Chapter 176: Kick over the worldly road with two feet, and bear all the worries of the past and present on one shoulder
The reason why Su Yun chose this as his next destination was actually for his own purpose.
Wang Chongyang has always been quite controversial in history, because his life experience can really be called bizarre.
In 1112 AD, Wang Chongyang was born in Shaanxi.
Born into a distinguished family, he has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child, and he also attempted to enter an official career.
But at that time, the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, and the Jin soldiers went south. The people had no way to make a living, let alone any room for development.
Therefore, Wang Chongyang resolutely decided to abandon literature and pursue martial arts. What is even more rare is that he also achieved quite a lot on this road of martial arts.
After the disgrace of Jin Kang, the Jin people once supported a regime, known as Da Qi, and opened the military examination system.
Wang Chongyang felt that he had found an opportunity to get ahead, so he decided to participate and won the first prize in one fell swoop, becoming known as the best in the world.
Unfortunately, the regime was later abolished. Wang Chongyang, who was still depressed after being over fifty years old, couldn't help but lament that the advancement of civil and military forces brought by heaven could not achieve anything.
After this, Wang Chongyang made a decision that no one could have imagined at the time.
He left his wife and went into the mountains and forests, asking questions with great concentration, trying to find an answer.
A few years later, Wang Chongyang suddenly became enlightened and became a monk. At that time, people speculated that Wang Chongyang met an immortal and was taught the immortal method. He was suddenly enlightened after receiving the inheritance.
But it seems to Su Yun that there is another mystery, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to come here.
You must know that since then, Wang Chongyang seemed to have been fooled by others, and he has embarked on a completely different path.
Digging a tomb in Nanshi Village, named it the Tomb of the Living Dead.
He experienced great tragedy in his life, and then founded the Quanzhen Sect.
The seven disciples he accepted are also famous. Among the seven disciples of Quanzhen, Qiu Chuji is even more famous. He is still famous even in later generations.
Such a person’s life is full of legends.
However, Su Yun's psychology has always been full of doubts about these things.
So this trip to Chongyang Palace is also a necessary way for Su Yun to find the answer.
Just as the two were walking along the mountain road towards Chaoyang Palace, Xu Jiajia looked at her mobile phone in her spare time, and after that she seemed a little depressed.
Faced with Xu Jiajia's inquiry, Su Yun finally understood what Xu Jiajia was worried about, but he actually didn't care about it.
“Don’t worry about what people on the Internet are saying. This path of spiritual practice is not acceptable to the public.
The world is changing rapidly, but the laws of spiritual practice are actually eternal.
If I can't even save you, how can I save the world? "
Su Yunyun's gentle words reached Xu Jiajia's ears, but they did not make Xu Jiajia feel relieved.
But she didn't want to cause more troubles to Su Yuntou, so she could only suppress these emotions in her heart and no longer show them.
Along the way, Su Yun almost never paid attention to the comments on the Internet.
As if those things had nothing to do with Su Yun.
But this does not mean that Su Yun has given up everything. He is still pursuing this path of spiritual practice, and because of Xu Jiajia, Su Yun found a shortcut.
Xu Jiajia was of course unaware of all this and found it difficult to understand.
Su Yun didn't explain anything anymore. He just wanted to break through the current state faster. As long as he reached the mysterious state above the extraordinary state, all the answers would be right in front of him.
Took Xu Jiajia through this secluded path, and the magnificent Chongyang Palace faintly appeared in their field of vision.
This Chongyang Palace, like Wang Chongyang, could stand here only after many twists and turns.
In the seventh year of Jin Shizong's reign, Wang Chongyang burned his residence on fire. No one knows why.
The seven sons of Quanzhen hid Wang Chongyang's remains in his old residence and built a Taoist temple on top of it, with the words "zuting" written in handwriting.
Then the name of Chongyang Palace was changed to Qiu Chuji.
Don’t look at the current Chongyang Palace, which is just a tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world.
But during the Yuan Dynasty, Chongyang Palace was extremely prosperous and had a huge influence on northern Taoist culture, ranking first among the three ancestral palaces of Quanzhen Taoism.
