The aura of Wan Taofeng is getting stronger and stronger, and even ordinary people will feel the extraordinaryness of this place.
The Patriarch told Xue Tianqing that now is the time when spiritual energy is at its strongest. Since there are no fairy peaches to nourish, this is the best time to practice.
The ancestor told Xue Tianqing that external spiritual energy can be temporarily borrowed, but it cannot be relied on for a long time. One's own strength is the foundation.
She also warned Xue Tianqing that Taoist practice not only cultivates the body, but also cultivates the heart. Without a heart to save all sentient beings, no matter how good the cultivation is, it will be in vain.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Xue Tianqing's magic has improved so fast that even Patriarch Bodhi was astonished.
Not only is his spell like this, but he is also more proficient in Qitian Hunyuan Gong. But the more proficient she became, the more Xue Tianqing felt that it was missing something.
On this day, Xue Tianqing was sitting cross-legged under the peach blossom tree, when he saw Patriarch Bodhi walking on the clouds.
"Master, today is not the end of the month, why are you here?"
Patriarch Bodhi smiled: "What? Does it take time for me to come and see you?"
Xue Tianqing stretched out her hand and turned a big stone into a chair: "How could it be? You just come here every day."
Patriarch Bodhi sat down and said, "Smooth-tongued and not at all like a Taoist. Continue."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a long iron rod facing the wind flew over. It was the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron.
"I originally wanted to give you the Divine Iron in a few years, but since you have obtained Qitian Hunyuan Kung, it would be better for you to merge with his soldiers earlier."
Xue Tianqing took the divine iron in his hand: "What is the unity of man and soldier?"
"Dissolve the Divine Iron into your own body, and then you will be the Divine Iron, and the Divine Iron will be you. Only in this way can the Divine Iron be freely retracted and released, allowing the Divine Iron to exert its full power."
Seeing Xue Tianqing nod, the Patriarch continued: "The integration of soldiers and soldiers is easier said than done. If a cultivator can completely integrate a weapon into his body, it will be a great blessing, so don't be greedy for too much."
The Patriarch's words made Xue Tianqing's heart move. She wanted to tell her about the Dragon Song Sword, but she swallowed the words again.
Seeing that the founder was about to leave, Xue Tianqing reached out to stop him and said, "Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Although Qitian Hunyuan Gong is a good technique, I always feel that it seems to be missing something."
The Patriarch chuckled and said, "Then what do you think it lacks?"
"Hun, although the current technique seems to be impeccable, it is actually no different from the walking corpse. Just like a human being, the soul is gone and only the body is left. No matter how powerful it is, it is still a dead thing."
The Patriarch nodded and said: "You are good at practicing. When the time comes, the soul of the technique will come."
Seeing Xue Tianqing nodding, the Patriarch continued: "Wukong, the immortal world is no different from the world of mortals. If you venture out alone in the future, you must know how to restrain yourself and never show off in front of others."
Xue Tianqing knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching."
Patriarch Bodhi pulled up Xue Tianqing and said, "Get up, you have to remember that the human heart is unpredictable. This human heart is not just that of mortals, but that of everyone, including all the immortals in heaven."
Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "Didn't it mean that after logging into the Immortal Book, you would give up all your emotions and desires and lose all utilitarianism?"
The Patriarch tapped Xue Tianqing's forehead with his finger: "If this is true, why doesn't the Jade Emperor give up his throne to others? If there are no emotions and six desires, why do people in the world go to the Immortal Platform at all costs to hope for immortality?"
"It is said that even birds and animals have their own emotions. Crows feed back, and lambs knelt down to breastfeed. Isn't this an expression of love? If the creatures in the world really have no emotions and six desires, how are they different from the walking dead?"
When Patriarch Bodhi said this, he kept pointing his finger on Xue Tianqing's forehead: "Wukong, when you become a master of Taoism, you will know everything."
After finishing speaking, the Patriarch's fingers suddenly emitted a flash of light, which went straight into Xue Tianqing's mind.
When the ancestor's fingers left, Xue Tianqing suddenly raised her head: "Master, is this our world?"
Patriarch Bodhi nodded: "Everything in the three realms is here. In the future, if you become a master of magic, you can go wherever you want in just one thought."
Xue Tianqing was both surprised and puzzled. What surprised her was that the master had engraved the entire world in his mind in just one thought.
What makes me confused is that this world is completely different from what I thought, because it is like a stretched out picture, extremely flat.
I saw the vast land extending forward, until under a high wall made of mist. The high wall was like a sharp sword thrust into the sky, and I don't know where it leads.
On the earth, rivers and mountains are dotted with stars, and vast oceans surround several continents.
After a long time, Xue Tianqing finally spoke: "Master, what is behind the high wall?"
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said: "I don't know, the world today is within the clouds and mists. Everyone in the world says that the clouds and mists are the horizon, and there is nothingness outside. Since ancient times, many sages have gone deep into it to explore the truth of the world, but none of them can come back, whether they are humans or gods. , which also includes my master, your master."
Xue Tianqing was surprised when he heard this: "I still have a master? Didn't I say that you are a born saint?"
"Your master is the real saint. He came to the world since the beginning of the Hongmeng. In the end, he never came back to explore the world."
Xue Tianqing scratched her head: "Master, please express my condolences."
Patriarch Bodhi grabbed Xue Tianqing's big ears and said, "Master has not passed away, so I have nothing to be sad about!"
"Didn't you say you can't come back?"
"I mean I haven't come back, but I don't mean I won't come back!"
Xue Tianqing glanced at Patriarch Bodhi: "Master, I can confirm that you are born as a girl."
