Chapter 231 Discussing the Original Intention of Taoism

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the guests and disciples walked out of the resting courtyard in groups of three or two.

On the way, they occasionally discussed the wonderful events of yesterday.

Whether it was the delicious food or the wonderful duel, everyone was looking forward to this discussion meeting.

In the martial arts arena, Jiang Lan and others were already waiting.

After all, the discussion of the Dao was also beneficial to many disciples, so naturally a large place had to be chosen.

And this martial arts arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of people was the best venue.

After the renovation, except for the high platform in the middle, there were cushion seats below, which were convenient for seating.

A group of foundation builders drank wine and tea.

Su Zhi drank another glass of blood spirit wine and exhaled: "It's great, this wine is really good! It's worthy of being brewed by Lan boy!"

Jiang Lan accompanied him, "Old Su likes it, take some back when you leave..."

"Haha, then I'll be disrespectful!"

As time passed, the guests took their seats one after another.

"Xiao Lan, get ready!" Jiang Qing reminded.

"Yes."

Jiang Lan pointed his finger at his throat and tapped it lightly.

'Amplification', a simple little spell, but very practical.

"Welcome all fellow Taoists to participate in Jiang's discussion meeting."

"This time, Jiang will also share some of his own breakthrough insights with fellow Taoists, hoping to give you some help on the road."

Jiang Lan's voice began to echo in the martial arts field.

Listen, what is high emotional intelligence!

Originally, everyone came for the discussion, but after hearing this, it seemed that they were supporting Jiang Lan!

The audience who came here felt like a spring breeze blowing on their faces, and they felt very comfortable.

As for Jiang Lan's evaluation, it was like riding a rocket.

One by one, they sat cross-legged and waited for Jiang Lan's preaching.

Seeing Jiang Lan's casual control of the scene, the foundation-building cultivators couldn't help but look forward to Jiang Lan's high-sounding theory.

"Before we begin, I want to ask you a question..."

"Why do you cultivate immortality?"

When this question came out, everyone who came here was stunned. Do you need to think about this question? Of course...

Several answers echoed in their minds, but since the one asking was Jiang Lan, they felt that it should not be so simple.

When everyone saw that Jiang Lan did not continue to talk, they knew that this was the time for everyone to communicate and discuss.

Gradually, the whispering began.

They exchanged their answers and found that everyone's conclusions seemed to be similar.

After a while, they stopped communicating and looked at Jiang Lan on the stage, waiting for his next words.

The foundation-building cultivators looked at each other and saw the strangeness in each other's eyes.

They tried to answer this question, but then suddenly found that this question was not that simple.

Su Zhi took a sip of wine, wiped the spilled wine with his hand, looked at Jiang Lan's back, and said: "This question seems simple, but it goes straight to the point!"

Lin Zhisheng put down the teacup, brushed his beard and continued: "This question is about the original intention, but there are probably few people who can answer it..."

Jiang Lan saw that everyone had almost finished discussing it, so he took over the topic.

"Longevity? Power? Authority? Status?"

Jiang Lan followed their answers and asked one by one, and everyone below nodded unconsciously.

"Hehe, put these aside for now, let me tell you a story that happened to me..."

"Ten years ago, there was a heavy rain, and I hadn't set foot on the immortal road at that time..."

What Jiang Lan said was what he realized and thought on the top of the mortal mountain when he returned home.

It was also that enlightenment that made him see the future and the way forward.

He has been on this immortal road for a short time, and he dare not say that he has understood the truth of this world.

He could only share his experience to give everyone another idea, in return for the gift.

The people below listened attentively, occasionally thinking.

Some people were interested in Jiang Lan's experience. They didn't expect that this genius who was very outstanding in the eyes of outsiders.

There were times when he was powerless.

After such a narration, his halo faded a little, making people feel closer.

When the story was finished, Jiang Lan brought everyone back to the previous question.

"So, why did I cultivate immortality in the first place?"

"Because——"

"Immortals can do what humans cannot do."

"Immortals can live what humans cannot live."

"Immortals can see what humans cannot see."

"That's right, the reason why I cultivate immortality is for 'longevity' and 'supernatural powers', there is nothing wrong with that."

"This is my original intention. Follow your heart and look directly at your true self, that is cultivation!"

"What is the meaning of cultivating immortality, cultivating Taoism, and seeking immortality?"

"Understand the truth, understand yourself, and find your true self, and understand it yourself!"

"So, try to find your original intention. Only by seeing where you came from can you know whether you are on the path in your heart!"

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, there was silence in the venue. Jiang Lan's words seemed to contain a certain charm, cleansing their hearts and leading them to understand and think!

Everyone was thinking, and everyone was trying to find their original vision.

"Senior! My original intention was Cuihua from our village. I like her! I want to lead her to a good life, so... I embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. Does this... count?"

A dark-skinned boy couldn't help but stand up and asked Jiang Lan.

His movements were so big that they attracted everyone's attention. As he spoke, he became more and more embarrassed, but he still finished his speech stutteringly...

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh a little. Most people thought that this initial intention was far inferior to Jiang Lan and themselves.

A small number of people blushed. I think they might be the same, but they didn't stand up.

The rest frowned slightly. They thought it was too outrageous to laugh like this.

The boy looked at Jiang Lan expectantly, concentrating, and ignored the laughter of others.

"Why not!"

Jiang Lan changed his previous gentle voice and said seriously, which stopped the laughter.

He looked directly at the boy, with encouragement in his eyes: "Ask what love is in the world, it makes people live and die together..."

"Some people forget love, some people are devoted to love, who can judge!"

"In my opinion, there is no difference between initial intention and initial intention, only consistency..."

Every word of Jiang Lan is so powerful, calming the ridicule of the crowd and encouraging the boy.

Boom, boom, boom...

The boy covered his chest and felt his heart beating vigorously. This was excitement! The joy of being recognized!

He looked up, and his bright eyes met Jiang Lan's.

Jiang Lan nodded gently at him and sent his blessing: "May your original intention remain unchanged and your path be evergreen."

The boy raised his hands and bowed ninety times.

"Student Yuan Chu, thank you Master Lan!"

The voice was loud, a little broken, and a little hoarse.

Everyone could feel his sincerity and excitement, and those who had laughed at him before also bowed their heads in shame.

The moment Yuan Chu looked up, he seemed to see that morning, he carried his bag and was about to go on a long journey.

The girl he liked handed him a hand-woven amulet.

After he took it, he carefully kept it close to his body...

He smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, when I learn the skills, I will take you to live in a big house, wear a flowery skirt, and eat osmanthus cake!"

"So wait for me to come back!"

"Well..."

This promise is always remembered in his heart, spurring him to keep working hard!

And the amulet is now hanging around his neck.

"This is the way Master Lan said..."

"Then..."

Of course, when he opened his eyes again, a starry avenue was under his feet, and the way was his farewell to Cuihua.

Turning his head, the avenue went straight to the sky, and there was no end in sight, but he still stepped on it without hesitation.

"Because Cuihua is watching!"

In reality, the rhyme of Taoism was pervasive, and the spiritual energy was hanging upside down.

On the high platform, Su Zhi, the rough man, was the first to be unable to sit still, "My goodness, Lan kid said that I had an epiphany!"
