Chapter 742 The Tao Te Ching

Chapter 742: Tao and Morality

Looking at the plaque above the Taoist temple, there were three slightly yellow golden words written: Wuxuanmen! Chen Tianyi was immediately filled with excitement!

"Haha. Junior brother, let me go in and pay homage to Master!" Zhang Heng smiled and raised his foot first and walked towards the Taoist temple.

Chen Tianyi followed Zhang Heng and walked on the bluestone stairs. He had a total of 108 steps before he reached the entrance of the main entrance of Wuxuan Gate!

"Master, the junior brother is here." Zhang Heng stopped outside the door and said respectfully to the Taoist temple.

"Haha, let him come in!"

A kind laughter came from the Taoist temple, and the sound was not unfamiliar to Chen Tianyi! On the contrary, it was extremely familiar!

"Old Dean! It's really the old Dean!" Chen Tianyi murmured excitedly in his heart. He never thought that the old man who took him in the white-bearded man had such an identity as a hidden master!

"Haha, junior brother, go in and see your master! I won't go in." Zhang Heng smiled at Chen Tianyi, but there was a hint of depression on his face, because Bai Zheng did not ask him to go in too.

"Well, thank you Brother Zhang for your kindness in leading the way." Chen Tianyi smiled. He still didn't understand why Zhang Heng kept calling him junior brother, and the old dean was not his master! Similarly, Chen Tianyi was quite depressed. He knew that the more awesome the old dean was, the deeper his depression was.

When he was in the fire in the Tianxin Orphanage, he saw that the old dean was so capable of being a ghost and god. With his momentum alone, he could not move, and he knew that the old dean was a powerful person!

Now, I know that the old dean is probably the leader of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, so his strength will definitely be even more amazing!

But the old dean is so powerful, but he has never given him a move and half of the moves to make Chen Tianyi feel bad? It would be fine if he was a person he didn't know, but the old dean obviously took him in, who had not remembered back then, and took good care of him since he was a child. He was kind and like his grandfather. His relationship was very good, but if he didn't practice martial arts, of course, it would make Chen Tianyi difficult to understand!

With an excited and puzzled mood, Chen Tianyi walked into the Taoist temple.

When I saw it, a kind-eyed and smiling old man sat cross-legged on the cushion and looked at him with a smile.

"Tianyi has met the old dean." Chen Tianyi bent respectfully and shouted to Bai Zheng. He was still used to calling Bai Zheng the old dean, because he and Hu Wei and other orphans called it that way. Since Chen Tianyi remembered, it seemed like Bai Zheng. He had white beards, white eyebrows, white clothes, and a kind smile!

"Haha, don't be restrained. You and Xiaowei didn't have such peace of mind when they were young. Sit down!" Bai Zheng smiled and pointed to a futon placed on the ground, and said.

Chen Tianyi's face turned red, and she also thought that she was really restless when she was a child. Before being accepted by Uncle Yan, she and Hu Wei often caused trouble on the street, and often led a large group of people to chase them into the orphanage. Every time the old dean wiped their butts.

However, the old dean said there was no need to be restrained, and Chen Tianyi naturally opened up and immediately sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"You must have a lot of things you want to ask in your heart!" Seeing Chen Tianyi sitting down and becoming natural, Bai Zheng said with a smile again.

"Well, there are many questions," Chen Tianyi smiled, "Tianyi always thought that the dean's grandfather was just an ordinary old man, but these two meetings really shocked Tianyi."

"Haha, what's there to be shocking? I'm really just an ordinary person." Bai Zheng smiled, "A person is born without any noble or low, and he should be without any grades. They are all born by their parents and are all one life. How can ordinary and special come about?"

"There is law in heaven and earth, and the law is natural, not comparison between people. If you are obsessed with comparison with people, then you have not obtained the law! Those who have the law first focus on the law itself, the law itself, and the law itself! Then, the law is natural, and the way of law!"

Listening to the old dean laughing, the conversation seemed profound, but Chen Tianyi only understood the meaning of it. The old dean's meaning should be to tell him that the most important thing is his own qualities precipitation! Involving too many external factors will cause chaos! In the end, he will not be able to get on the real martial arts path!

"Tianyi is educated, thank you for the advice of the dean." Chen Tianyi was originally a smart person, so he naturally understood that the old dean was talking like this. He was deliberately reminding him, so he quickly said.

"Hehe." Bai Zheng nodded with a smile, then took out a book with a dark blue cover from his arms and threw it at Chen Tianyi.

"You read this book for three days. Except for the necessary meals and sleep, you must not be discouraged from thinking about doing other things. If you focus on the book, the Tao will come naturally!" Bai Zheng smiled kindly.

Chen Tianyi took the book with the blue cover and looked at the three words Tao Te Ching on the cover, and was stunned: "Tao Te Ching?"

"Yes, it is the "Tao Te Ching". There is no need to ask more questions. After studying for three days, if I am satisfied with your effect, I will answer your questions one by one. If I am not satisfied, I will send you out. When you reach the level of my satisfaction, I will answer your questions in your heart." Bai Zheng smiled faintly, and then his smiling eyes closed, and those who closed their eyes and calmed down.

