Chapter 14 Wendao Martial Arts

Luo Chen came to the inner house to find the third aunt Ji, and discussed with the Ji family for a long time, before leaving the old house and coming to the riverside woods alone.

With the Star Devouring Technique, Luo Chen naturally no longer had to cultivate the introductory cultivation method of cultivating the Star Inheritance Fist, but mainly cultivated archery skills.

As the power increases, so does the power of archery. Luo Chen estimated that if he fought against a medium-sized warrior like Xia Xin now, he would not need to spend too much energy at all, and it was not impossible to even kill with one arrow.

Half an hour later, Luo Chen walked out of the woods with a satisfied look.

Lao Tan was still sitting by the river and meditating, and when Luo Chen walked to him, he heard him still muttering something in his mouth: "What is 'Dao'...... 'Dao'?" Where is 'Dao'......

"This Lao Tan is probably blocked by demons!" Luo Chen shook his head secretly and sat down beside Lao Tan.

Luo Chen saw that the scroll in his hand was the "Yi Xue" that his cousin Luo Can often recited, and said with a smile: "Lao Tan, Zeng Zi lives in this Xinglong Town, since you have encountered difficulties in learning, why don't you go and ask him for advice?" ”

"Zengzi?" Lao Tan was stunned at first, and then his expression became strange.

Luo Chen asked in surprise, "Do you know Zengzi?"

Lao Tan smiled: "It's considered to be an acquaintance!"

Luo Chen said: "Zeng Zi is a disciple of the Wendao sage Qiu Fuzi, and "Yi Xue" was compiled by Qiu Fuzi. It's naturally much easier to ask Zengzi for advice than if you were here alone!"

"Wendao Sage?" Lao Tan sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

Lao Tan's disdainful demeanor made Luo Chen wonder. With Luo Can these days, Luo Chen knows some things about Wendao. In the entire Hoshino Continent, it is really a sensational thing that there are still scribes who show disrespect to Qiu Fuzi.

Lao Tan sighed: "What bothers me is the Great Dao. No one can help me!"

"This old tan is by no means simple!" Luo Chen secretly said in his heart: "If you can move him, ask him to teach Luo Canwen Dao, and it can barely be regarded as fulfilling my brother's wish." ”

Lao Tan looked up to the sky and sighed again: "'Dao' is hard to find, 'Dao' is hard to find!"

Luo Chen took over and said, "The Tao is beside you, but you can't see it." ”

Lao Tan smiled and teased: "Xiao Luo, you also know 'Tao'?"

"A little bit of understanding. ”

"Oh?" said Tan laughing.

Literati have always regarded themselves very highly, this Lao Tan has a special identity, and his achievements in literature and Taoism are extremely high, looking at the entire Hoshino Continent, how many people can enter his magic eyes? At this time, Luo Chen, a weak-crowned young man, was ashamed to say that he knew the "Tao", which was more sensational than an ant saying that he could defeat an elephant, which naturally made Lao Tan feel extremely funny.

Lao Tan had a playful look on his face and said, "Then tell me, what is 'Dao'?"

"Everything in the world, since it exists, has its reason, so everything contains the 'Tao'. Luo Chen pointed to the river in front of him and said: "Just like this river, it flows straight down and gathers the lake and the sea, this is its 'way'." Another example is the grass on this river beach, which grows in spring and dies in autumn, this is its 'way'. ”

Lao Tan looked at Luo Chen in surprise, restrained the contemptuous look on his face and pointed to the "Yi Xue" in his hand, and asked: "Master Qiu spent most of his life to govern the Six Classics, and failed to find the 'Great Dao' from it. Then he spent seven years studying the way of the ancient sages, but to no avail. It took another thirteen years to seek the 'Tao' from the changes in the yin and yang of heaven and earth, but it was still unsuccessful. Where is the 'Great Dao', and how can we seek it?"

Luo Chen practiced archery in his previous life, and he was naturally very familiar with Chinese culture, and he was even more verbal about the allusions of the ancient Chinese sages on Taoism and Taoism, saying: "'Dao' is everywhere, and it is found in every grass and tree, not to mention the ancient sages and Yin and Yang heaven and earth. However, he went the wrong way. ”

Lao Tan's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it!"

Luo Chen said with a smile: "The so-called way of the sages is just the old things of the ancient sages, where is the 'way' that accomplishes them? If you seek the Tao in the ancients, you will see idols and worship experience, and you will inevitably be blinded by the holy names of the sages, so how can you see the Tao?"

Lao Tan couldn't wait to ask, "Then where should I seek the 'Tao'?"

"There is a story like this, which may help you. Luo Chen thought of an allusion he had seen in his previous life, and then said: "There is a clear spring, and there is a group of fish living freely in the middle, and they do not interact with each other. One day the spring dried up, and the fish were trapped on the ground together, and they had to use each other's mouth foam to help each other survive. ”

Lao Tan said puzzledly: "It's very touching, but what does this have to do with 'Dao'?"

Luo Chen didn't rush to explain, and continued: "Master Qiu admires benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and righteousness are originally part of human nature, if they are excessively exemplary, they will inevitably fall into great hypocrisy, resulting in hypocrisy and rampant behavior, and everyone will exalt benevolence and righteousness for personal gain." ”

Lao Tan was silent, and gradually, his face showed a thoughtful look, but he couldn't grasp anything.

