Chapter 23: Mysterious Li Laodao
Chapter 123 The mysterious old Taoist Li
When Xiao Yu came to the mountain temple, the mouse was sleeping in a daze. However, the current mountain temple was really not the same as before. Originally, the decorations in the mountain temple were relatively simple, but now the temple was decorated with lights and red silk, and there was also a small statue of the mountain god. Someone should have bought it in the town. However, this statue of the mountain god was not consecrated and could only be regarded as a decoration.
"I don't know what the spiritual energy you mentioned, but if you want to talk about it, there is really one place in our mountain, that is, the cave in the back mountain. It's just that the great immortals have already moved in. If you want to go, it depends on whether the other person agrees or not.
"Houshan Cave? Our mountain is so big, isn't that place?" Xiao Yu said in confusion.
"There are not so many blessed lands in the cave. There are only one or two on a mountain, and they are basically occupied by some powerful spirits! Those places are generally in deep mountains and saps, so it is not that easy to go there."
"With your current ability, you are still a little capable among mortals, but where you want to go is still too weak. I advise you to practice at home. Don't you have some formations in Maoshan? You can use formations to absorb spiritual energy. It's better than going to those barren lands, right?" The mouse explained patiently to Xiao Yu.
"Use formation to absorb spiritual energy?" Xiao Yu said in confusion, and then he thought about what the formation was mentioned by the mouse. Could it be the Five Elements Formation, which is arranged according to the Yin and Yang and Five Elements?
Xiao Yu has really seen the formation arranged by Yin and Yang and Five Elements, but it was made by his grandfather and failed in the end, but Xiao Yu has never heard his grandfather say that this formation has such effect.
Xiao Yu and Lao Shu talked for a while in the mountain temple, but did not leave. Instead, they sat cross-legged on the cushion in the temple and began to practice. However, what surprised Xiao Yu was that the spiritual energy in the mountain temple was stronger than that in his home, because the spiritual energy in his meridians was much faster to update. Although it was also dissipating, after it dissipated, new spiritual energy would be immediately replenished, and the circulation began to begin.
"No wonder some Taoist temples are built in the deep mountains. This is just in the front mountain. If you go to the back mountain, you will probably absorb the spiritual energy faster." Xiao Yu murmured in his heart.
Although it was cold winter, Xiao Yu did not feel cold wherever he sat, because every spiritual energy in the meridians would bring a warm current to his body. It was this warm current that prevented Xiao Yu from being baptized by the wind and cold.
Time passed quickly, Xiao Yu meditated in the mountain temple for only a short while. When he opened his eyes, it was already past one pm, and there was a rare sun today. Xiao Yu felt a little hungry after meditating for such a long time, so he bid farewell to the mouse mountain god and went down the mountain directly.
After returning home, Xiao Yu had a meal and whispered in the Taoist Book for a while, he actually found the so-called Five Elements Formation. However, the book records that the Five Elements Formation uses plants that compare the Five Elements, or rocks and other things. It is properly arranged to slow down the flow of air in a small area and have the effect of storing spirits.
"The effect of spiritual storage? It means that this Five Elements Formation can store spiritual energy without loss, or the loss will slow down?" Xiao Yu said in his heart.
"Can mortals really become immortals?" Xiao Yu said in his heart.
The fact that becoming an immortal may be the ultimate dream of a cultivator, but how many people have been able to become an immortal over the past thousand years? Or the sayings of those gods are groundless, but if they are groundless, why will the monsters in the mountains have heavenly tribulation, and why will this Dharma be blessed with spells?
Xiao Yu shook his head, feeling a little dizzy, so he hurriedly meditated on the bed for a while, and then prepared to go to the Taoist temple! This question, Master Bai may have other opinions.
After renovation, the Taoist temple outside the village has expanded a circle compared to before. However, because the female ghost had made a fuss here before, it still looks a bit strange. It turned out that the land was black, but the Taoist Master Bai paved a layer with sand, but the trees were still a little black, but after half a year of restoration, it has been much better now.
After coming to the Taoist temple, Xiao Yu actually found that Old Dao Li had come too, but this Old Dao Li still looked the same, wearing a thin long gown, I don’t know if it’s cold or not, but the appearance of the fairy-like Taoist bone has not changed at all.
Taoist Bai's room has also been decorated, and now it looks more like a Taoist place. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a yin and yang fish hanging on the wall. The three Qings are enshrined under the yin and yang fish, and a cushion is placed on the ground.
Xiao Yu, Taoist Bai and Dao Li, surrounded by three people. Xiao Yu expressed his doubts and wanted to hear what they thought, but this time it was not Taoist Bai who solved Xiao Yu's confusion, but Dao Li.
"Xiao Yu, if there are monsters, there are immortals. Just like the Yinqi you see, they exist. The difference is that Yinqi is in the world, while the immortals only need to lower spells or souls."
"Then can I become an immortal?" Xiao Yu said.
"Becoming an immortal? What's the best thing about becoming an immortal? It's better to be a ghost catching master." Li Laodao said with a smile.
"Of course, you can fly to the sky and hide in the earth and do everything. All those who practice Taoism want to become immortals."
"Everything can be done? Probably right?" Old Dao Li laughed, stroked his beard, and then continued, "Xiao Yu, you are too young now, don't have to think so much. Just do what you should do. Knowing too much will not benefit you."
"Why?"
"Hehe, the time is here, so there will naturally be someone looking for you. You are too weak now, and knowing will not benefit you! You must remember one thing, sometimes immortals are more indifferent and ruthless than mortals. They protect mortals, but they just get what they need."
Xiao Yu looked at Old Dao Li, and at this time he suddenly realized that Old Dao Li didn't seem as simple as it seemed, and he could not find out the destiny of Old Dao Li. There were only two points in this situation. One is that this kind of person has higher cultivation than himself, and the other is that this kind of person has no destiny.
Without destiny, how is this possible? As long as it is a human, it cannot escape the shackles of destiny. But does a person who cannot see destiny mean that he has escaped the shackles of destiny?
At this time, Xiao Yu felt a storm in his heart. He was a cheap master who was not bound by destiny. How could this be possible? Or is his cultivation level far surpassing him?
After thinking about it, Xiao Yu still thought that the other party’s cultivation level was more real than his own, but with such a high level of Taoist cultivation, why should he hide his identity? Or, what is his purpose for coming here, or, he is trying to hone his mind in the world, so he needs to hide his cultivation level and start with an ordinary person?
"Master Li, I think you know a lot. Who are you? I don't feel like a fake Taoist priest who cheats food and drinks," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, then who do you think I am? Does the bad guy look like it?" Li Laodao smiled.
"I'm not a bad person, I feel like a god, I should be a relatively down-and-out god," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"What, he is a god? He is a god, I am a Bodhisattva." Master Bai said angrily.
