Chapter 30 Last Words and Instructions
Hearing Taoist Lin's words, Li Zhongyong and others were all shocked and gasped.
There was only one exception, and that was Chen Liqiu. Chen Liqiu seemed to have guessed that Daozhang Lin had died of serious injuries two days ago. Now, Daozhang Lin personally confirmed that he was only sad and not surprised.
When shock and sadness hit at the same time, people need time to recover and react. Before everyone could recover, Taoist Master Lin said, "Life and death are determined by destiny, come and go at your leisure, don't be sad, don't cry.
"
If it hadn't been for Taoist Priest Lin's warning in advance, everyone would have cried loudly. But now that Taoist Priest Lin had spoken in advance, even though his heart was as sharp as a knife and his heart was filled with desolation, they could only grit their teeth and hold it back forcibly.
However, everyone could only hold back from crying, but they couldn't hold back the tears that burst into their eyes. Every detail of their day and night with Daochang Lin came to their minds and emerged vividly.
Seeing that everyone was not sad and lost their composure, Taoist Master Lin nodded happily, "The art of sealing souls defies heaven and earth and reverses yin and yang. Although it can temporarily retain the soul in the physical body, it is like water and fire in the same cauldron, conflicting and killing each other. The reason why the master endures that
My heart aches because I still have unfulfilled wishes, and now I can no longer do it myself, so I can only rely on you."
"Master, it doesn't matter..." Batulu wanted to answer, but he covered his mouth before he finished speaking. He knew that if he spoke again, he would definitely cry out.
"The tomb in front of us is the eternal place of the Medicine King Sun Zhenren," Taoist Master Lin said. "Sun Zhenren is the master of Qihuang and the Taoist master. He rode a crane two hundred years ago. Sun Zhenren hung a pot to help the world during his lifetime, and his merits will last forever. However, he rashly touches his tomb.
It is indeed a disobedience, but the Golden Pill of Return to Heaven was researched and refined by Master Sun. If nothing else happens, there must be a Golden Pill left in the tomb. I am bound to get that Golden Pill. It will be up to you to obtain the Golden Pill later.
Send it back to Gezao Mountain and hand it over to the abbot, Taoist Master Luo Shunzi."
Every word Taoist Lin said at this time was his last words, and he was explaining the funeral affairs. He shouldn't have interrupted him, but Chen Liqiu had many questions in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Master, Ge Zaoshan has already sent you
Expelled from the master, you have been working hard for many years, why do you want to give them the pills that you have worked so hard for?" .??.
After Chen Liqiu finished speaking, Taoist Lin's eyes flashed with regret and sadness. It could be seen that even after many years, he was still brooding about being expelled from the school, "This matter has nothing to do with Ge Zaoshan, you just need to send Dan
Just give the medicine to Taoist Master Luo Shunzi."
"Why is it irrelevant?" Chen Liqiu said eagerly, "The abbot has a high position and is the second-in-command after the master. This person is your generation and is undoubtedly the candidate to succeed the master. If he wants to protect it, Ge Zaoshan will never do it.
You will be expelled from the school."
Seeing the sadness on Taoist Lin's face, Li Zhongyong knew that the words "expelled from the master" had hurt him again, so he frowned, turned his head, and scolded in a deep voice, "Third brother, don't interrupt, listen to the master!"
At this time, the most important thing was the respect of elders and younger ones. Chen Liqiu did not retaliate even after being scolded. He just sighed deeply, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head.
Taoist priest Lin raised his hand and took out a letter from his left sleeve, pondering
Afterwards, he handed it over, "At that time, give this letter to Taoist Master Luo Shunzi, and he will introduce you to become a disciple."
He did not accept the letter, but turned to look at Li Zhongyong. In his opinion, the senior brother should be responsible for delivering the letter. If the senior brother was confused, the second senior brother should take over. It was not his turn anyway.
Seeing the hesitation, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu hurriedly nodded to him and motioned for him to take the letter.
