Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at the old monk and asked: "Master, what you are saying is that this disciple is going to survive the disaster that only a saint would have in the five realms? Do you want to treat me like this?"

Looking up at the blue sky, Li Xiuyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

In my heart, I haven't even found the threshold to become a mortal, but because the heavenly path in the five realms has been repaired a little, I have to survive the tribulation of a saint here.

If you tell me this, who will believe it?

The old Taoist priest lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. He couldn't find the right words to explain to his disciple. After thinking for a long time, he moved the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"Forget it, those two little girls in Xinghua Valley have been having a lot of trouble these days. After a few days as master, I will bring them to accompany you on your last journey."

The old Taoist priest looked at Li Xiuyuan's unwilling look and smiled calmly: "This is a hardship for you, but it is also a good thing. If you want to become a saint, you will not be able to escape this catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master, you are just watching the fun and don't take it too seriously. How long has it been and you still want to take them back to this world?"

Whether it is Mu Mu or Nangong Ruyu, if only one of them comes, it will be troublesome. This is good, because the old Taoist priest will bring them both to Tianshan Mountain at once.

Is this because he wants the two girls to watch his joke?

The old Taoist priest burst out laughing when he heard this. He pointed to the mountain peak opposite and said, "You have turned this valley into your paradise, and it must also become your burial place."

"If you don't believe me, you can try using all your strength to see if you can return to the mountain peak where you practiced? See if you can return to Fengyun City at the foot of the mountain..."

Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this, then he lowered his head and looked at his current appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then I remembered that over the years, either Agui or Bruce Lee had brought many daily necessities up the mountain for me.

Everything is just like what the old Taoist said. He turned this place into a paradise and chose for himself the final place of nirvana.

He is currently in the sixth reincarnation of Phoenix Nirvana. If he does it again, he will truly be considered a legend in the world.

It's just that this time's Nirvana is different from every one of his.

If his guess is correct, this time he will face the destruction of the phaseless golden body, the catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man, and the catastrophe of the Phoenix's Nirvana.

Even if he accidentally survives it, he may not be able to face the final catastrophe.

Is it possible that he really wants to bury his bones here?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help looking up at the old Taoist priest and asked: "Master, is it possible that this disciple wants to bury his bones in Tianshan Mountain?"

The old Taoist priest stayed for a long time without replying. I don't know how long it took before he slowly replied: "You are also a disciple of Buddhism. Didn't you realize the principle of living toward death while urinating in the big Buddhist temple at the foot of the mountain?"

The old Taoist priest's words brought Li Xiuyuan back to his youthful and frivolous youth. For a moment, he thought of Luoxia Mountain from Wushan. It turned out that he really couldn't go back.

After thinking about it for a while, he laughed lightly: "That's all because my young disciple doesn't know what it's like to be sad. I just swept the floor in Prajna Temple for a few years, and then went to Qianfo Temple to preach to the monks, which made Master laugh."

Thinking about the scene in Thousand Buddha Temple, and later going to Xuefeng Mountain to meet the old monk who was his master, the holy monk, Li Xiuyuan felt that he was really young and frivolous back then.

He dared to talk about demons, Buddhas and Tao for all the Buddhas. If it were now, he would probably be beaten to death and wouldn't say it out loud.

The old Taoist priest smiled when he heard this and burst into laughter: "You dare to say it, they dare to say it. If the Buddhas respond, it makes sense."

"It's good to be young. You dare to do things that others in the world don't dare to do. You dare to say things that a bunch of monks want to ask but don't understand. You'd better leave this truth to the old monk someday."

Thinking of the old monk in southern Xinjiang, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but push aside the clouds to reveal southern Xinjiang. He looked at the old monk in the city lord's palace and laughed.

"I said, monk, when will you come back after the incident in southern Xinjiang?"

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and the old Taoist priest wants to have a drink with him, not to mention that there is no shortage of wine in Tianshan.

