"Answer an ordinary person's question? Even the most knowledgeable Confucian scholar in the world cannot comprehend the truth of heaven and earth in his short life, and your question must be the common sense of monks like us!
"A young man in white clothes, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, who is in the late stage of pill formation, said with a look of disdain. High-speed updates
"Haha, I have only studied Confucianism for twenty-five years, and the knowledge I have is limited. Naturally, I cannot survive as long as your monks and have more insights! If your monks have no objections, I will come up with the question!"
The young Confucian scholar did not get angry because of the contempt of the young man in white. Instead, he said something elegant and polite, which naturally brought the situation back, blocking all subsequent conversations and leaving the young man in white speechless.
"Hmph!" The young man in white snorted coldly, but he did not act too radically. After all, today he is here to apply for the discipleship of the Phoenix Sect. It is not a good thing to offend others here.
As for Lin Lei, in addition to being surprised by the young Confucian scholar's composure, he was also surprised by the cultivation of the young man in white.
"At such a young age, his cultivation was so profound that he broke into the Nascent Soul Realm. But why did he hide his true realm? Could it be that, like myself, he came to the Phoenix Sect for a purpose?" Lin Lei
He secretly thought to himself, but even if this young man in white has some hidden secret and wants to sneak into the Phoenix Sect, it has nothing to do with him.
"Listen carefully, all the monks who are applying, I have only one sentence to ask you this question. What is Tao?" the young Confucian scholar asked with a smile.
"What is Tao?" After hearing this question, the boy in white suddenly frowned. There are many answers to this question, but each answer cannot explain the word Tao. And if one clearly understands the word Tao,
Then monks like them will no longer have the constraints of bottlenecks, and will advance all the way to the top, becoming immortals and ascending.
"The Tao is the Tao, but it is the Tao! The Tao is the road that everyone wants to walk. On this road full of thorns, step by step, you can confirm the road you have walked and the road you will take in the future! And this is not just the right path to the Tao.
The interpretation of one word is the interpretation of every monk’s life journey!”
Not a minute after the question was asked, a middle-aged monk stood out from the crowd, jumped onto the platform, and answered with a vicissitudes of life.
The young Confucian scholar raised his fist at the middle-aged monk, gave a small salute, and said with a smile: "Sir's answer is very subtle, but it is not the answer I have in mind!"
When the middle-aged monk heard this, he just smiled helplessly, without getting angry, and returned to where he was, continuing to meditate and recall his lifelong pursuit of Tao.
After the middle-aged monks returned to the square, one after another who thought they had understood the Tao jumped onto the platform and tried to answer what the Tao was. However, although there were various answers, none of them was the answer in the mind of the young Confucian scholar.
After a while, most of the monks explained their thoughts, but none of them answered correctly. At this time, these monks began to become agitated. Some over-emotional monks began to point at the young Confucian scholar and curse.
: "You little kid, we have explained the avenue that we have pursued throughout our lives. You said it was wonderful, but you also said it was not the answer in your mind! Then let me ask, what is the answer in your mind? If you don't convince me
Take it orally, I guarantee that when you leave the Phoenix Sect, you will die!"
"Yeah, you brat with no hair all over, I think you are deliberately not letting us pass!"
"You brat, tell us the answer quickly and let us pass, otherwise, I will destroy your nine tribes!"
Lin Lei had the true interpretation of Tao in his heart. After all, he had captured the spirit of Heaven's Dao, and since he could incarnate Heaven's Dao, he was naturally very clear about the word Dao.
However, Lin Lei never made any move. Instead, he watched the group of monks and young Confucian scholars with great interest, to see how the young Confucian scholars would save the siege.
He believed that since the young Confucian scholar was invited by the Phoenix Sect to be an examiner and dared to face so many monks, he must not be an ordinary person.
The young Confucian scholar bowed to the hundreds of monks and said calmly and calmly: "Fellow monks, you are here to apply for the Phoenix Sect. In fact, the questions I asked are not meant to make things difficult for you. On the contrary, I intend to help you.
