Lu Ming did not hear clearly the last words about the Heavenly Dao.
His consciousness was in pain and quickly fell into darkness.
He drifted in the darkness unconsciously.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared beside him and grabbed Lu Ming, causing his body to suddenly stop.
Lu Ming opened his eyes in a daze and saw a kind old man.
"Master?"
"It’s time to wake up"
"Master, how should the seeds mature? Your trial is so difficult!"
"Hehe, you need to find the answer yourself. You made a great ambition in the beginning."
""Great ambition?"
Lu Ming was stunned.
When had he ever said such a thing?
"Why don't I remember this happening?"
"In your heart."
The Master reached out and gently touched Lu Ming's heart.
Lu Ming's consciousness felt as if something had yanked him.
He opened his eyes and found himself still sitting on the sea. The black and white fish below had disappeared.
The will of heaven had also disappeared.
Lu Ming rubbed his aching head and recalled what the Master had said to him.
""When did I make this wish?"
The memories in his mind were like film, flipping through one by one.
Throughout his life, he had never made any great vows.
The only qualification oath he made was when he first entered the Soul-Separating Sect, vowing to stand on top of the world. Later, he was slapped in the face by reality, so he changed his wish to not be killed.
Suddenly, the memory film stopped at the moment when he met the Master after the trial.
"To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity?"
"I……!"
Lu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.
He was just summarizing the Master's life. He was not making a great vow or a great wish.
Lu Ming suddenly felt a little pain in his liver.
He didn't know why the Master would regard the four sentences of Hengqu as his great wish.
""Don't you know that you should not do to others what you do not want others to do to you?"
Lu Ming shouted in grief and anger!
Now he could not care about so much, and directly communicated with the bronze gate and returned to the world of immortal cultivation.
Dean Feng had not left yet, still sitting in the yard waiting.
He saw that Lu Ming was wet all over, frowned and asked:"What happened?"
"Dean, can I change to another avenue now?"
Lu Ming grabbed Dean Feng's arm and asked anxiously.
Dean Feng was puzzled:"The Path of Yin and Yang is the root of heaven and earth, and the foundation of the avenue. Why do you want to change to such a supreme avenue?"
"Because I can't turn Yin and Yang into the complete five elements in this lifetime."
Lu Ming's eyes were dull, and he sat on the stone bench with his head down.
He used to think that the teacher was quite good to him, but now it seems that this is the biggest pitfall. He finally realized the Yin and Yang.
Because of a seed, he couldn't realize it perfectly.
I was so angry!
Dean Feng felt the strong resentment in Lu Ming, and asked with concern:"Why do you say that? Tell me the reason in detail. There are so many strong people in our academy, it is impossible that they can't even solve your problem."
Lu Ming looked up and stared at Dean Feng in a daze.
After a long time, he slowly began to explain.
"I know the ultimate purpose of Master's trial.……"
He recounted in detail what happened to the teacher just now, and Dean Feng's expression gradually became serious.
"To establish a mind for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, to create peace for all generations... What a courage! Apart from the literary sage who pioneered writing and the Confucian sage who created Confucianism and Taoism, there is no one in the world who is as courageous as you.
Your four sentences summarize the Master's wish. He left the trial because his own ambitions could not be fulfilled, and he wanted to select future generations to inherit his wish.
This is not your ambition, but the Master's, and you are the inheritor of his ambition, which is also the original intention of the green wood seeds."
Dean Feng looked at Lu Ming with a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, this sloppy boy accidentally said the Master's regret.
"Master, this is the way to become a saint. If you can accomplish it, there will be one more saint in the world."
"I don't want the title of a saint."
Lu Ming was extremely mad.
"I just want to practice well, live forever, and no one can kill me. Why does such a simple wish lead to such a big problem?"
""Calm down."
Dean Feng stretched out his hand and pressed on Lu Ming.
He stared into Lu Ming's eyes and said,"The Master's regret is great, but it is not impossible to accomplish. Now that you and I understand the purpose of the Master's trial, we have a direction, and we can complete it by breaking through one by one."
Lu Ming took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.
He silently visualized the portrait of the Zhenwu Emperor, and his head buzzed. All distracting thoughts were successfully shattered, leaving only reason.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only give it a try."
Lu Ming sighed deeply, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the four lines of Hengqu on the paper.
""Establish a mind for heaven and earth, what is this mind?"
The first question stumped the two.
They faced each other in silence.
After a while, Dean Feng stroked his beard and said,"Heaven and earth have no mind, but take living things as their mind. This heart of heaven and earth should be the heart of man."
Lu Ming looked at the paper in front of him thoughtfully,"Heaven and earth are not benevolent and take all things as straw dogs; saints are not benevolent and take the people as straw dogs. So what does this saint mean?" Dean Feng looked at Lu Ming with a strange look in his eyes.
"Is this what you think?"
"Yes, it is a sigh from the heart."
Lu Ming nodded gently.
Dean Feng became very puzzled:"Your two sentences are the answer to the question of establishing the mind for the world. You sigh yourself, so how can you not know how to solve it?"
""Huh?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, his heart tightened suddenly, as if he understood something:"You mean, the way of heaven has no feelings, so there is no heart, so we need to establish a heart. And saints have no benevolence, and if they have a benevolent heart, they cannot become saints?"
"Did you really say that?" Dean Feng became even more suspicious:"Did you see it in that small world?"
"You discovered all this?"
Lu Ming scratched his nose in embarrassment.
Dean Feng crossed his arms and snorted twice:"You said the first half of the sentence more or less correctly, but you misunderstood the second half."
"Please help me, Dean!"
Lu Ming immediately put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice.
Dean Feng twisted his beard and said slowly:"The saint cannot be benevolent because he is a saint, and this saint is not that saint, but the ruler of the current dynasty. In the eyes of the emperor, all the people in the world are his subjects. He cannot favor someone, which will ruin the order of the court. Therefore, he must be indifferent and treat the people as equals."
Lu Ming suddenly realized and looked at Dean Feng with an expression of disbelief.
Before, when he heard Chu Xuanjing say that Dean Feng was a scholar, he didn't believe it.
Now he really admires him.
If he didn't remember the content of the Tao Te Ching, knew that there was no Tao Te Ching in this world, and knew that Dean Feng was not a person who traveled through time. Otherwise, he would really think that Dean Feng was a fellow villager. After all, he could interpret the meaning of this sentence after only hearing it once. It takes a scholar to do it!
"So what is this heart for the world?"
Lu Ming asked half-heartedly.
Dean Feng frowned. Even though he was knowledgeable, he couldn't understand the reason for this.
"You also read these four sentences from your small world, right?"
Dean Feng glanced at Lu Ming with a teasing look in his eyes.
Lu Ming laughed twice and said nothing.
This is why he doesn't plagiarize.
There are too many old monsters. If you dig deep, you will definitely be exposed.
Those protagonists who traveled through ancient times plagiarized, it must be the author's cheating.
Lu Ming looked up at the night sky.
Where is my cheat?
""Ren!"
Dean Feng slowly uttered a word.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Kindness?"
