Chapter 71 The Tao is natural

After returning to the inn, Chen Zhenyi kept thinking about what the woman in Tsing Yi said.

The Tao is in the heart...... Crossing others and crossing oneself.

Lying on the bed, he suddenly remembered that when he was in the Holy Ruins Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the "Tao Te Ching" given to him by Daozu took it out and checked it.

When he unfolded the bamboo slip again, the seal script on it seemed to come to life, turning into wisps of white breath and pouring into his body.

Unconsciously, Chen Zhenyi watched it all night.

In the end, there were only four words left in the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching": Taoism and nature.

Chen Zhen woke up like a dream, holding the scroll, and was overjoyed. I seem to have an answer:

The Tao is natural inaction.

Like a majestic mountain, when standing majestically between heaven and earth, wind and rain are indestructible; Like the water of a surging river, when passion is surging, indomitable; Like humble grass and trees, when they stand firm on the loess, frost and snow cannot be bullied; It is also like all life in heaven and earth, when there is a strong iron bone, it cannot be bent to death.

The Tao is the bone, the backbone, and the backbone.

Overnight, it was as if he had been reborn. Although I didn't rest all night, I was still full of energy.

Chen Zhenyi walked out of the room, looked at the grass and trees in the backyard of the inn where he came, and had a new understanding. Walking lightly downstairs and into the lobby.

I saw that the three of Xiaobifeng's master and apprentice were sitting in the lobby at this time.

Chen Zhenyi stepped forward to say hello and sat aside alone.

When I came back last night, I saw Qin Ruoxue, the first beauty in Wudang, I don't know what she had experienced, and she was thinner than when she went down the mountain. Because of the same family, he should have cared about it, but this senior sister seemed to have a very deep prejudice against herself, and as soon as she saw herself, there was a look of disdain in her eyes, which made Chen Zhenyi dare not approach.

"Shinichi, come here......" Li Xuanyu said softly.

Chen Zhenyi stood opposite Li Xuanyu with his head down, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi......"

"I heard Ruoxue say that Kuroko followed you down the mountain, why didn't you see it?" Li Xuanyu's voice was very flat, and he didn't mean to ask the teacher.

Before Chen Zhenyi could speak, Yu Xuanji spoke first, "Master, Heizi was injured in the West Sea, and he is healing in Yaotai at this time."

Li Xuanyu glanced at Yu Xuanji and nodded. After a while, he asked Chen Zhenyi: "Zhenyi, tell me the truth, what did you do before you went to Wudang?" ”。

Chen Zhen thought about it for a while, and repeated what he had said to the young man in white before.

Li Xuanyu naturally didn't believe it, and said lightly: "But I heard that you have the true qi of Confucianism in your body, can you tell me how you came here?" ”。

"Is there one? I don't know! Who told you? Chen Zhen pretended to be stupid.

Li Xuanyu had seen Chen Zhenyi's oily tone, and knew that it would be in vain to ask if he continued to ask. He shook his head helplessly and waved his hand to signal that he could go.

Chen Zhen glanced at Yu Xuanji and left the inn.

Walking aimlessly on the streets of Liangxi Town, he unconsciously walked to the door of the Drunken Moon Building again.

When I looked up, I saw that the door of the Drunken Moon Building was closed, and I was about to turn around and leave. But when I heard the sound of the door opening, I couldn't help but stop again and look up.

I saw the shopkeeper running down the steps with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Young man, you are here!" There's something for you, you wait, I'll get it for you."

Taking a blue-covered scripture book from the shopkeeper's hand, Chen Zhenyi was a little puzzled. I asked the shopkeeper who left it, and the shopkeeper didn't know.

Chen Zhenyi thought about who would leave it for him? I never figured it out, and before I knew it, I had walked out of the city, looked back at the tall city gate, and suddenly rose from the ground. It didn't take long for him to reach the Ethereal Peak.

Sitting down in a pavilion, spreading out the scriptures, he saw that it was a music book, he didn't know anything about music and rhythm, he didn't see the reason, he felt that this was an ordinary music book, and there was nothing special.

However, a page with a pattern in it attracted Chen Zhenyi's attention, and he couldn't help but think that there seemed to be a similar painting in the "Taishang Zhenjing" that he got in the Wudang Landscape Lake that day.

