The word says: "
The world is wandering in one night, and there is no basis for fate to gather and disperse. There is resentment in the floating clouds, and the cold moon once said that it will turn into ice and clear?
Qingxu Valley, halfway up the mountain pavilion. How could we ever return home after meeting each other? This heart was removed for examination in front of the court, and no one saw the wind and dust, only you. "
In the thatched cottage, Qingyangzi shouted back both sides before stopping the fight.
Han Dansou said anxiously: "Qingyangzi, we must not let Weiran leave!"
Qingyangzi sighed and said: "There is a destiny in the dark. Even if it is you and me, we can't force it."
"Qingyangzi!"
Cang Zhigong closed his eyes and let out a long breath, then removed his power and let go of Wei Ran.
Then, a strong wind passed by, and the wind-riding Qilin beast ran to the hall, looking at Weiran with a worried look on his face.
The two of them grew up together and have a deep relationship. A few days ago, Qilin was unhappy because Weiran stayed with Bu Feiyan all day long, and spent a lot of time alone in sadness.
Wei Ran held the Chifeng Qilin Beast's forehead to reassure him.
"You all come with me!"
Qingyangzi leaned on crutches and walked towards the back hall. Han Dansou and Cang Zhigong followed behind with gloomy expressions.
Ye Ling and others looked at each other, then calmed down and left.
Bypassing the back hall, you can lead to the depths of the valley. Not far from here, you can see three tall plants: willow, cypress, and maple.
The finished characters of three trees stand, with a faint halo and wisps of Taoist rhyme. The old plant has a thick trunk, green branches and luxuriant leaves. It has experienced spring and autumn and has lived through the years.
Qingyangzi stood under the tree, turned around and said: "As you can see, this is the true form of me and the other three. That day you asked me and the three of them why they have ten thousand years of life, and I can tell you today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three elders Qingyangzi, Cangzhigong and Handansou faced the old tree, and each of them sent out a Tao power from their palms, and the Tao power gathered in the middle of the three ancient trees.
Not long after, a ripple of chaos rippled from the ground, and then a faint green light appeared, and a group of green aura slowly rose up and announced in the mid-air.
Just when the green air mass appeared, the power of nature spread far and wide. The surrounding green grass was green, and the flowers were blooming. Thousands of little creatures in the valley also realized it and rushed here one after another.
When Bai Wuyu and others who were playing by the river saw it, they quickly followed them to the thatched cottage.
Xu Hong looked at it carefully for a long time and exclaimed: "Is this the innate wood energy?"
"Yes," Qingyangzi nodded: "It is the innate wood energy!"
Ye Ling frowned and asked, "What is innate wood energy?"
Xu Hong explained: "At the beginning of chaos, the heaven and the earth were not yet opened. The Tao evolved and merged into one. There were two in one life, yin and yang, and the five elements were interdependent. The energy of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared before the heaven and the earth. , derived from Hongmeng, hence the name 'Innate Qi of the Five Elements'. Could it be..."
Xu Hong's eyes widened and he looked at Wei Ran, as if he had guessed something.
Cang Zhigong nodded and said: "Wei Ran is the spirit evolved from the innate wood energy!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Wei Ran. No wonder Wei Ran could mobilize the power of nature to derive vegetation and creatures, but it turned out to be the body of innate wood energy!
Qingyangzi said: "Back then, a great human being, who was in the realm of Hedao, traveled around the world. By chance, he got this ball of innate wood energy. Then, he opened up this small world and used it to build the innate wood energy. Qi is the foundation, and only then can there be these millions of living beings.”
Han Dansou sighed and said, "This is how the three old people can enjoy these ten thousand years of life without dying."
"snort--"
Bu Feiyun snorted coldly and said: "That's why you stopped Wei Ran from leaving. To put it bluntly, you are just waiting to continue to enjoy endless years and imprison Wei Ran forever!"
"Brother Bu, be careful!" Xu Hong hurriedly stopped him: "Do you know what it means to refine the innate wood energy?"
Bu Feiyun frowned when he heard this: "I'm all ears!"
Before Xu Hong could reply, Cang Zhigong said coldly: "The innate wood energy is one of the five elements. If it can be refined, it can be cultivated into Hedao, and there is a chance of breaking through the world and ascending!"
Qingyangzi sighed and looked at Weiran with a moved expression on his face: "Weiran, it has only been a thousand years since you were born. We have taught you how to understand Tao and practice, and helped you advance and improve. How have we ever thought of harming you? If I don't tell you my life experience, Just to protect you!"
"You were born with a pure heart and have never experienced the world. If you rashly go to the outside world and are coveted by someone with intentions, it will be too late to regret it!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Ran again, and Wei Ran remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he turned and left: "I want to be alone for a while." He walked toward the mountains with only Chifeng Qilin by his side.
