The Mortal World Does Not Seek Immortality

People in the world seek immortality, and there are countless ways to do it. Some worship the mountain gate, some hide in the forest, some make a sand cauldron, or breathe in the sun and moon. Different paths lead to the same destination - eternal life and long-term vision, carefree and free from all things. Shen Zhe was one of them. He practiced cultivation and became an immortal. Only after it was completed did I realize that mountains are still mountains and water is still water. Those things that we fight over and over again are nothing more than a handful of dirt in the end. Tired. So in this life, he became a collector, carrying a bookcase and pen and ink, traveling across mountains and rivers, wandering around the streets, listening to people talking about ghosts, recording some anecdotes, compiling them into a booklet, and selling them to bookstores in exchange for a few pennies of wine money. Someone asked him, Mr. Shen has traveled all over the country and has seen a lot. Which path of immortality is the most true? He put down the bowl and spoke slowly: "The corpse was decomposed into an immortal, and the clothes and hats were left in the tomb. The soul has entered Kunlun." "Obsession builds the way, hates to the extreme, but one thought turns out to be true." "If you are too deeply possessed by the devil, the devil's mind will turn into the Taoist mind, only in a fleeting thought." "There are thousands of ways to achieve enlightenment. I don't know the true path you are asking about." Others asked again, what about you? Which path did you take? "Me? Let's go if there is a way." "When you see a mountain, walk the mountain. When you see the water, walk the water. When you see someone burning paper, you burn two sheets too. When you see someone worshiping God, you kowtow accordingly." "If there is a road, walk; if there is no road, rest." "Walking, walking, and stopping, we are now here."
