——The hard-nosed eye, a reward from a friend of Zichen Star Emperor. There is also a reminder from a friend to name it.
On the official road leading to the divine capital.
Shi Xuan is walking side by side with a white-haired old man, followed by the old man's family members and guards. This old man, Chen Yanbo, is the head of an official family in Mingzhou. Due to his age, he has long been an official at home, but he is keen on immortality. This time
I took my whole family with me to the capital of God to listen to Master Nan Guang’s sermons.
He was sitting in the carriage and accidentally saw Shi Xuan, a young Taoist priest walking outside. He was very handsome and elegant. He got excited and walked down to talk to Shi Xuan. As soon as they started chatting, he found that this young Taoist priest was better than the Immortal Taoist.
The conversation above was quite insightful. He was in high spirits and did not return to the carriage. He was talking to Shi Xuan on his own while walking, but it made the guards behind him suffer.
"The Taoist Master is really a reclusive person. Apart from immortals like Master Nanguang who have great supernatural powers, he is the Taoist Master who has the most profound knowledge." The more Chen Yanbo talked, the more he admired Shi Xuan.
From a young Taoist priest to a Taoist priest.
The reason why Shi Xuan talked to him was for another reason: "I heard that Master Chen, you went to the capital of God to listen to Master Nan Guang's sermon? Isn't he in Luojing?" Shi Xuan was originally planning to go to Chuwan first.
When I arrived in Luojing, I looked for Ding Mingde again. I went to the vicinity of Shendu and heard the news that was spreading a lot. It was Master Nanguang who was visiting Shendu and was preparing to give a sermon for three days. Now Chen Yanbo came forward. Naturally,
Find confirmation.
Chen Yanbo said with admiration on his face: "Yes, I often saw Master Nan Guang when I was an official in the court. He really has great magic power and supernatural powers. He also has a thorough understanding of Taoist classics and Confucian classics. Every word he speaks is perfect."
Thought provoking.”
After a pause, he continued: "However, it has been many years since I became an official. This time, Master Nan Guang came to Shendu, not far from Mingzhou, so I brought my family and children here to listen to him again.
"The teachings." Then he took out a gold-plated invitation and said, "This is the entry-level thing I asked someone to get. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get in in front of Nanguang Zhenren's door. I have a fate with the Taoist priest, why don't we go together?"
"That's very good." Shi Xuan didn't refuse. He wanted to ask Ding Mingde anyway. It might as well take a look at his behavior first.
Chen Yanbo had a smile on his face and seemed to be very satisfied with Shi Xuan's answer: "Actually, when I saw that the Taoist priest had to walk to the capital of God in the middle of winter, I guessed that the Taoist priest was going to listen to Master Nan Guang's sermon, so that's why
This question will definitely benefit the Taoist priest a lot from the teachings of Master Nanguang." It can be seen that this old man has great respect for Ding Mingde.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "This is my first time to listen to Master Nanguang's sermons. I hope I can gain something. I just don't know what Master Nanguang's usual hobbies are." Whether he has a firm Taoist heart or not, it can be seen from his usual actions.
Out one or two.
"Hahaha." Chen Yanbo pointed at Shi Xuan and laughed three times, "You are thoughtful." It seems that he misunderstood Shi Xuan's meaning, "But Master Nanguang is a very upright man, and he also has a mansion gifted by the emperor.
Fields, rare and rare treasures, eight living rooms, a hundred promises at a time, prosperity and wealth are extremely high, so they seldom collect money and gifts, and they treat each other with respect as guests. There are only a few beautiful concubines, most of them are gifts from the royal family, so they are not greedy for sex.
Man, it seems you are going to be disappointed."
Shi Xuan asked calmly: "Then what does he do most often?"
Chen Yanbo thought about it for a moment: "It's almost like ordinary people. He preaches to the emperor every few days and refines some elixirs. Well, the most common thing he does is to often open forums to lecture, promote our Taoism, and then preach.
Give medicine and help the poor."
"I heard that Master Nanguang often interfered in government affairs?" Shi Xuan asked with a smile.
Chen Yanbo frowned and said: "There is no such thing. It's just because Master Nanguang is of Confucian origin and has a lot of insights into government affairs, so the emperor loves to ask Master Nanguang for questions."
In a carriage not far behind, several women were talking and laughing. A naughty eleven-year-old girl with a melon-shaped face lifted the curtain and looked outside. Then she smiled at the others and said, "Grandpa looks like that."
The young Taoist priests had a great time chatting with each other! Sisters, do you think grandpa will marry one of you to that Taoist priest? You must know that grandpa is so fond of immortality!"
A dignified girl with an oval face of fifteen or sixteen years old blushed with embarrassment and took a breath: "Qiniang, if you want to marry, you can marry yourself, why bother with me." The other three girls nodded in the same way: "I think it's Qiniang.
The heart of spring is moving."
The naughty little girl with a childish look on her face didn't care and said proudly: "I'm only eleven years old, and we still have several years to talk about getting married. Several of my sisters are already waiting to be married. How can I not choose a good one carefully?"
“Look, that young Taoist priest looks pretty good. It’s better than marrying that nerd or a rough guy. In the future, maybe we can join in some dual cultivation together.” After saying this, he was laughing so hard that he couldn’t straighten his waist.
"Bah, Qiniang, you little girl, where did you hear these nonsense?" Another pretty girl who was also fifteen or sixteen years old said with a blush, "Besides, what's wrong with being a nerd? Maybe he will appear on the stage in the future.
In the pavilion, I will earn a phoenix crown and Xiapei for you."