It's a pity that the "Taishang True Scripture" spontaneously combusted after remembering the content in it, otherwise if you take it out and compare it, you may find it.

Chen Zhenyi looked at the painting carefully, and it seemed to be a mountain, and the shape was somewhat similar to the ethereal peak under his feet, but there was no pavilion in the painting.

He put the score away and stood up to look out over the blue waters.

Suddenly, I found a black shadow running into the water, and in a hurry, I chased it without much thought.

As soon as he entered the water, he noticed that the surrounding water surface was surging rapidly, and suddenly a behemoth swam towards him with its mouth wide open.

Chen Zhen was shocked and plunged into the deep water.

As soon as I got rid of one, another swam over. Chen Zhen saw it clearly, it turned out to be a big fish, not only with a bloody mouth, but also with sharp teeth.

Chen Zhen wanted to surface, but found that there were already a lot of such big fish surrounding him at this time, and he could only continue downstream at this time. He was glad that he knew how to be lucky and could breathe in the water, otherwise, he would have drowned if he was not eaten by the fish.

I don't know how long I swam, but I finally got rid of the attack of the big fish. But you can't stay in the lake all the time, can you? At this time, there is a dilemma, there are big fish guarding it, and if you go down, you can only be trapped here.

Suddenly, he felt a splitting headache, a snorting electric current sounded in his head, and his body swam deeper uncontrollably.

His eyes gradually darkened, and he wanted to call for help, but he couldn't cry out.

The feeling of pressure on his body became stronger and stronger, and the concept of pressure suddenly emerged in the only trace of consciousness he had left. A trace of air in his chest cavity was also forced out by the water pressure, and Chen Zhenyi felt the feeling of suffocation.

After that, consciousness became blurred, and the feeling of everything around him disappeared in an instant.

I thought: I'm going to die......

Suddenly, there was a burning sensation in his chest, and Chen Zhenyi opened his eyes suddenly. At some point, he was swept into a cave.

A huge stream of water flowed around him. Chen Zhenyi stood up and checked it, and found that Taihu Lake was originally like an hourglass, with water above and below, but there was a channel in the middle, because of the siphon, the water flow did not overflow into the dark passage in the middle.

Chen Zhen was shocked and calmed down.

Now that I am temporarily saved, how can I get out?

I sat on the ground and thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't come up with a solution. Looking at the passage behind him, it seems to be very long. I thought to myself: Now that I'm down, I might as well see what is here.

Walk along the passage inside.

After about a stick of incense, the passage became wider, and I walked for a while. Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in front of him, Chen Zhenyi stuck to the stone wall, listened carefully, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.

When he couldn't hear any more, he continued walking.

After walking for a long time, I found that the front was extremely open. Although it was dark, I could vaguely see a mountain in front of me.

A mountain?

Chen Zhenyi couldn't help but think of those two paintings, weren't the paintings depicting the mountain in front of him?

Don't?

Chen Zhenyi stood in place, looking at the hazy mountains in front of him, and began to recall the two paintings. Now that I've got those two paintings, there must be some indication in them.

"What could it be?" Chen Zhenyi tried to remember.

But no matter how you think about it, you have never discovered the secret hidden in it.

He continued to walk forward, his vision slowly clearing. The outline of the mountain gradually became clearer, and he confirmed that the two paintings depicted the mountain in front of him.

"What is the connection between music and scriptures?" Chen Zhenyi thought as he walked.

Suddenly, the scene of the drunken moon upstairs, Tsing Yi playing the piano, and the Xuanwu Emperor dancing the sword came to mind. Oh, yes! Isn't the scripture the one that Emperor Xuanwu guided himself to obtain? Dao Shengyi?

The two become one, the two paintings in my mind merge into one, and a winding road appears on the hill in front of me.

Chen Zhenyi was overjoyed and immediately rushed along that road.

After a while, he caught up with the people in front of him, and he saw five people in front of him hurrying up the mountain. With a road, Chen Zhenyi quickly overtook them, and it didn't take much effort to reach the top of the mountain.

A boulder with a strange light appeared in front of him. This is the Celestial Essence Stone?

Suddenly, the Celestial Star Sword came out without being summoned by itself, hovering over the boulder, and the seven stars on the sword slowly lit up, forming the Big Dipper.

The seven-colored beams of light emitted by the boulder poured into the seven stars on the sword body in turn.
