Chapter 246 Natural Avenue
Lu Yun's conscience he has already figured out, his cultivation is not to become an immortal, nor is it to be the first in the world, his conscience is actually very simple, that is, to protect relatives and friends, and explore his own life experience.
This is the purpose of his cultivation, and it is also the direction he has been working towards, and it has never changed.
With a clear conscience, Lu Yun felt that his cultivation had become open-minded, and at least the path from the third to the sixth level had been opened.
The only pity is that he has not yet comprehended the three Qings or the incarnation outside the body, and he has also thought carefully about the Tao Te Ching, but he still feels that many things can't be figured out, I don't understand, and I always seem to feel that there are shortcomings.
He had a feeling that the Tao Te Ching might have something to do with the two stunts, and if he could understand the Tao Te Ching, he would be able to learn the two stunts.
And the Tao Te Ching is by no means only capable of comprehending two stunts, he feels that the Tao Te Ching is still a kind of cultivation direction, but these are too far away from him, and he can't understand it yet.
On this day, he came to the third floor again, and finally saw the old man again and started a conversation with the old man.
The old man is responsible for taking care of a medicinal field in the Sanqing faction, and also raises flowers and plants, and is very busy on weekdays, with only two days off every month.
Only when he rests, he will come to the third floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and sit here to look at the golden bamboo book left by his ancestors.
The old man came here at the age of twenty and began to take care of the medicine field, and it has been more than forty years now, and most of his life has been spent here.
Lu Yun sighed for a while, for more than forty years, I didn't expect the old man to be so persistent.
At the same time, he was also happy in his heart, the old man also read the Tao Te Ching, and he read the original version of the Tao Te Ching directly, I don't know how the old man understood it.
He hugged his fists at the old man and humbly asked: "Old man, I don't know what you understand after reading the Tao Te Ching for so long?" ”
The old man waved his calloused hands: "I don't dare to be, but I do have some experience." ”
"The Tao Te Ching of the ancestors is unfathomable, the monks have the understanding of the monks, and the ordinary people have the understanding of ordinary people when they see it, and the more you look at it, the deeper you go, the greater the harvest, which can be described as endless."
"I haven't really understood this scripture after reading it for so many years, but I have some gains, which may be related to my daily work."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and the old man said: "The Tao Te Ching pays attention to the Tao and the law of nature, there is no desire and no desire, there are heavenly ways and humanitarian ways on it, and it covers a wide range. ”
"But I think the most important thing in the Tao Te Ching is the natural avenue, which emphasizes a smooth word, and believes that everything in people must follow the natural avenue in order to achieve no desire and no desire, and no action to govern."
Lu Yun was shocked in his heart, what the old man saw was really different from him, what he saw was the monk's Tao Te Ching, and he couldn't do it without desires in his heart, so he couldn't see this.
The old man is an ordinary person, but he can do no desire and no desire, so he can see the natural road in the Tao Te Ching.
Next, Lu Yun and the old man began to talk constantly, and the old man also said a lot of his understanding, which made Lu Yun's understanding of the Tao Te Ching more profound.
The old man has no flowery rhetoric, only ordinary words, but it is these ordinary words that clearly explain the natural path of the Tao Te Ching.
The two talked for a whole day, during which the old man took out the steamed buns he made for Lu Yun to taste, and Lu Yun did not refuse, and swallowed the steamed buns with great gusto.
He is now deeply involved in it, unable to extricate himself, and only hopes that he can fully understand the Tao Te Ching as soon as possible.
However, although the old man understood it, Lu Yun still had a lot of things that he couldn't understand, after all, he hadn't experienced it, and it was difficult to feel it personally.
Thinking of this, when the old man was about to leave, Lu Yun proposed to follow the old man in the past, wanting to experience the old man's work and life, and better feel what the old man said.
The old man was naturally happy, he could have a lot more helper, he would be much easier, but he offered to let Lu Yun go again tomorrow, because he had no place to live there for the time being, and when he went back at night to clean up and make room for Lu Yun.
Back at the residence, Lu Yun thought of taking care of the elixir, so he planned to put the little white dog in the residence, he was afraid that the little white dog would eat the elixir indiscriminately and affect the old man.
He took the little white dog out, put it on the bed, and explained to the little white dog, the little white dog was full of spirituality, and nodded to show that he understood.
This made Lu Yun a little surprised, could it be because he only ate elixir, and his spirituality was so strong.
In order to prevent the little white dog from being hungry, he directly took out more than 20 elixirs and put them in the room, he estimated that he should have taken it for more than 20 days.
Early the next morning, Lu Yun came directly to the valley where the old man was, where the formation pattern was set up, and it was the place where the Sanqing Sect planted elixirs.
There are more than 30 large medicine fields set up in it, and twenty or thirty elixirs are planted in each medicine field, but they are all only elixirs.
Next to the medicine field, there is a row of simple wooden houses, where the old man lived and lived.
At the back of the house, there are all kinds of flowers and plants, which look very pleasing to the eye, if you don't care about anything else, this is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.
The old man was watering a medicine field at this time, which was one of his jobs, and when he saw Lu Yun coming, he put down his work and took Lu Yun to a house that had just been cleaned.
Next, the old man introduced to Lu Yun the main work here, which is generally to water the medicine fields, water and fertilize the flowers and plants, and sometimes pull out the useless spirit grass.
The work is simple and monotonous, but if you put your mind to it, it is not a simple job, after all, there are many medicinal fields, and there are also many elixirs.
When Lu Yun came, he naturally took on these tasks, and he began to take care of the elixir and water and fertilize the flowers and plants instead of the old man.
The life of the old man is very regular, every day at sunrise and sunset, eating two meals a day, are simple coarse tea and light rice, and rarely see oil and water.
When the old man has nothing to do, he will also go to a rock next to the valley to see the scenery, and here you can see the mountain peaks and scenery in the distance.
Lu Yun naturally learned one by one and followed suit, of course, he didn't rest directly at night, and was still thinking about some cultivation problems.
It was very quiet, no one disturbed him, and he listened to the stream and the birdsong, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Five days later, Lu Yun became the same as the old man, no longer thinking about cultivation, just working every day, sunrise and sunset, very regular.
Ten days later, Lu Yun had completely adapted to this kind of life, he seemed to have completely forgotten about cultivation, and his mentality was closer to the old man.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the full text of the Tao Te Ching appeared in Lu Yun's mind, combined with his own experience of this month, and then compared with the old man's decades of understanding and understanding, it finally fully matched the artistic conception of the Tao Te Ching.
At this moment, he completely realized in his heart that this was the natural avenue described in the Tao Te Ching, and he was just a member of this natural avenue.
