After the four-eyed Taoist and Master Yixiu finished tea, they looked at Master Yixiu and smiled coldly, and said, "Monk, I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you went to Western Bliss?"

Master Ikkyu smiled, "I've been there, but they told me to take you with me." When are you going?"

Qingping was a little speechless when he heard this, these two people really refused to stop arguing for a moment.

When the two were about to quarrel again, they saw that Jia Le and the girl Qin Jing had already eaten separately and walked in, and Jia Le was very happy to see that the two did not have an argument as before. smiled: "Master, Dao Chief, the master has opened the meal." ”

The two didn't quarrel at this time, Qingping smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to dinner two of you." ”

Several people sat down and put the food on the table, and Master Yixiu looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table, shook his head, and played a Buddha name without moving his chopsticks.

Jia Le smiled: "Master, there is porridge here, you can drink porridge." ”

Master Yixiu nodded lightly, and took the white porridge handed over by Knorr and said thank you. Then he picked up the chopsticks.

With Qingping eating here, the two of them wanted to save face, and they didn't quarrel, and they all remained silent.

The four-eyed Taoist took two bites and said, "Okay, I'm full, you can eat slowly if you don't have an appetite today." I'll go back to the room first, by the way, Jia Le will give your uncle later, arrange a room, and he will stay here for a few days. With that, he stood up and headed for his room.

Jia Le answered, watching the back of the four-eyed Taoist disappear, and then smiled at Qingping: "Uncle Shi, there is another room next door, I will take you to see it later." ”

Qingping nodded and said, "Then thank you." ”

Jia Le shook his head a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "No thanks." ”

At this time, Master Yixiu smiled and said, "By the way, Dao Chief, I don't know which sect you are? If you can train a Dao Master who is as young as you and has such a high mana, you must be a disciple of the Great Gate Sect!"

Qingping said with a smile: "The master guessed wrong, I got the legacy of a senior master from a cave when I was a child, so I embarked on the road of cultivation, and later got a copy of "Maoshan Secret Technique" by chance, so it should be regarded as the inheritance of the Maoshan faction from generation to generation!"

"I see, it seems that the Taoist is really blessed! I don't know what the Taoist is doing here now? Can I help me a little?"

Qingping shook his head and said: "It's nothing, some time ago, I got some guidance from the Lin Dao Chang of the Maoshan lineage, that is, the senior brother of the Four-Eyed Daoist, Uncle Jiu, and I felt that the cultivation seemed to be about to break through, so I followed the Four-Eyed Daoist to travel together, and happened to come here, so I planned to repair for a few days, with the help of the spiritual breakthrough here, I hope the master will not feel bothered." ”

Master Yixiu nodded and said: "Where, where, we can get together is also fate, in the past two days, there are empty Dao Masters who also go to me to sit and sit, although our sects are different, but we can also argue with each other about our own cultivation, maybe, Dao Masters can break through as soon as possible! Speaking of which, if it weren't for my disagreement with the Four Goals, we could discuss it with each other, maybe we have already made a breakthrough in our cultivation now, so why are we stagnating now." ”

Qin Jing, who was sitting on the side, was full of confusion at this time, and when she just arrived, she was a little puzzled, not knowing why Qingping was so young but worthy of the title of Dao Chief, and couldn't help but interject: "Dao Chief, how old are you this year? You look so young, why do you call you Dao Chief? Your cultivation is very high?"

Master Yixiu's face was stunned, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and Jia Le also pulled the basket in private.

Master Yixiu said: "Daoist, please don't care, Qinqing and I have a short time, so there are some rules that I don't understand." ”

Qingping shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, Miss Qinqing is still young and doesn't get in the way." ”

It turns out that there are three things that people who are cultivating do not ask, and one does not ask about longevity: the so-called monk does not ask about his name, and the Tao does not ask about longevity. Someone who first entered the Taoist temple saw the old Taoist leader with a childish face, and asked with respect: "Old man, how old are you this year?"

However, the old Taoist leader avoided answering, and only nodded and smiled. The reason why monks are taboo for people to ask their age is because "the Tao does not say longevity". This is because the cornerstone of Taoism's ideology is to live happily and die evilly, and to pursue immortality, so "the Tao does not speak of longevity." 

For example, Qingping looks only about twenty years old, if he is successful in cultivating in the future, and he has the art of staying in the face, he is also like this, others ask him about his age, if he tells the truth that others don't believe it, and he is sorry for himself if he doesn't tell the truth, so he doesn't ask about longevity.

Originally, Taoism looked down on life and death, and the purpose of cultivation was to seek liberation, transcend life and death, and believe that life and death are only the transformation of life in an instant, a small reincarnation. Cultivators don't care about their age, so they don't ask about longevity.

Second, don't ask the teacher: Daomen has a rule of not asking the teacher, so if you are not familiar with it, don't ask who the master is, in order to show respect. Just like just now, Master Yixiu only asked which sect Qingping belonged to, and did not ask who his master was.

Why do cultivators shy away from their masters? Because when you don't know the other person very well, it is very impolite to suddenly ask who the other person's master is. It's like when you ask a stranger for the first time what their parents are.

Secondly, in the process of many traditional teachers, they do not mention who their master is when they do not have a certain achievement. There are two reasons for this, one is the fear of embarrassing the master, and the other is the fear of being disturbed.

Especially the latter, because no matter who you are, there is always a personal preference, and the preference is a bit biased, so at this time, if the person you meet happens to have a dislike for your master, and someone else intentionally or unintentionally says how your master is, it may be nothing once or twice, but if you listen to it too much, it will have an impact on your faith in the path.

Three don't ask about practice: it is taboo to ask others how far they have practiced, only they know best what level of cultivation Taoists have reached, and people are humble and say that they have not practiced, and some people think that people really have no practice?

Just now, Master Yixiu was just talking about arguing with each other's cultivation, instead of asking Qingping's cultivation to what realm. Before, the Ninth Uncle and the Four-Eyed Daoist had never asked Qingping how his cultivation was, but they just sensed each other, which was also the reason.

Hearing Qingping say that he would not blame Qinqing, Master Yixiu relieved his heart and said, "That's good." ”

Then he turned his face and pretended to scold Qingqing: "Qinqing, you can pay attention in the future, although the Taoist is not very old, he is a profound cultivator, and he is not far behind as a teacher, so don't underestimate others." ”

At this time, Jia Le remembered the situation when the four-eyed Taoist reprimanded him, and said with a wry smile: "I was also told by the master when I didn't know just now, but Uncle Shi, you are really so powerful!

Qingping waved his hand and said, "There, it's just luck." In the future, if you have any questions about the Tao, you can come to me at any time, and you will never hide it. (To be continued)
