When the light fell on him, Zhang Yudun felt as if he had entered another world.
However, he had the experience of entering the place where Xuanting submitted a letter, and he could feel that this situation was somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. It seemed that his body was still in the same place, but his consciousness was immersed in this place.
He looked up and saw the light flowing around him. There seemed to be a force trying to push him. It was like the waves were coming. He felt that he only needed to obey this force and go with the flow, and then he would be able to see what he wanted to see smoothly.
something arrived.
But he did not obey this power. The so-called "destiny" he obtained this time has always been oscillating between "man's destiny" and "heaven's destiny".
He once carefully thought about the difference between the two, that is, the choice of his own mind is different.
If fate comes first, everything is destined. No matter what you do or what you pay, it is all arranged by fate, and it is passive and laissez-faire.
On the other hand, people who are determined in the first place firmly believe that human power can change all things, and they can strive for it themselves even if it is a chance of fate. They are proactive and enterprising.
For example, this time he went to the Wei Constellation to listen to the Dharma. If the Dharma was placed first, then the two were originally destined, so he came here. But if he is personally speaking, it is because he wants to go there.
Get here.
And just like before, he felt that the barrier on the Jade Lotus would be resolved after three days. If he followed the fate, he could wait for three days safely, and then he could successfully see the things inside.
However, he did not follow this destiny, but actively searched for a way to break it, and now he has achieved it one day in advance. This is human destiny.
This is a pure Taoist thought, and it also has its own rules of conduct. If I do it, it is my will and has nothing to do with all external forces.
If you hesitate repeatedly and blindly believe that conditions come first, you will only deny your own existence, and then deny the Great Way.
Therefore, he ignored the external forces that pushed him, and instead used his mind to find the mystery. If he could find the reason for it, that would be the best. If he couldn't find it, then he would not obey and accommodate it.
After a while, he felt something in front of him, so he ignored the waves and found his own way.
After a long time, he felt that the waves suddenly dissipated. When he looked up, he saw a seal with a turbid light rising and falling in front of him. At the same time, a thought passed through his mind.
For a moment, he felt that all kinds of mysteries were coming one after another. Although he could not fully understand the mystery, he felt that as long as he combined this seal, he could reach the upper realm.
He now also understands why those cultivators who have obtained the predestined method in the past have never heard of anyone achieving Xuanzun through it. That is because the cultivator must have enough foundation to bear this seal. As he is currently practicing, it is also
But it's quite satisfying.
But he could also realize at the same time that this was not the mysterious path as originally imagined, but a simple and confusing path.
That is to say, whether you are a true cultivator or a metaphysical cultivator, if you follow this method, you will have to switch to Hun Zhang. However, this path points out the direction, and those who seek the way are not enough in spirit.
There are also seals given by superior powers to fill in the remaining gaps and help you pass the test, so you will not become a chaotic monster.
The Tongtian Avenue was right in front of him, but he stood there and did not step out.
Because this is not his own way, but the way of his predecessors.
If he had walked through it, he would never be able to surpass the methods of his predecessors, and in the future he could only follow the predecessors who blazed this trail.
At this moment, he remembered what Dai Xuanzun once said to him, "The ordinary laws are incomprehensible, trust yourself more than trust others", and he believed it deeply.
That great power will not make up for your shortcomings for no reason, but will ask you to repay it.
He glanced at the seal and said: "This method is not my method, this way is not my way."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back. As he stepped out of the light, the seal on the back shook twice and suddenly broke.
Almost at the same time, a Taoist sitting on the Dharma platform of Kuisu Tiancheng suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him, there were densely packed jade pillars. At this moment, one of them suddenly broke.
The Taoist's golden-red eyes focused on the jade pillar. After flickering for a moment, they disappeared again.
After Zhang Yu came out of that ray of light, he saw that the jade lotus flower in front of him also turned into pieces of crystal and shattered on the ground. At this moment, he suddenly felt relieved, as if he had got rid of something.
.
At this time, there was a thunder outside, and then there was a sound like frying beans on the high platform, but it started to rain heavily.
He stood up and went to the rooftop. Above the glass dome was the sky where clouds and mist had condensed. The land and state became indistinct under the curtain of heavy rain, and everything was covered with a veil.
He stared at it for a while, then sat cross-legged on the spot. He asked Qing Xi to make a cup of tea, opened the Taoist book and started reading. Miao Danjun came over and sat down next to him.
The heavy rain came and went quickly. Looking outside at this moment, the clouds and haze have broken, and the sky is blue with moist rain.
Li Qinghe walked up to the rooftop at this time, came closer, bowed and said: "Sir, the two young men have already settled down."
Zhang Yu hummed and said, "They will live here for the next year, but whether they can live here in the long term depends on themselves."
