The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 71



Hua Lanting said with a smile, "I'm the second son of Qingyuan Hou. If it's fake, I'll change it." but he said in his heart, it's true, it's true, but I'm sure no one in the world can change it.

The old man's eyes were suspicious. His zongmen and Yiwei temple in Songshi mountain in the central plains were called the Great Dipper in contemporary Wulin. He himself claimed to be one of the best experts in the world, but just now he actually felt that the breath of hualanting was unfathomable and not lower than him. Therefore, after recognizing the three unique skills of Yue Hou, he still tried with a magic sword.

Since he became a magic sword 50 years ago, no one has ever broken this style with a positive move. The young man in front of him is only in his twenties. How can he believe that he is the son of Qingyuan Hou. Isn't it? Could it be that hermits and experts are attached to it, and only this kind of thing in the legend can explain the strange things in front of us.

He made up his mind and said, "the little Marquis knows the secret language and Marquis's martial arts. It should be true. It's my faux pas. It's just that the little marquis is is young but his martial arts are unparalleled. It's hard for me to imagine."

Seeing his confusion, Hua Lanting replied, "I have another adventure. It's not surprising that you have such a cultivation. I think you're only a line away from getting through Ren Du's two veins, but there's a lack of aura in this world. People's longevity is exhausted. You can't succeed only by hard work."

"In addition, although you have the right way to pass the three passes, it's a pity that you don't have enough spiritual cultivation and can't break through the big turning point of the Weilu hole. Later, you have to go another way, but you have taken a detour, so you can't pass the pass all the time. Now you have a dull pain on your back from Geshu to Gandan Piwei Shu, sanjiaoshu, Shenshu to Qihai Shu and colorectal Shu on the first day and 15th of the lunar new year?"

The old man was surprised when he heard the speech. It was his secret practice. He hurriedly said, "how do you know? Do you, you have a way to solve it?"

Seeing that Hua Lanting was able to know his problem at a glance, he further determined that he was an expert in the world, and unknowingly used honorifics.

You should know that he has been trapped in the current state for decades. Although his cultivation and martial arts become more and more proficient with the passage of time, he can't break the last barrier by any means. Now, listening to Hua Lanting's tone, he seems to see hope. How can he not make his mood fluctuate and his tone tremble.

Although there is a precedent of breaking through the soaring in his classics, due to different personal qualifications, no one has gained the Tao for thousands of years, and several generations of ancestors died in hatred.

Hua Lanting smiled. This knowledge is not a secret in the free Vientiane gate, but it is a big problem in this field.

He said to the old man, "there is no way, but I haven't done it in practice. In addition, you use a variety of methods to try. The meridians, acupoints and orifices are damaged. You need to take time to repair them before you can move on."

The old man is nearly a hundred years old. The so-called old man becomes a fine man. Since he believes that hualanting is an expert, he doesn't care about the issue of seniority. At present, he deeply saluted and said, "please teach me. I don't know what you want with your current identity. As long as a little old man can do it, I will do my best."

Hua Lanting didn't point out his guess, but said, "I can teach you the method of repair, but now I'm the prince's son. Tell me what's going on here first."

The old man replied respectfully, "I'm a disciple of daomen North Kunlun. The Taoist name is yuanmiao. North Kunlun magic empty mountain and Songshi mountain Yiwei temple in the central plains are called the Supreme Master of Wulin. North Kunlun is dedicated to cultivating Taoism and has never asked about world affairs, but I owe a great favor to the Marquis many years ago, so I promised to protect this treasure for him."

"At first, I was unwilling because I could not compare with North Kunlun. It was full of vitality and was not conducive to cultivation. However, after more than 20 years, I figured it out. First, I also knew that there was a problem with my method. Even if I practiced in North Kunlun, I might not have a result. Second, I was obsessed with forging the way since I was young. In recent years, I have made rapid progress in this aspect. I think there is no one in the world 。”

"I have heard that the Marquis was falsely imprisoned. Are you here to take out the treasure and save the Marquis?"

