The reason why the Yellow Emperor is a good emperor is because he is good at using the available talents and making these talents willing to benefit the society. Due to the Yellow Emperor's multi-pronged approach and everyone's hard work, all walks of life have made great progress.

When the Yellow Emperor saw that everyone was working together to serve the country, he thought that since everyone was actively improving, he had to learn some skills to improve his level.

After many inquiries, the Yellow Emperor finally found out one day, only to find out that in the southwest direction, far away from the capital, there was a Kongtong Immortal Mountain. There is a world-famous Taoist master living on Kongtong Mountain, it is said that this master was originally a god in the sky, and people called him "Guangchengzi".

In fact, a long time ago, Guangchengzi learned Taoism and practiced from Yuan Shi Tianzun. Later, when he was successful in learning the Tao, he wanted to find a quiet place in the world to continue his cultivation. So, he drove the Xuanhe to Kongtong Mountain.

Guang Chengzi drove the Xuanhe around Kongtong, but saw that the layers of forests on Kongtong Mountain were verdant and stained, and the valley was dripping and green. Moreover, there are Jing River and Rouge River flowing through the mountain, and they are like two Sulian around the mountain.

Guangchengzi has seen and visited the land many times from afar, and found that this Kongtong Mountain can be described as a high mountain and a long water, quiet and quiet. Everywhere is a beautiful mountain and clear water, picturesque and exquisite.

Guangchengzi saw that Kongtong Mountain was enough to cut off the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, and it was a good place to cultivate the spirit and transform the qi and cultivate the body. So, he settled down satisfied. He also engraved on the highest rock wall the four characters "Overlooking the Five Mountains".

After Guangchengzi Xianju Kongtong, Kongtong Mountain suddenly changed greatly due to the patronage of immortals. I saw that Kongtong Ridge is overwhelmed by the sky, the peaks are like forests, the fairy caves and spiritual caves are dotted around, scattered and scattered, the strange stones and strange peaks are surrounded by white clouds, and the purple gas is steaming.

Guang Chengzi can't help but feel very lonely sometimes because he lives in the "Mixed Yuan Cave" where the clouds are steaming and the clouds are steaming. Whenever this time, he took advantage of Xuanhe to invite the immortal friend Chi Songzi to come to talk about immortals and play chess for recreation.

And the Xuanhe under Guangchengzi, because he served the two masters at any time, heard the words day and night, and he also became a fairy child, and the teachings of the master were even more understandable.

When Guangchengzi and Chi Songzi were tired from cultivating, they went to rest under the crooked-necked pine tree on the mountain. There is a quaint bluestone chessboard under the tree, and Guangchengzi and Chisongzi often play chess on this stone board.

Whenever the two of them played against each other, their chess skills were truly superb, to the point of being superb. Xuanhe Immortal Tong found that the two immortal masters didn't need to use their hands to play the game, they just activated their minds and let the chess pieces on both sides go back and forth as they wished.

Because Kongtong Mountain has Guangchengzi and Chisongzi cultivating here, the fame of this place has increased. The Yellow Emperor had the intention to visit all the wise men of the world to seek a way to govern the country and secure the people. Naturally, he had a longing for Kongtong Immortal Mountain, so he came here.

When the Yellow Emperor went to Kongtong Mountain this time, he was already in his forties, and he had been a monarch for 20 years, so he inevitably put on a grand show. The Yellow Emperor sat on the back of an elephant and led the way, while the Yuan Concubine and the second concubine followed closely in a wooden cart, followed by many courtiers.

On this day, the Yellow Emperor and his entourage crossed the Jing River, and the chariots and men stopped in front of Kongtong Mountain. The Yellow Emperor looked at it, Kongtong Mountain is stacked on top of each other, the rock cliffs are precipitous, everywhere is a lush tree, the mountain vines are all over, look left and right, but there is no way to go up the mountain.

The Yellow Emperor asked Chang Xian: "Chang Xian, how can we go up the mountain with such dense trees and dense forests?" ”

Chang Xian said: "Yellow Emperor, presumably that Guangchengzi Immortal Wind Dao Bone may have already decided that we are coming, so let's wait solemnly at the foot of the mountain for the time being." ”

Everyone waited for a long time, but there was still no movement, and the Yellow Emperor asked the ancestor in confusion: "Royal wife, is it that my heart is not sincere and my will is not strong, and the Guangcheng Immortal Master does not want to come to see me?" ”

The ancestor said: "Yellow Emperor, don't think nonsense. We start our journey from the east of the Big Dipper, then we go up at sunrise and rest at sunset. It is not easy for us to keep walking to this field of bucket handles, everyone even wears through the cowhide that wraps the feet, how can it be said that the heart is not sincere, and the will is not strong? ”

The women's festival continued: "Yellow Emperor, according to the minister's opinion, let's all sing and dance." If the song and dance start, we can hear the movement from afar, and perhaps the immortal master will come down the mountain to summon us when he hears it. ”

The Yellow Emperor thought that what the Women's Day said was right, so he nodded in agreement. So they burned the herbs, and the aroma of the herbs hit people, and the green smoke flew away. The courtiers danced around the herbs, and they sang the song of ploughing, and waved the rope whisks made of oxtails, and they sang as they danced and sang to resonate the valley.

