Lu Yuan knew Qi Yun's nature, and he knew even more about Qi Yun's persistence in the immortal way. Listening to him talk about the real magic of immortality at this time, you will naturally not think that the other person is talking in his sleep.
'Looking at fellow Taoist Qi's expression, could it be that he has really seen the immortal magic? And those Taoist disciples he mentioned were cultivators of immortality? Lu Yuan couldn't help but think so.
At this thought, he couldn't help but get slightly excited.
Cultivate immortality and seek the Tao, travel around the world, catch stars and embrace the moon, and live forever.
Who knows, a passionate man's yearning for a happy fairy.
That not only means infinite freedom, but also the sublimation of life and the ultimate liberation.
Of course, for Lu Yuan, an immortal, the powerful power brought by cultivating immortals is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee of his own safety.
pity.
Although he is sure that there are immortals in the world, and he also has the immortality of the jade piece in his hand, except for the simple use of tempering his inner strength, he has not been able to find a way to really open the jade piece and open the immortality.
This is Lu Yuan's biggest regret in more than ten years.
But looking at this moment, maybe it won't take as long as he thought, and he can touch the immortal now?
Thinking like this, Lu Yuan looked at Qi Yun and asked seriously: "What is the true meaning of what my fellow Taoist said about the magical method of immortality?"
Qi Yun came back from his thoughts and looked at Lu Yuan's nervous and expectant expression. He didn't know what his fellow Taoist was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Just as fellow Taoist thought, it's the kind of person who can truly The magical method of harnessing thunder and fire, calling for wind and rain, and spreading beans into soldiers.
In fact, if I had not really seen this kind of immortality and knew that there is the art of cultivating immortality in the world, how could I endure the poverty and loneliness, saying that I would work hard to cultivate immortality in this corner of a barren mountain?
The prosperity of the world is charming to the eyes, and the wine and lust are touching the hearts.
I am also a mortal with seven emotions and six desires. How could I not be moved or yearn for it?
The reason why I can resist these desires is simply because I have a greater pursuit, to cultivate the immortal way, to pursue great freedom and great liberation. "
Qi Yun sighed a little.
In order to cultivate immortality, he has sacrificed a lot and suffered in this mountain for decades.
But after twenty or thirty years of devoted practice in Taoism, I have read thousands of Taoist books, memorized thousands of scriptures, and tried various methods of alchemy.
But all of the above can only make you improve your internal martial arts a little bit. As for the legendary Qi refining and cultivating immortals, they haven't touched the slightest bit.
This kind of helplessness and blow that results in fruitless efforts is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
If Qi Yun hadn't been cultivating Taoism for a long time and his state of mind was extraordinary, he would have gone crazy and possessed because of this huge gap.
"Are there really immortals in this world?"
Lu Yuan got a positive reply and became excited instantly, but soon realized that he had lost his temper, so he calmed down and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist, in Ziyun Dao in Tianluo Mountain, there is a real inheritance of immortal magic? Is that true?" It makes people become immortals."
Qi Yun looked at the fellow Taoist's loss of expression and understood quite a bit in his heart, because when he saw it with his own eyes, it was the same.
Thinking of this, I sighed again.
Because he witnessed the magic of immortality at that time, he plunged into the path of no return of cultivating immortality. Now he has introduced Taoist friends again, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong.
But they are both monks.
However, Qi Yun believed that for this Taoist friend, being able to seek Taoism means that he could achieve nothing in his life and always have a clear goal.
It is better than blindly cultivating Taoism and not even knowing whether the immortal is real or fake. That is the real sorrow.
Thinking of this, Qi Yun abandoned his distracting thoughts and said: "Yes, there are indeed real immortal books in Ziyun Tao. In Ziyun Tao, it is said that the founder of the sect, Ziyun Zhenren, left behind a book called "Heavenly Fire, Golden Crow and Ziyun" "True Dharma", by practicing this method, one can master the power of heavenly fire, attract thousands of purple clouds, control the power of clouds and fire, and gain immortality.
Twenty years ago, after I had achieved some success in practicing Taoism, I went to Tianluo Mountain with my ancestor to discuss Taoism.
At that time, I saw the contemporary Taoist Master Ziyun performing the Dharma in person at the Dharma Assembly.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, fire fell from the blazing sun in the sky, and turned into a golden crow in his hand.
Wherever the golden crow of heavenly fire passes, nothing will be burned. Even the eternal bluestone and the hundred-refined black steel will turn into powder when the golden crow burns.
Then Ziyun Taoist cast another spell, turning into purple clouds. Anyone shrouded by this cloud can hear the mighty Taoist sound, and his mind will be tortured.
Those who are weak-minded or have evil thoughts in their hearts will be tortured by this Taoist voice and will not be able to hold on in an instant and cry bitterly to plead guilty.
