Chapter 199: Chickens Are the Way of Heaven


The sun shines through the door of the sutra hall and shines on the ground.

Old man Wu in the sutra hall turns around and walks into the light and shadow.

Rows of wooden shelves were placed around the sutra hall, and the books on them exuded a pleasant aroma.

He began to concentrate on taking care of the bookshelves.

The young Taoist priest Li Yi looked at Meng Fan in shock: "I didn't expect this from Senior Brother Niu Ba.

Grandpa Wu is usually very kind.

I don't know why he became like this today."

Meng Fan was not surprised.

He looked at the old man's rickety figure and smiled.

It seemed that he did not have good luck very often.

He reached out and patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said gently: "Listening to the scriptures is also a process.

That's a good thing, I just have a lot of things on my mind lately, so I'll come over for morning class tomorrow."

"Okay."

Li Yi forced a smile, turned around and walked out with Meng Fan, but bumped into a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was wearing a white Taoist robe, which was very different from the attire of Huyang Temple.

He should not be Hu Yangguan.

A disciple of Yang Guan.

After the collision, Li Yi made amends with the other party.

Taoist priests from outside often came to the Sutra Hall to talk about scriptures, which was not surprising.

The white-robed Taoist priest was about sixty years old, with a flowing white beard.

Seeing the young Taoist priest's thoughtful manners, he smiled, glanced at Li Yi and Meng Fan, and then asked: "Today I am the boat and you are the water." , we just met, is the boat carrying the waves, or is the water trying to overturn the boat?"

Hearing this, the little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, knowing that the other party was testing him, and as an errand boy in the living room, he was really incapable of answering such Taoist witticisms, so he shook his head.

The white-robed Taoist smiled, his eyes stayed on Meng Fan's face, and said directly to Meng Fan: "I'm not asking him, I'm asking you."

"Ha" Meng Fan was stunned.

How could he talk about the scriptures and Taoism with others?

Just now, he was kicked out by Old Man Wu because he had not listened to the scriptures.

He waved his hand and casually said something he learned in school, " The best thing is water, which benefits all things without fighting."

Anyway, water comes and goes, so after saying that, I continued walking out.

And what he wants to express is also very simple, that is, you go find others to trick others and I will not play with you.

However, when the old man Wu who was guarding the Sutra Hall heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked over.

Old man Wu naturally knew the white-robed Taoist priest, and he had a headache when he saw the white-robed Taoist priest.

The white-robed Taoist priest had been staying at Huyang Temple for some time.

Every day he would pester him to sit and talk about Taoism.

The questions were very tricky and very difficult to deal with.

He would always be asked until he was speechless and disgraced, and then he left with a big smile.

He almost had a mental breakdown.

Several times, he wanted to scold the other person away, but as the keeper of the sutra hall, he couldn't bear to face it, so he had to endure this torture every day.

"No, no, no."

The white-robed Taoist priest shook his head after listening to Meng Fan's words.

He couldn't help but grabbed Meng Fan's arm.

Meng Fan couldn't break away after tugging on it.

He found that the white-robed Taoist priest was very strong and was afraid that Since his cultivation level was not low, he squinted at the white-robed Taoist priest and pointed at Old Man Wu who was hiding aside, "The person you are looking for is over there."

"We met by fate."

The white-robed Taoist priest held Meng Fan with one hand, smoothed his beard with the other, and said a little rogue, "You answer me a question, and I will let you go."

Seeing this scene, Old Man Wu quickly turned his face to the side, as if he was afraid of the white-robed Taoist priest's words, or maybe he was afraid that Meng Fan and Li Yi would ask him for help.

"Senior Brother Niu Ba."

Upon seeing this, the young Taoist priest Li Yi felt that the white-robed Taoist had gone too far.

He smiled bitterly and said to Meng Fan, "You can just say whatever you want.

You haven't listened to the scriptures anyway, so it doesn't matter if you can't say it well." ” "Okay."

Meng Fan frowned.

