Chu Chu thought to himself what happened to this master today, why did he cook in person? I've never seen Master cook for myself!

Jade hairpin smiled and said, "Master, the ancestor is in a good mood today, and he actually went to cook ......."

Xuan Chu smiled: "Hehe, I don't know if my father can use immortal arts to cook, why did I suddenly have to cook when I didn't see my master cooking......

Seeing that the master was gone, Xuan Chu said to the jade hairpin: "But in our current society, what is popular is a cultural study, what is popular is research, and the biggest and biggest drawback is that there is too little practice. ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "The most taboo is also the most terrible, that is, there is no actual cultivation at all, the cultivation of self-nature, the correction of one's own mistakes, just blindly talking, then such a person is the "crazy friend and strange friend" mentioned by the Void Emperor Tianzun in the "Ten Precepts of the First Truth", such a person, stay away, and making friends with such a person is only harmful to oneself. ”

Seeing that the master was gone, Yi Chu smiled and said, "Jade hairpin, you have followed the master for almost two thousand years, right?" ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "Well, what's wrong?" ”

Yi Chu glanced at the master's absence, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what kind of person is the master?" ”

Jade hairpin smiled and said: "People call Lu Dongbin the Pure Yang Patriarch, call the sword he carries the Pure Yang Sword, and practice the swordsmanship as the Pure Yang Sword Technique. Lu Dongbin practiced chivalry and righteousness with pure yang swordsmanship all his life, so he deduced many popular mythological stories. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Hehe, come and listen?" ”

According to the "Dictionary of Chinese Celebrities of the Past Dynasties" (hereinafter referred to as the "Dictionary"): "Lu Dongbin, Tang Jingzhao. Famous rock, the word Dongbin. He likes to wear a Huayang scarf, a yellow and white shirt, a big morning tapestry, and a Zhang Zifang. Xiantong and the first two county orders, the value of the Huangchao chaos, the end of the south to get the way, unpredictable. Among the Tang poetry advocates is a poem by Lu Dongbin. alias Chunyangzi, also known as Huidaoren, that is, one of the eight immortals. Also known as Lu Zu. The history of the Song Dynasty also called Lu Dongbin a native of Guanxi, who had swordsmanship, was more than 100 years old and childish; Walking lightly, hundreds of miles in an instant, the world thought that it was a fairy, and it was counted in the clouds. ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "Patriarch Lu Dongbin is not only tall and mighty, but also intelligent, well-read, and studious. He read widely the books of Zhuzi and hundreds of schools, and was interested in the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and he couldn't put down the "Zhou Yi" and "Tao Te Ching". He is a quick thinker and can integrate the theories of the three religions. He has an amazing memory and can recite tens of thousands of words in a day. He is talented, well-written, and smooth. This laid a cultural and theoretical foundation for him to participate in the imperial examination later, become an official, study medicine, and save lives and help the wounded. It is also an important factor for him to be worshiped as an immortal by the people. Lu Dongbin once participated in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no disagreement on this point, whether it is the official history or the wild history. As for whether Lu is "the first", "the county order of the two tunes", or the examination is the first, see through the red dust, there is still endless debate in history, and it is not the content of this article. But looking at various historical materials, one thing is certain and unified: "The value of the Huangchao chaos, moving to the south will eventually lead to the way." ”

Xuan Chu said, "Then why did Master cultivate the Tao later? ”

Jade hairpin said: "Whether Lu Dongbin and the first are officials, or they are frustrated, they have caught up with the Huangchao peasant uprising in time. The rebel army was huge, attacking the prefecture and plundering the prefecture, and the Pingxian county was based on the township, shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule. If Lu Dongbin had been an official at the time, he would have abandoned the official and fled; If you don't become an official, you will be involved in a turbulent situation. As the historical data says: "In the late Tang Dynasty, wars were frequent, and the big clans in the Hedong area moved to the Lingnan area, probably the Lu family also avoided the chaos in Dongbin and went to Zhongnan Mountain to live a secluded life with a pure heart and few desires." Therefore, there is an opportunity and time to interact with monks such as Zhong Liquan and others. In the end, he abandoned his family and ran away, joined Taoism, helped the poor, and realized his wish to save people. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Sure enough, it is the master who has the world in his heart......"

Jade hairpin smiled: "After the patriarch became a monk, he "devoted himself to cultivation". "History of the Song Dynasty" contains: "Guanzhong Yiren Lu Dongbin, more than 100 years old, and the appearance is like a baby, and there is swordsmanship. "It can be seen that the patriarch is a Taoist who is proficient in swordsmanship."

Xuan Chu thought to himself that the master was really young like a child, as if he was not a few years older than himself.

Xuan Chu smiled: "What kind of swordsmanship is Lu Dongbin practicing?" Who is his master? There are two versions in history. On the basis of research and research, we believe that the statements in the book "Hundred Questions on Taoism" are close to the truth. The book revealed that Lu Dongbin "had to meet Zhong Liquan, and Zhong Liquan gave the Great Dao Tianxuan Sword Technique, Dragon and Tiger Jindan Secret Method". This statement is very credible, because Zhongli Quan was originally a general of the Jin Dynasty five generations later, and he was full of martial arts. A general who knows martial arts teaches swordsmanship, no matter from which point of view, it is reasonable. In December 1981, the Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House published the Dictionary of Religion on page 401 of the introduction of Lu Dongbin, which also affirmed the above facts. ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "How did the master check so clearly?" ”

Chu Chu smiled: "I've already checked it, just kidding, I'm such a powerful master, can I check what his background is early?" ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "After Lu Dongbin learned the sword, he exercised hard, "More than 100 years old and childish, brisk walking, the world thinks it is a fairy." "Lu always carries a sword and travels all over the world, sometimes using the sword as a pen and writing poems. There is no record of Lü's personality in the history books, but from Lü's poems, we can get a glimpse of his resolute personality and hard-working spirit. He described it in "Sword Poems": "If you want to be sharp, dare to work hard, open the box in the early morning. The spirit in his hand is three feet of ice, and there is a spiritual snake on the stone. From the poem, we can see that Lu practiced superb swordsmanship and endured the hard work of cultivation. When he opened the box and took out the silver sword in the early morning, it made a clear sound like a "dragon's howl". Even if he was frozen three feet, the sword in his hand became more and more courageous, and he was heroic, slashing stones with his sword, and sparks flew away, leaving deep sword marks like snakes. As an unrestrained and unconcerned monk, he can get up in the early morning and practice swordsmanship in the cold wind and ice, and his strong and resolute character is admirable. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Master is a person who pursues......

Jade hairpin smiled: "People have pursuits. Lu Dongbin's pursuit can be summed up by the word "chivalry". The purpose of his hard practice of swordsmanship, as he wrote in the latter part of the poem, was to make "Jian's blood silently run out with the water, and the fierce ointment will disappear now." Eliminate the injustices of the floating world, and you will go to the nine heavens. ”
