Celestial Immortal

  Chapter 164 Answers are fluent

   "What is Tao?

  Chu Chen finally understood that after he had won the No. 1 lottery, everyone in the room smiled strangely and looked like they were watching a good show.

   This question is too big and too general to answer.

The    Tao is the realm that countless monks have pursued throughout their entire lives.

  Cultivation asked, no one dared to say it, and he could explain clearly what "Tao" was.

   Even if he was a true immortal, he would not dare to boast that he had thoroughly understood the word "Tao".

  Thinking of this, Chu Chen gradually calmed down.

  Since there is no standard answer, then he can play at will.

Combining these days to study Taoist scriptures such as "Tai Shang Lao Jun Shuo Chang Qing Jing Jing", "Lao Tzu Dao Zhen Jing", as well as the knowledge of the previous life, there is no need to say the great truth, as long as there is something in the words, and you will have a certain understanding and understanding. .

  Chu Chen calmed down and said slowly:

   "Taoists, speak their tongues and speak words."

   As soon as he came up, Chu Chen didn't say anything about the profound Taoist scriptures and meanings, but took "people" as the entry point.

  What is Tao?

   When people open their tongues and speak, it is the embodiment of "Tao", the beginning of all "speaking", and the oneness of Tao.

   This interpretation has taken a different approach. The people watching the lively in the house are a little surprised. The smiles on their faces have subsided, and they all nodded, savoring these words carefully.

   The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is full of "Dao rhyme".

   "Wonderful!"

  Some lecturers couldn't help but admire.

  Chu Chen was greatly encouraged when he heard the words.

   "Taoists, speak their tongues and speak their words" is not something he comprehended by himself, but what Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty in the previous generation, said in "Annotation to the Classic of Changqingjing by Taishang Laojun".

   He was regarded as a copywriter.

   Looking at the expressions of the people in the room, it was obvious that Senior Du Guangting had a profound Taoism, and he calmed down the scene with just a few words.

  Thinking of this, Chu Chen became more and more calm and talked freely:

"The Tao is the qi of nothingness, the sect of chaos, the ancestor of heaven and earth, able to exist and not The truth. Before the heaven and earth, it is not long, and after the heaven and earth, it is not old; it is self-evident without form, self-reliance without image, and self-transformation without action. Therefore, it is called the Great Way.”

   If you say, "Taoist, speak your tongue and speak your words" is just another way, the Taoist rhyme is long and refreshing.

   Then, the following paragraph is quite thorough and profound in understanding the "Tao".

   This was also noted by Du Guangting, a former Taoist senior.

  In the house, many doctors and professors communicated with each other through voice transmission in private, commenting one by one, and some people nodded slightly from time to time.

   Even Cang Qingzi, Daoist Yunlei, and Han Chen were slightly surprised.

   "Brother Yunlei, is this disciple your junior?"

   The deputy governor of the county, Han Chen, transmitted his divine sense to Daoist Yunlei, and his eyes fell on Chu Chen.

   Daoist Yunlei couldn't help but stiffen his chest and said with a smile:

   "Yes, he is the eldest disciple of my junior brother."

   "Congratulations to Brother Yunlei for cultivating a good seedling!"

  Han Chen's words are not flattery, he doesn't need to flatter others.

   Daoist Yunlei was humble again and again, but the smile on his face was quite bright.

   He also did not expect that Chu Chen's progress in Taoism was so fast that it was not very good a few months ago.

   On the other hand, Dean Cang Qingzi did not intend to stop the school examinations.

   "What is always pure?"

   Cang Qingzi continued to take the exam.

   This topic is also quite difficult, you need to be proficient in the "Qing Jing Jing" to play the doorway.

   However, it is much simpler than "Tao".

  Chu Chen responded fluently.

   "The constant is the law."

   "Qing, Yuan also."

   "The still person is the gas"

   "One is the path of the sage, and the other is the step stool of the gods. All those who learn the Tao become true saints because of the precepts of the scriptures. There is no sage who does not stand without the precepts of the scriptures, and does not become the Tao because of his vitality."

