"There are countless truths in the world. Some are difficult to know, and some are easy to know but difficult to practice." Tao Hongjing said with a smile, "Dai Yongde taught you the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Diagram. You can practice it from time to time. It may inspire you to understand the method of Na Jia. .Your master teacher uncle has a lot of expectations for you. The Liujia Secret Blessing can be said to be the foundation of the Immortal Sect. Since you have taken it, don’t waste it."
"Yes." Bai Ze looked doubtful.
"Why, are you still worried about Xi'er's cultivation?" Tao Hongjing asked.
"Master's principles are explained in simple and profound terms, and the disciple naturally understands it." Bai Ze said, "Xi'er's Feng Shui twin spiritual roots, wind belongs to the Xun Gua, and is contained in the five elements of wood. Among the five elements, water produces wood. If you look at it this way, it is You can create a new world. It's just that the disciples calculated from the interior scenes and still couldn't find the method of grafting."
"Hey, if you can apply the Najia method in just one month, I'm afraid no knowledge in the world can stop you." Tao Hongjing said with a smile, "Since I can tell you the style There is also a way to hide wood in water. You don't have to worry. The teacher has already selected the mental method suitable for Xi'er's practice. It's just that the way of moving Qi needs to be adjusted, and the principles also need to be modified. .There’s no need to rush.”
Bai Ze smiled and said, "Master still has to take action."
"You kid will always make trouble for me. If your own apprentice can't teach you, leave it to me, an old man." Tao Hongjing scolded with a smile. He noticed that Bai Ze still had an unresolved knot in his eyebrows and asked, "Old Qi, are you still worried about something?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Master." Bai Ze said with a smile, "I do have a question that I would like to ask Master."
"Tell me about it." Tao Hongjing said.
"Master, which one is better, the simple and concise Tao, or the complex and comprehensive Tao?" Bai Ze asked.
When Tao Hongjing heard this, his eyebrows raised.
Bai Ze's question made the old man realize that the mood of the young man in front of him had already fluctuated. He said seriously: "These days when I have been out of seclusion as a teacher, I heard that Wang Han, who entered the Immortal Sect in the same year as you, also entered the Fourth Sect. But as far as I know, Jiang Wei in Haojing City is still in the third realm. Lao Qi, Jiang Wei has heavenly spiritual roots, but Wang Han’s spiritual roots are average. But the cultivation of these two people is actually higher than that of Wang Han Jiang Wei, you should know the reason, right?"
"Of course I know." Bai Ze said, "Jiang Wei's state of mind is blocked and he can't make any progress. Wang Han is on his own, has a tough mind, and his talent is not as good as Jiang Wei's, but his current cultivation is higher than Jiang Wei's."
"What about you?" Tao Hongjing asked.
"Master, are all the sword immortals in the world of Jiuzhou really pure swordsmen?" Bai Ze asked, "I heard that only pure swordsmen can open the gate of heaven."
Tao Hongjing was stunned when he heard this, threw the gourd to Bai Ze, and then smiled and said: "Old Qi, you come with me." After saying that, he stood up, got up and took Bai Ze to the bamboo pavilion outside Shanshui Residence, pointing to the water. Yueying asked him: "What is this?"
The evening breeze blows, and the lotus flowers that were still blooming everywhere in the lotus pond a month ago are now only the lotus pods, writing the prosperity of the past under the moonlight.
"Moon shadow in the water." Bai Ze said.
Tao Hongjing then took Bai Ze to a waterfall on the mountain. The waterfall flew down and gathered into a clear pool at the bottom. Under the moonlight, the water ripples are undulating, and the reflection of the moon in the small pool is like dancing.
"What is this?" Tao Hongjing asked.
"The moon in the pond." Bai Ze already guessed what Tao Hongjing was going to say to him and smiled.
The old man took him to a mountain lake beyond the Seven Peaks and pointed to the dark blue lake water. The moonlight was shining, and the bright moon shadow was like a piece of jade, immersed in it.
"The moon in the lake." Before Tao Hongjing could ask, Bai Ze had already spoken.
Tao Hongjing raised his head to look at the moon, pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and said: "There are thousands of mountains and rivers in the world, and every moon shadow among them comes from the moon in the sky. Lao Qi, you want to ask whether Jane is better, or Dao Fan is better? Let me ask. You, there are people who have been watching the moon in the lake all their lives, how can they know the beauty of the moon in the sky? There are people who have been looking at the moon in the sky all their lives, how can they know the elegance of the moon in thousands of rivers."
"There are thousands of truths in the world, and so is the bright moon in the world." Tao Hongjing said, "Even if we have to move towards that oneness in the end, the wind and moon in the world are boundless. The moon in the sky is as high as the moon in the water is. So what do you have to doubt? ?”
"Master is saying that all dharma will be unified?" Bai Ze said with a smile.
The old man smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter whether you practice swordsmanship, study, boxing, or martial arts.
Well, this is all Tao. Just like the Moon of Ten Thousand Rivers, there is the way of swordsmanship, the way of sages, the way of boxing, and the way of magic. But if you travel thousands of miles, no matter how many scenery there are on the road, there is only one way you have to go in the end. "
That is your way.
The way of heaven travels alone, even if the predecessors plant trees, it is only for the descendants to enjoy the shade.
If you want to plant new trees with your own hands, how can you indulge in fantasy?
Just like the method of Najia taught by the old man, even if it is as strong as wind and thunder, it still belongs to the Five Elements?
The sky and the earth are big, but there is always something wider than the sky and the earth, which can bear the rising and setting of the sun, watch the ups and downs of mountains and rivers, and observe the infinity of the universe.
Baize was bathed in the moonlight, and his knots in his heart were relieved. The ripples in his mind calmed down. He felt that the sea of his soul was clear, and there was a vague reflection floating in the golden lake.
Respecting a person without confusion is like sharpening a mirror.
The clearer the spiritual platform is, the more it can reflect the true self.
"As for what you said, haha, who told you that only pure swordsmanship can open the sky?" The old man stood with his hands behind his hands, domineeringly, "When one day you can pick up the moon shadow in the water with your sword, you can also open the door of heaven with your sword. You are like this, All monks in the world are like this. Lao Qi, remember, all the incompetence in this world is due to lack of ability."
Tao Hongjing looked at the endless night sky in the north and said: "Perhaps only sword cultivators can open that sky. But some rules are not meant to be followed, but are meant to be broken."
"I understand." Bai Ze felt relieved and looked at the bright moon in the sky. It was like a promise and an oath. The clouds were light and the wind was light, but the weight was very heavy. He said, "One day, I will also use the moon in my hand. Sword, cut open the Heavenly Gate... Go and see how it is outside the Heavenly Gate compared to this world!"
"Hahahahaha..." The old man laughed loudly, turned around and patted the young man's shoulder heavily, his eyes glistening, "I hope the scenery outside Tianmen will not disappoint you."
"Satisfaction naturally brings pleasure. You should hold wine in the wind and compose poems with your sword." Bai Ze said with a smile, "If you are disappointed, you should cut it with one sword. If you are happy and happy, you will not be disappointed."
"Lao Qi, you have a great appetite for becoming a master." Tao Hongjing said with a smile, "A sword cultivator should have the domineering spirit of a sword cultivator. If there is any injustice, just cut it off."
Bai Ze smiled and asked, "Master, did you ever open the Heavenly Gate back then?"
Tao Hongjing smiled and said nothing.
