After the two of them paid homage to their ancestor's portrait.
Zhang Lin said, "Brother, where did our ancestors go? Is there really a fairyland? Can we monks really become immortals?"
Mu Sheng said thoughtfully, "I don't know either. Maybe I can only understand it when I reach her old age."
Zhang Lin tilted his head and said, "Well, senior brother is right! This is the case no matter what sect or sect in our world of monks. The ancestors of each sect will disappear inexplicably soon after they reach the realm of Hedao. No one knows what they are." There is no record of where I went in the Taoist scriptures. It is said that the ritual of opening an altar to invite gods can sometimes summon the spirit of the ancestor. Since the establishment of our Yuzhen sect, including the ancestors, only two people have emerged from the realm of Hedao. Ancestor."
"I see……"
Mu Sheng stared at the scriptures left by his ancestors on the wall and said, "Junior sister, this is my first time here. Let me first study the scriptures left by my ancestors."
Zhang Lin nodded, and the two began to meditate together.
After meditating and entering samadhi, Mu Sheng carefully understood the scriptures left by his ancestors and deeply felt that his ancestors' Taoism had reached the point of unity between heaven and man.
In the world of cultivation, the realm of Hedao has always been the legendary highest realm. No one knows how high this realm is. Those who know have either entered reincarnation or have ascended.
To identify whether an ancestor-level monk can finally become a Taoist, it mainly depends on whether he leaves a physical body when he finally becomes an immortal. If the physical body is left behind, it means that the body has died and the Tao has disappeared, and he has passed away on the spot.
If the ancestor only left his clothes in his final retreat, but his physical body disappeared inexplicably between heaven and earth, it means that he most likely truly transformed into an immortal.
There are also ancestor-level masters who became enlightened and ascended in front of their disciples. In the end, their clothes were left behind, but their physical bodies disappeared inexplicably, so this kind of legend has been passed down for thousands of years...
After the observation, the two people came out of the cave, and by chance, their junior brother Hong Ze also came to the entrance of the cave.
Seeing Mu Sheng and Zhang Lin coming out, Hong Ze ran to Zhang Lin and said bitterly, "Senior sister, how could you lie to me? We agreed that the three of us would come here together to observe the ancestor's works. Why didn't you even say hello? Did you just bring your second senior brother here privately?"
Zhang Linggang was about to reply and defend himself.
Hong Ze suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand. Senior sister, have you fallen in love with the second senior brother? That's why you sent me away so that you could have a private meeting with the second senior brother?"
When Zhang Lin heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment and he shouted, "What do you know, you little brat? I won't beat you to death."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Hong Ze quickly came and surrounded Mu Sheng. Zhang Lin was so angry that he stretched out his pink fist in an attempt to teach Hong Ze a lesson. However, Hong Ze reacted very quickly. Zhang Lin didn't hit him much, but he did. Several punches hit Mu Sheng, making him dumbfounded.
He looked at Zhang Lin and Hong Ze chasing after each other, and quickly advised, "Junior sister, don't be angry, Hong Ze is just a child, why bother with him..."
In the end, Mu Sheng's persuasion for a long time was in vain. The two of them had gone crazy. They chased for a long time. They were so exhausted that they could no longer run, so they stopped...
Zhang Lin gasped and said in a hateful voice, "Hongze, just wait for me. I'll have plenty of time to deal with you in the future... Humph!"
After Zhang Lin threatened Hongze, he turned to look at Mu Sheng, with a somewhat hopeful tone, and said, "By the way...Senior...Senior brother, I heard Hongze say that you will be going down the mountain in a few days?"
Mu Sheng nodded in agreement: "Well, yes, I will go down the mountain in three days. There are still many things to deal with in the capital."
Zhang Lin suddenly took Mu Sheng's arm and said, "Brother, I also want to visit the capital. I heard that it is the most prosperous city in the Central Plains. Every time I hear my grandfather talk about the old events in the capital when he served for the imperial court, I I also want to visit there.”
