Chapter 35: The Gods
Hearing the three words of "Duren Sutra", the conceited and erudite Pei Xi became interested and asked with great interest: "Who wrote this scripture?" What is the school? What is the justification for the statement? β
Sun Daochang laughed dryly, subconsciously raised his head, and said proudly: "This sutra is written by the immortal master of the Lingbao Sect, affirming the principle of the Great Brahman. γγβ
Pei Xi is such an erudite person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that the word "Lingbao" came from the "Taiping Sutra", which means "the gods are precious", and his expression was a little unfathomable: "If it weren't for what the Taoist chief said himself, I wouldn't have known that the origin of Your Excellency's sect actually came from the Taiping Dao." β
With such a big hat buttoned down, Sun Daochang was so frightened that his face was pale.
Among Taoism, there are many sects and sects, but Tai half takes the family route, which shines with metaphysics, and is extremely popular in high-ranking households. As for the poor people, most of them believe in the Five Bucket Rice Religion and the Taiping Dao. It's just that the Wudou Rice Sect, just like its alias "Zhengyi", attaches great importance to Jiao rituals, advocates etiquette, and is ...... To put it bluntly, if any rebellion involving Taoist believers is involved, eight out of ten cases must be counted on the Taiping Dao.
Even if the Taoist priest of the Wudoumi Sect is not called a high status, he can enter the house at best, but the heirs of the Taiping Dao can only sneakily hide in the shadows, once his whereabouts are exposed, basically the whole family is imprisoned as a thief, lucky to squat for a lifetime, bad luck to the head to the ground, almost no third end.
There is no fault in the scriptures, but because of the actions of several generations, it has led to a completely different status today.
"Make Jun Mingjian, make Jun Mingjian......" Sun Daochang trembled like chaff and said tremblingly, "The name of the Lingbao faction was made up by Xiao Lao'er, and there is no such Taoist sect at all." In order to swagger and deceive, he had to pull a tiger skin to make a big banner, pick a good-sounding name with a long meaning, and make up an ethereal predecessor to support the scene, how did he know that he would be regarded as a thief?
Qin Wan looked at Pei Xi in admiration and silently clenched his little fists.
The envoy really knows a lot more than her, so what is the peace way, Aya has never sued her.
Qin Wan has always been convinced of his father's knowledge, so he naturally doesn't think that Qin Ke doesn't know anything about the Taiping Sutra, so it can only be that he thinks that this thing is not suitable for his daughter to learn, and he doesn't mean to teach her at all.
It doesn't matter, Aya doesn't teach, Pei Yuanjun will definitely teach it!
In just a few months of getting along, Qin Wan has figured out Pei Xi's temperament - this young man's proud Langjun is a person who is most affectionate and pure. Because of purity and extremism, cynical because of the use of relatives, if you are good to him, he will feel uncomfortable and pay it back a hundred times. It's a pity that most of the people who stick to the world's eyes and think that he is too shocking are the majority, and there are not a few people who want to benefit from him, but he is also a very smart person, so he is dedicated to going to the extreme.
Qin Wan didn't try to plot against Pei Xi anything, at most he pestered him, asking him to read some poems and books to himself, tell the stories that happened in Chang'an, and talk about the ancients.
Aya talks about things, always on the good side, in Aye's eyes, everyone has hardships, and flowers are everywhere; But in Pei Xi's mouth, everyone is scheming, and the sky is full of bitter wind and rain.
It's obviously the same story, but there are two completely different explanations in the mouths of two people, how interesting.
Knowing that Pei Xi would never do useless work, Qin Wan's eyes widened even more, looking at Sun Daochang curiously, wanting to hear what he could make up.
Sun Daochang has been in the rivers and lakes, black and white, and he has also experienced the most turbulent times, and he has been crawling and rolling for fifty years, and he has come back with all his beards and tails, and he is naturally a little anxious. He was buttoned by Pei Xi's big hat, knowing that now his life is hanging by a thread, and if he doesn't do it well, he will become a thief, and his speech is no longer trembling before, and he is unprecedentedly clear, only to hear him say slowly: "The Three Realms are the Desire Realm, the Color Realm, and the Colorless Realm." Desire, words have **, handover Suiyang, and the people are born. β
In just one sentence, Pei Xi listened, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "This statement is slightly similar to the Mahayana teachings that have been popular in the Western Regions recently. β
Sun Daochang's heart was cold, and he didn't dare to make a time, and continued: "There are six days in the desire realm, and the first two days are still rough, and the fruit is still rough, still based on height, and the second two days are for holding hands. On the fifth day, the mouth is desired, and on the sixth day, the eyes are desired...... The clouds are thirty-two days, and they are located in the four directions, and there are eight days on the side, which is thirty-two days. There is also the so-called "three days on the top of the Luo, above the big Luo, and all empty, there are five natural glows, its color is pale and yellow, called the yellow sky, above the yellow sky, its color is green, the number is called the sky, above the sky, where the Xuankong, the emptiness into green, called the blue sky." β
Pei Xi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Pick the key points." β
Sun Daochang couldn't figure out Pei Xi's thoughts, and seeing that he didn't seem to be bored, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Then save the suffering immortals, in the Daluo sky." Jiuqi Ziwei Heavenly Palace. Shang Bai Daojun said. Rally three. Heaven and Earth Water Officer. The saints of the Three Realms and the Four Mansions. The examination division talked about the scriptures with the immortals. Rescue all beings. Amplify the light. Shine on the land of all the countries and nine states under heaven. Rivers, lakes and seas are in the middle of the Yanfu world! β
Qin Wan gasped and looked at this old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but he looked a little cowering because of fear, he didn't expect him to be able to make such earth-shattering words. Pei Xi glanced at Sun Daochang deeply, and said coldly: "The Purple Palace has been submerged for eight hundred years, and the world is the only sage, but you are bold, and you can pierce the sky with one mouth." β
This nondescript sentence does not reflect Pei Xi's graceful words at all, Sun Daochang didn't understand it, but Qin Wan did.
