Chapter 65: The Evil is Hard to Eradicate

"Master? Why are there nine of these three disasters?"

Guo Shan asked inappropriately, and Chu Tai chuckled when he heard it.

"The three disasters he mentioned here are not the wind, fire, and thunder disasters that we usually talk about, but the three disasters of heaven, earth, and man."

“Human disasters are the many hardships that people have to face in life. War refers to disputes, plague includes illness, and famine refers to the lack of external resources.”

"Geological disasters are issues related to the foundation of one's existence and cultivation. The fire in the fire refers to the heart fire, which you can also understand as the heart running wild and out of control. The boiling water is the kidney water, which means the essence is wandering and the mind is scattered, and there is no stability. The wind in the wind refers to the acquired weather. Wind dispersion means qi dispersion, and qi dispersion also hurts the mind."

"The last natural disaster is even simpler, it is the change of burden in the dark. The devil test is mostly the test of the ancestors in Daluo Heaven, which most people want but don't have. The thunder tribulation is the thunder disaster in the popular sense, and the last burning certificate refers to the need to repay the vitality of heaven and earth consumed in the process of cultivation."

After Chu Tai explained the three disasters, he explained the nine difficulties to Guo Shan.

"The nine difficulties do not appear one by one. Most of them are accompanied by each other and will not appear alone. Just like the second difficulty of heavy karma and invitation from elders usually appears together with the third difficulty of affection and fire courtyard. If there is wealth in the family, it is often accompanied by the fourth difficulty of constant delusion and fame and fortune..."

"Therefore, practicing in the world is never an easy thing. Just like that kid, hehe..."

When Chu Tai said the word "boy", he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he continued to explain: "If you hadn't helped him today, his family would have fallen into poverty. Now it's time for Daoist Fellow Dachun to enlighten him and guide him into the Dao."

"But isn't this harmful?"

Guo Shan's face was full of displeasure, and he looked at Taoist Dachun beside him with a bad expression.

"I think so too. He is at the right age now. Why should he go through all this?"

After saying that, Chu Tai saw that Guo Shan was still a little unhappy, so he added two more sentences: "Don't blame Fellow Daoist Dachun. Although his cultivation is good, his cultivation method is limited. The other party deliberately concealed the witchcraft, so it is really hard to see. As for him saying that I did things unkindly."

"It should be because the boy had a relationship with Daoist Fellow Dachun in his previous life."

When saying this, Chu Tai looked at Taoist Dachun, only to see that the Taoist had a slightly nostalgic look on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a keen eye. His previous life was my mentor, Taoist Jiuhe. The relationship between him and I is a little complicated. I saved him, and he saved me, but it was only a hundred years ago..."

Taoist Dachun looked into the void with some emotion.

"When the two days collided, my master happened to be in seclusion practicing Qi. His true Qi reversed and he had to reincarnate early. At that time, I had not yet fully awakened to my past life, and my cultivation progress was slow. When I recalled it, my master's reincarnation had already died of depression. And in these many reincarnations, I did not polish my vitality, which caused my roots in this life to regress."

"So, you wanted to guide him to enter Taoism early in this life, and use his youthful vigor and character to break the old age left over from his previous life?"

Faced with Chu Tai's simple summary, Taoist Dachun did not refute, but simply expressed his concerns.

"The last of the nine difficulties is that time is limited and time is wasted. The complete meaning of the text is: When a man loses years in his body, he loses months in the year, he loses days in the month, and he loses time in the day. When he is young, he never forgets fame and wealth, and when he is old, he always thinks about his children and grandchildren... Time is wasted, which is one of the nine difficulties."

"Although it is easy for young people to be impetuous and restless, if they can be tempered in the world for a dozen years and hone their skills, it will naturally be easier to practice. But..."

Seeing the worried look on Taoist Dachun's face, Chu Tai continued his words. "How can it be possible that more than ten years of experience and training can only bring benefits? Not to mention that human ethics are the most wearying, even if you think about the more than ten years of training, your mind may seem to have become more mature, but if you think about it carefully, you have lost the youthful spirit and the drive to make progress. Your future achievements may not be high."

"That's exactly the truth. The subtlety of this is really hard to describe. I originally thought that I should just let it go. Now I feel that what you did before was not right, but when I think about it carefully..."

Taoist Dachun said, bowing to Chu Tai and apologizing: "What you did was just letting things take their own course. It was I who was prejudiced and spoke nonsense. Not only did you not take it seriously, but you gave me advice. That's what a true cultivator does."

"You are too kind to say this, fellow Daoist."

Chu Tai retorted with a smile, and then asked about the pool in the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Dachun sighed again. In the face of Chu Tai's puzzled expression, he told him all the changes that had happened.

"I originally thought that the pool was just a Yin-accumulating pool built by outsiders to hold Yin Qi, death Qi, and corpse Qi, so I found 108 young and strong men to stand around the pool, using the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil to attract the Gang Qi and release the Yin evil."

"But for some reason, the evil energy in the pool still exists. Even if it is broken today, it will recover tomorrow and even be three times stronger than today. The most important thing is that I can't find the source of the corpse energy."

While speaking, Taoist Dachun also drew out the formation he had set up, and Chu Tai took a look.

"This method is in accordance with the rules, there is no problem. Such a change can only happen if there is a problem inside the pool. Can you send someone to check inside the pool?"

"Of course, we asked people to go into the water to check, but there was nothing wrong under the water. So I suspect that the water was filled with negative energy, which caused the people who went in to have hallucinations."

Taoist Dachun said, looking at Guo Shan beside him, "I came to see Taoist friend this time, and I also want Taoist friend Guo Shan to go down and take a look. He has cultivated the grave qi of moving corpses and piling up earth, so he is not afraid of the bewitching yin qi, and can also detect the source of the corpse qi and death qi inside."

Hearing this, Guo Shan nodded in agreement, saying that it was a good thing that he could help.

“That’s really great.”

Taoist Dachun showed his delight and asked Guo Shan when he was free.

Guo Shan glanced at the jar in his arms and said, "After I help this child to be liberated, I will go with you to see it."

Taoist Dachun naturally would not refuse. He said he would go prepare things first and then quickly walked out.

Chu Tai looked at Guo Shan and frowned slightly. He wanted to tell the other party that he didn't need to agree so quickly, but he felt that this was Guo Shan's character, so he didn't say much.

He just taught Guo Shan some new spells, helped him draw a few protective talismans, lent him the golden beads in his hand when Guo Shan followed Taoist Dachun away, and then continued to read the book in his hand.

Speaking of which, the young man admired Chu Tai even more because of Guo Shan's help, and his family elders were not so opposed to the young man's pursuit of immortality because of Guo Shan's previous performance. The ancient books sent to him in the past few days have become increasingly rare.

After knowing that Chu Tai's interests were not limited to Taoist scriptures, the scope of the books sent to him became increasingly broad. The contents of some ancient books on calligraphy and painting also touched Chu Tai deeply.
