Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 110: Depriving the Poor and Offering to the Rich

At dawn, Qin Yi holding a paper umbrella came to the foot of the Fairy Mountain and looked up at the mountain road covered in mist and rain.

There was a white stone monument at the entrance, which read Temple Qing Xu. The green stone steps meandered all the way up. The green trees in the mountains were branching, the birds were singing, the flowers were fragrant, and the clouds were misty. In the light rain in the early morning, it was really like an immortal land.

He came to pay homage to the taoist temple.

Han Men thought that he left, but that was not the case. It was just that Qin Yi had become more cautious now.

He would not want this town to turn into a dead land and let all the innocent children lose their homes. If it was the previous Qin Yi, for example the one who escorted Cheng Cheng, he might really become hot-headed and deal with the zombie with Han Men.

But after the trip to Beastkin City and the changes in South Li Kingdom, Qin Yi, who had experienced the mortal world, would not be easily hot-headed.

Maybe I still have passion and chivalry in my heart, and I still want to do it on behalf of Li Qingjun, but my state of mind has returned to the state of looking at South Li Kingdom with a cold eye when I first came out of the mountain. I will never get involved easily again.

Looking at the world with a detached mentality, from a certain perspective, this means that Im mentally older, right?

Han Men might not be telling the truth. Someone is refining himself into zombie. This is consistent with Liu Sus judgment, so it should be true; but the part that he didnt know the opponents strength is a lie.

So I cant just believe in his one-sided words. I must first go to the taoist temple to see it with my own eyes.

The bell of the morning prayers came from the mountain. Qin Yi climbed up the stairs. After a while, he reached the mountainside and saw an abnormally smooth mountain wall. On the wall, someone carved a huge and swift curling style of Tao.

Qin Yi looked at this word quietly, feeling his aura being stirred as if the trajectory of this word had some mysterious meaning. He couldnt understand what it was, but it seemed like the eternal truth.

The trajectory of the pen movement was similar to when he was making the talisman.

Its a relic left by a good cultivator. Liu Su said, This word has a good taste. A person with a spiritual root may have gained some enlightenment here. It is indeed an immortal mountain. No wonder it can breed beastkin. That beastkin doesnt have the vicious presence. It turns out that he is enlightened by the immortal way.

Qin Yi said, Can it improve my current level?

You have me, why are you looking at this word? The random words I taught you are even more meaningful than this. You just teach you how to draw a few random words, but the problem is you cant comprehend them.

Okay. Qin Yi said, So, this Taoist Qing Xu is really an immortal, right?

Impossible. Even if he is really two hundred and fifty years, its impossible Liu Su said, This word is probably thousands of years old. Even the wind and rain cannot erase its spirituality. The person who wrote it must be at least Cloud Riding Stage or above. He was a true cultivator.

If so, Taoist Qing Xu has gotten his inheritance and founded a sect here.

This is more likely. Liu Su said, Go up and take a look. What the mouse said may not be true. Maybe Taoist Qing Xu is really a true taoist? Its hard to tell who is refining zombie now.

Qin Yi continued to walk to the top of the mountain.

There was a main hall on the top of the mountain. It was full of incense. Dozens of taoists sitting cross-legged on futons.

There were many townspeople around, who had arrived earlier than Qin Yi. They also kowtowed and worshiped devoutly. Qin Yi was quite amazed. He had reached the foot of the mountain at dawn. Did these people climb up in the middle of the night?

The main person in the hall was an old taoist. He had a white hair and a young face. Strands of sandalwood incense were lingering around him, making him look like a god. He was praying in a low voice, Misfortunes and blessings are not destined; one calls it upon themselves. The retribution for good and evil follows like a shadow. Therefore, there are gods who take charge of the good and evil deeds of people. They will deprive ones life according to the seriousness of their offenses. If life is reduced, it will lead to poverty and broken family and cause one to encounter more troubles and distressed events. Everyone detests evil. Evildoers will be punished is evil. Their blessings will turn into misfortunes. Evil gods will bestow disasters upon evildoers. When ones misfortunes have reached the limit and has no more blessings, it will be the end of ones fate.