The old monk who was sitting in the living room making tea was stunned, looked into the void and smiled lightly: "I said, it was just a divine light that scared you so much that you came running?"

In the old monk's view, even if the sky of the Five Domains collapsed, the old Taoist would not even frown.

The only possibility is that Li Xiuyuan, who was cultivating on Tianshan Mountain, encountered trouble, which made him, a master, unable to help himself and come there in person.

Thinking of this, the old monk couldn't help but ask: "Is your disciple in trouble?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and smiled lightly: "He has to walk the path of Xiuyuan by himself. Even if he encounters trouble, he has to face it alone. I'm just here to remind him of the difficulties he has to face."

The old monk thought for a moment and said, "I'm going back to the town in a few days. Come back to see me next time and bring a jar of the spiritual wine brewed from Tianshan Mountain."

The old monk frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Besides that female doll, what else in this world is worthy of your attention?"

"My disciple... I don't need to worry about her for the time being, but the young monk in the temple needs my help, otherwise he will have to practice hard for many years and months."

When he thought of Minghui, who was walking between enlightenment and confusion, the old monk couldn't help but sigh.

After all, that small temple was built by Li Xiuyuan for himself, and Minghui was practicing there now... In his opinion, he had to help that guy step into the threshold of mortal transformation.

As for the path after becoming a mortal, that is Minghui's own business.

Now that the Heavenly Dao of the Five Realms has been restored a little, maybe that guy can sense more of the power of Heaven and Earth, and the laws of the Great Dao are there.

Whether he can become enlightened or not, and whether he can achieve enlightenment after enlightenment, are no longer matters for him to consider.

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he glanced at Li Xiuyuan and moved the corner of his mouth slightly, but what he said was about the five declines of heaven and man.

After hearing this, the old monk thought for a while, shook his head gently and said, "Minghui practices Buddhism. I don't know at the moment whether I want to go through the tribulations."

"But after listening to what you said, it seems that I have to tell him these principles in advance when I go back...even though he is not my disciple yet."

The compassionate old monk naturally didn't want to see Minghui lose his way because of the decline of heaven and man.

It is estimated that by the time Ming Hui passed through the five tribulations of heaven and man, Li Xiuyuan on Tianshan Mountain would have either fallen into an endless sleep or had already left this world.

The difference from before is that after becoming a mortal, Li Xiuyuan will not be able to return to this world again as long as he does not enter the holy realm for a day.

After much deliberation, this cause and effect can only fall on myself.

The old Taoist priest nodded and replied quietly: "I guess autumn or winter will come again, and then I will go to that town to meet you for a drink."

The old monk smiled and said: "Bring more wine and tell Li Xiuyuan to be willing to bear it."

Li Xiuyuan on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Senior, I brewed this wine. It doesn't seem to have much to do with whether you want to give it up or not, right?"

The old monk laughed, pointed to the door and said, "Your precious disciple is enjoying the blessings from heaven outside the door. Do you want me to call her in?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his heart suddenly shook. After thinking about it, he shook his head and replied: "Go ahead and stop thinking about it. As long as she is healthy and happy, it will be fine."

The old monk was startled when he heard the words, then he clapped his hands and praised: "It's a good idea to recite it, stop reciting it, if you don't want to let it go, how can you recite it?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and replied leisurely: "Wine and water, I will give them to the master and let him bring them to the seniors."

"It's the old man who drinks wine and drinks water. This is the first time I've heard this. Li Xiuyuan, you are very good. I admire you."

The old monk smiled and said: "It is not easy to transform into a mortal, not to mention that you have to face the five declines of heaven and man. I am optimistic about you."

The old Taoist priest shook his head, waved his hand, and the clouds in the sky slowly closed. The old monk disappeared from the eyes of the two people, leaving only Li Xiuyuan looking at the sky.

Needless to say, the old Taoist priest also knew that this guy was thinking about the Yelu Pearl who was following the old monk.

