Chapter 59: Clear away the clouds and see the true self
In the hall, watching the clouds and mist on the bronze mirror dissipate, Li He looked happy, "Great! Brother Mo can clear the clouds and mist!!"
In front of the bronze mirror, as the clouds and fog were pushed away, the true appearance of the bronze mirror was revealed. The mirror was densely covered with light spots, as if the starry sky was contained in the mirror. The light spots moved rapidly and condensed into a human figure in the blink of an eye.
Bai Mo looked subconsciously and saw that the figure in the mirror looked exactly like him. After the two of them looked at each other, the light spots in the mirror dispersed with a bang.
His mind felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer. He grunted and stepped back, but he came to his senses. When he looked again, the bronze mirror had been obscured by clouds and mist again.
"Okay!" The old Taoist looked at Bai Mo with joy on his face, paused on his smooth and sweat-free forehead, and said with a smile, "The best Taoist species has excellent roots and strong muscles and bones, and can easily push away clouds and mist to enter the Tao. Stand to the left."
"Yes!" Bai Mo responded, striding to the left.
"Brother Bai, here!" Fang Yeyun waved towards Bai Mo and shouted in a low voice.
Bai Mo looked at the women around him, smiled dumbly, walked forward, then turned to look at His Highness Li He, and nodded to him.
The two of them were almost the last to enter the hall, and Li He naturally followed closely behind.
Not long after, Li He stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked into the mirror.
Bai Mo cheered up and stared at the bronze mirror.
After a few breaths, the clouds on the mirror surface slowly fluctuated, no more, no less, exactly five minutes.
Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief. According to everyone's previous performance, if he could stir up five points of clouds, he should be standing on the left side.
"The bones are inferior and the clouds are stirred up. Stand." The old Taoist looked at Li He a few times and pointed to the left. Before he could finish speaking, he frowned and suddenly stretched out a finger to point at the center of Li He's eyebrows.
Bai Mo's heart tightened, could something else go wrong? After a few breaths, the old Taoist shook his head slightly, changed the direction of his fingers, and said in a low voice, "There is a leak in the body, just like a broken sieve, life and death are intertwined. It's a pity, stand on the right side."
"Life and death are intertwined, like breaking a sieve?" When Li He heard this, his face turned pale instantly and his body staggered.
The old man's voice was low and could not be heard clearly by outsiders.
Bai Mo saw the old man sending Li He to the right, and his heart suddenly suddenly thought. Brother He had clearly stirred up five points of the clouds. How could he stand on the right? Could it be because of Brother He's special physique?Even these Taoist priests who have mastered magical means can't do anything? He looked at Li He in the crowd opposite, and Li He also happened to be looking at him, shaking his head slowly at him, as if he didn't care, and as if nothing happened.
Bai Mo frowned slightly.
In the blink of an eye, the last person has finished the test. The old Taoist made a casual move, and the bronze mirror flew up, turned in the air, and turned into the size of a sesame seed, which was swallowed by its mouth.
Then the old Taoist's sleeves swung, and his body suddenly floated up, spanning most of the palace, and sat on the high platform.
when! !
The sound of gold and jade clashing resounded through the palace, making everyone feel calm and look towards the high platform.
The elegant Taoist glanced at the people below, his voice was like jade, and he spoke slowly, "On the way to the immortal path, qualifications are not important, but they are indispensable. Being able to stir up three points of clouds means that the soul is born to be [-]% stronger than ordinary people, and can barely step into the immortal path. . Below [-]%, the chances are slim."
"I dare to ask the Immortal Chief, since it is three points of clouds, why are there people with two points of clouds on the opposite side? It is unfair." On the right, a young man in brocade clothes couldn't help but elegant Taoist frowned and suddenly turned his head, looking at the young man in brocade clothes with lightning-like eyes.
The young man in brocade clothes groaned, his face instantly turned pale, and drops of blood overflowed from his seven orifices.
The elegant Taoist snorted coldly, like an angry thunder that resounded through the palace, causing the beams to tremble slightly and shaking some dust.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel their breaths stagnant, and a mountain-topping panic surged into their hearts.
"Brother Taoist, don't be upset." The Taoist priest dressed as a plump woman suddenly giggled, like the sweet ringing of a bell, and the pressure in the hall quietly dissipated.
The plump woman looked at the people on the right, smiled and said, "The path to immortality is about cultivating both life and life, and attaching equal importance to spirit, energy and spirit.
Those with good bones and bones have some attainments in physical training. If their bodies are strong to a certain extent, they will naturally have the effect of nourishing their souls and can barely make up for it. However, those like you and others who have insufficient souls and bones will not even be able to enter the immortal way. I'm afraid I can't even see it. "
Although the people on the right were still angry, the previous scene was still vivid in their minds, but they did not dare to interrupt rashly.
"Mrs. Feng is right." The old man in white took over the words and said, "However, you are not without a chance."
The eyes of everyone on the right side lit up and they looked up.
The old Taoist saw no waves in the ancient well and said with a smile, "First of all, Jingguo's martial arts is somewhat interesting. If you become a so-called master, your soul strength will reach the threshold of the immortal way, and you will naturally be able to practice the immortal way. It may be called entering the Tao through martial arts."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. There had been no grandmaster in Jingguo for more than a hundred years. If there had not been a clear record, the world would have thought it was just a rumor. How could it be achieved by ordinary people?
The old Taoist looked playfully and said, "The second is to delve into knowledge, understand the truth, and be able to nourish the mind with literature. If one can become a so-called great Confucian, his soul strength will definitely enable him to enter Taoism."
"Great Confucian!" Someone said with ecstasy, "My father is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world. Does that mean he can also become an immortal?"
People nearby looked over and recognized his identity. As he said, his father had a good reputation among literati and was known as a great Confucian.
Before the old Taoist could say anything, the Taoist in black with a sinister expression suddenly sneered, "You are just a scholar who has learned from others. He has never established his own theory and established his own family. How dare he be called a great Confucian?"
"Self-contained, isn't that the realm of sages? In the eyes of Taoists, only sages can be called great Confucians? Such a high requirement." Bai Mo's heart moved, thinking of several sages who formed their own family in the records of Jingguo.
According to historical records, a total of seven sages appeared in this land. They were honored as the Seven Sons of Wenzong by the literati of Jingguo, and temples were built to worship them. The doctrines they left behind were the classics that must be tested in the imperial examination.
"The scholars who can form their own family have astonishing knowledge, and their will will implement the meaning of the scriptures, and their soul will naturally be nourished and become stronger." Bai Mo thought thoughtfully, this is not a bad idea.
"That's wrong!" He blinked and discovered the loophole. "Perhaps the souls of the disciples are naturally strong enough, but they have never been exposed to the immortal way. Only by deeply cultivating knowledge can they achieve some achievements."
Bai Mo looked at the people on the right and remained silent, "I'm afraid the only path left for them is to be a martial arts master."
The old Taoist in white didn't care about the reactions of the people on the right, but Feng Qingyun said calmly, "The people on the left can enter the immortal path, and the people on the right don't have to lose.
Since he can be attracted by the soul-awakening incense and soul-inducing banner, he can be regarded as a talented person. As long as he keeps his mind down, he can achieve great achievements in both martial arts and literary studies. "
