"The appearance of Confucius is that Tao follows. The Tao is a thing, only vague. It is vague and vague, there are images in it; it is vague and vague, there are objects in it." A loud sound of reading came from a manor outside Yangzhou City.

A young man in white clothes and robe, holding a volume of "Tao Te Ching" in his hand, chanting, his voice was neither slow nor anxious, like flowing water, which made people unknowingly have a deeper understanding of the Tao Te Ching. Although the voice is not high, it lingers throughout the courtyard, as if telling the way of heaven and earth.

The voice of a man in Confucian shirt lingered throughout the manor. A young white fox blinked his big eyes and was carefully lurking in the bushes dozens of feet behind the man. A pair of furry ears raised alertly, and his agile eyes peeked at the man reading curiously. The big white tail behind him shook and swayed with the rise and fall of the scriptures.

The five thousand words of "Tao Te Ching" were quickly finished. The man picked up the "Analects of Confucius" beside him and opened it to recite it. The small face as big as a white fox was humanized and showed a hint of depression. The swaying tail behind him hung down weakly. It buried its head in its big tail in a disgusting way, revealing a sad aura.

Du Xu on the stone platform saw the pitiful appearance of the little fox, and he could hardly handle the scriptures in his hand.

"So cute, so cute!" Du Xu stopped involuntarily. A month ago, he had refined elixirs, took elixirs and practiced his body every morning, and recited classic Taoist scriptures in the afternoon, understanding the principles of his ancestors and cultivating his own aura.

Every time I recite, I feel that I have a deeper understanding. This invisible understanding may not be beneficial at the beginning, but there will be a helping force in the future.

It should be noted that reciting scriptures is also a method of practice. Reciting scriptures with sincerity and focusing on the scriptures is one of the methods of using one thought to replace all thoughts and entering into tranquility. More importantly, reciting scriptures has another function, but it is beyond the reach of general practice methods. When reciting, sincere and mindful, the mind is immersed in the scriptures. The human subconscious is constantly implied by the scriptures, and it also has a role to assist in enlightenment.

This little fox came to the abandoned house where he was chanting a month ago to play. He accidentally heard him chanting scriptures. When he heard it, he was immersed in the scriptures, instinctively felt the wonderful principles of the movement of the great way and envied the wisdom of human beings. In the future, it would come here every afternoon to listen to Du Xu chanting scriptures.

The little fox is very spiritual, not inferior to humans, and has a naive and cute temperament. Du Xu likes it very much, so he eavesdrops on it, pretends not to find it, let it come here to play, and sometimes he deliberately enlightens it a few words of the principles of practice. With the company of the innocent and cute little fox, Du Xu is very comfortable in seclusion. The progress of the body and soul perfection in one month is very considerable. If this continues, the time for the Taoist foundation to be perfect can be two years in advance.

Du Xu was determined to save this lovely elf, so he often recited the "Tao Te Ching" to open up its own nature of enlightenment and self-orientedness, and was supplemented by the "Analects of Confucius" and historical books to teach it the way of good and evil of mankind, and guide it on the right path, understand ethics and morals.

But this little slippery head, the Tao Te Ching about the great way of heaven and earth, is mesmerized, but the Analects of Confucius, which is about human wisdom and morality, cannot be listened to. When Du Xu recited it, he was dissatisfied with getting angry.

Fortunately, it was just a little depressed, and I still listened to the principles of "The Analects of Confucius".

At this time, Du Xu had finished reciting the "Analects of Confucius" and changed to the "Huangting Sutra". This is a classic about the functions of the human organs and the inner view of the gods. It embodies the functions of the human organs into the gods. It is a Taoist scripture that exists in Taoism. Practitioners can fully stimulate the functions of various parts of the body, and finally form the gods of the body. The gods of all bodies appear, which completely pushes life to another higher level. It is another method of practice besides the Taoist golden elixir.

"In front of Emperor Zixia Xu of Shangqing, Yuchenjun, Taishang Dao..." Du Xu's clear voice came out again, the little fox's spirit was also cheered up, and he listened quietly again.

Du Xu gradually became immersed in it. Whenever he recited a god, he began to think of the gods in various parts of his body. His Taoist foundation was almost complete and his spirit and flesh were strong. It was easier to visualize the gods in his body. In turn, it was more beneficial for physical exercise.

The three eight scenes of Huangting Sutra, twenty-four gods, Du Xu recited the scriptures once and could not make the gods appear all over his body, but he also visualized the gods appear most of them, which benefited a lot.

