Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 361 357. Three Flowers, Illusion, Eight Feet and Eight Inches

The Beginning of One Yuan: Inserting three flowers is also called "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head." Even the Daluo Jinxian can be called "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head." Ultimately, this is just an interpretation. The Dao is wrong the moment it's spoken, and absurd the moment it's thought. How can it be burdened by form? Fellow Daoist Gou Xian has his own perspective, far surpassing others. Besides, I'm not some senior; just call me Xiao Cha.

Gou Xian: The gathering of the three flowers at the top of one's head is an illusion, nor are the clouds beneath one's feet real. The great dream must eventually awaken; the rootless and boundless will return to dust. True insight from fellow Daoist.

……

Luo Feng was slightly stunned. After racking his brains, he couldn't figure out who this person was. He muttered, "Could it be an alias? Or a time traveler, or a reincarnation?"

Then I saw what the group members said to the newcomers, and I felt that this group is still mainly based on mutual help, unlike those group leaders who exploit the group members.

After all, Yi Zi has a really good reputation, unlike a certain God King named Tang.

"But these group members may not be the people from the world I know. What if they are on the wrong side? It never hurts to be cautious."

In a coffee shop, Luo Feng scanned the code to pay and disappeared in the crowd. He had found a way to go to the upper realm.

……

Gou Xian: Forget about calling me a fellow Taoist. I’m Luo Tianyi, a newly promoted innate great immortal.

At the beginning of a new era: Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Luo. I wish you a long and prosperous path to immortality. In the future, you will become an immortal and a great master. Please take care of your friends in the group.

Gou Xian: Of course, of course. I also wish Fellow Daoist Xiao an infinite life, I wish the group leader eternal fame, a smooth sailing, and I wish all group members good health and longevity.

(Group leader) Yizi: Then Xiaoke would also like to congratulate everyone on being able to create Tianhuo fan fiction in the group in the future.

The beginning of a new year: add one.

Daughter of the Other Shore’s Dao Fruit: plus one.

Sister who transcends the way of heaven: plus one.

Shen Daxiong: Although I don’t understand what it means, I’ll add one anyway.

After that, group members added one more.

……

Xu Zhenqing smiled. "Gou Xian is quite cautious. He used the pseudonym of Tai Er, and even said these polite words. When he knew my Yuanshi, he immediately wished me infinite life and happiness. When he saw the word Yizi, he wished me fame. When he saw my identity as the group leader, he said he would have a smooth sailing."

"The boat has a favorable wind" is the "Water and Earth Bi" hexagram in the hexagram, which represents the leadership of the neighbors and the obedience of all. It is the best among the auspicious hexagrams. Hong Yi replied "Heaven and Fire Together", which is also a hexagram, representing understanding the meaning, and reiterating that the group should be of the same spirit, cooperate for mutual benefit, and create a win-win situation.

Meng Linger and Song Shuyu, who were behind, came from extraordinary backgrounds and naturally knew the meaning of it.

Xu Zhenqing did not think that Nobita did not understand these things. All the props in Doraemon were created by the god Nobita, who is the father of props. The props used for fortune-telling also include fortune-telling box, fortune-telling machine and prediction eyeballs.

He must be an expert in this field, and if he can memorize a few classic hexagrams, then he should be able to do it well, right?

Xu Zhenqing did not want to do anything bad to Luo Feng. After all, there were too many old sixes in Gou Xian's world. The opening was a king bomb, and a bunch of infinite flow protagonists defeated the main god.

At this time, a tabby cat was licking his ankle. In the cat's heterochromatic eyes, were the leaders of the major star regions who wanted to see him outside the imperial formation.

High up in Daluo Heaven, Xu Zhenqing naturally knew their intentions. He said in a profound voice, "Don't treat Xuanmen as a market, and use less effort to serve the gods."

This sentence made the religious leaders and kings from outside the earth who wanted to visit blush, thinking that this was a subtle criticism that their hearts were not devout enough in serving.

