Chapter 89: Buddha in prosperous times, Tao in troubled times (Part 1)
The whole body is hot and the virtual fire is strong. Looking at the slender waist and perky little buttocks of the maid, I feel ready to move...
Fang Jun felt something was wrong with him.
I wanted to send someone to ask an imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, but suddenly I felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was an indecent thing to do. After sitting for a while, the symptoms did not improve at all, so I got up and took a few Buqu family members with me, and rode back.
Arrive at Zhongnan Mountain and go straight to Sun Simiao's Yaohu.
When he arrived at the door, he remembered that Yuan Tiangang's awesome nose might still be here...
If you think about it carefully, hiding all the time is not an option.
Fang Jun is a living person. Could it be that he has to hide his name and escape overseas to avoid Yuan Tiangang? As long as he is still in the Tang Dynasty, relying on Yuan Tiangang's energy, he can always be found.
Avoiding is not the answer, you can only face it bravely and be tough!
What about Yuan Tiangang?
Even if you don’t believe your nonsense, some people will believe it!
He stepped forward and knocked on the mountain door. After a moment, there was the sound of footsteps inside the door, and the two door panels opened from the inside, revealing a little head with a Taoist bun, which was the same little Taoist priest from last time.
The young Taoist priest with delicate features was stunned for a moment when he saw it was Fang Jun, and asked: "Fang's consort is here to see our master?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Otherwise, I can't find you? Why, your master is not here?"
The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said: "Master is of course here, but Master Yuan is also here. He was just having a conversation with my master and there was some quarrel, so... that..."
Fang Jun understood that it was probably Yuan Tiangang's bull nose who was making trouble against him again and quarreled with Sun Simiao.
This little Taoist priest is a genius...
"It doesn't matter. I have something important to discuss with my master. You can introduce me to him."
"oh……"
The little Taoist priest had no choice but to open the mountain door and invite Fang Jun in. Then he turned around and closed the door, leading the way to the open-air bronze furnace in the courtyard. The little Taoist priest looked at the side room on one side and said: "Fang Jun is still here."
Please go sit in the main hall first, and I will go and inform you, Master."
Fang Jun laughed. Was he afraid that he would quarrel with Yuan Tiangang again?
However, he was indeed a little frightened by the "half-immortal" and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, little Taoist Master."
"Hee hee, please come here, my consort!"
He had probably regarded the profession of Taoist priest as a lofty ideal for a long time, and seeing that he was young and handsome, others rarely regarded him as a Taoist priest. Therefore, Fang Jun's words of "little Taoist priest" made him beam with joy.
Fang Jun shook his head and laughed. He was still a child after all...
The Taoist temple is not big, but the statue of the Taoist Lord Sanqing is enshrined in the main hall.
The so-called "Three Pure Ones" are collectively referred to as "the three pure realms of nothingness, nature, the three pure realms, the three treasures of heaven". The three pure realms of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing respected by Taoism also refer to the three gods who live in the three pure realms, namely: Jade
The supreme enlightened leader of the Qingsheng Realm is Pangu Yuanshi Tianzun, the Supreme Qingzhen Realm Yuchen Daojun Lingbao Tianzun, and the leader of the Hunyuan Sect of Ten Thousand Sects is the Taishang Laojun Daode Tianzun.
These are the three supreme gods of Taoism.
"Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiqing. It means two are born, two begets three, and three begets all things. Sanqing represents the law of generation of the great road. One Qi turns into three, and three merge into one. When used, it is divided into three, and the original principle is always one.
.The Tao transforms into the Three Pure Ones, and the three Pure Pure Ones merge into the Tao. The Great Tao is the root of creation, the Great Tao is the foundation of education, and the Great Tao is the master of all things. After all things are transformed, the Great Tao becomes the true master of all things in the three realms and ten directions, maintaining the order of time and space.
According to the principles of the universe and the universe, the Great Dao is the master of all things. The Great Dao is invisible and gives birth to the heaven and the earth. The Great Dao is ruthless and moves the sun and the moon. Therefore, the Great Dao is honored as: God."
The word "God" actually appears here. Isn't it amazing?
Yes, since ancient times, "God" has been a proper noun of Taoism, and has nothing to do with the one in the West. "The so-called Haotian God is called Haotian when he has vast vitality, and he is called Cangtian when he sees the sky from afar. He is respected by people.
There is nothing better than the Emperor, who is entrusted to heaven, so he is called God."
The earliest mention of the word God in the classics is "Yu Shu Shun Dian" in "Shangshu".
The first person to translate the Western supreme god as "God" was Matteo Ricci. This Italian who brought modern geometry to the East, after an in-depth study of Eastern culture, believed that the concept contained in the word "God"
He could perfectly interpret the meaning of the Latin word "Deus (God)", so he adopted it for his own use.
