved by external things, you only seek the great way of immortality, and not to mention the quality of this idea. I just want to ask you, how do you think about immortality?"

Yu Ci blurted out: "I miss you day and night."

Yu Zhou did not comment, but only stroked his beard and said, "After thinking about it day and night?"

"Practice it."

"I can't do it?"

"See it!"

"Where can I ask?"

Yu Ci thought for a while and said, "Of course I asked the viewer for help."

Yu Zhou laughed when he heard this: "If I can live forever, how can I end up old? I will die in this view? You are asking Yu Blind!"

Yu Ci remained silent, only to feel that although the old Taoist laughed boldly, there were some confusions in the middle. I guess he remembered the sad things, which was his sin.

After laughing, the old Taoist suddenly asked him again: "Can you know the difficulty of immortality?"

Yu Ci recalled her own experience and said calmly: "I know a little bit."

The old Taoist pointed at him with his fingers. The expression on the ichthy and dragon that evolved through the sword energy looked increasingly confused: "The difficulty of immortality is unforgettable to me!"

"Looking back then, I traveled thousands of mountains and rivers with my first wife, looking for immortals and paths, and went through hardships and hardships, but did not retreat, but only sought immortality. I claimed that my heart was as solid as a rock and I dare not deceive the wind and rain. Later, I became acquainted with my master, and my wife was able to worship Lichen Sect and obtain the immortal alchemy method. I thought the immortal road was already under my feet. However, three hundred years have passed, and the immortal road was long before. Only then did I know that all the obstacles back then were just a cup of water in front of the real disaster. I thought that the mudflat was ridiculous and pitiful."

Three hundred years... This is the first time that the old Taoist has personally confirmed his age. For Yu Ci, it is really difficult to let him, a junior who is less than 30 years old, imagine a long life ten times his age. Therefore, he could only continue to remain silent.

But he kept looking at the old Taoist's face, and inexplicably thought of the two "old masters" of Zi Lei and Chi Yin. When he was young, he never understood why the two were already Huandan monks, who had mastered a country of thousands of miles and had a long youth, so why did they use human lives to fill their desire for immortality so urgently... A few years ago, he thought he understood it out of a sense of urgency. But now, he has realized another level:

Actually, that’s fear! Three hundred years have passed, but I stopped on the road to immortality, watching the end of my life. Yu Ci doesn’t want to try this experience no matter what!

The old Taoist didn't care about his thoughts. He had been nourishing his energy for more than 300 years, but even though he had some confusion, he would not show it for too long. He turned to laugh:

"I have been practicing for three hundred years and have not made any progress in the elixir. In addition, I also understand the difficulty of immortality. It is not before the teaching of the Dharma. After the teaching of the Dharma, I am just a person seeking the Tao in the world. There are ten thousand people who can't even pass the "Transmission of the Dharma". It is a pity. Therefore, over the years, I have used the benefits of hosting the Shixin View to make many conveniences for others and recruiting disciples for the sect. Moreover, I just give you a chance. Whether it can be successful depends on your efforts and luck!"

The word "creation" has a long and endless emotion, but that is not something Yu Ci can delve into.

He just understood what he should do, so he stood up and solemnly bowed to the old Taoist: "The master of the Guan was working hard, and the disciple understood."

At this time, he naturally changed his name. Yu Zhou was very satisfied, but he didn't be too serious with him. He just raised his glass and smiled: "I set up a ladder for you, and you climbed up. Now you have truly embarked on the road of immortality. From then on, the difficulties and obstacles are different from the past. You must be prepared!"

Yu Ci raised his glass, and drank another cup of hot wine, and responded in a deep voice: "Disciples know everything."

The meaning of the words is deep and has a deep meaning. After Yu Ci came out of the Double Immortal Sect, he wandered around like a rootless duckweed. Now he is re-establishing his roots, and he feels in his heart that he can not summarize it in just a few words.

After he took his seat again, he filled the wine cup and drank it all in one go. The warm feeling of wine filled his whole body. At this time, the same seat had a completely different feeling for him. Some words were unspeakable before, but now they can be said:

"Master of the Confucianism, you just said that you would not ask for immortality, but where did you ask your disciples to go?"

Yu Zhou grinned and said, "How can I teach you immortality when I ended up like this? Therefore, what I said before was not my ability, but my ability to find the success of those fellow seniors in the mountain gate. I will tell you. You are considered an outdoor disciple at this time, and you can only draw a picture of the cat and tiger. When the opportunity comes in the future, you will then seek the true explanation of immortality from the mouths of those immortals. Only then will you find the right way."

