Volume 2 The Northland Dragon Chapter 27 Xuandu Enlightenment Returns to Truth
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, Guo Hong and the princess's wife have become very familiar and get along very well.
He is good at observing words and feelings, and often makes Princess Xunyang laugh.
Other people live in the inn opposite the Jinxian Temple, and there are often many high-ranking officials from Chang'an who come to visit the temple, and the inn is built for them, and there are all kinds of restaurants and stables inside.
Guo Hongde was taken care of by the princess, and he came and went freely in the view, and often went to see Yun Xuansu and others.
Lu Zhizhen promised Li Feizhen to monitor Qinglong Temple, so Cao Shouzhen entered Chang'an.
Cao Shouzhen: Why didn't you go when you promised yourself, but I went?
Lu Zhizhen: Senior brother has something.
Cao Shouzhen: Cut ...... It's not that Senior Sister Yun doesn't move, so you won't move......
This morning, Guo Hong slipped out and saw Yun Xuansu and a few people drinking in the restaurant from a distance, he went up and said, "Senior Sister Yun, when will you enter Chang'an and bring that girl out?" ”
"How...... Think, miss a little lover? Lu Zhizhen quipped, he drank too much, his face was red, and his speech was a little verbose.
"I haven't seen it yet." Guo Hong shook his head and said.
"You two...... Two, each with a part of the mystery, want me to say that...... That girl must have a yin in her body...... Yin, you are yang here...... Yangbi is originally a pair, so this is called a heavenly ...... Sky...... Marriage made in heaven. ”
"Senior Brother Lu, don't tease the stove anymore, he's still a chick." Yun Xuansu said with a smile.
"There are many people in this world who have been determined to ...... since childhood is married, but the two of them are determined by God...... Definitely, we Taoists talk about going with the flow...... Naturally, this is self-...... Nature! Lu Zhizhen suddenly asked He Qiong: "Senior Sister He, what do you think?" ”
"What does it have to do with me? If it is really fate, no one can stop it, and there are three wives and four concubines in this world, and he will marry them all if he has the ability! ”
It turned out that women in the Tang Dynasty could not show jealousy, otherwise it would be difficult to marry.
But He Qiong spoke a little hurriedly, her mouth pursed slightly, and she had inadvertently revealed her inner thoughts: she didn't like to share her favorite people with other women at all!
Lu Zhizhen was already a little confused, remembering that one was one and the other, and asked, "Cloud ...... Senior Sister Yun, yesterday you said that you asked someone to keep an eye on ...... Staring at Qinglong Temple, I don't know if it can be ...... now Any news? ”
Yun Xuansu replied: "A few days ago, I visited my husband's cousin Wang Duo, he is the supervisor of the imperial history, and now he happened to send the errand of the imperial history of the city to inspect the prevention and control of Chang'an City, there are many ears and eyes, and the people under him will report the movements of the Qinglong Temple to me every day, and Yizhen has not appeared until today." ”
Lu Zhizhen stood up and staggered to Guo Hong's side, sat down in front of him and said, "Even a pig has crawled back after so many days, Senior Brother Guo, you ...... What's going on, you say? ”
Guo Hong looked at Lu Zhizhen and said in a deep voice: "The drunk pig went to Guanghan Palace to find ...... I'm looking for Sister Chang'e. ””
At noon, Cao Shouzhen arrived.
He received a message from Yun Xuansu and came back from Chang'an.
It is not easy to rent a house in Chang'an City, especially if he only lives for a few days, so he temporarily stays in the inn in the square near the East City, which is a little far away from the Qinglong Temple, and it is very inconvenient to go back and forth.
And there are all merchants, it is too noisy, the place is very small, and the rent is expensive, so Yun Xuansu asked his cousin Wang Duo to help, in order to replace him......
************
The two young and beautiful female crowns got out of the car, and in front of them was the Yuzhen Temple of Fuxingfang.
