The place where the Taoist priest practices is different from the temple called by the Buddhists, the fundamental scale is divided into the palace and the view, the big one is the palace, and the small one is the view. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xuanzhen Palace is the largest palace in the southwest region, covering a wide area. Located on the edge of the Second Ring Road, it was still a suburb more than 20 years ago, with an elegant environment suitable for Taoist practice. At the entrance hung the sign of the Provincial Taoist Association, a roller shutter door equipped with a bad scenery and a stainless steel automatic ticket gate, and two staff members stared at the tourists.

There were also many security personnel carrying shields and batons, waiting for the day. When encountering a suspicious person, he stepped forward and ordered him to take out his ID card and go through the necessary security checks.

But in the past 20 years, the economy of the Celestial Empire has developed greatly, and Xuanzhen Palace has been located in the downtown area.

In front of the palace is a straight, two-way eight-lane street, with a constant stream of vehicles coming and going, and the sound of engines roaring from morning to night.

In addition, it is a must-visit attraction in City C, and there are tourists everywhere who keep taking pictures with their mobile phones.

In such an environment, it is naturally impossible to talk about cultivation.

Huang Xu bought a ticket, waited in line for half an hour, and sweated all over his body before entering the palace.

There are still a large number of tourists inside, and the early spring is the dry season, and the air is not circulated, and it is very turbid.

This is the first time he has been to Xuanzhen Palace in C City for so many years, and the tickets here are not expensive, ten yuan a piece, the problem is that it is too crowded, which is really uncomfortable.

I was about to ask the staff if Ku Xuan was there and where he was. I saw that the Gao Dao person I saw at Shi Zhen last time hurriedly came over and made a mockery to Huang Xu: "Amitayus Shoufu, dare to ask the donor if he is here to find my master?" ”

If you don't guess wrong, this Taoist priest should be a disciple of Ku Xuan, and there is a high possibility that he will be the palace master of this Xuanzhen Palace in the future.

Huang Xu: "I was about to visit Master Kuxuan, may I ask Master's number?" My name is Huang Xu. ”

Gao Dao Shi: "Xiaodao Tang is very useful." ”

Huang Xu was puzzled in his heart: "Hello Master Tang, how did Master Zun know that I came to the palace?" ”

Tang Dayong smiled slightly, and did not answer: "Donor, please come with me." ”

Following Tang Dayong, the two of them walked around for a while, and then came to a courtyard behind Xuanzhen Palace.

There is no one else in the courtyard, it is very quiet, there is a room in front, and there is a big seal "Dan" written on the door, which should be the Dan room of the Taoist temple.

In early spring, the plants in the yard have sprouted new green, there are bees buzzing and flying, and the silence is two worlds away from the noisy scene of tourists outside.

Suddenly, Huang Xu felt an indescribable freshness and comfort.

This feels like the first time I have entered the dimensional space, obviously, this place has aura, but it can't be compared to the small world.

Kuxuan Daoist was carrying a kettle to water the jasmine bushes in the yard, and when he saw Huang Xu, he bowed slightly: "On a whim, I knew that an acquaintance was visiting, so I asked Dayong to go out and have a look, but I didn't want it to be you." ”

Huang Xu was taken aback: "Dao Chief, can you even calculate this?" It's really a mystery! ”

"I can't figure it out." Ku Xuan simply denied it. Then he pointed to a chair in the courtyard, motioned for Huang Xu to sit down, and continued: "A cultivator is like a kettle full of water in my hand, the pot is full of distracting thoughts, just empty yourself, and you will naturally be able to turn something into it. According to the words of your layman, it should be the sixth sense! ”

As he spoke, he smiled slightly.

Today, the sun is warm, two chairs and a coffee table are placed in the yard, and the tea has already been brewed.

A few wooden boards were laid on the ground, and many thread-bound books were being dried on them, Huang Xu glanced at it, it was nothing more than "Zhuangzi", "Taishang Induction Chapter" or something.

