The old man passed by Qin Sang.
Qin Sang turned around and watched the old man walk to the street. Just as he was about to disappear into the crowd, his figure suddenly flashed and he hurriedly caught up with the old man.
"Senior, please stay!"
The old man stopped and looked at Qin Sang who was blocking the road in surprise, with hidden warning in his eyes, "Why did fellow Taoist block the old Taoist?"
Qin Sang bowed his head and said respectfully: "Senior, please forgive me for being reckless, I would like to ask... is your Taoist title Yunyouzi?"
After being called out by a stranger, the old man stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Sang, frowned and said in deep thought: "Do you really know the old Taoist? But... the old Taoist probably has never met you."
"Senior really doesn't know me."
Qin Sang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior is really Taoist Master Yunyouzi? I wonder if senior still remembers Ji Xin?"
Hearing this name, the old man was startled. He raised his eyes to the sky, and his eyes suddenly became long and long, as if he had lost sight of decades of time. He was stunned for a long time, and then he stared at Qin Sang and asked: "The lonely heart that the little brother said, is it possible?
Is this the disciple Ji Xin adopted by the old Taoist in the secular world? How do you know Ji Xin?"
…
"The younger generation is originally from Ningguo. When he was fifteen years old, he followed his elders in business. He was imprisoned by bandits on the way. He escaped by chance and lived in exile in the Sui Dynasty. He was kindly taken in by Taoist Master Ji Xin. Later, by chance, he entered the path of immortality... Speaking of which
, that the junior can enter the path of spiritual practice so smoothly is also related to an ancient medicinal bath recipe left by the senior..."
In a quiet restaurant.
The two ordered food and drinks and sat opposite each other.
Qin Sang softly told Yun Youzi the ins and outs of his relationship with Taoist Master Ji Xin.
Talking about the past, Qin Sang also had a look of nostalgia on his face, looking a little sad.
He has been struggling on the road of cultivating immortality and is obsessed with cultivation. In the past, he never had the time to recall the past. Now that he thinks about it, he climbed to the Qingyang Temple at the age of fifteen and is now past his sixtieth year.
In a flash, it was more than forty years ago.
"Ancient recipe for medicinal bath?"
Yunyouzi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Qin is talking about marrow soup, right? It is indeed effective for new practitioners. The old Taoist method was also discovered accidentally while traveling around the world. It was written by a martial arts master in the Sui Dynasty. The prescription is in
All the medicines used are ordinary medicines, but they are effective for cultivators of immortality, which is extremely rare."
Qin Sang nodded, stood up and bowed, "Junior hasn't thanked the senior yet. I thought the senior was a mortal, but I didn't expect that he was also a cultivator. Could it be that Master Jixin is also a cultivator..."
After saluting, Qin Sang sat down and looked at Yun Youzi expectantly.
He never expected that Taoist Master Ji Xin’s master, Yun Youzi, was actually an immortal cultivator!
While staying at Qingyang Temple, during the Chinese New Year, Taoist Master Jixin brought out a portrait of Yun Youzi to worship him. Qin Sang followed him and worshiped, and met the man in the painting once.
So just now he suddenly met Yun Youzi, and Qin Sang immediately felt a sense of familiarity. He sorted through the people he met after coming to this world, but couldn't find the reason. He suddenly remembered the portrait and suddenly realized it.
According to Taoist Master Ji Xin, Yun Youzi was already in his late teens when he made that portrait.
Now Yun Youzi is sitting opposite. Although he looks older than the portrait, his face has not changed, and he even looks more energetic than the portrait.
Yun Youzi is an immortal cultivator. Could it be that Taoist Master Ji Xin and Mingyue are both immortal cultivators? The little tricks he did in Qingyang Temple cannot be hidden from the eyes of their masters and disciples, right?
When Taoist Master Ji Xin gave him the medicine, was he pitying him for his hard work in cultivation?
