Chapter 551 The real person will knock on the gate as soon as he arrives
Two Taoist priests, one old and one young, spent two snow coins at one end of the long bridge and got two Xianjia orange tree tokens.
Zhang Shanfeng asked softly: "Master, does your trick work? Why do I feel like there are still many people looking at us? Besides, we are from Paidi Peak, so it is not a shameful thing. I was traveling there back then.
, but no one saw that I came from Paidi Peak, and they never even mistook me for Taoshan and pointed to the top of the mountain where my senior brothers were named Xuan. I followed my master’s instructions and only said that I was from Longhu Mountain in the Middle Earth.
Even more, no one believes in the Heavenly Master."
Master Huolong smiled and said, "It must be because your senior brothers don't have great reputations."
Zhang Shanfeng sighed, "I think the Taoism of our fellow apprentices is quite high."
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Every time you go up the mountain slowly and leisurely, don't go down the mountain awkwardly. You can also see that my senior brother is very good at Taoism?"
Zhang Shanfeng nodded vigorously and lowered his voice and said: "I heard the fellow apprentices on the mountain say several times that the realm of senior fellow apprentices who are able to run out and climb the mountain on their own is frighteningly high."
Master Huolong asked with a smile: "How come you are tall?"
Zhang Shanfeng shook his head, "There is no guarantee. Some say he is a Jindan Earth Immortal, while others say he must be a Dragon Gate Realm Immortal."
Having said this, Zhang Shanfeng said solemnly: "Master, although we are not allowed to talk about realms casually on Difeng, our nephews are young after all. These small talk are just innocent nature. Master is not allowed to talk about the realm.
I'll catch people and get angry when I get back, otherwise how can I still practice in Paidi Peak in the future? I won't have to call my junior uncle behind my back, a gossiping elder?"
Master Huolong smiled and nodded.
Zhang Shanfeng still felt uneasy, "Master, you have to give me the right words, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Zhang Shanfeng couldn't help but feel nervous. Since he could remember, he had only seen his master get angry once.
A senior brother who was able to leave Paidi Peak to start a mountain alone once had a dispute with another senior brother who stayed on Paidi Peak to practice for some unknown reason. Maybe the reason was not explained clearly, so they just talked about the level of realm.
In fact, the senior brother who was mentioned did not think that those words needed to be taken seriously. He never thought that his master, who had been sleeping soundly for two or three years, shook the snow from the big snowdrift on the peak for the first time, and then disappeared in a flash.
Lying on the ground.
Zhang Shanfeng, who was still a small child at the time, was busy having a snowball fight with several Taoist boys of the same age. As a result, they all looked at each other, and then continued the snowball fight. Whether the master was present or not, they did not delay their fun. After all, they were lying on the ground.
Feng, it’s rare to see snow falling. I only have the chance to see it when Master falls asleep. I’m really happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Later, Zhang Shanfeng heard that the senior brother who just said a wrong sentence was expelled from the master on the same day. The senior brother knelt and kowtowed for a full month on the edge of the boundary of Paidi Peak. Master
None of them changed their minds. The other senior brothers all walked up to Paidi Peak, but none of them dared to say anything. They just stood on Paidi Peak, as if they had made a mistake and were no less inferior than their fellow disciples.
Zhang Shanfeng, probably because of his young age, was the only disciple who dared to ask about this at that time, because he was curious about why the master was so angry.
At that time, after all the disciples had left Paidi Peak, Master only said two words to Zhang Shanfeng.
"There is no such thing as unintentional words, there are only intentional words that are said carelessly."
"People at the bottom of the mountain don't matter. People on the mountain are very dangerous. They either take the lives of those who practice Taoism, or they take the lives of more ordinary people at the bottom of the mountain."
Zhang Shanfeng still wanted to plead for that senior brother, but Master Huolong just shook his head, gently touched the little Taoist priest's head, and said that's it. Since your senior brother has reached the end of the road while practicing on the mountain, why not go to the outside of the mountain to practice?
Cultivation of mind.
At this moment on the long bridge, the old master had no choice but to promise in person: "Okay, Master will pretend that he has never heard of this."
Walking on the long bridge, Zhang Shanfeng noticed a bright-faced young man in yellow, standing not far away in a daze, as if looking at the master and apprentice. Then the young man turned around and ran away, disappearing in a flash.
Zhang Shanfeng asked in confusion: "Master, what is this?"
Master Huolong smiled and said: "I have met and dealt with him before."
