"The Tao can be the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name can be the name, but it is not the eternal name. The nameless beginning of all things is the name of the mother of all things. Therefore: there is always no desire, so as to observe its slenderness; there is always desire, so as to Look at what they are talking about. They come from the same place, have different names and the same name. Mysterious and mysterious, they are the door to all wonders."
Wei Xuanzang was sitting in a quiet room, with three people sitting in front of him, Li Xuan, Lingxin and Yin Sizhen, preaching in a deep voice.
Although the Tao Te Ching of many Taoist sects in the world is no different from the secular Tao Te Ching, among the esoteric Taoist sects, there are still some ancient Tao Te Chings preserved.
After all, it is taboo for the emperor to avoid some taboos.
Li Xuan was sitting in the center, and Wei Xuanzang's enlightenment-like voice clearly reached his ears, making him clearly understand where his problem lay.
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they regard all things as rotten dogs. Sages are unkind, and they regard the people as rotten dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it like a chariot and a chariot? It is empty but not yielding, and becomes more and more when it moves. It is better to stay in the middle after hearing many things and being poor." Wei Xuanzang's voice was like the sound of a small river flowing in Li Xuan's ears.
Heaven, earth, and saints are all unkind. It is better to guard oneself than to guard oneself.
Li Xuan's left and right palms instantly straightened.
Heaven and earth, saints, all refer to the emperor.
In the Tang Dynasty, the royal family surnamed Li traced its descendants from Laozi, and even named Laozi as Emperor Xuanyuan.
When a sage looks south to rule the world, he must start from the path of humanity.
Therefore, the emperor was used to being revered as a saint, and they were happy about it.
After all, comparing themselves to saints always gives them the illusion of immortality.
All things, including the common people, are nothing but rotten dogs in their eyes.
The same is true for princes, nobles, civil and military officials.
The reason why Li Xuan's path has deviated is because during his time in Luoyang, he gradually deviated from the focus he had always maintained.
The only thing his Luoyang party did right was to present medicine that could cure wind diseases to the emperor.
If he expected it right, this should be the most useful.
After Prince Li Hong died of illness, Li Zhi personally handled many affairs. Although Empress Wu plundered power, it was within controllable limits.
Except for the medicine, Li Xuan's subsequent involvement in Tianyin Sect affairs, solving the murder case of Master Xingyi, etc. were all putting the cart before the horse.
Even a little off-putting.
Li Zhi did not want others to continue to dig deeper on this matter.
What exactly the group of mages, Yang Shangshan and others are studying and how they are studying are things the emperor does not want people to know.
Some of the chaos of unknown origin that Li Xuan encountered was most likely controlled by the emperor behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Li Xuan also did a lot of things to satisfy the emperor, such as standing in line to express his position above Qianyang Hall, and finding the underground secret passage of Shendu Garden, which were all helpful.
There were several times where he expressed his loyalty to the Tai Palace and the Shangqing Palace, and this was how Li Xuan was given the post of being a special agent in Wuzhou today.
This is the result of standing on the side of the emperor.
Teacher Wei Xuanzang was right, there was no need for Li Xuan to do so much.
He only needs to go to Luoyang with the kings, donate medicine, stand in line to express his position, live in Shendu Garden and find the underground secret passage.
There is no need to participate in the bad things of Tianyin Sect to achieve better results than this.
The path he took was indeed a bit off.
Although Wei Xuanzang had never met him before, he knew everything about him.
In just a few words, Li Xuan and Wei Xuanzang had exchanged too much information.
Lingxin and Yin Sizhen on the side did not hear anything unusual.
"Heaven and earth last forever. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is because it does not generate itself, so it can live forever. This is because the saint retreats from his body and puts himself first, and exists outside his body. He does not give selflessly, so he can achieve his selfishness. "At this point, Wei Xuanzang suddenly stopped and looked at Li Xuan: "Lingji, do you have anything in mind?"
"Yes, Master!" Li Xuan looked at Wei Xuanzang sincerely and said softly: "The scripture says: Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
Wei Xuanzang smiled, nodded and said: "The God of Grain is immortal, it is called Xuan Ni, the gate of Xuan Ni.
, is the root of heaven and earth. If it persists, it will not be used diligently. "
"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed deeply.
Wei Xuanzang's words were like an enlightenment to him, and he suddenly became enlightened.
This may sound irrelevant, but it expresses all Li Xuan's thoughts.
Heaven, emperor, earth, queen, and people are themselves.
Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
"Master, senior brother, what riddles are you talking about? I can't understand a word of it." Lingxin's face was filled with satisfaction and confusion. He was dizzy after hearing what Li Xuan and Wei Xuanzang said and didn't understand the truth at all.
