The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Zhong Wen doesn't think so, what's the priority, what's the priority, eating well is the real thing, everything else, let's talk about it later.

"Huh? The taste of this Latu Dried Tofu is surprisingly good, Jiushou, is it really you who cooked it?"

Li Daoling put some dishes into his mouth, after chewing and tasting, he, who has never been picky about food, felt the delicacy in this world so simple for the first time.

A dish of roasted dried tofu made of cured rabbit can actually make such a delicacy with all the colors, flavors and flavors. This is the most delicious dish that Li Daoling has ever eaten in his life. Even if he had eaten at a palace banquet before, it was much worse than this. .

"You master and apprentice, how can you eat alone, and don't call me if you have something delicious."

At this time, Chen Feng, who came from not far away, saw Li Daoling enjoying himself, and made a joke.

"Chen Feng, come here quickly. The three dishes my good apprentice cooked for me are really delicious. Come and taste them."

Li Daoling hurriedly yelled at Chen Feng, and also wanted Chen Feng to come over and try, what kind of delicious method is the three dishes cooked by his apprentice.

"Uncle Chen, you use these chopsticks. I'll come to the dining room with a bowl of rice."

Zhong Wen immediately handed over the chopsticks he was using, and then went to the dining room to bring over a bowl of rice.

"Guanzhu, your apprentice is well received, sensible and reasonable, and can cook such delicious dishes. It's rare, rare, and you will be lucky in the future, haha."

Before Zhong Wen approached, he heard Chen Feng's laughter.

"That's right, you don't even look at who recruited this disciple. Except for talent and illiteracy, I am quite satisfied with everything else."

Li Daoling put some dishes in his mouth, and he didn't forget to brag about himself.

Zhong Wen walked over, brought a stool from the side, and sat down directly, without saying anything about the order of the teachers.

Fortunately, Li Daoling and Chen Feng didn't care about this. If Zhong Wen was going to commit a crime in other Taoist temples, he would definitely be criticized.

"It's a pity that there is no wine in the audience. If you pair this delicious food with good wine, it will be a joy in life."

After Chen Feng tasted the three dishes, he felt very regretful, it was so delicious, but there was no good wine.

"When you have a chance, you can go to the city to buy some wine, Jiushou. In the future, you can occasionally cook some of this delicious food for your teacher, and it will also relieve the wine bug in my belly."

After tasting the dishes, Li Daoling completely regretted what he told Zhong Wen just now.

After Zhong Wen heard this, his face twitched. It was just a few dishes. Could it be that he wants to be your full-time cook in the future?

"Master, if you like to eat, I will cook more for you in the future, or I will teach Aunt Yu this cooking skill."

Zhong Wen didn't want to be a full-time cook. If there is one thing, there must be another. If he wants to free himself, he must teach Yu Li in the dining room.

After the meal, Chen Feng didn't sit for long, and left, leaving the master and apprentice sitting there, and Zhong Wen had already taken away the dishes and chopsticks for washing.

"Master, can I ask you something?"

Zhong Wen still had a lot of questions about those two Daoist texts in his mind, if he didn't ask them now, when would he ask them again?What's more, the master in front of me is leaving tomorrow, and no one knows when he will return to the temple.

"Jiu Shou, don't be so nervous with the master, relax, be casual, and ask if you have anything."

Li Daoling felt strange, his new apprentice was good at everything, the only bad thing was talent and illiteracy, and because he was born in a peasant family, he seemed a little nervous.

At this time, Zhong Wen was not nervous, but just a little difficult to speak, and seemed a little cramped and at a loss.

"Master, what is the law and the law? What is the difference between the law and the art? What is the difference between the art and the art? What is the difference between the art and the skill? In addition, is this Tao the sky or the earth? What is this heaven and earth?"

A series of questions came out of Zhong Wen's mouth, and these are just some puzzles in the two Taoist essays for Zhong Wen. solution.

Li Daoling listened to his disciple's question, and he didn't understand. As far as he knew, his disciple was illiterate, but why could he ask these questions?Who did you listen to?Where did you get these questions from?

