Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Seeing Xiaomeng's slightly stiff expression, Bei Mingzi laughed like an old naughty boy.

At this time, Xiao Meng finally stopped looking stern and said angrily like a little girl: "Teacher, this joke is not funny at all."

Bei Mingzi said with a smile: "Now you finally look like an 18-year-old girl."

"Teacher is not saying that you have a bad understanding of some Taoist principles, but people should go with the flow. Eighteen-year-olds should behave like eighteen-year-olds."

"People have to go through the stages of infancy, children, teenagers, youth, middle age, and old age. These stages are all part of the law of nature and the goal we Taoists pursue."

"If you directly skip the stage after youth, then the Taoist principles you understand must be wrong."

"At this time, you should examine yourself more and not be disturbed by the demons in your heart."

Xiao Meng was thoughtful, and she bowed: "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Bei Mingzi saw that Xiao Meng's understanding was so clear , he stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then said: "But what I said just now was not a lie to you, he doesn't need you."

"That kid is a big anomaly in this world. He shouldn't exist, but he came to this world."

"Because of his appearance, the fate and destiny of many people have changed, even I can't understand it."

"The Qin State didn't have many years of national fortune, but now it has great fortune, which is shocking."

"The reason why I don't let you go to see him now is because anything related to the fate of the country may cause unpredictable consequences."

"The star hidden behind the Emperor Star will eventually replace Ziwei, and judging from the current astronomical phenomena, this star will probably never fall."

"But there is nothing truly eternal in this world, so I am hesitant."

"The fate of the country is elusive and unpredictable. When these things are over, you can go down the mountain again, and I will not stop you. 々〃 。 ”

Xiao Meng was silent for a moment and asked, "When will the matter come to an end?"

It was daytime at this time. Bei Mingzi looked up at the sky and seemed to see the morning stars. He said slowly, "After the beginning of next spring, you can go down the mountain."

"Although you have a deep understanding of Taoist skills, my Taoists are not only about martial arts, but also about astrology and divination. You don't understand these now, and you are just a reckless man."

"In the next two or three months, you will practice in the mountains, and I will teach you all these Taoist skills."

"Don't underestimate these skills. Zou Yan of the Yin-Yang School used these unconventional skills of my Taoism to create the Yin-Yang School."

Xiao Meng never refuses to learn new knowledge. She bowed and thanked her teacher.

Xiao Meng said at this time: "Brother Chisongzi passed away?"

Beimingzi nodded and said calmly: "Four years ago,When the two sects discussed Taoism, your senior brother lost to Xiaoyaozi of the human sect, and he left in depression the next year. "

Xiao Meng regretted: "Senior Brother Chisongzi did not see through life and death, let alone win or lose."

Beimingzi smiled: "Who in this world can really see through these things? At least I, an old man, dare not say that I have seen through them."

"Among the people I have seen in my life, only Uncle Zhuang Zhou has really seen through these things, but how many people in this world can be Zhuang Zhou?"

"So you can just look at these realms of Taoism, and don't pursue them too persistently. If you have the ability and talent, then do it. If you don't have the talent and ability, then learn martial arts as a way to protect yourself. ”

Xiao Meng understood that most of the disciples of Tianzong, or even 99% of them, did not have the ability and talent.

Xiao Meng said: "Although I am not interested in these, as a disciple of Tianzong, I will also fulfill my duties and obligations."

"Next year, the Tian and Ren sects will discuss the Dao again. I will defeat Xiaoyaozi and take Xue Ji back."

Beimingzi shook his head and said: "Xue Ji is just a sword, just a symbol. In fact, because of this sword, the Tian and Ren sects are more alienated."

"Now the two sects are just sitting and discussing the Dao, but as time goes by, who knows whether the people of the two sects will become mortal enemies, we are obviously one family."

"The most regrettable thing in my life is that I witnessed the split of Taoism into the Tian and Ren sects, but I couldn't see them merge into one in my lifetime. ”

“Xiao Meng, Xue Ji is not important, nor is the discussion between the two sects. The greatest obsession and regret of my life is to see the integrity of Taoism.”

“I teach you for a reason. From now on, you are the head of Tianzong, and your mission is not to win the discussion between the two sects, but to make Renzong return and unify Taoism.”

“I don’t care what means you use, and I even hope that you can use the power of Qin and political means to achieve this goal.”

“I don’t want to blame Uncle Zhuang Zhou. It has nothing to do with him. It’s just that later generations misunderstood his intentions, which led to the division of Taoism.”

“¨‖ ¨‖ But after the division into the Tianren Sect, the Taoist philosophy is no longer complete, and one day the inheritance may disappear. ”

“If you don’t enter the world, how can you leave it? But now the Tianren Sect and the Ren Sect have gone to extremes and have both entered the devil’s way. I hope you can lead them to the right path.”

“This is why I allowed you to go down the mountain. Entering the world is not a concept of the Ren Sect, but one of the concepts of my Taoism.”

Beimingzi’s eyes were full of hope. He looked at Xiaomeng and said, “If you can get the Ren Sect’s skills, you must study them seriously. The combination of the Tianren Sect’s skills is ‘morality’.”

“One is ‘Tao’ and the other is ‘Virtue’. Only by comprehending the Ren Sect’s skills can you make a further understanding of ‘Tao’.”

Xiaomeng didn’t expect that Beimingzi accepted her as a disciple for this reason.

That’s why Bei Mingzi was so happy when he saw the former Chang’an Jun sending her to Tianzong.

Because he saw in Xiaomeng the hope of making the two sects of Tianren and Daoism become one again, (good (good)) and making Taoism flourish again.

That’s not only because of Xiaomeng’s talent, but also because of the special relationship between Xiaomeng and Yingwei.

Will Xiaomeng refuse? Of course she won’t.

Teachers are like parents, especially in this era, those who impart knowledge to you are your reborn parents. She knelt on the ground and bowed, saying: "Xiao Meng obeys!"

Bei Mingzi showed a gratified smile, and said lightly: "The teacher will not live long."

Xiao Meng did not feel any sadness, but just said: "Birth, aging, illness and death are natural cycles, and are the normal state of human beings. Xiao Meng bids farewell to the teacher."

Bei Mingzi laughed loudly. He was very satisfied with Xiao Meng's answer, but still laughed and scolded: "Stinky girl, your master is not dead yet, why are you cursing me?"

"According to my estimation, I still have another three to five years of life."

Xiao Meng felt a little regretful, thinking that you would die tomorrow.

It's only three to five years, why do you have to be so sad. .
