"The face of Confucius, only the way is to follow. The Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance. In a trance, there is an image, and in a trance, there is an object. In a manor outside Yangzhou, there was the sound of reading a book.

A young man in a white robe, holding a volume of "Tao Te Ching", chanting, his voice is not slow, like flowing water, naturally flowing out, making people unconsciously have a deeper understanding of the Tao Te Ching, although the voice is not high, but lingering in the entire courtyard, it seems to tell the avenue of heaven and earth.

The voice of the man in the Confucian shirt lingered in the whole manor, a white young fox, blinking big eyes, cautiously lurking in the bushes dozens of feet behind the man, a pair of fluffy ears were erected alertly, and the smart eyes peeked curiously at the man who was reading, and the snow-white tail behind him swayed with the suppression of the scriptures.

The 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching" was quickly finished, the man casually picked up the "Analects" next to him, opened and recited, the white fox's palm-sized little face humanized a trace of frustration, the tail swaying behind him, all hanging down weakly, it buried its head in the big tail in frustration, revealing a sad atmosphere.

Du Xu on the stone platform, his divine sense saw the pitiful appearance of the little fox, and he couldn't hold the scriptures in his hand.

"So cute, so cute!" Du Xu couldn't help but stop, a month ago he refined the pill, took the pill every morning to practice the body, and recited the classic Taoist scriptures in the afternoon, feeling the truth of the sages and cultivating his own charm.

Every time I recite it, I feel that I have a deeper level of understanding, and this invisible comprehension may not be beneficial at first, but it will help you in the future.

It is important to know that chanting is also a kind of practice, chanting sincerely, focusing on the scriptures, this is one of the methods of replacing ten thousand thoughts with one thought, and entering into meditation; more importantly, chanting also has a function, but it is beyond the reach of general means of practice, when chanting sincere and righteous thoughts, the mind is immersed in the scriptures, and people's subconscious is constantly hinted at by the scriptures, and there is a role in assisting enlightenment.

This little fox, a month ago, was playing in the abandoned house where he was chanting, and I happened to hear him chanting, and as soon as I heard it, I was immersed in the scriptures, and instinctively felt the wonder of the running of the avenue, and envied the wisdom of mankind. In the future, it would come here every afternoon to listen to Du Xu's chanting.

The little fox has a very high spirituality, its wisdom is not inferior to that of humans, and its temperament is innocent and cute, Du Xu likes it very much, so he listens to it, only pretends not to find it, and lets it come here to play, and sometimes deliberately ignites a few words of its cultivation. Accompanied by the innocent and cute little fox, Du Xu's retreat and practice is very comfortable, and the progress of the perfection of the body and soul in a month is very impressive, and if it goes on like this, the time of the consummation of the Dao Ji can be advanced by two years.

Du Xu has the heart to transform this lovely elf, so he often recites the "Tao Te Ching", opens its enlightened nature, the heart of the Tao, supplemented by the "Analects" and historical books, teaches it the way of good and evil of human beings, guides it on the right path, understands etiquette, righteousness, shame, and human ethics.

But this little slippery head, the "Tao Te Ching" about the natural avenue of heaven and earth listened to it, but the "Analects" about humane wisdom and morality could not be listened to, and when Du Xu recited it, he was dissatisfied and lost his temper.

Fortunately, it was only depressed for a while, and the truth of the Analects was still somewhat understood.

At this time, Du Xu has finished reading the "Analects", and read it in a different book of "Huang Ting Jing", which is a classic that talks about the functions of various organs of the human body and the gods in the interior, and the functions of the human organs are concretized into the gods.

"In front of the Shangqing Zixia Emperor, the Jade Chenjun of Taishang Dao..." Du Xu's clear voice rose again, and the little fox's spirit was also lifted, and he listened quietly again.

Du Xu gradually immersed himself in it, every time he recited a god, his mind began to think about building the gods in various parts of the body, his Dao foundation was almost complete, the spirit and flesh were powerful, and it was easier to visualize the gods in the body, and in turn, it was more beneficial to the body.

Huang Ting Sutra has three parts, eight scenes and twenty-four gods, and Du Xu's recitation of the scriptures cannot make the whole body appear, but he also visualizes most of the gods, and he has benefited a lot.

The little fox scratched its ears and scratched its cheeks when it listened, and pressed its ears with its front paws in distress, it felt that the "Huang Ting Jing" was very good for it, and some places to understand made it dance with eyebrows, but after all, this is a scripture written by human beings, and most places do not have a certain cultural accomplishment, so they can't understand it!

