What appeared outside the window was a girl of the same age as Ah Chun, and I only heard her say: "Lang Jun, make Jun call you to the hall to eat." ”

"Okay, who's with you?"

"There is also a Taoist priest who also called Xiao Langjun." The girl said.

"Okay, we'll be there soon, you go back first."

"Yes, Lang Jun hurry up, don't let you wait for a long time." With that, the figure vanished.

Chen Fan walked to the bookshelf, took the paper in his hand, sat down in front of the bookcase, and flipped through the paper manuscript. Mainly depends on whether there is a signature, in ancient times, the name was generally written behind the title, in front of the text, from top to bottom, from right to left writing, this era continued to use this habit, although Chen Fan is not used to it, but this does not prevent him from looking for his name, sure enough, I didn't turn over two, I saw an article signed by Chen Fasheng, titled "On Weakness", the content was not read, I knew that my surname was Chen, and sure enough, the name was Fasheng.

After flipping through the names, the mood was relieved, Ah Chun happened to bring a tray over, Chen Fan pretended to be careless and put the manuscript aside, pressed it down with a bamboo slip, and looked at the tray, on which not only a belt and hosta were placed, but also a comb and a copper mirror.

Ah Chun picked up the comb and said, "Lang Jun, tie up your hair first." ”

"Okay." Chen Fan replied, he didn't plan to take the comb from Ah Chun's hand, and comb his hair by himself, the key is that he won't. Naturally, he picked up the bronze mirror from the tray and took it up, the mirror was actually silvery-white, probably coated with a layer of tin, although it was not as clear as the modern mirror, but it was also clear. In the mirror, a handsome young man with double eyelids is displayed, in Chen Fan's eyes, he is definitely a handsome guy, but it is not good to be handsome, a man must be talented, and Chen Fan is in this world, what he lacks most at present is talent.

Xu is the relationship of time, Ah Chun combed his hair very quickly, Chen Fan originally had the hair on his forehead in front of him backwards, Ah Chun tied the hair behind Chen Fan upward, pulled a bun in the middle of the back of his head, inserted a hosta, did not change the robe, and directly matched a blue belt on it, and there was a piece of grandmother jade in the center of the belt, which was shining.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the courtyard, covering the courtyard with a red veil.

Ah Chun led Chen Fan to the main hall, the main hall was not far from where Chen Fan lived, out of the courtyard, along the tree-lined path, and didn't go far to arrive.

I saw the position of the main hall facing the door, put two desks, the father sat in the right position, and there was a Taoist priest wearing a yellow gossip Taoist robe sitting on the side, and there were two desks on both sides of the hall, a total of four, Chen Fan had seen it on TV, the ancients would generally eat a table for one person when they met guests. Of the four desks, three were already full, leaving only the one closest to the door empty, and the desks were empty, and they hadn't been served yet, Chen Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he hadn't started yet.

"Meet Father." Chen Fan knelt down in a proper manner and saluted.

"Master, this is the third son of this Wu, Chen Fasheng. Come, I've seen Master Jia. Chen's father said.

"Meet the Mage." Chen Fan said respectfully, automatically omitting the word "Jia". That's the benefit of knowing preferences beforehand.

"Lang Jun doesn't have to be polite." The Taoist chief sitting on the seat bowed slightly.

The other three cases, Chen Fan raised his eyes and looked, the eldest brother had seen it in the clip, and under the eldest brother was a young man, who looked slightly younger than the eldest brother, but was older than Aqing, but he had never seen it, I don't know if it was Xiao Langjun, and Aqing on the other side had just seen it, but I didn't know if it was appropriate to call Aqing on this occasion, and I didn't think much about it at the moment, I bowed to the eldest brother and the other two one by one, and then said: "I've seen all the brothers." After speaking, he looked at the eldest brother first.

The eldest brother smiled slightly, pointed to the empty desk and said, "Fa Sheng, let's sit first." Chen Fan didn't go over immediately, but looked at the other two cases, saw that they were all bowed, and didn't say anything, and finally looked at his father, and saw that his father also nodded, so he got up and walked towards the desk, and just sat down, he heard his father say: "Fa Sheng, do you still have any discomfort?"

"No, thank you for your concern. I just invited Shi Langzhong to come and see, and he said that the child is now clear and wise, and there is no major problem, just calm his nerves. As the patient's parents, they are actually most concerned about how it is now, whether it can be cured, as for the cause of the previous injury, they don't particularly care, although Chen Fan has already thought of a word, but Chen's father did not ask, and Chen Fan did not answer.

