Chapter 192 The climber at the foot of the mountain

"What is Tao?"

"Three thousand worlds, all living beings. Everyone has their own direction, and the road under their feet is the way."

"Is this the Tao?"

"This is Tao. But it's not the same as what you think."

Speaking of this, the man in white robe paused, turned over, changed to a comfortable position, and lay on his side in the carriage. He lifted the curtain with one hand, approaching the foot of the mountain, with a gentle breeze and drizzle, and he sighed softly: "The spring in Tiandu is much better than Lingshan."

In the carriage, opposite the man in white robe, was a woman with a slightly restrained sitting posture. She wore a hat and the soap gauze gently swayed, covering her face, lowering her eyebrows, as if thinking about what she had just said.

After a moment.

Xu Qingyan asked softly: "So, where is the way?"

"The Tao is everywhere. It can be in the jade carvings in the East Enclosure Garden, on the weeds and leaves of the palace, and in the curtains of the carriages." The man in the white robe narrowed his eyes and stared at the mountains, rocks and trees that were faintly visible in the raindrops, murmured: "The Tao is in your own heart... You can go anywhere you want, and importantly, will you regret it?"

Xu Qingyan closed her eyes.

“Where are we going?”

"Changling."

The man in white robe smiled and said, "You can learn chess, piano, medical skills, calligraphy and painting in the East Fang Garden... But no matter how much you learn these things, you will never see a bigger world without going out and you will not know where your way is."

Xu Qingyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. She stretched out a hand and gently held the red rope tied around her neck.

The lay Buddhist Lushan glanced at him and said gently: "The fog in Changling has dissipated, and there are many 'guests' coming from the sky, all of which are coming for this."

Xu Qingyan was a little surprised. She seemed to understand the reason why the closer she was to Changling, the more throbbing her mind was...

"Are they like me... for the sake of 'Tao'?"

I have been studying with Mr. Wushan in the East Xiang Garden for a while.

Xu Qingyan was confused and saw the true face of this world. Mr. Wushan taught her a lot. Now there is only practice left. This man in white robe who looks young but is actually one hundred and eight years old does not let Xu Qingyan try to touch the breathing method of sensing God, but takes the girl to find the illusory "Tao".

"no the same."

"No one in this world is like you." Mr. Wushan's expression was no longer so lazy. He turned his head, supported his elbow with one hand, pressed his palm against his cheek, staring at the girl seriously, crossing a layer of veil, but it seemed that he had seen through all Xu Qingyan's face. "Mortals need to first sense the heaven and then obtain the starlight. You don't need it. You are the favorite of heaven... Starlight is a kind of pollution to you."

Xu Qingyan doesn't quite understand.

She looked at the man in white robe silently.

The lay Buddhist Lushan smiled and said, "The Tao can be told, it is very Tao. This sentence has been circulating in the Great Sui Dynasty for a long time. It comes from a great Heavenly Venerable of the Tao Sect. The ancient powerful man is indeed very capable. This sentence has many explanations after much fighting... I prefer that if the Tao can be spoken, it is not the eternal way."

"After knowing half of your understanding, you will know half of your understanding. This is a good thing. Never try to understand too much." Mr. Wushan sighed softly and asked, "Don't you understand very much?"

Xu Qingyan nodded seriously like a chicken pecking at rice.

The man in white robe smiled.

"There are always some practitioners in this world who want to find another way and have really succeeded, so they have the Nirvana of Fire-twisting Nirvana. In fact, this is indeed a feasible way. Successful people, such as Song Que, have achieved the fruit that millions of people cannot achieve after twisting the fire, but... this is not a good thing." Mr. Wushan said word by word: "Song Que's Tao is no longer his own way, but the Tao of the ancient Bodhisattva. No matter how far he goes, it is not his own way."

Xu Qingyan had a slight sense of enlightenment this time, and she vaguely touched the meaning of Mr. Wushan.

"The Sui Dynasty and the Demon Clan Dynasty, these two worlds, together, have more people who understand this truth, but few do it." The man in white robe said softly: "Many people take advantage of the wind. These geniuses in Changling are indeed smart and have extraordinary qualifications. After observing the monument, they can rise up from the ground and jump out of a great realm, but the convenience in front of them will become an obstacle in the future."

Xu Qingyan clenched his fists slightly, put them on his knees, and asked with breath, "What do you mean?"

"Take sword cultivation as an example, from the first level to the sixth level, it corresponds to the killing power of the later level to the tenth level of the starlight realm." Wushan layman looked at Xu Qingyan and said calmly: "The reason why the young Xu Zang was able to sweep the Great Sui Dynasty was that even if he met a genius with a higher sword energy cultivation than him, he would not be shaken, and he could win was because he knew early on where his Tao was. When he stepped out of Shushan, he had already condensed the 'natural sword heart'. The strong heart of this sword was enough to break other sword cultivators of the same level who had never condensed the sword heart."

Xu Qingyan asked softly: "What about Mr. Ning Yi?"

The lay Buddhist Lushan suddenly laughed. He looked at the girl with a touch of playful expression in his eyes.

His mind was cut through, and even through a layer of soap gauze, Xu Qingyan's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

"Mr. Ning Yi in your family probably hasn't reached this realm yet." Mr. Wushan stretched out half of his arm, spread his palm outwards, and took the drizzle after drizzle. He murmured softly: "You care about him very much, why don't you go see him in person?"

Xu Qingyan just shook his head and did not answer this question.

The lay Buddhist at Wushan smiled and said, "I will take you to the top of Changling Mountain to see something, and also see what the Changling Mountain Guardian looks like."

"I heard that the mountain guard is very mysterious?"

"Well..." The man in white robe paused and said, "No one has ever seen the look of the guardian, nor know whether 'he' is a man or a woman. If you use the mystery, it seems that nothing is wrong."

"That mountain guard is very powerful." Xu Qingyan remembered the news that Han Yue had been beaten hard by the mountain guard here, and she spoke tentatively.

The lay Buddhist Lushan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not just a powerful person, it's simply... invincible. Although it's just a star king, it's enough to suppress the entire Changling."

"Why did he guard the mountain?"

"Because I made a mistake, I'm here."

The carriage stopped, and the man in white robe raised the curtain with two fingers and murmured softly: "There are many steles left by great practitioners in Changling, and many tombs buried after they die."

"The guardian has been here for many years...he is waiting for someone."

Mr. Wushan came to his senses, looked at Xu Qingyan, and said, "Although it is not now, the moment he is waiting for will come soon."

The girl silently remembered this sentence.

"Get out of the car... I'll take you to climb the mountain. I haven't been here for a long time. I remember that the mountain scenery in Changling is beautiful." The man in white robe sighed: "When the rain stops, maybe you can see that Mr. Ning Yi."

Slight pause.
