Huo Junzhong said, "Three tests? You were too cunning to pretend to be drunk last night. "
Xu Laodao denied that "I didn’t pretend that I drank a lot last night."
Huo Junzhong asked curiously, "What did Master Xu Dao say was the three tests?"
Xu Laodao said, "The first time is whether you have feelings for Lu’s sisters. If you can treat them coldly with compassion, it is that people who are affectionate cannot practice. The second time is how to deal with it. If you make a scene with Lao Lu and don’t know how to solve it, it is that you can’t practice intellectually. The third time is whether you will be confused and abandon yourself. If you decide to occupy others’ bodies and abandon me, I can’t practice."
"Can’t I practice emotional intelligence?" Huo Junzhong bowed his head and thought, "But yesterday, I saw that the West ascended to my life, and I don’t care if I don’t know that God doesn’t come from the Tao for a long time. My heaven and earth are working together to control my roots, and it doesn’t work for everyone to do good, to do good deeds, to do righteousness, to be faithful, to be respectful, to love everything, to benefit, and to be indifferent to the road. Therefore, the name of a saint means that a practitioner can’t judge by ordinary people’s emotions, but you said that all three tests are ordinary people’s morality
Xu Laodao fried the medicine to remove the dregs and gave it to Huo Junzhong. "You have a good question. You can feel it the first time you read the scriptures. You are a rough jade suitable for practice. In the past, you were called immortal roots."
"What medicine is this? It smells bitter. "
"The medicine is not bitter," Xu Laodao said. "This is an invigorating medicine. You just entered the dreamland and it is harmful to the essence. This medicine can supplement your lost essence."
Huo Junzhong took the medicine bowl and looked pale after drinking it. This bitter feeling is like the whole person being soaked in gall, and his insides are suffering and he can’t feel other feelings. He is even more numb in his mouth and I am afraid he can’t feel it when he pours it into boiling water.
Seeing his bitter face twitching together, it would be pitiful and vain, but his hand stroked his white beard and smiled. He had no sympathy. Huo Junzhong gulped down the water for a long time before he felt that he had come alive, and he was no longer better than Xianglinsao from head to toe.
Huo Junzhong recovered his breath and asked, "Should I call you Master?"
"No, I don’t accept a younger brother." Xu Laodao refused Huo Junzhong’s request. "Besides, mentoring is nothing but a false name. It is your chance and mine to practice with me."
Huo Junzhong doesn’t understand, "But I don’t think they all have a legacy."
Xu Laodao proudly said, "It’s because of the Sect of Zong Li that the three thousand roads lead to a bad practice. Remember, Xiao Huo, we are pursuing the immortal road, giving up the world of mortals and forgetting our loyalty, not those religious people who worship wooden statues and mud tires and confuse people."
Huo Junzhong didn’t understand and asked blankly, "So you are not a Taoist priest?"
Xu Lao-dao snorted, "It’s sort of. I once studied Taoism in Bones School. It’s true that I was a Taoist, but after all, I’m not a Taoist, Xiao Huo. You have to learn Taoism. You should know that Taoism and Taoism are not the same thing, but Taoism gradually took shape at the end of the Han Dynasty, and cultivation can be traced back to three emperors and five emperors. Even before the birth of human beings, Xiao Huo took two paths. First, when human beings were born, they were monsters and beasts everywhere. Compared with them, human beings were human beings. The body is very small, so human beings get together to drill wood and make tools to form tribes, which gradually expand into a country. Although human resources are weak, when human beings unite, the world will be human opponents. National society is built on group materials. No matter if it is impossible for a person to form a society, it is impossible for human society to exist without tools and materials, such as exchanging value coins with the enemy’s sword and gun department. The other way is for practitioners to understand the root of all things without seeking external forces to integrate themselves into the reverse of heaven and earth, so that they can integrate themselves into the avenue and seek to get rid of the old age, die and live happily. "
"Mr. Xu Dao said that religion is a lie?"