"good!"

  Cang Qingzi nodded slightly, this question is not difficult, but if you can answer it without thinking, it is quite good.

   "Famous, the mother of all things, what's the explanation?"

  Chu Chen fell into contemplation.

   "Famous, the mother of all things" comes from the Tao Te Ching.

When    was studying the Taoist scriptures, Chu Chen had heard interpretations by many lecturers and had heard many versions, so he was quite sure about it.

   After thinking for a while, he said slowly:

   "There is a name called heaven and earth, heaven and earth have form, there are yin and yang, and there is softness and rigidity, which is its name."

   "The mother of all things, heaven and earth contain qi, which gives birth to all things, grows up and matures, and is like a mother's adopted son."

"Mother has a name and trace. The way of Chongxuan has no name, and descends from the trace, and it is called Si. Therefore, the sage establishes a name because of no name, and sends a name to interpret the nameless. He wants his children to educate all living beings, and make them return to their roots. Compassionate Ju. Raising, has the same motherly meaning."

   Cang Qingzi and the other teachers nodded, quite satisfied.

  "What is the nameless Dao, and grows all things"

   Next, Cang Qingzi asked, Chu Chen answered, and he asked a dozen questions without realizing it.

   These days, Chu Chen has been studying the Taoist scriptures very hard. The lecturers of the Taoist academy have not missed a single lesson in the Taoist scriptures, and he has a deep understanding of Taoism.

   The questions behind Cang Qingzi are not as difficult as the first question "What is the Tao", and most of them are moderately difficult.

   With Chu Chen's attainments in Taoism, he can answer them one by one.

   After Chu Chen answered all the questions, he did not quit, but sat on the futon and waited quietly.

  Different from the academy examinations, the Taoist examinations of the Taoist academies can be given on the spot under the evaluation of everyone.

   Every invigilator present can give a score. In the end, Dean Cang Qingzi decides in person and gives the final assessment rating.

   Daoist Yunlei was the first to raise the sign of "Superior".

   Soon, the rest of the crowd also raised signs.

   Except for the dean Cang Qingzi.

   There were fifteen assessors present, and in the end, ten people gave "superior" and five people gave "superior".

   Among them, Han Chen, the deputy governor, also gave a "superior" evaluation.

   Seeing this scene, Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

  According to the previous experience in the assessment of Daoyuan disciples, there are three or five high-ranking students, and they can basically pass the assessment.

  This time he was stable.

   The only question is whether Dean Cang Qingzi gives "superior" or "superior".

   "Best!"

   Cang Qingzi smiled and finally gave his own evaluation.

   "Thank you Dean, thank you seniors!"

  Chu Chen respectfully saluted, and then withdrew respectfully.

   Next, it was Wang Ping's turn to take the assessment.

  Wang Ping, who was born in a famous school, has a good knowledge of Taoism, and it is not difficult to pass the test.

   After a while, Wang Ping walked out with a smile.

   "Brother Chu, how did you do in the test? I'll give you an excellent evaluation."

  Chu Chen saw Wang Ping's sullen face, but did not get used to him:

   "It's alright, I have a high-level review."

  Wang Ping was stunned: "Is this true? It's hard to get a high-level evaluation."

  Chu Chen smiled. The reason why he was able to take the "superior" was mainly because he gave a good impression to the assessors by answering "what is the Tao" at the beginning, and his follow-up answers were quite satisfactory.

   "It is indeed a top-notch evaluation."

   "Amazing, I didn't expect Brother Chu to have such profound attainments in Taoism!"

  Wang Ping was amazed, his praise came from the heart.

   A first-class evaluation is not something that can be won by a mediocre answer. Chu Chen must have impressed and even amazed the appraisers' amazing insights on Taoism.

   He heard Xiucai say that Chu Chen has only been in Taoism for less than a year, and he has such attainments in Taoism, which is far beyond his expectations.

  Chu Chen smiled without explaining much.

   Excellent evaluation, his eighth-rank immortal position is considered stable.
