In the blink of an eye, Qingyang had been staying at Qinglong Temple for two months. Old Taoist Songhe was already angry and insisted on letting Qingyang leave. At this time, Qingyang also knew that it was impossible for him not to leave, and not only his master could not explain it.
, there is also something waiting for me at Qingfeng Palace.
At this time, there is less than half a year left before the trial of Chaos Demon Valley. From Xiping Mansion to Qingfeng Palace, it will take two months just to travel, not to mention that I still have a lot of preparation work to do after returning. Trial of Chaos Demon Valley II
It only happens once every ten years. If you miss this trial and the Demon-Seeking Order is wasted, you may not have another chance in this life.
In desperation, Qingyang could only choose to leave Qinglong Mountain in the near future and return to Qingfeng Palace. After that, Qingyang handed over all the longevity pills he had refined with the petals and nectar of ten thousand year red flowers to Songhe Old Taoist, and left behind
Lots of spirit wine and pollen and nectar collected by alcoholic bees.
The more Qingyang behaved like this, the more irritable Master Songhe became. On the day Qingyang left, he and the old monk Kongji were the only ones seeing him off. They didn't say anything else. They just stared at Qingyang and said, "Don't do it again."
If you come back again, I will not recognize you as my disciple."
Qingyang knew that everything the master did was for his own good, but looking into the eyes of the master, Qingyang also understood that the master had made up his mind and he could not change it. If he left this time, it would probably be a life-or-death separation.
We will never see each other again.
Qingyang kowtowed three times to the old Taoist Songhe, stood up, but could not turn around and leave. Master Kongji next to him suddenly sighed and said, "Are you still unable to let go?"
"Yes." Qingyang nodded heavily.
"Birth, old age, illness and death are natural processes. Everyone has to experience joys and sorrows. At your age, can you still not look away?" Master Kongji said.
Qingyang raised his head and said: "I have been thinking about a question these days. People are born, old, sick and die, and things have joys and sorrows. No matter what I have experienced, it will all be in vain in the end. So what is the purpose of my cultivation of immortality, and what is the goal that I have spent all my energy pursuing?
What is it? What have I gained? In the end, after cultivating immortality, I will only live longer and be stronger than others, but I still cannot escape the restrictions of heaven, and I will eventually turn into a handful of loess. Since the result
It’s all in vain and I can’t get anything, so why should I go through these twists and turns?”
Master Kongji said: "There are tens of thousands of people in the world. Some people work hard but have no food and clothing. Some people have wealth and power but are still dissatisfied. Some people live in temples and tremble in fear. Some people live in the mountains and rivers in depression.
Unhappy, but these people are living well, why?"
Yes, why? People who don’t have enough food and clothing know that life is difficult but they still live strong. Why do they still feel dissatisfied when they have wealth and power? Why should they be trembling when they live in temples? Shouldn’t living in the mountains and rivers be contented? Because they still have something in their hearts.
Persistence, goals, and pursuits. Life is hard but you have parents to support you, you have wealth and power but you want a wife and concubine, you live in a temple but you want to go to a higher level, you live in the mountains and rivers but you still can't let go of worldly things.
Master Kongji looked at Qingyang with his eyes, his eyes were full of wisdom, and his old face was kind, and he said slowly: "People's hearts are dissatisfied, not to mention that the emptiness you are talking about is just the emptiness you see now.
, you haven’t reached the end, how do you know the end is empty?”
If you haven't reached the end, how do you know that the end is empty? Yes, what I see now is just the sky above my head, but if I walk out of this sky, will I still see the same thing? I remember when I was following Master when I was a child,
How can I know what cultivating immortality is when I wander around the world every day? But later I came into contact with cultivating immortals, and I realized that this world is so magical. Is cultivating immortality the end?
Using the current perspective, saying that the end is empty is like a frog in a well saying that the sky is only the size of the wellhead. Only when you step out of this sky can you be qualified to say whether the sky is big or small.
No one has reached the end, and no one knows how far they can go. Maybe they can go out, maybe they will eventually fall on the road, but even if they don’t succeed in the end, they have worked hard, right? Is this pursuit of
Isn’t the process important?
Cultivation of immortality is an act against nature, and it is an extremely difficult thing. You must have firm confidence and unyielding perseverance, set your sights on the goal, and move forward without any hesitation or flinching. I have just reached the stage of refining my Qi.
There is no goal on the third floor, how can we go far?
As Master Jingkong said, he was really troubled by demons during this period. Because he had longed for his master for a long time, he unknowingly had inner demons. After meeting Master Songhe, he was almost taken advantage of by his inner demons.
I thought that at this last moment, I was awakened by Master Kongji.
Now that he has embarked on this road, there is no time to look back and he must keep going forward. Thinking of this, Qingyang suddenly turned around and strode down the mountain.
Looking at Qingyang's back, Taoist Songhe's eyes were misty. He didn't know whether he was sad because his disciple left, or he was happy because of Qingyang's sudden enlightenment.
After a long time, Master Songhe came back to his senses, casually touched his eyes with his sleeves, then patted Master Kongji next to him, and laughed and said: "Hahahaha...Old monk Kongji, you can still speak, this time it counts."
Master Tao, I owe you a favor, and I will let you choose for a long time after I return."
Qingyang walked down the mountain step by step on the stone steps. With every step he took, his aura would increase. By the time he finished walking the thousands of stone steps, Qingyang's aura was completely different from before. Even
The whole person's temperament has a touch of firmness and a touch of calmness.
The moment Qingyang turned around and left, he had an epiphany, figured out many things, realized many truths, and strengthened his heart to follow the Tao. The knot in his heart was no longer there, his state of mind was broken through, and his cultivation level reached the third level of Qi Refining.
Breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining is a matter of course.
At this time, it was less than half a year before the trial in Chaos Demon Valley. Qingyang originally thought that before the trial, he would not be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi refining. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, he had an epiphany. Although the third level of Qi refining
There is only a small realm difference from the fourth level of Qi refining, but across the early stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining, there is still a big difference in strength.
Others are at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but I am only at the third level of Qi Refining. What can I do if I enter Chaotic Demon Valley? On the surface, the disciples of the Immortal Sect are peaceful, but secretly they are full of competition. Others are at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
I can't even get the Demon Seeking Token, but I can get it even though I'm at the third level of Qi Refining. How can I not arouse others' jealousy? Maybe someone is plotting against me secretly.
