"What's interesting?"
"Are you saying that the way I eat is interesting?!"
"I think so too!"
Yunqin could not hear clearly what the black-clothed Taoist said. She was only very proud of her [Fairy Yunqin Diet] and strongly recommended it. The elegant middle-aged Taoist could not stand the girl's eager recommendation of her favorite things, so he had no choice but to say gently and helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't rush me, don't rush me, I'll try it now, I'll try it now."
First try the light and translucent osmanthus cake, which tastes sweet.
Try again the one that looks heavy and substantial, and the sweet taste is elevated to a higher level.
The girl has already brewed the fragrant tea.
So the black-haired Taoist drank the tea, and the sweet feeling made the taste of the tea change. If it were one of his Taoist brothers, he would not like it.
I think tea should be light, how can it be mixed together?
But he liked it very much.
So I praised it: "It's delicious!"
"Hey, isn't it delicious?"
The girl in white and green clothes looked very proud, and then said with regret:
"It's a pity that I came here in a hurry today and only brought osmanthus cake."
"Oh? If it's not osmanthus cake, how else can you eat it?"
"If you are well prepared, you should rinse your mouth with spring water, and then it is best to have peaches cut into thin strips and prepared as preserved fruit."
"It has a chewy texture, and it's best if it has some sourness. Osmanthus cake is sweet and soft, and paired with the preserved fruit, the sourness can relieve the greasiness, while the sweetness can make the preserved fruit taste better. With this combination, you won't get tired of it no matter how you eat it."
The Taoist in black looked at the serious look of the little girl in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "You have a very mixed taste."
The girl sat there hugging her knees, biting into the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said as a matter of course, "It's good to mix it up a bit."
"We should taste more of the various flavors of the world, the sweet and sour, the bitter and the spicy, and we should see more of the various things in the world."
"Wouldn't it be boring to live a bland life like my parents do?"
The Taoist in black raised his eyes slightly and asked with a smile: "What about cultivation?"
Yunqin thought for a moment and replied:
"If you want to practice cultivation, you should also learn about all methods and see as many as possible. This way, your horizons will be broadened."
The Taoist smiled and nodded: "I will learn from all schools of thought and observe the spirits of all living things to create my treasure."
"Your understanding is very good."
Yunqin said: "But I don't like this kind of road."
The Taoist in black asked, "You don't like the road you see? Why?"
The girl answered as a matter of course: "Because I'm too tired."
“The purpose of spiritual practice is to cultivate oneself.”
"If you don't like it, forcing yourself to practice is too tiring. It's better to just follow your heart."
The Taoist asked, "If you follow your heart, aren't you afraid of falling into debauchery and madness?"
Yun Qin replied curiously, "Is that so? Isn't cultivation about cultivating one's nature and life?"
"So, uncle, to cultivate one's nature and destiny, is it to cultivate desires?"
"The human heart is also nature. Is it only desire?"
The Taoist in black chewed it a few times and couldn't help but smile.
"You can tell the difference between indulging in pleasure and being reckless, hahahaha, good, good."
"With a character like yours, the [Eight Tribulations] in the Taoist Xuan Sect probably won't be able to stop you."
"Natural and romantic, very good, but a little stupid."
The girl's eyes widened, and then she retorted, "How dare you call me stupid when you're just lazing around here like this?"
So the Taoist in black laughed even harder.
After laughing and chatting, and tasting all kinds of delicious snacks, Yunqin said: "Uncle, you know so much!"
"Do you want anything else to eat? If my friend brings it to you next time, I'll give it to you."
The Taoist in black smiled and thanked him.
However, he also knew that the young Taoist in the previous breath was Yunqin's good friend. An interesting thought suddenly arose in his mind. Such a kid could comprehend the word "Chi" in Taichi Lingwen, and could reversely deduce a part of the prototype of his method from the word "Chi". Although he only had the direction, he was also an interesting kid.
Maybe it's worth teaching!
Once this thought came to mind, it was out of control.
Reached the highest point strongly.
The Taoist was full of confidence.
Wait till I get out.