Over there, Li Yuan broke into a cold sweat and ran away like crazy. I have seen your uncle before. I helped Du Shuizheng with dignity, but he was suppressed at the bottom of Dadu Water by you using the water method for a full month.
Master Huolong frowned and turned his head to look.
It was Sun Jie, the sect leader who also used the same blinding technique.
Sun Jie gritted his teeth and walked forward quickly. He had no choice. If this old master was just passing by Shuilong Sect, since Sun Jie had obtained the will, it would be fine if he didn't show up. But the old master would obviously go to the Dragon Palace Cave. If his grandson
If you still stay in the Patriarch Hall, it is inconsistent with etiquette. Even if you are reprimanded by the old master in person, it is better than losing etiquette in your own Shuilong Sect.
Although Master Huolong was not willing to offer more entertainment, at least the other party was the head of a sect, so he extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man and said: "I am just here to visit with my disciples."
At the same time, he told Sun Jie clearly in his heartfelt words, "Sect Master Sun, my disciple doesn't know much about what's going on at the bottom of the mountain. Please cover up a few things."
Sun Jie immediately understood, nodded, and said with a smile: "I have seen a real person."
Master Huolong smiled and nodded in greeting.
Zhang Shanfeng was confused. He didn't even know how to address the other person respectfully, so he had to return the favor, "Junior Zhang Shanfeng, I have met my senior."
Sun Jie quickly returned the gift again.
The direct disciple of Master Huolong deserves a single gift from him, the leader of Shuilong Sect.
This made Zhang Shanfeng a little confused, so he had to bow his head respectfully.
Master Huolong was a little helpless.
Sun Jie himself felt that something was wrong, so he stopped formalizing and just said that he would accompany the real person for a while.
Every time Huolong Zhenren travels down the mountain, he always travels alone, and there are almost no disciples around him. Whether it is Taixia Yuanjun who unfortunately passed away in the army, or Taoshan, Zhixuan and other disciples who opened the mountain, even if they are
He is a master of Taoism, but it is said that he has never followed the old master who likes to sleep, and has traveled far and wide with his master and disciples. In fact, Zhang Shanfeng went down the mountain this time, many years later, and traveled all the way south to other continents.
He was approached by his master, and then they traveled together to the Middle-earth Divine Continent and the South Posas Continent. Before that, Zhang Shanfeng was alone, even if he slept in the open air and was hungry all the way, he said it was to hone his Taoism, but in fact it was all bitterness.
Sun Jie sent Master Huolong and Zhang Shanfeng to the restaurant, then said goodbye and left.
Zhang Shanfeng was chatting with him all the way. He was probably worried that his master would not be able to socialize, so he had to do it for his disciple.
Just when Sun Jie was about to turn around, Master Huolong said: "Li Yuan, Pindao, just give you a word."
Sun Jie just wanted to salute.
Master Huolong waved his hand, "No need."
After the polite senior walked away, Zhang Shanfeng whispered: "Master, why don't you pay any attention to me?"
Master Huolong smiled and said: "We are not friends, so we don't have to talk. Friends don't come from chatting."
Master Huolong looked a little nostalgic. Do he have any friends? Of course he does, and there are quite a few of them. Unfortunately, they are all old friends.
When you live too long, you seem to have no choice but to say goodbye to your friends one by one. Some can say goodbye in person, while others cannot.
Being able and being unable is actually sad.
This has nothing to do with the level of Taoism.
Therefore, it is good for the disciples around me to get to know Chen Pingan, who likes to talk about truth, and Xu Yuanxia, who likes to write landscape travel notes.
It's even better that both Zhang Shanfeng and Chen Ping'an respect the bearded ranger from the bottom of their hearts.
If we have the same spirit and share weal and woe, drinking water is better than drinking alcohol.
Some brothers and sisters are the icing on the cake, and there is a knife hidden in the flowers.
But some times of need are when friends bring charcoal in hand. After sending it, they shake hands and say goodbye, saying only trivial matters.
There were still thirty-four miles away from the "Jidu Summer Resort" city gate, Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Master, how did you calculate Chen Ping'an's location?"
The old man said: "This is a difficult thing, but Chen Ping'an is deeply involved with you. For example, he was the first to get the Celestial Master Seal and the ancient sword you are carrying now.
Then the opportunity to give it to you gave the master some clues. In addition, Chen Ping'an happens to be in Luzhou, Beiju. If he is in another continent, it will be even more difficult for the master to divine."
