Where Are the Taoists? Text Volume 101 Chatting The hot springs are gurgling, the streams are gurgling, the valley is exuding a dense air, and it seems particularly quiet amidst the chirping of birds.

Gu Zuo and Zhao Ran sat opposite each other, soaking in a pool about ten feet in diameter, with their eyes half closed, and above their heads was a patch of green pines and cypresses.

A wooden plate swayed over the hot pool. Gu Zuo took the wine glass on it and drank it in one gulp. He felt comfortable all over: "Well, when it comes to enjoyment, Director Zhao is the most knowledgeable. I also knew about these things you mentioned back then.

Yes, why can’t you think of getting one?”

Zhao Ran said: "You kid, don't be humble. Aren't you doing a good job in Dongxi? I ​​don't have it here and it's not that I can't do it, but it is always inconsistent with my governing philosophy. I am engaged in the creation of spiritual civilization and Taoist characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

None of them are suitable for this.”

Seeing no one around, he whispered: "I've been to Dongxi several times. It's really amazing! Mr. Gu has so many talented people. I can't do it here. If I don't tell them, they won't be able to figure it out. I've said it many times

Tell them to go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to learn Buddhist scriptures, but what they get back is temple layout, credibility investigation, spiritual stone economy, or mountain reclamation, and community construction. Every time I see them, I wonder

I want to copy these articles and throw them in their faces!”

Gu Zuo smiled: "This is simple. I will transfer a few people over later. As long as you give me the policies, I will be responsible for everything! I will take care of it and build another Dongxi for you!"

Zhao Ran said: "Write a plan later and let me take a look."

Gu Zuo nodded: "No problem!"

As they were talking, the two of them suddenly started laughing. They were chatting and returning to the habits of the past. Although hundreds of years had passed, this feeling slowly came back again without even realizing it.

Gu Zuodao: "Director Zhao, tell me about the origin of your chaos. What is the difference between it and the node?"

Zhao Ran then told how he used Wu Zhenbi to search for the world of chaos and found the origin of chaos.

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said: "What do you think the Junshan world is? Is it there originally, or was it found by your spiritual consciousness? In other words, is it Schrödinger's cat?"

Zhao Ran said: "To be honest, at first I thought it was great luck, because my Nine Heavens Mysterious Dragon Forbidden Technique comes with Qingyun. Whatever I do, I am lucky by one, two, and now five, but now I am confused again.

I don’t know if this is the origin of chaos that I found or the origin of chaos that I created.”

Gu Zuodao: "Only you can judge your situation. Let me give you some reference. I practice Wuliang Taoist martial art. This Taoist art can find void nodes, but the method of finding them is perception. I think there is, it exists.

, anyway, the node where my Heng Yitian is located is Schrödinger’s cat.”

Zhao Ran thought about it and said: "When you said that, I understood a lot of things. Back then, I opened the door with Wu Zhenbi, and I only opened it tens of thousands of times before I found such an origin of chaos. I didn't know at the time that I would be able to cultivate it now.

The higher it rises, the more unbelievable it seems. Maybe it’s the idealism problem you mentioned. Does that mean that the void node and the origin of chaos are both ways of carrying the world of spiritual consciousness?”

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said: "Maybe we can't say that. The void node can be thought of like this, but the origin of chaos is more like an entity than a container." So he searched for the node and solidified it.

The way the spirit perceives the world is revealed.

Zhao Ran fell into deep thought and couldn't help but nod: "You are right. The origin of chaos is a process in which spiritual consciousness continues to grow and solidify, growing and solidifying at the same time. The void node feels like new wine in an empty bottle."

Gu Zuo asked: "Then what state are you in now? If you want to realize the Golden Immortal, you must unite your body and the Yang Shen so that you can enter and exit your own spiritual world. To be honest, I am still one step away from my Yang Shen.

What about you?"

Zhao Ran smiled bitterly: "I'm also a little short of that, but it's literally a thin line."

Gu Zuo asked: "Tell me about it?"

Zhao Ran said: "The technique I practice is called the Nine Heavens Mysterious Dragon Forbidden Technique, which is a bit evil. Yang Shen belongs to six meridians, which can also be called six ropes. I have already merged with the five meridians. As long as I complete the last meridians, it will be done.

"

The discussion about nodes and origins lasted for a long time. After taking a bath and taking a sauna, the two of them climbed to the Sage Peak again and continued to discuss the method of attaining the Golden Immortal. The focus of the discussion was, of course, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Golden Immortal.

The question of fixed numbers.

Zhao Ran said: "I heard that you were sitting in Nantianmen, touching golden immortals one by one, and almost peed with laughter, so I finally confirmed that you are Mr. Gu. This is your style. This is how you made your fortune back then."

Gu Zuo felt ashamed and said: "The director made a joke. When I came here, I ripped off Dao Xing Tianzun and got a treasure bucket as a meeting gift."

Zhao Ran took the treasure bucket that looked like a tripod, nodded and said: "This is the best storage magic weapon. It was a good thing for storing military rations during the Conferred God War. I won't be polite to you."

After collecting the things, Zhao Ran asked: "Do you still want to continue to touch the golden immortals of Pengci?"

Gu Zuodao: "I'm considering Guang Chengzi and Kong Xuan, do you think it can be done? They should have better treasures on their hands."

Zhao Ran shook his head: "The way you act, you really want to leave no room for anything. You don't want to try the six Hunyuan Saints, do you?"

Gu Zuo tentatively said: "Actually, I really want to meet them. Do you think it's possible for us to go together?"

Zhao Ran said: "Don't think about it. As far as I know, those six saints have not appeared for almost a hundred years. No one knows where they have gone."

Gu Zuo was surprised: "Missing?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "Missing! Or in other words, hiding."

Gu Zuo thought deeply: "There's no need. Even if the thirty-six days are really determined, if the two of us challenge the existing gang, we will never go crazy with the six of them. You see, I'm blackmailing

Object, I have not even gone to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva."

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "I have tried my skills when the situation has come, but unfortunately I couldn't beat him. Of course, if we fight again now, I am confident that I will not lose to him."

Gu Zuo raised his hand: "I've heard about this, but I didn't expect it to be you. At that time, I was trapped in Xumitian by the Buddha and couldn't get out. I have great admiration for you, the true preacher of Dharma. How about it? Now I can beat you.

Is it too overwhelming? If it works, let's go to him together and make him vomit blood!"

Zhao Ran said: "Are you going to fight just to get something? Don't always fight to kill. Fighting to kill is not the purpose. Our purpose is to find the answer."

Gu Zuodao: "Have you found the answer?"

Zhao Ran shook his head: "Maybe I found it, maybe I didn't find it. The only thing I am sure of is that the vein, or the rope, that I need in the end is in the hands of the Jade Emperor."

Gu Zuodao: "So, the target you want to challenge is the Jade Emperor? The one you want to defeat is him?"