He thanked him, sat down in his chair, and took a sip of his teacup.

Ku Xuan was accompanying him, looking at Huang Xu with blazing eyes, his eyes were frighteningly bright, as if he was about to see through people.

Huang Xu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he was also a casual person, and couldn't help but laugh: "Dao Chief, you just care about what I do, Huang Xu is not a beauty." ”

Hearing Huang Xu say this, Tang Dayong felt that he was very rude, and a slight anger appeared on his face.

Ku Xuan didn't care, waved his hand at the apprentice, and said with a smile: "In the past few years, there have been more and more tourists in the palace, and there are many beautiful women. Everyone loves beautiful things, this is nature, there is no need to suppress yourself. ”

Huang Xu: "The Taoist is open-minded. ”

Ku Xuan: "Huang Xu, we met at Chairman Shi's house last time, and since you came to the door today, according to the words of the Buddhist family, we can be regarded as destined people." As for our Taoists, that is cause and effect, and you and I have cause and effect. ”

Huang Xu was about to speak, and the old Taoist said: "Since you have found the old way, I think you have a question to ask." ”

Huang Xu nodded.

Ku Xuan didn't wait for Huang Xu to ask, picked up the teacup, added some hot water to Huang Xu, and slowly spoke: "The so-called cultivation, the ultimate goal of our Taoist is to cultivate an incorruptible body and become an immortal and become a saint. Last time at Shi Zhen's house, Lao Dao said something, I don't know if you remember. The human world is a vast ocean, and our body is a boat, as long as we cross to the other side, we can cultivate the body of the immortal saint. But compared to the sea, our bodies are so fragile, maybe a wave hits, and it will be shattered in an instant. Therefore, we can only strive to strengthen our bodies and strengthen ourselves. ”

"Then, how to strengthen your body, that is, to attract the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, and use the body as the cultivation of Danding to make it strong."

"Wait until Danding is strong, and the medicine will grow on its own."

"This is the Dan Tao of Taoism."

……

Huang Xuyun heard Huang Xuyun's words for a long time, and when Ku Xuan finished speaking and was moistening his throat with tea, he interjected: "Dao Chief, I don't understand Taoist cultivation, and I don't understand your old man's home." Still, I understand a little bit of what you mean. Is it to use the vitality of heaven and earth for my use, as long as the vitality absorbed is enough, enough essence, and can stay in the body. Over time, the body will gradually undergo qualitative changes due to quantitative changes. ”

Ku Xuan: "That's right. ”

Huang Xu: "Once the body undergoes a qualitative change, the supernatural powers are self-generated, is this what it means?" ”

Ku Xuan smiled: "Magical powers, I haven't seen the old way, anyway, I don't know any Taoism, and I don't pursue this, I can only save it, maybe there is!" Besides, the new society doesn't talk about this either. Taoism, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a philosophy, worldview and methodology. The times are different, and it takes too much time, money, and material resources to practice supernatural powers, but it doesn't make much sense. Moreover, I thought that the pursuit of supernatural powers was far from the avenue. ”

Huang Xu: "The Taoist is a moral master, but he is open-minded. So, is there really anyone in this world who can master Taoism, and are there any supernatural creatures? Thinking of the female ghost Gu Yu and Cao Wanyu, he remembered the purpose of his coming here.

"Anyway, I haven't seen it, and I can't talk nonsense without empirical evidence."

Huang Xu: "Dao Chief, please also ask, how did the demons and monsters come about?" ”

"All things have spirits, as long as it knows how to absorb the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and understands the truth of the cycle of heaven, it is enlightened." Ku Xuan pointed to the flower on a red plum next to him: "You see it's a dead thing, but the child knows the joy of fish?" No one dares to say that it has no thoughts, perhaps, in its eyes, the world is a different way, right? ”

Speaking of this, Ku Xuan showed a gentle smile on his face, and his fingers stroked the petals, as if caressing a woman's smooth skin: "As long as it understands the rules of the world, after a hundred years and thousands of years, it may not be able to become a bewitching beauty." The world is so beautiful, it's good to take a closer look. ”

An indescribable atmosphere shrouded the sky over the courtyard, and in the sunshine, the bitter treasure of the crane's childish face was solemn.

