Chapter Fourteen: I just ask, can you live forever?
Three Taoist priests talk about mysteries together, three monks talk about money together... talk about Zen, three scholars talk about romance and beauties together, and three women are together, then they can only talk about the Dong family and the Li family.
The Wang family’s wife is shameless!
Now there are three Taoist priests in the restaurant of Mrs. Zhao's family.
After Yuan Tiangang casually sent Ma Zhou's hexagram and pointed out that because of his lack of personal ethics, it might take another ten years to get rich in this life, Ma Zhou, who looked deeply shocked, only remained decadent for a few minutes.
, became lively again, and began to ask Yuan Tiangang for advice on divination.
"The so-called divination is nothing more than eight characters..."
Although Ma Zhou's performance somewhat damaged his image as a famous official in Zhenguan, Yuan Tiangang seemed to admire such Ma Zhou and actually explained it to Ma Zhou.
"That's the first sentence in the opening statement of "Huangdi Yinfu Jing", the way to observe the sky is to follow the way of heaven! The so-called nature is human beings, the so-called human heart is machine, and the so-called way to observe heaven is
, that is, establishing the way of heaven to determine people.
Therefore, the secrets of heaven are open but not dead, and the secrets of earth are relaxed but not born. Heaven sends murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground. Humans send murderous intentions, and heaven and earth turn upside down. Therefore, those who do divination must use the human heart to understand the nature of nature, and use nature to steal the secrets of heaven.
.
If one can understand the mechanics of heaven and earth, then creation depends on hands, and life and death depend on people.
This is the combination of heaven and man, the foundation for all changes!"
As Yuan Tiangang narrated, Ma Zhou didn't know whether Kong Qing understood, but in the field of vision that no one else could see, only Kong Qing could see the system panel, and lines of text were sliding across it.
Taoist master Yuan Tiangang is teaching you the art of divination, and your experience in the junior Liu Renshu skill has increased!
Taoist master Yuan Tiangang is teaching you the method of divination. You have obtained a new passive skill, "Yin Fu Jing" primary level, (incomplete, cannot be upgraded)
Elementary level of "Yin Fu Jing":
You have a certain understanding of the way to observe the sky and the journey of holding the sky in the "Yin Fu Jing", and have a certain understanding of the life and death of the heaven and earth, and the principles of yin and yang...
Passive skill, all divination skill levels will be increased by one!
Just when the writing on the panel appeared, Kong Qing felt that his mind suddenly became very clear. Some knowledge from the past life and the contents of the Taoist classics he had read after traveling suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was attracted by it.
Digestion and absorption.
Is this the result of personal guidance from a Taoist master?
Kong Qing was very interested in Taoism in his previous life, and in the year after time travel, he also found and read many Taoist classics from the relics of his cheap master, Taoist Xuancheng.
Now the contents of the "Yin Fu Jing" among the classics he had read quickly appeared in Kong Qing's mind, and then Kong Qing became Kong Qing's own knowledge.
Of course, Yuan Tiangang was not alone. When he was telling the story, he also mentioned a few words about his student Li Chunfeng. Sometimes he even asked Li Chunfeng to add a few words and help Ma Zhou clear up his doubts.
For Kong Qing, what he showed was...
Taoist cultivator Li Chunfeng is teaching you the art of divination, and your experience in the "Liu Ren Shu" skill has been slightly improved!
Taoist cultivator Li Chunfeng is teaching you the art of divination, and your experience in the primary (incomplete, non-upgradeable) "Yin Fu Jing" has been slightly improved!
…
As the lines of text floated by, Kong Qing felt that his understanding of "Liu Ren Shu" and "Yin Fu Jing" was constantly improving. When converted to the system panel, it was "Liu Ren Shu" and "Yin Fu Jing"
The experience is constantly increasing...
This feeling of becoming stronger just by sitting made Kong Qing feel intoxicated.
When Yuan Tiangang spoke for about ten minutes and stopped to drink water, he happened to see Kong Qing nodding slightly with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Just now when the old Taoist was doing the calculations, he saw Qingwei looking straight at you and moving your fingers slightly. Now you are understanding and nodding frequently..."
When he saw Kong Qing's serious and handsome face, Yuan Tiangang suddenly touched the little Taoist priest in white with his hand on a whim and showed an encouraging smile.
"I guess Qingwei, you also have some opinions of your own. I wonder if you can tell them so that the experts can listen to them?"
"In front of Zhenren Yuan, there is no room for Pindao, a junior scholar, to speak."
Because he had just acquired a lot of knowledge through the "Yin Fu Jing" skill, Kong Qing was quite eager to give Yuan Tiangang's invitation to speak.
"But since the real person is asking for help, I just want to share some of my own insights and ask for some advice from the real person."
