Chapter 49: Cultivation Should Be a Passion for the Tao

The next period of time.

With Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu's attitude towards everyone being almost the same as before, everyone gradually changed from being cautious at first to excitement and excitement later on.

Perhaps out of a desire to talk despite being misunderstood for a long time, Liu Hongyu is also willing to share everything with people in the valley.

Through similar storytelling methods, it can also help the people in the valley adapt to the unconventional changes in the Hidden Immortal Valley.

Fortunately, the truth about "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" has been laid out, and the people in the valley obviously have a lot of mental endurance.

Looking back at what happened in the past from today's perspective, everyone will feel particularly emotional.

It turns out that Mr. Liu has never been mentally ill. It turns out that Mr. Zhuang is not a mortal at all. It turns out that there are deeper reasons for chasing him to the Jin Dynasty. There are many things that happen beyond the sight of ordinary people, and it is even more important for Mr. Liu on his journey to becoming an immortal. Big test.

In other words, everything Liu Dashao said is true. What is written in the "background description" in the script of the Delirium Plan is not equivalent to a "case reference". In fact, the condition is the real situation.

If the people in the valley first joined the plan, they felt ridiculous when they saw the "background board".

So now that they know the truth, the people in the valley only feel absurd in their hearts.

Reality often unfolds before people's eyes in the most unexpected ways.

Immortals and demons, Tao and human hearts, mortal rich people and idiots seeking immortality, mental hospitals and fake ancient society, peach blossom gardens and waiting immortal masters...

Confused? coincide?

Maybe it’s God’s will!

------------------

Of course Liu Hongyu will not begrudge the information he knows.

From the Jedi Heavenly Power, to the exhaustion of spiritual energy in the outside world, from the present moment of reopening the immortal veins, to the sense of mission to revitalize the immortal way.

How ridiculous these things once sounded, now they sound so touching and even exciting...

At this time, some people suddenly realized that some things had already shown signs.

For example, when Tang Bin returned from the danger of the Jin Dynasty, the things he told in front of the campfire were exaggerated and bragging, but there were also some foreshadowings.

In fact, now, through Liu Hongyu's mouth, those rumors have been "corroborated" by the people in the valley themselves.

In Zhuang Lin's view, the way people think about it is somewhat skewed, but overall it is still within a relatively correct range.

The main reason is that Zhuang Lin himself really can't explain his origin. It's better to keep the matter of traveling from another world deep in his heart.

So since some rumors were harmless, he let them go.

Even to a certain extent, this can enhance everyone's confidence and make them less confused about the future.

In the words of Liu Hongyu, it also helps to revitalize the immortal way.

Of course, Zhuang Lin personally thinks that the banner of revitalizing the immortal way is a bit big, and there must be many practitioners on the other side, but he has inherited that lineage and can carry it forward.

------------------

After this, the Hidden Immortal Valley inevitably became lively.

Although life is still going on, everyone has more expectations than before. It is still difficult for ordinary people to refuse the desire to become an immortal.

Master Zhuang did not say who can do it and who cannot, so to a certain extent everyone has a chance.

This also caused a strange phenomenon, that is, when the school was in class as usual and the children came home from get out of class, the adults would ask the children some details. They were not only concerned about their studies, but also wanted to know whether the master was in class. Bring some magic sometimes.

Liu Hongyu is often asked questions by people in the valley.

In the early morning of this day, Liu Hongyu, Fu Zeyang and others were practicing boxing in the valley. Others from the valley came over one after another, but Zhuang Lin had not been there recently.

After Tang Bin learned a set of long punches that were not very standard, he couldn't help but get closer to Liu Hongyu.

"Mr. Liu, you are Mr. Zi'an's eldest disciple, and you have already achieved immortality. You also said that those who can stay in the valley are those who are destined to be immortals. When do you think I can achieve immortality?"

The gossip before was relatively subtle, and most of it was told by Liu Hongyu to others. Now that he is more familiar with it, he finally couldn't help but start asking sensitive questions.

Liu Hongyu responded to questions while doing Tai Chi.

"Don't talk about becoming an immortal so easily. That's something you only consider if you have a very high level of cultivation. I don't even dare to think about it. I can only say that you have entered the immortal path!"

"Oh, what the hell! You know what I mean!"

Others nearby also pricked up their ears to listen, and some even came over directly.

"Mr. Liu, please tell me if it's convenient for you. We don't dare to disturb Mr. Zian easily..."

Liu Hongyu stopped his fists, smiled on his face, and looked at the people around him. They were all curious and nervous.

"The secret must not be revealed!"

"Hey Mr. Liu, please stop teasing us!" "That's right, you've teased us with such words many times!"

"Yes, or if you can't become Mr. Zian's apprentice, you can accept us as your apprentices!"

"I?"

Liu Hongyu was startled and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, what qualifications do I have now!"

After speaking, Liu Hongyu stopped joking, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then pointed to the school in the distance.

"Actually, it's very simple. Just ask Master directly!"

Tang Bin and the others were immediately discouraged. If they had the guts, would they still ask you?

Fu Zeyang hesitated and finally spoke.

"Brother Liu, you know that we are all ordinary people. If we have the opportunity to pursue the immortal path, who would not want to? Of course, we all know that seeking immortality requires patience, but if you can reveal it, it doesn't matter if you say something..."

Liu Hongyu's face returned to seriousness, nodded and looked at the crowd.

