ps: I was not feeling well yesterday and I only wrote one chapter but the second half was not finished yet, so I have made some revisions. You can take a look.
After completing Qi refining, Yuding began to study Taoism when he had capital.
Yuan Hong was still fascinated by those Taoist techniques. Qingyun practiced sword practice every day and ran errands for Yuding.
Everyone's day was very fulfilling.
Half a month passed in a flash.
"Master, senior brother, please see me!" Qingyun came in to announce this day.
Yuding nodded.
Not long after, Yuan Hong followed Qingyun into Jinxia Cave.
"Master, I have written down all the techniques."
Yuan Hong held up the Heavenly Book of the Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills with both hands and said, "Now I am here to return the Heavenly Book."
"Yes!" Jade Cauldron nodded, and with a sweep of the dust in his hand, a magical force lifted up the Book of Heaven and fell into his hand.
After returning the Book of Heaven, Yuan Hong lingered and refused to leave.
"Is there anything else?" Yuding glanced at him.
After some ideological struggle, Yuan Hong said: "Master, if I have any questions, please ask me."
"What's the problem?" Yuding asked.
"Master, what is Tao?"
"Tao...what is it?" Yuding was stunned.
This question is a bit out of scope, and I don’t know how to answer it?
It seems that he needs to think carefully about how to deal with this matter, or how to seriously explain it to his disciple.
Although he has no real ability, he can't mislead others.
"Yes, the disciple has broken open the Heavenly Gate. After cultivating to the realm of returning to the void, in addition to accumulating mana, he should also seek the Tao. But the disciple doesn't even understand what the Tao is, so he can only come to ask for the teacher."
Yuan Hong looked ashamed, as if it took a lot of courage to ask this question.
"It's okay, this is the only way for every Qi practitioner to go through."
Yuding pondered for a moment and said: "What is Tao? I once had this doubt as a teacher."
"What happened next?"
"Listen up, the following passage may give you the answer."
Yuan Hong quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Tao can be said, but it is not Tao; it can be named, but it is not named. Wu is named the beginning of heaven and earth, and existence is named the mother of all things."
The jade tripod recited softly: "Therefore, there is always no desire in order to observe the wonders; there is always desire in order to observe the wonders. These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mysteries. Mysteries are mysteries, and they are the door to all mysteries."
After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Yuan Hong.
This is the Tao Te Ching, but it was not written down by Yuding in his previous life, but he found it in the library of the real person Yuding.
This first post is also his reply to Yuan Hong after careful consideration.
It's like a student asking a teacher a question, and the teacher gives him a reference answer sheet and tells him the answer you want is in it.
"Tao, Tao, Tao..."
Yuan Hong frowned and fell into deep thinking.
After a long time, Yuan Hong suddenly relaxed his brows, and the confusion in his eyes was swept away, and he became clear: "Master, I understand."
Yu Ding glanced at him in astonishment. Is this monkey so enlightened?
"only……"
Yuan Hong was not interested in business and said: "Master, where is this way?"
How do I know where the Tao is? I haven’t even realized what the Tao is.
Yu Ding glanced at Yuan Hong and said displeasedly: "Disciple, have you forgotten what I told you before?"
"Of course I dare not forget Master's teachings. I know that Master hopes that I will realize my own path."
Yuan Hong smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that this time I am really puzzled and don't know where the so-called Tao is... Master, I was wrong!"
But before he finished speaking, he saw Yu Ding sighing, and a familiar look of disappointment was about to appear on his face.
"No, you're not wrong."
Yuding shook his head and sighed: "It's just that my expectations for you are too high, that's all. I'll give you a little reminder."
Yuan Hong looked confused.
In his heart, he really wanted to say, Master, no need, I can figure it out myself.
However, he honestly chose to close his mouth.
Then Yuan Hong saw Yuding pointing upward, then pointing downward, and finally pointing at him again.
"Disciple, have you realized it now?"
Yuding looked at Yuan Hong kindly and asked softly.
If you can’t figure it out, then be good and go down and figure it out slowly!
Yuan Hong's brows furrowed again.
