Chapter 105: Tao of Taoists Dong lai

Donglai Taoist smiled and then looked at Li Changsheng seriously, saying, "Master has been praising you for your intelligence. Guess, as a Taoist, why do I love wealth so much?"

Li Changsheng saw his strange smile, but he inexplicably asked himself. He thought to himself, "you are greedy for worldly wealth, like gold and silver, and your food and clothing are all very luxurious. This is your greedy nature, what can be guessed? "

But Donglai Taoist is his senior brother, and even his master did not criticize him. Why should I blame him? Everyone has their own ideals, I want to pursue the limits of life, he wants to pursue wealth and happiness, as long as it is not illegal or immoral, this is normal human nature. I might as well kick the ball back.

Since senior brother likes humor and wit, I'll play with him. So Li Changsheng nodded and pretended to be thoughtful before exclaiming, "Senior Brother is good at management. I think if Master can let Senior Brother manage the Louguantai Taoist Temple for thirty years, it must be because of Senior Brother's strengths."

Donglai shook his head and said, "You and I should be like brothers. There's no need for us to talk so roundly between us. Just speak your heart's content."

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Donglai continued: "Are you worried that telling the truth will make me unhappy? Let me tell you my thoughts. The Louguantai Taoist Temple is located near a bustling city, while the Wenshi Taoist Temple is in a sparsely populated primitive forest. The Louguantai Taoist Temple is responsible for spreading Taoist ideas and classic Taoist culture, guiding people to live according to the great Tao, and selecting young people with Taoist wisdom to study Taoist martial arts at the Wenshi Taoist Temple. I receive various people in secular society every day. It's not that I love gold, but that people in society love gold. Only by catering to people's ideas, building Taoist temples with grandeur and dignity, and packaging the immortal statues in Taoist temples with gold foil, can I attract more people to come and accept Taoist ideas."

After a moment of silence, Li Changsheng understood. Laozi said in the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching that the current world is composed of invisible matter and visible matter. To study invisible substances, one needs to close their eyes and enter a state of meditation. Taoist Kung Fu is the best way to study invisible substances. To study the visible material world, one needs to open their eyes, observe and contemplate carefully. The current various sciences in this world are the best way to study visible matter. Laozi also said that visible matter is formed from invisible matter. But the visible material world and the invisible material world are both very profound. They all have tao, which is the truth. Li Changsheng knew that he wanted to explore an invisible world, and his senior brother was actually searching for the Tao in the secular world. It was because Taoist Donglai mastered the best way to survive in this society and country that the Louguantai Taoist Temple was still preserved in the turbulent times. Li Changsheng knew a long time ago about the story of Laozi teaching Yin Xi the Tao Te Ching in detail at the Louguantai Taoist Temple. He was also deeply influenced by the spread of Taoist culture and was able to easily accept the guidance of his senior sister Yin Lingzhi. Any dilapidated Taoist temple or Buddhist temple overgrown with weeds will not have believers. How can Laozi's ideas be spread without a large number of believers?

Li Changsheng bowed deeply to Taoist Dong lai and said, "You are also studying Taoism, and your Taoism is very brilliant!"
