The noon sun shines on Jiulian Mountain, and the mountain on the verge of the southern region is extremely hot, except for one who knows how to cry tirelessly, there is no movement in the mountains. △ ↗ Top Novel, x.

The hot sun shining on his head was really stuffy, but Lin Haoyu didn't dare to take off the cloak on his body, and let the sun shine on his body, it was even hotter.

In this scorching weather, even the poor jade pendant didn't have the ability to speak, and turned into a mark attached to Lin Haoyu's chest in a sullen manner.

Zhang Jinji only asked Lin Haoyu to go to Jiulian Mountain to find him, but after Lin Haoyu arrived at Jiulian Mountain, he found that Jiulian Mountain was so big, he wandered around for a long time, and he couldn't even see half a figure.

Coming out of the last post station, he had been walking here for a day and a night, but he really didn't find anything except the stinky sweat he was holding back.

Mountains are connected to mountains, day after day, the road is repeated, the trees squint, so this place is called Jiulian Mountain.

After turning a few corners, the air gradually became fresher, and a clear spring flow came into Lin Haoyu's ears, he followed the reputation, and saw a clear spring in a bamboo forest reflecting the brilliance of the sun, for a while he realized something, and slowly sang:

"The cicadas chirp in summer, enjoy the scenery and clouds as a companion; disturb the clear spring movement, and pay attention to the return of the mountains. There are rugged ancient roads, magnificent avenues to chase, footprints step on gravel, bamboo shadows into green micro. ”

After singing this love word, he heard a piano sound from the bamboo forest, Lin Haoyu followed the prestige, and saw Zhang Jinji sitting in the bamboo forest, brushing the strings with his hands, and smiling at him.

Seeing Zhang Jinji, Lin Haoyu seemed to have even subsided the burning heat on his body, and he walked over with a smile. Familiarly sat opposite Zhang Jinji, picked up the tea that had been poured in front of him and swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhang Jinji smiled. His eyes swept over his heart intentionally or unintentionally, and he said with a smile: "Do you still want to play chess?"

Lin Haoyu nodded. also smiled: "Since I came, I must play a game with you, so that you can see my growth." ”

"Why is this old guy in the world, he shouldn't ......be here," Yu Pei's suddenly surprised tone came out from Lin Haoyu's side.

Zhang Jinji, who was here, stretched out his hand to set up the chessboard, and his gentle gaze turned sharply, sweeping across Lin Haoyu's chest, and then he restored his original kindness, and the word "this" in the jade pendant suddenly made a trill, and fell silent. No matter how Lin Haoyu called in his heart, he just refused to come out and say half a word.

Lin Haoyu was also helpless, raised his head and looked at this seemingly harmless old way, knowing that he must have underestimated Zhang Jinji, who didn't seem to be much mysterious, and sighed lightly: "Then let's start." ”

This time he learned to be obedient, reached out and picked up the white chess, and landed directly on the side, Zhang Jinji's eyebrows were raised, and he landed on the corner. While saying: "Golden horn and silver edge grass belly, why did you choose a side?"

Lin Haoyu said while falling: "It is not easy to be biased, and it is not easy to be mediocre." This golden mean. It's still very useful, and of course I'm going to take a middle-of-the-road path. ”

"The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, and the predicate of recklessness is the Tao. Cultivation is teaching. You know the golden mean, it seems that you have some contact with those Confucian students. It's just that your words have not yet embodied the original meaning of this 'mean'. ”

Zhang Jinji said with a smile and dropped his chess pieces.

This game. Lin Haoyu made up his mind to take it step by step, and never gave Zhang Jinji a chance to win or lose.

Zhang Jinji saw Lin Haoyu's road, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, the two of you come and go, and they have fallen dozens of times in a short time.

"The Confucian routine you follow shouldn't be so conservative, Yasheng also once said, 'Although thousands of people go to me', why did you abandon them all when you came here?" Zhang Jinji smiled and fell again.

Lin Haoyu said: "You have a good grasp of the overall situation, last time I inadvertently turned the tables, this time if I give you another chance, I will be a pig's head." ”

Zhang Jinji smiled dumbly, and the offensive in his hand suddenly became fierce: "I don't even dare to say such a thing as 'although thousands of people go to me', what else are you talking about cultivating Qi Zhiping? Don't go home obediently and don't want to cultivate, marry a daughter-in-law and hold a child." ”

Lin Haoyu shook his head, and the defense in his hand became more and more solid: "Daozu once said, 'I have three treasures to hold and treasure, one is benevolence, the second is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness can be brave, thrift can be wide, and dare not be the first in the world to become its longest. 'I'd like to play against you cunning and mysterious old way, I'd like to play a little longer. ”

When Zhang Jinji heard this, he shook his head with some hatred, and as soon as his hand fell, the overall position of the white chess piece changed, from the original initial bloom to the sharp: "If you seek the Tao, how can you stand still and not want to forge ahead?

After taking a sip of water, Zhang Jinji said again: "The thought of the Taoist ancestors, that is to do something by doing nothing, the ultimate goal is to preach the Tao, that non-action is not to do nothing, but not to act recklessly; what Zhuangzi wants is to seek non-action with nothing, the first non-action is not to act rashly, and the second is the meaning of leisure; the Buddha prayed to the Tao, and sought non-action with something, so you look at those great monks who are silent and enlightened, and take the path of preaching the Tao with their hearts and achieving leisure; Although thousands of people have gone to me'. But what you do is pure inaction, and with such a mind, how can you be right?"

