Chapter 65 What is Tao?
Unable to get Wu Changsheng's address from Qi Xiang, Li Chengfeng had to start from other places.
He left Li Ping'an and the other two in the hotel room and went to the Changsheng Club alone.
His idea was simple. Since the Changsheng Club was founded by Wu Changsheng, there would always be traces of him here.
Just ask any staff member of the Changsheng Club and someone will know his address.
When Li Chengfeng arrived at the Changsheng Club, it was lunch time.
The club had closed, but the thin glass door could not stop Li Chengfeng from entering.
He pushed the door lightly with his hand and the door lock opened.
The noise woke up the teacher who was working non-stop in the classroom. He looked up and said to him, "Student, our afternoon class starts at 2:30. You can come back later."
This means that Li Chengfeng is regarded as a member of the Immortality Club.
Li Chengfeng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly used the Hehuan Sect's charming eyes, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and asked: "Where is Wu Changsheng?"
The training teacher was stunned by his eyes and replied, "I don't know."
He doesn’t know where Wu Changsheng is?
This is a bit troublesome.
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then continued to give the order: "Call Wu Changsheng and ask him to come here. Come up with a legitimate reason and ask him to come here immediately."
The training teacher woodenly took out the mobile phone from his pocket and called Wu Changsheng.
The phone rang several times before it was finally connected.
The moment the call was connected, the training teacher seemed to come alive suddenly, and said excitedly: "Venerable, a big fish has been caught, a rich second-generation from the provincial capital, stupid and rich, could you please come and personally develop him into a member?"
The other party seemed to ask something, and the training teacher replied: "I just can't judge whether he is sincere in joining the club, so I called to trouble you. It's really because he is too rich. He said that his assets are about 1 billion. He is determined to ask for immortality. He is willing to spend any amount of money as long as he can achieve immortality. Venerable. What do you think..."
Wu Changsheng was obviously shocked by the assets of the rich second generation fabricated by the training teacher, and agreed to come without much consideration.
After hanging up the phone, the training teacher returned to his dementia state, standing beside Li Chengfeng, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait so that he could perform the next time.
Perhaps it was the power of money that took effect. Soon, the sound of a car backing up into a garage was heard outside the Changsheng Club.
A figure dressed in Taoist costume pushed open the door of the club and saw the training teacher standing not far from the door. Then he saw Li Chengfeng standing next to the training teacher. His eyes turned and he immediately turned into an immortal Taoist look.
"Which friend wants to ask for immortality?"
The training teacher pointed at Li Chengfeng and said, "Venerable Changsheng, this is the donor."
Wu Changsheng swung the whisk in his hand, counted with his fingers, and sighed, "A monk should not care about worldly affairs. It's nothing, it's also fate between you and me. Since the donor is obsessed with immortality, why not talk in a quiet room."
Li Chengfeng had just this idea in mind, so he followed Wu Changsheng all the way through the Changsheng Club and walked into a quiet room at the back of the house.
The two men sat opposite each other with a low table in the middle. On the table was an incense burner. Sandalwood in the incense burner slowly rose and dissipated in the air, leaving only the fragrance in the room.
This quiet room really has a unique flavor.
After sitting down, Wu Changsheng was ready to wait for Li Chengfeng to ask for advice first, but the other party was unmoved. Instead, he could not sit still any longer and spoke first: "I heard that you want to ask for immortality?"
Li Chengfeng said calmly: "There is something I can't figure out, and I want to ask for your advice."
Wu Changsheng: "Please speak, my friend."
"What is immortality?"
"Immortality is immortality."
"What is immortality?"
"Eternity is immortality."
"What is eternity?"
"The Tao is eternal."
"What is Tao?"
“Tao…Tao…”
A drop of sweat slid from Wu Changsheng's forehead to his neck, and his wet back seemed particularly chilling in the cold winter.
He didn't expect that the man in front of him would leave him speechless with just four questions.
He just sat there, just sitting there, his calm eyes seemed to be able to see through people in an instant, as if nothing in the world could escape his eyes.
Wu Changsheng felt uneasy for the first time. Facing such a pair of eyes, his back could not help but bend down, and he asked with trembling lips: "What is Tao?"
Li Chengfeng smiled, very lightly, with a hint of nonchalance, as if he was disdainful of arguing with him.
He opened his mouth and said, "The Tao is me, and I am the Tao."
"My way is the invincible way; my sword is the invincible sword."
"Once this sword is out, no one can resist it. Follow your nature, then you will understand. Follow your heart and go wherever your nature takes you."
“This is my way.”
The moment Wu Changsheng heard the first sentence Li Chengfeng said, he subconsciously wanted to refute.
He actually said that the Tao is him and the Tao is the Tao. This is too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
But then when he raised his eyes and saw that almost arrogant smile, his breathing couldn't help but hold, as if the person sitting opposite him was not a rich second-generation, but a peerless master who dominated the world.
Strange, very strange.
At that moment, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't grasp anything.
The path to immortality is long, and everyone is a lonely seeker.
Li Chengfeng's way is not his way.
He is not a true seeker of truth either.
So he probably didn't know how many people in the immortal cultivation world were begging Li Chengfeng to preach for them.
Li Chengfeng hasn't preached for a long time. After the masters of the same level as him gradually passed away, there was no one in the world of immortal cultivation who was worthy of him preaching.
Today, I was in a good mood and started talking for a while. I didn't expect that the other party was such a person with such low comprehension.
"What a waste of natural resources." He shook his head and sighed, returning to the topic, "I heard that Taoist Wu can extend people's lifespan?"
Wu Changsheng had experienced a dimensionality reduction crushing, and he no longer dared to regard Li Chengfeng as an ordinary rich second generation. Hearing this, he spoke cautiously: "Do you want to extend your life?"
Li Chengfeng nodded.
Wu Changsheng looked at him carefully for a long time, as if he was confirming something. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can extend your life, but you need to pay the corresponding price."
"What's the price?"
"Human life span is limited. The only way to extend your life span is to borrow the life span of others." Wu Changsheng replied: "I need you to provide someone to borrow life span from. Also, every time you borrow life span, I will charge a certain fee and life span as commission."
"Someone who wants to borrow your life span?" Li Chengfeng asked slowly.
Wu Changsheng nodded, "For someone like you, it should be easy to find someone to borrow your life from."
Li Chengfeng continued to ask: "Does the person who borrows the life span have any request?"
"The person who wants to borrow my life needs to sign a contract with me and willingly lend my life."
"What if you are unwilling?"
"Then I can't lend him my life." Wu Changsheng thought for a moment, and immediately added, "But you don't have to worry too much. If you really can't find a suitable person, I can provide someone to lend your life to, but the fee will be a little higher."
"Is that so?" Li Chengfeng asked curiously, "How do you provide it?"
Wu Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I have my own way."
Li Chengfeng understood that there was a huge industrial chain hidden behind the Changsheng Club.
With Wu Changsheng as the central hub, one end is connected to the rich and powerful who are delusionally pursuing immortality, and the other end is connected to the ordinary people who provide life span.
Human life span is continuously input from one end to the other through this link.
People in the world generally prefer life to death and hope to live forever and live longer in this world.
But the objective world is very real and cruel. It is precisely because there is life and there is death, and everyone is equal in the face of death, that this world is not so crazy that it is unimaginable.
Now, in this remote town, some people are clearly marking the price of life and trading it as a commodity.
Li Chengfeng didn’t know what was going on in this world? What will happen in the future?
What does life mean to them?