"It's Senior Sister Jiao and Senior Sister Luo who are here!"
Yuzhen view and Chang'an Jinxian view opposite, Kaiyuan period Wei Shu "Liangjing Xinji" volume three years: "two view of the gatehouse Qixie, towering to the thoroughfare, the West Tuyi Xia from afar to the people, into the city to look at the distance, like the sky. ”
The east of Fuxing Fang is the Yeting Palace, the Yuzhen Temple is in the southwest of the Fang, and the Jinxian Temple is in the southeast, all facing the Tonghua Gate and the Kaiyuan Gate Hengjie.
The gatehouse pavilion of the two views is also as tall as the Luoyang Anguo Temple, like two hills, which can be seen from the place where the west city wall opens the far gate into the city.
Jiao Fengming looked up, and saw that it was Sun Zhizhen, the senior sister of the sect, who was greeting, so he hurriedly saluted.
Yuzhen is divided into three branches, Wangwu and Luoyang are hostile to each other, and Chang'an is a source of left and right, no one can be offended, and the relationship with both sides is very good.
"Senior sister is going to stay a few more days this time!" Senior Sister Sun said with a smile, she used to go to Luoyang with her master and had a good conversation with Jiao Fengming.
Jiao Fengming was the first time to Chang'an, and when he saw that his senior sister was so enthusiastic, he said: "This is natural, we want to spend half a month, visit the relics left by the ancestor of Yuzhen, and then enter the end of Nanshan to visit the Tao!" During this time, I will disturb my uncle and sister. ”
"It's the best, it's rare to come to Chang'an, it's not far from Xishi, go back and go back to play with you, go, I'll take you to see Master."
************
That night, Guo Hong and Li Feizhen sat opposite each other on the third floor of the Golden Immortal Pavilion and chatted.
"Master, when I was a child, I met a stranger and began to practice the "Huang Ting Jing", and at that time, I was able to visualize nine immortals such as Taiyi and Chijing in the Xia Huang Ting, and they were divided into two parts to fight each other, and I also learned the Tao method from them."
When Guo Hong said this, he saw Li Feizhen with a smile on his face, thinking that she was laughing at herself, so he stopped talking.
When the princess noticed this, she said, "Don't guess, I don't laugh at you, just keep talking." ”
Guo Hong scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, fortunately the night was dark, presumably the other party didn't have such a good look to see his expression.
He paused for a moment before continuing: "Later, my master pointed out that it was actually the two qi of yin and yang, and told me to eliminate distracting thoughts, so according to the cultivation he said, I really couldn't see these boys gradually, but my cultivation was not as rapid as it was at the beginning, and I still didn't move in place for two years. Later, he fought against Yizhen and got two poems: Tempered into the atrium, stepping on the altar to gather on the spiritual platform. Recently, my internal strength has increased, but I always feel that I haven't broken any barriers, and I still don't have a clue about the next step in cultivation. ”
Li Feizhen nodded lightly and said, "What your master said is naturally not wrong, but he only started to cultivate the Huang Ting Jing when he became an adult, of course he won't think nonsense, and his teaching to people over fifteen years old is naturally good." But you're different! ”
She got up and stretched her body before she said, "Although what your master said is good, it doesn't apply to you. Ever since my child passed away, I have been reminiscing about his childhood, and only later did I understand that the world in a child's eyes is different from that of an adult! So what you're seeing isn't necessarily fake. Moreover, you said that in the ancient temple, you could see Xuanyuan Ji attacking the light dragon with the Xuanyuan Sword, which is actually something that can only be seen after the people of the Jiedan Dao open their divine sense. ”
Guo Hong: "Then why can I see it?" ”
"You may have been in a restless state at the time, so you could see the vision of the Xuanyuan Sword. After the knot, the Taoist began to officially enter the door of cultivation, pursuing his own Dao, and when he became a Yuanying, he was called Dao attainment. All kinds of children and immortals in "Huang Ting Jing" are all transformed by the essence of the human body's internal organs, and only the divine consciousness can see it. And according to other internal skills, if you cultivate normally to the realm of the Dan, you have already condensed and absorbed all these essences into the Inner Dan, so your master will not be able to see the vision of the immortals in his life. ”
Guo Hong thought that he was traversing, and the soul might not have fully fused with his body in the first year, so it made sense to see the vision during his cultivation.
In other words, because his soul is foreign, he can only see the dragon sword battle that the knotster perceives with his divine sense in the ancient temple.
After a year, the soul merged with the body, and the vision of the gods disappeared completely.
"So the Huang Ting Sutra I practiced seems to be different from the Inner Dan Mind Method?"
"Yes, the two sets of methods are just the opposite, Huang Tingjing is to visualize the viscera gods, which can be said to be full of immortals, and Neidan is to unify all the essence in the dantian. If one is the division of the kingdoms, then the other is the unity of the world. ”
In this way, if the "Huang Ting Sutra" is cultivated to the level equivalent to the realm of the Dan, you will be able to see the immortals again.
Guo Hong listened to his wife's words, as if a gate suddenly opened in front of him, making him suddenly enlightened!
Li Feizhen got up and said, "You come with me!" ”
Guo Hong followed her downstairs out of the Meridian Golden Immortal Temple and came to the stone pillar behind.
The princess motioned for the accompanying female crown to stay, and she took Guo Hong to climb the mountain with a lantern.
They came to the top of the stone pillar, where the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the night breeze was refreshing.
Princess Xunyang said: "This is the Xuandu Altar, the place where the ancient emperor sacrificed to the sky, Zhao Guizhen had practiced the fire master here, and he made great achievements. You can meditate and get something. ”
Guo Hong sat cross-legged in the altar, closed his eyes and looked inward, Xuanbi slowly turned, and the arc above crackled and flickered.
"Zhao Guizhen, the fire master's legacy...... Huang Tingjing...... Back to basics! I see! My truth is different from Master's, only the truth that belongs to oneself is 'true'! Neidan has the truth of Neidan, and Huangting has the truth of Huangting, each is different! ”
His heart seemed to be wiped by the water of the green spirit, and it was clear.
The night is rich, the frogs in the mountains are chirping, the summer moon is in the sky, and the galaxy is vast.
He began to slowly comb through what he had learned.
This is a night's sitting.
The dawn of the day, the morning dew was faint, Guo Hong's body was full of qi, and he unknowingly entered the realm of "Mr.", which is equivalent to Yudan!
This is innate, and the Tao is natural!
There is not one in a thousand Taoists in the world who can achieve this.
This night's practice broke through the barrier of the Lower Yellow Court that had plagued him for a long time, and began to enter the Middle Yellow Court.
In the past two years, the Lower Yellow Court has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has expanded dozens of times, and the spiritual root is towering to the sky, which is even more magnificent than before.
At the moment of Guo Hong's breakthrough, the sky of Xia Huangting appeared, colorful, Xuanqi turned, and there were bursts of fairy music, as if some villains were playing and singing.
There are countless clumsy lines on the surface of Xuanbi, although Guo Hong doesn't know it, but he knows inexplicably that it is the word "Dao" in his heart!
There is a strange change in the making.
Guo Hong is looking forward to it.
What tricks will come up this time?
Then a mantra appeared on Xuanbi, called "Stepping on the Gangbu Fight"!
The mind is divided into nine steps, corresponding to the nine stars of the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper is composed of the Big Dipper and the left and the right, the Song Dynasty used the Big Dipper as the nine stars, and then the two stars gradually faded away, becoming the trend of "seven present and two hidden", and it gradually spread as the Big Dipper.
So if there is a Tiangang Beidou Array, it should also be nine people......
Guo Hong's first step is to cultivate the Spleen Mansion Chicheng Boy, located in Tianshu, named Greedy Wolf!