Father Chen nodded, turned his head to the mage and said: "My son is not very successful, his studies are average, he loves to play chess, he originally planned to let him go to Tianshui Academy to study in the future, to see if it is possible to develop chess, but he was in a coma for three days before, and he just woke up today, it is said that his soul is injured, and he wants to have the opportunity to worship the Taoist Gate, learn the method of strengthening the soul, and prolong his life." ”

Master Jia bowed his head slightly and said: "Guan Ling Lang Heavenly Court is full, the blessings are profound, if you have a relationship with the Tao, you can enter the Tao to study." ”

"So there is Master Law. This Xiao Qing Gongzi, who has met with the mage just now, has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and has now entered the Gandao Academy to study, if there is a chance, I hope that the mage can give more guidance. ”

"The Qiandao Academy is opened for the Baiyun Temple, its Qianyuan Imperial Sword Technique and Yunshui Arithmetic are quite impressive, after entering to practice these two techniques, it is not weak to fight with people, but the high depths of these two techniques, you can only practice to the Baiyun Temple, in the Kun Dao Academy is just some introductory kung fu, relatively superficial, you can lay a good foundation first, slowly figure it. I view the inheritance of the Zhenwu Emperor, with the Zhenqing Taoist Academy, into the view that there is an organic fate to cultivate the superior classics, there are 261 kinds of "Taoist Collection", 1299 volumes, for the Taoist scriptures, "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing" is the supreme law that directly refers to the Yuan Shen, one of the Taoist mystical scriptures, but it is necessary to have a great opportunity to comprehend, if you want to strengthen the soul, you can learn this scripture. ”

"What is 'only those who have great opportunity can attain enlightenment'? In the past, there was the internal strength of fighting cattle across the mountains on the earth, and it also took great opportunity to learn it, the most famous "The Emperor's New Clothes", which can only be seen by 'sages', why do you feel that the routine is deep when you listen to this? Chen Fan listened and listened, hoping that this mage could show one or two hands and take a look, just talking about not practicing fake tricks.

Fortunately, Master Jia did not boast too much about his Taoist temple, but after introducing the Tibetan scriptures of the lower Taoist temple, he continued: "What do you know about the Tao, and what is the Tao? ”

After speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Chen Fan.

There are only two people on Chen Fan's side, Xiao Qing and himself. Chen Fan saw it really just now, when his father said "Xiao Qing's son", he was referring to Aqing, but he didn't know why he used the title of son. In addition, Chen Fan estimated that in addition to the eldest brother, the person sitting opposite may be the second brother, although he can't be named for the time being, but it shouldn't be wrong, the main reason is that the girl only said that there was a mage and Xiao Langjun to participate in the banquet, and it should be the name of the family in the house to participate in the banquet.

At this time, the mage looked at Chen Fan, Chen Fan pretended not to know why to look at Xiao Qing, but fortunately, there was a tall person who stood on it, and directly understood it as asking Xiao Qing, thinking in his heart, "Who told me not to see who the mage's eyes fell on?" ”

It is estimated that Xiao Qing did not resist the pressure, and seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he took the question, "Master, 'Dao Ke Dao, very Dao, famous name, very famous.' Although the Tao can be spoken, the Tao is not immutable, but evolving and changing. Tao is a concept, and it is given a name, called 'Tao', but this is just a name, and does not represent 'Tao' itself. The Tao does not have to be confined to the name or form, but lies in one's own perception, such as achieving a goal and using the method, which can be varied and can be called the Tao. So, in my opinion, the Tao is the method and the law. ”

"Very good." The mage nodded and said, "What does the mage understand?" ”

How do you answer that? According to the Tao Te Ching, the Tao is cultivating the mind and cultivating virtue, cultivating the mind and cultivating virtue, all good and evil are born from the heart, and since sin is born from the heart, it needs to be destroyed from the heart. A gentleman should be as good as water and virtuous, that is, the gentleman's character should benefit all things like water, but he should not compete for fame and fortune; It should be as thick as the earth, to contain all things in the world. This is the Tao pursued by Lao Tzu, but this is very different from what Aqing said, Aqing said so much, it means that he didn't say anything, the Tao is a method, a law, isn't it a good and bad way to be the Tao? Although Chen Fan has not read the "Tao Te Ching", he still knows the basic respect for the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu, which represents the Taoist inaction: eliminate the selfish desires in his heart, preserve the principles of heaven, destroy human desires, and let his words and deeds comply with the laws of nature, physiology and society.

After thinking about it, Chen Fan replied calmly: "I don't know." In my mind, the Tao is broad and profound, inclusive of all things, you can learn the Tao from the Master, you can also learn the Tao from the Master, you can learn from the Father, you can learn from the Nature, from the Master, with friends, from the Academy, in the market, in the farmland, and in the career of the Teacher, and I am only a shallow learner now, and I still need to learn a lot and experience it carefully, so I can say 'what is the Tao', please forgive the Master. "Don't answer when you don't answer well, praising others, lowering your figure, is the only way to behave in the world, especially on issues with theories and doctrines, why bother to take an ideological benchmark to make people attack, low-key, put in line with the answer in each theory, is the standard answer, so Chen Fan finally chose to answer the answer that is equal to no answer.

"Very good, very good." The mage nodded, turned his head sideways and said to Father Chen, "I have asked many people what is the question of the Tao, and I have never heard anyone answer like Ling Lang. ”

"The child can't make a weapon, so that the mage can laugh." Although Chen's father was scolding Chen Fan, the irrepressible joy between his eyebrows couldn't hide his true thoughts.

"No, although I think Linglang is young, he is calm in his speech, clear in conditioning, down-to-earth and studious, and he will be able to succeed in the future."

"The mage praised it, let's talk while eating." Father Chen finally couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, and said with a smile on his face. The mage bowed slightly.

"It's not too early, let's take a seat." Father Chen shouted outside the hall.

With the opening of the table, the maidservant who had already prepared outside the hall walked into the hall with the dishes.

Chen Fan's right eye suddenly jumped up, "The left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, what bad things are going to happen?" ”
