I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 287 Enlightenment
Li Yu fell asleep halfway, and started to demonstrate the formation in his mind, and he lost all sleepiness at once.

He lay on the bed with his legs crossed, and with a movement of his fingers, several small flags composed of spiritual power appeared in front of his eyes.

Arranging chess pieces casually, he suddenly heard noise coming from the street, he got up and looked down from the window, and saw a fast horse galloping in the distance.

People on the road ran away one after another, shouting and cursing endlessly.

In the middle of the road stood a young man, walking forward with a sword on his back, in a trance.

Li Yu recognized that this was the young man who ate Bawang's meal just now, he seemed to be called Zhang Tong.

With a flick of his hand, Zhang Tong's body was lifted up on the spot and flew to the second floor.

After landing, he was still in a daze, saw Li Yu smiled, and asked, "Thank you, thank you, is it possible that Your Excellency is an immortal?"

Li Yu has long been interested in talents, and he is not going to miss this second encounter.

"No, I am an alchemist from Juye."

Li Yu smiled and asked: "Although I am not a fairy, I do have some supernatural powers. Seeing that you have been out of your mind these days, you might as well speak up and see if I can help you."

Zhang Tong was a little disappointed, and said: "I am a county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty. If I have enlightened to the Confucianism, I feel that I have touched the door of the Dao, but I can't ask for it. So I escaped into Buddhism and became a novice. I hope the Buddha can help me. Touching the Dao, I still found nothing. Therefore, I often feel depressed and troubled. I heard that there is a high-ranking hermit in Mount Emei, so I came to Sichuan to search, but found nothing."

"Confucians are those who practice the time to save money; Buddhas are those who realize the Tao and realize the world; immortals are those who hide the Tao and save people from the test. Each talks about its own merits, but there is no one. , can make my thoughts clear.”

There was a white light in Li Yu's eyes, he glanced at Zhang Tong, and said, "In your meridian cycle, there are two different true qi, which means that you have entered cultivation but have not yet entered the Tao. In your case, if you want to touch the Dao, you have to listen to my training." No."

This Zhang Tong, he has cultivated the Confucian classics, and also entered the Buddhist scriptures, the two real qi are fused in his body, and the two ways are entangled in him, no wonder he is going to be driven crazy by this trouble.

Confucianism and Buddhism are contradictory in many concepts, which often gives Zhang Tong a headache.

"Why did the Taoist priest teach me?"

"You have to use your merits and virtues as your body, and your golden core as your use, and then you can become an immortal. Otherwise, if you withdraw your current true energy, there will be no possibility of enlightenment."

There was a faint movement in Zhang Tong's heart, as if he saw hope again.He said sincerely: "I ask the Taoist priest to give me some advice."

Li Yu said: "To be honest, I am Li Yu, the head teacher of the orthodox sect. Would you like to worship under my sect?"

In order to understand Taoism, this person first Confucianism and then Buddhism, naturally he has no resistance to Taoism, so he readily agreed, "My disciple is willing."

Zhang Tong bowed to Li Yu and said respectfully, "Master, please give me the Taoist name."

Li Yu said: "This sect is different from other Taoist sects. Although seniority is also ranked, the dao name is self-selected, and there is no seniority."

Zhang Tong pondered for a moment, and said: "My disciple first studied Confucianism and then Buddhism, and now he is learning Taoism. I hope that I can enrich all three religions, so I should call him 'Zhang Sanfeng'."

Li Yu was startled and gasped, this little brother turned out to be Zhang Sanfeng.

I found a treasure, this belongs to
Li Yu took out an amulet from his bosom, and said, "This is a token of our sect. If anyone wears the same amulet, you can ask for help when you encounter trouble, and you should try your best to help your fellow sect if you are in trouble."

Zhang Sanfeng took the amulet, "The disciple understands."

Li Yu brought this apprentice downstairs, ordered a plate of broad beans and a pot of tea.

It was very noisy around, but the master and apprentice didn't care.

Li Yu said: "You see, it doesn't matter where you preach. As a teacher, you have talked on the podium that attracts everyone's attention, and you have also preached for flowers and plants in a deserted valley. You can sit and preach by candlelight in the middle of the night, Or it could be wandering the streets of a busy city preaching."

"Just like this, so is Enlightenment. The sect is just a coat. After removing it, the Dao is the same."

"As the saying goes: Immortals are Buddhas, Buddhas are immortals, and one nature is perfect and bright. The three religions are originally one family. If you are hungry, you will eat and you will sleep when you are sleepy."

Zhang Sanfeng was fascinated by it, the surrounding noises couldn't reach his ears at all, only Li Yu's words remained.He felt that Li Yu's every word was like a hammer hitting the wall between him and the road.

This feeling is mysterious. Ordinary people cultivate the Tao slowly, little by little, to remove the barriers in their hearts, and then to realize the Tao.

This slow process may take ten years, decades, or even thousands of years.

He is different, Li Yu is like a craftsman holding a hammer, beating hard on the barrier in his heart, and there is a possibility of breaking through at any time.

Zhang Sanfeng had a strong premonition in his heart, perhaps, the next word Li Yu uttered could enlighten him.

He was sweating nervously on his brow, concentrated his attention, and didn't miss a single word Li Yu said.His mind was spinning rapidly, comprehending the Dao that Li Yu said.

For apprentices with this kind of qualifications, there is no need to progress step by step. Li Yu directly pointed out the most original Dao, "The Dao does not lie in Buddhism, Confucianism, or Dao. It does not lie in Sakyamuni, Confucius and Mencius, and does not lie in Sanqing. Do you know the Dao where?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head.

His nervous appearance made Li Yu laugh dumbly, and said to him in a concentrated voice: "It's me!"

In just two words, after a long foreshadowing, Li Yu finally uttered the most steadfast Taoism since he practiced Taoism.

He didn't raise the volume of these words, but in Zhang Sanfeng's ears, it sounded like a thunderbolt.

Those two short words struck his heart like a thunderbolt.

Huo De opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said: "The Dao is with me!"

At the beginning, Li Yu needed to tell his apprentices that this "I" was the real self, but for Zhang Sanfeng, this step could be completely omitted.

There were many diners in the lobby, but no one noticed anything unusual, only Li Yu who was opposite him could see him clearly.

Zhang Sanfeng is indeed Zhang Sanfeng.

He was the first to understand Li Yu's words in an instant, although Li Yu had told many people about it.

Zhang Sanfeng immediately recognized the meaning of the word "I".

Li Yu didn't interrupt him, stopped talking, but waited slowly while drinking tea and eating beans.He has a leisurely expression, he has come to this point, it is impossible for Zhang Sanfeng to fail to understand.

After waiting for about half an hour, the brilliance in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes slowly subsided until it disappeared.The laziness, lack of focus, and trance that haunted his whole body were swept away.

Zhang Sanfeng's whole body, all of his vigor and spirit returned all of a sudden.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Li Yu, "Master, disciple Zhang Sanfeng, pay respects to my master."