When Hong Ze heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Second Senior Brother, can you take me there? I have never been to the capital once, and I also want to go there to broaden my horizons."
Zhang Lin curled his lips and said, "Huh! You little brat, you haven't even grown your hair yet. What are you running around for? I tell you! Remember these four words, the world is dangerous! Is this the brain you have? Run out and get raped." Even after selling it, I helped count the money."
Hong Ze made a face at Zhang Lin and stuck out his tongue, slightly...
Zhang Lin was about to fight, but Hong Ze saw that the situation was not good and ran away immediately...
Hong Ze ran all the way away and shouted, "Second Senior Brother, please take me to the capital as well. It's too boring to stay here all day to practice. If you don't take me there, I'll go find some inner disciples I know well and tell them." Senior brother and senior sister are getting along, let’s see who dares to pursue senior sister in the future.”
Zhang Lin said angrily, "Hongze, you little bastard, stop here and see if I don't skin you..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Mu Sheng said helplessly, "Okay! Okay! Sha... uh... Junior Brother Hong, I promise you that I will definitely take you to the capital to gain more knowledge, but I have to wait until you are an adult, okay?"
When Hong Ze heard this, the half-grown boy was as happy as a five or six-year-old child, jumping up and down...
Mu Sheng and Zhang Lin looked at each other, laughing and shaking their heads at the same time.
Zhang Lin took Mu Sheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Senior brother, look, you have promised Hong Ze, what about me?"
Mu Sheng looked at Zhang Lin's cute and cute look with pouted lips, and he couldn't help but think of the girl next door across from their house in his previous life who was also so naughty and cute. Their family name was also Zhang. Later, the girl's father caught up with the dividends of the times and went to sea. After making a lot of money in business, he moved his family from the town. Later, he heard that the family immigrated abroad, and he never saw the girl again. He remembered that he had a secret crush on her when he was just in junior high school. ...Hey, it’s unforgettable, and the past is hard to look back on.
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, you will have to go down the mountain to practice in a few years anyway. As long as Master Xuanjing is willing to let you go down the mountain, I promise you that I will personally come to Yuzhen Sect to pick you up and take you to the capital for fun, okay?" "
When Zhang Lin heard this, his eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, I knew that senior brother is the best to me."
Mu Sheng said goodbye to these two difficult guys and returned to the small courtyard. He saw Hua Zilan meditating in the courtyard and quickly stood up to greet him after he entered the door.
Mu Sheng studied her for a long time and saw that her aura was more restrained, and there was an indescribable temperament all over her body. He said, "Feng Jiu, it seems you are about to break through?"
Hua Zilan nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, Master, I am about to reach the realm of Yuan Xiang. As long as I condense the Dharma in a few days, I will be able to do things better for my master."
Mu Sheng said, "Feng Jiu, I originally planned to go down the mountain and return to Beijing in three days. Considering your current situation, I still have to postpone it for a few days. When you really succeed in breaking through, we will set off. I can also apply here." Even with less cultivation resources, I can help you. When you start to break through, remind me and I will protect you..."
Hua Zilan said gratefully, "Master..."
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. You are mine and I should do these things."
After saying that, Mu Sheng took out a bottle of soul-soothing pill given to him by his master and handed it to Hua Zilan, saying, "This pill Fengjiu is made from an extremely rare soul grass. You can use it when you break through the realm." Fighting inner demons..."
Hua Zilan took the elixir solemnly. She knew how precious this elixir was.
Early the next morning, Mu Sheng took Hua Zilan to the back mountain to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, where the aura of heaven and earth was rich and conducive to practice, while Mu Sheng protected the practice.
For several days in a row, Hua Zilan did not drink water or rice, and was meditating all the time. Suddenly her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking. It seemed that she must have reached a critical moment. Suddenly, Hua Zilan's face was distorted, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng hurriedly meditated behind her and let the Qi penetrate into her body. He used the method of Vipassana to see that it was terrible. She didn't know what kind of inner demon she was experiencing at this time. She couldn't control her spiritual power. Running around in the veins.
