Chapter 003 Everyone Has Their Own Ambitions
With Ye Qing's voice, the two sisters and brothers, one in front of the other, had already stepped into the door. The furnishings in the house are a little shabby, but they are clean. The man in the hall was sitting on a small stool in the main hall.
There is a small square table in front of the Taoist people, and there are a few relatively good side dishes on the table, because this is a Taoist temple, so there is no meat. It's all vegetarian fasting. Behind it, there is a relatively large square table, on which some tributes are placed. On the wall behind the table are still the images of the three halal gods. On both sides of the Yimei Daoist, there are several large and small, long and short stools. All of this is basically the only thing of value in this room.
On the left hand side of the man are two small bedrooms side by side, and on the right hand side is the kitchen, through the wall door.
Today's Yimei Daoist is wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe that is covered with patches and has been washed white, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. It's just that his eyes that used to have the indifferent and peaceful Taoism are no longer there for some reason. On the contrary, it left more eyes full of vicissitudes and gloom.
At this moment, the face of the Yimei Daoist was a little blue and helpless sitting on the stool, and when he saw Ye Qing and the others entering the room, his face eased slightly.
"If you don't want to make progress, forget it, it's not like four or six. I'll see what you're going to do in the future?"
Yimei Daoist glanced at Lin Yifan behind Ye Qing with some hatred, and didn't care about him, but hurriedly greeted Ye Qing, who had already entered the house: "Qing'er, you're hungry!
"Okay master, I'll come right away, I'll go serve the meal first" Ye Qing immediately turned around and walked towards the kitchen after speaking.
For these two disciples, Yimei Daoist actually likes it from the bottom of her heart, especially Ye Qing, because she has been very sensible and obedient since she was a child, and more importantly, she has an extraordinary enthusiasm for cultivation. As for Lin Yifan, he didn't follow his mind on the way of cultivation, and he was still quite satisfied with the rest.
"Alas......" sighed silently in his heart, expressing how much helplessness, bitterness and vicissitudes of life in the hearts of the eyebrows.
Lin Yifan, who had already entered the hall, saw the helpless face of the master, and he had reached the rebellious period, and he also understood the hard work of the master. Therefore, he didn't contradict it, but just silently followed his sister and went to the kitchen to help her take the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice.
If you want to talk about this Lin Yifan, it's not that he doesn't understand the master's painstaking efforts, but he is just a way to cultivate. First, he was not interested at all, and second, he didn't know why a person wanted to cultivate the true Dao.
As for the question of why he cultivated the true Dao, Yimei Daoist also spoke bitterly to Lin Yifan countless times, however, no matter how many thousands of avenues in his chest, he still couldn't say Lin Yifan.
Yimei Taoist once told Lin Yifan that cultivation can improve the ideological realm, and can also strengthen the body, and there is a better chance to become an immortal, immortal, and more glorious lintel. Who would have thought that the benefits mentioned by Yimei Daoist did not improve Lin Yifan's interest at all, but he was speechless by a few simple words.
I still remember this conversation, it seems that Lin Yifan had just turned ten years old. When he listened to the master's great principles and goals, he raised his head, looked at his master with big eyes, and asked, "Master, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said, but why don't I want to cultivate the Tao, you listen to me slowly." “
Next, Lin Yifan's tirade began.
"First: You said that cultivation can improve the state of mind, and I agree. But I think my state of mind is that it is enough to eat, drink, sleep and herd the cow in one life, so there is no need to cultivate. “
"Second, it's right that you say that cultivation can also strengthen the body, but I think that you see that since I was a child, I have been disease-free for a day, and my body is already very healthy, so I don't need to cultivate. “
"Third, you also said that cultivation can lead to immortality, and you can live forever and be at ease, which I don't agree with. If you think about it, experiencing the cycle of life and death, experiencing different lives, that's really interesting. As for what you said about immortality, I think it's no different from a tortoise. “
"So, to sum up, I don't think it's necessary to cultivate the Tao. “
After a slightly strong statement, it was impossible to refute it at all.
