Chapter 37 Under the plum blossom tree, I saw a young man discussing Taoism with an old man
On the avenue, a carriage slowly stopped.
When other pedestrians on the surrounding roads saw the sign on the carriage, they all retreated away.
Even if there were other people driving a luxurious carriage, decorated with silk and satin, with a very arrogant driver waving his whip, when they saw this carriage, they all changed their colors, and then hurriedly backed away, letting
This simple carriage moved forward. The driver driving the carriage sat upright and thanked him politely.
The others quickly returned the gift.
Seeing that the carriage was gone, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Nothing else.
Just because the horse beast pulling this cart is not ordinary.
This is the direct lineage of the Cui family from Qinghe County.
In front of this road, there is a mountain range surrounded by clouds. When the carriage stopped, there was already a white-haired Taoist waiting in front of the mountain. He smiled and said with a cupped hand: "Is she the young lady of the Cui family in Qinghe? Pindao.
It’s been a long time coming.”
A clear voice from the carriage replied: "The Taoist priest is waiting here."
"This junior feels really guilty."
Immediately, a person stepped out of the carriage. She was a girl about fourteen years old. She was born with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows and eyes like autumn water. Her facial features were extremely beautiful, and her temperament was extremely heroic. However, the straight sword-shaped eyebrows were too straight, and there was a little red mark between the eyebrows.
, with hanging hair on the temples, holding a long sword, looking forward to the glory, adding a bit of evil spirit.
It’s like the Sword Immortal was banished to the mortal world.
In addition, two more people got off the carriage. One was a young girl in red clothes with an eccentric appearance, and the other was an elegant young man.
The girl with the red mark on her eyebrows held up the greeting card and bowed, and said loudly:
"Cui Yuanzhen of the Cui family comes here to pay homage to the mountain."
The old Taoist priest smiled and bowed.
Seeing that the girl is clearly fourteen years old, but her vitality, essence, and spirit have been well nourished. However, it is a pity that she is born with evil energy. I am afraid that although she is a cultivator, she will have to go through many disasters even though she is talented. She should restrain her mind and stroke her beard.
Smiled:
"I have long heard that the Cui family's youngest daughter is as talented as a banished immortal. When I saw her today, it turned out to be true."
"The Taoist priest has too much reputation."
The girl gave a curt salute, then turned around and pointed at the young man, saying: "This is my clan brother."
"This is Mr. Su Shengyuan Su's daughter, Su Yuer, who is accompanying me up the mountain today."
The old Taoist smiled and said: "The children of the Cui family are indeed very talented."
"I have also heard of Mr. Su Xiaoxiangong. He is a wise man."
"You two are also invited."
Su Yuer'er was surprised and said: "Do you recognize my father?"
The old Taoist laughed dumbly.
He replied: "Your father also asked me the same question when he was your age."
Immediately ignoring Su Yue'er's astonishment, she turned sideways and calmly rolled her sleeves.
The clouds rolled and relaxed behind me, and the scene I had originally seen suddenly had ripples, like a big curtain, suddenly opened——
The mountains are towering and cranes are flying.
There is a majestic atmosphere unfolding before our eyes.
"You three, please."
Cui Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, he looked up and saw the towering mountain gate, with a couplet, a sword in one hand, and said to himself.
"The Tao runs through yin and yang, and the three realms channel the spirit of Ksitigarbha."
"The clouds cross Taidai, and thousands of mountains bow to the gods."
"What a spirit!"
The old Taoist laughed, swept his sleeves and robes, and the clouds steamed up. The clouds rose under their feet and lifted the three of them up.
So calmly, riding the clouds, straight into the mountains.
The leader of Taoism in the world is called the sect.
Clouds and clouds are flowing here, filling the peaks. There are spiritual treasures and jade mushrooms growing everywhere; exotic animals and rare birds are walking beside; there are cranes fluttering their wings in the sky; there are deer chasing after the grass on the ground; ordinary people forget their worries.
In fact, it is the first of the caves and blessed places in the world. It nurtures all living beings and observes the Taoism in detail.
If ordinary people have no chance, it is difficult to step into this Taoist sect. Even ordinary disciples have to practice under the mountain gate. Only by cultivating the innate energy can they enter the mountain gate; when they reach the level of a living real person, they can receive the use of a mountain peak.
He has the right to establish a sect and recruit many disciples to pass on the dharma lineage he created.
While riding on the clouds and mist, the old Taoist introduced the mountain gate to the three of them.
Su Yuer'er's eyes sparkled when she saw it, and she said, "Old god, are you a real person?"
The old Taoist was dumbfounded and said with a smile: "I'm not a real person, you can just call me Old Taoist Master."
Su Yuer'er nodded. She looked around and saw all kinds of beautiful scenery. She felt in her heart that it would be great to leave that small town and come outside during the Chinese New Year this year. Otherwise, how could she see it?
How about seeing such scenery? Not to mention meeting people like Cui Yuanzhen.
The youngest daughter of the Cui family of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects also invited them to participate in the Taoist trial.
It seems to be an illusion, called [Refining the Heart], seeing wine, sex and wealth.
It's just a pity that Su Yuer'er failed to see the wealth.
As for the young man who was in high spirits and went to pick them up in the town, he was already defeated even though he was drinking.
Wine is not simply drinking, but a luxurious enjoyment.
Wealth is not just gold and silver, but a lot of prosperity.
As for Miss Cui, who was born as beautiful as a fairy, she was calm and unhurried. She experienced wine, sex, wealth, and Taoism without changing her Taoism.
