Celestial Immortal

   Chapter 394 Yunhai Lun Dao 【Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription】

   There are about a bunch of people in the mountain gate assessment of the Taoist academy.

   More than two hours passed, and five batches of people were assessed.

  In the meantime, there were two more amazing performances, won the examiner's approval, won the prize, and had an additional opportunity to enter the Ascension Secret Cave for diving.

  Unexpectedly, the two were still from the great immortal sect.

   "Hey, it's hard for Xiaomen and Xiaopai to get ahead."

   Moyun Sanren's expression was sad and full of emotion. He was considered a leader in the division, but when he entered the fairy court, compared with his colleagues from the great sect, he had a gap.

   is inferior to people everywhere!

  Xianting has a lot of opportunities, but it is difficult to compete with people from the great immortal sect.

  Chu Chen was also quite emotional.

   No matter which world is concerned, one’s background is important. If there is no certain talent and opportunity, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to cross the gap between classes.

   While everyone was talking, it was soon the group of Chu Chen, Shen Jian, and Moyun Sanren.

  Chu Chen took the wooden number plate and entered one of the temporary test sheds under the guidance of the Taoist soldiers.

  The examination booth is simple, with only a futon and nothing else.

  Chu Chen sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and held his breath.

   The world was spinning.

  Chu Chen was in a sea of ​​clouds.

   There were five Taoists wearing apricot and yellow Taoist robes, some with crane-haired faces, some with old people, some with ordinary middle-aged looks, and so on.

   However, each aura is quite powerful, and at a glance, you can see that all of them are not shallow, but they have true cultivation.

   "Qingzhou Yunlin County is in charge of Chu Chen."

   "The younger generation is here."

   The Taoist with a childlike face for the head crane smiled and nodded, and asked:

   "What scriptures do you treat on weekdays? Choose three books, and I'll test you when we come up with the questions."

  Chu Chen has been reading the Taoist scriptures these days, and he has dabbled in the "Salvation of Human Beings", "Vipassana scriptures", etc., but if he is most familiar with it, it is the scriptures taught by Daoist Xu Ping at the beginning.

   "The younger generation recites and studies the "Three Officials Classic", "Qing Jing Jing" and "Tao Tao Zhen Jing" on weekdays."

   All the examiners nodded expressionlessly.

   "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs; saints are not benevolent, and people are dogs. What's the explanation?"

   Hefa Tongyan Daoist asked with a smile.

   This verse comes from the Tao Te Ching, which is known to the world, but many people distort its meaning and do not know the true meaning of Lao Jun’s words.

  Chu Chen pondered for a while, then said:

   "Everything is born from heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are not taken from everything. People rely on saints to govern, and saints do not lie to the people. Just like a dog made of gods, gods are useless."

   "Useless is selfless, selfless is unkind. It is because the heaven and earth have no kindness and great kindness is born, and the saints are unkind and great benevolence."

   "Therefore, the common people do not give up their virtues to the sages, and all things are born in heaven and earth."

   The five examiners on the gimbal nodded with satisfaction.

   This question is not difficult, but it can clearly explain "heaven, earth and all things" and "sages and people", and expresses a little Laojun's thoughts on Tao and nature, and the rule of the country.

"good!"

  Hefa Tongyan Daoist is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, and he will try Chu Chen's jinliang with an easy question.

   is a guaranteed sub-question.

   Next, the four examiners will not be so polite.

  Hefa Tong Yan, the first examiner on the left hand, looked serious, looked at it, and asked:

   "The capital of Chu is in charge, people can always be quiet, and the heaven and the earth all return, what's the explanation?"

  Chu Chen was not frightened by the examiner's scrutiny, but was overjoyed.

   His most confident "Qing Jing Jing" finally came.

   "If a person can be always clean, all the heaven and earth will return" is a very important verse in "Tai Shang Lao Jun Shuo Chang Qing Jing", which expounds the significance of "constant purity" in cultivating immortals and longevity.

