The north wind roared, blowing up the snow all over the sky. A huge white crane soared freely between the sky and the earth. The sound of the crane's cry echoed in the vast wilderness, mountains and rivers, adding a touch of color to the cold world.
In the awning cabin, Han Yifei's puzzled voice finally pulled Xie Heng out of his drunken state, and his starry eyes regained their former glory.
Staring at the gloomy Han Yifei, Xie Heng just frowned in thought.
"I dare to ask Mr. Han, I don't know where he comes from studying?"
"Is it to join the dynasty and become a high official, or is it to honor our ancestors?"
Hearing Xie Heng's question, Han Yifei was slightly startled, and then fell into deep thought.
The sound of the north wind in early winter seems to be louder. The flying snow outside the cabin has dyed the entire awning ship into a snow-white color, as if it is completely integrated with the heaven and earth.
A chuckle sounded in the cabin.
"I dare not hide anything from Mr. Xie."
Han Yifei seemed to have finally figured it out and cupped his fist slightly towards Xie Heng.
"Since the students were studying at the age of three, their parents and teachers at home have often given instructions to the students. Students should study diligently. When they are named on the gold medal list and ranked in the court, it will be the day when their ancestors will be honored."
"For twenty years, students have been studying hard day and night, whether it's winter or summer, just to live up to the expectations of their teachers at home."
Hearing this, Xie Heng took a sip of the wine in the glass and nodded slightly.
Just listen to Han Yifei continue:
"However, in the city of Shaanzhou, when students see the master and other practitioners of immortality and Taoism, they can destroy the world and the earth with just a raise of their hands. Countless people, in the face of this world-destroying divine power, can only place their hope in the mercy of Qi practitioners.
The time of heart."
Having said this, Han Yifei's face showed a look of struggle and hesitation.
"In the hearts of students, there have been fears, uneasiness, and even thoughts of abandoning the world."
"But when I thought of the expectant eyes of my parents at home, all the thousands of thoughts finally turned into one thought, which lingered in my mind and couldn't go away."
"Oh, what kind of thoughts are there that even a great talent like Mr. Han cannot solve."
Xie Heng said, pushing a glass of wine in front of Han Yifei and asked softly.
"I don't know, can you tell me something about Xie?"
Han Yifei directly drank the wine in the glass on the table and exhaled lightly. He looked at Xie Heng with burning eyes and chuckled:
"Students have always thought that if immortals could do evil, they would treat ordinary people like grass on the roadside."
"Then what should we mortals regard as immortals?"
"Could it be that the so-called immortals are no longer human beings after they embark on the path of cultivating immortals? Why do people in this world come here after they diligently pursue the path of cultivating immortals?"
"As scholars, what is the reason for reading books by saints and sages?"
Han Yifei's voice was very soft, but when it fell in Xie Heng's ears, it was like thunder on the ground, leaving Xie Heng speechless for a long time.
"Immortals regard mortals as nothing but grass, so what do mortals regard immortals for?"
Han Yifei's words echoed in Xie Heng's heart for a long time and never calmed down.
All along, deep down in Xie Heng's heart, just because he had upheld the ancestral precept of Kunlun Mountain to protect all sentient beings, he would become extremely angry when he saw the human world being ravaged by the evildoers of the Demon Cult.
But more often than not, he was just dissatisfied with the evil demons who slaughtered all living beings at will.
But I have never thought deeply about how I view all sentient beings in this world.
As a result, it was difficult for Xie Heng to fully integrate into this world of mortals. He always had a passer-by mentality.
Even if he associates with human scholars like Han Yifei, deep in Xie Heng's heart, it is just because Ling Lun Gourd once mentioned that this person has great luck and may be used by him in the future.
"Does the world really need gods? If so, then why did Zhuanxu, the Emperor of Heaven, do such a thing again?"
"Does the world not need immortals? Then why is Li Yuanba, the lord of Shaanzhou City, so eager for it? He would not hesitate to send his own daughter into the immortal gate to win the fate of immortality for a lifetime?"
"Master often teaches us that as Qi warriors, in order to comprehend the great ways of heaven and earth, we should have compassion for all living beings in heaven and earth."
At this time, Xie Heng's originally bright Taoist heart began to shed a trace of mortal ashes, which lingered.
“What exactly is compassion?”
"What exactly is an immortal?"
These two questions kept echoing in my mind.
Xie Heng's Dao heart trembled slightly at this moment, and his cultivation level, which touched the Dao realm, was actually a little ready to move at this moment.
In the sea of chaotic consciousness, Xie Heng's self-examination and doubt set off a chaotic storm.
At this time, the innate soul suddenly opened its eyes. The source avenue and the martial arts avenue emerged from the body of the soul, intertwining with each other in the chaotic sea of consciousness.
For a time, in the entire chaotic sea of consciousness space, Tao and principles were constantly intertwined, blooming with mysterious auras.
"What did this bastard do again?"
"This damn gourd is still so unreliable. Why can't you watch this kid?"
