Master of Hongjun

"This person should be a strange person. I can't pry into his realm with the way of a quasi-sage. He is really a strange person. Don't neglect him." Greetings to the seniors."

"Hahahaha, you're welcome, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Cao Xiaolong smiled and opened his eyes.

"Senior has been waiting for this junior for a long time? I don't know what's going on?" The visitor asked deliberately full of doubts.

"The Dao has appeared, I will give you a chance, so I came, and you also came." Cao Xiaolong pretended to be unfathomable, and even captured the white beard swaying in the wind.

"Thank you so much senior."

"I already know your foundation. You came here to seek the Tao this time, so I need to pass on the essence of your Tao so that you can use it to benefit the common people." Cao Xiaolong caressed Ran Ran's white beard, but his eyes were from the beginning. It didn't open half a minute at the end, as if everything was under his control.This deed is also quite true.

"Thank you, senior." The visitor said with a long bow.

This time, the visitor gave a sincere gift, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"You know the way of etiquette quite well. You are polite and restrained, neither humble nor overbearing, which is quite in my mind. Now, I will test you. In your heart, what is Tao and where is Tao?"

The visitor thought for a while before saying: "This disciple is ignorant and doesn't know much about it. I still hope that senior can give me some pointers."

"Before the chaos was opened, the Dao was formed early, Pan Gu opened the sky, and the Dao of Heaven was born later. The things of Dao are indescribable, and there is no way to tell their way, but they show their traces everywhere in the world. It is the so-called Dao that can be said. Very Dao, famous, very famous.”

After a pause, Cao Xiaolong continued to explain; "

The way is not well-known.Husband and Tao, there is love and faith, nothing is invisible; it can be passed on but not received, it can be obtained but not seen; it is self-rooted, there is no heaven and earth, and it has existed since ancient times. It is high, it is below the six poles but not deep, it is congenitally born but not long, it is longer than the ancients but not old.

Dao, formless, imageless, soundless and odorless, big without outside, small without inside, but it is the total energy that produces and dominates all things in the world.Everything in the world cannot escape the shackles of Tao, from the birth and growth of each life, to the large, the occurrence of all natural phenomena, everything is controlled by Tao.

Tao, like water, nourishes all things silently and without action. The power of this Tao is unmatched by humans.Only by doing nothing and seeking the way can we reach the way, otherwise we will damage the way. "

"In this way, do you understand?" After Cao Xiaolong finished speaking, his eyes slowly opened, and the corners of his eyes flashed brightly.

"Disciple is terrified and doesn't quite understand." After listening for a long time, the visitor felt as if he was in a cloud of mist, knowing what happened but not knowing why, unable to go up to the sky, not down to the ground, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"It's completely normal not to understand. In the future, when you are good at the way, you will understand." Cao Xiaolong obviously didn't want to understand deeply, leaving such a huge mystery behind, and let the visitor figure it out by himself.

"I hope that my senior will take pity on me. My disciple is devoted to seeking the Tao. Now I can hear the sound of heaven. I am so happy. I am afraid that I will not be able to listen to the essence of the Tao in the future, and I will go astray. I beg the senior to accept me as a disciple." The visitor said. He suddenly knelt down and said.

This person is clever and well-behaved. Seeing that Cao Xiaolong can utter such incomprehensible truths, he must be someone with great supernatural powers. He leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade, so he immediately climbed up the tree and wanted to worship Cao Xiaolong as his teacher.

"How can you be my disciple?" Cao Xiaolong deliberately made things difficult for him.

"I have a firm heart in seeking the Tao, and I am not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, and I am dedicated to the Tao." The visitor replied.

Cao Xiaolong shook his head, "There are more than tens of thousands of beings in the world, which ones are not dedicated to seeking the Tao, and which ones are not the people with perseverance? In this way, do I have to be included in the sect?"

The visitor blushed, bowed his head and thought hard, "I was born in the chaos, and I learned the Tao at the beginning of the chaos. I know the time of the sky, understand Yin and Yang, and be good at avoiding evil."

Cao Xiaolong shook his head again, "In this way, you have already attained the truth, so why do you need to come under my sect and be bound by my sect's rules, wouldn't it be better to go and enjoy yourself?"

The visitor was in a hurry, "The way of heaven is determined, you and I have the status of master and apprentice, so we must not disobey."

Cao Xiaolong couldn't help laughing, this kid actually used the way of heaven to suppress me, no wonder he was able to teach these stinky birds in the west.

"The way of the Tao cannot be clearly stated. You say that under the way of heaven, you and I have the fate of master and apprentice, but I say that under the way of heaven, you and I have no entanglement. How can you prove it? This is just a human statement!"

Cao Xiaolong obviously got into a fight with the visitor, and he insisted on forcing the visitor to blush and have a thick neck.

