Chapter 994: The most primitive existence
People feel extremely tired, and they want to sleep well, which is the result of overdraft.
Brothers and sisters who feel this way, don't stand up, no matter how important a business is waiting for you. Be sure to persevere, find a comfortable bed, and get some sleep.
I was on the back of a guy and just fell asleep.
When I woke up, I opened my eyes and saw a clear starry sky.
It's been a long time since I've seen so many stars, and on the days of Motuo, it's mostly cloudy and rainy, with a few days of sunny weather.
Tonight, it was very sunny and starry, and I saw a sky full of stars, the Milky Way.
Taking a deep breath of air mixed with the smell of barbecue, I turned my head.
I saw Bai Zhi's sister, who was observing me with her boyfriend.
"Are you awake?"
"Hmm."
I nodded, and Zou Fan handed me a kettle. I took it, raised my head and took a sip, a strong smell of medicine.
However, the fine tasting and light fragrance are good.
Drink it all in one go.
Let's have some barbecue.
Bai Zhi took a knife and cut two slices of barbecue meat for me.
I took it and put it in my mouth, and soon the rich aroma of meat filled my mouth.
The taste is amazing.
In one breath, filling my stomach, I looked at the couple and said, "Uncle Fan and your teacher?" What about the others? “
Bai Zhi stretched out his hand: "Oh, let's look at Beidou." ”
I looked in the direction of Bai Zhi's finger, not far away, on a lying cow stone, Lao Fan'er, Guanfeng, Banxian'er, Liu Sheng, and other people were sitting there, looking at the northern starry sky.
I walked over.
Old Fan looked at me and said, "Are you awake?" ”
I nodded and asked again, "Did you carry me just now?" ”
Lao Fan'er shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have that much strength to carry you, you let the seniors of the South China Sea carry it all the way." ”
I looked at the Medicine King in amazement.
The Medicine King smiled and said: "I entered the Tao relatively early, for so many years, I have persevered, although it is not so that the physical body is eternal, but I can exchange it for one, die with dignity, and die without illness." ”
I nodded, thumbs up.
The King of Medicine is talking about a realm of Taoist health preservation.
For example, Jindan Avenue, many may seek an immortality. As everyone knows, in this world, there is no immortal person at all.
After all, people are going to die.
But the key is to see how people die.
Some people suffer from illness and have been battling illness all their lives, and then at the age of seventy or eighty, they finally give up and return to the West.
There are also people who have encountered tragic disasters and N ways to die.
Taoism, what is it to pursue? Pay attention to one, and end up without a problem.
I'll give you an example, according to Daoye, his master lived to be more than one hundred and twenty years old. A month before he died, his master could still play with a seventy or eighty pound stone lock in his hands.
Then, three days before he died, tell everyone when he will leave. Let people prepare things.
After everything is done, explain the aftermath and meditate. Then, when the time came, I looked, and sure enough, the fairy went.
Cultivators seek eternal life, but this physical body does not last forever.
It is the spirit, the consciousness, that is immortal. It is to combine the consciousness of the self, the self, and the true self. So as to achieve the goal of getting out of samsara.
Yes, although the predecessors of the medicine king, may be eighty or ninety years old. But his body is still as strong as a man in the prime of life.
Similarly, his longevity is limited.
When it comes to the end of life, it will go the same way......
I saw everyone around me looking at the Big Dipper.
So I asked Lao Fan'er: "Why are you here, why do you look at Beidou?" ”
Old Fan smiled.
At this time, the medicine king said slowly: "Taoist weathering has a long history, and the most important of them is the Big Dipper. However, the legend of these seven stars is that there are nine stars. It's just that there are two stars left, and they have been hidden for a long time. ”
At this time, I smiled and said, "If someone sees those two stars, they can live forever." ”
The Medicine King laughed and said, "Beidou's real secret is not like this. It's about the soul's destination, the source. However, one thing I can say is that the Beidou is seven stars. Taoism is even more respectful of seven, not nine. Nine is just a manifestation of mathematics, which represents the greatest number, and also represents that the evolution of things has reached a peak. But seven is different, and seven is more of a spiritual worship than the art of numbers. ”
At this time, Guan Feng intervened in the discussion group.
"This Western study has that God created the world in seven days, a week, plus Saturday and Sunday, for a total of seven days. In short, this seven has fascinated many scholars in the West. ”
Yaowang continued: "Yes, Taoism, to say that it is a religion, is to say that it is a collection of the oldest primitive culture in China. But alas...... It's a pity ......"
The king of medicine said two pities in a row.
Banxian'er interjected: "Isn't it, the invasion of Buddhism has harmed the essence of Taoism in my Great China?" ”
The Medicine King shook his head: "This is not a Buddhist business, in fact, it is Confucianism that really harms Taoism." Especially some, fools! ”
I couldn't agree more.
Confucianist! It was the favorite doctrine of the ancient Chinese emperors.
