Chapter 436: Lu Dongbin (1)

Feng Taihe has a junior Taoist friend, who is Lu Dongbin.

Lu Dongbin is a collection of "sword immortals", "wine immortals", and "color immortals" in a prodigal form. It is the most appearing and deeds in the "Eight Immortals", and the legend about him traveling with a sword, helping the weak and the poor everywhere, eliminating violence and peace, is all over the north and south of the river.

However, there are very few temples of the other seven immortals, and only the "Lu Zu Temple" dedicated to Lu Dongbin is scattered all over the place.

Lu Yan has a good friend named Gou Ji, who has no money to study because his parents died and his family is poor.

Lu Yan knew that he was loyal and kind, and he was diligent and studious, so he took him to his home to live, live, and study for him.

One day, someone came to Lu Yan's house and said that he wanted to book a family affair for Gou Yan.

When Lu Yan heard this, he was afraid that Gou Ji would miss his future because he was greedy for the joy of bed, so he hurriedly pushed it back.

But after Gou Ji found out, he was very happy to marry him, Lu Yan had no choice but to agree, but put forward a condition: "On the first three nights of marriage, I will sleep with the bride for three nights." ”

Gou Ji was shocked when he heard this, and he was very angry, but he thought that for so many years, people have been providing for his accommodation, life, tuition fees, etc.

As the saying goes: "Send people under the fence, how can you not bow your head", saying that the cost of marriage has to be paid by others, after thinking about it, I still gritted my teeth and agreed.

On the day of the wedding, Lu Yan was overjoyed, but Gou Ji had no face to see anyone and hid aside.

In the evening, when the guests were gone, Lu Yan walked into the cave room and saw the bride sitting on the bed.

Lu Yan did not lift the bride's red hijab, but sat under the lamp and buried himself in reading, which was the case for three consecutive nights.

On the fourth night, Gou Ji walked into the cave room and saw the bride crying sadly, bowed his head and complained: "Why didn't Lang Jun go to bed for three nights, only cared about reading to the lamp, came in the dark and left at dawn, could it be that I can't do it?"

This question made Gou Ji stunned.

When the bride looked up, she was also surprised, why did her husband change someone?

After a long time, Gou Ji suddenly realized, stomped his feet, looked up to the sky and laughed: "It turns out that my brother is afraid that I am greedy for joy and forget to study, so as to motivate me!"

A few years later, Gou Jiguo lived up to his expectations and became a senior official.

After a few more years, Lu Yan's family was unfortunately hit by a fire, and all the family wealth was reduced to ashes.

I had no choice but to go to Gou Ji for help, my brother had not seen him for many years, and he was full of joy and sorrow, but after several months, Gou Ji only had good food and shelter, and did not say a word about taking shellfish coins and rebuilding his home.

Lu Yan was very angry, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Human affection is too thin, and it will change as soon as you have a broad face, and it will be all over the world!"

When he returned to his hometown, Lu Yan saw that his makeshift dilapidated thatched house had been replaced by a new tiled house.

When he walked into the house, he was even more surprised that there was a coffin parked in the courtyard, and his wife was crying out in pain.

Lu Yan was puzzled, so he asked, "Who are you crying for?"

The wife looked back and was terrified: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Lu Yan was even more surprised, and after inquiry, he learned that not long after he left home, a group of people came to build a house for him, and at noon the day before yesterday, a group of people brought a coffin, saying that Lu Yan had died of a serious illness in Gou Ji's house.

At this time, Lu Yan understood that it was all a ghost and a trick played by Gou Ji, so he used a sharp axe and slashed the coffin, and the coffin was split, but inside it was shell coins and cloth, as well as tortoiseshell letters.

Lu Yan picked up the tortoise shell and wrote: "Gou Ji is not a negative man, he sent Bei Yuan's house to build a house." You let my wife keep the empty room, and I will make your wife cry and break her bowels. ”

Lu Yan woke up like a dream and smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian, you helped me so hard!"

This is the story that the saying goes, "Gou Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people".

Lu Dongbin, the name Zhe, Yan, the word Dongbin, the road number Chunyangzi, self-proclaimed Hui Taoist.