Being selected into the Phoenix Sect, you got what you wanted! If you really can't answer the questions asked below, then it's okay to tell the answers below. However, as long as you tell the answers to the questions below, you will lose the qualification to be selected this year.
!Please think twice before you act!”
The answer was indeed sophisticated and sharp, but just after the young Confucian scholar finished speaking, the young man in white suddenly jumped up and landed firmly on the platform. He still looked at the young Confucian scholar with contempt and coldness.
Leng replied: "Tao...is the sky!"
The answer of the young man in white shocked the whole body of the young Confucian scholar, as well as the hundreds of monks present, including Lin Lei.
The sharp performance of the young man in white attracted everyone's attention, including Lin Lei. Lin Lei thought to himself: This young man in white is not like an ordinary monk. He has such a deep understanding of the Tao with that young Confucian scholar at a young age. He will definitely become a great master in the future.
Ah! And the answer to what is Tao is exactly what the young man in white said. Tao is heaven, heaven is Tao, and that’s what the so-called Tao is!
The young Confucian scholar clasped his fist at the boy in white, smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to this monk, your answer is correct! You can choose to become an outer disciple, or you can continue to go up the mountain and apply for an inner disciple! However, before you leave, I have
I have a question, Xiang asked. This question has troubled me for a long time, and I have never found the answer. I wonder if this monk can help me find the answer to this question?"
"Humph, if you have any questions from mortals, just ask!" the young man in white said proudly.
"What is Tao?" the young Confucian scholar asked again.
When the young man in white heard this, his pupils narrowed and he stared at the young scholar.
"What?" The hundreds of monks present all exclaimed, and even Lin Lei shrank his eyes, then smiled and shook his head, obviously having thought of the answer to this question.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please ignore him, he is clearly playing tricks on you!"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wang, this mortal is just playing tricks on you. You can just walk away. We have already passed this level anyway!"
"What is Tao...?" The young man in white ignored the voice below, but looked up at the dome of the hall. He murmured something for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"Thank you...!" The young Confucian scholar bowed, nodded with a wry smile, and sent the boy in white out of the hall.
"This...what is going on? What is Tao and what is Tao? Isn't this a question?"
"Yes, is there any mystery in this?"
"What is the Tao? The former Tao asks about the Tao of Heaven, but the latter Tao asks what kind of Tao is it?"
"The way of heaven? The way of the latter? What a mess, let's go, let's go to the next assessment!"
After a while, in the noisy hall, only the young Confucian scholar and Lin Lei were left. The young Confucian scholar walked back to the platform because he had to evaluate the next batch of disciples. He looked at Lin Lei in confusion and asked:
"This monk, you have passed this level of assessment, why are you still waiting to leave?"
"I wonder if this gentleman is asking about immortality?" Lin Lei asked lightly.
"This...!" The young Confucian scholar's whole body was shaken, and when he looked at Lin Lei, his eyes suddenly became fanatical. He ran down the platform in three steps and two steps at a time, stood in front of Lin Lei, and said with a longing look on his face: "Sir,
You know me, may I ask, what is the Tao?"
Lin Lei shook his head with a smile and said: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there is a Tao outside this Tao! Sir, I am in the lower world, but I am asking about the Tao in the immortal world. Don't you feel bored?"
"Oh?" The young Confucian scholar pondered, then shook his head with a smile and said, "When did you see it?"
"Even if you are a great scholar in this world, you will not be able to escape birth, old age, illness and death. How can you understand the Tao clearly when you look like you are only in your twenties? How can you understand the Tao clearly without some thrilling experiences of life and death? Only through the suffering of the human world can you understand the Tao clearly.
As sweet and sour as it is, I have stood at the pinnacle of the human realm and trampled the heavenly realm under my feet. Only then can I be confused about the immortal realm. I have this question! I wonder, am I wrong?" Lin Lei asked with a smile.
"I am Qiu Hongxue, a casual cultivator!" Qiu Hongxue bowed to Lin Lei and declared his life.
