Chapter 292 Seeing the Immortal in the Mortal World
Chapter 292 Seeing the Immortal in the Mortal World
They entered the Qin Clan and were treated very well. The headmaster of the Qin Clan invited them to the main hall and personally brought them a thousand-year-old wine and poured them both a glass.
The guards in the hall left one after another at the headmaster's signal, leaving the entire hall to the three of them.
The hall was empty and silent. No one spoke first and everyone was silent.
Zhou Qing didn't say anything because he was not the protagonist here. He just came here with the third generation patriarch to see if he could untie his knot.
The ancestors of the Cai family and the headmaster of the Qin family did not speak because they did not know what to say and their hearts were complicated.
I don't know how long it took before the headmaster of the Qin clan finally spoke.
"Back then, we followed your instructions and searched for the dragon in the Qinling Mountains, but we couldn't find it and couldn't dismantle your body."
"Thirty thousand years ago, an ancestor entered the Immortal Transformation Pond by chance and took out a piece of green copper with the secret of military characters. However, when it came to the Eternal Dragon Cave, that ancestor looked solemn and did not dare to step into it after all."
The headmaster of the Qin clan slowly recounted everything related to the ancestors of the Cai family after their death.
"Alas, he was right to choose not to enter. At that time, my Origin Technique had undergone forty thousand years of evolution. Even a saint might not be able to suppress me. Even if he did enter, he would only die." The ancestor of the Cai family looked sad.
"If we could find the Eternal Dragon's Cave within a few decades after your death, we would have full confidence in fulfilling your request, but in the end we missed it." The Qin Sect's headmaster's voice was a little low.
"Did your Cai clan produce a great sage in the past ten thousand years?" Zhou Qing said for the first time.
The headmaster of Qin Clan glanced at him and replied: "It seems that the Lord of God has already come into contact with the elder of our clan. Yes, that elder has always been unique. When he was young, he came out of the world in a free and unrestrained manner, and did not admire the fairyland. Traveling in the world of mortals, in his later years he saw through everything and realized the true meaning of life, and then lived in seclusion somewhere, no longer interested in worldly affairs. Now even I don’t know where that elder is."
"That senior's state of mind can be said to be the state of mind of the most recent immortal in the world!" Zhou Qing sighed.
In this world, some minds are born close to immortality, such as the innocent heart. This kind of mind is not stained by the mortal world and is always pure and flawless. It makes rapid progress in practice, which is an extremely rare talent.
In Zhou Qing's view, the state of mind of the great sage of the Cai tribe was an acquired near-immortal state of mind, just like the state described in a certain handbook on the natural path.
That kind of state of mind is extremely profound. Unless you are an immortal who does not eat the fireworks of the world, otherwise everyone has seven emotions and six desires. How can your state of mind be sublimated to that level.
But the great sage of the Cai clan just did it.
"How many descendants do the Cai people have today?" asked the founder of the Cai family.
"Today, there are only more than 10,000 tribesmen, scattered in nearby small mountain villages. We have kept a low profile for ten thousand years, and the tribesmen are spread out. I think that even if one day you come out of the dragon's lair again, this method of dispersion will be This will allow more clan members to escape the bloody disaster." The headmaster of Qin Clan looked complicated.
"In the future, the family will still have to rely on you, the living people, to manage the family well. There will be no more bloody disasters in the future. One day, the Cai family will be able to flourish again." The founder of the Cai family sighed.
"Ancestor, won't you stay in the future?" Qinmen's headmaster was stunned.
"I was saved by this young man. My life has been linked to this young man. I will leave with him and will not stay in Qinmen. After all, this is not my time." The ancestor of the Cai family sighed. road.
Thinking back to those days, he was very high-spirited, guided the country, became famous all over the world, and became the Yuantian Master before he was a hundred years old. It was so amazing and unparalleled in style, and he was called a strange person of the generation.
During his lifetime, he also made huge bets in the divine city, traveled all over the world, dug out countless mountains and dragon veins, entered four of the seven restricted areas, cut through too many strange stones, stole all the secrets, and made many The prehistoric truth has returned to the world.
It is precisely because of this that his later years are destined to be unknown and difficult to contend with. Even if he hid in the eternal dragon's lair, he was still found by the curse, turned into a monster, and was driven by the underworld.
His current state is very strange. He is between "alive" and "dead", which is called "dying".
Dying, is he dead? Dying! Is he really dead? Dying! Dead or not? Dying!
