Chapter 296: Dao People's Walk
"I didn't expect that Fairy Lingyao's words were still so sharp, and now that the immortals are suffering, let's make it difficult for us to help intercept the teaching. ”
A voice full of qi came, which lifted the spirits of Burning Lamp, Nanji, and Ling Yao, within the Three Realms, there are very few immortals who can help break through the five-colored sky, if it weren't for the opponent's strength, the three of them would not be at a loss.
"You are...... May I ask which famous mountain where Brother Dao cultivates immortals?"
The person who lit the lamp didn't know who came, so he bowed down and asked.
"It turned out to be you, Yuanchen! I heard that the five of you found a Five Elements Mountain overseas, so you haven't returned for a thousand years. Ling Yao was overjoyed.
"We are just dry bones in the middle of winter, and the Yan family is hungry, so we can find a small island with five elements and settle down, that's all. "Yuanchen is not happy or sad, not angry but majestic.
"Brother Dao is too modest. The Antarctic Immortal said.
These five gray-haired people must be extremely morally cultivated guys.
With the arrival of Yuanchen, Zhenjikang, Feng Taihe, Lijian, and Hengtong, Shangranden and Antarctica saw a glimmer of hope.
"These five outsiders, known as the Five Congsheng, are the Great Luo Jin Immortals five thousand years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to praise them with the 'Five Great Immortals under the Mixed Yuan'. They are called Yuanchen, Zhenjikang, Fengtaihe, Lijian, and Hengtong. ”
"It turned out to be the legendary Yuan Zhenli Hengtai, who really admired the name for a long time, and I was fortunate to see it today, and it was worthy of its name. The Lantern Daoist and the Antarctic Immortal suddenly realized, and they hurriedly saluted again.
"There's no need to be polite, before the Great Road, they are all ants, so what is the difference between dignity and inferiority?" said Zhen Jikang with a smile.
Fairy Ling Yao said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have changed a lot. In the past, you would not have waded into this muddy water, and it didn't matter. ”
"It's not that we've changed, but once we step into the Holy Realm, we can no longer be indifferent to the affairs of the Three Realms, which is a deeper understanding of the Great Moral Practice. Ling Yao, after so many years, you are still in the Great Luojin Immortal Realm, and you can't make an inch of progress in cultivation, you must be very distressed, right?"
The sword has a calm face, as warm as spring breeze and rain, he is an unsheathed sword, once it is unsheathed, it will be fierce, sharp, and sweep in all directions.
"You mean my virtue is not enough?" said Fairy Ling Yao unhappily.
The sword smiled lightly: "This is your idea, overconfidence, it will always be your shortcoming, you must know that in front of the Great Dao, any living being is fair." ”
"You, who have always had low self-esteem, don't you see that you have always looked down on women? My current cultivation lags behind you, and you are finally qualified to laugh at me with confidence. Ling Yao said angrily.
The sword smiled and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”
There was a homeless man who walked into the Taoist temple and saw Tianzun sitting on the altar, and everyone worshipped and was very envious. The homeless man said to Tianzun, "Can I exchange it with you?"
Tianzun said: "Yes, as long as you don't speak." ”
The homeless man sat on the altar, and his eyes were noisy and chaotic all day long, and there were many seekers, but he never spoke.
One day, a rich man came. The rich man prayed, "May God grant me virtue and eternal happiness for my children and grandchildren." ”
After saying that, he kowtowed and got up, but his money bag accidentally fell to the ground.
The homeless man just wanted to open his mouth to remind, but he remembered the words of Tianzun's warning.
After the rich man left, a poor man came.
The poor prayed: "Please give me the shell coin, my family is seriously ill and is in urgent need of money!"
Kowtowed, got up, and he saw a money bag on the ground.
The poor man thanked again and again: "Tianzun has really appeared!" He picked up the money bag and left.
The homeless man wanted to say that it was not a manifestation, it was something that someone had lost, but he remembered Tianzun's words, so he had to keep silent.
At this time, a fisherman came in.
The fishermen prayed: "May the Lord of Heaven grant me peace, go out to sea without wind and waves, and return home safely." ”
Kowtowed, got up, he was just about to leave, but was grabbed by the rich man who came back, and the two scuffled for the money bag.
The rich man believes that the fisherman has taken the money bag, and the fisherman feels that he has been wronged and cannot tolerate it.
The homeless man couldn't stand it any longer, he shouted, "Stop!" and told them the truth, and a dispute was settled.
"Do you think that's the right thing to do?" the homeless man asked Tianzun.
Tianzun said: "You better go to be a homeless man." You think you are fair, but the poor do not get the life-saving money, the rich do not cultivate good virtues, and the fisherman goes out to sea to catch the storm and dies at the bottom of the sea. If you don't open your mouth, the poor family's life will be saved, the rich man will lose a little money but help others accumulate virtue, and the fisherman will not be able to get on the boat because of entanglement, and he will survive the wind and rain and is still alive. ”
The homeless man silently left the Taoist temple......
"Many things are as they should be. Wait for it to happen naturally, and the results will be better. But when facing reality, who knows what the result of things should be? Quietly watching the changes is a kind of ability! Going with the flow is a kind of happiness! And you women think that you are the savior and have a good heart, just like that tramp, you meddle casually, so that you have no virtue of the Heavenly Dao, so even if you have done a lot of self-righteous virtues, you have never been favored by the Great Dao, because in front of the Great Dao, you seem to be too promising!"
