The moment he pulled away, Shen Lian had no doubt that he had lost an opportunity, which might even allow him to prove Taiyi.
At this stage, there will be no mistakes in his sense of realm breakthrough, but for Shen Lian, the loss of an opportunity also means less trouble.
He had enough trouble and didn't want any more.
Without this trouble, Shen Lian's heart, which was originally like a bright mirror, seemed to be brighter. The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand, which should be brushed diligently at all times to prevent it from attracting dust.
Even now, the Taoist heart still needs to be tempered from time to time before it can reach the most perfect stage of being flawless. As for achieving the goal of "originally nothing, don't let it stir up dust", it can only be achieved by tempering the Taoist mind to the most perfect state. There is no need to practice before it can be achieved.
After all, the 'Tao' needs to be understood, and even more so, it needs to be confirmed.
Not proving it is not enough to be the 'Tao', it is just empty talk. Otherwise, why would the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng, who said, "There is nothing originally, let it stir up dust", have to descend into the mortal world and experience the world of mortals.
The Zimu River continued to flow, and the big trees in the river were motionless. However, due to the cold atmosphere, the branches and leaves became more and more green, and Chen Jing, who was talking with Shen Lian on the trunk, also noticed it.
She couldn't understand the subtle changes in the vitality between heaven and earth just now, but the big tree could. Just like the east wind blowing overnight, thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees. As a big spiritual tree, it naturally has this kind of sensitivity.
An imperceptible light and shadow merged into Shen Lian's body, and the separated form and spirit returned. Because of the insight just now, there was something different about him. Of course, others couldn't see anything.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "How about we go back to Xiliang City."
Chen Jing said: "Okay, it's suddenly a bit cold. Don't let Ke'er freeze."
Li Yuanliang would not object. Fortunately, his uncle arrived in time today, otherwise he would not only be in danger, but also live up to his trust.
When they were about to leave, suddenly a little girl's voice sounded, delicate and tender.
"Chief Immortal, little demon, can I ask you something?"
Chen Jing was suddenly startled, Li Yuanliang looked solemn, but Shen Lian seemed unaware and just looked at the source of the sound.
On the tree trunk next to her, stood a little girl, wearing a skirt the same color as the leaves, like a fresh flower bud, with pursed lips and a beautiful expression.
Shen Lian said leisurely: "The most difficult person in the world to become enlightened is the elves of plants and trees. After all, if you show a spirit body to others, it will be a disaster for you. You have just condensed the spirit body. You should be cautious. Why risk your life to come out to see me?" "
He did not tell lies. Once the plant elves give birth to spiritual bodies, they have the potential to become the legendary elixir of immortality. It is natural for them to be coveted by practitioners.
Therefore, there are very few grass and tree elves who dare to show their spiritual bodies. After all, there are countless plants and trees with a little spirituality, and only one among them can give birth to a spiritual body.
This big tree actually has the conditions to condense a spirit body, but due to the thin vitality near Xiliang, it is always unable to take the last step. Just now it was infected by the cold and mysterious netherworld yin energy, and it has just crossed the barrier and formed a spirit body. , from then on, it can slowly move its original body, find a more secret place, and wait for the catastrophe of transformation. Of course, this waiting time must be at least a hundred years. Once it is discovered during this period, the path to enlightenment will almost be cut off. hope. Or gather the essence of a body together and finally entrust it to the spirit body, just like what Taoist priest Liu Mengde's predecessor originally planned.
And just like the sycamore tree in Diqiu, the opportunity to have Shen Lian's help to integrate one's spirituality into flesh and blood and become a human being is a rare opportunity in a lifetime.
After all, the spirit is not as fragile as the spirit body. Except for the power of gods, there is no need to think about integrating it into the flesh and blood intact and regenerating it.
"The Immortal's Dao Qi is pure and pure, so he cannot be an evil demon. Moreover, opportunities are rare. The little demon doesn't want to miss the opportunity. I also ask the Immortal to take pity on me and teach me how to enter the Tao. The little demon is willing to be driven by the Immortal." She timidly said. timidly.
Shen Lian smiled faintly and said, "Mother, Yuan Liang, let's go."
I saw Shen Lian's robe sleeves unfolded, smoke and clouds growing, and then disappearing.
When he arrived at Xiliang City, Li Yuanliang still recalled the pitiful look on the tree elf's face. Even though he was a swordsman with a heart as solid as stone, he couldn't help but sympathize with it.
He said: "Uncle Master, it is not easy to turn plants into spirits. Besides, since she is psychic, she can also make elixirs from leaves and the like for the army. There should be a lot of benefits in taking her in, so why did you refuse her?"
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mother should know why."
Chen Jing said: "She speaks too methodically, and words such as 'Tao Qi Chun Chun' are not like something that an immobile grass elf can say. After all, where did she get this kind of experience, and she The new spirit body does not change into anything else, but she is just a little girl. She just wants to use this to infect us and win our sympathy. All these things do not show her cleverness. "
Li Yuanliang suddenly realized.
Shen Lian said: "Yuan Liang, if you are pure in swordsmanship, you don't have to pay attention to these people's calculations. But your flaw is that you are not pure. You cannot be as pure as your master and Yan Ying. If you want to go further, you have to go through it." The same applies to worldly affairs, not only you, but also your junior brothers.
Next, I will form an army with four elephants, and the four of you will each be the commander of an army. If you have a good experience, you will gain something in the future. "
There are only a few swordsman wizards in the world who can be as pure-hearted as Chen Jianmei and Fang Yanying. Li Yuanliang and the others are naturally inferior to these two. Therefore, even if they have practiced for many years, even if their magic power is deep and their swordsmanship is increasing day by day, it will be difficult to make a qualitative leap. He can be called a master of the previous generation, but to become a master, it is no longer enough to practice hard.
Chen Jianmei naturally knew this, but he had experienced all kinds of things in the world and understood it in his heart, but he couldn't explain it or teach it, so he had to work hard and practice it.
Even so, Shen Lian could only give them one direction, some guidance and tips, and whether they could gain something in the end would only depend on personal luck.
Even if Shen Lian achieves the Taiyi realm, he can't help them uncover their illusions and prove immortality.
However, to have such guidance and tips, I am luckier than most practitioners in the world. This is the meaning of the existence of the Immortal Sect.
Shen Lian then lived in Xiliang City for a few days to make his presence known. At the same time, some of his deeds in Daxia gradually spread to the entire Xiliang Kingdom, and everyone up and down the Kong Sang knew it.
Although Xiliang has not made any big moves yet, everyone in Kongsang is already worried.
Daxia is still a behemoth that these small countries cannot imagine, and how terrifying Shen Liandang, who has been Daxia's national advisor, is naturally not something that any country near Xiliang can describe. They just understand that Xiliang cannot be provoked.
And at a higher level, Feng, who still knows that Shen Lian killed Dong Yi, can leave calmly with the cooperation of King Xia and Guan Longzi. "Three saints in the world, Qingxuan is the first", among those immortal families, It is widely spread among the great demons.