"Okay, okay, if I don't say anything anymore, Si Niang, go find your champion." The little girl covered her mouth and snickered. After a while, she looked at Si Niang's hateful eyes and said with a serious face: "Those nonsense
I read all these words from the books that Si Niang and Er Niang found in your boxes."
"Okay, okay, you actually dare to steal my things." Si Niang and Er Niang rushed towards Qi Niang with red faces. They held down Qi Niang and gave her a good beating. Finally they said: "Okay, let's go talk to Grandpa and tell Qi Niang."
My mother is in love and wants to marry that young Taoist priest."
Qiniang said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense. As a Taoist priest, you have to be like Master Nanguang. That way, even if you, Si Niang, have a phoenix crown and a harem, you have to bow first when you see me, hehe."
…………
After entering Shendu City, Chen's family already had a place to stay. Chen Yanbo graciously invited Shi Xuan to live with him, saying that it would be convenient for them to listen to Master Nan Guang's sermon tomorrow.
Shi Xuan was also good at traveling around the world, so he went with the Chen family. There was no words for the whole night.
The next day.
Shi Xuan followed the Chen family to Jingshen Temple, the capital of the gods, where Ding Mingde was going to give a lecture.
When they arrived at the Depth of Field Temple, everyone got off the carriage and walked to the temple. They saw many gorgeous carriages parked at the front door of the Taoist temple. I think everyone in the city of God who was qualified to come and listen to the Taoism came here.
Chen Yanbo brought his two sons, four grandsons and five granddaughters. They were such a large group of people. Shi Xuan walked beside Chen Yanbo. Occasionally, he turned around and saw several of his granddaughters. They were glanced at by Shi Xuan.
, immediately blushed with embarrassment, and one of the lively and naughty girls glared at Shi Xuan fiercely.
Shi Xuan didn't know what they were thinking and didn't care. He continued to follow Chen Yanbo as usual, leaving the girls stunned for a while.
Passing through the front hall, stepping onto the corridor, and walking for a long time, I came to the square in front of the main hall of Depth of Fields. I saw that a large stage had been set up there, with Bagua, Four Symbols, Liangyi, and Tai Chi objects arranged on it.
, all of them are valuable and extraordinary.
After sitting in their respective seats, everyone quietly waited for the sermon hour to arrive. Even the chattering girls did not dare to say anything in this atmosphere. The entire square was silent for a moment.
After a while, I saw a person flying out from the main hall of Jingshen Guan and landing on the pulpit. He was wearing a purple Taoist robe, a Hunyuan Guan on his head, and his top bun was pinned with a jade hairpin. He looked handsome, and his eyes were bright, but he was faint.
As soon as he swept the whole place, everyone straightened their backs suddenly and became solemn and serious.
This Taoist was none other than Ding Mingde. His cultivation seemed to be progressing well, his appearance was well maintained, and he was very impressive and majestic. After scanning the audience, he slowly sat down on the futon in the middle and began today's sermon.
.
Ding Mingde's lecture was about using Confucianism to enter Taoism and using Confucianism to prove Taoism. The content was profound and simple, and it was brilliant. The audience below, who usually read classics and history rather than Taoism, were fascinated by what they heard. Shi Xuan sighed secretly.
, I thought that Ding Mingde really found the method of Confucianism and cultivation, but it seems that is not the case. These are just some common principles of mind.
For the Chen family, the half-day passed so quickly. It was noon in the blink of an eye. Master Nanguang said from above: "It's not early today, so let's call it a day. Please remember the way of practice.
It's about overcoming desire." After saying this, Master Nanguang disappeared directly from the stage.
"It's so exciting! Is this the magical power that grandpa often talks about?" Qiniang, who was shaken awake by Siniang, clapped excitedly. At first, she was excited because Ding Mingde flew on stage, but then she became drowsy.
While sleeping, I just regretted that there was no pillow beside me. I thought to myself, this Nanguang master is really boring. It was only then that I became lively again. I just felt that it was much more exciting than the temple fair performance.
Chen Yanbo glared at her and asked her to cover her mouth quickly, indicating that she would not dare to talk nonsense again, and then said to his son with confidence: "Let's go back and come back tomorrow. Taoist priest, Taoist priest?" Then he discovered Shi Xuan
Gone.
"Has any of you seen Taoist Master Shi?" Chen Yanbo asked his son, grandson and granddaughter.
Everyone shook their heads and answered in unison. They saw the person just now, but in the blink of an eye they disappeared. Chen Yanbo could only say: "Maybe Taoist Master Shi went to see Master Nanguang for advice. Let's go back first. He knows the way himself."
…………
Ding Mingde walked back with great satisfaction. It feels so good to promote his ideas! It feels so good to be worshiped by countless people of high status! It feels good to feel that every word and action can influence people's hearts!
He said to the two beautiful maids behind him: "Come in and give me a massage on your back." As he ordered, he waited for the maid to open the door. He sighed in his heart. If he hadn't met his uncle and had that adventure, what would he have done?
How could Master Nan Guang exist today? He could enjoy the service of beautiful maids at any time, and have a good wife to serve him. Every thing used in his daily life was exquisite and precious, and he had a large number of followers when he went out.
As a sedan, you don't need to work hard on your own, but you can also give guidance to the country, counsel the government, and enjoy the respect and respect of the supreme ruler in the world.
"Ah! There is someone!" The beautiful maid who opened the door screamed and hurriedly hid behind Ding Mingde. This master of hers had great magical powers.
Ding Mingde's little talent was about to activate, but he saw a young Taoist sitting on the Taishi chair in the room, sitting there with a calm expression, his appearance was no different from twenty years ago!
