"The Word is the foundation of all things. Everything in the world begins with the Tao. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an tried to put it as plain as possible, "Tao is everywhere, unborn and imperishable, formless and imageless. ”

Shen Yun is like a cloud mountain fog cover. Well, he understands every word that Master Yong'an says. However, when these words were connected, he was completely unintelligible.

What the hell was it? He still didn't understand.

Seeing this, the deputy sect envoy of Yong'an sighed: "Cultivation follows fate, and the immortal fate is determined." Shen Yun, you are a mortal without spiritual roots, and you are destined to have no chance with the Tao in this life. So, don't force it. Completing your studies with peace of mind is the right way. ”

Well, Shen Yun understood this sentence, and immediately asked: "Master Yong'an, disciple asks, what is the meaning of the righteous way? Is it one of the ways? How many kinds of ways are there in the world?" If there are really many kinds of Tao in the world, he doesn't dare to ask for too much, just one of them is enough.

Why are you so stubborn? I don't listen to persuasion at all. Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an was about to laugh angrily at him, and patiently explained: "This 'Dao' is not the other 'Dao', how can it be confused? You ask this seat, how many kinds of Tao are there in the world? The mystery of the Tao is so far, this seat is just a leopard in the tube. As the saying goes, there are three thousand Taoisms, and that is a virtual finger. This seat thinks that the Tao is everywhere and innumerable. ”

Shen Yun didn't care how many Dao Fa there were. All he had to know was one of them. Immediately, he opened his mouth to ask again.

I didn't want to, but Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an waved his hand: "Shen Yun, it's useless to talk more, you can step back." ”

Because I don't have a spiritual root, Master Yong'an doesn't want to spend more time with me. That's what it means, right? Shen Yunyi came over, and the excitement in his heart swept away. He was so depressed that he could only bow and leave.

When he walked out of the house, Deputy Priest Yongan shook his head, reached out and rubbed his temple, and said in his heart: I'm really crazy. Talking to a mortal boy with no spiritual roots!

If it spreads out, it will definitely become a laughing stock! This old face can't be hung up.

Therefore, he decided that today's events must not be heard by others. Originally, before this, he was going to tell Senior Sister Yuning about Shen Yun's greed for studying, but now, he was afraid that he would accidentally leak today's troubles, so he decided to give up.

And after Shen Yun returned to his room, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became—Ziying's predecessor clearly said that mortals can cultivate! And when he cultivates to a high level, he will not be worse than a monk with a spiritual root. Why can't I ask?

Just as warriors have ranks, he guesses, monks also have ranks. Moreover, he was convinced that Ziying's predecessors' Taoism was far higher than that of Master Yong'an.

Therefore, it must be that Master Yongan is wrong.

But what if it's wrong? Master Yong'an clings to his spiritual root and doesn't want to talk to him at all. What can he do?

Lying on the bed, he chewed on Master Yong'an's answer to the Tao over and over again.

What he could probably understand was that Master Yong'an first answered what the Tao was, and then said the form of the Tao.

The previous sentence, "the origin of all things" and "everything begins with the Tao", is so general.

And "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things" is even more difficult to understand.

Shen Yun wanted to break his head, but he still didn't know what it meant, so he could only skip it.

The latter sentence: Tao is everywhere.

Well, this half sentence is the only thing he can understand, it should be that there is Taoism everywhere in the world.

But what the hell is "immortal, formless, and imageless"?

Shen Yun pondered for an afternoon, his head was as big as a bucket, and he looked up to the sky and sighed melancholy: "Is there really such an existence in the world?" No wonder Taishi Zu has traveled all his life and traveled all over thousands of rivers and mountains, but he has not been able to find the answer. The same is true of the Master and the Master.

However, this time it was not without harvest - the Taishi Ancestor traveled around the world, which was a way to find answers, and it was also one of the ways for him to find answers in books through reading, and it was even more difficult to directly invite the teachers and honorables.

Who do you turn to next?

Shen Yun went through the several masters he had talked about in his heart, and decided to consult Master Qian.

It stands to reason that among several masters, the highest Taoist should be Master Yuning. However, with Master Yong'an's attitude towards mortals asking questions first, Shen Yun no longer dared to ask Master Yuning for advice. Besides, Master Yuning, as the envoy of the Martial Academy, is not something he can see if he wants to see.

Three days later, he went to Master Qian's boxing class again.

On this day, Shen Yun was unusual, rushed to the auditorium early, and occupied the front row.

After Master Qian finished speaking, he got up and wanted to walk out of the pavilion.

Shen Yun rushed up with an arrow step, and under the pavilion, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Master Qian, disciple Shen Yun is confused, please give me advice." ”

Brush, all the disciples looked at it. Although the masters have said that if you have any questions, you can ask. However, the masters came and went in a hurry, and the disciples were also afraid of the majesty of the masters, and did not dare to speak rashly. Shen Yun's move was the first time in the pharmacy.

Because Yuan Feng and the others came late, they all sat in the usual position and did not sit with him. Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and they were extremely surprised.

Chen Hu lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder he came over early today and sat in the first row alone." ”

The implication is that Shen Yun deliberately wants to be in the limelight.

Next to him, Long Chen gently touched him with his elbow.

In front, Master Qian had already walked to the edge of the pavilion. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at the people in the audience, feeling a little impressed. So, he put down the sentence "follow me", and walked straight to the side door as usual.

"Yes. Shen Yun took a deep breath and chased after him.

didn't even let Shen Yun ask questions in public...... The disciples were disappointed, whispered, and left together.

Yuan Feng retracted his gaze and said to everyone: "Brother Shen Xian is afraid that he won't be able to come back for a while. Let's go first. In fact, he also has a few moves that he has not been able to grasp, and he really wants to consult Master Qian in person. However, every time he saw Master Qian's black face, he became timid.

