Chapter 56: Trying the Heart
"All things are the way of heaven, heaven and earth, plants and trees have their own products, birds, beasts, each dwelling in peace, mountains and rivers and all things, each according to its nature, is the virtue of the earth, living in peace, and cultivating ...... mind."
Chen Bi chased the traces left by the big insect, and before he came to a mountain stream, there was a faint sound that seemed to be a warning, and the voice seemed to come from all directions, and he didn't know where the real source was, and it was uncertain.
He said in his heart, if he can say such thought-provoking words, there must be no doubt that the Heavenly Master is going to warn me, but is the Heavenly Master going to warn me about something? Is this a rejection of me? Peace of mind, each in his own way, humane, authentic, heaven and earth...
Chen Bi was stunned again, he muttered to himself, the light of struggle flashed in his eyes, the Heavenly Master was obviously talking about him, his temperament was uncertain, and he refused to pass on his Dao, but why did he feel a burst of loss and struggle in his heart.
"It is the one who has three virtues, and it is also humane, and it is also heaven and earth, and man is the law of the earth, and the earth is the law of the sky, and the law of heaven is the way, and the way of the Tao is natural, all things are born, and all the laws are the same...." Liu Shang was full of force, sitting lazily on a big rock between mountains and streams, leaning on the body of a big insect with his back, and using some small means, the voice came out from afar, echoing in the mountains.
Chen Bi's mind was already chaotic, his eyes were empty, he was fixed in the distance, he couldn't move a step, he seemed to have entered a mysterious situation, like a spectator, his life was unfolding in front of him.
When he was a child, his father's stern face and his mother's gentle concern taught him to memorize and write, at that time he was very aggrieved and incomprehensible, but he could not disobey his parents' earnestness.
Therefore, when he was young, he studied martial arts diligently, stole famous teachers behind his parents' backs, and was uninhibited.
and the crown, he can beat the world's scholars, and he can defeat the famous masters who once stole the teacher, and he is even more empty-eyed, but he is a famous disciple, pretending to be modest, and being weak and wronged, like heroic.
Now, he has become famous all over the world, fame and fortune are at his fingertips, but he has abandoned it like a shoe, he is confused, he is tired, he visits the mountains, rivers and lakes, debauchery, has no place to return, looks around the past, those are just the one others want, not the real him.
Chen Bi's body was fixed in the distance, obviously only one step away from the Heavenly Master, and when he stepped over, he would be able to see the Heavenly Master and ask the Heavenly Master to accept him and become a disciple, but this step seemed to be a thousand weights, and he couldn't take a step.
"At the beginning of the heart, the nature is good, the self is nothing, then it becomes virtue, the desire is gained, virtue is gained, it is virtue! Don't wake up yet, let alone when. Liu Shang's voice became more and more high-pitched, deafening, and he saw the obstacle in Chen Bi's heart, and used the Taoist voice of Daigo.
Chen Bi's whole body began to tremble, sweating profusely, he couldn't get out of the obstacle, fell into his past illusion, couldn't extricate himself, the past him, is famous, is profitable, is the existence that the world's scholars want to surpass, is illusory, but also real, pulling him, dragging him, reminding him with all kinds of temptations.
See clearly, all of this is your own hard work, it is all real, do you want to give up? Power, fame, prestige, both civil and military, the world knows, these are all yours, do you want to give up?
Over and over again, it was like a magic sound filling his ears, pulling Chen Pi into it, and the deeper he fell, he was about to sink deep into the mud, and when he couldn't extricate himself, outside the sky, it seemed that a sound sounded, and a thunderous rumble came.
If it weren't for Liu Shang's sudden shout, which woke him up, Chen Bi might not have entered the Tao, but entered the demon, he really became a demon with a thought, and became a Buddha with a thought.
Chen Pi let out a deep and long breath, his body shook a few times before he stood firm, and he breathed rapidly and thanked the invisible Heavenly Master in the distance: "Thank you Heavenly Master." ”
Liu Shang is so angry, aren't you going to apprentice? Why was you suddenly fooled into entering the devil's path, such a heart, how do you want me to accept you as a disciple.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he found that Chen Bi's breath was wrong, and hurriedly woke him up.
Liu Shang said to himself: "Is it it again?" He looked up at the sky, his eyes were vigilant, it was really pervasive, he was just accepting a disciple, this is also going to stir it up, if you want to stop it, the more I can't let you get your wish.
He put down his mind and understood that Chen Bi's heart was too heavy, and it was certain that he would be found by it, it seemed that if he didn't kill this guy's heart and demons, next time, he would let it take advantage of it.
"Heaven and earth are natural, and the filth is gone... Huang Lang Taiyuan, Bafang Shenwei... Nine days of proclamation... Dong Gang Taixuan... According to the line of the five mountains, the news of the eight seas..., the demon king is tied, and I am served... The ferocity dissipates, the Tao Qi lasts forever, scatters, and is as urgent as the law. ”
Before Chen Bi could react, a golden light shot from the stream, he was shocked, and he was about to dodge, but he was still a step too late, and he was touched by the golden light, but there was no discomfort at all, on the contrary, Chen Bi also felt an unprecedented lightness, wisps, Chen Bi's invisible qi from his body rose and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Liu Shang smiled, he saw that the qi machine was really it, and he didn't know if it was afraid of Liu Shang's distraction, or afraid of the mirror of this life, this time it didn't send out the power of heaven again, just a touch and go, very clean and neat.