Poor Chinese descendants, how many of them, when they hear "God", only know that he is the god of the West, but do not know that he is originally the supreme god in Eastern culture?
How sad!
Our Chinese culture has been occupied by doves and magpie nests for many...
…
On both sides of the main hall, there are two elegant rooms, one is equipped with incense tables and talismans, and the other is used as an "alchemy room" for cultivating Taoism.
The little Taoist priest led Fang Jun inside, and then pushed him out to inform Sun Simiao. Fang Jun found a futon by the window and sat down.
This "alchemy room" is probably the place where Sun Simiao practiced Taoism. The interior is simple and transparent, with low window sills and high windows. The trees swaying in the wind and the rolling ridges outside can be seen. The burning sandalwood in the main hall
The fragrance is floating in the air, the birds are chirping outside the window, the wind is blowing on the leaves, and there is nothing between heaven and earth. If you meditate in such an environment, you can indeed easily reach the state of returning to nature and being pure and free of desires.
People who have lived in the mortal world for a long time can sit here and drink a cup of fragrant tea, which will wash away all the filth in their bodies and purify their minds.
Fang Jun saw a low table under the window sill, with a set of ceramic tea sets on it, and a small stove and flint fire sickle next to it. He immediately stood up, rummaged through and found a can of tea, took out the stove and carried it
A wooden bucket left the alchemy room, walked a few steps to find a small stream, filled a bucket with clear stream water, and searched for some dry branches nearby.
Back to the alchemy room, I lit a fire and boiled water, cleaned the gap, and made a pot of tea.
There was a slight mountain breeze outside the window, the shadows of the trees were dancing, the air in the house was clear, and the fragrance of tea was thick. Fang Jun knelt down in front of the window, picked up the black pottery teacup and took a sip of the hot tea, savored it carefully, and slowly poured it into his throat.
It feels like there is fluid in the bottom of the tongue, fragrance lingers in the teeth and cheeks, and the heat all over the body is relieved a lot in an instant.
"He's someone who enjoys it!"
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and a mocking voice came.
Fang Jun sighed slightly, put down his tea cup, stood up, bowed his hands to the ground, and said, "I have seen Taoist Yuan."
I had already run away, why did this old Niubi catch up with me?
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard with one hand and clasped the other behind his back, snorted and said: "No gift, no gift, no courtesy on the surface, but a curse in the heart, even an old Taoist can't bear it!"
The words were hard to hear, but he walked a few feet away from the window, reached for a tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, squinted his eyes to taste it, and nodded in praise: "Not bad.
Yes, this tea-making skill is much better than that of Sun Simiao!"
Fang Jun had a black line on his head: "..."
You yourself are a Taoist priest, but you call Sun Simiao a bullshit?
Doesn't this mean pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey...
Well, anyone who achieves something has a special temper and a very different personality. He has met this world-famous "Yuan Banxian'er", and he will be an old joke in future generations.
Since people don't pay attention to these false etiquettes, Fang Jun doesn't have the habit of nodding and bowing, so he straightened up and stood opposite Yuan Tiangang, picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Yuan Tiangang, and said with a smile: "Sit down and drink the cool water, watching the simmering dust.
Wuyou holds a bowl and sends it to tea lovers.
"
Yuan Tiangang took the tea cup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, tasted it carefully, and then praised: "The tea is fragrant and poetic, and the poetry is simple. What Fang Erlang is holding is a wonderful person! No wonder a stubborn person like Sun Simiao can become like you."
Best friend ever since, interesting, interesting.”
Smiling and sipping tea.
Fang Jun said: "How dare you be praised by our ancestors? You are a living god. In your life, you have traveled all over the land of China, and you have been able to guide the world and point out the stars. You have seen and heard countless things. I, a mere ordinary person of this generation, would not dare to enter your realm."
Dharma Eye."
Yuan Tiangang glared: "Hey! What a grudge-holding boy, why are you complaining about the old man?"
Fang Jun's face was serious: "I don't dare."
Isn't it just a matter of grudge? Mother, if you dare to hold on to the "different appearance" again and again, believe it or not, I will put you in a sack and beat you as a sap?
Unexpectedly, today Yuan Tiangang did not get angry because of Fang Jun's disrespect. Instead, he sighed and said: "My disciple Chunfeng came here a few days ago and talked with the old Taoist about the current situation of Taoism. His words sounded absurd.
, but after careful consideration, I feel that it makes sense. Buddhism is now very powerful, and although Taoism has received your majesty’s permission to become the state religion, it actually seems powerless in the face of the aggressiveness of Buddhism. I dare to ask Erlang, what good strategy can I use?
