Nian Fu said with a smile: "Therefore, I think that my life is in my absence", pointing out that an individual's life is not determined by heaven and earth, but in his own hands, emphasizing the importance of acquired efforts and giving full play to people's subjective initiative. This kind of thinking has played a positive role in the development of science and technology, the formation of a positive and enterprising outlook on life, a correct outlook on fame and fortune, and the maintenance of the ecological environment. The idea of "my life is in my absence" is a practice of a positive outlook on life. ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Do you know that there is a place in our country named after a Taoist priest?" ”

Nian Fu said: "Really? Even if it is the name of a Taoist priest, I'm afraid that after a long time, no one will be able to know! ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Of course it's true, China has been very particular about names since ancient times. If a child is born with guidance from the high ground and a given name, the child will be blessed for a lifetime. In modern times, too, newborns will go to a master for guidance when they are born, to see what attributes or unique words to bring in the name. In ancient China, there were many cities, and many ancestral halls were named after people who had special contributions, such as Yue Fei Temple and the like. There is a city in China, which has always been named after a profound person, and it has not changed for more than 1,000 years. Maoming City in China is named after Pan Maoming, a Taoist priest who has made great contributions to the local area. ”

Nian Fu said: "I'm going, it's really a cow, I can't imagine that there are such sages in our peers, when are they?" What happened next? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "He is, he went up the mountain to chop firewood and was taught the Tao, according to the wild history, Pan Maoming was born in 290 years of the Western Jin Dynasty, it turned out that he was just an ordinary local farmer, and he had no opportunity to learn knowledge when he went up the mountain to chop firewood every day." Incidentally, Pan Maoming happened to meet two old men playing chess on the way up the mountain to chop wood. He had never been in contact with chess, so he was very interested in it, and when he looked at it, he felt like he didn't know himself. He didn't go down until the sky slowly darkened, and he was fascinated by it unconsciously, maybe even he didn't realize that his surroundings had become dark. ”

Nian Fu said: "I've heard of this story, but I don't know what it's called, it turns out that this protagonist is because I didn't expect that there is really someone else?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know, there are indeed real people and real things, after playing chess in front of the two old men, I saw that Pan Maoming was still watching from the side, and I felt that Pan Maoming was a person with determination." So he asked him what he saw from it, and Pan Maoming saw that these two old men were talking to him, so he listed his thoughts point by point, and every sentence was reasonable, hitting the point, and telling it eloquently. The two old men couldn't hear it, and felt that Pan Maoming was a malleable talent, so they accepted apprentices on the spot and taught him Taoism and immortal arts. ”

Nian Fu said: "I didn't expect him to have immortal arts, so did he play immortal arts in the end?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Although the medical skills are superb, but for the poor to see a doctor, never charge money, as the saying goes, the master leads the door, the practice depends on the individual, and it is useless if you don't practice optics." With his own efforts, Pan Maoming has continuously learned the essence of it, and his skills have improved year by year, and he has become a profound person. Of course, there are references to this kind of wild historical record, but we can't trust all of them. However, according to legend, there was indeed a Taoist priest named Pan Maoming in history, who was skilled in medicine and helped many ordinary people. When the plague was raging, he also researched a good medicine to help the people tide over the difficulties and avoid the suffering of the sick. ”

He never charged money for the treatment of the poor, so he was respected by many people and won a lot of popular hearts. Until the moment before his death at the age of 83, he never stopped helping others. In order to commemorate Pan Maoming, the local people spontaneously built an ancestral hall for him to worship for future generations, hoping that future generations can always remember this righteous man who has helped countless people. In order to commemorate Pan Maoming, the place was renamed Maoming County

During the Sui Dynasty, the local people also automatically signed a joint name to change the name of the place to Maoming County, so as to remember the benevolence and righteousness of Pan Maoming forever. There is no doubt that this request must have been granted, and the name of Maoming County has not changed since the Sui Dynasty, even though it has passed through many dynasties and many generations of kings.

More than 1,000 years have passed, and Maoming County has also been upgraded to a prefecture-level city and changed to Maoming City. It is rich in resources, convenient transportation, and with the founding of New China, the economy has maintained a steady pace of development and has never been abandoned by history. As a member of the Chinese nation, remembering history, remembering history, and commemorating those who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the country and the local community is also the result of a kind of culture.

Nian Fu said: "Ah! This story of watching chess in the first half of the game, it still sounds like that, but then he was still young after he went back, and his family had already died, and he was old?

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, too, I have heard of this story, but now this story may be adapted from this real person and true story!" ”

Nian Fu said with a smile: "It makes sense, no matter how you change it or not, it is said that this person later became an immortal, but the original story can better explain that he cultivated immortals and attained Taoism after accumulating virtue and doing good......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Yes, I also think, in fact, sometimes we listen to stories, only know one and don't know the other, and when I see that people are cultivating immortals, I have some envy, and I say that it is an adventure, but even if ordinary people get good medical skills and don't save people, then it's not like there is no adventure, and they do nothing for a lifetime!" ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "I understand, what you said is that you have obtained medical skills, and those who save people to become immortals are adventures, if you are for your own selfish interests, you can't become an immortal, it's not like ordinary people who have learned a craft to eat!" But I don't know that everyone else has met the true master, when will I meet the true master? At that time, I will also save people, save the world, and become immortals......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "The soul is the true God Master, it is its own nature, the root, it is in your heart and body, so why seek it outside the body? What does it mean to mutter in your heart every day, but not to concentrate on cultivation? What is the purpose? What is in your heart is what really belongs to you, and you will truly bless yourself. Many religious believers pray for good fortune rather than purify their minds and devote themselves to spiritual practice. Not only do you ask for good fortune in this life, but you also need to cultivate in the next life, purify your body, and refrain from creating karma. The blessings of this world come from one's own efforts. ”

Nian Fu said: "Hahaha said that, I didn't take care of my soul myself, I couldn't meet the true master alive or dead, I could only pass it on from my family, and when the curse was fulfilled, I had to wait for the favor of death, and I died?" ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hahaha, you are too pessimistic like this, or is it a matter of mentality......"
