A knife in love

Chapter 2059
Zhang Xu in front of Wang Xiaoyu, there was a huge deep pit, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, like a funnel.The pit is several kilometers in size and bottomless. Standing on the edge, one can only vaguely see the middle of the pit, while the opposite bank is hidden in a gray mist, and it is impossible to see what it looks like at all.

Wang Xiaoyu looked at the bottom of the pit for a while, only to feel dizzy before his eyes, hurriedly took two steps back, closed his eyes tightly, and shook his head vigorously, only then did he feel a little better.After she opened her eyes, she no longer dared to look into the pit, turned around and walked to the right.As she walked, she thought, this place must have been a very deep lake before, but for some unknown reason, the lake dried up, leaving this big pit.The few old trees on the shore lost the moisture of the lake and eventually withered.I was still annoyed that I didn't get the mount of Zhou Ziming's group, but I didn't expect the auspicious person and heaven to save my life by not riding a horse.Otherwise, if the horse gallops over here, it will be too late to rein in the mount. I am afraid that the horse and man will fall into the deep pit, and they will only end up with no bones left.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu secretly thought he was lucky.At this time, she had bypassed two big trees, and not far ahead was the biggest dead tree.The trunk of this dead tree is so thick that only five or six people can hug it.Although the big tree is dead, it is still more than ten feet high.The dead branches twist and turn, like a devil with teeth and claws.The branches and branches on the left half of the big tree hang over the deep pit, and the dead branches on the right half cover the ground for tens of feet.The dead branches are like slender and sharp fingers, hanging from the air to the ground, which is extremely strange at first glance.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaoyu was startled. He couldn't help slowing down, and carefully moved a few steps to the right, trying to get as far away from the big tree as possible.After she had walked a few feet, she was about to go around the dead tree, when she suddenly heard a chuckle, and then someone said in a soft voice: "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid you're wrong. You said 'empty and Be unyielding, move more and more. Too many words are too poor, it is better to stay in the middle' is to teach people to follow the golden mean, and you should not only seek rapid progress in doing things, you should weigh the interests and make decisions. But the younger sister thinks that the key point of this sentence It lies in the four characters of "unyielding" and "surviving". Lao Tzu said that in doing things, you must not be afraid of hardships and dangers, and you will become stronger when you meet the strong. As for the last two sentences, it seems to be saying that you should talk less and do more. If what you say is better than what you do Much better than doing nothing."

Wang Xiaoyu didn't expect that there was someone here. Hearing the voice was still a woman, he was startled and hurriedly stopped.It's just that this woman's speech is mixed and white, and she can't understand what she is saying at all.Among them, the woman also mentioned "Lao Tzu", which made Wang Xiaoyu even more puzzled.She didn't know that the "Lao Tzu" the woman said was not a curse word at all, but the respectful title of Li Er, the founder of Taoism.Wang Xiaoyu was ignorant, so naturally he didn't know that the passage quoted by the woman came from the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu, which was extremely mysterious.Although the words sound simple, they have profound meanings, not to mention ignorant girls like Wang Xiaoyu, even a well-learned Confucian can't fully understand the meaning.

Wang Xiaoyu was astonished, but he couldn't see where the person who spoke was hiding. He thought that someone was deliberately teasing him, and was about to draw out his sword to reprimand him loudly, when suddenly he heard a man laughing: "I don't know something, you must know this sentence For the deep meaning of the words, you need to know what Lao Tzu said in his life. When you look at this passage, if you don’t see it by yourself, you will understand it. If you are not self-righteous, you will make it clear. Therefore, no one in the world can compete with it. The ancient so-called music is complete. Is it empty words? Honesty and completeness. This sentence is the most important point of Taoism founded by Lao Tzu. "Struggling with it" is the most important thing in this sentence. If a girl understands the deep meaning of this sentence, the problems in the entire Tao Te Ching can be easily solved, and her future achievements will be limitless."

