This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 147: Not Nameless, Just Forgotten

Ask whatever comes to mind, Liu Hongyu asked Kurosawa directly.

"Is the journey to the South China Sea very far? How long would it take Senior Xi Miao to make a round trip in the past? What if I go to the South China Sea to look for her?"

Hei Ze was slightly stunned, looked at Liu Hongyu for a while, and when he saw that he really didn't know, he scratched his head and answered.

"Master Liu, you're kidding. I've never been to the South China Sea, so I can't say how far it is. I only know that the Little Sacred Mountain is a long way from the South China Sea. As for how long the Queen used to travel back and forth, she wouldn't say. I only know that sometimes it took months, sometimes years. She wouldn't just go and come back immediately. She might have other things to do, or she might have gone somewhere else along the way."

"As for looking for her."

Kurosawa paused and shook his head again.

"We don't know where she went. The South China Sea is so vast, how can we find her?"

Liu Hongyu was subconsciously surprised.

"Aren't we heading to the Holy Land of Putuo?"

Kurosawa smiled.

"It seems you know something. Yes, most likely you went to Putuo."

"Then how can we not find it?"

Liu Hongyu's question stumped Heize again. If it were anyone else, he might have become suspicious, but it was nothing for the person in front of him. The real person also didn't know a lot of things last time.

"The Immortal Master knows that he went to Putuo, but where is Putuo? There are many people in the world who search for him, but how can he find him in the vast South China Sea?"

"Putuo is not a place to live"

Liu Hongyu paused mid-sentence.

Hei Ze waited eagerly but didn't hear any further words. He thought to himself, it seems that the ancient true cultivators knew about Putuo, and they thought everyone knew about it.

Of course, Kurosawa didn't ask about this kind of thing, so he still had to keep a good sense of propriety.

Liu Hongyu stopped talking at this moment, frowning and looking thoughtful.

Yes, Putuo, my modern hometown, is accessible to everyone and is a scenic spot. But that may just be the Putuo Mountain understood by the world, not the Putuo Mountain I am looking for at this moment.

"Okay, thank you, Black King, for telling me. I won't stay here for long. If Senior Xi Miao returns, please let her know that Master has something urgent to discuss with her and hopes she will leave quickly!"

Kurosawa nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll come to Little Holy Mountain every day and make sure to pass on your message!"

"Thank you very much!"

Liu Hongyu bowed again and Heize hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Don't dare!"

Then, under Heize's gaze, Liu Hongyu summoned the spiritual sword Xingyuan, which floated into the air and turned into a sword rainbow, instantly disappearing into the Little Holy Mountain.

Seeing this scene, Hei Ze, who was still bowing to the sky, suddenly widened his eyes. He immediately looked in the direction of the sword rainbow, but there was no trace of it in the sky over there.

What a fast escape speed!
What kind of flying method is this?
Judging from the feeling of the magic sword being unsheathed just now, could it be the legendary flying with a sword?

It turns out that only with the true teachings of the immortal sect can one see the real things!

But why is the real person so anxious to find the king?
Kurosawa couldn't help but think about it for a long time, but his intuition told him that it must be something big.

We are one with the real people in the world, and there will definitely be a place for us between heaven and earth in the future!
Thinking of this, the big guy Kurosawa's body began to tremble slightly, and he seemed very excited. This is a great thing, this is a great thing. A man should do great things and achieve unprecedented achievements!

Well, what did it say next?

As Kurosawa was thinking, he took out another book from his arms, probably some folk story book.

After rummaging around for a while, he finally found what he was looking for. The black fish demon became excited again and didn't even care about the spiritual flowers and herbs, just standing there in excitement.
-
The Hidden Immortal Valley itself is not far from the Small Holy Mountain. Compared to the vast world, it can be said to be a neighboring country.

Liu Hongyu used the sword to fly again, so it was naturally still early when he returned to Yinxian Valley.

However, unlike what Liu Hongyu had imagined, when his master was anxiously waiting, the school had already started classes when he returned to Yinxian Valley. He could hear the recitation as soon as he arrived outside the school.

The younger students were also diligently studying, just like any other morning in Hidden Immortal Valley. However, the students at the academy were no ordinary people these days. Even though there were still only a few who had awakened their spirits, they were all very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Liu Hongyu didn't deliberately suppress his presence or footsteps, so when he arrived outside the academy, almost all the students had already heard him coming, and could even tell it was the eldest brother from his all-too-familiar footsteps.

When Liu Hongyu arrived in front of the school, the sound of reading had stopped.

