Super God: Liang Bing: Please, stop going crazy!

After leaving the temple, Qin Mu continued to wander through the mountains and rivers of the ancient world. One day, he came to an ancient Taoist temple. The temple was located in the green mountains, surrounded by green bamboo forests. The environment was quiet and elegant, giving people a sense of transcendence. Qin Mu was curious, so he walked into the Taoist temple to find out.

There was a Taoist priest in the temple, meditating in the courtyard. He had a kind face, fluttering white beard, and was dressed in a green Taoist robe. He looked peaceful. Seeing Qin Mu coming in, the Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Sir, welcome to my humble home."

Qin Mu bowed respectfully and said, "Master, I am Qin Mu. I passed by here and saw that this place is quiet and elegant, so I came to visit you."

The Taoist nodded slightly and said, "My name is Qingfengzi. I wonder why you are here?"

Qin Mu replied, "I have been traveling around recently and have many questions in my mind. I would like to discuss them with the Taoist priest."

Qing Fengzi smiled and said, "The affairs of the world are complicated and it is normal for people to have doubts in their hearts. Why don't you sit here for a while and listen to what I have to say."

Qin Mu sat down, and Qing Fengzi poured him a cup of tea, which was fragrant. The two sat opposite each other and began a unique discussion.

Qin Mu asked first: "Master, everything in the world is subject to cause and effect and reincarnation. How do you think people can transcend life and death and gain true peace?"

Qing Fengzi smiled slightly and said slowly: "Everything in the world is in the Tao. Practitioners of the Tao need to understand their mind and nature and follow the way of nature, so that they can transcend life and death and gain true peace. If you want to transcend, you must first cultivate your mind. Only when you have no desires and no demands in your heart can you be free and unhindered."

Qin Mu nodded: "So, cultivating the mind is the key to practicing Taoism. Does having no desires in the heart mean giving up everything in the world and living a secluded life in the mountains?"

Qing Fengzi shook his head: "Not entirely. Although the cultivators have no desires in their hearts, they do not have to give up everything in the world. What is important is the mentality, not the appearance. The cultivators can practice in the world, not be moved by fame and fortune, not be disturbed by desires, and their hearts are still as pure as water. This is the real practice."

Qin Mu nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, what the Taoist priest means is that no matter where you are, the most important thing is to have a peaceful state of mind."

Qing Fengzi smiled and said, "That's right. Only when your mind is peaceful can you see the vastness of the world, observe the changes of all things, and understand the truth. The way to practice is not to stay away from the world, but to have a clean heart."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Then Taoist priest, what do you think is the ultimate goal of cultivation? Is it the pursuit of immortality or the pursuit of wisdom?"

Qing Fengzi stroked his beard gently, his eyes deep: "The ultimate goal of a practitioner is not to live forever, but to understand the Tao. The Tao is invisible and formless, but it is everywhere. If a practitioner can understand the Tao, he can transcend life and death and reach the eternal realm. As for wisdom, it is just a process in the practice, not the ultimate goal."

Qin Mu pondered deeply, and suddenly his mind became clear: "So, cultivation is not only about pursuing personal transcendence, but also about understanding the way of heaven and earth and becoming one with heaven and earth."

Qing Fengzi nodded: "That's right. If a practitioner can become one with heaven and earth, he can truly transcend himself and reach the supreme realm."

The two of them discussed in the Taoist temple for a long time. As the sky gradually darkened, the bamboo shadows in the courtyard swayed, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, casting a faint glow.

Qin Mu said with emotion: "I have benefited a lot from discussing Taoism with the Taoist priest, and many doubts in my heart have been gradually resolved."

Qing Fengzi smiled and said, "You have a broad mind, and you will surely go further on the path of cultivation. Today's discussion of the Dao is just a moment of fate. I hope you can come often to discuss and comprehend the Dao together."

Qin Mu stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Taoist priest. I will visit you often in the future and continue to ask for your advice."

Qing Fengzi nodded slightly: "I am waiting for you at any time."

After leaving the Taoist temple, Qin Mu was in a good mood and continued to travel in the ancient world. He passed an ancient forest with birds singing and flowers blooming, just like a fairyland on earth. Walking deep into the forest, Qin Mu found a hidden valley with a gurgling stream, wild flowers everywhere, and fresh and pleasant air.

He took a short rest in the valley, closed his eyes and felt the beauty of nature. Soon, he heard a gentle sound of piano in the distance. Qin Mu followed the sound and found a woman in white sitting on a big rock, playing the piano. The woman was graceful and the sound of the piano was as clear and pleasant as flowing water, as if bringing people into a dreamlike world.

Qin Mu listened quietly, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart. After the piano music stopped, the woman looked up and saw Qin Mu, and smiled slightly: "Sir, why are you here?"

Qin Mu bowed and said, "I am Qin Mu. I passed by here and heard the sound of the piano. I was attracted and came here. The girl's piano skills are superb and make people feel relaxed and happy."