Chen Tianyi smiled bitterly in his heart. The old dean just threw a book to him, but he didn't say what effect he wanted to see. He didn't know the goal, so how could he work hard to achieve the effect that the old dean was satisfied with? But seeing that the old dean had closed his eyes and rested, he didn't ask much. Because the old dean deliberately did not explain it clearly, he should just hope that he would understand it himself! He didn't think that the old dean had omitted it and didn't tell him.

"The Tao can be told, it is extraordinary; the name can be named, it is extraordinary. Nameless is the beginning of all things; it is famous, it is the mother of all things..." Opening the blue book, Chen Tianyi began to read the Tao Te Ching silently in his heart. Although it is all obscure classical Chinese, it is not difficult to understand from the literal perspective.

Chen Tianyi's look at it took half a day. During this half day, Chen Tianyi read the Tao Te Ching almost a hundred times, and even had already memorized it in his heart. It would be no problem to recite it in combination with the book.

The Tao Te Ching is divided into two chapters. The first chapter is the "Tao Jing" and the next chapter is the "Tao Jing". The whole chapter is divided into eighty-one chapters! The whole chapter is only a few thousand words, so it is naturally not difficult to remember with Chen Tianyi's memory. But Chen Tianyi knew that the old dean did not let himself recite this Tao Te Ching for himself! It must not be!

Since Chen Tianyi was able to recite the Tao Te Ching silently, he had already put down his book, but looked like Bai Zheng, and began to sit cross-legged, look at the nose, and look at the heart with his nose. He began to ponder carefully from the first sentence "The Tao can be told, the Tao is extraordinary."

Chen Tianyi's mind has always been excellent. At this moment, he is completely immersed in scrutinizing the Tao Te Ching, and abandons all the troubles behind him without considering them. In the whole mind, only the obscure classical Chinese in the Tao Te Ching...

"Therefore, there is no desire to see its wonderfulness; there is always desire to see its boundaries."

"Therefore, the sage's governance is to weaken his heart, to strengthen his abdomen, to weaken his ambition, to strengthen his bones..."

"Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs..."

“…”

"A saint does not accumulate, and he thinks that he is a man, and he thinks that he has himself, and he is more with others. The way of heaven is profitable but not harm; the way of saints is to do but not fight..."

Chen Tianyi was immersed in the words and sentences of lying on the Tao Te Ching. In this way, another half day passed. During the day, he didn't eat or feel hungry or thirsty! However, the evil spirit that originally existed in Chen Tianyi's body was actually weakened little by little... It's just that Chen Tianyi didn't realize all this. At this moment, there was only the truth in the Tao Te Ching in his body!

"Haha. Yes, the mind is very good. Within half a day, you can truly eliminate distracting thoughts. After another half a day, you can think about the words and sentences. The spirit is clear and the evil spirit is dispersed... If this mind and understanding are in the prehistoric era, it will definitely be a piece of unforgettable jade for cultivating immortals!" At some point, Bai Zheng had already opened his eyes and watched Chen Tianyi's changes in a line. Chen Tianyi had not noticed it, but Bai Zheng had no eyesight, so he could naturally clearly feel the changes in Chen Tianyi's body. Although the Tao Te Ching could not enhance Chen Tianyi's strength, it slowly purified the evil spirit carried by Chen Tianyi's body and the power of ferocious beasts!

"However, at this moment, he was still immersed in the scrutiny of words. Although he understood the meaning, he did not associate himself with the great way of the mantra in the book. Only when he put himself into the truth of the great way, understand why life, why practice, why troubles, why unwillingness, and why killing, only in this way can he truly understand himself! Only by knowing himself can he truly touch the opportunity to practice Taoism. Dharma, don't force it! You can only rely on himself." Bai Zheng murmured in his heart, closed his eyes again, with a kind and indifferent smile on his face, and Chen Tianyi didn't know that Bai Zheng was cross-legged and closed his eyes, and was also silently reciting the Tao Te Ching...

Time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, from Chen Tianyi's beginning to reading the Tao Te Ching to pondering the Tao Te Ching, eighteen hours have passed. It took a full twelve hours just by closing your eyes to comprehend! He just kept sitting in a straight sitting position, looking at the nose, and watching the heart without moving! Such a toughness surprised Bai Zheng again!

Although he watched Chen Tianyi grow up, even after Chen Tianyi left the orphanage, Bai Zheng had been paying attention to Chen Tianyi secretly. He was always quite satisfied with Chen Tianyi, but that kind of satisfaction was just that Chen Tianyi had met the qualified standards as a man in the martial arts world! But he never expected that Chen Tianyi was so outstanding in practicing Taoism!

The mind, understanding, and determination are excellent! It is both good on all sides! You should know that in addition to being amazingly talented in the path of cultivation, it is also extremely important to be patient and able to endure loneliness!

"division……"

Seeing that Zhang Heng had been waiting outside for eighteen hours, he couldn't help but come in and wanted to call Bai Zheng and Shen Tianyi for dinner, but Bai Zheng shook his hand and sent him back.

"I want to see when he can realize in one breath." Bai Zheng had a satisfied smile on his face, and he looked at Chen Tianyi completely in a state of selflessness...
