Chapter 426 Luo Zhenren's doubts, on the basic principles of time travel
When Luo Zhenren was staring down the mountain, Qiao Daoqing was also looking up halfway up the mountain. He couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
It is said that Qiao Daoqing has an arrogant and conceited temperament. He also knows that Huang Lao's skills are quite insightful, and his wish to practice Taoism is very sincere. However, when Qiao Daoqing traveled thousands of miles to invest in the famous Luo Zhenren of Fang Jin Dao Sect, he was rejected.
Being turned away from the door, such a setback made him remember it hard.
But even though Qiao Daoqing was resentful, he still had a sense of awe for Taoist masters like Zhenren Luo. He looked at the group of Taoists halfway up the mountain for a moment, then bowed his head in the direction of Zhenren Luo, and then met Ma Ma again.
Lingxun Wang Bolong's remnant soldiers fought bravely and joined forces with Xiao Tang.
Seeing Qiao Daoqing's reaction, Ma Ling couldn't help but feel puzzled. He said: "That Taoist priest on the mountain is Zhenren Luo from Erxian Mountain? Brother Qiao, I know your temperament very well. In the past, you were also a hero who could not be convinced by others.
Mr. Naluo obviously rejected you, but you treated him with such courtesy."
Qiao Daoqing laughed strangely twice and said: "It's easier to understand the true way. Brother Ma Ling, it's certainly fun and happy for us to enjoy our grudges in the world of martial arts! But we can't survive this life of fighting and killing."
Ma Ling was startled after hearing this, and said quickly: "Brother Qiao, listening to your tone, are you thinking of retreating to the mountains and forests, and retreating from the world?"
"Not yet..." Qiao Daoqing took a long breath and said thoughtfully: "People outside the country seek the way of heaven and are not fettered by the trivial things in the world. Zhenren Luo
He refused to accept me as a disciple. Although I told my brothers that I was unwilling to accept it, in my heart I probably understood why he was like this... All methods of cultivating the Tao are in the heart. You must practice meditation and accumulate merit to nourish your mind and Qi.
, cultivate one’s nature. I haven’t let go of the attachments and delusions in my heart, so how can I cultivate my mind and realize the Tao without any distractions?
The Taoist cultivator does nothing, but it turns out that the great things Xiao Renxia is planning are very suitable to my heart. I, Qiao Daoqing, still want to follow him and do great things! Damn it, who is not a mortal body born from the mother's womb? Which one?
Can I easily give up my ambition? Now that I am still an ordinary person, there are still too many things waiting for me to do in this mortal world... I am just thinking that when I have enough time in the world of mortals,
When you are done, and your heart is open, can you surrender to the disciples of Zhen Luo again, and learn the Tao from your teacher for the rest of your life?"
After hearing Qiao Daoqing's heartfelt words, Ma Ling's expression gradually became complicated. He turned his head and looked at the famous Erxian Mountain where white cranes were listening to the scriptures and immortals were discussing Taoism. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel as though there were
Thoughts......
At this time, Wang Bolong led the remnants of the cavalry army and had already fled to the west. In the brutal killing fields at the foot of Erxian Mountain, only five to six hundred infantry remnants of the Liao Kingdom's Nanjing bandits remained.
An, Yang Zhi, the Yan brothers and other horse generals led their troops to pursue Wang Bolong's defeated army. However, the infantry leaders such as Lu Zhishen were not moving fast, so they were still nearby to eliminate the few remnants of the bandits who were stubbornly resisting.
Xiao Tang also ordered his leaders to clean up the battlefield and tie up all the Liao thieves who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered. At the same time, Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling also rode in front of him.
"Xiao Renxia, the commotion of this fighting was quite loud! It actually alarmed Master Luo from Zixu Temple in Erxian Mountain and came out to find out what was going on." Qiao Daoqing pouted in the direction of Erxian Mountain and said to Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang's expression changed, and he looked towards Erxian Mountain. Halfway up the mountain, he could faintly see several Taoists standing and watching down the mountain.
In the original work, Luo Zhenren, who had profound Taoist practices and was praised as a living god in the world, did not have the fantasy magic to call the gods and predict the future. When Xiao Tang heard Qiao Daoqing talk about him, Xiao Tang also knew that Luo Zhenren was a rare Taoist master in the world today.