During the reign of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, Chongyang Palace was pardoned and granted the title of Chongyang Wanshou Palace, and enjoyed the title of the Ancestral Palace of the World and the Holy Land of Quanzhen.
After several twists and turns, the cultural relics that tourists can see today have emerged.
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia came to the gate of the Chongyang Palace. In history, the Chongyang Palace had its most glorious period, covering an area of 40 square kilometers.
It was only later that due to the war, the palace gradually shrank, so that the current Chongyang Palace only covers an area of 53 acres.
Even so, this still cannot change the status of Chongyang Palace in Taoist culture.
Therefore, visitors can be seen everywhere here, dressed in Taoist monk attire, devoutly burning incense and offering sacrifices to heaven outside the Chongyang Palace.
This is a special ritual in Taoist culture. At this time, Su Yun and Xu Jiajia knew that they came at the right time, catching up with the Taoist big day.
Almost all Taoist monks were inside and outside the Chongyang Palace, and only a few well-informed tourists came here specifically to witness this spectacular ceremony.
In the huge incense cauldron, bursts of green smoke go straight into the sky, as if connecting the sky and the earth.
The air is filled with the scent of fresh fragrance, which is different from Buddhist sandalwood. It is made from grinding seven grasses and seven flowers.
Hence, among Taoists, this incense is also called Qibao Incense.
Since Su Yun had always had a goal in mind, he did not stay here as long as others, but dragged Xu Jiajia into the Chongyang Palace.
Even though the Chongyang Palace is much smaller than before, it can be said to be well-equipped. It not only has more than a hundred buildings, but also important Taoist Quanzhen ancient palaces such as Lingguan Hall, Patriarch Hall, Chengdao Palace in the Lower Courtyard, etc.
With previous experience, Su Yun went straight to the Patriarch's Hall, while Xu Jiajia held the white monkey in her arms and walked around curiously.
The monks coming and going all around make this place seem like a fairyland.
Those who were passing by in a hurry to learn about Taoism would also take a curious look at Xu Jiajia. After all, the white monkey she was holding in her arms was particularly eye-catching wherever she went.
Su Yun quickly arrived at the Patriarch's Hall. Since most people were holding ceremonies outside, the Patriarch's Hall was empty, which saved Su Yun a lot of trouble.
Although Su Yun didn't show it, he was very excited in his heart.
The statue of Wang Chongyang is enshrined in this store. According to previous experience, if Su Yun guessed correctly, he should be able to feel the remaining extraordinary aura soon.
Su Yun soon arrived at Chongyang Palace, but then he was dumbfounded.
After the extraordinary state was activated, the familiar aura did not appear, and there were no golden light spots that ordinary people could not detect.
The entire hall was very quiet, with only the light of candles swaying gently.
How can this be?
Su Yun frowned immediately. This situation caught him off guard.
what happened?
Su Yun came to the statue of Wang Chongyang and looked up at the eyes of Wang Chongyang's statue. There was even more confusion in his eyes.
Is it possible that he is overthinking it? Wang Chongyang has never entered a transcendent state?
This thought filled Su Yun's mind and lingered for a long time. If this was true, it meant that he wasted a lot of time.
But logically speaking, this situation should not happen. Wang Chongyang is a person who has made important contributions to Taoist culture.
His life experience was so legendary that it was once rumored among the people that Wang Chongyang suddenly became enlightened after seeing an immortal.
He is the person who should have entered the extraordinary state. Otherwise, how could he have such a life experience? But why is there no extraordinary aura left in this hall?
Su Yun stood motionless in front of the statue. He was puzzled by these questions.
Along the way, Su Yun thought about all the possibilities, but he never thought that Wang Chongyang might not have entered a transcendent state.
When Xu Jiajia rushed over, Su Yun had already walked out of the hall silently.
Not far away is the antique-style mountain gate with cornices and raised corners. Under the sun, the plaque with these vigorous large characters of Chongyang Palace even makes Su Yun feel a little stinging in his sight.
Such a victoryist Ligongtong, a beautiful place, and the place where Chengyuan Kaipai Hong Taoism is the place. Is it a waste of time?
