Xie Lingyun and Ah Man returned to Yecheng Mountain, it was already nearly late afternoon and evening, and there was still a short way to go from the Xishan Dao Courtyard, when they heard bursts of laughter from the courtyard, and the voices of the master and the stubborn uncle were impressive.

"Hahaha, I feel that I am twenty years younger, and I am worthy of Senior Sister Yuzhi," Uncle Naughty Sky laughed, "The elixir is the elixir, maybe in another day, I will be ten years younger, and I will rejuvenate tomorrow." ”

"Uncle Shi, will you be older or will I be older then?" asked Hanbao amusedly.

"Uncle Shi doesn't know what to say, but the day after tomorrow, I will turn back into a baby, and you can pick me up at that time

"We're back" In the midst of everyone's laughter, the two stepped into the hall quickly, Xie Lingyun looked at the two masters who were full of energy, and asked excitedly: "Master, uncle, how is the situation?"

"Ake, it's great to be a teacher. Nanyangzi stroked his beard and smiled, his clear and kind face, white hair, and energetic eyes were very different from the appearance of the old man in the sixtieth armor before.

And Uncle Naughty Sky is even more energetic, his hair that was originally mixed with white silk is completely black, and his face without dry wrinkles also shows his original handsomeness, and his eyes are like stars. Many years ago, the people of Jinling knew that there was a beautiful man named Yuyang in Daoye Chengshan.

Time seemed to go back to many years ago, Xie Lingyun's heart surged with a hot current, and his eyes suddenly moistened a little, indeed, great

Heng Bao said excitedly: "Senior brother, the master said that his life skills have recovered about six or seven percent, and according to the previous decline rate, how can he last for three or five years."

"What's that, I'm more seriously injured, but I've recovered eighty percent-" Uncle Naughty Sky was very proud, went up and patted Xie Lingyun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xie Lu, thank you, Ake, Uncle Shi can live for six or seven years longer, it's all from you."

"Uncle, master, why are you pessimistic at this time, it will not decline, your life skills will only get better and better, more and more powerful"

Xie Lingyun is also a big smile, full of pride and ambition, the master and uncle have reached the middle and late stages of the Dao Fetal Realm when they were at their peak before, and now after recovering, they can probably give full play to the strength of the late stage of the Jiedan to the early stage of the Dao Fetus, like the young heroes, in the future, they will work together for two generations of master and apprentice to bring Chaotian Palace to the first position in the world

After laughing for a while, he said the meaning of Mingya Zhenren again, Aunt Yuzhi was really overjoyed, and said in a loud voice, Chaotian Palace is now lacking allies, and with the help of the Iron Pillar Palace, it is a long drought and a sweet rain.

The laughter in the hall lasted for a long time, and at night, everyone dispersed, and Nanyangzi and Uncle Naughty Sky returned to the quiet room and continued to stabilize their lives.

Under the moonlight, a healthy figure quietly slipped into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion near the West Mountain of the Taoist Temple, and looked around sneakily, seeing that there was no one, before sneaking into the row of bookshelves......

Who is it? Uncle Boyou broke out in a cold sweat, shrunk and walked outside the pavilion, he clearly felt a powerful aura just now, thieves are not something he can deal with, so the best strategy at the moment is to find someone from the inner door

Fortunately, until he came outside, the thief did not notice and chased after him, and even more fortunately, he only walked a short distance before he saw Ark walking in front of him

"Ake, Ake, something happened, a thief sneaked into the Scripture Pavilion"

"It's very good, it's very good...... If you are not virtuous, you will not fight the people; Not expensive, rare goods...... It's not expensive, it's a rare commodity, what are you talking about?"

At the same time, in front of an old bookshelf in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the black shadow held a thread-bound book in both hands, read the scriptures softly, and muttered suspiciously from time to time: "I don't understand these saints, don't you want to educate the people, why can't you say it clearly, I don't know whose son, like the emperor, you don't know whose son Lu Dao is, you still say, do I know Lu Dao......

Although the light in the pavilion is dim, it does not hinder the blue eyes that are as bright as fire, and the black shadow is Ah Man.

Today she really saw the medicinal effect of the purple fairy, and she saw that her index finger moved, and she really wanted to swallow the whole purple fairy into her stomach from getting the purple fairy to now, it has been a while, she has not eaten half a point, one is because she has not been idle, and the other is that she is afraid that she has eaten fairy rice like before but it is equivalent to not eating, and she has seen the Yuanshen War a few days ago, so she wants to ......

Or is it better to practice sexual skills?

She had always disdained it before, and she was embarrassed to tell the dead thief about her thoughts, otherwise she wouldn't be laughed to death, but she couldn't understand it

In the past, Mrs. Xu never taught her on the grounds that "although the Tao Te Ching is the basic sacred book of Taoism, it is also the most difficult book to understand, so you don't want to learn it for the time being, so as not to mistake yourself", which also caused the current embarrassment

"'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs,......" When reading the next column of scriptures, Aman suddenly stopped, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have found something...... Her Dao heart, her vow?

Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as dogs? Ha Luha, the most clear and favorite sentence of the "Tao Te Ching" that she has seen and loved, suddenly appeared.

She muttered a few times, and the more she read it, the more she felt that it was right, and she was right, this thief is this kind of virtue, saying that drought is drought, and that flooding is flooding, not that everything is treated as a dog, and then what does it mean to "the saint is not benevolent, and the people are the dogs"?

Ah Man suddenly frowned again, scratched his head again, and suddenly said in a trance: "Oh, I understand, the saint is actually a hypocritical bad person."

