Chapter 45: Storytelling

Liu Quan picked up a piece of bitter gourd and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a fresh sweetness melted in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Liu Quan's eyes narrowed so deliciously that she knew Li Fan's cooking skills, and every time she ate a meal he cooked, it was a pleasure.

After absorbing the fish umami of grass carp, this bitter gourd not only removes the bitterness, but also retains the fragrance of bitter gourd, which is tender and delicious, and melts in the mouth.

Luo Ziyan also enjoyed eating, I have to say, this disrespectful and godless guy is certainly annoying, but he doesn't have to say anything about the food he cooks.

Qingfeng and Si Jian dared to sit down and eat together with Liu Quan's permission.

"Li Fan, your cooking skills are really good." Liu Quan boasted: "And the dishes are novel, how did you come up with them?" ”

Li Fan smiled faintly, "I came up with it when I was free, and I ate more if it was delicious!" ”

Liu Quan looked at Li Fan's eyes full of appreciation, as the saying goes, a gentleman cooks far away, but Li Fan cooks himself, and this cooking skill is so good, it can be seen that he usually cooks a lot.

When the meal was almost eaten, Luo Ziyan waved his chopsticks and said coldly: "Although the cooking skills are acceptable, it's a pity that I don't respect God, hum, retribution is coming!" ”

Li Fan's face was unhappy.

This female Taoist priest is sick, right?

Eat your own food and curse yourself?

"Who do you say retribution is coming?" Li Fan was annoyed, and his tone was not polite: "Even if I don't believe in the Tao, it's better than if you believe in that kind of false Tao." ”

This sentence directly made Luo Zi angry, and Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say?" Who is the false way! ”

Li Fan smiled: "Whoever admits it is." ”

Luo Ziyan slapped the table and said, "What did you say?!" ”

Li Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then what kind of Tao do you say you believe?" ”

Luo Ziyan said: "Taishang forgot to say. Heaven is the most private, and the use is the most public. The system of life is in the air. The root of life for the dead, the root of death for the living. Kindness is born of harm, and harm is born of grace. The fool is holy with heaven and earth, and I am wise with time and things! ”

"What I cultivate is the way of the Taishang forgetfulness, you are a mortal, you don't know it, you dare to call it a false way!"

Luo Ziyan stared at Li Fan coldly, Liu Quan also felt a big headache, Luo Shengnu has a high status, and she is still the only saint in Tianzong, Li Fan said that what she cultivated was a false Tao, so she would naturally be angry.

Li Fan said: "Oh, you are too forgetful, so have you forgotten?" ”

Luo Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly: "I haven't been able to reach the level of forgetfulness and even the high realm. ”

To be honest, how can you be too forgetful with this temper?

But this girl was also fooled and lame.

Li Fan shook his head and said, "In my opinion, what is too forgetful is not the Tao at all, and the real Tao is not like this at all." ”

Luo Ziyan laughed angrily: "You ordinary man, what do you know, what do you say, what is the real ......?"

Before the words were finished, I only heard Li Fan recite: "The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao; The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things. ”

Luo Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes shrank slightly.

Liu Quan on the side also looked at Li Fan in surprise.

"Therefore, there is always no desire, to observe its wonder, and there is often desire, to observe it. These two are the same and have different names, the same name is the mystery, the mystery is mysterious, and the door of all wonders. ”

When Li Fan saw Luo Ziyan's reaction, he knew that it was useful, so he just used the Tao Te Ching to wake up this guy, and continued:

"Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are with each other. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words. All things do not quit, they are born without being, they are not ashamed, and they live in success. Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go. ”

"The Tao rushes to use it, or it does not make a profit. The abyss is like the sect of all things. Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust. Zhan Xi seems to exist. I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors. ”

He recited two chapters at once, then stopped, and looked at Luo Ziyan with a calm face.

Luo Ziyan's eyes flashed, and there seemed to be the sound of the Great Dao in her ears, at this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time when her master preached for her, and the way she preached was more mysterious than that of her master.

"What about the next?"

Suddenly, Li Fan stopped, and Luo Ziyan also woke up from his state of enlightenment, and hurriedly looked at Li Fan and asked.

Li Fan's eyes showed a playful light, sure enough, the Tao Te Ching can kill all the Taoism in this world in seconds!

Luo Ziyan said: "You...... How do you know this? Where did you hear this from? Is there anything else down there? ”

Luo Ziyan's tone was eager.

Li Fan smiled lightly: "These are all things I saw from a classic book before, I think these should be the truth, much more real than what is too forgetful." ”

Luo Ziyan didn't want to argue with Li Fan at this time whether Taishang's forgetfulness was true or not, but asked eagerly: "What classics?" Where is it? ”

Li Fan yawned and spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I lost that classic, and it's long gone." ”

"What? You actually lost this kind of book?! ”

Luo Ziyan was so angry that she wanted to bite someone, just listening to a few words to let her enter the state of enlightenment, this classic must record the supreme Taoist cultivation method, if you can get it......

Li Fan saw that she looked like she wanted to kill, and said, "But I remember another story, which is also related to Taoism, but I can tell it to you." ”

"What's the story?"

"Journey to the West!"

