Longevity: The Flawless Dream

For a long time, there are only two elders that Lian Wuxia is most familiar with, one is the suzerain of Xuanzong, and the other is Kunlun.Knowing Kunlun was the first time she followed Lian Emei down the mountain to participate in the Langji Xuanhui. At that time, because there was still some time before the opening ceremony of the event, Lian Emei took her to Kunlun Mountain for a few days, and every time she went down the mountain, I can't help but come and bother me for a few days.No. Kunlun is an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and loose wind and crane bones. When he first saw Yuxue's cute, obedient and quiet Lian Wuxia, he fell in love with her.After going back and forth, this nickname was spread among the elders, and there were not many people who didn't call her "Wuxiaer".As for the suzerain of Xuanzong, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and the old things cannot be mentioned.

The gentle sound of the wind brought Lian Wuxia's thoughts back to reality, and a face of an old man with beard and hair like snow was immediately seen in front of his eyes, with a deep smile, and the kindness contained unfathomable vastness and profoundness.

The same old, but not Xuanzong suzerain.

The momentary feeling in my heart was hard to comprehend, Lian Wuxia bowed her hands.No. Kunlun smiled and beckoned her to come closer: "When I first saw the inscription on the invitation card, I thought it was the same name. I didn't want it to be you—it's rare that the Yunyun people are willing to let you go down the mountain alone. Don't be restrained, come and sit."

There was no other seat on Cheng Xin Mingtai, only a pouf opposite the chessboard in front of him.Lian Wuxia looked around and sat down.Daotong served the fragrant tea, and she fiddled with the milky and sweet tea mist on the water with the lid of the cup, her brows frowning into slender sorrow.No. Kunlun saw it in his eyes: "Look at your worried eyes. If you have any troubles and difficulties, if you don't think it's useless to idle old bones, you might as well tell me."

Lian Wuxia hesitated for a while, then put down his teacup: "Don't dare, this junior is here to ask seniors for advice, my mother ordered me to walk in the world, but how should I walk in this world?"

She has never stepped out of Pingshan when she left Lian Emei. It is the first time she left Pingshan alone to live alone. I didn't think much about the world.Some people ask for fame and miracles, some people protect themselves and live in seclusion, some people go to the examination room at night, and some people resign and return to their hometowns.So many judging the situation, making guesses and making decisions, are intertwined into an endless web, showing the possibilities of all beings.Just watching from the sidelines with cold eyes already feels extremely mysterious.

For a moment, she just felt that in this world, there is nothing that is not heaven, nothing that is not fate, nothing that is not god, and nothing that is not mysterious.The avenue is dim, and being in it is so admirable and awe-inspiring, and so...frightening.

Surrounded by this vast and boundless world with a tiny body, where is the path she should take?

No. Kunlun was delighted by her worried expression. He stroked his long snow-white beard, laughed a few times, and stretched out a broad palm to brush the chessboard above: "What is this?"

"The world?" Lian Wuxia stared at the black and white chess game for a while, and wrote uncertainly.

"You have already seen that this is the world, so you don't need to worry about yourself." Hao Kunlun said, "This chessboard, the horizontal is the weft, and the vertical is the longitude. From the perspective of our outsiders, all the chess pieces are the same and have no particularity; but in themselves, every step taken by each chess piece has a different route, mentality, and thinking, and they are all walking their own. The 'Tao'."

Lian Wuxia picked up a chess piece thoughtfully, and looked around unconsciously.The same Taoist blessed land, Pingshan Mountain and Baiyun Mountain are surrounded by clouds and mists all the time, transcending and quiet, and you can feel the fairy air that is not polluted by the world at a glance.In contrast, Kunlun Mountain seems to be much more simple, there are no changing and gorgeous clouds, only the sky above is vast, and the waterfalls below are thousands of feet high.

"Wuxiaer, what's the future, why do you need anyone to guide you? As long as you move with your heart, your spirit will turn around with the situation, and I will sit and guard the chaos. Where is the way in the world?" Hao Kunlun continued.

The road in the world... chess pieces... dust and sand... a tower built with sand...

There seemed to be pictures in front of him.

