[Honghuang] Donghuang Daolu is Tongtian's apprentice

Chapter 185 The So-Called 'Teaching Without Discrimination'

A stream of blue light flew down from the sky and headed straight for the ancestral land of the snake clan. After the bursts of pale blue light dissipated, the Soaring Snake appeared. He had just returned from the Heavenly Court, and he was ordered by Bai Ze to choose a few from the clan. With one hand, go to heaven to serve Emperor Ziwei.

However, as soon as he came back, he entered the hall, just sat down, picked up the cup and was about to take a sip of water, when he heard a report from the snake guard outside the door, "Report to the patriarch, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan is here and is waiting outside the barrier." .”

"Candle Dragon?" Teng Snake frowned when he heard this, and put down the cup in his hand, "What is he doing here?" He was a bit confused about his coming, but he felt a little uneasy.

Even though he didn't want to see Zhulong because of various things, he was a guest after all, so Teng She looked at the guard at the door and said, "Go and invite him in."

"Yes." The snake guard bowed his hands, then turned and went out, inviting the Candle Dragon outside the barrier to come in.

Passing through the delicate path paved with cobblestones, turning through countless corridors, and passing by various pavilions, Zhulong and the others finally stepped into the main hall of a palace where the Snake Clan received guests, and Teng Snake also got up from the main seat to greet them .

Teng Snake gave the guard a look, the latter understood, immediately bowed his hands and bowed, and retreated respectfully, Teng Snake continued to walk towards Zhulong, and when they were three steps away from each other, they stopped at the same time .

"Fellow Taoist Candle Dragon," Teng She nodded slightly as a salute.

"Fellow Taoist Teng Snake," Zhulong also nodded slightly, greeting him.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Teng Snake asked him to sit down, and he sat next to Zhulong. The two were on the same level, with only a table between them.

"I don't know why friend Zhulong came from a long way away, why?" Teng She didn't want to say anything to him, so he asked directly.

"Ah," Zhulong sighed before saying anything, "I'm ashamed to say it." He showed shame, "I'm here today to apologize to you, fellow daoist, for my worthless junior." As he spoke, he He bowed his hands and saluted.

"Fellow Daoist?" Teng Snake didn't know why, so he quickly reached out to help him, "Fellow Daoist, did you come here for the matter of the Dragon King of the North Sea?" He guessed that he might be here for Qingdai's mother and son, so he waved his hand and said , "I have already said that, I have already expelled my rebellious daughter from the family. If it is because of the two of them, then there is no need for fellow Taoists..."

"No," Zhulong frowned even more when he heard this, and the expression on his face was indescribable. Before Teng She could finish speaking, he raised his hand to stop him. "It has nothing to do with them, eh, it has something to do with it. Me, how can I talk about this?" He had a bitter face, even a little at a loss.

"Fellow Daoist Candle Dragon, what exactly do you want to say?" Teng Snake became more and more confused when he heard it, and asked after glancing at him.

"I," Zhulong wanted to say, but his face showed embarrassment, he hesitated to speak, but in the end he gritted his teeth and cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist Teng Snake, my ineffective junior Ao Shun, a few days ago, unexpectedly has eyes Knowing Mount Tai, above the North Sea, his words and deeds were inappropriate, and he accidentally offended Fellow Daoist Bai Yu."

"For this reason, I have already taught him a severe lesson! Today, I came here specially for this matter. If Fellow Daoist is angry, he will beat and punish him, I will admit it! Just hand over that bastard to Dao Bai Friends personally deal with it, and I have nothing to say!" Zhulong said very sincerely.

"What?" Hearing this, Teng Snake almost couldn't hold back his face, and immediately got up to stand up, but halfway through, he sat back abruptly. "Tell me, what's wrong with Ao Shun?" He looked at Zhulong firmly, and reconfirmed.

"He offended Fellow Daoist Bai Yu in Beihai." Zhulong gritted his teeth and said helplessly.

"Ridiculous!" Teng Snake slapped the table violently!At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind, 'Bai Zhen went out?When did you go out?where did she go '

"It's really ridiculous!" Zhulong thought he was talking about that bastard Ao Shun, and nodded in deep agreement, "Fellow Daoist, I sacrificed my old face to make amends today. Whatever you ask, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, a snake guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Reporting to the patriarch, Emperor Wa sent an order to call you back to the heaven!"

