Chapter 18 (2/2)
Lu Chuan nodded seriously: ”yes, the disciple wants to become an immortal.”
”Become an immortal? Ha ha...... ”Shen Gongbao laughed.
Lu Chuan was calm and asked, ”dare you ask why Shifu is laughing?”
Shen Gongbao stopped laughing and said, ”let me ask you, what do you think is an immortal?”
After a little meditation, Lu Chuan said: ”live forever, ride the clouds and mist, and be carefree in the world...”
Speaking of this, Lu Chuan hesitated.
”Say what you think. Don't worry or hide.”
Shen Gongbao said, ”I'm testing you and judging what to teach you. If you miss the opportunity, don't blame me for not preaching you.”
Lu Chuan then continued: ”flying, hiding, moving mountains and filling the sea, can do anything...”
He recited the conceivable idioms describing immortals for most of the day like reciting the text.
Shen Gongbao: ”
”Do you think immortals are good?” Finally, when Lu Chuan finished, Shen Gongbao asked quickly.
This smelly boy, if you don't stop him, what if you carry him until dawn?
”How are the gods?”
Lu Chuan was stunned at the speech and immediately thought, ”of course, if it's not good, how can everyone in the world want to be an immortal?”
Shen Gongbao asked, ”since people in the world know that immortals are good, why are there so few people who become immortals?”
”This......” Lu Chuan couldn't say it.
Shen Gongbao said, ”do you know the three difficulties of cultivating Taoism?”
Lu Chuan respectfully said, ”I don't know. Please teach me.”
”If you want to become a immortal, you have to be born with immortal roots and bones. If you hit the target in the second difficulty, you have to bring the fate of the immortal, and if you hit the target in the third difficulty, you have to meet a famous teacher.”
Shen Gongbao said, ”if you want to become a immortal, you must first face these three difficulties. If you want to become an immortal, one of these three is indispensable. ”
”Immortal root, fate, famous teacher?” Lu Chuan lowered his head and secretly figured out the meaning of the three.
If Shen Gongbao didn't see it, Lang said, ”the root bone is the first level. Those without immortal roots can't even step on the road of cultivation, but can only die for everyone.”
”What about those who have a bone and have no fairy fate?” Lu Chuan asked.
Shen Gongbao said, ”fate is fate. Those who have immortal roots but have no nature, practice hard, and in the end, they will be nothing. ”
After listening, Lu Chuan bowed his head and said nothing.
If so, Jiang Ziya should be in this situation.
Jiang Ziya was able to practice Taoism, which showed that he had a bone, but the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty said that his fate was too shallow to become a fairy, so he was sent down the Kunlun Mountain and canonized on his behalf in the future.
As for famous teachers
Lu Chuan thought of a monkey born in the future.
It was born in heaven and earth. It goes without saying that he was born with great opportunities.
But even so, didn't he spend more than ten years looking for a famous teacher?
Lu Chuan suddenly said, ”master, how are the disciples' roots, bones and nature?”
”The fate of fortune is said to be determined by heaven. How can a teacher know this?”
Shen Gongbao smiled and said, ”as for the root bone... Do you think if you don't have a root bone, elder martial brother will let you worship me as a teacher?”
Lu Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he also thought of this festival, but he was somewhat unsure of himself, but Shen Gongbao's words gave him a reassurance.
”Master, so... I can practice, too?” Lu Chuan asked again.
He felt that the mood at this time was more exciting and unbelievable than the admission notice from the University.
Shen Gongbao smiled and nodded.
”Master, when can I practice?” Lu Chuan asked again.
Shen Gongbao shook his head and said with a smile, ”don't worry, don't worry, now you don't even know what an immortal is, let's talk about how to fix an immortal?”
”Master, what is an immortal?” Lu Chuan asked.
”People can become ghosts when they die, immortals when they get the Tao, and people are right in the middle.”
Shen Gongbao said, ”pure Yin is a ghost, pure Yang is an immortal, and the combination of yin and Yang is a man. But a man in the middle can become both a ghost and an immortal. ”（ Note 1)
”Fairy, man, ghost?”
Lu Chuan bowed his head and mused.
