Chapter 5 Cause and Effect in the World, Lonely Luofu

On the banks of the East China Sea, the original Tianyi stands on the huge rock.

There is no moon in the night, but a crescent-shaped jade plate is hanging in the sky above Yuan Tianyi's head, quietly emitting soft light, illuminating the nearby waters for dozens of miles.

The sea breeze sways gently, rolling up white waves.

This is sixty years ago, Yuan Tianyi practiced the "Empty Birth and Death Sea Glazed Art" and came out of Luofu and saw the sea for the first time.

Sixty years pass by like a flash of time, and it passes by in a flash of your fingers.

The legends in the world are not fully true. At that time, Fairy Cangyue, the most outstanding and most beautiful disciple of Cihang Jingzhai for decades, stood beside him. Fairy Cangyue reached out to him, but he put this pearl in her palm.

At that time, Yuan Tianyi was dedicated to Taoism and killed the relationship with Fairy Cangyue. However, when he entered the secret realm of heaven and man, Yuan Tianyi did not expect that there were thousands of knots in his heart. Over the past sixty years, practicing Taoism was like untiing those knots one by one, but this bead did not appear, and this knot could finally be untied. Now this bead is right in front of him, and it can finally be untied. Once this bond is removed, it may be able to take that last step and transcend the world, but the scenery is still there. When I see this bead again, it is already in the hands of such a young beggar. The soft jade and warm fragrance are still between my mouth and nose, but this person has passed away. Yuan Tianyi's eyes did not know whether it was joy or sorrow.

He stood quietly for a moment, slowly turned around to face the young man beside him, "You have heard that person say this in Shuzhong just now. I can agree to a request. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you complete it."

The sea was wet and cold, and the boy was dressed in rags and his face turned blue, but he was swept from Shu to the East China Sea thousands of miles away by Yuan Tianyi. During the time when Yuan Tianyi stood still, the boy did not say a word. Seeing Yuan Tianyi asking him in an eye, he replied: "Can you accept me as your disciple?"

"Accept you as your disciple?" Yuan Tianyi glanced at the young man, "Money, fame and fortune, even if you want a lot of gold and silver, wealth is as good as a country, I can help you do it. Do you really want anything else and want to be my disciple?"

"Yes." The boy nodded.

Yuan Tianyi said nothing. The boy suddenly saw a silver light in his eyes. He immediately felt a stream of hot air explode directly in his Tianling. The sudden change in front of him became not standing on the huge rock at the seaside, but falling into a crater. The bottom was full of boiling red lava slurry. As soon as it fell into the magma, the boy's blood and flesh were burning and ulcerated, and his scalp seemed to explode. When he couldn't help but want to make a shocking cry, he couldn't shout out. There was also boiling magma in his mouth and nose, and both burned inside. But he was still undead. His skin and flesh had just burned and ulcerated, and tender skin was born, which continued to be painful and tormented.

"You saw that they were not my opponents and envied my supernatural powers, so you wanted to be my disciples? But do you know that this practice of Taoism is like taking a chestnut from fire, practicing my Luofu secret technique, ** spirit, you should go through endless pain and suffering." Yuan Tianyi's faint voice suddenly fell from the sky. When the sound disappeared, the young man realized that he was still standing on the huge rock by the sea, but the painful feeling of burning and ulceration of flesh seemed to be still in his body. For a moment, beads of sweat as big as beans suddenly wet all over.

"Like today, it is just a small pain. When you truly practice, the pain and terror of what you see are hundreds or thousands of times more than this. I, Luofu preaching, is different from others, and you will die for a lifetime. Are you really sure, don't want anything else, and want to be my disciple?" Yuan Tianyi couldn't help but breathe, and shook her sleeves slightly unhappy.

Yuan Tianyi felt that after saying this, the young beggar must have changed his mind. But to his surprise, the young man who was hunched over because of the pain seemed even thinner in the sea breeze, but his face had never been firm. After nodding hard, the young man who bit his lips replied in a burning hoarse accent: "I'm not afraid."

Yuan Tianyi looked at the boy with cold eyes, "I can promise to accept you as a disciple, but according to the rules of my Luofu Sect, if you want to enter me, Luofu, you must go through the introductory test, and I cannot favor this. If you can't pass it, you can't make any other requirements. Have you considered it clearly?"

The hunched boy nodded vigorously again.

Yuan Tianyi frowned slightly. She was obviously an ordinary mountain boy, but now she looked at her more and more she felt that the thin boy was unique. Her clean eyes were shining with a blazing light, which was different from the fear and numbness of ordinary beggars.

Is this the worldly cause and effect that you cannot understand?

Yuan Tianyi looked at the blue beads in his hand that were shining with a faint blue light. When he looked up, the light of the crescent-shaped jade plate hanging over Yuan Tianyi and the head disappeared silently.

A white and slightly blue light rose from the banks of the East China Sea and headed south, at a speed of more than ten times faster than the sword lights of Shushan.

