Ye Lin looked at the middle-aged scribe in front of him with burning eyes.

Miao Chenglong looked at Ye Lin and said indifferently: "You shouted wrong, it should be Teacher Miao." ”

Among the six people sitting in the hall, a purple-clothed young man stood up, he looked at Ye Lin coldly, and said, "Teacher Miao's name is something you can call at will." ”

Yes, Teacher Miao's name is what you can call at will, and everyone echoed it, and their faces all showed indignation.

Ye Lin opened his mouth, and finally closed it slowly, and then he arched his hand and said, "Teacher Miao!"

When Miao Chenglong heard Ye Lin call himself Teacher Miao, he couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and children can be taught!"

His gaze shifted to the fat monk again, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The fat monk scratched his bald head, folded his hands, and said, "Buddha three withered"

If the Buddha cries, will the Buddha cry too?

Buddha Sankut shook his head and said, "Master Miao is wrong, it's not the three crying, but the three withering, the withering of the dead wood!"

Miao Chenglong understood, and then his eyes fell on Ye Lin's body, and said, "This is ......"

Ye Lin glared at Miao Chenglong and said slowly: "Knowingly ask." ”

Miao Chenglong frowned, and said to the young man in the hall: "Third child, what is the culpability in the Five Ancestors Xianting Court if you contradict the teacher in front and refuse to answer the name in the back." ”

The young man named Lao San glanced at Ye Lin coldly and said, "Contradicting the teacher, refusing to answer the teacher's words, and being punished with thirty lashes." ”

As soon as Ye Lin heard the whipping, he immediately bowed down and said, "Student Ye Lin." ”

Miao Chenglong listened to Ye Lin's words, nodded, and said: "Nian'er's first offense, I will not be held accountable, and if I commit it again next time, I will be punished for several crimes!"

Ye Lin's complexion changed slightly.

Find a place to sit down, what we are talking about today is the technique, Miao Chenglong pointed to the seat in the corner, and took the ring ruler to draw a circle on the sand on the ground.

The art follows the practice, which is the creation of thinking through and following the path.

Then what is a great technique? Miao Chenglong pointed to the circle above the ground and said to the eight people in the hall.

For a long time, no one spoke, and they all looked at the ground with puzzled expressions.

Miao Chenglong said indifferently: "The emperor's art is a technique, the so-called great thing of the human master, illegal is also a technique!"

For ordinary people, there are also gentlemen who exercise power, and they are saying that they are standing arts.

While listening, Ye Lin took his hand and drew a circle on the sandy ground of the ground, the sky is square, the earth is round, this is nature, nature is close to the Tao.

Isn't this technique the same as the Tao, and is the Tao a technique?

He glanced at Fang Yuan on the ground with some suspicion, and immediately said in a deep voice, "The student has questions. ”

Miao Chenglong saw Ye Lin speak, and couldn't help but pause, and then said slowly: "What questions do you have?" ”

I heard the teacher's speech, but from the technique, I seem to be able to feel the traces of the Tao, the Tao is close to nature, close to the primitive, this technique, as if everywhere, there is a hundred wins of the technique, and there is wisdom and shallow skills, and there is a stabbing technique, if the technique becomes a rule, the rules are born in a circle, it is not a Tao, dare to ask the teacher, what is the technique, what is the Tao.

Miao Chenglong nodded lightly and said with a smile: "What this student said is to the point. ”

However, there is an essential difference between art and Tao, and it is enough to distinguish between the two if there is Tao and no art.

The sorcerer can still ask for it, and using the Tao to control the art is the supreme way.

To put it simply, art is the method, and the Tao is the system.

This is like this ruler, if there are two people competing for the ruler, then these two people will have opposition and contradictions, if both of them do not want to give each other, or they have the heart to swallow, then there must be a benefit of one party is based on the other party's victimization, then the two can discuss, or reason, or balance the distribution, this will use the technique.

Art is more focused on practicality, while Tao is the source and essence of things.

Shu is ability, method, strategy, and Tao is the system.

Heaven and earth last, the Tao is the foundation, the art is to survive, and the wonderful Chenglong said in a deep voice.

After listening to Miao Chenglong's words, Ye Lin couldn't help but fall into thought.

After half a ring, he woke up and said, "The students have benefited." ”

Next, Miao Chenglong's gaze fell on the others.

Why don't you understand, don't understand, it doesn't hurt to be blunt, Miao Chenglong held the ring ruler in his hand, and erased the traces of the square circle drawn by the sand and stone on the ground.

Dare to ask the teacher, in ancient times, the master used the Tao, the middle man used the technique, and the subordinate used force, what is the interpretation of these three sentences, and it was the Buddha Sanku, who was sitting next to Ye Lin, who spoke.

Miao Chenglong pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Tao is the law of things, master the law, follow the law, you can achieve the goal." ”

Technique is skill, intelligence, and the use of one's own mastery to solve problems.

Force, refers to brute force, people under people, only brute force, so every time, the person who follows the law is the master, the one who uses skill is the middle person, and the one who uses brute force is the inferior person.

You understand, Miao Chenglong said.

After being taught, the Buddha folded his hands together and bowed to Miao Chenglong.

Immediately afterwards, others asked some questions about art and Taoism, as well as some arguments for using Taoism to control techniques, but these were explained clearly by Miao Chenglong through visual metaphors.

Ye Lin also sincerely admires Mr. Teaching, what problems, when they come to him, they seem to be simplified, and they can be explained clearly in just a few words.

