After Chang Qing left, everyone was still immersed in the sermon just now. The scene was silent as everyone closed their eyes and thought about it.
After a while, someone suddenly started to break through, and then immediately flew towards Xuankong Mountain. One, two, three, slowly more and more people broke through, and they all got up and flew towards Xuankong Mountain to break through.
An interesting phenomenon occurred in the square. Those who stood up and left were those who immediately wanted to make a breakthrough, while those who had no intention of making a breakthrough were too embarrassed to get up and still meditated and thought in the square.
Even Zulong and the others are like this. The Sanqing brothers have no intention of making a breakthrough. The higher the heel, the harder it is to make a breakthrough. It is not possible to break through immediately just by listening to a sermon. It takes time to polish, unless you can immediately realize it. Obviously, the three brothers have not reached that state yet. , can only stay in the square like others.
Changqing returned to the farm, and Nannan and others came to greet him.
"Brother, can I touch it?" Nannan asked, looking at the very intimidating aperture behind Changqing's head.
"Of course." Changqing lowered his body and let Nannan's little hand touch it.
But I saw Nannan reaching out and passing through the aperture.
"Hahaha, you little fool, how can Guang touch it?" Changqing laughed.
"Hmph, disgusting." Nannan pouted and said.
Later, Chang Qing also disliked the fact that the golden wheel of merit dazzled like a thousand-watt light bulb, so he took it back, but it would appear every time he cast a spell. This can also be regarded as a symbol of identity.
"Hey, preaching is really tiring." Changqing said to the Dongfang people.
"I really can't understand why Hongjun has been preaching for thousands of years. What kind of hammer is he talking about? I have been preaching for a whole day and feel that there is really nothing to say." Chang Qing thought of Hongjun's sermons in Zixiao Palace in the later period after he became a saint. It’s been thousands of years, I couldn’t help but complain.
"You, you got an advantage and acted like a good boy." Dongfang Bubai rolled his eyes at Chang Qing.
In the eyes of Dongfang and Xiao Longnu, no matter how powerful he is, he is still the same Chang Qing who used to drive them to sell vegetables on an electric bicycle.
A month passed quickly. People kept breaking through and leaving in the square, and then came back to continue meditating and waiting. Everyone was waiting in tacit understanding for Chang Qing to preach again. During this period, some people also took out the Tuanyin Stone, which recorded the scene of Changqing's sermon. Many people watched it repeatedly, hoping to enhance their understanding of Tao.
"boom…"
There was a loud noise, and then a huge figure appeared above the square. It was Chang Qing who had arrived. A golden wheel of merit behind his head further enhanced his majesty.
"We are waiting to welcome Saint Changqing." Everyone saluted.
Chang Qing nodded slightly.
"The sermon I preached this time was about a question."
"You all ask yourselves in your mind, why do you practice Taoism?"
After Chang Qing finished speaking, he stopped continuing, as if leaving everyone to think.
Sure enough, everyone looked at each other, and no one knew how to answer. Everyone frowned, thinking about this question that they had never thought about.
After a while, Changqing continued to speak.
"Do you find it difficult to answer this question? Do you have many reasons for seeking the truth in your heart?"
"You will say that everyone in the prehistoric era was like this, practicing before they were even born." After Changqing finished speaking, he looked towards Sanqing.
"For example, the dragon clan has been taught to practice by their elders since they were born. They have never thought about why, because it is the request of the elders, and the same is true for the young dragons around them. Since everyone is like this, then I will be like this too."
"You keep saying that you want to pursue the Tao, but you have never considered the reasons. Maybe you think that revitalizing the ethnic group, revitalizing the power, or not being bullied, or for longevity. In your opinion, there are countless reasons to practice Tao."
"But are these really the reasons why we practice Taoism?"
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. What Chang Qing just said was actually what they thought.
"In my opinion, the reason why we practice Taoism is to understand our true nature, live in the present, build a prosperous future, and look forward to the future. The most precious thing we have is life. Life is only once for us. A person's life should be spent like this : When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he feel ashamed for doing nothing. "
"The value of living is to be recognized by others. If a person is recognized by everyone, even if he dies, he will always live in the hearts of others, just like Rahu, who is powerful but has bad character and everyone is afraid. You think he will I think he will not be lonely or afraid. Because of this, he tries to destroy those existences that he doesn’t like, or that hurt his heart.”
"The same is true for seeking the Tao. Everyone here has different feet, different races, and different backgrounds. Some people are born much ahead of others, and practicing cultivation is as easy as drinking water. Some people have low qualifications. No matter how hard they try, they still linger around or even fall back."
"Then people with excellent qualifications can be blindly arrogant, proud and indulgent, treat cultivation as child's play, and treat others as if they are superior to others."
"Do those with low qualifications give up on themselves or even go to extremes because their efforts are not rewarded accordingly?"
Changqing paused and continued.
