"Brother Lu, are you really not leaving together?"
At the door of the Taoist temple, Sun Siwen and Kong Yuzhu stood outside the door, looking at Lu Yuan bidding him farewell inside the door, and asked again.
Both of them decided to return to the city this afternoon. However, his friend who came with him told him that he was not planning to go back so soon, which made him slightly surprised.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Brother Sun and fellow Taoist Kong should go back first. I still have a lot of confusion in my heart and need to ask fellow Taoist Qi Yun for advice, so I will stay here for a few more days."
During this day and a half of discussion, he solved many confusions and learned a lot. But only half of the confusion in my mind has been eliminated, and there are still many questions that need to be learned.
So I plan to stay and wait until the confusion is answered before leaving.
Anyway, there is food and accommodation here, and fellow Taoist Qi Yun's cooking skills make Lu Yuan admire him. There is another true cultivator who explains scriptures to me and explains my doubts. This kind of life is not to mention very comfortable and carefree.
After staying there for less than two days, he was already addicted to it.
Sun Siwen said helplessly: "Okay."
"Just live there. It's better to study Taoist scriptures in a Taoist temple than to teach girls to sing in Hongfeng Tower." After all, I learned well, not bad things. '
Sun Jushi thought this in his heart, and finally went down the mountain with Kong Yuzhu.
…
After bidding farewell to his friend, Lu Yuan headed back to the Taoist temple to seek advice from Taoist Qi Yun.
There is no Taoism meeting today.
After leaving the Taoist friend Kong Yuzhu, relying solely on the Taoist teachings of the new "taoist friend" Lu Yuan was obviously not enough to discuss Taoism with Taoist Qi Yun.
The relationship between the two is more like a teacher and a student.
The students were asking, the teacher was answering, and then the confusion and confusion slowly disappeared one by one.
Lu Yuan has been studying scriptures for four years and has read hundreds of Taoist scriptures. During this period, he has encountered countless confusions.
To say tens of thousands is an exaggeration, but there are still hundreds.
Today and yesterday, the three sessions on Taoism only solved twenty or thirty of the confusions.
He still has more questions, waiting for the teacher to answer them.
Fortunately, Taoist Qi Yun, as a teacher, has a strong moral quality and is not impatient. He explains every problem carefully.
And the answers are also to the point, giving people a sense of enlightenment.
Lu Yuan studied with such a teacher, and his Taoist literacy quickly increased. His body and mind felt purified, and he felt himself transformed.
This made him realize that once he met a famous teacher, he would cherish this learning opportunity even more.
Taoist Qi Yun is also very satisfied with his student.
First of all, let’s not talk about the understanding. His attitude towards learning and his belief in seeking the truth made him admire him endlessly.
If he hadn't known that he was not qualified to accept the other party as his disciple, he would have really wanted to entrust him with all his mantle.
But even so, he treated Lu Yuan as his disciple and taught him conscientiously and responsibly. Except for the aspects related to the inheritance of Guanzhong, there is basically no secret at all.
…
Studying time always flies by.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan stayed in Qingyun Temple for a month.
During this period, Sun Siwen was worried and took advantage of Xiu Mu's opportunity to visit him. After seeing that he was fine and had no intention of becoming a monk, he left with peace of mind.
Of course Lu Yuan had no intention of becoming a monk.
He practices Taoist scriptures in order to improve his martial arts, and to improve his martial arts is to improve his life-saving means and enjoy freedom better.
Under this premise, it was naturally impossible for Lu Yuan to abandon prosperity and choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and become a monk.
After all, Taoist priests like Taoist Qi Yun and others become monks and practice in order to stay away from the harassment of the mortal world, so that they can practice Taoism with more concentration, ascend to immortality, and live a long life.
But now Lu Yuan is immortal.
Qi Yun's lifelong pursuit is just his starting point.
Countless ascetics have already achieved the greatest pursuit of achievement, so naturally they no longer need to pursue the immortality they already have through ascetic cultivation, becoming a monk, etc.
Lu Yuan stayed in the Taoist temple, not seeking immortality. But Qi Yun and other Taoist priests think that it is just a small way to protect the Tao.
But all learning has its time.
After a month of asking for advice, all the confusions accumulated in Lu Yuan's heart were finally answered.
Now that he has confidence, he will have no difficulty in practicing the Qi-Building Heart Sutra. The seventh and eighth meridians recorded in the Heart Method can even be practiced directly.
As for the following several serious sutras, there are also two strange sutras. As the study deepens, one can gradually understand Tonghui.
Having accomplished his studies and achieved the purpose of his trip, Lu Yuan promptly resigned from Taoist Qi Yun.
It's not that he is not ready to learn from this teacher.
Instead, I was going to go back and study the Taoist scriptures for a while.
After you have gained some experience and accumulated some confusing questions, you can come back to this teacher for advice.
After all, I am not Taoist Qi Yun's apprentice, so I can't always stay in someone else's house and let the other person really teach me like he teaches his own apprentice, which is a waste of the other person's time.
Although Taoist Qi Yun didn't say anything, Lu Yuan felt that he still needed to have such a strong number.
After all, Taoist Qi Yun also wants to become an immortal.
Although it is not clear whether the other party can become an immortal.
But there is no doubt that if Taoist Qi Yun spends his time teaching Lu Yuan, his time for cultivating immortality will be reduced accordingly.
Lu Yuan stays here and takes up the other person's time. Doesn't this violate the other person's original intention of going to the mountains to escape from the world?
"Are you leaving now?"
This is also true. Facing Lu Yuan who came to ask for his resignation, Master Qi Yun sighed with emotion and did not do much to persuade him to stay. He just warned: "Fellow Daoist Lu's innate Taoist heart is the best I have ever seen.
Your celestial bond is also very deep, and your future success is determined to be greater than mine.
I hope you can live up to this destiny and seek immortality. By then, you might be able to help me a little bit.
This is my fairy fate. "
Taoist Qi Yun was very open-minded, half joking and half sincere.
In fact, it was out of expectations for Lu Yuan that he taught him so carefully.
Otherwise, just relying on the so-called student's strong desire to learn and being very pleasing to the eye will not be enough to make him achieve this step.
Lu Yuan said seriously: "If I achieve success in the future, I will never forget the kindness of my Taoist friends today."
Faced with such a teacher who taught him carefully, he was extremely grateful and mindful.
Taoist Qi Yun suddenly said happily: "Wonderful, wonderful. Your words are enough."
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go, go. The mountains are not suitable for you, your world is outside."
"Pindao takes his leave."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan stood up and saluted him, then turned and left.
As Taoist Qi Yun said, this narrow Taoist temple in the mountains belongs to Qi Yun. This is the freedom of the other party.
It doesn't belong to him.
The vast world and prosperous world outside are your own freedom.