She suddenly thought that if her father and brother saw her current appearance, she really didn't know how she would react

"Who is it?"

Before she could think about it, there was a sudden loud shout from there, and the person who came said solemnly: "Your Excellency broke into the Chaotian Palace Scripture Pavilion, I don't know what happened? ”

The annoyed man Ah Man closed the Tao Te Ching, raised it weakly and knocked on the head, this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has no windows and only a large door, she knows that she can't escape this time, and pouts and shouted: "What are you nervous about, it's me."

"Aman?" Xie Lingyun's shocked voice came, and with the sound of rapid footsteps, he and Uncle Boyou both appeared, stunned with wide-eyed eyes.

"Laugh, laugh, that's right, it's me, can't I come here to read the book?" Ah Man snorted, reopened the scripture with a big grin, and looked down, but his cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

However, the imaginary burst of laughter did not sound, and Xie Lingyun said to Uncle Boyou: "Uncle Boyou is fine, you go back to rest first." He walked over with a smile and said, "Okay, what book are you reading, the Tao Te Ching...... What's the catch?"

"You don't laugh at me?"

"Why are you laughing at you?" Xie Lingyun said.

"Because, because my Ah Man actually reads" Ah Man's blushing was even worse, but he laughed out loud, "I actually read a book, sneak in to read a book, ha, isn't it funny?"

"No, I'm glad for you, it shows that your heart has grown. Xie Lingyun stepped forward to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and praised, "It's very cute." ”

"It's going to be sweet. Ah Man rolled her eyes and smiled, and when she heard him ask what she had gained and what she didn't understand, she said with great interest: "There are many things I don't understand, I don't know whose son it is, what rare goods, but I seem to have found my vow: 'Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are unkind to dogs, saints are unkind, and people are dogs,"

Well, Xie Lingyun had an ominous premonition, so he listened to her continue to say seriously: "You have to take it for granted like the saints of heaven and earth, and treat others as dogs, but I haven't decided yet, don't you want to pull out the suffering of the Three Realms forever, it seems to conflict with each other......"

"Poof" He suddenly burst out laughing, and couldn't help but laugh wildly, when a dog, when a dog......

Aman's face changed suddenly, a fierce light flashed from his eyes, his chest rose and fell, what was so funny She pushed him away angrily, and smashed the "Tao Te Ching" in her hand at him, "I'll treat you as a dog first."

"Oh oh" Xie Lingyun exclaimed in surprise as she grabbed the scripture with her hands, and was almost hit in the face, with her brute strength, it might be handsome.

"People are serious" Ah Man shouted, after the rage, his heart was full of grievances, and his eyes were shining with tears: "What do you think I am reading for, it's not because you are a great talent, open your mouth and close your mouth and say that a woman, if it weren't for you, I don't know how happy I am in Wuthering Mountains and Forests, whether it is a dog or a cat, you still laugh, you are harmed"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, I don't laugh. Xie Lingyun hurriedly apologized, feeling her tenderness, this is really a rare commodity, and said softly: "You misunderstood this scripture." ”

"Then you say, how did I misunderstand" Ah Man was even more angry, walked out of the cabinet with his fists clenched, and ignored him.

You don't have to be angry, this verse has always been incomprehensible, it is one of the most difficult verses in the Tao Te Ching, there are countless popular interpretations in the world, and no one knows what Lao Tzu really means. Xie Lingyun shouted and followed, and said with a smile: "I laughed, not laughing at you, just because I had a misunderstanding when I was a child, thinking that heaven and earth were bad guys, but later I asked the master and realized that it was not." ”

Ah Man's face immediately changed again, softened a little, and asked curiously, "What?"

"Let me start with a few common explanations, 'Heaven and earth are given, not benevolence, but nature.'" ......, it means that heaven and earth give birth to all things, and they are all equal, and everyone is like a dog, and it doesn't matter if it's benevolent or unkind, and it doesn't expect anything in return. And the saints are like this, whether it is princes, generals, scholars, farmers and industrialists, they all look at it the same. ”

Hearing his words, Ah Man sighed: "Isn't that all beings equal?"

This is also the idea of Taoism. Xie Lingyun smiled and said: "Another kind, "The Mean" said, "The benevolent, the people," the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, that is, the heaven and the earth are not human, and the heaven and the earth have no benevolence, righteousness, affection, etc. ”

"Heaven will not let winter come because everyone hates the cold winter, no matter what everything thinks, it still does it according to the law, and treats everything as a dog, without favoritism and without any influence. Later, Xunzi's "Theory of Heaven" also said: "The way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin." Whether the world is peaceful or turbulent, whether it is a harvest or a harvest, has nothing to do with public opinion. ”

"Therefore, the sage will not follow the nature of ordinary people, but go with the flow, do not go against the way of heaven, understand and master the various laws and principles of the way of heaven, such as the rotation of the stars, the passing of the sun and the moon, the four eras, the great transformation of yin and yang, the wind and rain, to figure out the changes in the direction of the stars, the replacement of the sun and the moon, the change of the four seasons, the biochemistry of yin and yang, and the casting of wind and rain. Tomorrow there will be an earthquake in Jinling, and everyone will run away today, how can it be a disaster? ”

Xie Lingyun was happy to talk about himself, but Aman's eyebrows were furrowed higher and higher, and the more he listened, the more confused he became......

At this time, the two walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, and I don't know if there is a will, Ah Man suddenly asked: "Actually, how do you understand it?"
