Chapter 394 The Sea of Clouds Discusses the Way 【Seeking Monthly Pass Subscription】
There are about a group of people in the Taoist mountain gate assessment.
More than two hours passed, and five groups of people were assessed.
During the period, two more performed amazingly, won the approval of the examiner, won the lottery, and had an additional opportunity to enter the Ascension Secret Cave for sneak training.
As expected by everyone, the two are still from the Immortal Sect of the Great School.
"Hey, it's hard for a small school to get ahead."
Mo Yun Sanren's expression was gloomy, and he was full of emotion. He was considered a leader among the masters, but he entered the Immortal Court. Compared with his colleagues from the Immortal Sect of the Dapai, he fell behind.
Everywhere is inferior to others!
There are many opportunities in the Immortal Court, but it is difficult to compete with people from the Immortal Sect of the Great School.
Chu Chen was also quite emotional.
No matter which world you are born in, it is very difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to cross the class gap without certain talents and opportunities.
While everyone was talking, it was soon the turn of Chu Chen, Shen Jian, and Mo Yunsan.
Holding the wooden number plate, Chu Chen entered one of the temporary test sheds under the guidance of the Taoist soldiers.
The test shed is simple, with only a futon and nothing else.
Chu Chen sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and held his breath.
A whirlwind.
Chu Chen was in a sea of clouds.
Five Taoist priests wearing apricot-yellow Taoist robes appeared in front of my eyes, some with white hair and childlike face, some with old age, and some with ordinary middle-aged appearance, to name a few.
However, everyone's aura is quite strong, and one can tell at a glance that everyone's Taoism is not superficial, but they are true Taoists.
"Yunlin County, Qingzhou is in charge of Chu Chen."
"The junior is here."
The Taoist priest with the head of the white hair and childlike face had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, nodded with a smile, and asked:
"What scriptures do you usually study? Choose three books, and I will test you with a question."
Chu Chen has read the Taoist scriptures these days, including the "Saving People" and "Vipassana Sutra", but if he is most familiar with it, it is the scriptures taught by Taoist Xu Ping at the beginning.
"The juniors read and study the "Three Officials", "Qing Jing Jing" and "Tao De Zhen Jing" on weekdays."
All the examiners nodded expressionlessly.
"The world is not benevolent, and treats all things as straw dogs; the sage is not benevolent, and treats the people as straw dogs. What's the explanation?"
The Taoist with white hair and childlike face asked questions with a smile.
This passage comes from the "Tao Te Ching", which is well known in the world, but many people misinterpret its meaning and do not know the true meaning of Laojun's words.
Chu Chen pondered for a while, then said:
"All things are born from the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth have nothing to do with all things. The people rely on the sage to govern, and the sage is not inferior to the people. Just like a dog is made of gods, gods are useless."
"If you are useless, you will be selfless, and if you are selfless, you will have no grace. It is because the world is ungrateful that there is great kindness, and the sage is not benevolent and great benevolence is born."
"Therefore, the common people do not give up their virtues to the saints, and all things are born in the heaven and the earth."
The five examiners on the platform nodded in satisfaction.
This question is not difficult, but it can clearly explain "heaven, earth and all things", "sages and common people", and express some of Laojun's thoughts on Taoism and nature, and Zuoguozhishi.
"Not bad!"
Taoist Taoist with white hair and youthful face was just throwing bricks and stones to attract jade, trying to test Chu Chen's ability with a non-difficult question.
It can be regarded as a guarantee to send sub-questions.
Next, the four examiners will not be so polite.
The first examiner on the left hand of the Hefa Tongyan Taoist had a serious face, inspected his eyes, and asked a question:
"Chu is in charge, people can always be quiet, and the world returns, what's the solution?"
Chu Chen was not frightened by the examiner's scrutiny, but was delighted instead.
His most confident "Qing Jing Sutra" finally came.
"People can always be pure, and the world will return to them" is a very important scripture in the "Taishang Laojun Said the Sutra of Constant Purity", explaining the significance of "constantly pure" in cultivating immortals and longevity.
