The Degree of Grace Chapter 5: Chaoge Comes to My Eyes
What is Tao Mind.
In Taoist terms, it is called the heart of enlightenment, in Buddhist terms, it is called Bodhicitta, Confucianism calls it the principle of heaven, and in the terms that Su Mu is familiar with, it should be called the most basic spirit of objective things.
Of course, this is just the official definition.
The level at which each person’s Tao mind has been enlightened is different.
What is Mo Qianyu’s Taoist heart like?
Killing Zha Banshan or making Zha Banshan get the punishment he deserves is her Taoist intention.
The so-called Taoist oath, she could very calmly regard it as nonsense without letting it cause any disturbance in her state of mind.
but.
Even if you understand this, not everyone can do it.
Just like Wen Daoyan was worried about Mo Qianyu, Wen Daoyan also believed that Zha Banshan should face trial.
But he didn't dare to swear by his Taoist heart, because he couldn't look at it calmly like Mo Qianyu. In the future practice, whenever he thought of this, his Taoist heart would have waves, questioning himself, and affecting
Practice.
...
The carriage continued to go south.
Su Mu looked at Mo Qianyu and raised a deep doubt, "If I remember correctly, when His Royal Highness Prince Pinghe decided to submit the memorial to Ruo Shenshan, he wanted us to sign it, but I didn't sign it, right?"
"Yeah," Mo Qianyu seemed not to notice anything strange and nodded calmly.
Seeing that she was so motionless, Su Mu increased his tone and asked: "Then I don't understand, why did they find me so quickly and list me as an assassination target?"
"How do I know?"
Mo Qianyu felt that Su Mu had become a little stupid at this moment and said, "You are traveling with us. If there is still a leading person on the mountain, would it be strange for them to find out?"
"What's more, a Yushitai official appeared on Ruokami Mountain that day, and the person who led the assassination of us was also a Yushitai official. It was probably this person who leaked the news."
Just at this moment.
Wen Daoyan weakly raised his hand.
"What are you doing?" Tan Rusu found that Wen Daoyan's usually calm face now looked a little guilty and cautious.
This kind of appearance almost goes against his own Taoist conscience.
"I have something to say," Wen Daoyan said softly.
"Do you know the inside story?" From Su Mu's point of view, anyone could see the problem with Wen Daoyan's expression.
"It was originally unsigned,"
Wen Daoyan was still trying to calm down his mood, "But later His Highness said that Senior Brother took the greatest credit for this matter and was His Highness's savior, so His Highness wrote Senior Brother's name again."
"Do you know why you didn't stop it?" Su Mu didn't understand.
Unexpectedly, Wen Daoyan immediately sat upright and said, "I know that senior brother is good and doesn't want others to know. Such a noble moral character is admirable, but junior brother thinks that it is impossible for the three of us to bear such a great achievement."
"So, you have good intentions,"
Su Mu struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Then what did you feel guilty about just now?"
Wen Daoyan replied honestly: "Reply to Senior Brother, Your Highness asked me to conceal this matter from you, which is against Taoism."
"You are really my honest and trustworthy good junior brother."
...
During the next few days in Kyoto, no more accidents happened.
The road in Gyeonggi Province has become smoother. After entering the Chaoge area, the official road has been paved with excellent bluestone bricks. The craftsman's paving technology is also excellent, and even the cracks in the bricks are difficult to see.
There are evergreen spiritual trees planted at regular intervals on both sides of the road, washing the spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth all the time. Even mortals walking on such an official road will feel relaxed and happy.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there is always an endless stream of pedestrians on Chaoge Avenue.
Mingge River, the water is so clear that it seems to be able to wash people's hearts clean.
When we come to this river, it means that we are only about ten miles away from Chaoge. The willow branches on both sides of the river bank are slender, and there is a very beautiful spiritual bird called a singing bird parked on it all year round.
Not only because the song of this bird is like the sound of nature, but more importantly, the sound of the singing bird will float all the way from here into the Chaoge and directly to the sky.
"It is said that when the Zhou Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizong was away on war, and someone outside Chaoge City wanted to cooperate with the outside world, usurp the throne and kill the prince."
Wen Daoyan has been in Kyoto for some time, but when he came here, he still felt that the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait was picturesque.
He told the little monkey: "In the end, it was because of the song bird's message that the group's plan failed."
"Don't the rebels know about songbirds?" The little monkey listened carefully, like a student.
Wen Daoyan said softly: "Before Emperor Taizong, there were no such birds as songbirds. Rumor has it that songbirds were fed by Emperor Taizong by cutting his own flesh. The 'ge' in their name is the 'ge' of Chaoge. Emperor Taizong
We feed them out to protect Chaoge City."
"Oh~" the little monkey nodded frequently, listening with great interest.
"The snow-white bridge in front is called Sanyu Bridge. It spans both sides of the river and is exactly thirty-three feet long."
Wen Daoyan introduced with great interest: "Sanyu Bridge was built by Mo Sheng, the Dayang Talisman master who was responsible for building Chaoge City. The meaning of this bridge is connected to the sky, downward to the earth, and middle to people. Practitioners
Standing on it, the true energy will flow out uncontrollably, accompanied by a feeling of dizziness."
"Only those with strong Taoist foundation and true energy can avoid it. Therefore, many people in Chaoge choose this place for competitions. Many famous competitions between strong men have taken place here."
"Really? What are they?" the little monkey asked.
At this moment.
The prince's car that was walking in front suddenly stopped.
Immediately, the prince opened the car window and looked back, "Mr. Su Mu, you have sent Zhao Zhenren here to take care of you."
Zhenren Zhao refers to Zhao Zhitang, the direct disciple of the head of Shushan.
Zhao Zhitang has not entered the cave realm. Calling him this way is not only recognition of Zhao Zhitang's strength, but also respect for Shushan.
As a direct descendant of the head of the Holy Land, even if the prime minister of the dynasty sees him, he will be courteous.
As early as when he set off from Pinghe, Mo Qianyu had already sent a letter to Zhao Zhitang.
To be precise, Zhao Zhitang never lost contact with them along the way.
Zhao Zhitang now knows everything about what happened on the sacred mountain.
It's just that he never said that he would go out of the city to meet them, which surprised Mo Qianyu.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
At the bridgehead, a young man wearing a green shirt had a faint ripple on his eyebrows. He bowed and saluted, but his consciousness had already fallen back on Su Mu.
Chang Chun came with him and followed closely behind him to bow.
"Zhenzhen Zhao, please get up quickly,"
The prince helped him weakly, glanced back with his peripheral vision, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhao Zhitang: "Master Zhao, can I ask you something?"
"It's an honor for me to serve His Highness," Zhao Zhitang said politely, communicating directly through the message.
The prince said: "Zhenzhen Zhao, can you let me enter the palace with you?"
Zhao Zhitang raised his head, looked at the prince expressionlessly and said, "It's okay not to accept this honor."
