In the atrium, everyone was sitting together, except Cong Zhongxiao, who was drunk and lying at the door snoring.
Jiang Fan couldn't stand it, but he had no choice but to turn his face away, as if pretending not to be familiar with him.
After listening to Ye Ling's narration, the three elders Qingyangzi, Cangzhigong and Handansou said: "You are surrounded by dangers, but you are safe and sound. You are a lucky person!"
Ye Ling asked: "Senior, I dare to ask, where is this Yuanchen Mountain and Qingxu Valley, and why did we end up here?"
When he came here, Ye Ling felt something was different. If he fell into the void normally, he would either die or be injured. What's more, with Ancestor Ji Le chasing after him, he would definitely not be so safe. Now Ancestor Ji Le is missing, so Ye Ling guessed
This place is different from the outside world.
Qingyangzi stroked his beard and said, "Do you know about the theory of time and space under the great road?"
"Senior, please give me some advice!"
"Time refers to the movement of time, and when it comes to time, it means there is nothing wrong with it. Empty refers to the realm of emptiness, which means there is reality but not reality."
"Cultivation has reached the point of being in harmony with the Tao, and the body and the Tao are in harmony. All things have a Tao, and everything has a self. In time and space, if you have a clearer and deeper understanding, and understand the internal principles, you can operate freely, reverse changes and create new things."
"This Yuanchen Mountain and Qingxu Valley is a small world created by the great power of Hedao Realm. It imitates the great road of heaven and earth, but does not follow the track of the outside world. You wander among the universe. You happen to fall on this small world, so
Have access to this place."
When Ye Ling heard this, he realized that he had also heard that powerful people in the Hedao realm could create their own small space as their own residence, which was different from the outside world.
This was the case in the previous Demon Realm. Time in the Demon Realm was faster than that in the outside world. He had been in it for nearly a month, while the outside world only lasted about a day.
Xu Hong asked: "Looking at the ancient appearance of the three seniors, the Immortal Wind Taoist sect must be old people from the Spring and Autumn Period and seniors on the road. Dare I ask how long their lives are?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Cang Zhigong was the first to speak: "
The years have passed without any vicissitudes of life, and the high stems and pure branches are strong and strong.
The lush leaves are holding the rain and snow, and the Qiu strips are gloomy and proud of the wind and frost.
The solitary guest waiting to be seen has never been envied in this world.
By cleverly borrowing the heaven and earth to create good fortune, the hidden path in the lofty clouds is close to the fairyland."
After saying this, Han Dansou beside him chanted: "
Since childhood, my body has been strong and strong, and I can withstand old age. I will look back on my hometown for a thousand years.
The setting sun is shining brightly, and smoke is falling across the stream.
We went to the cold mountains to discuss Tao together, and when we returned we talked to each other on the stone path.
Little do you know that being at your own leisure is true happiness, and you will live up to your expectations and travel with them."
Finally, Qingyangzi said: "
I stand a hundred feet high outside the dust, and my time is wasted in the sky for thousands of years.
The wild green shadows are covered with shadows, and the beautiful whirling green ribbons are diffused.
Uniquely young and beautiful, it can be said that the eyebrows are long and the smile is like the waves of the river.
I have heard about the events of spring and autumn through the ages, and I can’t help but feel lonely.”
When Xu Hong and others heard this, they were slightly surprised. They never thought that these three old men could have a life span of ten thousand years!
By practicing together, you compete with heaven and earth for longevity. The higher your cultivation level, the longer your life span.
Human monks have a lifespan of 100 years in the Xiantian realm; 300 years in the Huiling realm; 500 years in the Qingyou realm; 800 years in the Lingxu realm; 1,200 years in the Yingchong realm; 2,000 years in the Immortal realm;
The life span of a person in the realm of celestial phenomena is three thousand years; the life span of a person in the realm of Mingwei is five thousand years; the life span of a person in the realm of harmony is ten thousand years.
As far as the human race is concerned, the number of ten thousand years is really difficult to break. If one does not attain enlightenment and ascend, it is inevitable that this body will transform into the Tao and return to heaven and earth.
The demon race is slightly different from the human race. The demon race can live up to a thousand years by cultivating to the Green Nether Realm. Each time it increases by one level, it will gain another two thousand years of spring and autumn. When it reaches the Celestial Realm, it can live up to nine thousand years, and then to the Ming Dynasty.
The life span of a small realm extends for thousands of years. Even if it reaches harmony, it will not be increased.
There are also capable people and strangers in the past dynasties who have their own methods of extending life, so that they can remain in the world. In the Demon Realm, the life span of the demons is the same as that of the human race. The Nine Nether Demon Lord was sealed into the Demon Realm ten thousand years ago, and his life span has not exceeded ten thousand years.
Death is an example.
When Ye Ling heard what the three elders said, he recalled the scenery of mountains and trees he saw outside Chaimen when he looked at the thatched cottage, and he suddenly realized that these three elders were transformed from ancient trees. Cangzhigong was a cypress tree, and Handansou was a maple tree.
Qingyangzi is a willow tree.
The real bodies of these three old men are standing behind the thatched hut at this moment.
Han Dansou looked at Ye Ling's expression and said with a smile: "Young friend Ye must have understood the true nature of the three of us. The three of us are transformed from maple trees, cypress trees and willow trees respectively. Qingyangzi is the longest and Laochannian is the youngest."
"That's it!"