"Chen Bi, where do you come from?" Liu Shang saw that his demons had retreated, and continued to pretend to be forced.
This hasn't become his own apprentice yet, so he took out to protect him once, consuming a small amount of mana, and wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't accept this disciple.
Chen Pi bowed to the ground, looked at the Heavenly Master who didn't know where in the distance between the mountains and streams, and said sincerely: "The kid is here to apprentice, and I am willing to ask the Heavenly Master to accept me as an apprentice." ”
Liu Shang smiled, his voice came from the mountains and forests, and his whereabouts were uncertain.
"Worship the poor as a teacher? If I accept you, I know that you will not get into trouble in the future, you should go, you and I have no fate. Liu Shang said deliberately.
Chen Bi's obstacle has been broken, and his body and mind are empty, how can he be fooled by Liu Shang's words again, hearing the words, but not in a hurry said: "I heard the avenue from Qizhou, and suddenly came to my senses, after Qizhou, I pursued the Heavenly Master to Chang'an, and heard that the Heavenly Master went north, I looked for it again, traveled thousands of miles, and never found the Heavenly Master. ”
He paused, and said again: "Chasing all the way, I heard the sound of the Heavenly Master's Xuanxuan Avenue, as the Heavenly Master said, if the kid and the Heavenly Master have no fate, how could I find this place, the Celestial Master often says that the fate of the world, how can you ignore the arrival of the fate, the kid please." ”
Liu Shang actually talked about the mouth cannon, and he really didn't have to be Chen Bi's opponent, after all, he was a professional, he was just an amateur, but this product was a person who wanted to be someone's teacher, so that the disciple stole the limelight, and was stunned by Chen Bi, and said in his heart, did I say it? Yes, I said that!
He was a little annoyed and angry, and said that Chen Bi was uncertain, and he was not the same, and the original plan was to take advantage of the situation to accept Chen Bi, but this second goods were precious again, thinking of Huang Shigong, the apprentice he accepted, respectful and humble, honestly helping to pick up shoes, he was good, accepting a disciple who could speak well, and snatching the white, so that he couldn't get off the stage, people were more popular than people, so he wanted Chen Bi to also taste the majesty of his teacher.
Chen Bi didn't know, there was originally a drama, but now something has changed, if he knew, perhaps, he would be smarter and choose to shut up.
Because, the first precept of Taoism, respect the teacher and the noble way.
"I'm virtuous..., yes, that's right, in this way, you are considered to have spiritual wisdom, since it is the fate of the law, then follow me, as for the disciple's affairs, and don't be in a hurry, are you willing?" He almost opened his mouth to say that he was foolish, he didn't know, if he opened his mouth, would it make him a Buddha gate out, it would really be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
So he fortunately came back in time, that it was still the trouble summoned by Liu Shang's random mouth, and now he is eating himself, which really makes him a little uneasy.
He agreed to Chen Bi, but he didn't agree to accept him as his disciple now, thinking beautifully, you little villain, let the teacher not come to the stage, don't let you see the majesty of the teacher, and don't let your tail go to the sky.
Chen Bi's face was ecstatic, and he shouted in his heart: "Disciple Chen Pi, meet the Heavenly Master." "The Heavenly Master didn't admit that he was an apprentice, and he didn't dare to call him a teacher.
The big insect carried Liu Shang and slowly appeared in front of the mountain stream, like a fairy man, the cold mist in the mountain, he was like stepping on the dense fairy clouds, with wide sleeves and broad belts, and his hands were on the white jade dust, no longer like the previous tattered Taoist robe, but the fairy fluttering purple clothes and belts, with a green hairpin on his head, sitting on the back of a mighty and strong tiger like a bull.
Chen Bi looked at him with reverence, and the mountains in his heart were up, it was really infinite, this is what a heavenly master should have, fairy wind bones, except for the slightly young appearance, which somewhat destroyed this majestic bearing, there was not much disobedience.
Liu Shang gave him all the beautiful fantasies, immortals, as it should be.
I only heard the Heavenly Master pretend to speak lightly: "Pick up the boots for the teacher." ”
As he spoke, he saw that this thing was thrown under his feet, and he deliberately threw his boots into the stream in front of Chen Pi, he really planned to learn from Huangshi Gongsan to try Zhang Liang, but is it really good to throw his boots so blatantly and deliberately?
Chen Bi was dumbfounded at first, and then looked at all this dumbfounded, he said in his heart, Heavenly Master, now that the weather is freezing, you throw your boots into the cold stream, and you can't wear them when you pick them up, is this a test for me?
Yes, Liu Shang forgot about it, it's winter, it's not summer, he is wearing brocade mink boots, and here is the north, when the boots are scooped up, Liu Sheng regretted it, his face twitched, and he looked at the hard boots that Chen Bi respectfully handed over, but they were frozen, and this outfit was too much.
"Make a fire and take it to dry."
