Although this sentence is simple, it has a clear meaning and involves the understanding of the great road.
Even though Cheng Xu couldn't think of much for a while, the predecessors had already stated many things about this matter.
Immediately he said, "Report to the Taoist Master, in the past and present it was called the universe, and the four directions above and below were called the universe. And the Great Way, before the ancient times, was beyond the four directions. What the Patriarch said was that the Great Way was the beginning of the heaven and the earth."
This answer is quite satisfactory.
Immediately, others are provoked and ready to take action.
A young man named Han Xianzuo stood up and said loudly, "Disciples have different opinions."
Zhi Tou offered wine and said with a smile, "This is also your destiny, even if you say it."
Han Xianzuo was greatly encouraged and immediately said, "Everything in this world comes from the Great Dao. Why?"
Han Xianzuo looked around with great energy, "The two words cover it, and there is a law. It is precisely because of the law that this Hongmeng Chaos has one, and with one, there are two, and even all things in the world. And Tao is the law that creates everything."
"
After hearing this answer, Yu Xian's face changed color slightly.
Han Xianzuo can be said to be quite enlightened.
In the era of his previous life, his vitality was severely weakened, so the monks could only focus on understanding the Tao itself.
The theories of people at that time were almost the same as what Han Xianzuo said.
Yu Xian was a little unsure about how this Jitou Dajiu understood the Great Dao, but Han Xian's explanation was very attractive.
After hearing what Han Xianzuo said, the other Taoist boys couldn't help but fall into thinking. Cheng Xu even looked at him with some resentment.
Even he felt that what Han Xianzuo said was very promising.
Unexpectedly, Zhitou Dajiu actually shook his head with regret and said, "Go down, what you said is wrong."
Huh?
Many Taoist boys looked at Han Xianzuo in surprise.
Han Xianzuo's eyes widened, with undisguised disappointment on his face. If he couldn't get through the immortal fate, his three years of hard work would have been in vain!
Yu Xian's eyes lit up.
He chuckled softly and said, "Interesting. This Taoist priest is even smarter than I thought!"
Qiu Ning was listening to Yu Xian's muttering, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "Yu Xian, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing." Yu Xian quickly laughed and changed the subject, "By the way, why don't you try it?"
Qiu Ning hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to explain, "Dian Xian Yuan seems to be just a few questions about treating the head and offering wine, but in fact, this itself contains an opportunity, that is, do you want to participate."
"Once upon a time, there was only one question asked in the Zhitou Grand Ceremony, and it was very simple. Many Taoist candidates were heartbroken and gave up. As a result, all the Taoist answers were not in line with the wishes of the Zhitou Grand Ceremony. And the remaining ones were left behind.
Through the competition, many people who originally had no hope can take the opportunity to officially enter the Heming Palace and become disciples of the Heming Palace. Therefore, since the immortal fate is a chance, no one can tell where it is."
Yu Xian glanced at Qiu Ning with admiration, "You know so much, and your backstage is very tough."
Depend on!
Qiu Ning was startled by Yu Xian and quickly shook her head.
While he was talking, several Taoist boys were already rushing to answer.
Zhitou Dajijiu pointed out that Han Xianzuo was wrong on the spot, but did not comment on Cheng Xu's answer. Obviously Cheng Xu's thinking was more in line with Zhitou Dajijiu's thoughts.
So the Taoist boys rushed to use Cheng Xu's words to express their thoughts.
After hearing this, some of them refused to comment, while others bluntly rejected it.
And the further the Taoist answered, the more confused he became.
Because there is almost no pattern in the answers rejected by Jitou Dajijiu, and some similar opinions are likely to be treated differently.
But the more Yu Xian looked at it, the more interesting it became.
He carefully summarized everyone's answers just now, and felt more and more that he coincided with the answer in Zhitou Dajijiu's heart.
At this time, there was a small blank period in the field.
Zhitou Dajijiu glanced around and said gently, "Is there anyone else who wants to answer?"
Yu Xian knew that this was his last chance, so how could he remain reserved?
He immediately stood up and said loudly, "Taoist Master, this disciple also has some insights."
Zhitou Dajiujiu nodded gently, "You can just say it."
Amid the questioning looks of many Taoist boys, Yu Xian strode forward and walked all the way to the Zhitou Grand Sacrifice Wine.
Then he pointed at the thirteen characters curling up in white smoke in the air and said loudly, "Tao."
Everyone was surprised when Yu Xian continued to point to another word, "One."
Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others were all stunned, wondering what Yu Xian was trying to do.
Yu Xian moved from right to left, then pointed to the next word, "二."
Then he continued to point backward, "Three." "Ten thousand."
Yu Xian's finger paused for a moment on "Wan", then with a wide wave, he crossed all the characters in the middle and pointed back to the first "Dao".
Then, he bowed slightly and said to Zhitou Dajiu, "My disciple's understanding is that the more we explain the 'Tao' and the more we try to explain it and clarify it, the further away we are from the 'Tao'. Therefore, the Tao can be
Tao, the very Tao. Nameless, the beginning of all things."
