"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man ......"

There are Taoist people on the South Mountain, such as flowing clouds and water, if you take a leisurely stroll, watch the flowers bloom and fall.

He came to a rock, sat on it, crossed his knees, and recited the sutra.

Look at him carefully, the clothes fit well, fit the figure, and show a long posture.

But I saw that he was holding a sideburn on his head, and his sideburns were as black as ink, fixed with a wooden hairpin.

The face is handsome and the skin is shiny.

He looks like a young man, his hair is as black as ink, and his eyes are black and white, and he is crystal clear.

But the traces of time can't be erased after all.

At first glance, he looks like a young Taoist priest. Look at him closely, like a middle-aged Taoist. Look at him again, like an old man. In the end, it was determined that he was still a young Taoist priest.

There was not the slightest trace of monasticism on him.

There is neither true qi, nor mana, nor the dragon and tiger, nor the Great Dao Jindan, nor the three flowers gathering at the top, and there is no five qi dynasties.

He is an ordinary Taoist with an excellent temperament.

This is the Moral Immortal Sect, the Immortal Daoist.

When Qin Xianyu saw him, he suddenly felt a sense of peace.

At the Qi Refiner, he felt the trajectory of heaven and earth, and felt the traces of aura, and now he felt it carefully, only to feel that the person was consistent with these traces, and he couldn't find any inconsistencies.

The young man changed his previous lively attitude, and when he saw this person, he was quite respectful.

Qin Xianyu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw it.

This young man had never been so respectful when he met Dao Ancestor.

The Immortal Daoist smiled slightly: "Xiaotian, I haven't seen you for many days. ”

The boy scratched his head in amazement.

Then I saw the Immortal Daoist look at it with his head tilted. smiled: "This is the first seat of the ten veins of Zhongzhou Yandi." Feather Immortal Monarch?"

Qin Xianyu stepped forward to salute. He bowed down and said, "The junior Dao number is feathered, and the position of the first seat of the ten veins is undecided for the time being. ”

The Immortal Daoist smiled and nodded, and then said, "Xiaotian, you go play first." ”

The young man exhaled, called at Qin Xianyu, and then went down the mountain.

Looking at his back, I feel that he is jumping and flying, and he is very lively.

"I don't know how to teach you. In fact, I don't have the ability to teach you. ”

The immortal Taoist said: "The master of the real person transmits the message and gives guidance to the Feather Immortal Monarch, but how to give instructions is not explained. As you can see, the poor path is as you can see, there is no true qi and mana in the body, there is no trace of the way, there is no supernatural power, no study of the law, and if you think about it carefully, I have to talk to you about the things of the poor path on this mountain. ”

Qin Xianyu lowered his head and listened carefully. Didn't dare to be distracted.

Along the way, he met many people. I have also seen Dao Ancestors, I have seen Ancient Qi Refiners, and the last one I saw was this Immortal Daoist. Judging from the young man's performance, he was not very respectful to the Dao Ancestor, but for this immortal Daoist, he was very restrained, abided by etiquette, and was even a little nervous.

No matter which way you look at it, this extremely ordinary Taoist is extremely unusual.

"The creatures of the world, once born in the world, will fall from the innate to the acquired, even if the furnace is changed and the innate is returned, but after all, it is different. ”

The immortal Taoist said slowly, "But all living beings in the world, every move, word and deed, will consume physical strength, and even thinking in the brain will also consume the mind. Although you can absorb nutrients from your diet, replenish your physical strength, recover your physical strength from sleep, restore your mind, and subtract fatigue, if you think about it, what you consume has been consumed after all, and what you replenish back cannot be replenished after all. ”

Because of this, the consumption is replenished, and the self is replaced, but it is not maintained in the original, so that the living beings grow from childhood, to the peak, and finally grow old and twilight, until they turn into dry bones. ”

He waved his finger at the flowers and plants all over the ground, pointed to the trees in the mountains, and said with emotion: "Don't say that birds and beasts are the same, it is these flowers and trees, they have no words and deeds, no manners, but they are still living beings after all. So they also have the alternation of glory and decay, although they have no manners, no words and deeds, delaying the replacement, and can live for thousands of years, but in the end they will also grow old and decay, and return to dust. ”

"Even if you are a cultivator, or even an immortal family who has attained the Dao, you can have true qi mana to nourish yourself and prolong your life, but you can't compete with the passage of time and your own replacement. ”

"It is said that those who cultivate the Tao and become immortals can live forever, and the immortals are immortal, but the word immortality is to live long after all, but not to live forever. ”

This person didn't play any mysteries, and there were no twists and turns, and he got straight to the point from the beginning.

