#756 - Taoist sunset
This substitute puppet said to Li Chengfeng, "Venerable One, I will now go to the mortal world to temper my heart."
This is equivalent to a doppelganger and substitute puppet that is connected to Li Chengfeng's mind.
Unlike the Black Tortoise doppelganger, this doppelganger completely adheres to all of Li Chengfeng's instructions, its main purpose being to comprehend the Dao.
As for Li Chengfeng's main body, he directly used a secret technique to completely seal his cultivation with the dust of time.
Li Chengfeng now transformed into a child of a few years old, his face still carrying a naive look. With a thought, he left the Life Realm space and arrived at the largest city near the Water Moon Sect.
This large city covers hundreds of miles and is the largest city near the entire Water Moon Sect. It is bustling with mortals and cultivators alike, filled with love and presenting a prosperous scene.
Li Chengfeng came to this city as a mortal, like a young man just starting out, curious about everything.
Entering this city, cultivators need to pay spirit stones, while mortals only need to pay copper coins. After Li Chengfeng paid the copper coins, he began his journey of exploration.
He looked at the city from the perspective of an outsider, from the bottom up, and indeed found it extraordinary.
Just then, a carriage suddenly came speeding towards him, extremely fast, with five guards clearing the way in front.
Although these guards were not cultivators, their martial arts cultivation was quite profound.
This carriage was also extremely luxurious, made of high-quality Zelkova wood.
The coachman's whip was already raised high, about to strike Li Chengfeng.
The coachman was extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, and shouted at the same time, "Get out of the way! Are you looking to die, delaying my master's trip?"
The secular world is like this, some people are always arrogant and domineering, bullying others based on their power.
If Li Chengfeng was still the same as before, he could directly undo the seal on his cultivation and destroy these guards and the coachman with a flick of his finger.
However, now he is tempering his heart in the mortal world and must take on the role, and he cannot use his strength.
Even if he was beaten by the whip until his skin was torn and his flesh was ripped open, he had to endure it, bear it, feel the pain, and feel the sorrow.
Just as the whip was about to strike Li Chengfeng, suddenly, a delicate shout came, "Stop!"
With a 'pa' sound, the whip itself bounced away, and a beautiful and lively woman landed in front of Li Chengfeng.
At first glance, she was a disciple of the Water Moon Sect. Although she only had the strength of the third level of Qi Refining, she had already learned to fly on a sword.
At this time, under her feet was a standard flying sword of the Water Moon Sect, looking majestic.
The coachman was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he knelt down from the carriage with a 'plop', and quickly said, "Immortal, spare me! I was just anxious for a moment, my master has urgent business to attend to..."
The woman snorted coldly and said, "Seeing that you have not injured this little brother, I will not bother with you. Get lost!"
The master hid in the carriage, trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.
This is the difference between mortals and immortals. No matter how powerful a mortal is, they will lose their temper when they encounter an immortal.
After the carriage left.
Li Chengfeng immediately bowed respectfully to the woman and said, "Thank you for your rescue, Immortal. My name is Li Bai, I am a scholar, and I came to this city to seek a job, and I also want to cultivate and become an immortal."
The woman chuckled and said, "Looking at your appearance, you are quite handsome and talented.
It's just that your spiritual root is really too poor."
As she spoke, she ignored the difference between men and women, grabbed Li Chengfeng's hand, carefully examined it, and then shook her head helplessly, "You are not suitable for cultivating immortality."
At this time, all the spiritual roots in Li Chengfeng's body were hidden, just like an ordinary person without spiritual roots.
He didn't want to be taken into the mountain gate just like that, because he had a substitute puppet to take that path.
He wanted to take another path, the life of a mortal, to comprehend the life and death of mortals.
Everything is not within the calculation. Over the years, Li Chengfeng has experienced too many conspiracies, killings, looting, and wars.
This time, he wants to go with the flow and follow the way of heaven. This is the essence of tempering the heart in the mortal world, so that he can feel all the rhymes of the human world.
Li Chengfeng said seriously, "Don't worry, Immortal Sister, I know my spiritual root is very poor, but I have always worked very hard. I want to try whether hard work can overcome talent."
The woman smiled and said, "How is that possible? The way of heaven has reincarnation, and the destiny has been determined.
You have no spiritual root, so how can you rise? But, thirty miles outside the city, there is a small Taoist temple. The small Taoist temple is already dilapidated, and there is a Taoist priest inside who can no longer accept disciples.
If you want to try, you can try your luck. Because that Taoist temple only accepts one disciple, and he is a cripple.
They don't look at aptitude, spiritual roots, or talent when cultivating the Dao, only sincerity. Moreover, he will only let you read Taoist books and will not teach you any profound spells."
Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up and said, "That's really suitable for me! Thank you, Immortal Sister! If one day I can enter the ranks of cultivation, I will never forget the kindness of Immortal Sister. May I ask your name?"
The woman chuckled and said, "Just call me Zhao Qianxue. Alright, I have something to do, I'll go first." As she spoke, she flew away on her sword and disappeared without a trace.
Li Chengfeng's heart was filled with emotion. He did not think too much, but hurried towards the direction the woman had pointed out.
He is in the stage of tempering his heart in the mortal world, which emphasizes going with the flow and not calculating.
Meeting this woman is fate; coming to this Taoist temple is also fate. All of this is the reincarnation of cause and effect. There are many ways in tempering the heart in the mortal world, and at this moment, the Dao rhyme he comprehends is even more profound than before.
After walking for most of the day, Li Chengfeng finally arrived at the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple is located on the edge of the city, not the most prosperous place, but close to a towering mountain.
This mountain is within the city, but the spiritual energy is thin, because this is a cemetery, a place of rest for mortals, not a destination for cultivators.
Such a Taoist temple, leaning against the cemetery, has a dismal incense offering, which made Li Chengfeng a little confused.
However, when he stepped into the temple gate, he immediately understood the reason.
The temple was so dilapidated that it was unbelievable, as if it could collapse at any time.
However, the main hall was still okay. When he entered it, he saw a crippled disciple diligently cleaning the yard.
When the disciple saw him, he excitedly shouted, "Master! Master! A pilgrim has come! A pilgrim has come!"
Sure enough, a Taoist priest named Xizhao, with a three-yang beard and a smiling face, walked out of the main hall. After looking Li Chengfeng up and down, he shook his head and said, "You have no fate with me. Without spiritual roots, you are destined to be unable to cultivate the Dao in this life. Please leave."
Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest, but I want to cultivate the Dao. Besides becoming a disciple under your tutelage, can you give me some guidance?"
Taoist priest Xizhao nodded and said, "Well, I can tell at a glance that you are a scholar.
There is a school ahead that has been completely abandoned. You can go there to open a school, and I will give you a cultivation technique. You can practice and teach at the same time.
This is just a Confucian cultivation technique. When you cultivate the aura of righteousness, you can cultivate the Dao. If you can't cultivate it, you can only return to dust and earth."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Thank you, Taoist priest."
