Volume 2 The Legend of the Gathering Immortals

51 times, one sesame stone, two large caves

The poem says:

In the middle of a rocky river, the flood washed away for thousands of years,

The old man in the cave knows the bottom carefully, and the monk's heart is bright.

Speaking of Niuquan Village, everything has returned to normal, Li Deren studied medicine, Li Wusheng practiced martial arts, Niu Xing still followed his father, managing things in the village, Wang Zhentai is still in Miao'an Temple, chanting and worshipping Buddha. But in the past two years, he has become accustomed to doing one thing, that is, to go to the well platform on time, wait for a donkey to come, fill the jug in the donkey's pack, help fill it with water, and then put the donkey back.

What's going on? Let me tell you slowly.

To the west of Niuquan Village, on the Qingqing River Valley, there are two natural caves, which have the same name, called Wangda Cave. The big hole on the east side of the river, the mouth of the hole is big, but not so deep, it is called the East Big Cave. The cave on the west side of the river, the entrance of the cave is under the cliff, the entrance of the cave is small, but the hole is very deep, it is called the West Big Cave, two caves, opposite each other across the clear river. In the middle of them, in the middle of the Qingqing River, there is a huge stone, and this stone is called Sesame Stone. In the West Cave, there has always been an old road, people only know his surname Wang, call him Wang Lao Dao, people nearby, don't know when he lived in, don't know where he came from, only know that he has never come out in this cave. But he had a habit of looking for a donkey who knew the way, and every day before noon, the donkey would carry the jug to the well, wait for someone to come, fill the jug with water, and the donkey would carry it back to the West Cave.

This old man was very peculiar, he would put a pancake on the donkey's donkey, and whoever helped him fill it with water could take it home and eat it. Therefore, everyone in the village knows that when they meet this donkey, whether it is morning or night, they will help fill the jug and then go home with the pancakes. Since Wang Zhentai went to Miao'an Temple, in his spare time, he always came to the well platform at a fixed point, waited for the arrival of the donkey, helped him fill the water, and did not take the pancake like others. If you do something for a long time, it will become a habit. Wang Zhentai developed the habit of fetching water for the donkey, not only did he not take the pancake, but sometimes he would take some grain, put it on the donkey's donkey, and bring it back to Lao Dao.

After the water was fetched that day, he followed the donkey and walked out of the village, into the river valley, to the edge of the cliff, and along the path into the West Big Cave.

When he came in from the entrance of the West Big Cave, he walked a depressed bag of cigarettes, and saw that there was light inside, and when he just came in from the outside, his eyes were still a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't see clearly. Slowly, my eyes got used to it, and I saw what was in front of me clearly.

First looked at the donkey, walked to a stone trough, and stood there waiting. After a while, an old man came from the cave, dressed in a straight body, with a cow's heart on his head, thin-soled fast boots under his feet, his arms were longer than his knees, only a big one a foot away, a gray beard fluttering on his chest, and his face was full of wrinkles, full of vicissitudes. He reached out and took the jug from the donkey's donkey, poured two jars of water into the trough, and patted the donkey on the buttocks, and the old donkey obediently wandered away. At this time, the old Taoist found Wang Zhentai who came in.

Lao Dao hurriedly raised his palms and sent a message, "Immeasurable Tianzun, is it Wang Zhentai who came?"

This shout startled Wang Zhentai, and he thought to himself how he knew me? Not only did he know my name, but he also knew that I was coming, as if he had been prepared for it. There was no time to think about it, Wang Zhentai hurriedly clasped his hands together and dictated that the Buddha was good, "Amitabha, the old immortal, is Wang Zhentai below." ”

Wang Lao said, "Hahaha, Immeasurable Tianzun, you have made the channel wait so hard, and I finally looked forward to you." Come on, come on, sit down quickly, let me take a good look at you, it's not in vain that I've been waiting for you here for so many years, and see what you look like as a Western sacred. ”

Wang Zhentai, "Isn't it an old immortal, is it to come down again?"

Wang Lao said, "The poor Dao is here for your sisters and brothers, and the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

Wang Zhentai, under the leadership of Wang Laodao, sat down next to a stone table.

