Chapter 276 The Meaning of Living
Qingyun Sect is located in the southeast of Lei Tian Realm. Here, there are clusters of mountains and peaks surrounding it to form a natural barrier. On the outside of the peaks, this is the place where the disciples of Qingyun Sect live.
In a small courtyard at the foot of one of the mountains, an old man in a gray robe sat cross-legged in the courtyard and meditated quietly. The old man was covered in gray hair, his hair fell on his shoulders like weeds, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body looked hunched. This old man was Lie Teng.
"I will never die"
"The soul is the spirit of all things in the world. But, what is the soul path?"
"Chaos lead to all things, all things have spirits, and there is spirits," Lie Teng recalled the mantras of "Soul Refining" and carefully pondered this sentence.
"According to what the Soul Refining Way says, chaos has spawned all things, but all things have spirits. Is the soul derived from chaos? Is it that the soul has reached the extreme, chaos is immortal, and my soul is immortal?" Lie Teng's thoughts slowly adjusted. He was a little enlightened at this time. This disaster made him find the mystery of the soul by chance. Although he had just touched it, it laid the foundation for Lie Teng's path to the soul, so Lie Teng would naturally not miss this opportunity.
"But what is chaos?" Lie Teng fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he remembered the Dao Song again.
"How is the great way? 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 lead to chaos, chaos gives birth to the great way. What is Tao? Countless creatures are Tao, Tao is Tao, there is no way. I say this is Tao, this is Tao, this is Tao, the great way is invisible, the great way is natural, it is Tao."
In the past, I only thought that "The Song of the Great Dao" was a magic trick. In Fengdu, Lie Teng increasingly wanted to understand something from the Song of the Great Dao, but it was useless at all. But at this time, Lie Teng discovered the mystery in the Song of the Great Dao.
"Chaos give birth to the great way? Is chaos the great way the great way? And what is the relationship between the great way and the Tao before? The great way is invisible, and the great way is natural, it is Tao? Is it that the Tao is the great way? Is the great way the great way? " Such an understanding is a bit complicated, and the mentality must reach a very deep level in order to think about it without being fast or slow. In this disaster, Lie Teng also improved his state of mind, especially at this time, his cultivation was almost completely lost, which made him abandon other distracting thoughts and devote himself to enlightenment.
Lie Teng found that Tao is extremely profound and difficult to understand, and the whole world is filled with the mystery of Tao. As the song of Tao says, countless creatures are Tao.
Just as Lie Teng understood, a cheer sounded, and the sound filled the surroundings: "Grandpa, Xiao Feng is back." Feng Qingyun, who was headed and brainy, ran over with joy on his face.
Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes, and said nothing, but just stared at Feng Qingyun with a warm smile.
"Grandpa, guess what Xiaofeng has brought to you? If you guess, Xiaofeng will give it to grandpa." Feng Qingyun put his hands behind his back and looked at Lie Teng as if mysterious.
Lie Teng smiled gently and said slowly: "Xiao Feng, these fruits are useless to grandpa, you can eat them yourself."
Not only was Xiao Feng not unhappy, he looked at Lie Teng in surprise and said, "Grandpa, you must be a cultivator, otherwise how could you see what is behind Xiao Feng? Dad said, is this called spiritual consciousness right? But Xiao Feng has not even cultivated spiritual power now."
"Xiao Feng, the emphasis on practice is to persevere. You must firmly adhere to your own path. One day you will cultivate spiritual power." Lie Teng said calmly.
"Is that so? Dad said so, but Xiaofeng is already six years old and will participate in the sect's assessment in two years. Xiaofeng wants to participate in the assessment and become a formal disciple of Qingyun Sect. Xiaoxuan has cultivated spiritual power yesterday." Xiaofeng pouted and his emotions became depressed.
Feng Qingyun's father Feng Lin is an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect. He is usually responsible for cleaning Qingyun Sect. He does not spend much time with Feng Qingyun. In Qingyun Sect, there are many peripheral disciples and the treatment is not high. However, their descendants have the opportunity to become formal disciples of Qingyun Sect. All the spirit stones that many peripheral disciples work hard for their descendants are for their descendants, just like Feng Lin. His cultivation has reached the level of gathering spirits, but he is willing to clean up Qingyun Sect. It can be seen how much he has paid for Feng Qingyun.
"Xiao Feng, do you know how long the road of cultivation is? If you can't even cross the country with the first step, then you should be honest and ordinary person." Lie Teng said with a serious expression.
Looking up at the serious Lie Teng, Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Lie Teng showed such a serious expression. Xiaofeng lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Grandpa, Xiaofeng will not give up on cultivation. Xiaofeng wants to fight for his father. It must be." Xiaofeng said with his fists tightly clenched. After that, Xiaofeng turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
Lie Teng watched Xiao Feng leave and continued to understand.
In a blink of an eye, it was Lie Teng's tenth year in Qingyun Sect. Lie Teng has been isolated from the outside world. The only one who accompanies Lie Teng is Xiao Feng.
Ten years ago, Xiaofeng did not enter the Qingyun Sect. After the assessment eight years ago, Xiaofeng still did not cultivate spiritual power. It was not until five years ago that he vaguely cultivated spiritual power. Xiaofeng was once desperate, even his father Fenglin was like this.
