0386. Tao Follows Nature

Li Mu only felt that his whole person was in a state of confusion, and his mental strength flew out without any control, and he actually came to a boundless space, with no boundaries up, down, left, and right, and no sense of time. Even he himself did not know what was going on, thinking Difficulty concentrating.

This feeling is extremely weird. It is wonderful in my heart. I only feel an unspeakable joy. Just like in Journey to the West, Sun Dasheng listened to the lectures of Patriarch Bodhi and heard the ultimate point. He just felt overjoyed and beaming. But I would like to say exactly where I am happy, but I can’t tell.

Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries.

This is a mysterious and mysterious feeling.

A moment later——

"Old classmates, old classmates..."

Suddenly, a distant and very familiar voice came to my ears.

Li Mu was shocked and suddenly came to his senses.

But Wang Shiyu was watching him with concern.

"Wow, human pet, are you stunned?" General Husky looked at Li Mu with disdain and said, "You can look at a stone sculptured green cow for an hour straight. Are you stupid?"

Li Mu was surprised: "I watched it for an hour?"

Wang Shiyu said with a hint of concern: "Yes, you were staring at this stone tablet just now, as if you were wandering in the world, as if you had lost your soul. Now you are smiling, now you are frowning, now you are about to cry, now you are angry, the whole Xiao Xiao, at first I thought you were enlightening and didn’t dare to disturb you, but looking at your expression, it became more and more uncomfortable, so..."

Having said this, Wang Shiyu said with a worried and apologetic expression: "Old classmate, I didn't ruin your opportunity, did I?"

She had also read martial arts novels, and when she came to this time, she heard that the guards in the palace would also talk about martial arts matters, and she had heard a little bit about entering trance, enlightenment, and the like.

Li Mu shook his head and said: "It's okay, the time has come, so I can withdraw." Otherwise, how could Wang Shiyu's voice with no martial arts power wake him up from his mysterious and mysterious state.

However, in my senses just now, it was clear that there was only a moment of time, but I didn't expect that an hour had passed in the outside world.

When Wang Shiyu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good... By the way, what is on that stone tablet?"

She was curious and envious.

She had seen the same green bull monument and the words on it every time she came to Daoyin Temple with her adoptive father to burn incense, but there was no reaction. It was only the first time for Li Mu to come here and she saw it at a glance. , and entered a state of enlightenment... It's really irritating.

Li Mu recounted what had just happened, and said: "This Green Ox Stone Tablet is very strange, especially this line of words, it can actually arouse my mind." His spiritual power is as vast as the sea, and he cultivates it with [Xiantian Kung Fu] When he came out, he was far more than an ordinary saint, but after just one glance, he was led into a mysterious and mysterious state. This blue bull stone tablet was simply terrifying.

However, when he looked at that line of text again, he discovered something strange.

On the back of the stone tablet, the text of the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching has actually disappeared. The surface of the tablet is flat and smooth, and the stone texture is full of traces of wind and rain, as if the writing just now was an illusion.

Wang Shiyu also noticed something was wrong: "Eh? There are no words left."

She ran over and touched the back of the stone tablet with her hand. She was very surprised and said: "It seems that there has never been that line of writing. The stone surface is rough. What's going on? Old classmate, please feel it. I just fell into meditation and there is something there." No gain?”

"It seems like there's nothing..." Li Mu said subconsciously, looking inward with his mental energy, and suddenly his face was startled, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shiyu looked at him.

Li Mu did not speak, but raised his hand.

Ten meters away, a towering ancient tree hugged by five or six people silently turned into twenty or thirty pieces. The cuts were as smooth as a mirror. Then when it was blown by the wind, it turned into a ball of flames. With a slight flash, it was like a tree. Instantly disappeared into the void.

"Woof?!" General Husky jumped up.

"Wow, so powerful?" Wang Shiyu was also surprised.

Two people and one dog arrived at the location of this towering ancient tree.

I saw a big hole on the ground. When I looked down, I saw that the tree roots had been burned and turned into ashes. Where the tree roots used to be, there were holes of various sizes, like giant ant holes. Curved, even some hair-like root holes are clearly visible.

Wisps of hot air came out of the hole.

Wang Shiyu and Husky, one person and one dog, looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu was also surprised.

This is the first level of lethality of the [Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intent] that he had painstakingly deduced before.

The sword intention that he raised his hand to strike just now was basically invisible and colorless.

The intention of the sword has just come into being!

Li Mu was happy in his heart. He didn't expect that such an accident would lead to such an amazing harvest.

It must be related to the first text of the Tao Te Ching on the Blue Ox Stone Tablet just now.

Li Mu calmly realized it.

