Chapter 1296
Wang Baole murmured softly. Chen Yunluo and his wife couldn't hear his voice. Only the little boy looked at Wang Baole in surprise. He could hear him. In an instant, a strange yet familiar hot current emerged.
This hot current is very hot, permeating his heart, body, and soul. It seems that this moment, the year that has fallen between the sky and the earth, and this first snow have all become warmer.
It seemed that the Taoist priest in front of him made him feel very safe and at ease.
It seemed that the figure in front of him made me miss him very much, and I really wanted to be by his side.
In this warmth, Chen Yunluo and his wife also felt Wang Baole's kindness and approval, and were infected by the warmth that permeated the surroundings. They were in a happy mood, bowed gratefully to Wang Baole, and left with the little boy.
Before leaving, the little boy who was being held by his father turned his head three times.
In the end, when he turned his head for the third time, the little boy couldn't help but spoke loudly to the figure in the Taoist temple.
"Daozhang, have we... met?"
His sudden voice made Chen Yunluo and his wife very nervous, but the scolding eyes from his father and the nervous expression from his mother did not make Xiaotong turn around. He still looked at the Taoist temple, as if waiting for an answer.
"I've seen it..." Wang Baole smiled, nodded heavily, and murmured in his heart.
"In your previous life."
"Okay." The little boy was a little confused, but he was a child after all, and he quickly recovered. Under the apology from his parents and Wang Baole's gentle smile, the family of three walked further and further away.
Faintly, in the wind came the voice of Chen Yunluo teaching the child.
Looking from a distance, the sky is gray and there are more and more snowflakes falling on the city, as if wearing a white gown on the city. Apart from being elegant, outside the Taoist temple, the figures of Chen Yunluo's family of three are gradually blurred. In the snowstorm.
Inside the Taoist temple, Wang Baole stood by the door, holding a broom in his hand, staring up, smiling more and more on his face, until the snowflakes covered the world in front of him, his body and soul seemed to have been sublimated in this wind and snow.
This snow has been falling for a month. For the mortals in some worlds, a month of continuous snow may be a disaster, but for Xiangang Continent, this is a normal thing.
Although the snow is still falling, it can't hinder the children's enlightenment. Every morning, the children from the Taoist temple will come within a limited time, and listen to the preacher in the Taoist temple.
Chen Qing was among them.
He likes the friends around him, likes Erya at the next table, but he likes the Taoist priest who has always been gentle.
Wang Baole's sermons are not much different from other Taoist temples. They are all about the perception of practice. It is difficult to describe these truths in simple words that children can understand, but his body radiates Dao rhyme all the time.
Under the influence of this rhyme, even if these children cannot fully understand, they are still in ignorance, which remains in the depths of their memory. In the future, as they grow up and practice, they will learn from the enlightenment. Comprehension and dao rhyme will become the beacon of their practice.
And this bright light, in Chen Qing's heart, was extraordinarily bright.
He was very surprised why the other friends didn't understand very well, because to him, this gentle Taoist priest seemed to be able to fully understand every word he said.
And so the days passed, and in this initiation, the year passed.
Chen Qing is six years old.
Compared with other children, starting from this year, Chen Qing would often ask his own questions while gaining insights, and every question, the gentle Taoist priest would answer him with encouragement in his eyes.
This made Chen Qing full of expectations for practice, and at the same time, he learned more and more from the Dao Yun. Similarly...as his companions, the other children in this group also benefited from it.
"Daozhang, why is there spiritual energy in the heaven and earth?"
"Because plants, animals, you and me, the heavens and the earth, and even all things have spirits, this universe... also naturally has a spirit, and this spirit is its breath."
"Master Dao, what is Dao?"
"The way is not important. For example, Chen Qing, you go home. There are many ways to go. Each way can be different. For example, the way is different. Going home is the key point. So the way...in my understanding, it means that you have After you have given the direction, what you choose is the way to go."
"Daozhang, what if there is no road in the chosen direction?"
"Then carve out a way home by yourself." Wang Baole took a deep look at Chen Qing and replied softly.
Chen Qing was thoughtful, but he still had a lot of questions. With the passage of time and one year later, the seven-year-old Chen Qing, after all the questions in his heart were answered, on the day of his seventh birthday , Through spirituality.