Why? Because it is a very effective tool of rule, which can rule the people, solidify the mind, and let the common people develop in the mode of thought that he prescribes. Jump out of this box, no need for sanctions, because you yourself, unwilling to integrate with the mainstream society, will naturally be eliminated.
But again, Confucianism itself is not harmful. On the contrary, its theories and ideas of life can cultivate people's heroic and righteous spirit.
Sadly, it's still imperial!
The idea of Taoism, and just like Lao Tzu, is as negative as we think.
In fact, Taoism is actually very wise, free, and full of unyielding spirit of independent struggle.
It's just that the same sentence, the emperor is great, and with the emperor, no stronger existence than him is allowed. As a result, Taoism, which can only rely on its means of exorcising gods and ghosts, has been silently spreading among the people.
This is a tragedy for the Tao.
The decline of the Tao is not that it is not strong enough, but that it lacks a correct understanding first, and second, it lacks an effective inheritance and expansion.
Everyone watched Beidou and talked about Buddhism and Taoism for a while, and then talked about modern science and civilization for a while.
For a while, I felt that I couldn't get enough of it.
At this time, Lao Fan'er raised his wrist and looked at the following table: "It's not too early, let's rest, tomorrow, we have to continue to hurry." ”
Rest for the night.
The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, we set off.
All the way, all the way.
I walked for most of the day, at 16 o'clock in the afternoon.
Came to the legendary cliff village.
When I saw Yacun, I finally understood why the new life people would go out of their way to let me lead the way.
Because, this place, if you don't have army-level heavy firepower, you really can't conquer it.
In front of me were two large waterfalls, and in the middle of the waterfalls, stood a lonely cliff.
The height of the cliff is probably more than 100 meters. On the cliff, around the cliff, a circle of plank roads was built, and then a circle of plank roads.
At the top of the cliff, there are more than 20 natural buildings carved out of the mountain rock.
The waterfall is so turbulent that people can't cross it at all, and the only passage is at the waterfall on the east side. Because the cliff is less than 20 meters from the shore, a large suspension bridge was built there.
The style of the bridge, if the ancient moat of the kind of suspension bridge. It's just that, due to the remoteness of this place, the workmanship is far less meticulous, probably just some wood, pieced together, nailed into the shape of a bridge, and when the work is done, the two ends are hung up with iron chains.
The building in front of me made me feel a sense of time travel in my heart, and for a while, it was as if I had traveled to some mythical secret place.
Yacun, sure enough, is a natural risk. But who are the people who live in it?
Speculating, the Medicine King had already led the way in front and led us around to the end of the suspension bridge.
Walked for half an hour.
The moment I came to the bridge, I froze.
There were three people standing at the head of the bridge, and they seemed to be welcoming people.
But that's not the most important thing, it's important.
I know them.
Who are they, of course, my good brother Khamba!
They stood there, their tall bodies like iron towers, unmoving.
I watched, my heart moved, I let out a low roar, pulled out the Tibetan knife, and pounced.
The three of them, also roaring, pulled out the hidden knives on their bodies.
The four of us, right in front of the suspension bridge, fought a knife fight.
Fight, fight.
They each laughed again and put away their knives.
Jamppa, Dorje, Pasang!
The three Tibetan brothers punched me in the shoulder and then greeted me in Tibetan.
I racked my brain, thought of a few Tibetan words I had learned, and told them that I was fine.
At this time, the medicine king and Lao Fan'er came.
After a conversation with the three brothers, the medicine king turned to me and said, "Let's go, their master, is waiting for us up there." ”
A group of people, under the leadership of three Tibetan brothers, walked on the creaking broken suspension bridge, and then walked on the plank road without handrails, all the way twists and turns, circling, lasted more than half an hour, we finally came to the Ya Village.
This village is really peculiar.
It feels like a whole piece of big rock has been carved out of dozens of buildings.
pattern, there are stones everywhere, and in addition, the people who live in it are all purple-faced Menba people.
We seem to be more popular.
On both sides of the road, there were quite a few clansmen standing there, staring at us with the eyes of aliens.
That's it, all the way.
Finally, we came to a temple with beautiful carvings.
At this time, the Medicine King stopped and said to me, "Xiao Ji, this should be the last primordial temple of the Bon Sect. ”
I don't understand.
Yao Wang said: "This place in Tibet, before the introduction of Buddhism, has always been the world of Bon. Later, after the introduction of Buddhism, Bon has been in fierce conflict with Buddhism, and eventually, after evolution, this has formed today's Tibetan Buddhism. This one is somewhat like the Chinese Buddhism of our Han people. Han Buddhism, strictly speaking, is no longer the original form of Buddhism. I won't talk too much about religion about this. ”
Speaking of this, the medicine king sighed: "And here, it is the last piece of the Tibetan region, the temple that retains the most primitive Bon style, let's go in and have a look." ”
Got closer.
Brother Dorje, help me open the door.
The moment the door opened, I saw a little girl I knew with a smile on her face, sitting inside.
She is the little witch.
