Chongxuanzi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Yu Xian accepted the teaching with humility.
He reminded again, "I won't hide it from you. Except for the newly acquired Linqiong, I have personally gone to see all of your disciples. They don't look like they can bring glory to my family. You still have to do this."
Keep it in mind."
Yu Xian felt that this old man was worrying too much and he felt so insecure.
I have seen people being urged to embrace their grandchildren, but I have never seen anyone urging them to embrace their disciples.
However, when Yu Xian thought about it carefully, he felt that it was very reasonable. His original intention in recruiting disciples from the beginning was to cope with the disaster, and he was too embarrassed to speak about it.
At least when they recruited Wang Yun, Dong Bai, and Xu Huang, they didn't think about the inheritance of Taoism.
As for Cao Pi, he had no hope of becoming emperor in the future.
As for Linqiong...
It's even less reliable.
The gang of brats under her sect are all ghost practitioners, Taoists. These guys are the most promiscuous. Once they can't beat them, they like to ask the ancestor to get on top of them.
Maybe it will also implicate Yu Xian, who has long since become history, and get beaten across dimensions.
If Yu Xian is suddenly awakened one day like Banlan, then he may have been transformed into something green-faced and fanged by those who pursue power.
Thinking of this, Yu Xian's balls ached.
It seems that even if there are no external enemies, he still has to leave some power to clean up the door.
Yu Xian quickly assured Chongxuanzi, "When I go east this time, I will definitely recruit a reliable successor for our sect."
Chongxuanzi twirled his beard and smiled, "Very good."
Yu Xian asked, "Since master has met Dong Bai, what is her situation now?"
Yu Xian had too many worries before and did not dare to tell Chongxuanzi those secrets. Now he can use Chongxuanzi's power to free Dong Bai from Meilan's control.
Chongxuanzi understood and sighed, "Are you talking about the divine silkworm that lives in her body? That divine silkworm has worked hard for a long time and is pitiful. The old Taoist can't bear to ruin her return. I have protected the true spirit of my disciple.
, once the divine silkworm truly comes to this world, the true spirit of my disciple will hide in the jade seal passed down from the country and fly back to Heming Mountain."
"As the Imperial Master of the Han Dynasty, and with the help of the mountain-moving stick, you can choose a spiritual mountain for her in Shu and make her the mountain god. If you want her to be reborn, there is no good way here, so you can go and talk to that mountain.
Let’s discuss it with Shencan.”
Yu Xian was silent when he heard the words.
Preventing the return of a god with great merit is a huge cause and effect. It is impossible for Chongxuanzi to pay such a high price for an unsatisfied disciple.
It seems that we still need to find another way.
Yu Xian remembered what the old Taoist had said before, that the emperor's daughter once came to him to discuss mysteries, and because the old Taoist lectured on the scriptures, he resolutely killed Qingqingzi. It must be that even if there is no friendship between the two people, they still have friendship.
Why not take the opportunity to let the veteran help you solve this problem?
As the heir to the old Taoist mantle, he is not Dong Bai, who has little relationship with the old Taoist. It is not too much to do such a small thing for the reborn parents, right?
Yu Xian thought confidently, and immediately asked the old Taoist, "Master, since you have a relationship with the emperor's daughter, can you negotiate with her so that her first body will not embarrass me again."
The old Taoist Chongxuanzi laughed dumbly, "The emperor's daughter was extremely stingy when she cut out the first corpse. Apart from her original body, she was only willing to leave a sense of hunger. When she cut out the second corpse, she realized that she had no power except human nature.
Keep. The emperor's daughter who beheaded her two corpses died during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. As for where her true spirit was reincarnated, well, unless all the people in the world are killed, they will never be found again."
Yu Xian was confused after hearing this. Who would kill everyone in the world to find her?
Then, Yu Xian thought of the words that reminded the emperor's daughter, "The reason why I have a serious patient is because I have a body, and if I don't have a body, what trouble do I have?"
Suddenly, Yu Xian's back was horrified.
So!
Under what circumstances did I, who said this, have this experience?
Yu Xian could no longer remain calm.
Does the leisurely exposition of the "Tao Jing" hide a message for a specific group of people? Does the anxious thinking and self-comforting answers hide deeper secrets?
Thinking of all the possibilities, Yu Xian was so depressed that he could hardly breathe.
He thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Disciple would like to know, what else is there in the Taoist scripture that the master read when he was explaining the emperor's daughter's doubts?"
Chong Xuanzi looked at Yu Xian and laughed softly.
Then he looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Being favored and humiliated is like being frightened, and being honored is like being in great trouble. What is the meaning of being favored and humiliated like being frightened? Being favored by one's subordinates, being favoured, being frightened by what you get, and being frightened by what you lose, is called favor and disgrace."
Ruo Jing. What does it mean to have a serious illness like a body? The reason why I have a serious illness is because I have a body, and if I don’t have a body, what trouble do I have?”
After Yu Xian heard this, he thought about it silently.
"Favour and disgrace is like being frightened" is juxtaposed with "Noble and great trouble is like one's body". One word is a word of favor and disgrace, the other word is a big trouble.
Is it a "big trouble" caused by "favor and disgrace", or is "favor and disgrace" itself a "big trouble"?
Considering Lao Tzu's state when he left behind the "Tao Jing" and "The De Jing", what kind of favor would make him frightened when he gets it and frightened when he loses it?
Even Lao Tzu comforted himself by thinking, "Since I have no body, what trouble do I have?"
Almost instantly, Yu Xian thought of the two brothers "Nanchuan Ghost King" and "Bashan Ghost King" who were neither humans nor ghosts.
In order to save his younger brother, the Ghost King of Bashan used the corpse-substitute method to cut off his physical body, and then used the scapegoat to exchange for the ghost king of Nanchuan's true spirit.
It's a pity that even so, the feeling of hunger still follows the Nanchuan Ghost King closely.
In the end, this elegant ghost king of the generation turned into a hungry ghost lying on the shoulder of Bashan Ghost King, only knowing how to salivate.
Yu Xian still remembers the sad smile on Bashan Ghost King's face when he mentioned "the gift of the gods".
The one who brought disaster to the two brothers was the emperor's daughter Ba, so what was it that made people like me panic and uneasy, saying, "If you get something, you will be surprised if you lose it."
Yu Xian didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Seeing the solemn doubts on Yu Xian's face, Chong Xuanzi looked up at the green smoke drifting away from the birds. With an old voice, he sighed softly, "It's difficult, it's difficult. Don't take practice for granted. Once you understand the way to immortality, you'll know what's going on in the world."
world."
Then he said, "Don't ask too many questions, you will understand later."
Yu Xian was startled, as if there were some inexplicable things there.
Then I realized I had heard this before.
The first time I heard this, I was still in front of Jiange.
Yu Xian was ignorant at that time, and only focused on learning the magic of spawning demon peaches. Later, at the expense of his own moral integrity, Liu Yan worshiped the demon peach blossoms and went straight to Jianmen Pass.
Now that I think about it, what Chong Xuanzi’s disciples practice is the method of regenerating spring and regenerating all things. Isn’t it just the practice of growing vitality in one breath?
Could it be that "One day you have enlightened the way to immortality" refers to the method practiced by Chong Xuanzi? Did Chong Xuanzi realize it?
Yes, he has realized it.
That's why he knew that the human world is the human world.
