When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Come back and take a look? It's good to come back and take a look! If you come back a little later, you won't be able to see this place?"

Hong Hanguang said curiously: "What's wrong?"

"If the descendants are unfilial, they will lose their property!" The old man smiled and said, without the anger of ordinary elderly people selling their ancestral homes. Hong Hanguang was even more curious: "You don't seem to be sad!"

"What's there to be sad? If the descendants are unfilial, then as a parent, I have no responsibility? If the descendants are incompetent, it is also destined to be destined! If the descendants are promiscuous, how long can I suppress them? Besides, things have come to this point, sadness is one day, and happiness is one day! Sadness cannot make me live a good life, why not be happier?"

The old man said, taking out two moon cakes from the food box next to him, stuffing one into his mouth and biting the other, and handing it to Hong Hanguang.

Hong Hanguang then realized that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The old man came here at this time, probably for the last bit of thought. But listening to his words just now, he not only took the mooncake, and was silent for a while and said, "You are really different from your grandfather!"

"My grandpa and I are two people, how can it be the same? He has his choice, I have my life, and no one will be the same as others in his life. Even if he wants you to follow his path, isn't that what you are?"

The old man's last words were a bit meaningful and meaningful, but his image was really not very good. He was chewing food in his mouth and sat casually on the ground. He looked at Hong Hanguang and said, "Master Taoist, I can see that you are confused! And why are you confused?"

"I just suddenly don't know why I practiced?"

"What are you thinking about? This is not something you like? I remember grandpa once said that you are destined to be a fellow god. According to the immortal god, you are a natural guest in the Jade Clear Realm. Why don't you know why you practice?" The old man was a little confused about why Hong Hanguang was confused.

"Initially, I practiced for immortality! But gradually I discovered that the immortality obtained by practicing was also a limit."

"Oh?" The old man put down his words and prepared to stuff it into his mouth. He ate half of the mooncake, listened carefully, and did not make a sound.

Hong Hanguang just wanted to speak out his emotions, and did not care whether the old man understood it or not. Therefore, the old man's actions made him involuntarily express some of the thoughts in his heart.

"Do you know? The creatures in the world fall from the innate to the acquired after they leave their mother's fetus and exhales their first breath. At this point, every move, every word and action will consume their own energy and spirit. Even if the creatures can draw nutrients from food and recover their spirit from sleep, it is different from the original."

"Besides, after consumption, replenish it again. Once it goes, there will be consumption and changes. Over time, the innate qi dissipates and the acquired qi accumulates. The creatures will grow from childhood to at least age, and grow to the peak of youth. Finally, as the innate qi is exhausted, they will gradually move towards old age until the acquired qi dissipates and turn into dead bones."

"The same is true for birds and beasts. Because the movement is more intense, even if the thoughts are less than ordinary people, it is difficult to last. Flowers, plants, trees, no words, no thoughts and emotions, but they also have a change of withering and flourishing, without restraint, and are useless to consume energy. Even if there is no way, words and deeds, few can last forever. Mountains, stones, gold and jade, without thoughts, and unmoving, are still difficult to resist the erosion of time, and they will eventually become old and decay and return to the dust."

"And those who seek immortals and ask about the Tao, we swallow and spit the vital energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and replenish the innate qi, thereby prolonging life. However, the vital energy we swallow and spit is also different from the innate qi of our own. No matter how we replenish, it is difficult to last for a long time, and it cannot resist the passage of time and change itself."

"So, it is said that practicing Taoism can bring about immortality, but the word "long" is the word "long" after all, and it still ends, not eternal life!"

Hong Hanguang's words made no sense, they just simply pointed out the problems he encountered in the pursuit process. After saying that, he looked at the mooncake in his hand. For some reason, a little strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder, if he had chosen another path, would it be different?

This is what Hong Hanguang has been traveling around the world over the years. He looked at the world, some people cried, some laughed, some were watching plays, and some were acting.

When life is depressed, people seek their own fun. When life is joyful, people seek their own troubles! People fill their lives with fun, boring, troubles and joy.

In his opinion, the world is like a burning house, where people suffer from torture all the time. But the world is also a pure land, and people are always showing their beautiful wishes.

In this complex world, some people seek death, some people seek life, and some people seek a wonderful life.

Looking at these things, Hong Hanguang, who knew that he could not live forever, couldn't help but think.

All things will eventually decay. No matter how wonderful this life is, after joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, they will eventually die. So when you are alive, no matter how joyful, sad, or distressed, it is just an embellishment before death, or the memories of others, what is the benefit of yourself?

In another thousand years, who will remember who?

Since it will eventually turn into dust and into emptiness, why is it for me to come to the world to walk? Like Hong Hanguang before, he sucked his vitality in the mountains, and seemed to live longer than ordinary people, but he could remove the time of breathing. He did not live as wonderful as a mortal. Is this kind of life meaningful?

