The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 4 Sensation
In the study at the foot of the green mountains.

Li Qingchen looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

With a mortal body, one can understand the Tao pattern at a glance, and there is no need to comprehend it too much, it is just like reading ordinary fonts.

A genius in literature and art?

Born to be a great scholar?

Tao patterns are not just simple words, they contain Tao and principles.

If one could understand the articles written in Dao Wen, then his understanding of Confucianism and Taoism would improve by leaps and bounds. This is why he cares so much about it.

Li Qingchen has been active in the literary world all his life and has met countless geniuses, but this is the first time he has seen a situation like this. He was stunned for a moment.

Su Changqing looked at her husband who was staring at her, and her heart was beating fast.

"So serious? Did I say something wrong?"

The atmosphere in the house was a little weird for a moment. Neither of them spoke, and they were both thinking about something secretly.

After a while, Li Qingchen slowly spoke, but this time his tone was much gentler.

"I saw it at first sight, why did you wait two more hours?"

Just now, Li Qingchen was just thinking about completing the transaction simply, but now he was attracted by the talent.

However, when he accepted a disciple, he not only looked at his aptitude, but also his character. If Su Changqing had a decent character, he wouldn't mind accepting him as a fourth disciple.

"Sir, this simple word contains profound meaning. I have just figured it out." Su Changqing said.

Li Qingchen burst out laughing. This matter was actually his fault.

His original intention was to pass the test if he could just recognize the characters, but since other people could see through it at a glance, he was unable to speak.

After all, it is the gentleman's consideration, how can it be a simple "one"?

Dao patterns are difficult for others to understand, but Su Changqing can understand them at a glance, so it’s no wonder that the other party would think too much.

But thinking of this, Li Qingchen looked at Su Changqing with interest and said:

"You can see the deep meaning of a simple word 'one'?"

"Why don't you tell me what meanings are contained in this word 'one'?"

Li Qingchen smiled, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Su Changqing with some joking.

He wanted to hear what profound truths this genius of literature could convey from these simple words.

"The great road is simple, and the evolution is complex."

Su Changqing's first sentence made Li Qingchen's face change instantly.

“Although ‘one’ is simple, it can be seen as the beginning of all things.”

"The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things, endlessly."

"When the teacher first met me, he gave me the word 'one'. I think he wanted to tell me that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, starting from 'one'."

boom!
At this moment, Li Qingchen was so shocked that he could no longer hear what Su Changqing said next.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, and there is no end!"

Just a few words, but they resounded through my heart like a huge bell, causing huge waves.

He is the leader of contemporary Confucianism and Taoism, but precisely because of this, he understands the terrifying weight of these words.

Each word contains profound principles and mystical truths. These few simple words cover the entire universe and tell the beginning and end of all living things.

And these few simple words not only made Li Qingchen's heart tremble.

Zhongzhou, Holy College.

As an academy founded by Emperor Wen, this is a place that all scholars in the world yearn for.

In order to not bury the literary talent of poor students, Emperor Wen erected the sculpture.

Whenever a wise saying that shocks the world comes out, it will shine the light of Confucianism and Taoism, guide the students and make it known to the world.

Two days ago, a literary boy composed a four-character quatrain, which made Emperor Wen sculpt a hundred-foot-long glow of light and brought down a great and righteous spirit, allowing the literary boy to build a foundation in one day.

Everyone talked about this incident with great relish, and even after two days had passed, it was still being sung in the streets and alleys.

But suddenly, the statue of Emperor Wen standing in the center of the Holy Academy shook violently.

boom!
The brilliant rays of light illuminated the entire city, and the grand and righteous spirit filled the entire sky.

【Great Truth】

Four glittering Taoist patterns appeared in the sky and did not disappear for a long time.

Everyone in the city, whether they were street vendors or well-known scholars, stared blankly at the sky, and the whole city was quiet for a moment. But the next moment, a boiling noise resounded through the sky.