Yin Sizhen on the side raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Uncle Master practices the Jiujiang Meridian Sutra. Maybe he should go to the field to observe."
Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Yin Sizhen with a half-smile: "I'm afraid my nephew has forgotten that my uncle was granted the title of King of Nanchang, and his fiefdom is in Hongzhou on the right side of the Yangtze River."
Jiangyou and Jiujiang are almost all around Li Xuan's fiefdom. He can go to any place at any time for on-the-spot inspections.
What's more, not long ago, there was a severe drought in Jiangyou. Li Xuan traveled throughout Hongzhou, praying for rain and offering sacrifices to the Dragon King.
Are there any major rivers that he has not visited?
"The highest good is like water. Water is good for all things and has tranquility. It is disliked by everyone, so it is close to the Tao."
Wei Xuanzang's words drew the attention of the three of them back, but his eyes always fell on Li Xuan, saying word by word: "Living in a good place, having a good heart, giving good deeds, speaking good faith, and governing well." "You can do good things, and you can do good things at the right time."
Li Xuan immediately held up his hands and replied in a deep voice: "I don't want to fight, so I don't care."
"Your Majesty, the subordinates know about it, secondly, praise it personally, thirdly, fear it, subordinates, insult it, lack of trust, if there is a case, don't believe it, youhe, it is your noble words. I succeed in doing things, and the people say that I am natural ." Wei Xuanzang's instructions, word for word, were exactly what Li Xuan was thinking.
"Here!" Li Xuan leaned over deeply. This was Wei Xuanzang's view of heaven and earth, and his view of the world.
What Li Xuan can understand is a trend.
The water is big, it is powerful, the people are strong, it is powerful, it is like, affection, fear, insult, trust, and words.
Based on the situation, choose the best place, remain calm and unfathomable, be sincere, friendly, selfless, trustworthy, streamline government affairs, give full play to your strengths, and seize the opportunity.
Those who are good at defending are hiding under the Nine Earths, and those who are good at attacking are moving above the Nine Heavens.
This is a reminder for how he will behave in the future.
If you can do this, you'll be fine.
It is also said that no one in the world can compete with him.
This is true for people, and this is also true for practice.
Finally, Wei Xuanzang said seriously: "The sky will be clear, the earth will be peaceful, the gods will be spiritual, the grains will be full, and the princes will think the world is right. Be careful."
"Here!" Li Xuan accepted the lesson solemnly. He seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere.
Twelve volumes of Bing Jia Martial Arts?
"Okay, that's it for today!" Wei Xuanzang waved his hand and said softly: "You must be busy with a lot of things these days. You just need to come here before leaving the capital of gods. Go!"...
"Disciple, take your orders!" Li Xuan bowed deeply, then backed away.
The spiritual heart was not sent out, but Yin Sizhen withdrew with a thoughtful look on his face. He didn't know what he heard from Wei Xuanzang's words.
Taoism is mysterious, personal self-enlightenment, different situations, different understandings.
Li Xuan didn't say anything. He was also sorting out his thoughts. With so many experiences and things he had done before, there were many things that were unnecessary and needed to be eliminated, and there were many aspects that still needed to be made up for.
"Uncle Master!" Yin Sizhen came to her senses and spoke quickly. Li Xuan stopped and looked at Yin Sizhen in surprise.
"Congratulations to my uncle for taking office in Wuzhou." At this point, Yin Sizhen pleaded a little: "My nephew was born in Chang'an and has never been to the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder if I can accompany my uncle on his trip to the southeast this time. The teacher has an order. My nephew rushed to Kuozhou with birthday gifts. It was my ancestor’s eightieth birthday. My mentor couldn’t make it back, so he had to do it for me.”
"Senior Brother Luofu lives in Kuozhou?" Li Xuan was suddenly stunned.
He used to know that Ye Fashan, the master of Luofu, was the master of Maoshan, but he never thought that he was from Kuozhou.
Kuozhou is on the side of Wuzhou, and together with Yuezhou, Taizhou, Quanzhou and Jianzhou, it belongs to the Yuezhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.
"The Ye family is a big family in Songyang, Kuozhou. The family is prosperous. This is my ancestor's eightieth birthday, which is also a grand event in Songyang. I wonder if I can invite my uncle to come. The Ye family will definitely be prosperous." Yin Sizhen said with a sincere face. Li Xuan looked slightly relaxed.
"Senior Brother Luofu asked you to come, don't worry, I will definitely go and feel happy this time."
Li Xuan smiled, and then said with deep meaning: "But I will leave in three days, so my nephew must be well prepared."
"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew is alone and has nothing else. I'll ask my uncle to prepare the rest."