"Blessed by Gods!" In the distance, on the fishing boats that were getting up early to fish in the dark, several fishermen looked at the white slightly blue light, and all bowed to their backs, fearing and terrified.

Yuan Tianyi took the boy to a mountain valley.

Are you going to have an introductory test here? Yuan Tianyi didn't say anything, and the boy didn't dare to ask. In front of him was a strange scenery, a dark blue mirror-like mountain lake, a reflection of the surrounding mountains and jungles, unknown shrubs and flowers were everywhere on the shore, and many of them were hung with berries of various colors. But it was April, and when spring was in full bloom, white floating ice was floating on the lake surface. When the boy looked carefully, he saw transparent floating ice sheets floating continuously under the dark blue bottom of the lake.

Yuan Tianyi, who was barefoot, walked to the lakeside, and the beard fell from his hands into the lake.

This pine bead that made most practitioners in the world lose their minds for the Tao and crazy about it was thrown into the deep blue lake water with thin ice that would appear at the bottom of this lake.

The beads of verdant fell into the water, but did not sink, and rippled with the waves, and suddenly broke out like a cocoon. The boy was surprised to see that a sapling grew rapidly and floated on the water surface. The branches and leaves were transparent, as crystal clear as ice. "What is this?" The boy couldn't control his nature and couldn't help asking.

As soon as he said that, the young man was nervous. People like Hetu and Lieyang Zhenren were like ants in front of Yuan Tianyi. In his eyes, Yuan Tianyi was a real god. He took the initiative to ask without permission, and naturally understood it as offense in his heart.

But Yuan Tianyi underestimated it, "This is the crystal tu, which blooms for a hundred years and bears fruit for a thousand years. After the fruit, it will wither. This bead of clove is the seed it bears."

"Isn't that the only one of them always? Then it's lonely?" said the boy.

"Lonely?" Yuan Tianyi was stunned. Then he saw that the crystal tree floating on the lake was small but full of vitality, but said in his heart, "What do you know about the ignorant boy? What is there in this world that is not lonely."

This is a mountain range with warm climate, abundant water and dense trees. It is quietly dormant in the vast and uninhabited desolation.

At Yuan Tianyi's speed of flying in the air, when he set out from the East China Sea, it was only late at night, when he arrived at this valley, the sun was rising. After leaving the valley, the boy saw various thick mists rising between the warm and humid mountains. Suddenly, he saw several colorful poisonous snakes tangled on the branches. Although the poisonous snakes and insects were avoided by several feet away from Yuan Tianyi, the poisonous snakes and insects were everywhere, and the deserted scene made the boy unable to help but ask: "What is this place?"

Yuan Tianyi stood under a straight mountain, looked at the desolate mountains covered by water with her hands behind her back, and said slowly, "This is where Luo Fu is."

The boy didn't know if the cave of Luofu Sect was like the legendary fairy aura, with nectar and jade liquid everywhere, but at least the poor mountains and rivers seen in front of him were far from the legendary fairy cave. The morning sunlight dyed a layer of golden light on his and Yuan Tianyi's faces. He and the straight mountain behind Yuan Tianyi were steep and steep. There were trees and vines on it, and the thick white rain and mist was covered halfway up the mountain, and it was impossible to tell how high it was. There were no roads or steps on the mountain, only a black iron chain with years and months hanging down from above.

"Three miles south of this, there is a small house where the local Miaoyi settled in the wilderness. The Miaoyi people are simple and there is food and water. If there are people passing by temporarily staying, you only need to replenish the food and store the water when you leave. You have not slept all night and are weak, so you can go there to rest first." Yuan Tianyi has always been as quiet and cold as the ice in the ice lake. At this time, he suddenly said so many words. The young man was a little stunned for a moment, but he heard Yuan Tianyi point the straight mountain behind him, "This peak is unknown, but my Luofu Sect is on this mountain. If you can reach the top of the mountain, even if I am a Luofu disciple, if not, then go out of the mountain by yourself."

Yuan Tianyi's words were cold and determined, without any room for turning around. The boy looked at the heart-wrenching steepness and the iron chains hanging in the clouds, but he didn't say anything more. After bowing to Yuan Tianyi, he broke a branch himself, pushed apart the bushes, and walked towards the small wooden house where Miaoyi was talking about. He quickly disappeared into the dense rainforest.

"Master", the figure of the young man had just disappeared in the woods, and an old figure appeared behind Yuan Tianyi. His gray hair was loose and messy, and his face was like the mountains and valleys, but the most eye-catching thing was the two extremely deep scars on his left face. The old man was wearing local Miaoyi's clothing, and the batik blue cloth had a smoky color. If such an old man sat quietly in the stilt house of Miaoyi's mountain village, his eyes were dim and smoking hookahs, it would be the most normal situation. But now this old man standing respectfully beside Yuan Tianyi's side

However, his eyes were as color as the rising sun, and it was shining with a light that was completely inconsistent with his age. Looking at the direction of the boy's disappearance, the old man whispered: "Master, this boy is strong and patient, has a good qualification, and looks really a craftsman."

