After Murong Chengzhang and the others left, Feng Qi walked up to Guanshi Qizheng and asked, "Sir, you are waiting here specially. What advice do you have?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "Since the Dao Zang was listed, the scriptures selected for the Dao Zang have been revised several times. There are many differences between the current Dao Zang and the original version, but its core books have not been changed, especially the last ten volumes, which have not been changed. Even one word says that you have read through the Dao Zang before you were sixteen years old. With such a talent, how can I teach you anything else?"
Feng Qi said, "Then why are you waiting here?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "I came here to discuss the Tao."
Feng Qi said: "Although Ji Palace is closed, the family has not been wiped out. If you want to talk about Taoism, sir, there seems to be no shortage of people in Ji Palace."
Although there is little news about Ji Palace, it is different from Zen after all, and the world still has some understanding of the current situation of Ji Palace.
There are many so-called great Confucian scholars in Ji Palace. Even if the scope is narrowed down to scholars who are close to the way of heaven, there are only three to five. It is illogical to go all the way north just to discuss the way.
"The way I am discussing has nothing to do with Ji Palace." Guanshi Qizheng said: "Since this trip is for the sake of the prince, naturally it is to discuss the way of the prince."
Feng Qi felt that Guanshi Qizheng's words were somewhat interesting and asked, "What do you want to say, sir? You're not here to teach me how to become a qualified prince, are you?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "On how to become a qualified Crown Prince, King Yanbei will teach you. What I want to discuss is the avenue that the Crown Prince wants to pursue."
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that sir knows that I joined Xueyun Sect?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "Some time ago, I got a glimpse of the list of Lingyun List, and I actually found the name of the Crown Prince in it."
Lingyun corresponds to the romantic world, and the world corresponds to the mortal world.
Feng Qi said: "Xiaoyao Pavilion announced the list so soon?"
Guanshi Qizheng asked: "It's just the preliminary ranking, it hasn't been announced yet... Isn't the prince curious where you are ranked?"
Feng Qi said: "I won't fall out of the top three."
His battle with Fengshenwei, no matter how it went, he always won in the end, which was an advantage over anyone on the Lingyun List.
If the ranking of the romantic list may involve various factors, then the Lingyun list will be relatively fair.
It only looked at combat prowess. There might be people with similar combat prowess to Feng Qi in the same realm, but they did not have the same impressive record to back them up.
Without combat effectiveness, it is empty talk.
Therefore, Feng Qi will not fall out of the top three on the Lingyun Ranking.
Guanshi Qizheng smiled for the first time, "What the prince said is true, you are ranked third in Lingyun, second only to Liyuan Daozi Mingtai and Qianrenfeng swordsman Zhou Zihan."
Feng Qi said: "What does this have to do with my Tao?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "Of course it has something to do with it. When you were less than sixteen years old, you not only read through the Taoist canon, but also practiced such powerful skills at the same time. As far as I know, you are good at Buddhism, sword skills and spear skills. His achievements are all superior to those of his peers, and in my opinion, this has exceeded the scope of talent.”
Feng Qi was slightly startled and asked, "If it's not talent, what does it count?"
Guanshi Qizheng said: "I really didn't think of it before, but seeing you today, I have some guesses."
Feng Qi said: "Since it is just a guess, there is no need to say anything."
Guanshi Qizheng asked: "That's what I meant, but the prince hasn't answered my question yet."
The green sandalwood trees on both sides of the official road shook slightly and made a rustling sound.
Feng Qi was silent for a while and said: "I am a little curious about the way of heaven. This is true, but what I am most curious about is actually the starry sky."
Guanshi Qizheng said calmly, "When you look up, you will see the starry sky."
Feng Qi said: "No, what you see when you look up is only the sky, not the starry sky."
Guanshi Qizheng thought for a while and said: "The world is the fairyland stretching across the sky, the sky is beneath the sky, and the stars are in the sky. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times."
Feng Qi said: "The Nine Volumes and Ten Chapters of Baicaoyuan, this has indeed remained unchanged since ancient times, but it is not necessarily the truth."
Guanshi Qizheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, do you think Baicaoyuan is wrong?"
Feng Qi said: "Breaking the Sky is the Immortal Realm. There have been many people who ascended in the mainland, but none of them have come back."
Guanshi Qizheng understood what Feng Qi meant, "So you think that since no one has been to that place personally, we cannot say that the stars are in the sky?"
Feng Qi said: "Seeing may not be believing, and the stars may not be under the sky."
Guanshi Qizheng thought for a while, "So your goal is to fly to immortality?"
Feng Qi said: "Now that we have embarked on this path, how can we not want to fly to the immortal world?"
Guanshi Qizheng was silent for a while and then asked: "What do you think is the meaning of cultivating Taoism?"
The answer to this question is very broad. Dugu Feiyun believes that the meaning of cultivating Tao is to protect the common people, Li Jinxing believes that the meaning of cultivating Tao is to become stronger, Wei Sanmu believes that the meaning of cultivating Tao is to survive... Daoyuan Continent Perpetual Calendar has answered this There are as many people asking questions as there are stars in the sky and quicksand on the bottom of the sea, but no one has a definite answer.
Feng Qi didn't think he could give a definite answer.
But he can give the answer he has in mind.
"Isn't the meaning of cultivating Taoism itself?" Feng Qi said softly: "No matter the ultimate goal is to become stronger or survive, or to protect the common people and rule the roost forever, but if it deviates from the main line of cultivating Taoism, then what will happen? What’s the point?”
"The significance of cultivating Taoism... lies in cultivating Taoism itself." Guanshi Qizheng said thoughtfully, "The prince threw himself under Wuhenfeng's sect, but he upheld the thoughts of Taixuan Mountain, which is somewhat interesting."
"I have always chosen the Three Thousand Avenues based on my heart, and I cannot say that I adhere to anyone's ideas." Feng Qi shrugged, "To be honest, I prefer the ideas of Xueyun Sect."