Under his control, the innate invisible body-shattering sword intents cut through the void. He gradually became proficient in the control and execution. In one thought, he could distinguish six innate body-breaking body-breaking knife intents, and transformed between the virtual and the real. The hair cutting is astonishing, and you can also incorporate Li Mu's own [Fengyun Six Swordsmanship] sword technique into it, and use the sword intention to perform the sword technique.

"It's really awesome."

There was a look of surprise on his face.

The sages on earth have already recognized that the Tao Te Ching is the king of all scriptures. Many scriptures and classics in later generations are derived from the Tao Te Ching. This is just a passage in the first chapter. At a glance Under this, he actually allowed his sword intention to take shape.

Li Mu suddenly became interested in the other collections in this [Morality Hall].

Wang Shiyu said that there used to be many tributes and pre-era relics stored here. If Li Mu guessed correctly, they should be some of the things left by the sage Laozi. If he could get these things, maybe he could Reach the perfection of [Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intent].

Although it is said that [Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intent] is a technique for attacking and killing enemies, and has nothing to do with realm, but one more way to save life is also a trump card. Li Mu now has [Five Emperors Sutra of Immortality] in hand, and [ [Innate Skills], it is not difficult to improve one's realm. What is difficult is to find one's own combat skills.

Moreover, I left the first chapter of the [Tao Te Ching] on this Blue Ox Stone. The other chapters of the Tao Te Ching may be among those pre-era relics, which I left behind myself. Tao Te Ching] Ah, it must be different from the ordinary copied scriptures on the earth in later generations. Maybe it will also greatly benefit Li Mu's cultivation.

At this moment, Li Mu made up his mind to visit Lin'an City, the capital of Song Dynasty.

Because according to Wang Shiyu, Taiyi Palace, which stores pre-era relics, is in Lin'an City.

He searched inside and outside the Morality Hall for a while, even observing with his heavenly eyes, but found nothing. It seemed that everything here must have been evacuated.

Li Mu bowed in front of the main hall before leaving.

When they returned to the monastery in front, the Eight Wise Kings had finished their rest and were drinking tea and talking with Zhao Ji.

Seeing Li Mu come back, the Eighth Sage King smiled and said: "I'm back, haha, have you gone to the Daode Hall? In the past, every time Yu'er came to Daoyin Temple, she would go to the Daode Hall to take a look, saying that there are There are traces of her hometown, but when I asked her where her hometown was, she didn’t say that Li Sheng and Yu’er are from the same hometown. I don’t need to guess, I already know that you will definitely be interested in the Temple of Morality.”

Li Mu smiled and said: "Yes, I do have some interest in seeing things and thinking about people. By the way, I wonder what the prince's next plans are?"

The Eight Sages King said: "I want to return to Lin'an City as soon as possible. King Jin is dead, and the situation must be in chaos. The other seven rebel kings will definitely compete for King Jin's power. I hope to help the Human Emperor attack and regain King Jin's fiefdom first. Defeat the other seven rebel kings one by one, so that our Song Dynasty can end the chaos and let the common people live a stable life again."

Speaking of the death of King Jin, the Eight Sages were also filled with emotions.

This powerful anti-king who caused the Northern Song Dynasty royal family a huge headache was killed as easily as an ant in front of the saint. This is the power of a peak martial arts expert. Why could a person from Jiuji suppress the power of a large empire in the past? Luck, that's why.

If Li Mu could stay in the Northern Song Dynasty and serve the royal family, the rebellion could be put down in a few days.

The Eight Wise Kings have such expectations in their hearts.

But at the same time, he also understood very well that the status of a saint is so revered, how could he be so easy to win over?

He took a look at his adopted daughter, and she seemed to like Li Mu. If he did something about this, could he keep Li Mu in the Northern Song Dynasty?

"In that case, why not let me take the prince back? It just so happens that I also want to go to Lin'an City to see the prosperity of the Song Dynasty." Li Mu said.

The Eight Wise Kings were overjoyed and said: "Haha, great, thank you for your help, Li Sheng."

Someone was giving him a pillow while he was dozing off. As long as Li Mu was willing to go to Lin'an City, he would have a chance to win over him.

Wang Shiyu looked at Li Mu with a smile. She knew what Li Mu had in mind, but she didn't point it out.

Li Mu ordered Yuan Ho to find Bai He.

Soon, in the shocked eyes of the Eight Wise Kings and others, a giant white crane descended from the sky.

After some arrangements, Li Mu left Daoyin Temple with a dozen people including the Eight Wise Kings, Zhao Ji, Wang Shiyu, etc., while some other guards of the Eight Wise Kings returned on their own.

Dao Qin, the master of Daoyin Temple, was at the gate, watching everyone leave.

The originally bustling Daoyin Temple has regained its tranquility.

"Master, the celestial script on the Blue Ox Stone Tablet has disappeared." A Taoist Priest with fine features and delicate features, who appeared to be only about ten years old, reminded in a low voice with a milky voice.

