Although so many years have passed, the great people of Wudang have also acquiesced to the fact that the master brother has a lay disciple.

But no matter what the occasion is, Hong Tianshou will not regard himself as a disciple of Wudang, and even in front of Li Xuantong, the head of the sect, he shouts that he is a real person instead of a master.

The head of the sect asked Hong Tianshou a few years ago: "You want to be a disciple of Wudang, why haven't you even shouted a word of master so far?"

Hong Tianshou kowtowed and said: "The disciple is not worthy of calling you master for the time being, the disciple can be recognized by the great people, and it is a great blessing to be able to get the people to scold a few words, if you can do more good things in the future, at least... I have to do at least three or five thousand good deeds, and then I will have the slightest qualification to call you Master. ”

Sect leader Li Xuantong had nothing to say, so he could only say in his heart, Hong Tianshou, you, the underworld element of the green forest, really don't look like a bad person.

Hong Tianshou has not come to Wudang for three years, this is the first time he has not come to Wudang for so long since he can remember.

However, this was not because he didn't want to come, but because the head of the sect didn't let him come.

Three years ago, the master of the Great True Sect suddenly told him: "The way of cultivation is not on the surface but in it." From now on, within three years, you will stop going to Wudang and practice well in the world, this is a test of your Dao heart. That's it, I can't help but tell.

Hong Tianshou didn't dare to disobey, so he had to be obedient.

Today, it has just turned three years, and it is true that it should not be considered a real three years until tomorrow morning, but it happened that Hong Tianshou encountered something that he couldn't think clearly, so he couldn't stay up overnight.

When I went up the mountain, I met the feather warrior who was patrolling the mountain, and told Yuebai Fengqing, Yuebai Fengqing didn't recognize it at first, but then Hong Tianshou opened his mouth to speak, and they recognized it, and said with a smile: "What did Hong Tianshou visit late at night? Why did he shave his hair? Is this to be a monk?"

Hong Tianshou smiled and said: "Don't make fun of the two little real people, I have something urgent to ask the big real people to teach." ”

Yuebai Fengqing saw that Hong Tianshou often brought people to donate money to incense, so he let him go up the mountain.

Hong Tianshou touched his bald head, frowned worriedly and said: "Sect Leader Dazhenren, I have some things that I can't think clearly, I don't know what to do, I want to ask you." ”

Instructor Li Xuantong nodded and motioned for him to go down.

Hong Tianshou sighed and said, "In the past few years, although I haven't been in Wudang, I have also thought about it a lot, and I want to wash my hands and not dry it." Why don't you want to do it... As I create more and more, the green forest today is changing, and it is different from when we were young, and the young people today are completely different from when we were young. We will preach righteousness, trustworthiness, morality... But now, they only talk about money and profit, and only talk about fists, and whoever has money can respond to every call, and they can listen to whoever they want. A few days ago, there was a new gang in Xinyang City, dozens of young people, by virtue of daring to fight and kill, ran an old gang in Xinyang City into a run. The gang leader of the old gang and a large family of people didn't dare to be tough with them, not that they didn't dare, they didn't want to. They found me and asked me to make an appointment with the young gang and have dinner together. I said yes. The young man also gave me some face and agreed to come to the banquet. The fruit is at the dinner table... Alas, the young man speaks too harshly, and he doesn't care about the faces of us old guys... In the end, they broke up unhappily, and the two families finally fought, and each other was injured by death, and it seemed that the young gang would not stop without distinguishing between winners and losers. ”

After listening to this, Li Xuantong, the head teacher, said: "It's normal for young people to be aggressive, you have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, you should be used to it, why are you like a person who has just entered the rivers and lakes now, and will be troubled by this kind of thing?"

Hong Tianshou patted his bald head vigorously and sighed non-stop.

Li Zhangjiao looked at him, and continued: "How have you cultivated your Dao Heart in the past three years?"

Hong Tianshou stood up, bowed, and said, "I have made a lot of progress consciously, but the Dao heart I have cultivated and the things in this world... It's not out of place, look at my hair, it's been in a hurry for the past few years. ”

Li Zhangjiao looked at Hong Tianshou and nodded slightly.

In the next hour, Li Zhangjiao did not discuss the matter of the gang with Hong Tianshou, but only asked him about the Tao. Ask him how he has practiced in the past three years, whether he has read any Taoist scriptures, and whether he has done any good and bad things related to cultivation. Hong Tianshou came one by one.

Originally, in the past three years, although Hong Tianshou did not come to the incense once a month as before, he still set up the incense case of the Zhenwu Emperor at home, and he had to put incense on the incense and recite prayers every morning and evening.

Moreover, he can't come to Wudang, but he runs more diligently than before in other Taoist temples around.