Qin Yi saw many people in rags and emaciated, but during the chant, they took out the hot copper plates in their pockets and put it into the incense box respectfully.

The taoists in the temple chanted their prayers even louder.

Qin Yi shook his head and said to Liu Su in his mind, This is depriving the poor and offering to the rich. In my understanding, this is not the way.

This is the way of mortal, not the way of heaven. Its hard to say whats right or wrong. Liu Su said, Not only that. This taoist read the Treatise on the Response of the Tao, but he is draining the life of others.

What do you mean?

This so-called cultivation is to absorb the flesh and blood of others and use it to maintain ones youthful appearance and make a show of it. Liu Su said, This old taoist is indeed a dead person who is trying to live a long life.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the old taoist with a sharp gaze.

The old taoist seemed to realize something and opened his eyes to look at Qin Yi, but Qin Yi had already lowered his eyes.

That mister the old Taoist said slowly, If you want to seek the way of immortality, you need to be sincere. We are giving the morning prayers, but mister is standing outside the hall. This is an insincere act.

Qin Yi then smiled and said, To see others faults as ones own; not to expose others shortcomings, not to flaunt ones own strengths.

The old taoist also smiled, Those words are applicable for this situation. Where do fellow Taoists come from?

I heard that there is an immortal in Temple Qing Xu, so I came here to visit. Qin Yi bowed and said, Now that I have seen the immortal, my wish is fulfilled. I can go home now.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The old taoist narrowed his eyes and watched Qin Yis back.

Under the oil-paper umbrella, the green shirt walks in a carefree manner. Compared with sitting in the temple and struggling to survive, Qin Yi was more like an immortal.

The old taoist looked a little distracted, and then he said slowly, Continue the morning prayers. Dont slack off.

As soon as he finished speaking, he had disappeared from the hall.

There was a chorus of admiration in the hall, Taoist Qing Xu is truly an immortal

Qin Yi was fast. He was already halfway down the mountain, near the platform with the word tao.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and an old taoist appeared in front.

Qin Yi stopped and sighed, This earth shrinking spell of gen earth is really amazing. The fire element doesnt seem to have such a great spell.

Qing Xu Taoist turned around and smiled slightly, Since tao friend is here, why not stay for a few days and discuss the immortal way together?

Qin Yi smiled and said, I have other important matters, so I wont stay any longer.

Taoist Qing Xu sighed, Mister really cant notice it?

I cant. Qin Yi said seriously, Im just a Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4 rookie. I cant even tell tao friends exact cultivation, let alone other things.

Taoist Qing Xu did not answer this question. He looked at the word tao for a long time before saying, People in the world are seeking for immortality. There are those who kill their wives, those who seize treasures, and those who dig graves. There are thousands of ways, so whats wrong with me in seeking longevity?

Qin Yi frowned.

Exposing yourself just like this? It doesnt make sense. Not many people can see through that you are a dead person. Why expose it if you wanted to conceal it?

Dont tell me you kill every tao seeker who visits. If you are really so crazy, I really made the wrong decision to go up the mountain. There is really no way to account for such a lunatic mind.

Tao friend, do you know why I practice zombie refinement, which is incompatible with the world, but I still spread the news about this immortal mountain, boast about my longevity, and attract people to visit me?

Qin Yi sighed, Isnt it just to attract the low-level cultivator and refine his flesh and blood?

Wrong, Im a cultivator, not a demon. Does tao friend know about a Morhping Stage rat beastkin in the town at the mountain foot?

Qin Yi,

The flesh and blood and pellet of this beastkin are all impressive. If I refine it, I will no longer need to drain the flesh and blood of mortals to maintain my youth. Unfortunately, this beastkin is cunning and never goes up the mountain. If I leave the leyline of this mountain, Im not his opponent. If tao friend is willing to work together to eliminate beastkin and defend the tao, Im willing to give half of the beastkin pellet to you. I wonder what does tao friend think about it?

Qin Yi almost laughed out loud. Why do you two have so similar brain circuits? Just get together already!

TL: So he did refine people, and he said hes not demon? Thats not how you convince a tao friend or did he intend to convince?
