Chapter 279 There is still a way ahead! "Fellow Daoist." Murong Fu readily followed Lao and the others did not object. In fact, Murong Fu and Xiao Yaozi had reached a level that was difficult for them to understand. People at this level really don't need to abide by the red tape of this mundane world. That is the so-called "real person". "That's right." Xiaoyaozi looked at Changchun Valley and sighed, "I have been doing good deeds and saving people all my life, but I was selfish and became a demon back then, hurting innocent lives. This is my big mistake." Xiaoyaozi said, looking at Wu Xingyun, and said: "Xingyun, I feel especially sorry for you. Those people are all your people." The Child-Grandma of Tianshan said, "Master, a great mistake has been made. It is a great virtue to be able to stop before it is too late. If you can turn back, you can rebuild your merits. Master, are you still troubled by the demon now?" "Compared to the past, it is much lighter now, all thanks to Canghai." Xiaoyaozi said, "I asked her to recite Buddhist scriptures for me, firstly, to use the principles of Buddhism to resolve my hostility. Over the years, I gradually understood the principle of 'calm and unmovable like the earth, deep and profound meditation like a hidden treasure', and my evil thoughts have subsided a lot. I also tried to combine Buddhism and Taoism, and I have made some achievements, so I can control myself. However, once the evil thoughts arise, they will never subside unless I can reach another realm." Murong Fu said: "Daoist friend, speaking of the unity of Buddhism and Taoism, there is a young man named Wu Chen who is doing this work outside and has achieved some results. He wrote a book called "Shen Zhao Jing", which follows the path of the unity of Buddhism and Taoism. You may wish to refer to it." As Murong Fu spoke, he took out the "Shenzhaojing" that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Xiaoyaozi. Xiaoyaozi's situation was much better than Murong Fu had expected.
Murong Fu originally thought that Xiaoyaozi should have completely turned into Xiaoyao Demon, but he didn't expect that Xiaoyaozi could control himself to such an extent. After all, he was a Taoist master, and his daughter recited scriptures for him with the love of a family member, which helped him to control himself. Murong Fu calculated with his fingers and found that Xiaoyaozi was already 220 years old this year, and the maximum lifespan of Tianlong humans was 250 years. In other words, even if Murong Fu did not appear, the Sweeping Monk would not be able to solve Xiaoyaozi's problem. Even if Xiaoyaozi insisted on controlling himself for another 28 years, he would still die of old age, and then everything would be completely over. "Wu Chen is thoughtful. He is a good kid." Xiaoyaozi flipped through the Shenzhaojing. "Most people in the Changchun clan are lazy and unwilling to work hard. But with their talent, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can always achieve great success. Many of the ideas in this Shenzhaojing coincide with my thoughts over the years, and there are even some places that inspire me." Xiaoyaozi read very quickly, as if he was reading a quantum computer. He finished reading the Shenzhaojing very quickly and asked, "Where is Wuchen?" Murong Fu spoke the truth: "He will surely be killed if he does too many evil things outside." Xiaoyaozi: “.” Xiaoyaozi knew without asking that the only person who could write "Shenzhaojing" and kill him in the world was Murong Fu. Murong Fu calmly forgave him for going insane and killing many Changchun people, and he also tacitly did not care about Murong Fu killing Wu Chen. "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you have something to ask me when you came to Changchun Valley this time?" Xiaoyaozi changed the subject and asked. Murong Fu said: "I do have something I want to ask fellow Taoist." Xiaoyaozi asked, "What's the matter?" Murong Fu asked: "Having reached this point, is there still a way forward?" "There is a way!" Xiaoyaozi nodded firmly, "There is still a way ahead!" Murong Fu asked: "Why are you so sure, fellow Daoist?" Xiaoyaozi said: "Because when I was young, I once met Lu Zu!" When these words came out, everyone was shocked. Lu Zu, whose real name was Lu Yan, whose courtesy name was Dongbin and whose alias was Chunyangzi. People call him Lu Dongbin. He is the founder of the Taoist Alchemy School and a divine figure.