The man's voice fell, only to hear the woman in front laughing: "Brother Zhao, I don't know where I heard this high opinion?"

The man smiled, and said: "Half a year ago, I went to Fengyue Mountain to collect herbs, and I met a Taoist priest from the pass. This man was ugly, dressed in rags, and drunk all day long. He lived in Ziyang, Fengyue Mountain. In the temple, there is nothing else to do except eat and sleep every day. The Taoist priests in the Ziyang Temple hated him and tried to drive him away many times, but they couldn't do anything. They called him a sloppy Taoist behind his back.

"One day a distinguished guest came to the Ziyang Temple and wanted to hold a big ceremony in the temple to pray for his ancestors. This distinguished guest gave Ziyang Temple 200 taels of silver, which immediately caused a sensation in the twenty or thirty monasteries and monasteries on Fengyue Mountain. Taoist temple. The eyes of those monks and Taoist priests were red, and many abbots and temple masters regretted not taking this great event in their hands..."

When the man said this, he only heard the woman give a "puchi" smile, and said in his mouth: "Ah, I can't imagine that these eminent monks who have attained the Tao, the masters outside the world, are so snobbish. It's really chilling."

The man smiled and said: "Whether it is the Sanqing or the Buddha, it is all about teaching people wisdom, to see clearly the muddiness and all kinds of illusions in this world. But there are many treacherous people who misinterpret the meaning of the sages and cleverly interpret the words of the sages." For repairs, to make a profit. If it is not for fame and fortune, why do they build magnificent temples and Taoist temples to distract people with their voices and colors? The Taoist priests of Ziyang Temple took 200 taels of silver from that distinguished guest, and the whole temple was busy Get up. Even the old temple master who refused to show up for many years came out and invited the distinguished guest to drink tea in the backyard.

"This distinguished guest likes Huang Lao's theory on weekdays, and he has read a lot of Taoist scriptures, so he chatted with the old temple master about Dao Zang, and it seemed like he had met each other. It's just that when the two talked about Tao Te Ching, , but his face was flushed because of the deep meaning of a few words, and in the end he glared at each other like two fighting roosters. Seeing that the two were about to fight, the sloppy Taoist lying on the stone steps outside and basking in the sun suddenly laughed, He casually recited the few words that the two people in the room were arguing about, and then explained it with a smile. After hearing this, the old temple master and the honored guest were suddenly enlightened, both surprised and admired, completely forgetting their respective identities , He said out the sentences in the Tao Te Ching that he couldn't figure out on weekdays. The sloppy Taoist explained casually, and he explained it so well that the old temple master and the distinguished guests admired it. The three talked through the door and inspired each other Elaborate, explain a Tao Te Ching clearly.

"In the end, the old temple master and the distinguished guests went out of the house, bowed down in front of the sloppy Taoist, proclaimed his master, and wanted to study Taoism with him. The sloppy Taoist laughed, and said in his mouth, living in this magnificent Ziyang Temple, Every day, if you have no desires and no desires, how can you have the heart to study Taoism? The old temple master suddenly woke up, showing shame, and confessed repeatedly in front of the sloppy Taoist. The sloppy Taoist laughed, Taoism is originally simple and unpretentious The knowledge of Taoism cannot be enshrined in Taoist temples. To practice Taoism, you can only learn the deep meaning of Taoism in the mountains and forests, in the city, tile lanes, looking at all things in the world, all living beings, and knowing the joys and sorrows of the world.

"When the sloppy Taoist said this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around and walked away. The old temple master and the distinguished guest looked at each other and smiled, and followed him. At that time, I happened to be hiding in the wing room, and I could hear the three of them clearly It is clear, and I have benefited a lot. Today I am learning and selling, and I told my sister to know. If my sister can understand the Tao Te Ching and practice diligently every day, it may not be impossible to ascend in the daytime and become a fairy."
