Chapter 403: Good as Water
The Changhuan Daoist was really a little helpless about this Dao disciple, but the Dao Conference was indispensable for Dao disciples, so he couldn't help but shake his head, took out two paper talismans and gave one to Lu Weidao and Wu Lingzi, and said, "Hang it on your chest." β
The two of them hung up the paper talisman, and suddenly they got better, but they still had to get used to it for a long time if they wanted to settle down and preach. The Long Loop Daoist took advantage of this free time to teach the disciples about the process of the Discussion Conference.
According to the custom, the conference was held in three sessions: one for three days, one for two days, and one for six days.
The preaching of the schools is that after the families are sorted by lottery, they step forward in turn to spread their own Taoism.
At this stage, although it is quite boring, it is a rare opportunity to preach to so many people, and you have done your homework a few years ago, trying to make the Tao sound with relish, so that these three days will not be boring.
The discussion of the doctrine of the schools is a proposition put forward by the host of this conference, and the schools of thought will discuss it in the order of preaching.
Same proposition, different angles, different opinions. All kinds of Taoism gathered, the wonderful theories are infinite and wonderful, and only then can the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture be reflected. At this stage, Fang can really be called a hundred schools of thought.
When they argue, they argue about something. The difference with the discourse is that there must be a result. This stage is almost the same as the eloquence of the masters, and the purpose is to force the scholars to discuss the Tao deeply and stimulate the potential of the Dao.
Generally speaking, this third one is the most interesting. However, listening to the people of the Long Ring Road, because the famous people are good at arguing, in order to overwhelm others, they often put forward some strange theories, so that the world knows that it is wrong, but they cannot refute it. In this way, it deviated from the original intention of the debate, and the leaders of the debate were almost all overtaken by famous experts.
However, in the midst of the debate, it is indeed possible to make the scholars realize their own shortcomings, which is thought-provoking, and thus, the debate has continued.
When the Changhuan Daoist told him the details of tomorrow's discussion of the Dao, the other sects also came one after another to let the disciples adapt to the environment.
The family rule that Dao disciples are not allowed to practice Dao should be unique to Taoism, because other disciples did not appear in the same situation as Lu Weidao.
An hour later, Lu Weidao and Wu Lingzi were finally able to stand in the middle of the stage and speak freely. Only then did the disciples go home.
When I returned to the station, I saw that Changjing Zhenren was having tea with Changqing Daoist in the hall. Three Dao disciples hurriedly entered the hall to say goodbye.
The Changqing Daoist smiled and bowed to the three of them, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. β
Lu Weidao and Wu Lingzi have been following the Changqing Daoist for a long time, and they have a father-son relationship. β
The Changqing Taoist smiled and said, "I will preach on behalf of the Taoists, so naturally I will stay for a few more days." It's been a long time since our master and apprentice met, so I'm going to have to study your Dao method for the next few days. β
As soon as they heard that they wanted to study the Dao Law, Lu Weidao and Wu Lingzi showed nervousness.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, but didn't care. He didn't get along much with the Changqing Daoist, because he was grateful for his kindness and took care of him, and he was quite respectful with the gift of the master, but in his heart he only regarded him as an elder, and he had no desires and no desires, and he was very calm.
The Changqing Taoist asked the three of them one by one, and his tone was gentle, and he asked for warmth, which was quite like a spring breeze. Lu Weidao and Wu Lingzi forgot about the Taoist law in a blink of an eye, laughing and talking, so they were not excited.
Changjing Zhenren suddenly smiled and said, "Seeing that your master and apprentice are harmonious, I am a little envious." When my disciples saw me, they were all asking for advice, and they didn't say a word of self-consideration. β
The Changqing Daoist smiled: "The Dao family is pure and has no desires, and the Dao heart of the senior brother is not stable. β
Changjing Zhenren laughed and said: "After going down the mountain for my brother for a year, I was contaminated with the clichΓ©s of the world, which made my junior brother laugh." β
Xiao Yi saw that Changjing Zhenren seemed to be laughing heartily, but in fact, his expression was lonely, and there was no joy in his eyes. β
Everyone spoke for a while, and the Changqing Daoist suddenly said: "I just arrived here, and I haven't walked around the city yet, Xiao Yi is willing to accompany the teacher?"
As soon as Xiao Yi heard it, he knew that the Changqing Daoist had something to say to him alone, and it would never be a good thing, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only say: "The disciple is happy." β
The two of them left the station, Xiao Yi originally thought that the Changqing Daoist was looking for a secluded place to talk, but unexpectedly, the Changqing Daoist was walking in the crowd and had already asked, "After the Dao Conference, are you leaving?"
Xiao Yi said in his heart: "Master really came for this matter. But when he heard the crowd being bustling and noisy, he couldn't help frowning and said, "There's a teahouse in front, it's quiet, let's go inside and talk." β
The Changqing Taoist said: "The heart is quiet, and you can hear the sounds of heaven in the downtown area." If the heart is not quiet, what can the valley be?"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, suddenly had an understanding, and said, "What the master taught me." Then, he said what he thought in his heart again.
After hearing this, the Changqing Taoist sighed: "As you said, Taoism is indeed unsatisfactory. It is to cultivate the Dao Dharma for the teacher, and there are many improprieties in the inheritance of the Dao Fa. After a pause, he suddenly asked: "After accepting you as an apprentice, apart from providing you with Taoist classics, the teacher has never taught you Taoism, do you know what you mean?"
Xiao Yi was surprised, he didn't expect the Changqing Daoist to ask this question. Over the years, he only thought that the Changqing Daoist was too busy preaching down the mountain to teach his own Taoism. Moreover, he knew in his heart that his qualifications were not good, and it was not out of his intention that the Changjing Daoist accepted him as a disciple, so for him, it was normal for the Changjing Daoist not to preach the Fa.
The Changqing Daoist said: "You have some resentment in your heart, do you blame the master for not caring about you?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I am grateful that Master can keep me in the Taoist family, how dare I have a grudge." β
The Changqing Daoist nodded with a smile and said, "I can take you as a disciple because I have taken a fancy to your supreme perfection and purity. Otherwise, the Taoist disciples are strict, even if Jingshu pleads with me, I will not agree. β
Xiao Yi smiled indifferently and said secretly: "Sure enough, it was Jingshu who helped me behind my back." "I was not surprised that this was expected. Jingshu's figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, and his face showed a happy smile.
How did the Changjing Taoist know that he was already in his heart, and he continued: "The good is like water, the water benefits all things without fighting, and the evil of everyone is more than the Tao." Your nature is like the waters of the bad land, neither quarreling nor complaining. With such a temperament, it is a pity not to seek the Tao. β
Xiao Yi was surprised, he really didn't expect him to have such a high evaluation in the hearts of Changqing Daoists. (To be continued.) )
