In the small courtyard in Beicheng, it was already dark.
Song You had already finished writing the letter and folded it on the table. He sat opposite Sanhua Empress, who had turned into a human again. The quilt on the bed was folded neatly and placed on the inside.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the shadow of the lamp flickered.
Just listen to Song You ask:
"What kind of magic does Sanhua Empress know?"
"Miss Sanhua knows how to catch mice."
"That's Empress Sanhua's ability, but it's not a magic." Song You shook his head.
"Sanhua Empress knows how to be popular. She can remember everyone who has offered incense to Sanhua Empress and can find them." Sanhua Empress said immediately.
"That's the magical power of Empress Sanhua, and it's not a magic." Song You still shook his head, "Besides, Empress Sanhua is far away from Shinto now. If she doesn't inhale incense for a long time, her magical power will slowly dissipate."
"Miss Sanhua is very smart."
"That's also Sanhua Empress's ability."
"That won't happen..."
Empress Sanhua's tone was inevitably a little frustrated.
"Now that Sanhua Empress has transformed, how about I teach Sanhua Empress how to learn spells?"
"Yeah!"
"What does Sanhua Empress want to learn?"
"I want to learn everything!"
"You can only choose one."
"Why?"
"Learning magic does not happen overnight, and you have to eat it one bite at a time. Moreover, many masters and hermits who practice the true way will only know one or two magic spells in their lifetime, which is enough to dominate the world and even be erected as a god. Song You looked at her calmly and said, "This way is more valuable than more."
"Then what do you know?"
"I have the power of fire. I can burn ghosts at the bottom, demons at the bottom, and gods and demons at the top. When it reaches the extreme, I can be like the True Lord Huoyang, and it is possible to burn a city or country."
"This is good! This is amazing!"
"Want to learn?"
"Have you learned how to be cold?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of the cold?"
"Then I won't learn anymore! Learn something else!"
"I have the method of water walking. Depending on the depth of my cultivation, I can breathe freely in the water, make waves, make rain and snow. To the extreme, I can change the course of the river and change the color of the sea like the True King of Splitting the Sea."
"Can I go into the water and catch fish after I learn it?"
"You don't need this method to catch fish. Ordinary people can catch fish without going into the water." Song You said, "You can catch a lot more."
"Then I'll learn other things!"
"I have the method of earth walking. Depending on the depth of my cultivation, I can turn the earth into a wall, turn a stone into a soldier, and sit on a mountain to become a god. When it is reached to the extreme, I will be like a thick earth god, who can raise mountains and sink valleys."
"Is this difficult?"
"You can get started in a few years."
"Are you good at studying?"
"It's a little bit involved, but it's not as good as fire."
"Then I'll choose again."
"I have the method of wood, which can help all things grow. It can encourage flowers and fruits to bloom in different seasons, and can make dead branches sprout. To the extreme, I can be like the immortal immortal who can bring life back to life, stay young and immortal, and live forever."
"Monkeys must love this!"
"I also have the power of gold. I can swallow knives and break their blades. I can turn stones into gold. I can turn the ground into steel. At the extreme level, I can be like a golden spirit official, invulnerable to swords and guns, and indestructible."
"How to swallow a knife?"
"If you swallow the knife into your stomach, it won't hurt you."
"Why eat the knife?"
The girl opened her big, incomprehensible eyes.
"If you don't like it, I still have the magic of talismans, which can drive away ghosts and avoid demons, explode thunder and create fire. There are thousands of kinds of talismans, and their uses are endless."
"I am a demon."
"I have psychic skills and can talk to ghosts and gods."
"Miss Sanhua doesn't like talking to gods."
"Don't feel inferior."
"What is low self-esteem?"
"..." Song You shook his head, "I also have the method of swiping back and forth. I can take objects from a distance and put them back to their original places. It's just like I bring water from an empty glass and drink wine from a bottle."
"After learning this, can I ask the mouse to come over by myself?"
"It's okay to be good at this."
"Then I want to learn this!"
"Then Sanhua Empress must be patient. It takes a few years for ordinary people to get started with this method. At first, you can only take things that are not far away, that you know and belong to you. As your attainments become deeper, you can also take things from others. At the extreme level, you can take things that are thousands of miles away. As long as you know the place, you can easily take and put things away.”
"How long does it take to catch a mouse?"
"For ordinary people, it can take as little as ten years, or as long as several decades."
"Can you catch mice?"
“I only learned the basics.”
"That……"
Empress Sanhua tilted her head and thought for a while:
"Then I'll listen again."
"Very good. Listen more and make more choices. Don't make rash decisions. This is a good thing." Song You praised, "Empress Sanhua is indeed very intelligent."
"Speak quickly."
"I have a method of gathering beasts and regulating birds. Once you get started, you can make wild beasts and birds get close to you. You can make them understand what you mean, and you can understand their meaning. As your attainments improve, you can even control wild beasts and birds. Even the rare birds and animals in the world can be used by you."
"Um……"
Empress Sanhua tilted her head and thought for a while: "We can always ask the mouse to come over by himself, right?"
"That's fine."
"Then I'll learn this!"
Song You smiled, but then said: "However, everything in the world is not perfect, and all methods have limitations. If not, there are flaws, defects or restraints. Just like this method of gathering beasts and regulating birds, the practitioner can During the operation, the heart must be completely calm and full of goodwill. There must not be even a little bit of guilt or apology, not even the slightest bit that you are not aware of."
"Can't understand."
"That is to say, this magic is a mental method. People who learn this magic, regardless of their level of attainment, must first cultivate their minds." Song You paused, "And to be completely calm and without any guilt or debt, it is also necessary to see As for the cultivation of human nature, some people need to be vegetarians all their lives, while others just need not use it to harm animals, and only a very small number of people in the world can use it to deceive and harm living beings."