The little fox scratched his ears and his forehead and pressed his ears with distress. He felt that the "Huangting Jing" was of great benefit to it. Some places that understood made it look so beautiful. But after all, this is a scripture written by humans. Most places do not have a certain degree of cultural cultivation and cannot understand it!

The anxiety that the pearls and jade were ahead, but the unavailable anxiety made the little fox sit and stand up. It secretly poked its head out and looked at Du Xu, with its eyes full of grievances and accusations.

At this time, a rough and shriveled hand gently stroked its head, which scared the little fox's head shrank and crawled back into the bushes. But it was soon grabbed by the big hand and picked it up.

The little fox was trembling at first, but after seeing the person clearly, he said "Ao!" with a grievance, and his voice was slapped with a slight whisper. His right claw swung his big hand in dissatisfaction, causing the owner of the big hand to laugh happily.

This was a dry and thin old man in green. He smiled and hugged the little fox in his arms, stroked the little fox's snow-white fur, making the little fox squint his eyes comfortably and licked the old man with a flattering smile.

Du Xu saw this scene in his spiritual sense, his eyes were red with jealousness. Such a cute little fox was actually held in his arms by an old man. Even if the fairy sister didn't hold the white fox, I would be much better than that old man! He roared in his heart: "Damn old man, let go of that little fox and let me do it!"

Of course, he was just thinking about it, but in order to interrupt the warmth that made him jealous, he pretended to hear laughter and walked towards the little fox.

The old man in green noticed Du Xu's coming, hid the little fox away, and waited in place with a smile.

"The father-in-law laughs, but the students are unbearable to learn from? I hope you can give me advice." Du Xu gave a tribute first and asked sincerely.

"Not that's true. I saw that the young master had a good knowledge and often came here to listen to the young master's study. I just heard that I forgot my god. The young master was tickling my heart and I couldn't help but be happy, so I spoke happily." The old man in the green robe bowed and exclaimed.

Du Xu thought to himself, I believe you have a ghost! But he remained calm on the surface and said joy: "I have been studying for ten years and I have just met a soulmate today." After that, he invited him to the house.

The old man happily promised to return to the house where he lived with Du Xu. The two had a long talk in astronomy and geography. One of them was a thousand-year-old tree spirit, with a long life span and broad knowledge, and the other was a visitor from another world. People in their practice had a strong memory and had learned from two generations, and their knowledge was broad.

The two sat down and talked, feeling quite sympathetic. Du Xu recognized the old man's true form and praised in his heart: "Thousands of years of knowledge and wisdom are indeed extraordinary." However, the old man did not know Du Xu's identity. He felt that the scholar was profound in knowledge and lamented that the wisdom of the human race was indeed the beloved of heaven and earth.

The old man in green robe asked Du Xu tentatively: "How many granddaughters do I have in my family? I want to teach them to read and practice calligraphy and understand some truths. What do you think of it!"

Du Xu waved his hand and said indifferently: "The saint said: There is no difference in teaching. It is a good thing to read and understand the truth, and I agree deeply."

The old man was overjoyed and said, "Although I have some knowledge, I have never entered the school after all. Today I saw Mr. Xu's knowledgeable knowledge. I want to be a teacher for my children to read and practice calligraphy. What does Mr. Xu mean? "

Du Xu pretended to hesitate and said, "I can't learn enough, but I still don't learn enough. How to teach others is not a mistake?"

The old man hurriedly comforted him: "This cannot be said like this. The teacher is very knowledgeable, and I feel ashamed of myself. It is easy to teach a few children who are enlightened." But no matter what he said, Du Xu only said that he was not good at learning and still had to further study.

After two or three times, the old man realized the clue and realized it completely: "My family is rich and I give my husband ten taels of gold a month, and the books on the first floor are all rare ancient books for Mr. "

Du Xu complained in his heart that this fairy is really incompetent. He has just come back to his senses now. I almost couldn't waste you and agreed in one go. On the surface, he made some intentions, but he was unable to make up his mind.

The old man in green hurriedly persuaded him again and made various benefits, so Du Xu pretended to be embarrassed. When the old man heard Du Xu's agreement, he was overjoyed, and an excited cry came faintly from his shoulder. The old man hurriedly pressed his right shoulder and carefully peeped at Du Xu.

Du Xu pretended not to hear it, pulled him and discussed the teaching matters.

The old man said, "My house is relatively secluded and a little distance from here. I have no preparation today, so it is hard to take my husband home. Mr. clean up and I will bring someone to pick him up tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he said goodbye in a hurry, as if he was really rushing back to prepare. Du Xu looked at the small ball on his back and shoulders and smiled happily.