Chu Chen comprehended the "Qing Jing Sutra" of various masters of the Taoist school, and he had a lot of experience.
This time, he took it easy, thought for a while, and replied:
"Heaven and earth are the descendants of the Dao; characters are the descendants of the Dao. The Taishang said that people can instill the ancestral spirit of the Dao, so that their body and mind are imaginary and their spirits are quiet, so that they can embody the Dao and be in harmony with heaven and earth." Virtue. Therefore, the heaven and the earth are naturally obedient, and everything returns to them. Therefore, it is said that people can always be peaceful, and the heaven and the earth all return.”
The examiners savored carefully, some nodded, and some asked:
"What is Chang Qingjing?"
Chu Chen shivered.
It seems that the difficulty of the assessment has increased. It doesn't mean that you can pass the test smoothly by following the master's scriptures, but that it needs a lot of heat.
Fortunately, the Taoist scriptures next to him are average, but he has worked hard on the "Qing Jing Jing" and has a profound attainment.
Facing the examiner's questioning, he did not panic at all:
"Normal means normal. Clear means that all fates come to an end. Quiet means that not a single thought arises."
This answer is quite satisfactory.
However, Chu Chen was confident and eloquent:
"Those who can be quiet, have the same virtue as Taiji, are neighbors with the heaven and the earth, and walk with the divine way. Those who cultivate the truth are quiet and inactive, and can experience the true teachings of the Tao. one."
The five examiners, including the benevolent Taoist, also nodded in satisfaction.
The original examiner who asked the question became even more interested, and his thoughtful thoughts became more and more intense. He refused to let go, and asked again:
"The poor Taoist asks you, how can I be so quiet as a Taoist?"
There was still no panic on Chu Chen's face:
"A person can walk, stand, sit and lie down every day, put his mind at ease, keep his conscience, do not come out from the inside, do not enter from the outside, his heart is empty, only the Tao is his body, natural desires and anger do not arise, the spirit is pure and the breath is quiet, If nature lives on its own and life ceases to exist, then the way of heaven and earth will always belong to me.”
"The Confucian sage also said: The Dao is one, you can't leave it for a moment, you can leave it without the Tao."
"Therefore, people are born with a pure mind and mind, all because of worldly desires."
"Considering emptiness is also emptiness, emptiness has nothing to do with emptiness, what is the solution?"
"The emptiness is the vacuum. There are two types of emptiness: the big emptiness and the small emptiness. The big emptiness is the principle of inaction and non-doing. The small emptiness destroys what is and returns nothing, and takes inaction as nothingness. This is called small emptiness. Emptiness. Both emptiness and emptiness are absent, that is, they are naturally not stained with positive nature, and they become the true way. Emptiness has no size, and it has nowhere to go.”
"What is it to descend from the source to the end, and to produce all things..."
"The original is Yuan Ye; the original is Dao. Dao is contained in Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi is divided into Eryi, Eryi is divided into Sancai, Sancai is divided into Five Elements, and Five Elements are transformed into all things. All things are the end. Human beings Being able to embrace the original and keep the one, returning to the ultimate way, returning to the root, not returning to the end. The end is transformed; the original is born. People can return to the root, which is the one who restores the way of life."
After Chu Chen entered the discussion, he didn't look like a candidate facing the examiner, but like a high-skilled Taoist who sat cross-legged in the clouds and lectured on the scriptures, answering questions and resolving doubts, preaching a thousand words.
The examiner who asked Chu Chen's "Qing Jing Jing" one after another after the school examination, couldn't help but praise:
"Wonderful, wonderful! You can comprehend the way of eternal tranquility at such a young age. I hope that you will gradually deepen your path in the future, and you can truly enter the realm of eternal tranquility, fully enlightened, and step into an incredible realm!"
When Chu Chen heard that the serious examiner gave such a high evaluation, he immediately woke up from the discussion.
Taking a closer look, I saw the five examiners looking at me eagerly, as if seeing a piece of jade in the rough, full of approval.
"Senior praised!"
