A knife in love

Chapter 2125
Seeing this situation, Murong Danyan was terrified, couldn't help but slow down, and moved a few steps cautiously to the right, wanting to stay away from this dead tree, as if worried that those dead branches would fall down, piercing like a sharp sword. on her.After she had walked a few feet, she was about to go around the dead tree, when she suddenly heard a chuckle, and then someone said in a soft voice: "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid you're wrong. You said 'empty and Unyielding, move and get better. Too many words and too many words, it is better to stay in the middle." These two sentences teach people to follow the golden mean, and they should not only seek rapid progress in doing things, but should weigh the interests and make decisions. But the younger sister thinks that this sentence The key lies in the four characters of "unyielding" and "surviving". Lao Tzu said that one should not be afraid of hardships and dangers in doing things, and become stronger when confronted with strength. As for the last two sentences, it seems to be saying that one should talk less and do more. If you say It’s better to do nothing than to do more.”

Murong Danyan didn't expect that there was someone here, and hearing the voice was still a woman, he was startled and hurriedly stopped.This woman's speech is mixed and full of mystery, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, she must not understand what she is saying.However, when Murong Danyan followed Murong Qiushui to practice the Murong family's sword skills, Murong Qiushui explained to her the profound meaning of the way of swordsmanship, often citing scriptures and songs, and often mentioning what Laozi and Zhuangzi said.These two ancestors of Taoism are not only proficient in Taoism, but also two masters of martial arts, and their martial arts have reached perfection.The words and phrases left by the two often coincide with the most important principles of martial arts, so if a person who learns swords can understand the essence of what Lao and Zhuang said, he will definitely be able to make great progress and make further progress.When Murong Qiushui was teaching swordsmanship, Murong Danyan was asked to familiarize himself with the "Tao Te Ching" written by Laozi and the "Nanhua Jing" written by Zhuangzi, so as to understand the way of martial arts.So when Murong Danyan listened to the woman's words, he immediately recognized that the two sentences she quoted came from the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu.These two sentences are used in the way of swordsmanship to teach people that when they use the sword, they must combine reality with reality, and stick to the mean, just like a boulder hanging from the top, and encountering strong winds and rainstorms, but the boulder can only move when it follows the righteous way. Moving, dangerous but not dangerous, it is extremely mysterious.Although these few sentences sound simple, they have profound meanings. If Murong Qiushui hadn't explained it in detail, Murong Danyan would not be able to fully understand the meaning.

Murong Danyan was shocked when he heard the woman's words, and thought to himself that this place is so desolate, how could someone hide here and recite famous lines from "Tao Te Ching"?Right now, I can only hear his voice, but I can't see where the speaker is hiding. Could it be that someone deliberately teased me, trying to harm me?

Thinking of this, Murong Dan's heart shuddered, and his right hand holding the hilt of the sword became more and more forceful.At this moment, I heard a man laughing and saying: "Sister, I don't know something. To understand the deep meaning of this sentence, you need to know what I said in my life. When you read this passage, you can't see it, so you understand it. It's not self-righteous." If you don’t attack yourself, you will be meritorious. If you are not self-confident, you will grow up. If you don’t compete with your husband, the world will not be able to compete with it. The ancient so-called music is complete, is it a lie? It is sincere and complete. This sentence Words are the most important part of the Taoism founded by Lao Tzu. And "the husband does not contend, so the world cannot compete with him" is the most important thing in this sentence. If the girl understands the deep meaning of this sentence, the whole book of morality The problems in the scriptures can be easily solved, and the achievements in the future should be limitless."

The man's voice fell, only to hear the woman in front laughing: "Brother Zhao, I don't know where I heard this high opinion?"

The man smiled, and said: "Half a year ago, I went to Fengyue Mountain to collect herbs, and I met a Taoist priest from the pass. This man was ugly, dressed in rags, and drunk all day long. He lived in Ziyang, Fengyue Mountain. In the temple, there is nothing else to do except eat and sleep every day. The Taoist priests in the Ziyang Temple hated him and tried to drive him away many times, but they couldn't do anything. They called him a sloppy Taoist behind his back.

"One day a distinguished guest came to the Ziyang Temple and wanted to hold a big ceremony in the temple to pray for his ancestors. This distinguished guest gave Ziyang Temple 200 taels of silver, which immediately caused a sensation in the twenty or thirty monasteries and monasteries on Fengyue Mountain. Taoist temple. The eyes of those monks and Taoist priests were red, and many abbots and temple masters regretted not taking this great event in their hands..."

When the man said this, he only heard the woman give a "puchi" smile, and said in his mouth: "Ah, I can't imagine that these eminent monks who have attained the Tao, the masters outside the world, are so snobbish. It's really chilling."

The man smiled and said: "Whether it is the Sanqing or the Buddha, it is all about teaching people wisdom, to see clearly the muddiness and all kinds of illusions in this world. But there are many treacherous people who misinterpret the meaning of the sages and cleverly interpret the words of the sages." For repairs, to make a profit. If it is not for fame and fortune, why do they build magnificent temples and Taoist temples to distract people with their voices and colors? The Taoist priests of Ziyang Temple took 200 taels of silver from that distinguished guest, and the whole temple was busy Get up. Even the old temple master who refused to show up for many years came out and invited the distinguished guest to drink tea in the backyard.

"This distinguished guest likes Huang Lao's theory on weekdays, and he has read a lot of Taoist scriptures, so he chatted with the old temple master about Dao Zang, and it seemed like he had met each other. It's just that when the two talked about Tao Te Ching, , but his face was flushed because of the deep meaning of a few words, and in the end he glared at each other like two fighting roosters. Seeing that the two were about to fight, the sloppy Taoist lying on the stone steps outside and basking in the sun suddenly laughed, He casually recited the few words that the two people in the room were arguing about, and then explained it with a smile. After hearing this, the old temple master and the honored guest were suddenly enlightened, both surprised and admired, completely forgetting their respective identities , He said out the sentences in the Tao Te Ching that he couldn't figure out on weekdays. The sloppy Taoist explained casually, and he explained it so well that the old temple master and the distinguished guests admired it. The three talked through the door and inspired each other Elaborate, explain a Tao Te Ching clearly.

"In the end, the old temple master and the distinguished guests went out of the house, bowed down in front of the sloppy Taoist, proclaimed his master, and wanted to study Taoism with him. The sloppy Taoist laughed, and said in his mouth, living in this magnificent Ziyang Temple, Every day, if you have no desires and no desires, how can you have the heart to study Taoism? The old temple master suddenly woke up, showing shame, and confessed repeatedly in front of the sloppy Taoist. The sloppy Taoist laughed, Taoism is originally simple and unpretentious The knowledge of Taoism cannot be enshrined in Taoist temples. To practice Taoism, you can only learn the deep meaning of Taoism in the mountains and forests, in the city, tile lanes, looking at all things in the world, all living beings, and knowing the joys and sorrows of the world.

"When the sloppy Taoist said this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around and walked away. The old temple master and the distinguished guest smiled at each other, and then followed him. At that time, I happened to be hiding in the wing room, and I could hear the three of them clearly It is very clear and has benefited a lot. Today I am learning and selling it now, and I told my sister to know. If my sister can understand the Tao Te Ching and practice diligently every day, it may not be impossible for her to ascend in the daytime and become a fairy. .”
