Chapter 019: Longevity
Finally halfway up the mountain!
Lu Shuo stood on the flat ground on the mountainside, looked down and saw that the mountain road he walked when he came was black, stretching all the way down, and the stairs were dense and dense, looking high and steep. Lu Shuo realized that he had climbed a long mountain road www.biquge.info then realized that he had climbed a long mountain road.
When the people went inside, they saw that the place was very large, as Wei Fuzi had said. There were lush trees on both sides, and Lu Shuo took a breath, as if there was really a fresh aroma of plants.
The temple is so large that it occupies almost three-quarters of the area, and only a small part on the right side is vacant, with soft green grass growing on it, and many parents in cloth clothes and children fly kites there. The red walls and black tiles of the temple are simple and generous, hidden in the dense forest and bamboo, and there is a poetic sense of going through the vicissitudes of life.
Wei Fuzi led the six of them to the temple. I saw that the mountain gate was wide open, and there were many people who came to enter the incense, but in the pure land of the Buddha gate, they did not dare to make a loud noise, for fear of angering the gods. After entering the hall and passing through the Tianwang Palace, they came to the main hall of the temple, the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
The threshold of the treasure hall is very high, Lu Shuo has to use "climbing" to pass, it is said that many poor families do not have enough money to worship incense, so they will come here to donate the threshold.
Walking into the main hall, the most eye-catching thing is the golden body of Sakyamuni enshrined in the hall, the face of the golden body is very majestic, and it looks a little scary.
Sage Cloud: Zi is silent, and the strange power is chaotic.
Wei Fuzi believed in the Buddha, so the three masters and apprentices knelt on the futon, respectfully bowed three times, and did not go to draw lots to ask for the rune, and walked straight out of the Gude Temple.
They have important things to do! Worshipping the Buddha is just incidental.
Wei Fuzi was familiar with the way and took them to the bamboo forest.
Lu Shuo asked suspiciously, "Sir, have you been here many times?" ”
Wei Fuzi leisurely led the way in front, and at the same time turned back to answer Lu Shuo's question: "I have followed your uncle to Cangzhou for almost twenty days, I told you before, there are many famous people who live in seclusion in this Yuluo Mountain, and there are often Confucians from other state capitals who come here to discuss the Tao. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the bamboo forest in front of him and continued: "In that bamboo forest, a pulpit is set up, as long as there is no wind and rain, there will be famous people here to teach every ten days, which is also a tradition for decades, and there are many people who come here." Ten days ago I gave you a day off, and that's where I was. ”
Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin glanced at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes!
I didn't expect this Yuluo Mountain's literary spirit to be so profound! It can really be called Zhong Lingyuxiu.
Soon they were in the place that Wei Fuzi had said. But it is a pity that although the weather is beautiful and the day is the day to set up an altar to teach, because today is the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many people outside, and many celebrities and celebrities stay at home for the festival and cannot come, so the pulpit was not set up in the end.
The three masters and apprentices sighed again, a pity!
Lu Shuo looked around and saw that the terrain here was relatively flat, with green bamboos scattered around, and a small stream flowing slowly through the middle. The original appearance of the bamboo forest has been completely preserved, and the bamboo cases are placed on the grass one by one, and there is only a straw mat made of pampas and reeds behind the case.
It's really elegant.
When Wei Fuzi saw his acquaintances, he led them forward to talk. The two first exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wei Fuzi took Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin forward and introduced them to the man.
The man had gray hair, looked like he was in his sixties, dressed in a brown linen coat, and only had a wooden hairpin on his bun, and he looked very good. His beard grew vigorously, his eyebrows were long, and his beard reached his chest.
It was the first time Lu Shuo had seen such a long beard, and he was really curious about what he would do when he usually ate and washed.
The old man known as "Old Uncle Tang" stroked his long hair after listening to Master Wei's introduction, looked at Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin kindly, and praised with a smile: "The two teenagers are both aura-like, and they will achieve great things in the future." ”
Lu Shuo touched his nose and felt that this old man was talking nonsense with his eyes open in order to praise people. He and Yuan Wenlin are still so young, Lu Shuo can't understand where his "aura" is manifested.
I don't want this evaluation to be verified since then, but that's another story.
After Wei Fuzi's introduction, Lu Shuo knew that this old man's identity was very unusual. He is also a famous man who lives in seclusion in Yuluo Mountain, has gone through three dynasties so far, and was once the first emperor's teacher, the official to the prince and the prince, but later when he was older, he retired from the previous dynasty. One of his close friends lived in seclusion here.
It's just that his best friend is now long gone, because Mr. Tang is ninety-six years old this year.
When Lu Shuo heard the number ninety-six, he doubted his ears for a while!
You must know that in ancient times, when medicine was not yet developed, although people paid great attention to health preservation, there is a saying: life is rare for seventy years. If you can live to be seventy-three years old, you can be compared with Sage Kong, not to mention that after Lu Shuo's searchlight-like eyes scanned again and again, I found that this old man Donald had a ruddy complexion, his eyes were not dazzled or deaf, and his back was only slightly hunched, and his whole person's mental outlook was very good.
