If a monk wants to stay young forever, he needs to constantly use magic power to warm his body, which will greatly affect his practice.
Taoist Mingxin gave up his permanent appearance and entered the state of pure Taoist heart. No wonder his cultivation speed is so fast.
However, despite the benefits of giving up youth, Chen Xianye still shook his head and said: "Cultivation of one's nature without cultivating one's destiny is the first disease of cultivation, but if one cultivates one's ancestral nature without cultivating elixirs, it will be difficult for a heroic spirit to become a saint.
"
"I see."
Taoist Mingxin nodded. If the physical body is not strong enough or even the qi and blood are exhausted, then it will be difficult to maintain even if there is huge magic power and soul.
Even if you follow his path, if you want to go further in the future, you will have to pay a greater price to rejuvenate yourself. Only in peak condition can you break through the realm of Nascent Soul.
However, knowing this, he still had to do it, and he said calmly: "A person's life is like a leaf, branching out, sprouting, growing, maturing, and then withering and falling with the wind."
"I don't seek immortality. It would be nice if I could experience the feeling of birth, old age, sickness and death."
Chen Xianye was stunned for a moment, but after a while he shook his head and said: "It's okay if you don't have spiritual roots in your life. Now that you have spiritual roots, if you don't fight for immortality, then your life will be in vain."
"It's not easy for you to get to where you are today, but don't waste this opportunity in this life."
Taoist Mingxin shook his head and said nothing, and then said: "I have been thinking about why people are born?"
"Why do husbands and wives love each other so much, have so many children at their knees, and experience the joy of that relationship?"
"Or is it to preach and solve doubts, teach disciples, slay demons and expand the land for the human race?"
"Or are you just trying to climb up, at all costs, to finally become the Nine Heavens Immortal Demon?"
Speaking of this, Taoist Mingxin shook his head and asked in confusion: "Husbands and wives can kill each other, but so what if they run a sect and expand its territory? No matter how wonderful life is, it will all come true."
In the dust.”
"But after becoming a Nine-Devil Immortal and enjoying immortality, what you may get is eternal loneliness."
"I don't know how to answer your questions." Chen Xianye frowned, but said seriously: "But in life, you should act according to your ability and act with your heart."
"If one day I can be married and have loving children, have the ability to open up new territories for the human race, and even ascend to become the Nine Heavens Immortal, then I will come to your grave to answer you."
"Hahaha!"
Taoist Master Mingxin was also amused. A small golden elixir cultivator wanted to ask the reason for life. This was no different than an ant asking the sky. How could he get a reply?
If one day, one can achieve the immortality of the Nine Heavens Immortal Demon, then he will be qualified to discuss these philosophies.
Chen Xianye smiled. He had matured a lot over the years, but he still had an innocent heart. He couldn't see his friend looking so depressed, so he said, "My uncle from the tribe has called you. If you have the ability, go discuss it with him."
These are it."
"Uncle?"
Taoist Mingxin was slightly shocked. There were only three monks of the Nianzi generation left in the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan, namely Chen Nianfu, Chen Nianchuan, and Chen Nianzhi.
Among these three people, the two male cultivators are both powerful and powerful figures in the world.
As soon as he thought about this, Taoist Master Mingxin asked: "I wonder why you have called me?"
"For you, it may be an opportunity."
Chen Xianye sighed, told him about the Jie Ying Dan, and then said: "However, given your Taoist heart, if you can find the Qi of the Tao, there may be a glimmer of hope to break through to the Tao Lord in the future.
"
"You should think about it yourself."
"..."
Taoist Mingxin followed Chen Xianye and arrived at Lingzhou Lake.
When a young man saw the two of them, he gave a slight salute to Chen Xianye and said, "I've met my brother."
"No need to be polite." Chen Xianye nodded, and then said, "Brother Wenyuan, my uncle is here."
Lu Wenyuan smiled slightly, and then said: "Master is playing the piano, but I have been told before that you can go directly when you come."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Xian nodded at night and stepped onto Lingzhou Lake. He heard the sound of the piano, which was like the sound of a fairy from heaven. It had a wonderful beauty of nature.
The ground was covered with peach blossoms. Taoist Master Mingxin followed him and walked through the peach blossom forest for ten miles. He saw under a vigorous peach tree a young man in white clothes as white as snow, with his qin on his knees and playing the qin calmly with his eyes lowered.
The man was like a banished immortal, quietly stroking the harp, with an indescribable charm between his brows and eyes.
Ming Xin suddenly felt that such an outstanding person as he was in front of him would be hard to find in the world of mortals. Perhaps only the immortals in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm could have some of this person's charm.
The sound of the piano gradually disappeared and became invisible. After a long time, Chen Nianzhi opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them lightly, and then spoke.
"sit down."
"Thank you, Zhenjun."
Mingxin bowed respectfully, then sat on the floor on the peach blossoms.
Chen Nianzhi looked at Ming Xin indifferently, and after watching quietly for a moment, he asked: "Xian Ye must have told you about the Ying Ying Dan."
"Um."
Ming Xin nodded and was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps this elixir can be left to others."
>
"oh."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes dimmed. This was the first time he heard someone refuse the reward of the Yingying Dan, so he asked, "Why not?"
"For me, practice is just for the sake of practice, and I have never thought about going further."
Mingxin said this, and then asked: "I have three questions. I wonder if I can ask senior to clarify my doubts."
As he spoke, he informed Chen Nianzhi of his three questions.
After hearing this, Chen Nianzhi did not answer immediately, but just smiled and said: "People with a pure heart often don't care about the things in the world of mortals."
"Immortals are not stained by the worldly atmosphere. They sit quietly on the spiritual mountain and watch the clouds roll."
"This type of monk has no distractions and often practices very quickly, so this is actually the Taoist mind of an ideal immortal."
Saying this, Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said: "But in my opinion, this is just a mortal's imagination of immortals, and real immortals may not be like this."
"oh?"
Mingxin's eyes moved slightly, and then she asked: "Senior, please give me a word."
"There are hundreds of millions of flowers blooming, and they are different every year. There are thousands of flowers in life, but each one is unique. Let alone the Nine Heavens Immortal."
Chen Nianzhi smiled calmly, and then said: "When you see the pattern of a flower, you think you see the whole world. You think that mortals and even immortals are nothing more than this. This is how an ant looks at the sky."
"Thinking about the path of life and understanding the philosophy of heaven and earth is indeed a good Taoist mentality, but you should understand one truth."
"It's like when mortals yearn for the starry sky, they should understand that they still have their feet on the earth, and they need to step up step by step to understand what the starry sky is like."
"If I were you, I would keep walking with these three questions until one day I experience them myself, instead of just sitting in a corner asking myself questions."