Yu Ci felt uncomfortable in her heart, not that she said the old Taoist words but that she was too heavy in her words. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the old Taoist words were not as frank as before, as if she was bored in it.

Yu Zhou didn't care about him, but after drinking a few cups of wine, he was so excited:

"Let's talk about this 'Taoworm'. There are thousands of people who practice Taoism in the world, and there are very few who can live forever. Is it like this fish and dragon lineage, from shrimps, ystool grass, and then to fish and dragons, pick one in a thousand miles, select one in a thousand miles, and screen them layer by layer, and even achieve enlightenment?"

Yu Ci pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Seeing the Master."

"Um?"

"Isn't this the 'Taoworm' that the 'Taoworm' mentioned by the sage? I am not a hypocritical person, and I have done anything that kills and kills life on weekdays. I am not afraid that the sage will laugh at me. I don't have to say anything with others, draw a sword to kill people, killing ten or eight. But if I treat the same kind of people alone as grass, harvest the vitality and steal the vitality to make myself rich, I can't do such things."

When he was speaking, he thought of the two "old masters" of Zi Lei and Chi Yin. These two monks Huandan whom he still has to look up to now. Isn't it just as the old Taoist said that he harmed his kind and set up a ladder for his own path to immortality?

As a victim, Yu Ci has never had the intention to imitate. At least, there is no one now!

Yu Zhou laughed: "You don't have to express your feelings to me, you have also thought of the great Taoist immortality too simply... Can you read the Yin Fu Jing?"

Yu Ci shook her head frankly.

Yu Zhou smiled and pointed at him: "You must use your attention in the future. There is a saying in this scripture, "Heaven and earth are the thieves of all things; all things are the thieves of people; people are the thieves of all things." How can this be explained?"

Yu Ci still shook her head.

The old Taoist did not explain directly, but just patted the stone box at hand and said, "A fish and dragon have two thousand five hundred merits. What do you think of the sect's merit trading method?"

This time, Yu Ci stopped shaking his head, but frowned and said, "The merchants are very angry."

After a pause, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still said: "It's not the same as the sect I imagined."

The old Taoist smiled and said, "Young people say this very wonderfully. What you imagine... Unfortunately, the great way of immortality cannot be imagined, and there is only one way to practice. How can the difficulty of immortality be understood thoroughly without practice?

"You must know that immortality is the most illusory thing, but seeking immortality is the most realistic thing. With your current cultivation level, if you only think about eating wind, drinking dew, and purifying your body and fasting, you will starve to death. After all, you will inevitably have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Look at the senior immortal masters in the mountain gate who transformed into rainbows and clouds and traveled through Taixu. Back then, they all went from a rough and vertical to floating weapon, and then to flying in the sky, and then gradually improved, and they were able to reach the current realm.

"Even if they have the current realm and get out of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, their disciples still have to go inside. They have never said that the master has taught the Dharma and the disciples are expected to live forever... Do you think the old Taoist is talking about some cliches?"

Yu Ci was silent. Without waiting for his defense, the old Taoist smiled and said, "This imagination and practice are even more complicated. Even the list of good deeds has a different meaning. Now there is a simpler question. Don't imagine, please answer me: Can shrimp, whisker, ichthagorean grass, trade between them?"

Yu Ci could only shake her head again.

"That's it. The fish and dragon lineage steal the vitality of the same kind to feed themselves through induction traffic. But this is the only way for them to grow by absorbing nutrients. But for us, if we want to absorb nutrients, the choice is much more advanced and more complicated.

"Why do you have to take someone else's life? Isn't it okay as long as the magic weapon on him? Let's take a step back, isn't it good to exchange with each other? Isn't this what the merit transactions of the sect do?

"By generalization, any kind of communication between people is an opportunity to obtain nutrients, but some people get more and some people get less. Some people know what they need and exchange it with a goal, while others are confused and waste opportunities in vain.

"For example: when a person walks in the way, he sees a beauty with silk, jewels and precious energy, and has several practice books. At this time, it is natural for lust to bring the beauty to come back; it is reasonable for those who love money to get their jewelry; and it is human nature for us who practice to take their books, but if we still have to admire money and lust, we even forget the scriptures... What does immortality have to do with these people?"

Yu Ci laughed when she heard this, but the old Taoist did not laugh.
