As soon as Donghuang Taiyi's words disappeared, part of the inner doubts of the Longmen people were solved. Then he looked at Donghuang Taiyi, but he didn't say a word to Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi wants to be a villain, what can he do? Donghuang Taiyi relied on his Sansheng Bridge to understand the wishes and desires of the dreamer, so he used this to set conditions for Gu Yucheng's regrets. No matter what he said, it would be of no use. He just stood there without saying anything, just watching Gu Yucheng make his choice.
Donghuang Taiyi was also waiting for Gu Yucheng to make a choice.
Gu Yucheng paused for a moment, then bowed to the East Emperor Taiyi. Seeing this, the people in Longmen sighed helplessly. However, I heard Gu Yucheng say loudly, "Thank you, senior, for letting me know the whereabouts of my sister. However, I forgive this junior for not overestimating his own capabilities and wanting to find my sister on his own."
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes. After he told Gu Yucheng the whereabouts of his sister, he just now deliberately told Gu Yucheng that he wanted to surrender to the Bai family, just to see if Gu Yucheng was inferior to others. If you have a heart, I'm afraid it won't be a great thing. Even if Gu Yucheng is really accepted by then, there will be no inheritance passed on to him. As for Tianyan theory, that is even more impossible.
Gu Yucheng's refusal made Donghuang Taiyi and the people of Longmen realize that Gu Yucheng was a malleable talent. Moreover, after Gu Yucheng rejected Donghuang Taiyi, he was able to dispel the suspicion of the people in Longmen and make them pass the inheritance to Gu Yucheng without any doubt. Don't make the people of Longmen have too much suspicion about Gu Yucheng's identity. It doesn't matter at all how the people of Longmen view this poaching behavior of agreeing and then regretting it. He didn't care about Donghuang Taiyi.
Then Donghuang Taiyi smiled lightly, said nothing, nodded and turned to leave. Before even taking a step forward, Donghuang Taiyi turned back and said lightly, "You can go find your sister when you are successful. After all, the demon country still doesn't like the human race." After that, he left directly. Never looked back.
The person from Longmen watched Donghuang Taiyi leave, feeling indescribably happy in his heart, and even his face showed a bit of joy. He looked at Gu Yucheng calmly and just said to Gu Yucheng, "Let's go."
Then he walked towards the valley.
But Gu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed correctly. This was indeed the place for the man with red hair and red eyes. Although the man from Longmen did not show any aura, the demonic aura of Donghuang Taiyi was so incompatible with this world that Gu Yucheng had to doubt Donghuang Taiyi. Huang Taiyi was not the master of this place, and Donghuang Taiyi's words "Follow me" made Gu Yucheng even more suspicious that Donghuang Taiyi was not the master of this place. If he was the master of this place, why would he say such a thing to Gu Yucheng? A choice?
And Donghuang Taiyi gave Gu Yucheng the feeling of being arrogant. When such a person said such words, Gu Yucheng speculated that the red-haired person in front of him should be indistinguishable from the person with golden eyes.
The most important point is that Gu Yucheng doesn't want to surrender to anyone now. Otherwise, he would have to think about so many things. Wouldn't it be nice to directly agree to Donghuang Taiyi?
Gu Yucheng, who breathed a sigh of relief, came to the valley with the red-haired man. In that valley is a place surrounded by mountains, complete with ridges, and covered with shadows. Gu Yucheng looked at this place and couldn't help but blurt out, "Surrounded by mountains here, it is the place where Meng Huo and Meng De were burned by fire. It is suitable for hiding and destroying troops."
Although the red-haired man walking in front said nothing, he took the opportunity to take a look at the terrain of the entire valley. It was a good place to use troops. Then he took another look at Gu Yucheng.
The two of them walked to the foot of a mountain together, where a wooden pavilion was built. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by greenery and fragrant flowers. It was a quite pleasant place.
The red-haired man brought Gu Yucheng to the pavilion, sat on the ground, and then asked Gu Yucheng to sit down and calmly feel everything here. As for what he dared to say specifically, he didn't say anything at all. Gu Yucheng didn't ask anything, just sat down expectantly.
When Gu Yucheng began to feel it, the stream slowly flowing through the small pavilion slowly turned light red, and even felt like it was boiling. And Gu Yucheng also felt an unknown sense of comfort in the world of perception. This feeling is like the memory that has been dormant in the body has awakened. The feeling gathered together into a warm current, slowly turning in the spiritual sea, just like a fish swimming under the red bridge. I don't know how happy the fish is? Don’t you know the sorrow of fish? In his perception, Gu Yucheng seemed to have had a complete dream. This dream was like the wings of a butterfly, silently flashing by. As he stared blankly, he lost the memory of the beginning and end of the dream, only this constant flow. Dreams keep warming memories...
