Chapter 158

The mountain keepers of Beiquan Yuan, not specifically who they are, but a group, where the Daomen Zongguan of Beiquanyuan is located, in order to avoid being disturbed by ordinary people, they generally set up mountain guards outside the mountain gate, and the mountain guards are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, and when they meet someone who wants to visit the Zongguan, they will be responsible for secretly observing and evaluating them, if they do not pass the test of the mountain guards or have malicious intentions, the mountain guards will deliberately block, and when necessary, they will not hesitate to stop by force, which can be called the first guard of the Daomen, and the duty is not trivial.

However, because the Taoist sect is relatively concentrated, the number of mountain guards is not much, and there are fewer people, so it is natural to be elite, especially where we are now, Yingtan, Jiangxi, in addition to Qingxuanguan, Taoist ancestral Longhu Mountain is also here, can be selected as the mountain keepers here, and the two of them are by no means so ordinary as they seem on the surface.

Thinking of this, I went to the side and found a clean table and invited the two of them to sit down, Jiao Jiao lit a cigarette, and said casually, "The boss is so polite, is he also going into the mountain?"

I smiled as a courtesy, "The two wise eyes, I am going to go to the Qingxuan Temple here, since I have the fate to meet the two, I want to ask the two to show the way." ”

Jiao Jiao took a few puffs of cigarette, and her eyes gradually became cold, "You want to enter the mountain, so do you know the rules for entering the mountain?"

I glanced at Chen Mo and saw doubts in the other party's eyes, we were not originally from the Daomen, and I, the cheap head, have not officially taken over, where do I know what the rules are, but it has always been my virtue to ask shamelessly, I respectfully asked Jiao Jiao, "I really don't know, please teach me the mountain guard." ”

Jiao Jiao didn't answer, Xiao Jie took the words, "Sect Mountain Gate, after all, it's not a place to play, the Taoist elders cultivate, pay attention to being pure and comfortable, if you just let people in casually and disturb the Taoist cultivators, isn't it a dereliction of duty for us mountain guards? So, if you want to enter the mountain, you have to worship the mountain first." ”

"I don't think you know what is called worshipping the mountain, the so-called worshipping the mountain, in fact, is to greet our mountain guards first, visitors can be roughly divided into three categories, the first category, is to communicate with the door, this kind of just take out their own identity certificates, the second category, is invited by the Taoist door to come, this needs to be verified by us to verify the authenticity of the invitation, the third category, is the ordinary people who come by chance, this kind of in addition to the deep roots of the Tao is expected to apprentice, the others have to be rushed back, a few don't know what kind of belong?"

I see, I relaxed when I heard it, and I replied with a smile, "I'm not one of these three, I'm the current head of Qingxuanguan, and this time I'm going to look back and officially take over the mantle of the head." ”

"Oh," Jiao Jiao was interested, "You are the head of Qingxuanguan, do you have a certificate?"

"This nature ... As I spoke, I reached out and took out the Qingxuan seal in my arms, and half of it was taken out My arm froze, lose it, Qingxuan Yin I left a Rui Yun Jinghong, what do you use to prove your identity now.

Jiao Jiao saw that I couldn't get something for a long time, and thought that I was scolding her, the whole person was on guard, exuding hostility towards me, I was sweating profusely, and suddenly my heart moved, and I took out a quaint token from the bag around my waist, and handed it to Jiao Jiao Jiao and said, "I haven't carried the mark of the head of the house, I don't know if this thing can be replaced?"

Jiao Jiao took the token, looked at it slightly, her face had changed drastically, she hurriedly got up and saluted, and said guiltily, "I don't know if the real person is here, how offended, please forgive the real person!"

I got up and waved my hand, "The boss lady misunderstood, this is not my token, Shi Qi Zhenren was there when he attained the Tao that day, Shi Qi Zhenren in order to thank me for a little help on the way to the Dao, just borrowed this thing from me to use, I don't know with this thing, can we enter the mountain?"

"Naturally," Jiao Jiao said after sitting down with me, "Real tokens, even if they are borrowed, they are not borrowed by ordinary people, since a few of them are friends of Shiqi Zhenren, there will be no problem in entering the mountain, I don't know when they are going to enter the mountain?"

Of course, the sooner the better, but looking at the Lu worm who had fallen asleep, I had no choice but to say to Jiao Jiao helplessly, "Then hurry up early tomorrow, boss, there is still something to trouble you, you see, my brother is unconscious by your drinking, do you think you can help us arrange a place to rest?"

Find a place to stay, this kind of trivial matter will naturally not be difficult to live in the mountain guards, Jiao Jiao and Xiao Jie arranged our accommodation, and invited us to have a meal in the evening, with the experience of Lu Worm, no one dared to mention the matter of drinking at dinner, but it was a night of cleanliness.