"Understood, let's go down." Teng Snake glanced outside the door and waved his hand.

"Yes." The snake guard retreated in response.

"Fellow Daoist Zhulong, I have something important to do, so I won't keep you any longer, and I hope you will forgive me." Teng Snake issued the order to evict guests concisely but with great accuracy.

"But, it..." Zhulong wanted to say something else.

Teng Snake interrupted him without hesitation, "Fellow Daoist, please go back first, we can talk about this matter when I come back."

"Alright then." Seeing him like this, Zhulong didn't want to stay any longer, so he had to get up and leave.

As soon as he left, Teng Snake went straight to the inner room of his dormitory without saying a word. When he entered the room, he saw a 'white scorpion' lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully. The 'white scorpion' on it turned into a milky white light and disappeared.

Recalling that Emperor Wa hurriedly summoned him back to the Heavenly Court just now, Teng Snake had a vague premonition.He didn't stop there, and after a few simple instructions, he immediately turned into a cyan streamer and went straight to the sky, flying to the heaven.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Today's Kunlun Mountain is not peaceful. Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao were temporarily placed in an empty room by Baihe Boy, and Sanqing was arguing endlessly in the Sanqing Palace because of the four of them. Of course, the main forces were Yuanshi and Tongtian. , Lao Tzu watched quietly from the side.

"They can't even change form now! How can they be considered personal disciples? If this matter gets out, outsiders still won't laugh at my Sanqing for being blind? Can't you know people clearly?" Yuan Shi raised his voice and scolded angrily.

"They can't take form now, but it doesn't mean they won't be able to in the future," Tong Tian strongly argued. "Personal disciples, registered disciples, aren't they all disciples? Second brother, why are you so clear?"

"They are all disciples?" Yuanshi snorted coldly, "We are the same as Jieyin Zhunti, we are all disciples of Taoist ancestors, one is passed down personally, the other is registered, do you think there is no difference?" He glanced at Tongtian with mockery in his eyes .

"I, I," Tongtian got stuck, he knew what he was talking about was the truth, and he didn't look at anything else, but just looked at the treasures Daozu gave them and the instructions at that time, a fool could see that in Daozu's heart, the three of them There is a difference from the two on Mount Sumeru, and there is a big difference.

"But, but, when the master opened the altar to preach, the old man treated all those who arrived at the Zixiao Palace equally, and he preached and taught. Now that we inherit the mantle of the master, how can, how can we divide the disciples into boundaries? ?” Tong Tian frowned, very distressed. "When preaching and teaching, one should be like a master, teaching without discrimination." He felt that this was the right way.

"You also said that the prerequisite for listening to the sermon is to reach the Zixiao Palace!" Yuan Shi looked at him word by word and said, "On the other hand, those who have not reached the Zixiao Palace are not worthy of listening to the master! Offenders will be punished severely! Just think about that six-eared macaque!" Yuan Shi reminded him by citing an example.

"Master's preaching and teaching is not the 'teach without discrimination' that teaches everything, but the premise of teaching without discrimination." Yuan Shi glanced at Tongtian, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you understand?"

"I, I," Tong Tian moved his lips. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't give a reason for a while, which made Yuan Shi stunned, but he didn't quite agree with his statement, so he had to He turned his gaze to the old man beside him.

"Brother, tell me! Which one of us is right?" Tong Tian had no choice but to ask Lao Tzu to comment.

I took a deep breath and didn't answer. Instead, my ears moved slightly, and I turned my gaze to the door, "Teacher Gengchen, what delicious food did you cook today? I can even smell the aroma through the bead curtain." Alright." He changed the subject as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yuanshi and Tongtian were really attracted and looked over.

"Master Haoling's nose just made new dim sum and new tea." As soon as the words finished, Geng Chen and Yu Ding came hand in hand, each of them carrying a tray, and walked in front of the three of them.

Geng Chen put the tray on the table, took out three plates of snacks from the tray he was carrying, and placed a plate in front of Sanqing.

I saw that the dim sum was only the size of a baby's fist, and it looked like a lotus flower. It bloomed layer by layer, rosy in the white, and there was a red cherry in the stamen. Although it was a dim sum, it could be made lifelike. people love.