He was naturally unhappy at being forced to ask questions.

He said angrily to the white-robed Taoist priest, "You can ask whatever you want, including math, physics and chemistry."

The white-robed Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed, let go of his hand, looked at the sky outside the sutra hall, and said in a loud voice: "I travel the world just to find the answer to a question."

When he said this, he glanced at Old Man Wu again: "Old Wu answered very well, but it's a pity that it's not the answer I want."

After saying this, his eyes focused on Meng Fan again, "You can answer whatever you want, no matter whether you know it or not.

If you can discuss Tao, just say what you think in your heart.

Now I want to ask you what is the way of heaven."

What is the way of heaven The little Taoist Li Yi was stunned when he heard this.

He felt that this question was too big and too general to answer.

He couldn't help but look at Meng Fan, hoping that his senior brother Mengniu Ba could give a convincing answer.

After hearing this, Old Man Wu, who was hiding aside, twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, walked a little further, lowered his head, and continued to pretend to organize the bookshelf.

"God's way" After hearing the white-robed Taoist's question, Meng Fan wanted to laugh.

He never thought that someone would ask him such a boring question.

In a scientific explanation, the way of heaven is the rules of the universe.

This cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

If he continues When it comes to the theoretical concepts of Taoism and Buddhism, it is even more obscure.

Anyway, he was not allowed to leave unless he answered.

Meng Fan was thinking about how to make some nonsense when the shadow of Zhao Xiazi, who played the erhu in the village, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he smiled and started talking nonsense.

"I have a friend who is a blind man.

He can't see the night or the day.

However, he raises two chickens and keeps company with the chickens all day long.

When the chickens crow, he knows that it's dawn and the chickens are in their nests. , he knew it was dark, and Taoist priest, you have very good eyesight, you can see the sun rising and setting, and you can see the black and white of this world clearly, but you go around asking others what is the way of heaven, then I will do it now Let me tell you, chicken is the way of heaven.”

"Chicken is the way of heaven" The white-robed Taoist was stunned.

He had never heard such a strange answer before.

He subconsciously began to use his own ideas to analyze Meng Fan's words, trying to prove that the chicken was not the way of heaven.

The more he analyzed it, the more shocked he became.

The more he discovered that the chicken was the way of heaven.

The chicken looked at the sun.

At the beginning of the rise, the first crow came out, and then there was the symbol of people dancing after hearing the rooster.

Therefore, there is a sequence of smells.

Isn’t it true that chickens hear Tao earlier than people do?

I also think that chickens have wings and do not fly.

This is in line with the Taoist saying of Zhongzheng, peace, and Taoguang.

Moreover, chickens can lay eggs, and eggs can also lay eggs.

Being able to give birth to chickens coincides with what is said in the Tao Te Ching: man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

The white-robed Taoist frowned and his expression became solemn, and then suddenly his body shook, and he realized that the chicken was indeed a living version of the Dao of Heaven.

"Chicken is the way of heaven" The white-robed Taoist muttered these words, and his expression fell into a trance.

Then he walked out in a daze, and soon disappeared.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the white clouds were floating and scattered like cotton wool.

Meng Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He found that the Taoist priests' discussions on the Tao were similar to those in school philosophy classes.

They were all about metaphysical things.

Otherwise, the Book of Changes would not have said "metaphysics is called Tao." .

In his opinion, these people are somewhat neurotic.

"Let's go."

Meng Fan said something to Li Yi and walked out.

Li Yi's eyes were full of brilliance and he followed closely behind Meng Fan.

He looked at Meng Fan's back with admiration and murmured to himself: "So the chicken is the way of heaven." , now I know it” "Wait a minute."

At this time, old man Wu from the Jingtang suddenly appeared and shouted excitedly, "Mengniu Ba, please stay." s: Someone asked about the update time.

Qingchen has been working hard to stabilize the time.

It should be better in two days, but the guaranteed three updates will definitely not be missing.

Anyway, there is no girl to ask Qingchen for the second time.

Here’s more, okay:
