Wang Yun sighed, "I usually know that seeking Taoism is difficult, but I didn't expect that at this age, I would still have the opportunity to enter Taoism."
Yu Xian smiled slightly and said matter-of-factly, "Confucian skills are not bad either. When it comes to governing the world and harmonizing yin and yang, Confucian skills are even better."
Yu Xian's statement is more reasonable.
Now that all schools of thought have been deposed and only Confucianism is respected, Confucianism has been blessed with a unique fortune, and is superior to other methods in terms of both power and speed of practice.
Even some children who have just learned to read can start learning the Analects of Confucius.
The Analects of Confucius cultivates itself with the five virtues. When it is perfected, you can practice the five colors of divine light.
However, this is only a basic way of Confucianism. There is also a quick way to cultivate merit.
That is, when the knowledge of Confucian disciples reaches a certain level, they will be recommended to the court as officials by their mentors or local governors.
Once you are awarded an official position, you will be influenced by the luck of the place.
If you continue to make meritorious deeds or have the virtue of teaching, you will be blessed with great merit and luck.
Many people who cannot bear the hardships of cultivation often start cultivating merits after being awarded an official title. With a certain amount of luck, they can achieve rapid growth.
Of course, the path of spiritual practice is difficult, and more and more people are lost in the wealth and honor of this mortal world, and have lost their own nature.
Wang Yun, like other Confucian disciples, also started by practicing the Five Virtues.
However, his background was very good. He was an official son of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was elected as a county official when he just came of age.
With his official position and Wang Yun focusing on governing the people, he gradually gave up the practice of the five virtues and turned to merit.
It is precisely because he became an official too early and chose the shortcut of cultivating merit before he had fully cultivated the Five Virtues, which made his future journey more and more difficult.
Although he was highly appreciated for his talent and background, he became a high-ranking official along the way.
However, he was promoted too quickly and spent his time getting familiar with the situation and dealing with conflicts. His own cultivation was getting worse and worse.
Later Dong Zhuo promoted him to Situ, which made him feel like he was roasting on the fire and gained the hostility of too many people.
Wang Yun lamented, "Although the Confucian method is good, it is too bound by the world. I used to be too greedy and eager to practice merit, so I paid too much attention to the official position in my hands. In order to keep the official position, in order to climb higher, I spent more money.
As a result, the official position is getting higher and higher, but the time for oneself is getting less and less. Apart from being tired of dealing with official duties, when I have time occasionally, I just want to have fun. There is still time to practice.
"
Yu Xian nodded slightly.
Taoism's avoidance of the world is not unreasonable.
Zhou Ao sighed at the side, "My master and I are in the same situation. We are both involved in this killing field of fame and fortune. How can we care about our own cultivation. Today I saw that Li Ru could actually
I really admire him for emitting the five-color divine light. Although he is a traitor around Dong Zhuo, he can discipline himself and cultivate the five-color divine light, which shows that he is also an amazing person."
Yu Xian smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, who was waiting for me back then, practiced the art of war to such a high level, and was rich and powerful in the world. In the end, didn't he also go to the mountains and convert to my Taoist sect? It can be seen that everything in this world can never go as planned."
Wang Yun looked at Yu Xian gratefully and said, "The most enviable thing about Taoism is probably the method of immortality. Although the method of immortality has no combat power, for a person of my age, it is more precious than anything else."
The three of them were talking while Wang Yun led the way.
Because we take the back door, it is far to the front hall.
I was walking through a garden when I suddenly heard a woman whispering softly nearby.
Yu Xian had already passed the level of "sight and hearing" as a monk. He couldn't help but look at an abandoned garden next to him, "I wonder who lives there?"
Wang Yun was slightly surprised when he heard this, "That is a yard that has been abandoned for a long time. It was tabooed because of some family matters, and no one has lived there for a long time."
After hearing this, Yu Xian was surprised and said, "Strange, why do I hear a faint human voice over there?"
After Wang Yun heard this, he quickly walked towards the abandoned garden with a puzzled look on his face.
As he got closer, he noticed something strange.
Yu Xian, who was behind him, also followed, and the two of them looked into the garden along the half-opened courtyard door.
I saw a graceful and charming girl, upright and elegant, sitting quietly among the wild grass and flowers.
She looked at the bright full moon in the sky, chanted something in her mouth, and bowed deeply.
After a while, he raised his head and bowed down again.
Full moon, deserted garden, random flowers, beauty.
Yu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, Wang Yun also recognized who it was. He opened the courtyard door with a surprised look on his face, "Why is it you?"
The courtyard door had been in disrepair for a long time, and when Wang Yun pushed it, it made a dry squeaking sound.
The beauty suddenly heard this and was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and looked this way with a pale face.
Yu Xian took the opportunity to look at it a few times.
I saw that girl, with pointed cheeks, fair and pretty, and a pair of bright, affectionate eyes. Her bun was half crooked, and strands of hair were scattered down. The whole person looked like the beauty of the country, the beauty of the country, and the beauty of the city.
When Yu Xian saw this woman's appearance, he already had some guesses in his mind.
When the girl saw that it was Wang Yun, she calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly stood up and gave her a respectful blessing, "It turns out he is his foster father."
Wang Yun asked in confusion, "Diao Chan, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early. What are you doing in this abandoned garden?"
Wang Yun asked, looking around, with a look of blame and love on his face, "You are a woman, alone here, what should you do if there is any danger?"
After hearing this, Diao Chan's eyes immediately became gleaming.
"Sir, my adoptive father, these days my daughter sees her adoptive father worrying about state affairs and sighing all day long. I am just a little girl, but I can't help my adoptive father to worry about it. Today I saw that the lights in the front hall have not been extinguished, and I thought that my adoptive father must be there again.
I was sighing for a long time about Thief Dong. I really couldn't bear it, so I could only quietly come to this secluded place alone and pray to the moon, hoping that my adoptive father would realize his wish as soon as possible and revive the Han Dynasty."
Wang Yun was deeply moved by Diao Chan's words, "Great! You are really more considerate than my children."
After Wang Yun finished speaking, he realized that there were others around him and quickly introduced Yu Xian, "Teacher, this is my disciple's adopted daughter, her name is Diao Chan."
Then he said to Diao Chan, "My child, this person is my father's mentor, Taoist Master Yu. From now on, when I worship the Taoist Master, you should follow me and call me Master."
After Diao Chan heard Wang Yun's words, she looked at Yu Xian curiously.
Unexpectedly, a young Taoist like Yu Xian could become Wang Yun's teacher.
However, she still remembered the etiquette, so she didn't dare to look any further. She bowed slightly and said, "I have met my master."