Hua Lanting said, "has the news come? What new progress is there now? I haven't thought about it yet. It's not urgent for the moment. I need to make a plan."

Yuan Miao said, "I'm a node between North Kunlun and the world, so I know a lot of news."

"The latest situation is that emperor Qingyun ordered King Yan of the north to take over Pingnan camp. All parties in the dust King Dynasty began to jump out. Some people took the opportunity to impeach the Marquis, and there was also human security. But emperor Qingyun refused to comment. The Marquis should have no worry about his life for the time being."

Hua Lanting said strangely, "Prince of northern Yan? The half brother of Qingyun emperor? It is said that he had no real power before. He was just an idle Prince carrying caged birds."

Yuanmiao said: "that's true, but the king of northern Yan is known as a rich country. He doesn't care about political affairs, but he is very keen on doing business. His business is all over the Dynasty and the mainland. He and his uncle Dongqing, who was born from a common concubine, are good at business and pursue martial arts. The world guesses that they are away from government affairs in order to avoid the suspicion of emperor Qingyun."

"Haiqing and Heyan, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Now, the four kings of the Chen Dynasty are adults. In addition to the king of northern Yan and the king of Eastern Qing, King Xitai, the close brother of emperor Qingyun, participated in political affairs as the leader of the later party and stationed in western Xinjiang. King Nan'an died early. His son, the king of Nan'an Prefecture, is a famous centrist, stationed in the eastern region, and the elder Tong Guogong weibian of the three dynasties is in the north. Therefore, it is true to appoint the king of northern Yan to take over southern Xinjiang this time "I'm sorry."

"Emperor Qingyun is getting older. Many things are no longer controlled by the rear party and become more and more arbitrary. This time, the sudden loss of favor of the Marquis and the North Yan king are unpredictable. It's hard to say how the pattern of the dust Dynasty and the mainland will change in the future."

Hua Lanting took a look at Yuan Miao: "didn't you say that North Kunlun doesn't ask about the world? Why do you seem to care about these?"

Yuanmiao replied, "there's no way. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. North Kunlun ignores common affairs, but all forces always come to the door for support. Therefore, as a secret stronghold outside, I will send information to the door for reference."

Hua Lanting nodded: "these can be said later. I'm very interested in your casting method. Just now, your short sword can accommodate the cold air in addition to the exquisite casting. Taoist priest, your skill is unparalleled in the world."

Hua Lanting's question also has profound meaning. He has felt the benefits of spiritual tools and magic weapons many times in the process of cultivation. He has sprouted the idea of learning to refine weapons at Dong Mingfeng. He just took this opportunity to get more exposure to some basic knowledge. In addition, he was really surprised by yuanmiao's casting skills.

When it comes to casting, yuanmiao changed his humble posture and his eyes shine, as if he had restored the look of a generation of masters.

Seeing that Hua Lanting was interested in this, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world. If he wanted to get a breakthrough, he must pay something. So he actively introduced:

"When it comes to casting, I'm still proud of my martial arts. Besides the exquisite material and technology, this cold virtual sword also needs to absorb the cold air of thousands of years in the depths of North Kunlun Mountain regularly to play its role. There are really not many weapons that can match it in the world, except ancient relics. If you want to dabble, I will give it my money."

After a pause, yuanmiao sighed again and said, "I really hope you can inherit my unique skill, even if you don't teach me the way to break through. In troubled times, there are not many younger generations who are willing to learn skills at ease. Either they just want to make a living, or they are dull and difficult to understand the mystery. I don't want to be unique in this skill."

Hua Lanting's heart moved. Previously, in the three Xuans and five elements, the instrument spirit separated and said: meet again in the future and discuss again. You should also remember that inheritance, transmission and undertaking are only for innovation. If you don't listen to yuanmiao's opinions, you may have some opinions when discussing with the instrument spirit in the future.

So he asked modestly, "all knowledge in the world comes to the same goal by different ways. I don't know if you can teach me about inheritance and innovation?"

Yuanmiao old Taoist arch arched his hand: "learning is not old or young, and the one who reaches is the first. You are better than me in cultivation, but I have some experience to communicate with you."

