Chapter 13 The Taoist View of Wealth
Just after Li Hubao and Quanshan father and son took the stage to deliver their inaugural speeches, Li Chen slowly withdrew the spiritual power shrouded in the ancestral hall, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: A group of old foxes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yunhe did not attend the ancestral hall meeting today, according to his words: the monks are no longer exposed to red dust. At this moment, he was sitting opposite Li Chen, and a small stove of red clay was placed between the two of them. Hearing Li Chen say about the old fox, he was immediately happy.
"Morning baby, who do you say is the old fox?"
"Who else, old patriarch."
"Why?"
Li Chen looked at Yunhe and knew that he wanted to talk about it in the middle and ease the relationship between him and Lijiacun, but Li Chen was willing to do it. So he pouted.
"Calculate me every day, do you feel sorry? No matter how you toss, I'm still a kid, let me read quietly for a few years, okay? ā
"Now no one is bothering you, you can read every day. In a few years, you will have to go to junior high school in the house. I can't let you be like me, an old man, stuffed in the Taoist temple every day. Yunhe pretended to be puzzled and said.
"What you said, from today onwards, I will ignore what is happening outside the window, and only read the Huang Lao Jing with all my heart, and other messy things will be less annoying."
"Little doll, don't be angry with others" Yunhe did not give up and tried to continue to persuade.
"Master Dao, don't worry about idleness. My shoulders are too tender, now let me get some new technology, the rest, I can't stand the wind and waves, don't force me to not even live in the Taoist temple. ā
Li Chen directly reiterated his attitude again, looking at Li Chen's attitude very firmly. Yunhe had no choice but to shut up, but he still stared at Li Chen with pleading eyes.
Li Chen really couldn't stand an old man, desperately staring at himself with the so-called "pure eyes". He raised his hand helplessly and explained his thoughts.
"Master Dao, aren't you angry about what happened a few days ago?"
"What about being angry, what about not being angry? It's all because I'm poor and crazy. Yunhe sighed with emotion, put down the cup in his hand, and patted his leg gently.
"I Ching said, 'wealth is a great cause, and a new day is Shengde' People imitate the way of heaven, then they should 'praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth', and follow the heavens and people to achieve a 'great cause of virtue', so as to 'participate in heaven and earth'. Do you understand what this means? Yunhe deliberately asked Li Chen a question.
Li Chen knows these words and can understand them. The meaning of these words is that human beings are the souls of all things, and should strive to create wealth for society and achieve great things to the best of their natural ability. In the process of creating wealth, everyone must do their best, and wasting their talents is not fulfilling the way of heaven, and contributing to the society is also to realize the value of life given by heaven.
But Li Chen had a different understanding of wealth, and saw that Yunhe had a refined heart. He simply quoted the scriptures and made them.
"However, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, right?" Li Chen asked, Yun He thought about it, there was nothing wrong, and nodded yes.
Li Chen saw that Grandpa Dao recognized this, so he said a series of classics.
"Just kidding, talk to me about the classics, don't you know that most of the books are printed in my head now?" Li Chen thought so, but his mouth did not stop.
"But in the Eight Precepts of Fasting, it says, 'Do not steal anything for yourself.' The "Yuqing Sutra" contains the seventh precept of the Ten Precepts stated by Yuan Shi Tianzun: 'Do not bully orphans and poor people, and take away people's property'. In the "Twenty-Seven Precepts of the Miaolin Sutra", it is said: 'You must not steal people, and you must not take people's property in vain'. "Lao Jun Says One Hundred and Eighty Commandments" stipulates: 'Do not ask for characters. You shall not forcibly take people, nor shall you take more than one dollar from others'. "Taishang Induction Chapter" says: "Those who take money from people and wealth, they deserve their wives' families, and gradually die and mourn." But if they do not die, then there will be fire and water, thieves, forgotten objects, sickness, and tongue, that they may be worthy of vain.'" He also said, 'Whoever takes unrighteous wealth is like a leak to quench hunger, or a drink of wine to quench thirst, and he is not not satisfied, but he is also dead.'" The seventh precept of the Ten Commandments says: 'Do not be insatiable in your greed, do not accumulate wealth, but be frugal and show mercy to the poor.' āā
I will summarize these words in three ways. First, the pursuit of wealth should be done in moderation and not insatiable; the second is that even if you are rich, you must be thrifty; Third, it is necessary to help the poor and the poor, and not to be unkind to the rich. Right? Li Chen talked about it, looking at Yunhe's stunned appearance, a little proud.
