Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Miss Liu is different from your two senior brothers. I think you can rest assured that Master Xu will pass on his skills to you."
Liu Lanqing lowered his head: "However, this body-fixation method is not the ultimate Tao method. Let's not talk about whether it can prove the Tao. Just talking about magical powers, Master Lin and Wang Shixiu can break it."
Lin Xiaodong raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Miss Liu to have such high ambitions."
Liu Lanqing pouted and shook his head: "What's the use? My teacher's skills are only so far. He hasn't made any progress in thirty years."
Lin Xiaodong comforted and said: "Cultivation of Taoism does not happen overnight."
Liu Lanqing said: "Having said that, the road is vast, but there must be a correct direction."
Lin Xiaodong understood Liu Lanqing's intention and said: "Your teacher has worked hard to cultivate you, and you have been practicing hard for more than ten years. You must not let it go to waste."
Liu Lanqing stood up and looked directly at Lin Xiaodong: "But since it is hopeless, wouldn't it be a waste of time if we continue to persist?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "This matter must be agreed by your teacher. What's more, it's hard to find the right path. To gain great supernatural powers and great freedom, you will naturally have to pay a heavy price."
Liu Lanqing said firmly: "Since you have embarked on the path of cultivating Taoism, you should be shattered into pieces and wiped out in ashes, no matter what."
Lin Xiaodong nodded solemnly: "If this is the case, and your teacher agrees, you can come to me again."
Xu Qing blinked: "Brother Lin, Miss Liu, what are you talking about?"
Liu Lanqing stood up and smiled at Xu Qing: "I'm fine. Miss Xu and Taoist Lin will chat slowly."
He bowed to Lin Xiaodong and left.
After seeing off Liu Lanqing, Lin Xiaodong and Xu Qing returned to the hall. Xu Qing muttered: "What did you say to Miss Liu, so mysteriously?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's nothing, just talking about mysteries and Taoism."
Xu Qing shook her head: "I don't understand."
Lin Xiaodong chuckled and asked, "How is your brother's house being built?"
Xu Qing said: "The roof has been covered. Once the windows are installed, the outer frame will be finished."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Well, after the house is built, your brother can hold weddings."
Xu Qing nodded: "Yes, my brother and Sister Dong have finally come to an end after so many years."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "How is aunt's health?"
Xu Qing said: "My mother is in good health."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "That's good."
Xu Qing lowered her head and said, "Brother Lin moved here. I'm so bored at home."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Then you can come and play with me."
Xu Qing pouted: "My mother refused to let me do it, saying it was not good for me to come to you myself."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Then you can bring someone with you."
Xu Qing's eyes lit up: "I'll bring my sister Dong with me."
Lin Xiaodong agreed: "I happen to be alone to talk to you."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Xu Qing went home.
But Liu Lanqing returned to the mountain gate and went to Xu Shuzhi's residence at night and knocked on the door.
Xu Shuzhi opened the door: "What's wrong?"
Liu Lanqing lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I have something to tell you."
Xu Shuzhi invited the people in and they sat across from each other at the table.
Liu Lanqing pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Teacher, have I acquired all the skills of our Silent Rong Guan?"
Xu Shuzhi nodded: "The skills of being a teacher have been taught to you. With your qualifications, you will be able to surpass your two senior brothers in less than two years, and sooner or later you will surpass me."
Liu Lanqing bit her lip and blinked for a while, then said: "Does that mean that our Ji Rong Guan's ability ends here?"
When Xu Shuzhi heard this, he grinned and sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, your master has taught me these skills. Once I have mastered them to my level, I will have reached the top."
Liu Lanqing said: "However, Wang Shixiu was able to break the immobilization technique, and Master Lin could do it even more easily."
Xu Shuzhi looked at Liu Lanqing for a moment and said, "You are really wasting your qualifications by learning my Taoist method of Silent Beauty."
Liu Lanqing lowered his head: "I want to learn from Master Lin's skills."
Xu Shuzhi blinked: "Does Master Lin agree?"
Liu Lanqing said: "Master Lin is waiting for your answer."
Xu Shuzhi stood up, came to the window, and looked up at the bright moon: "Go ahead, I have already killed your two senior brothers, how can I delay you any longer."
Liu Lanqing's eyes turned red and she stood up: "But, what will the teacher do if I leave?"
Xu Shuzhi said: "You don't have to worry about running the mountain gate as a master. If you learn the wonderful method from Master Lin, don't forget the skills of our Silk Rong Temple."
Liu Lanqing knelt on the ground and said: "Teacher's teachings, students should keep them in mind."
Xu Shuzhi helped Liu Lanqing up and said, "You are the student I am most proud of. In the future, I will have to rely on you to support me as a teacher."
Liu Lanqing wiped her tears with her sleeves, and Xu Shuzhi waved his hand: "Go."
On the morning of the second day, Liu Lanqing carried the package and went down the mountain, looking back three times at a time.
In the morning, when he came to Qiongchang Mountain and saw Lin Xiaodong, Liu Lanqing shed two lines of tears: "My teacher agreed."
Lin Xiaodong stepped forward and said, "Miss Liu, don't be sad. You have learned Lin's Taoism, but in a matter of seconds, you will not be separated from your teacher."
Liu Lanqing had tears hanging from her eyelashes: "Within a snap of your fingers?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "However, I have something to say first. To be free, you have to pay a big price."
Liu Lanqing asked: "What price?"
Lin Xiaodong flicked his sleeves, opened the void, and revealed the world of precious flames and light lamps, saying: "Only when you get this world can you get my concentration on emptiness."
Liu Lanqing blinked: "Go to another world?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "That's exactly it."
Liu Lanqing's eyes flickered: "Doesn't that mean that I can no longer see my teacher and can't come back?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "After gaining the concentration of nothingness, I can incarnate into billions and infinite worlds, all of which can come and go freely."
Liu Lanqing felt lighthearted after hearing this: "If that's the case, I'm willing to go."
Lin Xiaodong said: "However, once you have achieved this concentration, you will have no body. Although you can show yourself as a human body, you know that everything is empty and illusory. If you gain the Great Way, you will lose the joy of life."
It's like a glass of water. You know it's fake, but if you drink it again, will it still taste good?"
Liu Lanqing suddenly realized it, raised his head and opened his mouth: "No wonder Master Lin would sit on the bluestone, it turns out that everything has been discovered long ago."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "That's it. I live in the Taoist temple, but I know that it is no different than sitting on the bluestone, so I feel it is boring. This is the price of the Taoist temple."
Liu Lanqing pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "As a Taoist, how can I covet the pleasures in the world, not to mention that nine out of ten things in life are not what you want. Even if there is fun, it is like morning dew, fleeting.
I am willing to enter this world and obtain the ultimate right path."
Lin Xiaodong said: "The joy in this concentration is also endless, no less than the joy in the world."
Liu Lanqing was about to step into the world of Baoyan Guangming Lamp when he suddenly heard a voice from down the mountain: "Master Lin!"
Lin Xiaodong and Liu Lanqing looked down the mountain and saw Xu Shuzhi chasing them.
Liu Lanqing was surprised: "Teacher?"
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "I'm afraid your teacher will regret it and be reluctant to leave you."