There are many things to do in the gang, but every day I take two hours out to read the sutras and meditate. Even though he often travels, he still reads and meditates, and is more devout and vigilant than before.

Several other elders in the gang even had opinions and raised objections, saying that the gang leader should be the main gang, and there are so many people up and down so many people who want to eat, how can you always spend your time and energy on cultivating the Tao.

Hong Tianshou's authority in the gang naturally goes without saying, it is just four words, supreme. Not a single member of the gang disobeyed him. But of course, he can't disobey the opinions of most of the people in the gang, especially the elders, who can't chill the hearts of these old people as he was born and passed away for many years.

Therefore, in the past three years, on the one hand, it is the cultivation of the Tao that has made Hong Tianshou feel the quietness and indifference, contemplation and calmness of the heart of the Daomen, and on the other hand, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are incompatible with the heart of the Dao. The squeezing of the two sides made him at a loss, and he often couldn't sleep at night, so that his hair fell out.

The master of the sect asked Hong Tianshou a few questions about the Taoist scriptures, and Hong Tianshou answered them very well. Li Xuantong made clear the crux of Hong Tianshou's problem.

This stage is the initial stage of cultivation, at this time, there will be no obstacle to the affairs of secular identity, and it will be of great benefit, because since there is a heart of cultivation, looking at people and things will be much more indifferent, and people's hearts will be indifferent, there will be less contention, and naturally they will be able to live more freely.

The second stage is when the Dao mind has cultivated to a certain level, at this time, there will be a great conflict between the worldly and the Dao mind, and at this time, most of the cultivators will have to make a decision, either give up the Dao mind and sink into the world, or give up the worldly world and return to the Dao Gate with one heart.

The third stage is the realm of Li Xuantong, who walks easily in the secular and Taoist ways, and the two not only do not hinder each other, but also can sponsor and benefit each other.

And Hong Tianshou is now in the second stage, so when he creates, the ideas of the young people now are very different from the ideas of their older generation, and when he sells face and wants to adjust the sects of the two gangs, but no one gives him face, he will have the idea of retreating.

It's not just that he doesn't want to fight anymore, but there are two opposing forces that each pull him, making his heart too tired.

Sect leader Li Xuantong poured another cup of tea for his anonymous disciple, watched him drink it, and then said: "Tianshou, our Wudang is famous and upright, and we have never had anything to do with the green forest, you are a special case." From the day you had to worship Wudang, I told you that our Wudang and Green Forest are not the same, and I also told you that your Green Forest Road has nothing to do with Wudang. You have promised me, and we can all see that you have done a good job to this day, you have controlled the proportions very well, you have not crossed the thunder pool, and you have not touched the bottom line of our Wudang, which is very good. But now that you've come to a fork in the road, you need to make a decision, at least temporarily, whether to continue cultivating or to keep walking the green forest, at least at this stage, you have to make a decision. ”

Hong Tianshou looked at the master blankly and said, "So I gave up the gang and washed my hands, is it right to do it?"

Sect Leader Li Xuantong shook his head and said: "The decision I said is not to make you give up anything, but to make a decision on your ultimate direction, to find the return of your heart, whether you return to the Dao heart or the heart of the heart, you have to choose for yourself." ”

For the words of the master of the great truth, Hong Tianshou continued to be at a loss, difficult to understand, difficult to understand, like listening to the book of heaven.

Li Zhangjiao made Hong Tianshou think for half an hour, and saw that the more Hong Tianshou thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so he said: "You must realize it yourself, otherwise no one can save you, you go back first, three days later, if you still don't want to be clear, come to me again, if you want to be clear, you will cultivate for another three years, it is still the same, and you will not go to Wudang for three years." ”

Hong Tianshou knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhangjiao a few times, stood up, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and said, 'Take care, Da Zhenren', and turned to leave.

Li Xuantong sighed lightly, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this. It would be nice if Master was here. Hong Tianshou, a man in the green forest, has become a famous and practical disciple of his Wudang Sect. This is unique in the records of Wudang's predecessors, Li Xuantong sometimes thinks about what the scene will be when the master is here, and it is estimated that he will beat him by the ear.

Or it is possible that Master may feel that he is doing the right thing.

Anyway, when the master was there before, none of the disciples in their group could guess what the master was thinking.

Maybe you did the same thing in the morning and afternoon, but the master's attitude was diametrically opposite, praising you for doing a good job in the morning and scolding you in the afternoon.

No one can really get into Master's mind.

In the master's later years, his eldest disciple Li Xuantong began to comprehend, and occasionally he could clarify what the master thought, but it was not always true. Of course, compared to other junior disciples, the master himself has said that only Xuan Tong understands me. It can be seen that Li Xuantong is still a lot worse than this big disciple, but in his later years, he has actually entered the master's eyes.
