Chapter 276: The Meaning of Living
Qingyun Sect is located in the southeast of the Thunder Heaven Realm, here, the mountains are clustered, and the peaks surround form a natural barrier, and on the periphery of the peaks, this is the place where the disciples of the Qingyun Sect live.
In a small courtyard at the foot of one of the peaks, an old man in a gray robe sat in the courtyard and meditated quietly, this old man was full of gray hair, his hair was sprinkled on his shoulders like weeds, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body looked rickety, this old man was Lie Teng.
"The soul is immortal, I am not dead"
"The soul is the spirit of all things in the world. But, what is the Soul Dao?"
"Chaos derives all things, everything has a spirit, and if there is a spirit, there is a soul" Lie Teng recalled the mantra of "Soul Refining Dao" again, and carefully scrutinized this sentence.
"According to what the Soul Refining Dao says, chaos gives birth to all things, but everything has a spirit, is it, the soul is derived from chaos? Is it, the soul path is enlightened to the extreme, chaos is immortal, and my soul is immortal?"
"But what is chaos?" Lieteng fell into deep thought, and suddenly, he remembered the Great Dao Song again.
"The road is so slim, the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things are chaotic, chaos gives birth to the avenue, what is the Tao, countless living beings are the Tao, the Tao is the Tao, it doesn't matter the Tao, I say this is the Tao, this is the Tao, the avenue is invisible, the avenue is natural, it is the Tao. ”
In the past, he only thought that "Great Avenue Song" was a cultivation method, and when he was in the wind capital, Lie Teng increasingly wanted to realize something from the Great Avenue Song, but it was useless, but at this time, it seemed that Lie Teng had discovered the mystery in this "Great Avenue Song".
"Chaos is the Great Dao? Is Chaos the Great Dao? And, what is the relationship between the Great Dao and the Dao? The Great Dao is invisible, the Great Dao is natural, it is the Dao? Isn't it, the Dao is the Dao? The Great Dao is the Dao?" This kind of comprehension is a bit complicated, and the mentality must reach a very deep point before he can think about it without being happy or slow, this catastrophe, Lie Teng has also been improved in terms of mood, especially at this time, the cultivation is almost completely lost, so that he abandons other distracting thoughts and devotes himself to enlightenment.
Lie Teng found that the Tao was extremely profound and difficult to understand, and the whole world was full of the mysteries of the Tao, just as the Dao Song said, countless living beings are the Tao.
Just as Lie Teng comprehended, a cheer sounded, and the voice filled the surroundings, "Grandpa, Xiao Feng is back. Feng Qingyun, who was tiger-headed, ran over, his face full of joy.
Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes and didn't say anything, just looked at Feng Qingyun with a warm smile on his face.
"Grandpa, guess what Xiao Feng brought you? If you guess right, Xiao Feng will give it to grandpa. Feng Qingyun put his hands behind his back, pretending to look at Lie Teng mysteriously.
Lie Teng smiled gently, and said slowly: "Xiao Feng, these fruits are useless to grandpa, you can eat them yourself." ”
Xiao Feng was not only not unhappy, but looked at Lie Teng in surprise and said, "Grandpa, you must also be a cultivator, otherwise how could you see what is behind Xiao Feng? Daddy said, this is called divine sense, right? However, Xiao Feng has not even cultivated spiritual power now. ”
"Xiao Feng, cultivation is about perseverance, you have to be firm in your own path, one day you will cultivate spiritual power. Lieteng said indifferently.
"Yes, Daddy said the same, but Xiao Feng is already six years old, and he will participate in the assessment of the sect in two years, Xiao Feng wants to participate in the assessment and become an official disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Xiao Xuan, he has cultivated spiritual power yesterday. Xiao Feng pouted, and his mood was also low.
Feng Qingyun's father, Feng Lin, is a peripheral disciple of the Qingyun Sect, usually responsible for cleaning the Qingyun Sect, and does not spend much time with Feng Qingyun, in the Qingyun Sect, there are many peripheral disciples, and the salary is not high, but their heirs have the opportunity to become the official disciples of the Qingyun Sect, all, many of the peripheral disciples work hard in exchange for the spirit stones are for their children and grandchildren, just like Feng Lin, his cultivation has reached the level of gathering spirits but is willing to clean up for the Qingyun Sect, it can be seen how much he has paid for Feng Qingyun.
"Xiao Feng, do you know how long the path of cultivation is, if you can't even cross the country with the first step, then you should be an ordinary person honestly. Lie Teng said with a serious expression.
Looking up at the serious Lie Teng, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Lie Teng showed such a serious expression, Xiao Feng lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said: "Grandpa, Xiao Feng will not give up cultivation, Xiao Feng wants to fight for his father." Must be" Xiao Feng said with a clenched fist, and after speaking, Xiao Feng turned around and ran out of the small courtyard.
Lie Teng watched Xiao Feng leave and continued to comprehend.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the tenth year of Lieteng in Qingyun Sect, Lieteng had been isolated from the outside world, and the only person who accompanied Lieteng was Xiaofeng,
Ten years, did not let Xiao Feng enter the Qingyun Sect, eight years ago in the assessment, Xiao Feng still did not cultivate spiritual power, until five years ago vaguely cultivated spiritual power, Xiao Feng was desperate for a while, even his father Feng Lin was the same.
