Chapter 1048: Immortal Learning and Heaven Learning (Part 2)
Chen Yingning's disciples were also extremely curious about the questions raised by Xu Changqing. This was not because the questions raised by Xu Changqing were so profound. On the contrary, each question sounded extremely simple, and some questions had nothing to do with practicing Taoism. For example, just now, Xu Changqing pointed to one of the passages in a manuscript and asked Chen Yingning why he put this passage on this page, why he wanted to write this passage, etc.
Although these questions sounded a bit unreliable, they found that as a master, Chen Yingning seemed to have encountered some difficult problems. He pondered for a long time before he slowly gave the answer, but the answer he gave sounded nothing to do with Xu Changqing's question. What made people even more strange was that this method of answering almost answering the question was satisfying both of them, which really made people feel more confused and difficult to understand the more they listened.
As the person involved, Xu Changqing naturally would not care about the opinions of the people around him, and he was very careful to find clues from these manuscripts. Although the questions he selected were not random and disorderly, his method of choosing questions was also not normal. He did not look at the content of the questions he selected in the manuscript at all. He relied on his own feelings and felt that a certain passage might have something to do with the way of heaven and earth. Even if that passage was just a complaint or a swear word, he would make some questions based on this sentence, and the questions asked were completely left to the heart to control. Therefore, in the eyes of others, his questions were simply nonsense, and only Chen Yingning, as the respondent, could feel the profound meaning of these questions.
Although Xu Changqing used acupoints to stimulate the qi and blood, allowing Chen Yingning to have a healthy body and spirit as ordinary people for a period of time, this method is only a treatment for symptoms rather than a root cause. The cancer cells in Chen Yingning's body have not slowed down a little bit of spreading. Xu Changqing could also see from the increasingly dense aura of the five declines of the heavens and man on his body that there was not much time left for Chen Yingning. Even though Chen Yingning could not see the dead energy gathered in his body like Xu Changqing, he could still feel that he was almost out of the way of pointing the blood-hardening acupoints and transporting blood with less and less effect.
Although Chen Yingning's body was getting worse and worse, his spirit seemed to have entered another realm while sorting out his immortal manuscripts and answering various strange questions from Xu Changqing, and he entered another realm, a realm that even Xu Changqing didn't understand. Xu Changqing could only feel that the aura of Tao on Chen Yingning's body was getting stronger and stronger. The energy of the five declines of heaven and man increased rapidly. It was precisely because Chen Yingning's Taoist state reached a new level that his answer to Xu Changqing's questions became more and more inspiring.
Although Xu Changqing's Nine-Rule Great Dao is the thought of Taoism in the secular world, and it emphasizes the integration of the world and forming oneself. However, most of the understandings of the great way of heaven and earth, especially the laws of the great way, come from the understanding of the great way of Kunlun and ancient prehistoric times. The understanding of the great way of secular world is pitifully small.
Xu Changqing did not realize that there was anything wrong with this, but now he returned to the secular world with a mortal body, and now he could clearly feel that his nine-level road had a fatal flaw. Now Chen Yingning's understanding of the great way of his answer to his questions just made up for his flaw. Because the great way of heaven and earth that Chen Yingning realized was the great way of heaven and earth that truly stood in the secular world. Although they are the great way of heaven and earth, due to their different positions, the manifestation of the great way of heaven and earth is also different. This is a situation that Xu Changqing had not discovered before, or it was discovered but ignored intentionally or unintentionally. After all, it was too convenient for him to understand the great way of heaven and earth from Zhen Yuanzi's memory and other means, which made him develop some laziness habits, which made him unwilling to give up the easy to make problems and cause trouble.
But the situation is different now. Chen Yingning gave him great inspiration and made him understand his flaws. Now he feels that if he could use Chen Yingning's insights into the great way of heaven and earth as a bridge and supplement and improve his own great way of heaven and earth from the secular world, perhaps he could use magic and magical powers in the secular world that can only be used in the three realms of Kunlun.
However, even though Chen Yingning's answers gave Xu Changqing a new idea of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, his most fundamental purpose had not been achieved. He still did not know what great things Chen Yingning had learned from the correct interpretation of the Huangting Sutra he left behind. Perhaps, Chen Yingning's understanding of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth with the secular world as the fundamental can be called a shocking study, but this is only when he stands in the position of secular mortals, and once he is in the position of Xu Changqing, he understands that Chen Yingning's understanding can only surprise people, let alone reaching the point where the heaven and earth are incompatible, even compared with the ancient Xuanmen sages, Chen Yingning's perception can only be considered ordinary. The only advantage is that his understanding of the Great Way is more in line with the current secular world.
