Chapter 239: The Significance of the Tao Scripture
Chapter 239: The Significance of the Tao Scripture
In Hanyu Mountain, a special guest has arrived.
When the skinny and old wandering monk dressed in coarse linen appeared at the mountain gate, Xiao Ai quickly notified the Wolf God who was in closed-door cultivation using a secret method.
So when the old wandering monk climbed up the steps and arrived at the front of the Wolf God Temple on Hanyu Mountain, Lu Heng dressed in white was already waiting there.
Upon seeing the old wandering monk, Lu Heng smiled slightly and clasped his hands together in greeting.
"Old friend, long time no see."
Jiu Mie looked at Lu Heng with slight surprise and said, "It has been five years since we last met. My old friend, you seem to have changed a lot..."
Lu Heng smiled slightly without explanation and led the old wandering monk to take a seat under the pavilion, saying:
"Simple tea and light wine, I hope my friend doesn't mind."
On the stone table, a wine pot and two wine cups, it is indeed very simple.
However, after Jiu Mie drank a cup of peach blossom wine, he was quite surprised.
"Could this be the legendary Peach Blossom Wine from Hanyu Mountain? It really is extraordinary."
Lu Heng laughed and said, "Why are you trying to flatter me like this, my friend? Don't you know that the Peach Blossom Wine is quite famous?"
Jiu Mie smiled and said, "My friend has been cultivating in the mountains, without involvement in the human world or the martial arts world, so it's natural that you don't know about the prestige and dominance of the name of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain five years ago."
"The rumors about the Wolf God are shrouded in mystery. Especially this Peach Blossom Wine of yours, my friend, has become a legendary item in the mortal world."
"But now that I'm carefully savoring it, it really lives up to its legendary reputation."
Lu Heng poured another glass of wine for the old monk in response to his exclamation.
Then he laughed and said, "My friend, is your visit to Hanyu Mountain to specifically praise me, Lu Heng?"
Lu Heng realized that there was something on the mind of old monk Jiu Mie, so he asked directly without any polite small talk.
Faced with Lu Heng's questioning smile, the old monk couldn't help but sigh and say.
"My friend's words have hit the nail on the head. If I don't have any important business to attend to, a worthless person like me, an old ascetic cultivator, would never dare to set foot in my friend's fairyland... Ha..."
With a wry smile, Jiu Mie joked, "This is rather embarrassing, but recently while I was drinking water in the mountains, I happened to come across a strange demon."
"That demon was full of evil and malevolent energy, and it was rare to see such a monster in the world. Moreover, its methods were strange, and even I, an old ascetic cultivator, was toyed with and defeated," he said.
"I have actually come to ask for help from my friend," he said.
"I wonder if my friend knows about the divine figure who achieved enlightenment five years ago?" Jiu Mie said. "That demon came specifically for that divine figure who achieved enlightenment five years ago, and it's really ominous for its arrival," he added.
As he spoke, Jiu Mie recounted in detail his encounter with the mysterious demon while resting in the mountains.
Even the demon, who had kept secret its actions from five hundred years ago, blurted it out.
Jiu Mie said, "Now that I think about it, perhaps that demon has some kind of chaotic and evil magic, which can confuse people's minds with words."
"Its cry almost shattered my hundreds of years of spiritual cultivation," said the old ascetic cultivator. "In fact, if I had encountered it a hundred years ago and heard its words to deceive the mind, I would have been defeated by it," he added.
Jiu Mie's account made Lu Heng's expression solemn as well.
"Has such a demon come to the Fire Pass Country...?"
He shook his head and said, "This is really a headache."
In the face of Jiu Mie, Lu Heng was also honest and said straightforwardly, "I won't hide it from a good friend. The sleepless nights five years ago were indeed caused by me."
"I received guidance from an ancient predecessor's spiritual insight in the South Sea, and in a brief period of time, entered a wonderful realm beyond everything. It was through this experience that I attained enlightenment and created a cultivation method."
