Chapter 24: Choosing the Way
He asked himself again and again in his heart, if it was so simple to imitate the Dao, wouldn't it be so simple to test two tests in a row, there was no difficulty, the only thing to test was patience, and the spiritual power was highly concentrated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if there is a little harm, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. Even in imitation of the way, he thought that he was also going to resist the baptism of thunder and lightning, but he never thought that thunder and lightning baptized himself like that.
Then he guessed that perhaps the thunder and lightning had been baptized between his imitations, because when his imitations were not good, the thunder and lightning had been baptizing him.
Nothing was expected anymore, could it be that these two successive tests were so simple?
He asked himself secretly in his heart, but when he asked himself. Then he heard a voice of thought suddenly sound, "Is it possible that you are too simple? Isn't it easy to be simple? Do you want to be notched?"
The thought asked three words in a row that made him speechless, and he had to complain, simple is simple, just pass the test, and everything else doesn't need to be known for the time being.
"Is it really that simple?" he asked again.
"Believe it or not, the next stele is the middle of the remaining three steles. The thought said lightly, and there was no further after he had finished speaking.
He wondered why the ideas in each stone tablet here were different. It doesn't matter if it's different, the stele in front of me wishes to keep you there and let you chat with him. And the ideas in the stele behind are just the opposite, with few words and a bad temper, I wish you would go to the next test.
"Hey, then I'm really going...", the thought still didn't answer, "I really went..."
Seeing this, he had to give up. Regardless of whether these two tests were so simple, as long as he was careful in the next one, he wished that each test would be so simple.
Looking at the middle of the remaining three stone tablets, he had already passed the first seven tests, as long as the remaining three tests were still that simple, then everything would be very smooth, but would this be the case?
No matter what the rest was, now he put his mind into it, and it was the same, and two big characters appeared on the stone tablet.
"Choose the way!"
He didn't know, although he had a guess in his heart, who knew if what he would see in the stele would be a different scene, just like the two steles before, the test was so simple.
In fact, it's not just that the first two tests are so simple, but all the tests are so simple, can it be so?
When his mind reached into it again, he saw a different scene. Strictly speaking, it's not a space. There was a passage in front of him, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside, and there was no other passage except this one.
There was no choice but this passage, when he stepped into it. It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see what was around him, so he had to grope his way forward, leaning against the edge of the passage.
Fortunately, when he had walked for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a bright spot in front of him, and as he walked farther and farther, he got closer to it. It wasn't long before he came out of the passage. But instead, there are passages in front of you.
He stood here, surrounded by passages, as if he were standing in the middle of a square, with roads to choose from, and that was pretty much the scene.
And when he wanted to count how many passages there were, he didn't count them clearly, because there were many, some of them densely standing side by side. Except for the passage he had just walked through and disappeared, there were passages on the edge of the wall around the square.
I don't know what's in the passage, I don't know where the passage leads. And the back road is also blocked, so I have to find a way out among these many passages.
He suddenly thought that he had an idea and said that he was lucky to be able to pass the test all the way. Since that thought says that he is lucky, let him really see if he is lucky?
He closed his eyes, collected his mind, took out a copper coin from his bosom, and grasped it in the palm of his hand. Then he began to spin in circles until he felt a little dizzy, and when he felt dizzy, he threw the copper coin out.
When the coin was tossed, he quickly recovered for a moment and looked at the place where the coin had fallen.
Walk to the place where the copper coin fell, pick up the copper coin, and walk in a straight line in the direction the copper coin is pointing, no matter what the passage is, where it leads?
When he walked to the passage where luck was, he did not hesitate and resolutely entered it. When he entered the passage, it was still pitch black, and he couldn't see the scene around him, and after a while, he saw a bright spot again.
When he came out of the bright spot, what he saw was not a plaza full of passages, but a school. There was one person teaching above the school, and there were many people sitting below, about twenty or thirty people.
People here can clearly see what their faces are, unlike what they have seen before. Just as he was stunned, the master on the podium spoke.
"Liu Jingyu, why are you late?"
When the master spoke, he saw all the students looking at him.
He was stunned by the master's cry again and did not answer, and the master continued, "Liu Jingyu, why did you not answer when I asked you. Do you think you're late?"
When the Master had spoken, the student was not quiet, but was whispering, and he heard that there was concern for him, why was he late, why did he not answer the Master's words?
At this time, a slight voice reminded him, "Jingyu, why are you late." Didn't you come the first to come in the past, and why are you late today, and you don't even answer the Master's questions?"
As he followed the voice that reminded him, he saw a man about his size, sitting on a stool, anxiously asking him, and the man next to him was looking at him with puzzled eyes.
Liu Jingyu was uncomfortable with dozens of glances, although he didn't know what it was, what kind of test it was, he finally spoke.
"Master, the students felt dizzy when they got up in the morning, and when they came to the school, they suddenly fainted on the road, and when I woke up, they rushed over. ā
He could only say it briefly, try to say as little as possible, and he didn't know what this space was.
