Chapter 279: A Saint Comes Out of the World

The vision in the hall took a long time before everyone came back to their senses, not to mention other people, even Fuquan was confused by this sudden appearance, wouldn't this later Taoist "ancestor heavenly master" really manifest himself?

Otherwise, why did the idol have such a vision when he prayed, and then there was a strange thing about a crow's Ouroboros and then hovering over his head? However, thinking of the crow holding the white bones, Fu Quan's heart burst out of a gloomy atmosphere, and he was secretly angry, and he didn't know where it got the dead man's bones, not to mention the crow or the mourning bird, the crow was still hovering over his head just now, and he couldn't say that he was going to suffer bad luck today, and he was provoked by whom, but this strange thing happened today.

It's just that before Fu Quan could speak, he heard that Zhang Xiu suddenly shouted, "Linggong has appeared, the stone statue has been opened, the divine bird has a bonus, and the sage is in the world, Daji!" Daji ......"

"Good omen! Good signs! ”

"The prince is a saint, and he is blessed and noble!"

"The sage is out, the world is clear, and it is auspicious!"

……

As soon as Zhang Xiu's words were finished, I didn't know what other Taoist priests and Taoist aunts thought, but they also echoed it together, and some people kept praising Fuquan's nobility, which made Fuquan depressed, don't you know that the crow is unlucky?

Of course, there are also some people in these Taoist priests and Taoist sisters who do not compliment Fuquan, they look more like pious believers, and they are kneeling down in front of the statue of the Taoist tomb with a humble heart, and while bowing to worship, they earnestly pray and say words such as "The heavenly master will appear to the spirit, and the unfilial descendants will kneel and beg the tomb to bless the five buckets of rice for thousands of generations, and the incense will continue". Perhaps it was the vision just now that made them think that after their teacher ascended to immortality and attained enlightenment, he would appear today, regardless of the wish, he only hoped to magnify his lintel.

I didn't know whether it was sincere or unintentional praise, and finally Zhang Xiu and the others ended their compliments to Fu Quan, and then Fu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "It's not auspicious, but it makes you all laugh, I don't know where the black bird came here to defile the statue of 'Zhengyi Zhenren', and ruined today's luck in vain." The black bird is the crow, at this time only called it "Wu", the famous Chu Wu, Qu Yuan in the "Chu Ci Shijiang" has "Luan Bird Phoenix Emperor, the day is far away." Swallow finch black magpie, nest hall altar".

"The prince was surprised by this, the black bird is an auspicious bird of peace, and it is easy not to appear in the world, how can it break the luck? On the contrary, today's monarch and marquis come here to inspect, first there is a 'Zhengyi real person' mausoleum stone statue to open the light, and there is a divine bird to come, this auspicious and auspicious is also, according to the poor Taoist view, the prince will be a great blessing and noble person in the future. Zhang Xiu saw that Fuquan actually said that the crow was an unlucky bad bird, his face changed, and he hurriedly corrected, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the crow had been hovering over Fuquan's head for a long time just now, which made the big man Liehou and Bajun Taishou who had countless human blood on their hands very dissatisfied, so he had that angry words.

Fu Quan was stunned when he heard this, his face showed doubts, could it be that he was thinking wrong, why did this Zhang Xiu correct his contempt for crows so much?

After thinking about it for a long time, Fuquan realized that this was really his own thought, and the crow at this time was indeed a sacred bird, a bird that meant peace and auspiciousness. As early as the Shang Dynasty, there is a historical legend of "the crow announces the good news, there is Zhou Xing", Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty quoted the "Shangshu Biography" in the "Spring and Autumn Dew, Similar Phases" and said, "When the Zhou Dynasty was Xing, there was a big red bird and the god of the valley and set the king house, the king of Wu was happy, and all the doctors were happy." The "big red bird" here refers to the crow. Similar statements are also recorded in the "Huainanzi", "Zuo Chuan", "Historical Records" and other historical books, which all show that the crow is an auspicious bird and a bird of the Annunciation.

In the pre-Qin period, the ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and at this time, the Han Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, and the "Book of Filial Piety" was a reading material that various intellectuals had to read through since childhood, and the crow's feeding behavior was a great embodiment of filial piety, and it was also impossible to have a mythical peaceful and auspicious implication to the crow by the current government and the mainstream of society.

Therefore, under the influence of the current mainstream cognition, no matter whether the appearance of the crow is fierce or auspicious, "the crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels to milk" is the consistent saying of Confucianism at this time to educate people with the image of animals in nature "filial piety" and "etiquette", so the image of the crow's "filial piety bird" has been passed down from the pre-Qin period to the present, and they must be sacred birds, which are undoubtedly birds that imply peace and auspiciousness.

In Taoism, the crow has a unique image of "sacred bird", not to mention this time, it is the unique customs and traditions derived from the crow in Wudang Mountain in later generations. In later generations, all those who made a pilgrimage to Wudang Mountain would stand on the Nanyan Shinto Road with food such as millet or baogu, and while scattering food on the cliff, they would affectionately shout "Crow crow, come and get food!" Flocks of crows then arrive at the call, chirping with their wings outstretched, and carrying food from the air, which pilgrims consider auspicious signs. That is one of the famous animal eight views of Wudang Mountain, "crow feeding", and that area is also named "crow ridge", there is also a crow temple in the north of the mountain, and the incense in the temple is continuous all year round.

Since he knew that he was wrong, Fu Quan did not mention this again, but changed the topic and asked Zhang Xiudao: "Does the Taoist know what the meaning of the stone statue of 'Zhengyi Zhenren' is manifested today?" ”

Fu Quan naturally couldn't admit that it was his mistake, otherwise he would be too sorry for his identity as a candidate and a county guard, if this Zhang Xiu was his elder or boss, he would definitely admit his mistake. But the other party is just a Taoist priest with some fame, in the eyes of these high-ranking officials, it is still nothing, sometimes, their fame will make the ruler jealous, you don't see Sun Ce killed Yu Ji later, doesn't he just look down on Yu Ji? If it weren't for Yu Ji's fame that threatened Sun Ce's rule and aroused Sun Ce's jealousy, then where would the little overlord of Jiangdong have a problem with this wandering Daoist?

"What the prince said is very true, and the poor Dao is happy, but he forgets to understand the true meaning of the Linggong. Wait for a while, wait for the poor road to count, and you will know what the manifestation of the tomb is this time. After speaking, Zhang Xiu saluted Fu Quan, signaled Fu Quan to be restless, and then shook his robe, and then the robe swayed naturally in the wind, quite like a person from an immortal family, with a fairy spirit.

I saw that Zhang Xiu first closed his eyes, and then there were words in his mouth, I don't know what he was talking about, I think it was some fortune-telling terms of Taoism. Then he pinched and pressed it several times in his palm according to some law, and then there was a burst of words, saying that he was waiting for a while, but this Zhang Xiu finally made Fu Quan wait for almost half a sound.

Finally, just when Fu Quan and the others were impatient, this Zhang Xiu finally stopped his pretentiousness, suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light appeared, and then said with a shocked face: "Wang Qi is in Yizhou, killing and urging white bones, changing his life against the sky, and there are saints in the world." ”
