Chapter 46: Entering the Tao (II)
"Although the story of the Dao Leader is an ethereal immortal on the surface, I am afraid that there is a deep meaning in it!" Yuan Feng frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, "Could it be that the Dao Leader means that I will be like that young man to reshape the profundity of the martial arts through continuous verification with the Dao of others?"
Ye Qingxuan saw the expressions of the two brothers Yuan Feng and Yuan Zhen in his eyes, and he understood that they had doubts in their hearts, but he didn't say anything, he just continued to tell the story by himself, "Ask about Changsheng, ten years is just a time for young people to retreat and realize the Great Dao, and soon, ten years is here again!"
The young man went home again, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw a plain white lantern hanging at the door of the house, and the servants were also dressed in white. ”
The young man still had the appearance of a monk, and the old man in the house no longer knew him, so he made a stealth trick and came to his brother's room, only to see that his brother was dressed in sackcloth and looked sad, and even his hair was half white!
"Brother, what else do you have to say at this time, if you seek immortality, how can there be such a change?" The young man looked at his brother, as if he understood the meaning of Patriarch Qingyun asking him to come here once every ten years.
At this time, the young man's brother was already over fifty years old, and when he heard the words, he looked up and saw that his little brother was still in his prime, the same as back then, but the young man looked at his brother's eyes and couldn't help but understand in his heart that his brother was not envious of himself.
"Life is like the four seasons, there is both the spring of the first birth and the summer of strength, and naturally there should be the autumn of withering and the winter of death. Fifty years of life experience has made the young man's brother full of wisdom, and his voice is unhurried, although there is still sadness, but more is relief.
"Your sister-in-law is very peaceful, your nephew is also very competitive, and even your nephew is healthy and safe, and people are lovely, what more can you ask for in life?"
"How so!?" The young man was even more puzzled, so he went back to the mountain again, but the answer he got was still "Meditation and practice, and then I will look for him in ten years!"
The fifth decade passed again soon, and the actual age of the young man was already over sixty years old, but he had succeeded in cultivating with Patriarch Qingyun, and he was still as light and healthy as he had been!
At this time, the young man's brother had already returned home to enjoy the joy of family, and the young man pushed open the courtyard door, only to see that under the soft sunlight, a white-headed old man was lying comfortably on the chaise longue, and five or six children were chattering around him, and the old man was his brother, needless to say.
As if he felt something, the old man sat up with a smile, pointed to the opposite seat, and brought a cup of tea to his younger brother who he hadn't seen for ten years, and then said, "The younger brother is really an immortal, and his demeanor has not diminished back then, and he is really happy for you!"
"Does that brother ever regret it? If my brother changes his mind, I can ask the teacher to pass on your Dafa elixir so that my brother can also live forever!" When the young man heard his brother's words, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, "Sure enough, in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, my brother is not exempt from vulgarity!"
But the next moment, his smile froze on his face, and the old man shook his head lightly, and then said, "I naturally don't regret it, if I go into the mountains to seek the Tao, how can I enjoy the joy of family life full of children and grandchildren at this time?"
The old man beckoned as he spoke, "Children, come and see the second grandfather!"
The young man left home with an ugly face and returned to the grass house again, he didn't need to ask to know that the answer given by the patriarch was still "Meditation and practice, and I will look for him in ten years!"
But this time, the young man's heart could not be calm, so he left the grass house and walked in the world, he wanted to see his brother's life, what is spring, summer, autumn and winter, what is birth, old age, sickness and death!
Ten years have passed in a flash, although the description of the young man remains the same, but the vicissitudes of the world have exhausted his soul, in these ten years he has seen too much deceit and love and hatred, he seems to understand his brother's persistence.
On this day, the bearded young man returned home, but he was greeted not by his brother, but by a weak-crowned boy, one of the children who had called him "Grandpa Er" ten years earlier.