"Emperor Wen has shown his divine power! Emperor Wen has shown his divine power! The sky is shining brightly. What a great gift God has given us!"

"What a profound truth! To give such a high evaluation, what a shocking article this is!"

"The day before yesterday, it was said that Emperor Wen's radiance of a hundred feet long had not been seen for ten years. I never thought that there would be someone who could make Emperor Wen's sculpture radiant with a radiance of ten thousand feet long. This... This has not happened for ten thousand years!"

"Is Baizhang Fluorescent Light qualified to challenge Wanzhang Wendao Caixia? These are two completely different concepts, okay?"

"No matter who he is, we must find him and call the Confucian Immortal. Yes! Call the Confucian Immortal quickly and bring this person back."

The great scholars of the Holy Academy were all anxious.

As a holy place of literature and Taoism, their thirst for knowledge is much greater than that of ordinary people.

These four simple words, "the great truth," made them feel restless, as if a cat's claws were scratching their hearts.

They wanted to see what kind of words were worthy of such an evaluation from Emperor Shangwen.

Zhongzhou was in a turmoil, but few people knew that the same thing was happening in another place.

Eastern Region, the holy land of Taoism, Xuanqing Sect.

There are many Taoist sects in the world, but the Xuanqing Sect is the most dominant one because the previous Taoist Emperor was from the Xuanqing Sect.

Recently, the younger generation of many Taoist sects gathered together to discuss Taoism.

In front of the Taoist temple, the Taoists were in high spirits, some with lotus flowers blooming from their mouths, some showing their supernatural powers, creating a lively scene.

But only the people of Shenxiao Sect looked depressed.

"Alas, if I, Zong Daozi, had not died, I would have shined brightly on this day of discussing the Dao."

The leader of the Shenxiao sect sighed softly, his face gloomy.

"Brother, don't worry. This is a calamity that Daozi has to endure. It is destiny."

"The most important thing right now is to establish a new Daozi. Our sect's younger generation cannot be without a leader."

An old man in Taoist robes comforted him.

"It's difficult to establish a new Taoist priest." The sect leader sighed when he heard this.

The Taoist sect is different from other sects. The establishment of Taoist disciples pays attention to fate and also depends on the understanding of Taoism.

A Taoist may not have a high level of cultivation, but his understanding of Taoism must be far superior to others.

It’s not easy to choose such a person.

"The other disciples in the sect don't have this ability. I'll go down the mountain in a few days to see if there are any suitable candidates."

The clan leader had just finished speaking, and before the old man next to him could reply, the heaven and earth here suddenly shook.

Ten thousand miles of purple air rose from the east, and a vast and mysterious Taoist sound rang out between heaven and earth.

Pearl curtains stretched across the sky, necklaces covered the ground, and green lotuses blossomed from the void.

Such an auspicious sight made all the Taoist masters present stunned, and then they showed horror.

Not only that, but the portrait of the Taoist priest that had been hanging at the back of Xuanqing Sect for who knows how long was actually glowing.

Everyone was stunned; they had never seen anything like this before.

But only a group of Taoist masters showed excitement on their faces.

"The portrait of the ancestor has appeared. This is a cultivator who has attracted the attention of the Taoist ancestor!"

"Find him! We must find him! Whether our Taoism can flourish in this generation depends on this person!"

Upon hearing this, before others could react, the leader of the Shenxiao Sect had already stood up.

His fingertips kept making seals, so fast that afterimages almost appeared.

"Can't figure it out? Obscured by the boundary?"

The leader of the Shenxiao Sect had a ferocious look on his face and spat out a mouthful of blood. As the Dao Seal filled the air, it seemed as if a vast landscape of rivers and mountains appeared.

"In the South Region!"

There was excitement in his eyes, and he was about to calculate more carefully, but when a green mountain emerged, his expression suddenly changed.

"Humph!"

Two cold snorts exploded in his sea of ​​consciousness like the roar of a god. The horrifying aura made him spit out blood with a look of horror on his face.
