The blue sky is blue, with white clouds floating in layers. At this time, an airship is flying in the clouds and mist.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can see the towering mountain peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, hazy.
"Matsushita asked the boy, saying that the teacher went to collect medicine. Only in this mountain, the cloud depths are unknown."
A voice sounded loudly in the sky, spread around in the sound of wind, and then echoed back here.
"Junior brother Chu is really very leisurely and elegant."
"Haha, such a beautiful scenery naturally requires a poem." Chu Cheng said with a smile.
"I just said that Brother Chu is very human. Haha, I still feel a little dizzy now."
"Master Huang, you are just afraid of heights."
"Hahaha, the new disciple this time is pretty good, very interesting."
The people in the sky are none other than the Luoyun Sect's group.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Chu Cheng received a notice from Lin Qingrou, saying that he would set off on the next day.
When Chu Cheng left, he only wrote a letter and then left quietly. The reason why he did not say goodbye in person was because saying goodbye in person was the most painful. He was even more afraid of the pain of not leaving his relatives.
When waiting at the agreed place, Chu Cheng was stunned when he saw several other Luoyun Sect recruiting disciples.
There were five new disciples including him, but he knew half of them, and there was one whom he had met several times before. Huang Jinze and Nan Fengyun were among them.
Chu Cheng did not expect that in the small Junlan City, he knew almost all the people who had successfully opened their spirits. There were also two newly recruited disciples. The one he had met a few times was Yu Caijie, the great-grandson of Shangzhu Kingdom, and the other one was
The son of the head of a bodyguard agency in Junlan City.
This actually surprised Chu Cheng. Ordinary people actually had quotas for the Immortal Sect. In his opinion, those who could occupy the quota for the Immortal Sect were all descendants of famous families or wealthy families.
This was actually his misconception. The first thing a fairy sect looks for when recruiting disciples is their qualifications. If a disciple from a famous sect does not have a spiritual enlightenment, he can only be a handyman disciple when he enters the celestial sect. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources?
But this is good, because if you have many acquaintances, you will be able to have someone to look after you in the Immortal Sect in the future.
"Junior Brother Chu, at first I thought this poem was just inspired by your temporary feelings. Later, I read it a few times, but I vaguely felt that this poem had a deeper meaning." Ouyang Xiu read it several times, and the more he read it, the more resonance he felt. It seemed.
As long as you know the deep meaning, you can even break through the shackles of cultivation for many years.
"Isn't it just a poem?" The woman surnamed Huang said lightly, she was very displeased with Chu Cheng and looked at his arrogance.
Not only her, but also the other three inner disciples. The reason is that because of Chu Cheng, they lost four times the number of spirit stones, all of which were forty low-grade spirit stones. You know, the inner disciples can only get ten times a month.
Of the four low-grade spiritual stones, they lost more than four months. Among them, the one who hated Chu Cheng the most was Xie Feng. He had bought twenty low-grade spiritual stones at that time, and according to the multiplier, he had to give Lin Qingrou eighty.
piece.
Lin Qingrou also won a lot, and in total she was short of about 150 low-grade spiritual stones. This is what an inner disciple can earn in a year, which is a huge amount of wealth.
"Haha, Brother Chu is the most talented person in the Huang Kingdom. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a poet. It is definitely not a simple poem." Huang Jinze now admires Chu Cheng very much.
"Mr. Chu, although the young lady knows the meaning of the poem, she really doesn't know the mystery behind it. Please give me some advice!" Nan Fengyun nodded, seeming to have figured out something, but it was a little vague.
Chu Cheng smiled. This poem was a strange poem that he accidentally saw in his previous life. It was also a good verse and chapter. Reading this poem was also inspired by his feelings.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, what do you think cultivating immortality is?"
"Cultivation of immortality? Cultivation of immortality is naturally the pursuit of immortality and immortality." Ouyang Xiu was stunned, everyone understood this.
"The little girl believes that cultivating immortality is just to broaden her horizons." Nan Fengyun said softly.
"Junior sister Nan is in a very good mood." Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.
Nan Fengyun did not reply, but looked at Chu Cheng and asked, "What does Mr. Chu think of cultivating immortality?"
"Broken out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly! If you don't cultivate immortality, you will end up in the human world. You can't live for a hundred years, you can't experience three meals a day, and your name is no more than Zhang San Li Si." Chu Cheng said slowly. "In my opinion, cultivating immortals is actually to take the human world to a higher level.
In the fairyland beyond."
"Junior Brother Chu actually knows about the Immortal Realm!" Ouyang Xiu was stunned. He had also read in ancient books that when one's cultivation reached a certain level, one could break through the human world, ascend to the Immortal Realm, and become an immortal. But what kind of realm was not recorded in the books.
Ouyang Xiu speculated that it should be the realm of transforming into gods, but he had never even seen the Yuanying monk, and he didn't talk about the legendary realm of transforming into gods. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
"The fairy world? What is the fairy world?" Huang Jinze asked blankly.
"Yes, Senior Brother Ouyang, where is the Immortal Realm?" asked the disciple named Liu. He has never heard of this Immortal Realm. Not only him, but the others also don't know.
"The Immortal World is a legendary place. It is at a higher level than the Buddhist Paradise and the Glazed World. The immortals there can make the green continent disappear with a snap of their fingers." Ouyang Xiu is not sure whether the immortals really have such power, but anyway
It's very strong.
"What! So powerful!" New disciple Yu Caijie said in shock.