It's funny to say that the eldest son and grandson of the dignified Yuan family didn't dare to ask questions to the masters alone.

Well, others don't know that in the Yuan family, he Yuan Feng is actually a very embarrassing existence - although he is the grandson of the long family, however, since he was six years old, he has been judged to have no talent in martial arts. If it weren't for the fact that his mother only had one son, and the power of the maternal clan was not weak, he would have been squeezed by two cousins with outstanding martial arts talents, and his status would not be guaranteed.

This time, being able to go to the Hongyun Martial Arts Hall to learn art was also facilitated by the two uncles. Otherwise, according to the arrangement of the head of the family, grandfather, he will go to the shop with the other cousins to learn to do things.

Yuan Feng knew his situation since he was a child. Therefore, he seems to be generous and easy-going, but in fact, he is sensitive and inferior, and he is often indecisive when he does things.

is also a mediocre martial arts talent, but Shen Yun is like a ray of sunshine. Although he is young, he is resolute, self-confident and self-reliant, and does not lose his affinity.

This is a warm color that has never appeared in Yuan Feng's fourteen years of life. In contrast, he took a deeper understanding of the haze in his heart, and couldn't help but want to get closer - it turned out that it was not a sin to have no talent in martial arts. I can also straighten my waist and live with dignity.

It's just that freezing three feet is not a day's work. How can the inferiority complex and cowardice that have been cultivated over the years be changed in just a few months?

Yuan Feng clenched his fists and secretly decided: Well, next time, I will ask boldly like Shen Yun.

Shen Yun followed Master Qian through the side door, only to know that there was a small wooden building behind the door.

Qian Shizun took him into a room on the first floor, walked straight to the long couch in front of the window, and sat down casually. Pointing to a square pestle next to him: "You sit." ”

"Yes. Shen Yun went over and sat down sideways.

"Your name is Shen Yun?" Qian Shizun looked at him, "You seem to have received the task of the boxing exam." ”

"Yes. Shen Yun responded.

"Hmm, what do you want to ask? Are you worried that you won't be able to complete the task?" Master Qian couldn't help but look at him.

"The disciple would like to ask you to teach me what the Tao is. After listening to Master Qian several times, Shen Yun thought that Master Qian was a cool person, so he went straight to the point and asked questions directly.

"Zi-", Qian Shizun inhaled and changed his sitting position. Holding his two knees with his palms, he leaned over and asked, "What is the Tao?"

"Yes. Shen Yun nodded again.

Master Qian blinked his eyes, pursed his lips, and replied, "Shen Yun, you should ask those cultivators this question. ”

Shen Yun sneered: "The disciple has consulted Master Yong'an. Master Yong'an also answered, but the disciple did not understand. I wanted to ask again, but Master Yong'an said that the disciple has no spiritual root, and it is useless to talk more. ”

Qian Shizun nodded: "Indeed." It is rare that the chief of Yongan can answer your questions. In other words, most Taoists don't talk about the Tao with mortals like us. ”

Scratching his head, he continued, "What is Dao? Shen Yun, I don't know. I can't answer you. However, many years ago, I heard a great martial sect mention that he would enter the Tao with martial arts. That Great Martial Sect is also a mortal, and five years ago, I happened to hear a rumor from this Great Martial Sect, saying that he went to the Immortal Gate to cultivate. It can be seen that mortals should be able to cultivate the Tao. Therefore, over the years, I have been more attentive to martial arts, hoping that one day, like that great martial artist, I can enter the Tao with martial arts. ”

Well, Master Qian's words are much easier to understand. Shen Yun suddenly realized: "You mean, if a disciple has practiced to the Great Martial Sect, it is possible to find the answer?"

Master Qian nodded: "I thought that if you enter the Dao, you will naturally know what the Dao is." ”

The Great Martial Sect! The highest realm of a martial artist! How many people in the world can train to the realm of the Great Martial Sect? In the Aoki Gate, the one with the best qualifications is the Taishi Ancestor. He has been practicing hard all his life, and he is far from being able to reach it. Shen Yun only felt that his scalp was numb, and said weakly: "Disciple's martial arts qualifications ......"

Qian Shizun rolled his eyes: "Shen Yun, how is your strong wind fist practice? ”

"Yes. Shen Yun hurriedly got up. Moving Fang Zhu aside and placing it next to the wall, he walked to the middle of the open space in the room and unleashed the first five moves of the Strong Wind Punch as ordered.

Qian Shizun didn't care at first, and after watching his opening punch, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. It seems that his face is not as dark as before.

After he finished his five moves, Qian Shizun unconsciously changed his sitting posture again. He sat on the edge of the couch with a big sword and a golden horse, and said with a straight face: "Shen Yun, have you learned boxing before?"

Shen Yun nodded honestly: "Yes." ”

"No wonder you've made it to martial arts. Qian Shizun said, "You are indeed very ordinary in martial arts. However, he did not practice martial arts. In the past, I was also superstitious about qualifications. However, the older I get, the more unbelieving I become. On the contrary, I think that martial arts have talent, but the main thing is diligence. Shen Yun, you have to believe that diligence can make up for your clumsiness, and you have more confidence in yourself. ”

"Yes. "Shen Yun was taught.

Qian Shizun said again: "Between the immortals, it is like a heavenly ravine. Since there is a path of mortal cultivation in the world, and you and I have this ambition. So, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, it's worth giving it a try. Shen Yun, I encourage you with this. ”

Although this son is young, he has seen the same courage and courage as that Great Martial Sect from this son.

He was very optimistic about this mediocre kid.