It is said that this is just one of the mysteries of Ziyun. The real effect of this cloud is to ward off evil spirits and subdue demons.
But in today's world, it is difficult for us to cultivate immortality, so why are demons and demons haunting us?
Therefore, the true effect of this magical power will never be revealed again.
In addition to Taoist Master Ziyun, there is also Taoist Master Feishuang Taoist in our country, and there is also the "Feixue Shuanghua True Sutra" in the sect. This sutra...
The Liang Kingdom in the north also has the Danding Tao, and the inheritance of this Tao is..."
Qi Yun spent half an hour describing in detail one by one the wonderful magic techniques performed by Taoist masters that he had attended the Tianluo Dharma Assembly twice and personally witnessed.
Lu Yuan was listening, and he couldn't help but be fascinated, as if he had entered the other person's perspective, participated in that grand event, and saw that mysterious fairy scene.
But this carefree mood did not last long.
After Qi Yun finished speaking about the Taoist master's wonderful methods, he stopped talking and said with a trace of pain on his face: "Taoist Master Ziyun had an emotion after the last grand meeting. He said that when this world, the spirit of the fairy spirit subsides, The essence of the sun and moon cannot be born.
To practice as immortal monks, we must breathe in the essence of the sun and the moon, and the energy of the immortal spirits of heaven and earth.
But now these essences of immortal energy are gradually drying up as they are used up.
The ancient monks could use these things at will, but now they need to have profound and magical methods to absorb and absorb these thin essences of immortal energy and refine them into their bodies.
Now that the immortality is declining, I am afraid that in a few hundred years, when all the essence of the immortal energy has been absorbed and refined, there will be no immortal cultivators in the world.
I have been practicing the immortal way for decades and have achieved nothing so far. I'm afraid that's why. "
Speaking of this, Qi Yun's face was full of sorrow and helplessness.
Think about it, no matter who knows that there are true immortals in the world, but the road to becoming immortals has been blocked, and future generations will behave like this no matter how difficult it is to become immortals.
Qi Yun was able to overcome these obstacles and continue to pursue that vain dream despite knowing that the path to immortality was elusive. This was a sign of great perseverance and determination.
"The world has changed so much, how can we mortals change? Nowadays, it is very difficult to cultivate immortality. I am afraid that I may not have the opportunity to become an immortal."
Qi Yun sighed, suppressed the sadness in his heart, then looked at Lu Yuan and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Lu is more talented than me, and his determination to seek the Dao is also extremely firm. His state of mind can no longer be disturbed by external things, so I dare to say this to you. thing.
Otherwise, if the state of mind is not enough and you have to listen to such words that the immortal path is cut off, the stronger your heart is for seeking the Dao, the easier it will be for your Dao heart to collapse.
Now, I have told my Taoist friends all about the truth about the immortal way. With my Taoist friends’ wisdom and determination, I should have made a decision, right? "
In today's world, the situation in the immortal world is so cruel.
Not to mention that it is difficult to become a true immortal, even that few people can master the immortal technique.
Qi Yun knew the truth before, but he never told Lu Yuan, Kong Yuzhu and others. It wasn't that I wanted to hide it, but I was afraid that if I told it, the two fellow Taoists wouldn't be able to accept the truth.
If today's discussion had not allowed him to confirm that Lu Yuan's state of mind was sufficient, he would not have said what he said today.
Lu Yuan stayed where he was, feeling huge waves in his heart.
He never expected that the truth would be like this.
The spirit of the immortal spirit has faded, and the essence of the sun and moon has ceased to exist. The monks cannot breathe out the essence of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to step on the path of immortality. There are no true immortals in the world.
'So what I'm traveling through now is a Dharma-ending world? '
After Lu Yuan took a while, he sorted out all the information and finally came to a conclusion.
Then, it was both joy and sorrow.
The good news is that if this were a Dharma-ending world, the immortal way would not exist.
Then without the threat of higher force, as long as he breaks through to Xiantian, he can become the ceiling of this world, and from then on he will be invincible in the world and no longer subject to any threats.
What worries me is that if he really cannot cultivate immortality, then his dream of wielding a sword and riding the wind, traveling in and out of Qingming, may be shattered.
The two thoughts flipped back and forth in his mind, leaving Lu Yuan at a loss as to what to say.
But despite this, he still made a decision in response to Qi Yun's question. At this time, he stood up and saluted this Taoist friend: "Even though the immortal way does not exist, as a seeker of the Tao, I know that there are immortals in the world." Fa, how can you not see the true face?
I also ask fellow Taoist Qi Yun to help me and take me to the Dharma conference to see for myself the wonderful magic of the immortal family.
If you can get what you want, even if you are not destined to be an immortal in this life, it will be half a comfort. "
As he said this, Lu Yuan was really thinking in his heart.
