Section 352 Wudang Xianle

We were at a loss, so we had no choice but to repeat the old tricks, and when people were unprepared, we carefully took out the infrared detector carried in the small flying bag, searched carefully, and saw if there were any strange and unusual substances up and down Wudang Mountain, whether Mr. Wang Dalong would be whimsical again, on a whim, and the great mercy left us a helicopter or a time machine or something different from the material of this era, that would be great, but unfortunately the instrument did not move, it was really disappointing to us。 It seems that we really thought wrong this time, and we thought about it simply, but where is that thing hidden? It's really incomprehensible, it's really overwhelming.

When we were thinking, we suddenly heard a melodious and tactful, fluttering Taoist music not far away, this kind of music is obviously different from the music we hear on weekdays, fairy music fluttering, fairy music charm, cultivating sentiment, giving people great enjoyment, feeling that after listening to it, the whole body is soft, the internal organs feel light and fluttering, the feeling of going with the wind, the whole body is relaxed, falling into the clouds, the clouds are in the fog, the feeling of dancing like a fairy, its notes are endless, unique, the style is unique, this style must inherit the ancient witch dance music tradition, absorb the folk music of the pre-Qin period, the essence of court music and folk music, it is really a feeling of "fairy music suddenly spreads from the sky" and "fairy music flutters everywhere". I think this must be the world-famous Wudang Taoist music, referred to as Wudang Taoist music, which is synthesized and transformed according to the unique aesthetic taste of Taoism, forming a unique Taoist music, which has the effect of rendering the ritual festival and setting off the religious atmosphere, and runs through the whole of the ritual activities. Moreover, I heard that Wudang Dao music is an art form integrating song and dance music, which is very exquisite, and can be divided into two categories: rhyme and song. According to the different occasions and objects of singing, the rhyme is divided into yang and yin, and the music is divided into the main song and the juggling song. Yang tune, mainly used for rituals in the temple, with class recitation, performance, its object is the gods, is a song used in religious internal activities. Yintuo, which is applied to the activities of the Jiao dojo outside the temple and is aimed at people, is a song that is applied in the external activities of religion. Zhengqu, which is used to perform deeds for the gods. Juggling is mainly used to make dojos for the laity.

I said to Xiao Fei with great certainty next to me: "This is the famous Wudang Taoist music, we have the fate to listen to it, it is really a lot of Taoism, good luck, in fact, Taoism was formed earlier." During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taoist Taiping Sutra believed that music could touch heaven and earth, channel spirits, and calm the people. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "Yuan Shi Wu Du Ren Jing" believed that the separation of Sanskrit qi became a sound, and this natural sound was the hidden language of Dafan. In this way, Taoist music has become the language of the gods, giving it sacredness, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Taoist priest Kou Qianzhi of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the direct recitation to music recitation, combining the recitation of scriptures with music, foiling each other, complementing each other, and integrating into one. Lu Xiujing, a Taoist priest of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, absorbed Confucian etiquette, formulated the Jiao ceremony, and gradually standardized it. In the Tang and Song dynasties, it had begun to take shape. During the Tang Dynasty, court music was transmitted to Wudang Mountain. The famous Taoist Chen Tuan of Wudang in the fifth generation is familiar with the scriptures and books, and his musical accomplishment is very high. ”

Xiao Fei interrupted my words, and whispered in his ear, muttering: "Of course I know that it is the Taoist music of Wudang Mountain, but I am a person who has been here for a period of time, and naturally knows everything about it, such as a number of family treasures, you snatched half of what I was going to say, but it is true that Taoist music soared at those times, and I was the only one, and then in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wudang Taoist Sun was ordered to enter the palace to set up Jiao Dao." In the Yuan Dynasty, due to the emperors of the past dynasties respecting the true martial gods, every year on the birthday of Zhenwu, Tianshou Festival and the emperor's birthday, the royal family directly sent envoys to Wudang Mountain to build Jiao, so that Wudang Mountain Daole was developed. The Ming Dynasty was the most glorious period for the development of Wudang Daole. Because Wudang Taoism was respected by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, Wudang was built to make Wudang Mountain a royal family temple, Zhu Di also personally wrote the "Ming Imperial Xuanjiao Movement" for Wudang Taoist priests to sing, and from all over the country to select more than 400 high roads to be assigned to the palaces of Wudang Mountain to observe the Tao; the sacrifice is also set up according to the palace system of music music to set up music and dance students (the people who have been trained in the court sacrificial music for the royal performance, chanting, and music); often set up an altar to build Jiao in Wudang Mountain, as little as three or seven days, as long as forty-nine days, once the Son of Heaven and one Dynasty Cheng, once the Son of Heaven and one day of music. ”

We then followed the sound with great curiosity, and sure enough, we saw hundreds of fairy wind Dao bones in this mountain, fluttering in white clothes, a huge lineup of Taoist priests there are a kind of beating and singing while practicing, while practicing words, playing musical instruments are also countless, miscellaneous, there are bells, drums, hanging gongs, cymbals, cymbals, big wooden fish, sheng, flute, pipe, Flutes, etc., all the music and song, all one, complement each other, colorful notes fluttering with the wind, one by one, the jumping notes are organically connected together, constituting a complete piece of music, solemn and elegant, the unique charm of the fairy music drifted to the nine clouds outside.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh and praised: "Wow, these Wudang Mountain Taoist priests are really amazing, no worse than the level of Wudang Mountain in modern society, this performance level is so high, they are about to catch up with the royal band." ”

