Example 39 The flying head ghost of the five-step base mountain
(Thanks to Shunyun Daoyou for providing the case)
Introduction:
Many people have said that they want to listen to my master's case, and this time, as everyone wishes, I will quietly tell you the story of my master's time when he was a teacher.
Master also told me about this when I was very disobedient and angry, so that I could know how bad and hard their environment was before. At the same time, it also made me understand that no matter what you do, you must first be bitter and then sweet, and there is no white pie in the sky. The golden egg will never hit his head. If you want to live a superior life, you must first endure hardships, harsh circumstances, and worries about not being understood. Otherwise, if you drink a glass of sugar water first and then drink coffee, you will feel unusually bitter.
Preface:.
So in order for me to learn the Tao well, Master told me such a story.... It was in my master's fourth year when I was a child, and my master, of course, Shunyun was not present at this time, because there was no Shunyun at that time, haha! At that time, the economy was very backward, there were no mobile phones, no telephones, and no traffic, and every time we did something, we had to travel far to call people, because we had the Dharma that we couldn't do alone, so we had to find Taoist friends together. Master also said that when I was with my master, how could I be as hip-hop as I am now, because I used to be unable to talk when I ate, and I had to clean up after dinner, and I had to help my master do some miscellaneous farm work. body
One night, my master was having dinner at my master's house, and the whole table was quiet, and my master was also a person who didn't like to talk much, so there was no sound every time he ate. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and because it was a wooden door, the voice was extremely loud: "Bang bang bang, Master Tongfa, are you at home?" "Here I will use the "general law" to represent the name of my master. My master looked at my master and said, "Little Sage, go open the door." ”
Hearing the words of the master, the master ran without hesitation, opened the door and said hello, it was an old man, my master had never seen it, and he didn't talk much, so the master welcomed him into the house. When I came to my master, the master still sat down to eat, and the master said hello to the old man and asked him, "Is there anything you have to do with me so late?" ”
The old man panted and said, "My wife has passed away, I am from Wubu Jishan, I want you to take over the business, shall I give you a list?" ”
After hearing this, my master was shocked: "Five-step base mountain? It's a long way, aren't you tired? "(Master's meaning is actually an allusion to being too far away, and this has to run a long way to do the next thing, and it will be troublesome) Master looked at my master and said to the old man. Why don't I arrange for you to rest first and open the list tomorrow? ”
The old man shook his head politely and said, "No need, I started my journey at two o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's past seven o'clock, I'm in a hurry, can I rest in peace, you open the list!" After opening the list and booking the date, I rushed back to burn some paper for my wife. ”
After hearing this, the master didn't say anything more, so he opened the name and birthday of the deceased, as well as the names of the descendants of the Yang family, and then told the old man about the date, and after the old man heard it, he said thank you, said hello and left in a hurry. After taking the old man away, my master complained again: "Now I have to run away again." "It's no wonder that my master and uncle were two apprentices at that time, and this kind of thing requires the master and apprentice to do things together, and it is inevitable that they will be inseparable from these jobs. Shi Gong said: "Don't talk nonsense, tomorrow you go to the back mountain to find Ah Deng, after your senior brother comes back tomorrow, tell him to rest and go to Chibane to find Xiao Egg, and if he finds someone, he will come back immediately to help with the paperwork." "I was dumbfounded when I heard my master talk about this, what a long journey it was! Thinking about it, it was really not easy for Master and Uncle to do things at that time. On the second day, the master came back early, and the master told the senior brother according to the teacher's bus, and hurried away, almost five hours of mountain road to the back mountain, and found Ah Deng, Ah Deng was about the same age as my master at that time, and he was also a very high Taoist person, after my master told Ah Deng Gong about the matter, he hurried back, and when he got home, it was already more than five o'clock in the evening.
Because my uncle went to the distance relatively close, I stayed at my master's house early to handle the paperwork. When my master saw my master, he said, "Is it done?" ”
My master said, "Well, it's already done." ”
Shi Gong still buried his head in replying, then come and handle the paperwork together. The master didn't even rest, and he buried himself in hard work. This day passed so tiredly, and the next day, this day was the day to go to Wubu Jishan to spend the soul, the master and the uncle got up early to prepare, Ah Denggong and Uncle Xiao Ruan also came to the master's house early, and after the master got up, the master and the uncle jumped on the altar on the road. It was a one-day journey from my master's house to Wubu Jishan, and my master and uncle still walked with the jar, and I felt inexplicably sad when I heard this, and I felt that they had worked so hard to do a Dharma for others. I hurried along the way, and I didn't say anything along the way, and it was getting dark, and my master and his party also arrived at Wubu Jishan and found this household according to their address. The residents prepared some food early for my teachers to eat, and during the meal, the master said, "You two eat quickly, and go to set up the altar after eating." ”
The master replied tiredly: "Got it." And he continued to eat.
The master and uncle finished the meal as fast as they could, and then went out to set up the altar. It's still the same, after setting up the altar, open the altar. The two days of the ceremony went very well.
The next night, we were ready to go home after sending off the gods, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and after greeting the person concerned, we hurried home.