Huang Xu was stupid, and after a long time, he said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Ku Xuan: "Master Huang, do you have any other questions to ask?" ”

Huang Xu: "Dao Chief, I'm investigating an old story, I don't know if you know a person named Fang Wei." ”

"You know, he's my cousin, and he's dead."

"He's dead?" Even though he already had a premonition in his heart, Huang Xu couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

Ku Xuan: "A hundred years of life, an autumn of grass and trees, the laws of nature, hundreds of millions of living beings in the world, how many people can live a long life?" When the army entered the basin that year, Mr. Jiang sent a plane to pick him up in City C and take him to Treasure Island. When it was time to get on the plane, Fang Wei suddenly changed his mind, saying that he couldn't bear to abandon his brother Paoze, so he resolutely gave up the opportunity to escape and led his troops to retreat south. Later, he died in battle by the Lushui River. That was 70 years ago, and time flies! ”

Speaking of this, Ku Xuan, who had been smiling, suddenly felt lonely on his face: "The west wind is still shining, the Han family mausoleum, the times are changing, how can it compare with time?" ”

With that, he closed his eyes and said no more.

Huang Xu didn't want to be disturbed, stood up, bowed to Ku Xuan, and retreated silently.

Walking out of Xuanzhen Palace, Huang Xu sighed in his heart and felt a big headache. Fang Wei is really dead, it seems that he can't finish this hidden task he opened, he has to hurry up and get some experience points, so as not to be wiped out by the system.

Fortunately, in two days, it will be time for the dimensional space to gather the vitality of the mountains and rivers again. If it is all used for planting, it can make up for the loss of two million experience.

Just as he was shaking his head, suddenly, the tall Taoist Tang Dayong hurriedly walked out, shouting as he walked: "Mr. Huang, please wait." ”

Huang Xu: "What else does Daochang Tang have to say?" ”

Tang Dayong: "Shizun has another sentence and something to bring to Mr. ”

Huang Xu: "Please give me orders." ”

Tang Dayong said: "Master said, Mr. Huang has a relationship with my Daomen, and he seems to be quite interested in things like supernatural powers and ghosts. In fact, this kind of thing pays attention to the fate of the law, and should not be pursued excessively, after all, it is not a great road. ”

Huang Xu smiled: "I don't want to become an immortal immortal, it doesn't matter if it's not right, I don't care too much." ”

"Here's it for you." Tang Dayong stuffed something into Huang Xu's hand: "This is a letter from Mr. Fang Wei to Shizun before he died in battle, and Shizun asked him to send it to you." ”

Huang Xu took it and took a look, the envelope was written with six big characters "Kuxuan Dao Chang Qin Qi", the standard Song Huizong thin gold body, silver hook and iron stroke, very beautiful.

"Thank you, Chief, and please pay your respects. In the future, if there is an opportunity, Huang Xu will also visit his home and listen to the teachings. ”

Tang Dayong shook his head: "I'm afraid that Mr. Huang will never see his master again." ”

Huang Xuqi said: "Why? ”

Tang Dayong: "The master said that he is about to become a feather and ascend to the truth, which is a matter of this period of time." "Feather Return, or Feather Return, is a Taoist term, which means to die, to pass away, to pass away.

"Ahh Huang Xu's heart sank, and then he became sad again: "Bitter Xuan Immortal really said that? ”

"Yes, Shizun has already figured it out." Tang Da said with a smile: "Master said, the four seasons change, and the cycle of life and death is the way of heaven, so there is no need to be sad." ”

After saying that, he drifted away.