"Haha, I, Huang Tianqiong, am also a casual cultivator!" Lin Lei borrowed his master's name without blushing and introduced himself.
"Brother Huang, although he didn't tell the answer to what Tao is, these words clearly indicate that he has a clear understanding of the Tao of Heaven. Presumably, Brother Huang's cultivation level also has something hidden?" Qiu Hongxue laughed loudly.
"Brother Qiu, to be honest, I am already a cultivator in the late stage of transcending the tribulation. I am here to apply as a disciple of the Phoenix Sect. I really have something to hide, and I have to hide it!" Lin Lei sighed faintly.
"Brother Huang can tell me the truth, which shows that Brother Huang is upright and upright in his conduct! I admire you. Today, I will introduce you to you, and you will definitely become a core disciple of the Phoenix Sect. I hope that Brother Huang can go to the back mountain with me and chat.
!" Qiu Hongxue invited sincerely, not caring about Lin Lei's purpose at all. After all, what can a monk who has transcended tribulations plan? What's more, even if a monk with such knowledge has a conspiracy, it is not something that is disgusting.
Qiu Hongxue would definitely not refuse if he could help.
It has to be said that Lin Lei and Qiu Hongxue hit it off immediately, and they felt that Qiu Hongxue was sincere and trustworthy.
Of course, Lin Lei did not relax his vigilance and knew where he was. However, there were very few monks in the world who could hide his spiritual awareness. After all, his spiritual awareness had risen to a terrifying level since the fairy spirit awakened.
, coupled with the fact that he has swallowed three rays of the spirit of heaven, his spiritual awareness is even more outrageous, comparable to that of a mysterious immortal!
Therefore, after feeling that Qiu Hongxue had no ill intentions, Lin Lei was willing to make this generous friend, but he did not forget his purpose.
"Brother Qiu, if I'm not wrong, Brother Qiu has already entered the ranks of true immortals and will ascend to heaven soon?" Lin Lei guessed that indeed, Lin Lei had indeed guessed because, until this moment, he had not sensed anything.
With Qiu Hongxue's cultivation level, in front of him, Qiu Hongxue is still an ordinary person.
"Haha, cultivation, cultivation, why do you care?" Qiu Hongxue said.
Lin Lei saw that Qiu Hongxue didn't want to talk about his cultivation, so he didn't hesitate anymore, but clasped his fists and said: "Brother Qiu, I am applying to be a disciple of the Phoenix Sect. I hope that everything will be done in accordance with the rules of the sect. I don't want to be the focus of everyone and be criticized.
Elders in the sect, pay attention! Otherwise, if you are restricted by others, it will be difficult to achieve your goals, hey...!"
"Oh, haha, I didn't take this into consideration, and I almost ruined Brother Huang's important matter! Hmm! Otherwise, when this evaluation is over, I will go find you?" Qiu Hongxue obviously did not let Lin Lei go.
I mean, I asked in a retreat.
"Okay, since Brother Qiu is so elegant, it would be too petty for me to refuse! When I apply to become an inner disciple, I will wait for Brother Qiu to take over!" Lin Lei said.
"Okay!" Qiu Hongxue laughed loudly and sent Lin Lei out of the hall.
After watching Lin Lei walk into the next hall, Qiu Hongxue returned to the hall and said with a smile: "What a person who has reached the top of humanity, what a person who has stepped on the way of heaven under his feet. Everything this person thinks is so bold.
, he will definitely be a character in the future!”
"Next batch!" With this loud shout, the young Confucian scholar turned back into a humble and gentle Confucian scholar. How could he still look as enthusiastic as before?
Review of the second level of entry, it is the same hall, it is also a monk square, it is also a platform, and it is even more the same, there is a person standing on the platform, but this person has the cultivation level of the early Yuan Ying, and has a strong aura.
, and Senran's murderous intent shows that he has fought countless battles in his life, and also killed countless people.
