Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 72: Wandering
After bidding farewell to Yun Tianlan and others, Tang Jie and his wife began to travel around the ancient continent.
Practice cultivates not only spiritual energy, but also mental state and insight. The prehistoric continent is vast and rich in land and resources, and it is the perfect time to expand your horizons and experience.
This is also a process that many cultivators must go through before becoming immortals. They see all kinds of life in the world of mortals, and only by seeing all the conditions of the world can they see through the conditions of the world and become immortals.
If Tang Jie wants to become an immortal, he must first experience life, and this threshold is indispensable.
The couple took Yiyi along like this, traveling all the way and living a happy life.
For Tang Jie, his ambition from the beginning was to be free and at ease. To a certain extent, he has actually achieved this goal. With his current strength, no one would dare to offend him, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to offend him. There are piles of immortal platforms in the Royal Court of All Realms. That's because all the immortal platforms in the prehistoric continent have come here. After leaving the royal court, those earthly immortals scattered across the entire continent, and not even a splash was seen.
When Tang Jie realized this, he suddenly felt confused and doubted whether it was meaningful to continue to work hard like this.
Once this doubt arises, it will linger in my heart.
Tang Jie knew that this was the so-called intellectual disability.
Whenever your cultivation reaches a certain level, if you have knots in your heart, you will easily become cognitively confused and confused. This is the result of the inconsistency between strength and state of mind, and it is also one of the thresholds you face when trying to reach Sendai.
We cannot sit idly by and ignore obstacles in our knowledge and vision, nor can we forcibly reverse them. We can only gradually change them over time, correct our perceptions bit by bit, and understand the world and ourselves from a new and higher perspective. .
So Tang Jie was not in a hurry and just swam all the way to enjoy this free life.
They wandered around. Different from the previous retreats, this time they made friends wherever they went. Everywhere he went, he would meet some local practitioners and talk about scriptures and Taoism.
On this day, Tang Jie came to a city. After staying, Tang Jie held up a Taoist book and read it under the lamp.
The way he reads is different from others. The lamp uses a precious eight-treasure glass lamp. The light does not spread out in all directions, but only shines on a corner of the page. It moves with Tang Jie's gaze, making it invisible. A hint of treasure.
Tang Jie sat there and watched quietly. After a while, he suddenly heard a strange sound outside.
Listen carefully and you will see someone is preaching.
Tang Jie pushed the door open and went out, and saw an old man in the courtyard next door holding a book and shaking his head. Against one's will..."
A group of children are sitting below, listening carefully.
Tang Jie also found a place to sit down and listened to the old man's sermon, and he listened with great interest.
After a while, the old man put down the book and said, "That's all for today's class. Let's leave now."
The group of children yelled together and dispersed.
The old man was packing his things. When he saw Tang Jie, he smiled and said, "Where does this gentleman come from?"
Tang Jie responded: "Coming from next door, I heard a gentleman giving lectures, preaching and solving doubts. I felt happy for a moment, so I came uninvited. Please don't be surprised, sir."
The old man then smiled and said: "No wonder, no wonder, I'm just an old man with little knowledge and rough knowledge. Just don't taint your ears."
Tang Jie replied: "Mr., you're welcome. I listened to the old man's lectures, and I have a unique insight into the Zodiac. I happen to have some opinions. I am willing to discuss it with the old man."
"Oh?" The old man became interested: "I would like to listen."
Tang Jie sat on the floor with the old man and started discussing.
This chat lasted all night. The two of them had so much fun talking about Taoism that they completely forgot about the time.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the old man patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I almost missed the time. Forgive me, I have to do it first."
Tang Jie said: "Old sir, it's okay to go."
The old man held up his hands and retreated. At this time, a ray of skylight shone on him, and he saw a long tail stretching out from behind him, swaying in all directions.
The old man hurriedly put away his tail, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself: "I almost got discovered, I'd better leave quickly."
As he spoke, he lay down on the ground and turned into a mouse, squeaking and crawling into a hole in the ground.
Tang Jie was still sitting there drinking tea with his back leaning against a tree and reading a book.
Xu Miaoran Shiran came over, sat down next to Tang Jie, smiled and joked: "It's a good thing you have such leisure to spend the whole night chatting with a rat demon who is just a wise man."
The rat demon does not have a heavenly mind. It can change only by the art of transformation. However, the magic is hindered. It will appear as soon as dawn, so it does not dare to come out during the day.
Tang Jie said calmly: "There is no distinction between human and demon when seeking the Tao, as long as you have a heart for the Tao."
"Huh?" Xu Miaoran poured a full cup of tea for Tang Jie: "Your mood seems to have changed recently."
Tang Jie responded: "Yes, how can it not change? At this stage of cultivation, the spiritual energy is overflowing and the soul is not increasing. To a certain extent, it is already the limit of cultivation. I think, very early on A long time ago, people believed that the highest state of cultivation was not a true immortal, but an out-of-body experience. When your cultivation reaches this point, it is like reaching a peak in your life. You will find that there is no way ahead, and your life will never be the same again. Without a goal, it is naturally difficult to calm down. Ups and downs, and swings left and right are all common."
