Chapter 47 Nine wonders and various dharma practices
"Nine wonders give birth to all kinds of dharma and act on it?"
In the courtyard, next to the big-headed pear tree, the two of them were sitting on a stone pillar, looking at each other.
The cool well water was mixed into a small pottery bowl. There were few philanthropic pilgrims at Yunhe Temple, and they were not seen for more than a month, so no tea or fruit was prepared.
In the end, Chen Yu had no choice but to go to the vegetable garden and pick a handful of ripe red orchid fruits, wash them and put them between them as a treat.
Fortunately, Jiang Qin'an was only stunned for a moment, then he pinched one and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and sour juice overflows, dispelling the slight thirst you feel during the climb.
Taoist Jiang raised his hands and praised:
"Taoist Chen is so elegant. He spends time in the garden surrounded by green pines, drinking from clear springs and eating mountain fruits. He is so natural and at ease. A poor Taoist is so envious!"
"Where is this? Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary."
Chen Yu smiled and said nothing. He couldn't point to the old pottery bowl on the table and say that it was not a clear spring but the overnight well water that was salvaged last night.
Furthermore, the other party did not really drink from the mountain spring, and obviously knew what he was drinking.
The two of you flattered each other and I responded with compliments, and they soon came to the main topic in a happy atmosphere.
It turned out that the man in front of him, Jiang Qin'an, who claimed to be a disciple of Haiyunguan, was ordered by his master to visit various places and send invitations.
As for the content of the post, it is about a grand Taoist ceremony.
"Please forgive me, fellow Taoist, for the short time that I took over Yunhe. He has been confined in the mountains and has rarely traveled. May I ask what this Jiuqi Guangsheng's Dharma practice is?"
This can't be blamed on him. Chen Yu really didn't know and there was no relevant information in his predecessor's memory. Only later did he find out through Jiang Qin'an that the Jiuqi Guangsheng Dharma Practice had just started this year.
The main reason is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that chaos is coming, the Yuan, Liang and Song Dynasties have only lasted twenty years, and it is time to change the flag again.
Of course, the Taoist sect does not interfere with these, at least openly. They seek the Tao and cultivate their minds, and pay attention to obeying the heavens.
Except Taiping Road.
Taiping, Qingwei, Qianyang, Zhenyi, and the four major sects all have the theory of living in the world, but among them, Taiping Dao is the only one that has always preached that "punishing oneself is not as good as punishing others, and the body and mind are not as good as changing one's fate". What they seek is to change the world.
Fate, Yi Xian changes, what he wants is to stir up the wind and clouds and change the world.
In their own words, this is called sacrificing one life and creating peace for all eternity!
The idea is a good one, and many people in the Taoist sect secretly express their support. Otherwise, it would not be possible for it to become one of the prominent Taoist traditions in just a few decades, like a spark of fire igniting a prairie fire.
But support is support, that is the business of the big guys. People like Haiyunguan are so restricted to a county. They just want to pass on the incense and don't let the gate fall down accidentally.
As for who will be the emperor...the Taoists don't care.
Therefore, in order to avoid the disaster of annihilation in the future turmoil, some small sects and small groups began to unite.
This is why Jiuqi Guangsheng and various dharma practices were born.
But in the open, this Dharma conference has another purpose.
"We rarely discuss Taoism, and most of us work on it behind closed doors. How can we make progress in Taoism like this? Therefore, this Dharma conference is mainly for many Taoist friends to have a suitable place to sit together and discuss Taoism.
By the way, we will deepen the connection and make our own contribution to the peace of Guangyong."
In front of the stone table, Chen Yu quietly watched the Taoist in front of him talk, and finally nodded in agreement, saying that he was perfectly fine with the other party's invitation.
After accepting the post, Jiang Qin'an couldn't resist Jiang Qin'an's enthusiasm, so the two of them had a small discussion about Taoism. It was said to be a discussion about Taoism, but in reality, it was Chen Yu narrating some words from Taoist scriptures that he had read in his previous life. Some of them had different layers of skin, but generally
All pretty much the same.
