The eye of merit

Chapter 117
Chapter 151

Zhao Changjiang and Huang Tiannan were speechless for a long time after reading the Taoist scriptures. After more than half an hour, they closed the Taoist scriptures and said, "What are your plans?"

"I plan to go to the Cosmos Academy for further studies." Ning Wan said.

"Wanwan and I will go to the School of the Universe together," Cheng Jing said.

"Grandpa, I also want to go to the Cosmic Academy." Huang Zhaoyun said.

Seeing that the three of them had the same opinion, Huang Tiannan smiled and said, "Okay! In today's China, the transportation system has been paralyzed. I'll ask someone to take you there."

After talking about the three daughters of Ning Wan, let's look at Yang Xian.

After staying in Mingyue Lake Villa for one night, Yang Xian thought to himself, 'After all, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Practicing in this villa is the same as practicing in Shanxi Village. 'If you really compare it, here is not as quiet as Shanxi Village, and moreover, Yang Xian doesn't like to be praised like a star.

"Tao is in ordinary life!" This is Yang Xian's idea. Chaos evolves and the world is opened up.

In other words, every word and deed is the Tao, and every flower and grass is also the Tao. It can be said that all things have evolved from the "Tao"!

After Yang Xian left the capital, he restrained his cultivation. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary person, inconspicuous. In today's China, there are many, many homeless ordinary people like Yang Xian.

"How can we reach the realm of supernatural powers?" Yang Xian has been thinking about this question. He thought about it while walking, but after reaching his level, the road above becomes more and more difficult. It's like climbing to the top of a mountain alone. If he wants to climb higher, he has to break the shackles of the rules.

At this time, Yang Xian wanted to break the shackles of the rules and attack the realm of supernatural powers; however, after a person climbed to the top of the mountain, if he wanted to climb up, it was tantamount to climbing to the sky. Yang Xian wants to achieve supernatural powers, but it won't happen overnight.

Yang Xian didn't know how long he walked, and sighed, "It would be great if I could go to an alien planet to see, maybe there will be some enlightenment." Why can’t I become enlightened on earth?”

"By the way, don't manifest supernatural powers, don't manifest supernatural powers!" Yang Xian recited this sentence. From ancient times to the present, mortals rarely see gods manifest supernatural powers, and the Tathagata has only manifested supernatural powers five times. Yang Xian I believe that when they reached the level of Confucius, they also had supernatural powers, but they never manifested supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Yang Xian thought to himself, "Could it be that if you want to have supernatural powers, you can't use them?" This matter is very contradictory!Yang Xian thought for a long time, and finally decided to walk the road walked by the ancient sages, that is, the road of penance, experience the warmth and coldness of the world, taste the various states of the world, and understand the great way of heaven and earth.

In fact, to be honest, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucian saints, they are all people-oriented. Many people only know that Buddhism has Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, but they don’t know that Buddhism has five vehicles. One vehicle is the human vehicle. The Buddha once said that if you want to be a Buddha, you must first learn to be a human being.

In the same way, there is also a saying in Taoism that only those who have truly achieved Taoism are real people. From this we can see that "true people" must start with people if they want to become Taoists; while the Confucian way of practicing is more people-oriented and cultivates the righteousness of the world. .

"Gulu!" Yang Xian's stomach rumbled, and he remembered that he had been walking alone for several days after he restrained his cultivation, and then he smiled lightly, "It seems that if you want to become a Taoist, you must first learn how to be a human being." 'In other words, gods are easy to do, but people are hard to do. This shows how difficult it is to be a human being.

Yang Xian glanced forward, and the place where he saw was a city. Looking at it from where Yang Xian was, the city had not been attacked by aliens, and it was still a complete city. As mentioned earlier, the aliens mainly Attack the big cities on the planet.

When Yang Xian got closer and closer to the city, he could already see some vehicles running on the road. Yang Xian saw the sign on the side of the road and learned that the city was called Xuanping City.

After Yang Xian entered the city of Xuanping, looking at the passers-by on the road, he felt that he was out of tune with this world, and he became an outsider.

"It smells so good!" Yang Xian restrained his cultivation and opened up his six senses. Just like ordinary people, smelling the smell of food from the restaurant, he felt that his stomach was getting more and more hungry.

Of course, there is still food in Yang Xian's space ring, but since he wants to understand the Dao, he must enter the world to experience it, and find the real Dao from ordinary life.

No, Yang Xian walked into the restaurant subconsciously. In his opinion, he still had a lot to eat.

Yang Xian's eyes scanned the street and found that every restaurant was full of people. Yang Xian found a restaurant with fewer people and walked in.

After Yang Xian met, he picked up the menu on the table and glanced at it. Then, a waiter came and said to Yang Xian, "Sir, what do you want to order?"

"One vegetable, one fish." Yang Xian said.

"Okay, wait for a while." The waiter took notes and said.

After a while, a bowl of green vegetables and a fish were placed in front of Yang Xian. Yang Xian picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. This feeling was very strange. Then he remembered that he hadn't eaten fireworks in the world for many days, and the taste was different. flavor.