Qin Xianyu seemed to have opened a door in front of him.

Enlightened.

For these, in fact, they have been recorded in the Taoist book for a long time. ”

The Immortal Daoist said slowly: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. ”

Every word and deed, every action, consumes physical strength, but what is replenished through diet or practice will eventually make up for the shortage. Therefore, there will be a change of self, and each moment will be different, so that the living beings will grow old and even decay one day.

He looked at Qin Xianyu and asked earnestly and sincerely, "The so-called cultivation path, what kind of path is cultivation?"

Qin Xianyu was slightly stunned.

He asked, "What is the Word?"

Qin Xianyu pondered silently.

"Where does the Tao come from?"

"Hongmeng Chaos, why is there heaven and earth born in Hongmeng Chaos?"

"Beyond the starry sky, between the universe, how can there be endless things?"

"Where does everything come from? From nothingness, where is everything born? Since it is nothingness, how can there be an opportunity to give birth to everything, where does the opportunity come from?"

Just as Qin Xianyu was in deep thought, he saw the Immortal Daoist smile slightly: "Actually, you don't have to think too complicated, the so-called cultivation is nothing more than cultivating the original self, and the so-called original self is me." ”

"Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the poor way. ”

"If it's not a poor way, what kind of way is it?"

The Taoist smiled, light and light, without the feeling of heaviness of the avenue.

Qin Xianyu buzzed in his mind.

No wonder there is no trace of cultivation in this person, but it is in line with the trajectory of the avenue and the charm of the aura.

For he is the Word!

Qin Xianyu's eyes were blank, and it was difficult to react.

"Poor Taoist practice, do not seek to become immortals. Don't seek mana. Do not seek to suppress the past and the present. All that is sought is immortality. ”

The Immortal Daoist smiled slightly: "Although the poor Dao cultivates day and night, his body is powerless, and he has no true qi, and in the end, he is just maintaining this physical body." I maintain my physical body in the same way as it was back then, and whenever I cultivate a wisp of true qi, I use it to replenish my own wear and tear, and over time. The body is not old, and this body is not dead. ”

Qin Xianyu only felt a slight sense of horror at what he heard in his ears.

"All beings in the world think that the higher the cultivation, the longer the longevity, so they practice with their hearts and improve their realm and Taoism. However, they forget that the higher the Tao, the more extraordinary they are, and they want to keep themselves unchanged. Indeed, it is extremely difficult. ”

Therefore, the poor Tao did not remain in the body, but only practiced the Tao in one body. They are all devoted to maintaining themselves, so that they will not be replaced, there is no aging, and they will always stop at the time of the year. ”

The Immortal Daoist said: "The Poor Dao has survived for 8,700 years so far, and has lived for a long time, and if there is no accident, it may be able to live for a long time in the future." ”

The earth immortals, the first five hundred years old, Jin Dan every push, can increase the life span of more than 100.

The Taoist Ancestor is two thousand three hundred years old.

Immortal Sage, three thousand three hundred years old.

And this one has lived to be eight thousand seven or eight years old.

Between heaven and earth, I am afraid that he has the highest lifespan.

The so-called cultivation of the Tao does not necessarily mean that it is the way of heaven, but it can also cultivate its own way.

Do not seek to feather and soar, but seek eternal residence.

"Moral Immortal Sect, throughout the ages, there is no shortage of immortal Taoists, but immortality is not eternal life after all. ”

He sighed softly, "The body can be maintained, the mind can be peaceful, but if I can write things down, it cannot be eternal." ”

Qin Xianyu had doubts.

