Tang Qing hurriedly replied respectfully: "Reporting to master, it is Li Qianmo. My disciple brought him here."
There was suddenly silence in the hall for a moment, and the old voice sounded again: "Come in." The tone seemed cold, but Li Qianmo could hear the joy in it.
An elder from a sect like Qingmu has a very noble status and naturally has good reputation. If he shows too much enthusiasm towards Li Qianmo, he will lose his worth. That's why the elder Qingmu pretends to be cold and remains silent for a moment before answering.
It also means to show off one's power.
However, Li Qianmo didn't care about this. He was led by Tang Qing and walked into Tianquan Hall with Chu Xingyao. He saw an old man in black robe sitting in the main seat of the hall. The skin on his face was very smooth with few wrinkles. If it weren't for that
With his snow-white beard, no one would think he was an old man.
There was no one else here, so this old man must be Tang Qing's master. Sure enough, when Tang Qing walked into the hall, he immediately bent down and bowed his hands in salute, and said happily: "Master, Li Qianmo brings you here."
"Yes." Elder Aoki waved his hand and said calmly, "You can retreat."
"Yes, Master." Tang Qing completed his task and exited the hall happily, closing the door.
When Li Qianmo saw Tang Qing leaving, he bowed to Elder Qingmu and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Junior Li Qianmo pays homage to Senior Qingmu."
Chu Xingyao also bowed and said: "Junior Chu Xingyao pays homage to senior Qingmu."
Qingmu stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "You two don't need to be polite. I think you, Daoyou Li, was also the Grand Imperial King of Kaiyang Sect back then. When talking about being the same generation as me, I don't deserve to be called senior."
Li Qianmo smiled calmly when he heard this and said: "Senior's words are wrong. In Li's eyes, there is no Great Imperial King. Seniority is only based on seniority and age. If the senior is older, he is naturally the senior below."
Aoki burst out laughing when he heard this, patted his thigh, spread his hands and said, "What a eloquent person. Li Qianmo's name is indeed well-deserved. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, senior, for the seat." Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao thanked me and sat down. Li Qianmo asked, "Senior, I heard from your disciple Tang Qing that you have always wanted to meet me. Do you want to have a discussion with me?
"
"That's right." Qingmu said happily, stroking his palms, "I have heard of your name for a long time. You traveled around various sects in Lian Zhenxing, discussing Taoism with masters of various sects, and rarely met opponents. In fact, I have been studying Taoism. I want to
It's a pity that my talent is dull and I have made no progress in the past three thousand years. Maybe Li Daoyou can solve my confusion today."
Li Qianmo smiled dryly and waved his hands when he heard this: "Senior's words are too flattering to me. I may have some insights into the things of the Tao, but I am far from the point of establishing Taoism and becoming a true king. I'm afraid I can't help my senior."
Qingmu nodded and said: "Actually, I think so too. After all, it is incredibly difficult to become a true king. How can I achieve enlightenment through your enlightenment? This is impossible." He paused here.
He paused and sighed, "But if it were you, staying in the same realm for thousands of years without making any progress, wouldn't you be impatient?"
Li Qianmo was startled when he heard this, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really have never thought about this."
"Alas, you can't understand my feelings." Elder Qingmu sighed, "This kind of anxiety is like a kind of inner demon that I can't control at all. It has been affecting my Taoist cultivation. Now as long as I can have
If I make a little progress, I will be very happy, and this inner demon will be eliminated."
Li Qianmo nodded when he heard this and said: "Senior is right, but when I left Lian Zhenxing, I suddenly had some different views on Tao and decided not to discuss Tao again."
"Ah!" Aoki stared and exclaimed, "Why are you doing this?"
Li Qianmo smiled indifferently, spread his hands and said, "Let me ask you, what is Tao?"
Aoki was startled when he heard this, frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and replied: "Tao is the foundation of all things and the law of the world. Nothing can violate its rules or deviate from its orbit."
Li Qianmo smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Senior, I have discussed Taoism with nearly a thousand masters. Every time I ask this question, more than 8,000 of them have answers similar to yours, senior."
"Isn't it wrong?" Aoki frowned.
"Of course." Li Qianmo chuckled lightly, then changed his tone and said, "It's just that after listening to your answer, I still don't know what Tao is, because your answer didn't tell me what Tao is."
Hearing this, Qingmu was stunned as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. He frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and said: "How can you explain something like Tao clearly?"
"Bah!" Li Qianmo suddenly clapped his hands when he heard this, and laughed loudly, "Senior is finally right, Tao is a thing that is mysterious and mysterious. You say it exists, but you can't see it or touch it. You say
It does not exist, yet it controls the laws of all things, neither increasing nor decreasing, and filling every corner of the world."
Aoki was slightly startled when he heard the words, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "According to what fellow Taoists said, the 'Tao' is an illusory thing whose Tao is unclear?"
"Exactly!" Li Qianmo nodded suddenly, as if there was a divine light flowing in his eyes, and said with a sparkling look, "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The Tao cannot be said. The reason why we can say it is because what we are talking about is not the Tao.
