Chapter 54 Seeing the Eight Difficulties
When Qi Wuhu turned around and left, the sea of flowers behind him gradually closed like a door closed. When the sea of flowers gradually closed, the place behind him that was like a worldly immortal practicing, disappeared from Qi Wuhu's sense of consciousness. Qi Wuhuo walked to the old man and handed the jade slip to him. The old man did not show much sadness, or disappointment, and was still gentle and quiet.
Let the disciples choose their own path.
Such a grand and gentle compassion is too vast and vast, and if others think it is almost ruthless.
The palm of his hand brushed across the jade slip, and the two words Yumiao on the jade slip disappeared, but the old man did not smash the jade slip again, but gave it to Qi Wuhuo. This time his choice was different from the previous senior brother Yuyang, and said gently: "Five hundred years later, you will come to see her again and ask the same question again."
"See how she answers."
Qi Wuhuo thought about something. As long as he pursues the path, can he wait?
The old man turned around and left with Qi Wuhuo and slowly left. This time he did not ask Qi Wuhuo what he felt. One old and one young, he slowly walked on the road outside the place where Yumiao lived in seclusion. The flowers bloomed on both sides and the fragrance was fragrant. The flowers had grown as tall as the boy's waist. When he walked this road, butterflies danced and fell on the boy's shoulders.
After a while of silence, the boy asked, "Teacher, is this the Taoist couple?"
The old man shook his head and smiled gently, "Of course not."
"There are many kinds of sects of our Taoist sect passed down, and the Dharma veins have spread out, and gradually there are many sayings spread out, but just like the misunderstanding of spirit and spirit, there are also misunderstandings between the Dharma couple and the wealth. The couple is especially profound. The meaning of the Tao couple is not an ordinary couple. If the couple is a Taoist couple, why bother to create a word specifically?"
"It was originally because of the impermanence of destiny."
"The monks also have to face all kinds of disasters, disasters, life and death."
"The disease is supported by the law, and life and death are the same. This is the Taoist partner."
The old man joked: "In other words, it is to support each other on the road of cultivation."
"The original meaning is to walk together on this road. If you die, I will bury you and continue moving forward. If I die, don't be sad. There are green mountains everywhere. Where isn't the way back? Bury me and continue to look for the way forward. The so-called Taoist couple is nothing more than that."
This sentence was a bit joking at the beginning, but when it came later, Qi Wuhuo felt a great vast feeling. In just a moment, a few words had already far surpassed the compassion of his senior sister. The young man paused slightly, and when he looked at the teacher's back, he suddenly felt that the back was obviously only one step, but it was so far away.
The old man stopped and looked back at him.
He said gently: "What's wrong with Wuhuo?"
Qi Wuhuo shook his head: "There's nothing."
He thought for a while and asked, "Senior sister and senior brother should also know that they cannot be attached to fame. There is also the meaning of Taoist couple?"
The old man replied: "Yes, but [know], [holding the way], [the ultimate way]."
"But it is three different realms."
"If you know it, you may not be able to execute it, and execution may not be able to reach it. The great way cannot be reached by making a vow. There are many difficulties and various tortures along the way. Taoist couples need to go into the dark room because they are easy to practice alone."

"Who said that in the eyes of sentient beings, they must surpass what they pursue?"
"If this is the case, the world will be boring."
The old man smiled and said, "Good good."
He was quite happy and said, "You can realize this by yourself without confusion. This gift has also been caught. If you are a stubborn stone, this walk will have no effect except for alertness. You and I should distinguish you here. Now, it is not the case. You can mention the high ground in your practice with you, which is a perfect word for mystery."
The old man shook his sleeves, then sat casually under two pine trees, on a bluestone, and asked with a gentle smile:
"Can you know if the immortal is unconfused?"
Qi Wuhuo nodded and replied: "Walking in the North Sea and the evening of Cangwu, you can achieve immortality, have supernatural powers, and have thousands of wonderful methods, and cannot be described."
The old man said: "Can you know the level of the immortal god?"
This is the knowledge that the boy didn't know in the past, so he said, "Please teach me the teacher."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "Ordinary Qi Refiners have gone the wrong path, breathed their vitality and spread their spirits, and only knew how to cultivate their nature but not their life."
"Those who enter the lowest level are the ones who are corpse-relieving immortals."
"Although I have three or five hundred years of life, I cannot obtain the great way or freedom."
"Although it is called an immortal, it is actually a ghost."
"It's the wrong path and the end of those who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, so there is no confusion."
"And ordinary practitioners breathe and cultivate qi, practice life, and do not realize the great way."
"Get one method in the Tao, one technique in the Dharma, faith and aspirations will never change in the whole life. The five elements of the energy are misunderstood, and the form and quality are solid, and finally we reach the path of gathering the top of the three flowers. In this state, we can be called a human immortal."
Qi Wuhuo suddenly realized and said, "It's Senior Brother Yu Yangzi..."
The old man nodded and said lightly: "A person like him has accumulated external achievements, but he is too persistent and cannot even be considered a seeker. He will occasionally have good fortune in the future. He will go all the way to the earth to be a mountain god, and go all the way to the Yinsi to be a ghost general, city god, or receive a talisman, ascend to the Heavenly Palace, become an ordinary immortal, work hard and never have time to relax all day, and you can get a pill to extend your life."
"Although they are immortals, they are just ordinary. There are many such officials under the names of the great emperors and gods in the heavenly court."
"In the sky, it is the heavenly official; in the earth, it is the earth official; in the water, it is the water official."
The old man said again: "Those who are taller than humans and immortals can already see through these attachments but are difficult to let go. They have already realized the truth but cannot escape. They are trapped in the eight difficulties of Taoism."
"He was originally a talent of heaven and earth, but he was obsessed with it. He realized it but did not escape it, and he would eventually achieve a small success."
"You can live forever and live in the world, and you are called a land god."
Qi Wuhuo was touched and thought to himself: "It's the current Senior Sister Yumiao."
The old man nodded and said casually: "Although there are many disciples under Yuqing, ninety percent of them are just such talent."
"It's not as good as your senior sister."
"And if she can find out one day, she will come out by herself, and she will work hard and practice to the extraordinary."
"Go to the point where the yin is over and the yang is pure, and it can be the incarnation of the outside world."
"It can gather three flowers together, and the five energys can reach the Yuan Dynasty. In my mouth, I can call it a god."
"In the Taoist sect, one can practice the heavens and earth, and in the Buddhist sect, one can transform into other things and be free."
"Most of the twelve disciples who received the true teachings under Shangqing Sect have just such a climate."
Below the two old pine trees, the white-haired and white-bearded old man's tone was as plain and gentle as ever, but the world and everything was extremely quiet.
