After Zhao Ran's detailed explanation, Li Dayin gradually understood, "What Zhiran said is very reasonable, so give it a try, clean up the street, and engage in the image project that Zhiran said." But it still doesn't cost much silver. ”

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "I was about to ask Lao Li to come with me." Renovating the street is just the beginning, and when we learn this set of ways of doing things, have the experience of large-scale projects, have a group of suitable people, and produce a group of supporters who are willing to take the initiative to cooperate, we must get out of the scope of image projects and start real performance projects. ”

"Where is this going?"

"Riverside. ”

The two walked in the northwest direction, went out of Yifeng Gate, went up to Lion Rock, came to the highest mountain with a wide field of vision, and looked north.

Zhao Ran pointed his finger at the surging river and said, "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

Li Dayin clapped his hands and praised: "Good sentence! If it weren't for today, I would almost have forgotten, Zhiran is still a guest in the mountains, and several poems are well-known in the world! This is Linjiang Immortal, right? When did Zhiran fill it in? Can there be a second half? Please write it out, I will give three thousand taels!"

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "I'm not here to admire the moon with Lao Li, and this word is not made by me, I want to see the second half of the que, and go to Bachelor Yang." ”

Li Dayin thought for a while and asked, "Yang Shen, the waiter of the Hanlin Academy, okay, I'll go back to him, but the person who wrote the book is still the same." ”

Zhao Ran nodded, "As long as he agrees, I will write it to you." What I want to tell you is that since ancient times, while we are singing about this magnificent river scenery, we also regard this river as a moat, Lao Li, have you ever thought about what it would feel like if one day, this moat becomes a thoroughfare, and you don't need to take a boat to break the waves to cross calmly?"

Li Dayin didn't understand, "If you don't take a boat, can you still fly?" Not to mention the common people, even if a teacher like you and me wants to learn from Buddhism and Dharma to cross the river with a reed, it is also beyond their strength......" Speaking of this, he suddenly became playful, and said, "That's right, let's try it together, see where a reed can cross the river, and you are not allowed to wear robes and shoes, let alone use talismans. ”

Zhao Ran didn't mean to spoil the fun, he also wanted to see how his teacher's cultivation was, so he readily agreed.

The two of them went down the Lion Rock, and when they came to the river, they each picked a reed, threw the reed into the water, ran the exercises, and stepped on it with both feet. When Zhao Ran and Huang Guanxiu were cultivating, they once crossed Xiaojinchuan at night, when they were submerged in water below their ankles and their trouser legs were wet. At this time, it was already Dansheng's divine consciousness, and it was completely different, with two feet on the reeds, and only the soles of his shoes touched the water slightly.

But crossing the river with a reed and treading the waves are different difficulties, the buoyancy of a reed is almost negligible, and it does not play any role in borrowing force, but the feet are limited to the reeds, and you have to find a way to cross the river with the reeds, and the difficulty is increased several times.

The waves on the river are also urgent, and they are even more incomparable than the small Jinchuan. The two walked side by side for dozens of feet, and Li Dayin couldn't hold it anymore, and his feet gradually submerged into the water. Zhao Ran also felt a little struggling.

Although he joined the division a year later than Li Dayin, because of the merit accumulated by refining a large amount of drought resistance, his cultivation is much deeper than Li Dayin, plus the spiritual power golden pill can be exchanged for emergency at any time, so the situation is much better.

When he arrived at the hundred-foot point, Li Dayin's entire foot was underwater, but Zhao Ran was still able to barely maintain it, and he expected that he should be able to hold on to the heart of the river.

Seeing that Li Dayin seemed to be going bad, Zhao Ran pressed his feet down slightly, his body shook, his entire ankle went into the water, and said with a smile, "No, I'm going to fall into the water, Lao Li come slowly, I'll take a step first." After that, he kicked away the reeds, took out the shield-like magic weapon from the wrench and threw it forward, volleyed into the air, and when he fell, his left foot lightly touched the shield, and his body moved forward with force, and his right foot kicked out at the same time, kicking the shield more than ten zhang forward, catching his falling figure. In this continuous rise and fall, we finally reached the opposite shore.

Li Dayin couldn't support it for a long time, but he was struggling to save face, and at this time he was also relieved, took out the flying sword, and also crossed to the other side. The two were evenly matched, and there was a draw.

"The exercises of the Sanmao Pavilion are really extraordinary!"

"It's still the Louguan exercise that is unique, so that after all, I entered the master realm a year late, but I am not inferior to me, admire. ”

A burst of smoke rose from the feet of the two of them, but they each dried their wet feet with exercises.

