Chapter 49 Lao Tzu seeks the way(1/2)
The world of prehistoric times is extremely vast. Ordinary Golden Immortals may not be able to find the four poles of the sky even after walking for thousands of years. However, the spread of news is countless times faster than that of Golden Immortals who drive on the clouds.
Especially the great news of the great opening of the temple in Buzhou Mountain.
The Saint's Temple, if you can enter, wouldn't you have the chance to meet the Saint, or even listen to the Saint's Way?
This is really tempting for the monks in the prehistoric world.
...
After the opening of the Wa Emperor's Taoist Temple for several days, many monks from Buzhou Mountain have arrived.
They could enter the Wahuang Heaven at will, but they could not get close to the central area, so they opened a cave in the fairy mountain outside the Wahuang Heaven to recuperate, waiting for the Saint Nuwa to preach the great way.
At this time, a guest was welcomed in the Palace of Emperor Wa.
Liu Bai, who was discussing the story with Nuwa, looked closely and saw the person who came described his old age, with white hair and beards, wearing a nine-sky crown, and a eight-treasure purple-life clothes. However, he was holding a white jade-flavored crane in his hand.
But Liu Bai has seen this man, and that was when Nuwa and the others picked the gourds.
Although he was unknown at that time, when he saw the Baiyu Bianguai, Liu Bai immediately guessed the origin of the old Taoist.
At this time, the old Taoist took the lead in ceremonializing to Nuwa and said, "Welcome to the saint."
Nuwa stood up and returned the greeting, "Senior brother, don't need much politeness."
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Respecting the saint is the way of heaven. Even if I am your senior brother, I should respect you."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Bai again, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, "This fellow Taoist seems to have never seen it before, I don't know..."
Liu Bai stood up and bowed, "My path is called Changqing."
The old Taoist also returned the gift, "My name is Laozi."
After the two of them met each other, Nuwa invited me to sit down. After Qingluan Caifeng came up to serve tea, she looked at me and said, "I heard that my senior brother was in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain for many days and was preparing to prove the truth about Hunyuan. Why did you have time to come to me?"
I looked at Liu Bai and seemed a little hesitant.
Liu Bai knew that he was inconvenient to speak when he saw that he was present. He happened to discuss the truth with Nuwa for several days and had a lot of insights. He was about to find a place to go to seclusion, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Nuwa knew that he was going to retreat, but she did not try to keep him. She just said that she would come to discuss the truth with her after retreating.
After Liu Bai left, I looked at Nuwa and said solemnly: "I went into seclusion this time and rushed to the saint position, but I still couldn't step into that threshold. I came to see the saint this time to ask for advice on the way to achieve enlightenment."
Nuwa shook her head, "What I have attained is the great way of creation, and later achieved the holy position by creating human merits. My great way is not the same as my senior brother, I am afraid I cannot guide you."
I'm a little disappointed.
"Since that's the case, I can only find another way."
As I spoke, I wanted to get up and say goodbye.
Nuwa thought for a while and said a little hesitantly: "Senior Brother, although I can't help you understand the great way, there is one person who may be able to."
My eyes lit up and I asked, "Is this person a fellow Taoist Fuxi? I heard that his companion spiritual treasure Xihuangqin can help others to realize the truth."
Nuwa smiled and said, "Although he is obsessed with Tianyin Avenue, he is still much worse than you, Senior Brother. His Xihuangqin is no longer effective at the level of Senior Brother."
"Who the hell is it?"
Nuwa shook her head, "I can't tell you for the time being. Senior brother, did you see a willow tree when you entered my Wa Emperor Heaven?"
I wondered, "But the green willow at the entrance? That willow tree seems to have merit. Is it a mystery?"
“My merit was obtained when I created the human race.”
Nuwa smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't ask too much. Go and wait under the willow tree. If that person is willing to help you achieve enlightenment, he will go and find you."
I pondered for a moment and stood up to say goodbye.
"Since the saint trusts that man so much, I will go under the willow tree and wait for him to come. Thank you for your guidance."
"You are polite, senior brother."
...
I left the Imperial Palace and turned into a white-haired old Taoist in green clothes. The white jade flat crutch also turned into an ordinary peach wood stick.
