Chapter 172: One Heart to the Dao
Jiang Longyu watched Chu Qiguang burn incense and pray in front of the demon slaying talisman, but it never caused any change, and said strangely in his heart: "Could it be that the power of the demon slaying talisman has been exhausted?"
Most of the other students also had such thoughts, after all, they didn't believe in Xuanyuan Daozun in this era...... Especially those who practice martial arts...... In most people's eyes, it is simply impossible.
Zhao Lingxiao's face changed slightly, he stepped forward to respectfully check the demon slaying talisman, and then looked at Chu Qiguang's gaze with a fierce meaning.
Zhao Lingxiao opened his mouth and said, "You try again." ”
Chu Qiguang had no choice but to burn incense and pray at the demon slaying talisman again, but he knew that it would be useless to try no matter how many times, he didn't believe in Xuanyuan Daozun at all.
Especially through the eyes of the seeker, after he saw the strangeness in the demon slaying talisman, it was even more difficult for him to believe in the Dao Venerable.
"Fortunately, this is the Demon Suppression Division, not the Heavenly Master. Not believing in the words of the Daozun is not a heinous capital crime. But in this case, my evaluation in the Demon Suppression Division will also be lowered, right?'
It may affect my qualification to cultivate the Four Absolute Perfections. ’
Jiang Longyu on the other side stared at the demon slaying talisman that was still unresponsive, and said in shock: "Chu Qiguang, you don't even believe in Xuanyuan Daozun?"
Li He also looked at this scene with some incredulity: "The Third Realm of Martial Arts...... The Third Realm of Cultivation ...... In the case of never forgetting, he still doesn't believe in Xuanyuan Daozun? He hasn't even entered the demon yet...... No...... Maybe he could fall into the devil at any moment. ’
Thinking of this, Li He looked at Chu Qiguang with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Chi Shude glared angrily at Chu Qiguang, hating in his heart: 'This guy ...... Just now, he even pretended to be so pious, trying to disguise himself as a believer? This kind of person who does not believe in the Tao will be infected by demons and die in the future, and I will regard him as an opponent. ’
Huang Xiangyu, who originally wanted to hug Chu Qiguang's thigh, was also stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't expect Chu Qiguang to not believe in Daozun.
The first thing he thought of was not the risk of falling into the devil, but the prospect of officialdom in the future.
'In the court, everyone believes in Taoism...... This is not a believer...... It's just an outlier among the other, isn't it going to be ostracized everywhere?'
Huang Xiangyu thought about it carefully: "This is much more troublesome than offending the Tianyu School, offending the Tianyu School, there are other schools to rely on, but this is simply ...... if you don't believe in Daozun'
Huang Xiangyu sighed, he didn't understand how Chu Qiguang could not believe in Daozun.
Zhao Lingxiao, who was teaching on the other side, glared at Chu Qiguang, thinking about the pious appearance of the other party just now, and he was angry.
But when I thought about it, I thought of the other party's talent and qualifications, and I fell in love with each other.
"Wouldn't it be a pity not to believe in Dao Zun for such a genius?" Zhao Lingxiao sighed secretly in his heart: "As a disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect, I came here to this Chaoyao Mountain to preach the teachings of Dao Zun in the Demon Suppression Division, and I want to guide them well for firm believers like Chi Shude and Jiang Longyu." ’
But Chu Qiguang is such an ignorant and untrustworthy person...... Am I not going to teach?'
'No...... The more backward he is, the more he needs me to lead him to the right path. ’
This may also be the test that Dao Zun has put on me. ’
Thinking of this, Zhao Lingxiao looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him, like looking at a lost lamb.
He pulled Chu Qiguang to the side: "Chu Qiguang ꓹ Daozun has mercy, so that you rarely have extraordinary talents and qualifications. ”
"But if you don't believe in the Tao, you will be in danger of falling into demons in the future. ”
"Now out of the 32 students, you have fallen to the last place in the faith, do you understand?"
Chu Qiguang looked at Zhao Lingxiao, who was talking to him non-stop, and felt like he had met a high school homeroom teacher who was persuading poor students.
He was helpless in his heart, but he still kept nodding on the surface, and said in an anxious tone: "Daoist Zhao! I really want to believe in Xuanyuan Daozun, but I don't know why...... The magic charm just didn't respond. ”
Zhao Lingxiao looked at his attitude and nodded secretly, The runaway young man in front of him still has the possibility of saving.
So Zhao Lingxiao said: "You still know that you are in a hurry." ”
"If you want to achieve something, you have to have strong faith so that you don't waste your talent. ”
"From this day onwards, you recite the Tao with me every day. ”
"I will not watch you go astray. ”
'Damn!' Chu Qiguang scolded secretly in his heart, he was extremely unwilling to spend time reading any Taoist scriptures.
But at this moment, looking at Zhao Lingxiao, who was looking at him with a seductive face, he could only agree to it.
Seeing that Chu Qiguang had a positive heart towards the Dao, Zhao Lingxiao was very satisfied.
Chu Qiguang's head was spinning, thinking about how to turn a crisis into an opportunity.
He didn't want to spend a lot of time with Zhao Lingxiao every day in the next year, praying, burning incense, and chanting scriptures.
Because Chu Qiguang really knows himself too well, let alone a year...... Even if he gets it for another three or five years, he is unlikely to believe in a certain god.
Belief in gods is such a thing as a man who has been educated in science since he was a child...... It's just too hard.
To believe in the Dao Zun is simply to let him forcibly distort his character.
What's more, he also saw the anomaly in the demon slaying talisman through the eyes of the seeker.
In this case, it is even more difficult for him to believe.
After thinking for a while, Chu Qiguang had an idea in his mind: "The number of Taoist scriptures taught by the Heavenly Master is quite a lot......
The Heavenly Master Sect has spread the world for so many years, and the number of Taoist scriptures is naturally quite large. From the compilation of various Taoist remarks to the writing of the history of the sect, as well as the experience of studying the Taoist scriptures in all dynasties...... This is also a huge knowledge base and historical database.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Lingxiao: "Daoist Zhao, I was born in a remote village since I was a child, and my family doesn't have much silver to offer to the Taoist temple. ”
"So since I was a child, I haven't been to the Taoist temple a few times, and I haven't had the opportunity to read a few more classics in the sect to understand the wisdom and supernatural powers of the Taoist Venerable. ”
Chu Qiguang said with a sad face: "I think it is precisely because of this that I am insincere. ”
Zhao Lingxiao listened to what he said sincerely, nodded secretly, and felt that what Chu Qiguang said was very reasonable.
'If Chu Qiguang wants to read more Taoist classics, as long as he understands the greatness of Daozun and sees the vastness of Daozun's wisdom, he will naturally convert to our religion and sincerely believe in Daozun. ’
Thinking of this, Zhao Lingxiao asked the other students to recite the Taoist scriptures first, and he himself pulled Chu Qiguang to the study behind the Taoist temple.
"From today onwards, you will study the Tao Sutra here every day, and if you encounter something you don't understand, I will explain it to you personally. ”
Looking at the study in front of him, Chu Qiguang suddenly felt a hot breath coming from the Circle of Foolishness, and he immediately understood...... There is also knowledge in the study of this Taoist temple, which the Circle of Fools desires.
Sure enough...... I was right, the Heavenly Master Sect is also one of the major sects, and since the knowledge of other sects can attract the attention of the Circle of Fools, the Heavenly Master Sect can naturally do it. ’