After Yang Xian finished eating, he suddenly woke up, and he had no money. At this moment, the waiter came over, saw Yang Xian's movements, and said, "Sir, have you finished eating?"

"It's over." Yang Xian said.

"Just pay the bill when you're done eating, it's 83 yuan in total," the waiter said.

"Uh, this, I didn't bring any money." Yang Xian said awkwardly, he really didn't have any money, and he didn't even remember how long he hadn't used any money.

"Hmph!" The waiter's face turned cold, "You still dare to come to eat without money, do you want to eat Overlord's meal?"

"This!" Yang Xian just wanted to take something out of the space ring, and then he thought again, "If you can't use supernatural powers, I don't believe it. If you don't use supernatural powers, you can't solve the problem." There was a slight increase in his fundamental wisdom, and then he realized, 'No wonder the ancient sages didn't use supernatural powers, they wanted to cultivate wisdom. '

"Give me the money, if you don't, I'll call someone!" the waiter said fiercely.

"I don't know if you are recruiting people here?" Yang Xian said.

"No recruiting!" said the waiter, he was very aware of the situation in his shop, the restaurant was not big and was already full.

"Uh, I can cook." Yang Xian said.

"Hmph, I can also cook!" the waiter said, "We don't need anyone here, pay quickly!"

"Well, I really know how to cook, let's just talk about the fish here, it's really bad!" Yang Xian said.

"Kao, I ate free food and said it was unpalatable, who is it?" the waiter said.

"I'm telling the truth, I never tell lies!" Yang Xiandao, he felt very speechless at this time, suddenly, he felt that he was nothing without supernatural powers, and it turned out that he was just an ordinary person.

"Xiao Zhang, is it because he wants to eat for nothing?" A fat man in a white apron came out and asked.

When Yang Xian saw the person coming, he said, "You are the cook here, to tell you the truth, your food here is really not very good."

"You really know how to cook?" said the fat man. He was most proud of his cooking skills. When he just came out, he heard Yang Xian say that his cooking was not delicious, and he was furious.

"A little bit!" Yang Xian said.

"Okay, then tell me, how many kinds of seasonings I put in this fish, and what kinds of seasonings are they!" The fat man asked casually.

"There are fourteen kinds of seasonings in this dish!" Yang Xiandao, and then counted out each kind of seasoning in detail, and then told the recipe of this fish, and then said the shortcomings of this dish , the fat man looked at Yang Xian in surprise, as if Yang Xian was watching him cook on the spot.

"How is this possible?" The fat chef looked at Yang Xian with wide eyes, and the waiter also looked at Yang Xian in surprise. Yang Xian said, "This is just a small way." He was telling the truth.

"Come, come with me!" The fat chef pulled Yang Xian into the kitchen, followed by the waiter. After the three came to the kitchen, the fat chef said to Yang Xian, "If you cook a dish, just cook fish. "

"Okay!" Yang Xian said. He glanced into the kitchen and saw live fish in the pool. His mental energy surged out as soon as he thought about it, and then he took it back. The fish appeared in the net, still beating non-stop.

"Good skill!" Fatty Chef praised, he knew that the fish in the pool were very flexible, and he didn't have much skill, so he really couldn't catch them, but Yang Xian just put the net into the water, and caught the fish in an instant.

But Yang Xian thought, 'This is nothing, my ability has been sealed! 'At this time, Yang Xian was only using the strength of a mortal, but he had a clear mind and excellent physical fitness, so he could easily catch fish with his hands.

Afterwards, Yang Xian picked up the knife with his right hand, and shook the fishing net in his left hand, and saw the fish being shaken in the air. Yang Xian's eyes froze, and the fat chef felt the knife flash in front of his eyes, and saw the fish lying quietly. On the plate, Yang Xian threw the fish scales and viscera from the knife into the trash can.

"Ah!" The fat chef finally understood, and thought, 'This is not good at cooking, he is simply a master chef. '

Yang Xian ignored the gazes of others, focused his attention on adjusting his breath, and looked at the pot with all his attention. If he wants to cook well, he must first learn how to control the temperature of the fire. If you can't master the heat, you can't use the Samadhi real fire to refine your body, and you can't reach a higher level.

Therefore, Yang Xian's mastery of the fire has reached a subtle level, even if he doesn't use his eyes, he can still feel the temperature of the fire.

When the heat was up, Yang Xian threw the fish into the pot, and then, holding the pot with his right hand, he saw the fish jumping constantly in the pot, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of fish from the pot.

As time passed, Yang Xian poured the seasonings into the pot, every seasoning reached a fine level, never more or less, Yang Xian did not put many seasonings, only four, ginger, salt , oil, green onions, four things, four simple things!
After the fish was completely cooked, Yang Xian shook his hands and put the fish into the plate. The fish fell steadily onto the plate, exuding a faint fragrance, but it made people intoxicated.

"That's all right?" Fat Chef said, which reminded him of a sentence, simplifying the complex and returning to the basics.
