The Legend of Honghuang Erlang

A small bridge with flowing water, young orioles crowing for the first time, there is a family hidden in the empty valley, a figure in long clothes stands in front of the flowing water, with hands behind his back, quietly lost in thought.

One person, one valley, one piece of heaven and earth, almost inseparable.

"Master?"

Yang Jian stepped forward and shouted softly.

"come on."

Master Yuding yelled softly, and Yang Jian stepped forward and made a salute behind Master.

Do you want to congratulate Master? Will doing so make Master feel bad? However, sanctification is something that should be congratulated after all, and it doesn't matter if you are vulgar as a disciple.

"Master..."

"Forget about congratulations," Master Yu Ding laughed softly, and turned to look at Yang Jian, but there was a little desolation in his eyes.

It seems that sanctification is not something worth celebrating for the real Yuding himself.

Could it be that the master did not become a saint, but failed when he challenged a saint?

Yang Jian suddenly panicked. He had never panicked for a moment when facing life and death several times, but at this moment, it was really difficult for him to calm himself down, and he couldn't stop thinking about these things.

Master Yuding seemed to understand what Yang Jian was thinking, sighed softly, and said, "Don't worry, I've already taken that step as a teacher, and there won't be any danger."

"Master...really?"

"Why did I lie to you for my master?" Yu Ding gently raised his left hand, and a small blue tripod was gently twirled in his hand, a road that Yang Jian had never experienced before in the world slowly spread out.

This is, Jade Cauldron Good Fortune Dao!

It is the avenue that belongs only to Daoist Yuding!

The monk and the monk's own way are actually interdependent.

Relying on the understanding of the Tao, the monks step into longevity step by step, step by step into a higher realm; and the Tao is also continuously sublimated by the monks, and gradually enters between heaven and earth, becoming the truth between heaven and earth.

The Jade Cauldron Dao of Creation cultivated by the Jade Cauldron has now become a real avenue, and the Jade Cauldron Master has also used this avenue he has developed to stand at the pinnacle of the Dao Realm.

Avenue saint.

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and then grinned at the master, "No matter what, the disciple must say congratulations. From now on, the master will be the eighth saint in the wild. Congratulations, the master has fulfilled his wish."

"It's nothing worthy of congratulations," Yu Ding looked at the small tripod in his hand and sighed softly. The tripod slowly turned into a light yellow orb, filled with spots of light.

The real Yuding said: "In order to achieve the position of saint, I have carried too many sins for my teacher, and I have made countless big mistakes..."

"Master, that was made by Kunpeng, and it has nothing to do with Master," Yang Jian quickly comforted, "Master is Master, and Kunpeng is Kunpeng. Master has said it many times before."

"But being a teacher is born from Kunpeng's heart demon. Although he and Kunpeng have different hearts, they have the same origin. The sins that Kunpeng has done should be borne by the teacher."

Yu Ding waved his hand, "Don't mention this matter, you don't have to worry. What I think about now is to do more for Hong Huang, to make up for my debt to Hong Huang."

"Master..."

Yang Jian smiled helplessly, and could only nod in response.

"This is the state of mind of being a teacher. Let's go anywhere as a teacher."

"Well," Yang Jian nodded, his mind moved slightly, and the robe on his body was changed into the one he often wore on Yuquan Mountain back then.

The two masters and apprentices walked slowly along the stream, but this stream was the memory locked in the heart of Master Yuding. If Yang Jian stared at the stream carefully, he could see many scenes flashing in it.

After walking for a while, Daoist Yuding suddenly asked: "Do you still remember that you once said, 'On top of longevity, you will be free for the rest of your life'?"

"I remember," Yang Jian said with a sneer, "I was young and inexperienced back then, Master, please don't make fun of me. Longevity is just the beginning of cultivating Taoism. If you want to live a happy life, it is really difficult."

Master Yuding smiled and said: "Actually, I remember that when I first practiced, I also said similar words, but the one who accompanied me at that time was Xuangui."

A little lonely emptiness crossed Yuding's gaze again, Yang Jian coughed, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Master, when was the happiest period after you practiced Taoism?"

"After you entered Yuquan Mountain."

Yang Jian was taken aback, he didn't expect Master to say that, although he was a little happy in his heart, he was somewhat puzzled.

Yu Ding said: "When I separated from Kunpeng Yuanshen as a teacher, from the time when a ray of obsession turned into a spirit god, until you came to worship under my sect, what I thought about in my heart was only how to practice and how to become a saint, and I never let it go."

"Then what happens after I become a teacher?"

"I think that if you can't cultivate yourself into a saint, it's not bad to cultivate an apprentice who can cultivate into a saint," Master Yuding chuckled, brushing his left hand, and picture scrolls appeared on the stream.

From when Yang Jian entered the mountain until Yang Jian moved out of Yuquan Mountain with his family...

Reverend Yuding sighed a long time, and said softly: "Actually, being a teacher is just using your cultivation to enter the realm, constantly comforting yourself, and constantly avoiding the past."

"Master," Yang Jian's heart was naturally full of emotion, and his fingers slid across the corners of his eyes without a trace, "Now that Master has been sanctified, he should let go of his obsession."

"Yeah, it's time to let go," Master Yuding breathed a sigh of relief, and continued walking along the stream silently.

