Wu Sheng spent a month recuperating in Lushan, recovering the injured Qi Hai, meridians and consciousness. Jian Jia then breathed a sigh of relief: "You can't think about it anymore."
Wu Sheng chuckled: "Practice is just random thoughts."
Jian Jia rolled her eyes: "You're talking nonsense again. At least you can't think of going crazy, right?"
Wu Sheng said: "Actually, wandering around the edge of obsession has been very rewarding. At least it has allowed me to get rid of half of the possibilities, and the direction to go forward is clearer."
Jian Jia asked: "Where else do you want to go? You are now a righteous god. You are in charge of patrolling. For thirty-three days, thousands of immortals and countless monks are looking up to you. Still not satisfied? Can't you be more practical?"
Wu Sheng looked at the sky and said: "Emperor Xi and Emperor Wa, in order to explore the road to sainthood, regarded the so-called inspection power as nothing and left as soon as they wanted. Did they ever miss it? The Xuanyuan family wanted to establish a heaven. What did he want to do and why? Is it authority?”
Jian Jia said: "I don't care what you said, I can't do it again!"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Don't worry, how can you fall in the same pit twice? I have some ideas this time, and I'm going to discuss it with more people."
The first person Wu Sheng talked to was Gui Guzi. Gui Guzi was originally a great god. His cultivation level was no less than that of some World Honored Ones who were forcibly recommended for various reasons. He had even controlled one life, and his understanding of the way of heaven was better than that of ordinary great immortals. The Great God is much stronger, and communicating with him is the right thing to do.
Gui Guzi likes to live in seclusion. Although he is the bachelor in charge of Zhongnan Mountain Academy, he does not live in Zhongnan Mountain. He spends his days practicing in Sizhen Cave, one of the nine realms.
Wu Sheng entered the Sizhen Cave Realm through the Chaos Fish, and soon came to the Ghost Valley of Yunmeng Mountain, where he met Sun Bin and Pang Juan at the door.
The two men were coming out of the valley, talking to each other.
"Junior brother, come to Daliang. I will ensure that my junior brother will be re-employed by the king and show his talents. If you and I join forces, we can conquer the world!"
"Senior brother, the Spring and Autumn Period, Luyi, and Gu Yang were merged into three generations. I haven't yet figured out the general trend of the world, and I want to take another look."
"The general situation is uncertain because you and I have not come out. When we come out and join the world, the general situation will be determined..."
"Meet the Grand Maester!"
"The Grand Maester is here!"
Wu Sheng looked at them with a smile: "Is your master here?"
Wei Liao hurried out of the valley and welcomed Wu Sheng in. Sun Bin and Pang Juan looked back many times, looking around while walking together.
"Why did the Grand Scholar come to find a teacher?"
"It's a matter of heaven, right?"
"The prehistoric period has been decided, is there anything else that will happen?"
"Who knows?"
"Junior brother, did you listen to what I just said?"
"Senior brother, it is not you and I who can determine the general trend of the world. The ones who really control the world are the scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period. With such powerful people like them, how can the affairs of other countries be regarded as major events in the world?"
"Oh, that's true... With Yuan Shi Zhengshen here and so many Hedao immortals and gods, the war between the nations is no longer interesting..."
In the Ghost Valley, Wei Liao retreated after serving tea, and Wu Sheng asked: "I haven't seen many of you come to this world recently? Are they all in this Sizhen Cave?"
Guiguzi said: "The Xuanyuan family is deliberately delaying, just urging all the worlds to issue talisman edicts for the past Hedao. This year, there is no hope for heaven, and there is nothing going on. I will hide here and take care of Sizhen Cave. I After all, he is the Realm Lord."
Wu Sheng asked: "How does Mr. Guigu plan to take care of this world?"
Guiguzi said: "Some friends saw that my place was quiet and quiet, and they also planned to open a separate town to stay in Ye for a few days in their free time. A few days ago, Lie Yukou and Yang Zhu came to choose a place, and they also brought a friend named Zhuang Zhou. , the conversation is interesting... No matter how good it is, it will be a beautiful thing to live in seclusion here together in the future and exchange Taoism."
Wu Sheng praised: "Zhuang Zhou is good. I have heard about his deeds. He always has some weird ideas and a rich imagination."
Gui Guzi nodded: "That child has just reached the stage of cultivating the void, but I dare to say that he will definitely become a Taoist within ten years." By the way, why is the bachelor interested in coming to the Wo Si Zhen Cave? "
Wu Sheng said: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with me. I just want to talk about the great road with my husband."
"Avenue?"
"That's right. As great immortals and gods as I am, how should we practice next? What are your plans, sir?"
Gui Guzi smiled bitterly: "The levels of great immortals and great gods are also different, and not everyone can talk about the Tao. Just like the dead Jiao Shan and his ilk, there is no Tao in their hearts at all; and like me and the likes of Goulou Xian, Chang Xian, and Magu, I have heard of the Great Road, but I don’t know where to find it; another example is Rong Chenggong, Xuannv, Wuchangjun, etc., maybe they saw the shadow of the Great Road, but it passed by in a flash; only Xihuang, Emperor Wa, Xuanyuan, Shennong, um, and you, bachelor."