"I have divided skills and skills, skills and Tao into several different levels. One is slavery, which belongs to involuntary work, which is both hard and subject to the instruction and supervision of others; the other is apprenticeship, which is willing to learn but has limited ability; the third is craftsman, who is proficient in a craft and technology and can make a living; the fourth is teacher, who has mastered certain rules and can convey them to apprentices; the fifth is apprentice It can be said that a writer has formed his own concept and technical system and formed his own school. Finally, he is a saint, proficient in reason, understanding all things and even selfless, which can be handed down to future generations. "

"I feel that I can be called everyone on the way of casting, but there is still a considerable distance from being called holy."

"Speaking of inheritance, in my opinion, inheritance is essentially different from replication. Inheritance is not equal to replication. Inheritance is transmission and undertaking. I think there are about three steps."

"The first step, I call it mindfulness. People must have correct ideas and concepts. What is mindfulness? It is the first step to inherit less desire and more purity. Only purity can be achieved."

"For example, I'm standing here to talk to you calmly, but I don't exceed this range in the same place. If I raise this place to a height of 50 or 500 feet, or give me this land, I'm afraid I'll be weak and can't stand. Why? Because I have a desire - the desire to survive, I can't stand Knowing the danger, I will be afraid. Then when desire is greater than my pure thought of speech, I can't speak well. "

"So it depends on whether you want to do it or not, and whether you want to do it or not. The first step of inheritance is to have an idea, but the idea should be pure."

"The second step I call intelligent thinking, intelligent thinking and thinking. Intelligent thinking is composed of two parts, one is called opening and closing, and the other is like thinking."

"What's the reason why we can't see the stars during the day? Because people stand in the light, we can't see the stars, and the stars exist. The Taoist saying is that we know the white and keep the black, and know the male and keep the female. Conceptually, we need to be open and inclusive, just like playing chess, we need to have an overall view and pattern, otherwise we will pay attention to the head and ignore the tail. In fact, we need to give consideration to both the head and the tail On a subtle matter, it should be like pondering -- careful verification and careful pondering of any specific method, skill and detail. "

"Our ancestors have two words that are very good. Respect and fear should be respected. People should be in awe. Kong Xiansheng said in the Analects of Confucius, do I eat meat? I eat, but I can't pick out the eggs in the bird's nest, and I can't eat the pregnant mother bird. Do we eat fish? Eat, but our net can't be too dense, too thin, and even small fish. This is an impact on all things in the world "In awe"

"The last step is inheritance. We must learn to be rational. Rationality is not extreme. The most rational saying of ancient wisdom is to stick to both ends, which is the core of the doctrine of the mean."

Hua Lanting was listening with interest. When the discussion was about to continue, there was a sudden noise outside the house, and the sound was getting louder and louder. Yuan Miao had to stop talking. After converging and changing back to the appearance of an old man who was dying, he pushed the door open and went out. Hua Lanting flashed behind the door to watch.

At first glance, Hua Lanting Xin said that it was such a coincidence. It was not others who were arguing with the waiter. It was the exotic beauty covered with gauze he saw at random in the tavern just now, and the old man wrapped in white cloth was also behind him.

Hua Lanting's spiritual sense was sharp and sensitive. He was aware that yuanmiao's eyes swept between the masked woman's neck. He looked and found that the woman was wearing a jade pendant on her snow-white crisp chest.

The Taoist priest was obviously stunned, but he didn't stare anymore. Instead, he first understood the whole story.

It turned out that the two sides had a dispute over a short knife. The man said it was not for sale, but only for viewing, and the woman had to buy it. The Taoist priest didn't say much. He sold it to the woman at the price she offered. The woman and the old man turned and left the blacksmith's shop.

Back in the room, the old Taoist looked a little dignified. Hua Lanting asked, "is there anything wrong?"

Yuanmiao said, "hope is just a coincidence. She happened to pass by. This woman's identity is extraordinary. She is Dai Luosi, the daughter of the Hun. There is a Han named man Tingfang."