In fact, there is another secret matter that Master Huolong did not disclose to Zhang Shanfeng, that is, they met in the alley of the village in the southeast of Aquarius Island. As a return gift, Master Huolong gave Chen Pingan a meeting gift to help the child.
On the road to martial arts in the future, it will be a little more stable. After all, this dispensable love is not something that can be talked about.
When they arrived at the entrance to the Dragon Palace Cave, Zhang Shanfeng felt that the Water Dragon Sect was a little evil when he heard that he needed to take out two small summer coins.
Zhang Shanfeng gritted his teeth, took out two small summer coins from his sleeves, and handed them to the Shuilong Sect monk guarding the city gate.
When passing the city gate, Zhang Shanfeng touched the door nails inlaid on the red painted door. He turned to the old man and said, "Master, do you want to touch it too? Chen Ping'an said many local customs back then, among which Shangcheng
All kinds of diseases can be cured from your head. Even if you touch the doornails when you pass through the city gate, you can drive away filth and bad luck."
Master Huolong smiled and shook his head, "Forget it as a teacher."
Zhang Shanfeng passed through the city gate and saw the 9999-level white jade steps. He immediately said with emotion: "The style, the true style, it is worthy of being the Immortal Family of Zongzitou!"
There is only one winding path up the mountain in Paidi Peak, which is overgrown with weeds, but there are many wild fruits. Before Zhang Shanfeng went down the mountain to travel, he often searched the mountain with a large group of trail boys, and returned with full loads every time.
When he reached the top of the mountain and saw the sixteen groups of dragon walls at his feet, Zhang Shanfeng felt more and more that the Water Dragon Sect was rich and powerful. He felt a little happy when he thought of the immortal style of the Water Dragon Sect and the contribution of his two small summer coins.
Master Huolong asked with a smile: "Do you still feel that a golden nest and a silver nest are still not as good as your own straw nest?"
Zhang Shanfeng nodded and said: "That's not true. After meeting Chen Ping'an, go home!"
Sixteen snow-white dragons soared into the clouds and rode into the mist, crashing into the sea of clouds and heading towards the Dragon Palace Cave.
————
Inside the house on Nangshui Island.
Chen Ping'an began to close his eyes and rest his mind. After thinking for a long time, he took out his pen and ink, spread out the paper, and began to write a reply.
The name Lotus Root Blessed Land is good, so that’s how it should be named.
After the gap is filled, this blessed land will be upgraded to a medium blessed land. Those future sites for the temples of landscape gods and goddesses can continue to secretly survey and select geomantic treasures. However, Luo Luoshan is not in a hurry to sign any contract with the Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom and waits for his return.
Let's talk about Luo Po Mountain. When the time comes, he will go there in person. Before that, no matter how good the conditions the emperor gives, Zhu Lian will hold him back first.
It is a great joy for Wei Bo to break through the realm. On Luolu Mountain, people need to prepare a gift. Chen Ping's gift must be a magical treasure from the mountain. He can temporarily borrow it from Zhenjing Sect Jiang Shangzhen. If Zhu Lian
If you think it's appropriate, you can even agree to allow him to serve as a registered worshiper in Luopo Mountain as a Nascent Soul and under the pseudonym of Zhou Fei. The condition is an extra magic weapon. For the rest of the gifts for juniors like Pei and the others, it doesn't matter if the gifts are light. For example, you can give him
Pei Qian can just copy a festive couplet. Of course, it would be better if Pei Qian himself had more thoughtful ideas.
On Liu Chongrun's side, Zhu Lian can call Lu Baixiang and secretly dig out the water palace and dragon boats together. This is the best result. However, before doing this, he must first say hello to Cui Dongshan and wait for his definite reply. Both parties
Only then can he leave Dali. If Cui Dongshan feels that this matter is not feasible, then he will directly reject Liu Chongrun. Not only that, but also remind her to give up completely on this matter. To put it more seriously, it doesn't matter, since the two parties have become long-term neighbors on the mountain.
There are some harsh words and true words. Whether the other party listens to them is one thing, and whether you say them yourself is another matter.
At this point in writing the letter, Chen Pingan stopped writing for a moment before continuing to write.
If Liu Chongrun insists on taking risks, Luopo Mountain will take back the lease of Cheilyubei, and Luopo Mountain will bear the consequences and compensation for breaking the contract.