"Is that so? Lao Zhaonan, you have not been in the world for a long time. I don't know that the world is now full of wars and hunger. The young man's eyes are full of anger, and he is angry with his own destiny, and he has a sense of courage to support him out of thin air." Yuan Tianyi looked at the old man coldly, "If you are concerned about his personality and qualifications, Lao Zhaonan, you should also know the truth that people's hearts will be seen over time."

Several wooden houses are located on the top of the mountain. These wooden houses are made of logs on the mountain and look very simple. The mountain is extremely high, thousands of feet high, and it penetrates into thick clouds and mist. Looking from the top of the mountain, you can see tops of the mountain protruding from a sea of ​​clouds.

Lao Zhaonan lit the reeds in the black iron pot with his back facing the mountain wind, and then put the burnt ash into the yellow Zhonglu tube. When he did these, his face was carved by the sickle of time, his face was full of concentration, as if he was polishing an exquisite porcelain.

"The yin and yang are born, and it depends on climate change. Why is it so troublesome?" Seeing Lao Zhaonan seriously watching the reed ashes in the yellow bell tube flying, a volume of "Golden Cauldron Seven Yuan Inner Sutra" that made many people in Taoism jealous and heartbeat was thrown on the wooden table beside him.

Lao Zhaonan looked up at Yuan Tianyi, who was not a human being in the world, and smiled, "This can pass some time. Master, there should be a heavy rain in three days?"

Yuan Tianyi didn't answer. Looking at the grinded axe and some chopped firewood scattered on another place, he asked thoughtfully: "Lao Zhaonan, how long has it been since we started fireworks?"

Lao Zhaonan grabbed his hair, "Three years? Or five years? It's too long, it's a bit unclear."

"Yes, it's too long, and you have to pass the time by doing this." Yuan Tianyi looked at Lao Zhaonan and said, "I am dedicated to the Tao in order to understand the mystery of sentient beings. Over the past sixty years, do you know what I have seen?"

"The master's glaze technique of empty birth and death was already perfected sixty years ago. The old slave is dull, how can you see what your master sees?" Lao Zhaonan shook his head.

"The law of the weak is natural, and the law of heaven is also the same." Yuan Tianyi said sadly: "You have no intention of harming others, but people have the intention of harming you. If you don't kill others, people want to kill you."

"What the master said is, but I am old enough." Lao Zhaonan's eyes were filled with the look of knowing fate. "The master is here, I am here, the master is gone, what is the boundary between life and death."

"Do you think he can really climb up?" Yuan Tianyi turned his head and said nothing. He made any woman in the world jealous and crazy, and instantly bounced a mysterious magic spell. A trace of white clouds spread out into a spectrometer of more than eight feet. The scenery from the bottom of the mountain to the back of the mountain clearly appeared on the spectrometer. A legendary cultivator of the Earth Immortal level can only use it. The powerful spell that can rebound most fairy magic spells attacked were just mirrors he used to do for a spy. Most cultivators would definitely feel that he was like a nouveau riche who was wasting his resources, but this spell that required extremely hard work seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Lao Zhaonan rubbed his rough hands. He saw the thin boy climbing up the chain with difficulty. The chain and the surrounding branches scraped scars on his palms and body, but he still climbed up hard. But for a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, the mountain was too steep and too high. After climbing less than a quarter of the place, he finally exhausted and slowly slid down.

"It seems that I can't climb up." Lao Zhaonan never doubted Yuan Tianyi's words, but after saying this respectfully, the old man with a Miaoyi accent grinned: "But master, when I saw him, I felt that he was a little different."

No matter how different Lao Zhaonan felt that the youth was from others, there was no record in the Luofu Sect that he had achieved nothing in one piece of classics because of whom he appreciated. The next day, what Lao Zhaonan did was still sitting and breathing silently like a dead person, and then began to move out a stone mortar that had not been used for a long time. He began to pound the millet slowly, watching the mountain wind blow away the golden husks from the stone mortar like a real old man in his twilight years.

Three days later, at noon, Lao Zhaonan woke up from a dead sitting, grinning. On the platform in front of him was Yuan Tianyi, who seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth. The spectrometer that required great power to consume was quietly floating in the air in front of Yuan Tianyi.

"This child is not stupid." Old Zhaonan's golden eyes flashed with a light. Just like three days ago, the boy was still trying to climb up, and there were more scars on his body, but his hands and waist were tied with ropes made of cloth. When he was exhausted, he tied the rope to the iron chain, like Old Zhaonan hanged bacon two days ago, and hung himself on the iron chain for a short rest. In the past, the boy never exceeded one quarter of his height, but today the boy was almost approaching the mountainside.

"Isn't it stupid to have so many geniuses come up with such a way?" Yuan Tianyi said disapprovingly, "What's more, can you climb up like this?"
