Chapter 147 Heavenly Talents

  After listening to Fang Jifan\'s words, I saw Yu Daochun weeping with joy.

Yu Daochun said with a lot of emotion: "It\'s really unexpected. Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Master is proficient in Taoism, and happened to bump into you and taught you the meaning of the Tao Te Ching. It is no wonder that you have a good understanding of the Tao Te Ching." With this understanding, it is not at all surprising that you were able to write this "Truth of Taoism". The master said that your bones are strange because you have spiritual roots, but the poor Taoist brothers, I am ashamed to say that even though I have followed Master for 20 years, I have achieved nothing, Master... Junior Brother... You are a predestined person..."

  Teacher...Returning Junior Brother...

  Fang Jifan looked at Yu Daochun who was in tears with emotion, and was speechless for a while.

  Yu Daochun wept uncontrollably, and continued: "Over the years, Pindao has followed Master\'s teachings every single day, and he must keep his Taoist heart and shine on the teacher\'s school. It\'s just...just..."

  Maybe because I was too emotional, I coughed desperately for a while, finally calmed down, looked at Fang Jifan seriously and said: "When Master left, what did you say to you?"

   "This..." Fang Jifan couldn\'t help feeling a little cruel in his heart. If he had known that Wei Dayou was Yu Daochun\'s mentor, he wouldn\'t use Wei Dayou as an excuse.

  He thought for a while, and had no choice but to say: "The Taoist said that he has a few good disciples, and... he is an outsider, and he left all the common things to a few disciples."

  Yu Daochun sighed again: "What else?"

   "He..." Hey... Fang Jifan thought in his heart, the words have reached this point, so he had to brazenly make up: "He said that I have spiritual roots in my body, and I am a talent that is rare in a thousand years."

Yu Daochun nodded his head and said: "Master\'s eyes are as bright as a torch, otherwise, how could my younger brother write the "True Scriptures of Taoism"? We have studied with Master for dozens of years, and we have never had such understanding. I am ashamed, ashamed Junior Brother, what else did Master say?"

  Fang Jifan tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "Probably that\'s all. Apart from teaching me some Taoism, he just patted me on the shoulder and said, \'Boy, you are very promising\'."

  Yu Daochun shook his head, and said with tears in his eyes, "Master must be very pleased to have found such an intelligent disciple as you."

  Fang Jifan said modestly: "Where, where, I don\'t think so. I think Master must have missed it."

  Yu Daochun said very seriously: "Nonsense, Master has cultivated Taoism for two years, how can he be mistaken for his cultivation? Don\'t be humble."

  Fang Jifan pursed his lips, then fell silent, and said in his heart, I am too modest, you must praise me, but you can\'t blame me.

At this time, Yu Daochun took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Master, following the order of Zhang Tianshi, came to the capital to set up a temple, and carry forward this righteous way in the north. Since then, Longquan Temple has flourished. This is a great merit. Since junior brother is a disciple of the master, why not also enter the Taoist sect and practice together?"

  He didn\'t doubt Fang Jifan\'s identity at all. On the contrary, Fang Jifan said that he had never been pointed out by anyone, so he became suspicious.

You know, he deeply felt that the "Tao Te Ching Collection" indeed carried out many of his master\'s views on the Tao Te Ching. It is no wonder that when he read the "Tao De Jing Collection", he immediately He was astonished! If it is said that Fang Jifan did not inherit the mantle of the master, Yu Daochun chopped off his head and kicked it for others.

Yu Daochun said very seriously: "My lineage of Longquan Guan comes from the Zhengyi Road of Longhu Mountain. My mentor crossed the river and went north. He has been spreading the Tao in the north for a hundred years. The master\'s family has been passed down for four generations. The disciples follow the Dao to the sky. For example, Shizun is the generation of the big characters. In the Dao name, there is a big character. My senior brothers and you are all the generation of the word "Tao", and the character under it is the generation of the word "Chao". For the generation of "Heaven". Since you have obtained the mantle of your mentor, you are a poor Taoist brother. I will write a book and report to the real master of Longhu Mountain, and ask him to give you a talisman. .You and I are from the same sect, and we are brothers and sisters, and we are also of the Taoist generation. From now on, your Taoist name may as well be called \'Fang Daofan\', how about it?"

  He looked at Fang Jifan very sincerely, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, thinking that this person is a personal disciple left by his teacher, if he can make him enter the Taoist sect, I am afraid that he will be able to fulfill the teacher\'s lifelong wish. What\'s more, Fang Jifan was handed down by his master and wrote "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi". He is so unusual at such a young age. No wonder the master said that his bones are strange. .

  He is an outsider, and he has been cultivating in Taoist temples outside the city. In fact, he has limited understanding of Fang Jifan. But this fellowship is what he values ​​most.

only…

  Fang Daofan?

  Fang Jifan is even more confused now, aren\'t you **** kidding me? Let me be an old Taoist priest?

  Fang Jifan opened a pair of bright eyes, looking at Yu Daochun, who was dressed in simplicity, with white beard and hair, and only a messy bun on his head.

Fang Jifan shuddered involuntarily, and quickly said: "No, no, I was just lucky enough to get a little advice from Daoist Wei. I will never do this Taoist priest. If my father knows, he will beat me to death." .”