Rather than being dragged down by the monks of Zhuchai Island in the future, and being affected by that unreasonable disaster, it is better to put an end to the relationship as soon as possible. If Luo Luoshan wants to operate in the long run and have a steady flow of water, it has to make some choices. Instead of being destined to have greater antagonism in the future, each other will become enemies.
If you are resentful, it is better to cut it off early and complain to Zhuchai Island who wasted a trip. If it is really such a deadlock, you need to make some more secret compensation, such as saying hello to Jiang Shangzhen and Guan Yiran and letting them
He helped take care of Zhuchai Island in Lake Slip Lake, and there was no need to tell Liu Chongrun about this. The two huge favors owed by Luopo Mountain were owed to him first. When Chen Ping'an returned to Aquarius Continent, he would have other plans.
On Dong Shuijing's side, Luopo Mountain will try its best to help whenever it can, regardless of the big issues involved. There is no need to pay attention to profit or loss. However, any help to Dong Shuijing must not compromise the interests of Guan Yiran, the general stationed in Chishuicheng.
The matter requires Zhu Lian to think carefully and be careful about the situation. As for Dong Shuijing's personal relationship with Yuan County Governor and Cao Governor, Luo Lo Shan cannot get involved in the slightest. However, the new governor Wei Li, who was born as the governor of Huang Tingguo, can often communicate with Luo Lo Shan.
It's worth making friends, but you can decide how it will be, Zhu Lian. There is also the new Zhou Chenghuang who came out of the blue. Since the incense boy of the Chenghuang Pavilion has long been familiar with Pei Qian, you can give Pei Qian some advice.
In other words, you can still interact with that incense little man with a normal heart. In addition, the relationship between Luo Luoshan and this Zhou Chenghuang who was born out of the blue is a little bit, but it should be to the point. It should be shallow rather than deep, because the other party can
From a small land to a state city god, the background must be extremely complicated. Today's Luolu Mountain is still seeking stability to avoid being affected by the fights between gods in some Dali temples. Now the center of Dali must be Yunbo
A strange and dangerous scene full of whirlpools.
Fan Er and Sun Jiashu of Old Dragon City asked Zhu Lian to take the trouble to go there in person when he had free time, as a way of thanking Chen Pingan on his behalf. During this period, if Mrs. Gui from Osmanthus Island had not traveled across the continent, Zhu Lian would have
You must also take the initiative to visit, and there is a golden elixir sword cultivator from the Fan family to worship. Mr. Ma Zhi, Zhu Lian can bring a jug of wine to the door, and you can dig out two jars of the Xianjia wine brewed underground near the bamboo house.
Make a pair and give them to the old gentleman.
The Zhenjing Sect enshrines Liu Zhimao's breakthrough into the Yupu realm. There is no need to pay attention to it, let alone send gifts to congratulate him.
The Xu family in Zhengyang Mountain and Qingfeng City continued to secretly collect any relevant information through the hands of others.
In addition, there were more than twenty matters, big and small, that Chen Pingan wrote down in this secret letter one by one. Most of them were just for Zhu Lian to take care of. Chen Pingan was just a reminder and told Zhu Lian
There is such a thing.
Then there are some things that Chen Pingan has already concluded. If Zhu Lian and the others feel that the direction is wrong and need to continue to consider, they can send a letter to Li Liu, because he
Before returning to Aquarius Island, I will definitely go to Lion Peak.
In the end, Chen Ping'an did not write a separate letter to Pei Qian, but at the end of the letter, he asked her to correspond more with her sister Baoping, and to help his master to communicate with Chen Ruchu, Chen Lingjun, and of course Zhou Mili, as well as Qi Qian.
Shi Rou, the shopkeeper of the New Year's Shop in Longxiang, reported one by one that they were safe. She continued to nag Pei Qian and told him not to be naughty in the school. If he temporarily felt that his teaching ability was not good, he should learn from his teachers.
As a person, if you feel that the teachers in the school seem to be human beings, then you should only learn from them the sages' principles in the books.
At the end of this family letter, Chen Ping'an promised Pei Qian. He had already nodded and agreed. Under the strong recommendation of his founding disciple, he would officially promote Zhou Mili, the big water monster of Dumb Lake, as the right protector of Luolu Mountain. He also allowed Pei Qian to personally promote this
The story is told up and down the mountain.
When Chen Pingan wrote this sentence briskly, he didn't even know it. His face was full of smiles and his eyes were warm.