Everyone felt a little depressed. After visiting the ancient ruins of Yiling Mountain, Su Yun came straight to this place. He thought he would gain something, but he didn't expect it to be unexpected.
Looking at Su Yun, who looked a little solemn, Xu Jiajia was a little worried, but Su Yun quickly adjusted to normalcy.
"It's okay, don't worry. Since you're here, I'll show you around here."
Su Yun said these words to Xu Jiajia to comfort himself.
Although things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined, you have come all the way here, so you can't leave just because you don't have the extraordinary aura, right?
Su Yun sighed secretly in his heart, and then he and Xu Jiajia walked along the path inside the Chongyang Palace and walked deeper into the palace.
The first thing that comes into view is the Lingguan Hall, where Taoist Dharma protectors are enshrined.
The enshrined statue is mighty and fierce, with a fiery red face, serrated fangs, and an angry red beard.
Holding a golden whip in one hand and a gold brick in the other, wearing golden armor, and standing on a hot wheel.
Xu Jiajia offered incense and worshiped devoutly like many Xiangke, while Su Yun stood not far away, frowning slightly.
He was still thinking about this matter. If Wang Chongyang had not entered a transcendent state, how could he suddenly become enlightened in just a few years and even create a new sect based on the original Taoist culture?
This made Su Yun feel incredible, but he did not feel any extraordinary aura in the Patriarch's Palace.
So much so that Su Yun felt very entangled in his heart and felt very confused about this.
Xu Jiajia liked this place very much and went to several famous temples to worship.
Each time, Su Yun was waiting not far away and secretly thinking about what to do next.
Soon Xu Jiajia walked out of the Chongyang Palace, and then came to Su Yun in high spirits, pointing in a direction not far away:
“Su Yun, I just saw a sign over there. This road seems to lead to the tomb of Patriarch Chongyang. Why don’t we go and take a look?”
The speaker had no intention of learning from Jiajia, but Su Yun listened with intention, which suddenly made another thought flash in his mind.
If the place where Wang Chongyang's statue is enshrined does not have an extraordinary atmosphere, is it because this temple did not exist when Wang Chongyang was alive?
The situation of this Chongyang Palace is different from that of the Yilingshan Ancient Building. The Yilingshan Ancient Temple was an ancient temple built when the ancient monks were practicing.
It is the place where the ancient monks practiced and lived, so it is not surprising that there is a trace of extraordinary atmosphere.
This Chongyang Palace was built for Wang Chongyang by his disciples after his death. Therefore, if you cannot feel the extraordinary atmosphere here, it does not mean that Wang Chongyang has not entered the extraordinary state.
In this case, perhaps the ancestor’s tomb is where he really should go.
This idea quickly made Su Yun's eyes light up, and then he immediately nodded and followed Xu Jiajia towards the direction of the ancestor's tomb.
Soon the two came to the tomb of Patriarch Chongyang, where a tombstone was erected, but Su Yun was soon disappointed again.
He still didn't sense any remnants of the extraordinary aura here, and everything seemed to indicate to Su Yun that his idea was wrong from the beginning.
So that an hour later, Su Yun accompanied Xu Jiajia to visit the entire Chongyang Palace, and he was still a little depressed when he left.
The heaven-sacrifice ceremony was still being held outside the mountain gate, but at this moment, the voices of the two Taoist priests talking attracted Su Yun's attention.
“After the ceremony is held here at Chongyang Palace, we have to rush to the Cemetery of the Living Dead. Paying homage to our ancestors is not a piece of cake.”
Hearing this, Su Yun suddenly stood up and then stopped with some doubts. He looked at the Taoist priest who just spoke and said:
“Taoist Priest, this is not the palace that the Seven Quanzhen Sons founded for their ancestor, Wang Chongyang. Why do we have to go to the Tomb of the Living Dead to pay homage to our ancestor?”
Since Su Yun was wearing a hat at the moment and lowered the brim of the hat, the Taoist priest looked at Su Yunshi and did not recognize his identity.
“Are you a pilgrim here? It’s a good time for you.
