Chapter 66 On the Tao and the Wind
Bai Xuemei said on the side: "There should be a high-ranking person living in seclusion here. ”
I glanced at her and was about to speak. Suddenly, an ethereal voice came from his consciousness and said: "It's rare for two Taoist friends to visit, and Fufengzi is justified." Shocked, I saw a person wearing a cyan robe, with a bun on his head, and flying in the air with his hands behind his back.
At the end of the voice, the man came to us with his back to the cliff. When I looked closely, I saw that his face was thin, a pair of dark and smart eyes under the sword eyebrows, and a goatee on the top and bottom of his thin and moderate lips.
"Bai Xuemei has seen her predecessors."
"Fenglin has seen his predecessors."
He looked at the two of us and said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the two Taoist friends don't need to be polite, please follow the poor Dao to look at it." After speaking, he turned around, stepped into the void of the valley, and walked towards the opposite side. It didn't fly across like it did here.
Bai Xuemei and I glanced at each other, not knowing his intentions, and then I stepped forward and stretched out my feet to try, but I didn't step on anything at all. And this Fufeng Dao person, who has already walked into the void, seems to sense the predicament of the two of us, and the voice sounded again in his consciousness, it is a seven-word poem.
"Thinking about cause and effect before and after, when can I walk? But to see the illusion through, it is really as usual to follow your heart. ”
This Fufeng Daoist seemed to be igniting the two of us, and turned his head to look at Bai Xuemei, who had already closed her eyes and stood in understanding. I also turned my head, closed my eyes, and repeated the poem in my mind.
People plan ahead, have concerns, assess risks, and be cautious, and of course all of that is understandable. But if you are delusional all the time, afraid of failure, afraid of the consequences. After all, it will not put what you think into practice, everything is just an imagination.
For example, when you see a centipede, you instinctively wonder if it will be poisonous. If you catch it yourself, you won't get bitten and you won't get sick. But if you don't catch it, will it crawl around at night? So hesitating, scared and worried, until the centipede left on his own, or someone else helped you.
I want to cross over fear, cross over delusions. You need to look directly at your heart and look directly at your goal. Throw away all the illusory imagination that has not yet happened, and see through the cause and effect of success or failure. In this way, the heart can be as usual, follow the original intention, and plan the action.
I don't know how long it took, but after I understood the poetry literally, I seemed to grasp a little bit of the key in my heart. It took me a while before I understood. The meaning of this poem refers to human behavior, but deeper it implies the cultivation of breaking through the changes of yin and yang.
Once you figure it out, your heart suddenly opens up. Immediately opened her eyes, only to see that Bai Xuemei was already walking lightly, walking in the void. I smiled slightly, thinking that her understanding was no worse than my own.
Then take a step on the right leg, walk as usual, practice as usual, the yang consciousness refining body in the body runs on its own, and the spiritual energy overflows from the whole body, echoing with the mist in the mountain stream.
The mind is the same, looking down at the graceful figure of Bai Xuemei in front of him, as if he is strolling and tailing, as if he is wandering around at will. Before I knew it, I had already walked through the mountain stream, and when I came to the opposite Taoist temple, Bai Xuemei and Fufeng Dao people were also smiling at themselves.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Nan Shengzi thanks Daoyou for enlightening the knack." I walked forward, holding the Taoist courtesy, calling myself the Taoist, and telling each other frankly.
"Hahahaha, Nansheng Daoyou don't have to say thank you, it's fate for me to see each other, come... Come with me. He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said indifferently. After finishing speaking, he flicked his right sleeve to make a gesture of inviting in, and the originally closed door opened.
"Please." Bai Xuemei and I said each other, and then she took the lead in stepping over the threshold and walking in.
Although this Taoist temple is not big, there is still a wooden and simple plaque hanging on the lintel, but I see the three words "with the wind" written with a brush. There are also couplets written on both sides of the wooden gate.
Escape from the world and cultivate, let the clouds in the mountains go to the clouds, and the clouds come and go; Welcome the guests and realize together, watch the flowers bloom and fall in the world, and the flowers fall and bloom.
Walking into the view, what you see is the statue shrine of the Holy Ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty. But there are no tributes, no incense and candles. On the left side of the same room is a square table with a porcelain pot and teacups. On the right side of the same room, there is a wooden bed and two boxes, there is no futon on the bed, only a futon.
He led us to the left side and sat down, and said, "There is only homemade camellia in the view, and two Taoist friends can taste it." As he spoke, the teapot, which had no heat, boiled when he took it in his hand, and then poured green tea from it into the cup.
"Fufeng Daoist, can you inquire about it?" I took a sip of tea, feeling slightly bitter and sweet, and then spoke.
