Chapter 224 Discussing the Tao in Xuandu, Sanwei Mountain
As expected, Han Zhixian lived up to Zhang Zixing's expectations. It only took less than two months to refine seven Nine-turn Tianyuan Pills. This pill not only has the effect of instantly recovering from trauma, but also greatly speeds up the recovery of vitality.
.
After Kong Xuan and Ying Long took the Nine-turn Tianyuan Pill, the effect was quite obvious. According to Kong Xuan's estimation, with the Nine-turn Tianyuan Pill, the vitality that was originally expected to take months or even years to recover can be restored in no more than half a month.
full recovery.
Zhang Zixing was very happy, and he pledged himself to her that night, purely "repaying" Han Zhixian without using the skills of double cultivation. I don't know how many times that person played the role of Lang in the night, anyway, the second time
Oh my god, Han Zhixian's female fairy body was actually bedridden due to "overwork".
In the days that followed, men and women fell in love with each other, and their love was boundless. Someone who had not been sleeping with him for a long time shamelessly dragged Shang Qingjun into the muddy water, and a dragon and two phoenixes appeared after a long absence.
Happy. Only Daji, except for those who need the power of dual cultivators of demon spirits, is still immersed in the phantom water formation every night.
Just when Kong Xuan and Ying Long were about to recover, Han Zhixian brought up something. It turned out that tomorrow was the death anniversary of her master and senior sister. Normally, she would go to pay homage every year as long as she had time. This time she wanted to
Zhang Zixing accompanied her there so that Master could "see" her husband.
Naturally, Zhang Zixing would not refuse such a request. He made some arrangements, and the next day he accompanied Han Zhixian on a dragon horse to her master's graveyard, Wuyue Cave in Qinggang Peak, Sanjiao Mountain.
There are Panjiao, Shijiao and Qianjiao mountains in the mountains, hence the name "Three Wei". They are all high mountains and valleys with steep slopes. Qinggang Peak is the main peak of the Sanjiao Mountains, with a high altitude and dangerous terrain. It is winter.
, the mountains are covered with white snow, Zhang Zixing and Han Zhixian both have extraordinary cultivation, so they are not afraid of the severe cold, their clothes are fluttering, and they fly towards Qinggang Peak.
There is a cave on Qinggang Peak, which is the Wuyue Cave where Han Zhixian once lived as his teacher. In front of Wuyue Cave, there are two mausoleums, one is that of Han Zhixian's predecessor, Miaoyi Zhenren, and the other is
The place where her senior sister Fu Ling Xian Yun Ling and her senior brother-in-law Jin Heng are buried together.
Han Zhixian swept away the snow from the mausoleum, knelt in front of the curtain of Miaoyi Zhenren, offered incense devoutly, closed her eyes and closed her hands to pray. Zhang Zixing looked from the side and saw that her fragrant shoulders were slightly shrugged, and a beautiful and plump breast was arched out.
With a long arc shape, a pair of beautiful eyes closed quietly, her long eyelashes slightly curled, her facial features are particularly exquisite and flawless. Under the cover of white snow, this woman with her cherry lips moving slightly and praying softly has an indescribable beauty that makes people feel at ease.
She is calm and cannot be disturbed.
If you look at Han Zhixian's usually slightly murderous eyebrows, you would never have imagined that she would have such peaceful and serene beauty.
Han Zhixian slowly opened her eyes and saw him looking at her obsessively. Joy filled her heart, but her face turned red: "What do you think I'm doing?"
"You are so beautiful," Zhang Zixing praised sincerely: "Such a beautiful fairy is actually my wife. It seems that I am really a lucky person..."
Han Zhixian felt sweet in her heart and said: "In terms of beauty, sister Qingjun is much better than me. You are a sweet talker. No wonder you have deceived even a smart and intelligent woman like sister Qingjun."
"God can tell you that I sincerely praise you and I am absolutely telling you no lies!"
When Han Zhixian heard the female demon talk about the trick he used when praying for rain, he smiled and said: "Even the Lord of Heaven, God Haotian, was tricked by you. You can do countless things with these curses!"
Zhang Zixing quickly said: "If I make false statements, discipline me..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by a delicate hand: "Who asked you to swear? Anyway, I have fallen into your hands. Even if you are heartless and heartless, you can only admit it... You also come to worship the master.
Bar."
Zhang Zixing held her covered hand and kissed the palm before reluctantly leaving. He walked a few steps, solemnly paid homage to the mausoleum of Master Miaoyi, and said, "Master, please don't worry.
In this life, you should treat Hanzhi kindly, never leave him in poverty or poverty, and never abandon him in life or death. As long as you can love each other with Hanzhi, even if you give up this supreme position, you will have no regrets."
Unexpectedly, Han Zhixian made such a promise solemnly in front of the grave of his late master. He felt happy and touched at the same time, and couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes.