Luo Chen continued: "Those fish are very touching, but they are not the normal state of life. People would rather forget each other in a peaceful and prosperous world than pray for calamity from heaven so that they can have the opportunity to experience the emotion of helping each other in the midst of tribulation. ”

Lao Tan got up and bowed to Luo Chen, like a pious student, and said respectfully: "Listening to your words is better than studying hard for ten years." Lao Tan was stupid and still confused. What is the 'Tao', please make it clear!"

Luo Chen paused for a moment, and then said heavily: "The Dao is natural, this is the essence of the 'Dao'!"

"The Tao is natural, the Tao is natural, and the Tao is natural......"

Lao Tan muttered to himself, and then fell into a long contemplation.

As soon as the four words "Taoism and Nature" came out, a bright light flashed in Luo Chen's mind, and a trace of enlightenment arose in his heart: "I have understood these truths with Lao Tan before, but I have never experienced them personally, so naturally I can't talk about enlightenment." What is the avenue of martial arts?"

"The martial arts of the stars practiced by the warriors are 'borrowing' the power of the stars. The Xingtian Clan's star-devouring technique is the power of 'stealing' the stars. The Tao is natural, whether it is 'borrowing' or 'stealing', it is definitely not a great way!"

"Then what is the avenue of the Star Martial Dao?"

One old and one young, just sat quietly by the river, forgetting the passage of time.

......

Until the afternoon, Ji didn't see Luo Chen go back to the old house, thinking that something had happened to Luo Chen, so he hurriedly asked Yan Seventeen to go to the river to look for it, and the old servant Chang An and the three other people around Luo Chen also followed.

Seeing Luo Chen and Lao Tan sitting by the river like old monks, Chang An and the others were extremely surprised. Yan Seventeen was even more surprised: "Epiphany?"

When a martial artist reaches the martial arts level, he will continue to perceive the true meaning of the power of the stars, and sometimes he will enter an extremely wonderful realm, which is the so-called epiphany. What made Yan Qiqi feel strange was that the old man was not a martial artist, how could he enter a state of epiphany?

What surprised Yan Seventeen even more was that Luo Chen was clearly just a last-tier martial artist at the martial arts level, how could he enter the state of epiphany that only a martial king-level martial artist would have?

I don't know how long later, a middle-aged man in a gray robe hurriedly came to the river, and when he saw Lao Tan and Luo Chen, he was also taken aback, and stopped far away.

The maid Bei Zhu had sharp eyes, recognized this person at a glance, and said in surprise: "Isn't that Zeng Zi, Mr. Zeng Da?"

Mr. Zeng Da was specially invited to the old mansion a few days ago and gave Luo Can a one-day lecture, and they had all seen it. At this time, after being reminded by Bei Zhu, Yan Qiqi and the others immediately recognized it.

Yan Seventeen is a general-level martial artist, and he can be the general who commands the army when he is placed in the army, but he does not dare to have any slackness in front of Mr. Zeng, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Mr. Zeng Da had a very high status in the Hoshino Continent's Wendao, so he naturally would not take a general-level martial artist like Yan Seventeen in his eyes. After waving his hand indifferently, he looked at the old man intently, his expression was both nervous and excited.

It was getting dark, and Luo Chen and Lao Tan opened their eyes almost at the same time. The two saw each other's clear and pure eyes, clear and transparent, and they were not in the way. Although there is no change in the bodies of the two, the temperament of the whole person gives people a feeling of rebirth.

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Lao Tan also smiled and said, "Tongxi!"

Lao Tan stood up and gave Luo Chen a deep look, Luo Chen held Lao Tan with both hands, and said with a smile: "You have understood the Tao of Literature, and I have also understood the Tao of Martial Arts, so you don't need to thank me." ”

Lao Tan said: "Qiu Tan went astray in the Wendao, if it weren't for your order, Tan would have had nothing to do with the Dao in this life and this life." This gift is not to thank you, but to worship the teacher. ”

Luo Chen laughed: "You are really Qiu Fuzi!"

This old tan is the leader of the Hoshino Continent's Wendao, Qiu Fuzi Qiu Tan.

Qiu Fuzi smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "The so-called leader of Wendao is just touted by the literati, and it is not worth a shame in front of Luo Shi!"

Hearing that Qiu Fuzi changed his words to call himself a teacher, Luo Chen dared to hold it up, and said with a smile: "Qiu Fuzi, who is respected as a teacher by all the scholars in the world, if you worship me as a teacher, I am afraid that all the scholars in the world will drown me with spitting stars, I can't stand it." ”

Mr. Zeng Da walked over and laughed loudly: "Congratulations teacher, today you have realized the Great Dao, the world is the Dao, and there will be another Wensheng since then!"

"It's just enlightenment, you still need to preach the Tao to attain the Tao, and it's still far from being a teacher. Qiu Fuzi smiled indifferently and said, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, Xiao Zeng, the teacher who is also a teacher is a courtesy." ”

Mr. Zeng Da was stunned.

Although Mr. Zeng Da's achievements in literature and Taoism are not as good as those of Qiu Fuzi, he is also a famous scribe in the Great Yan Kingdom, and is respected as the leader of the Yan Kingdom, otherwise he would not be crowned with the honorific title of "son".

At this time, Qiu Fuzi actually let him greet a young man, how could he pull his face?

Qiu Fuzi realized the avenue today, and he will definitely become a saint in the future, and at this time, he actually respected a hairy boy as a teacher, so how can Mr. Zeng not be surprised?
