The Daqian Dynasty, in the northwest, covers the ancient famous pass.
Huge checkpoints traverse the land in the northwest, blocking the vast pastures of Northern Xinjiang and the snowfields of Tianshan Mountains.
At this moment, it was dusk, and a sunset filled half of the vast sky, slowly sinking in the bloody twilight.
"Master, the news has spread all over the world. In the near future, countless outstanding people will come to listen to your teachings in Taiping Dao."
On top of the city wall, a young man wearing a green shirt, with a handsome face, a tall figure and a condensed breath respectfully bowed forward, with deep reluctance in his words.
He is Xie Xuan, a disciple of Xie Yu, a disciple of Confucian Zhang Zhiping. He is also a martial arts golden elixir that Lin Chen has successfully created after constructing a successful golden elixir model in the past few years.
In front of him, he was wearing a simple white robe. His aura was indifferent and peaceful, and his eyes were as clear and transparent as after a new rain in an empty mountain.
This person is none other than Lin Chen!
"Very good. After I leave this time, the position of Great Sage Master will be handed over to you." Lin Chen said lightly.
"……yes."
"Although using mathematics to govern the world can greatly reduce exploitation and oppression, there are still various problems and shortcomings." Lin Chen said as he looked at the sinking sun on the horizon.
"After all, humans are not machines, and there are still various problems that occur in reality. Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely use mathematics to govern everything in this society. After all, you are not so powerful now. computing machine."
"So in the yellow sky of Taiping Dao, while leaving a redundant amount for each calculation, I also separated culture and things related to human nature, and left them to you Confucians to govern and educate."
"To be honest, I don't know much about the intrigues and officialdom battles, but I know that all power itself, in the final analysis, cannot escape the word profit."
"So I handed over the distribution of interests and law enforcement power to the cold and ruthless [Huang Tian], and handed over the governance of culture and thought to the Confucians who have the [Steel Seal of Thought]. I just hope that we can complement each other and find a true path. The main road comes."
"Master, with his foresight and far-sightedness, he will surely be able to open a road to peace for all generations." Xie Xuan said solemnly.
When Lin Chen heard this, he smiled indifferently: "Whether this path can be successful will have to go through the test of these long years. After all, it is not through countless practices that the final path to truth can be tested. "
"But I'm optimistic about you, and I believe you can find your own way."
"Master, Master!" Hearing these words and looking at Lin Chen's affirmative gaze, Xie Xuan opened his mouth, finally hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and bowed down.
"Master, I don't understand why you want to leave?"
Lin Chen looked at him, naturally it was impossible to tell the truth, but smiled slightly: "Of course it is to explore the world outside."
"But is the world outside so important?" Xie Xuan looked anxious and puzzled, "The world has just been settled, and we still need your guidance, Master. Besides, let us develop it properly, and we will be fine." Why explore the outside world when you have enough benefits?”
"Ah Xuan." Lin Chen said with a smile on his face, "Why do we want to explore the unknown world?"
"It's not because of how wonderful it might be, or how many benefits it might contain..."
"Why explore the unknown world? Not because of anything else, but because it is right there."
For some reason, looking at Lin Chen's eyes, Xie Xuan, who was originally ignorant, was faintly touched in his heart.
This feeling is like the yearning from the heart when you were young, knowing that there is a broader world in the future, which is almost uncontrollable.
"...Yes, Master." After a long silence, Xie Xuan knelt down and bowed respectfully, "I wish you a safe journey."
Lin Chen smiled and said nothing more. He looked at the sunset slowly falling on the horizon, and the fiery red clouds seemed to be reflected in his pupils.
——
As time passed, many mortals who heard the voice spread in all directions and practiced the inner alchemy method came hard.
Until one day, in the early morning, there was a flash of fish-belly white light in the sky, and a faint glow illuminated the heavy night.
