Chapter 42: That spring, in the old library, a real person attained enlightenment!
There is nothing new in the world.
The son of light who traveled from Taoshan to Chang'an made many stops along the way and earned a great reputation.
The Taoist idiot in red clothes and red shoes headed towards Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The reputation of Taiping Dao Chen Xuan is getting bigger and bigger in the world.
First, Master Yan Se from the South Gate of Haotian Dao promoted it, and then the Xiling Temple made Chen Xuan famous with ulterior motives.
In the first seven subjects of the academy's admission examination, another legend in the old library.
Chen Xuan is famous in the world. Chen Xuan of Taiping Road is famous in the world.
All it takes is a worthy debate for Taiping Dao Chen Xuan to achieve his current reputation.
Many practitioners who felt that they were not inferior to Chen Xuan also came to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to follow Chen Xuan and reach another peak in life.
But Chen Xuan was still staying in the old library. In ten months, Chen Xuan read nearly three thousand volumes.
In this huge old library, Chen Xuan would only pause for a moment except when Qing He came to deliver food.
Chen Xuan, whose Yuan Shen appeared and his consciousness retreated, was reading books almost all the time.
In the academy, the bronze bells are melodious and profound.
The teachers in the old library stepped forward and carried out the students who were competing with Chen Xuan on stretchers.
Since Chen Xuan stayed in the old library for ten months, the number of students who were carried out of the old library was almost five times as many as usual.
Especially the student named Ning Que, who had to make himself unconscious every time.
In addition, Ning Que did not have accommodation and lived in Chang'an City, which greatly increased the difficulty of teaching in the academy.
Chen Xuan, who has not left the old library for ten months, is still as clean as when he first entered the old library.
It’s just that the beard on my chin has grown quite a bit, but it doesn’t hinder reading!
On the side of the bookshelf at the end of the third floor of the old library, Chen Xuan closed the book and said sadly: "After looking at the three thousand cultivation methods in the old library, I have come close."
"If you are close to the path, you know the root of its operation. However, if you often recite the Qing Jing Sutra, you will find out its roots as soon as you sutra."
"I have practiced three thousand volumes in the old library, but I still can't escape one god!"
"The Xiling Kingdom has a god named 'Haotian', but is there no god in the Tang Kingdom?"
"Haotian is in the sky, but who is on the earth?"
On the third floor of the old building of the academy, there are three thousand volumes of worldly spiritual schools and spiritual methods.
But among these three thousand volumes, most of them tell people that they should improve their cultivation in order to improve their cultivation.
Just like seeking the Tao, I do not seek the Tao for supernatural powers, but the supernatural powers come to me.
If you seek supernatural power for the sake of supernatural power, and seek killing for the sake of killing, you are abandoning the basic and chasing the weak.
"Alas!"
"Sigh, this place has lost its morality and morals, and God is used to restrain the world."
"Today, I see my true self, and I am a real person."
What he seeks is the Tao, and what he cultivates is the direct transmission of the eight authentic Taoist views. In terms of realm, he is probably in the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
The innate Qi intersects with the true nature, gathers to form, disperses to form Qi, travels thousands of miles and breaks flowers, and returns to itself with flowers.
The Yang Shen who has been reborn through refining is my Yuan Shen. He can enter the blue sky from above and enter the netherworld from below. It is the foundation of protecting the body through the laws of heaven and earth.
"Boom, boom!"
A few thunders were heard, and all the academy students inside and outside the old library shivered.
When thunder breaks out on a sunny day, who can trigger it?
There were one or two sounds of thunder at first, and then it came rolling in, like the tide of a river, surging forward.
But the sky is still clear and cloudless, which is really puzzling.
Chen Xuan closed the "Yellow Turban Collection", put it back to its original position, and walked downstairs to the old book.
By the window on the third floor of the old library.
A little fat man with a naive appearance listened to the thunder in his ears and asked: "Third Senior Sister, this thunder comes strangely."
"I heard that on the day when Taiping Dao Chen Xuan and Master Yan Se were having a drink and talking about Taoism, they also had this thunderous reaction."
"Pippi guessed that this thunder was probably caused by Chen Xuan of Taiping Dao."
The sound of thunder rolled in, and it went away as quickly as it came, but Chen Xuan of Taiping Road still left Chen Pipi quite shocked.
Yu Lian raised her head, glanced at Chen Xuan, and then cast her gaze on Chen Pippi. She smiled and said, "Pippi, don't you think you're guessing too much?"
"Go and copy the book 'On Haoran's Sword Qi' thirty times, remember to use small regular script with hairpin flowers."
Chen Pipi looked bitter and quickly begged for mercy: "Third Senior Sister, that book 'On Haoran Sword Qi' has a total of 170,000 words."
"You have to use small regular script to copy, and Pippi's hands have to be useless for copying. Who will cook for the teacher then!"
Yu Lian looked sideways at Chen Pippi and said calmly: "Then add another twenty times. What do you think, Pippi?"
Chen Pippi crossed his arms and saluted: "Third Senior Sister, Pippi is wrong, go and copy it now!"
The little fat man walked towards the other desk dejectedly, preparing to copy the book "On Haoran's Sword Qi" with a lot of words.
These seniors always like to write some comments on the exercises, which are stinky and long.
Yu Lian stood up and stopped Chen Xuan, who was about to go downstairs, and asked: "Ten months ago, I was a little behind in discussing etiquette with fellow Taoist Chen."
"I have a question today, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist Chen to clarify it!"
The student who was reading for a while also put down the book in his hand and watched from a distance.
This extremely good-looking and beloved tutor actually asked Chen Xuan to answer his questions, which is really surprising.
Chen Xuan stopped about to go downstairs and asked: "I don't know what to teach, so what are your doubts? I, a student who has just entered the academy, need to answer your questions."
The twenty-three-year-old cicada probably has only one doubt, or it should not be called doubt, but rather obsession.
The doubts of the last demon sect leader, now teaching in the academy, and the obsession of the master’s personal disciple Yu Liang.
Yu Liang waved his sleeves lightly, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered, blocking the spread of the conversation between the two. How to solve her doubts should not be known to others.
Yu Lian said calmly: "In the past, the Great Priest of Guangming of Xiling Temple preached in the wilderness."
"He founded the Ming sect in the wilderness, and later the Xiling Temple slandered him as the Demon sect."
"Huangren said that the Demon Sect was the Ming Sect, and Xiling said that the Ming Sect was the Demon Sect?"
"I dare to ask whether it is Mozong's fault, Xiling's fault, or both?"
Chen Xuan heard this and said, "Mr. Third, how can we be right or wrong?"
Yu Lian said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, how come there is no right or wrong?"
Chen Xuan said again: "Mr. Third, there is no right or wrong at all?"
Yu Lian said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, what should be right and wrong?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said: "Third sir, right and wrong come from cognition, so life is indistinct. If we judge it in terms of right and wrong, it will only lead to troubles along the way."
"A person seeks the Tao. Although he goes astray and fails to achieve the right path, he still firmly believes. I dare to ask Mr. San, is this person wrong?"
"As far as this person is concerned, there is nothing wrong."
"There may be mistakes in the eyes of others, but my heart and actions are like a clear mirror, so there is no right or wrong."
Chen Xuan walked slowly downstairs.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in Yu Lian's eyes, and he said: "There is no right or wrong at all? How can it be that there is no right or wrong at all?"
