Liu Li's eyes were far away, as if he was recalling thousands of past events. The complex emotions in his eyes were all blocked by his sunglasses. After hearing Song Sanyue's question, he looked out the French window of the cafe and did not answer immediately.
The main thing is that he hasn't compiled it yet.
Liu Li sighed long and asked instead of answering: "Miss Song, what do you think is Tao?"
Song March said: "I am very interested in the concept of 'Tao' in your country, but I don't know much about it. In some Western mystical schools, it is mentioned that if people want to get close to God, they must follow the path shown by God. Every section There are seven religious steps on the road. Only by stepping on all the religious steps can you take a path closer to God. I think, whether in the East or the West, the laws of physics are the same, and other laws should be the same. That path is the Tao, right? .”
Liu Li listened to her talk a lot, and suddenly had a feeling that when she said this, she was observing herself, as if she wanted to see something from herself?
Liu Li said hoarsely: "Then have you embarked on the long step to ascend to the gods?"
Song Sanyue said seriously: "The greatest among the angels was expelled from heaven because he elevated himself and wanted to be like God; the first man was expelled from the Garden of Eden because he wanted to be like God. I am talking about the way to approach God. , rather than usurping God’s authority.”
"Of course I have not stepped into the occult. As you can see, I am just a hobbyist."
Do you want to say this to the evil spirit under your skirt? Liu Li complained in his heart, but pretended to be depressed on the surface: "Then do you think I have set foot on the road?"
"I don't know." Song Sanyue said with a smile: "If you set foot on it, I would like to worship you as my teacher. Although I believe in God, I don't actually believe that mortals have any way to obtain supernatural power."
Liu Li whispered: "Then do you understand, the way you know that the steps are right in front of you, but no matter how you look at them, the steps are like the moon in the mirror, flowers in the water, like various layers of thick fog, how about Doesn’t it feel like you can’t see clearly?”
Liu Li lowered his head, tried his best to endure the pain, lowered his voice and said hoarsely:
"When you see others walking on a bright and smooth road, they are extremely dazzling. But the more dazzling they are, the more it reflects your ordinaryness. No matter how hard you try, all you get is the gap after failure. You don't even get the best results no matter how hard you try. You know, do you understand this feeling?"
"I said I was a Taoist practicing Taoism at home, but I was just lying to myself. I know that I have no talent and no future at all. I am just a small member of the mortal world, not a genius with outstanding talents."
"I go to Dongxu Monastery regularly, just to meet my master, and I have something in mind. This time I went to visit, and my master even said a few words to me and encouraged me."
Liu Li secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he often played games similar to script killing with his friends on the Internet. His ability to write ghost stories had not declined at all.
The key to this long paragraph is that Liu Li warned Song Sanyue that there was a master behind her, telling her that the evil spirits under her were killed by his master. The master may have noticed you, and you will die if you don't run away. Okay, go wherever you go, don't forget to settle the translation fee.
Song Sanyue asked: "Have you ever talked to Master about our Taoist scriptures?"
"Of course we have talked." Liu Li said: "I told him that I was translating a strange Taoist scripture, but I did not talk to him about the details in the Taoist scripture. After all, according to the contract, I cannot disclose it."
"But I asked for some key terms, which I think will be helpful in translating the Taoist Scriptures."
Song Sanyue's eyes lit up and she listened expectantly.
Liu Li smiled and said: "This time I will send you the revised translation based on his suggestions. The main thing I asked for advice was the content of the Xuandian chapter. When I started translating, it was also the Xuandian chapter."
"I think the most critical thing about a Taoist scripture is how to interpret it and understand the Taoist rhyme and meaning. The Taoist scriptures written by the ancients are so great. Every sentence, even every word, has a unique interpretation method. Look at my new translation and listen to me slowly."
"The elephant is invisible, the sound is loud, and the great road is naturally not something that can be written down in books and words. Our Taoist cultivation method is very different from Western mysticism. Just like the ancient Chinese painters pursued freehand brushwork and spiritual resemblance more than realism and The shape is similar, so the key to the Xuandian is not to study and understand the meaning of the words, which will make you fall into the inferior position, but to go beyond them, to understand the inner spirit and will, and to think about what the predecessors who left the words thought. of……"
Liu Li was talking nonsense, and what he said was clear-cut. Even he himself was a little worried. What he said was the real essence of the Xuandian Chapter of "The Book of Slaughter", right?
Song Sanyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Later, Liu Li showed Song Sanyue the messy version he had compiled, using his years of experience in reading novels and the private translation he had added in his head. Every change he made was clearly explained.
If there are no problems with practicing this way, then Liu Li thinks he can start a sect.
When the sermon was almost finished, the sky was already dark, and Song Sanyue was still a little unfinished, so he persuaded him: "Teacher Liu, why don't you continue preaching at my residence?"
"No." Liu Li was a very upright gentleman, and he said: "After that, when you have successfully practiced the Xuandian chapter and have your own understanding of the Taoist scriptures, you can discuss it with me again. If you encounter problems now, don't think that it is my translation. It’s about thinking more and trusting your heart.”
"After all, the process of seeking the Tao itself is also seeking the Tao."
Song Sanyue said in admiration: "Teacher Liu, you are really a great talent."
Liu Li was about to say goodbye and leave, when suddenly his mind moved.
Under Xuan Guang's observation, the red thread on Song Sanyue's necklace was slightly changing direction!
Liu Li kept his body posture unchanged, followed the red line with the corner of his eye, and looked over.
The red line passes through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop and is connected to a person!
He has short light blond hair, green eyes, a high and narrow nose bridge, and is wearing a neatly pressed black suit. His eyes are carefully observing Liu Li, and the red thread is connected to his little finger!
Liu Li's pupils suddenly narrowed.
Liu Li made no big moves to show off.
He suddenly realized something, that is, compared with others, Song Yueyue exuded the least emotional light in front of him. She showed almost no emotional light. Before, Liu Li thought it was because of her extremely high psychological quality. He is good at hiding his emotions. Now seeing this scene, he recalled that when he was chatting with her before, she would often be stunned and unresponsive. At that time, Liu Li thought that he had succeeded in bluffing, but the two combined...
Is Song Sanyue a manipulated puppet?
Liu Li broke into a cold sweat when such a guess came to his mind.
No wonder the other party is not afraid of meeting me in private. It turns out he is using a puppet?
Is this just a living person being manipulated, or is it an artificial puppet?
Liu Li felt scared. Song March, no, the methods shown by the client were too terrifying. The beautiful woman he had been wary of in front of him was just a chess piece thrown by his opponent and could be discarded at will?
"That's right." Song Sanyue suddenly remembered something. She took out a large box of pastries with a smile from the expensive luxury bag she carried with her.
These pastries were wrapped with faint red silk threads. Song Sanyue smiled and said, "Do you want to taste them?"