"Chen Wazi, have you finished reading these books?" Yun He's excited hands trembled a little, just kidding, these crepe books, it seems that Li Chen has completely memorized them.
"Yes, it's not very difficult, I read it and memorized it, but some sentences didn't really understand what they meant at first, but after reading more books, I slowly understood." Li Chen deliberately looked at Yunhe with an innocent face.
"Okay, okay, you won, tell me what you think of the village, you're just an old monster who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, but you have grown a child's body." Yunhe sighed helplessly.
"Have you ever seen such a cute, smart, and studious youkai as me?" Li Chen asked Yunhe very strangely.
Yunhe was so embarrassed that he raised his slap to make a gesture to hit. Li Chen pretended to surrender, and the two of them were also very happy.
After a while, Yunhe let go of Li Chen, motioned for him to sit down, and continued to answer the question just now.
Li Chen thought about it, sorted out his clothes, looked at Yunhe very seriously, and said: "There are clouds in the Tao Te Ching: it is better to hold on to it; It cannot be kept for a long time. The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it; Rich and arrogant, self-blame. After retiring, the way of heaven is also. My understanding is that money is something outside the body after all, rather than being rich and arrogant, and leaving oneself to blame, it is better to retire after success, this is the way of heaven, right? ā
"For a village to become rich, it is not just a matter of money, but whether the heart can control money. It takes time for Lijiacun to learn to control wealth rather than be controlled by it. Control your wealth, and there will be greater wealth waiting in the future; Being controlled by wealth, I think it's a great thing to be able to maintain the current standard of living. ā
"What's more, can the nutrient solution only be used for rape and tobacco?" Li Chen didn't deliberately pay attention to his age at this time, it was a very hard thing to let a hundred-year-old old monster pretend to be a child all the time, since Yunhe had recognized that he was not an ordinary child, Li Chen simply let go.
"I took out a key to get rich, and the key was there. A group of adults, they don't use their brains to think about how to use this key to open more doors, and their brains are only used to calculate an 11-year-old child, and they don't feel panicked. Have you ever thought about how long Lijiacun can rely on me? I can't be chained here for the rest of my life, I'm gone, what should I do in Lijia Village? ā
After speaking, Li Chen pulled his hand at the corner of his mouth, meaning that from now on, he would not talk about this issue.
Yunhe thought about it, solemnly picked up the teacup in front of him with both hands, raised it in front of his eyes, signaled to Li Chen, and then drank the tea in the cup happily. Li Chen hurriedly turned sideways, signaling that he didn't dare to accept the salute, and at the same time returned the same salute.
Putting down the teacup, Yunhe took out a key from his arms, tossed it in his hand, and threw it to Li Chen. Li Chen caught it and looked at the key. Pure copper, the style is very ancient, the whole key is often held in the hand, and the key body is polished.
"This is the entrance key to the human hall, I know that you kid has been thinking about it for a long time, since you want to study quietly, I will simply give it to you in advance. But you must read all the books on the first floor of the two halls of heaven and earth before you can go to the human hall to study, and you can only read the first floor. After reading the book on the second floor of the two halls, you can read the second floor of the human hall. must not be violated. Otherwise, it's a harm to you. ā
Li Chen stood up happily, straightened his body, and then bowed down, hugged his hands in front of his abdomen, and saluted Yunhe from the bottom up. Yunhe raised Li Chen's hand with his hand and said, "No need to make a big salute." Sit down and listen to me tell you something. ā
After Li Chen sat down, Yunhe picked up the small pot in front of him with his right hand, did not pour tea, but put the pot in the palm of his left hand, slowly rubbed the pot, and sorted out his thoughts.
"In my lineage, the ancestor is the Pure Yang Patriarch Lu Dongbin, and later the Wang Chongyang Patriarch Quanzhen Sect. Master Wang Zu felt that the world was impermanent, and in order to leave a thought for the possible decline of the Quanzhen Sect in the future, he had this hidden vein of me. At first, the existence of the hidden vein was known only to each head of the school. Our existence is to rebuild the Truth at the right time when it is in a time when it is destroyed. But now the times are different, starting from my master, our branch has stood in front of the stage, and our branch is no longer in seclusion. ā
"I have never accepted apprentices, I know that when I meet you, the worldly generation is counted separately, and in the future, you will call me Master here in the Daomen. Actually, I'm selfish because you're a genius. Although you have not joined the church, I hope that if you have the opportunity in the future, you can help Quanzhen. ā
Li Chen nodded very affirmatively.