"It can’t be said that there are many practicing methods in sects. It can be said that even people who are wise enough to see Taoist priests such as Lao Dan and Sakyamuni just saw them. They saw Taoist priests just like blind people touching the elephant, touching the elephant’s tail, saying that elephant is like a rope, touching the elephant’s legs, saying that elephant is like a big column, and touching the elephant’s ear will make them feel like a cattail fan. But after all, they touched the elephant, in other words, they are already saints. However, Little Huo Dao is just like the sun where everything is born, but for the sun, everything and
The second chapter monastic test (in)
Speaking of this, Xu Lao Dao paused as if thinking about how to say it for a moment before saying, "Religious things are people who deceive heaven and earth. They lie because of the clever words of the public, but on the other hand, it is more likely for believers to have sincere Taoist scriptures. There is quite truth in them. If you want to practice, you should read more classics, but you should know how to distinguish between scriptures and Taoism. It is better to believe than not to believe them."
Huo Junzhong heard a cry, "Mr. Xu Tao, should I believe it or not?"
Xu Laodao said, "Believe it or not, but those idiots can see the fake scriptures, so don’t believe it. Just like the man after the feather, the world not only regarded the God of Heaven as a god, but also made up a scripture for him. The first sentence is that you don’t believe me. Please try my sword. This kind of pendulum is the best way for cheat people to hide." Speaking of this, Xu Laodao has a fairy fate for Huo Junzhong Dao. "But you did choose three scriptures yesterday, all of which are Taoist scriptures and Chinese and Western ascending scriptures, which explain how to practice my truth and falsehood. The nine-
Huo Junzhong was puzzled and asked, "Master Xu Dao is practicing after reading these three classics?"
Xu Laodao smiled and said, "Of course not, otherwise there will be thousands of practitioners in heaven. Let me ask you something. What is the value of giving a wonderful one to an illiterate person?"
Huo Junzhong wanted to think, "It seems that he can wipe it."
Xu Laodao said, "Although it’s a little vulgar, it’s the same reason. Little Hoshi doesn’t collect secret books, but he can find them everywhere. But most people look at the Taoist scriptures like an illiterate person. No matter how wonderful the volume is, the only thing for him is to wipe it, but if others tell it to him, although he can’t understand the beauty of words, he can roughly know what is described in Chinese, and he can feel China and the United States after learning words. "
Huo Junzhong confessed that he now belongs to the wiping stage.
Xu Laodao said, "At that time, Xiao Huo’s practitioners had no words at first. At that time, heaven and earth were full of aura, and people with immortal bones naturally knew how to practice and echo the Tao of heaven and earth. Zhuang called them real people. They could walk by clouds and fog and wind, walk by sun, moon, light, water and fire, and not hurt knives and axes. They could not add feathers, and the aura of heaven and earth was gradually scarce. Some great wise people sought the Tao by relying on natural immortal roots. These people will explore and record the written language to express themselves as saints, but the written language is the acquired thing The Taoist power can’t explain it. Manichae once said that words can’t stand without idols. Laojun Tianfa once said that my words are 5,000, which are incomprehensible and unreadable. However, for most practitioners, their direct understanding of East and West is always interpreted according to their own understanding, so various sects have evolved. Your practice realm is different, and your understanding of the same scripture is different. "
Huo Junzhong asked, "How can it be regarded as practice?"
Xu Laodao said, "Go and say hello to Xie Xiao. You will stay with me in the future, but in the past few days, you must first get rid of the Lujia sisters. When practicing, you are most afraid that you can’t concentrate on it. Instead of practicing by law, you will kill yourself. In addition, in the past few days, don’t eat meat and food, oil and water. The Lord can properly eat some sugar to supplement your body and clear your stomach."
That night, the Lujia sisters came to Huo Junzhong, and their eyes were red. Obviously, they cried. Huo Junzhong smiled and said, "Why don’t you like me to do things?"
The two quickly shook their heads, and their active sister Honglan wiped her eyes and sobbed, "Xiao Huo, we are very happy. We are just like our mother. We are married, children are mowed and farmed. We have never seen anything in this mountain, and we don’t know anything. Xiao Huo, if you die, will you take us to the city? It will let us see that address unknown is as high as a mountain and buildings can move ladders."
Huo Junzhong nodded. Two 15-year-old girls held him together, excited and timid, and cried. Their fate changed, and tears and snot wet Huo Junzhong’s clothes. Huo Junzhong took his time to comfort them slowly.