The first time Lu Shuo saw him, he just thought that he was only in his sixties! I wonder how he did it!
Yuan Wenlin exclaimed "wow", and asked his question on behalf of Lu Shuo: "Grandpa, don't say it, sir, we really can't see that you are so old! What did you grow up eating, and how did you maintain it so well!"
Lu Shuo choked. What kind of question is that? It sounds like an insult.
However, Yuan Wenlin's question was right to the appetite of everyone present, and many elegant scribes came over one after another, gathered around Donald, and waited quietly for Donald's answer.
Uncle Tang didn't care about Yuan Wenlin's abruptness, his eyes smiled like a moon bend, and his face was folded. He pointed at Yuan Wenlin and said with a smile: "You little doll, you are angry when you speak." Everyone eats whole grains, of course, I will eat whatever you eat, can I still chew the elixir every day?"
Yuan Wenlin also realized his slip of the tongue, and laughed dryly.
Uncle Tang continued: "If you want to say that it is different, there are really some, but it requires some perseverance that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. ”
Uncle Tang stroked his beard, picked up his bamboo cup, took a sip of tea, and sold Guanzi, seeing that the audience was a little anxious, then he continued with a smile: "The so-called miss is a thousand miles. Although I also eat grains, I don't get tired of eating fine and fine food, and the more precious and delicious the food, the better. I often eat coarse grains, only eat seven points full at each meal, and vegetarian all year round, I only eat meat once a day, and the meals are less oil and less salt, and now I have insisted on it for more than 70 years, I ask you to persevere?"
Most of the people shook their heads, and some of them said yes, but they were all newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers.
The appetite is one of the six desires, which is difficult for mortals to overcome, and even some people take the test for fame and fortune to satisfy these instinctive desires.
Foodie Lu Shuo also felt that this was a very difficult task, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Donald. This kind of person who knows how to restrain himself has always been strict with himself and very persistent, so he can achieve great things.
Uncle Tang continued: "If you can't do this, it's nothing. As long as you pay attention to a light and healthy diet on weekdays and avoid overeating, it is also okay. It is also very possible to keep a good mood, not to be happy or worried, to have a childlike heart, and to live a long life. ”
Lu Shuo is really taught!
Because of the drive of Uncle Tang, the atmosphere in the bamboo forest gradually became warmer, and many scribes discussed the topic of health preservation, and after a while, they went around to academic topics.
Yuan Wenlin was very impatient with this, so he encouraged Lu Shuo to go with him to watch the Keju event, and Lu Shuo naturally agreed. Although he also wanted to hear about these people's high opinions, it was just that some of the ancient books that these people talked about were all things that Lu Shuo had never heard of, and gradually lost interest.
Besides, one of their goals was to go to a Keju race!
The two explained the situation to Wei Fuzi, and Wei Fuzi was also very considerate of their feelings, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but he carefully instructed the four little guys to follow Yuan Wenlin and Lu Shuo closely, and then turned his head to listen to a person's talk.
The two excitedly said goodbye to Wei Fuzi, and walked out of the bamboo forest together, bypassing the back wall of Gude Temple, and came to Keju Field.
The Keju court is quite large, similar to the small basketball court in the previous life, rectangular in shape, with a tall wooden gate on each side, with colored flags on it, and a small hole above the wooden door, which should be the hole for the goal.
Lu Shuo thought that Keju was the same as a football, kicking into a frame on the ground! Unexpectedly, the target was high in the air.
While the two were sitting in the wooden stands watching, the final Kemari match had already begun. There were quite a lot of spectators who came, but Lu Shuo and the others ran to the front because they were young and crutches. The green cloth shirts of the two were a little wrinkled, and they looked a little shabby in front of a group of gorgeously dressed official children in the front row.
The two didn't care about this, they found a good position, and they focused on watching the Keju match.
There are about 20 people on the field, divided into red and blue teams, and they are distinguished by the color of the belt. Among them, the red team had the strongest momentum, and the first twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was particularly good in technique, scoring several goals in a row. The audience cheered.
The result is obvious, it should be the red team that wins.
Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin already knew the inevitable result of the game, but they didn't care about it. Lu Shuo is okay, he is a woman's temperament, he is not keen on ball games, he just came here to see a new thing, but Yuan Wenlin was incoherent excitedly, repeating to Lu Shuo the grand occasion of the game just now, obviously completely in love with this sport.
Sure enough, no matter what era it is, there are enthusiastic fans! Lu Shuo couldn't help but complain.
Suddenly, someone shouted "ah", the voice was very poignant, and the crowd behind also broke out into a burst of boos.
Lu Shuo and Yuan Wenlin followed the prestige, and saw that on the sand in front of them, the heroic young man of the red team just now was pressed to the sand, and several small guys beat him.
