Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 60 Tao follows nature
Jiang Mansion.

"Come, please sit down."

Jiang Chenze had just come of age and was four years older than Shi Yi.

He was wearing a brocade robe, which was extremely luxurious, and combined with the scholar's aura on the other person, it made him even more conspicuous.

However, the most eye-catching thing was the mole between his eyebrows, which was also the most prominent feature of the third young master, so Shi Yi recognized him at a glance.

Jiang Chenze was born with a mole between his eyebrows. A fortune teller told him that he was born to be rich and that his family would be prosperous and wealthy because of the mole, which was a very auspicious sign.

After Jiang Chenze was born, the Jiang family developed very smoothly and has now become a very famous family in Ninghe County, which further confirms the fortune teller's words.

In addition, Jiang Chenze himself has been smart since he was a child. After studying, he showed great talent and obtained the title of scholar at the age of fourteen. Originally, Jiang Chenze wanted to continue to forge ahead, but his teacher asked him to calm down for a few years, study the classics, and then take part in the imperial examinations.

Jiang Chenze took the words to heart and began to study the meaning of the scriptures, and has been doing so until now.

Therefore, the third young master has a very high status in the Jiang family.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Shi Yi approached and bowed, then sat on a stone bench beside him.

"Zi Yu mentioned you to me before he went on his study tour."

"Said you were pretty good."

Jiang Chenze looked at Shi Yi and said with a smile.

"That's Xuan Ming's kindness."

Shi Yi knew that Zi Yu was Lou Xuanming's pen name, but other people basically called him 'Mr. Xuanming'.

"No, I think you're pretty good."

"Zi Yu said that you might come to Ninghe County in about half a year. You are faster than Zi Yu said."

Jiang Chenze said seriously.

He also knew some of Shi Yi's situation, and Lou Xuanming said that the time when Shi Yi came to Ninghe County was the time when he broke through the flesh and blood realm and joined the Anhe Martial Arts School.

Jiang Chenze actually didn't care that much about this. What he valued more was what Lou Xuanming said about Shi Yi's learning ability.

"It just happened to be a fortuitous encounter, otherwise it would be similar to what Mr. Xuanming said."

Shi Yi was talking about the silver wolf spirit.

I think the news has already spread to Ninghe County.

The appearance of the monster attracted many treasure hunters. The fact that people still go to Jiuhua Mountain is a good proof of this.

"Zi Yu said you've been reading the Four Books and Five Classics!"

"How far have you read?"

Jiang Chenze changed the topic and mentioned reading.

He and Lou Xuanming became good friends because they shared the same interests in studying.

When Shi Yi came over, he naturally had to ask a few questions.

"I've read it several times and have a basic understanding of its meaning. I'm still studying it."

Shi Yi already had the contents of the book in his mind, but the meanings and concepts in the text needed to be carefully read.

Reading a book once and reading it a hundred times will give you different feelings, and your understanding will also be very different.

"The Tao is not far from people. If people practice the Tao but distance themselves from others, it cannot be considered the Tao. Why?"

Jiang Chenze looked at Shi Yi and suddenly asked a question.

"In my humble opinion, I believe that the greatest has no outside and the smallest has no inside."

"Between heaven, earth, and man, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

After a little thought, Shi Yi gave his opinion.

This is also his understanding after reading so many books.

"Clap!"

"You are really good."

Jiang Chenze couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

The answer given by Shi Yi was beyond his expectations, and his intention was so far-reaching that it was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Seeing this, we can also see Shi Yi's character.

This is also the third time Jiang Chenze said that Shi Yi is very good.

"Did you encounter any difficulties on this trip?" Jiang Chenze did not ask about Shi Yi's knowledge anymore, but instead asked about the purpose of Shi Yi's visit.

If Shi Yi was just visiting him on behalf of Lou Xuanming, he would only need to bring a letter. However, Shi Yi was also bringing a gift box, which clearly meant he had something to ask for.

So Jiang Chenze asked directly.

"I went to Changqing Temple yesterday to test whether I had the talent for cultivation, but the Taoist boy told me that I didn't have enough affinity and needed a letter of recommendation."

"I've thought about it over and over, but I can't think of a good solution. I have no choice but to come to Mr. Jiang's house to bother you."

Shi Yi said with a wry smile.

This is a fact, and it is also the problem he faces at this time.

"A letter of recommendation from Changqing Temple? That's easy. I can write you a letter of recommendation."

Jiang Chenze was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Shi Yi's purpose was this.

However, thinking about what Lou Xuanming had mentioned about Shi Yi, he didn't feel surprised.

There are so many people in this world who want to practice Taoism, but most of them are limited by their lack of talent!
"Thank you Mr. Jiang."

Shi Yi stood up and bowed in thanks.

Things went even more smoothly than he expected.

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter for me."

"But do you know that reading is also a form of spiritual practice?"

Jiang Chenze waved his hand, then looked at Shi Yi and asked.

At this time, an extremely pure aura emerged from Jiang Chenze's body, and he looked directly at Shi Yi.

"Mr. Xuanming once told me that if you read more, you will understand the practice."

"It's just that I still can't see through it, so I want to go to Changqing Temple and try."

Shi Yi felt it and nodded seriously. He had also felt it on Lou Mingxuan, but he just couldn't understand this aura.

He read a lot of books, but still couldn't see the connection.

Maybe if he keeps reading, he will be able to see through the relationship, but that will take a long time, and he doesn't know the exact time.

At this time, Changqing Temple was right in front of him, so he naturally didn't want to give up.

"Well, the path of cultivation must be walked by oneself after all."

“The path others take may not be suitable for you.”

Jiang Chenze sighed and then returned to normal.

It is not a good idea to persuade others to give up.

"Sit here and have some tea while I write you a letter of recommendation."

Jiang Chenze said this and walked towards the yard.

When Shi Yi came out of Jiang Mansion, the sun had already set.

After Jiang Chenze wrote the recommendation letter for him, he talked to him for a long time.

Topics ranged from reading to people's livelihood, business, etc.

Both of them had a very happy chat, and Shi Yi also learned some information about the Great Zhou Dynasty from their conversation.

Shi Yi's general topics were all very novel, which allowed Jiang Chenze to gain a lot.

When Shi Yi returned to his rented house, it was already getting dark!

"With this letter of recommendation, I can go to Changqing Temple to test my Taoist talent and practice Taoism!"

Shi Yi also learned some things about Taoist practice from Jiang Chenze.

Just like testing one’s Taoist talent in Changqing Temple, it is a process of entering into a state of meditation.

This step is not difficult for scholars.

Readers need to calm their minds and avoid distracting thoughts in order to read well.

After that, one needs to sense the location of one's own soul, which is also a key step in detecting whether a person has the talent for Taoism.

Of course, for many ordinary people, just calming their minds and eliminating distracting thoughts can exclude those ordinary people. It is extremely rare to be able to sense the location of their own soul.

Jiang Chenze also specifically mentioned that even if one fails to sense the location of one's own soul in the final step, it does not mean that one cannot practice. It is also possible to achieve success in studying.

Among scholars, those who have achieved success are naturally suited to practicing Taoism.