Zhuang Lin looked outside and saw that Liu Hongyu had already arrived at the corridor.

"Master, Senior Xi Miao is not at home. I heard from the Manshui King that he must have gone to the Putuo Holy Land in the South China Sea. He has been gone for over a month and I don't know when he will return. So I asked the Black King to pass on the message and I will come back to report first."

"Okay, I understand. Please take a seat."

"It's Master!"

Liu Hongyu was the only one like this in the entire school. He called Zhuang Lin "Master" during class and "Teacher" at other times. However, other students were more accustomed to calling Zhuang Lin "Master" regardless of the occasion.

By noon, the rest of the students had left the school to go home for lunch. Apart from Zhuang Lin, the only one left in the school was Liu Hongyu, who had deliberately let Xiaowen go home first and stayed here.

"Master, where is the senior who holds the umbrella?"

Zhuang Lin tidied up the table, glanced at Liu Hongyu, and smiled.

"It's a shame you waited until now to ask. I've chosen a quiet room on Wudao Peak to recover in seclusion."

Wudao Peak is the retreat place designed and built earlier. There are many quiet rooms on it, which spiral upward from the mountainside to the temple on the top of the mountain. Together there are hundreds of retreat rooms. It is also one of the nodes with the richest and most active spiritual energy in Yinxian Valley. However, because basically no one uses it now, it is jokingly called the "backup guest room" by the people in the valley.

"Retreat? Master, do you know that Senior Xi Miao can't be invited back?"

Otherwise, how could the senior holding the umbrella go into seclusion directly? They should have discussed things together.

Zhuang Lin nodded.

"I just have a similar feeling, but it's not clear. However, your return also means that she really can't come for the time being. Even if she comes, she is not in seclusion, so she can come out at any time."

Liu Hongyu also felt curious at this moment and couldn't help but continue asking.

"Master, what's his name? Do you know anything about his past? From what Gao Ran and the others have said, he seems quite powerful!"

Zhuang Lin thought about it, shook his head and sighed.

"I can only vaguely sense that he has a purpose in entering the Dao and a purpose in protecting it. He has practiced for over five hundred years, and it's not just us who are waiting. He doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want to ask. He forgets what he says, and who can know what's in his heart?"

"You won't even tell me your name?"

Zhuang Lin thought for a moment before speaking.

"It's not that he doesn't want to. His words of forgetting are not excuses. He has no name or surname. If you, the umbrella-bearing guardian, feel uncomfortable calling him, then just call him Wuming!"

Liu Hongyu recalled what he had said. At this moment, the impression he had of the man holding the umbrella, apart from his extraordinary skills, was only his loneliness and silence.

"By the way, Master, why is his state of cultivation so different from what we know?"

This hits the nail on the head. The umbrella holder may have chosen to forget the past, but they had in-depth discussions on matters of cultivation. Although it was essentially just a beginning, it at least allowed Zhuang Lin to understand the umbrella holder's situation.

"Using reality to exist in emptiness, using emptiness to enter reality, between self and non-self, between reality and emptiness, using energy to create, controlling energy to escape, being close yet distant, concentrating the mind on heaven and earth. What does this look like to you?"

Liu Hongyu pondered over it and finally shook his head.

"I am stupid and can't think of it."

Finally, there is something you can't think of. If I don't give you something difficult, I won't feel a sense of accomplishment as a master.

Zhuang Lin smiled, sorted out the papers submitted by the students on the desk, and stood up.

"This method has some profound mysteries of the primordial spirit, but it's not a common way of cultivating the truth."

"soul!"

Liu Hongyu's voice was slightly excited. This was the mystery of the level of cultivation. Normally, he didn't even dare to read the Immortal Scroll. He really couldn't bear it.

"Yes, the primordial spirit! It's just that during the time he was cultivating, especially during the years when he was becoming a Taoist, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had long been unsustainable and could no longer support a complete cultivation. So he abandoned his physical body and preserved his spirit. He lived by thoughts and existed by thoughts. So it is said that he is similar to the primordial spirit, but not the primordial spirit. He was born by thoughts, but also like a body in thoughts."

"Compared to that, the pure Shinto path is much easier to walk, but he even forgets himself. Those who are arrogant and proud are willing to be controlled by the desires of all living beings!"

Liu Hongyu was shocked. At first, he seemed to understand, but then he gradually understood. From the master's few words at this moment, he got a glimpse of the cruelty of the disappearance of spiritual energy in the transformation of heaven and earth.
But at the same time, Liu Hongyu is also moved by the efforts of all the practitioners in the world, who are trying their best to find a way out no matter what era!