The eight people in the hall listened to it with relish and unconsciously fell into it.

For a long time, the whole room was debating with each other.

At this moment, a person walked in outside the house, laughed and said: "Senior Brother Miao has not entered the WTO for many years, but this WTO accession has made the world amazed again and again. ”

The voice came, and the figure walked in slowly.

The crowd immediately stopped arguing, and their eyes fell on the figure.

But when I saw this figure, it was about seven feet tall, with purple hair, a dustwhisk in his hand, and he was wearing a purple Xia Taoist robe, which looked like a fairy wind and bones.

Miao Chenglong looked at the Taoist and couldn't help but lose his voice.

He immediately walked down the steps, walked to the Taoist's side with a little excitement, and gave the Taoist a big bear hug.

The man also patted Miao Chenglong's shoulder lightly, and said, "Senior brother, are there any future students watching here?" Don't lose your courtesy. ”

Miao Chenglong's body paused slightly, and said, "It's okay, you are not outsiders, you are all my disciples." ”

After a long time, the two separated.

After a long time of farewell from our junior and younger brothers, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, Miao Chenglong sighed.

Xuzhen nodded and said, "That letter, senior brother still used it after all, so you are willing to return here." ”

Miao Chenglong let out a long sigh and said, "It's just a matter of trust, even if there is no self here, there is no loss, isn't it?"

Xuzhen paused slightly, and sighed: "It seems that Senior Brother is still thinking about that matter, even after so many years, you still can't let go." ”

Miao Chenglong's eyes had a hint of gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to let go, if I hadn't figured it out, I wouldn't have come here with your book." ”

Don't talk about these anymore, you and my brothers are reunited, when you have a few drinks, Miao Chenglong changed the topic.

Wonderful, wonderful, the Void True Daoist stroked his palms and smiled.

Miao Chenglong glanced at the many disciples, and immediately spoke: "You guys have a discussion here, and when it is evening, you can disperse." ”

After he instructed everyone, he followed Xuzhen out of the house.

Everyone in the room saluted the two of them, and immediately sat down together again, talking about it.

At this time, Buddha Sankut poked Ye Lin's arm and said in a deep voice: "The Taoist named Xuzhen just now is an immortal in the Bixiao Realm. ”

Ye Lin glanced at Buddha Sanku, and said in surprise: "He didn't show up in the Heavenly Palace, how do you know." ”

Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Palace is just a simple way to discriminate, and there are higher ways to discriminate, but you don't know it.

Then how did you identify it, Ye Lin said curiously.

You want to know, Buddha Sankut blinked his eyes and looked at Ye Lin with a smile.

Naturally, Ye Lin said without thinking.

I won't tell you, the Buddha Sanku opened his mouth in a serious way.

The smile on Ye Lin's face receded, and he snorted coldly: "If you don't tell, you won't tell, who rarely says it." ”

Buddha San said with a dry smile: "Just kidding, Brother Ye must not take it seriously." ”

The reason why I didn't tell you is because this is the secret method I learned, where the door of life is, it is really inconvenient, and the Buddha Sanku opened his mouth a little embarrassed.

Ye Lin looked at him like this, but he also looked sincere, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't care about what he was teasing him just now.

Where did Brother Ye come to the Five Ancestors Virtuous Court?

I am a nether monk, and I came from the tribulation, Ye Lin said slowly.

Nether Monk, Buddha San Ku frowned, I heard that it is extremely difficult for Nether Monks to cultivate to become immortals.

That's true, but even if it's difficult, we people in the lower realm will always aim to cultivate into immortals, and I am no exception, Ye Lin's eyes have a hint of yearning.

You people in the lower realm, you are really persistent, and the Buddha said slowly.

Where are you from, Brother Buddha, Ye Lin looked at Buddha Sanku.

I am from Daxitian, when I first entered the Buddha's door, because the six roots were not purified, I was driven out by the Buddha, and I had nowhere to go, so I could only come to the Five Ancestors Xianting to eat.

When Ye Lin heard this, he nodded and said, "The six roots are not pure, I don't know which one is not purified." ”

Buddha Sanku was slightly stunned, and said coldly: "Brother Ye, you are ridiculing me." ”

Immediately, he said generously: "The Buddha drinks wine in a big bowl and eats meat." ”

It turned out that he had committed a meat precept, Ye Lin said with a smile.

Yes, Buddhism is a peaceful place, I, a man of wine and meat, naturally it is difficult to stay in Buddhism for a long time, and the Buddha couldn't help but sigh.

How is the strength of the Great Western Heaven Buddha compared to the five ancestors of the Five Ancestors Virtuous Court, Ye Lin said in a deep voice.

Buddha Sanku was slightly stunned and explained: "The Buddha is not a family, and the two are naturally not comparable. ”

If you compare it with Buddhism, it is natural that the Buddha's mana is incomparable, and if you compare it with Taoism, the strength of the five ancestors has a slight advantage.

Ye Lin thought about it, and felt that there was some truth in what the Buddha said about the three withering, after all, the two are not in the same system, Buddhism pays attention to the method of opening dependent origination, compassion for the heart, and purifying all sentient beings.

The Taoist method is to conform to the law of all things and cultivate one's self-cultivation.

It was my words that were abrupt, Ye Lin listened to the words of the Buddha and arched his hand.

Buddha Sankut also clasped his hands together and nodded.
