Chapter six hundred and forty seventh ancient power
Chapter 647: Ancient Power
In order to deepen the effect, Lin Mu continued to imitate the tone of the mysterious voice in the Immortal Killing Flying Knife: "After waiting for thousands of years, someone finally opened the ancient Taoist door. Young people, your era is about to come. A great mission.
It will be placed on your shoulders."
“I don’t know your senior’s surname?”
Shang Fulong's eyes flashed slightly. He was not as easily deceived as ordinary geniuses. There was clearly doubt in his eyes, but he still maintained the polite tone he needed to avoid offending the ancient power.
"I am just a last-ditch survivor of the ancient world. I have been waiting till now just to find someone who can continue my legacy. My name has long been buried in the great catastrophe of the ancient world."
Lin Mu said desolately.
Listening to the fact that there was no hint of self-promotion in his words, but instead mocking himself as a person hanging on to his last breath, all the geniuses believed that this must be a real power.
"Inheriter?"
Situ Aolong and Shang Fulong have always been opposed to each other, so they naturally did not want to let Shang Fulong get the limelight and immediately stepped forward, "Senior, I don't know how to get the inheritance. Is there any test?"
"Children can be taught."
Lin Mu glanced at Situ Aolong appreciatively.
This sentence is a famous saying from that world in the memory of teacher Wu Qingyun. It does not exist in Lingwu Continent. The geniuses' eyes lit up after hearing this. They felt that this senior's speech was really unique and quite ancient. He was worthy of being an ancient power.
"Senior, I wonder what the test is?"
Ling Zixiao also stood up and said in an arrogant tone, "There are talented people from generation to generation, and history is constantly developing. Warriors of our generation will definitely not be inferior to the heroes of ancient times. With the inheritance of my predecessors in my hands, I will definitely be able to
Promote it."
"If you want to inherit my inheritance, you must have the mind and understanding suitable for practicing my way."
Lin Mu said slowly, "In ancient times, Pindao once wrote a book called the Tao Te Ching. Among you, whoever has the deepest insights into this book can inherit my legacy."
As he spoke, he had an encouraging smile on his face, but he secretly said in his heart: "Let's see how I trick you to death."
The so-called Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest enlightenment books in the world in the teacher’s memory.
In that world, countless sages and wise men have devoted themselves to studying this book for thousands of years, but no one can really fully understand it.
Over the years, Lin Mu often read this book, but the result was that he still had only a half-understanding.
As long as he uses the contents of this book, he is sure to deceive these pretentious geniuses in front of him.
"Hahaha, senior, I am the best at interpreting Taoism. Senior, please feel free to tell me this Tao Te Ching. I will definitely not let you down."
When Shang Fulong heard this, he immediately laughed confidently.
"Hmph, it's unfortunate. In this regard, I also think that I have a unique talent since I was a child. I am definitely better than some people."
Situ Aolong said not to be outdone.
"I'm also interested."
Tang Yu said lazily.
The other geniuses also had different expressions, with expectations in their eyes.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. The name can be named, but it is very famous."
Lin Mu didn't lose his appetite on purpose, and soon he whispered in a vicissitudes of voice.
With just one sentence, countless geniuses' bodies trembled violently, and their faces showed strong shock.
Even Su Qing, who was as cold as a sword, suddenly became stunned and his breathing became rapid.
Zhuang Bufan, who was standing behind him, his eyes shone sharply, and he became truly surprised.
"The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things named"
Lin Mu's voice seemed to be distant and near, ethereal and uncertain, sounding more like the sound of the great road.
This is the effect created by Lin Mu specially mixing the power of the soul into it.
The geniuses were all shocked and their hearts were roaring. They had never heard every word of these before, but they could clearly judge that these words were more profound than any books they had read before.
The doubts in this fashionable Fulong's eyes were gone, and he looked at Lin Mu with awe.
At this moment, he really regarded Lin Mu as an ancient power.
How could someone not be a great master from ancient times write such exquisite sentences?
"The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things like straw dogs. The saints are unkind and treat the common people like straw dogs."
Not long after, when Lin Mu said these words, looks of fear appeared on many people's faces.
The original meaning of this sentence is to illustrate the selflessness and equality of heaven and earth.
But it was only the first time for everyone present to hear it. How could ordinary people understand the deep meaning so quickly? They could only understand it from the superficial meaning and regard this sentence as the words of the indifferent world and the indifference of the saint.
"It turns out that in the eyes of heaven, earth and saints, all living beings of our generation are nothing more than stupid dogs."
Some people even knelt on the ground in despair.
However, geniuses like Su Qing and Zhuo Bufan are not as intelligent as ordinary people. They realized the true meaning behind these words and were much calmer than ordinary people.
"Things are mixed together. Innately, humans are born according to heaven and earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature."
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
The entire Tao Te Ching is not short, and Lin Mu also deliberately spoke slowly, but after a quarter of an hour, he finished it all.
When the last word fell, a long period of dead silence fell in front of the Taoist temple gate.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the classic Taoist quotations word for word, and were immersed in an inextricable feeling.
Lin Mu knew this feeling very well.
When he first read the Tao Te Ching from Wu Qingyun's memory, he really regarded it as a holy temple. He even thought that as long as he understood this book, he would become a saint and attain enlightenment.
But later he undoubtedly found that this at most gave him some insights, but it had no substantial improvement effect on his martial arts practice.
The reason is very simple. The Tao described in the Tao Te Ching is too far away from his current realm.
Just like an ant, even if the best human skills are placed in front of it, it is still impossible to understand anything from it.
But it's not without gain.
Through this incident, Lin Mu completely understood that the true Tao is not found in mysterious words, but under the feet. He needs to be down-to-earth and find it step by step.
After a while, the geniuses in front finally reacted and began to make sounds.
However, their voices were almost muttering to themselves, as they were still savoring and trying to understand the words in the Tao Te Ching.
"A generous person has no corners, a great talent comes late, a great sound is loud, and an elephant is invisible."
People with slightly dull qualifications especially like this sentence, repeating it over and over again, and even occasionally look excited, feeling that the inheritance of this senior should be prepared for people like themselves.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage. This is not the case with the way of man. If there is not enough damage, there will be more than enough."
Some evil and vicious people regard this sentence as a wise saying and are secretly happy.
