"Of course there is." Meng Lao's voice was very soft, but Chen Bei was shocked!
I only thought that the most powerful place in the outside world was the Earthly Immortal Realm. If there really was such a changeable person as Mr. Meng, why had I never seen it before?
While he was thinking about it, he heard Mr. Meng say again: "However, even if there are such people, they cannot take action at will. After all, the disparity in strength is too great, so the consequences of contamination will be heavier."
"Back then, I saw that in this world, there were people who ignored the way of heaven and committed endless crimes, and were punished by the way of heaven. From then on, their body and soul disappeared."
"Since then, those restless people have become extremely honest."
Chen Bei was horrified: "Another punishment from heaven!"
"Old man, what did that man do that would lead to punishment from heaven?"
Meng Lao's eyes suddenly showed a touch of sadness, and he asked after a long time:
"Let me ask you, why do you practice?"
Hearing this, Chen Bei was stunned.
Why do you practice?
Chen Bei thought about it, and it seemed that it was because his master suddenly found him when he was in prison, and then came here in a daze.
And all this time, it seems that I have never asked myself, why should I practice?
why?
Is it for the transcendent strength or the supreme status?
Chen Bei's eyes flashed with confusion, and then panic.
He thought for a long time, but he didn't think about why he was practicing.
Mr. Meng seemed to be really well-informed, he didn’t say anything, he just smiled and said:
"There's no need to be anxious, and there's no need to be afraid."
"There are thousands of people in the world, but those who know why they practice Taoism are only one in a thousand."
"Some people do it because they are thirsty for strength, while some people do it because they have been chosen as a last resort since they were young because of their talent."
"But that person back then knew why he practiced Taoism since he was a child."
"It is precisely because of this that God punished him in the end."
"Why?" Chen Bei couldn't wait to know the answer.
Mr. Meng took a sip of tea, and then softly uttered two words:
"Longevity."
"What?" Chen Bei's eyes suddenly widened.
"Is there really such a thing as immortality?"
When Mr. Meng saw Chen Bei looking so excited, his expression immediately became serious.
He shook his head and said, "Don't think too much."
"I have lived for thousands of years, but I have never seen anyone who can truly cultivate immortality. Even the so-called ascension, I have never seen anyone."
"That person at the beginning also practiced for thousands of years, so he thought that he could really go against heaven. He felt that what he wanted was not immortality, and heaven should be tolerant to him."
"So, he slaughtered more than a million people, using human life as the cornerstone. But the moment he formed the formation, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky and thunder rolled."
"I just remember that that day, lightning struck continuously for a year, and that person couldn't live. Even the land used to form the formation was broken into five pieces because of the ground jumping. What you saw today , is one of them.”
Chen Bei's pupils were shocked, and then he said even more urgently: "You mean, these small worlds were chopped into pieces at that time?"
"What about the gluttonous bones?"
Mr. Meng suddenly smiled: "That person who defies heaven is Taotie!"
Chen Bei was horrified, and suddenly he understood something. It was no wonder that it took a year for the thunder to kill the monster that day.
As he spoke, Meng Lao raised his hand and saw a bone suddenly appearing in his hand, and then threw it to Chen Bei like trash: "Here is one of the few remaining bones." .”
"It's a pretty good baby. If you like it, you can play with it."
Chen Bei looked at the gluttonous bone and always felt that it looked familiar. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Meng: "Isn't this your fishing rod?"
"It's just a pastime." Mr. Meng didn't seem to feel any distress at all: "Although this thing has been dead for thousands of years, the resentment in it has only increased a lot. You are murderous yourself, so don't be killed when the time comes. His influence.”
After hearing what Mr. Meng said, when Chen Bei looked at the gluttonous bones again, he felt that there seemed to be a seductive magic power on the bones.
It was as if his soul was being sucked in.
But suddenly, Chen Bei felt clear in his heart, and all the doubts in his eyes disappeared.
The gluttonous bone seemed to be trembling in Chen Bei's hands.
Even Mr. Meng was a little surprised by this!
"You can actually control the thunder?" Mr. Meng finally put down the tea cup and looked at Chen Bei, his expression even more strange.
"It's really an anomaly."
Chen Bei just smiled faintly, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. The fear in his heart had not dissipated just now, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Meng, do you think people can really live forever?"
Mr. Meng was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know."
"I have never seen it before. There are people who pursue immortality, but throughout the ages, whether it is the human race, the saint race, or other races in the past, I have never seen them succeed."
"Are you considered immortal?" Chen Bei looked at Mr. Meng with burning eyes, as if looking at a huge treasure.
Mr. Meng suddenly choked up. Is this considered immortality?
His lifespan seems to be as long as that of heaven and earth, but he seems not to be one of the living beings. After thinking about it, Mr. Meng didn’t hide anything:
"Perhaps, the secret of immortality is hidden in this world of origin. After all, the vitality in the origin is flourishing, and only in a place with such majestic vitality can it be possible to find the way to immortality."
But after Chen Bei listened, he was silent for a long time.
But in my heart, I was thinking about the meaning of immortality.
For him, practicing is to find the truth and protect the people around him, but if he wants to live forever, what price should he pay?
If you live forever alone, whether the people and things you care about now will eventually become a small speck of light in your vague memory.
If so, what is the meaning of eternal life?
For a moment, Chen Bei fell into a trance again.
Mr. Meng seemed to see through Chen Bei's thoughts and said with a smile:
"Silly boy, don't be too persistent on the way to practice, and don't be blinded by greed and desire. You have to remember that real practice is to improve your character and ability. Just remember a few words and it will take care of itself. Just stop in moderation."
After hearing this, Chen Bei was shocked and realized that Meng Lao's words reminded him of his original intention of practicing. He took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Meng gratefully: "Thank you, senior."
Mr. Meng smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and waved, and the surrounding scenery changed again.
Looking at the friendly Mr. Meng, Chen Bei drank a lot of peach blossom tea one cup after another. The old man and the young man were chatting happily, but just as they were talking and laughing.
Chen Bei suddenly spoke and stared at Mr. Meng:
"Mr. Meng, I have another question, why do you want to help me?"