As long as Zhou Qing lifts the red hair curse on him, this state will instantly turn into "death", leaving only a body that has been dead for 70,000 years.
Like someone's cat, this curse is equivalent to the box. If the curse is not unlocked, he will be in a state of both life and death, or it can be said to be a state of neither life nor death. But once the curse Unlocked, this state can only have a fixed result.
After Zhou Qing and the founder of the Cai family were invited into the hall, some of the disciples who stayed on the main peak also noticed this.
There was a woman among them, with an ordinary appearance, but her eyes revealed a kind of intelligence. At this moment, her eyes were shining with strange colors as she looked at the main hall.
"Why would the Divine Lord come to this Qinmen? Is it also for the secret of military writing? But it doesn't look like this. There is also that figure in black robe. Who is he? Why did he let the Qinmen headmaster show up like that? expression?"
She was trying her best to think of various possibilities, but it was still difficult to determine. There was still too little information.
Suddenly, a scholar in white clothes walked up to her, waving his fan, looking elegant and elegant, and said: "Yue Ling, are you thinking again? You saw the God Lord coming to Qinmen, are you guessing the God Lord's motives?"
The ordinary-looking woman glanced at him and said, "Of course, aren't you curious?"
This person is none other than Princess Yueling, who possesses a secret treasure that hides her true appearance. Otherwise, the second most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou would cause too much of a stir, which would be detrimental to her actions.
Although her plan to transform into an immortal pond was ruined, the plan of Bing Zi Secret was still going on, and she had already become a little frowned upon when she came to the main peak.
The scholar in white is not simple either. He is a prince-level figure from the divine dynasty and a hidden dragon. Otherwise, how could he dare to chase Yue Ling to the Qin Gate.
While they were talking, a heroic figure passed by them, and they immediately shut up.
They didn't speak again until the figure left.
"Alas, King Biluo also thinks highly of himself, thinking that he is so heroic and powerful that he can withstand the legendary God-Saving Technique. It's a pity that he completely surrendered to him in less than three years, and now he is the Supreme Protector of the Qin Clan. His cultivation is so deep that even the great emperors are afraid of him."
"This Qin Sect is truly a great hidden sect. Masters like King Biluo are just one of them. There are many great masters. They are no weaker than those great sects in Zhongzhou. There are also suspected to be the support of supreme masters behind the scenes. , may have been sanctified.”
During the conversation between the two, they were also very wary of Qin Clan, a seemingly declining sect.
In this way, the founder of the Cai family and the headmaster of the Qin family talked in the hall for several days before leaving.
And this incarnation of Zhou Qing has never dissipated.
Because this incarnation is no longer the Tao body separated by one Qi and three pure beings, but another incarnation technique.
There is a time limit for the Taoist body that can transform into three pure beings in one breath. After it dissipates, Zhou Qing has to use it again. It would be too troublesome for the Taoist body to run from Donghuang to Zhongzhou.
So he changed to an incarnation technique, which came from the ancient scriptures of the Demon Emperor, which was the move that Qing Emperor used to send out his killing thoughts.
This incarnation can absorb the essence of heaven and earth by itself to maintain the incarnation's longevity. Unless the power is exhausted or dissipated voluntarily, this incarnation will never die.
Although this incarnation technique can only separate one incarnation at a time compared to one qi transforming three pure states, Zhou Qing can only say that there are pros and cons. There are countless incarnation methods in the world, and it is difficult to find a truly perfect incarnation. The method comes.
After leaving Qinmen, Zhou Qing took the founder of the Cai family to a small Taoist temple near Qishi Mansion.
He found that this small Taoist temple was still dilapidated.
Although this result was expected by Zhou Qing, he still couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw this scene.
The ancient pine trees that once had vigorous branches and green leaves are dying.
There used to be a piece of jasper in that ridge of vegetable fields, but now it's barren. That bunch of grapes used to be like purple agate, but now they're all shriveled up.
What about the people inside the small Taoist temple? Will he still be alive? His heart had sunk.
Zhou Qing and the founder of the Cai family walked into the small Taoist temple. When they walked to the back of the Taoist temple, they saw a small tomb without a tombstone, just like an ordinary little yellow bag, blending in with the nature of heaven and earth, without anything special.
"Did you still choose to transform?" Zhou Qing whispered in his heart.
