Under One Person: Brother Zuo, I have reached the Nascent Soul stage

Chapter 5 I can reach the sky if I cultivate
Zuo Rutong was in front and Jiang Liu followed behind.

The two of them seemed very silent along the way and did not communicate much.

The architectural style of Sanyi Gate is actually very similar to the temples in Fujian, and is very similar to the Santian Gate of Xuanmiao Temple in Jingzhou in the previous life. The area inside the gate is spacious, with trees planted everywhere and gravel paths.

It was spring again. The wind blew, causing the tender green leaves to sway and also fluttering the white Taoist robes on the two men.

"The master said in the letter that you were born with extraordinary talents."

Zuo Rutong's voice was very soft, but it could be heard clearly.

“Maybe, it’s some talent.”

Jiang Liu chuckled.

Zuo Rutong also laughed. He could naturally hear the confidence and pride in the other person's talent in his words.

"Third level of Reverse Life, people with insufficient talent cannot practice. Forcing them to learn will only lead them down a wrong path that cannot be reversed."

Jiang Liu was stunned and asked in surprise: "Brother, you want to teach me the third level of reverse life?"

"Since you are a member of Trinity, you must learn."

Zuo Rutong smiled slightly and turned around.

He knew very well that the ten-year-old boy in front of him was extremely intelligent, so seeing the surprise in the other's eyes at this moment made him feel happy.

"But the master said that I have a bad character."

Jiang Liu hesitated.

He was very clear about the problems of his mind. The memories of his past life were still there, and he lived in an era of information explosion. In addition to various internal conflicts and pressures, his mind had long been exhausted, and he could not really concentrate.

For those who practice Taoism, this kind of mentality is covered with too much dust and needs to be wiped clean frequently.

"It's okay. Junior brother, after all these years of polishing, from my observation, even if there are still some flaws, they are not a problem."

Zuo Rutong smiled faintly.

People who practice Taoism focus on their mind and nature, that is, the cultivation of their nature. The main reason for this is that they are afraid of not being able to control their own power and making all kinds of big mistakes.

As long as one reaches the inner stage of cultivation, illusions of the soul will often tempt and guide the practitioner. Without a firm mind, it will be difficult to control oneself.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Jiang Liu was stunned, then immediately bowed and thanked him.

"No hurry. Before I teach you the three levels of reverse life, I have a few questions that need your answers."

Zuo Rutong smiled slightly and stared at Jiang Liu.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother."

Jiang Liu was puzzled, but still said with a smile.

Although the two of them have a big age gap, when they look at each other, it's like people of the same age are communicating.

"Junior brother, why do you practice?"

Zuo Rutong asked the first question.

"For immortality, for becoming an immortal."

Jiang Liu answered quickly.

Zuo Ruotong seemed a little surprised. He chuckled and looked a little strange: "Junior brother, do you believe that there are immortals in the world?"

"Why practice if you don't believe?"

Jiang Liu asked back.

Zuo Rutong was stunned, as if lightning had struck his mind.

Yes, if you don’t believe, why practice?

If practicing Taoism is not for immortality, then what else is it for?

Great power? Supreme status? These are just the fruits and flowers that one picks along the way. The ultimate goal is to walk as far as possible on this path and see the real end.

Zuo Rutong stood there in a daze for a long time. He did not expect that this seemingly simple question would receive a simple answer from his junior fellow apprentice. However, this simplicity contained a complex meaning.

"What is Qi?"

Zuo Rutong's expression slightly straightened as he asked.

"Qi, energy, is the origin and beginning of all things in the universe."

Jiang Liudao.

"What is life?"

Zuo Rutong asked again.

"Sex, character, destiny, life and body."

Jiang Liudao.

"Why?"

Zuo Rutong frowned and his eyes became serious.

Unconsciously, he realized that his test had turned into a discussion between the two of them.

"Control your character. This spirit is like clouds and mist, swaying with the wind. Cultivating your character is like cultivating this cloud and mist, making it unchanged in the wind, fire, and water. It has its own fixed nature."

"Forge this body. This life is like a skin bag sailing on a sea of ​​suffering. This body is the boat. The boat must be big and strong enough to withstand stronger winds and waves. This life is destiny, because you never know when a storm will descend on the sea."

"To forge the body and see clearly the destiny is to cultivate the life body!"

“To cultivate both the body and the mind is to use a firm temper to steer the boat, see clearly ahead, ride the wind and waves, and reach the other shore.”

Jiang Liu said softly. "In your eyes, cultivation is like crossing the sea by boat?"

Zuo Rutong murmured, his expression becoming solemn.

It was a simple metaphor, but it explained the relationship between life and death clearly enough. Perhaps there were other explanations, but this was undoubtedly the other party's way.

There are thousands of ways, just believe in them.

“Is it that simple?”

Zuo Rutong looked at the other party.

“The Tao is simple.”

“In the midst of clouds and fog, we should be clear-minded, see through the confusion ahead, stay firm in our direction, and see the road ahead clearly!”

Jiang Liudao.

Zuo Rutong nodded, as if thinking about something.

In fact, he has often been confused over the years.

Can rebirth reach the sky?

How should I cultivate the second level? How can I enter the third level?

He encountered a series of problems during his practice, and there was no one to guide him. He could only move forward alone, relying on his own insights and trying to find a way out.

For countless nights, he also questioned whether the secret skills of his sect could really reach the sky.

Because based on his current understanding of the second level, he simply couldn't do that.

The simple answer from his junior fellow student strengthened his faith, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Zuo Ruotong smiled and asked softly, "Junior brother, do you understand my Sanyi unique skill, the third level of Reverse Life?"

"Know a little bit."

Jiang Liudao.

Zuo Rutong nodded without any doubt. After all, they had the same master, and he didn't believe that the two had never mentioned it to each other.

"So."

"Do you think the third level of reverse life can reach the sky?"

Compared with the previous question, this one is obviously seeking verification for itself.

Because he needs an affirmation and a hope to continue.

However, the other party's answer made him shudder all over and his expression instantly turned ugly.

"cannot!"

Jiang Liu answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Brother, are you serious?"

Zuo Rutong said in a deep voice.

"of course."

"Brother should have some answers in his mind!"

"Dao begets one, one life two, two begets three, three begets everything."

"The third level of Reverse Life uses three to refine one, with the goal of refining the whole body into the innate Qi. It also contains the method of dual cultivation of sex and life."

"but."

Jiang Liu's voice became louder and his eyes were fixed on Zuo Rutong.

"Is One the end? What if I refine my whole body into the innate Qi? How big is the human body, and how big is the universe?"

"What's more, there is a word 'Tao' before 'One'!"

"If you don't understand the Dao, how can you become an immortal?"

Having said that, Jiang Liu sighed softly.

"This road is long, and the sea of ​​suffering is vast. How can it be ended with just one word?"

Zuo Rutong stood there in a daze, his fists clenched unconsciously, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"So, are you still repairing it?"

Unconsciously, he didn't even notice that his voice was trembling.

"build!"

Jiang Liudao.

"Why?"

Zuo Rutong stared at the other person and asked puzzledly.

Why build a road that doesn’t lead to the sky?

Then, he saw his junior brother, who was only ten years old, with a smile on his face.

Confident and arrogant, yet seemingly taken for granted.

"I'll fix it."

“It can reach the sky!”
