The question raised by the sage of the immortal way is really sharp for Yun Qing now. Among the several orthodoxy she has come into contact with, no one has ever put forward such a shocking statement that "obtaining the Tao has never had anything to do with immortality". Even if Yun Qing didn't agree with these words at all, she couldn't find any strong proof to refute the sage of immortality.
She could only sit quietly and think about it.
Humanity has always been an attitude of "you don't know life, how can you know death". As far as Yun Qing knows, death is never considered in the practice of walking on the Temple of Heaven. They pay attention to great benevolence and holiness, and humanism has the sage who once said, "If you use up the darkness and govern yourself, how can you give up your life and ask the ghosts?" What this means is that there are so many ways of heaven and earth, it will take a long time for a cultivator to exhaust himself, and living is not enough, so how can there be time to take care of the ghosts after death
Yun Qing felt that these few words could barely be used.
"The way of heaven and earth is boundless, one of which is practiced by death, and Huangquan wants to look up at the sky and seize a ray of life. Your lord saint should not use this to force me to follow this way."
Yun Qing couldn't answer, in terms of realm, she was nothing compared to the saint, so she could only scribbled some words from her memory, trying to avoid the question of the saint of immortality.
But she obviously underestimated the determination of the sage of the immortal way to kill her. He put his hand on the screen wall and said with a low smile: "You are still searching, you don't know what is the way, and you don't know what is the way to get it. It doesn’t matter if you have been alive for thousands of years, in the end, what you get is nothing more than a confusion that is countless times longer than those of ordinary people. When you are enlightened, understand what the Tao is, and there is no desire in your heart, no doubts, then live in this place. What is the meaning of the world that has been thoroughly understood to you? This seat does not ask you to force this way, but only asks whether your Dao heart can bear the heaviness of proving the way and the ease of death."
For the living, it is obvious that death is the heaviness, and proving the Tao is the freedom, but in the words of the immortal living, the two are completely reversed.
Yun Qing frowned, she was completely suppressed by her realm, but she couldn't let it go without a fight: "Then why is Lord Saint still alive?"
The immortal sage seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and replied quite easily, "Naturally because no one can kill me."
Yun Qing really has nothing to say now, the degree of shamelessness of the other party has never been seen among saints. Just now he suppressed her by using the saint realm embodied in his speech, but now he directly speaks of strength. That's right, the question of "hearing the Tao in the morning, but dying in the evening" can kill Yun Qing who is below the realm of a saint, but she can't use this to force a saint who is already immortal.
She was silent for a long time, and then she did not give up and said: "Master Saint, did you not think about this kind of thing before you got the holy throne?"
The sage of the immortal way must have never thought about it. If he thought so, he should die when he attains the Tao, so why would he have the time to stay here to make things difficult for her.
The sage of the immortal way said quite gently: "No, if you think about it, maybe you won't be what you are now. Huang Quan, I know what you mean. You want to refute this seat by saying that 'the sage attains the Tao and lives forever'." It is said that if you attain the Tao, you will perish', but who told you that the path that the saint walks is the right one?"
Yun Qing felt that every word of the Immortal Saint in the short interview carried a subversive meaning, and she was hit by his last sentence before she even had time to recollect his previous sentence.
"Maybe, our saints are just people who have gone the wrong way, and this wrong way has continued for decades...?" His voice passed through the screen wall, clear and calm, and his tone was light. Not half a minute of ups and downs.
In these few words on the Tao, the sages of the immortal way first downgraded the "longevity" that all practitioners thought to be invincible to "permanent confusion and hardship", and then called those saints who were at the peak of the ascetics "" People who have gone the wrong way... At this moment, Yun Qing couldn't help but wonder if there was any other way out besides becoming a saint, but she immediately felt a chill in her heart, now is not the time to consider whether his words are right or not, she We should first find a way to get out of this eternally unsolvable argument.
"I haven't certified the holy position, so naturally I don't know whether this path is right or wrong..." Yun Qing felt that he couldn't be entangled by him, so she immediately tried a way to change the topic.
But the sage of the immortal way interrupted her quickly and accurately: "I have already certified the holy position, and now I tell you that it is wrong."
Yun Qing was stuck again, the discussion with the sage of immortality was the most uncomfortable of all the conversations she had experienced so far. Although the minds of the saints of the devil way are unpredictable, they are the elders of the devil way, and naturally they never make things difficult for them in practice. And it seems that the saint of humanity and the saint of magic have some agreement, so they know everything and say everything, and they will not interfere with her practice. The Buddhist and Taoist sage had a relationship with her before he attained the Tao, and was called a senior brother by her for two years, so his ears were softer and he rarely made things difficult.
This guy in front of him has been using his own realm to suppress Yun Qing from the beginning to the end. He directly passed the master of the magic way and started to teach her to practice. I don't know how smoothly he does things like bullying the small. Yun Qing finally understood that although a sage cannot directly attack juniors who have not become a sage, a few casual words can drive people crazy, provided that he is as shameless as a sage in the immortal way.
Yun Qing took a deep breath, and began to answer while thinking carefully: "I'm still not sure. For me, I can't make a conclusion even if I haven't traveled the road. But what the sage said, 'If you get the Tao, you will die. ’, please forgive Huang Quan’s blunt statement, the loophole is quite big.”