After the worship, the two of them were not in a hurry to return to Chaoge. They went down to Qinggang Peak. Zhang Zixing summoned the dragon and horse. The two rode together, leaning on each other all the way, talking about their love and admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.
The snow scene. The dragon and horse are psychic and understand the owner's thoughts. They walk slowly all the way to try to extend this warm journey.
Zhang Zixing hugged Han Zhixian's slender waist from behind, pointed at the snow scene, and told some legends and jokes about future generations. Han Zhixian and he had been husband and wife for a long time, unlike when he first hugged him when they first left Jin'ao Island.
As shy as she was, she just snuggled happily into his arms, listened intently, and laughed from time to time. Even if she was rubbed a little bit by him occasionally, she would just put up a symbolic and ineffective resistance, or blush for a while.
While Zhang Zixing was talking, he glanced aside unintentionally and was startled. He immediately ordered Long Ma to stop. Han Zhixian knew something was wrong, so when he followed his gaze, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
I saw a person standing in front of the rock not far away. When did this person arrive, the two of them had no idea. You must know that Han Zhixian and Zhang Zixing are both at the beginning of the Golden Immortal level, especially Zhang Zixing's
Sensing is the most sensitive, but if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, neither of the two people, including Ryoma and even Super Brain, would be able to detect the existence of this person! This means that this person either has some magic weapon to conceal his aura, or his cultivation is far away
More than two people.
Zhang Zixing looked at this person for a while, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. He was an old man with white beard and hair. He seemed to be quite old. He was wearing a simple and thin Taoist robe, and he was actually sitting in the snow. Zhang Zixing had a feeling.
, the old Taoist was just sitting there normally, but he seemed to have merged into the world. This world was him, and he was the world. At this time, although the distance between the old Taoist and the two of them was only a short distance, Zhang Zixing felt a sense of distance in his heart.
The sense of distance at the end of the world.
Zhang Zixing knew that he had met an expert, so he quickly dismounted his horse with Han Zhixian and walked towards the old Taoist. As he approached, the old Taoist seemed to be extremely ordinary again, like a mortal without any magic power.
Zhang Zixing did not dare to neglect, and saluted: "I am a poor Taoist, Xiaoyaozi, this is my Taoist companion Han Zhixian. I have met my Taoist friend, may I ask my name?"
The old Taoist did not stand up, but glanced at Longma behind him, his eyes fell on his face, his brows seemed to wrinkle slightly, and he replied: "My name is Xuandu."
When Zhang Zixing heard the name of this veteran Taoist, he was immediately moved and asked: "Is it possible that my fellow Taoist is from Bajing Palace?"
The old Taoist smiled slightly, did not deny it, and nodded.
Zhang Zixing was even more surprised when an old Taoist confirmed his identity: It was indeed the Great Master Xuandu! The Great Master Xuandu is the only disciple of Laozi, the saint of the Bajing Palace people's religion in the novel Fengshen. There is no record of any attack in the original novel Fengshen.
, there was only one incident of scolding in the Yellow River Formation in Sanxiao. But as the only disciple of Laozi, his strength is definitely not ordinary - now it seems that the cultivation of Master Xuandu is really unfathomable.
Perhaps, not under Kong Xuan.
Among the saints of the three religions, the leader of Jiejiao Tongtian has implicitly shown his support for Dachang through his actions. Yuanshi Tianzun of Chanjiao is on the side of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Laozi of this human sect is really looking at "the waves rise and the clouds disappear"
His attitude was to let the emperors in the world rise and fall, and as long as the human race's luck remained intact, they would stay out of the matter and belong to the neutral faction. It was in vain that Zhang Zixing had built n Laojun temples to please him.
But Zhang Zixing knew that the position of this neutral faction was not firm. In the original plot, Sanxiao set up the Yellow River Formation to trap the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Chan. Yuanshi Tianzun summoned Laozi and joined forces to bully the small and kill Sanxiao.
Although there is a suspicion that Yuan Shi dragged me into the water, I himself had no intention of rejecting it. This plot of the original work is also one of the things that Zhang Zixing feels most unsatisfied about. Then, the Four Saints joined forces to break the heaven-reaching Immortal Formation, and Ten Thousand Immortals
I am involved in every formation.
Zhang Zixing wanted to meet Lao Tzu and made great efforts to avoid a "repeat" of the plot of the Four Saints joining forces to attack Tongtian in the future, because helping Tongtian is equivalent to helping himself, but he has never had the chance. Now he can meet Lao Tzu's only disciple Xuan here.
Master Du, this is a God-given opportunity, and he must not let it go.
Zhang Zixing's thoughts turned to lightning and he already had an idea.
"Fellow Taoist Xuandu, I have heard about the power of the saints of Bajing Palace for a long time. I have a doubt. I hope my Taoist can solve it."
Zhang Zixing was originally a research-oriented otaku who lived at home in the 24th century, but in this world, in order to adapt to the environment, many talents began to show. Among them, one of the most outstanding ones is his communicative skills. Now he has to do
The purpose is to arouse Master Xuandu's interest in him, and then attract Laozi's attention and attention.
