"Disciple, please ask the Immortal Master to teach me Taoist martial arts..." Before Huang Junming took two steps, someone shouted behind him.
"Oh?" Huang Junming stopped and turned around to look.
"Disciple, please ask the Immortal to teach me Taoist practices." The Taoists saw Huang Junming looking at everyone and said in unison.
Huang Junming asked in confusion: "You are really willing to learn Taoist martial arts with me? How should you deal with the Taoist temples that you are all in charge of the sect? "
"This..." The Taoist priests hesitated. Originally, they just heard that people wanted to learn Taoist martial arts from Huang Junming and agreed. If they were asked to leave their foundation in the temple, they would be a little reluctant.
Suddenly, the Taoist priest who looked like a woodcutter came out and knelt in front of Huang Junming and whispered: "Disciple is willing to learn my Taoist skills with the immortals. As for the foundation of the inner foundation, they will be dealt with by their fellow disciples."
"Get up and answer!" Huang Junming was still a modern person after all, and he couldn't bear to see others kneeling in front of him and talking. "I wonder what this fellow Taoist is called?" Huang Junming suddenly became interested in this person who looked like a woodcutter than a Taoist priest, and asked in a warm voice.
"Disciple Ge Yanlin, Luofu Mountain in Lingnan, is a descendant of Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty." The woodcutter and Taoist priest stood up and replied.
"Ge Hong... is Ge Hong who wrote "Baopuzi"?" Huang Junming suddenly remembered a Taoist celebrity and asked in surprise: "Since you are a descendant of Ge Xianren, you should understand Taoist martial arts, why do you still have to worship me as your teacher and learn Taoism?"
"Immortal Chief, although his disciples are descendants of Ge Hong, when the past has changed, most of the Taoist Dharma passed down from his ancestors has been lost. Now he is just based on the reputation of his ancestors at that time, which is not what his disciples wish." Ge Yanlin couldn't help but choked up when he said this. "Since the immortal descended to the earth, Yanlin is willing to learn the Taoist Dharma from the immortal chief. On the one hand, he can contribute to the foundation of my Taoism, and on the other hand, after learning, he will shine his ancestors and restore the glory of his ancestors."
Huang Junming thought about gains and losses secretly, and ignored what Ge Yanlin said, but said to the Taoist priests: "Tomorrow, I will preach here. Anyone who is destined to be able to come here to listen to the sermons." After that, he took the two boys Qingfeng and Mingyue, walking towards the Centennial Palace without looking back.
The next day, Chen, Qingfeng knocked on the door of the Bainian Hall and said to the hall: "Immortal, Chen Time has arrived. Should I go and preach?"
Soon, Huang Junming walked out of the hall with a little tiredness. In order to deal with today's preaching, he spent half a night in the Sutra Library. After preparing the content of today's preaching, he had reason to believe that with the knowledge of this era for thousands of years, he would fool these Taoist priests from the Tang Dynasty.
The place is the same place yesterday, the futon is the same as yesterday, and the audience is the listeners yesterday. The octagonal platform in the early morning is a bit cool, which makes people clear. Huang Junming sat on the futon and looked at everyone, and Qingfeng Mingyue was still standing behind Huang Junming, but the whisk in Qingfeng's hand was replaced with a stack of Taoist classics.
"Since you have come, I will start preaching." Huang Junming's eyes swept across the faces of each Taoist priest and said loudly: "If you feel it is difficult to listen to or useless to you, you can leave at any time. If you have no objection, I will start preaching."
Huang Junming took a navy blue book bound with gold wire from Qingfeng and opened it and read: "The Tao can be told, the Tao can be told, the name can be called, the name can be called, the name can be called, the name is very famous. The nameless world is the beginning of the world, and the mother of all things. Therefore, it is often not there, and wants to observe its subtlety and existence, and wants to observe its proclamation. These two are both named after different names, and are called mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, and the door of all wonders."
The Taoist priests who were sitting upright and were about to listen to the Tao, and when Huang Junming recited the "Tao Te Ching", they couldn't help but feel a little disturbed. Which one of the Taoist priests had never recited the "Tao Te Ching"? Which one was not familiar with the "Tao Te Ching"? But as the preaching began, the Taoist priests listened patiently.
"......... Something is mixed, born before heaven and earth, silent and lonely, not to be the mother of heaven and earth, and can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, and Qiang called it Dao, and Qiang called it Dao, Dao is called far, and far is called reverse. Therefore, Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and people are also great. There are four elements in the domain, and people live in one of them. People follow the earth, the earth is heaven, the sky is Tao, and Tao follows nature..." Huang Junming did not feel that the Tao Te Scripture he read was as simple as the primary school text in the hearts of the Taoist priests, and continued to recite it on their own.