He opened his eyes and saw the inside of the tomb through the loess bag, but there was no bones in it, not even clothes. It was an empty tomb.
Zhou Qing was shocked. If he had transformed into a Taoist, his clothes would have stayed where they were, but now he didn't even have any clothes.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar wave. He walked towards the ancient pine tree. There was a square of bluestone at the root of the tree, which was no more than 1.67 meters long.
Traces emerge from the bluestone, as if alive, with an indescribable charm.
Zhou Qing had a flash of inspiration and used the Secret of Military Calligraphy. In an instant, the traces began to rotate, began to decompose, and then reorganized into a line of handwriting.
"Seeing immortals in the world of mortals."
Zhou Qing looked at this line of handwriting and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What kind of truth did this realize? Why would you leave such a line?" Zhou Qing said to himself.
He didn't understand this person back then, and he still doesn't understand him now. He doesn't know what kind of state of mind he is in. He is really too detached.
During those few days in Qinmen, he learned a lot about the deeds of the great sage of the Cai clan from the headmaster of Qinmen.
This person was very different from others when he was young. Others were eager to become an immortal, but his performance was very calm, as if he didn't care about the so-called immortality at all.
While others were fighting and killing, he was practicing hard on his own, traveling through the five realms, playing various roles, being a farmer, a scholar, a weaver, a hawker, a chivalrous man, and experienced all kinds of things. Live a variety of lives and experience all kinds of worldly situations.
Overcoming the tribulation in this rolling world of mortals, I don’t know how many things I have experienced. In the end, I had an epiphany. My whole soul quickly sublimated. I cut the path and became a saint. All obstacles seemed to disappear. It was not like other people who were stuck for thousands of years. , and finally achieved an extremely heaven-defying realm in the post-barren ancient era.
The spiritual achievements of such characters are caused by various complicated reasons. They cannot be complicated and are very unique. If it were an era when the great road was not suppressed, they might have gone further.
The founder of the Cai family walked over from behind Zhou Qing, stared at the writing on the bluestone, and said: "It seems that this descendant of the defying heaven has left here, and may have disappeared into the vast world of mortals."
After some observation just now, the two of them found no traces of Taoism here, and they saw such a line of writing, so the founder of the Cai family thought that this person should have just left here, but it is impossible to know whether he is dead or alive now. .
"brush"
An old man appeared next to them. He had gray hair and looked very ordinary, but his sudden appearance next to Zhou Qing and others showed that he was not an ordinary person.
"That man left here five years ago. He came without a trace and left without a trace. He left at the same time as he came. No one knows what path he took."
Zhou Qing didn't move, but he already knew who the visitor was, and said, "Has the old palace master ever communicated with this senior?"
The old master of Qishi Mansion showed a look of recollection and said: "I had a conversation with him before he left. I thought he would choose to go away in obscurity, but he smiled. It is said that he has changed his mind and does not intend to die like that."
"He said that he met a very strange young man a few years ago. When he stood in front of him, he felt as if the Tao was personally present. The appearance of this person made his heart suddenly clear. The Tao can come to the world. Why does the immortal have to be ethereal and lofty? Then he left."
"Now it seems that the person he was talking about must be you, right? Sometimes he can't see the way forward, and the difference is just a little bit, and your appearance just broke that point in his heart, so he realized something and planned to Go check out this path.”
A gust of wind blew up, picking up yellow leaves all over the ground. Zhou Qing's robe also rustled, and he said, "Then I can only hope that this senior can find his way."
The old palace master nodded, then smiled and said: "Speaking of which, in half a month it will be time for your incarnation to come to Qishi Mansion to preach. You, the honorary palace master, are much more popular than me, the official palace master. Every time your incarnation comes, the young people are happy and looking forward to it."
The sermon was something he promised the old palace master two years ago. In the end, he decided to preach once every six months for seven days at a time. Although the frequency was very low, it was extremely popular with the disciples of Qishi Mansion.
Even vaguely, it has evolved into a representative opportunity of Qishi Mansion. More and more young heroes are trying to get into Qishi Mansion, but they do not have strong enough talents and can only look at Qishi Mansion. sigh.
"This is because the Palace Master never cares about things or preaches. I am the only saint in the whole Qishi Palace who preaches. Of course they will look forward to it." Zhou Qing mercilessly exposed the idle nature of the old Palace Master.
The old palace master smiled and passed by, not feeling embarrassed at all, he just felt relaxed and leisurely.