The ultimate goal of children's enlightenment is spirituality. It is like catching a breath of the universe and making it a part of themselves. Generally speaking, most children will self-initiate in Taoist temples when they are seven or eight years old. Be enlightened and psychic.
Sooner or later, this time does not actually mean qualifications.
And Chen Qing's psychic channeling is also a little different. During the two years of enlightenment, Wang Baole has already kept the way of the underworld in his heart. How he chooses in the future depends on Chen Qing's own choice.
Also on this day, Wang Baole gave Chen Qing a birthday present.
That is... nine illusory balls of the sun, and an imaginary imprint, this imprint is like a moon.
Floating beside Chen Qing, this day...was also winter, just like when he came here, the first snow fell.
In the wind and snow, Chen Qing looked at the nine suns and moon seals around him, and looked at Wang Baole with confusion in his eyes.
"Choose one, as your first path in this life."
Chen Qing was silent, looked around, then looked at Wang Baole, hesitating for a moment.
"Can I follow you?"
Wang Baole smiled, patted Chen Qing's head, and spoke softly.
"But I have something to do soon, so you choose one first, and then wait for me to come back."
Chen Qing nodded happily, then swept to the surrounding Jiuyang and the moon seal, and grabbed the moon seal in his hand.
"Then I'll choose this first."
Following his choice, a long laugh came from the sky, Situ's figure transformed into the sky, and he walked step by step. Among the clouds and mists behind him, nine vast figures could be vaguely seen. They all sighed and nodded to Wang Baole , after Wang Baole returned the gift with a smile, they left one after another.
Only Situ took big strides and landed beside Wang Baole and Chen Qing, laughing.
"Baole, Chen Qing's vision surpasses yours too much. I have confiscated my disciples for too many years. I barely accepted half of them back then, and I taught a supreme being just so-so." Situ laughed loudly, and Wang Baole beside him also He laughed, then his expression became serious, and he bowed deeply to Situ.
"Senior, thank you."
"With me here, don't worry about everything, Chen Qing, let's go." As he said, Situ waved his big hand, rolled Chen Qing, and went straight to the sky.
"Taoist..." From the sky, Chen Qing's reluctant voice came. In his eyes, the Taoist temple was shrinking, and the city was also shrinking. Only the gentle Taoist, waving figure, always existed.
"Don't be sad, little guy. Your junior brother has something to deal with, and he will be back soon." Situ said with a smile.
"My junior brother?" Chen Qing was taken aback.
"Yeah, I don't dare to be your first master, I can only count as half of it, because you are the disciple accepted by Wang Baole on behalf of his master, and he is willing to let you be his senior brother, so little guy, you have to work hard to cultivate La."
"Uh..." Chen Qing's eyes were once again dazed, and when he was about to speak again, the city he looked at was already insignificant and farther and farther away.
In the Taoist temple, the wind and snow were still there. Wang Baole stood there, staring at the figure of his senior brother who was gradually going away. The snowflakes that fell on the ground seemed to also fall on Wang Baole's heart, forming circles of ripples, gradually spreading out, blowing him away. Body and soul pervade it.
After a long, long time, Wang Baole's smile became more and more gentle, he turned around and walked into the distance, one step at a time...
In the previous life, you stood in front of me and sheltered me from the wind and rain at the beginning of my cultivation, so that the cold wind could not freeze my body and the rain could not reach my soul.
No matter how my life is going, your figure is always on a high place, silently paying attention, reaching out in crisis, melting away in nothingness, making me go smoothly and happily.
Because, I am your younger brother.
Because, you are my brother.
Your tall figure is like a big tree in my eyes, and most of the time, you are not even like a senior brother, but more like a master, and more like my real elder brother.
I can't forget the first time you appeared, dressed in a green shirt, a gourd of wine, a wooden sword, with long flowing hair, like a sword, like a fairy, out of the world, extraordinary.
I can't forget, the back of your parting, the green shirt has turned black, the gourd has become turbid wine, the wooden sword has spots, everything is bleak.
I looked at you, melting into nothingness, and I knew that you were not only seeking your own way, but also... for you, a worthless junior, to verify the broken way.
At this moment, staring at you, in my mind, I unconsciously recall the path of cultivation in that life, with your favor for me, your protection for me, your kindness for me, and your love for me. smile.
Chen Qing, Chen Qing.
"In this life, I will protect you well."
"In this life, I will take you into the Tao."
"In this life, I'm still your junior."
