"You! You're still so irritable." Wang Chongyang shook his head and said with a helpless smile.Naturally, he would not believe Zhou Botong's happy words.

It is true that he likes Taoism, and the classics of the classics are true, but the innocent Zhou Botong only likes to play around, or practice interesting martial arts for fun, but has no interest in the Taoism recorded in the classics.

This time, I am afraid that I hurriedly informed myself as soon as I heard the news. Firstly, I was afraid of being blamed, and secondly, I didn’t want to meet those Taoist priests and monks who only talked about scriptures.

"Since you are so happy, then come with me later!" Wang Chongyang said lightly.

"Ah!" Zhou Botong exclaimed with a sudden look on his face, and then under Wang Chongyang's indifferent gaze, he said with a smile: "I'm so surprised. How many years ago was the last time my senior brother discussed the mystical scriptures?" Something happened!"

"Well, as long as you are happy, then come with me to meet fellow Taoists!" Wang Chongyang nodded and stood up.

On the other side, Ouyang Ke, who was waiting at the door of the inn, had used the sensitivity brought by his powerful facial features to understand the reason why he and others were being watched from the whispers around him during this waiting period.

Ouyang Ke was very helpless about this, "That's not how you look for trouble! I'm really here to ask for advice on Taoism, why don't you believe me!"

While Ouyang Ke was waiting helplessly, the door of the inn opened with a creak, and a tall middle-aged Taoist priest walked out with a young Taoist priest.

However, just when Ouyang Ke's eyes lit up and he was about to step forward to speak, he saw that the two people glanced around and frowned slightly as soon as they came out. The younger one said directly: "Oh, it's not that there is Are fellow Taoists here to talk about scriptures and studies? Where have they gone?"

"Ah! Uncle Master, that's it!" The little Taoist boy who had been following him immediately pointed at Ouyang Ke in panic and said.

"What, that's a Taoist fellow." Young Zhou Botong exclaimed, "You lied to me, there are people like this Taoist priest."

"No! Uncle Master, I didn't say they were Taoist priests! I just said they came to seek advice from the ancestor!" the little Taoist boy said aggrievedly.

"This." After hearing this, Zhou Botong immediately knew that he had made an mistake, and for a moment his face turned red and anxious.

It is true that Ouyang Ke and his party don't look like Taoists. Not to mention that they are all big and round, wearing loose coats and exposing their breasts. Most of them are similar to foreign barbarians. In this way, they are not compatible with educated people.

You must know that Taoist priests, whether they are monks or secular people, as long as they are familiar with Taoist scriptures, they will rarely become as fat as Ouyang Ke. This is because ordinary Taoist priests, whether they study Taoist sayings or the learning of Lao and Zhuang, have learned to uphold Taoist masters in Taoist thought, Taoist martial arts, all pay attention to this aspect of self-cultivation. The so-called self-cultivation simply means to regulate the coordination of the inner and outer body of the body through practice.

Therefore, as long as you really go to retreat, even if you are born with a fat body, you will not be plump to the point where Ouyang Ke looks completely out of control.

It was no longer just ordinary fat, it could be called huge.

"Botong, shut up." Just when Zhou Botong was embarrassed and making nonsense excuses, Wang Chongyang on the side interrupted him.

However, although he did not associate the Taoist fellow with Ouyang Ke at the beginning, when the little Taoist boy pointed at Ouyang Ke and spoke, Wang Chongyang naturally fixed his eyes on Ouyang Ke.

Wang Chongyang, who has reached the ultimate level of acquired cultivation, naturally has good eyesight. Without Ouyang Ke's concealment, the terrifying power hidden under his huge and bloated body was clearly visible. In Wang Chongyang's eyes.

"This is a master. He has at least mastered the twelve formal meridians in his internal strength, and his physical body is even more terrifying." Wang Chongyang thought vigilantly.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, I am the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang, my junior brother and others have just been rude, please forgive me, I don't know how to call my friend?" Wang Chongyang stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I am looking for Wang because of the Nine Yin Sutra. ."

Like everyone else, Wang Chongyang did not believe that the master in front of him who had practiced the outer sect's hard skills to the extreme would come to discuss mysteries with him.

"It's probably because I want to see myself peacefully in this way."

"Well, although I have a big reason for growing up like this, I didn't expect that Zhenren Chongyang, who established his own lineage of Taoism, would also be a person who judges people by their appearance. I don't know if the Quanzhen Sect's so-called idea of ​​the unity of the three religions is also a lie." Ouyang Ke was not completely unaffected by being misunderstood one after another.

