Chapter 48: The Damned Age of Doomsday
Why do so many monks come to Taibai Mountain for?? Hold a congress and hold an election?
Seeing Taoist Xuanming and his apprentice walking slowly not far ahead, I was delighted and immediately raised my ears to eavesdrop on what they were talking about.
The last time I was ignited to kill Scarface with thunder in my palm, I had already discovered that as long as I did not let go of my spiritual consciousness, other cultivators would not be able to sense my peeping.
"Master, do you think the old Taoist Sanyang can succeed this time?" the young Taoist priest asked softly.
"Oh, the way of heaven is impermanent," I heard Taoist Master Xuanming's long sigh, "The realm of Sanyang Taoist Brother is far beyond me, and he has reached the realm of opening the six orifices twenty years ago. Looking at the Xuanmen of China, it is not an exaggeration to call him the first person to practice Taoism. Unfortunately, for the past twenty years, Taoist Brother Sanyang has been wandering in this state, and has been unable to combine Yin and Yang fire and cannot sacrifice to produce the heart fire.
The heart fire is blocked and the great way cannot be achieved. Brother Sanyang Dao is now approaching, so he can only try his best, hoping to enter the realm of refining the heart fire in one fell swoop. Now he sent a letter to us to watch the ceremony, hoping to try our own way and give some inspiration to these people in the Xuanmen. However, Brother Sanyang Dao was probably doing something wrong this time..."
Taoist Xuanming's voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost inaudible. If it weren't for my extraordinary hearing, I wouldn't be able to hear the last few words clearly.
Brother Sanyang Dao?? Hearing this name, an old Taoist with white hair appeared in my mind.
I remember that the classmate in the class was possessed by a ghost and asked Guo Shenpo to treat him. Guo Shenpo was surprised when he saw my energetic talisman. He once asked where he got it. I said it was painted by an old Taoist priest from Todaji Temple.
It seems that the Taoist name of Guo is Sanyang... Could it be the same person? In addition, why did the Taoist Sanyang do something wrong?
The realm of refining the heart fire should be the same as the meaning of burning the heart fire in "Daozang".
"Wrong?? Senior Sanyang did this for our Xuanmen. Why did the master say that he did it wrong?" Just in time, the young Taoist priest asked out of doubt.
"Since the Yuan Dynasty, the way of heaven has become unpredictable. The vital energy between heaven and earth is becoming increasingly thin and can no longer be used by practitioners. Therefore, when we practice Taoism, we can only accept all kinds of spiritual energy into the body. However, when we reach the level of burning the heart, we must attract the vital energy of heaven and earth to temper ourselves in order to combine the yin, fire, and yang and fire into one. However, now the vital energy of heaven and earth cannot be used by practitioners. Many predecessors of Xuanmen tried to force the vital energy of heaven and earth into the body, but they only ended up with a explosion and dying."
How is it possible that the essence of heaven and earth cannot be used by practitioners? I can clearly... No wonder I only sensed the existence of spiritual energy from those practitioners before, and they really cannot attract the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies?
Now my mood can be described as a song by Jacky Cheung, "The more you say it, the more outrageous you become, the more confused I listen. You are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, wuwu..."
Oh my God, the earth, what's going on! What happened to Taoist Xuanming said made me confused and my questions accumulate.
Next, I heard him say: "Since the Taizu of this dynasty has brought about a new era, the social secular changes have been going on for a long time. I originally thought that the way of heaven would be clear again, but I didn't know that the way of heaven was impermanent and unpredictable. Now even the spiritual energy of all things has begun to disappear. In the past few decades, only the Taoist brother of Sanyang has entered the peak of the Six Orifices. If he succeeded this time, it would be a great blow to the people in my Xuanmen. Some people with unstable Taoist hearts will definitely have inner demons, and I am afraid that there will be no desire toward Tao again. Xuanmen is declining, ah... In the Dharma-Ending Age, where is the way of heaven, and the way of immortality is unreliable!"
My heart was shocked, the immortal way was unlimited, and I heard this again.
When Mr. Zhao told me, I just thought it was a lie with kindness and never thought of such words from the mouth of Taoist Xuanming.
He is a cultivator, isn’t it… the immortal way is really unlimited!?