All living beings in the world can realize the Tao. Humans, demons, and demons are the three most aligned with the Tao. It would be extremely difficult for the other races to achieve anything.
"Is this big brother Weiran also... a tree?" Bai Wuyu asked.
Cang Zhigong frowned and said: "Wei Ran's matter... When you come from afar, you should hold a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust!"
With that said, Cang Zhigong called a group of little creatures outside the door to prepare food and catch the wind for Ye Ling and others.
Since the three elders were unwilling to tell the story about Wei Ran, Ye Ling and the others had no choice but to give up.
Not long after, strange flowers, exotic fruits, and fine wines from spiritual springs were placed in front of everyone, which made everyone salivate.
Qingxu Valley is full of vegetation and living things, so there is no meat, and it is all vegetarian food. However, these vegetarian fruits contain spiritual energy, taste sweet, and are beneficial to the body, which is rare.
Cang Zhigong smiled and said: "Between the mountains and fields, it is hard to compare with the bright halls of high mansions. There are only some clear springs with plain fruits, but they are always fresh all year round. I hope you don't take it strange."
Everyone present is a Taoist who has long since abstained from food and made offerings to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, it is difficult to let go of the desire of the mouth and tongue. In addition, the rare delicacies and delicious taste are alluring, so there is no reason to refuse.
There is a fine wine nearby, and the fragrance is wafting, which wakes up the laughter in the sleeping bush.
Cong Zhongxiao's eyes were blurred, and he slowly came to the table following the aroma of the wine. He said with a smile: "Since you have good wine, why don't you call me?"
With that said, he snatched the wooden bowl from Jiang Fan's hand, took a sip and said, "Good wine! But I don't know the name of this wine?"
Han Dansou stroked his beard and said, "This wine is called Chunlai! As the saying goes, 'When spring comes, you will be drunk on the willow branches, and the fine wine will make you drunk'!"
"Spring is coming with good wine, let your heart be filled with joy!"
Cong Zhongxiao drank several bowls in a row, became drunk, and fell asleep again.
Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly and said: "A drunkard made three seniors laugh!"
Qingyangzi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "This is the true nature! People who practice should be free and easy, and pursue the true nature. If you restrain yourself all the time, it will appear to be artificial, and it will be difficult to understand the way and realize your heart!"
Drinking and feasting, coming and going, Bu Feiyun and Bu Feiyan also blended into the crowd.
Only then did Ye Ling realize that Fei Yun was a very talented person. He was only sixteen years old and had already reached the peak of Lingxu Realm.
Because of this, Bu Feiyun had a high self-esteem and was full of arrogance. He never put his peers in his eyes. If Ye Ling and others hadn't saved his life, he probably wouldn't have even looked at them.
His sister Bu Feiyan, on the other hand, is kind and virtuous, has a gentle personality and does not hold grudges with others. It is a pity that she has a peerless appearance, which is a disaster rather than a blessing.
During the dinner, Bu Feiyan and Wei Ran always looked at each other secretly. They might have something strange in their hearts, but they never revealed it.
Ye Ling looked at it with a smile on his lips, and then thought of Lian'er who died, and Lu Li who had no news.
"If drunkenness can relieve a thousand sorrows, how can there be all kinds of sorrows in the world?"
Ye Ling raised his head and drank a bowl of wine. He was so drunk that he didn't want to think about everything, but he was miserable because his memories were still fresh.
…
There is a road in the mountains, a pavilion on the mountainside, a table in the pavilion, and a harp on the table.
Wei Ran and Bu Feiyan walked side by side on the mountain road, enjoying the endless scenery and endless sweet words.
Coming to the pavilion, Bu Feiyan's eyes fell on the xylophone on the table, but when he saw this xylophone: "
Wutong wood, phoenix feather strings. The jade emblem is shining with light smoke. The faint Taoist rhyme conveys the golden rhythm, and the layers of ancient ice are broken. The civil and military seven tones are added with two, and the ethereal and subtle sounds are changeable. At that time, Fuxi got the sacred tree, which moved lightly up and down. Shen takes the middle section. It is composed of palace merchants and horns to levy feathers, attracting phoenixes and phoenixes to accompany them."
The harp in front of me is different from the ordinary guqin. It actually has nine strings. Each string glows with a clear light, and there is a faint shadow of a phoenix, soaring back and forth on the harp.
Before Bu Feiyan could ask, Wei Ran explained: "This Qin is called Fengwu Nine Phoenix Qin. The remaining material of the Wutong wood used by the Fuxi clan to conquer the Xi Qin has been passed down through the ages, and was later forged to make this Qin. This Qin Nine strings are even more mysterious."
Bu Feiyan looked at it and saw that the Fengwu Nine-Phoenix Qin was not only an ordinary musical instrument, but also a Taoist tool, and it was not low-level, at least it was high-grade.
"Can you play the piano?" Bu Feiyan turned around and asked.
Wei Ran nodded and replied, "Three elders taught me, so I gave you this piano as a gift. I often come here to play against the mountains in my spare time, and the echoes in the valley match me, which is strange."
Bu Feiyan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and Bing Qingqin appeared in front of him.
Holding the piano in his hand, he placed it on the table. Bu Feiyan sat down and said, "In that case, how about you and I playing a song together?"
Wei Ran smiled and said, "How dare you disobey me!"
After saying this, Wei Ran took the robe and sat down, put both hands on the guqin, looked at each other, and then closed them gently.
Soon, the sound of the piano slowly flowed, floating throughout the valley...
