Under the plum tree, I saw a young man discussing philosophy with an old man?

Several real people looked at each other, none of them understood the meaning of this sentence, and didn't know what the old man and the young man under the plum tree meant.

They were all sages capable of founding a school of Dharma, but they behaved extremely respectfully in front of the Taoist who pushed open the rotten wooden door and walked out. They just stood there quietly. The Taoist looked at the poem on the white paper for a long time, then put the paper on the stone table beside him without saying a word.

The leader of this lineage looked only middle-aged, wearing a simple Taoist robe. He bowed slightly and asked, "Senior, you are coming out of retreat today."

"But did you gain anything?"

The Taoist looked extremely calm and said, "Nothing was gained."

"The Heavenly Emperor banished me to this place. Unless I can understand the Great Dao, I cannot return to my position. I cannot step down the mountain. I have been sitting here for a thousand years without much understanding."

"When the mind is dry, I can't take a step, and I can't have an epiphany."

"Maybe this is the punishment."

He sighed slightly, paused, and pondered for a long time before saying, "But I dreamed of this person today. Perhaps it is related to the opportunity for me to leave this place. The disciples of your sect who travel around the world can help me keep an eye out for this person. If you can gain something, I will definitely reward you."

Everyone returned the gift.

The plain-looking, featureless Taoist waved his sleeves and said calmly, "Go down."

After the Taoist masters left, some of them asked the sect leader:

"Since this is an opportunity, should we use Zi Wei Dou Shu, astrology and fortune-telling to deduce the secrets of heaven and find this young man?"

The leader smiled and shook his head, saying, "What the Tao seeks is fate."

"Since we are destined to meet, we will meet again."

"If there is no destiny, you can't force it, and it will only create hatred."

"But why bother?"

"Tao follows nature, why cling to it? Those who act will fail, those who cling to it will lose, so just let it go."

The rest of the immortals bowed and left, and then practiced breathing exercises, and did not mention anything about passing on the techniques to their disciples. Regarding this matter, it was only said that the command was passed on to ordinary disciples, and it was not adhered to. However, it caused a slight ripple around the world. The youngest daughter of the Cui family, the beautiful and talented Cui Yuanzhen, who looked like a banished immortal, successfully became a disciple of the first immortal, and practiced with a sword, and had her own luck.

On the second day, Su Yue'er, dressed in red, and the young man from the Cui family were about to go down the mountain.

Cui Yuanzhen saw them off.

On the first day of entering the sect, she had already changed her worldly clothes into Taoist attire, and her three thousand black hair was tied up with a Taoist hairpin.

She has a refined temperament and beautiful appearance, but because she was born with cinnabar between her eyebrows, she has a sharp and fierce look.

Although she has not grown up yet, I already know that she will be a rare beauty in the future.

Many people have proposed to her. A few years ago, an old man named Li who was traveling by said with a smile that she should practice cultivation. Why bother marrying into a prison?

Even if you really want to start a family, you should also establish a relationship with an immortal.

Therefore, love the Tao.

As you walk along the way, the scenery you see is completely different from that in the human world. It has its own charm and makes you linger.

When I was about to walk down the mountain gate, I saw that the towering mountain gate had been renovated. The original majestic text was removed and replaced with four lines of poetry that were more like poems than couplets.

Cui Yuanzhen was surprised and stopped here.

He raised his sword and looked at the words, whispering:

"The White Jade Palace in the sky has twelve towers and five cities."

"The immortal stroked my head and gave me eternal life."

His expression moved slightly. Although he felt at first that it was far less majestic than the previous couplet, for some reason, the more he chewed on it, the more he felt that these short twenty words had indescribable charm, elegance, and calmness. Compared with that couplet, it had a deeper charm and a more lasting aftertaste, and he liked it even more.

The girl, who was known for her talent and beauty, wrote down the poem and asked her fellow apprentices beside her with a smile, saying:

"This poem is truly extraordinary."