Seeing that the founder looked at him without saying a word, Xue Tianqing continued: "Your manners and pettiness indicate that you are born a girl!"
When Xue Tianqing fell headfirst on the top of Wantao Peak, the voice of Patriarch Bodhi came: "Since you said I am petty, I will show you my pettiness from now on." After saying that, he disappeared.
As the Xiantao grew up, the aura of Wantao Peak decreased a lot. At this time, Xue Tianqing stopped practicing every day and started walking on Wantao Peak.
When Patriarch Bodhi came to Wantao Peak again, he did not see anyone under the tree where Xue Tianqing was meditating.
It wasn't until half an hour later that I saw Xue Tianqing covered with fallen leaves under a peach tree on the mountainside.
At this time, Xue Tianqing seemed to be in trance, staring at a fairy peach without moving.
Patriarch Bodhi did not come forward to disturb him, but put his hands behind his back and looked at Xue Tianqing and couldn't help nodding.
Three days later, Xue Tianqing was still standing there, not even changing her posture.
Patriarch Bodhi pondered for a moment, then pointed his finger in the sky, and a transparent cover protected Xue Tianqing and the peach tree.
After doing all this, Patriarch Bodhi's figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared on Hentian Peak: "Brother Taoist, can you come out and see me?"
After a long time, the voice from the past sounded again: "If you have anything to say, please tell me, and I won't have to meet you again."
Patriarch Bodhi chuckled and said, "You saved my little disciple's life. I will always say thank you in person."
In a moment, Long Haichuan appeared in front of Patriarch Bodhi out of thin air: "Thank you, no need. I just think this kid has a good temper with me, so I took action to keep him and give him some tips."
Patriarch Bodhi looked at Long Haichuan and smiled: "You are not a good senior brother. Since you taught him the Divine Dragon Art, why did you only teach its form but not its spirit? It's a shame that he still calls you one senior brother after another."
Long Haichuan snorted: "You keep the Taiyi Innate Technique and don't teach it, but you have the idea of my Shenlong Technique. As a master, you can do enough."
Patriarch Bodhi sighed softly: "If you want to bite off more than you can chew, you have to take it step by step. Now he has exceeded my expectations."
Long Haichuan pondered for a long time: "You are so interested in him, are you sure he is the person you are looking for?"
The Patriarch nodded first, then shook his head: "Yes or no, he is a variable."
Long Haichuan handed a pamphlet to Patriarch Bodhi: "I've been waiting for him for so many years. I don't care if I wait another hundred years. Just take it. But this kid is a bit unruly, so he needs to be trained well."
Taking the book in his hand, the Patriarch smiled and said, "Don't wait until I ask you to ask?"
"If you have this skill, you should think about how to neutralize the tyranny of Shenlong Jue. One of your Taoist methods and the Shenlong Jue are extremely soft, and the other is extremely strong. I don't believe that kid can practice them at the same time."
Patriarch Bodhi raised his hand and said: "Thank you Taoist brother for making it possible. No one else will know the Shenlong Jue. As for how to practice it, it depends on his ability."
Long Haichuan nodded and said, "How was the trip to heaven?"
Patriarch Bodhi chuckled and said, "Very good."
Long Haichuan let out a long sigh: "Everyone in the world thinks that gods are free and carefree. Who would have thought that gods are also mortals, with the same intrigues, the same pursuit of fame and fortune, the same strife with each other. If I can get what I want this time, I am willing to die. With a single cultivation level, he will be reincarnated forever like a mortal."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled bitterly and said: "Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. If heaven and earth are like this, what can we do? If we want to be truly transcendent, I am afraid that only by breaking through the barriers of the three realms can we see the true heart of Mingyue, otherwise it will not be a star of this world. piece."
Long Haichuan smiled: "It's been a long time since I've seen you so sad, and it's been a long time since I've seen you show your true colors. But you'd better change back to your original self. I always feel that your precious apprentice is still alive."
Patriarch Bodhi said calmly: "Are you going to give up your seven emotions and six desires?"
Long Haichuan shook his head and said: "If you really don't have the seven emotions and six desires, what kind of cultivation and immortality are needed? Wouldn't it be better to turn into a hard stone and be beaten by the waves forever? I'm just afraid that you can't control yourself."
The Patriarch snorted softly: "The first time you thought about me, you were so cruel! Is there such a plan for our masters and disciples?"
Seeing that Long Haichuan had stopped making any sound, Patriarch Bodhi bowed his hands and left, and in a blink of an eye he appeared outside Xue Tianqing's small courtyard.
From the outside, there is nothing unusual about the small courtyard. It still has the same few trees, the same small flower bed, and it is still deserted.
But when Patriarch Bodhi stepped into the courtyard, the scene in the courtyard changed.
In front of the main room, on the futon, a man in green is sitting cross-legged.
But the big tree that was originally brought here by Qingyue and planted in the corner of the yard has disappeared.
Although the man is not handsome in appearance, he has an aura of agility that gives people an ethereal feeling.
Seeing the Patriarch entering the door, the man stood up and said, "Liu Qing meets the Patriarch."
Patriarch Bodhi looked at Liu Qing for a while, then nodded: "Yes, you really have a pure heart. You will practice well here, and when you complete the tasks assigned by me, I will definitely return your Taoist fruits for the rest of your life."
Liu Qing raised her hand and said, "Thank you, Patriarch."
After leaving Xue Tianqing's small courtyard, Patriarch Bodhi returned to the main hall and told the Taoist boy on the side: "Send Zhiyuan to come and see you."
