Chapter 208 What is Tao
After burning my life, I fell heavily to the ground. At this time, I don’t know what it looks like outside now, but I am like I am dead and fell into endless darkness. I don’t know where I am dead or alive, but based on everything I have just lived, I am probably dead!&1t;/p>
"Did I go directly to the underworld and don't pass through the Netherworld Road and separate from Yin and Yang?" I couldn't help but think of it. Forget it, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. I just hope that Old Dao Xu and the others can rescue Lin Yiyi and Li Jingxian safely. I looked around again and saw that it was still pitch black without a trace of light. At this time, I was a little angry and shouted: "Where is the goddamn here? People or ghosts come out to let me see it!"&1t;/p>
[31 Novel Network] However, my roar did not get any reply. I sighed helplessly and only let it go. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly my surroundings began to change and then became brighter. With the light, I looked carefully and found that I was standing on a green grass full of flowers, and opposite me was an endless forest. Although I didn’t recognize the names of these trees, I still liked it when I saw them lush branches and leaves.&1t;/p>
Looking at the surrounding environment, I couldn't help but scratch my head and said to myself: "I didn't hear that there is such a beautiful place in the underworld. Could it be that I went to heaven because I once believed in Catholicism?"&1t;/p>
Just when I was surprised, I suddenly saw that the space opposite was twisted, and then Shu Yangzi appeared in front of me. Seeing Shu Yangzi, I was very puzzled, but I still bowed respectfully to him and said: "Disciple Chen Chong participated in the ancestor Shu Yangzi, the ancestor didn't know why I saw you in this unknown place?"&1t;/p>
Hearing my words, Shu Yangzi smiled and said, "Chen Chong is an illusion created by the power of faith when I left, and I am a wisp of residual soul, which is not where his soul is. I have some intention to trap you here!"&1t;/p>
As Shu Yangzi finished speaking, I said excitedly: "So I am not dead yet. Uncle Shu Yangzi, please let me get out of this illusion. I still have important things to do!"&1t;/p>
Seeing me excited, Uncle Shuyangzi waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, I didn't say you were not dead. To be precise, you can say you are dead now, or you can say you are still alive!"&1t;/p>
The words of Master Shuyangzi confused me. What does it mean to die or not? What does this mean?&1t;/p>
"What do you mean by Master Shuyangzi? I don't understand it if my disciple is stupid. Are I dead or alive?"&1t;/p>
"Let me say that, you burn your life in exchange for a powerful power of faith, so that you can support the Immortal Destruction Procedure and I can take action to defeat the ferocious beast Jiye. All this is the fact that it is true and there is no way to change it, and you should have died because you consumed so much of your life! Now I use my Taoism to trap your soul in this illusion, so you did not die immediately! But you should be able to guess that this illusion will not last for too long. After the illusion disappears, your soul will still be escorted to the underworld by the Yin Crazy.
But you don’t have to worry too much. After all, you are a disciple of my Qingxuan Sect and my disciple. And you are a little guy who likes me very much. I see that your temper and character are exactly the same as when I was young. So I decided to give you a great opportunity. If you can understand what Tao is in the illusion I created, then your soul can not only return to the body safely, but your Tao can be further improved, and even the exhausted life will be restored by the power of faith!"&1t;/p>
I couldn't help but sigh when I heard Shu Yangzi's story. I said that I was not so lucky and always picked up my life in front of the gate of hell. Don't read what Master Shu Yangzi said nicely, once I understand what Tao is, I can be safe and sound, and even my Taoist practice can be improved. But as the saying goes, three thousand Taos, what is the real farewell, is that I am a young boy, and many masters have never figured it out for the rest of my life. If I haven't realized what Tao is yet to be, then wouldn't I still have to die?&1t;/p>
Master Shuyangzi should have understood my worries. He smiled at me with his hands behind his back and said, "Don't be too sad. I don't think your face is short-lived. Moreover, you have the strength of the fourth-level Taoist practice at such a young age, which means that your qualifications are definitely not low. I believe you can understand what Tao is in a limited time! Well, I have not much time, and I should disappear immediately. Oh, by the way, when I leave, I want to tell you something, don't be confused by appearances, whether you are born or died depends on your own fortune. I'm leaving!"&1t;/p>
After saying these words, the body began to become transparent, and it seemed to be about to disappear. Looking at Shu Yangzi's gradually dissipating figure, I shouted loudly: "Master, please tell me what Tao is, let me figure it out by myself! If I can't figure it out, I will die. If I die, the inheritance of our Qingxuan Sect will be broken, Master, Master!"&1t;/p>