Moreover, Xiao Tang was also very curious about what kind of magical powers this Taoist master who finally recruited Yunlong, Huanmojun, Shenjuzi, Hunshimowang and other strange people would have, so he, Qiao Daoqing, Ma Ling and others rode horses to Er
At the foot of Fairy Mountain.
Xiao Tang turned over and dismounted, took off his Xie Zhi mask, bowed to Zhenren Luo halfway up the mountain, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, bowed respectfully in a round salute, and said loudly: "Juniors, all
Yu, I have heard for a long time that Zhenren Luo was a great scholar in the prosperous age, and I have admired him for a long time! Today I went to the fairyland, and I was destined to pay homage to it. But there are bandits in Pingzhou who came here to cause trouble, causing my sworn brother, and forcing the younger generation to fight with him at Erxian Mountain.
The fire broke out, but it alarmed Luo Zhenren and Xianjia, and he lost his mind for a while. I hope I can forgive you!"
This strongman leader was extremely polite... Just as Luo Zhenren had this thought, his mind suddenly moved for no apparent reason. Luo Zhenren immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to take a closer look at the strongman leader at the foot of the mountain.
At that time, Luo Zhenren studied under Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan and practiced Taoist inner alchemy. He used the method of transformation of all things to cultivate his own essence, energy and spirit.
Chen, astronomy, the art of good and bad luck, life and death, etc. were also deeply involved. At this time, when Luo Zhenfu saw Xiao Tang, he suddenly felt an indescribable and mysterious feeling in his heart.
In the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082), the master Zhang Boduan left the mantra and verses of "Ode to the Execution of a Corpse" and died in a sitting posture. As an introductory disciple, Luo Zhenren burned the master's body with fire, and he could see that his body was all blue.
Relics. Zhenren Luo has been cultivating his mind and enlightenment throughout his life. He naturally believes deeply in Taoist myths such as dismantling the corpses of masters who have attained the Tao, and becoming immortals instantly. However, after all, Zhenren Luo is not an immortal who has jumped out of the cycle of life and death and attained enlightenment.
, where is the soul of his master Zhang Boduan now after he "achieved Taoism and ascended to immortality"? Why does this strongman leader with unknown origins in front of him make him uneasy? Zhenren Luo cannot understand the truth of these things, he
Although he had some observations, he still couldn't figure out why Xiao Tang made him suddenly feel uneasy.
Master Luo couldn't figure these things out, and even Xiao Tang himself couldn't explain them. Since coming to this world by accident, Xiao Tang has accepted his current identity, but why did he come to this world?
world?
Was it because his soul left his body and wandered in the reverse flow of time and space that he came to the Song Dynasty that seemed to be more than 900 years ago? Or was it because his soul disturbed the time dimension under extremely coincidental circumstances?
He happened to be a slut, and happened to enter the body of that dandy young man from Xiaojiaji back then?... Only the devil will know.
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. Who can tell clearly whether the butterfly transformed into Zhuang Zhou or whether Zhuang Zhou transformed into a butterfly? Is the seemingly real world in front of him just an illusory dream? Now Xiao Tang just wants to grasp the current life.
, to realize his ambition, but he doesn't know that now he has caused ripples in the heart of the Taoist master in front of him, and is full of doubts...
"The one who is above the gods is the cloud chariot and the feather cover, both the body and the spirit are flying; secondly, the female valley and the secluded forest, the hidden scene is hidden..."
At this time, Luo Zhen was murmuring in his mouth, and he became more and more curious about Xiao Tang. He thought about it for a while, and then said loudly: "A layman does not need to be polite. A poor Taoist is just a mountain villager who calls himself Fang.
Foreigners are also outsiders. Although people who practice Taoism and become monks do not pay attention to secular affairs, they are also repaying kindness. The outside thieves and bandits killed my Taoist temple disciples. It is all because of the lay people's carefulness and driving away the thieves and bandits. And they were treated politely by the lay people. I am willing to be a poor Taoist.
Please come to me and have a look. I don’t know what your intentions are.”