Li Dayin looked back at Jiang Xin and said, "There is no cultivator above the cultivator, don't think about crossing the river with a reed, no, the cultivator is not enough, the old monk Bodhidharma was afraid that he was a Bodhisattva realm cultivator." ”

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "I heard that I preached in the middle of Songshan Mountain facing the wall for ten years. ”

Li Dayin nodded, "There is a Dharma cave, and legend has it that the figure on the cave wall was left by him back then, and I don't know if it was fabricated by Buddhism or it was true." ”

Zhao Ran said, "From the opposite Longjiang Pass to the Pukou City behind us, it is four hundred zhang long, and it is not allowed to cross without a monk above the yellow crown, and you must take a boat to ferry, otherwise you can only look at the river and sigh." For thousands of years, how many people have been in the way...... Lao Li, are you interested, you and I will create a miracle together?"

Li Dayin asked, "What miracle do you want to create?"

Zhao Ran pointed to Dajiang and said, "I have a dream, I want to build a magnificent bridge on this vast smoke wave, so that this moat will become a thoroughfare from now on!"

Li Dayin's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"

Zhao Ran smiled, "Go crazy or not, I just ask you, if the bridge is completed, how much credibility can you gain?"

Li Dayin opened his mouth for a long time and didn't close it, and said for a long time, "This is the political achievement project you are talking about? If it is really completed, and there is such a miracle standing on the river, then it is not a political achievement project, but a trust project, I am afraid that the common people will worship God with incense on the side of this bridge every day, and the monks of Xixia will kowtow and change to enter the Taoist gate when they see it, right?"

Zhao Ran said, "After the completion of the bridge, Le Shi is a stele, write an account, inscribe the efforts made by my Daomen for this, and inscribe Lao Li's name on it, thousands ......of years later, the title of Li Jun Dayin, the master of Sanmao Hall, is still recited by the people of the world."

Li Dayin stretched out his hand to stop, "Slowly, slowly, let me think about it...... I've never heard of anyone who can build a bridge across a 400-zhang river...... This should be the narrowest place on the left side of the capital, right? It turns out that Zhiran has been premeditated, you can't be here for real, right?"

Zhao Ran asked solemnly, "Are you interested in together?"

Li Dayin nodded subconsciously, "Of course." ”

Zhao Ran said, "In fact, it is not difficult to say, in a word, break the limitations of thinking." ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the past, I have always wondered why some things are so simple that no one thinks of them? For example, why don't everyone take out the Taoist skills they practice and share them with the common people? Why do all the people in this world use their cultivation skills for themselves, or to improve, or to fight the Fa, or to enjoy, or to make money, and rarely think of using it for the people's livelihood and on the people's heads. We think that it is enough to give the people a stable world, but after we have settled down, can't we do more to make the people's lives richer and more convenient? These things are very simple to do, combining the needs of the people with the Taoism that we have, and that's it. ”

"Linking Taoism to the people's livelihood?"

"Yes, it's actually easy to say, but does Lao Li know why no one has ever done this?"

Li Dayin thought for a while and said, "Cultivation is for one's own ascension, but those who want to ascend are tirelessly and devotedly practicing, where is the time to pay attention to the worldly red dust." ”

He didn't say anything about himself, but in fact, a cultivator like him, who had no ambitions, was mostly concerned about himself, where would he think of doing such a strenuous thing.

Zhao Ran nodded and said, "Yes, this is the selfishness of our cultivators, we only ask for what we want without asking for anything in return, just thinking about our own ascension, without thinking about the lives of the common people...... Then Lao Li, do you know when the monks need to rely on faith to survive the tribulation and ascend?"

"This ......"

"I don't know, but as Tianshi Chen said, in ancient times, ascension did not need faith, why is it needed now?

“......”

"I've been thinking about this for the past two months, and sometimes I've wondered, could this be the punishment of the Heavenly Dao for us? He told us that if we have a request, we must have a return, and if we take what the people have, we must compensate for it, this is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. And the generation of credibility may be a measure of the compensation made by the Heavenly Dao, which is essentially a kind of debt feedback. He did not tell us how much we owed to the people, but how much we repaid. ”

Li Dayin was a little confused: "You mean...... When we pursue trustworthiness, we are actually paying off our debts?"

Zhao Ran shook his head, "I haven't thought it through yet, there are still many questions worth pondering...... Anyway, I think I can give it a try. ”

"How do you try?"

Zhao Ran snapped his fingers, "I just said, we can try, use Taoism to serve the believers, and work hard to repay the debt!"