"Damn thief, he is really here to cause trouble. He can't even see clearly our Quanzhen Sect." After hearing Ouyang Ke's words, a young Taoist priest who had been waiting on the side drew his sword and cursed angrily.

"Changchunzi, stop it. How can you draw a sword at the guest? It's simply rude." Wang Chongyang immediately shouted.

"Master." The young Taoist priest said unwillingly and put away his sword.

"Go back immediately and copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times!" Wang Chongyang interrupted.

"Yes." Seeing Wang Chongyang's anger, the aggrieved young man said unwillingly and raised his hands.Then he obediently turned around and went back to copy the scriptures.

"This is Changchun Ziqiu Chuji." Ouyang Ke looked at the young Taoist priest who gave him a hard look before returning angrily. He felt a sense of amusement in his heart, and some of his original unhappiness also disappeared.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, because the poor Taoist misunderstood the Taoist before. He actually thought that the Taoist was here because of the recent Nine Yin Sutra. He didn't expect that the Taoist really came to talk about the scriptures. It's just the poor Taoist who has a blind eye. Fellow Taoist, please don't blame me." After scolding his impulsive disciple, Wang Chongyang turned to Ouyang Ke and said to Ouyang Ke with an apologetic expression.

Although the others did not come back to their senses just now, after meeting, Ouyang Ke did not mention the Nine Yin Scriptures out of everyone's expectation, but instead talked about the teachings of the Quanzhen Sect, which made Wang Chongyang understand that he was I really misunderstood the other party. At least this time, he might have come here just to talk about the occult. Otherwise, if it was really about the Jiuyin Scripture, everyone would have seen it. Then with the temper of Jianghu people, they would definitely go directly to Jiuyin. It can be obtained from the Yin Scripture.

Seeing Wang Chongyang's apology after he woke up, Ouyang Ke, who was relieved in his heart, nodded and said: "It's good that Master Chongyang understands it. Although the Nine Yin Manual is precious and can be regarded as a Taoist secret, but this This time, I came here sincerely to seek teachings on Taoism. Although I have some thoughts about the Nine Yin Sutra, I am not to the point where I must obtain it."

"I am Ouyang Ke, a native of the Western Regions. My ancestor was once a native of Liangzhou in the northwest. He moved to the Western Regions to seek life due to the war hundreds of years ago. I have admired Taoism for a long time.

This time I finally came to the Central Plains. In Huayin County, I still had the opportunity to meet the real person Chongyang who founded the Quanzhen Sect. Naturally, I couldn't help but want to come to visit and ask for advice. I also asked the real person not to see him outside. "Ouyang Ke explained gently.

"Ever since I heard about the concept of the unity of the three religions, I have always wanted to meet the real person and ask him about the principles of the three religions in person.

"So that's it. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist would be a remnant from outside the territory. Fellow Taoist can appreciate Chongyang's humble learning. Chongyang is very happy. Can you please invite fellow Taoist?" Wang Chongyang said happily.

Wang Chongyang, who was already feeling guilty because of the misunderstanding, immediately felt a little apologetic when he heard that Ouyang Ke claimed that his ancestors were also Han people and had lived in the Western Regions for hundreds of years because of the war. Now he came to seek advice because he admired Taoism. turned into greater joy.

Firstly, it was because of the intimacy of compatriots from outside the region, and secondly, it was more because the other party found Wang Chongyang.

That's right, it was because Ouyang Ke came to him, Wang Chongyang, for advice on Taoism. This attitude was enough to make Wang Chongyang extremely happy. This proved that the teachings of the Quanzhen Sect he founded had begun to attract people's attention, and some people recognized it.

For Wang Chongyang, a middle-aged monk who founded a sect, his greatest wish and desire was for the Quanzhen Sect to flourish. Ouyang Ke, who was far away in the Western Regions, actually came to ask for Taoist teachings. This was very important to Wang Chongyang who had just founded the sect not long ago. It is naturally the happiest thing.

Therefore, he immediately enthusiastically introduced Ouyang Ke in person.

He has never doubted the authenticity of Ouyang Ke's words, because today's Northland and Northwest Territories are very confusing in terms of religion. There are small Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, but there are no big Taoist temples or temples that are really famous. All Taoist mountain gates are located in the misty rain land of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Wang Chongyang could naturally tell that Ouyang Ke looked like an outsider. It was really impossible for him to come into contact with the Taoist sect in the south in the Western Region, so when he first came to the North, he didn't know his reputation as Wang Chongyang. A strange thing.