The woman chuckled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, my name is Qingya, I live in this valley, and I enjoy playing the zither."

Qin Mu said with emotion: "Miss Qingya's piano playing is like the sound of nature, which makes people immersed in it involuntarily."

Qingya smiled slightly: "Sir, you are too kind. Playing the zither is just my hobby. I wonder why you came to this valley?"

Qin Mu replied, "I have traveled around the world, experienced different ways of life, and explored the truth in my heart. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, I stopped here. I never thought I would hear such beautiful music."

Qingya nodded: "Young Master, you have lofty ambitions, which is really admirable. I have been here for many years, and I have comprehended the way of nature, and have become one with the world. I feel more peaceful in my heart."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Miss Qingya has a calm mind and is in harmony with the world. This is the way of cultivation."

The two had a great conversation in the valley, discussing the mysteries of nature and spiritual practice. Qingya showed Qin Mu her understanding of the way of playing the zither, believing that playing the zither is not only an art, but also a way to cultivate one's mind and character.

"The sound of the piano can purify the soul and make people feel peaceful. This is the essence of the way of playing the piano." Qingya said.

Qin Mu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, music can sometimes touch the soul and bring unparalleled peace and tranquility."

They spent a few days in the valley, Qin Mu and Qingya practiced the qin together and felt the beauty of nature. Qingya's qin sound became more and more familiar, and Qin Mu gradually integrated into the tranquility of the valley.

A few days later, Qin Mu decided to continue his journey. Qingya saw him off and said reluctantly, "Sir, take care on your journey."

Qin Mu bowed deeply: "Miss Qingya, thank you for your hospitality and teachings over the past few days. I will always remember everything here."

Qingya smiled and nodded: "I wish you a safe journey and hope you find the way in your heart."

Qin Mu bid farewell to Qingya and left this peaceful valley. He continued to walk in the ancient world, feeling the local customs and cultural landscapes of different places. Every place and every person brought him new inspiration and insights.

In an ancient city, Qin Mu met a learned scholar named Zixu, who taught Confucianism in the academy in the city and was deeply respected and loved by students.

Qin Mu visited Zixu and asked him about Confucianism. Zixu received Qin Mu warmly and had an in-depth discussion with him.

Zixu asked, "Why is Prince Qin interested in Confucianism?"

Qin Mu replied: "Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, which has many similarities with my way of cultivation. I hope to further improve my cultivation by studying Confucianism."

Zixu nodded: "Confucianism is profound and extensive. It is not only a kind of knowledge, but also a guide for life. I hope you can gain something from it."

The two discussed the classic works of Confucianism, from the Analects to

"Mencius" covers everything from "The Great Learning" to "The Doctrine of the Mean". Qin Mu drew a lot of wisdom from it and felt deeply the profoundness of Confucianism.

Zixu said: "Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family management, governance of the country, and peace in the world. If practitioners can integrate these principles into their lives, they will surely achieve success."

Qin Mu nodded: "Thank you Mr. Zixu for your teachings, I will keep it in mind."

Qin Mu spent a fulfilling and meaningful time in the academy in the ancient city. He discussed knowledge with Zixu, shared his experience, and further deepened his understanding of Confucianism.

A few days later, Qin Mu decided to leave the ancient city and continue his journey. Zixu saw him off and wished him good luck in his future journey.

"Mr. Qin, I hope you can find your true self in the process of pursuing the great way." Zixu said.

Qin Mu bowed deeply: "Thank you Mr. Zixu for your teachings. I will continue to work hard and pursue the path in my heart."

Qin Mu said goodbye to Zixu and continued his journey. One day, he passed by a valley and saw a group of ragged people gathering at the bottom of the valley from a distance. He was startled and immediately walked closer to check. The closer he got, the more he could feel the suffering and despair in the air.

He came to the crowd and saw that the victims were pale and thin, with dull eyes. Many of them had scars and wounds on their bodies, and they had obviously experienced great suffering. The children leaned weakly in their mothers' arms, and the elderly sat on the ground with empty eyes. Qin Mu felt a pang of pain in his heart, knowing that they must have suffered a huge disaster.

A skinny old man was sitting on the side of the road, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness. Qin Mu walked up to him, squatted down and asked, "Old man, what happened here? Why are you all so miserable?"

The old man looked up at Qin Mu and said slowly, "We are residents of a nearby village. We recently suffered a flood. Our homes were destroyed and our crops were all submerged. We have nowhere to go, so we have no choice but to drift here."

After hearing this, Qin Mu felt extremely sad: "How long have you been here? Has anyone come to rescue you?"

The old man shook his head. "It has been several days without any assistance. We are short of water and food, and many people have fallen ill."

Qin Mu was determined to help these disaster victims. He knew that it was difficult to solve the plight of so many people by his own strength, but he was determined to do his best. He first found a relatively clean water source, and then asked some young and strong disaster victims to fetch water to ensure that everyone had water to drink.
