Chapter 116 The Way of Taoism

I can't answer this question whether you can bear it or not. Even if I did, the old guy might not believe it.

There are too many people in this world who think they are all-powerful supermen, but in fact they are just waiting for Steppenwolf to come.

I don’t know if I will lie down. I only know that I am willing to suffer. Anyway, I have reached this point. My parents’ life or death is uncertain. There is a Yao Yao squatting next to me and staring at me pitifully. No one knows

What is she planning? How bad can the situation be? Even if she has to die, she will be able to pay for it with this life. The worst that can happen is that she will die, but she will have a chance to be a man again in eighteen years.

The old guy left with me. The demons and monsters surrounding him have dispersed. There is no reason to continue to waste away here.

However, he did not leave the mountain with me. He separated from me at the door and took a completely different direction from me.

I said, the Yinren Inn is finished, where are we going next?

But the old guy puffed up his beard and glared, saying loudly that the Yinren Inn would not play tricks, and that Prince Shui would only let the things inside escape, but to destroy the Yinren Inn, it would take ten or a hundred of them stacked up together.

That's not possible, otherwise, he would have gone in first under the guise of staying in a hotel and then caused trouble?

When I thought about it, it seemed to make some sense, so I asked him what was going on at the Yinren Inn now.

He said that he had become an empty shell. He was originally just an old servant, and being a ferryman was just a matter of chasing ducks. It doesn't matter if he became an empty shell. He had no official position and was light, and he would travel around the world from now on.

I looked at his posture and saw that he didn't look like a man from the world, so I gave him the middle finger.

The old guy didn't care, and he finally told me the truth before leaving.

He said that the Yinren Inn has been around for a long time and has experienced many strong winds and waves. This is not the first time such a thing has happened and it cannot collapse. However, there was a real ferryman in the past, and now he is the only one left with a fake.

If we want to turn the tide, we can only find a real ferryman to come back.

Fortunately, the ferryman is not really a dead end.

He accidentally saw the handbook of the previous generation of ferryman, who had a romantic history and might have left a seed. He thought about finding his real descendant. If there was a chance in the future, he might be able to meet again.

Then, the old man shook his felt-like hair, raised his sharp back, and disappeared into the vast night.

Not long after, I found my master and the four of them in a small forest. The four of them were sitting opposite each other without saying a word.

The difference is that my master and Brother Yaozi have serious faces, Zhang Xinya is a little confused, but Lao Bai has a straight face and a pout like a big catfish, and those who don't know think that someone dug up his ancestral grave.

.

"Have you finished chatting?"

When my master saw me coming, a smile finally appeared on his face. He reached out and touched my head and said with a smile: "Let's go back to your house first, and then go back to the mountain. Master just told them

, I plan to open the mountain gate, and I’m afraid your experience will be indispensable in the future.”

I responded in a confused manner, not really understanding what the necessary relationship between opening the mountain gate and experience was.

"It's going to kill you, why don't you just say oh?"

Lao Bai was extremely dissatisfied with my attitude. He pulled me aside and growled: "Your master is going to open the mountain gate. This is to enter the world. The days of peace and quiet will be gone. Do you understand? If you want me to say it, you should hurry up and persuade you."

Master, it’s up to you to speak your mind. After all, a hundred years from now, your master will still have to take over the Zhenwu Temple, and he might still be able to listen to what you say.”

I punched Ya hard because I thought this grandson had a bad mouth. My master looked like he was in his twenties. Although he was definitely not young, he looked like he was in his prime. He was thinking about me without waiting.

Master has been here for a hundred years, which is a bit unlucky.

"It's true!"

Lao Bai said: "Don't blame me for being crow-mouthed. This time I open the mountain gate to enter the world. I am not going out for a walk as usual. This time I will risk my life. Your master has to get involved. Let me tell you.

, if you don’t stop this matter today, maybe some of our brothers will die one day, and it will definitely not happen at all!”

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, I glanced at my master subconsciously. My master was holding Brother Yao Zi in front, whispering something, and seemed to be arranging some things, so he took Lao Bai and quietly took a few steps behind.

Asked: "Is it as scary as you said?"

"Throughout the ages, Taoist priests have opened their doors and gone down the mountain. How many of them can go back in the end?"

Lao Bai's face flushed with anxiety, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This has something to do with the tradition of their Taoist sect. What kind of tradition does the Taoist sect have? They pay attention to going to the mountains to practice in the prosperous times, and going down the mountains to save people in troubled times.

Do you think this is careless?

In the prosperous times, the common people had some money in their pockets, and everyone was looking for spiritual support. It was a good time to spread scriptures and preach, and to develop and grow. Fortunately for them, they couldn't get out of Maoshan. In troubled times, people's lives were like grass, but they ran out to save people.

Isn't that why I'm looking for black dates for myself?

To say why Taoism is declining now, it has absolutely to do with their lazy thinking.

Brother, it’s okay for you to be tough with me. You must listen to me this time. Once the Taoist priests say to go down the mountain, it will be bad. Look at the time when the Japanese invaded, one hundred thousand Taoist priests went down the mountain, and how many of them went back in the end?

How many of them? All of them are willing to die on the battlefield!"

After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel happy and said: "Old Bai, are you talking in your sleep? When did the Japanese invaders come? Now the world is at peace and the country is prosperous. How can there be so many lives and deaths?"