But since Li Xiuyuan wants to recite it, his master will not mention it again.

What his precious disciple needs right now is meditation. Everything in the world has little connection with him anymore.

The fate owed in the five realms, whether it is debt or resentment, has been repaid by my disciple.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiuyuan got up and went to the house to get a jar of wine, slapped it away, poured a glass for the old Taoist priest, and holding half of the glass in his own hands, he said to the sky: "Here you go."

He needs to remember all the things in the past, otherwise it will be difficult to transform into the mortal world. Li Xiuyuan naturally understands this truth.

Wu Xin was able to turn into a mortal in Kangchuan City because he was simple-minded, and Li Xiuyuan cooked a bowl of soul-forgetting soup that completely severed his relationship with Sansheng III.

If it were me, I would be thinking about it and worrying about everyone in the world.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan looked at the old Taoist priest and said with a smile: "Master, please tell me what the five declines of heaven and man are."

The old Taoist priest didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to say let go, so he let it go. Although he felt a little heartbroken, he had to feel happy for him.

Without wisdom, I am afraid that I will never be able to enter the realm of mortal transformation.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Feeling the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but praise: "Is this the last wine you brewed before you became mortal?"

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "That's almost it. If next spring, I can still go to the mountains to pick flowers..."

What he wanted to say was that if he could still pick flowers next year, he would probably brew a few more tanks of mortal wine.

This kind of wine is probably unique in the world, right?

The old Taoist priest sighed softly, stroking his palms and said: "Actually, you don't need to be so afraid. What you have to go through this time should be the five declining phases of heaven and man."

"The small five signs of decline? What does this mean? Is it possible that there are also the big five signs of decline?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the old Taoist priest with a puzzled look on his face.

"If there are five minor signs of decline, they will naturally be in the big five signs of decline. Please listen to my teacher explain it to you in detail. This is why I told you at the beginning that your practice begins when you step into the realm of mortal transformation."

The old Taoist priest took a sip of Xinghua Spirit Wine, looked at the surging glacier in front of him, and said quietly.

What are the five small signs of decline? They are the following five signs:

One phase: The sound of music cannot be heard, which means that the music of the heavens will sing without drums. When the sign of decay appears, its sound will naturally disappear.

Two phases: The body's light suddenly disappears, which means that the body's light of the gods is bright and clear day and night. When the declining phase appears, the light does not appear.

Three phases: The body is covered with bathing water, which means that the skin of the gods is as beautiful as a lotus flower and is not stained by water. However, when the decay phase occurs, the body is covered with bathing water and does not dry out.

The four characteristics: clinging to the situation and not letting go, it means that the desire state of all the gods is extraordinary, naturally there is no attachment, and when the sign of decline appears, they will not let go.

Five phases: The number of eyes is blinking, which means that the eyes of all heavens are unobstructed and can observe the universe. When the decaying phase appears, the number of eyes is blinking.

Although the above five minor signs of decline have appeared, if there are extraordinary good roots, there is still a chance to turn the bad things into good fortune...

The old Taoist priest looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was frowning tightly, and continued: "All living beings are prone to be ordinary, happy, I, pure reverse thinking, once you come to the realm of the five declines of heaven and human beings, it is rare for them not to be angry, so it is difficult not to be angry.

He has fallen into the evil realm."

What Li Xiuyuan was thinking about at this time was not the five degenerations of heaven and man mentioned by his master, but the encounter he had had on the Styx River thousands of miles away in the Shenlong Continent.

If the Thousand Miles of River Styx has washed away one's annual rings, how can there be any saying about the five declines of heaven and man?

The old Taoist looked at Li Xiuyuan who was silent, put down his wine glass, and couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, what unhappy things did you think of?"

With a sigh, Li Xiuyuan poured the spiritual wine for his master, looked at the white clouds floating slowly in the sky, and thought of Xiao Hei who was sleeping at his feet.

"Master, I think of my encounter on the river of Styx thousands of miles away."