"Nansheng Daoyou, but you want to ask about the people who are missing in this mountain?"
"Yes, that's why we both came here."
"Hahahaha, they were taken by me."
I felt a pang in my heart and asked, "I don't know why friends are embarrassed by two mortals?" ”
"Nansheng Daoist friends are not in a hurry, this matter needs to be explained slowly from the beginning." Fufengzi took a sip of tea and continued slowly.
Thirty years ago, Fu Fengzi looked for a place to practice, and came to Shengtang Mountain by chance. After the exact location of the photo, the formation began to be constructed. One afternoon, when Fufengzi was resting, a mountain monkey came to his side.
At first, the two did not intersect, and Fufengzi still practiced alone and built a meditation array alone. But as the days went by, the little monkey became acquainted with him, and one monkey lived with each other.
A few years later, the little monkey often watched Fufengzi practice, and he also learned it in a good way. Fufengzi thought it was interesting, so he took the initiative to point it out. However, after all, the orcs are very far behind, unless they have great magical powers, and a great opportunity allows them to open their spiritual intelligence, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve success after all.
Thirty years later, the little monkey has long since become an old monkey. Although he never learned the slightest bit of Taoism, he unexpectedly lived for decades longer. And Fufengzi has already regarded him as his friend, and he knows in his heart that he is approaching his old age, and he is also mentally prepared.
The world has changed, although he has lived in the mountains for a long time, but the changes in the Shengtang Mountain, he has long been aware of the changes. The world has gradually stabilized from the chaotic political situation, and people's lives have begun to improve, and with it comes fun.
Although Shengtang Mountain is located in a remote area, it is still favored and developed as a scenic spot. As the road was built, houses were built at the foot of the mountain, and the reputation gradually spread. More and more people are coming here for sightseeing.
In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Fu Fengzi was still practicing in the view, and suddenly his mind fluctuated, as if something big was about to happen. He immediately stopped practicing and went out to find out the reason. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the people in this mountain who are related to him are nothing more than old monkeys.
When he couldn't find a figure in the old monkey's residence, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. At this moment, an explosion caught his attention, and then he hurried away, and when he arrived at the place, he saw a cruel scene.
Two young men, armed with shotguns and one of them grabbing the old monkey's leg with the other hand, were walking down the mountain. And the old monkey was not out of breath at this time, but fainted in pain, and the blood flowing from the wound flowed down the stone steps.
The truth of natural selection, Fu Fengzi naturally knows, but now in the era of non-prey, not to mention the emotions of the old monkey and himself. In his senses, he also heard the two laughing and talking: "This monkey looks a little old, I don't know if my brain is good or not." ”
"I don't know, haha, I'll see if I try it at night."
Fu Fengzi had quickly come behind them at this time, and without thinking too much, the aura was released to impact the two of them. And rescued the old monkey, and after controlling the blood flow, fed him a pill.
Then he looked at the two people who fell to the ground, and there was inexplicable killing intent in his heart. Everywhere in his senses, the shotgun flew up in the air, turning into powder and scattering. In this way, the mood was calmed down a little, and then the aura enveloped the two and left.
After returning to the Taoist temple, settle the old monkey. And threw the two of them in a hanging grotto under the cliff in front of the door, planning to lock them up for a few days, and wait for the old monkey to recover and figure it out before dealing with it. Two days later, I visited with Bai Xuemei.
After listening to Fufengzi's narration, Bai Xuemei and I were speechless for a while. I've actually heard about eating monkey brains for a long time, but I've never seen it. I also know that monkeys belong to protected animals, and ordinary people don't want to eat them, even if they catch one, it is a crime.
"Fufeng Daoyou, these two people deserve it. I wonder how the old monkey is doing now? Shen Yin half 晌 (shǎng), I asked.
"Those who cultivate the Tao should understand that everything in the world has a fate, and the old monkey is close to heaven, but he has suffered from this unwarranted disaster. Alas! I have to think about it, I have to think about it. Fufuzi said.
Fu Fengzi's words made me unable to understand for a while, but his cultivation realm can far surpass his own, and the masters of this realm are already lucky that Bai Xuemei and I are not embarrassed, not to mention that the other party treats each other politely, and even instructs me and Bai Xuemei in the cultivation of the key.
If you want to come to Fufengzi and live in seclusion for many years, ordinary worldly things can't compensate him, and he won't ask for any compensation. Since he asked him to think carefully about the fate of this matter, let's think about it.
"Fufeng senior, the little woman has something unclear, can you ask?" Bai Xuemei said.
"The white fairy doesn't have to be polite, just call me to help Fengzi, feel free to talk about any questions." Fufengzi stroked his beard and said.
