Chapter 21: The Great Grandmaster
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Ye Feng, his heart full of surprise.
To be honest, he didn't actually expect what he said earlier to be understood by Ye Feng.
Although he has tried his best to describe this period of change in his heart, this is after all his inner comprehension of martial arts and the Great Dao, which is a feeling, which is actually difficult to describe in words.
The Tao is very good, and it is very good.
Realization is in the heart, not in words.
What's more, he is now facing such a young Ye Feng, how many things can he experience, how can he resonate with what he has experienced, seen and heard, and accumulated over the years?
Therefore, when Zhang Sanfeng was talking about this period of his mental journey, he never thought that Ye Feng could fully understand.
But he understood, and he even said something like "This is the way", which made Zhang Sanfeng feel shocked.
How could he understand what the Tao was?
How many cultivators in the world are unable to comprehend one or two "Dao" with all their life's energy, but they are said by the young man in front of him.
Zhang Sanfeng didn't believe it.
He asked with a calm face, "Do you learn the way?"
Ye Feng shook his head.
In this life, except for following his master Demon Sword Demon Fifth Floor for ten years, he has no other teacher, let alone studied any "Tao" with concentration.
Zhang Sanfeng felt even more strange: "Then how do you know what the Tao is?"
Ye Feng thought about it, seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, and replied slowly: "Lao Tzu once said in the Tao Te Ching, man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. The Tao is void of Moyes, which fills between heaven and earth, between nature and all things. ”
"Just now my predecessor mentioned that we should understand ourselves, others, all living beings in the world, and understand their birth, old age, sickness and death, all these unchangeable natural laws, I think, this is the Tao. ”
Zhang Sanfeng was a little stunned, he was also under the guidance of the Master Fire Dragon Zhenren, plus his own years of experience and experience, in order to have such an understanding, the young boy in front of him, can actually understand such a truth, it is really beyond his expectations.
He asked with some surprise: "So, you haven't studied the Tao, and you know what the Tao is just by your own perception of a sentence in the Tao Te Ching?"
His expression made Ye Feng a little stunned, could it be that he was wrong?
Ye Feng didn't dare to say more, and looked at Zhang Sanfeng a little timidly.
Zhang Sanfeng sighed: "Sure enough, he is the chosen son, he is talented, and Lao Dao'er has never had such a feeling at your age." ”
He shook his head and sighed: "My disciple Xuanzong, although he has a bit of talent in martial arts, has never had any wisdom in cultivation, and finally he still can't lose his fame, honor and disgrace, and Wudang." As everyone knows, in fact, these are just passing clouds, and the things outside the body are not enough. ”
His sigh was full of self-deprecating sadness: "People say that I am the founder of the sect and the great grandmaster of the world, but unfortunately, I have not met an excellent apprentice like Ye Gongzi." ”
It seemed that he hadn't said anything wrong before, and Ye Feng's heart suddenly settled.
He couldn't help but say again: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with Elder Li valuing Wudang and prestige, honor and disgrace. These are his intentions, and they are also natural, if you have to change him and let him discard these, it will seem too deliberate
If you lose your heart, it is not natural. ”
Zhang Sanfeng stroked his palms and laughed: "Yes, yes, this is the reason why Lao Dao'er did not interfere with him at the beginning, but chose to travel abroad." Everything today is also true to him, his nature, and his way. ”
He looked at Ye Feng's eyes, which were already full of love, and suddenly asked, "Ye Gongzi is so insightful, I don't know if he is interested in Taoism?"
Ye Feng was taken aback in his heart.
This is tantamount to showing that there is a intention to take him as a disciple.
What kind of person is Zhang Sanfeng, what kind of seniority? Since becoming famous for a hundred years, who in the rivers and lakes does not admire?
But he is only known as an apprentice of Wudang Elder Li Xuanzong, but now he has revealed that he wants to accept Ye Feng as an apprentice, which is tantamount to a blessing from heaven, and anyone will feel flattered.
But Ye Feng hesitated.
He looked up at the dirty, torn, black greasy dirt on Zhang Sanfeng's body, and even some oily robes, lowered his head and made no sound.
The road to seeking the Tao was originally extremely difficult, and Ye Feng had known this for a long time.
It's not that he's afraid of hardship, but he still has a lot of things in his heart that he can't let go, his friends, his brothers, and Miss Cheng waiting for him.
Also, there is the sudden dream that appears in his dreams from time to time.
All of this made him unable to let go of all this without concern to pursue any "Tao".
What's more, he has been famous since he was a child, and he can be regarded as pampered, but the kind of "nature" embodied in the sloppy Zhang Lao Daoer in front of him is really very different from his living habits, incompatible, and it is difficult for him to feel recognized.
