Chapter 6 Sima Hui and Zuo Ci on the Tao
Before he had a formal conversation with Sima Hui, through the three small things of farming in the fields, pushing pigs and people, and borrowing silkworms, a moral model image with noble character and great personality was displayed in front of Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci.
What will Sima Hui show next? Gongsun Kang is looking forward to it.
In the thatched house, Sima Hui formally met with Gongsun Kang and Zuo Ci.
Sima Hui had already washed his hands, changed into a robe, combed his hair, and put on a turban. The pine-shaped crane bones are extraordinary, and they look like Confucian scholars. He said, "I have kept you two waiting, and you have neglected two gentlemen, please forgive me." ”
Facing the main master, of course, it was the older Zuo Ci who came forward.
I saw Zuo Ci, who was immortal and strange-looking, and officially came to pay a bow. Said smoothly: "Brother Dao is a true temperament, he does nothing, and he has already tasted it." ”
Sima Hui's ordinary face was slightly moved, and he asked, "Where did Xuanxuanzi Daoyou come from?" ”
Zuo Ci didn't pretend to say: From where he came, he said seriously: "From Tianzhu Mountain."
Sima Hui's eyes leaked a fine light, and he quickly retracted. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see it at all.
He asked again, "What scriptures have you learned?" ”
""Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Liezi", "Zhou Yi", "Wenzi", "Tianzi", "The Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor", "Lao Laizi" all know a little." Zuo Ci didn't seem to want to keep a low profile.
Gongsun Kang was in a hurry, thinking: You are not here to ask for advice, you are here to slap your face and kick the mountain gate! Hurriedly gave Zuo Ci a look.
Zuo Ci pretended not to see it, and still looked like a born master. What a proud person he is, of course he refuses to let Sima Hui finish the coercion alone.
Sima Hui looked wooden and didn't understand Zuo Ci's words. He smiled and said, "Daoist friends have learned a lot, and it seems that they will benefit a lot today." ”
Zuo Ci also smiled and said: "It is better to communicate with colleagues than to study hard yourself." ”
Sima Hui began to applaud again: "Okay, okay, Yuan Zhi, you go and call Guangyuan (Shi Tao) and Zhou Ping (Cui Jun) to listen together." ”
Cui Jun and Shi Tao are both studying in the backyard, and they will arrive soon. Everyone greeted each other again, changed to a larger room, and sat down with the guests.
This time it was kneeling, and everyone was kneeling on the straw mat. Gongsun Kang, who is used to high-backed chairs, is not used to kneeling, but he follows the customs of the locals and can only wronged himself.
This room: the shelves are full of books, pine and bamboo are planted outside the window, and the hengqin is on the stone bed, and the air is clear. Obviously, it is the place to receive like-minded people.
When it comes to Taoism, Zuo Ci is the home field, as a Taoist master in the world, there are not many people who can argue with him. So Gongsun Kang didn't say a word, and honestly sat next to him and listened.
Sima Hui didn't have a needle point to Mai Mang, he was serious about communicating with Zuo Ci. The two started talking from Lao Tzu's 5,000 words, stimulating each other and wanting to get new insights.
There is no inferiority, and there is no arrogance. The insistence of the insistence, the correction of the amendment.
A debate went on for several hours. Even in this era, people only eat two meals, and they have already ordered it. Gongsun Kang muttered secretly in his heart.
It seems that Sima Hui did not pretend to be stupid this time, and his performance was much stronger than that in front of Liu Surface.
In 198 A.D. (the third year of Jian'an), Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao set up schools and school officials, and widely sought famous people from all over the world. Sima Hui lived in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
Sima Hui was erudite and knowledgeable, refined channel studies, strange doors, art of war, and scriptures, and was as famous as Song Zhong, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, when he was in Jingzhou. Liu Hui, a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, and Xiang Lang, a native of Xiangyang, were once students of Sima Hui; Yin Mo and Li Ren, who were from Yizhou Furen, came to Jingzhou to learn ancient scriptures from Sima Hui and Song Zhong because Yizhou was only popular in modern literature and classics.