Lian Wuxia's fate with Xuanzong suzerain began with the chrysanthemum face she drew by mistake, continued with the lotus seed candy presented by Ru Yueying, and continued with the inheritance of the Celestial Eye Mantra.That was the third time she participated in the Langji Xuanhui with Lian Emei. Although she was young, her actual ability was long past the stage where she would go to the Xumi Realm with a group of Xuan Erdai. Lian Emei decisively let her participate Who would have thought that the little girl would unexpectedly have a talent for fighting in the martial arts competition of outstanding disciples from various sects in the four realms? The magnificent Daoists were beaten into falling flowers that went with the ruthless flowing water, and the last palm slammed, and the opponent in the last round was blown away, and even the entire ring was blasted in half in the aftermath of the palm .The huge contrast between its violent essence and its young and delicate appearance left a vivid and silent impression on the innate people present and the participating disciples.

"You really deserve to be Yunren's adopted daughter. This style really looks like it!" Sect Master Xuanzong smiled happily, touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile, "If you continue to grow at this rate, after 2000 years, you will be a Taoist of the Four Realms!" No.1. Cultivate hard, and when you reach the innate realm, the old Taoist will give you flying spirits! By the way, the cloud dialing glow that was given to you before should not be used anymore, so give it back to the old Taoist?”

The people present were shocked when they heard the words, the suzerain of Xuanzong is a monk who has mastered the mystery and proved the way. If there is no accident, he will be able to ascend to immortality within 500 years.His life-severing technique is definitely a more accurate prophecy than the emperor's golden words-this little girl must not be underestimated in the future.

But from Lian Wuxia's point of view, those were just jokes casually uttered by Xuanzong's suzerain, and they couldn't be taken seriously at all. To her, the conversation after returning to the clouds and Dianxia left a deeper impression .

"Wuxia, you have already reached the top three in the Taoist sect, have you thought about the way you want to go?"

"My disciple thinks... these sentient beings have never tasted the pain of life and death." The butterfly shadow that Jing Mi died on the strings is still lingering in her memory. Is there a strange method in the world that can save all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering of death?

The most insatiable children often have the most incredible ambitions.In fact, which of the Taoists who have just embarked on the road of practice is not like this?Smug, full of ambition, with the pride of fighting against the sky, fighting against the earth, and helping all living beings, as if he is a member of the Heavenly God who saves the suffering, and the heaven will send a great mission to the people, and he will go down to the world to save all living beings.It's a pity that with the change of age and age, some are impatient and give up halfway, some are wise and retreat to the mountains, and it is rare that they still have this enthusiasm, and most of them wither in the chaos of the world, and the rest are struggling. He is still alive, but he is just a dead sheep on a wrong road, lingering on the inertia of survival.That original intention, God knows which corner of the 36 days it was thrown into?

Sect Master Xuanzong suppressed his smile, touched Lian Wuxia's little head, his gray-bearded old face showed a rare seriousness: "The old man doesn't know..."

The old Taoist who practiced Xuantong let out a long and slightly melancholy sigh, feeling the softness and coolness of the hair under his palm, and couldn't help touching it a few more times. The gestures faded from the usual cynicism, and were so loving that they could almost be loved by others. Call it pity: "However, the old Taoist can teach you a supernatural power. If you practice hard, it may be useful."

Lian Wuxia blinked.Sect Master Xuanzong also winked at him, and the tiredness of laughing and cursing seemed to come back after a short disconnection: "Do you want a pair of eyes that can penetrate the fog and magic barrier?"

The elementary level of the Celestial Eye Mantra is to be able to see wider and more clearly. It seems that the power is mediocre, but when it is cultivated to the state of transformation, it is called the Celestial Eye. , There is no pressure to pretend to be a magic stick.

In order to facilitate Lian Wuxia's understanding, the suzerain Xuanzong gave an example.He happened to come across a pregnant woman giving birth from a distance, and he didn't even see the newborn's face. He only glimpsed many pictures from the brilliant sky full of clouds and clouds.On the towering and majestic altar, the woman dressed in fine clothes slowly climbed up to the high place, spinning and dancing, her clothes were like night, and two lines of tears suddenly fell from her faint and distant eyes.It was an amazingly clear and beautiful life, so he did a little favor and saved the baby girl's life.

