Lu Zhengkang and Fu Daozi talked about their subjective experiences in practice. Jing Bodhi kept nodding aside. This old nun has switched to the "Trouble-Ending Method". After the transformation, her magic power has been quite depleted. She has fallen into the realm of elixir formation and her life span has been reduced.
She has been cutting for two hundred years, but she has made no progress compared to before.
Now at least there is a smooth road in front of her. It doesn't matter if she starts late. Walking steadily and continuously is true. She and Lu Zhengkang discussed the Tao and confirmed the difficulties and key points they encountered in practice. Everyone shared each other's opinions.
By learning from it, I learned a lot about the beauty and flexibility of practice.
Time flies by, and before you know it, it’s time for lunch. In the countryside, guests only need a pot of wine, a plate of chopped chicken, a plate of soybean stewed pig’s trotters, a plate of stir-fried Malan vegetables with dried beans, and a plate of stir-fried soybean oil.
The salty mustard greens are not comparable to the delicacies in Xianmen, even the ordinary restaurants on the roadside are far more prosperous than these dishes.
Fu Daozi looked at these simple meals without any disdain, "The best taste in the world is happiness, and it has always been like this. Brother Lu Dao, Master Jingbodhi, I would like to toast you two."
"please."
"I'll forgive you for using tea instead of wine."
Three people sit at the same table, a self-proclaimed Taoist priest, a nun who has become a monk, and a demon who hides his clumsiness. The dishes on the table include both meat and vegetables. The Taoist and the demon drink wine and eat meat, while the nun drinks tea and eats vegetables. They do not interfere with each other.
.
Although it is said that food does not speak, at the dinner table, Lu Zhengkang has lived for three lifetimes and has basically never encountered anyone who does not speak while eating - the mute can also make gestures.
Lu Zhengkang has always been curious about Fu Daozi's identity as a Taoist priest, "Your ancestor of the Qinglian Sword Sect is not a Taoist priest, right? Why do you all use Dharma names to travel around the world? Speaking of which, I don't know what your real name is, brother Fu Daozi.
"
Fu Daozi put down his wine glass, "Our Qinglian Sword Sect is not the inheritance of the Qinglian Patriarch alone. When he entered Shushan Cave Heaven, he conquered the three original Taoist sects in the mountain and passed them down together. The younger generation of disciples will always have this
Such customs spread. Now Shushan
Most of the twenty-four peaks have dharma names. However, we are not regular Taoist priests. We just admire the pure and elegant style of Quanzhen, so we dress up like this. As for my real name, I have forgotten the name I used when I was a layman, but I chose it later.
An invincible name."
Lu Zhengkang nodded, "An Kedi, what a spirit."
"It's funny. The children of the Sword Sect often have the arrogance to be the first in the world. It is considered a good thing to have a more arrogant name. If the name does not match the destiny, there will be many ups and downs, and we will not be afraid of it."
Lu Zhengkang nodded, "I wonder if fellow Taoist Qing Ningzi has a lay name?"
"Junior sister grew up in the Qinglian Sword Sect. She never had a proper name, but she did have a nickname." Fu Daozi waved his hand, turned the subject away, raised his wine and made a toast to Jing Bodhi, "Master invited me, but I have something that I don't understand.
.”
"Fellow Taoist, please ask."
"It is said that Master Jingbodhi is already a Zen master who has transcended the world of form. Why does he still abide by the pure rules and precepts?"
"I just can't bear it."
"Plants and trees are also living beings. There are many plants in the world who realize that the heaven and earth have transformed into spirits and monsters. They are sentient beings. Why don't monks care about these lives?"
Jingbodhi bowed his head and clasped his hands together, "Monks and nuns, you must have something to chew, otherwise wouldn't the Dharma become poison?"
Lu Zhengkang laughed and scolded: "You, a Taoist priest, deliberately say these things to offend people."
Fu Daozi's expressionless face seemed frank, "It's just a doubt that I have always had. By the way, speaking of it, was there any grudges between brother Lu Daozi and my junior sister Qing Ningzi? Or was it her?
Did you act boldly to contradict Brother Tao?"
Lu Zhengkang shook his head, "It's not that there is any grudge. It's just some misunderstanding. I was traveling around Fengcheng earlier, pretending to be an ordinary person. When fellow Taoist Qingningzi saw me, he wanted to invite me to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Of course I am
I declined. Later, a flash flood broke out in the Yuelun Mountain area, and I rushed over to provide disaster relief. Unexpectedly, I ran into fellow Taoist Qing Ningzi for the second time."
Fu Daozi nodded and said sincerely: "It's an embarrassing thing. I will go back and tell the master. She must have the excuse to bully the junior sister again."
The eyes of Lu Zhengkang and Jing Bodhi suddenly became strange.
The beard on Fu Daozi's chin trembled twice, "Ahem, I spilled the beans. Just don't pay attention."
They took their time to finish the meal, mainly because there weren't many dishes, otherwise they could have kept eating.
After dinner, Fu Daozi and Lu Zhengkang made an appointment to play in a human city thousands of miles away. A disciple of Chitian Mansion was waiting outside the door holding a jade cup.
Fu Daozi was confused: "Brother Dao, what does this mean?"
"Stay less, wait less." Lu Zhengkang walked to the disciples, stretched out his left hand, picked up a black iron dagger with his right hand, and touched it on his wrist. Clear and bright red blood dripped down, and soon it was full.
A cup. The disciples took the blood and bowed to leave.
Lu Zhengkang touched the wound on his wrist and cast a spell on himself. Even after it healed, not a single scar was left.
Fu Daozi was even more confused. The Chitian Mansion disciple was also a monk. Although he was only practicing Qi, it was not normal for three monks to appear in a mortal village. Moreover, this disciple was obviously affiliated with Lu Zhengkang.
Lu Zhengkang turned around and smiled, "If something goes wrong while practicing, I have to bleed myself every day."
"If Brother Tao feels unwell, you don't need to accompany me to chat and play. You can go into seclusion and practice."
Lu Zhengkang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. This is not a problem that can be solved by seclusion. I took some disciples to cultivate in the Yuelun Mountain area just to find a way to solve this hidden danger."
Fu Daozi accepted his statement for the time being, and he laughed at himself: How can you survive now because someone is merciful, and regardless of past grudges, why do you still want to explore other people's secrets?
The two of them used their own methods and flew away, thinking that they had been floating in the depths of Zhonglu for a while. The view from high altitude was quite good, and they could see the continuous land under their feet. The farmland formed a beautiful and regular buffer zone between the settlement and nature.
, Lu Zhengkang smiled and said to Fu Daozi: "Nature has spirits, and nature also has spirits in the human world. You see, these villages and towns are still small and young. When the cities spread thousands of miles away, you may be able to sense the vitality in them even more.
.”
Fu Daozi nodded, "People often worship the Kitchen God, which seems to be a kind of respect for the ups and downs of the human world. Famous mountains and rivers have mountain gods and rivers to worship. In the future, maybe even a house will have gods for people to worship."
"Who says it's not the case? Heaven has emotions and evolves nature, and nature has spirits. Humanity has emotions and evolves civilization, and civilization has spirits. Heaven and man interact with each other, and the roads lead to the same destination. I can't wait to see the bustling city, Fu Daozi