Inside the pass, outside the pass, and on the hills, the four peaks were densely packed for a while, and they were crowded with climbing mortals, as if they all wanted to catch a glimpse of the great sage who had calmed down the eternal changes, but when the world was at peace, he bravely retreated from the rapids and left for a foreign land. .
when! when! when!
The majestic and mighty bells rang throughout the world.
The next moment, a figure appeared at the gate. Just like this, one step at a time, he flew up into the air. Under the exclamation of everyone, he walked in the air, and then sat cross-legged.
He was wearing a simple white robe, and his aura was ethereal and earthly. There was even a little spiritual light sprouting, which turned into a wonderful door behind him. It was absolutely wonderful.
"Let's meet the great sage master!"
The next moment, everyone in the venue, young or old, male or female, all looked solemn when they saw Lin Chen, stood up and bowed down.
This worship is not only for his identity, but also for his great achievements in creating a peaceful world and ending the chaos of the ages!
"Everyone, please stand up." Lin Chen's clear voice rang in everyone's ears. The next moment, they felt a force coming from below to lift everyone up.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, this skill was really amazing.
"I'm going to say goodbye and stay away from the mortal world. Before I leave, I will give you lectures and teach you the Dharma to help you open the way forward."
The next moment, the long voice echoed in the venue, with an indescribable charm, like the wind blowing in the bamboo forest or the spring falling on the bluestone, which made people peaceful both physically and mentally, and the words that were spoken seemed to be mixed with... The perfect principles of heaven and earth make people fascinated and intoxicated.
"The way to take the lead is the way of Gangqi. All things in the world, the rotation of the sun and the moon, the changes of the four seasons... all things cannot escape from the word Qi!"
"The most important thing is to take advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and earth, control the debate between the six qi, and swim infinitely. This is the way of Gangqi. The most important thing is to use one's own power to communicate with the six qi of the surrounding sky, so that all things can emerge..."
"Uncle, uncle, is this your way of strong energy?!" On the ground, the young man in black who met Lin Chen in the tea shed was dumbfounded when he heard these words and couldn't help but look at Xu Yue beside him.
Xu Yue, who had taken refuge in Taiping Dao, was even more surprised, because the great sage master in mid-air not only pointed out the essence of the Gang Qi path he created more clearly than he did, but also pointed out the future direction!
It is simply incredible to understand its nature and direction better than the one who opened the way!
"The next method is the curse of the witch nightmare. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a small insidious technique, but in our opinion, it has comprehended the true principles of the small world of life and the big body of heaven and earth, and controlled the seven The mutual influence and correlation between arts, so as to interfere with the human body's Qi..."
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but cry bitterly and said: "The way of the witch nightmare is the way to the sky, but I am obsessed with the method of sacrificing essence and blood. I have gone astray and exhausted my body. It is difficult to return, and the way is hopeless. ah……"
"The next method is Baodan Martial Arts..." Lin Chen continued in mid-air.
From the method of Gangqi, to the martial arts of holding pills, and even the newly created way of military spirit... From the shallower to the deeper, the essence of each path and the possible way forward are explained clearly.
Suddenly, some people were overjoyed, as if they were enlightened, and they were so surprised that they knelt down and worshiped.
Of course, more often than not, there are countless people who beat their chests, regret, and feel restless for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Chen stopped his sermon and struck the bronze bell in the air. The clear sound of the bell spread, as clear as a flowing spring, flowing slowly in everyone's hearts, calming their impetuous anger.
Afterwards, Lin Chen continued to speak. For a while, everyone put aside their original arrogance and recorded the knowledge imparted as if they had gained a treasure.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Chen’s voice stopped. Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly knelt down and said, “We thank the great virtuous master for preaching today!”
Facing the people below, Wu Yangyang knelt down with respectful expressions on his face, Lin Chen smiled instead: "The method of Gangqi, the magic of witches and nightmares, the illusion of dreams...the above are nothing more than trivial matters. Next, I will What is preached is the true path!”