Chu Cheng did not interrupt, but continued: "Cultivation of immortals is a word of immortality. Fairies seem to be upright and awe-inspiring, but are there people in the world who are still as dignified and honest as before? A pure heart? Later they fell to this
Is this harmful to people? People can go through vicissitudes of life, but their true nature is dyed by time. What most people want is nothing more than to seek immortality, immortality, and coexistence with heaven. But how many people can truly tell the story of thousands of years of vicissitudes, a pot of
In Qingqiu, do you see the green mountains unchanged, but see the ever-changing world? There are too few such people, only those with great perseverance, great wisdom, great opportunities, and great talents!"
When Ouyang Xiu heard this, his body shook violently! He began to breathe rapidly.
He didn't expect to hear such shocking words from a newly recruited disciple, and not even the sect's top elder would have such sentiments.
"I once visited the mountains and heard by chance that there was a famous medical sage in the mountains, who had the ability to make dead bones grow flesh and make people come back to life. After hearing this, Mr. Chu came to visit him."
"Have you ever seen him?" Ouyang Xiu asked hurriedly. He knew that Chu Cheng would not miss words, but had ulterior motives.
"Chu Cheng regretted that he never saw him, only his medicine boy. Chu asked him if the medical sage was there."
The medicine boy said: "No, sir, he went to look for medicine in the mountains."
I asked: "How long will it take? I can wait."
The medicine boy said: "It could be as short as a year, or as long as he doesn't know, it could be decades."
I asked: "What kind of medicine is it that takes so long?"
The medicine boy said, "Do you know Wuya Mountain?"
There is no limit to the limitless mountains. Mortals cannot cross them in their lifetimes, while immortals can only cross them in a hundred years. It is natural to know the boundless mountains.
The medicine boy said: "Sir, what you are looking for is Wuya grass. There is a patient who needs Wuya grass as a medicine."
I asked: "There is no end of grass on the Wuya Mountain. It blooms every thousand years and dries up in ten years. It has been thousands of years in the world, and the immortal can only get one. The medical sage may spend his whole life looking for grass and never come back, so why go there?"
The medicine boy said: "If you have the thought of never returning, then you can't find it. The medical sage knows that he will definitely be able to find it."
"The medicine boy's words immediately enlightened Chu and he realized the true meaning!" Chu Cheng sighed.
"Today I write a poem. In addition to my admiration for the medical saint, it also reminds me of Chu. The path to immortality is just like the Wuya Mountain, and our pursuit of the immortal fruit is just like the infinite grass. The path to immortality is all the way.
The ups and downs are hard to describe, but if we don’t have that indomitable faith in our hearts, how can we last forever?”
Everyone was indifferent. At first when he mentioned the drug boy, they didn't understand why, but later they finally understood.
Just then, there was a roar.
Everyone looked at Ouyang Xiu and saw the sound coming from his body.
"Hahaha! Thank you, Junior Brother Chu, for your guidance." Ouyang Xiu laughed.
The shackles that had hindered his cultivation for many years were finally broken at this moment!
"Senior Brother Ouyang made a breakthrough?" Xie Feng was stunned and congratulated with a smile. But he was secretly jealous in his heart.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Ouyang!" Chu Cheng clasped his fists in congratulations.
"Oh, let's not mention it. Originally, senior brother could have entered the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment twenty years ago." Ouyang Xiu sighed.
"Huh? Ten years? So long." Chu Cheng was stunned. Seeing that Senior Brother Ouyang was only in his thirties, could he have such good qualifications? He established a foundation at the age of ten.
Ouyang Xiu seemed to see his doubts and said with a smile: "I built the foundation for my brother when I was thirty, and now I have reached the perfection of foundation building at sixty-seven. A mortal's life span is only seventy years, and there are very few who live to be a hundred years old.
Qi cultivators can easily live to be a hundred years old, foundation-building cultivators can live to be two or three hundred years old, liquid condensate cultivators can live to be five or six hundred years old, and the golden elixir master can even live to a thousand years!"
"So that's it." Chu Cheng understood.
"Thanks to my junior brother this time, I have been able to untie the knot that I had felt for many years." Brother Ouyang said gratefully.
Xie Feng's expression changed. Ouyang Xiu had already called him his brother, which showed that he was very kind to Chu Cheng. His calculations had come to nothing.
Ouyang Xiu lamented: "My brother entered our immortal sect at the age of sixteen. He was very proud of his talent. He reached the late stage of foundation building before he was even fifty. He was also famous among the four immortal sects, and his arrogance naturally developed. Until twenty years ago,
Once while performing a sect mission, I met a woman."
After talking about this, the woman surnamed Huang understood clearly and asked: "Is Senior Brother Ouyang trapped by love?"
Everyone nodded, that's all. There are many people in the world who are trapped by love, leading to a deep depression.
"It would be great if it was because of love!" Ouyang Xiu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I met a woman during that mission, just because I looked at her a few more times. As a result, she took action, in the same state.
, in three moves, three of my classmates were seriously injured, but fortunately they did not have any murderous intention towards me. Only then did I know that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world. My so-called pride is just a piece of paper.
After that incident, my brother's state of mind plummeted. Had I not met my junior brother, I might not have been able to touch the golden elixir avenue in this life."
Ouyang's tone was calm, as if he was just telling an indifferent story.
In the past, with his proud heart, it would have been impossible to mention such an unbearable thing in front of outsiders. But now he said it in such a light and descriptive way.
This is the breaking of the shackles and the sublimation of the state of mind.