At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed since the sermon began, and some Taoists sitting on the futon began to get impatient. Some people had even gotten up and left. It would be better if they didn't listen to this "sermon" in their concept. But more people still sat on the futon patiently, but their blurred and erratic eyes were deeply betrayed themselves.
When Huang Junming saw someone getting up and leaving, he couldn't help but smile a little, and he didn't answer. He continued to read according to the book in his hand: "..... Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi is harmonious. What people hate is only lonely, weak, and not grave, but the princes think it is called..."
Among the Taoist priests, some people kept getting up and leaving their seats, and walked out of Huang Junming's sight without looking back. Soon, one-third of them left. Seeing that more and more people were leaving, Huang Junming was not in a hurry and continued to chant tepidly: "...Believe in words but not beautiful, and do not believe in words but not believing in words. Good people do not distinguish, and argue with arguments. Knowing those who are not broad, and those who are broad do not know. The sage does not accumulate, and thinks that the more they have, the more they have. The way of heaven is to do it but not fight."
After reading the "Tao Te Ching", Huang Junming looked at the Taoist priest who was still sitting on the cushion and did not say a word. The Taoist priests thought to themselves that it was finally over. It was time for this immortal to preach. So the Taoist priests who were still sitting tried hard to sit upright and stared at Huang Junming with hopeful eyes. Huang Junming secretly counted the Taoist priests sitting there, and there were still more than fifty people. Then he said to Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, get me another volume of the "Book of Changes".
When the Taoist priests in the audience heard the word "The Book of Changes", their eyes turned dark, and some even cursed in their hearts. Others also had a glimmer of hope for Huang Junming, hoping that Huang Junming could interpret a brand new "The Book of Changes" for the Taoist priests.
Before the Taoists could figure out Huang Junming's intention, Huang Junming opened the Book of Changes and read aloud, "Qian, Qian is the sky, Qian is the top, Qian is the bottom, Qian is Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. The first nine: Hidden dragon, do not use it. Nine two: Seeing the dragon in the field, it is beneficial to see the great man... The silence of Qian Yuan, the beginning of all things, and the beginning of the sky. The clouds and rain are used to measure the flow of logistics. The beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the six ranks are formed, and the time is riding six dragons to control the sky. The Qian Dao changes, each of them is correct in their lives, and they are in harmony with Dahe, and it is beneficial to Zhen. The first common things are produced, and all countries are peaceful."
The Taoists did not hear the new interpretation of the Book of Changes they thought in their hearts, but they still heard the "Book of Changes" that had not been changed. More people began to get impatient and stood up one by one to leave amid Huang Junming's reading.
Huang Junming saw more and more people leaving, and read more excitedly. Perhaps because he was familiar with reading ancient literature, Huang Junming actually brought a lively rhythm when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth. ".... Ben: Heng. A small profit went. Tao said: Ben, Heng; softness comes and text is hard, so Heng. Dividing hardness is higher and text is soft, so small profit is right. Astronomy; civilization stops, humanities. Observing astronomy to observe the changes of time; observing humanities to transform into the world. Xiang said: There is fire at the foot of the mountain, Ben; a gentleman dares to turn the prison to understand common policies." Huang Junming finished reading the "Book of Changes" in one breath. Looking up, there were still less than ten people sitting on the cushion.
"Well, you are destined to be my disciple?" Huang Junming asked faintly as he looked at the few remaining people.
Perhaps because he had been sitting cross-legged for too long, the Taoist priests on the cushion did not react for a while. He stammered and said: "The path...the path..."
Seeing these Taoist priests hesitate and asked in a stern voice, Huang Junming asked in a stern voice, "Do you want to wait?"
"I am willing to do the small path, I am willing to do the small path." The Taoists stood up in a hurry.
"Okay! Then I will accept you as my disciples!" Huang Junming suddenly found that Ye Fashan also lowered his head and asked, "Master Ye Guan, are you?"
Seeing Huang Junming's face was puzzled, Ye Fashan immediately echoed, "Immortal, Fashan is willing to be a disciple of the Immortal."
"This..." Huang Junming didn't want to accept a disciple who was so old, but seeing Ye Fashan's face was mourning, he seemed to be trying to make a fuss when he disagreed, so he had to change his words and said, "Okay, I'll accept Master Ye Guan as a registered disciple." Without waiting for Ye Fashan to speak, Huang Junming pointed to the remaining people and asked, "What do you call me?"
"Xiaodao Ge Yanlin/Feng Junzi/Huai Jingzi/Wan Mingzi/Mu Xuanzi pays homage to Master."
Huang Junming nodded, stood up and said, "Tomorrow, you are waiting here, I will tell you the great way."
"Master, I have a detailed inquiry from you. I don't know what the teacher said about "My destiny" and then the "Book of Changes" means?" Ge Yanlin asked in confusion.
"Those who are Taoism must first be calm and have perseverance. Even if you can't listen to Taoist scriptures, you can't listen to them continuously, so how can you practice Taoism?"