Zhuyu was in front, but the anxiety that could not be obtained made the little fox sit still, and it secretly poked its head out and looked at Du Xu, its eyes full of grievances and accusations.

At this moment, a rough and shriveled hand gently stroked its brain, causing the little fox to shrink its head and burrow back into the bushes. But he was soon grabbed by a big hand and pulled out.

The little fox trembled with fright at first, but after seeing the person clearly, he let out an aggrieved "whoa!", his voice was milky, and his right paw was dissatisfiedly swung on the big hand that grabbed him, causing the big hand owner to laugh heartily.

This is a dry and slender old man in Tsing Yi, he smiled and held the little fox in his arms, stroked the little fox's snow-white fur, made the little fox squint his eyes comfortably, and licked the old man flatteringly.

Du Xu, who saw this scene in his consciousness, his eyes were red with jealousy, such a cute little fox was actually held in the arms of a bad old man, even if there was no fairy sister holding the white fox, I was much better than the old man!

Of course, he was just thinking about it, but in order to interrupt the warmth that made him jealous, he pretended to hear laughter and walked towards the little fox.

The old man in Tsing Yi noticed Du Xu's whereabouts, hid the little fox, and waited in place with a smile.

The old man smiled, but the students were not well educated, and they wanted to be advised. Du Xu first gave a salute and asked sincerely.

"If this is not the case, I see that Childe is very knowledgeable, and often come here to listen to Childe studying, just heard that Childe is forgetful, Childe reading is scratching my heart, I can't help but be happy, so I am happy. The old man in the green robe shook his face and exclaimed.

Du Xu thought to himself, I believe that you are the only ghost! But the surface was silent, and he was happy: "I have been studying for ten years, and today I have met my soulmate." Then he invited him into the house.

The old man happily promised, and returned to his house with Du Xu, and the two had a long talk about astronomy and geography, these two people, one is a thousand-year-old tree spirit, with a long life span and broad knowledge, and the other is a visitor from another world, who has a strong memory in practice, and has learned from both worlds, and has learned a wide range of knowledge.

The two sat down and discussed, quite a feeling of sympathy, Du Xu recognized the original form of the old man, and admired in his heart: "The wisdom of thousands of years of knowledge is really extraordinary." The old man didn't know Du Xu's identity, and felt that this scholar was highly knowledgeable, and sighed that the wisdom of the human race was really the favor of heaven and earth.

The old man in the green robe asked Du Xu tentatively: "I have a few granddaughters in my family, I want to teach them to read and learn words, and understand some truths, what does the son think!"

Du Xu waved his hand and said, "Sage Cloud: There is no class. It's good to be sensible in reading, I think so. ”

The old man was overjoyed and said: "Although I have some knowledge, but after all, I have not been in school, today I see that Mr. is very knowledgeable, and I want to be wronged by Mr. to teach my children to read and learn words." What do you mean~?"

Du Xu pretended to hesitate and said: "I can't learn, I haven't learned enough, how can I teach others, isn't this a mistake?"

The old man hurriedly comforted him: "This can't be said like this, Mr. is highly knowledgeable, I am ashamed of myself, it is easy to teach a few enlightened children." But no matter what he said, Du Xu only retreated and said that he was not good at learning, and he still had to study.

After two or three times, the old man realized the clue and said: "My family is rich, and I give my husband ten taels of gold a month, and there is a collection of books on the first floor, all of which are rare books for Mr. to read." ”

Du Xu slandered, this goblin is really unreasonable, and he has only come back to his senses now, and the master almost couldn't consume you, so he agreed. On the surface, he made some moves, but he couldn't make up his mind.

The old man in Tsing Yi hurriedly persuaded again, promising all kinds of benefits, and Du Xu pretended to be embarrassed and agreed. When the old man heard Du Xu agree, he was overjoyed, and there was a faint excited cry on his shoulder, and the old man hurriedly pressed his right shoulder and carefully peeked at Du Xu.

Du Xu pretended not to hear, pulled him, and discussed the matter of teaching.

The old man said: "My home is relatively secluded, some distance from here, I don't have any preparations today, it's not good to take my husband home." Sir clean up, I'll bring someone to pick it up tomorrow morning. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye, as if he really rushed back to prepare, Du Xu looked at the small ball on his back and smiled.