After receiving the instructions from the two of them, he took the letter with both hands and held it close to his chest.
Batulu raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, "Master, you are the only master in my life. I will not worship anyone else."
"What the boss said is that we will never accept others as our teachers in this life." Li Zhongyong expressed his stance seriously.
Chen Liqiu and three others followed closely behind, showing their attitude solemnly.
Seeing that the five people were extremely resolute, Taoist Master Lin was very anxious, "My master is not dead yet, are you disobedient?"
As soon as these words came out, Taoist Lin himself was stunned for the first time, because he thought that his life was cut off, but he was actually dead.
Taoist priest Lin thought about it, and so did the five disciples. The scene suddenly got out of control, and screams of sadness broke out.
Taoist priest Lin is the backbone of everyone. Although he is sad in his heart, he can only hold it back, "Well, I won't force you. You can make your own decision."
"Master, you..."
Before Chen Liqiu could finish speaking, Taoist Lin raised his hand and interrupted him. He turned to Batulu and said, "Boss, you are a good natured man with few distracting thoughts. You concentrate on practicing martial arts. In time, you will achieve great success. Among the few people at the moment,
You have the highest level of cultivation, so you must protect your junior brothers and sisters thoroughly, especially the youngest. I have no time at all, so I can only rely on your protection now."
Although Batulu was confused, he also knew that this was the advice and instructions left to him by his master. He nodded with tears and said, "Master, don't worry."
"First break the soil and dig in front of the tomb." Taoist priest Lin said.
He didn't understand the difference between digging in front of the tomb and digging from behind the tomb, but Batulu must have understood. After hearing what Chief Lin said, he took the shovel and started to work first.
After Batulu left, Taoist priest Lin looked at Li Zhongyong again, "Second brother, you are mature and prudent, and you have a measure of progress and retreat. I am most at ease with you. If you have no intention of joining Taoism, you should return home early, hide your capabilities, bide your time, and manage your business. If
If you can get more property, your senior brothers and sisters will be able to come to you to ask for food if they are in trouble in the future."
"Master." Li Zhongyong choked.
"Go and help. Remember to stop immediately when you touch the tombstone, otherwise you will not be able to help."
Raising a grave instead of robbing it will ruin your lifespan," Taoist priest Lin said.
Li Zhongyong nodded silently, turned around and went to help.
Taoist priest Lin looked at Chen Liqiu again, "Lao San, you are extremely talented and possess both wisdom and courage, but you have a fatal shortcoming..."
Chen Liqiu guessed what Taoist Lin was going to say, and before Taoist Lin finished speaking, he eagerly expressed his stance, "Master, I will definitely calm down and change my mind."
"It's useless, you can't change it," Daochang Lin shook his head slowly, "Temperature comes from nature. You are born like this. If you are just passionate, it would be fine. But you are passionate and heavy on emotion, so you will inevitably be burdened by emotion.
.”
Chen Liqiu stood bowed and silent.
Taoist priest Lin pondered and then said harmoniously, "Master knows that you have more than one confidante, but if you listen to my advice, there are more than tens of millions of good women in the world, and you cannot embrace them all. Let go when it's time to let go.
If you can’t have it, you might as well fulfill it.”
"Yes, Master." Chen Liqiu responded in a low voice.
"You also go over and help me." Lin Daozhang said.
Chen Liqiu turned around and went to help.
Taoist priest Lin then looked at Tian Zhengong, "Fourth Brother, the Tang Dynasty is currently experiencing internal and external troubles."
Hearing Taoist Lin's words, Tian Zhengong looked ashamed and lowered his head without saying a word.
"Repaying kindness to others is not the best," Taoist Master Lin said again, "As my teacher, I don't ask you to repay me with anything. I hope you won't be ungrateful and backfire, hurting my people."