Seeing my tantrum, Master Shuyangzi did not stop. Before his figure completely disappeared, he laughed and said, "Shameless boy actually threatened Master, it should be beaten! If you die, it means that my Qingxuan Sect has such a disaster. At worst, you can let your master look for a disciple! If you have time to talk nonsense, it is better to observe it carefully and find the answer and get out! I will say this and ask for blessings for yourself!"&1t;/p>
After leaving this sentence, Master Yangzi completely disappeared. Looking at the place where he disappeared, I sat on the ground and sighed: "Fuck me, just look at myself. Old Dao Xu said I am talented and intelligent, but I don't believe me. I really can't find what Tao is!"&1t;/p>
After saying this, I sat cross-legged, and then I threw all my distractions behind my head and quietly observed the changes in the entire space. At this time, I had completely integrated into the environment, as if I didn't exist at all.&1t;/p>
As time passes by minute by minute, I open my eyes and even my eyelids are reluctant to blink. I try hard to capture any change in the illusion, for fear of missing a special place. However, despite my efforts, everything in front of me is the same as what I looked like when I just meditated, and I still haven't found the answer to what is Tao.&1t;/p>
As time goes by, I feel a little anxious, because just now I saw a corner falling from the sky on the left. After this gap appears, the entire sky is covered with cracks. It seems that the time for this illusion is coming.&1t;/p>
Looking at the cracking sky, I finally couldn't sit still. I stood up and ran on the grass. I wanted to rush into the woods opposite to see if there was a hidden answer. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't rush through it, even though the woods were just a close distance in my eyes!&1t;/p>
After running for a while, I knelt on one knee on the ground. At this time, the sky had completely collapsed, and the earth under my feet began to sway. I looked at the sky and the earth and couldn't help but sigh. Can I really not understand what Tao is, and will die with this illusion? I am unwilling, I am really unwilling to accept it! Lin Yiyi and Li Jingxian outside don't know whether it is dead or alive, and Xu Laodao and others don't know what it is now. With so many concerns, how can I die calmly?&1t;/p>
Just when I was sad and angry, the turn of opportunity finally appeared! I saw the grass and flowers under my feet, and the woods opposite me changing. I clearly saw that these plants began to wither and then began to become vibrant. The change was very fast, just like the video was about to be released.&1t;/p>
Looking at the cycle of these lives, my eyes lit up. I finally found what Tao is, and I can live! In fact, Tao is very simple, it is by our side and accompany us day and night. Someone once said that the combination of yin and yang is the Tao, so seeing the cycle of these lives fully confirms this sentence. Because life is yang, death is yin, and yin and yang are repeated cycles and replacements, the Tao will always exist in this universe and in this world.&1t;/p>
The meaning of Tao made me very excited. I looked at the collapsed sky and shouted loudly: "I understand, life is also Tao, and death is also Tao. The cycle of life and death is the combination of yin and yang is the true meaning of Tao!"&1t;/p>
As my voice fell, the collapsed sky stopped collapsing. Then I saw a powerful force of faith falling from the sky and heading straight for my body. Looking at this powerful force of faith, I smiled with satisfaction. I finally can live without having to die!&1t;/p>
However, when I was happy, a sudden change occurred. The powerful force of faith suddenly stopped in the air and refused to fall. Looking at the change of the power of faith, my face changed. Is it wrong to understand that the cycle of life and death is not a Tao?&1t;/p>
Just when I was suspicious, the whole illusion finally couldn't hold on anymore. The sky and the earth that had stopped had begun to collapse. Through the cracks of the collapsed space, I clearly saw that Xu Laodao was hugging the old me and crying. Heibai Wuchang in the underworld was looking at me in Xu Laodao's arms coldly, waiting to take me back to the underworld at any time!&1t;/p>
Looking at the collapsed illusion, my heart died completely. It seems that all efforts were in vain. I still can't escape the fate of death! After seeing through life and death, I no longer have sadness or ignorance, but I feel more calm. It's better to die. If I die, die, and if I die, I will never suffer or worry anymore...&1t;/p>
I had completely given up the hope of life and let the illusion collapse and sat peacefully on the ground. However, at this moment, I heard two sounds of slap, and then I heard the roar of Xu Laodao: "Xiao Chong, you don't open your eyes for me, are you so lazy and want to sleep all the time? I told you that I didn't allow you to die like this. I finally picked up a cheap apprentice and waited for you to take care of me for my old age and see me off! You fucked up quickly and wake me up!"&1t;/p>
I was stunned when I heard Mr. Xu's words, and as a soul, I actually felt that my heart hurts very much! Perhaps this is the bond between relatives, because of this bond and emotion. Our heart and life are connected. We do not allow one of them to die in front of us! Looking at Mr. Xu's hysterical appearance, I suddenly stood up, and then I pointed to Heibai Wuchang standing beside Mr. Xu and shouted: "Don't be happy, you two little guys, tell you that I am not dead!"&1t;/p>
