Chapter 25: The Heart of the Dao
Dizzy, when Lin Ning opened his eyes again, he had already come to a dilapidated ancestral hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. [ ] [Book House (7764)]
Looking around, Lin Ning saw that this ancestral hall, surrounded by verdant forests, looked out, self-contained, quite a bit of isolation, and did not know how many springs and autumns this ancestral hall was built, red bricks and glass, crawling all kinds of vines, and the dilapidated brick wall was completely dyed green.
Looking around, in the ancestral hall, a plaque hung obliquely on the door frame, not a square circle, can still faintly see the three words of Tiandao Hall, and in the inside, Lin Ning can see that a tall Taoist clay statue with ten people is located here, just a spider web wall, dust and fall, extremely vicissitudes of life.
It made Lin Ning feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Tiandao Hall used to be a place where people in the world worshiped Daojun, but now that the Dao Law has declined, no one is willing to worship Daojun and participate in the Taoist scriptures." The old man's voice was full of sighs, this voice, coming from behind Lin Ning, seemed to be thousands of miles away at first, but in an instant, it was already close at hand.
When I followed the sound, I saw a figure coming out of the woods.
The person who walked out, at first glance, was an old man who had passed his prime, his back was a little hunched, and he was wearing an inconspicuous gray robe, if it weren't for the fact that the robe was embroidered with a picture of Tai Chi Liangyi, Lin Ning almost thought that his clothes were borrowed from other beggars. The gray hair was tied back at random, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes were deep, but Lin Ning could faintly feel a great wisdom and foolishness, and under the great wisdom and foolishness, bursts of chilling light were transmitted, this kind of eyes were different from Lin Tian's murderous cold light, and his eyes contained the word Dadao.
Exist for the Tao, seek for the Tao.
He walked leisurely with his back bent, but Lin Ning felt a burst of coercion, like a Mount Tai, pressing towards him step by step, making him even breathe a little short.
Fortunately, Lin Ning's nine palaces are in his body, which is different from ordinary people, and after self-adjustment, he will recover as before. At this time, he can be regarded as feeling the true cultivation of the old way, and for him now, he can only be described as unfathomable.
When the boy saw him coming, he saluted him, and then stepped aside.
"Boy Lin Ning was invited by his predecessors to come, and he was polite." Lin Ning also arched his hand at him, but Lao Dao smiled disapprovingly: "Lin Ning? That's a good name. As soon as he finished speaking, he was extremely surprised, a little puzzled, and a little surprised, and his face was really wonderful.
The temporary change not only puzzled Dao Tong, but also made Lin Ning suspicious.
Regardless of the doubts of the two, Lao Dao grabbed Lin Ning's wrist with lightning speed, and actually took his pulse for him without saying a word.
After a long time, Lao Dao touched his gray beard and smiled heartily: "Okay, it's really a Dao root, the five elements lack gold, and the qualifications are mediocre, so it's not good." He smiled and nodded his head with three good words in a row, looking extremely satisfied.
Although he said that he was not good, his happy appearance could be seen by anyone, and he was not good, but for him, it was already excellent.
When the Taoist boy on the side heard the word Daogen, his ears moved, and he smiled: "Master, it seems that the heavens will not destroy my sect!" β
"yes!" Old Dao sighed to the sky, but instead sighed at the vicissitudes of eternity, "Before leaving, Elder Qingyuan instructed me to find someone with a Dao body no matter what, so that there is hope to save my sect from fire and water!" β
When mentioning Elder Qingyuan, Lin Ning noticed that an imperceptible hint of fear flashed in Lao Dao's eyes, which surprised Lin Ning.
When he first saw the old way, it made Lin Ning feel that this person's indifference in walking in heaven and earth and reaching the peak could make a person so indifferent and ambitious be afraid, so what kind of Qingyuan elder in his mouth was sacred?
Not to mention this person, the conversation between the two just now, a fool can hear it, this is clearly to send a big responsibility to the Si people, and this Si people are themselves.