The curling aroma and uplifting singing voice had already entered Guang Chengzi's heart, he was playing against Chi Songzi at this time, but the two continued to talk and laugh as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Xuanhe Boy hurriedly came to the Mixed Yuan Cave, and he said to Guangchengzi: "Tell the Immortal Master, the Xuanyuan Clan led many people to ask for a meeting at the bottom of the mountain. “

Guang Chengzi had long known the Yellow Emperor's intention, so he smiled at Chi Songzi and hugged his fists and said: "This Yellow Emperor is really ridiculous, he doesn't go to govern the country and the world, but he came to me to ask for immortals and asked, what kind of truth is this?" I'll have to ask him later. ”

Chi Songzi saw that Guangchengzi had something, so he smiled back and got up to say goodbye. Guang Chengzi waved the dust, and the Xuanhe boy had already turned into a red-crowned crane, and it had landed beside Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi stepped on the back of the crane and rushed out of the mixed yuan cave. A group of colorful fairy birds saw the crane flying by, and they also followed and flew behind them, making a pleasant chirping sound together. The Yellow Emperor and the others suddenly saw Guang Chengzi appear in the clouds, and they were ecstatic for a while, so they all knelt down on the ground and bowed to Guang Chengzi.

The Yellow Emperor begged Guang Chengzi in an extremely reverent tone: "The respected immortal master is above, and the disciple Xuanyuan has come to ask you for advice with a sincere heart. The disciple is ignorant, and dares to ask what is the way of the immortal master? Please advise! ”

Guangchengzi took the Xuanhe crane and circled three turns above the heads of the Yellow Emperor and the others, and then he stopped in the void.

Guang Chengzi said meaningfully: "Xuanyuan, you asked this question a little too early. Because those who govern the world cannot want to see results without hard work. This is the same as wanting to rain when you don't see Cumulus clouds, and wanting to turn yellow without waiting for autumn. You haven't understood this yet, so where can you talk about the truth of the Tao first? ”

Guang Chengzi said, he lifted the dust and took the crane to hide in the clouds. The Yellow Emperor was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Kongtong Mountain, and then thought about what the immortal master said, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sourness, and tears actually burst out of his eyes.

Seeing that the Yellow Emperor was crying, the ancestor came over to dissuade the Yellow Emperor, but the Yellow Emperor thought that he had come thousands of miles away, but he returned empty-handed, and he became more and more excited. Tears flowed down his cheeks.

The Yellow Emperor stood there for a long time, and a clear spring was born in the place where he wept. The small pebbles in the spring are green and crystalline, just like the crystal teardrops of the Yellow Emperor, and some people call this clear spring "Ningzhu Spring" or "Liuli Spring".

Although the Yellow Emperor was the Son of Heaven, many years later, he still wanted to visit Guangchengzi again. This time, he wanted to go to Kongtong Mountain alone to learn the Tao again. So, the Yellow Emperor said goodbye to his wife and ancestor, and rode alone to Kongtong Mountain.

Along the way, the Yellow Emperor put down his body, trekked through mountains and rivers, ate and slept in the open, and when he didn't eat, he picked wild vegetables on the side of the road to satisfy his hunger. One day, he finally came to the foot of Kongtong Mountain. is about to see the respected teacher in his heart, and the Yellow Emperor is also a little uneasy in his heart.

On this day, the Yellow Emperor was looking for a way up the mountain at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, and suddenly saw an old man with red hair and long beard coming in front of him, so the Yellow Emperor stood beside the road and gave way to the old man.

The old man looked at him and smiled slightly: "Yes, if you can learn to be humble, you can only seek truth." That's good, that's good! ”

The Yellow Emperor hurriedly stepped forward and said, "May I ask the elder, do you know which road leads to the Kongtong Immortal Realm?" ”

The elder looked at the Yellow Emperor slightly, and said casually: "Immortals have no boundaries, only in their hearts, and they do not hesitate to suffer on their knees, and they are sincere and clear." ”

Before the Yellow Emperor came back to his senses, the old man disappeared suddenly. It turned out that this elder was none other than Hiroshiko's friend Chi Songzi. Chi Songzi wanted the Yellow Emperor to let go of the emperor's shelf and endure more hardships, so as to please Guangchengzi to teach him the Tao. Therefore, Chi Songzi pointed out the Yellow Emperor like this.

The Yellow Emperor recalled the words and phrases chanted by the old man, "Immortals have no boundaries, only in their hearts, they do not hesitate to suffer on their knees, and they are sincere and all are connected." Oh! This may mean: as long as you have sincerity, you can seek the true immortal path; As long as you do not hesitate to endure hardships, you will be able to find the path to the highest path.

