After that, Shen Qingfeng led Li Huanzhen into the tall wooden house.
The wooden house is large and spacious, with a radius of five or six hundred steps and a height of five or six people. After walking in, it feels like a palace and I don't feel restricted at all.
There are many small wooden shelves on the walls of the wooden house. Oil lamps are lit on the small wooden shelves. I don’t know what kind of oil it is. It has a refreshing fragrance, but no smoke. The light is also very bright, and the firelight does not waver.
The wooden house is surrounded by wooden bookshelves on all sides, and there are volumes of jade plate classics on the bookshelves. There are all kinds of books, some are large, some are small, some are hand-copied, some are lithographed, and some are. Woodblocks, and jade plates of different sizes.
On the four walls, in addition to dozens of large bookshelves, there are countless books with yellowing paper piled under the corners. There are incomplete ancient books, there are secretaries, and the room full of books. A conservative estimate is that there are as many as 100,000 volumes. Some of these many books are taller than others, and some are as small as the size of a palm.
"This is all the heritage of Shenguang inheritance in the past." Seeing them come in, Zhang Wulei, the blood-hand punishment saint sitting in a wheelchair with disabled legs, looked out the window and said: "When the Shenguang Sect fell, we were the first It took time to rush them out and prevent them from falling into the hands of the hypocrites from the Feihua Feixian Sect. Now they are all put together without any classification at all. I’m afraid they won’t be easy to find when I want to see them again.”
When they came over, Zhang Wulei asked Li Huanzhen with a solemn expression.
"How did your master Fuyaozi look when he died?"
"When the master died, he still stood upright, worthy of his Taoist heart!" Li Huanzhen proudly spoke of Fuyaozi.
"Really, I had an old relationship with Fuyaozi back then. We grew up together in our hometown. Before I became the Bloody Hand Punisher of Shenguang, we also traveled around the world together and fought against injustice until we met our mentor in the Yuanbing Empire. Only with our Eight Desolate Physical Techniques can we have a glimpse of the path to immortality!" Zhang Wulei slowly talked about his origins with Fuyaozi.
Hearing this, Li Huanzhen was shocked. He didn't expect that besides his master and himself, there were people who practiced the Eight Desolate Physical Techniques, and the former Blood Hand Punishment Saint of the Divine Light Sect, Zhang Wulei, was actually his master. My ancestor Zhang Fuyao’s hometown friend!
Zhang Wulei paused and continued, "Later, your master and I entered the divine light and the other entered Xuanji, and started different paths of cultivating immortals. Speaking of which, your master was really stupid. Xuanji didn't treat him well." No, I told him many times, but he insisted on staying there. He is really stupid and stubborn. The Bahuang Taijutsu will overdraw the face and make the face look old. He refused to take the Zhuyan Dan, and forcibly said Your face is your own, and it will be whatever you want it to be!"
After Zhang Wulei said this, Li Huanzhen seemed to see the old naughty master appear vividly in front of his eyes, and said with his hands on his waist, the face is his, and it will become whatever he wants it to be! , thinking of this, Li Huanzhen couldn't help but smile a little.
"Back then, Shenguang was also a famous sect in the world of cultivators. The Yuhua Feixian Sect used the excuse of discovering that the Shenguang sect was arresting people alive and refining corpses. They called us the Demon Sect and joined forces with other so-called righteous sects to launch a war to destroy the sect against us!" Zhang Wulei continued! He opened his mouth and said, "That battle was enough to see clearly the faces of those righteous hypocrites. The so-called slaying of demons and defending the Way is just for the secret technique of divine light and two swords. Xinghua Palace claims to be the leader of the righteous way, but secretly they are just deceptive people who steal their reputation." "
"That's right, Li Huanzhen, you see, your master Xuanji used unfounded stories to say that you secretly communicated with demons and demons, forcing your master to die, and now he has issued an order from Xuanji to go to the world of immortality to capture you!" Long Ling was also angry! He said unfairly.
