Chapter 40: The Threshold of the Heavenly Dao

Wuling County is not big to say, there are only nine towns. Compared to other counties in Taiwu Province, it is significantly smaller.

The standard configuration of large counties is generally more than thirteen towns.

In Great Xia, the size of a county is not determined by the economy and geographical location, but by the number of Wendao monks.

Lin Yu also knew from the county records that there were only nine Wendao monks in Wuling County, and they each governed a small town.

And because the Fang family has a Wendao monk, they can occupy Yichuan Town and make the Fang family one of the three major families in Wuling County.

As for who the Fang family's Wendao monk was, Lin Yu searched through the book of the county chronicles, but he couldn't find an accurate answer.

Obviously, although the county chronicles are to introduce some celebrities and events in Wuling County, they are hidden from the high-ranking Wendao monks.

"Brother Wendao, what kind of experience is that......

Lin Yu muttered in a low voice, reading can absorb talent, this is already very wonderful to him, not to mention the Wendao monk who is respected by all literati and scholars, what kind of situation will it be?

At least, Lin Yu had a fire in his heart, and he wanted to climb it.

"Wuling County has a population of 10 million, and there are only nine Wendao monks, but there are millions of talented scribes. This is how thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Zhao Shi's voice sounded, waking Lin Yu up from his state of trance, and hearing Zhao Shi's words, Lin Yu was also slightly shocked in his heart.

With a probability of one in a million, this is really not an ordinary difficulty.

"In the book, it is said that he is talented, and he is almost half a Wendao monk, and Master Zhao is already in this realm now, right?"

When Lin Yu saw Zhao Shi wake up, he wanted to learn more about things related to Wen Dao.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, a gloomy look obviously appeared in Zhao Shi's eyes, he turned his head to look at Lin Yu, and said leisurely: "For the teacher to open the literary skills when he was young, just like you, the second-class and third-class talent palace, but the talent is obviously not as good as you, and the teacher was already talented when he was sixteen years old, and he was talented at the age of thirty...... Now nearly sixty, half a foot in the ground, still standing still, there is no hope in this life......"

"Thirty Years ......"

Lin Yu's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that Zhao Shi had been talented thirty years ago, and he was still talented now.

"Brother Wendao...... How difficult it is to enter the Tao from the text, what is the Tao? It is the way of heaven, and the literati who can touch a trace of the way of heaven are not the posture of heaven......

Master Zhao smiled bitterly: "Lin Yu, although your talent is good, but if you want to enter the Dao with Wen, unless you can find a Wendao monk as your master, only by understanding his mental method, you will have a glimmer of life......"

"But isn't there a Wendao monk in the Fang family?" Lin Yu was puzzled.

There is a Wendao monk in the Fang family, so if he takes out his mental method book and gives it to the clansmen for enlightenment, wouldn't everyone have hope?

"Haha......"

Zhao Shi laughed, he looked at Lin Yu and said: "The mind method of the Wendao monk can only be inherited by one person, and the probability of failure is very high, and the person of the Fang family, not everyone can get his inheritance, and now the Fang family's most promising inheritance is Fang Shijie." ”

"I see. ”

Lin Yu finally understood, no wonder there were only nine Wendao monks in the huge Wuling County, and it turned out that the talent and heart method were the most important.

Each Wendao monk has the qualification of a mental method inheritance, which can directly help talented people touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao.

But if you want to get this inheritance, you are not a person with a talent against the sky, once the inheritance fails, it will be harmful to others and yourself.

Therefore, when each family selects an inheritor, it must be the family dragon, and only in this way will the chance of success be greater.

"Since it is so difficult to become a Wendao monk, why are all the scholars rushing to it, don't they know that it is difficult to become a Wendao monk?" Lin Yu looked at Zhao Shi.

"That's because each of them felt that they could touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao and become a Wendao monk without relying on inheritance. ”

Zhao Shi smiled and said: "That's what I thought as a teacher back then, but I was trapped in the talented realm for thirty years, and I realized it~"

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed, and he secretly scolded Zhao Shi in his heart, you are a big pitfall.

It turns out that becoming a monk of Wendao does not necessarily need the inheritance of a monk of Wendao, and if you don't break through yourself, it doesn't mean that others can't.

"It's a good thing that I didn't cultivate your talent and mental method, otherwise, I would have ended up in this life......"

Lin Yu muttered in his heart, now that he has probably understood, becoming a Wendao monk has a close relationship with the talent and heart method.

If the Talent, Qi and Mind Method are good enough, the more comprehension of the Heavenly Dao is contained, the greater the chance of a literati breaking through.

And the inheritance of the mental method of those Wendao monks is because they have already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Dao, and the natural mental method is high-level enough.

As long as the person with outstanding talent understands the mind of the monk Wendao, there is still a great chance of breaking through.

"Tao Te Ching is undoubtedly a mental method close to the way of heaven...... As the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu can he write this scripture all his life?"

Lin Yu's heart was almost ecstatic, and the six words at the beginning of the Tao Te Ching made him Qifu and his talent complete the transformation, and the talent palace was promoted.

If you write more words, after enlightenment, you may be able to become a monk of literature and Taoism without relying on external objects.

At this moment, Master Zhao sighed lightly, looked at Lin Yu and said, "Don't think too much, maybe the teacher is not talented enough, so he can't touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao......, but you are still young, maybe you can succeed?"

"Disciple understands!"

Lin Yu nodded in response, of course, he would definitely not choose Zhao Shi's mental law books in his heart, and the Tao Te Ching was his greatest reliance.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, stopped halfway to find a post station, had a full meal, fed the horses, and then hurried again.

During this period, Lin Yu hadn't seen Fang Shiming get out of the car, but he didn't care too much, the latter was not qualified enough for him to take it to heart.

It wasn't until the evening that the two carriages led by Zhao Shi finally arrived at Yichuan Town.

This is a town under the jurisdiction of the high-level of the Fang family, and it is the town that the Fang family's Wendao monk stood out in the assessment of the province and was given the title of baron.

So far, for more than ten years, the Fang family has absolute control of Yichuan Town, and this place has also become a solid backing for the Fang family.

The foundation of all the Fang family's industries is laid here.

When the carriage drove into the gate of the town, Zhao Shi took Lin Yu, Fang Xiaonian and Fang Shiming out of the carriage.

"Master Zhao!"

The children of the Fang family, who were in charge of the reception, were dressed in brocade clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, and after saluting Master Zhao, they also greeted Lin Yu and others one by one.

When he saw Lin Yu's unfamiliar face, the Fang family disciple was also slightly stunned, and said softly, "Who is this?"

"Son-in-law of the Fang family, Lin Yu!" Lin Yu smiled slightly and introduced himself.
