There was a maid sweeping in the yard, with blue hair and clouded temples, and picturesque eyebrows. In such a peaceful environment, Luo Jiang's footsteps unconsciously became lighter.

"The Dao can be the Dao, the very Tao; the name can be the name, the very name. The nameless is the beginning of all things, and the name is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to see its beauty, and there is always desire to see its beauty. The two are the same. It comes out with different names, but the same name is Xuan, and Xuan is Xuan again, the door of all mysteries.”

The voice was clear and clean, it sounded like a young man reading a book, now Luo Jiang understood why the cleaning maid had to be so careful, and when she got closer to listen, the young man read again: "Being virtuous is not virtuous, so there is virtuousness; To be virtuous without losing virtue is to be virtuous. To be virtuous is to do nothing but to do nothing; to be virtuous is to do it and to think it; to be benevolent is to do it but not to think it; to be righteous is to be righteous and to be thoughtful; If you lose your way, you will lose your virtue, if you lose your virtue, you will lose your benevolence, if you lose your benevolence, you will lose your righteousness, if you lose your righteousness, you will lose your manners.”

These two passages are respectively in the "Tao Te Ching".

Walking to the Library Pavilion, a child with a bun is reading a book, and beside him is a white-bearded old man holding a ruler.

The child read a few more sentences, and suddenly the old man's ruler fell heavily on his back.

"Ning, you read it wrong. The sentence just now should be, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the way, the way follows nature, the king follows the earth, the law follows the sky, the way follows the way, and the law follows nature."

Luo Ning who was beaten was not wronged, but asked, "Elder Elder, the law of the land is the law of the king, and the law of the king is determined by the monarch. Since the law is natural, how can the law of the king agreed by people be natural?"

The great elder stroked his beard and said: "The reason why the earth is the earth is the law, and the reason why the earth is the earth is that the earth is selfless; Therefore, it is heaven, that is, heaven is selfless; "Fa Dao Dao", the earth is the mother, and the sky is the father. discarded."

Luo Ning nodded thoughtfully, "However, Taoism was first formed to serve the monarch. Lao Tzu advocates inaction and governance, but it also values ​​life, despise fame and wealth, maintains tranquility, abstains from greed, and calms down. , enlightened to the four directions, naturally doing nothing, and at the same time taking the hearts of the people as the heart, helping the monarch to manage the world?"

The Great Elder didn't know how to answer Luo Ning. Adults are probably like this. They always like to force children to believe with some empty talk that they don't believe.

"Tao is a law and a rule, but who knows whether this law and rules are really correct. In the Qingjing Sutra, it is said that the Dao has no name, it grows all things, the Dao is ruthless, and runs the sun and the moon. But since the Dao is great love, why do all living beings still All suffering, why are there still so many wars in our era?"

"Enough." The Great Elder interrupted Luo Ning, "Regardless of whether the idea of ​​Taoism is to please the ruler at the beginning, it is for the common people in the world, and there must be a reason for the existence of the Dao of Heaven."

Luo Ning pouted dissatisfied, "It's hard to say whether there is a way of heaven in this world."

Luo Jiang was speechless. As expected of Sheng Zining, he looked to be about ten years old. He was very thoughtful and insightful at such a young age, but his words seemed to have thoroughly annoyed the elder.

"This time is to punish your arrogance and self-restraint, this time is to punish you for arguing about the holy way, this time is to punish you for being disrespectful to the ancestor. Tomorrow we will go out, and before dawn, we will kneel in the ancestral temple and reflect on it."

The Great Elder brushed off his clothes with a headache, and Luo Ning climbed up the wooden ladder in pain and pulled out a book with a black cover from the bookshelf, and walked to the ancestral hall with a limp.

"What patriarch, isn't our Luo family ancestor Loulan? Since we want to respect and love our ancestors, we should read our Loulan ancient books."

Chapter 180 First Acquaintance

As soon as the scene changed, Luo Jiang was in a dilapidated small village. Luo Ning followed several elders of the Luo family in formation. Behind them were some surrounding villagers and a few people in official uniforms.

"Ning, pay attention, that thing is coming."

The Great Elder held a mahogany sword and stood in front of Luo Ning. Around Luo Ning, several other elders stood in a circle. In the formation, he held his breath solemnly, made a seal with his fingers, and looked straight ahead. Although he Small, but in the most eye-catching position, it is watched like a commodity.

Although the usual Luo Ning has naughty moments, most of the time he is still like a little adult, especially with his firm back, he can already see the aura of a sect master.

Suddenly, a girl with a distorted body appeared in everyone's sight. Her whole body was rotten, her hands and feet were on the ground upside down, her head was up 360 degrees, and there were still a few traces of flesh and blood hanging from her mouth.

"Pro, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Chen, Row, Array, Front!"

Several paper talismans flew towards her body through the wind, and attached to her hands, feet, forehead and other parts respectively.

"break!"

Following the immature voice, the girl possessed by the evil spirit uttered a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground. The Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief and went forward to check the situation.

"It has been driven away."

When the surrounding villagers heard this sentence, they danced happily. No wonder they lost their composure. It was really this ogre that made the whole village restless and panicked. For a whole year, more than ten people died in the village. , The villagers dare not close their eyes when they sleep at night.

"Master Gao, this is my clan Luo Ning."
