Chapter 4 Sensation
In the bookstore at the foot of Qingshan.
Li Qingchen looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
With a mortal body, one can understand Tao patterns at a glance without even needing too much understanding, just like reading ordinary fonts.
Literary talent?
A born scholar?
Taoist patterns are not just simple characters, they all contain Tao and principles.
If he could understand the articles written in Taoist patterns, his understanding of Confucianism and Taoism would make great progress, which is why he cared so much.
He, Li Qingchen, has been in the literary world for a lifetime and has seen countless geniuses, but this is the first time he has seen this situation, and he was stunned for a moment.
Su Changqing looked at the husband who was staring closely at him, and his heart was beating.
"So serious? Did I say the wrong thing?"
The atmosphere in the house was a little strange for a while. Neither of them spoke, they were both thinking about something secretly.
After a while, Li Qingchen slowly spoke, but this time his tone was much gentler.
"You could see it at first sight, why did you wait two more hours?"
Just now, Li Qingchen just wanted to simply complete the transaction, but now he has a love for talents.
However, when he accepts a disciple, he not only looks at his qualifications, but also his character. If Su Changqing's character is acceptable, he doesn't mind accepting a fourth disciple.
"Sir, this simple word contains profound meaning, and it took only this disciple to understand it," Su Changqing said.
Li Qingchen laughed dumbly. This matter was definitely his fault.
His original intention was to pass the test if he recognized the words, but people could see it at a glance, but it was difficult to open his mouth.
After all, it was Sir’s consideration, so how could it be a simple word ‘one’?
Dao patterns are difficult for others to understand, but Su Changqing can understand them at a glance, and he doesn't blame the other party for thinking too much.
But thinking of this, Li Qingchen looked at Su Changqing with interest and said:
"You can see the profound meaning of a simple word '一'?"
"Why don't you tell me, what meanings does the word '一' contain?"
With a smile on his face, Li Qingchen got himself a cup of tea and looked at Su Changqing teasingly.
He really wanted to hear what great truth this literary genius could tell from these simple words.
"The great road is simple, and the evolution is complex."
Su Changqing's first words made Li Qingchen's expression change instantly.
"Although 'one' is simple, it can be regarded as the beginning of all things."
"And Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things inexhaustibly."
"The teacher gave me the word 'one' when we first met. I think he wanted to tell the students that the road of thousands of miles begins with a single step, starting from 'one'."
boom!
At this time, Li Qingchen was so shaken that he could no longer hear Su Changqing's next words clearly.
"Tao generates one, generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things, so there is no end!"
Just a few words, but they resounded like a bell in the heart and set off huge waves.
He is the leader of contemporary Confucianism and Taoism, but it is precisely because of this that he understands the terrifying weight of these words.
Every word contains profound truths and mysterious ways. A few simple words cover a thousand things, and the Tao is the beginning of all living things.
And these simple words not only made Li Qingchen's heart tremble.
Zhongzhou, Holy Academy.
As a college founded by Emperor Wen, this is a place that all literati in the world yearn for.
In order not to bury the literary talents of poor students, Emperor Wen erected sculptures.
Whenever there are words of wisdom that can shock the world, they will shine with the light of Confucianism and Taoism, guide students, and tell the world.
Two days ago, a literary boy composed a four-character quatrain, and asked Emperor Wen to create a sculpture with rays of light and awe-inspiring righteousness, and asked the literary boy to build the foundation in one day.
Everyone talked about this matter, and even though two days had passed, it was still being sung in the streets and alleys.
But suddenly, the sculpture of Emperor Wen erected in the center of the Holy Academy shook violently.
boom!
The vast rays of light illuminated the entire city, and the majestic aura of righteousness filled the entire sky.
【The Greatest Truth】
Four shining Dao patterns appeared in the sky and never dispersed for a long time.
Everyone in the city, whether they were street vendors or famous scholars, stared blankly at the changed sky, and the whole city was quiet for a moment. But the next moment, the roaring noise filled the sky.
