Chapter 550: Stop Killing with One Word

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, since they are both Taoism, but there are two flowers, and they all believe in the Three Qings, but the rules and precepts are different." One is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the other is to cultivate the mind, so what's not to do! If you want to talk about the level of the realm, I think it still depends on personal understanding and personal cultivation, relying on my mouth, one tongue to say it, even if I say it to different people, the meaning of this statement, after being heard, also changes the taste! And why say it again......"

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hahaha, the kid is really cunning enough, I said a question, you thought of a philosophical truth for me, can you still have a good chat, you just say that we are still not good buddies, that is, now the two of us are talking, what is not good to say, and it is not how many people have come to listen to your lectures, you are still afraid that if you can't say it well, you will be famous?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehe, if you want to listen, it's not that you can't say it, it's just that I'm also relatively low now, I said it wrong and I'm afraid of causing public anger, so you can listen to it casually, this matter has to start with Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect......"

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, okay, I'll listen to it casually, don't be afraid, I can't tell others to go when the time comes......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Among the seven sons of Wang Chongyang's patriarch Quanzhen, Qiu Zu, a real person in Changchun who founded the Longmen faction, had the greatest influence. At that time, Qiu Zu preached and preached, and his reputation increased day by day. So much so that Genghis Khan sent an envoy to invite him. At that time, Genghis Khan's army was fierce and brutal, and it was difficult to explain the murderous nature. In the context of Genghis Khan's attack and slaughter of cities, Qiu Zu decided to meet Genghis in person regardless of his personal safety in order to save people's livelihood. Khan, before leaving, once wrote a poem: "Ten years of war and thousands of people are worried, and there is no one or two out of ten thousand." Last year, I was fortunate enough to be under the edict of mercy, and this spring I need to brave the cold to travel. He did not leave the north of the mountain for 3,000 miles, and still missed the 200 states of Shandong. The poor are extremely leaky, and the early education life has to be eliminated. Qiu Zu, who was nearly eighty years old at the time, personally led eighteen disciples in this way, preaching and preaching along the way, promoting Xuanyi, traveling thousands of miles, going through hardships, and traveling west to advise... Finally, three years later, they arrived at the camp of the snow-capped mountains in present-day Afghanistan. After the two met, Qiu Zu hugged his fist. Genghis Khan asked for the elixir of life. Qiu Zu replied: "I don't have the elixir of longevity, but there is a way to live long, and health preservation should be based on a pure heart and few desires."

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hahaha, Genghis Khan, that's a murderous demon lord, an iron-fisted method, can he listen to Qiu's chances?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Don't say it, he listened to Qiu's intentions, and he reduced his killing in the future!" ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "I'll go, this is not the old god Qiu Chuji calculated that Genghis Khan will dominate the world in the future, so I deliberately said it, otherwise I heard that the Jin Song Emperor summoned him, but he didn't see it, what does it mean to see Qiu Chuji......"

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Maybe there is this possibility, after all, Taoism knows better than any religion about the three yuan and nine fortunes, these world fortunes, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's push back map, I heard it, have been predicted until now!" He knows the general trend of the world, and it is all on Genghis Khan's side, which is also certain......"

Nian Fu said: "Well, it makes sense, by the way, Qiu Chuji said that, what did Genghis Khan say?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Genghis Khan asked again about the way to govern the country. Qiu Zu replied: "Those who want to unify the world must care about not killing people, and they must respect God and love the people..." Genghis Khan was happy, and ordered to write it down left and right to educate future generations. and gave Qiu Zuxi a book and a talisman, and ordered him to be in charge of the affairs of Taoism in the world. The holy miracle of Qiu Zu's westward journey was praised by later historians as "a word to stop killing". Under the influence of Qiu's machine, the "generation of Tianjiao" is deep. Moved, he finally ordered to "stop the killing" and pardoned tens of thousands of captured soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city avoided the tragic disaster of ruining their families and killing people. Later, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote an inscription for the Baiyun Temple: "Eternal life, do not eat Xia to seek secrets; In a word, stop killing, and know that there are miraculous achievements in helping the world", which is a high evaluation of Longmen Qiu Zu's "self-degree and purification" - life. Kindness and pragmatism, not departing from morality. Since ancient times, Taoism has not said many earth-shattering "big words", but has followed the teachings of Taishang Laozi - "one day of kindness, two days of frugality, three days do not dare to be the first in the world", if the way is ignorant, if the way is retreated, see the plain embrace the simple, do not decorate vanity. Combine your own practice with the benefit of the world in a down-to-earth manner, with the Tao, with virtue, with the world, and if you are wise and foolish, you will not fight, Taoguang will cultivate obscurity, and let the world benefit. ”

Nian Fu said: "I understand, or all true, only cultivate the mind, only seek yourself, regardless of the safety of others is selfish, I think from the heart of the world Qiu Chuji opportunity to see Genghis Khan, it is impossible to be a selfish villain, but he may have already broken his body, knowing that this Genghis Khan does not know what to do to him, he dares to take risks alone, but even so, there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune, even if no one can have the courage and courage to take risks alone!" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "That's right, which faction to cultivate, in fact, the most important thing is not the faction, but to have a heart that cares about the world!" ”

Nian Fu said: "As Taoist disciples, what do we cultivate? While cultivating the Tao and becoming immortals, we should also cultivate morality and compassion in the process of doing things for the good believers of the ten directions. Isn't this the embodiment of Taoist ideology of "kindness, frugality, and not daring to be the first in the world"? Through this story, from the history of the development of Taoism in China, we see the traditional virtues and great sentiments of the Chinese people. The "frugality" and "compassion" contained in Taoism are worthy of the belief and inheritance of the spirit of each of our descendants of Yan and Huang. ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Qiu Chuji is one of the souls of Jin Yong's "Legend of the Condor Heroes". In China, he has a strong national integrity, and sometimes he is quite temperamental, jealous and hateful, and dares to fight. However, the history describes him a little differently, at the end of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Qiu Chuji was invited by Guo Jing to go to Khorezm to preach for Genghis Khan. This wonderful plot actually has a historical prototype, which is what we talked about today, Changchun Real Journey to the West. ”

Nian Fu said: "Journey to the West in Changchun? ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Well, in historical documents, Qiu Chuji is a master of the Tao who respects life. He met Genghis Khan and exhorted Genghis Khan to respect heaven and love the people, reduce killing, and have few desires. And it is said that since then, Genghis Khan has really reduced his killings. These contents are recorded in Yelu Chucai's "Xuanfeng Qinghui Records". ”