After writing this, Chen Pingan leaned back in his chair, hugged the back of his head, closed his eyes, and thought of the little lotus flower who was said to still avoid showing his face.
I wonder if the vegetation on both sides of the mountain road steps in my hometown will be more lush than in previous years when spring comes and flowers bloom next year.
————
Every time after the Jinlu Dojo, it rains heavily in the Dragon Palace Cave.
Chen Pingan put away the letter, walked out of the house, picked up the oil-paper umbrella, and continued to go out for a walk.
After planning to take a walk, I gave this letter to Li Yuan and sent it to Luo Po Mountain.
Chen Ping'an was walking on the bluestone path adjacent to the mountains and rivers of Fushui Island. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at a place, where he could vaguely see a talisman boat approaching slowly.
He didn't have many acquaintances in the Dragon Palace Cave except Li Yuan and the Queen of Nanxun Water Palace.
The fu boat suddenly flew as fast as a flying sword and landed on the lake, landing safely on the shore.
Chen Pingan took a closer look and rubbed his eyes to confirm that he had seen it correctly.
Hurry up and control the "Jade Green Rain" jade plaque to remove the ban on the landscape of Fushui Island.
Master Huolong has removed the blindfold on the two masters and disciples. Zhang Shanfeng laughed and said: "Chen Pingan!"
Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "Why are you here? I was thinking that after walking around this Jidu, I would go to Paidi Peak to find you."
Zhang Shanfeng strode forward towards Chen Ping'an.
Chen Pingan handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Zhang Shanfeng, then bent down and cupped his fists and said: "Junior Chen Pingan, pay my respects to the old master."
"I'm not old, just call me a real person."
Master Huolong and the young man smiled and nodded. As soon as they landed from the talisman boat, the rain on Fushui Island stopped instantly.
Zhang Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and said happily: "Good sign, good sign!"
Then Zhang Shanfeng gestured at Chen Pingan's height and asked doubtfully: "Chen Pingan, how can he move so fast?"
It turns out that Chen Pingan is now about one punch taller than the young Taoist priest.
In fact, several years have passed since the two parties separated and returned.
Chen Ping'an felt a little embarrassed next. He was alone on Fushui Island, so naturally it didn't matter. If Zhang Shanfeng was the only one, he would be welcome. But with an old man standing in front of him, he was a little embarrassed.
Yes, but it is obviously not suitable. There is also a small black wall in Caique Mansion. Unfortunately, he knows nothing about making tea, and he has no tea set.
Master Huolong looked at the young man and joked: "Walking with a limp, are you in trouble?"
Chen Pingan nodded with a wry smile.
Under the eyes of Mr. Lao Zhen, Zhang Shanfeng gently tapped Chen Pingan with his elbow, and Chen Pingan responded in kind, going back and forth.
Master Huolong turned a blind eye to this and moved forward slowly, while the two young men walked beside him.
The old man asked again: "How come such a good literary courage, which is in line with your great road, is gone? Otherwise, with the help of gold, water and earth, we wouldn't be limping up the mountain like this."
After Zhang Shanfeng heard this, he immediately stopped "saying hello" to Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an replied: "I encountered some things, but I couldn't convince myself of my original intention. Some principles can't just be used to restrain others."
The old man smiled and asked: "I am a little curious, what kind of truth do you say, and you need to pay such a high price?"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, but gave a rough answer, "I can't kill a person who I could kill thousands of times with my own hands when I meet him."
The old man hummed, "When your literary courage is shattered, the moral aura that you finally gathered in your body is shattered. Then what happens next? When will it end?"
Chen Pingan remained silent.
The old man smiled and said: "Have a little drink and think it through. It's not too late to talk."
Chen Ping'an took off the sword-raising gourd, which was now filled with glutinous rice wine from his hometown. He took a sip and handed it to Zhang Shanfeng, who winked to indicate that his master was there.
The old man continued: "You are so selfish, why can't you kill me? In this case, from Pindao's point of view, if you don't break that literary courage, it will break itself."
Chen Pingan took another sip of wine.
The old man smiled and stretched out a hand, "Did you use all your tricks, try your best, and use all your knowledge to get where you are today? For example, use the Buddhist method of subduing the mental ape.
