"When did Taoist priests become so greedy for money? I remember that Taoist priests are supposed to believe that form is emptiness and emptiness is form?"
Mu Xiaoxing looked at the young man in front of him with confusion. This young man was so weird. Did he come prepared? He was so weird that it was hard to describe.
"Good lady, I am neither a Taoist nor a monk. I just like to study these things. The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao... The name that can be named is not the eternal name..."
"Don't give me any big ideas. I don't understand your empty talk."
Mu Xiaoxing held the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand and felt the coolness on her palms. Her heart also calmed down a lot. It seems that this can also relieve stress.
"The meaning of 'The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao' is that the laws of life can be understood. Tao is the law, and name is fame, wealth, or even false reputation."
The young man patiently explained to Mu Xiaoxing that this was a famous saying from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. He liked it very much and could taste its flavor every time.
"I don't understand... and I don't want to understand these things. I don't like these things. You'd better not explain them to me. I'm afraid that I'll make you sick."
Mu Xiaoxing curled her lips and said arrogantly that she couldn't listen to these big principles and she couldn't understand them.
"Alas, the world is going downhill and morals are declining. Do you know how many people outside begged me to speak, but I didn't even take a look. How come when it comes to you, it becomes worthless nonsense." The man sighed and felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect there was such a big difference. He didn't know why the master asked him to follow this girl.
"Take me to find Ye Sanbao. Stop talking nonsense and get more done!" Mu Xiaoxing grabbed the whining boy by the ear and refused to let go. "If you keep nagging, if anything happens to Ye Sanbao, I'll be the first one to drag you to hell."
"Good lady, you are being unreasonable."
The man wanted to be angry but couldn't, so he could only bear it in. If he endured it, everything would be calm. There is cause and effect, and he should bear the consequences of his own actions.
"Yes, I'm just being unreasonable, so what? You can't beat me."
"I just don't want to be petty with such a kind person." The young man smiled and passed it by without being too angry, probably because he had a good temper.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War says... Do not act unless it is advantageous, do not use unless it is necessary, and do not fight unless it is dangerous. A ruler should not raise an army out of anger, and a general should not attack out of anger."
A destroyed country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be resurrected, so everything should be left to nature. Birth, old age, sickness, or accidental death are all part of fate.
"You fake Taoist priest, are you done yet? Take me out of the underground palace to find Ye Sanbao, otherwise, I will pull out your disobedient ears."
"If your ears don't obey, what's the point of keeping them?"
"Good man, please don't be so violent. I'm powerless. If I lose my ears, I'll just have to put a bowl on the ground and play my erhu while the leaves fall."
"A fake Taoist priest who still knows how to beg for food."
The young man took Mu Xiaoxing's arm and walked with Mu Xiaoxing in the underground palace. Suddenly, it became dark around them and they could not see anything.
"Why did it suddenly get dark?"
If the young man hadn't been holding Mu Xiaoxing, Mu Xiaoxing probably wouldn't have dared to walk for fear of falling into the pit.
"It's normal. You've triggered the mechanism in the underground palace. You don't need to worry about it. Don't look back. Hold me tightly and follow me. No matter what sound you hear, don't look back. If you look back, you really can't go back."
The young man warned Mu Xiaoxing repeatedly, fearing that Mu Xiaoxing would look back and that he was not allowed to go to this place a second time.
