"Haha..." Seeing Shui Sanniang's puzzled look, Zhou You couldn't help but laugh: "Is the only meaningful thing to do is to be the innkeeper's wife? Besides, you want to experience the life of a human being and let yourself change with time.

Wouldn't it be more interesting to grow old, experience human birth, aging, illness and death, and live your life as a real human being?"

"Let yourself grow old?" Shui Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou You and said with a smile: "What? Are you still afraid of getting old? You can't even see through it, but you still want to achieve something on the road of cultivation?"

Seeing Shui Sanniang's awkward and unnatural expression, Zhou You couldn't help but thought to himself, it seems that no matter whether it is a human or a fairy, any woman will be afraid of aging!

"Sir, does it have to be like this?" Shui Sanniang couldn't help but asked, while Zhou You asked noncommittally, "Then do you still want to cultivate as an adult?"

"This...actually I don't think so anymore," Shui Sanniang said with a little hesitation and embarrassment: "Is your Lord traveling around the mortal world also for the purpose of cultivation?"

"That's right!" Zhou You nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Although this way of cultivation requires diligent practice, it cannot be done behind closed doors. To practice cultivation, you must both cultivate and practice. Cultivation is cultivation, and practice is travel.

The essence of practicing what you see and increasing your knowledge is to sharpen your Taoist heart. Only with an unswerving Taoist heart can you survive countless calamities and become a true immortal god."

Immortal God? Shui Sanniang, whose eyes became hot after hearing this, couldn't help but sigh and said: "Sir, after meeting you, I truly understand how shallow my knowledge of spiritual practice was before. If I had known you a few hundred years earlier, maybe I would have

Now I have already accomplished something in my practice.”

"Practice, don't be impatient! Opportunities and luck are important, but if you don't have enough accumulation, it will be difficult to grasp the opportunities even if you encounter them," Zhou Youze said: "So, don't think that your past practice is a waste of time. Because you will be in the future

If you want to truly achieve success in cultivation, it may take longer. There is never a real shortcut in cultivation. Many times, the so-called shortcuts actually go astray and often lead to evil paths."

"In this world, nothing is ever easy, and nothing is easy," Zhou You continued: "So from the beginning of cultivation, we should correct our mentality. It will take a long time and endure a lot of hardships but still be successful."

It’s hard to be mentally prepared for big gains and achievements.”

"There is a saying among humans that you cannot eat hot tofu if you are impatient, and there is another saying that success will come naturally. All our hard work and dedication are to one day be able to succeed in cultivation naturally. There is no need to rush," Zhou You said in a profound tone:

"So, you don't have to think about how to please me, just be patient and practice hard. Only when your mind is calm can you practice with twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, sir! Sanniang has remembered it!" Shui Sanniang's expression changed upon hearing this. After she responded respectfully, she stood up and said, "Sanniang will not disturb you, sir, so I will leave first."

After Shui Sanniang left, Zhou You suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof and said, "Since you are here and have been eavesdropping for so long, let's come down and see you!"

As soon as Zhou You finished speaking, he saw a flash of emerald green light on the roof, and then the bamboo demon Zui Zui, surrounded by emerald green light, appeared beside him.

"Thank you for your advice, sir! Listening to your words, Zui Zui was really enlightening and I benefited a lot!" Zui Zui said respectfully to Zhou You as soon as he appeared.

"Really?" Zhou You raised his eyebrows and smiled. Looking at Zui Zui, he said with amusement: "It seems that with the help of Shui Sanniang's Yuan Dan power, you are a blessing in disguise, and your cultivation has improved a lot! You have been practicing for a long time.

Shui Sanniang is much shorter, but she was able to achieve such a level of cultivation in such a short period of time. She is worthy of being a human being."

After saying that, Zhou You couldn't help but smile wider when seeing Zui Zui's expression change: "Why, you're surprised? Do you think I can't see through your origins?"