He traveled among the many monks, but no one could notice his existence.
He slowly left the Wahuangtian and sat cross-legged under the big willow tree.
Since the opening of the Dawa Emperor Taoist Temple, the quiet valley has become thousands of times bustling.
Many monks who came here to discuss Taoism and scriptures, waiting for Saint Nuwa to start their lectures.
Many monks simply set up stalls here to trade some treasures of heaven, earth, magic weapons and spiritual pills with passing monks.
The valley, which was regarded as a holy place by the human race, suddenly became a lively market, but they were still quite friendly to the human race nearby.
After all, the Saint Nuwa opened a temple to protect the human race so that the human race can safely integrate into the prehistoric races.
No one dares to offend the power of a saint!
I was sitting quietly under the willow tree, like a statue.
There were many monks coming and going around, but no one looked at him more.
Time flows.
Ten years passed by.
I was still sitting cross-legged under the willow tree, closing my eyes to meditate.
Among the willow trees, Liu Bai woke up from his indifference, and thousands of rhymes filled with them, and then he was restrained in his body.
This time, I gained a lot of money and I took another step forward in the understanding of the Great Way of Creation.
When he reaches his state of being about to complete the Great Way, it is extremely difficult to advance every step.
Under the tree, I opened my eyes and a trace of doubt flashed in my eyes.
I just felt that there was a flow of Taoist rhyme, but why did it disappear again?
He looked around and finally turned his gaze to the beautiful Wahuangtian in the sky, muttering to himself:
"That great and wonderful Taoist rhyme must be that Saint Nuwa has gained something."
Liu Bai was not surprised when he heard my voice.
Although he had been in seclusion for ten years, he could still observe the surrounding situation at all times through his body.
As soon as I came, he had already discovered it.
Although the magical powers I used could make the passing monks turn a blind eye to him, they had no effect on Liu Bai.
As for why I came from, although he didn't know, he could guess a few points.
Liu Bai sighed that Saint Nuwa really praised him, while showing his figure and came to me silently.
"Fellow Taoist, please."
"It's you!"
A look of surprise flashed in my eyes.
He recognized Liu Bai, but didn't know how the other party suddenly appeared in front of him.
Such a way of hiding the breath is simply incredible!
I immediately thought of Nuwa's words before and suddenly said, "It turns out that the person the saint said is a fellow Taoist. The old Taoist was ashamed, and that day he had no idea Buzhou Mountain..."
Hearing this, Liu Bai knew that he was right and smiled and said, "My fellow Taoist is so serious. I have been in seclusion for many days and am very quiet. How about the fellow Taoist follow me?"
I nodded and praised me for being kind.
The two walked in Buzhou Mountain, measuring the earth with their feet, climbed over the mountains, passed through dense forests, crossed over rivers and lakes, and saw the prehistoric tribes...
For several months, neither of them had a conversation.
At first, I was still suspicious, but as the journey went further and further, he had already had thousands of insights in his heart.
With his realm, he could reach the ends of the world in an instant, but he had never experienced the feeling of being down-to-earth and experiencing the prehistoric world before.
On this day, the two left Buzhou Mountain and walked more than ten thousand miles south.
Liu Bai suddenly laughed and said, "The largest habitat of the human race is ahead. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Is it the race created by the Saint Nuwa's enlightenment? Then we have to take a closer look."
After more than a month, the two of them came to the Shouyang Mountain Realm and saw many human activities.
Cutting wood and building houses, collecting mulberry and silkworms, reclaiming fertile fields, hunting and gathering, and it looks extremely prosperous.
After watching it for several days, I exclaimed: "It's only been more than ten years, and the human race has grown to Shouyang Mountain?"
Liu Bai smiled and said, "There are too many monks in the Buzhou Mountains, so the human race began to move outward a few years ago. In terms of the ability to reproduce and prosper, among the prehistoric races, the human race should be the strongest."
I nodded, with some thought in my eyes.
With the reproduction ability of the human race, it will probably take a short time to form a civilization comparable to the lich tribe.
But these human races are too weak.
Although Saint Nuwa opened a temple to protect the human race for thousands of years, the years of time were just a blink of an eye in the eyes of the great power in the prehistoric world.
