After leaving the meeting hall, Lin Ji took Feng Zhiruo to the study.
As soon as he sat down, Feng Zhiruo said: "Just now in the meeting hall, that little rat looked at me many times, although it seemed that he was just looking at me casually..."
"I know." Lin Ji interrupted Feng Zhiruo and sighed softly, "Now that things have happened, you should finally tell me about this so-called Palace of Eternal Life, right?"
Feng Zhiruo pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"There are still some of my old friends in the Palace of Eternal Life."
"Why, are you still afraid of fighting with those people?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
"After all, I have some concerns."
Lin Ji shook his head and said: "If you continue to worry, when you and I are both dead, maybe there will be no need to worry."
Hearing this, Feng Zhiruo sighed and finally stopped insisting.
"The so-called Palace of Eternal Life is for seeking immortality."
"Why, you people who are hiding from the sky, relying on seizing bodies to live a new life, is not considered immortal?" Lin Ji said in surprise, "You are a Taoist monk with a life span of five hundred years, and you live another life after your life span is almost over, you
Each one of them has even lived longer than the Qin Dynasty, and you are still not satisfied?"
Feng Zhiruo shook his head slightly.
"If you are just living, how is it different from the walking dead?"
"Oh? Please elaborate." Lin Ji became somewhat interested.
"This matter... we have to start with the method of seizing the body." Feng Zhiruo's face showed a somewhat reminiscence-like expression.
"I guess you have heard that although there is a way to seize a body and be reborn, no matter which sect it is, as long as it is a similar method, there are always many restrictions."
"I've heard of it." Lin Ji nodded, "It goes against the laws of heaven, so there must be restrictions."
"Then do you know what the restrictions are?" Feng Zhiruo asked again.
This really confused Lin Ji. Taking someone's body and rebirth is a taboo method. Although there are many people who do this, few people will publicize it.
Even when he was at the Jiantiansi General Office, Lin Ji saw not many relevant records, and most of them were vague.
"Appreciate further details."
Feng Zhiruo sighed softly: "No matter which sect's method of seizing the body, they all reach the same goal by different routes. They use their own Tao charm to cover up the secrets of heaven, and then use their souls to replace them to complete the body seizing... Such methods must be practiced by Taoist monks.
Only then can you do it! Although you can seize the body even if you enter the Tao, it cannot hide the secrets of heaven. After seizing the body, you will be targeted by the heaven, and even worse, one mistake will lead to the punishment of heaven."
"That's why you are called those who hide from the sky. Only monks who have entered Taoism can be called those who hide from the sky." Lin Ji suddenly realized.
"That's right." Feng Zhiruo nodded, "After taking away the body, no matter how talented the body you choose is, you can only continue to practice according to the path of your previous life."
"Why not? Wouldn't it be good to have more time to find a way forward?" Lin Ji was puzzled.
Feng Zhiruo shook his head.
"You are also a day-traveling monk, and now you are even closer to entering the Tao! Don't you understand the consequences of the mismatch between the soul and the physical body? In my previous life, it only took me a hundred years to reach the peak of Taoism, but I was stuck in this state for more than four hundred years.
No progress in the year!"
Lin Jitong's eyes narrowed, and he finally understood something.
Feng Zhiruo continued: "I think that my talent is no less than anyone else. When I joined the Taiyi Sect more than a thousand years ago, my master was the head of the Taiyi Sect at that time. When he saw me, he was astonished. I
He is his last disciple, the real closed disciple."
"The Taiyi Sect at that time was still the true leader of the Taoist sect, and no Taoist sect in Kyushu would dare to disobey! All the elites in the world are proud to join the Taiyi Sect! You can see the leopard through the prism, you should be able to understand my talent, right?" Feng Zhiruo's words sounded like this.
She was proud, but there was no trace of pride in her tone.
"But even so, when my life is about to expire, I will not be able to see the path to enlightenment."
Having said this, the wry smile on Feng Zhiruo's face became a little thicker.
"The so-called method of seizing bodies is to find children with excellent talents... However, among the monks who can break through and enter the Taoism, who is not a real genius? And how can there be so many geniuses in the world to seize our bodies? This so-called talent
The best ones may not be as good as the original talents of those like us who are hiding from the sky!"
"The talent is not as good as in the previous life, and there is also the disadvantage of being incompatible with the soul! Lin Ji, if you had ever experienced standing on the top of all living beings and living a new life, would you be willing to waste it?" Feng Zhiruo asked.
Lin Ji thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
If he were to live another life with the memories of this life, he would naturally not want to live an ordinary life.
Although he is not a person with great ambitions, he has experienced all kinds of things in this world, and he understands the importance of cultivation.
At least you have to be able to protect yourself, so that you don't encounter a powerful person who kills you easily and you can't even resist.
In Lin Ji's opinion, if you want to protect yourself, you must at least become a Taoist.
This is just him.
Someone like Feng Zhiruo, who once stood at the top, is probably even more unwilling to accept the result that he is not even a Taoist.
Seeing Lin Ji shaking his head, Feng Zhiruo chuckled and said: "I guess you should understand the distress of those like us who are hiding from the sky, right? Those who want to live again are the ones who died unwillingly in the previous life. If you were unwilling in the previous life, how can you live now?
?In my previous life, I was able to overlook all sentient beings, but now it is even more difficult to enter the Tao. Can you accept it?"
Hearing this, Lin Ji already understood.
"Can the Palace of Eternal Life allow you to enter Taoism?"
"No." Feng Zhiruo shook his head and said, "Entering the Tao is not a simple matter of stacking cultivation levels and relying on time. You should understand that you must either realize the Tao yourself or rely on the Tao map! We are all monks who have entered the Tao.
Difficult, now I am stuck before entering the Tao, just because my mind and soul are not in harmony."
"So what can the Eternal Life Palace give you?" Lin Ji asked.
Feng Zhiruo's tone became longer, as if he was unwilling to do so.
"The Palace of Eternal Life has a solution to the problem of body and soul being incompatible."
Hearing this, Lin Jitong's eyes suddenly shrank.
With this answer, he finally understood why that force was called the Palace of Eternal Life.
If the biggest shortcomings of those who hide from the sky can be solved, it will not only mean that they can enter the Tao in this life, but it also means that after this life is over, they can seize the body again!
This is not immortality, what is this?
Although Lin Ji knew that every time he took possession of a body, there would be other disadvantages, such as the weakening of the soul, etc.
But in the face of rebirth without any drawbacks, these are just the same paths that those who hide from the sky have already walked, and they are just walking through them again.
"I see, what a palace of longevity." Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.
This alone is enough to make all the people in Kyushu return to their homes.
The person who concealed the truth was once a top figure in various sects and forces. Inheritance, secrets, etc., almost everything in Kyushu was controlled by this group of people.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji finally felt a little scared.
But then, he thought of another thing.
He is the one who is still trapped in the Buddhist Kingdom, and in Tianji’s words, is surrounded by eighty-one bald donkeys and chants sutras every day.
The old madman, Qin Linzhi.
"Wait a minute, Qin Linzhi also took his body and was reborn, but he entered Taoism?"
