In the early morning of the next day, the back mountain was shrouded in clouds and fog, drizzling and smoking, and the sound of roaring waterfalls was heard from time to time in the distance.

Don't leave this day, get up early, walk through the forest, feel the humidity on your face, and the fatigue of yesterday disappears.

When he was young, when he returned to the bamboo house, Mo Li lit a piece of sandalwood on the incense burner, sat on the ground, and flipped through the Taoist books that he didn't know were about to be turned over, and he was very eager to find the true meaning of the Tao from it.

"Tao Te Ching" has clouds: the Tao can be the way, the very way, the name can be named, the very name. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, and I want to see its wonder, and I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.

Lao Tzu said: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. The movement of the opposite is the use of the weak.

What is the Tao?

Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, the Tao is the nature, this is the way. On the contrary, everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive to think that it is harmonious, know its male, guard its female, live in a good place, have a good heart, and be benevolent.

As a true self, the body is a phantom body. Phantom fakes, if the reverse journey is in the ear, what is the love. The real body soars, can be transformed into thousands, there is no way to do it, and the body will die when it reaches a hundred years, and its sex will not die. The human body is a mess of filth, and the appearance of the smear is skillfully demonic, the charm of the ages is not enough, ten thousand kinds of madness, the six ways of rushing and floating are heavier, and the sergeant hears the Tao and acts diligently. When the sergeant hears the sermon, if he survives, he will die, and when the corporal hears the sermon, he laughs loudly, and if he does not laugh, it is not enough to be a sermon. Therefore, there are suggestions, if the clear way is ambiguous, if the road is retreated, if the road is like a class, if the valley is good, if the white is humiliated, if the broad virtue is insufficient, if the virtue is stolen, if the quality is good, the generous is not the corner, the big instrument is late, the sound is loud, the elephant is invisible, the road is hidden and nameless, and the husband is good at lending and succeeding.

......

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is revered as a sacred text by Taoism, and its meaning is profound, all-encompassing, and contains truth. Those who read it with great wisdom can find the way to cultivate the Tao, those who read it with great sages can understand the moral truth, and ordinary people can read it with a smile.

Mo Li has read this scripture hundreds of times, and the content of the scripture can be said to be memorized backwards, the faster he read this book before, but now he is slower than this scripture. He seems to be able to capture the mystery of heaven and earth from the Tao Te Ching, the key to cultivating truth.

He remembered what Ziyun Zhenren said when he was teaching on the teaching platform: The avenue is not based on nature, and the kung fu is not enough. The three-way intersection seeks the true seed, and the gossip furnace refines the sex sky. There is no bottom to cross the sea, and the medicine can prolong life. The Tibetan people in the punishment are unpredictable, and the harm is to be dedicated. The four elephants are reconciled to the original face, and the five elements gather clusters of long golden lotus. It is wonderful to increase and decrease, and know the good and the evil from the beginning. Get rid of the dirt and dirt that you will be wrapped up in, and you will become your parents before their deaths. Cultivating immortals and becoming Buddhas are all from this, and the remaining two are biased.

Savor it, when there is a similarity.

There are three thousand avenues, choose one and follow it. Three thousand weak water, take a scoop and drink it.

It is said that there are three thousand avenues, and if you take one of them, you can become enlightened, but can everyone become enlightened?

If everyone can attain enlightenment, why are there still births, old age, sickness and death, natural and man-made disasters? And why do the people of the world burn incense and worship the Buddha and pray for blessings and protection? Is it because the people of the world are too ignorant, or are the heavens and the earth unkind, and they regard all things as dogs?

If this is the case, what is the point of cultivating? Mo Li suddenly fell into confusion.

The earth seemed to be quiet, and Mo Li didn't know that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was converging in the place where he was sitting, forming a whirlpool around him, frantically pouring into his body, and he was in contemplation and meditation, and he didn't feel it.

......

Yunxiao Peak, Ziyun Zhenren put his hands behind his back, looked at the swirling and changing clouds in the air in the distance, squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and smiled slightly.

The Dingyang Zhenren of Qixia Peak, Shuiyue Peak, Baicao Peak, and Xuantian Peak, Jinghua Fairy, Baicao Zhenren, and the head of Qingxuanzi also felt the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, staring at the cloud and mist above the outer door, and pinching their fingers and pacing.