If there is any basis, why hasn’t I heard of that cultivator becoming an immortal or a god for hundreds of years?
Taoist Xuanming was afraid that he would be born with a demon in his heart, but I heard from the words that his heart of Tao had also been shaken, but he just didn't realize it.
I watched Taoist Master Xuanming lead his disciples to gradually move away. I stood there and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Brother Hao, why are you stunned? Let's go quickly, and you'll arrive at Gu Huaiyuan soon." Zheng Shaoyang behind him saw me dazed and patted me on his shoulder.
It hurts so much... This kid has photographed me four or five times along the way.
I was determined to leave the team and follow, but I knew that Teacher Chang would not agree. After all, he made this tour group. If there was any problem with the students, there would be great responsibility.
Forget it, it’s useless to think about it now. Let’s take a look at Gu Huaiyuan before talking about it.
Half a mile ahead, the mountain streams were getting smaller and smaller. I saw a stone tablet standing under the cliff ahead with the words "Gu Huaiyuan" written on it.
"This... this is Gu Huaiyuan, isn't it too bad?" Zheng Shaoyang couldn't control his mouth and squirted out his unethical words.
"That's right, tour guide, did you get the wrong place?" Then someone came across.
"Yes, if this is Huaiyuan, then the small ditch in our village will become the Sanjiangyuan..." He came to his fullest, but he saw a small ditch. Not to mention his classmates, even I was quite disappointed.
You can feel a faint spiritual energy in this place, but it is not much stronger than the spiritual spring in the Viagra Valley. It is really not worthy of the title of the Chinese Feng Shui River. If it weren't for the weirdness in Chaoyangpo before, I even thought that even the name of Taibai Mountain, the cave heaven and blessed land, was just a false name.
Just now, Taoist Xuanming said that the spiritual energy has faded in recent decades... Is this the case for Huaiyuan?
"Students, students, this is indeed Gu Huaiyuan, and the big words on it are very clear..." Lao Chang's daughter obviously experienced such a scene for the first time, and her face was flushed.
I didn't expect that a trip would cause a lot of questions. I couldn't figure out these questions clearly, and I'm afraid I'm going to be confused again.
Until I got on the bus and returned, I was still thinking about the question. Will the road on the road be like the ancient Huaiyuan? It makes people come to enjoy it, but I was extremely disappointed when I got in front of me.
I accidentally turned my head and looked into the distance through the car window, and found that the mountains were covered by the deep evening mist, just like the fog in my heart.
I should stay here and see. Maybe the Sanyang Taoist will give me an answer and an answer to all the monks!
Once again, as a cultivator, I feel an indescribable loneliness and confusion deep in my heart...
Although the car was full of classmates, they were talking happily about the photos they took. I felt out of place with this environment, and it seemed that I was the only one above.
I got home at night... After having dinner and dealing with my parents' inquiries, I went into the house early to go to bed.
The Yin God floated out, crossed the sky above the county town, and merged into the night and left.
This speed is even much faster than the Armour Talisman. There are no obstacles in the air, so I will naturally go straight.
He quickly passed through a square of farmland. Although he did not extend his spiritual sense to sense it, he could also detect various mixed auras underground, and rushed into the night sky, making "I" stop.
This is where the Huai River flows out of the mountains, and the water flows quite vastly. The pungent smell is exactly what comes out of the river.
What the hell is going on? I can't help but fall to the ground.
In the night, I clearly saw countless fish and shrimps in the middle of the river turning their belly, scattering a fishy and strange smell flowing downstream. With a slight sense of consciousness, there were almost no living creatures in the nearby river.
Some... just pungent smells of fish odor, pesticides, chemicals, etc.
What's wrong with Huaihe? I remembered that the city's TV station once reported that there are new pesticide factories, chemical factories, quarries, and battlefields upstream...
"In the 1950s, washing vegetables, washing clothes and irrigation in the 1960s, water quality became worse in the 1970s, fish and shrimp were peerless in the 1980s, and diarrhea caused cancer in the 1990s." Is this the fate of the Feng Shui River in China? The spiritual energy is lost, and the sun is weak. It is people who changed the environment here...humanity changes...damn Dharma-Ending Age!
I seem to have found the reason why the immortal way is unreasonable... Taoist Xuanming's words are not without reason.