, turn one of your thoughts into a mental ape, turn it into a void and lock it in your heart, treat the damned person as an imaginary horse, and detain him somewhere in the real place? As for how to correct the mistake, it is more complicated, Legalism
The law, the magician's ruler, the Buddhist teachings, and the Taoist fasting are all pieced together with the Confucian rules as much as possible to form a series of real remedial measures, right? I hope that in the future there will always be
One day, you and that person, year after year, you will be able to repay the world by acknowledging your mistakes and correcting them. If you make a mistake, you will make up for a bigger one. As time goes by, one day you will be able to feel at ease.
, right or wrong?”
Chen Ping'an looked gloomy and tightly clenched the sword gourd in his hand.
The old man nodded, then shook his head and sighed: "How difficult it is."
Zhang Shanfeng was so out of breath that he didn't dare to breathe.
The old master smiled and said: "Then have you ever thought about the key point in this situation?"
The old man asked himself and answered: "Should I kill people first and then kill myself, or should I kill myself first and then try to kill others."
Chen Ping'an was stunned and murmured: "Why don't we first look at right and wrong, and then talk about other things?"
The old man sneered and said: "The poor Taoist will ask you again, why can't you kill this person in front of you, in front of your fists and swords?"
Chen Pingan was speechless.
The old man smiled and said: "Because you know that as long as you have the intention to kill, you will kill yourself. Before you kill him, you will be dead. Chen Pingan, is this difficult to understand? You, Chen Pingan, are too smart. You understand the human heart.
Far more than your peers, you have made many choices that are completely in line with your heart. It has nothing to do with some of the principles you admire. Those are the most fundamental thoughts and ideas hidden deep in your heart, Chen Pingan.
Cognition does not require you to turn around in your mind at all, so it seems to be unconscious, but in fact it is real."
Zhang Shanfeng on the side found it particularly difficult to understand.
And also sad.
The young Taoist priest thought that this reunion after a long separation would only bring good things.
There won't be such bad things.
Zhang Shanfeng regretted bringing his master to Fushui Island.
Master Huolong shook his head and said: "In your opinion, Chen Pingan, as long as you kill this person, your entire life, from children to teenagers to later traveling far and wide, will be completely dead."
.All the people you knew and knew you, especially those who are no longer alive, seem to have died together. In the final analysis, is it really not you, Chen Pingan, who is selfish? You are too afraid of death. Not only are you afraid of your own death, but you are even more afraid of it.
Others are mad at you."
Chen Ping'an stood there, the sword gourd in his hand falling gently to the ground.
Master Huolong smiled at Zhang Shanfeng and said, "Let's continue walking and let Chen Pingan think carefully. There is no need to worry."
Zhang Shanfeng was so anxious that smoke was coming out of his throat.
Only when the old master shook his head at him, Zhang Shanfeng tightened his grip on the oil-paper umbrella handed over by Chen Ping'an and continued walking with his master.
After walking far away, Zhang Shanfeng was worried. He turned around and asked softly: "Master, is it really okay to leave Chen Ping'an alone there?"
Master Huolong said calmly: "When did Chen Ping'an cease to be alone?"
Zhang Shanfeng was stunned.
The old man smiled and said: "It's not that Chen Ping'an and you are not sincere, it's not the case. It's just that this kid has been used to this since he was a child."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Bad thing?"
The old man thought for a while, "Being able to go all the way to today is naturally not a bad thing, but a good thing. But if it is still like this after today, then..."
Zhang Shanfeng asked the same question again, "Bad thing?"
Unexpectedly, Master Huolong shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a bigger good thing. It's just a little short of it. He didn't think it through himself. It's a bad thing if he can't break the bottleneck. If you can't investigate this, can't see through it, don't admit it, that's it.
The biggest disaster is the biggest inner demon."
The gate of the heart is the gate of ghosts. Outsiders wander around the gate of ghosts, and there is a thin line between humans and ghosts. Therefore, there are always people in the underworld and ghosts in the world, and it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts.
Ordinary people, it is better to say, are just seeking to live and live better. There is no theorem about whether humans are human or ghosts. But people who practice Taoism have a muddy mind and will make mistakes.
Zhang Shanfeng scratched his head and said, "Master, it's so confusing, I really can't understand it."
The old man smiled and said: "Because you don't need to understand that the difference between people is the difference between a heaven and an earth."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Master, if you say that others are selfish, I can't say anything. But if you say that Chen Ping'an is selfish, I don't think it's right."
The old man shook his head and said: "It's not a derogatory term, so there is no need to defend him."
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly stopped and said, "Master, I'm not leaving. I'm just going to watch Chen Pingan here, otherwise I won't worry."