, but the appearance of the Tao. Only by perceiving it with your heart can you find the location of the Tao. Therefore, I have decided not to discuss the Tao in the future, because no matter how much I discuss it, it will only be superficial and have no profound effect."
Hearing this, Qingmu looked at Li Qianmo dumbfounded, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had been looking forward to discussing Taoism with Li Qianmo, and even speculated about the content of the discussion. However, he did not expect that after Li Qianmo came, he said something shocking,
It was completely beyond his expectation, and he couldn't argue with every sentence, it was very reasonable.
After Qingmu was stunned for a long time, he bowed deeply to Li Qianmo and said: "Actually, I have always thought that when it comes to the depth of enlightenment in this Tianquan Star, Zhenjun Patriarch ranks first, and I must be second. Today I have a meeting with fellow Taoist Li
Suddenly, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. It is ridiculous that I have been a frog in the well for these thousands of years. I am convinced that I have lost."
"Senior's words are serious." Li Qianmo hurriedly spread his hands and said, "I didn't discuss matters with senior, I just chatted a few words. How can I say winner or loser?"
Aoki was stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter and said repeatedly: "Okay, there is no winning or losing, there is no winning or losing."
Li Qianmo also laughed and echoed. Chu Xingyao watched the two laughing from the side, feeling quite puzzled. However, she wanted to play the role of a "good wife" at the moment. No matter how curious she was, she had to endure it until she left.
Ask again here.
Qingmu admired Li Qianmo since he had a conversation with him and insisted on letting him stay in Tianquan Sect for a few more days. Li Qianmo rushed to Yinlong Sect in a hurry and could only refuse. Who knows that Qingmu's enthusiasm is hard to resist, and Li Qianmo
Helpless, he and Chu Xingyao could only stay in Tianquan Sect for another three days before bidding farewell to Qingmu and heading to Hidden Dragon Sect.
The two flew for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the Hidden Dragon Sect. They saw mountains towering in front of them, like a huge forest, and those peaks were the trees in the forest.
Flying above the mountains, Li Qianmo used the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique to see through the clouds below, and was stunned. Seeing his sudden change in expression, Chu Xingyao asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
Li Qianmo came to his senses when she asked, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, the Hidden Dragon Sect is down there, let's go down." After that, he rushed down first.
Chu Xingyao hurriedly followed, and soon broke through the clouds, and immediately saw the scenery below clearly. When she saw this scenery, she was also stunned. Now she finally understood why Li Qianmo's expression suddenly changed just now
Because there is a valley below, and this valley is where the Hidden Dragon Sect is. This is not surprising at first, but the layout and scenery in the valley are exactly the same as Xiaoyao Valley. Seeing this valley, they can't help but remind them of
How could they not be shocked when they left their hometown?
The two of them soon arrived at the top of the Yinlong Sect's mountain-protecting formation. The Yinlong Sect also discovered the two of them. Immediately, a middle-aged monk with a Chinese character flew out and stood in the formation, shouting questions.
: "Who are you two, and why do you want to come to our Hidden Dragon Valley?"
Li Qianmo can be said to be the descendant of Taoist Yinlong. The Yinlong Sect has the same origin as him. It is so rare to encounter a sect with the same origin in this foreign starry sky. Looking at the middle-aged monk in front of him,
Li Qianmo was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that they didn't answer, the middle-aged monk suddenly felt displeased. He frowned and asked again. Li Qianmo then forcibly suppressed his excitement, raised his hands and saluted the middle-aged monk, and said, "I'm Li Qianmo, come to Yinlong Sect to worship the mountain."
.”
"Are you Li Qianmo?" The middle-aged monk was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Are you really Li Qianmo, the Great Imperial King Li Qianmo back then?"
Li Qianmo smiled lightly and said: "The Great Emperor is already a thing of the past, so it's okay not to mention it."
"Ha, you are Li Qianmo, you are really Li Qianmo." The middle-aged monk was very happy when he heard this, and shouted excitedly as if he had obtained some rare treasure, "I finally saw a living person today..."
When Chu Xingyao heard this, he was immediately amused and laughed, while Li Qianmo looked a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged monk was excited for a long time, and then he remembered the business and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, you two, I forgot to invite you in." After that, he quickly opened the sect-protecting formation and let the two of them in.
After they came in, the middle-aged monk announced his name as Yu Zhantian, one of the two elders of the Yinlong Sect. He heard that the other elder was named Shang He, and that their leader, the big name, was in hiding.
Yu Zhantian took the two of them to see the leader, and chatted a lot with Li Qianmo along the way, and Li Qianmo also had a general understanding of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Sanxingyue Tower. Just like Xiaoyao Valley, there are three peaks that go straight up and down, like three stone pillars. The top of the tallest mountain is the leader's residence. In Xiaoyao Valley, it is called Huiyue.
The palace, and here, is called "Wangxing Palace".