"Journey to the West? Let's talk about it! ”

"Wait until I'm done washing the dishes."

"Qingfeng, go wash the dishes!"

"Qingfeng, go wash the dishes!"

Liu Quan and Luo Ziyan spoke in unison!

Liu Quan is also a cultivator, although his cultivation is not as high as Luo Ziyan, but he did get insights from the few words of the Tao Te Ching that Li Fan recited, and his heart fluctuated, and he secretly said that Li Fan's secret is really too much!

Could it be that he is actually a hidden cultivator?

…………………

Qingfeng put away the table and washed the dishes, Li Fan looked at Liu Quan and Luo Ziyan with a curious look, and couldn't help but smile, and said in a deep voice: "Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity. Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch "Journey to the West". ”

Just the opening verses once again attracted the surprised eyes of Liu Quan and Luo Ziyan, and even Si Jian cast a curious look at him.

This poem summarizes the birth of heaven and earth, and when chaos was not divided, it was Pangu who split Hongmeng and let all things be born.

However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no myth of Pangu opening the sky.

Therefore, all three of them were in good spirits.

"The number of heaven and earth is one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. The one yuan is divided into 12 branches, Naizi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Each meeting should be 1800 years old. And just one day: when the child is young, the rooster crows; Yin does not pass through the light, and Mao is the sunrise; After eating, and the Si are lined up; The sun is in the middle of the day, and it is not in the west; Shen Shi Shi and sunset; Dusk and people are fixed...... ”

These words summed up the twelve hours of heaven and earth, Si Jian just frowned when he heard it, and he didn't know why, but Luo Ziyan's face changed, his eyes reflected a surprised light, and his palms trembled slightly.

"One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years old...... That's the number of avenues! ”

"For example, in the case of large numbers, if it reaches the end of the meeting, then the heavens and the earth will be darkened and all things will be lost. If you go to 5,400 years old, at the beginning of the Jiaohai Society, it will be dark, and the characters in the two rooms are gone, so it is called chaos. Another 5,400 years old, Hai will come to an end, Zhen Xia Yuan, near the son of the meeting, and gradually enlightened. Shao Kangjie said: Half of the winter solstice, the heart of heaven has not changed. At the beginning of the yang, when all things are not born. At this point, the sky has roots. Another 5,400 years old, just as the child will meet, light and clear, there are days, moons, stars, and days. The sun, moon, stars, and stars are called the four elephants. Therefore, it is said that the sky is open to the son. After 5,400 years old, the son will come to an end, and the meeting will be ugly, and gradually solid. Yi said: "Great Qianyuan! To the Kun Yuan! All materials are born in accordance with the sky. At this point, the earth began to condense. Another 5,400 years old, just as the ugly will be, heavy turbidity and condensation, there is water, there is fire, there are mountains, there are stones, there are earth. Water, fire, mountains, stones, and earth are called the five forms. Therefore, it is said that the land is ugly. After 5,400 years of age, the ugly meeting ended and the beginning of the Yin meeting, and all things happened. The calendar says: "When the weather falls, the earth's atmosphere rises; Heaven and earth intersect/merge, and all things are born. "At this point, the sky is clear and refreshing, and yin and yang are intertwined/combined. Another 5,400 years old, just in the Yin Society, born people, beasts, birds, is called heaven, earth and people, three talent positioning. Therefore, it is said that life is born in Yin.

Li Fan took a sip of tea and eased his throat, this paragraph is about the formation of heaven and earth, and after he finished this paragraph, Luo Ziyan could already listen to it, and his heart flew out, as if he had entered another world.

Liu Quan frowned, her Taoism was shallower than Luo Ziyan, but she didn't understand it very well, but she just felt that she had faintly touched the avenue.

"This Li Fan's understanding of the Tao is too deep, could it be that he pretended to be before? In fact, he is not an ordinary person? ”

Li Fan didn't know Liu Quan's thoughts, and continued to tell.

When the monkey jumped into the water curtain hole, the three of them listened to it in a daze, and even Qingfeng, who was washing the dishes, was dumbfounded.

This story is full of magic, and it sounds like you are in the scene, and your mind flutters to that magical water curtain cave.

"Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, Xu Xing in the valley of the clouds, selling salaries and wine, laughing and self-indulgent. The autumn is high, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and hold the axe to break the withered vine...... Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court". ”

When Li Fan talked about Qiaozi singing, Na Luo Ziyan got up, his face was full of excitement, and said: "If you are not an immortal, you are the Tao, sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting", Huang Tingjing...... This, this must be the secret of the supreme cultivation of Taoism! That woodcutter is a fairy! ”

Li Fan: ???

You're too deep into the play, aren't you?

But I remember the first time I watched Journey to the West, and I thought that the woodcutter was a fairy.

Li Fan smiled and continued to tell, talking about the monkey entering the three-star cave of the slanting moon and the name Wukong given by the Bodhi Patriarch, Luo Ziyan muttered: "Wukong...... Wukong...... Enlightenment of the Great Void...... Good name......"

The corners of Li Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued.

"I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown."

Li Fan clapped his palms: "I'm done." ”

Luo Ziyan was dumbfounded: "No?" Gone? ”
