Holding the Tao for Eternity

Under the moonlight, the immortal asked the boy. "To ascend to the imperial court and become prime minister, to make achievements, to open up new territories, to leave a name in history, are these ambitions what you want?" "A life span of a hundred years, a golden palace with withered bones, a half-cup of turbid wine, and yellow mud in the tomb. Do you accept this ending?" "No! I don't accept it!" Heaven and earth have not heard of the Tao for eternity. Human beings are like earthworms, living and dying day and night. Like the moon hanging in the sky, reflected in the water. When I ascend to immortality and look back at the mortal world, all my old friends are gone like water. Jiang Yi clasped his hands in the sky and chanted: I have a fairy heart, which has been locked up by the toil of the world for a long time. Today the darkness is exhausted and the light shines through thousands of mountains and rivers.