Suddenly, Lao Dao turned around suddenly, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Lin Ning and said: "For thousands of years, my Dao Sect has been declining day by day, especially in the last few hundred years, it has changed from a prosperous immortal family to a third-rate Nine Sects, and even worse, if it weren't for the help of all the elders in the sect, I'm afraid my Dao Sect has already ......."
Before he finished speaking, he already revealed endless sadness.
"Until a few months ago, Dongshuo led to the south, and the Dao star loomed, this is the image of the Dao Law rising from the east, the Dao Law has been in decline for thousands of years, and now it is finally going to make a comeback, and the restoration of my Dao Sect is just around the corner!" In the eyes of the old man, the essence flashed, and when he looked at Lin Ning again, his relief was fully revealed.
After finishing speaking, Lin Ning didn't know what to say, it turned out that the token given to him by Lao Dao was the important task entrusted to him, and now that the palace is not finished, if he takes over this responsibility, it is too rash, and if he refuses in person, it is not suitable.
What a dilemma!
Lao Dao put his hands behind his back, sighed, and said to Lin Ning very solemnly: "Remember, from today onwards, you must not let the second person know about the fact that you have a Dao root, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." β
Lin Ning nodded thoughtfully, and the old Dao breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that the demons are in trouble, the immortal path is poor, and the immortal cultivation world is not very peaceful, if the people of the Demon Sect know the Dao root, not only my Dao Sect, but also thousands of Dao Immortal Families, will suffer or even be destroyed, so absolutely, you must not let the second person outside of this know, do you understand?" β
The two absolutes, said so earnestly, Lin Ning no longer talked nonsense, since he was ordered by Tianzun to grant the spiritual root, as if he had jumped from a mortal to an immortal, then reviving the Dao Sect was naturally his ultimate mission.
Since it is a mission, death cannot be shirked.
Facing the ardent expectations of the old Dao, facing the lingering breath of the Three Thousand Avenues, such a heavy task, this suffering, Lin Ning gritted his teeth and had to resist it.
In this regard, Lin Ning bowed very solemnly to the old way, "The seniors please accept the gifts of the juniors, the seniors are so well-intentioned, how can the juniors not be treated, and moreover, if it is not for the two pills of the seniors, don't say that the immortals, the juniors are still just useless mortals, decades later, but a cup of dust, since the juniors have received the orders of the seniors, please rest assured that the seniors have said, keep in mind what the seniors said." β
His words belong to the heart, every sentence from the heart, these words are his heartfelt words, and what makes him even more admired is that in today's world, the Tao is so down, but this sect still adheres to the Tao, never abandons, respects the Taoist, looks for allusions, and seeks the Tao wholeheartedly.
This Dao heart, how can it be compared to those demons and evil sects?
When he was confused on the road ahead, the old way's orders showed him the way and illuminated the lamp for him.
At this moment, Lin Ning really made up his mind, a few days ago, he had just obtained the spiritual root, and he had not heard of the spiritual root, so he didn't know why, he still had some memories of the mortal world, but today's old Taoist words made him completely understand that people and immortals have different paths and do not return to the same road.
If the Taoism is poor, it will be thousands of years, and the heavy responsibility is oneself, and asking for eternity is one's ultimate destination.
Listening to Lin Ning's commensurate with his predecessors, the old Taoist was really relieved, he seemed to have seen that the Dao Sect at the end of the road had flourished in the world.
Lao Dao's eyes were gratified, but he smiled indifferently: "Today's farewell, my master and apprentice will wander the world, hidden in the world, for your Taoist body, will never mention half a word, so, before leaving, the old man has a few things to tell you, can do some modest help for you on the road of cultivating immortals in the future." β
Between his nods, the solemnity was even more serious, and even the wrinkles on his face were more profound because of it.
Seeing this, Lin Ning also waited solemnly, he knew that what Lao Dao did next was the most important thing for this purpose......
