Chapter 434: Lu Dongbin (1)
Feng Taihe has a junior fellow Taoist, Lu Dongbin.
Lu Dongbin is a fairy who combines "Sword Immortal", "Wine Immortal" and "Sex Immortal" in a voluptuous body. He is the one with the most common appearances and deeds among the "Eight Immortals". The legend about him traveling with his sword, helping the weak and helping the poor everywhere to eliminate violence and safeguard the good, and it has spread all over the country.
However, there are very few temples for the Seven Immortals, and only the "Lu Zu Temple" worshipped by Lu Dongbin is spread all over the world.
Lu Yan has a good friend named Gou Yao. Gou Yao died because his parents died and his family was poor and he had no money to study.
Lu Yan knew very well that he was loyal and kind, diligent and studious, so he took him to his home to stay and live for him to study and study.
One day, someone came to Lu Yan's house and said he wanted to book a marriage for Gou Yao.
When Lu Yan heard this, he was afraid that Gou Yao would miss his future because of his greed for bedtime, so he hurriedly refused.
But after Gou Yao found out, he was very happy to marry him. Lu Yan had no choice but to agree, but he put forward a condition: "I will sleep with the bride for three nights in the first three nights of marriage."
Gou Yao was shocked and very angry when he heard this, but he thought that he had been providing accommodation, living, tuition, etc. for so many years.
As the saying goes, "Why don't you bow your head if you rely on others?" He said that the cost of getting married has to be paid, but after thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
On the day of marriage, Lu Yan was very happy, but Gou Yao had no face to see anyone, so he hid aside.
At night, when the guests dispersed, Lu Yan walked into the bridal chamber and saw the bride sitting leaning against the bed.
Lu Yan did not lift the bride's red veil, but sat under the lamp and buried his head in the study, which was the case for three consecutive nights.
On the fourth night, Gou Yao walked into the bridal chamber and saw the bride crying sadly. He lowered his head and complained: "Why did the husband not go to bed for three consecutive nights, just to study at the lights, come at dark and leave at dawn. Do you think I can't do it?"
This question made Gou Yao stunned.
The bride looked up and was shocked. Why did her husband change his own?
After a long time, Gou Yao suddenly realized, stomped his feet, and laughed to the sky: "It turns out that my brother is afraid that I am greedy and forgot to study, so he used this to inspire me!"
A few years later, Gou Yaoguo lived up to his expectations and became a high-ranking official.
A few years later, the Lu Yan family unfortunately suffered a fire and all their wealth turned into ashes.
There was no choice but to ask Gou Yao for help. My brother hadn't seen him for many years, and he was full of joy and sorrow. However, several months passed, Gou Yao only cared about food and accommodation, and did not mention anything about getting shell coins and rebuilding his home.
Lu Yan was very angry and couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "The human relationship is too thin, and the face changes when it is wide. It's all over the world!" So he left without saying goodbye.
When he returned to his hometown, Lu Yan saw that the broken thatched hut he temporarily built in his home was replaced with a new tile house.
He walked into the house and was even more surprised. A coffin was parked in the yard, and his wife was in pain.
Lu Yan wondered and asked, "Who are you crying?"
My wife looked back and was frightened: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Lu Yan was even more surprised. After asking, he found out that shortly after he left home, a group of people came to build a house for him. At noon the day before yesterday, another group of people brought a coffin and said that Lu Yan died of serious illness at Gou Yao's house.
At this time, Lu Yan understood that it was all Gou Yao who was playing tricks, so he picked up a sharp axe and slashed the coffin hard. The coffin was split, but inside it was covered with shell coins, cloth, and tortoise shell letters.
Lu Yan picked up the tortoise shell and wrote: "Gou Yao is not a heartless man. I send Beibi's house to build a house on the road. If you ask my wife to stay in the empty room, I will make your wife cry and cry."
Lu Yan woke up from his dream and smiled bitterly: "Brother, you have helped me so hard!"
This is what the saying often says, "Gou Yao and Lu Dongbin do not know the hearts of good people."
Lu Dongbin, whose name is Yan, is Yan, has a name called Dongbin, and whose name is Chunyangzi, calls himself Huidaoist.
