"For people like me, age doesn't mean much. ...
Jiang Shanxian nodded in agreement, glanced at Yin Xiu with a slightly strange look, and said, "Indeed! But you are not really 'immortal', are you?"
"That's about right." Yin Xiu said calmly.
Jiang Xianxian pursed her lips, with a complex look on her face, as well as a bit of envy and exclamation, and said: "So, in the future, when Xue Qing and I grow old and become old women, you will still be the same as you are now. Looks like this?"
Seeing Jiang Shanxian say this, Yin Xiu suddenly felt something, or it could be said to be emotion.
"Yes. The life of an ordinary person is only a few decades, and no matter how long it is, it is only a hundred years old. Sometimes when I think about this issue, it is actually quite sad."
After Yin Xiu finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "In the past few days, I have also been thinking about whether this time I come back and enter this secular world, I will add some new bonds and entanglements to myself."
"Just like the old friends I made back then. Every time I think about it now, I can't help but feel a little sentimental and sad. Now, if nothing else, those old friends from back then should have turned into a cup of loess."
"Listening to what you say now, and thinking about it a few decades later, I will probably only be able to remember you who I have met now with a bit of sadness and sentimentality, just like I remember the old friends from my youth now. friends. Alas..."
During the trip to Wuming Mountain, Yin Xiu thought a lot when he saw the cemetery of his old friend Wang Changping. Regarding the fetters and involvements of these emotions, my heart feels a little more heavy and serious.
Humanity talks about birth, aging, sickness and death, and the seven emotions and six desires.
This cultivation is to transcend the human realm and enter the immortal realm. But for the first time, Yin Xiu felt that he wanted to transcend humanity. The road I have taken step by step... is not that easy.
It's not just what he knew in the past, just immersing himself in hard work to improve his cultivation and strength...
This path not only involves the hardships and tribulations of spiritual practice, but also the torture and entanglement of one's own soul.
Especially when I see with my own eyes that my relatives, old friends...etc. are all perishing in the human cycle of birth, old age, illness and death, and eventually turn into loess and sleep underground forever...
These will make your soul undergo repeated shocks, even 'torture'!
Wanting to finally transcend humanity. To cross the chasm of transformation between humans and immortals, one must first be able to withstand the birth, old age, illness, and death of family members and old friends, as well as the torture and entanglement of one's own emotions and desires.
Only when you hone your mind as solid as a rock and remain unmoved no matter how hard the wind blows or rains, can you have the chance to truly transcend.
It’s no wonder that in the eyes of the world, those who have cultivated the Tao of Immortality are indifferent and heartless, thinking that all of them have cultivated the Tao of the Supreme Being and forget their feelings.
In fact, when you have truly cultivated to the level where you have the opportunity to touch the path of becoming an immortal, everyone has already experienced all kinds of mental tempering, as well as self-reflection and torture, and even torture in the face of birth, old age, illness, death, and seven emotions and six desires in the human world. sink…
Being able to survive such spiritual shock and suffering without sinking. Or those who were once sunk, but were finally able to reawaken, break out, and be reborn in Nirvana, which one is not determined, solid as a rock, or can be said to be a 'hard-hearted' person.
Just raise your hand and most people won't mind. But if it involves self-interest. Even when it comes to safety, many times we have to appear 'rational' and be more cautious.
Sometimes this may seem a bit cold to ordinary people. It's not humane.
In the past, Yin Xiu concentrated on practicing and didn't have much feelings about this. However, after seeing Wang Changping's tomb in Wuming Mountain a few days ago, he has been reflecting on many things in his mind from time to time these days.
At this moment, Jiang Shanxian's words brought back some sighs and sighs in Yin Xiu's heart.
Jiang Shanxian probably didn't expect that what he said would cause Yin Xiu to sigh and sigh with some sadness.
In fact, for Jiang Shanxian, who is only in his twenties. She didn't really think about what would happen a few decades later when she was old.
After all, her life has just passed through more than 20 years, and she is in the prime of her life. Things after getting old are really too far away for her.
It's different for Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu has lived for more than a hundred years. It's just that he couldn't have had these feelings and thoughts when he was young. After that, I went to the world of cultivation on the other side of the starry sky, and most of the people I came into contact with were cultivators.
These are the natural laws of birth, old age, illness and death for ordinary people. There is basically no one around him.
Even if he does meet him, he is not someone he knows well. If there is no emotion involved, it is naturally impossible for him to have too many experiences and feelings.
After returning to Earth, Yin Xiu gradually began to have some feelings. Until a few days ago, seeing Wang Changping's grave was a profound experience...
Jiang Xianxian looked at the sighing look on Yin Xiu's face, and felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart. He blinked hard, suddenly smiled, raised his hand and patted Yin Xiu lightly, and said with a bright smile. : "What are you doing? This girl is in her prime years in her early twenties. She wants to become an old woman, but she is still far away."