"Was it written by the ancestor on Tianzhu Peak?"

The Taoist recognized this junior sister who was accepted as a disciple by the chief immortal as soon as she entered the mountain gate, and smiled and bowed and replied:

"Not at all."

"This is what the Patriarch saw in his dream, under a plum tree, when a young man and an old man were discussing the Dao."

"It has an extraordinary aura, more like a fairy than the original one, so we disciples replaced it."

Cui Yuanzhen nodded in understanding: "I see."

Su Yue'er was reciting this experience, and when she saw the couplet again, she couldn't help but feel yearning, and said with a satisfied smile:

"Discussing the truth in a dream and writing down such ethereal words is truly a very immortal thing."

“It’s really worth it to be able to come out and see something like this.”

"If I were at home, I would definitely not be able to contact him."

"Well, when I get home, I'll tell my father's disciples about this and make them envious!"

Thinking of the young man that his father valued so much, I thought:

Just talk to that Qi Wuhuo too!

Making bento broadened his horizons.

…

The axe blade chopped into the wood and then penetrated it in one go.

The firewood was then divided into two equal parts and fell to the ground.

Qi Wuhuo chopped wood, lit a fire and cooked. After he acquired magic, he could save a lot of effort.

Even when he was cooking, he was still flipping through the "Record of Becoming Immortals" and the practice records from the mountain god. The old man who seemed to have planned to leave today was stroking his beard and sipping tea. He said yesterday that he would leave in three days, and he was not as anxious as he had shown yesterday.

He said he was going to meet someone, but the old man didn't say where he was going or who he was going to meet.

Just smiled and said it was close to here.

He joked again and said that you were given three choices at that time, one of which was the first two taels of gold, a life of 1,200 years, and the other was to meet the Cui family's little daughter who was like a banished fairy and introduce them to each other.

Since you refused that day, I won’t take you there now. This time I’m just going to meet a little friend.

You may know him, and you may recognize him when you see him.

Qi Wuhuo became even more curious.

After putting down the notes, my understanding of cultivation has been basically sorted out and broadened.

I thought to myself, I just told the guardian gods in the mountains that I would give a lecture recently. Now I don’t know how long it will take for me to visit friends with the old man. In this way, I can go to the mountains to give a lecture first, and then follow the old man to visit others. During the meal, I mentioned this to the old man, and the old man smiled and asked, "You are going to give a lecture in the mountains?"

"Um."

"Do you want to be like the original mountain god?"

"Um."

Qi Wuhuo nodded. He had the alchemy furnace from Tan Taixuan, and planned to refine some elixirs for the spirit beasts in the mountains. These elixirs could also improve their vitality. The old man stroked his beard and nodded, then lowered his head, not knowing what kind of scripture he was reading. Then, when Qi Wuhuo walked out, he casually said:

"The Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit urge each other, and the sun and the moon go and come back."

"Refine the elixir to make medicine, and the only thing left in the world is the ashes of immortality."

"If you want to make pills, you should have the technique. This is one of the general principles, so that you don't have a pill furnace in your hand but don't know how to use it. As for how the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit are, how to use the [Method of Mutual Urgency], and how to make the Sun and Moon Pills, I have already told you all of these during the previous training, so I won't mention them again now."

"I like to make elixirs on weekdays, and I can't bear to see people wasting natural resources."

"So I'm just telling you."

The old man raised his head, stroked his beard and smiled:

"Since you want to preach the Dharma, then preach it well. There is no harm in preaching more."

"Good connections lead to good results. Traveling the world, doing nothing will lead to achieving everything."

"yes."

Qi Wuhuo was carrying a backpack and wearing blue clothes. When he walked out, he heard the old man say something casually.

Seems normal.

But it seemed different from the gentle whispers of the past, with some other meanings, and he said calmly:

"Don't let your reputation fall."

Qi Wuhuo paused, turned around and bowed, saying:

"yes."