Early the next morning, Jiao Jiao Xiaojie and his wife drove the road into the mountain, the vehicle went to the mountain for more than an hour, passed through a forest, came out of the woods, and faced a big mountain, but Jiao Jiao's vehicle did not slow down at all, and rushed straight towards the mountain wall, Chen Mo scolded the grass, hurriedly pulled up the handbrake and stepped on the brake, the Land Rover car turned around for a full circle and a half before stopping, and then we were shocked to see that Jiao Jiao's car disappeared directly through the mountain wall.

I rubbed my eyes, almost disbelieving what I was seeing, until Jiao Jiao came out of the mountain wall and shouted at us, "What the hell, keep up!"

Chen Mo looked at me for help, I nodded helplessly, Chen Mo couldn't help it, he stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared and set off a wave, and rushed out, I couldn't help but close my eyes when I ran to the mountain wall, and when I opened it again, the vehicle had already passed through the mountain wall, and what appeared in front of us was a suddenly open grass.

Jiao Jiao smiled and patted Chen Mo's car window, Chen Mo lowered the window, and Jiao Jiao said mockingly, "That's all the big man, do you can't trust the car, or can't you trust me?"

I opened the car door and walked down, and said with a smile, "Don't laugh at us, boss, aren't we a big girl in the sedan chair, the first time, it's normal to be worried, after all, there is only one life, then again, boss, what are we doing here?"

Jiao Jiao snorted and teased, "Don't make excuses for the cowardly, the mountain wall we passed through just now is the mountain barrier here, without our leadership, ordinary people will be disturbed when they come here, so that they think that this is a big mountain, and then choose to avoid it, as for why they stopped here." ”

Jiao Jiao glanced at me, "We are mountain guards, not tour guides, since we have brought you in, do you still need to go forward?" ”

Jiao Jiao's mouth is not polite, through yesterday's contact, I already know that she is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, she said that she has no obligation to continue to guide us, I estimate that these words are just excuses, she and Xiao Jie, as mountain guards, must also have corresponding rules to restrict them, the real situation is likely to be the rules of the mountain guards that restrict them from moving forward, not the fear of trouble in her mouth.

After sincerely thanking them, Jiao Jiao and they drove back, and we continued to move forward in the direction indicated by Jiao Jiao, and after reaching the foot of the mountain, there was no way to cross the car, only a sheep intestine path zigzagged to the mountain.

There is no other way, we can only abandon the car and walk, fortunately, the mountain where Qingxuanguan is located is not a barren barren mountain, but a rich green mountain, along the way the trees are shady, flowers and plants are lush, insects and birds are singing, crisp and pleasant, and it is not lonely to walk.

Walked about a quarter, a tall archway appeared in front of us, the archway is very wide, the middle is high, both sides are low, the door number in the middle is engraved with Qingxuan two ancient writing seals, the pillars on both sides are engraved with a word panel, the left side is engraved, "quiet and inaction, can get the avenue of the world", the right side is engraved is, "the uproar of the Xiaju, not disturbed by the mortal dust".

I silently recited it several times in my heart, Taoist cultivation can be roughly divided into two paths, one is to enter the world, that is, to integrate into the ordinary people, feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of others, and then use it to confirm themselves, so as to jump out, the other is to be born, pay attention to the cultivation in a rare place, try to avoid being disturbed by the world, coincidentally, Buddhism also has a similar concept.

There is a little story about a young monk, who is very intelligent, he encountered a bottleneck in the process of comprehending the Dharma, and it was difficult to break the true meaning of the Dharma, and after he really couldn't figure it out, he went to ask his master, and the master told him that the true meaning of the Dharma lies in letting go of his obsession, and the apprentice asked how to let go, and the master said, you haven't picked it up, so why talk about letting it go? The young monk thought for a long time, so he decided to go down the mountain, and when his other brothers saw it, they asked him what he was going to do down the mountain, and the young monk replied, go and pick up something to be put down, and his brother sneered, since he wanted to put it down, why should he pick it up?

In this story, the young monk's brother is a born concept, while his master is just the opposite, at the end of the story, the young monk has attained Mahayana enlightenment after entering the world, and his brother has been trapped in the Hinayana realm all his life.

It is not difficult for us to see that Buddhism advocates entering the WTO, but in the two sentences of Qingxuanguan, it is full of the concept of birth, Qingxuanguan chooses to escape the world and cultivate, whether it is right or wrong, I'm afraid no one can say clearly, but one thing is very clear, that is, Lao Lei, who is the former head, is not satisfied with the status quo, he entered the WTO alone, it should be to find another path suitable for Qingxuanguan's practice, and it is precisely because of this that we can get acquainted.

When Lao Lei was dying, why he chose to entrust Qingxuanguan to me, I didn't understand, until I saw these two words now, I faintly understood, Lao Lei traveled through the red dust, exhausted his life's strength, and failed to find another path suitable for Qingxuanguan, which of course has the pros and cons of entering and being born, but more importantly, he has been taught by Qingxuanguan since childhood, and has already formed a solidified mode of thinking, which is difficult to jump out, since the people in the circle can't jump out, then simply give the choice directly to the people outside the circle, Gu Shiyun, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain, I am the outsider selected by Lao Lei。