The chief was extremely happy and said, "I am a man of my generation, and I immediately put it into the door wall, so I can come here to worship the mountain."
The two of them were not qualified to enter the mountain gate, but they could only come here to give Cui Yuanzhen a favor. They immediately felt regretful and said:
"It's a pity, it's a pity...it's just too difficult."
The old Taoist stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's just a simple exercise of the mind."
"If you can't see through the illusion, what if someone actually gives you a thousand taels of gold and dozens of rides in reality? Or maybe introduces you to some excellent causes and conditions, promising you a perfect life; or even more,
I promised you a lifespan of thousands of years, how could you let it go?"
"But I can't see through these and can't let go."
"One day, your life span will be over. There are other methods that can harm the common people to extend your life span."
"You will definitely not be able to let go."
"If this is the case, the righteous Dharma cannot be preached and the righteous path cannot be preached."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Su Yuer'er said: "Can anyone really let go of this?"
The old Taoist smiled and replied: "Maybe?"
Su Yuer thought for a while and asked curiously: "Then what is the biggest heart-training thing?"
The old man thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"I have never heard that the biggest is the most difficult, but there is a method mentioned in Tao Zang."
"It seems to take people through a lifetime."
"There are many people who have fallen into it and can no longer extricate themselves."
Su Yuer said:
"That's too difficult."
When I think about myself, I have not been able to survive even a fantasy dream. When I think about that long life of dreams, I feel scared and fearful in my heart.
Subconsciously, I shrank my neck back.
The old Taoist took them to one of the peaks in the clouds and fog. They saw majestic mountains and rivers, and the scenery was very beautiful. Cui Yuanzhen was looking at the scenery, and suddenly he raised his eyes and saw the highest peak in the middle in the distance, and asked curiously
: "Senior, why does it seem like there is no Dharma on this mountain peak?"
The old Taoist raised his eyes, stroked his beard and sighed: "That's Tianzhu Peak."
"There are seventy-two peaks in our sect, and the top of the seventy-two peaks is the Dingding Tianzhu Peak. It can be seen for three days. It can look around thousands of miles and see the rise and fall of the sun and the moon. It has been taught for thousands of years. This Tianzhu Peak is indeed
There is no Dharma lineage. I heard that there is nothing up there, just an ordinary Taoist temple."
There are neither spiritual beasts nor disciples.
There is only one Taoist sitting cross-legged among them.
Even if he is the leader of each sect, there is no chance for a living person to step foot on this mountain gate.
On weekdays, people come and go to practice. Some of them have never heard of this Taoist's name when they went up the mountain, and they have never seen his face until they died, as if there was no such person in Tianzhu Peak.
"Who is that person?"
"Hahaha, good question, I want to know it too, old Taoist priest."
"Maybe he's an immortal, right?"
The old man sighed and said with emotion: "I came to the mountain at your age, and it has been two hundred years now."
"That mountain is still like this."
"Perhaps when my life is over, this mountain will still be like that."
"Come, come, come, don't mention this matter, I will take you to see the first real person in this lineage."
The old Taoist led them to visit the real person. The real person had an ethereal temperament, was dignified and calm. Cui Yuanzhen looked solemn. When he was about to pay his respects, he saw the real person's expression stagnant. He raised his eyes slightly. In the void, clouds were floating, vaguely visible.
Hearing the crisp sound of the jade chime, the real man's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly said: "You three are just waiting. I have something to do, so go ahead!"
Before the words were spoken, the real person turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Everyone was shocked. They raised their eyes and looked outside. They saw the yellow auspicious clouds were vast and thick, and streams of light flew away. They were either riding on the clouds and mist, or riding on the backs of cranes, straight into the highest Tianzhu Peak. It was so dazzling.
It was shocking. The old Taoist seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened and he stepped forward and said: "This, this...could it be..."
Cui Yuanzhen said: "Did that Taoist priest come out of seclusion?"
Su Yuer'er and the boy from the Cui family sighed: "I don't know how important this is."
Many real people gathered in front of the simple Taoist temple on Tianzhu Peak.
The Taoist priest of unknown age has walked out of the Taoist temple.
At this moment, I hold a piece of paper in my hand, with poems written on it in new ink.
He was looking down at himself.
Many real people are extremely respectful.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the Taoist who had been meditating here for a thousand years put down the white paper in his hand and suddenly said:
"I was meditating just now, and it seemed like a dream but not a dream. I seemed to see a picture and woke up."
Many real people are curious.
When meditating on Taoism, you should cut off the four gates and converge the soul.
What kind of weight can this person wake up from while meditating?!
One person took a step forward and asked:
"May I ask senior, what did you see?"
The Taoist put the white paper on the table, pondered for a long time, lowered his eyes and looked at the world, recalling the breath he felt while meditating. He had already controlled this world. The world was so big, but there was someone who could make him not notice it.
, at such a close distance, if the young man had not [deliberately] revealed his breath, he would not have been able to detect it...
I also recall that the young man had a smile in his eyes, the old man was stroking his beard, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. It seemed like an illusion, but when the white paper fell, it was extremely real.
He obviously has such a method, but he still shows his aura.
Too deliberate.
Could it be that you want to remind me not to meditate here? Simply meditating and practicing is meaningless?
The immortal caressed my head and tied my hair to achieve immortality...
Is this poem self-proclaimed?
So I couldn't help but feel ups and downs in my heart. After a long time, with a few complicated emotions, I said lightly:
"Under the plum blossom tree, I saw a young man discussing Taoism with an old man."
