Not long after, the three of them returned to Shiraishi's house. After a quick dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Bu Xiaotian returned to the room and did not go to sleep or practice immediately. He sat cross-legged on the bed and counted the days, only to find that it had been more than a month since he went down the mountain.
I don’t know what happened to my master, senior brother, Yun Ying, and the others. I guess no one can control that naughty little girl when I’m not on the mountain, right?
Thinking of everything on the mountain, Bu Xiaotian felt inexplicably missing. He decided to leave here tomorrow and return to Yuxumen.
But somehow he thought of Mo Li again.
He felt that she was a bit similar to Yun Ying. They were both naughty and willful, but somewhat different. Ying'er didn't listen to anyone else on the mountain and only obeyed him. Although Mo Li was not as good as him in cultivation, But for some reason, he felt helpless to resist. Maybe it was because she saved his life.
Thinking that he would not be able to come out again in a short time after returning to the mountain, and would not see Mo Li again, Bu Xiaotian felt a little reluctant, and his determination to go back even wavered.
He didn't know when this woman actually occupied such a large space in his heart.
On second thought, Bu Xiaotian felt a little entangled and blamed himself. He still had a great revenge that he had not avenged, so how could he spend his mind on these things?
Feeling more and more annoyed, Bu Xiaotian simply stopped thinking about it, calmed down immediately, and began to practice his sect's mental method "Dao Xuan Jing".
That little bit of insight during the day was crucial to him. Many of the doubts he had about cultivating the Tao in the past were suddenly enlightened. Now, his true energy was running more and more smoothly, giving him a feeling of great relief both physically and mentally. Soon he was immersed in the atmosphere of cultivation.
On the other side, Mo Li did not go to bed after returning to the room. She sat quietly by the window, looking at the crescent moon in the sky. All she could think about was Bu Xiaotian, their encounter, their The acquaintance, and the little bits and pieces of getting along with each other later...
But the mysterious man's words stuck with her.
Is everything he said true?
Can she and Bu Xiaozhen really not be together?
Mo Li didn't want to believe this, but although the mysterious man had been very calm when he told her this, and even his tone didn't change at all, there seemed to be a power that made her have to believe it.
She couldn't help but think that if she really died and it would make him miserable, then maybe leaving him would be the best choice for both of them, right?
There was no words all night. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the mountain top, Bu Xiaotian opened the door and walked out. Looking at the mountain village under the morning mist, Bu Xiaotian felt an indescribable sense of tranquility and comfort in his heart. .
Bu Xiaotian found Bai Shi who had also just gotten up. When Bai Shi saw Bu Xiaotian, his face was full of smiles and said: "Good morning, Xiaotian, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Bu Xiaotian also smiled and said: "Old man Baishi, I am a cultivator, so I don't need to sleep for too long."
"Haha, if you practice well, you will become an immortal, live forever, and live freely between heaven and earth. It is really desirable!" Baishi sighed, his tone full of envy.
"Haha, old man Baishi, you only hear people say that practicing cultivation is good, but you don't know how difficult it is to practice.
Although practitioners live longer than ordinary people, how many of them die?
Since ancient times, good and evil have been fighting against each other. Although everyone in the world suffers, those who are at the forefront are practitioners.
As for attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal, although everyone is pursuing it, I have never heard of anyone who can truly attain the Dao. No one can even explain clearly what the Dao is, so how can one attain the Dao?
Although mortals don't live for more than a hundred years, they don't have to wander between life and death all the time. They can live a stable life and taste the ups and downs of life. Isn't that a kind of happiness? "
"I didn't expect you, Xiaotian, to have such insights at such a young age. I am speechless as an old man. You are really a formidable young man!" Seeing that Bu Xiaotian's words were well-founded, Baishi admired Bu Xiaotian very much. Can't help but admire.
"Old man Baishi, you're very flattering. I just heard a few senior brothers say this when I was on the mountain, and I barely remembered it. I really don't deserve such praise!" Bu Xiaotian quickly said modestly, these truths are indeed what I heard from the senior brothers. Mentioned before.
"Haha, according to what your senior brother said, aren't cultivators inferior to ordinary people like us in the mountains?" Baishi saw Bu Xiaotian being so humble, so he stopped being serious with him and asked instead.
"That's not true. According to what the brothers said, those who practice spirituality are transcendent. Although they cannot escape death, they can live for hundreds of years and will not be plagued by the diseases in the world.
Those with a slightly higher level of cultivation are no longer afraid of cold and heat. When they reach a certain level, they can use various means to fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Those who have mastered the art of Bigu can even allow people to go without food or drink for days or even months without feeling any discomfort. Basically, they are freed from basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation. The bond is much stronger than ordinary people in these aspects.
But practitioners also have the troubles of practitioners. Although we have abilities that are more powerful than ordinary people, we also have opponents that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Our righteous path has many cultivation sects led by the three major sects of Yuxu Sect, Jade Buddha Temple, and Yaowang Valley to maintain the stability of the world. However, the Demon Sect also has four major sects such as Black Flame Hall, Holy Soul Mountain, Tiandu Sect, and Miaoyu Sect, as well as countless evil cultivators. Disaster for the world. "Bu Xiaotian shook his head and explained.
"Oh, I see, there is something I don't understand. Logically speaking, practice is only for immortality and enlightenment. Why are there two paths of good and evil?" Baishi asked thoughtfully after hearing this.
"Old man, you don't know. The purpose of spiritual practice is to achieve immortality and ascension, but practitioners are still human beings after all, and they still have desires.
When some people master powerful power, their desires become uncontrollable and they become demons. There are also some practices that are extremely cruel, or they suck people's energy to improve their cultivation, and take the lives of others in exchange for the growth of their own cultivation realm. .
