"If he dies, he dies. It's only a matter of time." The shadowy man said indifferently.
"Senior, this is surprising! Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. Besides, if one's cultivation level is high, one may strive for immortality. Every cultivator has a chance!" Lai Siyu said with a wave of his hands.
"Oh? You believe in immortality?" the shadowy man piqued his interest. He looked at Lai Siyu with a complicated expression and asked, "And there's that saying about something lighter than a feather being heavier than Mount Tai? Which mountain is Mount Tai? Is it famous? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Senior, I've been talking for so long my throat is burning. Could you give me some water?"
"Are you thirsty?" the shadowy man asked with concern.
"Yeah!" Lai Siyu nodded quickly.
"I don't have any water here!" the shadowy man shook his head.
You don't have any water, yet you're asking about it?
Lai Siyu frowned. The shadowy man gestured for her to continue, so she swallowed hard and continued, "Isn't immortality the unified long-term goal of the cultivation world? Whether I believe it or not, can't I just practice hard and live a few more years?"
If you foolishly go to die because you have no fear, then what is the difference between that and farting? Maybe your fart will be much louder than his death. This is what it means to be lighter than a feather.
If you die saving humanity, saving the universe, even if your name doesn't go down in history, at least people will remember you, right? If you accumulate many good wishes, you'll be reborn into a good family in your next life, right? This is the saying that is more important than Mount Tai.
As for Mount Tai, it refers to all mountains, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
After Lai Siyu finished speaking, she saw the shadowy man sitting cross-legged on the mat, looking lost in thought, and thought to herself: Oh my god, I hope I can talk him into unconsciousness!
At this time, nine shadows rushed over from the surrounding shadow and merged into it, and the person on the cushion immediately solidified.
What's going on?
The monks who were taking the test in the other nine rooms were also surprised. The shadows opposite them disappeared in an instant, leaving only nine bewildered young men and women alone in the room.
"Death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai..."
"Everyone has a chance to live forever..." The man muttered these two sentences.
"What do you think of the Avenue?"
Lai Siyu was stunned by the question. She remembered the old man's words and made up her mind: "The great way... is mysterious and profound... and cannot be described in words..."
The man raised his eyes and looked at Lai Siyu seriously, and three words popped out of his mouth: "Speak human language!"
Lai Siyu was sweating profusely in his heart. This guy is not easy to fool!
"Things like the Tao depend on one's heart. Whatever one's heart is, the Tao is it. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. No, it's all roads that lead to heaven. Chickens have their own way, dogs have their own way, chickens crow and dogs crow, they are all Tao. The Tao is infinite, but there is one path that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation follows!"
"What is it?"
"The strong are respected! The weak must rely on the strong to survive. The strong can make you live or die at will. If you can't even decide your own life and death, what qualifications do you have to talk about the great principles?"
"But no matter how strong you are, there must be someone stronger than you. Then when will you be qualified to talk about the great way?" The man's eyes flashed slightly. This girl is interesting!
"So, the so-called Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao are all fallacies! Why bother with something so far away? The most important thing in life is to live in the present and enjoy life! Otherwise, why cultivate immortality? Living a boring life for hundreds or thousands of years is boring. You might as well die if there is no fun. Why stay here and waste resources and spiritual energy!
In short, in my opinion, if I am hungry and someone brings me food, then food is the way.
If I am cold and someone brings me clothes, then the clothes are the way.
If someone hands me a pillow when I'm sleepy, then that pillow is the avenue...
Only by living can there be truth..."
"Yes, only when you are alive can you have the truth... Girl, you passed the test!" The man shone a soft light into Lai Siyu's name tag and then disappeared.
"How can we talk about Heaven's Way when everyone is dead? All living beings only know how to pursue Heaven's Way, but ignore the fundamentals..."
Is that it?
Was this old man fooled by me? Lai Siyu couldn't help laughing in her heart. This guy made her worry for a long time.
Lai Siyu didn't know that her nonsense actually gave this old fellow from Qingyun Sect, who only had a trace of soul, an epiphany!
"I will go into seclusion immediately. You can handle the next test on yourselves!"
A deep and distant voice echoed from the empty hall. The disciples of Qingyun Sect looked solemn, bowed and clasped their fists, and said, "Farewell, Old Ancestor!"
The ancestor, with only his primordial spirit left, gave up, which worried the people of Qingyun Sect. They had no choice but for the elders and the sect leader to join forces and only then did they pass the final test.
In the end, Lai Siyu entered the outer gate of Qingyun Sect as she wished, Erniu entered the inner gate unexpectedly, Gongsun Fei was also selected into the inner gate, and also Yang Liu, Cao Xiao, Zhao Shuang, Jiang Wenhao, Nangong Ye, Yin Qianxin, Huang Chenxi, and Li Keming were selected into the inner gate.
It was easy to deal with outer disciples. First, one hundred disciples were selected to go to Fa Peak, and then one hundred disciples were selected to go to Jian Peak. The remaining ninety disciples were divided among the other three peaks. However, no peak was willing to accept her. Even the outer disciples did not want a girl who would hold them back.
In the end, the argument ended and the leader Tiezhong gave the order to let her go to the cafeteria. Well, this was also the result Lai Siyu wanted, so that she could be with the old man again.
However, the competition among the inner disciples almost caused a quarrel among several elders.
First it was Gongsun Fei. Several elders argued with each other until they were red in the face and almost came to blows. In the end, Gongsun Fei chose Jianfeng himself and the matter was over.
Gongsun Yu was at Fa Peak, but Gongsun Fei chose Jian Peak. He vowed to compete with Gongsun Yu to see who was better!
Yang Liu also entered Jianfeng. Jian Han, the elder of Jianfeng, was extremely proud of having two proud disciples. He flipped his hand and summoned a white cloud, and left proudly with his two proud disciples and the one hundred new outer disciples.
Erniu, whose reported name was Niu Er, also attracted competition from all sides. In the end, Niu Er chose Fafeng, which was controlled by the leader Tiezhong.
After a long arguing, the inner disciples were finally assigned.
Fafeng: Huang Chenxi, Niu Er.
Jianfeng: Yang Liu, Gongsun Fei.
Lingyao Peak: ridicule, Zhao Shuang.
Qifeng: Jiang Wenhao, Nangong Ye.
Formation Peak: Yin Qianshan, Li Keming.
All the bosses took their disciples away, and the bustling square suddenly became quiet, leaving Lai Siyu alone standing there stupidly.
"Is anyone there?" No one answered.
"Is anyone here?" Still no one answered.
"It's on fire! There's a fire, come and put it out!" Lai Siyu simply shouted at the top of her lungs. She just couldn't believe that such a huge Qingyun Palace would be left unattended.
"Why are you howling in broad daylight? Is your father dead or your mother dead?" A Taoist boy in green clothes, about the same age as Lai Siyu, poked his head out from the side door of the hall and shouted impatiently.
You are so rude at such a young age, just wait for me!
