The sunlight shone on the ground through the door of the scripture hall, and the old man Wu in the scripture hall turned around and walked into the light and shadow......

Rows of wooden shelves were placed around the scripture hall, and the books on them smelled of good books, and he began to concentrate on taking care of those shelves. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The little Taoist priest Li Yiran looked at Meng Fan with a smile: "Senior Brother Niu Ba...... I didn't expect this incident, Grandpa Wu is usually very kind, I don't know why it became like this today. ”

Meng Fan was not surprised, looking at the old man's clumsy figure, he pouted and smiled, it seemed that his good luck was not often there, he reached out and patted Li Yi's shoulder, and said gently: "Listening to the scriptures is also a good thing, it just so happens that I have a lot of things on my mind recently, so I'll come over tomorrow morning class." ”

"Okay. Li Yi barely squeezed out a smile, and Meng Fan turned around and walked out, but they bumped into a Taoist priest head-on, who was wearing a white Taoist robe, which was very different from the dress of Huyangguan, and should not be a disciple of Huyangguan.

After the collision, Li Yi compensated the other party, and it is not surprising that there are often foreign Taoist priests who come to the scripture hall to talk about the scriptures.

The white-robed Taoist priest was about sixty years old, with a flowing white beard, and when he saw that the little Taoist priest was thoughtful, he smiled, glanced at Li Yi and Meng Fan, and then asked: "Today I am a boat, you are for the water, we met just now, is the boat carrying the waves, or is the water going to overturn the boat?"

When the little Taoist priest heard this, he was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party was testing himself, and as an errand runner in the guest hall, he really didn't have the ability to answer this kind of Taoist witty words, so he shook his head.

The white-robed Taoist smiled, his gaze stayed on Meng Fan's face, and he said directly to Meng Fan: "I'm not asking him, I'm asking you." ”

"Heh......" Meng Fan was stunned, how could he talk about the scriptures with others, just now because he hadn't heard the scriptures, he was driven out by the old man Wu, so he waved his hand and casually said what he learned when he was in school, "Kindness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting." ”

Anyway, it's all water coming and going, and when you're done, you can continue to walk out. And the meaning he wants to express is very simple, that is, you go to someone else to play with water, and I don't play with you.

However, when the old man Wu who was guarding the scripture hall heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked over.

Old man Wu naturally knew the white-robed Taoist priest, and he had a headache when he saw the white-robed Taoist priest.

The white-robed Taoist priest stayed in Huyang Temple for a while, and he had to pester him every day to sit and discuss, the questions were very tricky, very difficult to deal with, and he always asked him until he was speechless and disgraced, and then he laughed and left, which made him a little mentally weak!

Several times, he wanted to open his mouth to scold the other party away, but as the keeper of the scripture hall, he couldn't pull his face, so he had to endure this torment every day.

"Not good, not good. The white-robed Taoist priest listened to Meng Fan's words, shook his head, couldn't help but say, grabbed Meng Fan's arm, Meng Fan pulled it for a while and didn't break free, and found that the white-robed Taoist priest's strength was very great, and he was afraid that his cultivation was not low, so he squinted at the white-robed Taoist priest, stretched out his finger and pointed to the old man Wu who was hiding aside, "The person you are looking for is over there." ”

"When you meet, you have fate. The white-robed Taoist priest dragged Meng Fan with one hand, stroked his beard with the other, and said a little scoundrelly, "If you answer me a question, I'll let you go." ”

Witnessing this scene, Old Man Wu quickly turned his face to the side, as if he was very afraid of the words of the white-robed Taoist priest, and he may also be afraid that Meng Fan and Li Yi would ask him for help.

"Senior Brother Niu Ba. Seeing this, the little Taoist Li Yi also felt that the white-robed Taoist was a little excessive, and said to Meng Fan with a wry smile, "You can just talk about it, I haven't heard of the scriptures anyway, and it's okay if I can't say it well." ”

“…… All right. Meng Fan frowned, he was forced to ask questions, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, and said angrily to the white-robed Taoist priest, "You can ask casually...... Mathematics, physics and chemistry are all fine. ”

The white-robed Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, then laughed, let go of his hand, looked at the sky outside the scripture hall, and said in a loud voice: "The old man traveled through the world just to find an answer to a question. ”

When he said this, he glanced at Old Man Wu again: "Old Dao Wu answered very well, but unfortunately it was not the answer I wanted." After that, his eyes focused on Meng Fan again, "You can answer casually, whether you can talk about it or not, just say what you think in your heart, now I have to ask you...... What is the Heavenly Dao?"

What is the Way of Heaven?

Little Taoist Li was stunned when he heard this, feeling that this question was too large and too general, and it was not easy to answer at all, so he couldn't help but look at Meng Fan, hoping that his senior brother Mengniuba could give a convincing answer......

And the old man Wu, who was hiding on the side, listened, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, walked farther, lowered his head, and continued to pretend to organize the bookshelf.

"Heavenly Dao, ......"

Listening to the question of the white-robed Taoist, Meng Fan wanted to laugh, he couldn't imagine that someone would ask himself such a boring question, the way of heaven is the rule of the universe in terms of scientific explanation, which can be explained clearly in just a few words, if it involves the theoretical concepts of Taoism and Buddhism, it will be even more obscure......

Anyway, if he didn't answer and didn't let him go, Meng Fan was thinking about how to talk nonsense, when the shadow of Zhao Blind, who was pulling erhu in the village, suddenly appeared in front of him, so he smiled and talked nonsense......

"I have a friend who is blind, he can't see the night, he can't see the day, but he has two chickens, and he keeps chickens all day long, and when the chickens crow, he knows that the day is dawn, and when the chickens drill their nests, he knows that it is dark, and what about you, the Taoist, your eyes are very good, you can see the sunrise and sunset, and you can see the black and white of this world clearly, but you go around asking others what is the way of heaven...... Then I'll tell you right now, chickens are the way of heaven. ”

"Chickens are the way of heaven?"

The white-robed Taoist was stunned for a moment, he had never heard such a strange answer, and subconsciously began to analyze Meng Fan's words with his own ideas, wanting to prove that the chicken is not the way of heaven, but the more he analyzed, the more shocked he became, the more he found that the chicken was the way of heaven, and the chicken watched the sun rise, and made the first cry, and then there was an allusion that someone smelled the chicken and danced. Taoguang's vague statement, moreover, chickens will lay eggs, and eggs will give birth to chickens, which is in line with what is said in the Tao Te Ching, human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, and Tao law nature......

The white-robed Taoist frowned, his expression became solemn, and then his body suddenly shook, and he found that the chicken was indeed a living Heavenly Dao!

"Chickens are ...... Heavenly Dao!"

The white-robed Taoist muttered these words, his expression became in a trance, and then he walked out in a daze, and soon disappeared......

Meng Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and found that the Taoist priests' discussions on the scriptures and Taoism were similar to the philosophy classes in the school, they were all metaphysical things, otherwise the "I Ching" would not have said "the metaphysical is the way". In his opinion, these people are a little neurotic.

"Let's go. ”

Meng Fan said a word to Li Yi, and walked out with a move, Li Yi's eyes were full of brilliance, followed closely behind Meng Fan, looked at Meng Fan's back with admiration, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that the chicken is the way of heaven, now I know ......"

"Wait a minute!" At this time, the old man Wu in the Jingtang suddenly popped up and shouted excitedly, "Mengniuba, please stay!" (To be continued.) )