"Can't understand."
"Sanhua Empress can use it to call mice over, but if she uses it to catch mice and eat them, it will malfunction, and she may even be unable to use it again. The years of cultivation on this path will be destroyed in one day."
"Cats are meant to eat mice."
"That's different."
"Why?"
"Just like me, every time I cast a spell, I actually face the animals with a pure and kind heart. So the animals are infected by this, and mixed with the spell, they also have a pure and kind heart towards me. But if I have One day, with the help of this spell, I used their pure and kind hearts to deceive them. From now on, I will never be able to use this pure and kind heart." Song You paused, "Even if Sanhua Empress can do that now Only very few people in the world can do it, and I think that even doing so is perfectly justified, without any guilt or debt. However, as Sanhua Empress practices and studies for a long time, she will gradually understand the difference. By then, Years of hard work have been wasted.”
"Can't understand."
"You will understand it slowly in the future."
"oh."
Sanhua Empress continued to look at him eagerly.
"I also have the ability to create dreams. At the bottom, I can enter dreams and support them. In the middle, I can create dreams and trap people. At the top, I can weave dreams into the heaven and earth. People in the world can live in them without knowing it."
"Sanhua Empress can dream herself, why should she go into other people's dreams? Isn't it fun?"
"Miss Sanhua, do you still remember the first spell I talked about?"
"forgotten."
"..."
"It's your fault for talking too much."
"Maybe."
"Why do you have so many?"
"I just understand it a little bit."
"It's still a lot."
"I am powerful."
"oh."
"What does Sanhua Empress want to learn? Have you thought about it?"
"Ms. Sanhua doesn't know."
"Then does Sanhua Empress remember anything?"
"Immortality."
"Ha ha……"
Song You couldn't help but chuckle twice.
It seems that immortality is not only the ultimate pursuit of human beings, but also the ultimate pursuit of other living beings.
What a pity, what a pity...
Although Song You is not sure whether one can achieve immortality and immortality in the practice of Wood Technique to the extreme, but even if it is possible, the only person in the world who can reach the extreme in this way is the Changchun Immortal.
As for whether the Eternal Spring Immortal is immortal by faith or by magic power, or even whether the Eternal Spring Immortal is real or fake, and whether it is still alive, who knows?
"Taoist priest."
"Um?"
"Why don't you talk?"
"Have you ever heard of Tao Yun, Lady Sanhua?"
"No."
"There is a Tao Yun song that is sung well..."
…
Yu Zhizhou was sitting at the top, and someone came in.
"Zhizhou, the villain is back."
"Sir, please accept it."
"Sir, I accepted it."
"It is indeed right to let you go."
"Knowing the state is a reward."
"Just accept it..."
Yu Zhizhou waved his hand and asked him to go down, then fell into deep thought.
In these days, the way to immortality is like the bright moon above our head. It is mysterious and unattainable, but it has been given a different color by the masterpieces of literati of all ages. It is common for literati and scholars to yearn for the way to immortality. There are even talented people who simply call themselves immortals and immortals. They often dream that they can be like the poets in ancient times. Suddenly one day they look up at the moon, or they get a poem after being drunk, or some opportunity suddenly enlightens them. , so he left this mortal man behind and became an immortal. He lived forever, free and easy.
When Yu Zhizhou was young, he yearned for immortality and even invited a few friends to go to famous mountains to seek immortality. Unfortunately, he didn't get it. Now that he is nearly fifty, he still often looks for elixirs and makes elixirs for himself.
Every pill you take is further away from the troubled world.
The gentleman today may not be an immortal, but he is indeed one of the few masters he has ever met in his life. Unfortunately, he didn't get the answer he wanted after talking to him.
Maybe my relationship with my husband was too shallow, and my husband naturally didn’t want to talk to me more.
But what can be done?
Who can guess the thoughts, likes and dislikes of these hidden masters? I had heard before that the gentleman liked to listen to the piano, and I was full of confidence. I wanted to use Yang Jinsheng to get closer to him, but how could I have imagined that the gentleman only wanted to listen to the piano and had no interest in the person playing the piano across the wall? I was lucky enough to accidentally see my husband playing with ink sticks.
Besides, I should be content—
These few words today are shocking enough.
Yu Zhizhou couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
When the world first opened, were there really no gods?
There are no gods at the birth of the sun or the moon?
So how can one become an immortal?
Immortals should be able to live forever, right?
Isn’t it possible too?
Sitting here, it was getting late, and he kept thinking, fantasizing, and indulging in it.
Until his wife came and asked him to turn on the lamp and go to sleep, and he lay down on the bed, he still opened his eyes and looked at the emptiness of darkness, with the shallow moonlight outside the window, and he began to think about the gods on the moon palace again. If he became an immortal himself, he would definitely fly to the Moon Palace often to play.
I fell asleep somehow.
When he was confused, he actually heard someone singing. The words were mysterious, the voice was old, and the music was rough, but it had a natural and simple charm, leisurely, which reminded him of an old Taoist, and the voice should naturally come from It comes from the Taoist temple in the mountains, and of course it carries the fragrance of incense sticks.
“Since ancient times, flowers have never been beautiful, and the moon has never been round.
“If you pile up gold and jade, it’s hard to buy immortality.
"Can birds have thousand-year-old cranes? Centenarians are rare in the world.
“Life is dull, death is vast.
“Whenever you want to wake up, you will grow wherever you want.
"...
"Where did the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors go? Where are the ministers of the past dynasties?
“But looking at the history of history, who can avoid impermanence?
"..."
