Chapter 78: What is Yin and Yang?
"Also, men and women are not tired of working together!" I nodded, understanding.
The middle-aged man immediately laughed when he heard this, stroked his beard and said: "My brother is an interesting person, if there is a good wine, it should be a big deal." ”
I had the heart to make friends, and I laughed: "Coincidentally, I am carrying a strong liquor burning knife, and my brother is interested in bringing a pot." ”
"I can't ask for it!" As soon as this man heard that there was strong wine, he immediately smiled, his previous demeanor and bearing had long been forgotten, and his expression was no different from that of an ordinary drunkard.
I took the two wine gourds handed over by Dian Wei and threw one to him.
This man was not polite, took off the lid of the gourd and poured a large sip of wine, and then exclaimed: "Good wine, really good wine for heartburn and liver!" ”
I also took a sip of wine and joked, "It's good to burn a knife, but don't be greedy." ”
The scribe laughed dumbly, he held up the gourd, touched it lightly with mine, and then said, "If it is good wine, you need to drink it freely, dry!" ”
The indulgence of the two in the Buddhist family attracted the side eyes of the people around us, and we ignored it, drinking all the way to ourselves, and followed the crowd to sprinkle around.
When the wine was almost bottomed out, and the destination was close in sight, the noisy noise suddenly quieted down, and I couldn't help but look up—
Behind a tall linden tree, sits in a remote and secluded courtyard. Compared with the previous halls, the courtyard can not be more ordinary, but the building protected by this small courtyard is extraordinary, it is a towering floating temple, which is called a pagoda in the world.
I raised my eyes and saw that the pagoda was more than ten zhang high, built with thirteen floors, and the momentum was as magnificent as a three-day giant sword straight into the sky, which was the tallest building in Luoyang.
I can't help but admire Buddhism at the moment, there is no steel, no concrete, to be able to build such a tall pagoda, it is absolutely a miracle! Even I, a traveler who is accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings, is surprised, not to mention these late Han Dynasty dumplings, I am not so shocked by it that I regard myself as an ant, and I don't tremble and worship revertently.
The local Taoist school was defeated by it in the future, and it was indeed not unjust to lose at all! Looking at its wonderful move to provide a free venue for the Luoyang Poetry Conference every year, Qinggao Taoism will never be able to do it.
The Luoyang Poetry Conference is famous all over the world, and as a sponsor, how can Buddhism get the benefits of being famous all over the world?
Simply a natural marketer!
Compared with the various methods used by Buddhism to fool believers, it is difficult to dare to preach and pat horses.
Even I had to take it.
Sure enough, I found that there were people everywhere in the crowd who let out exclamations, and even more than a dozen people bowed to the ground, and their expressions were more sincere than the usual ghosts.
Of course, those scholars disdain to bend their waists, after all, they have all seen the world, Confucianism pays attention to the collapse of Mount Tai in front and does not change its face, if the name of Confucianism is folded at this moment, how will it be mixed in the future!
I stretched out my hand to the middle-aged scribe and motioned, "Brother, please!" ”
"Brother, please first!" The scribe smiled slightly, and made a gesture of please, but his body did not move.
I thought he was being polite to me, and I was a little surprised that this person would not be polite to me.
But he didn't notice this phenomenon: although the small courtyard was already overcrowded, no one entered the courtyard.
I smiled and shook my head, clapped my hands and walked into the small courtyard, walking towards the pagoda, Dian Wei, Shi A followed left and right and also stepped into the courtyard gate.
"Stop, a poetry conference is held here today, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!" A very nasty voice suddenly came out.
I shook my head, and when I stopped in astonishment, a little fat man panted and blocked his way, and although he was dressed as a Confucian man, he did not have the slightest sven, but like a cook who had been dealing with pots and pans for a long time.
"Look for death!" Dian Wei screamed, jumped out from behind me, grabbed the fat man's neck, and lifted him up.
"Who are you, you can have an invitation, you dare to make a big fuss about the poetry meeting, but there is a king's law!" Then some men who looked like men came together, and one of them challenged us.
I glanced back at the scribe with whom I had been drinking a lot, but when I saw that he was looking at him in a lively manner, I nodded my head when I looked back at him, but smiled without saying a word.
As soon as my heart moved, I immediately thought of this face that seemed to be smiling, could it be... Hurriedly signaled Dian Wei to put down the fat man, Dian Wei threw the little fat man aside, pointed to the scholar who spoke, and said, "Which green onion are you?" Dare to murder my eldest brother, I'm tired of living! ”
"These outsiders are going to be unlucky, dare to offend He Yin, the son of the He family in Nanyang, it is said that the He family is the current queen's own family..."
"yes, yes. Come here and don't look anywhere! ”
……
The person who spoke was so angry that his face turned pale, but now when he heard the obvious voices of others talking about him, he was full of confidence, so he pointed at me with his finger and reprimanded: "I am Nanyang He Yin, who are you a madman?" In broad daylight, he dared to commit murder in public at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where is the king's law? Where is the majesty of the Han family! ”
His tone was cold at the moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a big hat was covered, and a little battle between the corners of his mouth was frozen by him and elevated to a contradiction between himself and the enemy. In fact, Queen He was born as a butcher, and she has no dime relationship with his He family, since someone is talking about her, he is happy to use it to blackmail me.