Yang Jian frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong, and hurriedly followed.

"Master?" Yang Jian reached out and grabbed Daoist Yuding's arm.

Daoist Yuding seemed to wake up from a dream, his body froze, his eyes were empty, and gradually became brighter.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Master Yuding patted the back of Yang Jian's hand, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Because this obsession was let go at the moment of sanctification, the teacher was trapped in this state of mind and couldn't get out."

Yang Jian was startled: "Why?"

Yu Ding said: "Being a teacher is born with a ray of obsession. If you lose this obsession, how and why should you live?"

Yang Jian's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Master, why do you think so? Is there no one or anything in this world that you care about other than cultivating the Tao? Master, cultivating the Tao is just to become enlightened, and enlightenment is just to make yourself live better, without having to suffer all kinds of threats, and have the strength to protect everything you care about. Cultivating the Tao should not be just for the sake of cultivating the Tao!"

"rest assured……"

Master Yuding's eyes revealed a little helplessness, after all, he was lectured by his apprentice.

"From the moment you came in, as a teacher, you have already got out of such a predicament."

Yang Jian asked a little worriedly: "Master, are you really coming out?"

The real person Yuding said: "Having become a Dao, we should make up for the mistakes of the past, protect the prehistoric world and thousands of living beings, and it can be regarded as forgiveness for the sins Kunpeng did back then."

While Yang Jian was slightly relieved, he was also somewhat helpless.

But he faintly felt that Master didn't finish his words, there seemed to be other more important reasons for Yu Ding to decide to stay, instead of directly dissipating itself into an ethereal spirit.

But Daoist Yuding didn't say anything, and Yang Jian didn't need to ask more questions. As long as he was sure that Master would not be overwhelmed, he didn't need to ask for anything else.

Yang Jian asked, "What is Master's plan for the future?"

"Either go back to Yuquan Mountain to retreat, or continue to practice under the Qilin Cliff," Master Yuding thought for a while, "I should go back to Yuquan Mountain, where I am the most familiar and the most comfortable place to live."

"Master and Daozi Tianyan, who is more powerful?"

"Of course, fellow Taoist Tianyan is better than being a teacher. His avenue of practice is all-encompassing, and he even has the Chaos Clock in his hand."

Yang Jian asked again: "Then how does Master compare with Master Sanqing?"

Yuding pondered for a few moments, and analyzed the strength of Sanqing in detail with Yang Jian, but he didn't realize that the topic had been led away by Yang Jian.

The two masters and apprentices strolled by the stream until they reached the deepest part of the empty valley.

There was a mist ahead, and the stream stretched into the mist.

Yang Jian stopped and was blocked by an invisible barrier; Master Yuding continued to walk forward, walked two steps before stopping, and looked back at Yang Jian.

"Master, let's go out and chat."

"Stop chatting, and go to practice. Being a teacher and becoming a saint can only add a little more combat power to the prehistoric people. It is you who can really support the future catastrophe."

Yu Ding waved his hand, Yang Jian bowed to his master, raised his head and smiled, his figure was about to disappear slowly.

"Thank you for the teacher, all the fellow Taoists who came to watch the ceremony, and the teacher will not go out to meet them."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Jian responded, the word 'Master', after he disappeared, was still turning around in this empty valley.

Above Qilin Cliff, Yang Jian, who had been restless for a long time, shook his lower body.

At the same time, jade lotuses floated between the sky and the earth, and the fairy mist around Qilin Cliff kept churning, and finally turned into eight acres of Qingyun.

The auspicious beasts cry, and the dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness.

The sun is shining for millions of miles, and the heaven and the earth are now in the Taoist court.

A jade-colored beam of light soared into the sky from Qilin Cliff, piercing through the wilderness in an instant, piercing through the endless chaotic sea, and forcefully squeezed into a road in the sea of ​​Taoism in the tangible realm!

Daoist Yuding, become a saint today!

The second great sage in the prehistoric period, during the catastrophe of Journey to the West, he preached the Tao at Qilin Cliff in Kunlun Mountains.

...

After Yang Jian left, before Cheng Sheng Xiangrui appeared, that short moment.

In the state of mind of Master Yuding, after Yang Jian left, Master Yuding stood in the fog that symbolized the future journey, and raised his left hand.

Yang Jian only knew that in his master's state of mind, what he was thinking in his mind would be directly detected by Master Yuding; but he didn't know that Master Yuding could directly read Yang Jian's memory here.

At this moment, the palm of Daoist Yuding is a picture.

The picture is from Yang Jian's perspective. There is a strange snake in the picture. The strange snake has transformed into an old man, who is constantly talking about...

After the sage reaches the peak, he can choose two paths, one is the path to perfect his own way - Rongdao; the other is the path that is extremely difficult but can fulfill himself - Xeon.

If the Dao Sage can absorb the Dao left by the Rongdao Saint, and suppress this Dao for his own use, he can directly enter the Supreme Realm.

‘You are the most powerful person who comes from practice? The strongest ones are indeed like this, but the others all rely on this way to seize the way...'

"Rongdao..."

"Xeon..."

Master Yuding dismissed the picture in his hand, looked at the direction where Yang Jian disappeared, and smiled gently.

In the next moment, he stepped out of his state of mind, blooming the way of the Jade Cauldron...