If there is an effect, there must be a cause. If he hadn't used his Celestial Eye to see the fate on a whim, I am afraid that the baby girl would have died on the day she was born, so how could she have a prosperous and beautiful life in the future?

However, Lian Wuxia asked him a question: "How can the master be sure that this 'cause' must have planted that 'fruit'?" It is because the baby girl's fate is predestined, so there is the thought of Xuanzong's suzerain As soon as he makes a move to help, if he doesn't make a move, there will be other people who "think about it".Just like swan geese flying south, the itinerary will not be changed due to the change of the resting place on the way; hundreds of rivers going to the sea will not change the destination due to the twists and turns of the terrain.She was used to watching the sunrise and sunset on Pingshan, the flowers blooming and fading, and the clouds rolling and relaxing. She just felt that even though they would never repeat the same posture, they would still follow a natural trajectory to the same ending, which has been the same since ancient times in this way.

Practitioners like to talk about cause and effect, but in many cases, the effect is difficult to be shaken by the cause, and it is even impossible to be sure whether the cause is really related to the effect.Let you change ever-changingly, but the ending is set early, this is the definite number.Mortals gave it a desperate name, fate.

Sect Master Xuanzong smiled, took her to the lakeside, and showed her the dewdrops on the lotus leaves rolling into the water: "What did you see?"

Ripple, of course.Lian Wuxia frowned her thin eyebrows.

He picked up a small stone and threw it into the water with the same light force as a dewdrop falling, almost silently into the water: "What did you see?"

Still ripples.But staring at the changing surface of the water, Lian Wuxia seemed to understand something.

Sect Master Xuanzong squatted down, and patted the little girl on the back as if communicating with peers: "It's all ripples, but the feelings of fish, shrimp, insects, mayflies, and duckweeds under the water surface are different. A grain of sand , you can think of it as a tiny existence in the Ganges River that is almost non-existent, but if you build a tower with sand, you only need to move this small grain that seems to have no difference between whether it exists or not-the next thing is The whole pagoda collapsed suddenly."

Lian Wuxia's eyes, which were not small at all, widened in a circle, and half of her pink face, which was more delicate and clean than the perfect goose fat, stared at Xuanzong's suzerain for a long time, just as the latter was so cute While scratching her head, she nodded in agreement, and wrote very solemnly: "Let's talk about the Celestial Eye Curse, Master, you have been digressing for a long time."

Sect Master Xuanzong: ...

The breeze from the mountains brings the whistling breath of the valleys in the distance, and the crane embroidered pattern on the Kunlun lapel draws indifferent and distant ripples.Lian Wuxia suddenly cleared his eyes, and dropped the chess piece in his hand, which was warmed by his body, on the chessboard.

The sound of a subtle drop.

The cloud and mist surged around the chess pieces, quickly flooding the entire Chengxin Mingtai, and then slowly dissipated and receded, like the tide of Yinhua under the moonlight in the sea.And at some point, the pieces on the chessboard were arranged into two lines of poems in black and white.

"Death, life and fate follow the dew of the grass, and the universe and latitude are a game of chess." Hao Kunlun read leisurely, stroked his long beard, smiled, and looked to the ground.The red sun slanted slightly, casting long or short shadows on the ground. Among the black shadows of various shapes, two shadows with colorful streamers were particularly conspicuous. , a Haoxuan, Yanyan is like a glacial river of ink and white floating flowers.

In the world, there are innate people who have escaped from mortal wombs, are free from turbidity and evil, are not hot when entering fire, are not soaked when entering water, are as light as a feather, and their shadows shine brightly in daylight.

The author has something to say: Thank you Qishuang for the hand grenade, and give Qishuang, Xiaolou, and Qingniao a beauty version of flawless kiss~~

Practice the heart of perfect enlightenment: free all beings from the sorrow of death and enjoy the joy of life.In layman's terms, everyone can define her as the "Holy Mother"

Life and death follow the dew of the grass, the latitude and longitude of heaven and earth are a game of chess - no source, the author made it up by himself.

As for the luminous shadow of the innate person behind, it is not the author's original creation. If you don't believe me, let's check "Baopuzi"?