For the martial arts world, Lu Zu is also an unavoidable figure. He has played a huge role in the development of internal strength. "Oh? Has Lu Zu reached another level?" Murong Fu asked curiously. "I don't know either." Xiaoyaozi said, "When I was young, the Tang Dynasty was still around. I was obsessed with the imperial examinations, but I failed repeatedly. One day, I was resting in a roadside inn and chatting with an old man named Lu. The innkeeper was cooking yellow rice, and I fell into a dream. In the dream, I passed the imperial examinations and became a high official, but I couldn't save the decline of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, I accompanied Emperor Zhaozong of Tang and was killed by Zhu Wen. After I woke up, the old man named Lu had disappeared and the yellow rice was cooked. The old man only left a Taoist book called "Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi". The word Chunyang was written on the book. The ink was not dry yet, and I realized that the old man was Chunyang Zhenren." "I had a great enlightenment in my dream, and based on the Taoist book left by the Taoist Master Chunyang, I created the "Zhelong Sleeping Pill Technique" to prove the truth in my dream. As my cultivation level gradually improved, I could dream of other worlds, and sometimes I could even dream of Lu Zu. Although it was a dream, I felt it was very real, and that was the real world. Corresponding to the Buddhist saying 'one flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi', I knew that there are endless floating worlds in the sea of suffering. Our lives are short, and our desires are endless. We are like mayflies in the sky and earth, and a grain of sand in the vast ocean." "Later, I practiced at Huashan Mountain and Piaomiao Peak, and went to search for the remains of ancient immortals. I found Changchun Valley and obtained Changchun Gong. I thought I had already achieved enlightenment, but when I went to the outside world, I realized that I was just an earthly immortal with a life span of only 250 years. Moreover, once I left the blessed place like Changchun Valley, I would be nothing more than a slightly more powerful warrior." "I traveled overseas again to seek immortality, and saw the Taixuan Sutra left by Lu Zu. It seemed that Lu Zu was giving me some advice. I gradually realized that I should use the remaining paradise to break through the void, shatter the void, and enter another world. We are like fish in a lake. If we want to grow into a dragon, we must jump over the Dragon Gate and return to the sea!" "But I failed in my hard cultivation in Changchun Valley, and my life span was approaching. I gradually became restless and my mind was invaded by external demons, and I entered the devil's way. I thought that a hundred years of cultivation would not be enough to become a devil in a single thought. Unfortunately, after becoming a devil, I committed murder without thinking, instead of breaking through the void." Murong Fu listened carefully and thought quietly. In fact, for the Tianlong world, he and Xiaoyaozi are already very abnormal existences. Even if they leave the blessed land like Changchun Valley, the power they exert is comparable to that of the great masters in the Tang Dynasty. When they arrived at Changchun Valley, their power surpassed the upper limit of martial arts and reached the level of fantasy. They do need a completely new and higher world of Purgatory to achieve the status of Tathagata. "It's very difficult, the Dao is the most mysterious, don't take the golden elixir lightly!" Murong Fu nodded and said, "It's really not easy! Daoist friend, you are now in trouble, is there any way to save you?" Xiaoyaozi said: "If I work hard, I can comprehend all the mysteries of Buddhism and Taoism, integrate Buddhism and Taoism into one, break through the void openly, and ascend to heaven. However, I don't have the time. I am already 222 years old this year. But to work hard to break the devil's heart, it takes at least sixty years. I don't have a sixty years." Murong Fu asked: "What else can we do?" Xiaoyaozi said, "There are two other ways. One is to conquer the demon with compassion. The other is to conquer the demon with supernatural powers. Conquering the demon with compassion is like the Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed the eagle. In fact, Canghai conquered the demon with compassion. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, but she still loves and respects me. All my anger has disappeared because of her. But conquering the demon with compassion is something that even the Buddha cannot do all the time." Murong Fu did not even consider the option of cutting flesh to feed the eagle, and asked directly: "How about using magical powers to defeat the demon? Could it be that we just beat him?" "Yes, just fight!" Xiaoyaozi said, "Don't think that demons are something great. Demons also bully the weak and fear the strong, bully the good and fear the evil, bully the weak and fear the strong. This is why I was so happy when I knew that you had mastered Xiaoyao Yufeng. You have such magical powers, and you are accompanied by such a master. This is the smell of gunpowder. You also prepared these strange weapons. It seems that you have been planning to attack me for a long time." Murong Fu said calmly: "This is just to be prepared. Daoist friend, let me get rid of your evil nature!" "That's fine." Xiaoyaozi said, "But we should not destroy a blessed place like Changchun Valley. We can still bridge the power of the paradise outside the valley." Both of them were eager to try. After all, Murong Fu had never seen someone as strong as Xiaoyaozi. Although Xiaoyaozi had seen Lu Zu, it was only a brief encounter and he didn't know whether it was a dream or an illusion. The flesh and blood body he saw was the strongest Murong Fu!
