Chapter 33: On the Tao Taishang, the lame third master
The three masters and apprentices walked in Luoyang City, and Lu Xuan looked at the prosperity of the world curiously, slightly distracted.
Pedestrians and children, pawn traders, fortune tellers, horseback riders, green buildings in the alleys......
It's all fireworks in the world.
"What is this city?" Lu Xuan asked.
Zhang Ling smiled and explained:
"Luoyang, now one of the two capitals of the imperial dynasty."
"Erdu?"
"One is Hojing, the other is Luoyang, both are the national capital."
Lu Xuan nodded as if he didn't understand.
Following behind the teacher, walking slowly, it was clear that the city was boundless, and there were probably dozens or hundreds of Donghai cities, but it was only a cup of tea, and he walked from the city to the outside of the city.
This made him a little trance-like, and this kind of space was naturally cut off, rushing to the soul.
"This is a technique of shrinking the ground into inches, which can be called supernatural, but for the teacher, it is not an ordinary walk." Zhang Ling was relieved again.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly, and envy was born in his heart....... There are so many magical powers that teachers can have.
After walking for about an hour, he came to the foot of a majestic mountain.
Lao Tzu paused slightly, looked sideways and said:
"Xiao Xuan, you have blood in your body, but you killed it?"
"Yes." The young man bowed: "There are more than 100 people killed." β
Zhang Ling's eyes widened suddenly, not that he felt that it was a big sin to kill a hundred people, but he just felt incomprehensible, little junior brother...... Will also kill?
Dare to kill?
Lao Tzu's expression did not change, but he asked again:
"But are they all the ones who should be killed?"
"Both." The young man spoke in a loud voice: "For the sake of the disaster, everyone should be killed." β
"You are the way to kill by killing?"
"I don't know if I go back to the teacher."
Lao Tzu nodded again, and actually sat cross-legged under this majestic sacred mountain, and with a gentle stroke, a tea case appeared, curling with green smoke.
"Before seeing your two masters, first discuss the Tao with me, and discuss your way."
After a pause, he looked sideways and looked at Zhang Ling:
"You sit down too."
The two of them made an honest salute and coiled on the futon.
"Drink tea."
Lao Tzu calmly took two cups of hot tea and placed them in front of the desk, Lu Xuan didn't dare to resign, and hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully.
When the tea leaves were in his stomach, he was in a slight trance, only feeling that his mind was clear and pure, the doubts that had accumulated over the years dissipated, and the thoughts of all kinds of things were also restrained.
The body is pure, the mind is pure.
Lao Tzu also took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly:
"Each of my disciples, whether they are personally biography or named, I will discuss their own Tao with them, such as your Senior Brother Zhang, who is small, seeking to be famous in the world, and seeking to make the Dao Gate prosperous."
Zhang Ling pursed his lips and muttered in his heart, how could he pull it on himself again?
Besides, how can it be called a small road when it is a light avenue and makes a name for itself?
Lao Tzu spoke again at this time:
"Xiao Xuan, what about you? What is your fundamental desire? β
Lu Xuan put down the teacup with a solemn expression:
"Without him, only the world is clear."
The corner of Zhang Ling's mouth twitched, and he drank the tea in one gulp...... Well, compared to the little junior brother, the Tao he is seeking is indeed a little smaller.
"What is the world clear?" Lao Tzu asked.
"The people live in peace and enjoy their work, the immortals perform their duties, yin and yang are orderly, all things are not sad and parting, the world is the public, there is no disaster in the heavens and the earth, and there is no disaster."
"Difficult."
"Simplicity is the way, difficulty is also the way, and students should follow the way."
Lao Tzu looked at the young man fixedly:
"Even on this road, there are thousands of corpses?"
Lu Xuan pursed his lips and nodded.
"If you want to do this, you must be stronger than all living beings in the coming day, and at least be on the same level as the Great Way, so that you can have the slightest chance, and once there was a man who did so, and then he died."
"Dare to ask the teacher, this person's name?" Lu Xuan bowed solemnly: "This is the ancestor on this road, I should know his name." β
"He'......"
Lao Tzu smiled, I don't know if he was disdainful or emotional, and he returned to indifference:
"His name is Taiyi, and he once set up a court before this heavenly court, wanting to suppress the evil thoughts of all living beings with his own strength, which eventually led to a catastrophe, and was attacked by the immortals and Buddhas, and his body died and fell into the Nine Shadows."
Zhang Ling shuddered.
"Taiyi......" Lu Xuan nodded silently.