When these words came out, compared with Lin Haoyu's strong words, the profound thoughts of the Daomen made Lin Haoyu almost bury his head under the table.

After the inheritance of Meng Lao and the awakening of the jade pendant, Lin Haoyu admired the way of the "golden mean", and studied it attentively.

Lin Haoyu took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the chessboard carefully, only to find that the black chess pieces on the opposite side were already sharp, surrounding his white chess pieces. Although his white chess can be said to be watertight, there is not much room for development.

"Impartiality is the middle, it is not easy to be mediocre, and the meanness is impartial. Stick to your heart. Zhang Jinji said again, "The destiny of heaven is sex. Spontaneous is the way, and the way of cultivation is teaching. This is the original meaning of the mean. ”

Zhang Jinji saw that Lin Haoyu was silent: "The Tao is also the one." You don't have to leave it, but you can't leave it. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't see it. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious. ”

Moderation is self-restraint and self-management, and it is precisely because people can be temperate that they can be impartial.

Lin Haoyu seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand, his eyes were confused. And I can't figure it out.

"What is the Tao?" Zhang Jinji asked thoughtlessly, and the son in his hand fell, but his entire attack became a lot more relaxed. However, Lin Haoyu didn't dare to think that this was Zhang Jinji's compassion, so he couldn't care about his question, and began to think about countermeasures, knowing that Zhang Jinji asked again, so he came back to his senses from thinking.

But this sentence stopped Lin Haoyu on the spot and opened his mouth a few times. didn't say one, two, three, so he had to say dryly: "The Tao is good, the very way." ”

Zhang Jinji shook his head and continued: "I didn't ask you to recite the classics. I let you say, what is the way of heaven. ”

This time, Lin Haoyu didn't think too much, and said bluntly: "The reason of all things is also." ”

Zhang Jinji nodded. Then he asked, "So, what is the way of the Taoist?"

Lin Haoyu simply put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box. He replied fluently: "Knowing the truth, understanding the way of heaven, this is the way of the Taoist." ”

Zhang Jinji shook his head: "Although it is in the middle." but it is mutilated. Although the way of the Taoist has the meaning of understanding the law and understanding the law, it is also the 'thief', the 'thief' of the thief. ”

When Lin Haoyu heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he didn't expect Zhang Jin, as a Taoist, to say such words.

Looking at Lin Haoyu's puzzled face, Zhang Jinji smiled and said: "Those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are the princes, and we and other cultivators have stolen the heavenly machine, and naturally ascended to the immortal realm and realized the way of heaven." ”

As soon as these words fell, Lin Haoyu felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately picked up a white seed and put it on the chessboard, giving him a little room for his trapped and impermeable formation.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinji nodded, his face was teachable, but Lin Haoyu could only smile bitterly, because Zhang Jinji's next step had already sealed the possibility of him breaking through.

"You say, how can I eat your big piece now, with the least cost?" Seeing Lin Haoyu make a gesture of admitting defeat, Zhang Jinji suddenly asked.

Lin Haoyu stared at the chessboard carefully, but he couldn't find any way, and if he attacked a few more hands and spent a few black chess, he could completely win his big piece, but how to reduce the loss, with his Lin Haoyu's chess strength, he couldn't see it.

Zhang Jinji smiled, motioned for Lin Haoyu to pick up the chess pieces, and then launched an attack again. As a result, after ten moves, he ate most of Lin Haoyu's chess pieces, and he had no loss.

"Since you entered the demon, you have been imitating that Du Aotian, and who are you imitating now? You have to remember this sentence that if you are too deliberate, it will be your current end. Zhang Jinji pointed to the chessboard, "Remember, on the path of cultivation, if you can reduce your losses by taking a few extra steps, don't forget these steps, because they are very important and can even offset your three calamities and nine tribulations!"

Zhang Jinji's words were clueless, but Lin Haoyu fell into contemplation again.

Yes, after entering the Demon Sect, he longed for Du Aotian, and now, he deliberately pursued this so-called moderation, but he lost this real mass use.

Zhang Jinji's last few words exploded in his mind like a morning bell, pointing him out a more glorious road. If someone else gave Lin Haoyu a specific method for cultivation, then this entry machine gave him a new way of thinking, and the new way of thinking often made him take a lot of detours and suffer a lot.

Seeing that Lin Haoyu was deep in thought, Zhang Jinji smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to put away the chessboard, pointed a finger on Lin Haoyu's head, and sang in a low voice:

"Bodhi is in the heart, who sees the true face of Bodhi? Looking for flowers in the mirror is a dream, and calling Bodhi in vain is a lie. Reason is a leisurely thing, but it is like a lonely boat crossing the bitter sea. Hugh said that a clear heart can be enlightened, and a clear heart must also follow nature. ”

After singing this love words, Lin Haoyu fell into a trance, and he didn't even know when Zhang Jinji left......

It wasn't until three days later that Lin Haoyu woke up from his realization, looking at the empty stone table opposite, Lin Haoyu stood up, bowed to the empty seat, and then said: "Three lives and all things are natural, and the Tao is subtle and restores the origin. I was fortunate to hear the fairy language, and I only took the mystics as idle. The kid is taught, thank you for your advice. (To be continued......) R640