This person has a vicious mind, if it weren't for Luoyang, without my orders, the people under his hands would also make him unable to eat and walk around. But today I didn't have the heart to deal with him, I reached out to pull him to the side, snorted coldly, and said: "A certain Donglai Shen Lang is also, although the world is big, where can you go?" What kind of invitation do you want, Mr. Cai has something important to do today, get out of the way! ”
After saying that, he went straight inside. He Yin stretched out his hand to stop him, but suddenly a cold light flashed, and a sharp sword had already pressed against his neck.
Shi A's cold eyes were sharper than the sword in his hand, which made He Yin shudder, he felt this person's killing intent, if he didn't shut up, that person would definitely kill him.
"It's so majestic, I thought that the person admired by Senior Sister Yan was so good, if you can't enter the door, you can move directly, admire, admire!" A yin and yang voice came out.
I followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was eight feet tall, and was dressed beautifully and magnificently. Although I am very unhappy with the visitor, I have to admit that this son can be called a handsome guy with a good demeanor. Although his handsome face was a little pale, with those deeply depressed eyes, it added a different kind of charm.
"You're selling tickets? How much does it cost to enter this pagoda? I vaguely guessed the identity of this person, so I stopped, deliberately took out a few large coins, and asked impatiently.
The handsome boy was ridiculed as a handyman who sold tickets, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"What kind of eyes do you have! This young man is the son of Wei Zhongdao of the Hedong Wei family, do you know? One of the people who accompanied the handsome man hurriedly came to the rescue, and then said: "If you don't have an invitation, you need to compose a poem, and if you are approved by us, you will be eligible to enter." ”
Sure enough, it's the short-lived ghost who left a name in history, I didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, how can I write poetry, it's almost the same limerick. I inadvertently glanced at the drinking friend behind me, but saw that he was also looking forward to it.
I'm a face-saving person, and of course I can't let this mysterious drinking friend look down on me, so I secretly groaned in my heart: That's it, what if I plagiarize again. I looked at Wei Zhongdao's accomplice fixedly, pretended to be annoyed, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"In Xiahedong Chen You, may I ask what kind of classics Brother Shen Shi governs, and where is the master he studied from?" There was a lot of sarcasm in this man's tone.
I looked at him, and saw that he was a tall, lanky young man, with a high crown and a wide sleeve that hung down enough to sew an entire sheet. This dress is not only pretending, but also a waste of fabric. But seeing that he looked disdainful, he raised his neck to provoke me, proud like a rooster in heat. What's even more hateful is that this guy is even more white than Xiao Bai's face, and his face is painted with powdered eyebrows, and I just looked at him, and I already had the urge to vomit.
I held back my nausea and asked rhetorically, "It turned out to be Brother Chen, fortunately, fortunately." Shen is a rough person, he has never read the classics, and he has no famous teachers to teach him, but he only knows that the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article. I don't know what kind of knowledge Brother He is doing? ”
At first, everyone present heard that I called myself a rough person, so they despised me, but later when they heard that "the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article", some people looked at me as a "rough person", and my drinking buddy began to read in a low voice and reminisce...
Chen You was also taken aback when he heard this, the mockery on his face was slightly reduced, he glanced at me twice, and then bowed his hand to the surroundings and said: "Chen is not talented, but he only knows a little about the five elements of yin and yang, and the sense of heaven and man." It's not like someone who is blind and arrogant! ”
His tone was gloomy, his intentions were vicious, and he wanted to erect Lao Tzu as the public enemy of the scholar under the cover of his big hat.
The five elements of yin and yang, the induction of heaven and man are actually the core of traditional culture, but they have been graffiti on a large scale by Dong Zhongshu and others, and generations of Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty have worked hard to drill the tip of the horns, and the classic philosophy of the good end has become a miasma, so that all astronomical phenomena, earthquake disasters, wind and grass movements, etc. are accused of being caused by man-made disasters, which is really harmful.
As soon as he said this, the originally lively scene suddenly quieted down, and this small conflict had escalated into an unsolvable contradiction between the enemy and us, and it would even go on and on.
"Brother Chen still understands yin and yang, and the five elements of Ming. Admire, admire! "This dead shemale wants to be yin, although I am angry in my heart, my face is still silent, but I stretch out my thumb to this pseudo-lady and praise.
Seeing that my client was still ignorant, most of them shook their heads, and even those who had pondered my witty words just now had a heart of contempt again.
The Xiaobai surnamed Chen was not polite at all, he nodded, and replied very reservedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
"What is yin and yang? I also hope that Brother Chen will give advice. "I am sincere, a little more polite than the attitude of the student to ask the gentleman.
Seeing that I was asking him questions in front of so many people, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and his gaze was much softer than before, he shook his head and began to recite the scriptures: "What is yin and yang? Wuji and Taiji, Taiji moves and generates yang, moving pole and static, static and yin, and one movement and one static is yin and yang. The sky is yang, and the earth is yin; Movement is yang, stillness is yin; Rise to yang, descend to yin; Hot is yang, cold is yin; Men are yang, women are yin......"
"I don't know if Brother Chen is yang or yin?" Before he could finish, I interjected.
"Of course it's yang." Chen You was on the rise, and was suddenly interrupted, so he replied impatiently.
"Oh no, fooled!" Wei Zhongdao, who was beside him, felt that something was wrong, and immediately glanced at Chen You. And Chen You was about to say all the yin and yang at this moment, so he didn't notice the small movements of his companions.
But how can Wei Zhongdao's actions escape my eyes.
"No, Brother Chen should belong to Yin!" I shook my head categorically in denial, pointed to a beautiful girl with makeup who was about to join in to see the excitement and said: "This beauty belongs to the yin, let's take a closer look, the grease on Brother Chen's face is thicker than hers, isn't it yin?" ”