When the Yellow Emperor thought about his majestic face when he saw Guangchengzi for the first time, he couldn't help but feel respect in his heart. He tidied up his clothes at the bottom of the mountain, and decided to walk on his knees and climb Kongtong Mountain.

The Yellow Emperor respectfully knelt step by step, and kowtowed step by step. Until his shoes wore out, his feet wore out, and he couldn't walk an inch, and his knees were worn out. When he kneeled halfway up the mountain, there was already a Xuanhe boy who reported to Guangchengzi, but Guangchengzi turned a blind eye.

Guang Chengzi saw that the Yellow Emperor knelt in front of him very reverently, and he felt some indescribable relief in his heart. As soon as the Yellow Emperor saw Guangchengzi, he repeatedly bowed to him. He consulted the immortal master on the method of self-cultivation and asked him to teach him the method of cultivating to the Tao. Ask him how he can achieve immortality,

Guang Chengzi first looked at him with an approving gaze, and then replied: "You asked this question very well. ”

Immediately, the immortal master said in a gentle tone: "The essence of the Dao, the essence of the Dao, the extreme of the Dao, faint and silent." Ignore and listen, hold the mind to be quiet, the form will be self-righteous, it will be quiet and clear, there is no hard work, there is no shaking of your spirit, and you can live forever. Eyes see nothing, ears hear nothing, heart knows nothing, and thou shalt keep the form, and the form is immortal. ”

Guang Chengzi said this, and then talked about how he cultivated himself.

Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor said: "The immortal master taught, Xuanyuan suddenly felt that his heart was bright and his eyes were bright, and he suddenly opened up. Your Taoism is broad and profound, and Xuanyuan must remember every word in his heart. ”

Guang Chengzi looked at the Yellow Emperor and said: "Yellow Emperor, although you are the king of the world, but in my place, I don't care if you are an emperor or a commoner, and I will not look at you differently." People come here because the people who come here are people who are dedicated to the Tao. The so-called Tao is to endure hardship, and only by being willing to endure hardship can you get what you want, understand? The Yellow Emperor nodded frequently.

Guang Chengzi paused and said, "What is Dao?" There are many interpretations of the so-called Tao, but in general, the Tao is a sense of relief that we want to break through. The highest state of monasticism is an emptiness in the mind, where you can neither see nor hear anything. Only by concentrating and meditating will the body be clean and innocent, and the mind will be as fresh as jade. While cultivating the Tao, we should pay attention to inner cultivation and eliminate external interference. Only by not allowing too much worldliness to corrupt your true nature can you let the Tao lead you to the gate of infinity and swim in the infinite wilderness. Only then can the Tao make you shine with the sun and the moon, and coexist with heaven and earth. ”

The Yellow Emperor deserves to be called the Yellow Emperor, he is smart and wise, his mind is clear, and his understanding is extremely high. In addition, he is not afraid of hardships and is humble to the Tao, which is very appreciated by the immortal master. After a period of cultivation, seeing that the Yellow Emperor had already understood the root of the Tao, Guangchengzi recognized the Yellow Emperor's practice and accepted him as a disciple.

After several years of cultivation, the Yellow Emperor's Taoism has improved greatly, and Guang Chengzi is very satisfied with this disciple, so he decides to let him go down the mountain.

Before leaving, Guang Chengzi asked the Yellow Emperor: "Yellow Emperor, you have learned something, I have decided to let you go back and continue to lead and educate the Hualong nation to find the root of happiness." But I want to ask you, what are your unfulfilled wishes for this visit? ”

The Yellow Emperor arched his hand and said: "Master, I have a high-grade treasure here, which is the Fuxi Sword passed down to me by the Emperor Fuxi." This thing is very precious, I still collect it, but because no one really passed it on, I will not use it, I don't know if the master can give advice? ”

The Yellow Emperor actually concealed some truths when he said this, and he didn't mention anything about Emperor Fuxi teaching him swordsmanship. Guang Chengzi took the sword and saw that it was indeed a rare treasure, so he couldn't put it down.

He looked up at the Yellow Emperor and said, "The so-called swordsman wears the brilliance, uses it quickly, and carries it lightly. The backbone of the sword lies in the strength of the steel, in the sharpness, and in the indomitable martial spirit. A person who wields a sword must first of all not deceive the innocent and not be afraid of violence. With the soul of the sword, promote righteousness; With the power of the sword, advocating peace. We must not forgive the evil forces that violate peace. Protect the kind people who are threatened. As long as you remember this, I will teach you the unsurpassed sword path of my Most Holy Sword Technique. ”

Guang Chengzi talked a lot, so that the Yellow Emperor's mind suddenly opened, under the guidance of Guang Chengzi, the Yellow Emperor's swordsmanship and martial arts have made rapid progress. After several years of study, the swordsmanship of martial arts has been learned by the Yellow Emperor.

In the competition with the master, the swordsmanship of the master and apprentice has also been inferior. Guangchengzi was very satisfied with this disciple, so he sent the Yellow Emperor down the mountain to continue to govern the country, secure the people, and level the world.