"You, you are an old monster. You are right. People say that the longer a person lives, the easier it is for him to sigh and lament that he has nothing. Look, I am only in my twenties. , you have already thought about what will happen decades later..."
Jiang Xingxiao smiled happily and freely, with his eyes slightly squinted, like two crescent moons. The bright smile seemed to be amused after hearing something interesting and fun.
The smile on his face was as bright as a flower, but his eyes were blinking unconsciously, with an inexplicable sour feeling...
Yin Xiu quietly looked at Jiang Xianxuan's bright smiling face with a gentle smile on his face. After a moment, he said softly: "You are right, I thought too far. Haha. Come, have a cup of tea first. Bar."
Yin Xiu picked up the teapot with a smile and poured a cup for Jiang Xingxian.
Cultivation is not something everyone can practice. Especially the step of condensing golden elixir is simply an insurmountable chasm for those who are not talented enough.
This natural chasm can be broken through without relying on any number of ordinary heavenly materials, earthly treasures or spiritual stones.
Yin Xiu was able to help Yin Chongwen condense the golden elixir because Yin Chongwen's own talent was not bad. In addition to the rich foundation accumulated over the years, he only lacked enough spiritual energy to make a breakthrough.
When Yin Xiu provided him with enough spiritual stones to replenish the spiritual energy needed to condense the golden elixir, his breakthrough was naturally a matter of course.
But if it were another person, that might not be the case.
Unless one obtains some heavenly and earthly treasure that can defy the heavens and transform a person, otherwise on the road of cultivation, a person's talent determines many, many things.
Lack of talent can not be made up for by so-called hard work, but also by some ordinary external things.
Yin Xiu was also powerless against these.
'Tuk-tuk! '
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the box, followed by the waiter's voice, "Hello, can you come in? Your food is ready..."
"Please come in!"
Yin Xiu put down the teapot in his hand and said.
Then, the box door was pushed open and a waiter came in carrying a tray. When she glanced at Jiang Xingxuan, who was sitting next to Yin Xiu, she couldn't help but pause for a moment and take a second look.
Apparently he recognized Jiang Xianxian's identity. However, she still had very good qualities. She only looked at him twice before looking away, and immediately put the dishes on the tray on the table.
"Come on, Twinkle, Xiaojing, let's eat first." Yin Xiudao.
The food arrived, dispersing the slightly dull atmosphere just now, and Yin Xiu also took advantage of this to distract himself from the conversation.
"Okay, move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks..."
Jiang Xianxian immediately picked up the chopsticks in front of him and said with a smile.
The meal lasted almost an hour. Of course, in the end, it was basically Yin Xiu and Jiang Shanshan drinking tea and chatting.
Ning Yuejing rarely spoke up.
He sat quietly on the other side of Yin Xiu and listened to his chat with Jiang Shanxian. Judging from her expression, there was no sign of impatience at all, and she always looked like she was listening attentively.
Although Xiaojing's temperament has become much gentler and cheerful recently, she still doesn't talk too much. The whole person feels like that kind of warm water now, gentle, calm, and exuding a fresh and demure feeling.
In the past, it would have been as cold as the river water in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
When I came out of the restaurant, it was only after seven o'clock. It was still very early, and Yin Xiu and Jiang Shanshan hadn't seen each other for several months, so there was indeed a lot to talk about.
So the two of them took Xiaojing, Xiaoman and the others to a nearby teahouse together, ready to continue chatting for a while.
Jiang Xianxuan's reputation is not low now. Normally she would be fully armed and covered up.
However, with Yin Xiu here, he put a blindfold on her face, so she could walk with Yin Xiu to the restaurant in a swagger without worrying about being recognized or attracting onlookers.
Speaking of which, before anyone is famous, everyone is vying for it, and they even use all their means to become famous.
But those who are truly famous often feel that they have a lot of troubles after becoming famous.
"By the way, Yin Xiu, you Xianzi made quite a fuss in the Magic City a few days ago. How is the situation now?"
Sitting in the box in the teahouse, Jiang Xianxuan asked while drinking tea.
A few days ago, she also expressed support for Xianzi on her scarf. As for the follow-up situation, she was busy these days and did not call Ji Xueqing to ask.
When I saw Yin Xiu now, I simply asked to see if Yin Xiu knew.
"It's okay, don't worry. Some clowns can't afford to cause any trouble." Yin Xiu said calmly.
"It's okay. I was a little worried before." Jiang Xianxian also relaxed slightly.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else to play, they just chatted in the teahouse. It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that I got up and returned to the hotel... (To be continued.)

I was a little too angry today, so I almost didn’t want to write this chapter. . . . u