"Grandpa, Xiao Feng brought the roast duck from Qingshan City, the Fire Spirit Duck." A six-foot-tall young man in a coarse linen robe walked to the old man sitting in the courtyard with a paper bag in his hand on his face.
Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Feng, and showed a smile, Xiao Feng failed to become an official disciple of Qingyun Sect, he could only follow the path of his father Feng Lin and became an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, at this time he was responsible for purchasing some disciples of Qingyun Sect for daily use, every time he went out, Xiao Feng did not forget to bring food to Lie Teng.
Before handing the fire spirit duck to Lie Teng, a voice of reprimand came from the upper hand: "Feng Qingyun, if you delay the cultivation of your senior brothers, even if your family can't afford it for three generations." "Feng Qingyun's grandfather is also a peripheral disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Qingyun's father and Qingyun are both peripheral disciples, this has spread among the peripheral disciples, and even many peripheral disciples look down on Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingyun's face changed, and he smiled bitterly at Lie Teng, and after handing it to Lie Teng, he rushed away, although he had not yet reached the Gathering Spirit, his body was extremely vigorous.
After Lie Teng slowly ate Feng Qingyun's Fire Spirit Duck, he looked ahead and pondered for a moment before continuing to enter the Soul Comprehension Path.
Thirtieth year.
Thirty years was a long time for mortals as well as low-level cultivators.
At this time, a middle-aged man was sitting in front of Lie Teng, this middle-aged man was Feng Qingyun, thirty years is a long time for Feng Qingyun, he still has not reached the spirit gathering period, he has stayed in the sixth layer of the spirit for too long, and it has made him forget his identity as a cultivator.
"Grandpa, try this, this is what I asked Ping'er to bring from Qianlong City, I heard that it is a water spirit duck, I don't understand this fire spirit duck and water spirit duck, you look at that delicious." If it's delicious, let Ping'er bring more in the future. Feng Qingyun said slowly, the Ping'er in his mouth was also a peripheral disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and after the two of them had no hope of becoming official disciples of the Qingyun Sect, they had been in love until now.
Feng Qingyun has lost the passion of his youth, and his whole person has become a lot calmer, at this time, he is no longer delusional about becoming a disciple of Qingyun Sect, but has transferred his hope to the next generation like Feng Lin in the past.
Lie Teng's appearance did not change in the slightest, his hair looked messy, he quietly tasted Feng Qingyun's intentions, looking at Feng Qingyun, Lie Teng said slowly: "Xiao Feng, you still have sixty years to live, you can still strive for a breakthrough." ”
Feng Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and after he took a sip of wine, he said bitterly: "Grandpa, you have been saying this for decades, and Xiao Feng has been persevering in cultivation, but over the years, Xiao Feng has also seen through, cultivation, we must pay attention to chance and fate, perhaps, becoming a peripheral disciple is my Feng Qingyun's life." ”
"Fate, Xiaofeng, when you think that your life is to become a peripheral disciple of the Qingyun Sect, then, your life is like this, but when you think that your life will become a peerless powerhouse, your life is a peerless powerhouse. Lie Teng said slowly, after thirty years of getting along, it was false to say that Lie Teng had no feelings for Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingyun did not answer, but looked at the wine in the cup, after a long time, he drank it all, the heat of the wine made him open his mouth, after a while, Feng Qingyun said: "Hehe, grandpa, Xiao Feng also thought so at the beginning, my Feng family has been an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect for three generations, and I also thought that I could become an official disciple of the Qingyun Sect and fight for my Feng family, but after thirty years, the former Xiao Xuan is already the best among the official disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and what about me Feng Qingyun? ”
"It's so important to become an official disciple of the Qingyun Sect, your horizon is too short, the Thunder Heaven Realm is so big, and the Qingyun Sect is just a small sect. Lie Teng's eyes flashed and he said slowly.
"Yes, the Thunder Heaven Realm is so big, but there is no place for me Feng Qingyun. Feng Qingyun was already a little drunk, his face was red, and his eyes were a little bloodshot.
And at this time, outside the small courtyard, there was a figure standing there, not moving, he was Feng Qingyun's father Feng Lin, at this time he was already a little old, his waist was a little hunchbacked, his cultivation was in the first layer of the spirit gathering without any breakthrough, his expression was a little painful, in the past, how could he not be the same as Feng Qingyun? But in the end, he is still just a peripheral disciple, and the first condition for becoming a formal disciple is to reach the fourth layer of spirit gathering, but, Feng Lin knows that he has no hope in this life, and reaching the spirit gathering period has satisfied him, he pinned his hopes on Feng Qingyun, but the result... But it's not satisfactory.
"Is it?For the past thirty years, you have been running back and forth between Qingyun Sect and Qingshan City, how do you know that there is no place for you in the Thunder Heaven Realm?" Lie Teng looked up at Feng Qingyun, and his voice was raised, and he said in a deep voice.
"......" Feng Qingyun was speechless, after his face changed, he sighed and said slowly: "Grandpa, Ping'er is pregnant, and Xiao Feng is no longer young." After speaking, Feng Qingyun picked up the wine glass, stood up, and turned to leave.