But precisely because of this, Wang Chongyang will be even happier. You must know that before this, Wang Chongyang had just become famous all over the world for his work on the Nine Yin Scriptures, but this fame was only spoken by people in the world, and to those landlords Powerful people, the Quanzhen Sect's previous sphere of influence did not extend beyond the boundaries of Zhongnan Mountain. Beyond Zhongnan Mountain, those squires did not recognize who Wang Chongyang was.

Naturally, it was impossible to invite him, Wang Chongyang, to teach Taoism. He, Wang Chongyang, had always taken a fancy to someone and then came to convince him personally, just like his eldest disciple, Ma Yu.

"Master Chongyang is too polite. This time, a junior is here to ask for advice. How could he be like this?" Ouyang Ke avoided Wang Chongyang's extended hand and stepped forward directly.

"You should invite me first at that time."

"Haha, together, together." After saying that, Wang Chongyang led Ouyang Ke and his party into the inn.

"Holy shit, you really came here to study!" It wasn't until Ouyang Ke and others followed Wang Chongyang into the inn that the people who were watching around came back to their senses.

This was a real slap in the face.

"I didn't expect that I actually came here to study." A man from the world said in disbelief.

"Yes! I didn't expect the Quanzhen Sect's influence to be so powerful! Even people from the Western Regions have heard of it." An unknown person from the Jianghu said with some admiration.

"Yes! Yes! I didn't expect that Master Chongyang was not only a martial arts master, but also a Taoist master, which attracted people from the Western Regions to come to visit and study."

Not to mention the discussions among the many people outside, after Ouyang Ke followed Wang Chongyang into the inn, he was taken to the room where he rested only with the incense tripod.

Except for Zhou Botong, who also followed in, everyone else was just waiting outside the door.

After the three of them were divided into two groups, Ouyang Ke was the first to speak: "Although I am not a religious person, I came to the Central Plains this time to visit the masters of Buddhism and Taoism to resolve the doubts in my heart."

"Again, I have been to the Shaolin Temple of the North Buddhist sect, which has been closed for decades. I also met their abbot, Master Jie Ai, and read a volume of Buddhist scriptures."

"I remember that Master Jie Ai asked me to go down and study the Zen Buddhist scriptures, the Diamond Sutra. Once I understand the true meaning of the Diamond Sutra, I will be able to relieve my doubts."

"So this time I would like to ask Master Chongyang if he has any other explanations?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I wonder if layman Ouyang has any doubts. Why don't you tell me?" Wang Chongyang said in a deep voice.Ouyang Ke's words immediately removed most of the joy in Wang Chongyang's heart.

Because Ouyang Ke first said that he had been to the Shaolin Temple, the largest sect in the world, and got an answer. If his answer did not satisfy him, wouldn't it mean that he was not as good as the monks of the Shaolin Temple.

Is the knowledge of the Quanzhen Sect that has just been founded inferior to the Buddhism of the Shaolin Temple that has been closed for decades?

This is unacceptable to the conceited Wang Chongyang. Chongyang is not weaker than others in his life. Wang Chongyang has always thought so in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have the courage to go to the world as a monk. To create a sect, it is still a sect that shouts the slogan and idea of ​​the unity of three religions.

The so-called unity of three religions is to take the Tao Te Ching, which originated from Taoism, as the core and absorb the core Buddhist scriptures Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra and the Confucian Sutra of Filial Piety, and take the unity of the three religions and the coexistence of the three religions as the core idea.

The Quanzhen religion organically combines the Taoist theory of tranquility and inaction with the Buddhist theory of mind and the Confucian concept of loyalty and filial piety, making the three religions comprehensive and unique.

"I don't know if Layman Ouyang has any questions. You might as well tell him directly. I will definitely be able to answer your questions." Wang Chongyang said again.

"What I want to ask is what is human will, what are human thoughts, and what are human desires?" Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice.

"This, what the layman said can actually be collectively referred to as the word "I"." After hearing Ouyang Ke's question, Wang Chongyang was slightly stunned and then said.

"Will can also be said to be a person's obsession, and its power is reflected in the external manifestation of a person's constant struggle and unwavering determination for his or her obsession."

"Thoughts originate from what a person has learned, observed, and thought. It is a person's way and perspective of understanding himself and the universe."

"Desire comes from people's physical instincts and spiritual pursuits."

"So the question the layman is talking about is actually that the layman doesn't know what he wants, and what is his obsession in his heart?" Wang Chongyang said straightforwardly.