Lin Yifan like this, coupled with the fact that he felt that his senior sister was so attentive and cultivated hard every day, he would definitely be able to comfort his master's good intentions one day. So he felt that he had his own senior sister to open the lintel for his master, so why did he need to do something he didn't want to do.
Although Lin Yifan has no ambitions, he is indeed extremely smart. Like Ye Qing, he has believed that God rewards hard work since he was a child.
Therefore, he only wants to do what he wants to do in this life. Live the life you want. Lin Yifan is not without ideas, he has ideas. It's just that his idea is too simple, and the simple may not even be an idea.
He had only one thought in his mind: a house, an acre of land, a cow and a well at his back, and that's it.
As for Ye Qing, who is a senior sister, she is more sensible and obedient since she was young, so she can better understand the master's hard work, and she herself also likes to cultivate. Therefore, she is also very attentive to the master's earnest teaching.
She understands her master's thoughts too well, can also understand her own junior brother's thoughts, and has her own dreams, so although her talent is not good, he believes in heaven to reward hard work more than Lin Yifan.
Because she is a senior sister, she feels that she has to bear the burden of 10,000 catties for her junior brother, for herself, and for her master. It's just that she is innocent, and she never thought about whether her immature shoulders and thin body could bear such a heavy burden.
After the three of them had lunch, Lin Yifan was also very diligent. got up and helped my sister clean up the dishes and chopsticks and clean the house. After resting in the chair after finishing the meal, Yimei Daoist also slowly got up, picked up the bamboo broom placed next to the hall door, and raised his hand to remove a clean rag behind the door. Go out and walk towards the Three Halal Temple. Prepare to clean up the Sanqing Palace.
For so many years, although no one came to worship the incense and worship the gods, they cleaned up the Sanqing Palace, cleaned the large squares outside the hall, and added hundreds of stone stairs. These are the things that Yimei Dao people have to do over and over again every day. This process is neither boring nor boring.
This kind of thing that seems extremely boring to outsiders is indeed an indispensable homework for him every day.
Such a day, Yimei Daoren himself does not know how long it lasted.
Although he was unable to revitalize the Taoist temple, he felt that only by taking good care of this surviving hall could he prove the value of his own existence. After all, seeking enlightenment is his lifelong belief.
After Lin Yifan accompanied his senior sister to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, no, it should be said that he didn't have anything to do every day. Therefore, almost every day, he would accompany his senior sister Ye Qing to the riverside to practice.
By the time the two set off, the sun had already set.
In this view, Lin Yifan's life is the most leisurely. And Ye Qing's life is somewhat similar to that of Yimei Daoren. It's just doing those few things every day, and having fun doing it.
Because Taoist cultivation is based on both internal and external cultivation. Therefore, it is divided into internal repair and external repair. Internal cultivation is mainly for the practice of qi, and the refining of qi is also called building the foundation. And the external cultivation is divided into physical cultivation and martial rest.
Physical cultivation is to strengthen the body, which can also be called building a foundation. Wu Xiu uses swordsmanship, knife skills, marksmanship, and stick skills...... Wait a minute!
In this Donglong Divine Prefecture, if you only want to maintain your health, then it is enough for you to cultivate internally, if you only want to become a martial arts master between the world, then you can only major in external cultivation. But if you want to cultivate the Tao and become an immortal, then these two must be indispensable. Therefore, if you want to combine the two to refine the Dao, the requirements for your physique are also extremely demanding.
Although Ye Qing didn't think about becoming an immortal, she knew that if she wanted to revive the mountain gate, these two things were also indispensable. Therefore, Ye Qing's day's arrangement is to practice meditation and qi in the early morning and evening, and practice some simple fist and foot kung fu in the morning. In the afternoon, I took care of some chores at home with Yifan.
Therefore, the current life is unusually fulfilling for Ye Qing.