Wu Sheng shook his head: "Sir, there is no need to put me on the list, I am still far away. On the contrary, sir, I am knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I must have some experience in the great road."
Guiguzi said: "This is what worries me. If you really ask me, I only have a little experience, the essence of the Dao. I have learned too much and understand too much. This is the biggest intellectual obstacle. If you want to pursue the Dao, you must abandon it. I can't make up my mind as to which miscellaneous studies I can discard. Just in time, the bachelor is here and can help me with the details."
Wu Sheng was very interested: "Sir, please tell me."
Guiguzi said: "The scholars I teach include eating Qi and immortality, forming Yin and Yang formations, refining weapons and elixirs, medical divination and astrology, military strategies, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
Wu Sheng marveled: "You really know everything!"
Guiguzi said: "But it is not good to know too much, and it will not be refined. For example, I can't figure it out. When it comes to alchemy, I dare not speak nonsense in front of the bachelor. When it comes to refining weapons, Mo Zhai is far better than me."
Wu Sheng waited and saw that he had nothing to say. He knew that he was quite confident among the other Taoists, so he joked: "When it comes to painting, I'm afraid Mr. Guigu is not as good as anyone."
Guiguzi asked curiously: "Who?"
Wu Sheng said: "Wan Tao."
Gui Guzi also smiled: "Wan Tao? Lushan Academy Wan Fengxing? Yes, when it comes to beauties, I am even more willing to be inferior! So... how do you think I should give up?"
Wu Sheng said: "Forget it about playing chess, calligraphy and painting. It's okay to have fun with it. But if it's for the sake of the Tao, it will make you tired and lose your interest."
Guiguzi nodded: "That's right."
Wu Sheng continued to make suggestions: "There is still alchemy, so give up on alchemy. As long as I am here, you will not be able to get ahead in the alchemy path. Although there is a saying that there are a thousand great ways, you can choose any one, but there is also a saying that there are a thousand great ways. One for each person. Over the past few years of practice, this is my understanding. Although the avenue is endless, it becomes narrower and narrower. When you go far away, it is like a single-plank bridge. I occupy the single-plank bridge. How can you get by? "
Guiguzi: "..."
Wu Sheng gushed: "I think the divination method is very promising. You know that Xu Fu, who is often with Wu Ban, the divination written in blood is quite remarkable. He is unique in the world. Whatever you say, this path will come true." If you go to the extreme, who can stop you? Why don't you overtake in the corner, go around in front of Xu Fu, and occupy the single-plank bridge first..."
He and Gui Guzi have been discussing the road for many days. Wu Sheng tried his best to help him make suggestions. As for how to choose, it is ultimately up to Gui Guzi himself to decide. This is not something he can decide. After practicing to the realm of great immortals and gods, whether he can continue on. , luck is often the key.
The two of them sat and talked about Tao, all about Gui Guzi's Tao, but Wu Sheng also benefited a lot from it, and the conversation was not less interesting, until Gui Guzi said that he had a great insight during the discussion with Wu Sheng, and he had to retreat and meditate immediately, Wu Sheng was still unfinished. Get up and say goodbye.
Gui Guzi sent Wu Sheng to the Chaos Fish. Wu Sheng was still talking: "...Actually, the art of war is quite good. Isn't Mr. Gui Gu a master of the art of war? Let me tell you, your two disciples, Sun Bin and Pang Juan is very talented in the art of war. You have to think carefully about whether to occupy this single-plank bridge yourself or they..."
Guiguzi said: "For me, the art of war is the last word. Bachelor, the fish has opened its eyes..."
"There is no right path in the great road..."
"The fish has opened its eyes, maester, be careful..."
"Huh? Who kicked me..."
"call......"
"Teacher? Teacher?"
"Wei Liao, let's just kick him this time, but never do it next time. He is a bachelor after all."
"yes......"
Back in Lushan, Jian Jia was the first to rush to Longhu Hall to visit Wu Sheng: "How was the talk with Mr. Guigu?"
Wu Sheng exclaimed: "You know?"
Jian Jia said: "I rushed over to listen to a scene, it was a mess. Seeing that you seemed fine, I felt relieved and came back."
Wu Sheng said: "Why don't I know... Don't worry, I'm fine. You don't understand. The conversation was very good. Although the conversation was about Mr. Gui Gu's path, I have some idea of my own path." .”
Jian Jia asked: "Why don't you talk about yours? Let Mr. Guigu give you some advice."
Wu Sheng shook his head and sighed: "He doesn't understand my great way."
Jian Jia was speechless and could only say: "In your words, it's a bit too high."
Wu Sheng said: "It's not floating, it's real." As he said that, he jumped up.
