Chapter 967: Tao, sentient beings! (2 in 1)

"Cousin, after the death of your master, why didn't you stay in Longhu

Mountain and continue cultivating, but you want to go back to Chang'an? Is it

because you didn't live well in Longhu Mountain?"

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Zexuan planned to take this little

cousin to Yunshan to learn more. On the way, Ye Fashan asked out loud.

Because in his opinion, Longhu Mountain is currently the holy place for Taoist

monks in the world. Li Zexuan has practiced Taoism for eight years, but

suddenly left there and returned to Chang'an. This makes Ye Fashan, who is

determined to use Taoism to save the common people, difficult to understand.

Hearing this question, Li Zexuan thought subconsciously: "If Li Zexuan really

stayed in Longhushan to practice the Taoism, where would he have a chance to

cross over here? Maybe it's already been reported from Wangye Yan!"

Even though he thought so in his heart, Wanwan couldn’t say it. He smiled and

said, “No, the head teacher and the younger teacher of Longhushan are very

good to me. The reason why I returned to Chang’an was because of me. Dad and

my mother are very old now. If I don’t come back and do my filial piety under

their knees, how is that different from a beast~?"

Ye Fashan looked a little unnatural and said, "Then how should my cousin

continue his Taoism in the future~?"

Li Zexuan turned around, looking at Ye Fashan's immature but mature face, and

said:

"Dharma is good, I think you have a misunderstanding of Taoism? Who said that

you can only practice Taoism in Taoism? As long as you have Tao in your heart,

where can you not practice? What is not the Tao? Why is it not practice? The

level of a practitioner depends on the degree to which Dao is used. Dao is not

the private property of any fairy gods and true saints, so why care where to

cultivate the Dao~?"

Ye Fashan was stunned. After a while, he bowed and hugged his hands in front

of his abdomen. From bottom to top (not his nose), he bowed and said, "Cousin,

I think Fashan has been taught~! "

Li Zexuan's expression changed. Ye Fashan's ceremony is very particular.

Taoism has three rituals and three kowtows. It usually treats mortals with

bowing hands, holding fists, and bowing, while toward gods, immortals, and

real people. This is usually a gift to the elders in the door. It can be seen

that Ye Fashan really listened to the remarks just now. Li Zexuan bowed his

hand back and said:

"Fashan, everyone has their own way, and the way of my cousin is the way of

the mortal world. Amidst the cosmopolitan dust, treat your family kindly and

help those around you who can do what you can~! Of course, my cousin also

hopes you in the future To be a Taoist priest, not to escape from the world in

the mountains and watch the dynasty change without thinking about the people

of the world~!"

Ye Fashan said again, "Cousin don't worry, Fashan is determined to learn

advanced Taoism, walk the world, save the world, and will never be the blind

Taoist who can only blindly avoid the world and practice~!"

Li Zexuan smiled and nodded, leading Ye Fashan to continue walking towards

Yunshan.

Well, just leave. His cheap cousin didn’t know which muscle he got wrong. The

Hou Mansion clearly had a horse but didn’t ride it. He didn’t want to do it if

he had a car. He said that he wanted to see how the people’s lives were along

the way. No, but I can’t tie this little kid on the horse~?

Although he had only been with Ye Fashan for one day, Li Zexuan already knew

that his cousin would not be able to pull back eight horses when he was

stubborn, so he simply accompanied the hapless child to go!

"Boom bang bang~!"

"Have a hard time! This soil is still loose, how can it work? Han Xiaodong,

didn't you kid eat~?"

"Liu Erye, to tell you, I really didn't eat in the morning!"

"Hey, you bastard, you know that you are poor with Laozi~! Du Teniang worked

hard, seeing the sky getting colder and colder, if it freezes and we haven't

repaired it, then we will delay the important affairs of Master Hou. Look at

the engineering team of the Fourth Regiment, how fast is their progress~?"

After leaving the city, I walked through a section of the official road, and

then came to the trail to Yunshan. After walking about two or three miles, I

heard a loud crash of "bang bang bang" and the noise of some people.

Ye Fashan looked over there curiously, but was blocked by a small hill, and

asked, "Cousin, what are you doing there? Why is it so lively?"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "It is the engineering team of the academy and the

farmers who are building the road. We can see it after turning this corner~!"

"Building a road~?"

Why is there such a big movement in Ye Fashan's road construction?

