Chapter 33: The Wild Fox Under the Tree Teaches the Tao (II) (for the hall master)

"The Tao is divided into three schools, Confucianism and Taoism. "Zhou Yi" has the saying of exhaustive reason, exhaustion, and fate, while "Analects" has "If you don't move your mind casually, you will definitely return to the source". This statement penetrates the mystery of Kong's life and cultivation of virtue in order to be good, but his words are very simple and not detailed.

"What is the reason for this?"

"The main reason is that Confucianism attaches great importance to morality, benevolence and righteousness, and focuses on the principle of order and human ethics, and the teaching of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and music, so it cannot be all discussed in terms of the realization of non-action cultivation. But Confucianism also hid the art of life cultivation

Within the image of change, the law of cultivation is mixed with the light description. As for Zhuangzi's theory of exhaustive study of material fatigue, human work, and ghost blame, Mencius's theory of cultivating the spirit of Haoran is all true....... Pay attention to the return to the roots, so although the sects in the world are divided into Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, the Tao is classified as its mother.

In the afternoon, the winter sun is in full bloom, and the warm sunlight pours down from overhead and falls on the snow, shimmering with a crystal clear halo.

In the small courtyard, under the peach blossom tree, the two sat opposite each other.

A little white fox like a hairball, squatting on the old roots of a peach tree, shaking its little fluffy head, and opening obsidian-like eyes, seemed to listen intently.

The sunlight unscrupulously passed through the bare branches of the old peach tree and hit Jiang Xiaobai's body under the tree.

The shadow of the tree branch drew a black line on his face, which was obscure and hazy.

Jiang Xiaobai explained to Hatsune word by word the difference between the Taoist Inner Dan Dao contained in the "Prologue to the Enlightenment of Truth" and the cultivation methods of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

He had only said about a fifth of the prologue, then he picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip.

The tea is cold.

"Okay, that's all for you today, you can understand what I just said, if you don't understand, you can ask me. ”

Jiang Xiaobai knows how to stop in moderation, Hatsune doesn't know anything about cultivation, so she can only slowly and gradually, talk about some simple and easy-to-understand cultivation knowledge, and wait for her to understand, and then go from shallow to deep.

After speaking, he took out a green book from his sleeve, sat upright and lowered his head to read it without saying a word.

He turned over a Taoist scripture given to him by Lao Dao a few days ago, called "Taoist Dream of Eternal Life".

In the past few days, he has observed the content of it, which is much more complicated and obscure than ordinary Taoist scriptures, and it took him three or four days to observe the general idea of the three thousand Taoist scriptures since he was a child.

It can be seen that this book is difficult to solve!

Looking at his book, this is a pure "dreaming" method!

A person's dream is a kind of psychological conjecture that arises when a person is in a trance after falling asleep, and it is an unhealthy state.

According to Taoists, it is the moment when the three souls and seven spirits are in a trance, and this kind of moment is the most likely to provoke the invasion of evil spirits.

Looking at this Taoist Sutra, the method of "dreaming" in it is very different from ordinary people's dreaming, and it is very strange and unpredictable.

The "way of the big dream" recorded in this Taoist scripture takes the practice of the wrong door, the sword goes to the front, enters the road with dreams, looks at all things in the world in the dream, and tastes the law of the avenue, which can call the wind and rain, travel the sun and the moon, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and live forever in a dream.

When Jiang Xiaobai first read the prologue of this scripture, he was really taken aback by the strange sophistry of the people who wrote the scriptures.

If you can do this in your dreams, wouldn't you be able to achieve great things in your dreams, which is really too terrifying.

But in the preface to this book, he saw that the man who wrote the book left a passage—

"Sad! The avenue is vast, how can you see it in a dream!"

A simple line of words seems to reveal the helplessness of the person who wrote this book at the beginning, and the hopelessness of his own road.

After seeing this paragraph of this book, Jiang Xiaobai's heart suddenly became like a mirror.

Earlier, when he read the content of the book, it was really surprising and shocking, and he felt that this way was so evil and too terrifying.

But the road to the clear, to the heaven and earth for all things as a dog, a bowl of water flat, this dream of the way is indeed incredible, but after all, can not escape the constraints of the road, although the dream into the road, can observe all things in the dream, peep the avenue, but there is a great defect.

As the writer of the scriptures said, "The great road is so vast that it can be created and observed in a dream?"

Jiang Xiaobai has been preached since he was a child, and he knows that all the way to practice has come out step by step, and this kind of quick method of taking the sword to the edge can make a difference quickly, but it can't achieve the avenue after all.

There is a gap in this road, and the road ahead is broken, so naturally you can't go, and you can't get through.

However, he still admired the Dao attainments of the author of this scripture, and although it was a side-by-side Dao to create this kind of Dao method, it could not be denied that this senior practitioner had the material to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and to participate in the creation.

I just don't know which strange person this cultivation senior is in the surging history, and there is no name left on the book.

Under the peach blossom tree, Jiang Xiaobai quickly got into the mystery of this strange scripture, and seemed to have something in his heart, ignoring other things.

On the other side, Hatsune looked at the master's appearance of concentrating on reading the books, and for some reason, he suddenly became calm, and he also took out the "Enlightenment Chapter" from his sleeve to read, silently remembering the mysterious words and scriptures in it.

The two of them, one teacher and one apprentice, sat quietly in the courtyard, under the peach blossom tree, in the warm winter sun, quietly reading the scriptures, quiet and serene.

Under the tree, the little fox saw that the two of them did not speak, and each read the scriptures, and seemed to be idle, and a few of them stretched out their hairy paws, climbed from Hatsune's trouser leg to her leg, and then grabbed the clothes, and climbed to her shoulder.

Then, like a hairball, he lay on Hatsune's shoulder, and his big black eyes were staring at the book.

Looks curious!

Hatsune saw the little white fox like this, and didn't care about it, just touched its head sideways and smiled, and then quietly looked down at the words on the paper.

The strange thing is that after the little white fox lay on her shoulder, he didn't move, and didn't bother her, just the scripture with dark eyes that kept between Hatsune's fingers.

It's as if I'm reading the scriptures too.

.......................

In this way, the days passed, the winter sun was still there, and the snow did not melt.

In the next few days, Hatsune collected firewood in the morning, and Jiang Xiaobai explained the scriptures and morality to him in the afternoon, under the peach blossom tree.

What's more interesting is that the little fox is always there. Every afternoon under the sun, the little guy lies on Hatsune's shoulder, accompanies her to listen to Jiang Xiaobai's teachings, and watches her recite the Taoist scriptures.

It wasn't until dusk approached that the humming of the fox called outside the courtyard sounded, and the little guy reluctantly left, followed by the two big white foxes, and disappeared into the afternoon sunset, golden light and snow, and the vast mountains and forests.

(The third one is sent, adding a more for the master of Ah Chao Hall, as for the other one, he said that he is not in a hurry.... And you should say, steady, don't wave, it's not good if the wave rolls. )