It turned out that the young man's brother had died peacefully three years earlier, and following the young man, the young man came to his brother's grave, and at the same time the young man handed him a letter and motioned for him to open it and look at it.
"My brother started his life, and he was in a hurry for decades for his brother's life, and he was proud of his high school life when he was young, and then he married the love of his life, and then he had children and grandchildren, and he had no regrets in his brother's life. However, what you want is different from that of your brother, you seek longevity and leisure, and you have your own way, but seeking a wonderful life for your brother is naturally the persistence of your brother. Even if you have not changed your appearance for decades, your body is strong, and you are happy for your brother, but you have nothing to do with your brother, and your brother is getting older and experiencing all kinds of life, and you have nothing to do with your younger brother. Although you and I are brothers and mothers, but the paths are different, naturally there is no need to force each other! The most proud thing in this life is to be able to stick to our own way and resist the temptation of your immortality, if you can find the answer you want to know for decades from this letter, then you really have no regrets in this life as a brother!"
After reading his brother's letter, the young man returned to the grass house of the Qingyun Patriarch in despair, and the patriarch saw this and lightly buckled the top of his head six times with his hand, and said, "Why are you still not enlightened?"
The young man felt the palm of the master on his head, and suddenly he seemed to be looking back on every ten years of the past in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"The way of others, but the way you seek?" Patriarch Qingyun asked softly with a long sigh.
"The way of others is naturally not my way!" the young man muttered.
"Your Dao heart may be easily deceived by the outer way?"
"I can't!"
"The road to immortality is slowly cultivated, often encountering obstacles, and others insult you, slander you, ridicule you, and laugh at you, can you hold it?"
"Sustainable!" the young man thought about the past for decades, "My brother and a mortal can hold their own way, and I can naturally hold it!"
"If the outside way tempts you, confuses you, disturbs you, and messes with you, can your Daoist heart be maintained?" Patriarch Qingyun smiled faintly.
"Since my brother and a mortal have never been disturbed by the temptation of my Great Dao of Immortality, then I should stick to my Dao heart, and my Dao can be sustained!" Speaking of this, the young man's original beard fell one after another, and in an instant, the young man who was full of vigor and determination to seek the Tao stood in front of Qingyun Patriarch again!
"Good! and practice quietly with the old way!" Patriarch Qingyun smiled again.
The whole story is told here, and it is all told, this is still what Ye Qingxuan saw in a novel at the beginning, and at this time, it was slightly adapted and used to enlighten Yuan Feng.
"Can your Dao heart be sustained?" Seeing that Yuan Feng seemed to have an understanding, Ye Qingxuan understood that it was time to push him, so he once again used his innate true qi and asked softly in the indifferent tone of Patriarch Qingyun.
"It's sustainable!" Yuan Feng was shocked when he heard this, as if he saw an old Taoist priest who seemed to be like a god asking him questions, at this time he seemed to be the young man who had a damaged Dao heart, but was unwilling to give up the Dao.
"If others insult you, slander you, ridicule you, or laugh at you, can you hold it?" Ye Qingxuan asked softly again!
"Everyone has their own way, no matter how others insult me and slander me, ridicule me, I should be consistent, stick to my own martial arts profound!" Yuan Feng felt something when he heard this, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"If the outside world tempts you, confuses you, disturbs you, and messes with you, can your Taoist heart be maintained?" Ye Qingxuan asked again!
"The way of others is his way, what does it have to do with me, my martial arts is to fight the heavens and the earth, and the war will be full of gods and Buddhas, I should be consistent!" Yuan Feng completely figured it out at this time, his heart was settled, he laughed in his mouth, and then said, "I can hold it!"
With this sound, I can hold it, Yuan Feng's originally collapsed martial arts are deeply reshaped, and his state of mind is gradually consummated with the exhaustion of the demons in his heart.
"That's very good!" Ye Qingxuan heard this, looking at Yuan Feng, who was gradually recovering, and smiled.