Lu Dongbin has been familiar with the scriptures and history since he was a child, and some people say that he was an official. Later, because he was tired of the chaotic times of the military uprising, he abandoned the fame and wealth of the world, and came to Jiufeng Mountain on Zhongtiao Mountain with his wife to practice. He and his wife each lived in a cave, which was relatively promising, so they changed their name to Lü Dongbin; "Lü", which refers to the two of them, and the two of them are Lü, "Dong", which is the cave where they live, and "Bin", which means that people are guests in the cave.

Before he abandoned his official position and ran away, he gave away his family property to the poor, and did many good things for the people.

Legend has it that in the process of cultivation, he happened to meet the immortal Han Zhong Liquan and apprenticed to his master.

After cultivating immortals successfully, he traveled all over the mountain to relieve the diseases of the people, and never asked for any reward.

Lu Dongbin was kind and charitable all his life, helping the needy, and won the admiration of the people.

After he ascended, the people of his hometown built the "Lu Gong Ancestral Hall" for him to commemorate.

Lu Dongbin was originally an ordinary immortal who was not well known, but in the long-term folk circulation, it was like the rolling of a snowball, and the story became richer and richer, becoming a legendary figure in the style of arrows.

Legend has it that one year, Han Zhongli came to the town and met Lu Dongbin in the inn.

As soon as he saw Lu Yan, he knew that he was an immortal talent that could be created, so he thought of enlightening him.

As soon as Lu Dongbin was enlightened, he realized that he was willing to learn the Tao from Han Zhongli, but Han Zhongli excused himself and said: Your immortal bones have not grown, your ambition has not been firm, and if you want to transcend the world, you must be reborn for a few more lifetimes. ”

After he finished speaking, he drifted away, but Lu Dongbin was not discouraged, resigned and learned in seclusion, so Han Zhongli decided to try Lu Dongbin ten times.

One day, Lu Dongbin went out and returned home, but saw the whole family die of a sudden illness.

Lu Dongbin had already seen through the world, so he didn't mourn, but just bought a coffin to prepare for the body, but the family who died of illness came back to life again.

It turned out that this was Han Zhongli's first test for him.

Lu Dongbin occasionally got some things to sell in the market. The price has been negotiated, but the other party accepts the goods but suddenly regrets it, and is only willing to pay half of the price.

Lu didn't care, he simply didn't take a penny, gave the things to the other party in vain, and left with a calm face. This is the second test.

In the winter, a beggar came, leaning on the gate to beg for money, and Lu Dongbin gave it to him.

Who knew that the beggar was not greedy enough, and begged for this and that, and gave it slowly, so he scolded loudly.

Lu Dongbin not only did not get angry, but repeatedly made good words to accompany him, and the beggar left with a smile. This is the third test.

The fourth time, Lu Dongbin was grazing sheep in the mountains, and suddenly a big tiger ran out and chased the sheep.

When Lu Dongbin saw it, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly blocked in front of the sheep, willing to feed the tiger himself and save the sheep, but the tiger let him and the sheep go by himself.

The fifth time, Lu Dongbin lived alone in a thatched hut in the mountains to study, and suddenly a woman knocked on the door, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, she claimed to be going back to her mother's house, missed the way, and wanted to spend the night, Dongbin let her into the house to rest.

Who knew that this woman was restless in the middle of the night and hooked up with Dongbin in every possible way.

Dongbin's heart was like water, and he was not moved by lust at all.

The sixth time, Lu Dongbin went out on a trip to the suburbs, and when he returned home, his home had been stolen, and his family property was swept away, and his daily life in front of him could not be maintained.

Lu Dongbin was not angry or annoyed, he operated the medicine hoe and collected medicine to survive.

Who knew that when he hoeed down and dug out dozens of shell coins, he hurriedly covered the soil and took nothing.

The seventh time, on this day, Lu Dongbin went to the street to buy a few pieces of porcelain, took it back and looked at it, but it was jade, he hurriedly found the original store and returned the jade.

There was a crazy Taoist priest who sold medicine in the bazaar and said, "If you take my medicine, you will die immediately, but you will be able to attain the Tao in the next life." ”