Commonly known as chicken soup.
But the other party did this. He drank the chicken soup and his face turned red. He even danced for a while and exclaimed that he had realized something. Judging by his appearance, if he hadn't sent him away in time, there would have been a scene of bowing down.
When the Taoist's back gradually faded away, Chen Yu turned around and returned.
The Taoism of the past life has a long history, and many of them contain strong philosophies, which are worth savoring. Even those bastards who are ignorant and unskilled can't help but exclaim in surprise when they hear it.
But after all, he didn't think there was anything good about memorizing things by rote as a copycat to fool people.
In the final analysis, Chen Yu is just a half-full fake Taoist priest. If he really takes it out, he doesn't have much in common.
And he doesn't like this either.
After a few months, life in the mountains was relaxing and there was nothing wrong with it.
As for this greeting note... Chen Yu put it away. Jiang Qin'an said that he was a true cultivator, but his family knew about his family affairs. This time he went down the mountain to listen to the sermons of serious true cultivators.
"It just so happens that I was thinking of getting some scriptures and martial arts about the internal organs to have a look at them. This time is a good opportunity."
Taoism has always been at the forefront of research on the human body, especially in this ignorant era.
Because only those who are dedicated to spiritual practice will spend all day doing nothing but messing around with their own minds and bodies.
"I'll buy some more ginseng by the way."
After thinking about it, Chen Yu took the greeting card and cleared away the pottery bowl and orchid fruit on the table.
Then he moved to the backyard and continued his experiment on the effectiveness of orchid fruit and green vegetable sprouts after being catalyzed by the spiritual machine.
…
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Qinan strode like stars.
After descending the mountain road, he whipped his horse and hurriedly headed towards the next viewing point.
Although this Dharma gathering is only a small ceremony and cannot compare with the scale of the Luotian Dajiao and the Zhoutian Dajiao, and even far inferior to the Dajiao extended and built by Zhengyang Temple more than ten years ago, Haiyun Temple still attaches great importance to it.
.
Have to pay attention to it.
Since this is done in the name of all dharma, there will definitely be many Taoist sects gathering at that time, including some heroes and Sanren who come here in admiration. It is expected that with the prevailing atmosphere of Taoism today, there will definitely be no shortage of such people.
As one of the initiators and conveners, one can imagine the pressure on Haiyun Guan.
What's more, this is not just one county or one city, but a grand event covering the entire Guangyong Prefecture!
For Haiyun Temple, it is an opportunity.
Whoever can excel in this Dharma gathering will surely gain a greater voice in the alliance of various factions in the future.
In fact, if Haiyun Temple had not had some foundation in Shiya County, I am afraid it would not have been their turn to host the gathering in one area.
If he can really succeed in building it, Taoist Jiang, who is a disciple of Haiyunguan, will be equally honored.
This is why he is willing to travel abroad.
"I don't know how long this world can last..."
As I gallop forward, I see colorful things along the way, but most of them are miserable and miserable in the world.
The areas to the west and south of Shiya are relatively good. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. The forests are deep and closed, and the roads are remote and difficult to travel.
The people who make a living here can at least eat enough from the mountains and water to fill their bellies.
However, when we went to the north of the county and crossed the rugged mountains, what we saw and heard was completely different.
Like Taoist Li, Taoist Chiang has also traveled through rivers and lakes, but he has not been as vast as the former, only in the seven southwest states. Only a few years ago, he went out to the dangerous shoals of the river and returned to the Central Plains, which is considered prosperous and prosperous by ordinary people.
Thinking about what he saw and felt at that time, he seemed to feel nostalgic, and then he felt a little more melancholy.
The bones of the world are buried, and the rich families eat the five tripods.
As a result, I feel more and more how difficult and dangerous this world is.
The scorching sun hanging high in the distant sky slowly sets, and the red glow casts its lingering light, rendering the mountains as scarlet as blood.
Taoist Jiang glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and hurried on his way.