But the doubts turned to doubts, he lowered his head muffledly and accelerated

his pace. After a while, the two of them bypassed the hill, and they saw a lot

of black and crushed people, some with a big hammer and a shovel. There were

those who filled the pit with soil, and those who dumped sand and gravel with

their carts, and some people poured mud on the smooth road, but the mud turned

out to be blue-gray, which surprised Ye Fashan:

"Cousin, what's the thin paste in that car~?"

Li Zexuan looked at the direction of his fingers and replied: "That thing is

cement. It can be shaped like mud at first, but it will solidify after a

period of time. Once it solidifies, it will become as solid as a rock. In case

of rain, it will remain as it is~!"

"Oh~? There are such miraculous things in this world? Why have you never heard

of Fashan?"

Ye Fashan couldn't help feeling that the emperor was really different now, and

Nanyang and other small places were really incomparable.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Cement is only half a year old, and it hasn't been

spread to Nanyang. It's normal for your cousin to have never seen it~!"

During the conversation, the two of them had already approached the road

construction site, and an old man with white beard and hair, but a spirited

spirit, came towards him. It was Liu Erye, "Oh, Lord Hou, are you here? Why

didn't you ride a horse today? And this one is..."

Li Zexuan responded with a smile: "I didn't want to exercise my feet, so I

didn't ride a horse! By the way, Liu Erye, this is my cousin, who just arrived

in Chang'an yesterday, I want to visit the academy today~!"

When Ye Fashan saw that Li Zexuan was talking to the old man in front of him,

he didn't have any pretentiousness of Lord Hou, and there was no condescending

arrogance in his words. On the contrary, he still had some respect and respect

for the elders. He was surprised in his heart, but his face remained silent.

He bowed his hand to Liu Erye and said, "Fashan has seen Liu Erye!"

Liu Erye was somewhat "flattered" and said: "Eh, Mr. Lang is polite! Since he

is a family member of Mrs. Hou, it should be the little old man who greets

you!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Where are the words of the second master, you are

an elder! By the way, second master Liu, it seems that the road is almost

finished, right?"

Liu Erye wiped his sweat and said, "Hey! Master Hou, it's almost done, almost

done! There are still more than three miles of pavement left unrepaired, and

it will take about ten days or so to fix it all! It's just a shame. We,

farmers, are not very good at building concrete roads like this, which has

dragged Yuanyuan Gong and them back."

When Li Zexuan divided the "Construction Corps", he established five heads,

namely Hu Hanyun, Liu Erye, Cao Shaofu, Gong Minyong, and Ni Taifeng. Later,

in order to repair the concrete road, and the works on the academy side were

basically completed, Li Zexuan dismantled two "construction corps", with a

total of nearly 5,000 people, and came to repair the road specifically, one

was Liu Erye’s second regiment. And Gong Minyong's four groups.

Because Liu Erye's prestige in this area is still very high, so later several

villagers who came to help build roads are also assigned to his subordinates

and put under his management. As a result, Liu Erye's second regiment is now

in name. There are more than three thousand people!

However, these farmers who came to help have not experienced the “big project”

of Yanhuang Academy, and they naturally lacked experience. This led to the

fact that although the second regiment had a large number of people, the

overall progress did not make much difference with the fourth regiment.

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry, don't worry! Don't make

the folks too tired! By the way, Liu Erye, I asked my father-in-law to inform

everyone about going into the mountain to collect medicine. Do you all know?"

The dealers were willing to come and help build the road out of good

intentions. Li Zexuan initially wanted to give money to the laborers who came

to help, but the dealers were reluctant to ask for it. Later, after replacing

the wages with a bucket of rice, the dealers reluctantly. accept.

You know, the value of this bucket of rice is far lower than the wages of the

construction site!

Facing such a group of kind-hearted dealers, what can he complain about?

Liu Erye grinned when he heard Li Zexuan’s questioning: "Master Hou, we all

know! In the afternoon, it is said that every Zhuangzi will organize some

young and strong guards, even if he encounters wild beasts and wolves, he is

not afraid. Then each family draws one person into the mountain to collect

medicine! Hey, it's a pity that Lao Liu is not free now, or else I will go to

the mountain to fight wild beasts, and let the group of Guwazi in Zhuangshang

see their archery skills~!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile, and said, "Haha! Others are not old, but

Liu Erye is not old! Haha~!"

Liu Erye proudly said: "That's~! I thought that the people at the village were

hungry and anxious and wanted to go hunting west of Yunshan Mountain. I also

went there at that time, and I met a big tiger with a white-fronted eye, Lao

Liuwo. ....."