The old man nodded and said: "Very good."
Zhang Shanfeng complained: "It's so good."
The old man smiled and walked forward alone, just walking around the island.
Moreover, the old man was also curious about what answer the young man finally came up with.
Zhang Shanfeng squatted on the spot. Although it was not raining, he was too idle to do anything, so he held up an umbrella and looked at the mustard seed figure standing by the water in the distance.
Master Huolong continued to move forward, not walking fast.
But Fushui Island is only more than thirty miles away, so Huolong Zhenren still walked near Chen Pingan, and looked at the lake scenery together. There was no rain on Fushui Island, but on other islands in Longgong Cave, it was raining heavily. The night rains intertwined with each other, and the rain fell on the lake.
The rivers and lakes meet each other, making people's vision blurry.
Chen Pingan slowly said: "Old Master, there is something I have never told anyone."
Master Huolong said: "You can speak out and it will be quick."
Chen Ping'an took a deep breath and said, "I have traveled to many places in my life, but I think the biggest test in my life, looking back, is exactly the most stable journey across mountains and rivers. Not in this world.
The mountain-moving ape who almost killed me in my hometown was not the Master Lu of Qing Ming Tian Xia, or even someone who was stabbed in the abdomen by a sword-swallowing boat, let alone the endless conspiracies and killings. The part that made me most uneasy
Lu, accompanying me is one of the people I respect most, his name is A Liang, and he is a swordsman."
Master Huolong said calmly: "A child who looks at a strange world with trepidation has no choice but to speculate on others with the greatest malice. Only later did he discover that his own intentions were so unbearable. The higher this A Liang's swordsmanship, the higher his character."
, the more it encompasses heaven and earth, the more lost and guilty the child will feel in his future life. They are two completely different moods from the child's treatment of Mr. Qi, who he treated as a god from the beginning."
Master Huolong said: "Just keep talking. The poor Taoist will forget it after hearing it. You are generous and ask your conscience while the rain has cleansed the world."
Chen Pingan continued: "It was only later that I learned that marriage in this world can be led by people on the top of the mountain. So I am very afraid of the girl I like. In fact, it is not how much she likes me. I am very afraid of this."
Speaking of this, Chen Ping'an smiled a little, "But after thinking about it, I still think she can't, because she is Ning Yao, and there will only be one Ning Yao and Ning Yao for thousands of years. So there is no such thing as nothing."
Take ten thousand steps back."
Master Huolong laughed, "What else?"
Chen Ping'an said: "I'm afraid that I will be like the little slug and become the kind of person I hated most back then. So I have always been afraid of becoming a mountain man. At the beginning, I saw the sword fairy's style, and I admired him very much and walked away.
After traveling around the world and seeing too much suffering in the world, I became more and more resistant to the so-called feats of flattening mountains with one sword and destroying cities with one punch. But I later figured it out for myself. There is no need to be afraid of this. If I cultivate
If I have the strength to reach the top, and the cultivation of my mind to keep up, I can make those people who only seek pleasure when doing things on the mountain feel happy even if they are not happy at all."
Master Huolong clicked his tongue and said: "This is the first time Pindao, the 'Old Master', has heard this statement, and he is a little bit dissatisfied. It is not bad, not bad."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Thanks to the old man, I had to admit my selfishness in that interrogation situation. Before that, I always deliberately thought about the complexity of the world in a deeper and more confusing way. For myself, I subconsciously felt that literary boldness
Once it is broken, you don’t need to go into it. In fact, this is a kind of avoidance. In fact, as the old man said, selfishness is at work. It is not terrible to have such a strong selfishness. What is terrible is that you act according to this heart without knowing it.
Now that you know it, you don't have to be afraid. Once a thing reaches its worst situation, as long as you still have the energy to lift it up, it will get better no matter how difficult it is."
The old man shook his head and said: "It's not enough."
"I hold grudges very much. There are many people I want to kill but cannot, so I can only endure it. But I am not afraid of waiting. What I am afraid of is that after waiting for a long time, I will find that my rationale has changed and I have no reason to kill. So
I always hope that before new principles appear, they will have the power to kill!"
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and then said: "And I am the most timid person. I was afraid of ghosts when I was a child. After my parents died, it's not that I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore, it's just a different way of escaping. My best friend Liu Xianyang,
I know that when I was an apprentice in the Long Kiln, the thing I was most afraid of was getting sick. In those years when I neither practiced boxing nor practiced spirituality, I actually began to try my best to capture any clues about the small world of the human body.
