I Am Immortal

  Chapter 42 Leaving to visit friends, parting from the world of mortals

  When Qi Wuhuo returned home, he saw that the old man was still making tea with a calm expression on his face. When he saw him coming back, he still asked calmly, "Wuhuo is back?"

"Um."

   "How was the lecture today?"

Qi Wuhuo told the truth, and added: "The part I narrated today is all from Tan Taixuan's "Cheng Xian Lu" and the practice records left by my friends, and I did not pass on the narrations that the old man passed on to me. Get out." He still remembers that the old man said at that time that some parts are "you know, I know, only you pass it on", which cannot be passed on to the outside world.

  The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "If you can understand by analogy and decipher other cultivation methods, you can be regarded as an entry."

   "Yes, goodness."

   Immediately he picked up the tea, but didn't drink it.

   He was about to bring it to his lips, but he seemed to think of something and paused.

  Just holding the teacup, understatement, calm and nonchalant:

   "What about alchemy?"

When Qi Wuhuo was about to make alchemy, he mentioned all the techniques and skills, the old man nodded and said, "Where did you get the technique?" Qi Wuhuo thought for a while, and replied, "It was when I was preparing to open the furnace. , I thought of the general outline of alchemy you mentioned, and suddenly found that the method of alchemy is the same as the way of practicing cultivation, so I tried it."

  The old man said: "That's all?"

  Qi Wuhuo thought about it again, then shook his head.

  The old man seemed to be a little relieved.

  Qi Wuhuo replied: "When I was refining alchemy, I saw the sun and the moon appearing at the same time in the winter afternoon, so I got some insights."

   "Let's try it."

   "Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

  The young man showed a relieved look on his face, and then said:

   "Later, I remembered that you said that the sun is the heart and cultivates the nature; while the moon is the kidney and cultivates the life."

"The sun rises and the moon sets, every day is like this, as if the two phases are urging, and there is a mysterious feeling, every day is neither too late nor too early, as if the sky and the earth are also a human body, seeing the sun and the moon rotate, like the dual cultivation of life and death, don't rush , don’t be slow, practice daily, don’t slack off, that’s why it’s called [Qu Fu Hui].”

   Immediately, the voice stopped for a while, restraining the seldom revealed boyishness, sitting upright, and said softly:

   "It's all my own guesswork, I don't know whether it's right or wrong..."

  The old man paused for a moment, and asked gently:

"what else?"

  Qi Wuhuo hesitated for a while, and said: "Since the rotation of the sun and the moon is like the cultivation of life and soul."

   "So the heaven and the earth are also a human body?"

   "Or is it that although a person is small, his body is still a world?"

   "It's small, but it's also big?"

   "Is the first step in practice, is [Looking at the world outside, seeing the nature of oneself inside]?"

  The old man breathed out slightly.

   Want to drink tea.

  A cup of tea is hard to lift and drink.

  Only he could see that there were some ripples in the teacup.

   After a long time, he slowly nodded.

   Drink tea calmly, and only say good things.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh before opening his mouth, he seemed quite happy, seemed quite expecting, like seeing the beautiful jade covered with dust, after sweeping the dust away, he saw the brilliance, praised and smiled: "After listening to my general outline, I know how to use the earth's energy to urge Move the sun and the moon, and then refine alchemy, and when refining alchemy, you can also understand the dual cultivation of life and life, how many practitioners, who have been meditating for decades, don't know this truth."

   "They may know these words, but they are only taught by their teachers, and they don't have their own understanding."

   "Your understanding in this aspect is really good, and it's not a lie. Even the old man is a little scared by you."

   "However, the potential for understanding is not something you can be proud of, so guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

   "Walk slowly on the road, don't fight sooner or later."

   "Can you know without confusion?"

  Qi Wuhuo cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

  The old man looked at him with satisfaction in his eyes, pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help the joy in his heart, he stroked his beard and promised:

   "Wait until you really have a big success."

   "The old man may personally make alchemy for you."

   "And you can watch."

   "No confusion, encourage it!"

"Yes!!"

  Qi Wuhuo had a bright smile that really belonged to a teenager.

  He just felt that the old man was teaching him, and he just knew that the old man cared about him, so he was happy.

  But I don't know, the old man said very peacefully, you come to watch while I am refining alchemy, what a heavy weight it represents.

  Time has passed, but many things are no different from the past.

On the night before departure, Qi Wuhuo cooked a lot of delicious dishes. On the second morning, Qi Wuhuo fetched well water early, washed his face, and changed into cleaner clothes. Lock the doors, pack your bags, and focus on the white paper filled with the last wishes of those murdered souls, Tao Taigong's jade book, and the only clue of his past experience, the waist card of Mingzhen Daomeng.

   Then one piano and one sword.

   Apart from this, there is nothing else.

  Turning around and walking out, he closed his two wooden doors again, looked at home, turned around and saw the old man standing behind with his beard stroked, and the plum tree was in full bloom.

   "Is Wuhuo ready? If there are still some things that are not ready, you can stay for a while."

"No."

   "Haha, let's go then."

   "Follow me to visit friends."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and walked out with Qi Wuhuo. There was a lively feeling outside. The New Year's Day was coming, and the town was also bustling. The butcher killed a pig and yelled loudly. The wine shop Some skinny guys, but with a lot of strength, moved out such a big wine tank, opened the mud seal, and scooped wine with a gourd ladle that was dried and cut open.

  The clean wine fell down, and the aroma of the wine was so strong that people couldn't even walk.

  Those hawkers who only appeared during Chinese New Year also came with scarecrows filled with sugar figures and candied haws. On the small cart, Jing Ling was thinking, Qi Wuhuo remembered that he liked these the most when he was a child.

  When the parents are still alive, when the hometown is still there.

  The sound of frolicking sounded, and the children who only reached the boy's waist ran to the peddler and ran towards the peddler, brushing past the boy in the opposite direction.

  The peddler bent down and took out the malt candy with a smile, and the rattle stuck in his belt followed the movement.

  The children collected some scraps of iron, which can be exchanged for a small piece of maltose from the vendor.

People come and go, everyone is talking about what delicious food to eat during the New Year's Eve, whoever comes, but they don't seem to see the old and the young, the fireworks in the world, passing by the sleeves , the old man stroked his beard and looked at the boy next to him, and asked with a smile: "It's the New Year's Eve, it's so lively, follow me out, is that okay?"

  Qi Wuhuo replied: "Yes."

   "I've been through this before."

   "So, it's okay."

  The old man looked at him, smiled and sighed: "Huangliang Yimeng, the investigation has broken the name, but it also made some of your things more firm."

   "Go to [False] and stay [True]."

   "It's cultivating [Tao]."

   "Then let's go."

"Um."

The young man took one last look at the bustling town behind him, then turned around, was led by the old man, and separated from these people who were full of the smell of the world, with their backs facing each other and gradually walked away, and finally even the cooking smoke on his cuffs was like wind smoke The blue shirt was clean, the sword case was carried on the back, and a sword and a piano were placed in the sword case, the eyes were clean and gentle, only a fourteen-year-old boy.

  He walked up the avenue with the old man.

   walked out of the town slowly.

   "Old man, is the person I want to see very close? Can we walk there?"

   "Haha, it's near and far, and it's far and near."

   "No confusion..."

   "Come with me."

  The old man stroked his beard and looked at the boy next to him, with a pun, he said with a smile:

   "You are a talented person, and this old man will guide you."