"I was not joking just now. Master said that those who can stay in the valley have good character, not to mention fate. If you really want to, just ask directly. I also asked when I first came here. If a person doesn't dare, well... I'll give you a trick!"

Liu Hongyu said in a babble, and everyone looked at each other but no one spoke.

Then Tang Bin shook his head and spoke first.

"That would be like forcing abdication in a drama. I can't lose face. Besides, who is Mr. Zi'an? He is an immortal..."

"Yes, Mr. Liu, your idea..." "Let's just pretend we didn't hear it, so that Mr. Zi'an won't teach you a lesson!"

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. Maybe Master Zhuang will find out that I have outstanding talent one day!"

Liu Hongyu was also happy.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes. What I just said is true, but it's not my stupid move. It's what Master said himself."

"Ah?" "Really?" "This is not a joke!"

"Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you don't have to go!"

After saying that, Liu Hongyu left the threshing ground with a smile, leaving behind a group of people who gradually turned from astonishment to surprise.

-----------------

On this day, when the school was in class, there were not only a dozen children in the school.

Outside the school, from the corridor to the outside of the house, and even by the window, a group of men and women of all ages in the valley came, and even Mr. Mu let go of his reserve and came together.

Classes were going on as usual in the school, and no one disturbed the people who were gradually coming outside, just waiting quietly.

After a long time, Zhuang Lin put down the book, glanced outside the hall, and then simply walked to the door.

The crowd outside was in a commotion, and those at the window also leaned towards the door, all looking forward to Zhuang Lin.

Liu Hongyu also stood up from the desk in the school, walked out of the school and came to Zhuang Lin. Other students followed suit and ran out one after another.

After these days of settling down, people's impetuous hearts have returned to normal to a certain extent.

Zhuang Lin looked at everyone, a smile appeared on his face, and asked knowingly.

"Do you all want to become immortals?"

In the silence of the crowd, someone couldn't help but answer.

"Mr. Zi'an is joking. We also know that it is not easy to become immortals. We can only say that we want a chance to cultivate immortals. If we don't have that qualification, you know that we are all open-minded people, you can just say it directly, so that we can give up..."

Zhuang Lin nodded, looked around, and patted a little girl.

"You come and tell your uncle."

The child was stunned for a moment, then reacted and spoke boldly.

"Uncle, the teacher said that the opportunity of immortality should not be taken lightly. It's not that we don't want to, but that we can't. Ordinary people need to have enough spirituality to practice. We don't have any natural treasures to help us now. We can only rely on ourselves. If the spirituality is not tempered enough, you will only be dizzy if you look at the immortal book..."

The person who spoke first was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, you little girl knows so much. I asked you before why you said that the school didn't teach it?"

"Ah... then, that can't be said casually..."

The child was obviously panicked, and Zhuang Lin smiled.

"As Hui'er said, it is difficult for ordinary people to ascend to the immortal path. It all depends on the word spirituality. But don't panic. Today I will talk about this spirituality!"

Zhuang Lin said and sat down cross-legged. The people around him followed suit, and the people outside didn't mind the dirt on the ground. After someone took the lead, they all sat down one after another, with some excitement on their faces.

This can be regarded as a fairy preaching!

Nowadays, the population of the valley has decreased greatly. In the past, the space in front of the school could not accommodate all the people.

Most of them are middle-aged and elderly, but they all look energetic.

"As the saying goes, man is the spirit of all things. This sentence is actually very reasonable. Compared with other living beings between heaven and earth, man is born with spirituality and has unique conditions, but ordinary people lack purity. In addition, the world is extremely complicated and is easily trapped by acquired trivial matters and various desires..."

Zhuang Lin's words are eloquent. Through his own and Liu Hongyu's practice, plus long-term observations, and some deductions after reading ancient and modern books, he points out the core of spirituality for everyone.

The so-called spirituality is sometimes not as high-sounding as people think.

When people's hearts are in the right direction and concentrate on studying one path, the brilliance of spirituality often begins to flash.

In ancient times, various paths, the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and all walks of life, as long as you have to muddle through, the more you study and focus on one path, the spirituality will help you.

Therefore, to a certain extent, being in the cave environment and maintaining a pious heart on the path you are good at is already a very good way to temper your soul.

For example, many master craftsmen who are already inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, in addition to not liking the outside world and thinking that they are eliminated by the times, they also have the idea of ​​studying their skills while retiring.

If it weren't for their lifelong passion, they wouldn't have reached their current level!

Of course, they also have a little bit of resentment towards the times in their hearts, and confidence that their own skills can still be improved, so this is a true piety!

Zhuang Lin tried to explain it in detail, and he believed that he had made it clear!

The so-called practice should be the passion for the Tao. If you reach the pinnacle in one Tao, you are on the road of practice, and if you get the opportunity of the immortal Tao, you will get twice the result with half the effort!

"So in fact, there are some people who may be able to awaken their spirits in a short time..."

Zhuang Lin's words were pointed, and many people understood who he was referring to.

Many people also showed sudden realization or joy, but some people looked sad.

"Mr. Zi'an, what should I do if I only know how to farm..."

Zhuang Lin smiled and looked at the person who spoke.

"If you plant with your heart, it is not a Tao. Of course, if you are uneasy in your heart, you can also find a master to worship and learn what you think is the real skill!"

After Zhuang Lin said this, many people subconsciously looked at the masters in the crowd.

There are actually quite a few old craftsmen in the valley who can be called masters, and everyone has long known this!
