Bright sunshine.
A scholar who came up from Nangong Mountain and a Shuijun who came up from the well of the ancestral hall sat and talked about Taoism. It seemed that they were the only two people in the whole Qinshui Town.
The scholar was wearing an extremely simple robe of a traveling scholar. The one he originally wore from the mountain had been torn to pieces while on the road. Even if he had to sew a hundred stitches, he would probably not be able to wear it again; besides, the weather was getting worse day by day. One cold day, the scholar was in a hurry and didn't bring any change of clothes, so he spent some copper coins in Dongshan City to buy new clothes.
Scholars say that money is only an external possession, but a meal in Lanyue Tower can probably be exchanged for countless new clothes.
On the other hand, this Suicune in human form has a luxurious appearance. Even his clothes are of a style that a scholar has never seen before. The outer edges of his sleeves are lined with plump clam beads, and the hem of his clothes is decorated with broken jade and gold threads. When the bearded man is put together, he looks even more graceful.
"Senior's appearance is indeed admirable." After chatting for a while, Liu Qing praised him intentionally or unintentionally, but looking at the look on his face, although he was sincere, he did not mean to envy him, "When will I be able to be as good as senior?" If you enter the well, you can travel around the world and find famous treasures in the world, and we, the monks, will be satisfied."
The man raised the corners of his lips, caught the pearls on his sleeves, and said calmly, "It's really not bad to travel around the world. The rare treasures are more touching. But contentment is a word, but not everyone can always rest assured; a thing that can reach the sky." When I get it, I always think about when I can get the next one. When the palace is full of heavenly objects, I also wonder where to get the spiritual treasure. Most people are like this. If you don’t know enough, how can you be content? Happy, let alone stepping on the immortal path."
The scholar only has three realms. Compared with his cultivation level, it is obviously quite far from sitting down and discussing the Tao. But today, he may be in a good mood, so the man chatted with the scholar for a long time, ranging from worldly affairs to spiritual practice, from practicing to breaking through the realm to being extraordinary. .
It was also difficult for Liu Qing. Although he was already quite rich in literary skills, he still seemed to be overwhelmed when facing this senior who had been alive for who knows how many years. Most of the time, he just listened silently to what the latter had to say, and occasionally responded with a few words.
"Don't even think about hiding your thoughts from me," the man continued with a smile. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the sunlight outside and the light and shadow on the wall had moved nearly two feet away. He stopped talking, frowned and said loudly, "That old man outside, since this ancestral hall is the place you guard, why don't you serve me a pot of tea? At such an age, how come you have forgotten all about hospitality."
The old man outside was already unhappy. Since the two of them occupied the ancestral hall, he had to sit under an ancient willow tree. He was extremely upset at this moment. When he heard the man in the ancestral hall scolding him, he became even more angry and started to scold him. He said, "Hey, uncle now knows that I don't make tea. Why have I never seen you find any expensive and good tea from outside before and give me two taels? There is not a single bit of tea residue in the ancestral hall. How can I serve tea to the old man?" ?”
There are usually so many people passing by in the town, but now it is empty. It seems that every household has nothing to do today. The long street, which was still relatively popular, is empty except for fallen leaves blowing in the wind. At this time, there was a continuous crisp sound.
Fortunately, no one is going out now. The old man's hopping and cursing behavior is very different from usual. If someone were to look at him, even if he cleans the ancestral hall ten times a day, he would probably lose his job.
"No need to complain too much. I have brought you some of the best Jintuan tea this time. Just brew it. Don't make such a fuss outside." The man stroked his eyebrows and shook his head. He smiled bitterly and said to Liu Qing aside, "This old man My son has always been like this, he is a good-natured person in the eyes of outsiders, but if you are someone you know well, he has always been this scoundrel, so don't take it to heart."
Liu Qing also smiled. The temper of the old man outside the door seemed to be a bit like that of his junior brother. When they first met, he was well-behaved and looked at to make people feel pity. But after getting along for a long time, he did become a bit like a businessman. The clues that broke the rogue's skin. However, since the junior brother understands etiquette, he is just a bit funny at most, and his tongue is a bit slippery, Liu Qing naturally turns a blind eye and doesn't pay much attention.