"Why do you want to guide me and the two of you to practice?" Bai Xuemei also changed her tone and called him a fellow Daoist.
"Haha, I can't talk about pointing, but I just say some of my own experience in practice. This view has been built since it was built, but there are two visitors, two are the third time, and the Taoist gate is wonderful to three. Moreover, when I first met, I felt that the two of you were in the same level, which was really rare, and it also had the meaning of guidance. Later, I saw that the two of you had an epiphany one after another, and I naturally gained it. Thinking about this person's introduction, the two had an epiphany, and the three of them talked, wouldn't it be a fate? ”
Hearing him say the reason, I suddenly felt something in my heart again, but I couldn't grasp the key. On the side, Bai Xuemei bowed her hand again, and I did the same. Then I spoke: "Fufeng Daoyou's move has three meanings for the two of us. ”
Fu Fengzi stroked his beard again, and when he heard what I said, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his eyes, and he asked with interest: "Hundreds of people have different meanings, I don't know the meaning of the three layers of Nansheng Daoyou, what are they?" ”
I put down the teacup and replied, "A seven-character poem by Fufeng Daoyou contains two layers of artistic conception. One is naturally to point out the yin and yang between me and the white girl, and the other is ... ”
"Hehe, Taoist friends, but it doesn't hurt to say, sitting and talking about the Tao should not be afraid of right or wrong, everyone is right to discuss together."
"I have a vague feeling that this poem seems to contain the next practice method. I don't know if there is a deviation in my feelings? ”
Bai Xuemei looked at me and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. Fu Fengzi drank all the tea in the cup, poured it full for the two of us and himself again, and said as he poured: "Nansheng Daoyou has a good understanding, this poem does have a trick to the next method, and it is also the situation I am in now." However, it is too early for the two of them to say it now, and when they reach the cultivation, they will understand the artistic conception. Nansheng Daoyou still continued to talk about this third layer. ”
"The third is related to the whole thing, which is what Daoyou just said." As I thought about it, I was still vague about the overall concept.
Bai Xuemei looked at me and Fu Fengzi, and then continued: "Acquaintance is fate, and getting along with each other is law." The fate grows with the law, and it also disappears with the law. ”
Hearing Bai Xuemei's words, I thought to myself. Fu Fengzi also spoke: "Yes, the fate law is related to each other and affects each other. It seems to be unrelated, but it has a close impact. ”
"Is there a fate in this darkness?" I asked as I took a sip of tea.
"Nansheng Daoyou's question is too empty! The believer thinks that his fate exists and does not need proof. The unbeliever sees the evidence, and does not believe in fate. If you seek to verify fate, don't you believe in fate? Otherwise, why bother? Fufuzi replied.
"What Fenglin said should refer to the fate of the law, if you see the cause and know the effect, God calculates the destiny of heaven." Bai Xuemei said.
I nodded, feeling that they were both right. Fu Fengzi smiled slightly and said: "Mathematical calculations of the Mandate of Heaven, seeing the cause and effect of course exists. Just as we all know that when we are hungry, we eat a full meal. When thirsty, drink water to quench your thirst. If you take a few more steps, you can deduce the future destiny with the current situation. And what a practitioner feels and sees is even more than ordinary people, so he can naturally speak with a golden mouth, and his words must be true. ”
Fu Fengzi took a sip of tea, and then said: "Know that all these calculations are based on the past and look at the future form. Since the person who has been counted will continue to be as he was in the past, he will be able to speak. If you compare the calculations of a peddler, by the calluses on his hands, the way he speaks, the clothes he wears, and the deep investigation, it can be inferred whether he will be able to make a fortune in the future. If the fortune teller only says that the peddler will make a fortune in the future, it is naturally inappropriate and it is a lie. Therefore, the general fortune teller must say, "You should be as diligent as before, and you will surely make a fortune in the future." ”
"Isn't this all about stillness and movement?" I suddenly realized and spoke.
Fu Fengzi asked with interest: "What is quiet, what is movement?" ”
"The past is static and cannot be changed. If the fortune teller only speaks of the fruit of stillness, then the cause of movement is buried. When you hear that you will make a fortune in the future, you are likely to give up your efforts and wait for the future. But the fortune teller added that you should be as diligent as before, and the cause of motion was removed, and the hawker could continue to concentrate on the previous stillness, so that it would be more consistent with the results of the calculation. I explained what I thought.
Fufengzi stroked his beard and seemed to think about my words. After a while, he smiled and said, "Hahahaha, Nansheng Daoyou's perspective is really different. Yes, people in this world like to be static, thinking that their environment will not change, and they do not want to change. Because the new environment needs to be adapted, and adaptation requires change and movement. So the fate of most people can be calculated. ”
