Chapter 24: The Taibai Yin Sutra
Chen Tuan said curiously: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the poor Dao knows something, tell everyone about it!" ”
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and said: "According to legend, the Taoist chief is a person who has attained the Tao and become an immortal, I don't know if it is true or not, is there an immortal between heaven and earth?" ”
"False and true, false and false, false and real, everything has a certain number, and the destiny of heaven cannot be violated!" Old Ancestor Chen smiled slightly and said, "Everyone in the world preaches that the poor are immortals, and they are not right; The mighty spirit between heaven and earth lasts forever, with the essence of the sun and the moon, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, you can't become an immortal, but you can also prolong your life. ”
"If you have a god in your heart, then there is a god, and if there is no god in your heart, there is no god, and if you are sincere, you are spiritual. As for why the poor Dao has lived for so long, it is the method of turtle rest. Poor Dao has been living in Wudang Mountain, the pursuit of immortal road, absorbing the natural aura of heaven and earth, will have some yin and yang five elements of art, but also understand the secret of the heavenly machine, deep dwelling, perennial dragon to see the head but not the end, so it has been spread in the poor road to become an immortal. ”
In fact, the life span of the world is fixed, and there are long and short lifespans. If you want to live forever, it is a fool's dream, and maybe after death it will be the beginning of another life, maybe it's not enough. A year of poverty is a day for ordinary people, and the consumption of physical functions is low, so that the life span of the old Tao is far longer than that of ordinary people, and he meditates all year round, ignoring the world, so that there is less cause and effect, a little less sorrow, and only Haoran righteousness in his heart. ”
"Saint Seiya?" Zhao Gou couldn't help but think, he remembered the cartoons he had seen in the later generations, that person was also like this, hundreds of years have passed, and it is still the peak realm of the past, he never thought that Chen Tuan Ancestor would also have this magical exercise, which really surprised him, and muttered in a low voice: "How powerful is this small universe to reach such a high and profound realm, it is worthy of being a master!" ”
"Since the Taoist has the method of turtle breath and the way of deduction, I wonder if I can see the future development of the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Gou asked nervously, what he wanted to know most was the future development trend of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't have much interest in pursuing the path of immortality, he had already died once, and he had already left it behind.
Chen Tuan Ancestor shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely be fragmented, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains would be occupied by others. Nowadays, the state of the Great Song Dynasty is unpredictable, and I don't know what will happen in the future, the only thing that can be sure is that this matter has something to do with you. ”
Zhao Gou pointed at himself and said in surprise: "Dao Chief, aren't you joking with me?" I'm not the emperor, how can it be related to me? ”
"Although your future cannot be speculated, I am sure that you will become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future." Old Ancestor Chen smiled slightly, and said: "The breath on your body is unpredictable, and the poor Dao can't calculate your future, and I also see the imperial qi on your body, which is closely related to the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the qi of the dragon veins convergence." ”
"The king of a country, with the air of an emperor, has some connection with his own lifeline. When you become a king, you will sit on the world, and the energy of the world will gather on the emperor. The weakening of the national fortune directly affects the emperor's qi on the body, and if the emperor's qi is strong, the country will be strong; If the emperor's spirit is weak, the country will be weak. ”
"Today's emperor, Poor Dao was fortunate to meet once, when he registered as the emperor, Poor Dao saw his body of the emperor's air, if there is nothing, ethereal. The fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty also rose and fell, and they were erratic. Poor Dao knew that the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty were declining, and it was related to himself and man-made disasters, but it was more about the energy of the dragon vein. ”
"The stronger the dragon vein, the prosperity of the country, the more the emperor's spirit, and the return of the people of the world to the heart, it is the real peace of the country and the people. If you lose the hearts and minds of the people, the energy of the dragon vein will weaken, the fortune of the country will weaken, and the emperor's spirit will disappear. If the emperor's spirit disappears, it will be the time when the country is broken, and it will also be the time when the people of the world will suffer. ”
"In you, Poor Dao sees hope, and you have the ability to change the predicament of the weakening of the Great Song Dynasty. At present, the Great Song Dynasty has become virtual and unpredictable, and I believe that everything is related to the breath on your body. If the poor road is not wrong, your birth will bring an unprecedented storm to the Great Song Dynasty, as for whether it is good or bad, only the evaluation of future generations, not the poor road is a lesson. ”
Zhao Gou looked at Chen Tuan Ancestor dumbfounded, feeling that what he said was obscure and very mysterious, but he also heard the meaning, that is, the fate of the Great Song Dynasty was no longer the same as the historical trajectory, and everything was pinned on him. At the beginning, he wanted to change the fortunes of the country, but there was no way, and when he heard the words of Chen Tuan Ancestor, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and muttered: "If it is really as he said, what should I do?" What method should be used to save the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty and make the weak Great Song Dynasty stronger? ”
As if he knew what he was thinking, Ancestor Chen continued: "If you want to change the weak Great Song Dynasty, you must get rid of all old thoughts. There is nothing wrong with the method formulated by Taizu, but the mistake is to think about others with oneself, lack the openness, emphasize literature over martial arts, and firmly believe in the words of warlocks, ignoring the truth that man will conquer the sky. ”
"Whether it is the way of Confucius and Mencius, Buddhism and Taoism, there is a reason for existence, learn to integrate with it, the king of a country is in power, and the power of life and death can be determined in a word, just like a god. As the king of a country, he should put the people first, and the extravagant and exaggerated style cannot be left, ignoring the dynasty is really not doing his job, and it is not the act of a wise monarch. ”
"If you want to change the weak situation of the Great Song Dynasty, the only way to break the situation and completely subvert the deep-rooted thinking of the Great Song Dynasty of emphasizing literature over military force, military can stabilize the country, civil energy can govern the country, and having both civil and military forces is the premise for a country to prosper, and the emperor who commands everything, the way of employing people can be changed."
