No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 19: Extraterrestrial Demon
"Disciple, do you know what aliens and demons from outer space are?" Taoist Lan looked at Xu Shun's face full of dissatisfaction, as if he wanted him to eat the temple gate, and continued with a smile.

"Invisible and formless, its thoughts are transformed into billions, looking for suitable monks, infecting their minds and making them possessed! It is the demon from outside the domain," said Xu Shun.

"Ha? Hahaha~ What kind of extraterritorial demon is this?" Lan Daoren was stunned, then he patted his belly and laughed and said, "Disciple, where did you see it?"

Xu Shun felt that if he said that he read it from a book, Lan Daoren would probably laugh at him, so he said, "I just guessed!"

"Oh! If only the outer demons were so simple." Lan Daoren sighed and said, "Practice, practice, it's all your own business."

"How can others help me with my own affairs?"

“How can others correct their own mistakes?”

"It would be great if someone could be infected by my own inner demons!"

"If someone gets infected, you can pass the blame on to others, it won't be so embarrassing."

After interacting with Xu Shun for a long time, Lan Daoren also learned to "pass the buck". He said: "My disciple, do you know that there is a demon in your heart, called 'knowing clearly'?"

"What does 'knowingly' mean?" Xu Shun felt that the name of this inner demon was very strange.

"It's like knowing clearly that you should do something, but you don't do it." Lan Daoren patted his belly and said, "For example, you know clearly that you should practice well, but you can't help but do other things."

"Just like that student taking the imperial examination, he knew that only by studying hard and memorizing things could he have a future, but he just couldn't memorize them." Xu Shun understood what Lan Dao said and said.

"Almost! You think something is right, but you don't do it, or you can't do it, as if someone is stopping you." Lan Dao said: "This is the inner demon of cultivation, 'knowingly'."

Xu Shun said nothing.

I know that if I study hard, I can get into a good university, but I can't do it.

I know I can change my fate by studying for exams after get off work every day, but I can't help playing games or reading novels.

Knowing that if you leave something alone, there will be unpredictable consequences, you still sit back and watch it happen.

It’s not that we don’t know, but that we know but don’t do it.

The battle between rational thought and oneself.

He was like this in his previous life, what about this life?

He will probably encounter it, but he will overcome “I know it!

He wants to become an immortal, transform into flying colors and see the scenery in the sky!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Xu Shun said respectfully to Taoist Lan.

"It's nothing. You will encounter other difficulties in your practice in the future!" Lan Dao Ren said, "I understand the principle, but it's hard to do it."

“You understand the principle, but it feels different when you do it.”

“Practice means to cultivate and practice.”

Xu Shun said: "Yes! Disciple understands."

"Let's get back to the outer demons." Lan Dao Ren sneered and said, "Outer demons and aliens are actually the same thing."

"what?"

"The immortal who secretly came to the world of immortal cultivation!"

"Ah?" Xu Shun said, "How did the immortal who descended to earth become a demon from outer space?"

"Because a serious immortal would not come to the world of immortal cultivation to show off!" Taoist Lan said disdainfully.

Seeing Xu Shun was puzzled, Lan Daoren continued:

Lan Daoist continued, "Those immortals who secretly descended to the mortal world began to talk about their grandma and show off when they arrived at the immortal cultivation world."

"What? The world is filthy again."

"What? The spiritual energy in the human world is not as pure as the doghouse in the fairy world."

"What? Women in this world are so vulgar."

"The human world is not good in this or that, so the fairy world seems to be very good. They come to the fairy world to experience the feeling of being superior to others."

"It's difficult for everyone to say anything to their faces. After all, they are nominally the ancestors of some people. They can only kill them secretly and call them demons from outer space." It turns out that demons from outer space are like this.

Although Xu Shun was puzzled, he nodded.

Seeing Xu Shun's puzzled face, Lan Daoist said, "My disciple, now that you have become a cultivator, will you return to your hometown village to show off?"

I have become a cultivator, I have magical powers, and I even go to the small mountain village to show off to the villagers.

Isn’t that too low?

Xu Shun shook his head: "No!"

Lan Daoren: "I can't do that either!"

Xu Shun suddenly realized: "Why would a serious monk show off to ordinary people?"

"So..." Lan Daoist asked back: "My disciple, now that you have become an immortal, will you show off to the monks?"

Xu Shun waved his hands repeatedly: "Who would pretend to be a serious immortal?"

Immortals showing off to monks is just like monks showing off to ordinary people. It's so fucking tasteless.

"Can a person who pretends to be cool be a real immortal?" said Taoist Lan.

"Despicable!"

"Despicable!"

The master and the disciple said in unison, and then they both laughed.

At this moment, the master and the disciple were in perfect harmony.

"Shouldn't the immortals who came down to earth be very powerful?" Xu Shun asked. He seemed to have heard that the immortal cultivation world had played a trick on the immortals who came down to earth.

"Powerful, but not particularly powerful." Lan Dao Ren said: "The immortal cannot return to the immortal world, so he can only send his clone down."

"Some immortals even use their own clones to take over the body of a fetus, starting from the infant, and enjoy the feeling of being the only one in the world." Lan Dao Ren sneered, full of disdain.

He felt that these people were really just comforting themselves and amusing themselves.

Legend has it that when Buddha was born, he pointed to the sky with one hand and to the earth with the other and said: "I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth."

If someone is really born, purple clouds will appear in the sky, and then as soon as he is born, he will burst out with domineering aura and say, "I am Long Aotian, Long Aotian's dragon, Long Aotian's pride, Long Aotian's sky!"

It must have been very embarrassing!
Xu Shun thought about it and suddenly thought of those people who had awakened their wisdom. He said, "Could it be that those who have awakened their wisdom are all immortals who failed?"

"It is possible, but there is no evidence. I need to go to the fairyland to take a look!" Taoist Lan nodded.

My disciple is indeed very talented.

This can be associated with.

"Generally speaking, those extraterritorial demons all look down on the world and act pretentiously, which is very different from my disciples." Lan Daoist looked at Xu Shun and said:
"Everyone is special. Disciple, you are just a little bit more special. Relax and practice well."

He was afraid that Xu Shun might have some doubts in his heart that would affect his practice, so he comforted Xu Shun instead.

I don’t know if others are special or not, but in this world, I must be the most...wait.

Xu Shun thought of the stories about the Qinghua Sect that Lan Daoren had told casually. His experiences might not necessarily be the most special.

The sky gradually brightened, and the master and disciple ended their sunrise chat and continued to head east to attend Yan Kai's banquet.

They are like this on ordinary nights.

One question, one answer.

One teaches and the other learns.

A master and a disciple.

　Someone in my family is in the hospital, so my condition may not be good during this period, but I will try to update twice a day.