After saying that, Kong Qing stood up from his kneeling position and bowed to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng first.
"From Pindao's point of view, the so-called way of observing the sky is the way of observing nature..."
Just after Kong Qing said these words, Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard with his hand and nodded slightly, as if to encourage Kong Qing.
"Those who observe the way of nature do not observe it with their eyes, but with their heart. Because the heart is deep and subtle and has nothing to see, it can illuminate the nature of nature. Only the deep and subtle can illuminate it, so it is called Yin.
.”
By the time Kong Qing continued to say these words, Yuan Tiangang's expression had changed from relaxed and carefree to a somewhat solemn look.
"Those who adhere to the natural movement have nothing to hold on to. They do not hold it with their hands, but hold it with the machine. The machine is flexible and has no ties, so it can conform to the principles of nature. This is called a talisman.
From Pindao's point of view, what Yuan Zhenren said just now means..."
After saying this, Kong Qing looked at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who were already listening attentively, and spoke word by word.
"It's just eight words to reflect it with the heart, and to make it with the machine."
Bang bang bang...
Just after Kong Qing finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang actually raised his hands and clapped.
"The summary is very insightful. There is a successor to Taoist Xuancheng!"
"???"
After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Kong Qing suddenly had a confused look on his face.
"Master Yuan, do you know the master?"
"Of course we know each other. Taoist Xuancheng and the old Taoist are old acquaintances..."
Yuan Tiangang held his beard with his hands and looked at Kong Qing with emotion on his face.
"In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, your master, Taoist Xuancheng, came to Shuzhong and wanted to join the Zhanxuan sect. Therefore, he and the old Taoist had some exchanges with each other. The master was very charming, looked at the refined world, and talked about mystical theories.
When he talks, his words flow like a river, which is thought-provoking..."
ah!
Kong Qing blinked his big black and white eyes in confusion.
Has my cheap master ever done this kind of thing?
"Now the old Taoist can still clearly recall the master's demeanor back then. It's a pity..."
Yuan Tiangang said with a sigh.
"Although my master is very handsome and capable of answering ten questions, he has a shallow fortune and is born with a secular nature. He has no chance to join the Taoism and is not qualified to join our Zhanxuan sect. It is really a pity..."
Kong Qing nodded silently.
I understand that my cheap master was rejected because he had enough understanding but not enough basic skills.
"Back then, out of good intentions, the old Taoist once said to his master, 'Although I, the Zhanxuan sect, cannot lead you into Taoism, there are many high-level Taoists from Dongyuan sect, Louguan sect, and Shangqing sect, so we may not be unable to lead you into Taoism.' So,
The commander then packed his bags and went to Taihu Lake’s Maji Mountain to look for the Dongyuan sect..."
As he spoke, Yuan Tiangang's tone of voice became a little lower.
"Now it seems that even if it is the Dongyuan Sect, the Louguan Taoist or the Shangqing Sect, there is no chance for the master to enter the Tao!"
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes lost in thought.
"When I passed by this restaurant today, I had a vague feeling that this place was connected to me. It turned out that I was destined to you, Qingwei. I must have passed away now, right?"
"good!"
Kong Qing nodded calmly and answered honestly.
"My master's end came a year and a half ago, and he emerged safely."
"such a pity……"
Yuan Tiangang's eyes showed a look of regret.
"With the talent of the master, if I can enter the Tao, my Taoist sect will have another real person. It's a pity... it's a pity..."
With that said, Yuan Tiangang lowered his head and looked at Kong Qing.
"Although my master is proficient in Huang Lao's teachings, he has never been able to enter the Tao due to his limited talent. But Qingwei is different. You have immortal roots. If you enter my Taoism, you may be able to travel to the surface of the eight extremes in the future..."
After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Kong Qing felt his heart beating suddenly.
The person in front of me who invited him is the famous immortal of the Tang Dynasty, the current leader of the Zhanxuan Sect, and the real Taoist master Yuan Tiangang.
Does that mean that I also have a chance to become an immortal?
"oops……"
Kong Qing hasn't spoken yet, but Ma Zhou, who is familiar with him, already has a cheerful expression on his face.
"This is a rare and good opportunity. Dear brother Qingwei, it is a very rare thing to be able to become a disciple of Taoist Master Yuan Tiangang!"
Li Chunfeng, who was sitting opposite, also had a smile on his face and nodded to Kong Qing with a smile. "If Junior Brother Qingwei can join our Zhanxuan Sect, it will be regarded as fulfilling one of the wishes of our master, Taoist Xuancheng."
Under Yuan Tiangang's expectant gaze, Kong Qing stood up respectfully, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed his hands to the ground seriously.
"I'm an ignorant kid. I just want to ask Master Yuan... Can the knowledge of the Zhanxuan sect lead to immortality?"