Jian Jia chased after him: "Where are you going again?"
Wu Sheng said: "Go and see Lord Wugo Mountain."
Jian Jia was surprised: "Aren't you going to find Mr. Wu Chang?"
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "I won't go. The prince has no fighting spirit, and there is nothing to talk about."
We met again in Pixiu's cave. Half of Pixiu's body was sunk into a pile of colorful rocks. In just this room, there must be at least tens of millions of people.
Wu Sheng walked in with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and lay down on the colorful stones. He couldn't help but sigh: "Mountain Master, you must have too much money."
Pixiu sighed: "I don't know why, people sit in the cave, money comes from the sky, my Tianlutai business is getting better and better, and there are more and more customers."
Wu Sheng laughed and said: "Good things, good things should be celebrated."
Pai Yao asked: "The bachelor is here to ask me to borrow money, right? Let's make a deal first. If you don't want money, you want your life!"
Wu Sheng was speechless: "I thought that the friendship between me and the mountain master would be no problem if I borrowed 18 million for anything. I didn't expect that the mountain master would say that. This makes people very sad. The mountain master is not as good as before." That’s so generous, could it be that I have offended somewhere?”
Pixiu said: "Friendship is priceless, and money has a price, so they can't be confused. This is not a matter of friendship, it's a matter of the road, so don't be careless."
Wu Sheng was stunned: "Does the mountain master know my purpose of coming?"
Pixiu said: "You have the aura of white scum on your body, and you came from the great road."
"Bai Zhi?"
"In the ancient war, Chi You rode the white bamboo to kill countless Xuanyuan tribesmen. After Chi You's defeat, the white bamboo was supposed to be used as a sacrifice to the heroes who died in the battle, but the Xuanyuan family did not do this. Why do you think so?"
"Baizhu...it turns out it's the panda..."
"Ahem...why do you think so?"
"It's a strange way. This is what happened..."
"Little friend? Little friend? What do you mean?"
"ah?"
"You tell me why!"
"Why?"
"Huh... Because this white scorpion is the best at following the road. If the white scorpion is around, you can often find traces of the great road. I can smell the white scorpion aura from your body, so I know you are here for the great road. hehe……"
Wu Sheng blinked his eyes and was stunned for a long time, then he said: "This white scorpion... is so magical?"
Pixiu leaned back, causing the colorful stones under him to clatter, and he said leisurely: "Just tell me, did you kidnap Xuanyuan's Bai Zhi away?"
Wu Sheng smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from the mountain master."
Pixiu hummed: "How many years have I lived? How many things have I experienced?"
Wu Sheng said: "But it didn't run away, it came here on its own. Besides, my Bai Zhi is not necessarily the Xuanyuan clan's."
Pixiu said: "Baizhi is a mythical beast. In tens of thousands of years, I have only heard of one. How could there be a second one?"
Wu Sheng asked tentatively: "If this Bai Zhi is really that magical, why don't the mountain master come and live with me for a few months? We can explore the avenue together..."
Pixiu said: "Going to your place? Won't you bring me here? Are you reluctant to leave?"
Wu Sheng exclaimed: "How could it be possible? It's just that this guy is acquainted with life and can't leave me for a moment. It's not easy to bring him out of my world. There will be no problem with the mountain owner. Just play with it more and feed it more fresh bamboo shoots." , wouldn’t it be nice after we’ve been together for a long time? I can make the decision and sell the bamboo shoots to the mountain owner at a 50% discount!”
Pixiu refused on the spot: "Forget it, Xuanyuan regarded it as a rarity, but I have no interest in it. He thought that with the white scorpion, he would be able to touch the traces of the great road. In fact, it was completely the opposite. It was because of the great road. Bai Zhi just smelled the scent and hurried away, which he will never understand."
Wu Sheng asked: "What the mountain master said is a true and wise saying."
Pixiu said: "Hypocritical... Anyway, be careful and hide it so that Xuanyuan doesn't know about it, otherwise he will really rush up and fight you."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Why don't you come to the mountain master more often? You can really learn something!"
Pixiu said: "Okay, let's get down to business and talk about the great road."
Wu Sheng calmed down and asked respectfully: "What is the mountain master's path? Is it convenient for me to tell you?"
Pixiu said: "My great road is at my feet."
After talking with Gui Guzi, Wu Sheng had a better understanding of the Dao, so he said: "Money is something external to the body. How can things outside the body carry the Dao?"
Pai Yao said: "The true road does not matter whether it is inside or outside, the most important thing is the extreme. Mountains are blameless. If they are higher than the extreme, there will be immortals and gods. Water has spirit. If it is deeper than the extreme, it will be a place of death. Money is a filthy thing. , more than the ultimate, can form the foundation of the great road."
Wu Sheng praised: "This is called dialectics!"
Pixiu smiled: "It's good if you can realize it." He thought to himself, what does the so-called "correction" mean? Why not become a rebel?