"Emperor Wen has shown his saintliness! Emperor Wen has shown his saintliness! The rays of light are shining all over the sky. What a great talent God has produced!"
"The Great Truth! He actually gave such a high evaluation. What a shocking article he wrote!"
"The day before yesterday, it was said that Emperor Wen's radiant glow has not been seen in ten years. I never thought that there would be someone who could make Emperor Wen create a radiant glow. This has never happened in ten thousand years!"
"A hundred feet of fluorescence is also worthy of a hundred feet of Wen Dao Caixia? These are two different concepts, okay?"
"No matter who it is, we must find him and summon Ruxian, yes! Call Ruxian quickly and we must bring this person back."
The great scholars of the Holy Academy were all anxious.
As a holy land of literature and art, their thirst for knowledge is much greater than that of ordinary people.
[The Greatest Principle] These four simple words made them restless like a cat scratching their hearts.
They wanted to see what kind of words they used to deserve such an evaluation from Emperor Wen.
Zhongzhou is boiling, but little does anyone know that the same is true in other places.
Eastern Region, Taoist Holy Land, Xuanqing Sect.
There are many Taoist sects in the world, but Xuanqing Sect is the leader, because the last Taoist Emperor came from Xuanqing Sect.
Recently, it is the day when the younger generation of many Taoist sects gather to discuss Taoism.
The high-spirited Taoists in front of the Taoist hall had lotuses blooming on their lips or revealed their magical powers, creating a lively scene.
But only the people from the Shenxiao Sect looked downcast.
"Hey, if the Taoist disciple of our sect had never fallen, he would have shined brightly on this day of discussing Taoism."
The leader of the Shenxiao Sect sighed softly and looked downcast.
"Senior brother, don't worry about it. Daozi is destined to have this calamity, it's just the fate of heaven."
"The most important thing right now is to establish a new Daozi. The younger generation of our sect cannot be without a leader."
An old man wearing a Taoist robe said with relief.
"It's difficult to establish a new Taoist disciple." The sect leader sighed after hearing this.
Taoist sects are different from other sects. The establishment of Taoism pays attention to fate and understanding of Taoism.
A Taoist disciple may not have high levels of cultivation, but his understanding of Taoism must far exceed that of others.
It's hard to choose such a person.
"Other disciples in the sect don't have this ability. I'll go down the mountain in a while to see if there are any suitable candidates."
The clan had just finished speaking, but before the old man next to him could reply, the world here suddenly shook.
Thousands of miles of purple energy rose from the east, and a vast mysterious sound resounded between heaven and earth.
The bead curtain stretches across the sky, the ground is covered with pearls, and green lotuses bloom from the void.
Such an auspicious scene made all the Taoist masters present stunned for a moment, and showed horror behind them.
Not only that, from behind the Xuanqing Sect, the portrait of Daozu that had been hanging for an unknown period of time was actually blooming.
Everyone was stunned, they had never seen such a scene.
But only one of the Taoist masters showed excitement.
"The portrait of the Patriarch appears. This is the appearance of a monk in the world that attracts the attention of all Taoist ancestors!"
"Find him! We must find him! Whether Taoism will prosper in this generation will depend on this person!"
After hearing this, before anyone else could react, the leader of the Shenxiao Sect had already stood up.
His fingertips kept making imprints so fast that afterimages almost appeared.
"Can't figure it out? Covered by the realm?"
The leader of the Shenxiao Sect had a ruthless look on his face, and he spat out a mouthful of essence and blood. The Dao Seal filled the air, and it seemed as if thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were emerging.
"In the Southern Region!"
There was excitement in his eyes, and he was about to calculate more carefully, but when a green mountain appeared, his expression suddenly changed.
"snort!"
Two cold snorts exploded in his sea of consciousness like the roar of gods, and the terrifying aura made him spit out a mouthful of blood, with a look of horror on his face.