Lu Dongbin was familiar with the classics and history since he was a child. Some people said that he had been an official. Later, because he was tired of the chaos of military and civil war, he abandoned the fame and wealth of the world, and went with his wife to practice at Jiufeng Mountain on Zhongtiao Mountain. He and his wife lived in a cave, and were relatively hopeful, so they changed their name to Lu Dongbin; "Lu" refers to the couple, and their couple is Lu; "Dong" is the cave where they live; "Bin" means that they are guests in the cave.
Before he abandoned his official position, he offered favors and scattered his family property to the poor, doing many good things for the people.
Legend has it that during his cultivation, he met the immortal Han Zhongli Quan and became a disciple.
After successfully cultivating immortality, he went down the mountain to travel around the world to relieve the disease of the people and never gave any rewards.
Lu Dongbin was kind and generous throughout his life, helping the poor and helping the poor, and was deeply admired by the people.
After he ascended, the people of his hometown built the "Lu Gong Temple" for him to commemorate him.
Lu Dongbin was originally an unknown ordinary immortal, but in the long-standing folk circulated, it was like a snowball rolling. The story became more and more abundant, and he became a legendary figure in the form of a pile of arrows.
Legend has it that one year, Han Zhongli came to the town and met Lu Dongbin in the inn.
As soon as he saw Lu Yan, he knew that he could be created, so he wanted to enlighten him.
Once Lu Dongbin was enlightened, he realized his great enlightenment and wished to learn Taoism from Han Zhongli, but Han Zhongli refused: Your immortal bones have not grown up and your ambitions have not been firm. If you want to transcend the world, you must be reborn for a few more lives."
After saying that, he left with a drift, but Lu Dongbin was not discouraged and resigned from his post and lived in seclusion to study Taoism. Han Zhongli decided to try Lu Dongbin ten times.
One day, Lu Dongbin went out and returned home, but saw his whole family suddenly die of illness.
Lu Dongbin had already seen through the world, so he didn't feel sad. He just bought a coffin to collect the body, but his family who died of illness came back to life.
It turned out that this was Han Zhongli's first test for him.
Lu Dongbin accidentally made some things to sell at the market. The price had already been agreed, but the other party accepted the goods but suddenly regretted it and was willing to pay half of the price.
Lu didn't care about it, so he simply ignored the money and gave the things to the other party for free, leaving his face calmly. This was the second test.
In the winter of the year, a beggar came and leaned against the gate to ask for money. Lu Dongbin gave it to him.
Unexpectedly, the beggar was not greedy enough. After asking for this and that, he was slower and started to curse.
Not only did Lu Dongbin not get angry, but he kept bowing and saying good things to accompany him, and the beggar left with a smile. This was the third test.
The fourth time, Lu Dongbin grazed sheep in the mountains, and suddenly a big tiger ran out, chasing the flock of sheep.
When Lu Dongbin saw it, he felt unbearable and hurriedly stood in front of the flock of sheep, willing to feed the tiger himself and save the sheep, but the tiger let him go and left on his own.
The fifth time, Lu Dongbin lived alone in a thatched hut in the mountain. Suddenly, a woman knocked on the door. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old and very beautiful. She claimed that she was going back to her parents' home. She missed the road and wanted to stay for one night. Dongbin let her go into the house to rest.
Unexpectedly, the woman became restless in the middle of the night and hooked up with Dongbin in every way.
Dongbin's heart is as calm as water, and he is not moved by desire at all.
The sixth time, Lu Dongbin went out for a trip to the countryside. When he returned home, he saw that his home was stolen, and his family property was swept away, and the daily life in front of him could not be maintained.
Lu Dongbin was not angry or annoyed, so he took up the medicine hoe and collected medicine to make a living.
Unexpectedly, after a hoe, he dug out dozens of shell coins. He hurriedly covered the soil and took nothing...
The seventh time, on this day, Lu Dongbin went to the street to buy some porcelain pieces. When he took them back, he found that they were jade. He hurriedly found the original store and returned the jade.
A crazy Taoist priest sold medicine in the market and said, "If you take my medicine, you will die immediately, but you will be able to achieve enlightenment in your next life."
