"All things follow the way of heaven. The grass and trees in the sky and the earth each have their own fruits. Birds and beasts each have their own habitat. Mountains and rivers and all living things follow their own nature. This is the virtue of the earth. Live in peace and nourish your nature, cultivate your mind with a correct mind..."
Chen Pi followed the traces left by the big insect and came to a mountain stream. He heard a voice that seemed to be a warning. The voice seemed to come from all directions. He didn't know where the real source was. It was misty.
indefinite.
He thought to himself that he must be a heavenly master who can say such thought-provoking words. However, does the heavenly master want to warn me? Is this rejecting me? Peace of mind and destiny, each abide by his own way, the way of humanity, the way of earth, heaven and earth...
.
Chen Pi was stunned again. He muttered to himself, with a struggling light in his eyes. The Heavenly Master was obviously saying that he had an unstable temperament and refused to teach him the great way. But why did he feel a wave of loss and struggle in his heart.
"These are the three virtues that can be obtained by human beings, heaven and earth, human beings follow the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, Tao follows nature, all things follow the cycle, all dharma and Tao are the same..." Liu Shang was full of expressions.
Man, sat lazily on a big rock between a mountain stream, leaning on the big insect's body with his back, using some small tricks, the sound came out far away and echoed in the mountains.
Chen Pi's mind was in chaos, his eyes were empty, and he was fixed in the distance, unable to move a step. He seemed to have entered a mysterious situation, like a spectator, and his life was unfolding before his eyes.
When he was a child, his father's stern face and his mother's gentle concern taught him to memorize calligraphy. At that time, he felt aggrieved and did not understand, but he could not disobey his parents' earnestness.
Therefore, when he was young, he studied martial arts diligently, stole lessons from famous masters behind his parents' back, and became wild and unrestrained. At that time, he had achieved little success, thought he had found his own interest, and began to rebel.
And as for the crown, he was able to defeat all the scholars in the world in literature, and defeated all the famous masters who had stolen from him in martial arts. He was even more arrogant. However, he was a disciple of a famous family, pretending to be humble, and being hypocritical and submissive to others, appearing to be heroic.
Now, he is famous all over the world and has fame and wealth at his fingertips, but he abandons them like worn out shoes. He is confused and tired. He travels all over the mountains and lakes, unruly and has nowhere to go. Looking at the past, those are just what others want.
That him, not the real him.
Chen Pi's body was frozen in the distance. He was obviously only one step away from the Heavenly Master. If he stepped over, he could see the Heavenly Master and ask the Heavenly Master to accept him and become his disciple. However, this step seemed to be extremely important.
I can't step out no matter what.
"The original intention is good, and there is no self, so you become virtuous. You gain virtue by giving up desire. Yes, it is virtue! If you don't wake up, how long will it take?"
He saw the confusion in Chen Pi's heart and used the Taoist voice of enlightenment.
Chen Pi's whole body began to tremble, and he was sweating profusely. He could not get out of the confusion, and was trapped in the illusion of his past, unable to extricate himself. The person he was in the past was famous and wealthy, and he was an existence that scholars all over the world wanted to surpass.
, is both illusory and real, pulling him, dragging him, reminding him with various temptations.
See clearly that all of this is your own hard work and is real. Do you want to give up? Power, fame, wealth, prestige, civil and military skills are known to the world. These are all yours. Do you want to give up?
It was like a demonic voice filling his ears over and over again, pulling Chen Pi into it, sinking deeper and deeper into the mud. When he couldn't extricate himself, there seemed to be a sound from the sky, and a thunderous rumble descended.
If Liu Shang hadn't awakened him with a sudden shout, Chen Pi might not have become a Taoist, but a demon. He really could become a demon or a Buddha with just one thought.
Chen Pi stirred up his spirit and let out a deep and long breath. He shook his body a few times before he regained his balance. He breathed quickly and thanked the invisible Celestial Master in the distance: "Thank you Celestial Master."
Liu Shang is so angry, don't you want to become a disciple? How come you were suddenly deceived into joining the devil's path? With such a character, how can I accept you as my disciple?
Fortunately, at the last moment, he discovered that Chen Pi's aura was not right and quickly woke him up.
Liu Shang said to himself: "Could it be it again?" He looked up at the sky, his eyes full of vigilance. It was really all-pervasive. He just accepted a disciple, and this was going to cause trouble. If you want to stop it, I can't let you.
As one wishes.
He put aside his thoughts and understood that Chen Pi's inner demon was too heavy and it was certain that he would be found by it. It seemed that if he didn't kill this guy's inner demon and distracting thoughts, it would give him another chance to take advantage of him next time.
"The heavens and the earth are natural, and the filthy odors are gone...the great power of the eight directions is shining brightly...the nine heavens are warned...the Donggang Taixuan...according to the five mountains and the eight seas...the demon king restrains his hands and serves me...the evil odors dissipate, and the qi of the Tao will remain forever."
, scattered, as urgent as the law."
Before Chen Pi could react, a golden light shot from the stream. He was shocked and wanted to dodge, but he was still a step too late. He was hit by the golden light, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. On the contrary, Chen Pi still felt
Feeling an unprecedented sense of relief, wisps of Chen Pi's invisible energy rose up from his body and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Liu Shang smiled. He saw that the qi machine was indeed it. He didn't know whether it was afraid of Liu Shang's distraction or the mirror of this life. This time it didn't send out the power of heaven again. It just went away at a touch. It was very clean.
neat.
