Chapter 180 The Path of Reversing Life Threefold, Heading to the Northeast
"But if reversing the cycle of rebirth is a dead end, are we supposed to give up on the triple reversal of rebirth?"
Hearing Zuo Ruotong's conclusions, the disciples present could not help but feel worried and panicked.
When people seek the Dao and inquire about its mysteries, they mostly seek the outward appearance of immortals and the demeanor of true men, without asking about the profound and mysterious truths within.
Firstly, because most people are mediocre, and in any given era, only a handful of people possess exceptional talent, while the talents of the vast majority of others limit their vision.
Secondly, the path to enlightenment is difficult to find and the principles are hard to understand. Even those who seek enlightenment within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) are mostly guests within the sect, not people who truly understand the Tao.
These disciples, rushing through their lives, never understood how to follow the path they sought or where it led, thus easily losing their way on the path.
The long road ahead is filled with the loneliness of those who came before and those who will come after.
Difficult, difficult, difficult! The Dao is the most profound. If no one follows in its footsteps, one will only waste one's Daoist heart in vain.
So when Laozi, the founder of Taoism, attained enlightenment, he rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass. He came empty-handed and was about to leave empty-handed as well.
However, when faced with the request of Yin Xi, the general guarding Hangu Pass, Laozi, the founder of Taoism, hesitated and left behind the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching for posterity.
The Tao Te Ching explains what the Tao is and points out the direction for spiritual practice for later generations.
This Taoist patriarch, Lao Tzu, is also waiting ahead for future generations to follow in his footsteps and pursue his path.
Faced with the panic of the disciples below, Zuo Ruotong did not stop them, because it was only natural for people to be flustered, and even he had his own concerns and worries.
Although the Triple Rebirth is a misguided and dead-end path, the Sanyi Sect cannot abandon it.
Because the Triple Rebirth is the root of the Three Ones Sect!
Zuo Ruotong exposed the deception of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique in front of everyone today, not to completely change it or abandon it, but to restore the broken path of the Sanyi Sect.
But continuing on the path of cultivation is such a difficult problem that even he, the Great Immortal of Great Abundance, was not confident.
Therefore, he needs people to walk with him, which is now the Sanyi Sect. He wants to gather the strength of everyone to walk a righteous path!
Moreover, ensuring the continuation of the path of the Sanyi Sect is a major event involving the entire Sanyi Sect and should not be undertaken by one person alone.
Throughout history, even Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School, could not have achieved enlightenment without the help of his disciples and followers.
Therefore, Zuo Ruotong is waiting, waiting for these confused disciples to become his companions!
A moment later, when the disciples present quieted down again and turned their attention to Zuo Ruotong, the Great Ying Immortal finally smiled.
"Hahaha... I am not alone on my path, I am not alone on my path!"
Zuo Ruotong laughed heartily, his white aura growing ever more hazy and ethereal, making this immortal appear even more otherworldly.
But in the next instant, Zuo Ruotong, who seemed to be about to merge with the Dao and transcend the mortal realm, suddenly changed and became no different from an ordinary mortal.
The ethereal white mist vanished without a trace, and the once otherworldly Great Ying Immortal, without the "immortal aura" surrounding him, was instead stained with some dust.
"Gentlemen, are you willing to join me, Zuo Ruotong, in forging a new path for Trinity and continuing the journey of rebellion?"
His voice was clear and resonant, like clouds and thunder, full of righteousness and fierce determination, echoing in the ears of everyone present.
Although his words were a question, his tone was very certain, which calmed everyone's previously turbulent emotions.
"We are willing!"
"As disciples of Trinity, we should continue the path of Trinity!"
……
All the disciples and followers present stood at attention and bowed solemnly to Zuo Ruotong in front of them, their firm voices echoing in the courtyard of the Ancestral Hall.
Zuo Ruotong got up from the ground and looked at everyone with a smile on his lips.
"Let us all strive together!"
"yes!"
A turmoil involving the entire Sanyi Sect was quelled instantly by Zuo Ruotong, the pillar of stability.
At this moment, many more figures appeared on the broken path of the Sanyi Sect. They stood with Zuo Ruotong, exploring the unknown future.
……
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
While the Sanyi Sect gathered its strength to forge a path to heaven, Wudang Mountain was far from peaceful.
On the Wudang Mountain road, Baihu carried Zhou Meng and Lü Qian behind, while Zhou Sheng and Hong Yin led the way. The four of them walked up the mountain along the somewhat dilapidated mountain path.
In front of the Ancestral Master Hall square, a short, old Taoist priest stood with his head bowed and his back to the mountain path. He was the current head of Wudang Sect, the one who sent his disciples down the mountain back then.
When the four people and one tiger arrived at the square in front of the hall, the Wudang Sect Leader, who had his back to the crowd, slowly opened his eyes, turned around unhurriedly, and said.
"You're back?"
"Wudang disciple Lü Qian greets his master!"
Lu Qian, who was originally sitting astride the white tiger, immediately jumped off the tiger's back, stroked his whisk, and bowed to the other party.
The three fellow disciples on the other side also bowed, but Zhou Sheng and Hong Yin had a strange look on their faces. Their master was pretending to deceive the younger generation again.
"It's good that you're back."
The Wudang sect leader exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, his every move displaying the demeanor of a senior Taoist master. He stroked his beard and sized up Lü Qian for a moment.
"Young man Lu, come with me here first."
The Wudang sect leader led Lü Qian into the main hall, with the white tiger following closely behind, its colorful white tail swaying.
"Squeak—"
As the two men and one tiger entered the main hall, the doors and windows seemed to be blown by the wind and closed tightly.
In the silent main hall, Lü Qian looked around at the familiar scene and felt a little emotional. It was here that he had first joined Wudang.
"Lu Qian of Wudang greets his Grandmaster!"
After a moment of reflection, Lü Qian respectfully bowed again to the Wudang Sect Leader in front of him and revealed his original seniority.
"Alright, don't be so reserved. I knew you were Zhou Meng's junior, but I didn't expect you to be his great-grand-disciple."
The old Taoist priest stood in front of the offering table and lit three sticks of incense, placing them in the incense burner on the table.
Wisps of smoke curled upwards, like three white ribbons shooting into the void. The surrounding scenery seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed not to have.
"Life is unpredictable. How was your time?"
Lu Qian snapped out of his daze at the changes around him and replied respectfully, "The seas are calm and the rivers are clear, and the world is at peace."
"Okay, okay."
The Wudang sect leader nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face. "You don't need to tell me about the rest of the process. The path is for people to walk. We just need to know the outcome."
"Now that the result looks good, we, the older generation, will have to handle the details."
What are your plans for the future?
"This disciple sets off for the Northeast to become the Xuan Yang Zhenren of this era."
Lu Qian waved his whisk, and three thousand strands of white hair swept across his body before smoothly draping over his arm.
His expression was very calm, as if he were talking about something ordinary: "A dream of wealth and glory is broken by time; right and wrong, truth and falsehood, are determined by people."
"I have come into this world as a dream, and there is no need to concern myself with the truth or falsehood of it. This time, I only wish to follow my heart."
"The Japanese occupied our homeland, killed our compatriots, destroyed our historical records, and stole our cultural heritage..."
"This disciple only desires contentment and does not concern himself with the future!"
The Wudang sect leader seemed to have anticipated this. He sighed and said, "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamed of being Zhuang Zhou. You've truly grasped the essence of it."
"Go, child, Wudang will always be your home."
