Cultivation: From the Inauguration of Druid

Time flies, fleeting in the blink of an eye, counting hastily, everyone has lived in the Lu Mansion for over ten years.

In the past ten years, Tongtian Sect has not made any major moves except to trouble everyone from time to time.

It made the world fall into a tranquility again.

Everyone practiced on their own, and Lu Dongbin also began to teach Bai Mudan to practice Taoism, hoping to make her become a fairy and avoid the thousand-year love calamity.

At the same time, I also want to take advantage of this relationship, hoping to learn from Lingqing and He Xiangu, and turn love into family affection.

Instead of being a Taoist companion who seeks the Tao together.

On this day, Lingqing was admiring the lotus in the pond with He Xiangu in the courtyard.

He Xiangu became excited, holding a lotus flower and blessing it with a magic spell.

The last calamity of Zhuxianwang made her see how powerful Tieguai Li Fabao is.

Now he is very concerned about this newly refined lotus, and wants to refine it like the gourd of Tieguai Li, as his own powerful magic weapon.

Fourth brother!

Lingqing heard the sound and looked back, and saw that it was Lu Dongbin.

Glancing at He Xiangu who was concentrating on reciting mantras and blessings, Ling Qing quietly walked out of the courtyard and walked side by side with Lu Dongbin.

Why doesn't Third Brother stay with Peony today?

Alas! Lu Dongbin sighed softly when he heard the words, and said, I'm very confused now.

Ling Qing asked: What are you confused about?

Lu Dongbin said: Eight Immortals have their own shortcomings, Tieguai Li Zaimei, Han Zhongli is gambling, He Xiangu is delusional.

And I am in a love word.

The situation between me and Bai Mudan now makes me very worried.

I'm worried I won't survive this.

He paused, and then said: You and I are brothers, I will not hide it from you.

Donghua in my previous life was not without feelings for Peony Fairy, but he had been suppressed for nearly a thousand years because of the heavenly rules.

Only then will there be a millennium love calamity.

Originally, after a while, maybe the two of them will break away from this relationship, and then both of them will come to the world to experience the relationship between husband and wife for a lifetime, so as to understand the love.

However, they encountered a demon robbery and asked Donghua to reincarnate and lead the Eight Immortals to defeat the demons.

So in order not to be trapped by the calamity, he suppressed these feelings.

It's just that after reincarnation, I forgot my past, and touched the heart of Peony Fairy again.

After I understood the thoughts of my previous life through Sun Wukong's Sanming and Liutong, I started to be timid again, but in the end the Peony Fairy violated the rules of heaven and demoted to the mortal world.

Now it is like this again, she is willing to die to save me.

I... I really don't know how to face her true feelings!

Ling Qing patted him on the shoulder and asked: I understand your worry.

The thousands of years of love calamity and demon calamity are involved, and you are afraid that if you can't survive the love calamity, you won't be able to make the Eight Immortals gather together, so that the demon catastrophe will come, and people will be devastated.

But you feel that you will hurt Peony after passing through the calamity, and you can't bear it.

The most important thing is that you also have feelings for peony in your heart.

I once thought that being too sentimental would damage Qingxiu, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city if I went to the mountains.

Lu Dongbin felt touched when he heard the words, and said, That's right, the world can live in peace...

Ling Qing patted him on the shoulder, walked forward, and said, I don't know if there is a way to achieve both.

But how about I tell you about my situation with Xiangu for your reference?

Lu Dongbin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he chased him and said, That would be great, I came to you just to ask you for advice.

After all, I think the relationship between you and Xiangu is closer than our relationship with Xiangu, not as strong as that between me and Mudan.

Lingqing smiled and said: Everyone has different ideas about love, some people think that love is above all else, such as Bai Mudan.

Some people struggle between love and career, like you.

Of course, there are also those who value their own careers and think that love is just for decoration, such as me and Xiangu.

If Dao and love have to be chosen, I think we will both choose the way and give up love, and we will not regret it.

However, Dao and emotion are not opposites, and the two are not incompatible.

I have said before that the brotherhood between you and me, and the master-student relationship between you and Han Zhongli, are all love, and I didn't say that people should give up such emotions.

The main difference lies in whether a practitioner will abandon the Dao because of emotion.

If one cares about emotion and disregards Tao, then in terms of Tao, emotion is a demon.

If you care about emotion and Tao, then as far as Tao is concerned, emotion is also Tao.

The reason why you think that your feelings will lead to disaster is because you think that you will give up the way for love.

Well, now I give you a multiple choice question.

Lu Dongbin said, Say it.

Ling Qing asked: Now the Three Realms are facing a catastrophe, and you are the only savior.

But only if you kill Bai Mudan, will you survive this calamity, what will you do?

Lu Dongbin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help taking a step back and turning his head away.

Ling Qing took a step forward and said: Kill her, your love calamity will be over, and the Three Realms will be saved.

If you don't kill her, the Three Realms will perish.

How do you choose?

Lu Dongbin stepped back abruptly, held his head and said, I don't know, I don't know!

Ling Qing calmed his emotions, and asked softly: Then what if the person who is about to die is me? Will you choose to kill me?

Lu Dongbin still shook his head and said, I don't know, I really don't know!

Ling Qing patted him on the shoulder again and said, Have you seen yourself clearly now?

What troubles you is not love at all, but your opposition of love and Tao.