"This disciple that Senior Brother has accepted is amazing!"

Xuantian Peak, the ancestral hall, in the courtyard, an old man with white hair and drooping eyebrows, said lightly: This doll is good.

The outer door, in front of the back mangosteen house.

"Senior brother!"

"Senior brother!" Tuoba Yu saw that Mo Li did not respond, and stepped forward and pushed Mo Li.

Mo Li, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by Tuoba Yu, opened his eyes, grabbed Tuoba Yu's hand and asked, "Senior brother, what is the Dao? Why do you want to cultivate the Dao?"

Tuoba Yu felt that Mo Li was not quite right, and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Tell me, what is the Tao, why do you want to cultivate the Tao?"

"I just want to make myself stronger so that no one dares to laugh at me anymore. Tuoba Yu was stumped by Mo Li's question, scratched his head and said.

"What is the Dao?" Mo Li saw Tuoba Yu avoid this question and asked again.

"Senior brother, this, I can't answer this. ”

This is a question that has been exhausted for thousands of years, and how many people with the power of the heavens and the earth have tried to figure it out, and finally turned into a pile of bones. Why did Ziyun Zhenren throw this question to me, is it to make it difficult and humiliate me?

Thinking of this, Mo Li shook his head, Ziyun Zhenren would not do such a thing, but this Ziyun Zhenren problem was too difficult, and he couldn't help but feel lost and melancholy.

"Senior brother, what do you want, tell you good news?" Tuoba Yu saw that Mo Li was silent and said.

"What's the news?"

"The outer door competition is about to begin!"

"Outer Gate Dabi?"

"That's right, don't you know? Our Xuantian Sect's selection of outer disciples is held every five years, and disciples who perform well in the big competition have the opportunity to directly become inner disciples. Tuoba Yu said excitedly to Mo Li.

Mo Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, if Da Bizhong could enter the inner gate and become a disciple of one of the five veins, then the exercises and cultivation resources he practiced would be much higher than those of the outer gate, so that the progress of his cultivation would be greatly improved, and he would be more hopeful of going down the mountain to find his sister in the future.

However, I couldn't help but worry when I thought that I was still doing the cultivation of sitting and watching, and that I might face the dilemma of leaving the sect after a year.

"Senior brother, let's go to the square to have a look, many senior brothers have passed, and the notice list has come out. ”

"You go, I won't go. ”

"Senior brother, go, I don't care about this moment in practice. Seeing that Mo Li was reluctant to get up, Tuoba Yu hurriedly pulled him and said.

"Okay, okay, let's take a look. ”

The square was full of people dressed in white robes, crowded with people.

"Yo, isn't this Mo Li? Why, you also have to participate in the Outer Gate Competition. Fang Tianbai saw Mo Li coming, stretched out his hand to block the way, and mocked.

"Senior Brother Fang, at his level of sitting and contemplating, it seems that he has entered the inner door, which is simply a fool's dream. Qi Lianzhi, who was beside Fang Tianbai, looked at Mo Li with disdain.

Mo Li looked up at Fang Tianbai and Qi Lianzhi's ugly faces, he didn't want to say anything, he wanted to move forward.

Tuoba Yu saw that Fang Tianbai had no intention of giving way, and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way." ”

"Lianzhi, teach this fool how to speak. Fang Tianbai heard Tuoba Yu's disrespectful words, and gave Qi Lianzhi's envoy a look and said.

"Boy, today the master will teach you how to behave. With that, he drew the sword in his hand.

Tuoba Yu was just about to make a move, but Mo Li immediately stopped him, looked at Qi Lianzhi and Fang Tianbai and said, "Two junior brothers, I don't know where you offended the two? ”

"Lianzhi, follow the waste gossip and don't talk, let's do it!"

Qi Lianzhi received the order, and the sword stabbed at Mo Li. Seeing this, Tuoba Yu hurriedly pulled Mo Li aside to dodge.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Qi Lianzhi retracted his sword momentum, turned over and kicked Mo Li in the chest, and Tuoba Yu and Mo Li flew out several meters away randomly.

