Chapter 311: Fugue in Taixu
"May I ask where my friend is from? How can I know the old man's true form?"
On Tianxin Lake, a small boat was slowly crossing.
At the stern of the boat, an old boatman wearing a raincoat and rowing the boat slowly and powerfully with an oar slowly opened his mouth and asked Su Ling.
The old boatman was still a little concerned about how Su Leng saw through his cultivation.
In response to this, Su Leng just smiled and replied: "My Taoist's aura is completely restrained, just like a mortal. It would be difficult to detect it if I were elsewhere, but if I am mixed in with a group of real boatmen, I will be very conspicuous."
"oh?"
When the old boatman at the stern heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?"
Su Leng smiled and replied again: "It's very simple. Although fellow Taoists seem to be no different from those boatmen, those mortal boatmen came here and were willing to be boatmen to ferry Taishang's disciples across the lake. All they wanted was for their descendants to have a glimmer of immortality.
Or even if there is no magical opportunity, when future generations are in trouble, the identity of the boatman at the Taishangjiao ferry can make people scruple. For this reason, many of those boatmen have spiritual tea utensils on their boats, so that they can be used in the coming and going.
The disciples of the Taishang Sect can provide some help when they need it. But Taoist friends are different. The boats on the Taoist friends' boats are all ordinary things, and there is no immortal thing at all. This is very obvious among a group of boatmen who are seeking immortality.
It’s extremely special.”
It is very difficult to deduce the answer from clues, but when you know the result, it is very simple to find or make up clues.
Su Leng is like this now.
After obtaining the other party's information with the [self-causal omniscience] ability in the mind, it is relatively easy to persuade the other party by looking for differences between the other party's information and the surrounding boatmen.
really!
After listening to Su Ling's words, the Yuanying old boatman nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it... It turns out that the old man paid too much attention to the ordinary, but the result turned out to be the most extraordinary..."
After saying that, the old boatman picked up the oar and leaned it against his body. He freed his hands and cupped his hands towards Su Ling and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts. I have learned a lesson."
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist."
Su Leng replied with a smile, and then asked: "Actually, I'm a little confused, and I hope fellow Taoist can shed some light on it."
"Fellow Taoist, I would like to ask why I disguise myself as a mortal and work as a boatman on the ferry?"
The old boatman obviously knew what Su Leng wanted to ask, so he spoke.
Su Leng was startled after hearing this, then nodded and admitted: "Yes."
That's right.
He was really confused about this Nascent Soul's behavior.
After establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between the two parties, Su Ling learned that this old Nascent Soul boatman was named "Chen Daowen" and that his own cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. His current body age was more than a thousand years old, plus the years he had lived in the rebirth cycle.
, already more than five thousand years old!
Moreover, when he was young, he was also one of the peerless geniuses in this world, with a great reputation.
Later, after breaking through the Nascent Soul, his cultivation became even smoother, because he himself grew up as a disciple of the Taishang Sect. He can be said to be one of the top beings in the Taishang Sect, except for the existences in the Supreme Transformation Realm!
With such an existence, there is no need to come to the ferry to take a boat to ferry people over.
It is impossible to say that this is a hobby of the other party, because Su Leng has read the other party's life experience information, and the other party did not have such a hobby in his previous life.
Moreover, from the information about the other party's life experience, Su Ling saw that the other party came here to cross the lake disguised as a mortal after being called to a meeting by the divine being of the Taishang Cult.
Therefore, Su Ling was very curious about the other party's behavior - the monks in this world loved teleportation and communication after breaking through the golden elixir, especially Nascent Soul.
When Chen Daowen met with the divine being of Taishang Religion, the communication was also to convey spiritual thoughts, so Su Leng did not know what the two exchanged.
"Haha, the reason why I came here to ferry people across the lake is very simple. It is to prepare for the future 'Wandering of the World'."
After seeing Su Leng nod, Chen Daowen chuckled and replied without hesitation.
Too fuzzy?
This word made Su Ling frown slightly.
He was not a monk in this world. Although he relied on the ability of "hypnosis" and "self-causal omniscience" to understand the practice methods of this world, it was only limited to Nascent Soul and below.
For monks above Nascent Soul, communication is basically through the transmission of spiritual thoughts. Su Leng [self-causal omniscience] can only see what the other party does.
Therefore, he does not understand the knowledge of cultivation above Nascent Soul.
