That night, staying on the top of the barren mountain, Xunyi no longer recovered from meditation like before, but took out a piece of Nascent Soul Stone to replenish the spiritual power that was exhausted by the road, and then lay in the grass and stared at the stars in the sky and became stunned.
Seeing that he was lying for an hour and still moving, Concubine Mirror showed her spirit body, sat slanted beside him, and used a thin grass to touch his eyelashes and asked, "Are you worried about Gongsun or do you miss your fairy?"
Xunyi took away the fine grass, blinked his eyes and looked at the starry sky and said, "When Xiyang and I first entered the cultivation path, I made an appointment to repay the elders in the village, hoping to find them the elixir of immortality."
The fairy concubine smiled and said, "What two little stupid pigs. The monks and mortals are going on two completely contrary paths. The elixirs we take are to eliminate this skin, and mortals want to keep this skin. Although there are longevity-prolonging medicines, they must rely on cultivation. Mortals cannot take it, let alone the medicine for maintaining the beauty. Even if mortals can take it, wouldn't they be regarded as monsters by others? They just cause trouble."
Xunyi stared at a falling meteor and said, "I naturally understand this principle now. I just realized that I was very depressed for a few days, but then I gradually felt relieved."
"After practicing for a long time, the feelings of the world will naturally fade away." The Immortal Concubine said distractedly.
Xunyi shook his head and said, "It's not all, but... I feel that I have realized life and death."
The fairy concubine burst into laughter and joked: "It's so amazing. I'm afraid that Xianyin's great magical powers dare not say this. Please give me some advice."
Xunyi sat up and said seriously: "I am not joking with you. Even if I don't understand it thoroughly, it's not far from it. The old immortal master of Hongguang said that the way of heaven is only life and death. I didn't agree with it at first, but later I thought about it the more I felt it tasted. Since life is born from the fate of the past, then death is the result of this fate of the past. Next, you can enter the samsara and make other fates. If you have a bad mind and nature, you will not only fail to stop the fate of the past, but also form new entanglements. Then you will suffer more of the suffering of the cycle of reincarnation. Death is a kind of liberation for the former. Most of them are very calm before their death. For the latter, of course, the earlier the death, the better, so that you will not owe more debts. Therefore, death is not scary, and I am not afraid of death at all now."
The fairy concubine pretended to be surprised and said, "You are so amazing. It turns out that life and death are so simple. I have been practicing for tens of thousands of years."
Xunyi saw the playful intention in her eyes and said disdainfully: "The way is simple. Don't think that it's amazing to have been practicing for too many years. Anyway, I can die calmly now, can you?"
The fairy concubine curled her lips and said, "You are not understanding life and death, but the feeling of abandoning the world that you have no hope. If you are not me but Fairy Su, you must be more excited than anyone else."
Xunyi blinked, then frowned and said, "Don't mess up my heart. I finally realized something, don't mess up."
The fairy concubine covered her mouth and smiled, "You are so embarrassed to say it out loud. What kind of enlightenment is just a self-deception."
Xunyi sat in a daze for a while, then asked thoughtfully: "Is it only by practicing ruthlessness and desirelessness to become an immortal? Then what's the fun of being an immortal?"
The fairy concubine curled her smile and replied, "Although I am a long-term practitioner, my mind and nature are quite similar to you after I transform into a human form. I can say a few words. These love and desire are the biggest bonds of your spiritual cultivation. Haven't you realized something when you return to your hometown this time? There is no need to deliberately do it. As your cultivation improves, you will naturally take many things indifferently. If you return to your hometown in a hundred years, you will definitely have little emotion left. The Chinese house delicacies you envied when you were a mortal are now placed in front of you. You may not even bother to take a look at them."
Xunyi smiled bitterly and said, "A man lives for only a hundred years. All grudges, love and hatred will gradually fade away with the passing of his contemporaries, let alone the desire to be aware of, but love and hatred in the cultivation world is another matter. For example, you are a complete immortal. Not only is it beautiful but also has a long beauty. How can I forget and let go?"
"I want to say that Fairy Su is just right. Don't talk about me. The reason why you are in a relationship is that you have not reached the level of cultivation. When you really reach that level, it will be no different from looking at me and looking at ugly monsters. Let me give you an inappropriate example. In the eyes of tigers, ugly women are no different from beautiful women. They are just a delicious meal. The same is true for emotions. Did you cause any serious humiliation when you were a child? Now I think you will laugh. What are the things that thought they were dead at that time? Now I think about it? What are you going to see Fairy Su like a passerby one day."
"It's different." Xunyi shook his head and said.
The fairy concubine said confidently: "Same thing, Xia Chou can't speak to Bing, but now you don't know how to believe it, nor do you want to believe it."
Xunyi looked at the starry sky for a long time before exhaling, saying, "Then I am destined to be a summer insect in this life."
The fairy concubine said seriously: "If you have this idea, you will be wrong. You must not stop practicing. Everything will be let go."
Xun Yi smiled and said, "I am not trapped in love and unwilling to extricate myself. It is a material that I have never entrusted to cultivate in this life. If I want to become an immortal, I can only count on the next life."
The fairy sighed and said worriedly: "I really wish I could beat you up, I have such a high talent..."
Xunyi waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm tired of hearing this. Only you know the things about your family. Don't persuade me. It's better to show up and talk about yours. In that way, maybe I can understand something else. Do you have a Taoist partner?"
The fairy concubine gave him an angry look and said, "Aren't you? I'm your concubine."
Xunyi laughed and said, "Don't think of perfunctory, just say, I didn't hide anything from you, you have to tell me the truth."
"He was dead long ago." The fairy concubine said quietly.
"Die? How did you die?" Xunyi asked in surprise.
"He has only the initial stage of Nascent Soul cultivation."