"Grandpa, Xiao Feng brought the roast duck and the fire spirit duck from Qingshan City." A young man in a six-foot tall cloth linen was smiling and walked towards the old man sitting cross-legged in the yard with a paper bag in his hand.
Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Feng, and showed a smile. Xiao Feng failed to become a formal disciple of Qingyun Sect, so he could only follow his father Fenglin to become an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect. At this time, he was responsible for purchasing some daily uses of Qingyun Sect disciples. Every time he went out, Xiao Feng did not forget to bring food to Lie Teng.
Before he handed the fire spirit duck to Lie Teng, a shout came from the voice of shouting: "Feng Qingyun, it has delayed the cultivation of the senior brothers. Even if your family cannot afford it, it will not be able to take it." Feng Qingyun's grandfather is also an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect. Qingyun's father and Qingyun are both peripheral disciples. This has spread among the peripheral disciples, and even many peripheral disciples look down on Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingyun's face changed. After smiling bitterly at Lie Teng, he ran away. Although he had not yet reached the level of gathering spirits, his body was extremely agile.
After Lie Teng slowly ate Feng Qingyun's Fire Spirit Duck, he looked ahead and pondered for a moment, and then continued to enter the soul comprehension path.
Thirty Year.
Thirty years are a long time for mortals and low-level practitioners.
At this time, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged in front of Lie Teng. The middle-aged man was Feng Qingyun. Thirty years were a long time for Feng Qingyun. He still had not reached the spiritual gathering stage. He had been staying at the sixth level of spirit creation for too long, which made him forget that he was a cultivator.
"Grandpa, try this. This is what I asked Ping'er to bring from Qianlong City. I heard it was the Water Spirit Duck. I don't understand the Fire Spirit Duck and the Water Spirit Duck. Look at it. If it is delicious, let Ping'er bring more in the future." Feng Qingyun said slowly. Ping'er in his mouth was also an external disciple of Qingyun Sect. Both of them had no hope of becoming official disciples of Qingyun Sect, and they have been in love until now.
Feng Qingyun no longer had the passion of his youth, and his whole body became much more calm. At this time, he no longer had the delusion of becoming a disciple of Qingyun Sect, but instead transferred his hope to the next generation like Fenglin in the past.
Lie Teng's appearance did not change at all, his head was covered in messy hair. He quietly tasted Feng Qingyun's feelings. Looking at Feng Qingyun, Lie Teng slowly said: "Xiao Feng, you still have sixty years of life, and you can still strive for a breakthrough."
Feng Qingyun was stunned. After taking a sip of wine, he said bitterly: "Grandpa, you have been saying this for decades, and Xiaofeng has been practicing unremittingly, but over the years, Xiaofeng has seen through it. Cultivation requires attention to opportunities and fate. Perhaps, becoming an external disciple is my Feng Qingyun's life."
"Fate? Xiaofeng, when you think your life is to become an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, then this is your life, but when you think your life will become a peerless strong man, your life is a peerless strong man." Lie Teng said slowly. It would be fake to have been together for thirty years and say that Lie Teng has no feelings for Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingyun did not answer, but looked at the wine in the glass. After a long time, he drank it all, and the hot wine made him open his mouth. After a while, Feng Qingyun said, "Hehe, grandpa, Xiao Feng thought so at the beginning. The three generations of my Feng family were all outer disciples of Qingyun Sect. At that time, I thought I could become a formal disciple of Qingyun Sect and fight for my Feng family. But for thirty years, Xiao Xuan, the former one, has been the best among the formal disciples of Qingyun Sect, and where is my Feng Qingyun? It's just an errand."
"It is so important to become a formal disciple of Qingyun Sect? Your vision is too short. The Lei Tian Realm is so big. Qingyun Sect is just a small sect." Lie Teng's eyes flashed and he said slowly.
"Yes, the Thunder Heaven Realm is so big, but there is no place where I, Feng Qingyun." Feng Qingyun was already a little drunk, his face was red and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this time, outside the courtyard, there was a figure standing there, without moving. He was Feng Qingyun's father Feng Lin. At this time, he was a little old and a little hunched. His cultivation was at the first level of spirit gathering without any breakthrough. His expression was a little painful. He was not like Feng Qingyun in the past? He was in his prime and had a sense of impetus? But in the end, he was still just an outer disciple, and the primary condition for becoming a formal disciple was to reach the fourth level of spirit gathering. However, Feng Lin knew that he had no hope in his life. It was already satisfying to reach the spirit gathering stage. He placed his hope on Feng Qingyun, but the result was not satisfactory.
"Is that true? For the past thirty years, you have been running back and forth between Qingyun Sect and Qingshan City. How do you know that there is no place for you to be in the Leitian Realm?" Lie Teng looked up at Feng Qingyun, raised his voice and said in a deep voice.
"..." Feng Qingyun was speechless. After his face changed a little, he sighed and said slowly: "Grandpa, Ping'er is pregnant, and Xiao Feng is no longer young." After that, Feng Qingyun picked up the wine glass, stood up, turned around and left...