Wang Lao said, "You don't have to ask, I will definitely tell you what you should tell." I shouldn't have told you, and I won't tell me if you ask me. What I want to tell you now is that I came specially for you two brothers and sisters on the orders of the immortal master. Now I'll tell you one thing, go into my hole, what did you see before?"

Wang Zhentai, "I saw that huge sesame stone. ”

Wang Lao said, "Okay, I'll start with this piece of sesame stone." ”

It is said that this sesame stone is no different from the stone on the mountain, but it is a huge stone, after years of flooding, there are no edges and corners, and it has become a huge pebble, with a crack in the middle, one side is big and the other is small, the shape is like a sesame seed, so people call it sesame stone.

Don't look at him now, he is an ordinary stubborn stone, but when it comes to his origin, it has a long history.

In the ancient century, it was still a chaotic world, since the opening of Pangu, in order to prevent the flood and benefit mankind, Nuwa Niangniang refined stones to make up for the sky, so that we have a peaceful world. This stubborn stone is the small stone left in the process of Nuwa Niangniang's stone refining. This stone, after thousands of years of flooding, the elf is still there, and then divided into two, this elf turned into a monster, the head of a bear, the body of a person, 20 zhang high, that bloody mouth, can suck a river dry, can also swallow any monster. Because it was born of a stubborn stone, it did not go through any civilization, only its own spirituality, was discovered by Emperor Yan, and was trained by him to become a fierce general, Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor launched a battle against the deer, and finally the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan and subdued his men, but this spirit of the stubborn stone was killed by the Yellow Emperor's General Xiong, a ghost, and flew back to the stubborn stone. For many years, they have suffered from the floods and received the punishment they deserve.

In order to prevent this ghost from coming out again, the Yellow Emperor specially sent a big frog, with a bloody mouth, squatting in the east, once the ghost came out, the frog would jump up and swallow the elf, so that he could no longer endanger the world and turn the world upside down.

"When you go out of my cave in a moment, look to the east, look at the mountain, look at the shape, and look at the big cave in the east, and see if it is a frog with a big mouth, squatting there, ready to jump, eating sesame stones. So the entrance of this cave where I live now is the immortal masters of the past generations, who live here, the painting is cursed, and the ghost in the sesame stone is closed, this ghost, after the last catastrophe, has been much docile, and after so many years of flooding, coupled with the suppression of the Tao Te Ching, in the near future, it will be re-revealed, to assist a great virtue in the world, to benefit one party, who will lighten his sins, this time will soon come. ”

Wang Zhentai, "Old Immortal, aren't you also leaking the secret of heaven to me?"

Wang Lao said, "This is the will of the ancestor of Taishang Laojun Dao, I want you to take him as an apprentice and do this with you, so I must tell you, this is one of the reasons why I am waiting for you today." ”

Wang Zhentai, "According to you, could there be other reasons?"

Wang Lao said, "Let me ask you first, do you know why you want to be the teacher of this stone?"

Wang Zhentai, "Old fairy, aren't you joking? How do I know? I don't even know that there is a ghost in this stone, how can I know that I am still his teacher? ”

Wang Lao said, "You and I are cultivators on different paths, you are a disciple of Buddhism, I am a descendant of Taoism, but Taishang Laojun, give me Buddha Rulai, the relationship is very good, and they are all right for the happiness and health of mankind, before your master did not appear, only I broke through the maze to you, can you believe it?"

Wang Zhentai, "I am just a lay disciple, dedicated to the Buddha, has not yet stepped into the threshold of the Buddha's family, has not yet comprehended the true meaning of the Buddha's family, my Buddha is like coming, if there is any sending, the disciple is willing to break the bones, purify all sentient beings, please the old fairy to teach me, what should I do?"

Wang Lao said, "It seems that your master has already appeared, so I will explain your past life and future life to you in detail." ”

Precisely:

Nuwa made up for the sky and turned into a stubborn stone, pointing out the maze and turning into an idiot

One sentence is a secret, and the past life and the future life will tell you.