Geng Chen took down the teapot and cup from the tray held by the jade tripod, placed them on the table, stroked the top of the cup with his right hand, and after the light blue light, three blooming red plums with five petals fell into the cup , He poured tea again, his movements were smooth and flowing, which was pleasing to the eye.Involuntarily attracted everyone's attention.

When the tea was poured, he gave it to Sanqing one by one. Sanqing picked up the teacup in his hand, and saw a red plum blossom floating on the clear tea, the faint plum fragrance and the light tea fragrance blended together, fragrant but not greasy, Although it is a red plum, it doesn't feel vulgar. Smelling the fragrance and looking at the lovely flowers, I feel very elegant.

Lao Tzu took the lead to take a sip, nodded slightly, very satisfied, "Geng Chen's apprentice has a heart."

Yuan Shi also took a sip, "Yeah!" After tasting it, a smile appeared on his face, "It's really good!"

"It's not bad! Refreshing and refreshing!" Tong Tian picked up the teacup and tasted it first. He thought it was good, and downed a cup in one go. At the end, he handed the empty cup to Geng Chen, "Apprentice, have another cup!"

"Master, although this plum blossom tea is delicious, it is cold, so don't drink too much, eat some lotus flower cakes." He pointed to the lotus-shaped dessert on the plate in front of him, "Try my new desserts. .” He lightly raised his right hand and signaled.

"Delicious, sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance of lotus, I like it." Tong Tian looked at the dessert on the plate, it was really tempting, he picked up the plate, picked up the chopsticks, and ate it between them. After taking a bite, he couldn't stop , mouthful after mouthful, while eating.

"Uncle Master, Uncle Second, you should try it too," Geng Chen looked at Yu Ding after hearing this, smiled at each other, and said to Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi again.

After hearing the words, Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi also picked up their plates and chopsticks, and started to eat, but compared to Tong Tian's feasting, they were much more refined.

After tasting it, Yuan Shi commented, "This product looks beautiful in appearance, crispy and sweet in taste, and it has a special flavor when paired with cool plum tea." It seems that he is very satisfied.

Although Lao Tzu didn't speak, his face showed approval.

"The disciple is also thinking about it blindly. All the teachers like it. That's the blessing of this snack." Hearing this, Geng Chen bowed his hands and said with a smile.

"But why is it sweet?" Tong Tian was a little dissatisfied after eating what was on his plate, and felt that something was missing, "Can't this dessert be made salty?" He asked whimsically.

"Of course, it's just that the fillings are different," Geng Chen smiled. "But no matter how it changes inside, in the end, it's still a lotus flower cake. It's ever-changing, but all paths lead to the same goal." He said casually.

"I just thought that sweets would make people feel good, so I used bean paste fillings. If Master likes salty ones, then I will try other things next time." Geng Chen glanced at Tong Tian and replied like this .

I thought Tong Tian would be happy after hearing this, but unexpectedly, he fell into deep thought, and even Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi beside him also thought about it.

"Thousands of changes, different paths lead to the same goal." The three of them chewed the sentence that Geng Chen said just now, the more they tasted, the more they felt that it made sense, they really answered that sentence, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did.

The room fell into silence, Geng Chen and Yu Ding didn't know what happened, they looked at each other, a little confused.

Geng Chen just wanted to ask about the new junior and junior sisters, but unexpectedly, Lao Tzu spoke first.

"Disciple Gengchen, Disciple Yunzhao, you go down first." Lao Tzu ordered.

"Then, the new Junior Brother and Junior Sister, they?" Geng Chen glanced at Sanqing with doubts in his eyes.

"We'll discuss this matter later, you guys go back first." Lao Tzu glanced at Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, ​​the three brothers exchanged a look, and after reaching an agreement, Lao Tzu said.

"Yes, disciple obeys." Geng Chen and Yu Ding bowed their hands at the same time, and left here with an empty tray.

In the Hall of Sanqing, Sanqing sat side by side, and the counters in front of them were filled with plum tea and lotus cakes. Of course, the dishes in Tongtian were already empty, but they didn't have the time to care about this at this time, but started to concentrate Luck and meditate.

They could vaguely feel that if they understood what Geng Chen said just now, it would be of great benefit to them.