Zhang Wulei waved his hand, signaling Long Ling to stop, and then said, "Qing Feng told me that he had an exchange with you in Nanzhou City that day, and he appreciated your views on the distinction between good and evil, so please Come to the Hidden Immortal Valley and you will see now that the people living in the Hidden Immortal Valley are the orphans of Shenguang from the past, old, young, women and children. They all need to be protected.
Shenguang also has a phantom spirit saint Li Wufei. Long Ling should have told you that he took Shenguang’s remaining disciples with some cultivation to establish the Shence Mansion in Sifang City as a peripheral organization of the Hidden Immortal Valley. Now I want to ask you, are you willing to join us, join the divine light, join our group of people in the devil's sect known as evil heretics! "
Li Huanzhen was thoughtful, then turned to Shen Qingfeng who was leaning aside and asked: "Senior Shen, Long Ling told me your story, why did you join Shenguang at that time?"
Hearing Li Huanzhen's question, Shen Qingfeng showed his handsome smile and said, "Me, I follow my heart. At least, the divine light is pure. I never pride myself on the so-called famous sect, unlike the six major sects." Ah, he looks dignified and upright, but he is full of bad intentions. Who knows what he is thinking behind his back?
Back then, rumors about me had been circulating in the world of immortality, saying that the demon Shen Qingfeng had massacred tens of thousands of monks with his magic power, and that the Heavenly Mansion had issued a sect order to punish demons like me. Everyone in the world of immortality should punish them. It is the responsibility of every righteous person to join hands to kill the demon Shen Qingfeng and restore a clear world to the world of immortality. It is the responsibility of every righteous person to defend the Tao and eliminate demons. "
"So what you said at that time struck me as very interesting. Whether a person is righteous or not depends not on his origin, but on whether the things he does are right or wrong. So even if those hypocrites claim to be from a righteous family and have a noble birth, but What we have done is nothing but the behavior of a rooster and a dog, and even if we are called a demon sect by those hypocrites, we are worthy of our actions and just do things that are fair and aboveboard!"
When Shen Qingfeng finished speaking, Li Huanzhen looked at Zhang Wulei solemnly and said, "Uncle Zhang, I decided to join Shenguang, just like Senior Shen, not for anything else but for my heart. Master also told me that Taoism Cheng Xin.”
Hearing this, Zhang Wulei smiled happily and said, "As expected of Fuyao's disciple, he has a pure Taoist heart!"
In this slowly distant journey of cultivating immortality, time is the most valuable. This is the law of the Tao, and so is the practice. It requires a clear and flawless Taoist heart to realize it, and a strong soul as the foundation on which to build the immortal platform.
It is impossible to achieve the harmony of yin and yang, or the mutual development of two virtues. All that can be achieved is the boundless sea of suffering and the persistence of one's true heart.
"For what purpose do we, the cultivators of immortality, spend our lives practicing?" There is no hope at the end of the path of cultivating immortals. Even the medieval disciples cannot become immortals and will eventually die. After experiencing the destruction of their sects and the fall of their fellow sects, Zhang Wu Tears bring loneliness. As for those casual cultivators who practice hard to avoid the world, they practice hard all day long, work alone in stone rooms, abandon the world of mortals, and practice in seclusion. In the end, it doesn't always turn into loess.
This really shakes the human heart. Instead of doing this, it would be better to live a carefree life in the mortal world like Shen Qingfeng, so as to be able to live up to his own years.
"The path is difficult and difficult, but you have to practice in the end. Once you have embarked on this path of immortality, there is no turning back." Shen Qingfeng's words are not high-minded, but they are wise words.
Just like Shen Qingfeng who lived alone in the world of mortals and cultivated a Taoist heart that can see through the mortal world, just like the legendary Xinghua Palace that left the world and cultivated a mirror-like immortal heart.
"Yes, the road that has not been trodden by the predecessors does not mean that it has reached the end. What do we want to do so far? We are just an insignificant splash in the waves of time. We just go our own way.
"Yes, we still have a long way to go, and we still have hope in our hearts. Enlightenment is the goal we strive for." Zhang Wulei said.
Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Wulei's vigilance allowed Li Huanzhen to quickly adjust his mind and guard his Taoist heart.
