When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Li Changxiao didn't know how many times he had drunk. Sometimes when two people get excited, they will go to the secular world to have some fun.

But go again one time. But all I saw was a rootless drop of water suspended on the mountain peak.

Li Changxiao shook his head. From then on, he rarely set foot on the mountains and seas. From that day on, he was the only monk in the world.

He sits alone in the world, or feels bored and simply takes a nap. In this sleep, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, meteorites fell, and the Tianji Avenue flourished.

I don’t know how much time passed. He has no idea how deep his cultivation is. Sometimes when I wake up, I walk through the world for a hundred or a thousand years. When I feel tired, I fall asleep again.

So repeatedly…

I don’t know how much time passed. There are many tall buildings. After several changes in the world, everything that was ancient has long since ceased to exist.

Although today's world is not less exciting, it is a world with a high degree of order and trust in "divine secrets".

It is hard to imagine how lush Tianji Road is now. High-rise buildings stand like mountains, and the neon lights are bright all night long.

Only recently, many strange things that cannot be explained by "Tianji" have suddenly appeared.

A scientific expedition team excavated ancient buildings, which were magnificent. Someone picked up a Taoist scripture and tried to practice it. He felt warm in his abdomen and felt a sense of comfort that he had never felt before. Deep in the forest, there is a big tree that produces unique fruits, which have miraculous effects when eaten. It can cure all diseases and rejuvenate people.

Such changes are getting worse and worse, and have reached the point of being out of control.

A long-haired man was walking on the street wearing a long-lasting white robe. His handsome appearance attracted a lot of attention. Behind him, there was a four or five year old boy.

The man said: "Have you remembered everything I told you?" The young man said: "I have remembered it. The spiritual energy has revived and the monks have reappeared. We, the monks, should keep improving and not fall short of the aspirations of our predecessors..." Half of the time, the young man had a lively nature. What came to mind, he immediately asked: "But Master, are you really living a long, long time ago and living until now?"

The man said, "Of course." The young man asked, "But why don't you age?" The man said, "Well, monks don't age. Even if you practice hard, you won't age either."

The man said: "Don't interrupt, there is more." The young man said: "I must imitate the master, follow the master, and finally... surpass the master." The young man said it carefully, especially the four words "beyond the master". He felt disrespectful and thought about the future. If he really surpassed his master, wouldn't he be embarrassed? The man said: "Speak louder." The young man shouted: "We must surpass the master!"

The man was very happy and said: "Yes, you should have this ambition. An apprentice who doesn't want to surpass the master is not a good apprentice."

With a gentle push from the man, the boy staggered, but this staggering step ushered in a new era of monks. The young man overcame thorns and obstacles all the way, and his cultivation gradually deepened. Only when he reached a certain level, recalling the figure of his master, he felt more and more unfathomable. Although he has ambitions to transcend, his manpower will eventually be exhausted. He often thinks that being able to see his back throughout his life is already a great success.

Even the back is out of reach.

The spiritual energy is revived, all dharma is prosperous, and the world is once again prosperous.

Some people are one step ahead, and some people catch up from behind. Deep in the mountains and wilderness, a drop of water without roots and source can show its true spirit again. The sky may fall and the earth may collapse, but the river that has existed since ancient times is restless.

(Complete the book!)

Final words: This book has two million words, and before I knew it, I had been writing it for nearly 500 days. Alas, I could have written more, but then cuts and omissions were made.

Let me mention it here. It was originally planned to have immortality as the main line, and longevity as the dark line, with mythological stories inserted in the middle as darker and more secret lines, such as "Chang'e flies to the moon", "Foolish Old Man moved the mountains", "Jingwei reclaims the sea", "Dayu controls the floods" and "Kuafu chases the sun". "And so on, or write it in the form of a short story, a small plot, or in the form of a main line.

Of course, I am not writing all of this based on real myths. The Changsheng Cave is the story of "Chang'e flying to the moon". The area in Yanjia Village is like "The Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains". Wanxian's reclamation is "Jingwei's reclamation". The giants are like "Kuafu chasing the sun"...similar. But later they were cut to varying degrees, and many stories were simply not written.

There are two reasons. First, my writing power is difficult to control. Second, I am impatient. I found that the tone became tighter as the book progressed toward the end. It is difficult for me to insert short stories and daily routines. As soon as I inserted it, some readers would inevitably say that I was stupid. So over time, I became impatient and changed many of my original arrangements.

There may be a few "eating books", but it is inevitable. Throughout the book, I think it tells each story relatively completely.

As for the endings of Si Nian, Mei Sanniang, Zhang Mo, Su Qingmei, etc., why are they not mentioned in the main text? In fact, as I said before, the tone of the whole text is an issue.

The tone of the later period is a bit heavy and urgent. In this case, I will insert this part of the plot. It may be a bit abrupt to slow down the pace all of a sudden. Also, I left it blank on purpose, so readers can imagine. After all, he has so much time and Li Changxiao is so free. What will happen depends on everyone's understanding.

Finally, I would like to thank my friends for their companionship for more than a year. This book has been tepid from the beginning to the end. I can persist until now only because of the support and perseverance of my friends. Although it ended in a dull way in the end, that was enough. If I have time in the future, I may update some extras.