I only heard this Taoist say, "Is there the same flower in heaven and earth?"

Qin Xianyu shook his head and said, "No." ”

The Taoist asked again, "Is there the same person in heaven and earth?"

Qin Xianyu said: "No." ”

The Taoist asked again, "Are you you?"

Qin Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I am naturally me." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

The question and answer finally made the man laugh, and he asked, "Are you the same as you were when you were young?"

Qin Xianyu frowned and said, "It's different." ”

The Taoist asked, "Are you the same as you will be in the future?"

Qin Xianyu said: "It's different. ”

When I was young, I was young after all, and now I have gone through cultivation and is close to the earth immortals, which is not more than before. In the future, when you experience things, you will be able to grow, and after you practice, your path will increase, and your future self will not be the person you are today.

The Taoist asked, "You at this moment, but you before are the same?"

Qin Xianyu was silent for a long time before he said, "It's different." ”

Just now he decided that he was himself, and he was sure of it. However, at this moment, there was hesitation.

There is a change in my heart, and I am no longer the right person, but the current one.

"Exactly. The immortal Taoist sighed and said, "The physical body can be maintained, but I have experienced the things of the world after all, although I have been in seclusion, but I am familiar with this path, I know you as a person, and every moment is different. ”

"The traces of time can be erased from the body, but the things that are written down, in the mind and soul, are another trace of the years. ”

"Therefore, the immortal Taoist can only live forever, and he cannot live forever. ”

He sighed and said, "Over the past few years of the Daode Immortal Sect, there have not been many people who have taken this path of immortality, but it is not eternal life after all. ”

Qin Xianyu closed his eyes slightly, and sighed in a low voice: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency if there is more than is lost. ”

Even an Immortal Dao person can't escape this law of heaven and earth.

He suddenly thought about the words of the two people who had spoken before him.

What is the meaning of life in the world, since it will eventually return to dust?

In order to live forever, the immortal Taoist cultivates wholeheartedly, but he has never experienced the grievances and hatreds of the world, joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, he sits in the mountains, only seeking immortality, but after all, he cannot live forever, and in the end it is empty, what is the meaning of this?

The Immortal Daoist laughed in a low voice: "Poor Dao has said a lot today, and it is a little consumed, so it is time to practice and make up for the consumption." Please come down the mountain......"

Qin Xianyu still had many doubts in his heart, and when he heard that the Immortal Daoist had given an order to expel guests, he bowed down and gave a salute.

Eight thousand seven or eight years old, immortal Taoist.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked up.

The Immortal Daoist seemed to know the doubts in his heart, and said: "Xiaotian is what I watched grow up, he is the heart of a child, everything is not in his heart, and he can always erase the traces after anything, in fact, this kind of person with the heart of a child, if he can practice the Immortal Dao Technique, he may be able to gain eternal life." Because they are innocent hearts, nothing can leave a mark on their hearts. But the heart of a child, after all, is a child, and his temperament is outbreaking, so it is difficult to achieve. ”

Qin Xianyu asked, "What about this?"

The Immortal Daoist said: "He has learned the Immortal Dao Recipe for many years, but he has persisted so far, and the Poor Dao has stopped trying after all, let him go, and let him practice, so he has already broken away from the ranks of the Immortal Dao people, and now he has a thirteen-inch innate mixed ancestral qi." ”

Qin Xianyu said in a deep voice: "He said that he was not yet eighteen years old. ”

The Immortal Daoist smiled slightly and said, "One thousand seven hundred and eighty years ago, he began to practice the Immortal Dao Technique. But he has such a temperament, he never thinks that his life expectancy is high, and in terms of life, the reincarnation of a hundred years is not considered to deceive you. ”

Qin Xianyu was silent.

I am only eighteen years old this year, and the reincarnation of a lifetime is one year. (To be continued......)

PS: This paragraph of Daode Immortal Sect is impossible to write separately, and there are a lot of things I want to write in it, so I've been worried that you won't be able to digest it...... It wasn't until today that I saw someone say that the author was out of stock in his stomach, and then I thought I was thinking too much......
