Chapter 21: Dao poetry duel

  Chapter 21 Dao Poem Showdown

   "According to your opinion, how can one become a high-level writer?" Jing Chen sage looked at Bai Cangdong with a frown and said.

"You want to take me in as your apprentice and teach me superior literary ways, why are you asking me back now?" The corners of Bai Cangdong's mouth turned up slightly, and he said immediately, "Well, it's not impossible to teach you what is superior literary ways, But I am not your master, and I have no obligation to teach you for nothing, if you want me to teach you, you have to pay some price."

   "I seek the Tao with all my heart, and I haven't stepped out of Jingtai Island for ten years. I don't have anything long on my body. Apart from the Chinese Tao in my heart, I'm afraid I have nothing else to give you." The sage Jingchen said lightly.

   "I don't want anything else, just a holy-level exercise." Bai Cangdong stated his purpose.

   Trapped on Jingtai Island, if Jing Chen refuses to teach him kung fu, he will have no kung fu to practice, even if he has the seal of the holy rank and true life, it will be useless. For Bai Cangdong now, the exercises are the most important.

Seeing that the sage Jingchen was silent, Bai Cangdong waved his hands and said: "It turns out that the realm of the so-called sage Jingchen who is the first in literature and Taoism is nothing more than this, so just pretend that I haven't said it, and you just sit in the well and watch the sky, and treat this worthless Take the small road as the avenue of literature and entertain yourself."

   "Let's talk about it, if you really have some insights, I may consider teaching you the exercises." The sage Jingchen said.

"Then you don't have to think about it." Bai Cangdong curled his lips disdainfully, walked to the big tree, sat down by the tree root, found a comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest, as if He had completely lost interest in talking to the sage Jingchen, but he was still muttering to himself in a low voice: "Such unsightly words can be considered Taoist poetry? Is Nanli the number one in literature and Taoism? I think this Nanli There is really no one left in the academy."

"Okay, if you can really tell me the truth that convinces me, I will teach you the holy grade exercises, but if you can't tell me the words that convince me, from now on you will follow me to practice the scriptures honestly. Dao, don’t read it anymore.” As the saying goes, Buddha also has three points of fire, not to mention that the sage Jingchen is the number one person in literature and Taoism in Nanli Academy, even the dean of Nanli Academy respects him well, and others are even more respectful. He is highly respected, how can he be so despised by others, and even if he is so belittled by a small scribe in the field he is best at, even if he knows it is Bai Cangdong's provocative method, the sage Jingchen can't do Gujing No wave ignores or asks.

   "Okay, we've made a deal. You are a dignified sage, so don't play tricks if you lose." Bai Cangdong patted his **** and stood up from the ground, looking at the sage Jingchen and said.

   "I, Jing Chen, never lie." The sage Jing Chen looked at Bai Cangdong and said indifferently: "Tell me, what is so unsightly about my Taoist poem?"

   "This Taoist poem should be based on your own perception and realm, right?" Bai Cangdong asked rhetorically.

   "Not bad." Sage Mirror Chen nodded.

"That's no wonder. I can't blame you for writing such Taoist poems. After all, your realm is too low. It is rare to be able to write such Taoist poems." You have such a stupid expression.

If it wasn't for a person like Jingchen Sage, who specializes in literary and moral cultivation, let alone a sage, even a real person, by this time Bai Cangdong's one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and Bai Cangdong was chopped off with one palm .

"Forget it, I also write a Taoist poem, and you will naturally understand the difference between superiority and inferiority." Bai Cangdong has seen that the sage Jingchen is a person who is dedicated to cultivating Taoism. If he reasoned with him normally, he might be No matter what, he would not listen, and would only stick to the Tao in his heart. Only by breaking the Tao in his heart and letting his Tao heart fall, would he have the opportunity to have a fair dialogue with him.

   "Okay." The sage Jingchen responded lightly.

  Bai Cangdong walked to the mirror stone, looked at the Taoist poem engraved on the mirror stone and said: "The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently, so as not to stir up dust."

  After finishing the recitation, Bai Cangdong looked at the sage Jing Chen and asked, "Is this the realm of Taoism you pursue? So you hide on this island and practice the Way of Literature behind closed doors, thinking that you can cultivate the Dao of Literature by doing so?"

   "That's right. If you practice diligently over time and sharpen your mind, body, and mind, you will naturally be able to reach a higher level." The sage Jingchen nodded again.

   "Hehe, let's take a look at the realm of my Taoist poem first." Bai Cangdong stretched out his hand to grab it, held the summoned Dragon Scale Blade in his hand, and scratched directly at the mirror stone.

The sage Jingchen's complexion suddenly changed, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Bai Cangdong was too close, and his movements were too sudden. The sage Jingchen never thought that Bai Cangdong wanted to engrave the Taoist poem he wrote. on the mirror stone.

This mirror stone itself is not precious, but there are poems inscribed on it, which are also the sustenance of Jing Chen's sage's Dao heart. There were stains on the surface, which made the mirror dust sage stunned on the spot.

   "What are you doing, don't stop quickly." The boy shouted in surprise, he also knew how important this mirror stone was to Jing Chen.

However, Bai Cangdong ignored the boy, walked away with his blade, and engraved four lines of greetings on the mirror stone in a chic manner, turned back to look at the sage in mirror dust and said with a smile: "Look at this poem of mine. how?"

The sage Jing Chen, who was stunned there at first, read the four lines of greetings written by Bai Cangdong, and became even more demented. His eyes were fixed on the four lines of greetings without blinking his eyelids. , just murmured in his mouth: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place. Where does the dust... Where does the dust..."

Seeing the stunned appearance of the sage Jingchen, Bai Cangdong secretly smiled in his heart. The sage Jingchen is a truly wise person, and Bai Cangdong thinks he can't compare with him, but the address he wrote is also his own. A person of great wisdom, and it happened to be aimed at the Taoist poem written by the sage Jingchen, even if the sage Jingchen wanted to refuse.

  These two speeches were originally the dispute over Buddhism between Shenxiu and Huineng, who are very famous on the earth. What Bai Cangdong engraved was exactly the address Hui Neng made to Shenxiu, which pushed Buddhism to a new level and made a new address.

These two speeches have also been passed down through the ages, but Shenxiu's speech is only used as a foil, and the realm is naturally far inferior to Huineng's. At this time, Bai Cangdong used it to attack Jingchen sages, and Jingchen sages naturally lost with no doubt.

And Huineng's speech also aroused the Taoist heart of the sages in the world, standing in front of the mirror stone as if he had realized something, staring straight at the speech written by Bai Cangdong on the mirror stone, unexpectedly Look at it for three days and three nights, do not move, do not speak, do not eat, do not speak, let the wind and rain not disturb the slightest, people and animals have turned into stone statues, it is difficult to distinguish the appearance of the outside.