It's the spleen again!
In this way, there are already three immortals in the Spleen Palace, namely the Soul Stop Jun of "The Spleen God is often in the word Soul Stop", the Xia Huangting Huang Laojun of the "Spleen God Mixed Health Word Spirit Source", and the new Akagi boy.
The spleen mansion and the second Huang Ting in the middle can be said to be an important part of the cultivation of the "Huang Ting Sutra".
The name of the boy in Chicheng is Huang Tong, the word Zidan, and the number is Huang Ting Zhenren.
Guo Hong practiced according to the mantra, and his inner vision of the spleen was clean and leakless, and gradually became complete.
Listening to the senior brothers, the master was originally a Taoist priest of the Heavenly Master, and was later accepted as a closed disciple by Patriarch Tian, presumably because he entered the Shangqing Sect to get the true transmission of the "Huang Ting Jing".
He didn't know what he would encounter when he cultivated the "Huang Ting Jing" at a young age, and he also encountered a person like Guo Hong whose body and soul could not be compatible, how could he prescribe the right medicine?
Guo Hong didn't complain about the master, Liu Yuanjing carefully taught his own opinions, which was good, but he took it for granted.
At this time, he understood a truth, that is, do not be superstitious about authority.
Master has not experienced it, and even if he deduces it from experience, it is a thousand miles wrong.
"After all, it's still different from the beginning, but it's not bad, the current return to truth is attributed to me at the age of fifteen, not at the age of twelve, which will naturally be very different!"
Recovering the world of Huangting is the biggest reward!
Only those who have lost can be cherished.
Guo Hongwu understood the joints, his heart was smooth, and he was shocked under the traction of the qi machine, and woke up from his meditation.
"Congratulations to Daoyou for your great progress! Shangzao, I call you a Taoist friend, because you have officially entered the path of cultivation from today. There are many martial artists in the world, and there are only two or three hundred people who can really enter this stage. Princess Xunyang said with a smile, she actually kept watch by her side all night.
"Thank you, Master, for protecting the Dharma!" Guo Hong returned the salute, and his one-night cultivation made his "Huang Ting Jing" internal strength improve by leaps and bounds, and he entered the second big level, and the degree of purity alone was no longer inferior to the master of the second level.
He let go of his spiritual sense, and the sensing range seemed to be much larger than before, and there seemed to be some unknown charm around him.
This is Divine Consciousness!
Li Feizhen glanced at Guo Hong again at this time, only to feel that this child was like being in a fog, and he actually made himself a little unrelievable......
************
The next day, Yun Xuansu came to Guo Hong, she got new news, Yizhen appeared!
"Are you saying that this monk is back, sure?" Guo Hongdao.
Yun Xuansu replied: "He was originally a famous monk of Qinglong Temple, and the local people know him, so he can't be wrong!" ”
Guo Hong nodded secretly, sure enough, Senior Sister Yun has a way, if they go to stare at it, they will inevitably be noticed by the other party because of the face, this matter is best done by Wang Duo, Xinchangfang, where the Qinglong Temple is located, is on the inside of Yanxing Gate, and the imperial history of the city patrol will often send people to inspect, and the investigation and stalking can be silent, and it will not startle the snake.
"It's just a strange thing, his arms are not broken, they are no different from ordinary people, and he seems to be in good spirits, not like he has been seriously injured."
Lu Zhizhen said: "Maybe it's the strange kung fu of the Demon Sect, I don't know who I have harmed!" ”
"What now?" Cao Shouzhen asked.
Everyone is a little difficult, if they come to the door to get people with great fanfare, first, there is no warrant from the government to arrest people, and second, they are afraid that when they arrive at the temple, the other party will get the news and slip from behind, and the soldiers patrolling the city street are not opponents at all, so Wang Duo can't count on it.
"Keep staring and wait for him to go out and be alone!" Guo Hongdao.