You take love too seriously.

If you think you can't get over it, the world will be destroyed.

And you also regard love as a robbery, and you should cut off love and cut off love and thoughts.

In fact, this is a big mistake.

In the mortal world, there are generals who are on expeditions abroad. The purpose of fighting on the battlefield is to defend their home and country, and at the same time to protect his wife and children.

You want to lead the immortals through the evil calamity, just like a general fighting on the battlefield.

Not only to protect all beings in the Three Realms, but also to protect me, my parents, and Bai Mudan.

Your desire to save the Three Realms is not in conflict with your love for us.

Lu Dongbin looked at Lingqing and asked, Then what should I do?

Ling Qing stretched out two fingers and said: Two choices!

First, since you think that love is doomed, then I will teach you the method of 'turning the calamity into a demon, refining the demon into the Tao'.

You have refined your emotional calamity into a heart demon, and after you slay the heart demon, you will naturally pass the calamity.

Lu Dongbin asked: Is this the way you turned your feelings for He Xiangu into a demon?

Yes. Ling Qing nodded and said: Although this method has the risk of becoming a demon, as long as you don't lose your heart, the demon of love will eventually be wiped out.

Lu Dongbin thought for a while and asked again: What about the second method?

Ling Qing said with her hands behind her back: The lifespan of ordinary people is only a hundred years.

I abolished Bai Mudan's cultivation base, and you also sealed your own cultivation base.

You are just such an ordinary husband and wife who have experienced life, old age, sickness and death together, love, hate and parting.

When Bai Mudan dies of old age, after you have experienced all kinds of sweetness and bitterness, you will be able to understand what love is after thinking about it.

It will not be bound by love.

He didn't wait for Lu Dongbin to be happy, and said again: It's just that you two are also in calamity now.

It may not be so easy to live an ordinary life.

Regardless of how the Tongtian Church is, Chunying alone will not let you go.

Although we can protect you, we can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Over time, there will eventually be omissions.

Lu Dongbin laughed at himself and said, Sure enough, there is no perfect solution in this world.

I found that you two big men talked about it, but you didn't start with Peony's idea.

The two turned their heads and saw He Xiangu walking towards holding the lotus, Xiangu.

Lu Dongbin asked again: What happened to Peony?

He Xiangu said: The reason why the Peony Fairy was able to ascend to immortality was not only because of the favor of the Queen Mother.

She is serious, and she has been promoted by virtue of her achievements, and she also has great love and righteousness in her heart.

She is just obsessed with love now, temporarily forgetting righteousness.

When it really comes time for her to make a choice, I believe she will have the heart to sacrifice for the common people.

Yes. Lu Dongbin murmured, She has a very kind heart.

Ling Qing smiled when she saw it, and said, Then third brother, do you want to gamble?

Lu Dongbin asked curiously, What are you betting on?

Ling Qing said: Bet on your Dao Xin, bet on Peony's kindness.

You turned love into a demon, then sealed your mind, and took the initiative to become a demon.

In this way, you can experience the taste of love unscrupulously.

When the time comes, we will come to cast down the demons, and let Mudan choose, she likes Lu Dongbin who gave up everything for her.

It is still the Lu Dongbin who sacrificed himself for others in order to save the world.

Before Lu Dongbin could speak, He Xiangu was startled and asked, Daoqing, what are you talking about? You know...

She originally wanted to say that Lu Dongbin's love is serious, what if he really fell into a demon?

However, he felt that this was not enough trust in him, so he changed his mind and said: It is difficult enough for us to deal with the Tongtian Sect, but with Dongbin who has become a demon, how can we deal with it?

Ling Qing smiled and said: Then let's see, whether the third brother's heart is heavy on Dao or evil.

It doesn't matter.

Your love for peony is love, and your love for us is also love. Maybe the two kinds of love are different in severity.

But in a word, it’s all love, there’s no difference.

You gave up Bai Mudan for us, you are a ruthless person, but killing us for Bai Mudan is also a ruthless person.

Feeling affectionate but selfish in heart is a devil!

It is the Tao to be affectionate and selfless in your heart!

There is also Peony, it depends on whether she is willing to become a demon for love, or keep the Tao for love.

Although He Xiangu felt that it was wrong, she had no better way.

She has also experienced it herself, the longer it takes to drag things on, the more complicated it becomes, and the harder it is to solve.

So I had to look to Lu Dongbin to see how he would choose.

Ling Qing also looked at him.

Lu Dongbin glanced at the two, tapped his forehead and said, Let me think about it.

After all, he left in a state of anxiety.

Ling Qing smiled and said: It seems that this matter is done!

He Xiangu looked at him and asked, Why do you have to let Dongbin be enchanted?

Ling Qing pulled her forward and said: As the saying goes, if you keep cutting, you will still be in chaos.

The relationship between him and Mudan has gone through thousands of years, and the entanglements of several generations have already become a mess.

Simply cut across the board and let the two of them have an unscrupulous love.

But the shackles of heaven's rules and precepts are too deep in the third brother's heart, if he is sober, it is impossible to let go.

That's why I want him to be enchanted.

Wouldn't Master Tongtian really use this to kill Lu Dongbin?

Ling Qing patted her hand and said, Don't worry, trust Third Brother, trust Laojun, and trust me.

Okay, then I won't worry about it. He Xiangu said with a smile.
