Celestial Immortal

Chapter 500
There were three township examinations in a row. The younger brother Pengju was busy with the exams, and Chu Chen was not idle. He stayed in the small courtyard of Lingshan and studied the Spring and Autumn Classics with Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian.

"Spring and Autumn" is a history book compiled by Confucian sages. It records history with the spring and autumn style of writing. It does not use argumentative words to reason, but narrates history.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, Chu Chen never formally read the entire text of "Spring and Autumn", let alone deeply understand the meaning of the scriptures.

However, after working with Father Chen from the beginning to the end of "Spring and Autumn", Chu Chen found that he had already understood many principles in the book, as if he was born with it, and he had learned it a long time ago.

Not only is Chu Chen a quick learner, but he can often draw inferences based on what Father Chen said, and come up with some insights that make Father Chen's eyes shine.

A few days after the professor came down, Father Chen was surprised and couldn't help asking:
"Chu'er, your master Xu Pingdao also told you "Spring and Autumn"?"

Chu Chen smiled and explained casually:
"There are many classics in the Taoist scriptures that govern the world and save the people, and I understand it by analogy."

Most people think that the so-called "immortal way" is transcendental and free from vulgarity, soaring to immortality.

In fact, this view is biased.

Examining the word "immortal way", its origin comes from "the way of heaven" and "the way of humanity".

The way of heaven refers to the laws of nature, and the way of humanity refers to the norms of society and human behavior, and the correct rules for people to act.

If you want to cultivate the way of immortality, you must first cultivate the way of humanity. The way of humanity is the foundation of the way of immortality. On this basis, you can understand and master the way of heaven, and apply the laws of the way of heaven to self-cultivation and governance. This is called "the way of immortality".

Therefore, the way of immortality contains two things, one is self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the other is governing the country and helping the world.

From the "Tao De Jing", the king of all scriptures, one can get a glimpse of the true immortality, not only the hidden cultivation in the mountains, but many Taoist masters often enter the world of mortals alone, helping the world and saving the people, and saving countless people to become immortals.

Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, as a Juren, has profound knowledge, and he also dabbles in Huang Lao's studies on weekdays. Hearing his son's words, he nodded slightly:
"Being able to comprehend by analogy proves that you have a high level of comprehension, and you are a good seedling for studying. If you have not entered the Taoist school, the three of us, father and son, will study for the imperial examination. One day, by chance, there will be three Jinshi scholars in one school, and the father and son will be admitted together. The old Chen family will be glorious. .”

Chu Chen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "If my younger brother can go to high school this time, next spring, you and my younger brother will go to the imperial capital to take the exam. I'm afraid you won't be able to get three Jinshi in one school, but there is great potential for father and son to enroll together."

When Chen Jia heard the words, he felt a little guilty.

He is quite confident in his knowledge, but no one is absolutely sure about the examination room, especially after failing many times, he has no confidence in his heart.

However, the eldest son soared into the sky, and the younger son was full of spirits, and he was expected to be elected as a father. The pressure was too great.

However, Father Chen cheered up immediately, squeezed his fists, and said:
"Chu'er, try your best for your father, try your best."

Husband Spring and Autumn, Shangming the way of the three kings, distinguishing the discipline of personnel, not suspecting, distinguishing right from wrong, deciding between hesitation, good and evil, good and evil, virtuous and humble, survival and destruction of the country, inheriting the peerless, making up for the bad and abolishing, the great king is also
For ten days in a row, when Chu Chen accompanied the exam in Qingzhou City, he studied "Spring and Autumn" every day, never letting go of the book, and benefited a lot.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are based on one family, and the three schools of thought have similar approaches but the same effect.

After comprehending the Daoist scriptures, and then reading the Confucian classics, Chu Chen was enlightened again, and vaguely figured out the true meaning of the method of "Feng Du Mo Admiral Guan Marshal".

After Guan Shengdi Jun became a god, his Qinglong Yanyue Saber was so sharp that it could defeat demons in the three realms. There is no other reason. His Qinglong Yanyue Saber contains the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Chu Chen pondered carefully, integrated his own perception into the [Guan Emperor Method], and kept the "Fengdu Moguan Marshal Fengdu Moguan" with his mind on the spring and autumn righteousness.

A ray of black energy flew out from the gate of heaven, and turned into a red-faced and beautiful bearded man with his feet straddling a red rabbit horse and holding a green dragon Yanyue knife.

"Meet the mage!"

Marshal Guan bowed his hands in a salute.

The essence of internal refining gods is to combine my qi with the qi of heaven and earth, and to combine my god with the gods of heaven and earth. God will be closely related to the practitioner himself.

Chu Chen has good eyesight, and he clearly found that after studying "Spring and Autumn", the Marshal Guan summoned had some changes in the dark, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura.

"Marshal Guan, do you have any insight?"

Marshal Guan stroked his bearded beard: "Master Qixin's eyes are like torches, and I have realized the [Eighteen Spring and Autumn Swords] created by the emperor, and my magical powers have greatly increased!"

"Not bad!"

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

It took a long time, he had just read "Spring and Autumn", and it was impossible to achieve it overnight, but General Guan, Marshal Shen Miao, would be able to improve to a higher level immediately.

Right now, Marshal Guan's breakthrough surprised him quite a bit.

Marshal Guan's swordsmanship went a step further, from [Spring and Autumn 24 Knives] to [Spring and Autumn [-] Knives], and his magical powers increased greatly.

This proves that the advice given by Li's surname Guandi Dharma protector is a thousand words of gold, and it expresses the real key to the superior [Guandi Law].

After reading "Spring and Autumn" for the first time, Marshal Guan, the general of Fengdu, has made great progress in his swordsmanship and supernatural powers. When he encounters an opportunity in the future, it will be a matter of course for the supernatural general to make a breakthrough.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The little ghost boy had a piece of sackcloth wrapped around his mouth, pointing at the door falteringly, dancing with his hands and feet, and kept making gestures.

Chu Chen was a little surprised: "Little ghost, what's the matter with your mouth? A poisonous snake bites, and a bee stings?"

The little ghost pointed to his mouth, then to the outside, and kept making gestures.

Chu Chen didn't know sign language, so he couldn't figure out what the little ghost meant, so he shook his head immediately:
"Say something quickly, don't play charades."

"Senior brother, you didn't let me speak."

The little ghost ripped off the sackcloth, and said with a pursed mouth, "You don't want me to be a good omen, let me be quiet these two days."

Chu Chen suddenly realized.

He did say that two days ago.

It's really that the little devil's golden mouth is too powerful, and one bad thing is the crow's mouth.

To report the bad news, the younger brother Pengju was completely indifferent.

Good news, it's cold, but not completely cold.

Anyway, no matter what the omen of the little ghost boy is, it is not reassuring, he is restless and anxious.

The best result is to keep the little ghost from opening his mouth and cleanse himself for two days.

"Brother, you retreated last night, and it's almost noon now. The rankings are released today. Master Chen and Pengju are going to the Gongyuan to read the rankings."

"I saw you leaving the customs, so I came to see you, senior brother."

After the little ghost finished speaking, his face was full of urgency:

"I endured that there were no warning signs, and I didn't even dare to think about it. It almost suffocated me. Brother, you should quickly use the ear retribution method to see if you hit it!"

Chu Chen saw that it was almost noon, and he didn't hesitate at the moment. He chanted mantras, performed ear retribution, communicated with Qingzhou City Riyoushen, and inquired about news.

"Brother, did you hit it?"

The little ghost asked again.

Chu Chen showed embarrassment:

"Cough cough, the rankings are released today, Riyoushen is too busy, no one should answer me."