Liu Erye began to explain to the two of the heroic deeds of the year, Li

Zexuan was also happy to rest beside him, and Ye Fashan frowned as he

listened.

Half a quarter of an hour later, they bid farewell to Liu Erye, walked on the

wide and flat concrete road, and continued to head towards Yunshan. Ye Fashan

suddenly said:

"Cousin, the villagers go to the mountains to collect medicines, so why do

they use their swords against the beasts in the mountains? Everything in the

world has spirituality, and the beasts are also creatures. That mountain

forest belongs to their territory, and the villagers dominate the magpie's

nest. Not to mention, why do you want to rob them and kill them all~? Cousin,

as a Taoist person, not only do you not stop, why do you faintly encourage?"

When it comes to killing, many people may think of compassion like "sweeping

the ground to injure the lives of ants, and cherish the moth gauze lamp."

However, some Taoist priests do eat meat. The Taoist teachings do not support

killing, but it is not forbidden!

Li Zexuan was inexplicably stunned. He didn't expect Ye Fashan to ask such a

question. After thinking about it, he said in a deep tone:

"What you said about Fashan is actually correct. All ** things have

spirituality, that is, there is Taoism, and there is a difference in

understanding, and the order of cultivation is also different in speed! Beasts

are also creatures, so logically they should not Kill it easily.

But sometimes killing lives is for protecting lives, cutting karma is not

cutting people. When a beast wants to attack people, how do you deal with it?

kill? Or use your Taoism to influence him? The people are just mortals. They

just need to eat and wear, take care of the old and young at home. Everything

they do is to survive. Is this wrong? "

Li Zexuan remembered that during the Anti-Japanese War in the previous life,

Taoist believers held a gun in one hand and incense in the other. After

killing the little devil, they worshipped the gods here. Compared with those

Taoists who only knew how to avoid the world and cultivate the Taoism in the

deep mountains and old forests, regardless of the suffering of all living

beings, Such a Taoist priest is what he admires.

"Killing to protect the lives?"

Ye Fashan whispered a word, lost in thought.

When the sun was about to climb to the top of the head, the two finally went

up to Yunshan, stepped into the gate, and saw the tall and towering Yanhuang

Academy building. Even if Ye Fashan was prepared, he still received a huge

impact. Zhang Pingli likes the pretending little face, and he is full of

surprise and shock at the moment!

"How is it? Fashan? Cousin, this college is not bad, right?"

Seeing that this kid finally showed a rare look of shock, Li Zexuan said with

some pride.

"Gudong!"

"Well, it's not bad!"

Ye Fashan swallowed and said.

Isn't it good? This can be called a fairy palace!

Li Zexuan laughed ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and said: "Haha! Let's go! My cousin will

take you to the academy~!"

After all, he took Ye Fashan into the academy.

They visited the red building, auditorium, sports ground, canteen, student

dormitory, laboratory building, etc. of the academy in turn. Finally, the two

returned to Guanghua Building and came to the place where the telescope was

placed in the atrium on the fourth floor.

But I didn't expect to meet Li Chunfeng here.

"Heh, Daochang Li is also here~?"

Li Zexuan stepped forward and smiled.

"Master Hou!"

Li Chunfeng was working on the telescope intently before, and when he heard

the sound, he quickly turned around. After seeing Li Zexuan, he sighed in

relief and said, "Don’t blame Hou Ye, I found some stars in the past few days,

so I used this telescope. Be more diligent!"

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay! Isn't this thing made for human

use? Do you want to use it? Oh, now the light is so strong, is it not afraid

of dazzling eyes when the leader still uses this?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "I definitely won't be able to use it

right now. It can still be used when the sun just rises earlier. Oh, who is

this little friend?"

At this time, he noticed Ye Fashan behind Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan introduced: "This is my cousin Ye Fashan, the family of Nanyang Ye,

who has been practicing Taoism for more than eight years~! Fashan, this is

Daoist Li Chunfeng, now serving in the Taishi Bureau, with profound Taoism and

high-quality character~!"

Ye Fashan stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Fashan has met the

Daoist!"

Li Chunfeng gave a gift and said in surprise: "Nanyang Ye Family? But the Ye

family of Zhizhou back then? Who is Ye Jingneng from you?"

Ye Fashan replied: "It was the Yizhou Ye clan in those days. The person

mentioned by the Taoist chief was the uncle Fashan!"

Li Chunfeng murmured: "Uncle? You are actually a descendant of Senior Ye! What

a coincidence!"