  Fang Jifan didn\'t know how he would feel if his father, who was dozens of miles away, was taken out by him to block the gun.

   But it doesn\'t matter, he is the one who cheated.

  Yu Daochun said stubbornly: "Junior brother, this is the wish of the master, not to mention that you are born with wisdom, and you are destined to have a close relationship with Taoism. How can you refuse?"

  Fang Jifan just shook his head blindly, until tears almost came out. Being a Taoist priest, wouldn\'t this kill him?

Seeing Fang Jifan\'s relentless refusal, Yu Daochun was immediately disappointed, and couldn\'t help crying again. He was even more emotional that he couldn\'t expect to get news from his mentor, and he was full of disappointment, and this junior refused to belong to the Taoist sect , it is even more regrettable.

   It’s just such a thing, you really can’t force it.

  So he smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe the opportunity hasn\'t come yet, junior brother, hey..."

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t help but feel a little nervous when he saw the way he looked at him. He had confirmed this look, and it was no different from the old bustard who forced her into prostitution.

  Fang Jifan felt flustered when he saw it, so he hurriedly said: "I still have some mundane things in the city, so I will take my leave, I will take my leave."

   As he spoke, he walked away.

   Only Yu Daochun was left with a bewildered face. This junior seems to have misunderstood Taoism. Why, is he so afraid?

  When he thought of this, a young man with such strange bones and inheritance from his master would avoid the dragon spring like a snake and scorpion, Yu Daochun couldn\'t help but feel even more sad.

  It\'s just...twisted melon...not sweet.

   What a pity, what a pity...

  He didn\'t stop him, but looked at Fang Jifan\'s back, feeling sad.

  Fang Jifan, who was in a hurry to escape, came out of the Sanqing Pavilion and went all the way back to Qiu Zudian, where he saw several disciples still waiting here, including Wang Shouren.

   But Tang Yin was a little disheveled, and several people were talking in low voices, chattering, and when they saw Fang Jifan coming, they immediately stopped talking.

  Fang Jifan saw that their faces were different, and said angrily: "What\'s wrong?"

   Tang Yin hurriedly said: "Nothing, nothing."

   But Fang Jifan frowned when he saw that the faces of several people were obedient, did this really look like nothing happened?

On the contrary, Wang Shouren said: "Just now there was a little dispute. I heard that the vegetarian food here is good, so I wanted to try it. The group of Taoists actually wanted to charge each person a tael of silver, and waited for the food to be served. There was meat and meat in the dish, thinking that brother Tang Nian was a little annoyed, so he said something more, saying that he was a fake Taoist, so he argued with the Taoist gang leader, they called the students sour scholars, there are many Taoists here, so it is inevitable to push Shoved, but it doesn\'t matter."

  Tang Yin\'s face was a little pale, and he lowered his head and said: "It\'s the student\'s fault. The student actually knows that meat is allowed to be eaten in Zhengdao, but I just don\'t like that they charge a tael of silver for each customer, so..."

  A wit is a wit, and there is a bit of unwillingness to admit defeat in his bones.

   Ouyang Zhi and the others are idiots.

  As for Xu Jing, who has always been tactful and unhappy, he will only hide it.

  Fang Jifan snorted, and looked at Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren has an even weirder temper, and he doesn\'t understand the world at all. Obviously, Tang Yin and the others don\'t want him to know about this, for fear that he will worry about it. Fortunately for Wang Shouren, he revealed it all at once.

  Shaking his head in his heart, what kind of people are these stupid people.

  Fang Jifan still had lingering fears about this matter, fearing that he would be **** to become a Taoist priest, but he didn\'t want to cause trouble, so he said, "Go down the mountain."

  Going down the mountain gate and heading towards the capital, after walking for three or four miles, Fang Jifan felt a little hungry. He saw a tea stall along the official road, so he asked someone to stop and took a few disciples to sit down.

  This is an open-air tea stall, only a couple are there, seven or eight greasy tables and chairs, not only tea, but also pastries for sale.

Fang Jifan and the others took their seats, occupying two tables, and a few scattered tea drinkers sat far away, looking at Fang Jifan and his party curiously, and seemed to know that Fang Jifan and his party were nobles in Beijing, so in their eyes, Unavoidably with awe.

Xu Jing went over to negotiate with the couple at the tea stand, and ordered tea and pastries, while Wang Shouren sat across from Fang Jifan with a cheeky face, and said, "The student has been thinking about it for several days and nights, and the young master\'s words about the unity of knowledge and action really touch my heart." Many, what is meant by knowing is nothing more than reason. This reason is not only the law of all things, but also the true face of things. Then what is meant by practice? Come to Longquan to observe and practice, to practice agriculture and to be an official. The unity of knowledge and action means that people\'s cognition needs to be combined with practice, what do you think?"

  After listening to Wang Shouren\'s words, Fang Jifan said angrily, "I\'m hungry."

   "..." Wang Shouren had no choice but to say awkwardly, "But the students still have one thing they don\'t know..."

  Obviously, he really has a thick skin. No matter what Fang Jifan said, he insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the end.

  Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Don\'t ask, I\'ll talk after I eat and drink."

  Wang Shouren smiled wryly, seeing Fang Jifan\'s weak look, he could only nod his head.