More than ten days have passed, and the temperature has begun to warm up as it enters mid-May, the weather has gradually improved, and the days with sunshine have also begun to increase. For ordinary people, such weather is really good. Even if the current situation is a bit turbulent, it still cannot weaken the enthusiasm of these ordinary people to enter the spring. There are many people in various parks every day.
However, for Xu Changqing, no matter how good the weather is, it is difficult for him to get rid of his gloomy mood. Chen Yingning's body has become weaker and weaker. Even if Xu Changqing uses the Qi-transfer method to stimulate Chen Yingning's qi and blood energy with the acupoint method, it is difficult for Chen Yingning to maintain his awakening and healthy for too long. After each casting, Chen Yingning will fall into a deep sleep, sleeping for more than ten hours, or even longer before he can accept Xu Changqing's casting again.
Every time when he is mentally and physically healthy, Chen Yingning needs to organize the manuscript of Xianxue, so that the remaining time can be used to answer Xu Changqing's questions. Every time a question has not been completely answered, his body cannot support it, and he has to fall asleep and restore his weak body. The next time he asks the same question, his mood will be difficult to connect with the previous answers, and this question is considered a waste. Basically, the four questions raised by Xu Changqing have not received a complete answer in the past two days, but he feels that his inquiry seems to be approaching the truth. This also makes him feel anxious. And under the guidance of this emotion, he almost used some means to consume life to extend Chen Yingning's sober and healthy time. Fortunately, he was able to control his mood in the end and did nothing wrong.
On this day, Chen Changqing woke up from his deep sleep again. However, he, who should have been extremely weak, looked very energetic at this moment, and his face became much rosy, looking no different from a healthy person. Seeing this situation, Xu Changqing's face was not only not happy, but also full of sorrow, because he knew very well that Chen Changning had truly entered a state of returning to the light, and his lifespan should be overwhelming in just a few days.
Chen Yingning himself seemed to have felt that his life was coming to an end. He did not show any fear, panic, and reluctance. Instead, he seemed very calm. Even the expression in his eyes was very dull, with a more Taoist inaction in the true sense.
At this moment, Chen Yingning seemed to have seen everything. He no longer urgently wanted to sort out his lifelong experience before he died. Instead, he ordered his disciples to take back all the sorting of these days into the bookcase and handed it back to Hu Haiya, saying that he would entrust his future sorting work. After that, he ordered all his disciples to leave and not stay by his side anymore. He hoped that he could wait quietly for the arrival of death alone. Although Chen Yingning's disciples were unwilling to leave, after Chen Yingning's repeated requests, he could only do as Chen Yingning's instructions.
Just when Chen Yingning's ward was left with him and Xu Changqing, he said to Xu Changqing in a close tone that he had never seen before: "Brother Xu, can you accompany me to the yard?"
Xu Changqing, who felt Chen Yingning's obvious changes, frowned slightly, nodded, reached out to support Chen Yingning's hand, walked out of the ward, and came to the courtyard outside. There were no too tall trees in the courtyard. The sunlight could easily pass through the sparse branches and leaves and shine on the pedestrians below, making people feel the heat of the sun, but it was not that strong.
"I had a dream last night." Chen Yingning felt very tired after walking a few steps in the courtyard, so he found a chair that was hot in the sun, and suddenly said to Xu Changqing without any thoughts.
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment and responded calmly: "What did you dream of?"
"Many things are like another me." Chen Yingning turned to look at Xu Changqing and said, "In that dream, I became your relative, married your cousin, and had a very smart son."
Xu Changqing showed a look of surprise and said in a deep voice: "You remember it."
"What are you remembering?" Chen Yingning asked back, and before Xu Changqing could react, he smiled and said, "Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou, the great sages of ancient times can't figure it out, let alone a slight person like me."
Xu Changqing frowned and did not respond. Chen Yingning seemed to have spent too much effort and needed rest. Without further ado, the two sat quietly on the chair.
After a while, Xu Changqing spoke and asked slowly: "Besides dreaming about our relationship, have you also dreamed of other things, such as "
"For example, why did I change my life, right?" Before Xu Changqing could finish asking, Chen Yingning added Xu Changqing's question. He looked at Xu Changqing with a slightly tired but extremely clear eyes, as if he had seen through everything, making Xu Changqing, who had seen the images of the ancient war in the prehistoric world, feel a kind of pressure he had never felt before.
Xu Changqing was sure that even when he saw the Supreme Three Qings, he had never felt such strong pressure. In front of Chen Yingning at this moment, he felt that he was as small as an ant. To be more correct, he was like dust.