That's it, the Japanese devils... If you let him try again, there's no need for the Taoist priest to go down the mountain to get a shot. It would be strange if he didn't sink that palm-sized island."

As for the Taoist thoughts he talked about, I think there is nothing wrong with him, so he looks like a monk.

Every day I ask others to say that there is no end to the sea of ​​suffering, that they can turn around and seek liberation by taking refuge in my way. Then they are not monastics, they are clearly engaged in pyramid schemes.

When a monk leaves home and ends the world of mortal life, he should be quiet and inactive. In troubled times, he goes down the mountain to save people because of the word benevolence. In the prosperous times, he goes to the mountains to practice for the word "quietness". Being benevolent, righteous, and clean is the way of a gentleman.

"The world is peaceful now, but the worlds of Yin and Yang will soon be in chaos..."

Lao Bai muttered: "Your master has opened the gate of the mountain, and his business is not about world affairs. He is in charge of the affairs of the Yin and Yang worlds. Oh my God, you are just jumping around looking for death when you have nothing to do. You can't get into it at all costs, you

Just go over and say something to him, saying that today's Taoism can't stand the tossing. You and your master are the only two young people in the world of Taoism. If you continue to toss, you will really lose your descendants!!"

I calmed down and asked, "Is it still about the Yinren Inn?"

Lao Bai nodded and said helplessly: "Your master said that all the things in the Yinren Inn have escaped. This is a disaster, but all practitioners have the responsibility to solve it and take those things back..."

What did I think it was? If it was for this reason, I would have guessed it.

But how big can the Yinren Inn be? I've been to a small two-story building. How big can it be if it's full? I think the young lady is the one who plays the leading role. She only has to run away when she meets my master. The water prince is more troublesome, but again

No matter what, it won't be enough for our entire group to be wiped out.

So I told Lao Bai and told him not to make a fuss. After all, he was an old man, so why should he be afraid of something like this?

"I don't understand, you really don't understand!!"

Lao Baixu pointed at me, as if he hated iron and said: "If the Yinren Inn really only has a few green onions, how can everyone change their minds when they hear it? The water is deep there!"

Lao Bai said that the Yinren Inn I saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, underneath the Yinren Inn are all prisons!

That place imitates the underworld, with a total of eighteen levels, just like the eighteen levels of hell. It is impossible to say how many unclean things there are.

Moreover, the further down it is, the more powerful it is. I heard that there are even ruthless creatures like drought demons, but the ones I saw were just drizzle.

"What kind of master can enter the Yinren Inn?"

Lao Bai frowned and said: "They were all unwilling to go down there, so they entered the Yinren Inn and were released all at once. How could it turn the world upside down? Your master guessed that this might be what Lord Water and the remnant of the Feathered People wanted to do.

Although I don’t know how these two people got together, they must have a big conspiracy. Maybe they want these things in the Yinren Inn to confuse their vision and delay time. But even though he knew it was a trick, he still wanted to get in.

!”

The actual situation left me stunned.

There are so many?

I thought about it carefully and realized, why don't we go back to the Zhenwu Temple? We will spend the rest of our lives chasing these things all over the world.

"Not really."

Lao Bai looked melancholy: "When you open the mountain gate, you will not refuse anyone who comes to you, regardless of fate. This is what your master means now. Moreover, he also needs to contact other Taoist factions, such as

The Tianshi Tao of Longhu Mountain, Wudang, and the Quanzhen Tao of Huashan all come together to do this. The problem is that the old man retreats into seclusion whenever he disagrees. In the end, he is just a few errands for our brothers? As the old saying goes,

If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? If you deal with those things all day long, you will inevitably stumble sooner or later!"

There is some truth in what he said. No wonder he has a bitter look on his face. He came here to seek refuge, but in the blink of an eye, my master pushed him to the forefront again. Can he be happy?

I calmed myself down and said comfortingly: "If the soldiers come, we will block it, and if the water comes, the soil will cover it up. It's useless for you to tell me about this. I can only listen to the decision made by Master."

At this time, my master seemed to have finished talking with Brother Yaozi and called me from the front.

When I passed by, he took a deep look at me and asked me, "Have you explained the situation clearly to me?"

I nodded.

He asked me what I thought about this matter. He heard what Lao Bai said. He was right. This Zhenwu Temple will be handed over to me in the future. Opening the mountain gate is not a trivial matter, so you should ask for my opinion.

I hung my head and said I would listen to him, but I hesitated and said again because I couldn't let go of my parents.

"Of course their affairs are not over, but at this point, it is obvious that your parents don't want to show up, and they probably have other ideas. We have searched and searched, but we can only put it aside for the time being and wait for the news. In fact, in the end, in the final analysis,

, these things are considered one thing, and there will be opportunities in the future, so I will naturally not sit idly by."

My master comforted me softly, and then he took my hand, wrote the word "Tao" hard on my palm, and said softly: "When you open the mountain gate this time, even master doesn't know what you will encounter. What will happen to you in the future?"

When walking around outside, don’t forget this word. Now you can be considered a person of Qingwei Dao. Remember, opening the mountain door is our Dao, and waking up in dreams is our practice, even if it really comes to the moment of life and death in the future.

, and don’t insult the word character.”

This is his only instruction to me.

I saw his eyes flashing, with a kind of determination and a kind of pessimism.

At that time, I knew that I had underestimated the seriousness of this incident. Seeing my master's behavior, it was clear that he was determined to do this...