Li Qinghe had followed him from Dongting to now. Knowing his intentions, he immediately understood what attitude he should take towards these two people and replied: "Qinghe understands."
Zhang Yu asked: "What's going on inside?"
Li Qinghe said: "Qingmo has not written yet, so he is probably not ready yet. We have found several suitable places to live in Tanquanzhou, and we still need to make the final decision, sir."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "I will go to Tanquanzhou when I have time."
Li Qinghe waited for a while, and seeing that he had no more instructions, he bowed again and retreated.
At this time, Mr. Miaodan suddenly turned around and stared at a corner.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed its little head, and said: "Deacon Xu, is there any result?"
The light in the room flashed, and Xu Chengtong's figure slowly appeared, saying: "Patrol patrol, Xu followed up and found that the flying boat landed on Tanquanzhou after leaving Tianmen, and also managed to cover up the Qi machine.
The person above seems to have entered a military station in Kuisu. Xu is currently investigating, but he may encounter some obstacles, so he came to report first."
Zhang Yudao: Deacon Xu can do it with confidence, but if you want to do it, you must not hurt anyone's life."
Xu Chengtong said: "Don't worry, patrolman. His figure disappeared in a flash. The person who just arrived turned out to be Yuanshen Zhaoying who came to report the news.
At this moment, below the high platform, Qing Shu had already turned back after taking Huang Zhixing to the military headquarters. After entering the gate, he walked to An Zhizhi's residence in the high platform.
When I arrived at the door, I saw An Zhizhi directing Weishan to place the tools and creations he brought from Weisu in the room. Although An Zhizhi was young, various things were divided into categories and were very orderly.
He stood at the door for a while and said: "After today, there is only one day left in three days. If you want to get whipped, just keep on grinding."
An Zhizhi couldn't help but remember that he hadn't even looked at the booklet yet, and he couldn't help but panic, but he said, "I can learn it in one day."
Qingshu said: "Then I'll watch it later."
At this time, he noticed that Wei Shan looked envious and said, "You can learn together if you want."
Wei Shan said in surprise: "Can I?"
Qingshu said: "This is not a profound method. Even if you are advanced, you can't learn it. I will come over to check it out the day after tomorrow." After saying that, he left here.
At this moment, above the Earth Star in the Stomach, inside the An family's mansion, a beautiful woman was respectfully welcomed in.
This woman looks to be in her thirties, with a plump figure and fair skin. She is dressed in light-colored dark clothes and has a bun that reveals a smooth and plump forehead. She has a straight nose and a serious expression. She is originally delicate.
His face looked a little more aggressive.
When they arrived at the main hall, An Song was already waiting there. He bowed his hands and said, "Master Guo, please take a seat."
The woman surnamed Guo bowed to her and sat down aside. A servant immediately brought a cup of tea.
She looked over and said with some reproach: "An Zhizhi is a student I like, how can you send him to be a student of others?"
An Song pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and the servants on the side retreated. He said: "Master Guo, I'm telling you, we can't afford to offend that man."
The woman surnamed Guo said displeasedly: "I didn't mean that you said that if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
An Song shook his head and said: "That's the Xuanting patrol, and they came through the Military Affairs Office, and they came and went, and there was no time."
The woman surnamed Guo said: "But Zhizhi Xiaolang has never violated the law. It was just a little fun, so it's not like this."
An Song said: "I know, that's why he only accepted my grandson as his student and didn't say any words of punishment."
The woman surnamed Guo frowned and said: "Master An, as a master craftsman, don't you understand that Zhizhi's talent is outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it only appears once every hundred years. If he continues on the path of creation, he may change creation in the future.
A pattern person.”
An Song said: "Master Guo, I have been a craftsman for two generations of the An family, and you are also a master craftsman. I think you can understand that no matter how skilled the craftsman is and how promising his future is, there is still a limit to what can be seen.
But things are different for those who practice Taoism. With the talent of knowing, wouldn’t it be better to practice Taoism?”
In the past, there were no monks who wanted to take An Zhizhi as a disciple, but he didn't think those monks could teach well. But Zhang Yu was different. With his reputation, strength, and status, where could such a teacher go?
try to find?
The woman surnamed Guo suddenly said: "That Zhang Xunhu is Xuanxiu."
An Song gave her a confused look.
The woman surnamed Guo said solemnly: "The world is changing. Those cultivators and mystical cultivators have exhausted their potential and are on the decline. Only creation is the future. Master An, if you insist on your opinion, in the future
You will definitely regret your choice."
An Song said: "But even if it is as Master Guo said, now that the matter has come to this, I am afraid it is irreversible."
He just said it casually, but the woman surnamed Guo seemed to take it seriously and said seriously: "No, some things are not unchangeable." She stood up, saluted, and said: "I have to excuse you today."
An Song stood up to see her off. Seeing the woman named Guo leaving, he couldn't help but shake his head.