"Jiu Po, where did you hear this? I don't seem to have taught you anything as a teacher. Although I have talked to you about some things in the past, the things you just asked are not something ordinary people can ask. "

Li Daoling stared at Zhong Wen, thinking in his heart, this could not be a problem that his apprentice knew about.

"Returning to Master, these questions are the questions that my disciples think about after listening to other people in the temple reciting scriptures."

Zhong Wen didn't dare to avert his eyes, and looked at his master in front of him. If he averted his eyes, he would definitely give the other party a state that you were lying.

Li Daoling stared at Zhong Wen for a long time, but didn't find anything unusual. It seemed that this disciple himself had thought up the problem, so he let go of his suspicions, and began to explain to Zhong Wen word by word.

When Li Daoling interpreted the question Zhong Wen asked, Zhong Wen's mind began to become clearer, perhaps even clearer.

As Li Daoling's words became deeper and deeper, the two Dao essays in Zhong Wen's mind, as well as the unnamed Dao essay, began to be rearranged and combined to form a new Dao essay.

Breathless and silent, with slightly closed eyes, I felt Li Daoling's interpretation, and also felt the meaning of the three Taoisms in my mind. After reading it once, I realized that I didn't understand it. I don't understand.

As Zhong Wen kept reading over and over in his mind, gradually, he gained new understanding, and new Taoisms began to gather in his mind.

Li Daoling, from the beginning to interpret some Taoism, from the interpretation to the in-depth, finally stopped, quietly looked at his disciple in front of him, and was shocked.

Just by interpreting a few sentences at will, he can make his newly recruited disciple fall into an epiphany. What kind of talent is this, let alone himself, he has never heard of it.

Half an hour later, Zhong Wen still hadn't woken up, which frightened him even more, and he went to inform Chen Feng lightly, so that all the Taoists began to be on guard, and surrounded Zhong Wen a few meters away.

"Guanzhu, Jiusong is an epiphany? What kind of talent is there to have such an opportunity?"

Standing not far away, Chen Feng looked at Zhong Wen who was sitting quietly in the field, and he was surprised and shocked, and the other Taoists were basically the same.

"Chen Feng, it seems that I have to leave as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible after finishing the matter. No one should spread the word about Jiushou."

Li Daoling stared at Zhong Wen in the field, he was surprised, but also happy. Originally, Zhong Wen was taken into the temple, and it was only used as a spare tire, but now, it is like picking up a treasure, and it is still a piece of gold. Chongbao, with such talent, are you afraid that Longquan Temple will not inherit the mantle?

"My Lord, I know, leave other things to me."

Of course, Chen Feng knew how important the inheritance of Longquan Temple was. Although Li Daoling never told him in detail, he still knew something. Now that he can meet a disciple with such a high talent in the temple, that is the reason for the great prosperity of Longquan Temple. thing.

Chen Feng said they were Li Daoling's friends, but they were not. They belonged to both teachers and friends. Li Daoling had saved Chen Feng's family several times, but he was actually entrusted by his master. Because of his seniority, he couldn't accept it. Chen Feng is a disciple, so there is such a situation.

Chapter 50 Xiaocheng

As the sky was getting dark, Chen Feng and the others also began to worry about Zhong Wen. An hour and a half had passed, and this epiphany couldn't have lasted so long.

Of course, Li Daoling wouldn't worry too much about this matter. Epiphany is a rare thing. The longer the epiphany lasts, the greater the potential.

When Li Daoling was young, he also had an epiphany once, no, it was only half an hour, and at that time his master regarded him as a treasure and offered him every day.

Unfortunately, later on, Li Daoling never had the opportunity to realize his epiphany, but now, what his own apprentice is experiencing is exactly what he has experienced before, and it has been so long that he has envied him.

Li Daoling knew very well in his heart that as his apprentice, as long as he had an epiphany for more than two hours, then the achievement of this apprentice would surpass that of his Taizushishi.

Li Daoling's master once had epiphany twice, and each time, it did not exceed two quarters of an hour, while Li Daoling's master only had one hour, and the grand master had an epiphany of nearly two hours.

