Zhou Man introduced Mingda to Daoxu, and after they met each other, he hurriedly urged him, "Call Daohe, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Dao Xu snorted and said: "You really like my senior brother more, I am all in front of you, and you still miss him."
Zhou Man shuddered, "Although Bai Shan is not here, don't be a monster, be careful I will stab you."
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, and looked him up and down, "It's been so many years, why don't you see much change, no progress at all?"
"Nonsense, I look young, but my heart has been tempered, and my experience over the years is not in vain."
Zhou Man: "You guys can really go out of Jiannan Road to practice. The last time I communicated with you, wasn't it still in Yazhou? They said they were going to visit famous mountains."
Zhou Man has a good memory, so he pinched his fingers and calculated, "It's only been five months, and you've come to the capital?"
You must know that the two brothers and sisters have worked hard for several years and have not left Jiannan Road. Every time they want to go out, they have to be called back, and all kinds of mundane affairs are entangled.
Daoxu shook his head proudly and said: "Speaking out will scare you to death, my senior brother and I finally figured it out, talked with the master and uncles righteously all night, finally broke through the cage and got freedom, so we went all the way north , It took less than a month to walk from home to the capital, and visited many celebrities during the period."
Bai Erlang was surprised, "Daoist Shouqing is really willing to let you out?"
Zhou Man gave a thumbs up and praised: "Amazing!"
"That's it!" Daoxu said: "Last night we heard people talking about a distinguished guest coming today, but we didn't know it was you. I walked past just now, and there were guards guarding me along the way. It's a bit familiar, and I won't look back."
He looked Zhou Man up and down, tut tut shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, I didn't expect you to become beautiful when you grow up."
Zhou Man couldn't restrain the smile on his face, "It's so-so."
Bai Erlang: "No. 3 in the world?"
Mingda couldn't help bursting out laughing, Zhou Man stepped on Bai Erlang's foot, signaling him to keep a low profile and be honest.
Seeing that they haven't changed much from when they were young, Daoxu almost let go of his heart, and the smile on his face became brighter, and he hurriedly said: "I'll call senior brother, you wait."
As soon as Daoxu left, Bai Erlang explained to Mingda: "We are good friends with Daoxu and Daoxu, and we grew up together."
Zhou Man nodded, "The relationship is better than the classmates who study together in the school."
"The Taoist temple is in your village?"
"No, it's in the next-door village," Bai Erlang said, "But it's not far from our village. It takes only a quarter of an hour to walk there, but it takes time to climb the mountain."
Zhou Man nodded.
Mingda couldn't help being happy, "Did you often go to Taoist temples when you were young? No wonder you always chanted about Tianzun, but seldom chanted about Buddha."
Zhou Man said: "When I didn't remember anything, I was often taken to the Taoist temple to burn incense, and the temple master Shouqing even gave me medical treatment and medicine, free of charge."
Bai Erlang said: "I was brought to the Taoist temple since I was a child to give money. Whether it is to accompany my father, my grandmother or mother to the Taoist temple, I will release it every time I do meritorious deeds. It is said that the master Tianzun will miss me. good."
Zhou Man stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Could it be that you are so lucky because you have done meritorious deeds since childhood?"
Bai Erlang was taken aback for a moment, and then he began to think seriously, then turned to look at the kid Bai Ruoyu who was playing behind, "Have you given me the merit money this time?"
The palace maid at the side was silent for a while, then bowed her knees and said: "I have already given it."
Bai Erlang hesitated for a while, and then said: "Let's go to worship in a while, and then let Da Bao'er give some merit money by himself, and let him take the money to give it in person when going to temples and Taoist temples, and you are not allowed to do it for us. "
The maids and servants answered "Yes" in unison.
When Daohe was pulled over by Dao Xu, Daoist Yu happened to be there too, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw the two of them.
Zhou Man said with a smile: "We are old acquaintances with the two Taoist priests, and we never expected to meet here."
"It's fate to meet thousands of miles away. This is the fate of the two junior brothers, Dao and Daoxu, and Master Zhou," Yu Daochang said with a smile: "Our temple master will not be able to leave the customs until the afternoon. Why don't we let the two juniors entertain the distinguished guests first..."
Zhou Man responded with a smile, and after sending Daoist Yu away, he looked at Daohe, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Is everything all right?"
Daohe nodded with a smile, "Everything is fine, seeing you like this, are you all fine too?"
Zhou Man nodded, everyone smiled at each other and sat down on the stone bench.
Zhou Man asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"
Daohe didn't talk as much nonsense as Daoxu, and said directly: "Firstly, the capital is full of talented people, which is where our fortune of the Jin Dynasty lies, so we want to come and see it; secondly, I heard that His Majesty summoned an eminent Indian monk to practice alchemy. I can’t get in the conversation, but I’m worried, so I still want to take a look, and it would be even better if I could meet the eminent monk and talk about Buddhism.”
Bai Erlang: "...you are a Taoist priest to discuss Buddhism with people?"
Daohe: "Everything in the world is universal. Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, what we seek is the essence of human beings and the essence of the world, so what can't be talked about?"
Mingda looked up at Daohe in surprise.
Zhou Man: "What are you worried about?"
Dao Hedao: "Although I think good pills have the effect of prolonging life, I have to say that there are no longevity pills in this world, let alone immortal pills."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of the world. Returning to nature is just to bring people closer to nature and live longer. I think the body will always die, and the soul is eternal." Daohe seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. He said to the stunned Zhou Man : "So the elixir of immortality in the hands of the eminent Indian monk must be fake, but the medicine is fake, but the dharma is not necessarily fake."
"Since he can be called an eminent monk, he must have his own talents. I want to discuss the Dharma with him."
Zhou Man felt that Daohe was much more powerful than Naluoer, because what Naluoer proposed would be done in the future, but what Daohe proposed would be in a farther future
Perhaps it was too shocking, but she couldn't help but tell Keke in her mind.
Keke is not a human being, it is a machine, so it analyzed the data and said: "This theory is also supported by many people in our world, and it is under research. They have confirmed the existence of the soul, but how to preserve the dead? The soul of intelligent creatures has not yet been defined, and this violates the law and ethics, and research is prohibited in the alliance."
"... You just said that you are under research."
"The issue is either side-firing, or an underground experiment secretly done."
Hearing this, Zhou Man couldn't help but tsk-tsk twice, and sincerely reconciled with Tao: "You are amazing!"
Daohe looked at her with a smile, and asked, "What about you, why did you come to Xuandu Temple today?"