Fairy Lingyao didn't care, and also cited the matter of red pine nuts to talk about the sword.
The matter of cultivation is not a distant way to become an immortal and become enlightened, but it should be to do every little thing in life seriously, so that you can naturally get the result of becoming an immortal and becoming enlightened.
At that time, Chi Songzi also spoke to the Yellow Emperor like this, and their monastic behavior has also become a model for future generations.
According to the literature, Chi Songzi is also known as Chi Yuzi, he was a rain god in the Shennong period, with the power of going up to the sky and the earth with the wind and rain, and can jump into the sea of fire without the slightest injury.
Red Songzi lived in a stone palace in the Kunlun Mountains, a sacred place for Taoist immortals, and he often took a medicine called "water jade" to achieve the effect of dispelling illness and prolonging life, and taught this elixir to Shennong.
It is rumored that Emperor Yan's youngest daughter once followed Chi Songzi to learn the Tao together, and the two often went in and out of the world in the wind and rain, which can be called a pair of free immortals.
The red pine nut is burned by fire in Jinhua Mountain, and its ascension place is the red pine stream, so there is a red pine temple on the mountain to worship.
Some people believe that red pine nuts may be taken with pine wax and poria cocos.
It is precisely because of taking such immortal things that red pine nuts can become immortals, and they also leave a beautiful talk of "watching chess and rotten ke".
In the text, it is recorded that Akamatsuko also has an elder brother named Akatsuko.
According to legend, the younger brother once herded sheep in Tiantai Mountain, met a Taoist on the way, and under the enlightenment of the Taoist, the younger brother followed him to practice in the Shimur Mountain for 40 years.
Later, the elder brother searched around to find out where the younger brother was, and the two brothers met again on Tiantai Mountain.
The two sat cross-legged and reminisced about the past, and the elder brother asked the younger brother where he had driven the sheep to where he had gone when he had gone into the mountains to cultivate.
The younger brother got up and took the elder brother to the mountains, waved his hand to the mountains and white stones, and shouted "sheep rise", only to see that 10,000 white sheep occupied the mountains and fields in an instant.
Only then did the elder brother understand that the younger brother had become an immortal.
Since then, the two brothers have been cultivating together in the Stone Room Mountain, the elder brother named Akatsuko, and the younger brother named Akamatsuko.
Usually eat pine resin and poria cocos, which is the "water jade food" mentioned by later generations.
Later, one day, Akamatsu and Akamatsuko came to the top of the mountain to play chess, and a famous woodcutter came to this place because of logging, so he put down his axe and sat next to him and watched the two play.
Feeling hungry, the brothers gave him a date pit-like thing to hold in his mouth. After the quality is contained, I suddenly feel refreshed, and my intestines and abdomen are also much fuller.
After a game of chess, he got up and wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he found that the handle of the axe had already been rotten.
When I returned home, I saw that things in the world were already wrong, and I didn't know how many generations had passed.
It can be seen that he met the immortal by accident.
Since then, people have called Shimuro Mountain also known as Rotten Ke Mountain.
As a shepherd, Chi Songzi went out to herd sheep at the age of fifteen and was taken by the gods to the stone chamber of Jinhua Mountain to practice.
Later, he got together with his brother, took pine resin and poria cocos, and was still a boy at the age of 500, walking in the sun but not seeing his figure.
Later, when the brothers returned to their hometown, they saw that their relatives had already died, so they went into hiding.
He changed his name to red pine seeds, and now the red pine view of Jinhua Mountain is the place where he ascended to immortality.
It is recorded in the Taoist book that the red pine nut is called the left saint, and the Taoist gate respectfully calls it "the left saint Antarctic Nanyue real person Zuo Xian Taixu real person".
Chi Songzi is not only an immortal in ancient times, but also a king of Yanhuang and Qiyao Shun.
He later became the teacher of the emperor, and in the Taoist classics, he recorded several questions and answers between the Yellow Emperor and Chi Songzi, and was copied into words by later generations and passed down to the world.
One of the most well-known is the "Commandments in the Red Pine Nuts".
"The Commandments in the Red Pine Nuts" can be described as the earliest ancient book of Taoist persuasion. The scriptures mention: "Since ancient times, the wise men have set up teachings, stayed in the immortal scriptures, and persuaded people to be good, knowing their evils, and the beginning has been passed down through the ages, and the descendants are blessed." ”
This sentence sets the tone of this classic. Different from other books of persuasion, the "Commandments in the Red Pine Nuts" not only puts forward the view that people can only accumulate virtue and do good in order to last forever, but also records in detail the different results that will lead to good and evil respectively, such as from "for one good" to "for a thousand good" "out of the group of immortals", from "for one evil" "unstable" to "for a thousand evils" of "the descendants of the world change in shape, for the appearance of birds and beasts". The difference in the number of evils has very clearly and intuitively established a code of conduct for people to behave in a way that behas in a way that behas them.
In this text, good and evil are no longer abstract concepts from above, but have become small things that every ordinary person can do at any time in their daily lives.
This is also in line with the goal of the cultivation of the people of the Daomen.
The matter of cultivation is not a distant immortal and enlightenment, but should be a serious and serious do every little thing in life, so that you can naturally get the result of becoming an immortal and becoming a Taoist, and Chi Songzi said the same to the Yellow Emperor back then.