Lu Zhizhen and the others were already more convinced of him because Guo Hong accurately predicted Yizhen's whereabouts, so the matter was decided, and Wang Duo continued to guard it, just waiting for the other party to dispatch.
Yun Xuansu saw that everyone's plan had been decided, so he said to Guo Hong: "Anyway, I want to enter the city, I don't know when the junior brother will have time, and go to see the senior sister Xuanji with the senior sister?" ”
Guo Hong said: "There is nothing to do in the past few days, let's go and see what the situation is first." ”
The main reason for his return to Chang'an was the edict of the Empress Dowager Guo, but this matter has actually passed a long time, and the Empress Dowager passed away on May 16 last year, which has been a year ago, so there is no hurry at this moment.
A year has passed, and Guo Hong is not sure whether Guo Congshi is reliable, but this matter is not good for others, so he can only investigate it slowly.
He actually wanted to go to the city for a long time, but he had been with Li Feizhen for the past two days, and he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to leave, and now Yun Xuansu came forward, which happened to be an excuse.
Although Liu Yuanjing instructed him to beg Li Feizhen to protect the Dharma and seek the mystery again, the young man was still a little proud in his heart and wanted to complete it by himself to show his master and wife.
Or that although he is mature and sociable on the outside, he is actually very afraid of life on the inside.
My wife has only known each other for a few days, so it's best not to ask for help......
Everyone returned to the Golden Immortal Temple, Li Feizhen stayed up all night to catch up on sleep and just woke up, listened to the words of Yun Xuansu and Guo Hong, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am also a little bored here, and I want to go to the palace, so let's go together, and then go separately after entering the city." ”
So Princess Xunyang set off, Guo Hong, Yun Xuansu, Lu Zhizhen and others accompanied as entourage, and entered Chang'an through the Qixia Gate in the easternmost part of the southern city.
Chang'an City was the largest metropolis in the world at this time, with a population of more than 800,000, seven times larger than Constantinople, the largest city in Europe.
However, in Chang'an City, only trading in the east and west markets is allowed, and the southern city is too far away from the market to live inconveniently, so there are few residents.
A large area of land in the southeast of the Lifang is uninhabited, and it is opened up as a hundred gardens and medicine gardens belonging to the palace, and the four rows of Lifang in the south and southwest are the entire farmland, which is vertical and horizontal, and even has tigers infested.
In this way, there is a peculiar phenomenon of the city and the countryside.
Qixiamen Street because it is in the east of Chang'an City, the official name is Luoyang Street, one hundred and thirty-four meters wide, the west is the farmland of Qianmo, at a glance, you can see the scattered farmhouses, and you can also see the westernmost city wall in the distance.
The inner square on the east side of the street has a square wall, which is more than three meters high, and the inside scene cannot be seen from the outside.
Since Tang Xuanzong, the emperor thought that the Taiji Palace in the middle of the imperial city was low-lying, hot and humid, and moved to live in the Daming Palace in the northeast outside Chang'an City.
Therefore, the northeast of Chang'an is the center of the city where the dignitaries live, and the people in the west and south are the majority, and the southwest has simply become a rural area.
Li Feizhen used to enter the city from the easternmost Qixia Gate, and along Luoyang Street all the way to the north, you can reach the Jianfu Gate in the southwest corner of Daming Palace.
Guo Hong was in the same car with the princess's wife and was chatting happily.
Li Feizhen saw that he was very curious about Chang'an, so he introduced the Li Fang along the way one by one, explaining what stories had happened in it and which ancient and modern celebrities had lived.
We can understand the lifang as a gated community in later generations, and they are all rectangular.
Princess Xunyang's motorcade went north through five miles of square and came to Yanxingmen Hengjie at the end of Yongchongfang, which has gradually become lively and has the appearance of a city.
Yanxingmen Hengjie can be said to be the dividing line between urban and rural areas.