Lao Tzu asked again:
"So, would you still like to go this way? This is said to be the way to make the world clear, but in fact, it has to be [self-respecting] first? β
Zhang Ling shuddered again, and there was more fear and pity in his eyes when he looked at the little junior brother,
γExclusive to meγ....... What is self-esteem?
The Lord of the Three Qing Buddhas lives under it, and the Avenue of Heaven and Earth lives under it......
Impasse.
"I'm leaving!" Lu Xuan's tone was sonorous and unswerving: "I am the only one, not the end, but the means." β
Lao Tzu was silent for a long time, and a smile bloomed on his face:
"Great goodness."
"In this case, follow me to see your two uncles."
"It's just that if you really respect yourself in the future, don't forget your heart...... The defeat of Taiyi is due to the fact that he has not been exalted, and there is also the reason why he has lost his original heart. β
"Students understand."
"Let's go, then."
The three of them also went on the road, did not climb this majestic sacred mountain, but continued to move forward, from the dense forest path to the clouds and mist, and finally stopped when they broke the Taoist temple.
"Your two masters and uncles have thousands of bodies, this is the best one your third master and uncle are looking for, called [Yuhuan Daojun]."
After that, Lao Tzu knocked on the door three times.
The door opened.
............
'Knock, knock, knock!!' β
There were three knocks on the door, resounding inside and outside the universe, up and down the eight wildernesses.
Heavenly.
Miluo Heavenly Palace, the three halls shook together, and all the immortal officials were staggered, all of them were shocked, and all of them were shocked.
Above the high position, the emperor's corpse opened his eyes, and the immortal light cave penetrated all worlds for eternity, and his expression moved slightly.
"Your Majesty!" A great immortal official trembled at this time and spoke: "There is a great change in heaven and earth? Could it be that it is, it must be those Supreme Emperors......"
The emperor's corpse raised the palm of the flesh and blood, and only the craggy white bones remained, and pressed it down gently, but the immortals and officials didn't seem to see the white bones and the wisps of the emperor's blood, and they all bowed together.
He said,
"It's okay, Taishang knocks on the door and Yuhuan, unless there are rebellious ministers and thieves who make trouble, they are all quiet."
As he spoke, his gaze pierced through the Infinite Heavenly Realm, and he glanced at the four directions, and at the four of the six emperors who were facing each other from afar.
East Pole West Pole, South Pole Pole Arctic.
The immortals breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but immediately lifted their hearts suddenly, and their frightened hairs stood on end, and their bodies and minds were cold.
How many years have passed, Taiqing knocked on the door and cleared??
What's going on?
Could it be that the catastrophe is coming?!
...........
The Taoist temple is broken, and the door is open.
Lu Xuan and Zhang Ling followed Lao Tzu to the door, the golden wisps in the Taoist temple, overflowing with the essence of Yuchen, the purple smoke of Jiuqing, Yuhui Yaohuan, Jin Yingliuzhen, Knotification Hanxiu, Bao Ning Lishen!
Lu Xuan swallowed his saliva innocently, this third master's Taoist temple looks dilapidated on the outside, but it is indeed such a big pomp inside!
Yuhuan Avenue Jun......
He was shocked and saw that in the middle of the Taoist temple, there was a lame Taoist leaning on a long sword and limping.
"Senior Brother Taishang." He said calmly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but something has changed here?" β
As he spoke, the Taoist glanced at the two people behind Lao Tzu, his gaze skimmed over Zhang Ling, and fell on Lu Xuan's body, slightly stunned.
"It's really changed." He muttered to himself.
"It's in the middle of the day." Lao Tzu said with a smile, the Taoist bowed his head, and then the two of them were in the Taoist temple, step by step, until they were gone.
Lu Xuan looked confused, and said blankly:
"Senior brother, what about them, teacher?"
"Probably something." Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief at this time and patted his chest: "I was swept away by that person, and I was terrified, and I deserved the name of the murderer......"
"What?"
Lu Xuan didn't hear clearly, turned his head sideways in confusion, and then the child's heart moved slightly, and asked curiously:
"Senior Brother Zhang, was that our third master just now...... Why is he lame? β
Zhang Ling was shocked:
"What's that? How to get lame? Little junior brother, don't talk nonsense, the third master is hot-tempered, be careful of being scraped by the four swords! β
After a pause, he couldn't laugh or cry again:
"But junior brother, what kind of eyes do you have? Lame can tell...... You don't have an eye disease, do you? β
Lu Xuan was even more dazed now, muttering in his heart, I have an eye disease?
But just now, the third master uncle was obviously lame.......
Senior Brother Zhang has an eye disease, and it's almost the same!
