Example 23: Zhongnan Visit
Example 23: Zhongnan Visiting Road (thanks to Ink Pupil)
I often wander around the world, looking at the scenery everywhere. As a pantheist, I am very fond of the famous temples and temples in various places. Famous temples all over the country, I will never let go of the passing by.
So in May this year, I passed by Zhongnan Mountain and went upstairs to visit the platform.
Louguantai got its name from the Western Zhou Dynasty, according to legend, Hanguguan ordered Yin to tie the grass for the building to watch the sky at night, see the purple air coming from the east, and later meet Lao Tzu to travel west into the pass, was welcomed into the grass building by Yin Xi. Lao Tzu wrote the "Tao Te Ching" here for 5,000 words, and built a platform to teach the scriptures in the high post of Lounan, leaving the place name of Louguantai. Lao Tzu pioneered a far-reaching school of Taoist philosophical thought. His ontological ideas, including extremely profound philosophical truths, are still valued today. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lao Tzu was relied on as the founder of Taoism, and Louguantai became the sacred place of Taoist ancestors, which can be described as famous.
It was a rough trip. In view of the BUG physique of where I go to the dragon king, there was a sudden rainstorm from Xi'an early in the morning, and I collected the umbrella when I boarded the long-distance bus, and the umbrella actually flowed black water! It is said that there was no rain in Xi'an for a month before, and I meowed. The rickety and panting car that could fall apart at any time easily pulled me to the fullest, and the GPS showed that it was 76 kilometers and drove for an hour, and I can only thank God for at least not having an accident. It was close to noon, and the rain had gradually stopped. A friend called me and she was still on her way to calm me down.
I stood at the gate of the scenic spot and waited for my friends. At this time, a large group of village women came up, all kinds of begging to lead the way to eat and accommodation, several women aimed at me, and said in a Shaanxi dialect: Women, come to our accommodation and eat, and ensure that it is cheap and affordable...... said a lot, my hands were not idle, pulling and pulling, which made people very unhappy, did I write on my face "I am a fat sheep and I owe slaughter"?
I knew that as long as I stood here, this group of people would haunt me, so I smiled and politely rejected their kindness, although they were annoying, but I knew that I chose this way of survival out of helplessness. The domestic scenic spots are the same, I believe everyone understands. Pushing aside the arms of a village woman who was endlessly entangled, I decided to wait for my friend in a different place. Raise your eyes and look around, there is a Taoist temple of a large scale not far from the roadside, and the door plaque is written with three big characters of "XX Palace". (The real name is hidden here, and local friends can know it at a glance)
Looking at the village woman who had been following me without giving up, I was happy that I could finally get rid of her entanglement. So he deliberately accentuated his tone: "Thank you, my friend hasn't arrived yet, I'll go shopping." After I finished speaking, I ignored her and walked briskly towards the Taoist temple, and the village woman followed me step by step and entered the palace gate.
The Taoist temple is an antique building, with a strong sandalwood fragrance wafting everywhere, and the pilgrims enter the main hall before and after, and the pilgrims take pictures in twos and threes.
The village woman persistently followed me in various ways to lead me into the front hall, and her perseverance and tenacity made me very helpless, until you chased me and hid for N circles, and the village woman probably also thought that I was determined to ignore her, so she dispelled the idea of pestering me and turned her to another pilgrim.
I let out a long breath, now I am finally free, and my mood is gradually getting better, and at the same time, I also have a question in my heart, like this kind of pestering pusher, does anyone dare to stay in the place they introduced? At least when I saw her thick arms, the first thing I thought of was Sun Erniang in the Water Margin Black Shop.
My friend hadn't called me, and I wasn't in the mood to see the Taoist temple here in order to get rid of the village woman, but now I decided to take a closer look, so I walked to the apse.
The incense burner in front of the hall is full of smoke, and many pilgrims are kneeling on the futon to worship Laojun and pray for protection. There was a Taoist chief standing next to me who stared at me for a long time, and I knew that they were all cultivators, and it was not surprising that he could see me, so he didn't bother with him.
Just as I was entering the hall from the left, I wanted to go over and salute the old gentleman. At this time, the young Dao Leader, who had been staring at me for a long time, suddenly spoke: "You have cultivated well, you are full of spiritual energy, and the gate of heaven is about to open." ”
I didn't care, what he said was nothing strange, and a little bit of cultivation could be seen, and without looking back, I continued to walk towards the statue of the old monarch.
"You're doing well, the gate of heaven is about to open!" He repeated it again behind me. I turned around, and he was looking at me with a solemn face.
"Daoist, did you say me?" I asked in surprise, pretending not to know.
He stared at my Yin Tang and looked at me again, as if he came back to his senses, and said, "Female layman, you are lucky today, and Poor Dao will give you a word." ”
"Hey, hey!" My heart was happy, and I was bored, listening to what he had to say to pass the time.