Although this Chongyang Palace was founded by the Seven Quanzhen Sons for the Patriarch, it actually has nothing to do with the Patriarch.
You should have also visited the tomb of the ancestors, right?
In fact, there are no bones of the ancestors in the tomb. It was constantly damaged during the war years. Although it has been restored in an antique style, few things are the same as before.
The Tomb of the Living Dead is completely different. Even during the war, it was not damaged.
More importantly, it was the place where the ancestors attained enlightenment. In Taoist culture, the Tomb of the Living Dead has a much higher status than the Chongyang Palace.
Quanzhen Religion was enlightened from the tomb of the living dead, and that is where sacrifices should really be made. "
After saying these words, the Taoist priest hurriedly picked up a bundle of incense and got busy.
He did not recognize Su Yun's identity, nor did he know that the person who had just spoken to him was a well-known Master of All Arts on the Internet in recent years.
But the Taoist priest's words really enlightened Su Yun, and he finally knew where the feeling of something wrong came from.
The Chongyang Palace here is just a palace built by his disciples for the master and a place that later generations admire, but strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Wang Chongyang.
Although this was the place where Wang Chongyang once lived, Wang Chongyang did not devote himself to enlightenment at that time, so it is even less likely that there is any supernatural aura left.
The place you really should go to is the Enlightenment Palace, 2 kilometers away from the Double Ninth Festival. Only there can you find something.
After making up his mind, Su Yun quickly left here with Xu Jiajia. Xu Jiajia had already booked a car and was about to return to the hotel, but when she was getting in the car, Su Yun suddenly said:
“Master, please change the destination and send us to Chengdao Palace!”
"okay!"
The driver naturally has no objection to this. After all, the price of this new destination is several times higher than that of the previous destination.
But Xu Jiajia felt a little confused about this. Su Yun had always been a very planned person, so this sudden change made Xu Jiajia couldn't help but ask:
“Su Yun, why do you suddenly think of going to Chengdao Palace? Is there any difference between there and here?”
Su Yun nodded thoughtfully:
“Of course there will be differences, but we won’t know until we get the specific situation…”
Watching the scenery outside the car window passing by quickly, Su Yun was also thinking.
Su Yun was not sure whether there would be any supernatural aura left in the tomb of the living dead in the City Palace.
But after traveling all the way to this city, Su Yun didn't want to give up easily.
On the way, the driver had a conversation with Xu Jiajia. As a local, he knew a lot about the history of the Tomb of the Living Dead.
“This Chongyang Palace is actually not interesting. If you want to go, you have to go to Chengdao Palace.
Wang Chongyang was 49 years old. After he failed to fight against the Jin Dynasty, he dug a cave in Nanshi Village and lived several feet underground. If you go there, you will know how spectacular it is. "
Su Yun didn't take the driver's words seriously at all.
At this moment, he kept thinking in his mind. During this time, he searched the Internet for the history of Wang Chongyang.
I feel more and more that this Tomb of the Living Dead is a place I must go to.
Soon after, the vehicle stopped on the roadside, and Su Yun anxiously pulled Xu Jiajia towards the palace.
The Tomb of the Living Dead is also a very famous attraction here, and it still maintains its original appearance until now.
At the entrance to the Tomb of the Living Dead, which is deep underground, there is a sign that reads the position of Wang Haofengling.
This is the spiritual position Wang Chongyang set up for his mortal body at that time, and he also hoped to use it to make a clean break with his past self.
As they walked directly into the ground along the soil, a cold feeling filled their bodies.
Xu Jiajia couldn’t help feeling emotional about this:
“Wang Chongyang stayed in this kind of environment for how many years? How much perseverance does it take to do this?”
Hearing this, Su Yun smiled and sighed:
“Practice requires staying away from the worldly world…”
Just as Su Yun finished speaking, an old voice suddenly came from behind the two of them:
“This little friend is young, but he is quite insightful.
This statement exactly echoed the thoughts of the Patriarch at that time. The Patriarch’s purpose of establishing the Jedi School at that time was to create a special environment that was isolated from the world and facilitated for further study.