"This... this..., this disciple knows very well that his actions are superficial, so he dare not discuss the Tao in front of his seniors. As a disciple, he is suddenly sincere to the heart of the Tao, and he still looks forward to the pity of the seniors!" There is no other way but to resort to this bitter trick. The man put on a bitter face and almost cried.

"If you would have lowered your head earlier, it would have been tied up. If you insist on getting blushed and thick neck, why bother?" Cao Xiaolong laughed so hard that his stomach was about to tie up, and he could only hold on by himself.

"Forget it, seeing that you are so sincere in seeking the Tao, I will make an exception and accept you as my first disciple." Cao Xiaolong pretended to think for a while, and agreed immediately.But he was very happy in his heart, thinking that he could also teach disciples, and he was also a teacher, and his disciples were such awesome people, so he was overjoyed.

"Thank you teacher for pitying me. Disciple pays homage to Master." The man knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

Cao Xiaolong sat upright on the podium and received three slaps from him, then slowly said: "You were originally a chaotic creature, and you escaped a catastrophe by chance. From then on, your luck will last forever, and you will be favored by the Dao. Today I have a jade plate of good fortune. One copy was originally made from the handle of the pangu axe, an artifact of good fortune when Pangu opened the sky, and it contains the foundation of the Dao, the foundation of the way of heaven, and I will teach it to you together, lest you call it a stingy teacher."

After finishing speaking, Cao Xiaolong stretched out his palm, holding something in his hand at some time, with thousands of auspicious energy and chaotic energy lingering, it is the jade plate of good fortune.

"Thank you, teacher, and please give me a name." It turned out that this person was so focused on seeking the Dao that he didn't even ask for a name. Now he handed over this problem to Cao Xiaolong.

As mentioned earlier, although Cao Xiaolong is unable to become a saint now, his soul cannot be placed in the void, and he is immortal, but he is the guardian of the Dao and is favored by the Dao.At the beginning of Pangu's creation, he was afraid of dying, so he promised Cao Xiaolong the jade plate of good fortune with the mentality of protecting his own people.

However, this Jade Plate of Good Fortune had his own choice, and he was already destined to be the one who became the Dao of Hongjun. Otherwise, how could he fit in with the Dao of Heaven, and who would maintain it under the Dao of Heaven?But because of what Pan Gu said, Dao had to give Cao Xiaolong the jade plate of fortune.In the end, in desperation, he had to go through the hands of Cao Xiaolong and then hand it over to Hongjun. This would not violate Pangu's wish, but also achieve the purpose of the Dao.However, the price is that Hongjun, who was originally self-taught without a teacher, has since gained a trivial master.

In fact, when Cao Xiaolong sensed the arrival of the opportunity, he knew that the so-called opportunity was nothing more than Daojing handing over the jade plate of fortune to Hongjun for Hongjun to understand the Dao.Then why did Cao Xiaolong still hand over the fortune jade plate to Hongjun, wouldn't it be better to keep it for himself?

The truth is not as simple as thought.First of all, the meaning of Dao has long been doomed, the good fortune jade plate is not owned by Cao Xiaolong, it should be Hongjun's property.It is thanks to what Pangu said that Cao Xiaolong has been able to comprehend the jade plate of good fortune for so many years.Besides, how dare you disobey the meaning of the Dao, and you are not afraid of being turned into ashes in an instant?Think about Cao Xiaolong who is so afraid of death, how dare he resist?And knowing that it is useless to resist, if he still resists, then he is a pig.

Secondly, although the good fortune jade plate contains the great way, but with the IQ of our Comrade Cao Xiaolong, although we have learned a little bit, we still can't comprehend it, and it is useless to keep it, but it is still a burden. Jun, sell Tao Dao a favor.

Thirdly, Hongjun needs to worship Cao Xiaolong as his teacher after he got the jade plate of good fortune, otherwise he will be wronged, his words will not go well, and he will make karma by himself, which is not good for his practice.And who is Hongjun?The future ruler of the Dao of Heaven, the ancestor of the Dao, has a long and unrivaled luck.Regardless of the fact that Cao Xiaolong is now the guardian of the Dao, it sounds nice. To put it bluntly, he is a dog of the Dao. This dog is useless, and the Dao will destroy it whenever it wants.And once you become Hongjun's teacher, it will be different again, your value will soar, and the teacher who is in charge of the way of heaven will enjoy Hongjun's luck and receive great merit. Cao Xiaolong, Jun's master, will not be hurt either.You said that if Cao Xiaolong still doesn’t do this, then he’s really a pig, and his life is wasted, he might as well slap himself to death and start over again in the next life!

Cao Xiaolong knew all the twists and turns here, Cao Xiaolong was well aware of the great merits and benefits, and also knew that the Dao made up for what he lost, so he accepted it calmly.

"From now on, you will be Hongjun..." Cao Xiaolong said indifferently, but his heart was already full of joy, Hongjun finally became my apprentice.

"Thank you, Master, Hongjun takes orders." Hongjun said respectfully.