The Taoist boys were still confused after hearing this, but the Taoist priest next to him was shocked and praised, "Although this statement is in a clever way, it is quite true."
All the Taoist boys heard this from the Taoist priest who was teaching them. Their hearts tightened and they hurried to see the reaction of Jitou Jijiu.
Even Yu Xian was a little upset.
The matter of the great road is so mysterious that no one dares to say whether what they think is more appropriate.
With everyone holding their breath and concentrating, the Zhitou Grand Sacrifice Wine finally had a different reaction than before.
It is neither non-committal nor categorical in its criticism.
Instead, he looked at Yu Xian with slight surprise and asked, "What's your name?"
Yu Xian was overjoyed, knowing that he had won the answer to the question of offering wine for the first time, so he quickly said, "Report to the Taoist Priest, the disciple's name is Yu Xian."
After hearing this question and answer, there was a sigh of relief in the audience.
Anyone with a bit of discernment could see that Yu Xian's answer clearly surpassed everyone else's and made him want to drink wine.
Everyone else has been eliminated.
Cheng Xu and others were both envious and jealous, and they all reassured each other, "Don't panic, this is the first question, there are two more to come. With his qualifications, I don't believe he can get it right again and again!"
"That's right, it was like this in the past. The questions will become more and more difficult. I heard that this last question is a fatal question that we cannot answer correctly based on our ability!"
Han Xianzuo was the most unhappy, "Humph! What kind of family background does he have? I don't believe it. With his qualifications and talents, he can still pass the last hurdle!"
Qiu Ning was obviously a little worried as well, looking worriedly.
After hearing what everyone said, Yu Xian quietly asked Qiu Ning, "Will the last question be difficult?"
Qiu Ning didn't hide it either, "In the past, unless there was only one question for the Jitou Dajiu Festival, no one could pass the last question."
Yu Xian frowned, rolled his eyes, and asked another question, "Are there many people who failed at the last question?"
Qiu Ning wondered, didn't he answer it just now?
So he answered honestly, "Of course there are many!"
After hearing this, Yu Xian curled up his lips and smiled, "If I hadn't read Journey to the West, I would be really scared!"
Qiu Ning was immediately dumbfounded.
What the hell is Journey to the West?
Yu Xian confidently said to Zhitou's grand sacrificial wine, "Taoist Master, my disciple is ready, feel free to ask questions."
"Oh?" Zhitou Dajiu smiled slightly.
Then Niansu pondered for a while and asked Yu Xian, "Tell me, why do you want to practice Taoism?"
As soon as this topic came up, Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others all beat their chests and feet.
This second question is really too simple, and this kind of question is very inclusive. You can easily pass it even if you just say "one heart to the Tao".
Cheng Xu and Han Xianzuo could only comfort themselves, "It's okay, there is one last question! I don't believe this guy can really pass it!"
When Yu Xian heard the question about the ritual wine sacrifice, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Every detail of my previous life flashed across my mind again at this moment.
Recalling the earnest teachings given to him by the old Taoist priest in his previous life, Yu Xian replied in a deep voice to Zhi Tou offering a large sacrificial wine, "Taoist Master, it's just curiosity."
"Curious?" This answer obviously surprised Zhitou Dajijiu.
Yu Xian nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, I am curious."
Then Master's teachings came out naturally, sentence by sentence.
"Why are there so many Taoists and Qigong masters in the world who are pursuing the Tao, pursuing the truth, and pursuing all the incredible things? Could it be because of curiosity."
"Curious about the structure of all things, the growth of all things, the deepest mysteries of all things, and the powerful forces that drive these changes."
"They notice this, listen to this, and eventually get a little bit of enlightenment."
"It will never be the same again."
"The purpose of disciples' practice is to make three from all things, from three to two, from two to one, and from one to combine with the Tao."
After hearing Yu Xian's answer, Zhitou Dajiujiu was very satisfied and couldn't help but nod his head in praise.
"It makes sense."
Afterwards, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Now that the matter is over, I have one more question. Qing Qingzi asked me the day before yesterday that she had beheaded a deer in her dream, and then went to the back mountain to look for it, and she found the deer carcass.
But there were no wounds at all on the deer corpse where the sword was. She was a little confused, not knowing whether she had this dream because of the deer's death, or whether it was because of this dream that the deer died unexpectedly."
Yu Xian's eyelids jumped upon hearing this.
A must-choose question!
Obviously the answer is neither of these two!
Moreover, even Qing Qingzi, who was offering wine to Zhi Tou, was puzzled by the question, which ordinary disciples could not guess!
Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others were all smiling. With their backgrounds, they might still be able to give it a try, but Yu Xian had absolutely no hope.
Each of these young men looked at Yu Xian with amusement, waiting to see his expression when his wish failed.
However, unlike what everyone imagined, Yu Xian not only did not have the slightest trace of panic on his face, but instead looked confident.