Qin Sang smiled bitterly. He left Qingyang Temple in order to find the immortal. Isn't he abandoning the near and looking for the far away? The real immortal is right in front of him, but he can't see the true face of Mount Lu because of his poor eyesight.
At the same time, Qin Sang was also secretly surprised that since he stayed at Qingyang Temple, he had never seen Taoist Ji Xin and Mingyue use extraordinary means. In order to help the victims, Taoist Ji Xin was willing to endure hunger and eat coarse grains.
Wild vegetables.
After Qin Sang bought the rest of the silver he looted from the bandits, he was able to subsidize most of it to enter the Taoist temple.
Could it be that they want to join the world to temper their Taoist hearts and profess their own cultivation?
Qin Sang was thinking wildly for a while, but Yun Youzi shook his head and said: "Ji Xin is not a cultivator of immortality, at least before Lao Tao left, Ji Xin was not a cultivator of immortality. Because Lao Tao also met the fate of immortality after separation from Ji Xin, and has never gone back since.
.Speaking of which, Jixin took in Brother Qin, and Old Dao met Brother Qin again today... Fate is really mysterious."
Hearing this, Qin Sang was suddenly startled, thinking that he heard wrongly, and said in great surprise: "Junior, I heard from Taoist Master Ji Xin that you, senior, were already seventy years old when we parted ways..."
Yun Youzi said that he met the immortal only after leaving Taoist Master Ji Xin. He was already over seventy years old at that time!
Qin Sang could see clearly that Yun Youzi's current cultivation level was clearly in the early stage of foundation building, and his aura was somewhat stronger than his own!
Yun Youzi smiled faintly, "When I was fifteen years old, my medical skills were unparalleled in the world. I was ordered to join the palace as an imperial physician. At the age of forty-seven, I made a big mistake and nearly lost my life. I was discouraged and became a Taoist monk. I called myself Yun Youzi. Seventy.
When he was two years old, he knew his destiny and suddenly realized that his life was short. When he thought about his past life, he realized that there was great terror between life and death. He did not want to be like the withered bones in the grave, so he suddenly thought of going out to look for immortals. It happened that Jixin had grown up and had everything.
The old Taoist disciples learned the true teachings of Taoism, so they carried the medicine box again that year, and walked westward with one person and one stick. Six years later, he met his mentor while collecting medicine in the barren mountains. After receiving the guidance of his mentor, he entered Taoism and practiced Taoism at the age of seventy-eight. However, due to old age and physical weakness, he suffered from pain and suffering.
After cultivating for forty years, I was lucky enough to successfully build the foundation when I was 118 years old, and I paid a price for it. Not as good as Brother Qin, who has cultivated so much at a young age and has a bright future!"
Listening to Yunyouzi's narration, Qin Sang felt like he was listening to a mysterious story. The more he listened, the more surprised he became.
There is a consensus in the world of cultivators that after the age of fifty, the energy of monks in the Qi Refining Stage declines, and the soul begins to age. The hope of foundation building becomes increasingly slim, unless elixirs can be found to make up for the lack, and each of these elixirs is very precious.
And the medicinal effects cannot be stacked.
At the age of fifty-eight, Meng Ruhui was already at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Feeling that there was no hope of building a foundation, he gave up his path to immortality and became a steward in Yuanzhaomen.
At this age, Yunyouzi is still a mortal!
He started practicing at the age of seventy-eight, and never gave up. He practiced hard for forty years, and finally succeeded in building the foundation at the age of one hundred and eighteen. This was shocking, something Qin Sang had never heard of before!
"Junior... I admire you!"
Thousands of words, all turned into two words: admiration.
In a different place, if you are still a mortal when you are almost eighty years old, old and weak, and you just meet the fate of immortality at that time, do you still have the determination to succeed or succeed if you don't succeed?
Qin Sang felt anxious.
He thought he was determined to follow the Tao and was nothing compared to the 'old man' in front of him!
Qin Sang raised the wine glass with both hands and toasted Yun Youzi with a glass of wine.
Even if he is a complete stranger, he is still a Taoist friend worthy of admiration.
