Chapter 127 The Dharma is Not Empty
Celestial Immortals are based on Tao itself. They construct themselves on the Tao of Heaven and Earth. They do not exist in this world, but in the Tao.
For example, when talking about creation, one will think of Nuwa; when talking about opportunity, one will think of Lingbao Tianzun, and so on.
Murong Ji came back to his senses. This statement was consistent with the image of immortals in his mind. However, he had never heard of or had any clear record of anyone having achieved that.
"It is true that the human way is vague, the immortal way is vast, and the ghost way is joyful."
The path of man is vague and unclear; the path of immortal is long and uncertain, and has no end; only the path of ghost is the easiest, and all you need to do is to enjoy yourself.
"What are you sighing about?" Tong Piaoyun looked at him with disdain. Murong Ji didn't care and asked, "Then what?"
Tong Piaoyun then said, "We don't know what realm the master has reached, nor do we know why he left or who he went to meet."
"He just divided the technique into three parts and told us to practice each technique to perfection and then exchange it with others so that we can complete the Immortal Changchun Technique."
Murong Ji nodded, said no more, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice the Eternal Youth Kung Fu.
Seeing that both of them were practicing martial arts, Xu Zhu also started practicing Tianshan Zhemei Hand. Not long after, his stomach started to growl.
After thinking for a while, he walked up to Murong Ji and the other man, clasped his hands together, and said, "My two donors, I'm going to go find some wild fruits. Please wait for a moment."
Tong Piaoyun waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up. Murong Ji never opened his eyes from beginning to end.
It was getting dark, Murong Ji stood up and said, "I'm going hunting."
Tong Piaoyun suddenly opened his eyes, "Wait for me! I'm going too." He jumped up and caught up with Murong Ji in a few steps.
Murong Ji glanced at her and said nothing.
There were many wild rabbits in the forest, but there was very little meat. Murong Ji searched for a long time before he found a deer. After capturing it, Tong Piaoyun pounced on it.
He bit the deer's neck and sucked the blood in big gulps.
The corner of Murong Ji's mouth twitched. He always felt that something was not right. Is Taoist martial arts so brutal?
After thinking about it, it is actually possible. Taoism accommodates many sects. In addition to respecting Longhu Mountain and other Taoist sects as the mainstream, other small sects can also call themselves Taoism.
Among them are many evil villains and foreign demons.
But Xiaoyaozi looks like a Taoist master, so...
Murong Ji suddenly had an idea, [She also repaired it wrong! ] Just like Wuyazi, she took the wrong path.
Murong Ji's eyes darkened. In this regard, he trusted Su Shi's vision more.
"Give me all your skills, and I'll ask someone to take a look. You might have taken the wrong path."
Murong Ji's voice was abrupt, which startled Tong Piaoyun, but he did not stop.
After sucking a deer dry, Tong Piaoyun exhaled a breath of satisfaction, "I know, I knew it sixty years ago!"
Murong Ji was startled, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked, "Is it Li Qiushui?"
"That's right! This bitch took advantage of the critical moment of my cultivation and attacked me." Tong Piaoyun's face was gloomy.
He gnashed his teeth and said, "Ever since I started practicing the Immortal Changchun Gong, my body and age have been frozen at the age of six. When I was twenty-six, I broke through the big barrier. As long as I can master the Gong method, I can return to normal."
"That bitch ruined my path! My body only grew to the size of a sixteen-year-old at that time!"
Murong Ji's mouth twitched, and he looked down at Tong Piaoyun's pair of giant hammers. Ah, isn't this... a benefactor? Bah, it's really abominable to ruin someone's life!
Murong Ji coughed lightly. Tong Piaoyun had not finished venting his anger yet and was still cursing Li Qiu Shui. After his temper, he fell silent.
"In order to achieve great success in my martial arts, I had to think of other ways to use a woman's extremely yin body to cultivate a pure yang body, hoping to break through the shackles at once. Who would have thought that I would become like this, neither human nor ghost."
Murong Ji was speechless, and she didn't know how to comment. "I will go back."
He picked up the deer and walked back to the original place, picking up some dry firewood.
After cleaning the deer by the stream and putting it on the grill, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhu hugged his monk robe and ran back excitedly, "My two donors, I picked a lot of wild fruits..."
Seeing the half-cooked venison on the fire, the smile on his face instantly froze. He placed the wild fruits in front of the two people, sat cross-legged beside the fire, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Murong Ji glanced at Xu Zhu, who was silently reciting scriptures, and suddenly said, "All sentient beings who have not yet been liberated have unstable natures and consciousnesses. Bad habits lead to karma, and good habits lead to results."
"Doing good or evil, I am born in a different situation, revolving through the five realms without a moment's rest, moving through countless eons, confused and entangled, like a fish swimming in a net... I have no need to worry about saving sinners."
Xu Zhu opened his eyes and asked with a troubled look on his face: "Since you have also learned Buddhism, why do you still commit such evil deeds of killing?"
Murong Ji sneered, "Little monk, your Buddhist teachings are not good enough."
Seeing that the venison was cooked, he cut the meat with the Tianwen Sword, placed it on the washed stone slices, and handed it to Tong Piaoyun.
Afterwards, he placed another piece in front of Xu Zhu and cut the remaining piece for himself.
"Donor, although I am not proficient in Buddhism, I know the suffering of all living beings and I want to save people from adversity..."
Murong Ji's eyes darkened. "Then let me ask you, how do you know that the road you pointed out to me is not wrong? You have never walked on it, so how do you know that the end of this road is right?"
"Your path is a very good way to heaven for you. But for me, it is a dead end. You say that you are saving me from transcendence, but you are blocking my path."
"Xu Zhu, the evil you are doing now is even more evil than the Desire Heavenly Demon!"
Xu Zhu looked a little anxious, "I may be wrong, but Buddhism cannot! How can I be considered evil if I lead the way for the donor?"
Murong Ji put the barbecue into his mouth and sneered, "The four elements are empty, but the Dharma is not empty?!"
I'm too lazy to say anything more to Xu Zhu.
The next morning, the three of them ate some wild fruits and continued to hide from Li Qiu Shui. Murong Ji grasped the timing and distance very well, preventing Li Qiu Shui from finding them easily.
Don't let Tong Piaoyun take it too easy.
At noon, Murong Ji caught another deer. When Tong Piaoyun was about to suck its blood, Xu Zhu immediately stood in front of the deer and said, "Amitabha, benefactor, this is a living creature. Please refrain from killing it..."
Tong Piaoyun was startled, and then a surge of anger rose in his heart. He jumped up and slapped him on the forehead, "You thief monk! Have you never had any experience with meat?!"
Xu Zhu clasped his hands together, looking remorseful, "I have been deceived and had sex before, but it was unintentional. The Buddha will not blame me."
Murong Ji burst into laughter. This sound seemed to have completely angered Tong Piaoyun. He pushed him away and said, "Get out of here!"