"this!"
Everyone listened with surprise on their faces. All of the above are already transcendent from the ordinary world, and they will be able to touch the existence of immortality in the future. But in the mouth of the great sage and mentor, it turned out to be just a trail? !
"Dare I ask Master, what is the true Dao?!" Xie Xuan, who was originally just following the instructions, couldn't help but have a look of curiosity and surprise on his face, and asked loudly.
"The real great way, in my opinion, is nothing more than one sentence: study things to know, and demonstrate the truth to seek the Tao!"
"May I ask the great sage and wise master, what do you mean by this?"
"In my opinion, in Taoist terms, it is the way to observe the sky and the way to grasp the sky!"
At this moment, even Lin Chen's voice could not help but become solemn.
"One is the way of heaven! What is the way of heaven? It is the essence of creation, nature, the universe, etc. It is the principles and rules that have already existed between heaven and earth! The way of observing the sky is for us to discover and study these principles!"
"The two are, the journey of holding heaven! What is the journey of holding heaven? It is to observe the laws of nature, the principles and rules between heaven and earth, summarize the corresponding knowledge, and execute it in accordance with nature!"
"Observe the phenomena of things, study the principles of things, and thereby obtain knowledge. This is the so-called investigation of things to know!"
These words were a bit profound. Although everyone vaguely felt that Lin Chen had broken down the truth and explained it to everyone, everyone still felt it was mysterious.
Lin Chen did not care about the confusion in their hearts, but continued: "As for seeking the truth through empirical evidence, that is also very simple. That is to use your own personal practice to prove that the path you are taking is correct!"
"Experiencers are the only way to test the truth, it is unbreakable!"
"Studying things to gain knowledge and practicing to prove it is the true avenue, the avenue of science!"
"This..." After hearing this long speech, many people looked confused, but some people nodded subconsciously as if they had some understanding.
Compared to those who cheered, beat their chests, or suddenly realized something, the crowd now felt a little more confused and at a loss.
But Lin Chen looked at this scene and understood it clearly, but did not continue to say anything.
Since ancient times, monks have practiced cultivation. The method of cultivation is easy to obtain, but the way to heaven is difficult to find.
In fact, this is just like doing theory in his previous life, and doing technology. One is a technique, and the other is the true Tao.
The inner alchemy method is just a technique derived from the spiritual energy law he summarized.
And in summarizing the laws of spiritual energy, the inquiring and practical thinking used is the real way!
But the Great Way is difficult to understand. In past and present lives, how many people have stopped at its superficial form, and how many people can understand the thinking and insights within it?
Therefore, Lin Chen can come here to inherit the Tao, but whether he can truly achieve it depends on the individual!
After all, the great truth is so simple, whether you can understand it or not depends on yourself!
Lin Chen smiled silently and did not continue his sermon. Instead, he changed the topic and chuckled: "This time when I leave Hangu Pass in the west, I want to explore the outside world. I have to say goodbye today. I don't know when I can see you again. See you again, I hope you are all well!"
At this moment, everyone present seemed to have just woken up from a dream. One after another, they knelt down and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir, for preaching!"
"Thank you, great wise master, for clearing up our doubts!"
"Thank you, Master, for preaching here!"
Countless noisy, immature, thick, and magnetic voices overlapped together, and in the end, they formed a unanimous cry that resounded throughout the world:
"We are here. Thank you, sir, for coming to this world to teach me the truth!"
Lin Chen glanced down, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, but turned and left.
His lonely figure got further and further away in the dim light of the morning, until finally, he disappeared in the ray of morning sun.
Just after he disappeared, the sky where the sun was rising in the east was filled with purple clouds, covering thirty thousand miles.
It has been recorded in later generations that on this day, the sages came west from Hangu Pass, and the purple energy spread across thirty thousand miles, exploring the unknown world, and spreading the scientific road. Since then, these thousands of years of history have begun on this day. An unprecedented page!
