Chapter 31: Seeking the Way
Lu Dongyang carefully decorated Feng Lingzi's tomb, added a lot of soil, built it high, and immediately built a stone tablet in front of the tomb, which was engraved with "Feng Lingzi the Almighty". Then he left in a hurry and went to the east of Yanyun City to find Doctor Wei.
"Junior, Lu Dongyang, asked to see Doctor Wei. ”
Lu Dongyang came to the small courtyard where Doctor Wei lived, clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
I saw this small courtyard, a little dilapidated, but neat, three houses lined up in a row, red bricks and blue tiles, neat and orderly. Wooden stakes are used as railings, long vines are coiled, and sparse trumpet flowers attract three or five butterflies to dance in the air. In the courtyard, a giant willow tree droops, covering the scorching sun and reflecting a green shade.
"The tea is ready, come in and talk about it. A voice came from inside the house, and Lu Dongyang could distinguish that it was the voice of the white-bearded Taoist. My heart was overjoyed. Take three steps and make two steps to quickly reach the house.
"Sure enough, it was you, who had offended so much that day, and hoped for forgiveness. Seeing that the white-bearded Taoist was drinking tea in the room, remembering what happened last time, Lu Dongyang hugged his fists again and apologized.
"Why is the little brother here?" the white-bearded Taoist put down the teacup in his hand and motioned for Lu Dongyang to sit down.
"The younger generation came to ask the seniors for the truth, and I hope that the seniors can complete the younger generations regardless of the previous suspicions. Lu Dongyang sat down a little stiffly, a little nervously waiting for the white beard old man's reply.
"Seeking the Tao, the little old man doesn't know much about the way, how can I teach you?" The white-bearded old man smiled slightly, looked up at the blue sky outside the door, and fell into deep thought. Lu Dongyang didn't dare to disturb, and he didn't dare to move while sitting on the stool.
"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the law. The Tao can be the way, not the constant way, the name can be named, not the constant name.
The path of the capable can be walked, but it is not the only constant path, and true fame can be obtained, but it is not the fame that ordinary people have been pursuing.
The Word can be spoken, but it is not the eternal Word, and all things can be named, but they are not the eternal names of all things. The little old man has studied the Tao all his life, but he can't figure it out, and he is ashamed, ashamed!"
Lu Dongyang sat on the stool, listened quietly, and felt every word of the white beard Taoist with his heart, although the words were simple, the truth was quite profound.
"Everyone's understanding of the Tao is different, and there are thousands of Taos in the world, but there are a few people who can realize that a powerful person like Nuwa Niangniang can only realize 36,000 Taos, all of which are Dao. And how much can we, ordinary people, realize? The little old man has been enlightened for decades, but he has not even been able to realize a small path. Tell me what the Tao is in your mind. The white-bearded Taoist smiled at Lu Dongyang. Signal him to speak out boldly.
"Dao, yes, what is the Dao? It is so difficult for people to come to the world just to live a mediocre life? Even so, why should there be ancients, Pangu opened the world, Nuwa created people to make up for the sky, and the seven saints of the flood and famine preached the Tao. In ancient times, the sages preached the Dharma, and Buddhism was glorious through the ages. Faith is established. There is no end to the road, and a few people really dare to move forward ....... Life after life, along the way, remember or forget, go on this way, and there will be no regrets. My heart and my nature, the people I love, and the things I do, that is, my way. As long as you go all the way, one day, you will finally be satisfied, and the path of seeking the Tao is the path of asking the heart. Lu Dongyang was asked by the Baishu Daoist, and then thought about what the Baishu Daoist said, and then he would have an opinion on the Tao in his heart.
"The road is the road of stepping into the saints, abandoning the family and abandoning desires, and doing the sand gate, how many people really dare to move forward? It's an endless path of no return. After listening to what Lu Dongyang said, the white-bearded old man was full of approval in his eyes, and the two of them had a good discussion in this small room.
"Little Lao'er Dao is Xuanxing, practicing in Fudaomen, I don't know who the little brother's surname is?" Before they knew it, a red glow had appeared in the sky, and the two of them stopped. Only then did the people of Baishu Dao remember that they hadn't introduced each other yet.