In ancient times, witches, doctors, histories, and sacrifices were not separated, and people sang the praises of the gods, offering the best vegetables, fruits, lambs, and even the most beautiful women to the heavens.
Just as people have three, six, nine and so on, the gods naturally have high and low skills, and each clan has different gods due to their own beliefs, but one thing is recognized - no matter which tribe, whether it is alliance or hostile, whether it is Chu or Qin, they all worship the same supreme god.
Eastern Emperor, Taiyi.
Because the star symbolizing the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is located outside the gate of the Purple Palace, it can occasionally be called the "Purple Palace".
The status of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has been respected for thousands of years, but with the unification of the dynasty and the rise of various academics, especially Confucian scholarship, the rulers of successive dynasties have invariably weakened the status of the gods, especially the supreme gods, and elevated the status of the three emperors and the five emperors and the most holy master Confucius. Over time, the people did not know the gods, but only the saints.
Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are excluded from orthodoxy, except that they come from foreign lands, and there is really no reason why they believe in the true God? "The Yellow Court Sutra" and "The Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra" can be handed down, is it possible that they only teach cultivation methods, and do not mention many heavenly gods, at least they do not raise them too high? Now Sun Daochang closed his mouth one by one, and directly told the people that there are gods in the three feet above their heads, and there are gods to judge right and wrong. So, what is heaven and what is sacred? Could it be that the deeds of saints can still be judged by the grass people, just because of the "existence of the gods"?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan looked at Pei Xi anxiously, but the latter thought for a moment and said slowly: "Fang Cai's words, you keep them in mind, tell me everything related to them, and let's make a charter." As for the previous ...... You can still see the light, what you think, just repeat it in an orderly manner. β
When Qin Wan heard this, he became even more anxious: "Pei Yuanjun-"
Pei Xi didn't pay attention to Qin Wan at all, just looked at Sun Daochang and smiled faintly: "You are very unwilling, right?" β
"Back to the envoy, little ......"
"Don't play the game of pretending to be modest in front of me." Pei Xi waved his hand and stared at Sun Daochang.
His gaze is not as sharp as the blade before, but like a clear spring, calm, but it gives people an elusive and even bottomless feeling. Blinking slightly, I suspect that I was feeling wrong. I just heard him say slowly, "Even if you are in a hurry, it is difficult to say it so methodically, whether it is the Lingbao Sect or the Sutra of Salvation, you have been thinking about it for a long time, right?" β
Sun Daochang was so red that he was silent for a long time, and then Fang said astringently: "Not bad! β
Although he was born in a wild road and has never received a day of formal education, he has been self-taught over the years, and he has mixed the essence of Taoism from all over the world, and even the prayers and wishes of the people, and summarized them one by one, originally to prepare for fooling people. But over time, he suddenly felt that he was ...... Not worse than those.
What he lacks is not experience, not insight, and not ability, but just outstanding literary brilliance and great fame.
Pei Xi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "The scriptures of the Lingbao Sect, I will write them." β
"Envoyβ"
"Pei Envoy-kun?"
"That's it." Pei Xi made a "please" gesture to Sun Daochang, and repeated his meaning again, "You silently express your thoughts, and I will write this scripture." β
Word by word, to the point.
Sun Daochang was taken by his momentum, he was speechless, and left with Pei Xian indifferently, never imagined that his wish would be fulfilled in such a place and in such a situation.
Qin Wan endured until Sun Daochang left, and said hurriedly: "Pei Yuanjun, this is ...... This ...... "She couldn't understand at all why Pei Xi wanted to participate in this kind of thing that would obviously offend the saint.
Pei Xi looked at her for a long time, and actually raised a smile, Qin Wan was so angry that he stomped his feet, and held back for a long time before he was deflated and said, "Why! β
"The best pediatric doctor and Wen Po in Yuzhang County all said that Shen Niangzi's birth must be a boy."
Qin Wan subconsciously responded, and his expression became depressed: "They also said that A-Niang's body is too bad, her mind is depressed, and she doesn't take good care of it, even if her younger brother is born, he may not be able to keep it." β
Pei Xi even concealed this matter from Qin Ke, and only let the doctor Shen Man's fetus be dangerous, half and half, and did not say that the situation was so strict. But he has never taken the usual path, not to tell the king, but to the young Qin Wan, so Qin Wan raised his head, looked at Pei Xi, and wondered: "Didn't you say it?" Sun Daochang was originally going to use it, he just needed to find an opportunity to put him next to Aya, and now Aya and A-Niang need to resolve the troubles and hope for the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but ......, "But what does this have to do with your actions!"
Pei Xi paced to the door, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, and he was out of his mind.
Qin Wan saw that he seemed to have a lot of troubles, so he didn't bother, just waited quietly. After a long time, Pei Xi whispered, "You wait!" In less than three years, you will be able to return to Chang'an! β