Only by changing your mortal body and cutting off the mortal world can you wholeheartedly follow the Tao.
It’s such a pity that when the founder was dying, his only last words were: I regret that I have not entered the Tao in this life, and it will be difficult for me to meet the ancestors of Taoism in future generations..."
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia looked back together in search of the sound, and then noticed an old man in ragged clothes, holding a lunch box whose original color could no longer be seen clearly, sitting in a corner eating white rice.
“Taoist Master, isn’t this a scenic spot? Why are there still Taoists?”
The old Taoist priest did not raise his head. He looked at the white rice in the lunch box seriously and ate it with relish.
“Chongyang Palace is the scenic spot, and few tourists come here.
The entire Tomb of the Living Dead is divided into two parts, and the first half of the area is designated as a scenic spot.
Half of the area is practiced by monks inherited from our lineage. "
“One line of inheritance?”
Su Yun grasped the key point of this sentence, looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him with some confusion and asked:
"The Taoist priest is from the Quanzhen Sect? But as far as I know, hasn't the Quanzhen Sect already established a new sect in Kunyu Mountain?"
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest raised his head and looked at Su Yun curiously.
Since the old Taoist priest was sitting and Su Yun was standing, when the old Taoist priest raised his head, he could just see Su Yun's face.
"Snapped!"
The lunch box in the old Taoist priest's hand immediately fell to the ground. Then, the old Taoist priest looked at Su Yun in astonishment and asked in disbelief:
“You...are you Su Yun, a layman?”
Su Yun just nodded, and the old Taoist priest immediately knelt down. Fortunately, Su Yun took action in time and grabbed the old Taoist priest's arm:
“Taoist master, it is absolutely forbidden, never do this great ceremony.”
The old Taoist priest looked at Su Yun excitedly, and his whole body began to tremble slightly:
“I never expected that when I am old and old, I can actually see the ancestor coming in person!”
While talking about the old Taoist priest, he was about to kneel down again. Su Yun had to increase the strength of his hands to support the old Taoist priest:
“Taoist Priest, there is no need to be excited, and don’t kneel down anymore!”
With Su Yun's words, the old Taoist priest no longer knelt down.
But he was still very excited and even burst into tears at one point:
“Unexpectedly, I was waiting for the Master of All Dharma to come. Even if I die, I still have the courage to go see the Master!”
Hearing this, Su Yun frowned again. The old Taoist priest in front of him always made him feel a little strange.
“Taoist Master, what do you mean by this?
Also, you just said that the second half of the Tomb of the Living Dead has been preserved for people of the same lineage to realize enlightenment. What does this mean? "
The old Taoist priest wiped his tears, then walked forward excitedly, and said to Su Yun at the same time:
“Taozu, please come here and listen to me explain slowly.”
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia followed the old Taoist priest towards the depths of the Tomb of the Living Dead with some confusion. In the first half of the tourist area, the old Taoist priest did not stop at all until he opened a stone door in front of a stone wall. The Taoist priest just stopped.
“Tao Ancestor, stepping through this stone door is the place where our master attained enlightenment. There are some things you don’t know, but I will explain them one by one after entering.”
After saying that, the old Taoist priest took the lead in stepping into the stone gate. Su Yun and Xu Jiajia looked at each other and walked in doubtfully.
This second half of the area is actually not too big, but when you look at it, everything in front of you looks very ancient.
“This is the place where our master once faced the wall and realized the Tao. After facing the wall for 7 years, he founded the Quanzhen Sect!”
However, at this time, Su Yun had no intention of listening to what the old Taoist priest said, because at this moment, he finally felt the familiar aura.
On the wall, there is a Qi Jue poem carved by Wang Chongyang back then. And it is in the handwriting of this Qi Jue poem that there are dots of golden light, indicating the remaining extraordinary aura.
This made Su Yun extremely happy. He took a few steps forward, but it seemed as if he had crossed a thousand years in one step.
At this moment, Su Yun felt as if he had entered Wang Chongyang's perspective, and at this moment, Wang Chongyang was carving this poem on the wall.