The way back was the same as the way I came, except that it was darker and the road was longer. When Master and his party walked to a waste yard on Wubu Ji Mountain, my master suddenly heard a conversation between men and women coming from the mountain not far on the left, first a gentle conversation, then into angry scolding, and then into a crying and scolding, the sound cut through the silent night, making the already dark night seem even more terrifying and exaggerated.
My master was even more suspicious when he heard it, and he was puzzled by why he always felt that the voice didn't seem to come from a person, he thought about it, and suddenly became a lot more timid, it is estimated that this is a ghost talking, but what the hell is this, how can he be so bold? So he opened his mouth to my master: "Master, listen to this ......"
"Shut up! Just listen to it, don't answer, if you do, her head will fly to your feet. Shi Gong replied angrily.
At that time, no one knew what would happen, and my master was interrupted by my master before he finished speaking, and when he heard his master's angry response, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more. Everyone continued to hurry, the voice was still with him, there was no intention of leaving, and there was no distance away, suddenly a male voice mixed with a female voice appeared, shouting: "The people of Wubu Jishan, wait for me to go together, wait for me to go together, I am lost, wait for me to ......." Shi Bo suddenly couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth to respond: "We are Taoists, please give way to the ghosts and monsters in all directions, so that we can go all the way." ”
When the master heard this, he turned his head angrily and shouted, "Confused." ”
Immediately ask my master to put the altar to take the seven stars, take the five thunders, take the water purification cup, and other magic weapons. When my master heard this, he immediately knew that something was going to happen, and he immediately did it. Uncle Shi pouted mischievously: "I'm not wrong...... Uncle Shi didn't finish speaking, a head that looked like a football and had long hair flew to Uncle Shi's feet, opened his mouth and bit down, and he didn't let go. When my master saw this, he was even more stunned, and thought to himself: How can this be? How can it be so bold? What the hell is this thing?
When Shi Gong, Ah Denggong and Uncle Xiao Ruan saw this situation, they immediately played the "Five Directions Technique" to suppress the Yin Qi from the Five Directions. Shi Gong said: "Little Sage, hurry up, take the five thunder talismans, sprinkle clean water in the talismans, turn the talisman ashes into the sword, and insert it into the center of the head of the flying head ghost." Hearing this, Master immediately came to his senses and said, "Master, are you going to kill him?" ”
Shigong said anxiously: "Don't be wordy, in wordy, yin qi enters your senior brother's internal organs, and your senior brother will not be able to live." ”
After hearing this, the frightened master immediately followed what the master said, and inserted the sword into the center of the head of the flying ghost, and the flying ghost let out a heart-rending scream, and disappeared with a bang. The senior brother fainted, and there was no choice but to take turns carrying him on his back, and then he was carried home.
When he arrived at home, Shi Gong used the Heaven and Earth Mantra to dissolve the yin qi on Shi Bo's body, put Shi Bo to rest, and went downstairs. My master asked, "Master, why did you kill so decisively just now, what the hell was that just now?" Senior brother, are you okay......" and a lot of other questions came out of my master's mouth. Master looked at my master and said, "Your senior brother is fine, don't worry, it's just that the yin qi is too heavy, and it hasn't diminished yet, just rest and rest." And the one just now is a flying ghost, also known as a headless flying ghost, the ghost head is made of stones on the mountain, it was originally headless, why did I kill the killer? This is because the flying head ghost has no kindness, only malice, and there are very few such ghosts, and some of them have long been unable to escape the thunderstorm. I didn't expect us to be able to meet, if we don't kill the killer, it means that we will harm more people, just now you hit the five thunder talismans in the seven stars, inserted in the middle of his head, and he is now almost completely destroyed, becoming an ordinary stone on the top of the mountain. ”
With that, he smiled and entered the room.
The master was very happy to hear this, and he smiled and went to sleep.
Follow-up: Some people say that we don't know how to catch ghosts, but that's all nonsense, because Zhengyi has a good heart and can't bear to miss a good ghost to get the Tao.
I almost burst into tears after listening to my master's story, I felt sad for Master's previous hard work, admired Master's previous bravery, proud of Master's kindness, happy for Master's sensibility, in short, Master's everything is worth learning from Shunyun, and I want to do better.
Friendly Reminder:
The so-called good and evil nature is universal, and good makes evil a saint. Although the words are simple, but it is difficult to do, this case tells us: how to see through the original rules of self-essence must be ignored and grasped, self-thinking must learn to broaden the vision, we must learn how to fear and stay away, we must learn to recognize the orientation of self-ability, not arrogant, we must learn how to self-cultivation, regulate the mind and body, and help ourselves to have many contradictions such as fortune, good and evil, good and evil, right and wrong, etc. But sometimes the unity of opposites is like the harmony of yin and yang, and we must learn to choose the meaning of the three words "cause and effect", "morality", and "filial piety", and I think everyone can understand it. But if you don't violate these three words, it is difficult, so sometimes, contradictions and opposites may be unified. How to perceive and think is a question that everyone needs to seriously consider in their future life practice, and what to think about varies from person to person.
