Baishixian Road

Chapter 202 You Can Drink Tea
The most difficult thing to do in this world is not to move mountains and seas, but to change people's hearts.

That is to reverse a person's concept.

Sometimes the concept is so strong that iron is stronger than steel, even if you kill your body and soul, you can't change it.

Xu Mo knew this, so he didn't intend to change Gu Yunzi's concept of "people are like grass and trees", just as no one can change Xu Mo's own human state of mind.

A large part of the reason why he said those words was actually for himself.

It was also because Xu Mo met Gu Yunzi, a special cultivator this time, which gave him a new understanding of the cultivating and weirdness of this world.

The special feature of Guyunzi is that thousands of people are buried in the fields to plant spirit grass, but Guyunzi himself is a firm cultivator, humble and polite, with no evil thoughts in his heart, and would rather endure loneliness. Study the way of becoming a fairy.

The state of mind of people like grass and trees has nothing to do with evil at all from the perspective of an existence like Gu Yunzi.

Xu Mo just mentioned the method of becoming an immortal about the method of 'visualization', Gu Yunzi listened and sneered.

"The way to visualize is to make wedding dresses for others, that is an evil way!" Gu Yunzi said.

It turns out that in their eyes, there are also evils.

Xu Mo asked carefully, Gu Yunzi did not hide anything, but told all he knew.

"Things that are visualized can use the thought of visualization to strengthen themselves. It is said that they use the secret method to implant evil thoughts for others, and the evil thoughts will grow accordingly, and continue to affect the person who is implanted with evil thoughts. In the end, it is like this head Like grass, the parasitic things thrive, while the parasitic ones are sucked out of energy, and end up miserable."

At this time, Guyunzi pointed to the medicine rack over there, on which was a withered human head, only one-third of the normal size, like a dried jujube.

But it can still be seen that it is the facial features of a person.

And on this person's head, like hair, there are thick spiritual grasses, winding and circling.

This is human head grass.

Seeing this thing, Xu Mo immediately thought of a kind of herbal medicine in his original world.

Cordyceps sinensis!

So Xu Mo asked Guyunzi, human head grass, is the herb on it the medicine, or the human head is the medicine, if both, which one is more effective?

"Head!" Gu Yunzi was proficient in pharmacology, so he could answer this question without breaking a sweat.

"The method of visualization is actually still effective!"

"That's true, but the method of cultivating visualization is like the head grass in the medicine field. No matter how good it grows, it will eventually be taken by the master of the medicine field to refine alchemy into medicine."

"Then what if we get rid of the master of the medicine field?"

"Hehe, what do you rely on? Human head grass itself doesn't have this ability, and even if you get rid of the owner of a medicine field, human head grass is human head grass, and it is still a medicine in essence. Since it is a medicine, it will still be taken by people sooner or later. .”

"In this way, the essence of fellow Daoist Guyun's being like grass and trees can actually be understood as the cultivation of Dharma and enlightenment, not for grass and trees!"

"Xu Daoyou's words are correct!" Gu Yunzi stroked his beard and smiled, very happy, because Xu Mo understood his "man-made vegetation" from the core.

It's a great feeling when someone understands you.

"Then what if the human head grass can really kill the landlord?"

"impossible."

"I mean, what if!"

"This..." Gu Yunzi didn't think about this kind of question, and began to think.

Xu Mo continued to ask: "Then when the time comes, will the head grass still be the head grass?"

This question once again made Gu Yunzi fall into deep thought.

And the last one that made him fall into deep thought was Xu Mo's sayings of 'be hungry for food' and 'rather lack than excess'.

Sometimes, to get a person to accept a certain concept, tell the other person directly and force the other person to accept it. This is the most stupid way, basically no one will listen to it, and no one will accept it.

The smart way is to ask an interesting question and let them figure it out without giving an answer.

If you can't figure it out, don't talk about it, but if you can figure it out, then a certain concept you want to convey has actually subtly affected the other party.

Because if there is no influence, then the other party can't figure out the question you ask.

Xu Mo is using this clever method now.

Of course, he not only throws the same question to the other party, but he is actually thinking about it himself.

"What are you thinking?" someone asked next to him.

Xu Mo knew who it was without looking up.

is blind.

This hallucination has rarely appeared since it disappeared by the Perfume Lake that day.

May have been hit.

In the past, blind people seemed to be able to see through Xu Mo's thoughts, but now, blind people can't see through.

That's why I ask.

"Tao can be said, very Tao..." Xu Mo closed his eyes and recited, he was reciting a passage from the Tao Te Ching, and suddenly stopped when he reached the 'Gate of All Wonders'.

After thinking about it, I turned to read a passage from "Book of Changes": Tian Xingjian, a gentleman uses self-improvement, and the terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue.

The blind man fell silent.

Weird expression.

Gu Yunzi next to him was a little excited by these few words, and looked at Xu Mo at this moment, eager to hear the content behind.

But Xu Mo stopped talking.

As if lost in thought.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what did you recite just now? I think it makes sense. It seems to contain the laws of heaven and earth. Can you continue to recite it to me?"

Xu Mo still didn't speak, because at this moment, he was realizing himself and muttering something from time to time.

"Tao is the main thing, virtue is the supplement, and the rules of heaven and earth should be followed. This is the core of the Tao Te Ching... Fuck, it turns out that I was the one who made the appearance before."

"The divine way of observing the sky, but the four seasons are not indifferent. The sage teaches with the divine way, and the world obeys... As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will understand, and if you master it, it will last forever... Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Xu Mo suddenly slapped his thigh, his face showed joy, and he laughed strangely.

The laughter was so magical that those who heard it, such as Gu Yunzi, Lin Jiuyuan, and even Xuanshan Jun and Huai Yuanhui at the door, felt their scalps tingling.

At this moment Xu Mo raised his head and looked at the blind man next to him first.

The latter seemed to feel Xu Mo's gaze, shivered, and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Mo knew that this blind man actually represented "Ghost Talk", which would subtly affect him because of fear, doubt, and distracting thoughts in his heart.

The deeper the fear, the greater the doubt, and the deeper the distracting thoughts, the stronger and more frequent this illusion will appear.

Even in the end, he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and was affected by it, so that he became a 'blind man' in the end.

As Gu Yunzi said, it has become a "human head grass" for people to enjoy.

Naturally, Xu Mo would not accept this fate. Regarding "Ghost Talk", Xu Mo had already realized the magic method before, so he was not afraid of its confusion.That is to say, Xu Mo didn't take this influence to heart before, but now, his state of mind has improved to a higher level, and he is not affected by it.

At this moment Xu Mo looked down, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea that Gu Yunzi had poured for him earlier on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

The tea was already cold, but Xu Mo drank it happily.

What makes me happy is not the cold tea, but the understanding of my thoughts.

In the past, the more Xu Mo rejected the weird skills of those cultivators, the more he would be subtly influenced by them.After talking with Gu Yunzi this time, I realized that I paid too much attention to the truth, the false, the good and the evil, just as he understood the human world, which led to the promotion of the state of mind too high, but the cultivation base was not enough, which led to doubts.Doubt and confusion, in the long run, will do more harm than good.

Simply follow the will, and the enlightenment is very mysterious, which can be summed up as: tea can be drunk, but other things, which cannot be eaten, should not be eaten.