"The living dead, the living dead, the wind, fire, earth, and water are the only causes. I took real elixirs every day in the tomb, and exchanged a little bit of dust for my mortal body."
The living dead are the living dead. Death in life is a good cause. The silence in the tomb is so quiet that it cuts off the worldly world. "
In fact, Su Yun is not unfamiliar with this poem, because he has also seen it in the library.
What Su Yun didn't expect was that Wang Chongyang did not stop writing in the picture he saw, but continued writing again.
"The living dead are the living dead, although living as if they are dead is the antecedent cause. It is difficult to see the way in the tomb because of the troubles and sorrows, and the self-transformation of the ordinary heart is everywhere."
While writing this poem, Su Yun could clearly feel that Wang Chongyang's mood had changed greatly.
There is helplessness and sadness, but it is more of a pain of not getting what you want.
But not long after, Wang Chongyang erased these words from the wall, then turned around and left the place resolutely.
When Su Yun came to his senses again, he could still clearly see the obvious scratches on the wall. This was where Wang Chongyang erased the poem.
"The living dead are the living dead. Although living as if dead is the antecedent, it is difficult to see the way in the tomb because of the troubles and sorrows in the tomb, and the self-transformation of the mortal heart is everywhere."
Su Yun whispered and frowned:
"What did these words mean? Why did Wang Chongyang personally erase these words? Even in the records passed down by later generations, not a single word was mentioned."
However, what Su Yun didn't expect was that the old Taoist priest next to him looked at Su Yun in shock:
“How did Daozu know the entire poem?”
Su Yun opened his mouth and was about to explain, but then he thought about it and couldn't explain it.
He can’t say that he saw it with his own eyes after absorbing the extraordinary aura just now.
However, before Su Yun could answer, the old Taoist priest looked at Su Yun excitedly and said:
“When the master left the Tomb of the Living Dead, he still had great regrets in his heart. He was troubled that he had entered the Tao but failed to realize it.
And what you just said is exactly the regret left by Master, and the reason for his regret is you! "
Hearing this, Su Yun froze on the spot as if struck by lightning:
“Taoist priest, what does this sentence mean?”
The old Taoist priest sighed softly, and then walked slowly into the house. After a while, he took out a small wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, there were faded scrolls inside.
“This is the pen and ink passed down from generation to generation in our lineage, and it was left by the master’s own handwriting.
You'd better see for yourself..."
Su Yun opened the ancient scroll with doubts, and the abundant calligraphy treasures in it also appeared in front of Su Yun's eyes.
At this moment, Su Yun was completely stunned, because the content in it made him even more shocked.
This is the calligraphy treasure left by Wang Chongyang to his seven disciples. Although the content is obscure, Su Yun can easily understand it.
After entering the Tomb of the Living Dead, he began to painstakingly understand the truth and wanted to find a completely different way of life from before.
More than half a year later, Wang Chongyang was depressed and depressed.
After he locked himself in the tomb of the living dead, he began to read Taoist classics and kept asking himself some questions.
Tao, what exactly is it?
Where is the road?
These days lasted for 7 years, and when Wang Chongyang was in seclusion for the third year, he suddenly entered the extraordinary world. But in this ancient scroll, Wang Chongyang called this feeling enlightenment.
Wang Chongyang entered an extraordinary state, which lasted for two minutes. During these two minutes, Wang Chongyang realized a lot.
Over the next few years, he kept trying to find this feeling of enlightenment, but the transcendent state never came to him again.
Until the 7th year, Wang Chongyang decided to leave seclusion and turned all his insights in the past 7 years into characters and wrote them on the wall.
However, just when Wang Chongyang wrote the last sentence, he suddenly unexpectedly entered the extraordinary state again. It was this time that he suddenly understood why he had not been able to move forward in Taoism in the past seven years. OK.
In this suicide note similar to that written by Wang Chongyang himself, Wang Chongyang mentioned this sentence.
“Until the Taoist ancestor returns to his throne, there will be few people in the world who can teach the Dharma, and how can ordinary people have the way to practice it?