In that dream, Gu Yucheng didn't know whether the fish dreamed of him or whether he dreamed of the fish? Who dreamed of whom? Only then did Gu Yucheng realize how real Zhuangzi's doubts were.
If there really are no boundaries, then where is the authenticity of cultivation? Where does it really begin? Where does it end? Is the state of Taiyi the end? Or is it just one of the turning points in an upward spiral, aiming to go even further? Or is it the end where there is no further possibility of progress?
Gu Yucheng's thoughts were temporarily separated from his perception. I strayed into the whirlpool of thinking and couldn't extricate myself.
At this time, Gu Yucheng once again thought about what is the avenue?
But I can’t figure it out...
What is Avenue? As a monk, everyone will embark on the path of cultivation. However, just like people living, for what purpose do they continue to exist? ——Gu Yucheng doesn’t know.
At this time, the red-haired man could clearly feel that Gu Yucheng's state was different from the situation around him. The light red stream had returned to its original appearance and became clear again.
The red-haired man didn't know what Gu Yucheng was doing. He only knew that although Gu Yucheng was not comprehending everything around him, he was still comprehending some things. Therefore, the red-haired man did not interrupt Gu Yucheng's perception.
At this moment, Gu Yucheng quickly fell into trouble after some self-exploration. Gu Yucheng, who was in trouble, quickly understood that it was not that he didn't think enough, but that he knew too little. Since self-seeking cannot answer your own questions, then look for answers from outside.
So Gu Yucheng opened his eyes. He looked at the red-haired man in front of him. He asked calmly, "What is Tao?"
The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, and then slapped Gu Yucheng on the head.
This is the same as Ye Ze, who feels too ambitious and ambitious. Gu Yucheng also knew that what he asked was a bit crazy. Then there was silence. Just waiting for the people from Longmen to say something.
The man ignored Gu Yucheng completely and said directly, "You know the two major systems of cultivation, right?"
Gu Yucheng nodded, and the red-haired man said directly, "The main reason why self-cultivation and other-self cultivation are divided into two major factions is that there is a big difference in the use of spiritual power."
The red-haired man glanced at Gu Yucheng and then said, "The self is the root. The other is the outside."
"My cultivator mostly absorbs spiritual power into his body and transforms it on his own, or stores his spiritual power and releases it when needed. But other cultivators like him mostly borrow the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and then Release the spiritual power. The self, re-transform. The other self, re-borrow..."
After a pause, the red-haired man continued, "However, self-modification does not mean that I will not borrow spiritual power. Neither does he or I, a monk, mean that if I borrow spiritual power, I will not be in a state of spiritual power exhaustion."
After the red-haired man finished speaking, he went to meditate without saying a word, leaving Gu Yucheng alone to taste it carefully.
After a long time, Gu Yucheng finally understood a little bit and began to actively perceive everything around the pavilion.
At this time, Gu Yucheng gradually felt the difference in spiritual power from when he practiced before. The spiritual power used to be like a bowl of soup, with many different spiritual powers mixed in it. He could only absorb a small part of it, but at this moment, Gu Yucheng could feel the spiritual power. The one closest to you.
The red-haired man slowly opened his eyes, a little helpless. Gu Yucheng's perception of time was a bit beyond his estimate, or Gu Yucheng's talent was slightly worse than he imagined...
The red-haired man looked at Gu Yucheng and finally said, "Compared to the original monk, he and I have a stronger sense of closeness to spiritual power, so it is easier to break through the realm. - However, this does not represent him. My monk is stronger than my self-cultivation. Relatively speaking, the three major types of self-cultivation that he and I modify: alchemy, formation, and forging all rely on the improvement of realm to advance further. Therefore, my monk must carry out self-cultivation. Also master the transformation of spiritual power."
"It can also be said that in terms of the perception of spiritual power, the self-monk is stronger, but in terms of the absorption and application of spiritual power, the self-modification is better. Moreover, other monks must carry out self-cultivation, and the self-cultivation must be carried out. But I, as a monk, do not have to practice my own practice."
While Gu Yucheng listened, he carefully perceived everything around him.
The red-haired man carefully observed Gu Yucheng's reaction, but saw that Gu Yucheng did not react for a long time. Although it was somewhat expected, there was still an inevitable feeling of loss. The red-haired man sighed softly and closed his eyes again. I went to meditate alone.
For a long time, Gu Yucheng didn't see any reaction. The red-haired man couldn't help but be a little confused, so he raised his head and looked at Gu Yucheng. But he saw that Gu Yucheng was meditating calmly, seeming to have entered a peaceful state. The red-haired man knew that Gu Yucheng was once again not perceiving or comprehending, but was instead comprehending something, but he felt helpless and had no choice but to let it go.
It wasn't until about eight sticks of incense had passed that Gu Yucheng faintly woke up, with a smile, and said to himself, "Dreams have three lives, and they float into six. The Taoist master has no existence, and I am the truth." .”