However, Xuandu Archmage remained calm and did not ask as curiously as he imagined. Zhang Zixing knew that this person's state of mind was extremely high, so he was not discouraged. Instead, he took the initiative and asked: "Excuse me, friend."
, what is "Tao"?"
This question really aroused the interest of Master Xuandu, but he did not give his master's answer such as "the Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao". Instead, he asked Zhang Zixing: "What do you think is the Tao?"
Zhang Zixing has already prepared the answer: "Husband's Tao, with feelings and faith, is intangible; it can be passed down but not received, and it can be obtained but not seen; from its own roots, there is no heaven and earth, and it has been fixed since ancient times; gods, ghosts, and emperors are born in the earth.
"Being before the Tai Chi but not high, being below the Six Extremes but not being deep, being born in the innate world but not being permanent, being longer than the ancient times but not being old."
When Master Xuandu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he finally showed a trace of emotion. Zhang Zixing's words came from Zhuangzi, a representative figure of Taoism who was also called "Laozi and Zhuangzi" in later generations. Zhuangzi was a famous thinker during the Warring States Period.
, philosopher and writer, is a representative figure of the Taoist school and the inheritor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thoughts.
This passage is Zhuangzi's view of "Tao". He believes that although Tao is formless, it has emotions and things in it. It has existed since ancient times, and it produced everything in the world, but it has neither a beginning nor an end. Zhuangzi
It is believed that the heaven, earth, universe, and all things in the world are produced by "Tao". "Tao" is omnipresent. It exists in all things in the world and is the fundamental principle and law of the movement and change of all things in the world. It is also inexhaustible.
In today's world, Lao Tzu's theory of "Tao" has not spread. Even the "Tao Te Ching" is probably still brewing in Lao Tzu's heart, let alone carrying it forward and inheriting it. Master Xuandu is Lao Tzu's only
Disciples, influenced by Laozi's thoughts, should be "knowledgeable" people, so Zhang Zixing specially "imported" Zhuangzi.
Sure enough, a futon suddenly appeared in the snow, and Master Xuandu waved his hand casually to Zhang Zixing: "Sit down."
Zhang Zixing was overjoyed when he knew that he had been recognized by Master Xuandu. He bowed again and sat down cross-legged. Han Zhixian was very obedient and did not come forward. Instead, he returned to Longma and looked at the two from a distance.
people.
This time Zhang Zixing took the initiative to ask: "I dare to ask my friend, what does 'have or not' mean?"
Master Xuandu naturally answered with the standard answer in the Tao Te Ching of later generations: "The nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, I always have no desire to observe its wonder; I always have desire to observe its pleasure. These two
They come from the same origin but have different names. They are both called mysteries, and mysteries are mysteries again. They are the door to all mysteries.”
Zhang Zixing showed great joy at "hearing the Tao" and promptly added an original quote from Lao Tzu: "Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is from non-existence. Existence and non-existence are mutually generated, difficulty and ease complement each other, long and short are compared, superior and inferior are mutually exclusive.
, the sounds are harmonious and follow each other.”
Master Xuandu's eyes showed approval, and he said: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
"Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me."
The two people said something to each other, some of which seemed to be irrelevant to the question, or even unrelated to each other, but it did not affect the coherence of the conversation between the two. Zhang Zixing had a super brain to help him, and from time to time he would come up with a few wise words from Zhuangzi or Laozi himself, and Xuan
Master Du can then derive a mysterious theory that even Zhang Zixing cannot understand.
Although Zhang Zixing had some understanding of Lao Zhuang's theory, he was a fake expert after all. However, his mind turned very fast. When he heard something difficult to understand, he would change his sentence, Xuandu Da Da
The mage was not annoyed when he changed the topic, but continued the discussion enthusiastically.
The two of them talked like this "incomprehensibly" for a while. Master Xuandu sighed: "My fellow Taoist's technique seems to be the same as mine, but his mind is completely different from mine. It's a pity! What a pity! Praise!"
Zhang Zixing said with a smile: "The fish are created by water, and the human beings are created by Tao. Therefore, Tao is different, and everyone can follow their own way. Why should we regret it?"
Master Xuandu finally showed a look of appreciation on his face and nodded: "Taoist friends are born free and easy, and they are worthy of the word 'free'! Today I am happy to meet Taoist friends, and we will form a relationship through Taoism. There will be cause and effect in the future."
"I am a poor Taoist who lives in Chaoge. If my Taoist friends have time in the future, you might as well come to Chaoge and meet again." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Zixing did not stay. After all, this kind of "discussing Taoism" is too hard for him, a pseudo-expert.
.
Master Xuandu did not comment on his invitation and just smiled in return. Zhang Zixing looked at his seemingly meaningful smile and suddenly asked, "Do you think I really know the Tao?"
