Starting from the Abandoned Disciple in Laoshan

Chapter 72 Dao can be a knife, a knife can be Dao
When Shen Mo returned to Jiangcheng, a little light from the fire in the shadows in the distance turned from dark to bright, showing the figures of an old and a young.

The old man is Liu Fengchun, the credit knife man, and the young man is Ah Shau's younger brother, the dwarf with a little predictive ability.

Shen Mo glanced past the credit knife man, and looked at the dwarf, "Do you know that I will pass by here?"

While he was speaking lightly, his spirit turned into substance, causing great oppression on the dwarf's mind in a pervasive way.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, the huge mental oppression just now disappeared without a trace.

The dwarf fell forward, propped himself up on the ground, and immediately got up. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He glanced at the credit knife man, then at Shen Mo, "I want to ask you a question, sir, is that okay?" ?”

Shen Mo smiled lightly: "You talk about the problem first."

The dwarf saluted respectfully, "What is life and what is death?"

"I can't answer this question, but I can talk about my perception of cultivation over the years. Senior Liu, after listening, you can tell me your opinion."

This discussion was a bit sudden, but it was a key point in the dwarf's life.He's clearly hit a level that involves what it means to be "alive" himself.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to use the ability of foresight to wait here for Shen Mo, hoping to get a solution.

In Jiangcheng, Shen Mo was the only person who could give him great enlightenment on this issue.At the same time, Shen Mo is also somewhat curious about his existence. For Shen Mo, the existence of a dwarf who died at birth, whether he is considered alive or not, is really a testament to his practice. Encounter the incredible places of those weird things, and make a certain degree of inspiration.

Weird power is obviously one of the important ways to become a longevity species, but where exactly does it help longevity is a question worth pondering deeply.

He sorted out his thoughts and continued to calmly say: "Everything in the world is transformed from yin and yang. The moment it comes to the world, there is life and death. My goal is to transcend the limitations of life and death, and try to achieve only life and not death. From the subversion of the inevitability of emergence to extinction, what I am doing now is nothing more than prolonging this process.

It cannot be freed from the predicament of "certain death" in life.I don't think I'll ever get out of this predicament, but I have extra motivation for it.

The greatest joy in life is to challenge the impossible and make it possible.Do something that no one else can do.With its uniqueness, it is manifested in the difference between "I" and "others". "

The dwarf whispered to himself: "The difference between 'I' and 'others'."

This sentence touched him a lot. Whether he is a "ghost" born with predictive ability or a person with "ghost" ability is not important, but who is "I"?
The credit knife man smiled: "In my opinion, immortality is just a vain and unfounded legend. The real and moving life is the most touching part of life. It is too boring to live a long life and ignore other things. unusual."

Shen Mo smiled casually: "It is the touching part of life that makes people unwilling to be buried in the loess. The birth of every life is actually a miracle. When the encounters in life are fed back to the soul, sometimes There will be indescribable wonderful emotions born, and then there will be infinite nostalgia and desire for life.

Life and death is an inevitable topic in life, it is unavoidable.That's why I have to work so hard to try to solve this problem. "

Let's talk, Shen Mo walked past the old and the young.

The old man was nearly a hundred years old, but he was full of vitality; the young man was young, but he lost his vitality the moment he was born.

Is the boundary between old and young, life and death really that clear?
not necessarily.

Shen Mo suddenly had an impulse, are people in this world really "alive"?

Ghost paintings, hatchets, and black-blue snakes on the cuffs, they are also "alive".

The ineffable demonic nature is taking root in his body.

Oh no, since he practiced the hell way of Avici, he already had demon nature.Maybe even earlier.The obsession of seeking the Tao is as hard as iron, isn't it the nature of magic?
"Oh, when you stare at the abyss; the abyss is also staring at you." Such a sentence floated in Shen Mo's mind.

The credit knife man couldn't help but wiped his eyes. Shen Mo's figure gave him a feeling of fear and yearning. What he was afraid of was the demon nature in Shen Mo's body, and what he yearned for was the Taoist heart in Shen Mo's body.

Dao heart and demon nature manifest at the same time.

The last time I saw something like this was many years ago.

That was his senior brother.

The previous owner of the hatchet.

"Knife can only be credited, borrowed and repaid. It's not the person who pays the knife, but the knife, and even more so." The person who credits the knife recalls the crazy words left by his senior brother back then.

"The way can be the knife, the knife can be the way." When the senior brother was insane, what he said was not necessarily crazy words.

...

...

Shen Mo did not return to the Baoantang, he was in the underground river in Jiangcheng.Being underground, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, without being disturbed by the outside world, suits his current situation.

"You are a demon."

Standing next to Shen Mo was a white-clothed Shen Mo, in stark contrast to his black Taoist uniform.

"why would you say so?"

Shen Mo in white seemed to be a completely independent individual.

Shen Mo in black is another existence.

But both are essentially the same.

Indistinguishable.

Shen Mo in white: "You are a demon, not when you got the hatchet, nor did you start practicing Abi Hell, but you were a demon from the very beginning.

You can always sense the emotions in other people's hearts. As long as you want to use someone, you can change into the character that the other person likes without any trace. What is your true nature?I'm afraid you don't know it yourself.

Water is changeable without you, and ice is cold and hard without you.

The primordial womb is a Taoist womb, but your heart is already a demon seed. Are you sure you want to form a primordial womb?Once it is born, it will be polluted by the demonic nature of your essence.Changqingzi said that you are the devil king of the world, the devil king of the world, that is a demon who likes to play with people's hearts.

If you go forward, what you are cultivating is not the way of immortals, but the way of heavenly demons.This is the way that runs counter to the Taoist orthodox way you practiced at the beginning, and is completely opposite. "

Shen Mo, who was in a black Taoist uniform, had a calm expression, "So what? They are completely opposite and run in opposite directions, but you have to know that the earth is round, and in the end they always lead to the same goal."

In his words, the underground river seemed to become surging.

The figure of Shen Mo in white was distorted, but he just smiled slightly, and then entered Shen Mo's body.

Is this the embrace of the Dao heart to the demon nature, or the pollution of the Dao heart by the demon nature?
Shen Mo didn't think so.

He is cultivating the Dao Mind with his demonic nature.

Demonic Seeds!
The dark magic clothes on his body whimpered, and the deep magic on it, connected to the magic of the little snake on the cuffs, also flowed into Shen Mo's body, nourishing the Taoist heart with the magic. If the door knew it, he would be shocked and terrified. How deviant this is.

However, even Shen Mo would only laugh at the thoughts of these people.

Because if the cultivation method of Shangqing Palace on Laoshan Mountain can achieve longevity, then the ancestors of the past dynasties will not pass away.

Just because the practice has always been like this does not mean it is right.

Maybe one day, Shen Mo will be the one who came to the world to correct the practice.
