Chapter 85: Master of Donglai Taoist Priest

The Grey Robed Taoist said slowly: "Donglai, last time I went to Guangzhou with your junior sister Yin Lingzhi to investigate the young apprentice she strongly recommended. As soon as we arrived at the Huang Daxian Temple, I received news from your carrier pigeon. You said that the clue to the second volume of the Tao Te Ching appeared in Longmen Cave, Longxian County. So without any delay, I immediately rushed from Guangzhou to Longxian County, Gansu Province. Based on the clues found there, I traced it back to Xinjiang. Although this process was very troublesome and difficult, fortunately I finally saw the wooden box containing that book. It's just that the book in the box has disappeared."

The chubby East Taoist sat respectfully on the futon, with no longer a hint of a slick and philistine smile on his face. At this moment, he saw the Grey Robed Old Taoist pause in his speech. He immediately stood up, faster than the young man. He quickly added water to the old Taoist's cup and said, "Master, drink some water before we talk." Then he sat down and looked at the old Taoist with a look of admiration.

The Grey Robed Old Taoist is the Wuwei Taoist of the Wenshi Taoist Temple. He glanced at Donglai Taoist and sighed, "You! Ah!" His voice contained a sense of helplessness.

Dong Lai, the Taoist Priest, was rarely ashamed. His face turned red and he lowered his head, saying, "I have let you down. I feel very ashamed, I really have no future！"

Taoist Wuwei said in disappointment: "Thirty years ago, your Taoist martial arts had already reached the middle stage of foundation building. After these thirty years, why is it still the middle stage of foundation building? You are my first apprentice, and Yin Lingzhi is my second apprentice. Yin Lingzhi is more than forty years younger than you, and now her Taoist martial arts have entered the early stage of Pigu. In fact, Li Changsheng, I haven't taught him a day. He only read the first volume of the Tao Te Ching in Wenshi Taoist Temple himself, and he only used it for a year In half an hour, he arrived at the late stage of foundation construction, and his Taoist martial arts were about to enter the stage of transforming qi."

Looking at Donglai Daochang's graying hair, Wuwei Daochang couldn't bear it, His attitude softened and he said: "The martial arts inherited from Laozi in our Wenshi Temple are divided into nine stages, namely: foundation building, qi transformation, valley breaking, golden elixir, elemental baby, hole deficiency, emptiness and darkness, crossing calamity, and great achievement. Your body has sufficient energy now, so you are currently very strong. Can you be lazy? Do you know that before you reach the elemental baby stage of Kung Fu, you, like an ordinary person, will also age and die of illness? Didn't you realize that your face Is there no difference in the face between an ordinary seventy year old person? Laozi said: To complete a thousand miles, one needs to start accumulating from every step now. Without diligent cultivation and accumulation, your Taoist martial arts have never made any progress."

Donglai Taoist's head was getting lower and lower, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He felt ashamed and said, "My mind is very slow, and I don't understand the martial arts you taught me well enough. I have been meditating day and night for these years, but I haven't made any progress. I think this is because I don't have the talent to learn Taoist martial arts well. I have failed your expectations, and I am very ashamed."
