Liaozhai Great Sage

The blind Taoist shook his head and said: "Seeking the Dharma is only one of them. The most important thing is to cultivate the mind. For this, you have to go back to the mountain gate. The disciple of the poor Taoist has already achieved great power. He punishes evil spirits, kills Dongyue, and seizes divine power. He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. There are so many people, their identities and status are quite different from those of the righteous scholars before, and every move can affect the trend of the world."

"It's not difficult for him to rule the world, and it's not difficult for him to win the world. However, virtue needs to be coordinated. After fighting and fighting for a long time, his heart will inevitably change. Poor Dao is afraid that he will lose his heart and embark on a road that he can't even think of. Now going north to Beijing is going to stir up the situation in the world, and now the poor way let him go back to the mountain gate, it is not only to seek the law, but also to cultivate the heart, at least the [-] days of pure cultivation in the mountains can also erase some hostility."

Taoist Mu pondered for a while and said, "Senior brother has a heart, but it's just that senior brother watched him grow up, why didn't he teach him self-cultivation since childhood? Isn't it too late to sharpen his gun before the battle?"

The blind Taoist smiled wryly; "How can Poor Tao teach him this? He is a born sage. He was born with knowledge, and he was born with Su Hui. His wisdom is no less than that of an adult. He is familiar with the past and the present. From his few words, he can even predict the past, present, and future." Things."

"There is such a thing?" Taoist Mu asked in surprise.

"Young heart, when we have been together for more than ten years, there is always a time when we talk about it. When he was three years old, he asked the poor Dao how long the Song Dynasty had established the country. When the poor Dao returned, he said that the country was about to fall. The workshop, the establishment of the escort agency, the raising of war horses, the accumulation of money and food, every move is to prepare for the troubled times, right now, the fortunes of the country are indeed in decline, and disasters are everywhere."

The blind Taoist said: "The national destiny of the Great Song Dynasty is a secret. Isn't a high-ranking man in Longhushan counted as a national destiny? He was struck and killed by lightning, and he just got the secret. The catastrophe is coming, but he knew it when he was three years old. How could such a sage from heaven dare to teach more? He had to hide his clumsiness, do less and make fewer mistakes. , I had no choice but to drive away secretly, for fear that the apprentice of Pindao would play around and pester Pindao to learn the magic of exorcising ghosts and demons, after all, he was born to see ghosts."

"Brother, brother, it's been hard, the past ten years have been stressful, do you understand?"

Said, a sad look.

"Junior brother understands, understands." Mu Taoist said with emotion.

The two old men have a feeling of sympathy for each other, and they both have stories, and the only difference is a glass of wine.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't know the situation here.

Early morning the next day.

He just woke up from his sleep.

But he saw himself lying in an unfamiliar room, not knowing where he was.

After a little thought, I remembered.

"By the way, I drank alcohol yesterday, and I passed out after drinking a glass of wine." Li Xiuyuan sat up, looked to the side, but saw that his jug of wine was still there.

"I really don't know if it's poison or fairy wine. Fortunately, this place is at the foot of the master's gate, and there are no evil spirits or thieves. Otherwise, if I get drunk all night and encounter accidents, it will be over."

Laughing at himself, he stretched out his hand and put the fairy wine into the ghost king's bag, then tidied up his clothes and went out.

Chapter 493 Master Daotong

"Brother Li, this wine is really miraculous. Although I was drunk yesterday, after waking up today, I feel full of energy. My whole body seems to have inexhaustible strength. Even my vision is much clearer and wider than before. It is mine. Your eyesight has improved."

Cheng Le moved his arm, but waved it forcefully.

Not like a scholar, but like a martial artist.

"Hearing this, I also discovered that I have lung disease since I was a child, and I always cough at night. I woke up this morning and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, but found that my breathing was very smooth, I didn't cough again, and my mind is clearer than before. The body is indeed much stronger." Zhou Cai who was next to him was also amazed.

"Really? I don't feel anything else. I just slept and felt much better." Li Xiuyuan said.