"If you usually keep fit, you only know how to read, no, after a while, your body will collapse again. The master nodded when he heard Liu Jingyu's explanation, and then said, "Remember, in the future, you can't just know how to study, you also need to strengthen your physical health." ā
"Get back to your position, and remember to work out!"
When he heard the Master say this, he looked ahead, and saw that there was a place next to the man who had reminded him in front of him, and he sat down quickly.
Once he sat down, he wondered what the hell this was. Isn't this a place of trials? Isn't it a place of choice? How can this be?
He didn't hear the Master's teachings from the podium, not even the man who kept calling him beside him, and he kept thinking about what this place was. Although he knew that the test in the stele did not exactly match the words on the stele, he still had to think about how to choose the path.
When the Master's voice called out his name again, there was another name among them, and he woke up.
"Liu Jingyu, Xie Zhigang, what are you two doing, stand at the door and reflect seriously. ā
Hearing the master's words, Liu Jingyu did not hesitate, walked directly to the door, and stood there. And Xie Zhigang didn't hesitate when he saw Liu Jingyu like this. Although it was the first time he had encountered such a thing, he had to hear his master and stand at the door.
When Liu Jingyu stood at the door, he didn't think about the question of choosing the path, but thought that it was better to understand where it was.
As soon as Xie Zhigang came out, he asked, "Jingyu, why is it that you are no longer in a state today." Didn't you like to listen to Master Xu's teachings the most, and why is it like this today?"
Hearing Xie Zhigang's question, he could only use the words he had just said, "Isn't this the aftermath of the morning?" I don't know what's going on, I've been thinking about why I fainted to the ground this morning... By the way, why were you punished by the master?"
He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said this, Xie Zhigang complained, "You also said that I kept reminding you just now that the master has paid attention to you many times, but you have not reacted, and it is not your fault." ā
"Didn't I think about things just now?" Liu Jingyu smiled and smiled.
"I said that you are a real kid, why are you not interested in the path of cultivation? Master is right, you kid need to exercise with us, otherwise there will be something this morning, and you will definitely not be able to support it for a long time. Xie Zhigang said eloquently.
"I see, you don't have to learn how the master spoke. Liu Jingyu said, "Then tell me, if I follow you to cultivate, what kind of Tao should I practice? And what are the ways?"
"It's not wrong to say that you know how to read, you know to read some books on great principles, and you don't even know some books about the Tao. Xie Zhigang whispered to him, his tone full of what I understood.
"You don't say it. Liu Jingyu was infected by him.
"Well, listen. ā
Xie Zhigang paused again, and when he saw that he had a tendency to explode, he said, "The so-called path of cultivation is the way to change one's life against the sky. And most of these people know, except for you. There are many Taos, such as Confucianism and Taoism, the Mohist way, the Taoist way of self-cultivation, the soldier's way, the royal road...
In particular, the Tao of the Yin-Yang family is the most weird, and the Yin-Yang family has the way of divination, the way of the five elements, the way of yin and yang... There are many Taos, as long as you can spy a little, you will be content. ā
When Liu Jingyu heard him say what the Tao was, and the Tao he said was basically not heard in his dynasty, some of the Tao was only available in ancient or ancient times, and now it has basically disappeared.
"Then what kind of Tao are you cultivating?" Liu Jingyu couldn't help but ask when he heard the Tao that was not available in many imperial dynasties.
Immediately, he saw Xie Zhigang looking around and beckoning to him, the meaning was simple. When he got closer, Xie Zhi said slowly, "I'm telling you, don't tell others..."
When he saw Liu Jingyu nodding, he opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Road!"
There are only two words, 'royal road'.
This is the second time he has heard the word imperial road, and the first time he heard it was said by the person in the upper realm, and that person still despised the imperial way. And he has also experienced the real power of the imperial road, that is, he doesn't know what Xie Zhigang's imperial road is and why he is so cautious.
When Xie Zhigang saw Liu Jingyu's shocked expression, he said again, "Fool you, everyone here knows that what I am practicing is the way of extreme speed. The Imperial Road can only be practiced by the royal family, and it also needs to have the qi of an emperor, and how can I be?"
When Liu Jingyu saw him say this, his eyes were slightly melancholy, but it was only a hint, and he returned to this expression after a while.
"The Way of Extreme Speed. Liu Jingyu whispered, and then asked, "Then what do you say I should practice?"
"If you want me to say, you should practice the Confucian way, just like the Master. ā
"Then why did the Master tell me to be fit?"
"That's because you don't practice Confucianism and Taoism, and you don't understand the mysteries of Confucianism. ā
"What's the mystery of Confucianism and Taoism?"
"How do I know, I'm not practicing Confucianism and Taoism, I have to ask the Master. ā
"That..."
Just when Liu Jingyu wanted to say something, the master's words sounded in his ears.