And contact with it.
First, he lured them to learn Taoism, then enlightened them with his incarnation, sometimes giving them warnings and sometimes guiding them in their practice.
When you think of this, the world begins to decline.
Forget it, I’m too tired.
The black-haired Taoist was too lazy to let the thought go and just thought about it.
The Taoist priest was full and a little lazy. He liked to take in disciples, but during these long years, he also understood one thing: when taking in disciples, there are only two times when he will be happy.
The first is when accepting apprentices.
The second is to kick out the apprentice so that the boss can have a rest.
Most of the disciples are extremely stupid, with poor comprehension, and teaching is boring. Sometimes when they get angry, they want to pick up their swords and go find their Taoist brothers to chop them for an hour or two to vent their anger. Forget it, forget it. There are 668 Tai Chi Ling Wen, and some of the disciples have learned all of them. This disciple has only learned one.
Somewhat interesting, but not much.
Not worth going out.
He yawned, spread his arms, and lay down on the Tai Chi diagram, supporting his cheek with one hand. He lay on his side and watched the girl looking for something. But then he thought of the Taoist boy's "watching but not taking" look, and finally found it a little interesting, so he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, your osmanthus cake is also thanks to your friend."
"Since I have already 'met him', I should have a gift."
"Gift?"
"Ha, it's just a paragraph, you can give it to him."
Taoist Qingjun laughed, then sat up lazily and narrated:
"There are two methods of cultivation in the world. What are these two methods? One is external, the other is internal."
"External laws can be revealed, but internal laws cannot be revealed."
Yunqin asked curiously, "Can it be shown or not?"
The middle-aged Taoist raised a jade ruyi in his hand and tapped the girl's forehead lightly, causing her to gasp softly, cover her forehead with both hands, and glare at the uncle.
The middle-aged Taoist smiled and said, "Things that can be revealed are those that can be seen by others; things that cannot be revealed are profound and subtle, and only my mind knows them, and only the Great Dao knows them."
"There are two more. What are the two? One is action, the other is inaction."
"If there is a way to act, there is something to be gained; if there is a way to do nothing, there is nothing to be gained."
The girl wondered to herself, "Is it possible or not?"
I just felt that there seemed to be some feeling, but it seemed mysterious and ethereal, and could never be obtained, so I didn't care about it.
As soon as she opened her mouth to ask or interrupt, the Taoist in black raised the jade ruyi in his hand slightly and pretended to hit her.
So the girl became very obedient.
He just sat there hugging his knees, eyes wide open in silent protest.
It's just like a furry kitten that's ready to pounce but has no deterrent power at all.
The handsome Taoist in black lowered his eyes and continued to narrate calmly, still starting in the same way, very casually.
"There are two kinds. How are they called two kinds? One is attainable, the other is unattainable."
As for this point, it was still quite ordinary, but then it suddenly became extremely majestic and magnificent:
"The dharma that can be obtained has a beginning and an end, while the dharma that cannot be obtained has no beginning and an end."
“There is no beginning and no end, there is no action.”
"Since you haven't got it yet, why give it up?"
"Isn't that ridiculous?"
"To take the lowest of the low, one must have a beginning and an end in one's actions, and a way of doing things."
"But those who do not see the higher, have no beginning and no end, the way of inaction."
"Isn't that ridiculous!"
Every word seemed to contain a sense of mystery. The girl listened thoughtfully. When she looked up, she seemed to see the handsome Taoist sitting peacefully on the Tai Chi. His voice was flat and vast, and there seemed to be an infinite sky behind him. When she lowered her eyes, it was as if it was an illusion. The girl seemed to see that behind the handsome Taoist there were actually two other auras, one was a dignified man, and the other was a smiling old man.
Then the Qi became extremely powerful in an instant.
In a daze, in the darkness, the girl was not attached.
But it was as if I saw the gentle old man smiling: "Action or inaction."
But it was as if seeing that solemn man lower his eyes: "Without beginning or end."
