Chapter 240 Take advantage of the trend for me, break the heart
In front of a jade jade with dragon patterns, a young man sat cross-legged.
This person's face is slightly red, and his long hair is half green and half white, and slightly scattered at the same time. He is wearing a light and beautiful jade leaf suit, with jade pendants hanging on his left and right waists, and a tiger talisman. He looks like a noble king. But from his clear eyes,
However, one can see a sense of untimely vicissitudes of life.
This man had been sitting quietly doing the exercises for an unknown amount of time. The two-foot-tall dragon-patterned jade in front of him suddenly became clear and emitted a soft brilliance. It was several feet away and had a slight warmth.
The young man was slightly startled.
Then, he stood up, facing the warm luster, and stepped into the dragon-patterned jade.
This mirror-like jade treasure can be seen at a glance by looking at it. However, in addition to its own use, it also has the purpose of teleporting the magic circle, which is very unique.
The situation in front of me changed.
What I saw in front of me at this time was a half-high mountain foothills, with a sunken flat land in the middle, and two peach blossoms in full bloom.
Under the peach blossom tree, there was a round table and a wooden chair, and sitting there was a man in black robe with a mysterious appearance, as if he could hold the world.
The young man bowed respectfully and said, "Meet the Master."
The man in black robe seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, and his voice contained no emotion or anger: "Zong San is exempt from the courtesy."
These two people were none other than the master of Yin-Yang Taoism, one of the few giants in the world; and his other disciple, Xia Zongsan, the "living son" of Yin-Yang Taoism, whom even Qin Menglin had never met.
At this moment, Xia Zongsan felt a ripple in his heart.
In fact, the foothills, peach blossoms, tables and chairs here are not real.
The place where Yin Yang Dao Master practices is a virtual and mysterious place in the Yin Yang Cave. Just as the name of Yin Yang Dao Master himself changes at any time, there is no fixed number. The same is true for his practice place, which has always been a manifestation.
Give a pseudonym to the illusion.
Because he was able to receive advice from such people, Xia Zongsan's eyesight was also incomparable to others. With his knowledge, he understood the principle of "the Dharma reaches its extreme and is against others". Normally, there are not many differences between masters and disciples.
The trivial rules and boundaries are like acquaintances forgotten for many years, and they are connected like friendly neighbors.
But there is one thing——
The places where teachings and sermons are given are often manifested in the form of a star platform, which is solemn and grand.
This is the "right path of Madhyamaka" in cultivating the heart. There is no gap in the mind between master and disciple, and it is important to break away from the shackles of form; but if it is unruly and undistinguished, it will be too intrusive and nondescript.
Drinking alone among the flowers.
Such a scene only appeared once in Xia Zongsan's memory.
Moreover, that time was actually not a very good memory for him.
That was nearly two hundred years ago. Master went on a trip. After returning, he held a baby in his arms. He celebrated that such a scene had mysteriously evolved and drank alone.
Then, from that day onwards——
Xia Zongsan moved from the Heavenly Lord Realm of Yin-Yang Cave to the Chongxuan Secret Land among the Four Secret Lands.
today……
However, Yin Yang Dao Master did not play riddles with him. He only heard him say calmly: "Zong San, from today on, you are no longer my Yin Yang Dao disciple."
Xia Zongsan suddenly raised his head.
The master of Yin Yang Tao took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and continued: "This thing is the closed passage to the North Pole. The method of witchcraft is probably connected with my Yin and Yang Tao. If you can pick up the method and learn from dialectics,
, you may not be able to find your own way."
After Xia Zongsan was momentarily confused, he immediately calmed down and said thoughtfully: "Master's intention... is for the disciples to pretend to join the witchcraft and pass on confidential information?"
Master Yin Yang shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "How can such a trick be possible when there are people like the Eight Great Witches?"
Xia Zongsan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "Under the general trend, the outcome is unpredictable, so you are betting on both ends?"
Master Yin Yang smiled slightly and said: "We have touched some boundaries. But after all, it is superficial, specious, and has not entered the true flow."
With a slight sigh, Taoist Master Yin Yang said quietly: "Please look carefully."
Xia Zongsan took a closer look.
Where Yin Yang Dao Master's sleeves are pointing is the wooden table in front of him.
At this time, two small wine glasses were placed on the wooden table. They were white and yellowish, but the bottom was slightly brown. It was unknown whether they were made of wood, brass, or other exotic metals.
With Xia Zongsan's extremely brilliant eyesight, he could easily determine that——
These two cups are like twin brothers, there is no difference in size or shape.
But now among the two wine glasses, one is full of fine wine, while the other is empty.
Master Yin Yang raised the glass full of wine.
However, he did not drink it directly; instead, he moved the cup with his fingertips, tilted the cup body, and poured it slowly, pouring the wine in this cup into the other cup.
Something wonderful happened.
When the empty cup on the table was gradually filled until it could no longer be filled, Master Yin Yang turned his hand and flicked the bottom of the cup in his palm——
Astonishingly, 20% of the drinks were not cleaned.
Xia Zongsan was stunned and thoughtful.
With Yin Yang Dao Master's heaven-reaching cultivation level, he would not be so bored that he would secretly use some tricks to show off. Then the scene in front of him is worth pondering.
Master Yin Yang paused for a moment, and finally poured down the remaining contents of the cup in one breath.
Just as the last drop of wine settled, the overflowing water glass underneath shattered and turned into dust.