However, the word "god" in the word "Shenyou Taixu", coupled with the fact that Chen Daowen's cultivation has reached the late Yuanying stage, and he came to the ferry to ferry people across the lake only after meeting the god-forming being of the Taishang Sect
.
Su Ling judged in his mind that this word was probably the key for "Nascent Soul" to break through to the realm of "god transformation"!
But what exactly it is, can only be known after gaining the attention of the divine being and snooping on the other person's life experience information.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Leng quickly brought his mind back to reality, and then he held up his hands with a "sudden realization" look on his face and said:
"I see...I have learned a lesson!"
Although he doesn't know what "fugue is too virtual" is, this does not prevent him from giving worldly compliments.
When the old boatman Chen Daowen saw this, he smiled slightly and stopped talking about this matter. He said: "It may not be easy for Taoist friends to join our Taishangjiao. Although our Taishangjiao recruits Yuanying elders, there is no need to wait.
It’s a certain season, but the assessment is quite strict, I wonder if you can be sure?”
While talking, he picked up the oar again, put it into the lake and started sliding it, allowing the boat that had stopped slowly to swim forward again.
"I'm not sure."
After hearing what he said, Su Leng smiled and shook his head.
The examination for Taishangjiao's recruitment of Yuanying elders does not mainly test one's cultivation, but one's mind and understanding of Tao.
There is basically no shortage of things like cultivation that can break through the Nascent Soul, and fighting with supernatural powers is just a way to survive the battle between the great avenues on the road of cultivation.
However, these two are not the key to determining how far you can go on the road to immortality.
After Nascent Soul, the key to determining how far one can go on the road to immortality lies in one's mind and understanding of Tao - at least, this is what Su Leng saw from Chen Daowen's life experience information.
The other party was a late Nascent Soul from Taishangjiao, so he naturally participated in the assessment of foreign Nascent Souls.
Although communication between Nascent Souls is mainly based on spiritual thoughts, occasionally speaking is also used, especially when multiple Nascent Souls are taking assessments together.
In these few "occasions", Su Leng was able to get a glimpse of such a statement.
Su Leng really wasn't sure about this.
Because the so-called "mind" and "understanding of Tao" are too abstract.
Chen Daowen was not surprised after hearing Su Ling's words. He smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay. My Supreme Sect is different from the other two sects. I pay more attention to the mind and understanding of the Tao. Fellow Taoists can rely on the short moment of landing."
If you use your observation to see through Lao Chan's true form, and step forward with determination to expose Lao Chan, your character should not be bad. As for your understanding of Tao... this also varies from person to person. Maybe fellow Taoists have unique insights in this aspect.
Woolen cloth?"
...You know how to comfort people.
Su Leng laughed awkwardly a few times in agreement, then changed the subject and asked: "Fellow Taoist, may I ask how often Senior Ming Luo usually preaches?"
Ming Luo is the only god-like existence of the Taishang Sect that exists in the world today!
All the foreign Nascent Souls are trying their best to enter the Taishang Religion because they want to listen to the sermons of this transformed god.
The main purpose of Su Leng's visit this time was to attract the attention of Ming Luo, the god-incarnation. Therefore, after the topic became awkward, he took the initiative to change the topic to this aspect.
However, it was too utilitarian and direct for him to listen to the sermon of Ming Luo, the god-forming being, before he passed the examination.
Although Chen Daowen knew that all foreign Nascent Souls who wanted to join the Taishang Cult came here for this reason, others did not tell them.
Su Ling's behavior of asking him directly made him feel a little disgusted. The good impression that Su Ling had after seeing through his identity immediately faded to nothing.
I only heard him reply calmly: "If you can pass the assessment and join the Taishang Cult, and accumulate enough contributions, then if the Ming Luo Patriarch happens to return from his 'Wandering in the Taixu', you can use the accumulated contributions to exchange for the opportunity to listen to the Ming Luo Patriarch.
"
After saying these words, Chen Daowen lost interest in talking, and the paddle in his hand shook faster.
Su Leng did this on purpose. The purpose was to quickly go to the island for the assessment so as not to continue talking to the other party. Talking too much would inevitably expose the nature of the "parallel import" Nascent Soul.
So, there was no more words to say along the way.
Soon, the boat the two of them were traveling on passed through layers of white mist and arrived at an island ferry in the middle of the lake.