Mo Li covered his chest, a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth, and said secretly: This Qi Lianzhi's cultivation is really good, without using spells, he and Tuoba Yu can kick him and Tuoba Yu into the flying book for several meters with one kick, I am afraid that the cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Realm.

Tuoba Yu saw Mo Li vomiting blood, his eyes were red, and he rushed towards Qi Lianzhi with a brisk step, clenching his fists with both hands, and fighting with flesh.

Qi Lianzhi saw that Tuoba Jade was coming fiercely, and immediately activated the qi of the dantian, wandered within the meridians, his left hand and pointed into a sword, and the sword in his right hand quickly picked out the sword flower in the air and swept a sword, shouting: "Stacked waves!"

As soon as the sword came out, it set off a gust of wind and waves and rushed towards Tuoba Jade. Seeing this, Tuoba Yu quickened his pace, used the Qi of True Yuan, and dodged this sword.

Qi Lianzhi didn't give Tuoba Yu a chance to breathe, and rushed forward and slashed down with a sword.

The ruthlessness of the pumping sword technique lies in the overlapping of sword qi, and under the overlap of Qi Lianzhi's two, although Tuoba Yu uses his true qi to dodge, he still does not escape Qi Lianzhi's sword.

With a "poof", Qi Lianzhi's sword slashed on Tuoba Yu's collarbone, Tuoba Yu suffered pain, regardless of the injury, and punched Qi Lianzhi's chest.

Qi Lianzhi took a few steps back, blood spilling from his mouth.

"Stinky boy, if you dare to hurt me, I want your life. Qi Lianzhi said angrily, randomly moving his whole body true qi into the sword body, the sword body emitted a single blue light, the sword qi was fierce, Qi Lianzhi's right foot was forced, and his body flew up and quickly rushed towards Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu suddenly felt a suffocation in front of him, and hurriedly used the true qi of his whole body and threw a punch.

"If you play, I'm afraid Tuoba Yu will lose her life. ”

"Qi Lianzhi's sword, the sword aura is so powerful, Tuoba Yu will be disabled if he doesn't die. ”

The people in the square said secretly, and many of them even closed their eyes, not daring to look at the results that they already knew next.

Mo Li saw Tuoba Yu playing with his life so hard, and quickly rushed forward.

"Poof", Mo Li's left chest was pierced by Qi Lianzhi's sword and fell to the ground, while Tuoba Yu was pushed out by Mo Li and made a few heels on the ground.

This sword made Qi Lianzhi sober, he was a little scared, the sect rules strictly prohibit the same sect from killing each other, this time he made such a ruthless move, if Elder Xuan blames him, he is afraid that he will worry about his life.

"Lianzhi, let's go, go back and prepare for Dabi. At this time, Fang Tianbai stood at Qi Lianzhi and said.

"A fool, a piece of trash. Qi Lianzhi pretended to be calm, pulled out his sword from Mo Li's body and said viciously, followed Tianbai above, and walked towards the Jade Garden, their residence.

"Senior Brother Fang, if you miss it for a while, Elder Xuan won't blame you, right?" Qi Lianzhi asked secretly.

"Don't worry, I'll say hello to Uncle Xuan. Fang Tianbai said lightly.

"Qi Lianzhi is so bold, he actually made such a heavy hand, and he also hurt Mo Li. "There is a walk in the square.

"Yes, Ziyun Zhenren gave Mo Li Ziyun Order, but this Purple Cloud Order has not appeared for hundreds of years. ”

"Then Mo Li is not a disciple of Ziyun Zhenren!" one person said in surprise.

"It's still uncertain, maybe it is, or maybe it's just that Ziyun Zhenren is soft-hearted and gives Mo Li an extra year. Who can guess what a real person thinks?" someone in the crowd analyzed.

Looking at the backs of Fang Tianbai and Qi Lianzhi leaving, Tuoba Yu looked at Mo Li who was lying in a pool of blood, regardless of the pain in his body, stood up, ran to Mo Li's side, and hugged him.

"Senior brother. ”

"Senior brother, how are you?" Tuoba Yu shouted eagerly.

Mo Li reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Tuoba Yu and smiled slightly: "I...... It's okay. ”