"In my opinion, this is wrong. Everything has two sides. There is yin and yang, water and fire. What you need to do is to have excellent qualifications and be ahead of others. Don't be arrogant or have insufficient qualifications. Those who are lagging behind must not be discouraged.”
"The Tao I'm talking to you about actually has nothing to do with supernatural powers, realms, or cultivation. That's because I want you to understand your original mind, understand yourself, and think about your needs clearly. Once you do these things, I figured it out, it will be more beneficial to you than me teaching you a magical power."
"Everyone, please remember that the key to cultivating the mind is to purify the mind, and to cultivate the Tao is based on selflessness. Don't remember the past, the past mind; the present things, the present mind, just follow the circumstances; the future things, the future mind, why bother ”
Changqing talked a lot in one breath, and even he didn't know how he could say so much chicken soup. It is very difficult to speak and preach. If he only talked to a few people, he should be able to talk a lot, but in front of so many people, he All we can do is give a rough outline, and the rest can only be understood by themselves.
"That's it for this sermon. You go back and understand what I said. You should communicate more with each other. Working behind closed doors will only be counterproductive. I will talk to you about the realm of cultivation and the power of the law in the future. The time will be determined After a hundred years, I will preach once every hundred years.”
"Thank you, Saint Changqing." Everyone leaned down and said.
Changqing nodded slightly, and then asked in the direction of Nuwa.
"Nu Wa, you are born with a pure heart. You wanted to become your teacher before, but the time has not come yet. This time you are willing to become my teacher."
Nuwa was stunned for a moment when she was asked. She was rejected as a disciple a few years ago. Although Changqing said at the time that he would consider it later, she thought that the other party did not intend to accept a disciple, and it was just an excuse. She didn't expect it. Now that she was accepted as a disciple in public, she was a little overwhelmed by this sudden happiness.
"Sister, hurry up and become a disciple, hurry up."
"Junior sister Nuwa, please agree."
Fuxi, Hongyun, Dijiang, Zhen Yuanzi and others around Nuwa were overjoyed and urged quickly.
Nuwa also came to her senses and bowed Yingying.
"My disciple Nuwa is willing to worship the sage Changqing as her teacher. From then on, she will follow the sage to pursue the great path and abide by her duty. Heaven and earth can learn from her."
"Yes, Dashan." Changqing nodded.
Then I took a look at the scene and saw that many people were eager to give it a try, and it seemed they also wanted to become a disciple. Then he said.
"It's just a whim of mine to accept a disciple. I have a teaching relationship with you. If you are willing, you can naturally call me teacher."
Everyone was overjoyed. Although they knew that this was different from Nuwa, at least they could call themselves a teacher. It was no longer as unfamiliar as calling them a saint for the first time.
"I've met the teacher later."
Chang Qing nodded, accepting this title.
Then with a move of his hand, he took Nuwa to his side, and then left with Nuwa.
"Congratulations, teacher."
When Chang Qing left, everyone was filled with sighs. Although everyone did not get new magical powers, new rules or treasures from Chang Qing, everyone felt that they had gained a lot and were full of confidence and satisfaction.
After a long time, the people in the square left in twos and threes. Of course, more people stayed to understand what Chang Qing said before.
"Junior sister Dao is so lucky," Zhen Yuanzi said.
"Haha, Brother Fuxi, don't worry now." Hongyun teased Fuxi, a girl-controller.
"Haha, we are all happy together. Let's go back and not come back drunk."
Several people stood up and went back to celebrate.
"Brothers, wait a moment."
A voice called out to several people.
But they saw a very handsome young man, carrying a sword on his back, walking towards a few people with a smile on his face.
"I have met a few Taoist friends, I am Tongtian, and I am also practicing in Kunlun Mountain. This is my first time coming down the mountain to Kunlun City. I see that these Taoist friends are very friendly. I wonder if I can make friends with you."
The person who came was none other than Tongtian. He had just separated from his two senior brothers and came to where Fuxi and the others were, because this was where Nuwa had left before.
"Hahaha, of course." Hongyun's good nature came out, and he was very pleased with Tongtian, and he quickly agreed.
Hongyun then introduced several people around him to Tongtian. Everyone had a good first impression of Tongtian and did not reject him.
"Let's go to my place. Not only does Junior Sister Nuwa have to worship the saint today, but we also have new Taoist friends Tongtian, so we should celebrate." Hongyun said happily.
"Hahahaha, Fellow Taoist Hongyun, be careful, I will make you lose all your money this time." Di Jiang laughed.
"Woof woof..."
A dog barked.
"You guys are not interesting enough and don't call me. Fortunately, Lao Hei, I thought more about it and knew that you guys must have another party."
The figure of the Black Emperor flashed in front of everyone.
Tongtian looked at the Black Emperor curiously, and saw that he was wearing a gold chain around his neck, and something like a ring on his western limb. He was wearing an unknown armor, which looked nondescript.