"Junior, Lu Dongyang, came here this time only to ask for apprenticeship, and asked the seniors to accept the juniors regardless of their previous suspicions. Lu Dongyang hurriedly stood up from the stool and bowed down, only then did he feel a backache, after all, he had been sitting for too long.
"There are thousands of monks in the world, why do you want to worship me as a teacher? Xuan Xing didn't accept it, nor did he refuse, he sat there as steady as a rock, stared at Lu Dongyang with a smile on his face, and asked.
"The last time I saw it, I knew that my predecessors were high-ranking people, but I offended my predecessors because I was worried about mundane things at that time, and then I remembered that my younger generations were physically and mentally uneasy. Today, I talked with my predecessors again, and after listening to the many opinions of my predecessors, my admiration for my predecessors was like a surging river, and I was out of control, and then I asked my seniors to accept the younger generations. Lu Dongyang still maintained the form of a salute, waiting for Xuan Xing's reply.
"Why do you know I'm here, and don't look for me elsewhere?" asked the Xuanxing Daoist again without hurrying or slowing down.
"By feeling. ”
"I feel good, I took your apprentice. You will be given three days to deal with the mundane things, and then return to the Fudao Gate with the teacher. Xuanxing Daoist waved his hand slightly, and Lu Dongyang only felt a strong force holding him up. After receiving Dao Xuanxing's reply, Lu Dongyang was very happy and nodded yes. Then he quickly left.
"Xuanku's hexagram is really good, it really made me find a good disciple here, and I want to thank him when I go back. There is no need for this Wei Divine Doctor to go at the moment" Xuan Xing stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Lu Dongyang's disappearing back, and smiled. The figure vanished.
"Today's trip has benefited me a lot. Thanks for the reminder. Lu Dongyang was full of joy.
"It's a good thing that you get what you want, and there's no need to thank me. Batian didn't dare to ask for credit, and said in a flat tone.
"How high do you say Master Xuanxing's cultivation is?" Lu Dongyang was very satisfied with Batian's answer, and said with a slight smile.
"The pinnacle of the Divine Realm"
"What? The peak of the Tongshen Realm? This~ This is too powerful, isn't it? It is two realms higher than Ren Boting's Tianyuan Realm. When Lu Dongyang heard this, he was taken aback, he never thought that the Xuanxing Daoist would be so powerful.
"There's no fuss, there are too many monks in this realm, and if you look at it, if you don't know how many, it's innumerable. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can reach this state sooner or later. Batian looked blank and told the story.
"I hope so, Yishan is still waiting for me to save her. Thinking of this, Lu Dongyang couldn't help but feel sad secretly, pulled out the Thunder Sword, and stroked it carefully.
"Wait for me, and you will resurrect you no matter what. Lu Dongyang thought about it, his eyes gradually turned red, and the bloodshot began to cover it little by little, and his heart began to be impatient and anxious.
"Stop, don't dare to think about it anymore!" Batian hurriedly stopped, interrupting Lu Dongyang's thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Lu Dongyang also felt that he was abnormal, but he didn't know what the reason was, so he asked.
"Yu Yishan's death has dealt you a heavy blow, and you have already given birth to a demon heart. "Last time, I saw your demon heart rise, so I stunned you and took your body, if it wasn't for my timely stopping, I'm afraid you would have fallen into the devil's path.
"What?" Lu Dongyang was shocked, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, although he couldn't understand what the Demon Dao was, but it wasn't a good thing to think about it just by that one magic word.
"Try to learn how to control your emotions. Otherwise, if you really fall into the devil's path, no one will be able to save you. Batian kindly reminded.
"Try your best, if necessary, you still use the same method as last time to stop me, but after the incident, you have to take the initiative to return your body, otherwise~~" Lu Dongyang knew that the situation was serious, so he had to do this.
"Who is it?" At this moment, a black shadow flashed past Lu Dongyang, although the person was dressed in disguise, but the figure was very familiar, and hurriedly chased after him.
