Chapter 125: Talk under the tree
The turtle was originally an ordinary turtle that ascended from the mortal world to the fairyland. But according to it, it originally belonged to the fairyland, but was forced to come down to earth for some reason. Even it itself didn't know the specific reason.
Judging from the various experiences it has experienced along the way with Zhou Hao, it does have an astonishing life experience, because its understanding of some things in the Immortal Realm far exceeds that of some big shots. In Zhou Hao's view, its knowledge is no less than Based on the hundreds of thousands of years of experience of a great immortal master in the immortal realm. The source of this knowledge is nothing more than two words - strength! Because without absolute strength, it is impossible to understand the cruel laws of the fairyland, various survival techniques, and many natural and earthly treasures.
"It is indeed possible. Even I have long heard that the palace master has entered the soul decline stage among the five declines of the immortals. Generally, at this stage, unless you use the most precious Nine Turns Golden Pill or other similar heaven-defying medicines, you can Or break through and be promoted immediately, otherwise there is no choice but to wait for death. The palace master has long understood Nangong Xun's rebellious heart, so he does not hesitate to completely destroy himself to see the future, prepare a back-up for the Immortal Palace, and counterattack Nangong Xun. "Yu Nan nodded, agreeing with Wugui's guess.
As we all know, the five declines of immortals are strength decline, blood decline, Qi decline, bone decline, and soul decline! It is a catastrophe that even immortals cannot escape. Who in the world can avoid death? Even this vast world of immortals, the realm of sacred immortals and Buddhas known as immortals, has experienced several eras of destruction, eras have experienced faults, and civilizations have disappeared, not to mention those immortals who once looked down upon the sky and the earth. The hero became a Taoist master, but in the end he just became a passing cloud of history.
Nothing is absolute, and nothing is eternal. Whether humans, immortals or even the entire world, they are constantly improving in development, but with progress there will be elimination. Time is the judge that eliminates all things. It is fair, fair and open, because it is ruthless and selfless!
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. The sun and the moon are ruthless, killing heroes for thousands of generations.
"Then the person you have to wait for is Zhou Hao. He is one of the two young men that Master Yunmiao mentioned. He is here now. Give us the fruit quickly!" Hua Huo looked at Zijin. Zhu Guoshu said.
"The Immortal is talking about two young people, are these two of you? And how do I know if he is one of the people I want to wait for!" Zijin Zhuguoshu asked in return.
"Old Bangzi, you just said that only those two young people can enter your barrier. Now that Zhou Hao has come in, it proves that he is the person you are waiting for. We just came in by the way. It's just a group of relatives and friends!" Wugui argued.
"It's also a reason. After all, no one can enter this barrier except the Immortal. Unless you have the power of a great immortal to break the barrier forcibly, since you didn't break it forcibly, it seems that you know about the barrier and Yunmiaoxian." The relationship between the palace formation, if the barrier is broken, the formation will be destroyed, and if the formation is destroyed, the palace will be in danger!" Zijin Zhuguoshu said.
"Senior, do you know why we are here?" Zhou Hao said sternly.
"I just came here for the Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit." The Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree replied.
"No!"
"oh?"
"We are here to protect the Yunmiao Immortal Palace. Do you know that the Immortal Palace has changed a lot now? It has a new owner. Nangong is looking for wolf ambitions. He colludes with the envoys of the Night Palace to kill the palace owner, mutilate the elders in the palace, and even imprison those who disobey. Disciple. And the reason why he did this was because he had an agreement with Night Angel. The agreement was that Night Angel would help Nangong Xun become the new master of Yunmiao Immortal Palace, and Nangong Xun would find the Purple Gold Fruit for Night Angel. But although they killed Even though I have mastered the palace master, I cannot master the formation of Yunmiao Immortal Palace, so I cannot open the barrier."
"Since they can't open it, why do you come here again? You're not here for the Purple Gold Fruit!"
"Because I know that Nangong Xun and Night Angel will not give up. This time I was lucky enough to use the power of the gourd to repel them. However, the power of Night Palace is unpredictable. They will definitely gather stronger forces to come to the Immortal Palace to snatch the Purple Gold Fruit. .”
"That's just your guess. It's safest to put the Purple Gold Fruit here now. If I give it to you, it will be a sheep in a tiger's mouth."
…
After some negotiation, the Purple-Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree still refused to hand over the fruit to Zhou Hao, which made the latter really a little annoyed. To be honest, he did have a selfish intention to get the Purple-Gold and Vermilion Fruit to become stronger. The old tree saw through it. His thoughts were so deep that no matter how much he argued, he could not move this old man whose age was unknown.
"Old Bangzi, you are just acting like a rogue. Immortal Yun Miao has said that only Su Qing and Zhou Hao can enter the barrier, and asked you to give the fruit to one of them. It's better for you to understand that it means getting together. It takes two people to hand over the fruit, so why can't they be brainless?" Oogway cursed.
