Gu Dan frowned. If everything is true as Qing Pingzi said, then the so-called world of immortality is by no means a harmonious and beautiful paradise.
At least the top level can never be a paradise for you and me.
Gu Dan didn't dare to think about what would happen if he knew that if another enlightened person came, all the paths of cultivation would be cut off.
Noticing Gu Dan's face, Qing Pingzi said: "You have thought of it - right?! Even mortals have a saying, 'it is better to die than to live'. A martial arts master who has a life span of more than 120 years can live much longer than ordinary mortals." What about the young man! Not to mention that after he can continue to practice the immortal way, his longevity will increase with the improvement of his realm. Even if the improvement is not too big, it is still an improvement!
If there is another enlightened person, then one person will benefit, and all the practitioners will be unlucky, and even the immortal path will end! This threat is not limited to individuals at all. Any living being with intelligence will have a formidable enemy after embarking on the path of spiritual practice, and that is anyone who wants to take the blame! "
Appalling!
It is reasonable to infer that according to Qing Pingzi's statement, there will never be another enlightened person in the immortal way - the path of cultivation can no longer bear the burden that the next enlightened person will bring to all living beings.
The end of one person's attainment of enlightenment is not that chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, but that the whole world becomes miserable!
There is no way out for all living beings in exchange for the transcendence of an existence!
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the closer a practitioner is to the end, the more he will attract the attention of all living beings!
Unless you can go all the way quietly without being noticed by any existence, it is possible to succeed secretly.
But judging from the fact that Mr. Ji's attack on Xiantian will cause disaster, it seems that the so-called sneaking is almost impossible!
The last enlightened person has not yet appeared, but there are definitely those who have reached the peak standing on the top of the mountain, deploying numerous means to prevent this from happening.
How could those beings who have lived for thousands of years or even longer fail to think about things that Gu Dan himself can think of?
"According to your statement, doesn't it mean that all monks can only follow the steps and wait for death quietly after reaching their own limit?" Gu Dan said with a frown.
"Hey, what you said is true."
Qing Pingzi laughed, "Many people think that they are the sons of destiny and the last ones to achieve enlightenment. In fact? Martial arts masters have to face the obstacles of Qi and blood and the interaction of the five elements. Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, etc. Nascent Soul. How many people can go step by step between each realm?
Step by step? It may sound simple. In fact, there is a huge gap between each realm, which is a broken road connected by the existence of the past! Of course it won't be easy if the road is broken. Even if you continue up, you will face great risks and hardships! How many can really stand at the top?
There are thousands of warriors in the world, but how many martial arts masters can there be in one country? Of course, the path of martial arts is different from the path of immortality. It is the hardest hit and cannot be generalized. But the higher you go, the difficulty of the immortal path also increases exponentially. Everyone hopes that they are the children of destiny, but only after recognizing the reality can they understand that it is extremely difficult to be qualified to embark on this path. "
Gu Dan listened silently. He had no say in this aspect. The small piece of spiritual stone he got at the beginning was not enough to give him a glimpse of the elegance of the immortal way.
However, no matter how difficult the immortal way is, if you use infinite lifespan to practice it, there should be no problem, right?
After Qingpingzi said so much, Gu Worrying actually believed it - if this was really a big lie, then this lie would be too deep, and it would also coincide with what he had experienced!
But there was one most important question he didn't ask.
"You said that once a path is reached to the end, all practitioners will suffer. What will happen if someone is in the master realm and continues to practice? Or maybe there are Qi cultivators who don't think about building a foundation. , the realm of golden elixir, how about continuing to practice according to the ancient method blindly?"
Gu Dan stared at Qing Pingzi without blinking. This question was very important and directly related to the mystery of Ji Lao's death!
When Mr. Ji tried to attack Xiantian, the majestic Dao Yun that suddenly came almost killed him!
Gu Danke always remembers this grudge.
"Continue to practice? It's a wonderful idea."
Qing Pingzi shrugged, not surprised at all that Gu Dan would ask this question, and immediately said: "Immortal - what is an immortal? A person and a mountain are immortals! It's not that people are on the mountain, but the mountain is pressing down on people! It's difficult! Don’t you want to climb up the mountain? The result is that the higher you go, the higher the mountain will be!
