Daozuo meet, literally means meeting on the roadside. But the profoundness of the words adds an inexplicable meaning to Daozuo.
"Zengyun" left and right positioning. Left and right are opposites. Humanity respects the right and respects the right.
"Rites·Kingdom" states that men go from the right and women go from the left. "Records of Emperor Wen" states that the left is Xian and the right is Qi. "Note" Wei Zhao said: The right is still high, and the left is still low.
According to the ancient law, the rank in the imperial court is based on the right, so it is said that to be demoted is to move to the left. To assist the princes is to be a left official.
What I mean by saying this is to give a definition to Zuo. By extension, it gives Zuo many meanings that the literal meaning does not have, such as, slightly worse, unimportant, omitted, inferior, etc.
In the world of cultivation, there are left-wing and side-sects, which also means the same thing.
But the great road is the only right one, never give up on sideways! Follow the road ninety-nine times, leaving a thin line in the sky! In Taoist thought, the attitude towards practice is never to be beaten to death with a stick. If you want to take the high road, you will also leave a small road. This is the true meaning of Taoist thought. The essence of.
When it comes to specific matters, there is often a line of thinking. For example, the question of qualifications to enter the Xiantian Dao Monument has many conditions, which are all relevant, such as one's own realm? Connections? Resources? Origin? Opportunities?
But in addition to these, Taoism will also leave a secret door for those monks who will never meet the qualifications. The conditions are not fixed, and the time is not fixed. There may be one every few years, maybe once in a hundred years, somewhere. Monks who do not meet the conditions at all are allowed to enter the Great Avenue Monument!
This is a kind of propaganda, the original meaning is that the Tao is broad and will never give up on anyone.
Very advanced thinking, just to tell you that there is always a way to make progress waiting for you, and you cannot let the lower-level cultivation community lose hope!
As for whose head such a good thing will fall on? Is it real or fake? Or will it become a high-sounding excuse for high-level cultivators to do favors to each other?
None of this is important! What is important is that there must be such an opening in terms of ideology and propaganda!
It’s called, The Fate of the Left!
This means that you should not just look at the road, there are actually scenery and adventures on the roadside!
There is something in this old man’s words!
In the world of cultivation, you won't say anything clearly. You won't say "don't miss it if you pass by" like he did. It's too vulgar! It's not cultivation at all! No one will read the biography written in the future. It has no fairy spirit and is just for profit. The smell of copper.
Even if this is actually the case!
So he stopped and went to the old man's stall to look at the goods and people.
If you look at the person, it's just an ordinary old foundation, there's nothing wrong with that; if you look at the product, it's just some ordinary stones.
He was not familiar with the terrain here. When he was flying in the sky, he seemed to have seen a big river. It was in the dry season, and the river bed was half exposed. There were countless sand and gravels in it. He thought these stones were taken from it.
It seems wrong to say that it is completely worthless. Natural selection has great inspirations, and the stones in the river bed also contain some inspirations. As time changes, they show different colors, and there are subtle inspirations flowing, so they should not be said to be It's a useless thing.
But in essence, these stones are defective products that have not turned into spiritual stones after a long period of inspiration; they may have turned into jade or jade, but they have not turned into spiritual stones!
Among the minerals in the world of cultivation, stones that have not been turned into spiritual stones are just waste products. Apart from being more beautiful and being used as ornaments for ordinary people to put at home, they have no other uses!
Several foundation builders looked at it and left disappointed. They were still too young, had insufficient experience, and had no extravagant hopes for the Taoist monument, so they could not feel the metaphor behind the old man's words.
The old man watched quietly as the young man picked up the most beautiful stone. It had even five colors, bright color, and no trace of impurities. It was already the best jadeite. If placed in the mortal world, it could also be regarded as a family heirloom.
Appreciate it, play with it, and then put it down.
Pick up another solid color one, which also contains the most inspiration. Feel it carefully before putting it down.
Finally picked up a piece - a pure mortal stone, ugly, ordinary, dark,
"Like this one? See the truth in the ordinary, see the great in nature, just like our practice, we will eventually reach this point!"
The old man spoke at the right time, but the young man still put it down gently, "I don't like it! I thought there was something hidden in it. Since there is nothing, why should I like it? Pretending to be noble and deep? Ordinary is ordinary. If I really pursue ordinary,
Why should I cultivate the Tao and pursue truth?"
The old man nodded, "There's always something you like, just pick one. I've been selling here for several days, but I haven't sold any of them!"
Lou Xiaoyi did not point out that there is only one step between an expert and a liar. This is a game, and it is difficult to see through it but it is difficult to explain it; although his actions in Tian Guo were not public, they were by no means low-key, and it was very important to be noticed by interested people.
Normally, with the sophistication of these people, it is easy to arrange some stories!
As for this person's cultivation level, when he really focused his attention on it, he had doubts and naturally discovered something different. He had a very good breath-containing technique, so good that even if he knew there was something wrong, he would still see it.
Without getting to the bottom of things, the world is huge and full of surprises. A profession like liar also requires skills. It is not uncommon to be unique in a certain aspect.
As long as there is no overt robbery, he should always save some face for these technical players. This is his philosophy. Everyone is in the world of cultivation. He is not willing to do things to perfection, even if he is a sword cultivator.
He has his own views on good and evil, so in the eyes of a cultivator like Xiao Miao who has never seen the world of mortals, he looks a little weird. He makes blind moves when he shouldn't draw his sword and hesitates when he should draw his sword. In fact, if you really understand him,
You know that when he draws a sword, he actually has a very good standard, but his standard is different from others.
"Old man, you are too picky about selling this thing! You won't be open for a few days? I don't mind opening it for you once, but you have to know the price?
You have to know that the reason why it cannot be opened may be a problem with the goods, but there is another possibility that it is a problem with the price?"
The old man disagreed, "Those who think it's expensive are because they don't know what they are buying! No one who really knows what they think is expensive!
I don’t care which one of these things, the price is one thousand Ziqing! You can buy them and use them as you like! Do you think my price is expensive or not?"

Lou Xiaoyi laughed, this is a bit unprofessional!
The official price of entering the Five Elements Monument is 20,000 yuan, and the black shop price is 5,000 yuan. But your street stall has changed it to 1,000 yuan? Are you still buying and using it? The price is too low, which means it is not trustworthy! Such a simple truth, as a professional
It’s impossible for a liar to understand, right?
No matter how stupid a customer is, not only will they not be fooled because they are cheap, but they will be more vigilant. This is human nature.
He smiled and nodded at him, "Old man, for your price, you should set up a stall in front of the Dao Monument! Since it is here, you can only pay with spiritual stones, and they must be low-grade spiritual stones!"
