Chapter 31 Wudang Discussion "The Golden Dome is truly extraordinary."
Jiang Wen stood beside the golden dome, looking at the vast sea of clouds in the and earth blend together as if they are one on the edge of the cliff, it seems that you can experience the feeling of controlling the six qi and traveling.
He thought for a moment and stood on the whole person felt like he was flying in the sky, feeling the flow of air.
The tourists who watched him screamed in surprise when they saw him making such a dangerous Daochang Chen who came over was startled and hurriedly waved him down.
"Wudang Golden Summit is really extraordinary, I can see it." Jiang Wen jumped down easily and smiled at the uneasy Daochang Chen. "Compared with this place, my Jingxu Guan is still far behind."
"Isn't that normal?" Daochang Chen said angrily. "Don't do the dangerous action you did just now. If something happens, how will I explain to the master then? The scenic spot will also cause trouble for us."
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot the rules in the heat of the moment." Jiang Wen replied apologetically, and then asked again as if he thought of something. "Do you still care about the opinions of the scenic spot?"
"Of course. Although Taoist priests from various Wudang sects can live in Wudang Mountain, the management of the scenic spot must maintain the safety of Wudang Mountain. If a human life is lost, no one will be relaxed." Daochang Chen replied. "Let's go, my master wants to see you."
"Didn't Fellow Taoist just say that the elders in the sect don't have time?" Jiang Wen said funny.
"Now we have time." Daochang Chen said shamelessly, not at all embarrassed by his previous words.
"Good." Jiang Wen nodded in agreement.
So he followed Daochang Chen to the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain.
The palace is located in the mountains, with green and red colors interlaced and thick bricks and is quite a sense of historical weight.
Climb the steps and enter the door to see the statue of the Jade Emperor.
Jiang Wen held the incense and bowed to the Jade Emperor, and then followed Daochang Chen into the back door.
"You still worship gods?" Taoist priest Chen joked. During the chat along the way, he became more fond of the Taoist priest in front of him.
"Taoist people don't believe in gods?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.
"I just cultivate immortality without asking God." Daochang Chen shook his head, showing no trace of the self-consciousness of a Taoist disciple.
"It's better to have some faith." Thinking of his own experience, Jiang Wen felt that it was blessed by the Taoist he is not superstitious about gods now, he knows how to respect them.
The two came to a spare room, and Jiang Wen saw an old Taoist sitting cross-legged on a futon, practicing with his eyes closed.
"Master, I have brought the master of Jingxu Temple." Daochang Chen said respectfully to the old Taoist.
The old Taoist opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wen with some he seemed to think of something, and his wrinkled face showed kindness.
"Fellow Taoist from Jingxu Guan, please take a seat. Disciple, go and make some tea." The old Taoist said to Taoist Master Chen.
Daochang Chen agreed, and after exiting, Jiang Wen and Lao Dao were left behind.
Jiang Wen was not polite and sat cross-legged opposite Lao looked at the old Taoist, slowed down his voice and said, "This poor Taoist is Jiang Wen, the master of Jingxu Temple. This time I came to Wudang Mountain to discuss Taoism with my seniors."
"Anyone who has a good intention can discuss the Tao. Wudang Mountain is not a secret martial arts sect, and it doesn't have so many rules. Taoists who want to discuss the Tao can just come and discuss it." The old Taoist said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior." Jiang Wen was not polite and told what he wanted to ask. "I heard that there are Qigong practitioners among Taoists, is it true or false?"
"Those are all rumors from the ancients, so it doesn't matter if they are true or false." The old Taoist sighed. "Although Taoism has some practice, it is not that magical in the final analysis. It is just some methods to strengthen the body, which can at most prolong life."
"I see that you are young, and you must have just inherited the Taoist temple in your family. You are full of curiosity about the legends in the classics." The old Taoist said, reaching out to touch the books beside him. "There is no such thing as cultivating immortals in the world. It's just a question. Life lasts for hundreds of years. There will always be confusion about who I am, who I am, and who I am. The original intention of Taoism is also to pursue self-understanding." "The ancients asked when seeking immortality. , in order to understand oneself clearly and to achieve the suffering of transcendence. Whether it is Zhuangzi or Laozi, aren’t the things they ask and ask about human nature? Is it also a son but not a fish?”
"Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. Seeking the meaning of Tao is also to inquire about the meaning of human existence in the world."
"Whether you can really practice or not, whether there are gods or not, you are who you are. Why should you be too attached to one thing? It is better to follow your own thoughts and do what you do. This can also be practice. If you encounter a heavy rain, just If you don’t move forward, do you care too much about the results?”
The old Taoist's words made Jiang Wen fall into deep thought.
He thought about some of the things he did after getting the Taoist temple, and how he felt when he saw the other side of the otherworldly world, and he felt a little clearer.
It's true that I've been too pushy recently, and I always feel like it's not that simple.
As the old saying goes, instead of thinking about so many things, it's better to let nature take its whatever you want, as long as it doesn't go against your you encounter a heavy rain, you will stop moving forward. In the final analysis, you are still afraid of getting wet in the heavy rain.
Instead of hesitating, it is better to move forward with a long song.
Don't listen to the sound of forest hitting leaves, why not scream and walk slowly.
After getting rid of the knot in his heart, Jiang Wen bowed to the old if the old man is a mortal, he still has to thank the other person properly.
The old Taoist is worthy of being an experienced Taoist, but this cultivation of mind and nature is indeed beyond his comparison.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice." Jiang Wen said.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't give any advice. I just said a few words and chatted for a while. If you can't figure it out, it's hard for me to say a thousand words. If you can figure it out, I won't say a word. You can also understand it." The old Taoist smiled and handed Jiang Wen the tea brought by Master Chen.
Jiang Wen took a sip of tea and bowed to the old man again.
"I'm very grateful for the senior's advice. I don't have anything else. So I gave this gift to my senior, hoping that he can enter Taoism and practice."
The old Taoist nodded and didn't care what Jiang Wen closed his eyes and practiced, and only woke up when Taoist Master Chen called in his ear.
"Master, where is my Taoist friend?"
"Let's go." The old man said calmly.
"It's so fast, and I don't even want to stay for dinner. I quite like socializing with this person." Daochang Chen said regretfully, and then his doubts were heard. "Hey, what is this?"
Daochang Chen picked up a thin book from the futon made by Jiang Wen. On the cover were several handwritten characters - "The Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal and the Miao Sutra".
"Master, Daoyou Jiang seems to have left a book behind."
"What book?" the old Taoist said with a smile.
"The Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal and the Miao Sutra." Daochang Chen looked at this shallow custom-made book and never left his eyes. "Master, I will take this book and read it for a few days."
"Go, this book can be regarded as my Taoist classic." The old Taoist didn't care at all. He had no idea what kind of sensation the book Jiang Wen left behind would cause.
As for Jiang Wen, who had finished all this, he was already driving back.