However, the way of Confucius and Mencius is the norm of human beings, and if this situation is changed, we must learn to be like a strong man breaking his wrist, carrying the infamy of the ages and violating the teachings of the ancestors. In this way, the merits are mixed, during the Song Dynasty Shenzong Wang Anshi's change of law, but also to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, the fundamental reason is that he does not dare to violate the ancestral teachings, completely abolish those regulations that should not exist, the change is doomed to failure, and the results are only temporary, especially the interests of the emperor's relatives and ministers are damaged, there will be voices of opposition, and it has been left to the current emperor, or can not be changed. ”
"The emperor of the year was ambitious, and since he was in power, he was ambitious and powerless, and later he was immersed in calligraphy and painting, ignoring the government and politics, and the country was even weaker, and there were traitorous ministers in charge, and the country was weakened. If you want to change the current predicament, only to grasp the power, fundamentally change little by little, the way of yin and yang balance in prosperity, is the best choice, in troubled times, it is simply chicken ribs, only to monopolize the dynasty, even if it is burdened with the infamy of the ages, dedicated to the people, the country will be unbreakable, the family will be happy and healthy, and the country will be prosperous. ”
"I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf!" Zhao Gou couldn't help but answer.
From the very beginning, Zhao Gou also knew that if he wanted to change the weak Great Song Dynasty, he could only fundamentally change, he must violate the ancestral teachings, for the sake of the people of the world, and also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.
Chen Kuan's ancestors' words woke up the dreamer with a word, Zhao Gou has been thinking about how the Great Song Dynasty has changed, but he has no real power, he just wants to become a general, keep thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from the invasion of the Jin State, and he doesn't want the tragedy of history to repeat again. However, Chen Tuan Ancestor told him that only by mastering the power can he completely change, otherwise the country's weakness cannot be changed.
Zhao Gou looked at Chen Tuo Ancestor sincerely, bowed down and said, "Thank you Dao Elder for your guidance, the kid knows what to do!" ”
Chen Wei's words also conveyed another meaning, that Zhao Gou's identity had been known to him, and he must be the prince. Since Chen Tuan Ancestor guessed his identity, it was normal to say all this. It's just that Zhao Gou did not regard himself as the king of the county, and when the master pointed out the maze, only respect was the real thank you.
"The children can be taught!" Old Ancestor Chen stroked his long beard, looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, and said with a mysterious smile: "The person you are looking for is in Tangyin County, and you can also get an unexpected gift at that time." ”
"Gifts?" Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered, muttering, "Could it be that Yue Fei is talking about?" ”
He remembered that Tangyin County was Yue Fei's hometown, and Zhou Tong was normal in Tangyin County. According to the records in the book, Yue Fei is the arrival of the Dapeng Divine Bird and wants to change the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, so that he has many enemies along the way. However, Zhao Gou can't determine what the real situation is, and sometimes it's just artistic processing.
"Poor Dao is destined for you, so I will give you a gift, I hope this gift can give you some help in the future!" Chen Tuo Ancestor smiled, Zhao Gou raised his head curiously, only to see him take out a yellowed book from his arms, Zhao Gou took it with both hands, and heard him say: "This book was handed down by the master of the poor road, and today the poor road will be passed on to you." ”
"Taibai Yin Sutra!"
Zhao Gou looked at the big characters written on the page, and then turned a page, only to see that it was written: "In the ancient times, people did not know their fathers, and they were like babies. In summer, they live in nests, and in winter, they live in burrows, and they travel with deer and pigs. The saint knows the four times of God, the unity of all things in the formless! After this, God is not enough to see the heart of heaven and earth, and the non-heart is not enough to know the art of victory and defeat. The husband is a sorcerer, respects the three emperors and becomes the five emperors; The sage got it, and the four seas and the king of Kyushu; Homo sapiens obtained it to defend the frontier and thwart the enemy; The fool gets it, and he pours the sect and destroys the nation, so the gentleman gets the poverty, and the villain gets his life. Therefore, the secret of the soldiers should not be spread in vain, otherwise it will affect the nine clans. ”
"This is a book of war!" Zhao Gou exclaimed.
"Yes, this is a book of war!" Ancestor Chen Tuan nodded slightly, and said: "People plan, siege equipment, tuntian, war horses, camps, and formation diagrams are all included, and there is no record in autumn. Its yin and yang, heavenly way, wind and clouds, to the back, although far away, but also exist and do not forget, small and taper knife, as large as the castle, wisdom and all things, and the road is the three armies! There are gates, although the officials of the drums and the pawns of the guards, they can also be the generals of ten thousand people. Words without literary ornaments, rational exploration of subtlety, ten years of cultivation, the Quartet soldiers, the knowers think that it is for the use of the time. ”
This book is written by the poor Taoist master Daguanzi, he was born in the former Tang Dynasty, it is borrowed from astronomical visions, Yin and Yang Five Elements of the art to change the military book, once written in Tang Xuanzong, but was squeezed out by traitors, and did not circulate in the world. Therefore, you are the real first person in this book, and I hope this book of soldiers will be helpful to you in the future. ”
Zhao Gou thanked him solemnly: "Thank you for the gift, the kid should do his best!" ”
When Ancestor Chen Tuan appeared in front of him, Zhao Gou was already very surprised, and he never thought that Ancestor Chen Tuan would teach him a book of war. Although Zhao Gou had never understood this military book, he knew the reputation of Chen Tuan's ancestor, so he naturally thought that his master was not a mortal, but must be a person with great magical powers, and his heart was even more eager to see how this military book was.
