Chapter 61 On the Tao
After finishing her morning homework the next day, Wen Yingxiu left Su Beigu behind.
Those who should come will still come, Su Beigu is already mentally prepared: "Master."
Wen Yingxiu stared at her with a stern expression: "After you came back, you didn't seem to have put your mind on cultivation. This is what you said, the result of concentrating on cultivation at home?"
Su Beigu was unmoved in his heart, but asked after some contemplation: "What is the purpose of practice in Master's opinion, and what is practice like?"
Wen Yingxiu didn't expect that she would ask herself these questions in turn. The disciple questioned the master and disrespected the teacher too much. When Wen Yingxiu was with her, he always regarded himself as a teacher, so he never thought that he would be questioned by his disciples.
In her memory, Su Beigu has always been conscious about cultivation, even more attentive than her and her fellow disciples. It seems that Su Beigu has no interest in anything other than cultivation.Therefore, she never taught Su Beigu "the purpose of practice" and "what is practice like".
Wen Yingxiu said: "Before you asked me, did you have an answer in your heart?"
Subei Gu was silent, and Wen Yingxiu said: "Cultivation is also the cultivation of the Tao, the way of heaven, and the carrier. Only by following the righteous way and cultivating the spirit can one be content."
Her short sentence contains the Taoist understanding and interpretation of "Tao".Taoism believes that people's nature is not to be moved by external objects. The reason why they become impure is that they enjoy the pleasure brought by material things and desires because they are too tempted by the outside world.As long as you can resist the temptation to move your heart and patience, and integrate with the Tao, you will be able to transcend the trappings of the world.This is the ultimate purpose of practice.
Su Bei Gu Wenyan sighed softly, "This is not my way."
Wen Yingxiu's gaze became sharp. It wasn't that Su Beigu refuted her, but that Su Beigu disobeyed the righteous way.
Su Bei Gudao: "I practice the Tao to cultivate the soul, pursue longevity, and master power. I used to think that in practice, one should have a pure heart, be ruthless and desireless, and not be fettered by human relations. This makes my practice very Super fast, I can master stronger power than most people, but all this is just an empty frame quickly erected, vulnerable to the test of heaven. So I have been thinking about how to train myself and enrich myself so that I will not Be an empty shelf?
"Later I discovered that human nature is not perfect. Humans have the seven emotions and six desires. It is impossible to completely extinguish the emotions|desires, so the practice should not aim at destroying the human nature. And the practice is only a means, a process, not end."
Wen Yingxiu frowned, Su Beigu's words were really against the righteous way, and they kept stirring her nerves.Is this going astray?
Su Beigu saw that Wen Yingxiu didn't agree with what she said, so he took Zhong Xiangu as an example: "Zhong Xiangu has never cut off the relationship between people, hasn't she?"
Wen Yingxiu paused.Indeed, Fairy Zhong was very filial, after all she prayed for her father, her filial piety touched the heavens, and it was recorded in the book that the heavy rain alleviated the disaster.And filial piety is also the right way, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with Su Bei Gu accompanying his biological mother to perform filial piety.
But for some reason, she just felt restless, thinking that Su Bei Gu Ben was not like this, she should be like the Zhong Xiangu she saw that night, walking alone and unrestrained, free from the shackles of love, let alone that The constraints of the rules...
Wen Yingxiu shook his head, and threw out all these thoughts... Don't try to persuade Su Beigu, but let yourself be confused.
"Go out!" Wen Yingxiu said.
Su Beigu saluted her and left the hall.
At this moment, the Zhaitang was closed. Although Su Beigu was hungry, she didn't feel hungry after she went back to practice.
Tan Ruyi took Lu Xuehuan and Mu Xiuxiu out to play for a while, and came back late in the evening.After returning, she discussed with Lu Xuehuan: "Godmother, let's go back tomorrow!"
Lu Xuehuan was a little reluctant: "Are you going back so soon? Don't you want to stay with Bei Gu for a while?"
Of course Tan Ruyi wants to, even in her dreams, but she can't just indulge in love and pleasure.After coming here for three days, she has gained a lot, and she is already very satisfied. There are still many serious matters at home waiting for her to deal with, and she can't let go of the basics.
What's more, Su Beigu valued the rice. Since Su Beigu couldn't go back in a short time, she helped to send the rice pounded to Su Beigu to help him practice. ——If you really love someone, you should not prevent them from practicing, but should make progress together with them.