"Actually, the truth is very simple. The fruit is mine, and I can give it to whoever I want. The words of the Immortal cannot influence my decision. In other words, even if I give the fruit to Nangong Xun, it is okay, but the Immortal said to me back then To repay his kindness, I took root here and protected Yunmiao Immortal Palace for thousands of years. Although he asked me to give the fruit to Yunmiao Immortal Palace's future seeds of hope before his death, I have to follow my rules. Let's decide who to give it to, and in my opinion, a young man like you can't pass the test at all." Zijin Zhuguoshu looked at Zhou Hao and smiled playfully.
"Then what exactly does Senior think Zhou Hao is failing at?" Zhou Hao said unconvinced.
"The nature of the heart is uncertain, the mind is impetuous, and it is too unstable to be a great weapon. How can I leave such a precious purple gold and red fruit in your hands?" the old tree commented on Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao wanted to argue with it, but he took it back because he was suddenly shocked to realize that what the old tree said was right. His character had indeed not been stable these days.
Maybe it's not just these days, but it's been going on for a long time. My heart seems to have been depressed and silent, and the reason is obvious. Naturally, it is the current chaos in the Immortal Palace and the continuous death blows to his extremely important people!
In less than a month, the original Yunmiao Immortal Palace became the Nangong Immortal Palace. The master of the palace was killed, the master was killed, and Senior Sister Su Qing, who sacrificed her life to save herself, had always supported her to take care of herself and waited for her return. Senior Brother Cao Shuang was killed... What has he gained since he came to this vast fairy world? But what did you lose?
Zhou Hao smiled, a forced smile. His anger was a bit strong now, and the next time he would go through a tribulation, he would definitely attract stronger inner demons, and these were the reasons for his unstable mind. For example, the last time the inner demon possessed him, he was able to take over the body in an instant. It may not only be because the inner demon is strong, but from another aspect, it is because his character is too poor and his will to be immortal is weak!
There is a saying in the immortal realm that in addition to the physical body and the soul, there is another very important thing, that is, the immortal mind! This thought distinguishes between good and evil, strong and weak, the path of immortality and evil is only in one thought, the strong and the weak are also just one thought. If the immortal thoughts are immortal, even if the physical body and soul are destroyed, they can still be placed between heaven and earth. Over the years, new life forms can eventually be born.
The same was true when the Great Immortal ascended Tulang. Although his body and soul were destroyed in order to seal Luo Tianyi, his immortal thoughts were so powerful that they gathered into a ray of soul and existed for a long time, and gradually recovered in the gourd. Peak state.
Immortal Thoughts Immortal Thoughts, that is, the thoughts of the Immortal Way, come from the heart but are not burdened by the heart. In other words, even if the heart is gone, the thoughts are still there. The firmer the mind, the more powerful the immortal thoughts will be. This kind of spiritual consciousness is thought and can be divided. Unless all thoughts are given up, it will never die.
"It seems you have noticed something!" Zijin Zhuguoshu looked at Zhou Hao with a wry smile and said.
"Both the soul and the physical body can continue to become stronger and stronger through cultivation. Although the nature of the mind is the same, it is not exactly the same. On the contrary, if you do something wrong, it will lead to instability of the mind and cause big problems. Immortal thoughts come from the heart but they are not the same. Being burdened by the heart is like a ray, which has a beginning and an end, but there will be obstacles on the way to prevent the ray from moving forward. Some of these obstacles can turn the ray into a curve, and some can cut off the ray and turn it into a line segment with a beginning and an end..."
"And you are just like a curve now. You are restless and angry, and your anger is too strong. The curve is extremely large. Even if you reach the realm of the Immortal King now, it will only feed your inner demons and kill yourself."
Zhou Hao didn't speak. He took a deep breath, then bowed deeply to the old tree. Finally, he sat cross-legged under the tree and closed his eyes, just like an old monk entering meditation and enlightenment!
If Zhou Hao was learning how to unsheath the sword in Yellow Gourd before, then he is now learning how to sheath the sword.
For a true swordsman, he must first know how to use a sword. The moment he draws the sword out of its sheath, the sun and the moon must be dim, the mountains and rivers will change color, and the long sword will reveal its sharp edge, and the sword's light will dominate the universe. But at the moment when the sword is sheathed, everything will be silent, the light will disappear, and the universe will turn into a chaotic atmosphere.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with Zhou Hao? Why did he suddenly start meditating?" Xiao Shanshan asked confused.
Yu Nan shook her head. She didn't know what Zhou Hao was thinking.
The Old God Oogway said: "He is enlightening, stilling, and cultivating his mind and nature. He is imitating the disciples who awakened themselves under the bodhi tree. If nothing else happens, when he stands up again, he will be in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. !”
The Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree laughed and said: "That's it, that's it. If this boy can have some enlightenment and walk out on the great road, maybe I can also be called the tree of wisdom and the tree of enlightenment like the Bodhi tree, hahahaha..."
Before its laughter could stop, Hua Huo, Oogway and the others were all sitting cross-legged under the tree, wanting to come under the red fruit tree to awaken to the immortal way and improve their realm.
For a moment, the six figures sat cross-legged under the tree and meditated on enlightenment. They could only hear the rustle of fallen leaves. Unknowingly, time passed by, but a major incident occurred outside the barrier.