As he spoke, Lu Heng pointed to the stone tablet in front of the Wolf God Temple and said, "Take a look, my friend. This is the Tao Scripture that I have created."
Under the bamboo pavilion, the old wandering monk looked towards the stone tablet far away.
Then his whole body trembled slightly.
"This..."
He looked at Lu Heng in shock, then glanced at the stone tablet and quickly skimmed through the contents.
Under the bamboo pavilion, a long silence ensued.
The old wandering monk was deeply shaken and remained speechless for a long time.
Lu Heng sat quietly inside the bamboo pavilion, watching the old ascetic cultivator comprehend the Dao, smiling but saying nothing.
Not far away, Xiao Ai with silver hair and pointed ears stood by, waiting for orders.
The girl, who has now reached the age of 16, still looks like the young girl from before and her body has not grown.
Regarding this, Lu Heng was also somewhat troubled. However, this is a side effect of coming back to life from death, which he could not change and could only hope that in the future, Xiao Ai will complete her training and be able to reshape her body.
Meanwhile, in the Hanyu mountain, it is serene and remote.
Inside the bamboo pavilion, the old ascetic cultivator comprehended the Dao while the Wolf God smiled.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west and night fell that the old ascetic cultivator gradually woke up from the shock.
The first thing the old ascetic cultivator did upon waking up was to stand up and bow deeply to Lu Heng.
"My friend has given me many insights, which have greatly benefited me. Please allow Jiu Mie to express my gratitude with a bow."
After finishing the bow, the old wandering monk returned to his stone chair and exclaimed, "My friend's Tao Scripture is truly a masterpiece of heaven and earth, worthy of being called the number one cultivation method in the world ... no wonder it can trigger the obsession of day and night."
The old wandering monk's exclamation was targeted and sincere, not just empty praise.
When he saw the Tao Scripture, his whole being was stunned.
For the old wandering monk, to have come this far on the path of cultivation is already a difficult and painful journey.
His path of cultivation went against his teachers' teachings from the beginning, leading to many troubles.
Later, he entered the mortal realm alone, holding onto his own beliefs and cultivating alone, constantly deducing and moving forward with difficulty. In order to gain enlightenment, he also had discussions on the Tao with some reclusive and powerful cultivators.
But the way of ordinary people could not provide him with any inspiration.
Only in the Dragon Falling Mountain, did Lu Heng and his extraordinary Heavenly Thunder path give him some inspiration.
But even so, his path forward remains blurry and difficult.
Many times, he even doubted that he could no longer move forward even half a step and would die in his current realm.
After reading this Tao Scripture today, he was shocked to discover that his path ahead was so clear. Many problems that had troubled and vexed him in the past were now easily solved.
Although this Tao Scripture is not suitable for him, he cannot give up the path he is currently cultivating to cultivate the Tao Scripture.
However, this Tao Scripture, which can accommodate all things like a vast river, has allowed him to stand on a higher mountain and overlook all the mountains, large and small.
Even without cultivating the Tao Scripture, he can continue to move forward.
Therefore, the shock and admiration for Jiu Mie comes from the heart.
This intense emotion is even stronger than when he saw Lu Heng summon the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder five years ago.
He immediately understood the importance of Lu Heng's Tao Scripture.
The path of cultivation is arduous and difficult. Even if you have the highest-level martial arts, it is difficult to find suitable disciples to use and pass the cultivation method on.
Now that Hanyu Mountain has such a top-notch cultivation method that can defy the natural order, every disciple in the mountain can pursue their own path. The cultivation methods that each disciple cultivates are not only top-notch but also best suited for themselves.
By cultivating the Tao Scripture in this way, one can achieve more results with less effort. Even with low aptitude, if one follows the Tao Scripture step by step, their achievements in the future will far surpass those of ordinary people.
Not to mention that all the disciples cultivating the Tao Scripture in Hanyu Mountain have extraordinary talents, and with this tailor-made top-notch cultivation method... Hundreds of years later, the entire landscape of Hanyu Mountain will be completely transformed!
By that time, any disciple from Hanyu Mountain can easily suppress the world!