"The second level of entry is very simple. As long as one of you defeats me, you can pass. The monk who defeats me will directly become an outer disciple, or he can go up the mountain to be selected as an inner disciple!"
The strong man examiner of the second level said loudly with a voice like a bell.
Lin Lei sneered. He really wanted to pass this level. Otherwise, it would be really annoying to go through each level one after another. As for the cultivation of the Perfect Pill Formation and the challenge of leapfrogging, it didn't matter to Lin Lei. Anyway, it didn't matter.
If you want to be selected as an inner disciple, you definitely won't be able to do it if you don't have any abilities, but if you show your skills at this level, it won't attract anyone's attention!
However, before that, let's take a look at what this strong monk can do.
"Early stage of Nascent Soul? Huh, what's so great? I once leapfrogged and killed a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul!" As soon as the strong man examiner finished speaking, a monk with perfect elixir formation and a figure even stronger than the strong man examiner appeared.
, jumped onto the platform, and his aura swept the entire audience. He was no weaker than the strong examiner. His murderous aura was truly terrifying.
"Oh? After so many rubbish assessments in the past, I finally met someone I like. Come on, let me see if you are as good as you say!" the strong examiner said loudly.
As soon as the strong man examiner finished speaking, the monk who was taking the examination struck preemptively and punched out with such force and speed that it was as fast as lightning. The strong man examiner's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Good punch!"
As the fists approached step by step, the strong examiner pinched his waist with both hands without making any movement, which made the monks who were taking the examination feel a kind of contemptuous anger in their hearts. The power of the fists increased again, and the speed became faster, like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye,
, and rushed in front of the strong man examiner.
At this moment, everyone watching the battle held their breath. They were completely shocked by the punch of the monk who was taking the exam. They were all thinking about how they would dodge and fight back if they were the strong examiner.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, the strong examiner kicked out like lightning, hitting the monk who was taking the examination in the lower abdomen, flying backwards like a cannonball, and fell out of the platform.
"Hmph, you thought it was a tough one? I didn't expect that I would be just like those losers, unable to make a single move!" After the strong examiner said something disdainfully, he no longer looked at the monk who was taking the exam and fell into a coma on the ground.
Sweeping across the hundreds of monks below, he shouted: "Next!"
Under the loud shout of the strong man examiner, the hundreds of monks below fell silent. No one was willing to come up to the stage and be tortured. After all, the fighting power of the strong man who took the exam just now was able to completely torture all the monks here. Since he has been strong
The Chinese examiner kicked him off the platform, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Then among the hundreds of monks present, there wasn't even a fool. Who would go up and be tortured when they knew they couldn't beat him?
Therefore, at this moment, these hundreds of monks are waiting to see if there is a master who can defeat the strong examiner, test their luck, and pass this level. After all, luck is also part of a monk's strength.
"Humph, you bunch of cowards, since no one came up to challenge, then you are all unqualified, so get out!" The strong man examiner was obviously a fighting maniac. After seeing the monks being silent for a while, no one jumped out.
The man immediately became unhappy and issued an eviction order.
"Examiner, don't worry, I'll give it a try!"
Lin Lei shouted helplessly and jumped onto the platform. Originally, he had sensed that there were a few hidden strength among this group of monks, but even if they hid their strength, the highest they could reach was the middle stage of Nascent Soul. With Lin Lei's spiritual sense,
, even if he has reached the middle stage of Yuanying, I am afraid he will not be the opponent of this strong man. After all, this strong man has also hidden his own strength, and he is a monk of Yuanying Dzogchen. Therefore, he has to take action anyway, sooner or later.
Same.
"Oh? Pretty boy, I advise you to go down, otherwise, I will accidentally kill you, which is not worth it!" The strong examiner saw Lin Lei's physique and immediately shook his head and advised.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to pass the exam!" Lin Lei said.
"Okay, in that case, as an examiner, I will never hold back, so you have to think carefully!" Seeing Lin Lei's disobedience, the muscular examiner secretly admired Lin Lei in his heart and advised him again.