The sage of immortality didn't say a word, and seemed to acquiesce in her going on.
Yun Qing's train of thought also gradually became clear: "Practicing the Tao, what the practitioner seeks is not just to answer questions, but to complete the body from the soul to the body. What the sage said is biased. Practicing the Tao with death, the spirit grows It survives, but the body has disappeared, which is not considered Tao. Ten years ago, I was fortunate to have a glimpse of "Two Religions Debate" in Tianyi Pavilion. Although it was not written by Xiandao, some words in it are quite touching."
At this time, the sages of the immortal way stopped interrupting her, and instead helped her with an array. The echoing voices in the array poured out like a waterfall, which seemed hearty and hearty.
The more Yun Qing spoke, the smoother she was, and she shared what she thought in her heart: "It was mentioned in the book that the Taoist's words are to nourish this god and refine this body, only to seek longevity. I think the sage is I intentionally confuse 'Longevity and Longevity' with 'Eternal Life' in order to confuse my mind. Immortals are naturally impossible to exist, but long-lived and long-sighted people are exactly what we practitioners are looking for. Practitioners through cultivation, thus Obtaining a long lifespan, the physical body is immortal, and the spirit is immortal, this is the way of longevity."
"Life and death stand apart. For us living beings, death is an absolute evil. Perfect and perfect people should be able to avoid death. If you die to seek the Tao, it only means that you have not yet attained the Tao."
"In this way, the words of Lord Saint can be broken."
The immortal sage withdrew the formation, waved his sleeves away from the edge of the screen wall, and said calmly: "I understand everything you need to know, you can go back."
Yun Qing bowed deeply to him, bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Saint, for pointing out the maze."
"I didn't give you a single word." The immortal sage stood in the shadow wall with his hands behind his back, which seemed unreal.
Yun Qing still hadn't straightened up, she thanked calmly and sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Saint, for asking, Huang Quan had offended me a lot before, and I regret the matter of Ling Feizi now."
"Yeah." The sage of the immortal way still had a lukewarm look, "You understand what Sheng Tianxiang asked you to come here, and you got the answer to what you asked for, and you have figured out the answer yourself. Alright, let's go."
"Then Huang Quan will bid farewell." At this time, Yun Qing had learned how to treat Tian Dao and those who heard Dao before her with humility. Only by lowering your posture can you learn more from it, and you will be stronger than everything in the end.
The sage of immortality asked three questions in total, "why do you seek the Tao", "what is the Tao you seek", and "what does it mean to obtain the Tao".
These three questions must be faced by every ascetic. They are the foundation of practice and the beginning of the path. Yun Qing's xinxing cultivation has never been bad, and she is quite clear about the first two questions now, that is, "meaning Qingyun" and "Yan Mo's way". Only the latter one, only after a practitioner has clarified the standard of "obtaining the Tao" can he work hard in this direction. Yun Qing obviously has a little unclear understanding of this matter.
She knows why she cultivates Taoism and what Taoism she wants to cultivate, but she doesn't know how to obtain Taoism, which is why she has a mental block. She knows the magnificent goal, but she can't see how to reach it. At this time, she will feel her own weakness, so she has anxiety, confusion, doubt, and all kinds of vain and meaningless emotions. In the final analysis, this is the source of her murderous intention towards Amon.
The sage of the magic way sacrificed Zong Wushen in exchange for not only Yun Qing's life, but also a chance for her to ask Yu Xian. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and perhaps what the sage of the devil way can't point out, can be done by the sage of the fairy way.
Yun Qing came out of the Tongtian Divine Vein, and without saying goodbye to Xie Yao, she flew directly from Beihai to Beichuan Continent. The power of Yan Mo's holy body was enough for her to run unimpeded in the wind. Li Feng roared ferociously in her ears, but her heart was completely silent.
The Great Teleportation Formation of the Demon Dao spreads all over the Beichuan Continent, and it has been increasing in recent years. Yun Qing has the jade slip personally refined by the Sect Master of the Extreme Hell Sect, every change of the Great Teleportation Formation will be clearly reflected on it, and she can even know who used the Great Teleportation Formation at what time.
She has been cultivating in the Underworld of the North Sea for ten years, and she doesn't know how the war outside has developed. Judging by the number of the Great Teleportation Formation, it is likely that the Wuhuang Demon Realm wants to attack the Beichuan Continent. But Yun Qing still can't take care of this for the time being, what she has to do is to return to the sect immediately, and then realize what she has gained so far, and try to go further.
If what the sages of the immortal way said "the holy position is wrong" is true, then their fate may have already been set, and this era will only belong to Yun Qing's generation.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing soon crossed the rippling Beihai and came to Beichuan, the vast world. The dynasty on this continent has gone through countless years of ups and downs, and is deeply trapped in the turmoil of the world. Ning Day.
In the preface of the Spring and Autumn Dynasties, when the cold and heat overlap, when the insignificant people feel that all things are changing, and their bodies are going to decline, they start to try to understand the way of heaven and transcend life and death. But there are really very few people who can complete this path, and most of the cultivators are just wiped out in the mortal world.
If there is only a thread of life, Yun Qing hopes that the person who catches it is herself.