He really didn't have any special changes, maybe he was different from ordinary people and changed little, just felt it.

The three of them were walking along the street towards the mountain, planning to go up the mountain together to seek immortality.

While walking and chatting, they were all talking about the fairy drunk yesterday.

Of course, he also praised the benevolence of the shopkeeper. After he waited for others to get drunk, he sent someone to settle down. After waking up, he was exempted from the cost of staying overnight, and even invited himself and others to have breakfast very politely.

They didn't know that the reason why the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic was, of course, that the shopkeeper earned a table handed down from generation to generation.

"But this Immortal Drunk really has such an effect, so I have to save some and give it to my parents and family members to taste. Although it can't prolong life, it can still be light and healthy." Li Xiuyuan secretly said.

"Brother Li, the way up the mountain is ahead. I heard that the mountain road is rugged and has many forks. We think we have a better chance of going up the mountain separately and asking immortals, or we should stay together and take care of each other?"

After a few days at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mountain road in front of him, Zhou asked.

Cheng Le said: "Of course we are together. There are many tigers and wolves in the mountains. What should I do if I encounter danger when I go up the mountain alone?"

"Indeed, if we meet by fate, let's go up the mountain together." Li Xiuyuan said.

He is not afraid of tigers and wolves in the mountains, but he is afraid that these two scholars will meet tigers and wolves. If they are destined to enter the fairy gate, that would be the best.

As for whether they can enter the mountain gate, it depends on their fate.

Asking for immortals is not something you can ask for if you want, it depends on whether you have the destiny to practice Taoism.

Among other things, there are at least five disadvantages and three disadvantages.

If you are not suitable for cultivating the Tao, you will not be able to enter the mountain gate until you die, and you will not be able to cultivate the Tao. It is not that an expert can accept you if you want to because of your good aptitude.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the weather is fine today, and there is less fog on the mountain. It is the best time to go up the mountain today. If I delay my young master's affairs, I will not spare you."

At this time, I heard a voice behind me. A carriage came along the street and stopped at the foot of the mountain road. A rich man in his early twenties, with weak footsteps and a pale face, walked down. Several servants guarded him closely behind him. Follow closely.

Two robust servants, carrying the bamboo sedan chair that had been prepared earlier, carried the rich man up the mountain quickly with vigorous steps.

"Take good care of the young master. If my son seeks a fairy fate, each of you will reward you with ten taels of silver." An old man stuck his head out in the sedan chair and shouted loudly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's another person asking for immortality. That young master seems to be in poor health, and he needs someone to carry him up the mountain." Cheng Le shook his head.

"It shouldn't be asking for immortals, I'm afraid most of them are asking for medicine." Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't worry about it, let's go up the mountain."

The three of them left Changshou Town together, and walked up the mountain along a road that people in the town often go up the mountain.

The mountain is not steep and the road is easy to walk.

But it was okay when I was at the foot of the mountain, but when I walked halfway up the mountain, I found that there was fog around me, thick like water, lingering, and I couldn't even see the road under my feet when I looked down.

"The mountain was locked in heavy fog, and what the villagers said happened, and the surrounding area was shrouded in mountain fog, so I couldn't see clearly." Zhou Cai said in shock.

"Is it?"

Li Xiuyuan looked around, although there was fog in the mountain, but it was not dense in his eyes, it could only cover a little bit of sight, and the mountain road could still be seen clearly.

But in the eyes of Cheng Le and Zhou Cai, the sky was filled with thick fog, and they couldn't see their fingers.

"There is thick fog in all directions. We can't even see the direction clearly. Where are we going now?" Cheng Le said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't be nervous, just follow me, my eyesight is pretty good, I won't lose my way."

With that said, he strode up the mountain without any hesitation.

Cheng Le and Zhou Cai followed carefully, not daring to wander around.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen Taoist temples in the Immortal Mountain, hidden in the mountains, invisible to ordinary people, and extremely difficult for ordinary people to find.

But there is a step that twists and turns along the mountainside and leads directly to the bottom of the mountain.
