Yuan Yiqing, who had restored his original appearance, returned to the dilapidated Guanyu in the mountains with the prepared medicinal materials.

Forehead...... It can't be said that it is a dilapidated Guanyu, if it weren't for Yuan Yiqing's memory clearly remembering the original location, he would not have been able to think of the dilapidated Guanyu two days ago when he saw the new and quiet Guanyu in front of him.

"Master, are you in there?" Yuan Yiqing shouted outside the door of Guanyu.

Yuan Tiangang, who was cleaning with a broom in the view, heard a familiar voice from outside, turned to look at the gate, and asked back as he walked over there: "Is it Yiqing?" ”

"It's me, Master!" Yuan Yiqing outside the door replied.

Yuan Tiangang opened the door of Guanyu and let Yuan Yiqing in.

"Master, the medicinal herbs for your wounds are ready!" Yuan Yiqing walked in with a smile, and at the same time shook his hand at Yuan Tiangang and showed the cloth bag in his hand.

"Thank you, Yiqing." Yuan Tiangang said thank you.

He didn't ask Yuan Yiqing where he got the medicinal materials, but he knew that Yuan Yiqing was a person with a bottom line and would not satisfy himself in a way that went against his heart.

"Master, aren't you and I masters and apprentices?! As an apprentice, it is right to care about the master! Yuan Yiqing placed the things in his hand properly, turned his head to Yuan Tiangang and asked, "It's you, Master, have you recovered from your injuries?" Just messing around? What if the wound breaks open again? ”

"Master, Master has already recovered, and his injuries have almost healed in the past two days, and for people like us, his body is much better than ordinary people, isn't it?" Yuan Tiangang replied with a smile.

"Moreover, Master is a Taoist priest! Now that you have encountered it, how can you let this view of the universe fall and let the gods be dusted!

This temple is the home of our Taoists! ”

"Can we also wait for the disciples to come back and do these things together? Master, you're sick. ”

Yuan Yiqing also picked up a broom, came to the courtyard, and said with a smile.

"It's not too late, is it?" Yuan Tiangang also replied with a smile.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and began to clean up silently.

After the master and apprentice finished cleaning, the sky began to drizzle, and the two stood under the eaves of the well-groomed hall, looking at the quiet and hazy view of the universe in the rain.

"It seems that you and I, the master and apprentice, have reorganized this view, and the gods have a feeling, and the dragon king has also come to help with rain." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

"Master, is there really a dragon in this world?" Yuan Yiqing heard Yuan Tiangang's words, thinking that his current body seemed to be a combination of a human and a yellow dragon, so he turned his head and asked Yuan Tiangang curiously.

"Yes!" Yuan Tiangang replied in the affirmative. "Although Master, I have never seen a true dragon with a head but no tail, but Jiaolong has still seen a lot.

Just like the dragon king of the rivers and the dragon king of the lake and the sea who are in charge of a region and the clouds and rain in the mythology of ordinary people, they are all dragons with the blood of a true dragon, although they have not cultivated the body of a real dragon, but they should not be underestimated. ”

"So, has Master heard of the real dragon in this world?" Yuan Yiqing then asked.

"Yes! For example, the sacred beast of the eastern land, the god of benevolence in charge of life - Canglong, the god of heaven who opens his eyes for day and closes his eyes for night, and the god of heaven who is covered with yin and yang qi - Candle Dragon, and the god of the universe who symbolizes the imperial power of the world and covers the body of Xuanhuang - Huanglong. ”

"Huanglong?!" Yuan Yiqing was slightly stunned.

Yuan Tiangang didn't notice Yuan Yiqing's abnormality on the side, and continued to tell calmly:

"Legend has it that the dragon lives in the extreme east, maintaining the cycle of life in the world, the candle dragon is above the nine heavens, maintaining day and night, and the four seasons change, and the yellow dragon, which symbolizes the imperial power of the world, is the most mysterious, with the changes of the dynasty and difficult to find, will only appear in the troubled times, appear in the future founding king.

Now it's troubled times again!

To tell the truth, the teacher came out of the mountain at this time in order to find the true dragon in the troubled times, guide him to the maze, calm the world as soon as possible, and solve the suffering of all the people. ”

Listening to Yuan Tiangang's frank words, Yuan Yiqing suddenly thought of a saying that he often heard in later generations, and he asked curiously: "Master, are you doing this in order to achieve the merit of the dragon, so that Taoism can get a stable living environment in the new dynasty and not be destroyed by the new ruler?"

Is this also true of Buddha's teachings? After all, throughout the ages, many rulers have promoted the destruction of the Tao and the Buddha. ”

Yuan Yiqing sneered, and he asked rhetorically: "Yiqing, do you think that fame and fortune in the world are useful to us people?"

Everything is just for the sake of self-cultivation.

The emperor of the world destroys the Buddha and destroys the Tao, what does it have to do with us and other people in the cultivation? Heaven and earth are so big, where can we not stand?

For us, inheritance is the most important thing, and as long as the Taoist classics are handed down to the world one day, there will never be a shortage of successors in the future.

People who like to do this kind of speculative thing are just people who are immersed in fame and fortune and don't want to think about it.

Lotus, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, in Confucianism symbolizes the gentleman; In the five turbid and evil worlds without staining Zhuo, experience and achievement, in Taoism symbolizes the practitioner; In Buddhism, the symbolism of the lotus flower is even more.

Uninfected, stay authentic! This is also the reason why the three religions all use the lotus flower as a symbol. ”

"So that's the case......" Yuan Yiqing nodded thoughtfully.

"If there are too many things mixed in with a goal, it will change the original direction and original intention." Yuan Tiangang admonished: "Especially for us cultivators, on the way to reach the goal, we will be tested more.

If you lose yourself, it will be difficult to get out of it and return to the original direction.

Because, we are human beings!! ”

"I see, Master." Yuan Yiqing nodded.

"This is the first lesson that the teacher will officially teach you, and from tomorrow onwards, you will practice with the teacher.

As a person in the Daomen, but he doesn't know anything about the Daomen, it's a bit embarrassing to go out in front of his fellow Daoists. Yuan Tiangang said to Yuan Yiqing beside him.

"Got it, Master." Yuan Yiqing nodded solemnly, then asked curiously with a smile: "So, Master, is this a disciple who has officially entered your sect?" ”

"Hmm!" Yuan Tiangang snorted and said seriously: "However, if you don't follow the master to practice well, the master will expel you from the door wall!" ”

"Disciple remember!" Yuan Yiqing bent over.

"Now, Master, let the disciple boil the medicine for you!"

"Okay, let the teacher show you your Qihuang technique." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile, and the master and apprentice picked up the medicinal materials and came to the Dan room behind the main hall.

When Yuan Yiqing was boiling medicine, Yuan Tiangang gave him some Taoist knowledge: "This view of the universe is a temple of descendants, a temple that can be passed on between master and apprentice, and there is also a jungle temple of ten directions, which belongs to all the Taoists in the world."

It is estimated that the original heir of this temple has passed away, and no heir has been found, so it has been abandoned like this.

But now, when we meet our master and apprentice, it is equivalent to this temple, which we will continue to pass on! ”