"Your Excellency, your eyes are as sharp as a torch, and I am in awe of you!" After Zui Zui came to his senses, he couldn't help but say more respectfully. He felt that the unfathomable Zhou You in front of him was becoming more and more unfathomable.

"You are a bamboo demon, but you like to come to Laoshan County where humans live so much. Do you just like the popularity here, or do you think more contact with humans will help your practice?" Zhou You continued meaningfully: "Or, this

Is there anyone you care about in Laoshan County?"

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download huanyuanapp here. 】

"I..." I felt that the wandering eyes seemed to be able to see through my own thoughts, and my face turned slightly intoxicated, as if I was speechless for a moment.

"Although you were born as a human, you are now a bamboo demon after all, but you have fallen in love with a human woman. Don't you know that the union of humans and demons is not tolerated by heaven and is harmful to both yourself and others?" Zhou You continued to ask.

Listening to Zhou You's slightly stern tone, Zui Zui couldn't help but change his face and said: "Sir, I have no feelings for that lady from the Zhong family. It's just that... everyone has the love for beauty. I was confused for a while by Zui.

, that’s why we did something wrong.”

"Is that so? I can't see it, can I?" Zhou Youze said: "I think you are still attached to the world. You saw the son of the county magistrate's family pursuing Miss Zhong, so you became angry, right?"

"Sir... how do you know..." Zai Zui's face changed immediately when he heard this. Zhou You shook his head and said, "Zu Zui, although you don't mean it, you can't prevent Miss Zhong from doing it! This love debt is...

You brought it on yourself, I'm afraid you can't escape. However, this is not a bad thing for you. The world of mortals can refine your mind and help your practice, so just treat it as a disaster on the road to practice!"

"Sir, please advise me, what should I do..." Zaizui couldn't help but say, but before he could finish, Zhou You had already said: "You don't have to ask me! What should I do, ask yourself

Your heart, right? Only your heart can give you the most authentic and correct answer. No matter how good other people’s advice is, it’s just a reference.”

"Okay, you can leave! If Shui Sanniang finds out that you are here, with her temper, you will definitely fight. I don't think you want to use magic means in Laoshan County to let everyone know

You are not an ordinary person, are you?" Zhou You continued: "Moreover, a crazy Taoist has just arrived in Laoshan County. His cultivation is not weak. If you meet him, you will inevitably be in trouble."

"Thank you for reminding me, sir, Zui Zui said goodbye!" Zui Zui hesitated after hearing this, but finally turned around and left with a respectful salute.

As soon as Zui Zui left, Zhou You heard a cold shout from outside: "You bamboo demon, you took my Yuan Dan and you dare to come here? Give me Yuan Dan back!"

"Sanniang, stop!" Sensing the energy fluctuations outside, Zhou You shook his head helplessly, and involuntarily, his figure came to the door and shouted.

"Sir..." Outside in the courtyard, Shui Sanniang was already in tit-for-tat with Zui Zui. The cold aura of the snake demon was revealed. Seeing Zhou You trying to stop him, she couldn't help frowning and looking at him with some dissatisfaction.

After Zhou You waved his hand, and after Zui Zui silently saluted him and left, Shui Sanniang couldn't help but said: "Sir, why did you let him go? This bamboo demon, he..."

"He and you have known each other for a long time, right? Have you ever had any deep grudges? We are both monsters, why should we be so hostile? Besides, it's not like he stole your Yuan Dan. What's more, it's a blessing in disguise.

Knowing is not a blessing! Misfortunes and blessings depend on each other. There are always two sides to everything in the world, so why should you be too obsessed with hatred? Even if you kill him, can your Yuan Dan come back?" Zhou Youlian asked.

Seeing that Shui Sanniang was speechless after hearing the words, Zhou You continued to smile and said: "You, your Taoist heart still needs to be tempered! The heart of gain and loss is so heavy, and you are too resentful, angry, and ignorant.

It’s useless!”
