Chapter 18 The Trilemma of Cultivation

"It's right that it was a god, but unfortunately he later became a demon and turned into a demon." Shen Gongbao turned around and looked at the statue, sighing softly.

Lu Chuan was shocked and hurriedly said, "I dare to ask Master, why is this? The gods have turned into demons..."

Shen Gongbao said: "Look at this temple... how is it? Have you discovered anything?"

"This temple..." Lu Chuan looked around the ruined temple and said, "It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, the roof is broken, and the walls have cracked so many cracks..."

Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "That's right, this temple has not been incense for many years."

"But what does this incense have to do with her becoming a demon?" Lu Chuan was a little confused.

Shen Gongbao said: "I think you, a kid, should have seen it just now. She is just a ghost and has no entity, right?"

"Ghost?" Lu Chuan was stunned and murmured: "Didn't I meet a fairy, but I run into a ghost?"

He didn't know much about ghosts, but he did see the banshee turning into a dragon before, which looked a bit illusory and unreal, just a phantom of the dragon shape.

"So that... it's almost the same. She has no physical body and is a top-notch ghost immortal."

Shen Gongbao said: "Often she can only rely on some incense to maintain her Dharma body and her ghost will last forever. But we just said that there has been no incense in this temple for many years."

"What happens if there is no incense?" Lu Chuan asked.

Shen Gongbao sighed and said, "The soul is gone and returns to heaven and earth."

"Ah?" Lu Chuan was stunned and said, "Is the god without incense so miserable?"

He remembered that all the gods on the list of the Gods seemed to have no physical body, and they were all on the list of the Gods on the real spirit.

Could it be that they...

"It's a bit miserable, but you're right. Only Gods without flesh will be so miserable, and those with flesh will not."

Shen Gongbao said sadly: "In order not to disappear in this world, she chose to fall into the evil heretics, use human blood and energy to nourish her demonic energy, and use demonic energy to protect her ghost from immortality."

"So that's how it is." Lu Chuan's eyes flashed, which was chilling.

Shen Gongbao sighed: "This method is too vicious and cruel. It is a demonic act. When she eats the first person, she becomes a demon."

"oh!"

After hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded, so he knew it.

Shen Gongbao said: "Lu Chuan, Senior Brother asked you to follow me to practice. Now I ask you, what are you practicing for?"

Lu Chuan was stunned: "What?"

"Or why do you want to practice? You have to practice." Shen Gongbao asked again.

"for what?"

Lu Chuan lowered his head and thought seriously.

Yes, why did he want to practice? What was the purpose of his initial practice?

Seeing Lu Chuan thinking, Shen Gongbao did not choose to disturb him.

Just sat cross-legged on the edge of the fire, staring at the burning and beating flames above the fire.

After a long time.

"Master, I want to live forever."

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Chuan let out a long sigh, turned his head and looked at Shen Gongbao seriously and said.

In fact, at the beginning, he just wanted to learn some Taoist skills to deal with the next great catastrophe of the Gods and prevent himself from becoming a cannon fodder.

But since the teacher is in front of you, then I will just seek immortality. What's wrong with being free in the world?

"Eternal Life?" Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, not surprised.

Lu Chuan nodded seriously: "Yes, my disciple wants to become an immortal."

"Achieve enlightenment and become an immortal? Hahaha..." Shen Gongbao burst into laughter.

Lu Chuan said calmly: "Dare you ask why your master is laughing?"

Shen Gongbao stopped laughing and said, "Then let me ask you, what do you think is an immortal?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan said, "Eternal life, surging in the clouds and fog, free in the world..."

Speaking of this, Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment.

"Say whatever you think and don't have any worries."

Shen Gongbao said: "You are testing you and judging what you should teach you. If you miss the opportunity because of this, don't blame me for not preaching you."

Lu Chuan then continued: "Flying in the sky, hiding the earth, moving mountains and filling the sea, you can do everything."

"Then do you think the gods are good?"

Lu Chuan was stunned and then said, "Of course it's okay. If it's not good, how could everyone in the world want to become a god?"

Shen Gongbao said: "Since everyone in the world knows that gods are good, why are there very few people who become immortals?"

"this……"

"Do you know if you want to practice Taoism?"

Lu Chuan said: "Disciple doesn't know, please teach me."

"If you want to become an immortal, you must be born with the roots and bones of immortals in one difficulty. You must be able to bring fate to the immortals in the second difficulty. You must also be able to meet a famous teacher in the third difficulty."

Shen Gongbao said: "If you want to become an immortal, you must first face these three difficulties. If you want to become an immortal, either of these three is indispensable."

"Immortal root, fate, famous master?" Lu Chuan lowered his head and thought secretly.

Shen Gongbao said loudly: "Roots and bones are the first level. Those without immortal roots are difficult to even start the path of cultivation, so they can only be eliminated for everyone."

"How about those who have roots and bones but no immortal connection?" Lu Chuan asked.

Shen Gongbao said: "The fate is the same as the creation. Those who have immortal roots but no fortune will practice immortality in one's life, and in the end they will be a vain in the mirror and water moon."

After hearing this, Lu Chuan lowered his head and said nothing.

If so, this should be the case with Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya was able to practice Taoism and showed that he had roots and bones, but Yuanshi also said that his fate was too shallow, so it was difficult to become an immortal path, so he was sent down the mountain.

As for the famous teacher...

Lu Chuan thought of a spiritual monkey that will be born in the future.

Originally, the birth of heaven and earth, and the roots and bones of a body are naturally born with great luck, but despite this, he spent more than ten years to find a famous teacher?

Lu Chuan suddenly said, "Dare you ask the master, what is the root and bone of the disciple, what is the fate?"

"As long as you say that fortune and fate are determined by heaven, how can you know it by your teacher?"

Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "As for root bones... do you think if you don't have root bones, will your senior brother ask you to take me as your teacher?"

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

Although he thought about this section, he was somewhat uncertain, but Shen Gongbao's words gave him a reassurance.

"Master, so... can I practice too?" Lu Chuan asked again.

He felt that at this time, he was even more exciting and uncertain than the admission letter from the university.

Shen Gongbao nodded with a smile.

"Then Master, when can I practice?" Lu Chuan asked again.

Shen Gongbao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, don't forget to be anxious and can't eat hot tofu. You don't even know what the immortal is, let alone how can you cultivate immortals?"

"Then Master, what is an immortal?" Lu Chuan asked.

"A man becomes a ghost when he dies, becomes an immortal when he attains Taoism, and he is in the middle."

Shen Gongbao said: "Pure yin is a ghost, pure yang is an immortal, and yin and yang are a human being. Only when someone lives in the middle can he become a ghost and an immortal."

"Immortal, human, ghost?"
