Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty: Peace of Mind
Riding a donkey up the hillside, the Taoist took off the bamboo hat on his head, turned over and hung the bamboo hat at the door.
After opening the copper lock of the watch door, a dusty and dull breath came out when the door was pushed open.
The main hall of the Taoist temple enshrines the Taoist, and the incense has long been discontinued. The last offerings and fruits from the past were also unceremoniously swept away by the Taoists who came down the mountain, leaving only empty dishes.
The Taoist stepped into the hall and dusted off the snow dust from his body.
Looking at the three Taoists, I felt something different at this moment than in the past.
Now that I think about it, in this small Taoist temple, there are actually ancient immortal saints and the fourth generation of Taoists living there, and the first, second and third generation of Taoists are enshrined.
It seems that the origin and end of the entire Kunlun Taoist ancestral court are here.
"urgent!"
An edict calls the heaven and earth to cool down.
The dust inside and outside the Taoist temple was swept out of the temple, causing Yun Jun to take a big sip as he cautiously poked his head around the door.
After reading it for a long time, he could only choke out one sentence.
"Daojun!"
"This place is really..."
"The mountain is not high, as long as there are immortals, the spirit will be there."
"This is a humble house, but I am so kind to you!"
This is far different from the Yuntian Temple that it had imagined before it came. Before, it thought that even if it wasn't the Yunding Tiangong, it was at least a Beppu Taoist Palace with endless divine palaces.
Yun Jun looks like a prince and noble son, just like General Donkey, he is a picky man who hates the poor and loves the rich.
The Taoist just said to Yun Jun calmly without turning his head.
"The place where you feel at ease is your hometown."
"What does it have to do with a high mountain and a humble house?"
The Donkey General and Qinglong Boy were already familiar with the way they entered Yuntian Temple. When the Donkey General looked back, he saw that the old donkey shed had collapsed.
The Taoist walked through the side yard and opened the back door.
Finally, when we came to the mountain wall, we raised a huge boulder and slowly moved it away, revealing the cave behind.
Deep in the cave, an old Taoist stone statue sits cross-legged on the platform.
Kong Chenzi's expression became a little complicated, and finally he just said one sentence.
"Old man."
"I'm back!"
He walked forward, brushed off the dust on the stone statue with his sleeves, and spoke softly.
“After wandering for thousands of years, it’s time to go home!”
The haze rises, fills the entire cave, and spreads to the outside and the Tianshan Mountains.
It seems to form a road leading to the sky above the clouds.
Kong Chenzi carried the remains of the old Taoist priest into the clouds and disappeared.
In the Yunzhong Realm, there are already many giant peaks of the sacred mountain that reach into the sky.
The clouds shine all over the mountains, and the clouds and mist linger in all directions.
A Taoist walked up the stairs in Kunlun God Realm, and finally came to the palace at the top of Kunlun.
The feeling of entering here with the physical body is different from that of the soul. The soul can feel the warmth like spring here, but it is a completely different feeling when the physical body enters the Yunzhong Realm.
The surrounding clouds and mist are just the illusion of spiritual mist. There is no air, no life here, and it is a forbidden place for living creatures.
The Taoist walked non-stop, walked into the palace, and came to the place where the Kunlun Gao family had been seated for generations.
In the Palace of Five Elements, a large number of relics of the Gao clan sit in all directions, accumulating among the shrines layer by layer.
Kong Chenzi finally placed it on the top, next to the first, second and third generation Taoist Masters.
Even though he never really took charge of Kunlun for a day, he was the exiled descendant of the Kunlun Gao clan from the beginning.
He is also the dignified Kunlun Gao Shi, the fourth generation Taoist of the Taoist sect.
When the old Taoist priest sat on the throne of the fourth generation Taoist Master, he touched the prohibition that had long been hidden in his remains, and turned into streaks of blue black light that filled the air.
A ray of light stood up from the remains of the fourth generation Taoist Master, turning into the silhouette of an old Taoist priest and standing up.
He looked at the place where the Gao clan rested, and finally at Kong Chenzi.
"Kongchen!"
"You're finally here?"
His soul has long since disappeared along with the Five Decline of Heavenly Beings, and what remains here now is just an illusion.
A section of his will and last wish.
Kong Chenzi looked at the old Taoist priest and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Well! I'm here!"
"The top of Kunlun, the ancestral court of Taoism."
The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded: "It looks like everything is over."
Kong Chenzi responded with a smile: "It's all over."
"As you said, they are just monsters."
"Seriously."
The Taoist shook his head: "It's so boring."
The old Taoist priest hesitated to speak, and finally closed his eyes and turned into a sentence.
"What I let go of, what I can't let go of, what I can't let go of, all kinds of karma and retribution."
"Finally, when I drilled into the mountain, I thought everything was invisible."
"Thanks a lot."
Silent, the old Taoist priest continued to ask.
"How about it? Is the hustle and bustle of the world more miserable than the poverty on the mountain, which makes people forget to return?"
Kongchenzi replied: "There are many interesting people and interesting things."
The old Taoist laughed loudly: "Kongchen, have you ever listened to my instructions and gone down the mountain to marry a wife and have children?"
"Become a mortal first and then become an immortal, and you will avoid all kinds of regrets."
"Like you and me, we don't have many opportunities to experience the life of a mortal. Some simple things are just a luxury in the end."
Kong Chenzi looked at the old Taoist priest.
"I never listen to you."
The old Taoist priest gave his last long sigh, not knowing that he was sorry for himself, but for Kongchenzi.
"My whole life, looking back, is like a big dream."
"Searching for the path will end in vain, and your life will be like drifting in dust."
"That's all I can do."
"From now on, it's all up to you."
After saying this, the light and shadow disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing behind.
Kong Chenzi watched calmly as the old Taoist priest's welcome dissipated, and stood motionless in the center of the Five Elements and Bagua.
The huge Kunlun Mountains, in the realm of clouds, no longer have any sound or movement, only loneliness remains.
When he came out, Yun Jun had already taken care of Yuntian Temple neatly and cleanly.
The Taoist said nothing and walked directly into the side room.
Kong Chenzi didn’t want to do anything or think about anything.
I just want to lie down in my shabby house and sleep until the end of the world.
The world is vast, but only here can people feel at ease.
When the quilt was pulled up, the sky outside gradually became dark, and the only sounds that could be heard were the wind and the soft sound of falling snowflakes.
The Taoist slept particularly soundly.
—————————
However, the next day dawned.
Uninvited guests come to disturb people's dreams and disturb the purity of Yuntianguan, a place outside this world.
A divine man wearing a purple robe walked through the clouds, accompanied by the phantom of peach blossoms falling, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Yuntian Temple is located.
“What a paradise.”
The visitor was none other than Tao Shenjun. This remote and pure place was quite in line with the Taoist artistic conception, and Tao Shenjun was full of praise for it.
In Yuntian Temple, even if the sleeping Taoist's consciousness is hazy, he can feel the changes and movements outside.
"Who!"
Qinglong boy reported outside the house: "Tao Shenjun wants to see Taoist Lord."
The Taoist turned over, tightened the warm quilt, and went to sleep.
"Let him wait outside."
