"With your way, my way will be born; with my way, your way will be born; the ways will grow from each other, and the ways will complement each other; the ways will blend together to witness the great road."
Zhao Ping studied Dong Qichang's calligraphy in his previous life and liked his ethereal and elegant style.
At this time, he was still young, had limited wrist strength, and acted very clumsily, but he already had a vague taste or two.
In fact, Taoism is also a philosophy from a certain perspective. For example, the "Book of Changes" can be said to be an extremely mysterious and difficult to understand philosophy. Its profoundness and philosophy far exceed those of later so-called Western philosophical masters such as Hegel, Kant, and Nietzsche.
Because for more than two thousand years, only Confucius commented on it.
Lu Zu's four-sentence Taoist question is also a question full of philosophy.
This verse is indeed difficult to answer for most people, but for Zhao Ping, it is not a big problem, because in his previous life, Zhao Ping had already formed his own unique philosophical view - natural balance - when he was twenty years old. Argument.
Some of his views and opinions were even adopted by a professor at Peking University, and he was invited to attend the World Balance Philosophy Academic Seminar held by the Yingjie Exchange Center of Peking University.
Therefore, after Zhao Ping thought about it, he used his own philosophy to answer Lu Zu's questions, and proposed the generation, growth, teaching, enlightenment, etc. of Tao from his own perspective.
Seeing calligraphy that she had never seen before, and a reply full of spirituality and understanding, my mother almost made a sound, and immediately covered her mouth tightly with her hands, looking at Zhao Ping with wide eyes.
Is this really my son?
Have you really met a god?
Taoist boy Qingfeng felt like he had found a treasure. He waited for the ink to dry slightly, blew it with his mouth, then packed it up and immediately sent it to the crazy Taoist priest.
Hearing someone answer a verse, the mad Taoist suddenly no longer looked crazy. He straightened his clothes and suddenly turned into a fairy-like Taoist!
Before Qingfeng presented it, he had already grabbed the post and was eager to recite it: "With your way, my way will be born; with my way, your way will be born; Ways and paths generate each other, paths and paths complement each other; paths and paths merge. , witness the avenue.”
After finishing the recitation, the crazy Taoist priest suddenly slapped the Eight Immortals table, cheered loudly, and then immediately said to Qingfeng: "Why didn't I think of it? Is it possible that God is like this? Okay! Okay! Okay! Let the boy be brought immediately so that I can take a look."
Under the jealous and murderous eyes of many people, Zhao Ping followed Qingfeng to the guest room.
Zhao Ping only saw a man in his thirties. Although he was slovenly, he still had a jade-like face and red lips. He had a sword slanted on his back and three long beards. His whole body could not be described as immortal.
However, when he saw his ugly appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head. Finally, he sighed, waved his hand to Qingfeng and said, "Take him to try. How good he is is up to him."
As expected, Sick Yangzi didn't like to be seen. He sat down slumped, took a sip from the gourd of wine, sighed, his eyes were blank, and returned to his original cynical look.
Obviously he is not very satisfied with himself!
Zhao Ping followed the breeze to the empty palace and felt some uncontrollable trembling all over his body.
He finally remembered that the original owner of his body was injured here. It seemed that he wanted to see the god in his mind here, but as a result, he got into an argument with someone, and suddenly hit the back of his head against a hard object and passed out.
There is a staircase here that leads directly to the top of the empty hall. Seeing him looking at it, Qingfeng said, "This is the passage leading to Lu Zu's cultivation, but you can't enter the passage without the guidance of the path."
After saying that, he activated his internal strength, exhaled and hit a stone wall on the top of the empty hall. Soon he heard a "squeaking" sound like grinding teeth coming from the passage.
The diameter of this stone wall passage is about one foot, and it is dark inside, just enough for one person to enter.
Qingfeng glanced at Zhao Ping and said in a positive tone: "This is the only passage and the only opportunity. And if you go wrong, the opportunity will be lost."