When the two men finished crying, Huo Junzhong said that he had arranged for himself. "You and Xiaoling will go to the city together in a week, and I will ask Grandpa to arrange for you to stay and you to arrange school."
"Aren’t you going back?" Cymbidium is a little scared. The farthest the sisters go is once every ten days.
"I still have some things to leave behind." Huo Junzhong didn’t say that he didn’t know what to leave behind. He felt that practice didn’t need too many people to know.
"Sister, what’s to be afraid of? No matter how bad it is, it won’t be worse than marrying that idiot brother." Lu Honglan gnashed her teeth, and her personality burst a lot compared with that of her sister.
Seeing off the Lujia sisters Huo Junzhong also talked to Master Xie alone and said that he was going to live in a Taoist temple recently. At the same time, please ask Master Xie to send Lujia sisters and Hui Ling to the city to see his grandfather. It is impossible for three little girls who have never taken a train to leave the mountains. In the years before no one led the way to the city, Huo Junzhong was only a hundred to ten thousand! That is to say, I have seen many Lujia sisters in all kinds of social news on the Internet. They are beautiful and simple, so I can say that I know that this road will be abducted by traffickers.
Master Xie knocked off the ash at the edge of the chair, and his face was wrinkled like a pear. "Xiao Huo, you are kind, but you are a child after all. It is not a small number to let three girls study in a big city. I am afraid you can’t make up your mind alone."
Huo Junzhong’s composure in speaking and doing things often makes people forget that he is fourteen years old, but after all, he is still a minor. Master Xie and Master Huo knew each other when they were driven to the countryside. It was in this small village that Huo Junzhong came here to recuperate. Although Master Xie and Master Huo have known each other for many years, they are not sure that Master Huo will take in these three little girls.
Huo Junzhong said, "My father has quite a fortune abroad and will give me 30 thousand a month, and my life will increase with my age. In the past two years, I have also saved a little money, and I don’t have any money in the mountains. This money is still acceptable to support their three."
Master Xie sighed, "Xiao Huo, I know you are kind and don’t like our rules in the mountains, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the girls to get married after all."
Although it is a modern society, the concept of people in Master Xie’s mountain village has not changed much since hundreds of years ago. For Huo Junzhong, who grew up in the city, this concept is an insult to women. Naturally, it is unacceptable, but he will be dissatisfied and smile. "Grandpa Xie gave them less chance. The outside world is changing with each passing day. Maybe they can find their own happiness outside. Little Hui Ling has been approaching me for a year and told me a lot of things outside. She is longing for the outside world. I’m afraid that little Hui Ling will run out when she is older."
"You can’t keep a woman after you leave her heart." Master Xie finally made up his mind, and he always liked little Hui Ling’s granddaughter. He was also very pleased to have this opportunity.
Finally, it was decided that Master Zhou Xie and his son would take the Lujia sisters and little Hui Ling to the city to see Master Huo Junzhong, and wrote a letter saying that he had decided to ask Grandpa to help him take care of the three little girls.
The next day Huo Junzhong moved to live in the Taoist temple.
It’s very gratifying to hear that he arranged for Master Xu Tao. "To practice, you must first learn to be a man, that is, to be a man is to do merits. People can’t practice what they do."
Mr. Xu Daoye first took Huo Junzhong to a big wooden barrel. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine was pungent and there was a faint smell of sulfur, which made Huo Junzhong strip off and enter the barrel. After entering the barrel, Huo Junzhong jumped out almost immediately, but his shoulder was touched by Mr. Xu Daoye’s hand. He gritted his teeth and endured the stinging pain caused by the biting skin. He was soaking in hot water. "When people are heated, they will release pores, which is more conducive to absorbing medicinal properties."
Huo Junzhong was soaked until he was about to collapse, and then he was put out of the bucket by Xu Daoye and placed on the stone bed by Xu Daoye. He smeared a sticky ointment on his body and tried to hold Huo Junzhong’s body. "In the past practice, there were martial arts swordsmen who started with self-cultivation and could get a glimpse of other ways to achieve something. However, if you pay attention to self-cultivation, you will be confused by your self-image. Even if you practice until the virtual body and sword are one, the fate will not turn into flying ash. After many years of practice, there is nothing left. Your body is weak,
