Chapter 869 Conversation
The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and tasting wine. The scenery was beautiful. On the right side of the tea table was the source of a stream, and on the left side was a tall building. It was made entirely of wood, and it was grand yet delicate.
The intoxicating soup is indeed a world-famous wine. It makes you drunk as soon as you drink it, making you feel confused and happy. If you enjoy this wine with three or five good friends, it will definitely be a great pleasure in the world.
Unfortunately, although Li Changxiao and Li Xundao knew each other well, they were not good friends. The two drank a few glasses of wine together and could barely be considered friends. Li Xundao smiled and said, "The old Buddha told me that brother Changxiao was just born in the wrong era. If he was born earlier, his achievements would not be worse than mine."
In the Wufo Temple halfway up the mountain, the Buddha Saoye is the Nan Buddha, one of the five great Mahayana masters of the time. Unfortunately, he had a bloody fight with one of the Ten Evils, and his spiritual energy was greatly damaged, so he will not live long. Li Chang laughed and said, "Old sir, you are too serious." Li Xundao said, "Not necessarily. It is said that monks do not tell lies. I think he is really impressed. He said that starting from the mortal world is a big step ahead of the immortals. Immortals are still human beings in essence. Even if they have great cultivation, they can change the stars and mountains and rivers with a flick of their fingers. They have great power. But they are still human beings. Many people did not believe it at the beginning, but now that their spiritual energy is exhausted, can't it be verified? Without spiritual energy, they can't become immortals."
Li Changxiao rarely drank the "intoxicating soup", so he drank it very quickly. Often, as soon as Li Xundao poured it into the wine cup, he would pick it up and drink it in one gulp without hesitation. After a while, Li Xundao got tired of it. After a few sips of wine, he was a little tipsy and unconsciously familiar with it. He said unhappily: "If you want to drink, pour it yourself!" Li Changxiao said: "That's good." So he poured the wine himself and drank it.
The Wanxian Peak is more than 100,000 feet high. A stream flows from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. The source is just a small spring hole as thick as a finger, flowing through the mountain wall, "ding dong" "ding dong" falling. The scenery of the Wanxian Peak is really impeccable. Everything is natural.
Li Xundao said, "To be honest, my Mahayana is more or less exaggerated." Li Chang laughed and said, "Why do you say that? You are the strongest person in the world, or in several worlds. I'm afraid you should be the candidate. If you are exaggerated, then who in the world is not exaggerated?" Li Xundao said, "Haha, that's true. I was just being modest just now."
Li Xundao looked calm and said, "But then again, if I hadn't been born at a time when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gushing out and the cultivators were in a prosperous era, and if I hadn't taken the lead and done everything perfectly, this Mahayana position might not have been mine." Li Xundao said, "There are more than twenty people in the world who have achieved the state of fusion. If you look closely, there are probably more than thirty people. Among them, some have barely made it to the level of fusion, and their path of cultivation has come to an end. Even if they took the lead and made another half step forward, they would never have the possibility of achieving the Mahayana position. Some still have some strength left, and they are just a little bit away from the Mahayana position, just a little bit of luck and opportunity."
Li Changxiao deeply agreed. Even if they were combined strongmen, their potential was different. Mu Chengfeng walked the path of love dreams. Even if he searched hard for his whole life, he could not make any further progress in the end. Even if he really found the real body of Meng Niang, it would only torture each other. Li Changxiao said, "That's right." Li Xundao said, "The Divine Calculation Sect said that I was a person who was destined to be calamity. They taught me character since I was young. They said... If my character deviated a little, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the whole world in the future. Therefore, although I have received the grace of the Divine Calculation Sect, the resources for cultivation are not much more than those of ordinary people. What is really abundant is inexhaustible opportunities. This is the real treasure."
Li Chang laughed and said, "If you directly allocate resources, it will be detrimental to your future growth. You will inevitably become a playboy. If you are given an 'opportunity' and try to seize it yourself, you can avoid it." Li Xundao said, "The elders of the Divine Calculation Sect are far-sighted. I still admire them when I think about it now."
The wine in the wine pot was finished. Li Xundao was afraid that Li Changxiao would be bored sitting there, so he took out the fourth famous wine in the world, "Tianbi Niang". This wine is blue in color. It is not like an intoxicating soup, but it intoxicates the body and mind. This wine has a mellow taste. After taking a sip, the fragrance will linger in your mouth for a whole day. With each sip, the fragrance of the wine in your mouth becomes stronger.
Li Xundao continued, "Later, with the help of the elders of the Divine Calculation Sect, I fought hard against myself and made great achievements in cultivation. I began to travel around the world, and at my first stop, I chose to become an official in the mortal world. It's strange to say, I am a good cultivator, and there are few people in the world who can compare to me, not even Su Qingmei. But when I took off everything and went to study, I didn't have that talent. After more than ten years of examinations, I finally passed the exam and became a scholar. By luck, I got a job as a county magistrate."
"It's really hard to be a county magistrate. It's much more tiring to deal with all the family affairs than to practice. I have lived in the mountains for quite a long time, but I am not very familiar with the things happening below the mountains. I really don't know how many cases I have misjudged. But I know of more than ten wrongful convictions."
"Since then, I have realized that emotions can easily affect a person's judgment. I have been a county magistrate for twenty years, and I have never practiced hard, but my cultivation has increased day by day."
Li Changxiao pretended to be indignant and joked, "Is it great to have a high talent?" Li Xundao laughed and continued to talk about his cultivation: "This trip down the mountain is not over yet. I got rid of my official body and started from the four northern regions. I measured the land with my feet, crossed the mountains, seas and rivers, met immortals and mortals, and called all things in the world. All the way down the winding south, I entered the four southern regions, heard countless legends of sages, and learned countless secrets."
"This journey took me two hundred years. I didn't think about cultivation, I just understood it in my heart. My peers, who were left behind by me before, have caught up with me in these two hundred years. When it comes to cultivation, it's better to take one step at a time. I stepped up my cultivation, and my cultivation is increasing day by day."
Li Changxiao listened to this and felt that the word "cultivation" was probably the simplest thing in the world for Li Xundao, the leader of the Dao Sect. Thinking back to his own early days of cultivation, it was very difficult, and he often stopped for ten or twenty years. If it weren't for his long life, he would have died of old age in the realm of Qi training, foundation building...