"As long as you have half a sincere heart, there is no need to worry about the Supreme Dharma not working." Some people seemed to have some realization and left after bowing their heads. Some even searched their souls and fell into madness. Most of them were still fools who understood nothing. They listened attentively but gained nothing.

"If a person is not burdened by form, he will see the Great Luotian before his eyes."

Then, a sincere seeker of the truth suddenly found himself in Daluo Heaven, and saw a Taoist with three flowers gathered on his head and five energies surging, looking like an immortal who had attained the truth.

The Taoist slumped down on the jade bed and suddenly shouted, "The three flowers gathering at the top of the head are an illusion, and the clouds rising from under your feet are not real."

Xu Zhenqing's true appearance appeared, the three flowers were cut off, the five qi dispersed, and he returned to his true nature, as if all the previous scenes were illusions.

Yuanshi has no form, and he himself does not change. It is just that sentient beings see him in this form, and he manifests himself in this form.

"All living beings are suffering. I beg the immortals to have mercy on me, grant me the method to become an immortal, and save the world." Some fanatics kowtow with every step they take, just to get closer to the immortals.

Xu Zhenqing pinched the flowers and smiled, and the Taoist fruits on the tops of the Taoist trees were exposed. Each Taoist fruit was a Taoist scripture, which was imprinted in the minds of these people.

"I am not an immortal, merely a mountain dweller. As for the method of becoming an immortal, you can learn it on your own." Xu Zhenqing waved his sleeves, driving these people back to Daluo Heaven, and recited the last line of his poem: "A single word or two can reveal the profound truth. Why would we need thousands of books on alchemy?"

A stone statue remained alone, and bowed in gratitude, saying, "I will never forget the grace of the Heavenly Venerable in enlightening me. After I attain immortality, I will bring glory to my Yuanshi sect."

Xu Zhenqing took a Dao Fruit and held it in his mouth. He said, "Fool, one scripture can lead to enlightenment. But without the millions of elixir books, how could the world know the true meaning of the Dao?"

"Disciple, please give me a name, Master!" The stone statue kowtowed again.

Xu Zhenqing scolded him: "You stubborn stone, how can you be so greedy? You will only be eight feet and eight inches in your life."

After saying this, he carved the words "仞夙" on the stone statue. Eight feet is "仞" and eight inches is "稚".

The other party bowed to thank him, but found that he had already left Daluo Heaven. The girl dressed as a wizard knocked on his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Stone, what did the immortal say?"

"Nangong Tiexin, I now have a name, Shi Renzhi, which means eight feet and eight inches." The stone statue said seriously.

Nangong Tiexin smiled and said, "It's eight feet and eight inches, right? Eight inches means eight inches of heart, which refers to the eight stages of maturity of kindness."

"Seed mind, bud mind, blister mind, leaf mind, blossom mind, fruit mind, enjoyment mind, infant mind."

"It seems the immortal has high expectations of you. I hope you can benefit all living beings and bear good fruits."

"But I don't have parents. Yazhongxin should serve my parents and relatives." Shi Renzhi said anxiously.

Nangong Tiexin said with regret: "You are a stone man, and the heaven and earth are your parents."

"Eight feet is a ren. Do you think this means 'you are destined to be eight feet, so don't ask for even ten feet,' or that you are unsatisfied? But you must understand that eight feet represents a person's outward strength and toughness; it's a warning not to lose the fundamentals of the Tao."

"First the form, then the heart."

"Master, it's just a few words, does it really have so much meaning?" Shi Renzhi was silent. He had little education and thought that just having a name was good enough.

Nangong Tiexin patted his chest and assured: "You have a heart of stone, and I have a heart of iron. Together we have a heart of stone. You can be right if you listen to me."

Daluotian, Xu Zhenqing felt a little helpless. Nangong Tiexin had a typical reading comprehension psychology. He named it like this, obviously because he meant that the stone statue was eight feet and eight inches tall.