Besides, he has a master, although his master Demon Sword Demon Fifth Floor asked him to come to Zhongnan Mountain to meet the master, he didn't say that he would change the door and throw himself into the door of others.
So he had no choice but to remain silent.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at his reaction, of course he knew what he was thinking, and sighed with some regret: "Ye Gongzi, in fact, you are now on the threshold of the Dao, as long as you have the guidance of the Master, given time, it is not difficult to reach the realm of entering the hall and becoming a family of your own." It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Ye Feng felt that it was not a pity at all when he heard this, but he felt a burst of relief in his heart.
After all, he still belongs to his friends, his brothers, and to this ever-changing and colorful rivers and lakes!
Zhang Sanfeng was still sighing in his ear: "Actually, I should have known, since you are the chosen one in the prophecy, how could you leave everything behind and go to the Wandering Cultivator with me?
Prophecy?
What prophecy?
Ye Feng was curious in his heart.
He remembered what the young Sanji had said to him, and seemed to mention some prophecy.
Is it the same thing that they say with their mouths?
Ye Feng couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the seniors, what Chosen Son has been mentioned several times before, what kind of prophecy are you talking about, and what is the matter with the Chosen Son?"
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at him with slanted eyes, blinked a few times, and said with a smile: "The time has not come, and the heavenly opportunity must not be revealed." When the time comes, Ye Gongzi, you will naturally know everything. ”
When Ye Feng heard this, it was like the words that Xiao Sanji said at the beginning, and the clouds and mountains were foggy, which made people confused.
He couldn't help but say a little frustratedly: "I understand that the important thing is not to know the result, but to experience it yourself! This experience process may be the true meaning of life." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Sanfeng was even more surprised, and stared at Ye Feng with round eyes.
He couldn't believe that a young boy in front of him could understand such a truth, and say such profound words so lightly.
How did he know that Ye Feng's words were just picking up people's teeth, but in fact, he didn't understand the deep meaning at all.
Ye Feng saw that Zhang Sanfeng's expression was different, and he knew that he was frightened by his own words that he didn't even understand, and he didn't dare to say any more at the moment, for fear that if he continued, he would be careless and show his feet.
He quickly changed the topic and asked: "I don't know who the old man in Huayi who played against his predecessors before? Listening to what he said, it seems that he came here specifically to come here, but when he came to Zhongnanshan this time, he was ordered by his master, and no one else knew why he came suddenly?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "Who is this person, you will naturally understand when you see him in the future." This time, he didn't come to Zhongnan Mountain entirely for you, he originally wanted to compete with my old Taoist and divide the superiority. ”
Ye Feng was shocked when he heard this, this old man in gorgeous clothes actually came to compete with Zhang Sanfeng, although he was defeated, but his martial arts are so high that he must be able to run rampant in the rivers and lakes, making everyone look sideways.
It is a bit unbelievable that such a character with such skills and such a character as Nanshan Qi is not an opponent at all, and he has never heard of his name.
Zhang Sanfeng continued: "As for the news of Ye Gongzi's trip to Zhongnanshan, in fact, it is not airtight and no one knows. Didn't the Wenlan prince who walked with Ye Gongzi before tell him by Ye Gongzi himself?"
Vinland Childe?
Ye Feng's heart was shocked, by the way, he did mention to Wenlan Gongzi that the destination of his trip was Zhongnan Mountain.
It's just that at that time, he thought that the other party was just an ordinary mountain goods merchant, so he didn't take precautions, and said it casually, and he didn't take it to heart afterwards.
Now hearing Zhang Sanfeng say this, he suddenly remembered, could it be that this Wenlan Gongzi is really an unfathomable and terrifying figure as Murong Haohua said?
What is the relationship between him and this old man in Chinese clothes who dares to look for Zhang Sanfeng to compete?
Ye Feng looked at Zhang Sanfeng and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It seems that the answer to all this is known to this sloppy old man in front of him, but since he refuses to say it, then he really can't find out a word.
If you can learn the mind reading technique of Seven Uncle Mo and know what this old Taoist is thinking in his heart, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of Seventh Uncle Mo Qizhong, Ye Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Thinking about it, he suddenly let out an "ah" in surprise and blurted out.
He remembered.
He remembered that he had seen the mysterious seriously ill man in the carriage of Prince Wenlan earlier, why were his eyes so familiar?
Because of that look, he'd seen it.
And the last time I saw this look, it was in the valley where the master lived in seclusion.
The owner of this look is none other than the contemporary Mo family giant, the seventh uncle Mo Qizhong!