Regardless of whether you can cultivate immortality or not, it’s good to read those magical methods of immortality first to satisfy your eyesight.
Moreover, Qi Yun's regret may not necessarily be repeated with him.
'After all, I still have the jade piece of immortality in my hand. If I can make use of it, I might be able to use it to enter the path of immortality.
And given my longevity, maybe after studying it for hundreds or thousands of years, I can embark on the path to immortality?
Even taking a step back, even if the research cannot produce results, since there is an age of Dharma Ending, there may be a revival of spiritual energy.
Nowadays, spiritual energy is declining, and it is difficult to become an immortal. But what if I survive tens of thousands or millions of years until my spiritual energy recovers?
These are all possible. '
As an immortal, Lu Yuan always feels more confident when facing the regrets of people like Qi Yun.
Because others are short-lived species with a short life span and cannot survive a hundred years.
But he, an immortal and long-lived species, has endless lifespan, so he can wait slowly.
So what if I can't become an immortal?
With today's martial arts, if one can reach the highest level of Grand Master, it may not be any worse than those who are just starting out with the immortal arts.
Lu Yuan, who had an escape route and other options, didn't panic at all.
But Qi Yun didn't know much about this.
At this time, he looked at the firm appearance of his Taoist friend, feeling both happy and sad in his heart. Finally, he could only say: "Don't worry, Taoist friend, since I have told you this, I am planning to invite you to attend this meeting."
The Tianluo Dharma Assembly will be held in Tianluo Mountain during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th this year.
At that time, people from all regions will participate.
If fellow Taoists want to go, they can come to see me in early July, and then they can attend the meeting with me. "
Qi Yun gave the time for the Dharma conference to be held.
"August 15th?"
When Lu Yuan heard this time, he made a little calculation in his mind, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will come to look for my fellow Taoist at the beginning of July, and I will bother you to wait for you."
He saluted and thanked Qi Yun.
Qi Yun shook his head: "It's just a quota. I, Qingyun Temple, have had two quotas to participate in the Dharma Assembly every year. Now that Xiaozhuo's realm is not enough, foreign things will disturb his heart, and I can't take him there.
It just so happens that my fellow Taoist has such a Taoist heart, and with you by my side, I finally don’t have to be alone on this trip like last time. "
Taoist Qi Yun's master, like him, is also a man with a strong heart for seeking the Tao.
Therefore, after he was over seventy years old and confirmed that the path to immortality was hopeless, he accepted him as his disciple and passed on the mantle of the path.
Therefore, after Qi Yun got started, he only studied with his teacher for twenty years. After he had achieved a little success, he followed him to a Tianluo Dharma Assembly, and the old Taoist priest left Hexi.
Now, twenty years have passed, and Qi Yun is now nearly fifty years old and is participating in the third Tianluo Dharma Assembly.
This is the first time I have Master with me, but the last time I was alone. This third time, it is indeed gratifying to have a Taoist companion by my side.
…
After making an appointment with Qi Yun to attend the Tianluo Dharma Assembly together, Lu Yuan had lunch with him in the temple, and then said goodbye in the afternoon.
He is no longer the free man he originally was. As a general of the imperial court, he cannot be as carefree and free as before.
Those rebels from the Seven Star Sect were defeated and fled. Now is the time to take advantage of the situation and wipe out this group of rebels.
'And at the beginning of July, we will leave for Tianluo Mountain to attend the Dharma conference. It's already late January, and it's only June until the departure date. '
Six months was all Lu Yuan had left to prepare for this ceremony.
Yes, it’s preparation.
Since he was going to attend the Dharma conference, Lu Yuan didn't just go and see it.
For him, participating in the Dharma Conference and seeing the real immortal magic is just one of his goals.
In the Dharma Assembly, seeing if you can find the true method of cultivating immortality is the second goal.
Finding a way to use the Jade Immortal Fate is the third goal.
Finally, see if we can find a way to break through the innateness. This is the fourth goal.
Lu Yuan was not sure whether he could achieve any of the above goals.
But one thing, he was certain of.
The stronger you are when participating in the Dharma Assembly, the safer you will be.
Although according to Qi Yun's experience and statement, the Tianluo Dharma Conference is just a Dharma discussion event for Taoists and does not pose any threat.
But being together with so many Taoist masters, including even cultivators who could use immortal magic, Lu Yuan always felt that if he didn't improve his strength enough to attend the meeting, he would always lack a sense of security.
"So I will take advantage of these six months to complete my cultivation, destroy the Seven Star Sect, and seize the Pure Water Black Bull. First, I will raise my strength to the top of the first-class, and then to the top of the innate world."
Lu Yuan set a goal for himself, and then led the army southward to Luyang Mansion.
This time, after learning about the Tianluo Dharma Assembly, his motivation to destroy the Seven Star Sect became stronger.