Seeing the serious tone of Taoist Lin, Tian Mayumi knelt down solemnly and said sternly, "Takeda Mayumi will never forget Master's teachings. You will always be my master. Batulu, Li Zhongyong, and Chen Liqiu will always be my fellow disciples.
The Tang Dynasty accepted and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for 260 years and gave us great help. Takeda Mayumi will never forget it."
Seeing Tian Mayumi's seriousness and sincerity, Taoist priest Lin was quite pleased and waved his hand and said, "Get up, the youngest and I have something to say."
Tian Zhen knelt on the ground, stood up and left.
Watching Tian Mayumi walk away, before that, he only felt that Tian Mayumi's name was a bit strange. His real name was Takeda Mayumi.
"Sit next to me." Lin Daochang waved.
Hearing this, he was greatly frightened. Father and son were seated on different seats, and master and apprentice were seated on different seats. This was an ancient precept, and he naturally would not go beyond it. "Master, I can just stand."
Seeing his refusal, Taoist Lin did not force him and spoke softly, "Master brought you out but failed to fulfill his responsibility and failed to take good care of you. Do you blame Master?"
"No wonder, I am grateful to Master." She cried silently, speaking sincerely.
"Do you still remember what I said to you alone before?" Lin Taoist asked.
He nodded and said, "Remember, you asked me to learn to be generous and tolerant, and not to be ignorant of ignorant people. You also asked me not to accumulate resentment in my heart and punish others when they first offend."
"This scale is difficult to grasp. It is really contradictory. Master, think about how to say it so that you can understand it clearly," Taoist Master Lin pondered for a moment and said again, "To put it more bluntly, after you forgive the other person, there will be no resentment in your heart.
, and you won’t regret it afterwards, then you can forgive them. If you don’t want to forgive them deep down in your heart, then don’t force yourself. Give them the punishment they deserve for what they did.”
After Lin Daozhang finished speaking, he added, "Master, I remember it, and I also understand what you mean. You hope that I will always have good thoughts in my heart, and try to punish me with small punishments, rather than go on a killing spree."
"Yes," Taoist Lin nodded heavily, "I hope you can be tolerant and merciful to the world, but I am also worried that you will wrong yourself because you are merciful to them. Over time, you will accumulate a lot of resentment in your heart, and eventually you will be completely disappointed with them.
And kill him with pain."
"Master, why are you always worried about me instead of Senior Brother and the others?" He finally expressed his doubts.
"Because you are different from them." Lin Daozhang said.
I have been waiting for Taoist Master Lin to say the next thing, but Taoist Master Lin changed the topic, "It is up to them to weigh whether they want to join the Tao, but you must become a Taoist disciple, study the scriptures to distinguish yin and yang, and cultivate yourself with a correct mind to restrain the dragon and tiger."
"
"Master, I will never take anyone else as my teacher." He shook his head repeatedly.
"This is my master's last wish. If you disobey me, you will die for my master without ever resting in peace." Taoist priest Lin said sternly.
My heart was tangled and hesitant.
"Master, we have found the tombstone." Batulu's voice came from not far away.
Upon hearing Batulu's call, Taoist Lin did not stand up immediately, but looked directly at him, waiting for him to express his stance.
As the saying goes, once a teacher is always a father, it seems that it is a betrayal of the master to accept someone else as a teacher. Although it is very common for disciples to worship multiple masters nowadays, he is very repulsive. Taoist priest Lin is really forcing others to do something difficult.
.
"Are you really going to die for your master?" Lin Taoist asked in a deep voice.
I was reluctant and didn't answer the call.
Taoist priest Lin sighed and said, "The biggest regret in your life as a teacher is to be stripped of your Taoist status and expelled from the school. If you start practicing Taoism, and you grow up in cultivation and occupy a high position in the future, you can be posthumously awarded the Taoist status as a teacher, and
I will bring my master back under Ge Zaoshan’s sect."
Daozhang Lin's words had an effect, and he nodded slowly, "Master, I promise you."
