"I know." Zhang Tianyi answered directly.
"you know?"
"Yes, all things are born, that song that Sa Dingding sings."
"I x you..." Chen Zhao was furious.
"I know that all things are born." Zhang Tianyi's tone was still so unbeatable.
"Goodbye." Chen Zhao was about to hang up the phone.
Zhang Tianyi said quickly: "You have to give me some hints about what you said about the creation of all things. This is so confusing. I just thought of that song."
"Do I need you if I know? I just don't know, so I'm asking you."
"If you take it literally, all things are born from life force."
Chen Zhao frowned, but if he thought about it carefully, the meaning of all things being born is vitality.
But will it be that simple
Chen Zhao shook his head: "It really disappoints me. The best person in the world is at this level."
Zhang Tian was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. He felt that there was nothing happening at all, and Chen Zhao was just trying to make him angry.
"goodbye."
"You haven't promised me yet, don't lie."
"Didn't you answer my question?"
"You wait, three days! Within three days, I will give you an answer."
…
Zhang Tianyi directly summoned his disciples.
None of the Longhu Mountain disciples understood that Zhang Tianyi had gone crazy.
Well, their first reaction was that Zhang Tianyi was going crazy again.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tianyi is the most outstanding person in the world.
It is not that reliable in the minds of disciples.
Every once in a while, it's a routine operation.
However, Zhang Tianyi's status is still unshakable.
After all, a Heavenly Master is appointed for life.
This is not a term of many years.
Unless someone can kill Zhang Tianyi in advance.
But if they really had this ability, Zhang Tianyi would be happy to give up his position as Heavenly Master.
Zhang Tianyi coughed, and everyone in the next seat who was talking to each other fell silent.
"None of you knows that all things are alive."
"Master, I have heard this song. Do you want me to play a part for you?"
"Get out of here." Zhang Tianyi understood a little bit how Chen Zhao felt when he heard his answer yesterday.
It's really irritating.
"What I'm asking now is very serious Taoist knowledge. Don't give me some pop-song answers." Zhang Tianyi glanced at the disciples: "Does anyone have any ideas?"
"Master, judging from the literal meaning, the birth of all things should refer to longevity."
Veins popped up on Zhang Tianyi's forehead. Isn't this just repeating what he said to Chen Zhao yesterday
"If it's so simple, do I need you?"
Everyone had a headache, and Zhang Tianyi asked what the meaning of all things was.
Ghosts know what all life is, but they can't think of anything else except the song of the same name.
Their feelings were the same as Zhang Tianyi's feelings yesterday.
A mindless creature.
Is there any other explanation besides that song
"Master, you could give me some tips."
"Use your own knowledge and imagination. If I give you hints, it will only limit your thinking."
Zhang Tianyi himself was confused and gave a shitty hint.
"Master, I thought of something."
Zhang Tianyi looked at the disciple and said, "Get up and speak."
"The Nanhuai Jing mentions the word "all things are born". All things are empty, the great road is destroyed, all things are born, and the heaven and earth change. And the all things here are not all things, but should be the seven emotions and six desires, one's own emotions, one's own consciousness, and here Life is not growth, it should be something out of nothing. Our Taoists also emphasize governing by doing nothing, being pure and having few desires. The heaven and earth move but the heart does not move. So, Master, you want to urge us to cultivate our minds, nature, and our own virtues. No. Swayed by emotions.”
The corner of Zhang Tianyi's mouth twitched, of course he knew the Nanhuai Classic.
However, Nanhuai Jing was completely different from what he wanted to know.
Although he didn't know the right answer, he knew what the wrong answer was.
"No, think again."
The disciple felt depressed for a while.
This is the only classic he can think of that contains the word "all things are born".
"Master, it is recorded in the Tao Te Ching that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things. Is this the birth of all things, the three births of all things in the Tao Te Ching?"
Zhang Tianyi was moved, and Chen Zhao asked him inexplicably for many commentaries on the Tao Te Ching and derived Taoist classics.
He also asked him what the creation of all things was, and whether there was really any connection between the two.
Zhang Tianyi couldn't help but feel a little serious.
No matter how much he disdains Chen Zhao's state.
But Chen Zhao's cultivation level is truly the best in the world.
So he was concerned, and Zhang Tianyi would naturally be interested.
There is no guarantee that the path Chen Zhao is taking now will not be what he needs to face in the future.
"If we use the interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, the three give rise to all things, the fundamental reason is that Tao gives rise to all things, and all things can transform into Tao."
Zhang Tianyi's heart moved. His understanding of the Tao Te Ching was far better than that of many disciples present.
The disciple only gave a general summary, but Zhang Tianyi was able to gain some insights from these rough generalizations.
Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things become Tao.
All things transform into Tao, and all Tao is reborn.
Zhang Tianyi waved his hand: "Okay, that's it for today, you all should leave..."
The disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Tianyi added: "All of you go to the library and copy all the Taoist scriptures related to the Tao Te Ching. I want you to copy them by hand to deepen your understanding of the Tao Te Ching. , don’t go to the copy shop to make copies for me.”
Everyone was in mourning. There were not only 1,000 but also 800 books related to the Tao Te Ching in the library.
Zhang Tianyi is going to kill them.
But Zhang Tianyi turned around and left regardless of the crowd's wailing.
…
"Hey, Chen Zhao, it's me."
"Why, it's only been a day and you have the answer?"
"I already know what you want to bring about."
"Oh? You know?"
"Your creation of all things is probably derived from the three births of all things in the Tao Te Ching."
"Then what?" Chen Zhao was not surprised that Zhang Tianyi could guess the key.
If you can't guess this, Zhang Tianyi is no longer Zhang Tianyi.
"When will you return to China? Let's communicate."
"There's no need to go back to China. Just tell me what you've deduced. I'll be satisfied. Our deal is concluded and there's no need to go to the trouble of returning to China."
"I can't tell you clearly on the phone."
"Then just send me a telegram. This is not easy."
"Tao produces one, life produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. You are now at the stage where two produces three. No, maybe you are three now, and you don't know how three produces all things. Is that right?"
Zhang Tianyi is Zhang Tianyi. Chen Zhao has reached this state himself, so he can understand.
But Zhang Tianyi deduced the superior from the inferior.
With his talent and talent, I am afraid he is not inferior to that ancestor of the Lin family.
"If you want to know about the existence of all things, then go back to China. We can discuss Tao face to face, but we can't discuss Tao across the phone line."
