The Sutra of Nothingness

Chapter 595 Mr. Lu

"Well, my name is Shangguan Duo, and I'm here to collect the mail!" Shangguan Duo walked forward and said to the man's doubtful eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry, we have to verify the information first. After all, let's not talk about the same name, and we don't know if any of these people died in the battle and were replaced by others!" Shangguan Duo heard this. After answering, he happily took a jade slip and looked at it. Only then did Shangguan Duo realize that he was also a young monk.

"That's what it should be. After all, you are entrusted by others! It's definitely a matter of loyalty. Just ask!" Shangguan Duo replied with some anxiety in his heart. After all, he didn't know the basic information of Shangguan Duo. If the secret was exposed, It’s hard to say.

"Hometown!" the man asked with a frown.

"Uh... Chen Guoshou Yangcheng Yuqing Village?" Shangguan Duo didn't know what address to make up for the moment, so he had to answer honestly.

"Yeah! Age!" As the man asked again, Shangguan Duo froze on the spot as if he was demented.

"Age? Really? How old am I? I'm at least over a hundred years old, right? But how much is a hundred? I don't even know, hahaha, it's so strange that I don't know my age!" Shangguan Duo said to himself somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Are you one hundred and twenty-eight years old? Based on the birthdays she left behind, you are indeed this age, and she left a message. It is impossible for you to know your age. Okay, you have basically passed. I One last question for you, are you married?" Until the last sentence came out of his mouth, Shangguan Duo was completely stunned and at a loss.

"It seems that it is indeed you. She has guessed every expression. Come with me. We can't handle this. Mr. Lu has to deal with it himself." The man looked at Shangguan Duo's expression. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah? I...where are we going?" Shangguan Duo asked doubtfully. At this moment, his mind was already in a state of confusion and he was unable to act independently. He had not been like this for a long time.

It's just that this kind of thing completely shocked his mind. In his mind, when did the little girl who followed him all day know him so well? She had figured out things that she didn't even know about a long time ago.

"You'll know if you come with us!" The man just laughed softly.

The two of them walked slowly through the dense crowd towards a quiet path, where everything seemed so uncontested, with simple thatched huts, deep paths, and a huge mulberry tree.

Everything seems so peaceful and beautiful, as if it is a small world that does not belong to this noisy world.

When Shangguan Duo came here for the first time, he was like a fool who had never seen the world. He enjoyed everything here. This feeling was exactly the same as the last time he saw his master.

"It would be great if I could practice here. It's much better than outside. Each of those people has their own thoughts. Here I feel as if I have nothing to do with the world. What kind of person can I do? Are you practicing here? I'm a little curious!" Just one glance at this place brought Shangguan Duo out of his previous depression, and he secretly wanted to practice.

"Mr. Lu, you have brought your designated guest!" The man walked to the hut and did not dare to go in or knock on the door. He could only lean on the door and whisper.

"Well, please invite the distinguished guests in!" A cold voice sounded from inside. Then, the door of the hut opened gently, and an old man with white hair and a childish face appeared in front of Shangguan Duo.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave first!" The man respectfully accepted the order and retreated, leaving Shangguan Duo quietly in a dilemma.

Seeing Mr. Lu show his face, Shangguan Duo couldn't help but look at him carefully.

"My little friend, I don't look strange, right? Why are you staring at me like this?" Mr. Lu laughed at Shangguan Duo's appearance. He chuckled and looked at Shangguan Duo, who was staring at him in confusion.

"Oh, it's like this. I originally thought that the Post Office was just some kind of organization that deceived people. It happened to have my name, so I just wanted to come and see and do some good things. Then, I originally thought that I was impersonating someone else. Who knew it was really me! I really believed it, and when I walked into this place just now, I felt at ease and contented. I felt that the world was no longer so important. I felt a little bit transcendent and wonderful about nature. I was just wondering what it was like. People are practicing here, and it would be great to practice with him. So I couldn't help but feel a little offended, and please forgive me, Senior Lu!" Shangguan Duo was so embarrassed that he immediately explained.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's human nature to be curious. Children like me were just like you when we first came here! But I don't like others calling me Senior Lu. You should just call me Mr. Lu like those mortals!" Mr. Lu haha Yixiao explained.

"Mr. Lu is really comparable to being an immortal in this world! You are so extraordinary and refined. I had no idea there was someone like you in the world of cultivation. I have traveled all over the world in vain!" Shangguan Duo held his forehead and said with a silly smile.

"My little friend, I am embarrassed. Although my cultivation level is slightly higher, I am just a mortal, and I cannot be relegated to an immortal!" Mr. Lu replied calmly, and the two of them seemed to be chatting. As they started chatting, they completely forgot the purpose of their meeting.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, you have such a high level of cultivation, why do you still care about mortal affairs? Logically speaking, an otherworldly being like you should stay away from the mundane world and seek the way to ascension on an overseas fairy island!" Shangguan Duo asked doubtfully.

"Huh, the higher your cultivation level, the more you return to the true world. Everything comes from the mundane and returns to the mundane. This is true cultivation! The true is the most mortal! I also use some of my lifespan advantages to feed back the world that supports me, so that it can last forever! Mr. Lu answered seriously.

"To the true or even the mortal? Mr. Lu, do you mean that the highest state of cultivation is to become a mortal? Then what is the purpose of our cultivation? Why not just not practice at all?" Shangguan Duo asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha, my little friend's words are indeed a return to nature! What I mean is that when you reach the highest level of cultivation, all your auras are restrained and no different from ordinary people. This is the supreme mortal! Is the way of heaven extraordinary? Then is it? Is it the existence that all us cultivators are chasing? All cultivators hope to transcend the way of heaven, but how to transcend it? Then you have to become it first, and then you can transcend it! What makes the way of heaven stronger than us is that it both exists and seems not to exist. It is both the world and bigger than the world!" Mr. Lu laughed out loud when he heard Shangguan Duo's answer, but there was no sense of ridicule at all, but a sense of affection for the younger generation, and then he began to slowly explain to Shangguan Duo.