Bu Feiyan looked at Wei Ran's retreating figure, his heart filled with self-blame: "Wei Ran..."
Xu Hong and Ye Ling looked at each other, then shrugged and said, "This junior is so rude, please forgive me the three seniors!"
Cangzhigong and Han Dansou said nothing. Qingyangzi stroked his beard and sighed: "I have expected this day for a long time, but when it does come, people will always be caught off guard. This matter has nothing to do with you, please forgive me. Leave it for a few days until Wei Ran thinks about it."
…
The night is as cool as water, in the pavilion halfway up the mountain -
Bu Feiyan said to Bu Feiyun: "Xiaoyun, let's leave now!"
"Oh?" Bu Feiyun turned to look at Bu Feiyan: "Aren't you waiting for Weiran?"
Bu Feiyan shook his head and whispered: "I have figured out that it is best for him to stay here. He should not be put in danger because of me."
"But... this may be the end of this life!"
"Stop talking!" Bu Feiyan held back his tears and held on to his last strength...
…
By the stream, Bai Wuyu and others were already sound asleep. These days, they followed a group of little creatures to travel around the mountains and rivers. They did not practice any practice, but they were happy every day and had good dreams at night.
Xu Hong and Ye Ling sat across from each other and drank from the altar.
Not long after, Cong Zhongxiao woke up from his sleep, smelled the smell of wine and came forward to ask for a drink.
Xu Hong had a sad face and asked Cong Zhongxiao, "Senior, did I do something wrong today?"
Cong Zhongxiao hugged the wine jar and said with a smile: "Although the truth is worth pursuing, lies make people more comfortable. It is rare to be confused when you are alive!"
Xu Hong remained silent, but Ye Ling retorted: "Lies certainly make people feel comfortable, but while we are alive, we are always pursuing the truth. If we don't pursue the truth, how can we lie?"
Cong Zhong smiled and said nothing, raised the altar and took a sip, looking at the sky and said: "What a beautiful moonlight!"
…
On a branch in the mountain, Wei Ran leaned on the branch and looked at the bright moon in the sky. On the branch on the side, the wind-riding unicorn is lying on its back with its eyes closed, as if waking up from sleep.
Not long after, a breeze blew slowly, carrying the scent of vegetation.
Chifeng Qilin raised its head slightly, then spun down again.
When the wind blew over, Qingyangzi's figure appeared next to Weiran.
"Elder..."
As soon as Wei Ran's words came out of his mouth, Qingyangzi waved his hand and said, "I'm here now not to persuade you, but to tell you a story."
"Do you still remember the great human being I talked about during the day? He opened up this world, and then put the innate wood energy into this place, giving birth to flowers, plants and trees, a life force."
"This senior felt lonely, so he went out to travel around again, and brought back a spirit beast egg and a weeping willow tree by the river. That egg is the wind-riding unicorn, and the weeping willow tree is me!"
Qingyangzi said this with a smile on his face, and continued: "I was nourished by the innate wood energy, and was born with spiritual wisdom. I transformed into a boy to accompany my predecessors, reading scriptures and enlightening the Tao every day. I am truly out of this world."
"It's a pity that life is over. Senior can't break through the last shackles and is about to die. At this moment, I think of you. When senior got the innate wood energy, it was to use it to one day enter the fairyland and break through the world and ascend."
"But after all, I didn't refine this ball of innate wood energy. Do you know why?"
Wei Ran shook his head, and Qingyangzi continued: "Because just when the senior held you in the palm of his hand, a cypress tree in the courtyard gave birth to a little creature. It was because of this creature that the senior suddenly had an epiphany and no longer persisted. Yu Changsheng no longer has any intention of refining you."
"When my senior was dying, he had something to say to me: 'Cultivation of immortality and Taoism, taking over the creation of heaven and earth, does not harm the fate of all beings with virtue. How about immortality? How about the great road? Just having peace of mind is enough!" After saying this, senior was stunned. Then he transformed into a Tao and returned to this world."
Qingyangzi raised his hand as if to catch the falling moonlight: "Wei Ran, remember the words of your senior, it is enough to be at ease with yourself!"
After saying this, the breeze passed by, and Qingyangzi's figure disappeared again, leaving only Weiran alone, looking at the bright moon, in a daze.
Not long after, I saw a figure coming from a distance in front of me. It was graceful and graceful, aloof from the world. Under the moonlight, it moved people's hearts.
Wei Ran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stood up and stepped into the air to greet him.
Under the full moon, the two slowly met each other, and then hugged each other, never being separated for a long time.
"Self-centeredness is enough!"