Zhao Ping couldn't help being surprised and asked in confusion: "What is the only chance?"
Qingfeng looked at him carefully, sighed and said, "You know, the place you are going to is the training cave of our ancestor, Chunyangzi."
Zhao Ping glanced at Qingfeng and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then why don't you go up?"
Qingfeng glanced at Zhao Ping in admiration, and then replied calmly: "Because you can only get this opportunity if you answer the verses of the ancestor. It is the arrangement of the ancestor. Remember, there are only two hours, otherwise, the passage will automatically closure."
Forget it, in order to become a true disciple of the gods and to satisfy his mother, Zhao Ping gritted his teeth, climbed up the stairs, and climbed in slowly.
The slope of the passage was not large at first, and there was still a faint light, which made Zhao Ping feel relieved, but then the light completely disappeared. His bent body felt that the slope was gradually rising, and his hands seemed to be a little wet.
The darkness in front of him frightened him and made him want to retreat.
Zhao Ping finally did not retreat. At this time, he felt that he was crawling in a vertical passage.
Fortunately, he found shoe prints on both sides of the passage and crawled up along the shoe prints. It was estimated that he was about six feet high when he felt something was pressing on his head. At this time, he felt that he could not hold on and had only the thought of retreating, but In order to complete the lie, stick to it.
Panting and resting for dozens of breaths, he tried his best to support himself with his right hand and stroked his left hand everywhere. He finally found a wooden bolt, but was unable to pull it away.
He changed his left hand to his right hand and used his last strength to pull out the cover. As expected, light poured in from above. Although it was a little dark, it was enough for him to see clearly.
Feeling that he had strength again, he pushed open the lid, climbed out of the passage, and sat on the ground, gasping for air. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be in the middle of the second floor, and the light came from the room outside.
Zhao Ping came to the brightly lit room, which was a huge cave entrance. He leaned down and looked down. He could already see the stone steps where he came from the test. The people on the road below became the size of ants.
He suddenly felt dizzy. There was no railing here, and he almost fell down. He hurriedly got down, his feet still shaking. This god's test was too dangerous.
If the two tests just now were tests of physical strength and intelligence, then now it is a test of courage.
Apparently Zhao Ping has passed the test.
But where do the immortals practice?
Zhao Ping saw that there were five rooms above, but he didn't see anything, and they looked very empty.
It was impossible for Qingfeng to deceive himself, but where was Lu Zu practicing?
There was a very dark room next to the room that Zhao Ping came in from below.
Zhao Ping opened the fire folder and took a closer look. It was still empty, with nothing in it.
Are you going back like this?
Zhao Ping shook his head, and touched and touched this room. He felt a little movement, and pushed hard, and slowly pushed it open with a squeaking sound.
It turns out that this is a stone gate formed by dividing the stone wall.
Pushing open the stone door, Zhao Ping saw that there were three doors in the cave house inside. One door said chaos, one door said clean air, and the other door said turbid air.
This is a multiple-choice question in Lu Zu's assessment, and there is only one chance. Which one should you choose?
Zhao Pingshou hesitated for a few times, because Qingfeng once said that there is only one chance!
He took a deep breath and suddenly thought that when Pangu opened the world, there was chaos first, and then there was clear air and turbid air, so he closed his eyes and pushed open the door of chaos.
Opening the door, it was still an empty cave house.
Now there are still three doors in front, which are respectively written with clear qi, turbid qi and true qi.
This really tests your wisdom. If you take the wrong opportunity, you will lose it, but which one is it?
Zhao Ping thought about it and realized that what Taoist priests practiced was true energy, so he chose true energy.
After pushing it open, there was still an empty cave house. There were still two doors in front, one with the words "Niantian" and the other with "Nurture" written on it.
It’s time to test your wisdom again.
Zhao Ping thought about it and realized that he had no foundation, so he chose the day after tomorrow.
When you push it open, you can see that this room has a stone bed, a clay pot, and an alchemy stove.