"Chen Pi, where do you mean this?" Liu Sang continued to pretend, seeing that his inner demons had receded.
He hadn't even become his disciple yet, but he had already protected him once, which cost him a lot of mana. If he didn't accept this disciple, wouldn't it be a loss?
Chen Pi prostrated himself to the ground, looked at the Heavenly Master who was unknown where he was among the mountains and streams in the distance, and said sincerely: "I'm here to be my disciple, and I would like to ask the Heavenly Master to accept me as his disciple."
Liu Shang smiled, his voice came from the mountains and forests, and his whereabouts were elusive.
"Worship a poor Taoist as your teacher? My teaching should not be taught lightly. There are many stupid and stubborn people in the world. If I accept you, I don't know that you will not cause trouble in the future. You'd better leave. You and I have no destiny." Liu Shang said deliberately.
.
Chen Pi's confusion barrier has been broken, and his mind and body are empty. How can he be fooled again by Liu Shang's few words? After hearing the words, he said calmly: "I heard about the Great Dao from Qizhou, and I suddenly realized it. After Qizhou,
I followed the Celestial Master to Chang'an, and heard that the Celestial Master was heading north. I searched again and traveled thousands of miles, but never found the Celestial Master.
traces."
He paused and said again: "I chased you all the way, and I heard the sound of the Heavenly Master's Xuanxuan Dao, just like the Heavenly Master's words. If there is no fate between the boy and the Heavenly Master, how could he let me find this place? The Heavenly Master often says that in the world
Yuanfa, how can you ignore the arrival of Yuanfa, please come again, kid."
In fact, Liu Shang is not necessarily Chen Pi's opponent when it comes to talking nonsense. After all, he is a professional and he is just an amateur. However, this guy is supposed to be his mentor after all, so his disciples stole the limelight and were beaten by Chen Pi.
Pi Qi was dumbfounded by the retort and thought to himself, did I say that? Yes, I did!
He got a little angry from embarrassment, and said that Chen Pi had a volatile temperament, and he was not the same. His original plan was to take advantage of the situation to accept Chen Pi, but this idiot got angry again, thinking of Huang Shigong, the apprentice he accepted, he was respectful and humble.
, he honestly helped pick up the shoes, it would be better for him to recruit a disciple who could speak eloquently, and he would not be able to get off the stage because of his eloquence. Comparing people with others would make people angry, so he wanted Chen Pi to have a taste of the majesty of his mentor.
Chen Pi didn't know that something that was originally a drama had changed. If he knew, maybe he would be smarter and choose to keep his mouth shut.
Because, the first commandment of Taoism is to respect the teacher and the Tao.
"My Taoist Hua Xianliangshi..., yes, it is correct. In this way, you can be regarded as spiritually intelligent. Since it is a predestined relationship, then just stay with me. As for the matter of disciples, don't worry about it. Are you willing?
?" He almost spoke about Shi Huayu, but he didn't know if it would create a Buddhist door for him if he opened his mouth. In that case, he would really be shooting himself in the foot.
So he was lucky enough to get back in time. It was Liu Sang who caused trouble by talking randomly. Now it was backlashing against him, which really made him feel unhappy.
He agreed to Chen Pi, but he didn't agree to accept him as his disciple now. You want to be beautiful, you little scoundrel, I won't let my teacher come down, I won't let you see the majesty of your mentor, and I won't let you raise your tail to the sky.
.
Chen Pi, however, looked ecstatic, and shouted with great joy: "Disciple Chen Pi, please pay homage to the Heavenly Master." The Heavenly Master did not recognize him as his disciple, so he did not dare to call him his mentor.
The big insect slowly appeared in front of the mountain stream carrying Liu Shang on his back, like a man among gods. The cold mist was rising in the mountains. He seemed to be stepping on the dense fairy clouds. His sleeves were wide and he had a white jade whisk in his hand. He was no longer as shabby as before.
The Taoist robe is added to the body, but a purple robe with a fairy spirit flutters, and a green hairpin is inserted into the head. Sitting on the back of a tiger as powerful and strong as an ox, if there is a circle of golden light of merit behind the head, that will be fine.
Chen Pi looked at him with a look of reverence. He looked up at the mountain in his heart. He was really graceful and graceful. This is what a heavenly master should have. He has an immortal spirit. Apart from his slightly youthful appearance, which somewhat destroyed this majestic demeanor,
Not much violation.
Liu Shang gave him all the beautiful fantasies, and this is how gods should be.
Just listen to the Tianshi pretending to be calm and say: "Pick up the boots for me."
As he said this, he saw this guy swung his feet and deliberately dropped his boots into the stream in front of Chen Pi. He really planned to imitate Huang Shi Gongsan to test Zhang Liang, but he deliberately dropped his boots in such a blatant manner.
, is it really good?
Chen Pi was stunned at first, and then looked at all this with dumbfounded eyes. He thought to himself, Heavenly Master, it’s freezing cold now. If you throw your boots into the cold stream, you won’t be able to put them on even if you pick them up. Are you testing me?
?
Yes, Liu Shang had forgotten that it was winter now, not summer. He was wearing brocade-covered mink boots, and this was the north. When he picked up the boots, Liu Sang regretted it.
Twitching, looking at the hard boots that Chen Pi respectfully handed over, they turned out to be frozen. This time he was pretending too much.