For a moment, a sense of vastness and remoteness almost came over her, but in an instant, what she saw was just an illusion, just a picture formed by the movement of Qi. In the blink of an eye, the picture disappeared. A jade ruyi touched the girl's brow. What she saw was just a middle-aged Taoist who was handsome but also a little lazy. He gently touched Yunqin with the jade ruyi in his hand to wake her up, and smiled and said:
"All things, all laws, all principles, all exist in one mind. It is just my one thought. Once I cultivate, I will never give up."
“Learning is an acquired behavior. It is a beginning, but once it is a beginning, it has an end.”
"Having a beginning, an end, and an action, this is the lower level of cultivation."
"To have no beginning, no end, and no action is the highest level. There is no need to learn it, because it is just a little bit of light from my soul."
“Only those who know this section can understand it.”
"Just tell him that."
The girl was stunned for a long time, as if she understood something, and closed her eyes for a long time, while the Taoist in black picked up the tea and drank it slowly.
After a long time, the girl opened her eyes and said, "Uncle."
Taoist Qingjun raised his eyes.
"Um?"
“Can you write it for me?”
"You are talking too much."
“I can’t remember that many.”
The middle-aged Taoist was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and replied with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I'll write it for you."
He thought about the habits and experiences he had gained in teaching his disciples in the past.
This is something I just came up with casually.
That person didn't know how many years it would take for him to gain some understanding, nor how much effort it would take to practice and learn it.
He has a free and easy personality. Although he says it is a gift, he actually has a casual nature. When he sees others looking at it but not taking it, he will say something to him - looking at it but not taking it?
You want to take it, but you don't have the ability to do so.
Little Taoist priest. Although young, he has a big mouth.
I have to hit you.
Then, at the end of this text, he casually wrote the five words [Yu Chen Da Dao Jun].
It is so wonderful that it is beyond words, but others cannot recognize it and cannot even make out these five words.
He casually handed it to Yun Qin in front of him and said with a smile: "Just give it to him."
"Let's see what he has to say."
After that, there was some casual chatting and talking about everything under the sun, but nothing about spiritual practice was mentioned.
Yunqin already had some respect for this senior who dared to slack off in the Shangqing Library. The other party shared a lot of information, such as how to slip away in front of the Shangqing disciples and how to avoid the Shangqing lineage's methods. The information was extremely detailed and rich, and it was obvious that he had a lot of practical experience. So the girl was even more amazed at him.
How many times has this senior avoided being searched by others?
Such lazy work.
It's hardly respectful.
It can be said to be awe-inspiring!
One day, they exchanged pleasantries. The two of them were of similar temperament and had an interesting chat. When the girl left, the black-haired Taoist patted her shoulder. Yun Qin looked back and saw that the handsome Taoist was still smiling: "Remember, remember, don't tell anyone else."
Yunqin nodded in agreement and left immediately.
After she went downstairs, the entire second floor suddenly became dim and there was no door.
There was no light at all, as if it was the deepest part of the universe.
The black-haired Taoist smiled slightly, retracted his gaze, and opened his palm. There was a long hair in his palm, which he had picked from the girl's black hair when he patted Yun Qin's shoulder just now.
But at this moment, the long hair has lost its original black color.
Suddenly it changed, emitting a faint trace of the clear glazed gold color of Buddhism.
The Taoist lowered his eyes and said to himself,
"…Lapis Lazuli Buddha Light?"
"The arms are so long."
As if feeling unprecedented oppression, the rays of Buddha's light seemed to spread and change unpredictably. Among them, there were ten rays of light, which turned into a hundred rays of light, a thousand rays of light, and then into billions of rays of light. All of them were flowing, and each one illuminated one side of the world. Among them were conches and lotus pedestals opening and falling. There were novice monks in the conches, and there was a Buddha above the lotus pedestal. The infinite Buddhas in billions of worlds spoke at the same time.
The Taoist clasped his five fingers together.
Countless worlds were destroyed.
The Taoist priest's sleeves fell down, and he seemed to be thinking:
"I had enough to eat and drink today, but I couldn't sleep because of the noise."
"Otherwise, just go out."