And at that time, the Longquan temple was in the hands of the grand master, and it was developed to the point where he could not reach it. Although Li Daoling himself had never seen it, but what he heard from the mouths of the elders, it is not bad. .

But in front of him, the apprentice he just accepted today has such a talent against the heavens, besides joy, he is excited.

"My Lord, is it okay to go on like this?"

Chen Feng was a little anxious. As for the epiphany, he had only heard what Li Daoling said, but he himself had never experienced it.

But looking at an 11-year-old boy with his eyes closed, sitting there quietly, like a puppet, this kind of epiphany can only be what they expected, but they have never experienced it, not because They are stupid, but their talents are not enough.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't make a sound, just wait."

Li Daoling was full of anticipation in his heart. He hoped that his disciple, Jiu Shou, would last for two hours, or more. With more time to realize his epiphany, in the future, the benefits he would bring to Jiu Shou would be even greater. .

Everyone stood quietly a few feet away, looking at Zhong Wen in the field, nothing but envy.

At this time, Zhong Wen has been calculating the three Dao essays, except for the unnamed Dao essay after the calculation is completed, there are also these two Dao essays, which have made him not make much progress, and always feel that something is wrong , or in some places, I always feel that something is missing, or even interrupted.

For an hour, there was not much progress in these two Taoisms, so I stopped the calculation of the two Taoisms and concentrated on studying and reading the unnamed Taoism.

After Zhong Wen read it through, although there is not much change in this anonymous Taoist essay at this time, only a small part of the words have been rearranged, but the meaning in it has a different artistic conception .

Once, twice, ten times... Zhong Wen didn't know how many times he read it through, and every time he read it through, he made his understanding deeper.

Gradually, Zhong Wen's consciousness began to burst out with a bang, and rose towards the sky until he stood several hundred meters in the air, looking down at the pitch-black land.

Although it was pitch black, in the eyes of the divine consciousness, everything was like daytime, no different from the daytime. Afterwards, the divine consciousness began to go further away. At that time, it seemed that he could go wherever he wanted, and the speed was already different from the past.

After a while, he was far away from the Taoist temple, on a mountain in the distance, at least three to five miles away.

Zhong Wen believed that the limit distance of spiritual consciousness should be one or two times farther, but he didn't try. He just stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it for a while, then withdrew his spiritual consciousness, because he knew that he was not far away. At the same time, the master and other Taoists in the temple surrounded him in a circle, and they didn't know what it was for. They were afraid that their master would find out something, and it would be hard to explain it when the time came.

"Master, what are you doing?"

After opening his eyes, Zhong Wen stood up from the stool.

"Teacher, how is it now? Do you feel anything?"

Li Daoling saw that his apprentice hadn't survived for two hours, and felt a little disappointed, but fortunately, he was much better than himself, his master, and his ancestor, so he let go of this sense of loss in his heart.

"Master, my butt is a little numb."

Zhong Wen didn't know why his master and other Taoists surrounded him, so it was best not to say anything, if he really wanted to ask, he said he was asleep.

Li Daoling looked at Zhong Wen, but because of the darkness, he couldn't see clearly the expression on his apprentice's face, and then he called all the Taoists to disperse.

Chen Feng went to light some lamps, and then Li Daoling called Zhong Wen into his room.

"Nine Poems, my teacher asks you, did you fall into a sleepy state just now?"

Among the three people who entered the room, Li Daoling looked at Zhong Wen and asked about the epiphany.

"Master, I fell asleep after listening to what you said just now. Master, don't be angry."

Zhong Wen looked at the two people standing in front of him, and became nervous. Did they discover something?

"Disciple, tell me honestly, don't be afraid, the way you looked just now looks like you have fallen into an epiphany."

Li Daoling looked at Zhong Wen who was a little nervous, touched Zhong Wen's little head, and comforted him so that Zhong Wen could talk about his feeling of epiphany.

"Master, I just fell asleep just now, but in this daze, there seemed to be many words flashing in front of my eyes, but I didn't know those words, and those words always surrounded me, which gave me a headache."