I just regret that I was born at the wrong time, that I was not born when the Taoist ancestor returned to his throne. I spent seven years in a miserable state. Although I understood the Tao, I could not enter the Tao. Although I had a glimpse of the Dharma, I could not understand the Dharma.
I am determined to establish Quanzhen, just to leave a trace of truth for the disciples in the teaching.
One day the Taoist ancestor will return to his throne, the Tao will exist in the world, there will be laws to cultivate, future generations will continue to exist, and heaven and earth will be clear! "
At this moment, Su Yun's eyes were filled with astonishment.
At first, this was the first person he knew who had entered a transcendent state twice in his life. However, when he finally realized his enlightenment, he knew that the path he was looking for could not survive at all.
Just because the Taoist ancestor has not returned to his throne, there is no way to enter the world, let alone a way to practice!
When Su Yun raised his head again, he saw that the old Taoist priest was once again excited and bursting into tears.
In his view, Su Yun is the Taoist ancestor that his master called him, and now that the Taoist ancestor is coming, it means that Taoism and practice will continue to exist, and the Taoist ancestor is about to return to his throne.
From the old Taoist priest’s next words, Su Yun finally understood why there was such a person here.
This old Taoist priest is the only disciple of Qiu Chuji's sect that has been passed down to this day. He has been in this tomb of the living dead for generations, just to guard his master's practice land.
Almost every generation is waiting for the return of Dao Ancestor, but each generation can only end up depressed.
This old Taoist priest has also accepted his fate. After knowing that Su Yun's story was made public on the Internet, he once again saw hope.
Just because it has been passed down to his generation and there is no successor, the old Taoist priest cannot leave this place.
This is why the old Taoist priest seemed so excited after meeting Su Yun.
Through chatting, Su Yun learned that the old Taoist priest was already over eighty this year. He was only holding on day by day because he was worried that no one would be able to defend this area after he left.
Therefore, during the conversation with Su Yun, the old Taoist priest expressed excitement more than once that he finally had the dignity to see his master.
At this moment, Su Yun absorbed the extraordinary aura left by Wang Chongyang, and felt that he was only one step away from the realm above the extraordinary state.
The old Taoist priest kept telling Su Yun excitedly that if one day Su Yun decided to preach the Dharma, he must go to the Quanzhen Sect.
When Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect, it was to keep the fire alive and to allow those who wholeheartedly seek the Tao to officially enter the Tao practice after the Tao ancestor returned to his throne.
Su Yun naturally did not refuse. He solemnly agreed to the old Taoist priest in front of him. Then the old Taoist priest watched the two of them leave. But not long after they left, they saw several ambulances heading towards the Tomb of the Living Dead. direction.
Xu Jiajia suddenly thought of something, looked at Su Yun uneasily and said:
"Su Yun, could it be that old Taoist priest..."
Before Xu Jiajia could finish speaking, Su Yun turned back and took a deep look in the direction of the Tomb of the Living Dead, and then said meaningfully:
“I think the old Taoist priest can finally be freed.
He has been struggling to support it, but now the mission of continuing this lineage has been completed, and this is his own choice. "
As he spoke, Su Yun put away the calligraphy written by Wang Chongyang that the old Taoist priest had given him.
This conversation also gave Su Yun a deep understanding.
There is no way in the world, no way to practice, and only those who wholeheartedly seek the way and practice suffer.
Hence, Su Yun also secretly decided in his heart that if he could reach a state above the extraordinary realm, he must find a way to spread the Dharma and preach.
This is the long-cherished wish of the ancients, and it is not the aspirations of today’s people.
There is no universal law, it is worldly law.
Tao realizes its way, which is the way of the world.
The figures of Su Yun and Xu Jiajia gradually faded away. The two figures blended into the crowd and were even undetectable for a time.
But only Su Yun knew that he had already shouldered a heavy burden.
This trip not only absorbed more extraordinary atmosphere, but the most important thing for Suning was that he clarified the path to take next.
After the two returned to the hotel, Su Yunzai looked at the calligraphy painting carefully several times.
He seemed to be able to feel Wang Chongyang's mood when he wrote this article, and finally understood what the regret in his heart was.