Speaking of this, Tang Jie let out a long sigh and continued: "We are lucky and unfortunate. Now everyone knows that there is Immortal Platform, and being out of the body is not the peak. At best, it can only be regarded as a small peak on the Immortal Road. My head. But even so, I can still feel the pain of having stopped cultivating and having no way out... No matter how much I practice now, I won't get any more spiritual energy. In other words, it's useless."
When he said this, his voice was low and gentle, and his tone was calm, but it carried an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Xu Miaoran looked at her husband blankly, somewhat understanding his mentality.
She leaned on her husband's shoulder: "According to you, the fate of us cultivators is to constantly find the end and then break the end? Isn't that an endless road back?"
"What do you think?" Tang Jie said with a smile: "When you step on the immortal road, you are embarking on a road of no return. When there is a road ahead, you have to run as hard as you can. To become a spiritual platform, you have to break away from the mortal world. When you become a transcendent being, you have to reach the heart of heaven. When you become a heart of heaven, you want to become a purple mansion. When you become a purple mansion, you have to enter the Immortal Platform and become a true immortal, a golden immortal, and a holy immortal. When you reach the highest peak, you have to continue sprinting towards the sky... I really don’t know what the state of mind was like when Immortal Emperor Yu Chengzi became a saint.”
"Maybe he was lonely at that time?" Xu Miaoran said leisurely.
"Lonely?" Tang Jie smiled slightly: "But not necessarily."
He raised his teacup and took a sip carefully: "There is no road ahead, so just open a way out... People who can get to that point will not be lonely. They always have their own plans and know what to do. What, what to face, and how to do it."
Xu Miaoran opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Jie. She seemed to feel something from Tang Jie's mouth, but she couldn't figure out what Tang Jie meant.
Seeing her like this, Tang Jie smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't worry about it."
"You didn't just say it casually." Xu Miaoran said, "What do you seem to be worried about?"
Looking at his wife's concerned eyes, Tang Jie finally admitted defeat: "Okay, I'll tell you, there's just one thing I'm not sure about."
"What's the matter?"
After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "There are nine levels of checkpoints in the Secret Realm of the Soldier Master, and each level leaves secret treasures for future generations. The last level can only be obtained during the out-of-body period."
Xu Miaoran was startled: "Then you can retrieve the treasure now, aren't you?"
Tang Jie nodded.
"Then why don't you go..." Xu Miaoran stopped before she finished speaking.
She understood why Tang Jie didn't go to get the treasure.
That was a trace of doubt that arose in the royal court, which shook Tang Jie.
If everything is as originally feared, then what is left in this final level may not be a treasure, but some kind of terrible trap.
Tang Jie didn't know, but he did hesitate at that moment.
This is why he said, "People who can get to that point will never be lonely. They always have their own plans, know what they are doing, what they are facing, and how to do it."
Characters such as the Immortal Emperor and the Military Master are heroes among men and heroes among immortals. They are unparalleled in the world. Every move they make has a deep meaning that cannot be ignored.
Who can be sure that what Tang Jie saw in the military review was real?
Perhaps that is just an illusion deliberately created by the military commander in the military drill!
Don’t forget that the soldier master is also good at illusions, and his copying technique is a typical example.
A body cultivator is actually good at illusions, which is worth pondering in itself.
Furthermore, the military master back then was unrivaled in the world for his ability in physical cultivation, and could destroy the royal court with one person. So why is it now increasingly difficult for Tang Jie's physical strength to be used? Although the War Emperor's Illustration is still powerful, it cannot support him in defeating Dharma cultivators of the same realm.
All of this seemed so inconsistent with the previous performance of the soldier master that Tang Jie had to have doubts. Knowing that there was still a treasure left by the soldier master in the secret realm that he had not taken, yet he Did not go.
It can be seen that his mood is contradictory.
This conflict is not only about whether you want a treasure or not, but also about whether you continue to trust the war master.
Although Tang Jie has never met the soldier master, it is undeniable that he has been deeply tied to the soldier master in his past life. In any case, he does not want things to develop like that.
So what Tang Jie was afraid of was not the trap, but the feeling of all trust and emotions being shattered behind the trap.
It is precisely because of this that he hesitates, he hesitates, he develops cognitive impairment, and his mood is unstable, changing again and again. Even with the help of travel and getting used to life, I still can't figure out this mystery and untie this knot.
Understanding the key point that made Tang Jie frustrated~IndoMTL.com~ Xu Miaoran also understood Tang Jie's thoughts.
She looked at Tang Jie with her pretty eyes: "If you always have to face it, why not face it as soon as possible? Isn't my husband always like this?"
"It's different this time." Tang Jie shook his head.
The tone had lost all its previous vigor.
Xu Miaoran knew that this was the result of his distracted state of mind after his spiritual energy was overflowing, his soul was solidified, and he was unable to make any progress. After thousands of years of practice, one day suddenly comes to a point where no progress can be made, the state of mind is lost, and coupled with worries, it is inevitable to feel hesitant.
However, Xu Miaoran believed that Tang Jie would definitely untie this knot and get out of his predicament.
Caressing Tang Jie's face, Xu Miaoran said: "No matter what, I will stay with you. Even if everyone in the world may lie to you and harm you, at least I will never lie to you."
Looking at Xu Miaoran's serious face, Tang Jie was also fascinated for a moment.