For various reasons, those who harm others for their own selfish purposes and those who have the mission of saving the world and supporting the weak are divided into two groups, good and evil, and they have been fighting endlessly. "
"Then if that's the case, everyone should be able to kill the evil way. Why can it still exist for so long?" After Baishi heard this, he had some superficial understanding of the two paths of good and evil, but he was not familiar with the evil way. Destruction is still a bit confusing.
"It does seem like this. The demon sect has done so many evil things. Although it has been despised and hated by the world, it has never disappeared from the world.
The Demonic Cult Kung Fu absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth into one's body and condenses it. The more the Heaven and Earth Yuanqi is condensed in the body, the more powerful it is. There is a saying that the Demonic Cult Kung Fu is like "swallowing a golden elixir into the belly, my fate is determined by me and not by God." , and even some cruel techniques can forcibly absorb other people's essence and vitality!
Although this kind of cultivation method can advance quickly and allow people to quickly break through bottlenecks, if a person is forced to contain so much vitality in his body, the vitality will run wild if he is not careful. At the least, his muscles and veins will be severed, and he will become a useless person, and in the worst case, he will explode. Death from the body is extremely dangerous.
However, there are always some people in this world who want to take shortcuts. The greatest desire of practitioners is to improve their realm. Some people have poor qualifications and will stop moving forward when they reach a certain realm. Over time, there will be some people who cannot resist the temptation. Fall into the devil's path.
In this way, although the demonic path has been suppressed for countless years, it is still lingering on. Sometimes some talented people with world-wide knowledge will appear in the demonic path, which once suppressed the righteous people. "
"What? There is such a thing?" Bai Shi was very surprised when he heard that the righteous way was still defeated by the evil way.
"Yes, it is said that more than two thousand years ago, when the Yuxu Sect was not founded, the Patriarch was just an unknown little Taoist boy.
At that time, the leader of the Demon Sect, Qiu Tianbian Demonic Art, had achieved great success. With his earth-shattering cultivation, he used thunderous means to unify the Demonic Way, which was full of factions at that time. Later, he actually led the people of the Demon Sect to defeat several major sects of the righteous way at that time.
For a time, the demon sect became very powerful, and the righteous people were almost driven out. If it were not for the three founders of Yuxumen, Jade Buddha Temple, and Yaowang Valley who later had great fortunes and joined forces to kill Qiu Tianren on the demon mountain, the world would have been in danger. That’s it! "
Speaking of the legendary ancestors, an expression of admiration and fascination appeared on Bu Xiaotian's face.
"In that case, doesn't it mean that the devil will never disappear?" When Bai Shi heard this, he also yearned for those legendary characters.
"Taoists have said since ancient times that 'all things carry yin and embrace yang.' Yin and yang are in conflict with each other and yet produce each other. This is Tai Chi.
According to my second senior brother, righteousness and evil are like the yin and yang of Tai Chi. Although yin and yang are opposite, they are interdependent to a certain extent. Just as there is light, there is shadow. The real Tao may be between yin and yang. That delicate balance. "
Although Bu Xiaotian said so, he actually didn't quite understand the meaning of these words.
"Haha, the old man doesn't understand what you are saying. As long as my children and grandchildren are safe, the crops in the field grow well, and there are no natural or man-made disasters, I will be happy."
Baishi was just an ordinary villager. Naturally, he didn't understand those mysterious principles. He smiled and said: "Okay, Xiaotian, let's go see if my old lady's food is ready. Let's chat. I’m actually hungry after such a while.”
"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too."
After Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, he followed Bai Shi to the room on the other side, which was the kitchen.
I saw two or three figures busy in the kitchen at this time. One of them, an old woman with a stooped figure, was Bai Shi's wife. The other woman, about thirty years old, was Bai Yan's wife, who was also Bai Shi's wife. The daughter-in-law, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, who else could she be if she wasn't Mo Li?
Baishi was very surprised when he saw that Mo Li was also helping to cook in the kitchen, and asked: "Miss Mo Li, why are you cooking? Old lady, how can you let someone like Miss Mo Li do such a thing as cooking? Where are the chores?”
"Oh, Uncle Baishi, I want to learn how to cook from Aunt Bai and the others, so don't blame them!" Mo Li quickly explained when she saw Baishi getting angry with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Hey, Miss Mo Li, why are you doing this? Just ask them to cook whatever you want, why bother to learn it yourself?" Seeing Mo Li's plea, Bai Shi didn't want to lose his temper anymore, but said a little guiltily One sentence.
"Uncle Baishi, you are wrong to say that. We can't stay here forever. We will always have to leave. If you learn to cook, you won't have to worry about food in the future!" Mo Li said as if he remembered it. What? His face turned slightly red and he didn't finish his words.
"Oh, I understand, I understand!" Although Mo Li only said half of what he said, Bai Shi looked like he suddenly understood. He glanced at Bu Xiaotian next to him with a meaningful smile on his face, and when he saw Bu Xiaotian He actually looked a little embarrassed and couldn't help laughing loudly.
The Bai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces, which made them both a little embarrassed and almost ran away through the door.
Bai Shi laughed for a while and didn't stay any longer. He took Bu Xiaotian to the main room and chatted about other things while waiting.
Not long after, the food was ready, and plates of hot food were brought to the table. Although they were all farm meals, they looked very tempting.
Bu Xiaotian sat at the table with everyone. Bai Shi said that Bu Xiaotian was a guest and asked him to use his chopsticks first. This has been the case these days.
Bu Xiaotian was almost used to it. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of green vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth. The moment the green vegetable entered his mouth, Bu Xiaotian's expression changed.