Tan Ruyi said: "Bei Gu also has her own affairs to be busy. If she delays her own affairs in order to accompany us, then we will only cause trouble for her if we stay."
Lu Xuehuan thought so too, although she was reluctant to part with Su Beigu, she still decided to listen to Tan Ruyi.
Just when Su Beigu came over to look for them, they proposed to go back to their hometown tomorrow.
Su Bei Gu was slightly surprised, and asked, "Mother, do you think staying in the Taoist temple is boring?"
"No, I'm afraid it will delay your business!" Lu Xuehuan said.
Tan Ruyi also said: "I want to go back and pound the rice for you and send it to you. After leaving it for a long time, I don't know if it will be rained or worms will grow."
Su Bei Gu smiled and said, "I see."
She didn't hold back anymore, but said: "I will go back in two days."
Tan Ruyi's eyes lit up: "Then we'll wait for you to go back together?"
"Don't mess up your arrangements because of me, I have to go to Yiyang County, and I will go back after the matter is settled."
Although Tan Ruyi didn't understand why she was going to Yiyang County, she didn't insist on waiting for her to go back together.
Before dawn the next day, Tan Ruyi put on her clothes, wrapped her cloak and quietly left the room.At this time, there was already a figure waiting outside the door in the cold wind. Seeing her, she felt very distressed.
"Bei Gu." He called softly like a cat meowing.
After Tan Ruyi approached Su Beigu, she found that the latter was wearing a crane cloak, with his hands stretched into his sleeves, but he didn't shrink his neck or shiver from the cold, but was quite contentedly looking at the eastern sky.
"Are you cold?" Tan Ruyi pulled Su Beigu's hand out of her sleeve, held it in her palm and started rubbing it.
"It's not cold." Su Beigu smiled slightly.
Compared to her, Tan Ruyi seemed to be more afraid of the cold.
"This is the coldest time, how can you not be cold?" Tan Ruyi said, shaking the cloak and wrapping Su Beigu in it.
Su Beigu didn't say anything, but just took this opportunity to kiss her.
After the kiss was over, Tan Ruyi still couldn't get enough of it, and said: "The sky gets brighter, and everyone wakes up. There are too many people, but I won't have a chance to kiss you goodbye. Let me kiss you a little longer."
As he spoke, he clasped his arms on Su Beigu's shoulders, hugged the person in front of him and kissed deeply again.
This kind of unrequited love that has to be guarded against someone showing up at any time is quite exciting, but they don't want to cause a lot of trouble because of this, so they separated after this kiss without being entangled for too long.
Tan Ruyi raised her hand and wiped Su Beigu's lips, as if she had stolen candy, she smiled sweetly.
Su Bei looked at her, quite puzzled: "Huh? What is Ruyi laughing at?"
"I don't know, I just find that I like you more and more, and I will laugh unconsciously if I like you."
Su Beigu looked at her tenderly: "As long as you are happy."
These two kisses dispelled the chill in their bodies a lot. Tan Ruyi let go of Su Beigu, pulled her to a corner and sat down, and chatted for a while.
The sound of the cock crowing sounded, and there were movements in the room one after another. Many people who stayed here woke up, and there were even female Taoist priests who had already woken up to do morning classes.
After Lu Xuehuan woke up, Su Beigu gave her some steamed cakes and steamed buns packed from the Zhaitang, and said, "Mother, take it and eat it on the road!"
Su Beigu gave Tan Ruyi another umbrella: "Although there is a high probability that it won't rain, this umbrella has a formation to keep out the wind and rain. On the way back, it is not so cold."
Both Lu Xuehuan and Tan Ruyi were extremely reluctant, but neither of them said such irrational words as staying.
After saying goodbye to Su Beigu at the entrance of the Taoist temple, both of them rejected Su Beigu and sent them down the mountain on the grounds that Su Beigu was too weak to climb up and down.
Watching their figures disappear on the winding mountain road, Su Beigu stood still for a while before returning to the Taoist temple.
She said that going back in two days was not to deceive Tan Ruyi. After talking with Wen Yingxiu, although her nominal master did not fully agree with her thoughts, she also knew that pressing every step of the way would only make her rebellious. Simply choose to keep the door clear and pure.
And before Wen Yingxiu practiced behind closed doors, she told Su Bei Gu one thing... something she thought she was good to Su Bei Gu and decided on her own, and it had something to do with Lu Youdao.