Accompanied by the dissatisfied mutter of Sealing Heaven Seal, the bright white light filled the entire chaotic sea of consciousness in an instant, overwhelming the laws of the Great Dao in the sky.
At the same time, the Bagua seal at the foot of the innate soul also suddenly lit up.
In the sealing formation, the Tai Chi diagram rotates slowly, and the bright golden light envelopes the entire innate soul. Cooperating with the sealing seal, it suppresses all Xie Heng's martial arts and original avenue.
In the cabin, under Han Yifei's surprised eyes, the spiritual gourd had flown out of the Qiankun Bracelet, instantly breaking through the roof of the ship and soaring into the sky.
A ray of light fell from the sky and instantly enveloped the entire boat.
唳~
A clear and clear cry of cranes resounded in the sky.
The next moment, Xiaobai's huge body had completely covered the spiritual gourd and the boat below. A surprised voice came.
"Hey, what's going on? Why do I feel that Xiao Daojun's aura is a little disordered?"
"Hey, this kid really doesn't let me worry. I finally rested for a while, but at this moment, I began to realize my true intention."
Ling Yun Gourd complained.
"Now, the original aura in his body has begun to get out of control."
After that, he sent a message to Xiaobai in the air.
"Little White Crane, please protect the Dharma for your little Taoist Lord. As long as he can understand his original intention clearly, his path will be smoother and smoother in the future."
"good!"
唳~
Xiaobai let out a long roar that resounded throughout the world. The huge body of the white crane rose into the sky and hovered in the air, alert to everything around it.
Time passed slowly. From the initial shock, Han Yifei was now used to it. He even felt a little drowsy in this rhyme.
Suddenly, a soft shout came from the small cabin, making Han Yifei tremble all over.
"What is an immortal? An immortal is a human being, and a human being can also be an immortal."
After saying that, Xie Heng rose into the sky, his whole body shrouded in a clear light, like a banished immortal, leaving Han Yifei dumbfounded.
"Why practice immortality? Is it just for immortality? Is it just for supernatural powers?"
This loud shout set off a series of sound waves in the snow-capped sky and earth, scattering the flying snow in the sky, startling countless birds in the distant mountains, and circling in the sky.
"When Xie cultivates immortality, he cultivates a transparent heart, a compassionate heart, a righteous energy of heaven and earth, and a destiny of all beings in heaven and earth."
"Xie cultivates immortality in order to fight for a glimmer of hope for all living beings and to achieve a fair world."
"Xie cultivates immortality so that all living beings can truly have a world where all living beings are equal."
As soon as he finished speaking, all traces of human ashes in Xie Heng's heart were gone, and his heart became even more transparent, as bright as glass.
There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and the originally dark clouds dissipated in an instant. Golden sunlight fell on the world, and a colorful light wheel suddenly appeared behind Xie Heng.
"this……..."
Listening to Xie Heng's shouts, Han Yifei was extremely shocked and even murmured in his mouth.
"Is this the so-called true immortal?"
Han Yifei stared at this scene dumbfounded, with only the ups and downs of his chest showing the turmoil in his heart at this time.
Under the sound of Xie Heng's Dao, the energy of heaven and earth gathered towards Xie Heng. His cultivation also completely boiled at this moment.
"Hey, this kid actually wants to use this momentum to break through directly."
At this moment, Ling Yun Gourd let out an exclamation. Immediately afterwards, a more intense radiance fell from the sky and entered Xie Heng's body.
The next moment, Xiantian Yuanso and Xie Heng shouted at the same time:
"break!"
A coercion belonging to the middle stage of the Touching Dao Realm spread from Xie Heng's body.
At this moment, the Ling Yun Gourd shook slightly, and the pressure suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Good guy, you have broken through to the middle stage of Taoism so quickly. You are indeed a natural seed for cultivation."
Listening to Ling Yun Gourd's praise, Xie Heng's lips showed a smile.
Carefully feeling the changes in his body, he found that his spiritual sense had begun to change in the direction of spiritual consciousness, and the mana in his body had also improved a lot, which made Xie Heng quite satisfied.
"Thank you Mr. Han."
Xie Heng, who landed on the boat again, bowed to Han Yifei, who was a little dazed.
"Ah? Thank you for being so polite, Mr. Sir. Everything is realized by Mr. himself, so how can I say thank you?"
Hearing this, Xie Heng chuckled and said:
"Mr. Han's words helped Xie realize his original intention and find the true meaning of the great road. It also helped Xie break through the shackles of his cultivation."
After saying that, Xie Heng waved his hand, and a white jade wine cup floated in front of Han Yifei.
"Thank you for taking this glass of wine to thank Mr. Han for your enlightenment."
After saying that, Xie Heng drank the wine in his hand.
"From today on, Mr. Han is Xie's best friend in this world. If Xie needs help in the future, he will do his best."
Although he didn't know the reason, Han Yifei naturally understood the weight of Xie Heng's promise.
He drank the wine in the glass happily. For a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled.
