"Suppose we see demons killing the world, destroying all living beings, mourning and leaving, and all the people crying, what should we do?"
"We should enter the world to ward off disasters, kill demons, and save all living beings from water and fire."
"Wrong."
"——We should watch the fire from the other side and keep our own profits and losses. This is the way of being an immortal and the way of heaven and man."
That year, Master said that my Taoist heart was not firm and my worldly ties were difficult to break, so he chased me down to Yunshan Mountain. Since then, I have traveled around the world and seen injustices in all directions, and I have been trapped in the rolling world of mortals.
I have gained immortality because of the immortal way. I send my gray hair to death and welcome new people to life.
The ancestral teachings of my master say that I live in this earthly world for only ten thousand years.
But I can't figure out this immortal way. Being under the fairy mountain, my heart is like a boat in the sea of suffering. As the years come and go, I say goodbye.
I pity the dead trees at dusk and miss the spring.