Zhong Wen spoke half-truths and half-false words, perhaps a bit too childish, but Zhong Wen hadn't figured out whether the two people in front of him were out of kindness to him or had some other thoughts.

"Okay, okay, Jiushou, what you just called epiphany. In the world, there are very few people with this talent. As a teacher, I never thought that you, an 11-year-old kid, have such a great talent. As a teacher Happy."

After listening to Zhong Wen's description, Li Daoling confirmed that Zhong Wen was an epiphany of talent, but it's a pity that he didn't resist for two hours, otherwise his achievement would have surpassed that of Taizushi.

But fortunately, he is better than himself and the three masters, and not at all. If this kind of talent is really known by those who are interested, they will definitely come to snatch his disciple.

"Master, what is epiphany?"

Zhong Wen didn't understand, although he knew the literal meaning, this epiphany sounded like a novel he read in his previous life.

"Sudden enlightenment, I can't explain it, and I don't know how to explain it to you as a teacher. This is brought by talent, not what ordinary people can have. Just like Chen Feng, it is impossible for him to have this talent in this life. Master, when I was young, I had a chance to realize something."

"..."

Li Daoling began to tell Zhong Wen about his past, from epiphany, to Taoism, and heaven and earth.

Zhong Wen listened like a curious baby, even Chen Feng. For them, what Li Daoling told was a novel world, or even a world that they couldn't understand.

An hour later, Li Daoling stopped, looked at Chen Feng, and then at Zhong Wen.

Although Li Daoling himself knew that they could not understand what he said, it would take time and experience to accumulate and read a lot of Taoist scriptures before they could understand. That's all.

"Okay, it's getting late, both of you, go back to sleep quickly. From now on, don't do the morning and evening classes of Jiu Poems, and spend more time in meditation."

Li Daoling looked at the two people with puzzled eyes in front of him, knowing that it would be difficult to understand if he talked too much, and it was getting late, he had to get up early tomorrow to prepare for this long trip.

"Monastery master, master, please take a rest, we will leave."

Chen Feng and Zhong Wensui bowed to Li Daoling, exited the door, and went back to their respective rooms.

As for Zhong Wen, he returned to his room, closed the door, climbed into bed and lay down, feeling inexplicably excited in his heart, which was also inexplicably incomprehensible.

After listening to Li Daoling's explanation just now, he began to not understand Taoism and what he knew.

Perhaps it is due to the influence of subjective consciousness that these two thoughts are mixed together, making it unclear what is epiphany and what is Taoism.

Of course, Zhong Wen still has a lot of questions to ask, but he knows that this is not the best time. Only then can I ask many questions in my heart.

Li Daoling, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep. At this time, he was thinking about the talent of his newly recruited disciple. He was afraid that after this trip, whoever knew the talent of his disciple would definitely come to snatch it. How to prevent it? Then Have to think about it.

Although there is Chen Feng besides himself in Guanzhong, although Chen Feng's skill is not as good as his own, but he can still protect the inside and outside of Guanzhong.

Moreover, in addition to good skills, Chen Feng also has a different understanding and experience in fighting and killing the enemy. After all, he was once a general.

Furthermore, with regard to today's events, except for a few Taoist priests in the temple, there are basically no outsiders, and Li Daoling is still at ease with them.

Afterwards, Li Daoling gradually relaxed, and began to think about his long trip.

And Zhong Wen, who was in the room next to Li Daoling, began to fall into what Li Daoling and the others thought was an epiphany.

Because of the changes in his consciousness, Zhong Wen wanted to figure out the function of what he called his consciousness, as well as other changes.

Of course, what Zhong Wen expects more is that his spiritual sense no longer needs him to be in a state of single-minded use, just like the incident with Dahu a few days ago, when he really wanted to investigate something, he had to stand still to release his divine sense. knowledge.

With his eyes closed, Zhong Wen began to release his consciousness, scurrying around in the room, then left the room and went outside.

When Shenshen came to the house, he found his parents and younger sister, who were already lying down, talking about what Zhong Wen was doing in the temple.