"What you are cultivating now is the secret method I taught, and you only passed on the first step before. Today, I will simply tell you the whole mantra, and for the rest, you will go to the human temple to find the answer yourself. You remember. ā
The avenue was first repaired through the nine orifices, and the nine orifices were originally in the tail Lu acupoint;
Rush from the soles of the springs first, and the springs rush through to the knees;
The knee slowly reaches the tail, and the mud pill is swirling sharply on the top;
The Secret Whisperer has passed on the original understanding, and there is no trace of the time when it comes;
Over the years, the dust and dirt have been polished, and the whole body is bright and bright;
What is the basis for cultivating the true living memory, the heart is dead and the group is not alive today;
The essence is full of meritorious tools, and the spiritual light shines on the Shenjing;
The golden lock passes through the magpie bridge, and the heavy building descends to the palace room.
Poor Li Chen could understand this mysterious mantra at once, and after listening to Yunhe's recitation, Li Chen was so anxious that tears came out. Yunhe remembered to scratch his ears and cheeks when he saw Li Chen, who had always seemed to be holding Zhizhu in his hands and the wind was light, not only amused.
So he went to the human hall alone and found a booklet of "Innate Exercises" for Li Chen. Then he briefly told Li Chen about the precautions and the relationship between them in each stage of resting and refining qi, concentrating and stopping thoughts, refining liquefaction and refining and refining gas.
As a result, Li Chen was completely attracted by the magic of Taoist exercises. In addition to eating every day, the rest of the time is soaked in the temple of heaven, earth and man. Li Chen thought that only by integrating all the books in this book could he continue to create the next stage of his Tai Chi Nebula Technique. Yunhe recognized Li Chen's crazy addiction to learning in the book, and when he encountered a problem that Li Chen couldn't understand, he explained it in more detail.
In this way, day by day, Li Chen seemed to have forgotten Lijia Village under the mountain, and the people of Lijia Village have always respected Li Chen's request, except for Li Wuhu, Li Hubao's two families and some people from the youth commando, no one came to disturb Li Chen's life of studying. Li Chen lives a life of practicing, reading, and sleeping every day, and even Yunhe is very surprised, I really can't imagine that a teenager, at the age when he is officially the most playful, can definitely endure the lonely reading life, and it seems that he still has some enjoyment.
Of course, Li Chen has not been harassed, and there is also the credit of Yunhe.
After Yunhe drank tea with Li Chen that day, he deliberately went down the mountain, gathered a group of clan elders together, and solemnly described what Li Chen said at that time, as it was, and even Li Chen's tone and expression at that time were meticulously described to the old people.
As a result, the old people fell seriously ill after returning home, and since then, the old people have successively said that they have completely given up to Li Wubao and Li Quanshan, father and son, and they have completely retired for the elderly. According to Li Wenfeng's words, "I have lived for a lifetime, and on the other hand, I haven't seen a fart doll clearly, and this old face is really unbearable." ā
Later, under Li Wenfeng's signal, the clan elders deliberately let Li Chen's words out, and when the villagers heard Li Chen's thoughts, the simple villagers were ashamed of themselves. Ordinary villagers didn't dare to go to the Taoist temple to disturb Li Chen, so they simply ran to Li Wuhu, and said some rumors some time ago to apologize to Li Wuhu.
After Li Quanshan heard Li Chen's words about "nutrient solution is the key", he ran to the fertilizer storage tank and sat by the pool for a full day. After returning home, he summoned the old people and the head of the village to announce that they would start planting fruit trees and trying to artificially plant Chinese herbal medicines on the barren mountain next year.
After Li Chen monitored the decision of the Quanshan meeting, Tuo Yunhe brought Li Quanshan a burden. Li Quanshan did not open the burden immediately after receiving it, but asked the clan elders and members of the youth commando team to be invited to the village committee.