Someone said to Liu Biao: "Sima Decao is a stranger, but he has not met a confidant." Later, Liu Biao personally went to visit Sima Hui.
Sima Hui knew that Liu Biao was narrow-minded and would definitely murder the good, so he deliberately kept silent and did not talk about the current situation.
So after Liu Biao's visit, he said: "What people say is false, this person is just a little scholar, and his knowledge is the same as that of ordinary people." ”
What Gongsun Kang wanted to communicate with Sima Hui most was the Qimen formation, and he didn't even bother to talk to him about the art of war. There is no need to show off what you are proficient in. If Sima Hui is really the big boss behind the scenes of the Three Kingdoms, he will definitely not be able to become a friend! The interests of the Sima family are above all else!
When it comes to Taoism, it's pure empty talk. Does Sima Hui have a cultivation method above the Yin God? Even if there is, it is a core secret, is he willing to take it out and share it?
Don't talk about the Yin God, talk about other Taoism, for Gongsun Kang, it doesn't mean very much.
It was already dark, and without being reminded, Sima Hui also knew that it was time to entertain the guests for dinner.
The boy brought out the usual home-cooked dishes, all of which were grown in the field, and the meat included chickens and ducks. In this era, there is no such thing as a vegetarian diet.
In later generations, Taoism, like Buddhism, emphasized vegetarianism. Taoism is mainly divided into one or two factions, and all are really not able to eat meat.
Zhengyi is doing a dojo, Patriarch Christmas, and the fifteenth day of the new year also have to be vegetarians.
There are two kinds of Taoist priests in the 21st century: the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect are monks, their hair and beard must be grown, and the top of their heads must be tied up, most of them are vegetarians, emphasizing pure cultivation; The Taoist priests of Zhengyi generally do not grow hair, and the cultivation chain emphasizes special emphasis on talismans, can get married, eat meat, most of them are not monks, also known as fire monks, and a small number of monks are monks, mainly engaged in Taoist ritual activities.
Modern Zhengyi disciples must be ordained to become qualified Taoists, while Quanzhen disciples are required to be ordained.
In the Han Dynasty, Taoism had not yet formed a religion, and Zuo Ci, Sima Hui and others studied Taoist learning in the same way as Confucian learning. At that time, intellectuals all studied this, and Huang Lao's theory was still very moving.
Then there is the national art, the national art pays attention to the foundation of a hundred days, this hundred days, the qi is activated, the yang energy floats, and the bottom is as hard as iron, but it can't be close to the female color. If you can't hold on to your body, Yuanyang will pour out, then all your efforts will be wasted, and you will have to start all over again.
Of course, the more important thing in these 100 days is to concentrate on meditation and eliminate distracting thoughts so that you can get started.
Those who practice martial arts will eat more meat, and eating more meat will transform more essence. Why don't monks eat meat? Because there is a lot of essence, if it will not be transformed, if you are full of self-hanging, you will miss women.
Monks and Taoists all like to meditate. During meditation, in the initial stage, the qi is activated, the yang energy floats up, and the iron rod rises. There is a solution: go vegetarian, or eat less food. It is equivalent to reducing the essence from the source. Therefore, people who do not practice meditation well are very thin and weak.
If you practice well, you will be able to do it. Simply not eating any food at all, that is really the realm of a master.
To engage in Danfa cultivation, you need to be vegetarian, and there is a certain reason for this. The main reason is that meat is easy to produce turbidity, and it causes **** to rush upwards and breed distracting thoughts, which hinders the cultivation of kung fu.
After a certain degree of cultivation, the whole body is full of impotence, and the concentration is sufficient, there is no taboo in the diet, whether it is meat or vegetarian is not hindered, the key is the self-grasp of the mind, but it is still better to eat vegetarian.
It is said that Zhang Sanfeng was sixty-seven years old when he entered the house to practice, and his impotence was insufficient, so he ate fish for three years to nourish his body, and finally he was able to cultivate.
The best Taoist fasting method is the "heart fasting" mentioned by Zhuangzi, that is, the heart is pure, which is the real "fasting", and it does not lie in eating meat and vegetarianism, but this is the saying for the wise people.