There is already a lingering air of twilight in him, and if he is kept in check, it will not only be useless for his practice, but it will also be boring to have a boring gourd on the top of Nangong Mountain.
After angrily placing the tea tray in front of the two of them, the old man did not forget to say a few sarcastic words, "Either way, the immortal master is so impressive that he just makes me, an old man, wander around while I sit and talk. What an illusory road to simplicity, you two are very simple, but it hurts the legs and feet of an old man like me, it is really annoying."
The man's ancient well has no waves, and the scholar lowers his head to drink tea.
The old man walked out of the ancestral hall with his head held high as if he had returned victoriously, but a man's warm voice came from behind him, "The golden tea I gave you is more than just a pot of weak tea. You have to return it to me when things get done here."
So the old man's originally relaxed anger was raised to Tian Ling Gai, and he went out muttering and cursing. He also took out the tea bag from his hand and threw it angrily to the well.
"Don't worry about him." The man sipped the tea gently and continued, "You said before that you can travel around the world by entering the well, which is indeed true. I guess you have also seen the ancient books, and you just happened to bump into my true body. This way, it’s no better than deliberately concealing it.”
"In ancient times, the dragon-like water king was none other than me."
Although she guessed that they were close, Liu Qing's fingers holding the tea cup still trembled slightly. Fortunately, she had already taken a sip when the tea was served, otherwise the tea would have shaken due to this trembling. Out a little.
Although Suicune looked at the middle-aged man, his face was handsome, and he seemed to be sighing to himself, "It's a shame to say that the road is so elusive that there is no trace. Even though I have lived for countless years, I still can't figure it out. I don’t know whether it’s because of lack of good fortune or because I feel uneasy. I can’t find a way out after reaching the extreme point, so I’m stuck in the same place. I feel really ashamed.”
Liu Qing was horrified.
There are only a handful of people in the world who can break through the threshold of the extreme realm, but the Sui Lord born in heaven and earth in front of him is already planning to go further after passing the extreme realm, which makes people not surprised.
"Perhaps, it's just that the time is not there. The senior's cultivation level is already close to that of a god. With such a high talent, I am afraid that one day he will be able to reach the extreme level one day and find another level for the people of the world." Regarding this extreme level of cultivation. My dear Lord, Liu Qing didn't know how to enlighten me, so he could only say a few words of relief, which should be praised.
"The extreme level is nothing," Shuijun shook his head, obviously not agreeing with the scholar's words, "There are really countless people in the world who have the talent to reach the gods. The talented people who are considered rare today may have been ordinary people in ancient times. I'm just a human being. I've been alive for a long time, and since I reached the extreme state, I have tried every means to make my practice one step further, so I searched for ancient books from everywhere, but I can only come to one conclusion."
Liu Qing frowned.
Suicune must have been searching for this secret for countless years. If he, an outsider, really listened to it, it would be a bad rule.
"After the extreme realm, there is an immortal way." Shuijun said slowly, "According to the records in ancient books, it seems that it was common for great powers to climb mountains and reclaim seas in ancient times. Compared with today's practitioners, they are more powerful than one. And his lifespan is extremely long. I got an old book from a water house before, and it was recorded in it that in ancient times, eight hundred years was one spring, and eight hundred years was one autumn, and despite the changes in the sea, it could not be destroyed."
"There seems to be a period of time in ancient history that was forcibly erased by someone with a large amount of money. It disappeared without a trace. Even the distinction between realms was completely erased. Now that people have reached this level of cultivation, it is really unprecedented for the ancients. , how difficult it is to find another way if you don’t see it again.”
Liu Qing had already been shaken by these words, and his usually gentle temperament was also shaken at this moment.
If these great secrets were known to practitioners all over the world, it would probably be enough to shock countless immortal families.
After passing the extreme state, there is the path to immortality.