Waiting for Li Quanshan to look at everyone with expectant eyes, he slowly opened the baggage and found that there were 2 thick books inside. It is Li Chen's neat writing of "Fruit Tree Planting and Grafting Techniques" and "Artificial Cultivation of Woody Medicinal Materials" with a small brush, which are the technologies that Li Chen has prepared for the next step of Lijia Village's plan.
Originally, Li Chen also prepared the technology related to breeding, but since the Li family couldn't think of it, let's wait until they think of it.
Arnold later asked Li Chen, why did he take the initiative to send the book out so simply?
Don't you think that delivering the book in time at that time is a good opportunity to aggravate the guilt of Lijia Village. Li Chen said.
As Li Chen said, when everyone in the meeting saw these two books, they were silent for a long time. Li Dewu shouted: "We're sorry for this kid!" After going back, Li Dewu beat Li Dahai hard, and at first Li Dahai didn't understand why he was beaten for no reason. Waiting for Li Dewu to tell the story, Li Dahai was stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he slapped himself hard.
The next day, Li Dahai, who was rammed, ran to the path in front of the Taoist temple, learned from the ancients, and knelt for a full day until the whole person was wooden. But Li Chen was stunned and didn't come forward. In the end, Yunhe came forward to beckon someone to carry him down the mountain, and by the way, he passed a sentence from Li Chen to Li Dahai: Be ashamed and brave.
In fact, Li Chen no longer took Li Dahai to heart. But as the habit of the Grand Duke, for his subordinates who have made mistakes, he cannot easily show that he has forgiven his mistakes, so as to inspire them to be ashamed and courageous.
used his spiritual power to slightly channel the meridians in Li Dahai's knees, so as not to leave sequelae, after all, the mountains at this time were already very humid.
"Well, I just read that 'the bones are paralyzed, the sense is evil, and the inner body is given up to the kidneys. The muscles are paralyzed, the relapse is in the evil, and the inner part is in the liver. The pulse is paralyzed, the relapse is in the evil, and the heart is resigned. The muscles are paralyzed, the relapse is in the evil, and the spleen is resigned. The skin is paralyzed, the relapse is in the evil, and the inner body is in the lungs', Li Chen continued to pick up the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" at hand and read it. In the book, there are theories such as the Theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements", the Theory of Tibetan Elephants, the Theory of Etiology, the Theory of Health Preservation, the Theory of Drug Treatment, and the Theory of Meridian Treatment. From a holistic point of view, the explanation of the "natural-biological-psychological-social" holistic medical model on the meridians, yin and yang of the human body really fascinated Li Chen.
Originally, Li Chen already had a very good understanding of the human body, and whoever scanned himself with mental power every day since he was 4 years old could also know the human body well. However, from an angle that Li Chen never thought of, from the magnetic field of the human body to the microscopic to the external causes and then to the unity of heaven and man, the ancient Chinese medicine has perfected Li Chen's cognition of the human body, and has also further improved Li Chen's self-created Tai Chi Nebula Formula, at this time Li Chen and Arnold have been very sure that Li Chen's next promotion should occur in Li Chen's lower dantian to form an independent galaxy, and any kind of celestial body formed in other acupoints cannot make Li Chen advance.
In order to confirm this one wants to help,. Li Chen drilled into the library every day, reading hungrily the doctrines of the meridians, the five elements, yin and yang, the human body, the stars, and the universe in the Taoist collection. The most direct embodiment of Taoist theory in the human body is Taoist medicine.
The interaction between Tao and medicine has helped Li Chen to understand the relationship between the universe in Taoism more deeply, such as "Su Wen": "The Tao is in the future, the changes are endless, and you know the origin!" ā¦ā¦ The number of trances is born in millimeters, from measurements, thousands of them, can be great, and its shape is even. Compare with "Lao Tzu" in "Blind to it, the name is Yi; If you don't hear it, your name is Xi; I can't fight, and the name is small. ā
Especially with the increase in the number of books Li Chen reads, the correspondence and comparison of theories, his medical skills have gradually improved, coupled with his long-term scanning of the human body, Li Chen has quickly grown into a qualified Taoist doctor.
But on the day Li Chen officially became a doctor, he cried for the first time.
Yunhe cried inexplicably, so he could only keep stroking Li Chen's back and bowing down to comfort him.
If you had learned these earlier, you might have been able to wake up your mother.
Thinking of this, Li Chen's tears flowed as follows.