, Regarding the subtleties of the four seasons and the changing of solar terms, I have long begun to try to connect the heaven and the earth, the human body and the two heavens and the earth, so Liu Xianyang would say at that time that I was born as a poor maid, but I have the thoughts of a rich lady. "
"It's not that I started to be cautious after I left my hometown. In order to reverse the case and avenge my parents, I started disguising myself from a very young age. I wanted to be a sensible and grateful child in the neighborhood and let everyone
People think that I am an existence that will at least not cause them any trouble. I will not steal or rob. I will definitely not become a troublemaker near Mud Bottle Alley or a disaster in the mouth of the old man, because
I knew that once I lost some protection, I was destined to be unable to survive. Even at that time, when I was still young and just sensible, I learned how to please everyone around me. I would often face the problem that I no longer needed to cook medicine.
I stared at the medicine jar in a daze. After looking at it for a long time, I realized that I must learn to control the heat, so I would secretly clean the winter snow in the streets, because I knew that no one would see me if I did it once or several times, but I did it ten times.
Dozens of times, someone will always see me. I will help the elderly carry water, help my peers climb trees and pick off paper kites, help out with weddings and weddings, and help others with their farm work as much as I can.
, I can’t let them think that the kid named Chen Ping’an in Mud Bottle Lane is smart and has already thought of this before doing so many things, but that kid should be really ‘nice’. Before going to the dragon
I have been doing this before I became an apprentice in the kiln. The habit became natural. After I became an apprentice, it is still the same. To this day, when I walk to the Fushui Island in Luzhou, Beiju, I can't help but think about Chen.
Ping An, what kind of person is he? Is he really a good person? I was watching a night trial at a City God's Temple. The City God said that he would not reward good deeds even though he did good deeds, which actually made me feel guilty. Shujian Lake's Water and Land Dojo and Zhoutian Dajiao,
Not long ago, there was also the incident at the Golden Barrel Dojo in Dragon Palace Cave. Li Yuan said that heaven and humans are connected to each other, and ghosts and gods are connected. I heard it, and I actually felt even more guilty."
After Master Huolong patiently listened to the young man's ramblings, he asked: "Chen Ping'an, is there anyone or anything that you feel is just and right?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course. For example, if my parents are good people, I will only like Ning Yao in this life. I must make Mr. Qi see more mountains and rivers. I want to become a swordsman like A Liang! I have met many
There are many truly good people. I don’t want my practice to be just my own business. I hope that in the future I will see every injustice that I dare to be angry but dare not speak out about, so that I can punch and sword without any mistakes. I hope that the truth
It’s just truth. It’s not about using it when it’s useful, and shelving it on the shelf when it’s useless. All the weak in the world can be angry, but the strong are willing to respect others.”
Chen Pingan paused for a moment and said slowly: "I also hope that Chen Pingan, who grew up in Mud Bottle Lane in the world, can be a truly good person without having to calculate so much."
Master Huolong asked: "Then finally, Pindao asks you, have you ever understood your original intention? Who is Chen Ping'an in Mu Ping Alley?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "It seems there is no answer."
The old man smiled and asked: "Then do you still want to think about it? If you keep thinking about it, when will it end?"
Still an old problem.
Going around in circles is like an old man walking around Fushui Island and coming back again.
But don’t underestimate this circle.
Taoism advocates returning to nature.
Seek truth.
Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves and stared blankly into the distance. He was silent for a long time and then smiled and said something that was not an answer but was also an answer.
After listening to this, Master Huolong nodded. He didn't think that this young man was just perfunctory. For a smart man like Chen Pingan, it was too easy to deceive others, but it was difficult to deceive oneself.
Therefore, the old master felt a little sad in his heart, thinking that indeed Mr. Wen Sheng, the disciple of the old man, was as good as himself.
Master Huolong asked: "Do you have any ideas for the third natal object?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Yes."
Master Huolong asked: "Do you need Pindao's help?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Need it."
Master Huolong nodded, "Easy to say."
It was a neat and concise question and answer without any sloppiness.
The old man patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Go and talk about old times with the mountain. I will stay here to enjoy the scenery."
Chen Pingan said goodbye and left.
The old man stood where he was.
Master Huolong sighed slightly.
Reminds me of Chen Pingan’s previous reply.
What a "I've been dealing with me for a long time, I'd rather be me".