Master points to the top, the bottom, and himself... What does it mean?
Yuan Hong looked up and down, his thoughts divergent, considering the master's intentions.
Suddenly, Yuan Hong's body trembled, his eyes blazing and he said: "Master, I understand, I understand."
After saying that, he knelt down and said "bang bang bang" three times.
"What, you've realized it again?"
Qingyun Xianyuding on the side called out: "What have you realized?"
He also listened to Yuding’s words, but he didn’t understand anything!
Yu Ding was no less surprised than Qing Yun, but at this moment he still had an indifferent expression on his face: "What have you realized?"
"Master means up and down, which means heaven and earth, and means me, which means my heart."
Yuan Hong said happily: "Master's original intention is to say that it is both between heaven and earth and in my heart. Thank you very much, Master, for clearing up my disciple's doubts."
After saying this, his whole person's temperament suddenly changed, and he gained a transcendent charm.
"The heart is in harmony with the Tao...and the Tao is achieved?"
Yuding stared blankly at the apprentice in front of him, is this okay?
At this time, Yuan Hong can be said to have stepped into the realm of immortality, and is probably just one step away from becoming an immortal.
Yuding felt as if a lemon had been stuffed in his mouth, so sour!
Yuding was extremely envious.
call out!
At this time, suddenly, a spiritual light flew from the sky, got into the Jinxia Cave, and flew towards the Jade Cauldron.
"Master, be careful!"
Yuan Hong was shocked, jumped up, and grabbed the spiritual light in the air.
Unfortunately, he was still a little slow, and the jade slip passed in front of him and flew straight towards the jade tripod.
"Master!" Yuan Hong exclaimed.
Then, he could only watch the aura flying towards the master, and finally... stopped in front of the master?
Yuan Hong looked stunned.
Yes, that spiritual light floated quietly in front of the jade tripod. The light was restrained and turned into a jade slip.
All this is a long story, but it only happened in a short moment.
"Huh?" He blinked at the jade tripod stopped in front of him.
Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level, the faster the reaction.
The jade slip came so quickly that he didn't even react for a moment.
Among the three of them, only Yuan Hong, who had the highest level of cultivation, reacted, but he was a beat or two too late.
As for him and Qingyun, they probably have to shoot seven or eight times.
Qingyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is a jade slip for transmitting messages. Someone should be sending messages to the master."
Oh, is this the Jade Slip of Sound Transmission?
Yuding and Yuan Hong thought at the same time.
I have seen this jade tripod in books, but this is the first time I have seen it in person.
Suddenly, Yuan Hongruo cupped his fists and said calmly: "Well, Master, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."
Yuding said in surprise: "Don't you have a question that you want to ask for help?"
Yuan Hong said: "This disciple suddenly felt something interesting."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of Jinxia Cave without looking back.
What a shame!
He didn't even recognize the jade slips that conveyed the sound, which led to such a big joke in front of the master.
I guess that little brat Qingyun will make fun of this for a long time.
But...Master is Master, and his concentration is so high!
The things were all in front of his eyes, and the demeanor on his face didn't change at all.
Jade Cauldron raised his hand to take the jade slip, and a gentle and magnetic voice immediately came from the jade slip:
"Junior brother, I have refined two furnaces of elixir for my brother. I will bring it to you in two days. Is there anything else you want?"
It’s Master Taiyi’s voice!
Yuding was overjoyed and asked Taiyi to help him see if there was anything wrong with the Yuan Gong he was practicing.
Qingyun smiled and said: "Master Taiyi is coming!"
Yuding also smiled, just smiling, and his smile gradually disappeared.
He remembered something.
Because the leader of Tongtian Cult's religion was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the atmosphere was so smoky that the members of the Chan Cult were disgusted with the house and the black clouds, and disliked aliens.
In Chanjiao, there are very few disciples who practice different kinds of things like plants, trees, birds and animals.
If Master Taiyi arrives and sees his apprentice Yuan Hong...
Has this day finally come?
ps: Haha, Yuding’s first apprentice is finally coming out.
Thank you all for your recommendation votes. I would like to ask one more question, is there anything else? whee!