Master Dao Qin nodded and said: "Yes, it finally disappeared... This day has finally come."

"Master, what should we do next?" The little Taoist priest has bright black eyes, handsome appearance, and an expression that is far calmer than ordinary people.

Master Dao Qin said: "Let all the disciples below Cheng Cheng go down the mountain. Now that the world is in chaos, it is time for us, the Taoist disciples, to follow the instructions of our ancestors and go down the mountain to save the world and save people."

"Disciple, I obey." The little Taoist priest turned and left.

Master Daoqin stood at the gate of Daoyin Temple, looking at the endless blue sea under Niutoushan Mountain. It was already late autumn. Soon, the autumn wind would be bleak, and the vibrant green sea would turn into a withered yellow. A place where fallen leaves fall.

Daomen, in prosperous times, retreats to the mountains, and in troubled times, goes down to the mountains to save people.

This is the purpose.

Soon, many Taoist priests who had packed their bags walked out of the Taoist temple.

There were octogenarians with hair as white as snow, and young men with childish faces, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, including the young man Li Mu had seen riding a waterwheel by the pond before. Of course, there were also more than a hundred A fresh-blooded young man wearing a clean, starched patchwork robe.

Their whole bodies and all their luggage were only a small bag containing dry food, water, clothes and quilts, and an iron-wood stick for self-defense.

The Taoists of Daoyin Temple are also martial arts masters.

The Taoist priests came over with red eyes, holding back tears, and saluted Master Daoqin. Then they turned around silently and set foot on the road down the mountain, walking in different directions. On the way, they also saluted each other, and then they stood here respectively. Among the green mountains and green waters in late autumn.

Master Daoqin returned the gifts one by one.

When we go here, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the world is vast. We are going to meet the disaster in the troubled times.

Even though he has the power to subjugate dragons and subdue tigers, the killing calamity in this mortal world is terrifying. How many of the disciples who came down the mountain today will be able to come back in the end?

The handsome young Taoist priest who had spoken before walked out at the end of the crowd with his luggage on his back. His eyes were red and sparkling with tears. He also bowed in front of Master Daoqin and said, "Master, disciple, go. Okay, please take care of yourself."

Master Daoqin sighed and said, "Xuanjizi, just stay in Daoyin Temple."

"Ah? All the senior brothers have gone, and I am below the level of Cheng. I..." The little Taoist priest was obviously surprised.

Master Daoqin said with a smile: "If you stay in Daoyin Temple, if the world is peaceful and all your brothers and sisters come back, how can there be no one to open the door to welcome you?"

The little Taoist priest suddenly realized something and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you and Uncle Master...are also leaving?"

Master Dao Qin nodded: "We also have a mission that must be completed. How can we stay in peace during the Tao Sect's calamity?"

"But..." The little Taoist priest Xuanjizi was filled with fear and grief, and said, "But if this happens, wouldn't our Daoyin Temple be...empty?"

Master Daoqin smiled and said, "Aren't you still here?"

Xuanjizi burst into tears immediately.

The viewer suddenly changed his mind and left him behind, and said this. He clearly had a premonition of the great danger of what he was about to do, so he was not sure of coming back alive. But in this world, if the viewer wanted to escape, what else could he do? Can anyone stop him and his uncles? The viewer is actually determined to die!

"Guanzhu, I..." Xuanjizi wanted to say something else.

Dao Qin gently stroked the top of his head and said: "Chi'er, the Taoist lineage of China Continent may be passed on by you. Remember, after the mountain is closed, practice Taoism diligently and stop being playful. You Talented, intelligent, and destined to the Taoist sect..."

After saying that, his body turned into a stream of light and disappeared directly.

At the same time, dozens of streams of light rose up in Daoyin Temple, rushed to the sky, and disappeared into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Master of the Temple, Uncle Master...wuwu." Xuanjizi was in front of the gate, tears streaming down his face.

From now on, he was the only one left in the huge Daoyin Temple.

He stood alone at the door for a long time. Finally, he slowly turned around and walked towards the gate of Daoyin Temple.

"I will guard this mountain gate well. Brothers and sisters, they will definitely come back. As long as the bell at the door rings, I will open the door as soon as possible...and the temple masters and uncles, they will also Coming back."

Xuanjizi wiped his tears and said loudly to himself.

Boom!

The gate of Daoyin Temple is closed.

Layers of invisible ripples rippled, and the thousand-year-old formation was activated at this moment. The green bricks, green tiles, and brick-wood buildings were hidden in the void and gradually disappeared. This thousand-year-old temple was completely closed, leaving only a large rusty temple. The iron bell hangs under an old pine tree.

On the clock, there are four words——

Tao follows nature.

--------

Daozi actually has a special fondness for Taoist priests. I feel that Taoism is the religion that I was born and raised in China. Of course, there is no intention to oppose other religions.
