Chapter 248: Early Incomplete Taoism
Xiaocao still didn't look up at Ge Hong, but replied as if talking to herself: "If it's really just a grass, how good it would be......"
When Ge Hong heard this, he suddenly tilted his neck, not because of Xiaocao's self-defeating words, but because he obviously heard a very slight, so slight that it was almost inaudible!
It's the sound of water droplets! That's right, it's the sound of water dripping, because it takes a long time to drop, and it's so far away, so if it weren't for a coincidence, or if your ears are extremely sensitive, you wouldn't notice it at all!
And Ge Hong is just a person who is looking for all kinds of alchemy materials in various spiritual mountains and rivers and various caves, so even such a slight sound did not escape Ge Hong's ears!
Ge Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew very well that as long as there was water flowing down, there would definitely be a passage not far away, and if there was a passage, there would be hope!
Ge Hong lowered his head and glanced at the little girl, and suddenly said seriously, "What if I have a way to get out?" ”
"But I don't want to go out......"
"Huh?" Ge Hong did feel a little surprised when he heard this, such words, where would a child say something, but since there was already a glimmer of hope in his heart, Ge Hong didn't say anything more, just looked at the little girl quietly and didn't say a word.
Xiaocao said as if talking to herself: "Ge Hong, do you think there are any ghosts in this world...... ”
"Ghosts?" Ge Hong was shocked by the little girl's sudden words, a child so young actually talked to himself about ghosts? However, Ge Hong was indeed becoming more and more curious about this little girl, so he replied, "Do you know Taiyi Tianzun? ”
"I don't know ......"
"Taiyi Tianzun is Taiyi Tianzun who saves suffering, he has incarnated countless people, seeking sound to save suffering, and surpassing the ghost of the netherworld! (Taiyi Salvation Tianzun originated very early, also known as the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor, Taiyi, Taiyi, Taiyi, Taihuang, is another name for the "Dao" of the ancestors, with "Seeking Sound to Save Suffering Tianzun", "Ten Directions Saving Suffering Tianzun" and other titles, referred to as Saving Suffering Tianzun.) In ancient times, before the worship of the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists, China regarded "Taiyi" as the supreme god of the heavenly realm and the origin of all life in the universe. For example, Guodian Chu Jian said "Taiyi Shengshui"; Hanshu. The Records of the Suburbs records that "the gods and nobles are Taiyi." The "Supplement to Chu Ci" explains the "Nine Songs. When the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, he also said, "Taiyi, the god of heaven; The ancestral hall is in Chudong, in order to match the Eastern Emperor, so it is called the Eastern Emperor." Even Taiping Dao, one of the original Taoist schools, also worships "Taiyi" as the dominant god. In fact, it is not the same god as the folk often called Taiyi Zhenren, Taoist Yinzong - Miao Zhen Dao, and is worshiped as the main god of this sect. )”
"Is there a ghost?"
"Well, so to speak, Netherworld ......"
Before Ge Hong could continue, Xiaocao had already interrupted: "Since everyone is dead, how can Taiyi save the suffering (there is no reincarnation in early Taoism)? ”
"Since it is to relieve suffering, it is natural that he will also incarnate and go to the Nine Shadows Land to take charge of order!"
"If you die, you will be taken care of, and then you will never come out? Is there such an order? It's impossible for the Netherworld to ascend to immortal immortality, right!? ”
"Hmm...... How do you say this? In short, people can only be blissful when they are immortal, so when they are alive, they must practice diligently, and how to resolve the pain of this netherworld, this ......? ”
"In this way, life or death is suffering, and the so-called bliss is only self-deception?"
"Bliss is a pursuit, and pain is also an experience......
Xiaocao listened to Ge Hong's words, but there was no good word that could answer the pain in his heart, and the desolation in his heart became even worse......
Ge Hong suddenly didn't know how to comfort this little girl, the little girl asked questions that the predecessors were thinking about but didn't have much way to explain, and there was nothing to explain on the talisman handed down from her grandfather Ge Xuan (Ge Xuan was the patriarch of the Taoist Lingbao School), and these problems also troubled Ge Hong for a long time (historically, it was Ge Hong who inherited and transformed the early Taoist theory of immortals, in "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter", he not only comprehensively summarized the theory of immortals before the Jin Dynasty, but also systematically summarized the immortal magic before the Jin, including Shouyi, qi, guidance and intraatrial surgery, etc.; At the same time, it also combined the magic of immortals with the Confucian Gangchang Mingjiao, emphasizing that "those who want to seek immortals should be based on loyalty, filial piety and Shun Renxin." If virtue is not cultivated, and if you do not practice it, you will not be able to live forever." And this kind of Gangchang Mingjiao and Taoist precepts are integrated, and believers are required to strictly abide by them. )。
Ge Hong was a little silent, and he realized that he really had no way to comfort the little girl......
"Hehe, I don't know what Buddha Tucheng would say if he was here?"
"Buddha Tucheng? Do you know Buddha Tucheng?! Ge Hong was obviously a little surprised, because he had been to Luoyang, and he once wanted to visit the old monk who debated metaphysics with many celebrities in Luoyang, but unfortunately he missed it every time, and the reason why he was so interested in Buddha Tucheng was because Ge Hong had listened to the predecessor of the real Fox Hill (Fox Hill according to the research of Mr. Chen Guofu of today, for the Jin Dynasty, about the same time as Ge Hong, wrote "Hardware Jue", but because the year of birth is unknown, so I can only guess here that he is not young, should be Ge Hong's grandparents, but has lived a long time, at least in 311 A.D. is still alive, and will live for a long time....... Well, it is said that the teacher of Fox Hill is Wei Boyang, and Wei Boyang's elixir, people eat it, and it is basically .......dead at the entrance) mentioned some mysterious and mysterious words, and there is a Buddha Tucheng in these words, but if you want to ask again, the fox master no longer speaks, and since then, Ge Hong has never met the fox master again, so Ge Hong will be so interested in this Buddha Tucheng!
Now, I actually heard the name of Buddha Tucheng again from the mouth of a little girl, how could I not surprise Ge Hong?
And just as Ge Hong wanted to ask the little girl questions, suddenly, there was a sound from the depths of the cave, and the movement was not small!
Ge Hong and Xiaocao immediately became alert, Ge Hong glanced at the little girl in front of him, his heart moved slightly, and he said in his heart: Looking at the lifeless appearance, if you really encounter danger, you will still resist!
Xiaocao was indeed afraid that another rat would appear, after all, the body of the guard brother who was gnawed to death by rats in order to protect himself was next to him, and this inexplicable voice made people shudder.
Xiaocao slowly retreated behind Ge Hong, staring nervously into the depths of the cave!
Ge Hong looked into the depths of the cave and pondered, because to him, it didn't sound like a mouse, but like a human! And it's two!
"Let's go, let's go deeper!"
"Nope! No! I'm afraid! ”
"Didn't you beg to die? What are you afraid of? Come with me, maybe there will be hope ahead, you remember, don't give up until the road ends! ”
"But, those rats!"
"It shouldn't be a mouse!"
"And what about his bones?"
"Let's find a way to take it out when we can get out!"
Xiaocao looked at Ge Hong in surprise, his hand firmly grasped the clothes behind Ge Hong's back, and Ge Hong glanced at the fire on the ground, it was obvious that he couldn't make any torches, so he could only slowly explore deeper into the cave......
Ge Hong added some fuel to the fire, so that he could estimate the time when the fire would go out, so that he and Xiaocao could still return to their original location if they found nothing during the search.......
In this way, the two of them began to grope their way to the depths of the cave step by step......