These troubles were entangled in Hong Hanguang's heart. He told the old man that the more he said that his body became heavier.

"What did I think it was?" The old man suddenly laughed, stuffed the mooncake into his mouth, and said happily: "Didn't what you said have been recorded in Taoist books? The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency! The way of man can reduce the excess and serve the excess."

"Sentient beings are sentient beings, and sentient beings are human nature. How can you get the answer if you seek to witness the human way with the heart of the heavenly way? How can you understand the long-lasting meaning of heaven and earth?"

"Human Way? Heaven Way?" Hong Hanguang repeated softly: "Is the way of heaven like a bow? The high one suppresses it, and the lower one lifts it; the excess one damages it, and the insufficient one supplements it. The way of heaven will damage the excess and make up for it. The way of man will not be like this, and the loss is insufficient to serve the excess..."

He murmured softly as he recited the Taoist scriptures that he had recited countless times. When Hong Hanguang came to his senses, the old man had already left. Hong Hanguang did not look for the old man, but found a place to think about it.

A few days later, Hong Hanguang, who had a vaguely straightened the way of heaven and humanity, went to look for the old man, and found out that the old man had passed away a few months ago!

Hong Hanguang, who was a little melancholy, went to look at the old man's grave. Under a banyan tree not far from the grave, he saw the old man's phantom.

Looking at the banyan tree, Hong Hanguang's face was not very good-looking. Generally speaking, trees such as banyan trees with developed roots are not planted next to the cemetery. Although the layout is good, you can use the meaning of the banyan tree's roots and large tree structure to form a protective and shade for descendants.

Hong Hanguang's mind buzzed, and the surrounding void was broken, and he woke up from the illusion bit by bit. He looked at the much younger "old man" in front of him and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance from Teacher Yuchen."

After saying that, Hong Hanguang sat down on his knees, the human ingot pill in his body continued to rotate, and strands of vitality gathered from all directions.

Looking at Hong Hanguang's changes, Yuchen nodded with satisfaction.

As early as when he heard Hong Hanguang's name, he thought of Li Hanguang, the thirteenth generation master of Shangqing Dao Maoshan, who would see in many dungeons.

According to historical records, his original surname was Hong, but he changed his surname to Li because he avoided the taboo of filial piety to the Emperor Li Hongmiao. He was appointed as the Jin Ji of Dafa Lingwen at Wangwu Mountain, with the title "Mr. Xuanjing" and "Mr. Zhenyin".

Speaking of Mr. Xuan Jing, when he first saw Sima Chengzhen before becoming a disciple, the twelfth generation master of the Maoshan Sect of Shangqing Sect said: "I am really a guest of the Yuqing Realm!"

This is also the origin of Yuchen's evaluation of Hong Hanguang in the illusion.

According to the world view of the copy world, many characters in the plot are interspersed with each other, and their knowledge and identity will change significantly. So after knowing Hong Hanguang, Yu Chen focused part of his attention on him, and after discovering that his fellow disciples are destined to be, he even increased his attention.

However, although Hong Hanguang has made friends with friends and is good in all aspects, he also has his own flaws. His past living environment made him seem a bit "moderate" and he likes to be good at doing things.

Just like this time when Yuchen asked him about the fact that the disciples had split into three factions, he should make a decision instead of saying things that seemed fair but were actually just mixed with the words.

At the same time, I don’t know if it should be because I haven’t experienced any suffering in the past. Although Hong Hanguang pursues immortality, he does not understand the concept of immortality and the meaning of its representation.

Therefore, Yuchen specially arranged such an illusion as a tempering, hoping to make him understand what immortality is, what eternal life is, what cultivation is, and what cultivation is.

In addition, Yuchen also hopes to use the possible number of immortal energy in Hong Hanguang to do an experiment on the relationship between mind and cultivation.

To be honest, according to what Yuchen knew, at the beginning of the immortal path, it was very severely affected by the divine path and had no mind.

The best proof is that the gods of Yuchen's era will quickly achieve the fairyland after they have moved into the immortal path.

Like the Taoist Tongming who came out of the South China Sea with Yuchen, once you break through, you can extract vital energy from your bloodline, nourish Yin spirit, and reach the level of a day trip. After a little practice, you can go out on a thunderstorm day. It won’t take long to complete the Yin spirit’s Dharma body, try to transform Yin spirit into Yang, and enter the realm of the Saint-Saving True Person.

The most terrifying thing is that according to Yuchen's calculations, if Taoist Tongming is willing to accept the inheritance of the Xuanniao, he can naturally obtain many practices and insights, and there is no need for any mentality or tempering.

But the relationship between the mind and nature of practicing has clearly existed.

The most typical example is personal merits, enlightenment of the mind is to be merit, and seeing the nature is to be virtue. Yuchen's method of the Taoist fruit vows obtained from the Three Immortal Island is such a typical example.

Now, Yuchen also hopes to use Hong Hanguang's hand to experiment with his own merits and methods.