Her spiritual power was much stronger than that of Mu Sheng. After half a stick of incense, Mu Sheng almost used all his strength to control the violent fluctuations of spiritual power in her body, allowing her to flow smoothly again. But could she overcome the inner demon? She still has to rely on herself.
Gradually, Hua Zilan's expression gradually became calm, and it seemed that she was in danger. Mu Sheng stood up and stared at her, fearing that something might happen to her.
When he originally traveled to this world, Mu Sheng thought that becoming a monk would be like in a fantasy game, with all kinds of special effects surrounding him, ascending to heaven and overcoming tribulations, etc. When he ascended to a higher level, he would be struck by thunder and tribulations, crackling and smashing.
Now it seems that the physical operation laws of this different world are not much different from the original world. They still basically follow the law of conservation of energy. There are no boundless mana for no reason, and there are no special effects for five cents. Some are just boring on weekdays. He cultivates slowly, and his strength is accumulated bit by bit in daily life. There is no trickery at all, and no strange phenomena appear when he breaks through the realm.
At this moment, Hua Zilan suddenly stood up. She was full of energy like a rainbow, and her spiritual energy came out of her body and gradually formed a red shadow behind her. It seemed that her Yuan Xiang had been successfully condensed.
At this time, Hua Zilan still closed her eyes tightly and was sweating profusely. It seemed that her inner demon was having a difficult time.
After burning the incense, she opened her eyes with a pale face and said, "Master, when I fell into trance just now, I saw fire everywhere and shouts of killing. I was very scared. I don't know why there were many burnt living corpses coming towards me." Rushing over... kept shouting injustice... I... I..."
Her voice trembled as she said this, tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't control herself for a moment.
Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward to hug her, hugged the beauty in his arms and comforted her, "Feng Jiu, don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, it will be over soon..."
When Mu Sheng heard what she said, he naturally knew that Hua Zilan had already caused cracks in her memory when she hit the realm, causing her to recall the past. It seemed that she had to make up for it, otherwise it would really be self-destructive. , don’t wake up and regain your memory when the time comes and kill him, the so-called “benefactor”…
After Hua Zilan consolidated her realm, the two of them were ready to go down the mountain. Before going down the mountain, Mu Sheng still had to pay a visit to his master Li Wen.
It was still the familiar palace. After the Taoist boy led Mu Sheng in, he saw the master Li Wen already waiting there, and even the master's wife was there. Mu Sheng saw that there was a white-haired old man sitting next to the master, looking at the clothes. It should be the way the outer disciple seems to be reporting his work to his master.
When Li Wen saw Mu Sheng coming in, he called him over.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and saluted, "Master, Master, my disciple is going back to the capital today. I come here to say goodbye to Master and Master."
Li Wendao: "Yeah! Okay, it's a long way to the capital. You have to pay attention to safety on the way. I don't have anything to say to my teacher before I leave. I must not slack off in my homework and practice diligently after I go back."
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Master, please keep your words in mind. Master, after I go to sort out things in the capital this time, I plan to come back and stay in the Yuzhen Sect to practice. I will always stay with you... "
Li Wen waved his hands when he heard this and said, "No, you have to stay in the capital. This is not the place you should stay."
Mu Sheng was confused and thought, could it be that the master was hindered by his status as a member of the clan? Probably not. Besides, the emperor has so many sons. One more than me is not more, and one less than me is not much. His own sons who have made mistakes have been sent to several other places. If I go to the emperor to ask for an order to go up the mountain to practice, he should be granted. Not a big problem.
Mu Sheng asked, "Master, is it because of Your Majesty that you don't want me to come to the Yuzhen Sect? In fact, it doesn't matter. My father has many children, and I am a direct disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. I invited you out of the capital to practice on the mountain. Your Majesty will most likely agree."
Li Wen said helplessly, "Hey! Sheng'er is not a matter of whether you can leave the capital, but that you have a more important mission. You have to stay in the capital, so Yuzhen Sect is not the place where you should stay..."