Because, he has completely guessed the rules of the game of Immortal Fate!
Qiu Ning's words made him wary from the beginning.
Since even whether or not to participate is part of the test of immortality, it can be seen how important the grasp of opportunities is to this competition!
So what is the opportunity of Xianjia?
When Sun Wukong went to seek enlightenment from Patriarch Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi used opportunities to test him before teaching him the Dao.
First, he hit the monkey's head three times with a ruler, then walked away with his hands behind his back, closing the middle door.
The Monkey King understood the mystery in the plate, and at the third watch, he entered through the back door, found Patriarch Bodhi's bed, and learned the true Dharma.
If, as Cheng Xu and others said, the last question of Dian Xian Yuan is a dead question, then it is obvious that the battle of Dian Xian Yuan has come to an end.
And the way out is not always at the end...
After repeatedly confirming the matter with Qiu Ning, Yu Xian finally decided what he should say at this time.
Yu Xian bowed respectfully, "Taoist Priest, I have already answered your three questions. Can I not answer this question?"
"What?"
Yu Xian's words were like thunder, leaving Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others stunned.
Then they all looked towards the Zhitou Grand Sacrificial Wine.
The expression on Zhitou Dajiujiu's face did not change at all. He just asked with half doubt, "Oh?"
Seeing Zhitou Dajiu's performance, Yu Xian felt even more confident, and immediately said loudly, "The first question of Dajiu is about what is Tao; the second question is about my name, and the third question is
The Tao question is about why I practice Taoism. I have answered all three questions, so I have successfully entered the Heming Taoist Palace. As for what you are talking about, my disciple does not know and cannot guess it."
Depend on!
After hearing what Yu Xian said, everyone was a little confused.
If the Taoist priest asks for your name, does that count?
Are you blackmailing someone?
Everyone was worried and unwilling to look at Zhi Tou offering wine.
Zhitou Dajijiu looked at Yu Xian with satisfaction and smiled slightly, "You have some understanding. In my Taoist family, we are peaceful and don't dare to be the first for the world. How can we do everything and leave no room for anything? If you can pass my test, it is you.
The fairy fate."
These words of "Zhitou Dajiu" are the final word, and it is completely confirmed that Yu Xian has achieved some immortal fate!
Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others were envious, jealous, and regretful.
No wonder even ordinary people can participate in this "point of immortality". Whether they can pass the level is really just a test of chance!
In one line, "all things" are the farthest from "Tao". This is something that ordinary children can see.
As for your name and why you practice Taoism, it is a must-answer question.
Yu Xian looked at him with a smile when he saw Zhitou offering wine. How could he not have that little bit of cleverness, and he immediately stepped forward to become his disciple.
This Zhitou Dajiujiu has the same temperament and temperament as me, and he is a good mentor and friend with whom I can learn and study.
However, Zhitou, who was offering the wine, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't panic. Heming Palace has its own rules. I will give you a token. When the competition is over, you can go to the back mountain with the selected disciple."
After finishing speaking, Zhitou Dajiu was a little hesitant. Apparently, he had never thought that anyone would pass his test in terms of understanding and character.
He thought for a moment, took out a medium-sized tube of bamboo slips from his sleeve and threw it over.
"I, Heming Taoist Palace, have many cultivation methods, including water talisman, alchemy, soul summoning, exorcism, five elements, and yin and yang attributes. What I practice as a teacher is the wood attribute method among the five elements. I have been practicing it for many years, and I have developed a long mouth.
angry."
"These bamboo slips contain some of my Chongxuanzi's experience in practicing Taoism, as well as the introductory techniques. They are no longer useful to me. Although you have just started and you don't understand it yet, you can still pick up some knowledge to understand it early and temper your mind."
Yu Xian took it and was overjoyed.
Now he has officially embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation.
I don’t know how much effort I can save myself with these tips on treating my head with a large ritual of wine.
Yu Xian thanked him repeatedly.
Chong Xuanzi smiled faintly and said to the Taoist Jijiu Taoist, "I want to report the matter here to the leader. You can preside over the rest of the competition."
The Taoist priest congratulated him and said, "Taoist brother's legacy is passed on, so it is naturally a big event."
Chong Xuanzi was polite and then walked away.
But Yu Xian was surrounded by shouts of "hoo!", and everyone was envious.
Those young people who are waiting for the assessment, even if they enter the door, must start as a handyman. Then, after accumulating meritorious service, they will have the opportunity to receive continued guidance from the Jijiu Taoist.
However, Yu Xian rose to the top in one step and was adopted by Zhitou Dajiujiu as his successor. This was a great opportunity.
Cheng Xu, Han Xianzuo and others gave up completely, and one by one they blended into the crowd of spectators in despair.
Yu Xian ignored everyone's compliments and couldn't wait to read the bamboo slips given by Chongxuanzi.
Unexpectedly, after just reading the beginning, Yu Xian couldn't help but exclaimed, "Fuck!"