Why does the shaman become invincible after practicing qi? Is it because those Qi Refiners don't want to cultivate their physical bodies? Without him, it can’t be repaired! If you practice hard, the further you go, the deeper the oppression will be! On this path, no one can ever surpass the first physical attainer. This is an indisputable fact. All practitioners in the future will add strength to them! "
"oh?!"
The more Gu Dan listened, the more frightened he became, "What do you mean they are adding strength to them? Are all those who have attained the Tao still there?"
Qingpingzi did not answer, but asked: "Have you ever seen a weight?"
"Of course I have."
Gu Dan affirmed.
Which store doesn’t have scales? He is from Taiyin Hospital!
"That's easy to understand. You can think of monks as weights, and those who have attained Taoism are the steelyards used to measure the weights. The heavier the weights, the higher they will tilt the scales. It will never be possible to catch up with the scales in height. On the contrary, when the scale weight has no weight at all, the scale beam is the weakest!"
Qing Pingzi continued: "The Taoists have left, but the imprint of their enlightenment will remain, oppressing all subsequent monks in all aspects. Every subsequent Taoist must have the Tao before they want to achieve the Tao. Try your best to slow down the weight of the scale, otherwise you won’t even be qualified to challenge the scale beam!”
This metaphor can be described as easy to understand.
When the scale weight has no weight, the scale beam can only be kept horizontal at best, but once there is a scale weight, the scale beam will be raised instead!
But in this case, in order to solve the weight of the scale, isn't it? !
Gu Dan's eyes narrowed, and a great sense of crisis enveloped him!
“The monks themselves have weight.
Since you have borrowed the path opened by your predecessors, you have to bear this weight. At the same time, this weight will also become a stumbling block for those who are aspiring to advance to the Tao. This is the immortal way.
Even if you don’t want to follow the path of your predecessors, it doesn’t matter. The mark has been left. You have to climb up step by step. Only then can you step on the backs of your predecessors and open up a new path again, and strive to become the last one to succeed. Ha, yes. Isn't that ridiculous? "
Qing Pingzi was clearly smiling, but there was sadness on his face that could not be concealed. "Everyone in the world knows that it is good to seek immortality, but they don't know that the dangers of immortality are a hundred times higher than those of ordinary people! Even worse!"
"In other words, if you continue to break through on the same road without your life, not only will there be no benefits, but you will be looking for trouble for yourself, right?"
Gu Dan felt a little bit cold.
Is it possible that the "innate realm" that Ji Lao has worked so hard for most of his life to see at all costs is just a mirror image?
According to Qing Pingzi, if you keep running wildly on a road, it is not a way out to make further progress, but a final leap from the cliff!
"of course not."
Qing Pingzi shook his head again and said unexpectedly: "Weighing weights and weighing rods are just a description, just to make it easier for you to understand. How can the real road be as simple as it is said? It is true that the weighing weights will press the weighing rods higher, but the weight itself will Is the weight of the body not a barrier?
This kind of weight cannot be lifted endlessly, because the mountain already exists there. But if you can drill a hole into the mountain peak, you can temporarily realize the existence of the 'scale beam', which will be of great benefit to your future practice! It's an opportunity that countless people can't ask for, and its rewards may even be as good as the increase in strength brought by breaking through the realm!
That is an opportunity to face the great road! As long as you cross over and become an ant climbing a mountain, you can still overlook all the living beings at the bottom of the mountain. What does a little weight mean? How can the weight of one person be compared to the weight of thousands of monks? But once you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again! "
"What does it mean that once you miss it, you never see it again?"
Gu Dan asked again.
"There is a mountain in front of us. This mountain is indestructible, and as time goes by, some tiny holes will appear on the mountain. These holes are so small that even ants find it difficult to get in, but there is a chance after all. But ants It will also grow and even become another smaller mountain. How can the subsequent mountain go into those holes?"
Qing Pingzi said seriously: "You have to connect the things I said. These things are not isolated, but are intertwined with each other and are intricate. The monks represent the weights, and the influence of the Taoists represents the steel rods, but the weights represented by the monks There is more than one scale to face! Taking one step back means it is almost impossible to look back!
The weight that others need to use is an iron weight. If you insist on using a stone as an iron weight, you will be beaten, right? "
"Been taught a lesson."