I wondered and said, "I didn't expect these Taoist priests to be so versatile, I thought they meditated, meditated, and practiced martial arts every day, but I didn't expect them to be so proficient in music and so exquisite in playing musical instruments, it's really breathtaking, they are really some cultural people, by the way, how do they practice on weekdays? I'm really curious about the life of their Taoist priests." However, it is estimated that they practice the truth and seek the Tao every day, eat and drink enough, and meditate all day and night meditation is very boring, so they are bored and practice music, but they also pass a lot of free and lonely time. ”

Xiao Fei said disappreciatively: " Of course, I didn't tell you before, when our thief group sent us to practice in Wudang Mountain, I found that those Taoist priests are all college students, as well as masters, and there are countless doctors, so it is called powerful, the main reason is that there are too many talents in modern society, like the carp crossing the river, endlessly, endlessly, so it is said that the conditions for recruiting disciples in Wudang Mountain have been improved, and the basic qualifications of Taoist monks are required to be at least a bachelor's degree, so it is not easy to do anything in the current society, there are too many talents, the competition is too great, to be a Taoist, nuns have to have a high degree of education, so it is not uncommon to study in college now, even those who kill chickens and sell pork are college students, there are too many Chinese, 1.3 billion people, so academic qualifications are very important, but ability is more important, the most important thing must be like my Xiaofei, have a skill, in order to live and defend the country.

And especially the most important thing is to have the ability to learn continuously, diligently, to live and learn until you are old. By the way, you just said that the practice of the Taoist priests, then you can be regarded as asking the right person, it is really like a number of treasures, not blowing, I myself can be regarded as half a Taoist, I also practice here for a few months, but the Tao is natural, everything goes naturally, I did not deliberately choose books, those books are destined to read which books, I have read "Taishang Induction Chapter", "Taishang Laojun Said Changqing Jingjing", "Qiu Zu Confession", "Taoist Thirteen Classics", "Wenchang Emperor Yin Vulture Text", "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose", "Singing Taoist Mantra", " Cultivating the Tao Mantra", "Taishang Xuanmen Morning and Evening Classes", "Taishang Xuhuang Tianzun Forty-Nine Chapters Sutra", "Haiqiong Bai Zhenren Quotations", "Nanhua Zhenjing", "Tao Te Ching", "Taishang Laojun Vipassana Sutra", "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Dingguan Sutra", "Chongyang Lijiao Fifteen Treatises", "Tianyinzi Health Book", "Sitting and Forgetting Theory", "Taoism Southern Transmission and Lingnan Culture", "Sanguan Sutra", "Beidou Sutra", "Yushu Treasure Sutra" and so on, I feel that every word is really beautiful, and the insights have made me suddenly open and benefit a lot. In fact, I have practiced all of them now, and there are only two ways to do Taoist kung fu: one is to practice in silence, and the other is to cultivate in the environment. For those who live at home, because I have work to complete and I don't have the conditions to practice during the day, I do kung fu for two periods before going to bed in the morning and evening, and I would rather sleep less than let my kung fu be interrupted, in fact, it is similar to our practice of kung fu, and the different paths are the same, meditating or standing between 5 and 7 o'clock in the morning and between 21 and 23 in the evening, starting from half an hour and gradually increasing to two hours. Don't be too tight, do what you can, slowly increase the time, and don't be too loose. Now I almost have three or four hours of meditation, and I can attain the worldly attainment of the world, and I can get the benefits of the path without hindering the work of the world. And because of the meditation, I am sober-minded, physically strong, and can succeed in my worldly career. As for the methods of exercising, there can be thousands of ways, such as meditation, contemplation, chanting Buddha, holding mantras, counting breaths, etc., but there is always no other way to contemplate and fix wisdom, and its principles are the same, but you can choose a method that is compatible with you and go deeper. In the early days of meditation, the mind is interdependent, the gods and forms are interdependent, the body and mind are one, and the heaven and man are one; in the evening, when he goes to Zen, he uses the word "nothing" to make the absence complete, that is, there is nothing and nothing, no one has no self, and the true nature is self-revealed. After choosing a method, you should practice with all your mental strength, and if you have delusions and troubles, you don't have to think about it, but if you feel that your nature is empty, you will immediately return to the Dharma. Do not be drowsy and forgetful, and always shine, do not scatter delusions, and remain silent, so that the mind is settled in a realm. The mind is not moving, and the heart is not moving. However, the time for meditation is limited, and the practice is the real kung fu in the daily chores. True nature is bright, not for the change of circumstances, troubles for the wisdom of the species, troubles are when the Tao is cultivated, like a lotus out of the mud and not stained! By the way, he is also my master, also a teacher, also a friend, I still remember the first time I saw him tall and thin, eyebrows and eyes, vertical bun, long hair fluttering, the strong mountain breeze of Wudang Mountain blowing his black hair, he is holding a guitar, if no one is taking care of himself there leisurely strolling, the wind is light and serious playing, that playing is really good, flowing water, in one go, I didn't know how to play at that time, after the fortunate to know him, under his patient guidance, the master led the entry, practice in the individual, I now play is also impressive, after all, the starting point is highXiao Fei gushed endlessly, and said unashamedly.

I suddenly had an idea, and whispered to Xiao Fei: "Oh, Xiao Fei doesn't have the surname Wang is really a big loss, you are really good at selling melons and boasting about yourself, you see you, when it comes to things that interest you, we forget our business again, by the way, we are really at a loss now, there is nothing to do, but there are people in this Wudang Mountain, and what about the ancient places here that are thousands of years old, passed down from generation to generation, we can avoid other people, and quietly ask these people if they know something?" Maybe you can find any clues about the parchment note from them?" Xiao Fei nodded helplessly, saying that this was also a helpless solution.