After entering the extraordinary state, Wang Chongyang suddenly realized that it was not the method of cultivation.
Rather, it made him understand the truth. Before the Taoist ancestor returned to his throne, naturally no one had any method to practice, because the road was blocked and there was no ancestor to open it up.
He created the Quanzhen sect based on the ideas he realized, hoping that those who wholeheartedly follow the Tao can have a purpose in troubled times.
It is such a founder of the sect, but he is a person who truly realizes the futility of practice.
Perhaps even when he was dying, he was looking forward to the return of Daozu, but he never thought that it would be a hundred years.
That night, Xue Jiajia was holding the white monkey in the house, while Su Yun was sitting quietly on the sofa.
He completely integrated the extraordinary aura he absorbed during this period with his own extraordinary state.
The realm beyond the extraordinary state is becoming more and more obvious in Su Yun's mind.
There is only one step left. As long as you take this step, you will have achieved a breakthrough in the true sense.
So after a few hours, Su Yun opened his eyes and decided where to go next.
The Great Xia Zhixi is known as the destination of the human soul, and this time it just proves Su Yun's current state.
Whether we can break through, now is the most critical moment!
Early on the next morning, Su Yun took Xu Jiajia to the airport. This time they wanted to go straight to their destination, so they chose the fastest transportation method.
But this white monkey is a problem. Although there are channels for checking animals in the airport, at most they are puppies and kittens. No one has ever imagined that they would have to check in a monkey.
But fortunately, Su Yun's documents were complete, and Su Yun's identity was here, so the airport executives were even alerted and Su Yun was invited to the office for discussion.
In just a moment’s conversation, these things were already done.
The airport executives did not even arrange for Su Yun and Xu Jiajia to go to the first-class lounge, but directly asked them to wait in their office to board the plane.
The service comparable to five-star service was an eye-opener for Xu Jiajia, but Su Yun did not have any obvious emotional changes about this.
When the boarding time approached, the senior management not only personally arranged for Su Yun to board the plane through a special channel, but even sent him directly to the first-class cabin of the plane.
Then more and more passengers boarded the plane. Many passengers who wanted to buy first-class cabins before found that the cabin was closed. After seeing Su Yun and Xu Jiajia sitting there, they were very confused.
“Stewardess, what’s going on? Don’t we not sell first-class tickets for this flight? Why can there be two people sitting here?”
A middle-aged man wearing gold and silver, looking like a nouveau riche, shouted to the stewardess at the top of his lungs.
And the stewardess took the trouble to explain this time:
“I’m sorry sir, the reason why we have closed the cabin is because these two people have very special identities.
If you must fly first class, you can change your flight to the closest flight and it won’t delay you for too long. "
Once he heard this, the middle-aged man suddenly became very angry, and then he wanted to collect money to see Su Yun and Xu Jiajia.
“Who are these two people? Why can’t I do it and they can sit down?
I am a Supreme Card member of your airline. Do you not want to join me anymore? "
However, before the middle-aged man could get closer, two airport security personnel came over and dragged him off the plane without saying a word.
All passengers looked at this scene in shock and were very confused about the identities of Su Yun and Xu Jiajia.
As for this middle-aged upstart, all his money was refunded and he was blacklisted by the airline.
The middle-aged man was so angry that he called the police on the spot to make the matter bigger.
But the top executives of the airline company just whispered a few words in the ear of the police chief. Especially after the name Su Yun was mentioned, the police all invited the middle-aged man to the station for tea on the grounds of obstructing official duties.
After the middle-aged man left the police station again, his activities obviously died down.
Although he still didn't know who the two young men sitting in the first class were, he could guess a thing or two from the attitudes of the airline and the police.
Episodes of fear came to mind, and the middle-aged man’s legs felt weak even when he walked.
Now he has clearly realized that he almost provoked a big shot.
Although I don’t know who this big shot is, judging from the reactions from all parties, I can’t afford to offend him.
But this incident did not have any impact on Su Yun and Xu Jiajia. The two looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, chatting and laughing happily.
What they didn’t know was that both the captain and the flight attendants on the plane were on tenterhooks.
They have never served someone like Su Yun...