After pondering for a long time and finding no flaws, Gu Dan said seriously.
When it comes to these things, Qing Pingzi doesn't show any pretense at all. There is no fault in his demeanor, tone, or emphasis. Even if he observes carefully with his spiritual mind, it is flawless.
Even in order to facilitate his understanding, the metaphors used by Qing Pingzi were a bit too vivid.
Smashing pots while weighing weights and beams, what kind of nonsense is this world of immortality playing?
However, although what Qing Pingzi said was too shocking and completely overturned all the beautiful thoughts of mortals about the immortal way, if everything he said was extremely reasonable and there was no fault, then there would be no problem.
"ha."
Seeing Gu Dan's expression of thanks, Qing Pingzi knew that Gu Dan had listened, "That soul reflection picture is the proof of what I said."
Qing Pingzi pointed to a picture on the mountain wall, which was the picture of the bright moon and green lotus ascending.
Before, Gu Dan didn't know why the blue lotus flew up and the bright moon collapsed, and the thousands of golden lotuses behind him all withered. After Qing Pingzi's explanation, he was able to match them one by one.
"I told you that knowing some things may not necessarily be a good thing for you. It will only increase your worries. The things I said are all facts. Even because of insufficient realm, they may not be enough. Make you aware of the dangers involved.
Sometimes, you don’t know so clearly, who can say it’s not a blessing?
In this life of a person, one comes in a daze and leaves in a daze, waving his sleeves and not taking away a single cloud. Isn't that a kind of freedom and ease?
If you know too clearly, apart from making yourself miserable and losing the courage to make progress, what good will it do? "
Qing Pingzi sighed. At this time, he didn't look like an alchemist, but more like a poet, a scholar who was thinking about philosophy.
"It's not important if you don't know. It's important to me if you don't know." Gu Dan said.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
He didn't have the chance to "take care of the flood after I die."
If you know these things in advance, you can prepare in advance. As for the spirit of bravery and diligence, that is a consideration for those with a limited life span. He can just be responsible and stable.
"So what if I know?"
Qing Pingzi shook his head indifferently. These secrets sounded extremely shocking, but they could only be shocking.
Just like a farmer who digs food in the land and wants to starve three times a day, is it possible that he still cares about how the emperor lives? Is the quality of life good?
Maybe the farmer didn’t even want to live after knowing how extravagant and lustful the emperor was!
"Then the question is, how do you know so much about immortality? Is it possible that you have really seen an immortal?" Gu Dan did not let Qingpingzi go.
When it comes to immortality, Qing Pingzi is a treasure trove, and his words and logic are all perfect, but it is clear that he has never seen an immortal in this world.
Where did Qing Pingzi get this knowledge? There has to be a way!
"Actually, it's easy to understand. Theoretically speaking, it would be best if there would never be the last enlightened person. This is a good thing for all living beings, right?"
Qing Pingzi sorted out his words, "Except for those creatures who have climbed to the top and are even opening up new roads - they have raised their hammers high and want to smash the pot.
Just like Emperor Zongming, who is the emperor, is still pursuing the immortal way. Among those creatures standing at the pinnacle of the immortal way, which one is not a supreme being with extraordinary talents, astonishing talents, and even supremacy for thousands of generations? Compared with them, Emperor Zongming is not even a hair, and their stubbornness and ideas are thousands of times greater than Emperor Zongming!
If we think that we are the children of destiny, it is probably an illusion, but for that kind of existence, they themselves are at the top, only the last step is left - there is still a chance to become the last person to achieve enlightenment! Do you think there is room for compromise and negotiation on this kind of matter? "
Gu Dan shook his head slightly.
If cultivating immortality is compared to a game, then the "successor" is the final winner. Everything takes it all, and all living beings have to pay for it. Under such circumstances, who can believe it?
Everyone must hide themselves crazily and try their best to kill other competitors!
"Yes, those guys live at the top of the Immortal Dao, and anyone can take the blame. But except for existences of the same level, no one can compete with them. So we can only think of other ways to create obstacles for them.
For example, spread the news so that some people with extraordinary talents can know the inside story of Immortal Dao! "
Qing Pingzi looked at Gu Dan with a smile on his face.