  Chu Chen has a lot of experience in the "Qing Jing Jing" of various masters of Taoism.

   At this moment, he took it easy, thought for a while, and replied:

"Heaven and earth are the descendants of the Dao; people are the descendants of the Dao. Taishang said that people can inherit the ancestral spirit of the Dao, make the body and mind empty, and the spirit is quiet, so that they can embody the Dao and be in harmony with the heaven and the earth. Virtue. Therefore, the heaven and the earth are naturally obedient and obedient, and all of them take refuge. Therefore, it is said that if people can always be quiet, all the heaven and the earth will return.”

   All the examiners savored carefully, some nodded, and some asked:

   "What is Chang Qingjing?"

  Chu Chen froze.

   It seems that the difficulty of the assessment has risen. It is not that you can pass the test according to the script and follow the master, but it requires considerable heat.

  Fortunately, his knowledge of the Taoist scriptures is average, but he has done a lot of hard work in the "Qingjingjing", and his attainments are quite deep.

   In the face of the examiner's questioning, he did not panic at all:

   "The ordinary is the ordinary. The clear is the sudden respite of all fates. The quiet is not born of a single thought."

   This answer is quite satisfactory.

   However, Chu Chen was confident and kept talking:

"Those who are able to be quiet are of the same virtue as Tai Chi, the neighbors of heaven and earth, and the Tao of God. Those who cultivate truth are quiet and inactive, and they can embody the true teaching of the Dao. one."

   The five examiners, including the kind-hearted Taoist, nodded again and again, quite satisfied.

   The original examiner who asked the question was even more interested, and his thoughts became stronger and stronger, and he continued to ask:

   "Poor Daoist asks you, how can my generation be so peaceful?"

  Chu Chen's face still did not show panic:

"A person can walk, stand, sit, and lie down every day, reassure him, keep his conscience, not inside, not outside, with an empty mind, only the Tao is the body, naturally desire and anger will not arise, the spirit will be clear and the qi will be calm. If nature is self-inhabited and life self-stops, then the way of heaven and earth will always belong to me.”

   "The sages of Confucianism also said: Dao is also, you can't leave for a moment, you can leave the non-dao."

   "Therefore, people are born with a quiet mind, and they are all driven by the desires of the world."

   "Empty is also empty, nothing is empty, what's the solution?"

"Empty is empty space. There are two types of emptiness: there is big emptiness, and there is small emptiness. The big emptiness is the principle of doing nothing and not doing it. The small emptiness, destroying the existence and returning to nothingness, taking nothingness as nothingness, it is called small. Empty. Both of these emptiness are absent, that is, nature is not contaminated with right nature, and it is the true way. Empty has no size, and there is nowhere to go."

   "What is descending the basics and flowing the end, and all things are born.."

"The essence is the Yuan; the Yuan is the Dao. The Dao is contained in the Yuan Qi, the Yuan Qi is divided into two instruments, the second instrument is divided into the three talents, the three talents are divided into the five elements, and the five elements are transformed into all things. All things are the end. People. Being able to hold the essence and keep the one, return to the ultimate way, return to the root, not the end. The end is transformation; the essence is life. People can return to the root, which is called the way of adjusting and restoring life.”

   After Chu Chen entered Taoism, he didn't look like he was facing the examiners who were examining the school. He looked like a Taoist master who sat cross-legged in the clouds and preached the scriptures, answering questions, and preaching.

   After asking the examiner of Chu Chen's "Qing Jing Jing" one after another, he couldn't help but slapped the table and was amazed:

   "Wonderful, wonderful! You are able to comprehend the way of everlasting tranquility at a very young age. The poor way hopes that you will become deeper and deeper, and you will truly enter the state of everlasting tranquility and enlightenment, and step into the unimaginable state!"

  Chu Chen heard the serious-looking examiner gave such a high evaluation, and immediately sobered up from the discussion.

   Taking a closer look, he saw the five examiners looking at him eagerly, as if they had seen a piece of rough jade, full of approval.

   "Senior praised!"