Yin Yang Dao Master said lightly: "The transformation of fractals is like the shedding of a snake. No one can avoid this."
He added: "For example, if two countries are fighting, the victorious side will also have people who died in the war; the defeated side will also have people who can survive. There is still much to do if you let your own intelligence go. Don't let your heart feel shackles."
Xia Zongsan's eyes seemed to be much clearer.
Suddenly he turned around and came forward, bowed profusely and said solemnly: "After leaving this door, I would like to ask Master to enlighten me about the way forward."
Master Yin Yang nodded slowly and said: "There is no distinction between superior and inferior in the path ahead. Let's call it left and right."
"Your road may have three paths: left, middle and right."
"One of them is to live in seclusion, as a guest, and not to care about worldly affairs. Learn from the witchcraft and Taoist methods, create a line of Taoism, and spread it to future generations. The ups and downs in the world of Ziwei, the battles of victory and defeat, have nothing to do with you.
.”
"The second path is both an enemy and a friend, either going out or coming in. Although his name is there, he deliberately reconciles the two sides and is good at dancing. Although there is a cliff with nothing left and right, it may not be impossible to deal with it calmly."
"As for the third way..."
Xia Zongsan raised his head and said with some urgency: "What is the third way?"
There seems to be some unfathomable meaning in the face of Yin Yang Dao Master: "That is to completely join the witchcraft side, become the enemy of Yin Yang Dao, and become the enemy of the future Yin Yang Dao Master."
Xia Zongsan was stunned, shook his head repeatedly and said: "This disciple will never choose this path."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Zongsan said in a deep voice: "My disciple has made up his mind to take the first path."
Master Yin Yang glanced at Xia Zongsan, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Otherwise, I would suggest you take the third path."
Xia Zongsan's neck moved slightly, inexplicable surprise.
The Master of Yin Yang Tao suddenly said: "Zong San, in the past two or three hundred years, do you feel that your Tao practice has gone smoothly?"
Xia Zongsan was stunned. He didn't know why the Master had changed the subject. He asked this question. He immediately replied: "Master, I feel that my practice is quite diligent and I have not slacked off."
Yin Yang Dao Master shook his head and said: "There is no slack... This is true."
"But...you have the intention to bring calamity upon you, but in the end you haven't accomplished all the work."
"Two hundred years ago, I was a teacher who observed and discerned the celestial phenomena. If you had achieved perfection step by step, you would have been among the top ten heroes in the future. But looking at it today, I am afraid that you are already in the twenty-fifth century.
After the name. This does not include those people who cut off boundaries and keep to themselves, and do not know what is true and what is true."
Xia Zongsan's eyes were slightly dim.
The voice of the Yin Yang Dao Master is calm and profound: "I know the calamity of your heart well. This is not because of your lack of character; it is more due to the limitations of my Yin Yang Dao. So... if you choose the third path, it will be
It’s your chance to break free of your shackles.”
Xia Zongsan was in a daze for a while, the light in his eyes flowing and changing repeatedly. After a long time, he nodded resolutely and said: "Disciple, I understand."
For those who practice Taoism in other schools, being able to reach the state of close Taoism is already an extraordinary achievement.
But for Yin Yang Dao, stopping at the shortcut means a tragic ending.
Due to the constraints in the dark, only the Yin-Yang Tao masters of all generations can attain enlightenment without worry. The "second person" who hides in the dark has less than one chance of obtaining the Dharma.
Originally, Xia Zongsan was considered to have unparalleled qualifications, which was rare in this world.
Among the previous generations of Yin Yang Dao masters, his qualifications can be considered to be among the best.
I originally thought that he was the one to succeed to the throne of the Yin and Yang Dao lineage.
Until two hundred years ago, the Yin Yang Taoist brought back a baby.
To Qin Menglin, Xia Zongsan was a person he had never met before; but in Xia Zongsan's hands, he already had the shadow stone from the Yin Yang Cave Battle.
This is the knot of Xia Zongsan's heart.
However, there is one key point that must be mentioned.
When ordinary people encounter an opponent, they will naturally work hard and challenge them until they are victorious. However, due to the custom of Yin and Yang Dao not to meet each other, Xia Zong's three companies cannot follow this path.
The basis for the ruling is the judgment of the Yin Yang Taoist.
Qin Menglin and Xia Zongsan.
Qin Menglin is the one with greater potential.
The master of Yin Yang Taoism is responsible for understanding the creation, so Xia Zongsan naturally believes in his master's judgment.
only……
There is no opportunity to discuss the superiority and inferiority personally and determine the truth from the truth——
In the end, it’s hard to reconcile.
This is what Master Yin Yang said. Although Xia Zongsan had a mental calamity, it was not entirely due to his own lack of mental cultivation. In such a situation, if you put yourself in his shoes, in this vast world, those who can calmly resolve it are really rare.
Today, if Xia Zongsan chooses the third path, it means an opportunity.
An opportunity to make up for regrets and confront Qin Menglin.
The master of Yin Yang said calmly: "The destruction of the road is not a child's game. If there is a day when I face your junior sister with a sword, I will never teach him to be merciful. To save your life, you need to
Make careful plans. Whether you can survive in her hands and stand up again depends on your own destiny."
Xia Zongsan whispered: "This is natural."
"Master's good intentions will never be forgotten by my disciples."
After saying this and saluting, Xia Zongsan turned around gracefully.