To tell the truth, I have seen a lot of strange people over the years, this Taoist chief spoke half-implicit and half-revealed, but there was a bit of a profound appearance, I wanted to see what it was, to see if he was really capable, or blind.
"Dao Chief, since this is the case, please give the Dao Chief!"
"Please come with the poor!" After speaking, he waved the dust in his hand and led the way in front.
So I followed him into the hall, and when I entered, I found that there was a statue of Lao Jun in the center, and an incense case was placed on the left and right. On the right sat a black-faced Taoist leader, whispering to a pilgrim.
The Taoist who accosted me sat down behind the incense table on the left, motioned for me to sit opposite, and then continued his half-revealed temptation while observing me.
Then he said something about my situation, and eight out of ten sentences can be accurate, and the most critical sentence is to sell off.
I knew in my heart that I had met a wolf in a robe. In broad daylight, he can't help me, it seems that the golden cicada is out of its shell, and it has to be calculated.
I know that you can't be careless when you encounter this kind of Taoist liar, this kind of person has some cultivation, and even more cultivation is quite high, if you debunk him in person, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, watching him talk endlessly, I decided to perfunctory him.
"Dao Chief, you said that you want to give me a word, what do you mean?" I asked deliberately.
In order to win my trust in the other side, he began to show his "magical powers".
He glanced at me and pretended to be profound: "Female layman, please wait a moment!" After speaking, he took three pieces of white paper from the incense table, took the gold water with a pen, wrote a number on my back, and then covered it with his hand.
He smiled and asked, "Can the female layman tell the poor Dao when you were born?" ”
After I answered, the Taoist priest smiled with satisfaction and lifted the paper, it was my birthday.
Then he changed a piece of paper and wrote a number on my back and asked, "Female layman, what floor does the family live on?" ”
I knew that this Taoist priest might really have some ability, so I deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked him suspiciously: "Which family do you say I am, Daoist?" ”
He paused, looked at me, and mused, "That's the one who lives now." ”
I said, "Oh, the fourth floor! ”
The Taoist priest lifted the piece of paper again, and there was four on the paper.
I laughed, pretending to be completely adored by him, and said, "The Taoist is so powerful, it's really accurate!" ”
He smiled slightly, the look in his eyes was very satisfied, so he repeated the old trick, wrote the number on the paper again, covered it with his hand, and asked me: "What is the tail number of the female layman's ID card?" ”
I said with an innocent face, eight.
The Taoist priest proudly handed me the piece of paper, which of course was eight.
When I saw the numbers written on his paper, I couldn't hold back a smile and scolded in my heart, your sister, my sister reported it is fake! Fight me, huh.
Of course I couldn't laugh out loud and let him find out that I had seen through his tricks, so I pretended to be convinced and continued to listen to him and say that I wanted to see how good this guy really was.
Next, as I expected, the Taoist priest tried to fool me about how noble my face was, and I nodded frequently, expressing my joy.
Just when I was showing great piety, he changed his words, sank his face, sighed and said: "The female layman is a rich and noble life, but there are many life shortages in the ointment!" ”
Next, he told me a lot of life shortages, which would affect my luck, etc., and I pretended to be very scared, and quickly asked him, "Dao Chief, how is this good, you have to help me!" ”
He nodded, closed his eyes and said: "The female layman is also a good fortune, I met me today, and it can be regarded as having a fate with Taishang Laojun, Poor Dao is serving Laojun for many years, if you want to change whose life is lacking, it is not difficult in the eyes of Poor Dao, as long as Poor Dao uses mana, draw a talisman to ensure that you are flying and prosperous, and your life is full!" However, the female layman should know that it takes a lot of cultivation to draw the poor road talisman, so please rejoice in the merits. ”
Before I could ask how much, he spoke, "The so-called ninety-nine is one, and all the simplicity is true, this talisman takes ninety-nine eighty-one days to fill your life, so the female layman should follow eight hundred and ten yuan in order to complete the merits." ”
At this point, I looked at the time, and knew that there was nothing to talk to him about, this guy was really a wolf in a robe, insatiable, and only a few evil arts, fooling ignorant pilgrims.
However, I couldn't expose his shamelessness on the spot, and after thinking about it, I stood up and borrowed a few tourists to enter the temple to worship, and quickly intercepted his words, not letting him continue to speak, and told him: "I understand the kindness of the immortal master, but my friend is waiting for me, let me kneel down and worship Laojun first, and come back another day to repay my vow!" ”
As he spoke, he quickly stood up, bowed three times to the statue of Lao Jun, took out ten yuan and put it in the merit box, and walked away.
As I left, I saw the look of anger on the priest's face, but soon he turned his gaze to the pilgrims who had just entered, I knew that this guy had begun to deceive the pilgrims, but I couldn't say anything, after all, this was their territory, and it was a national tourist attraction, and I was helpless.
I can only lament that some so-called cultivators are actually wolves in Taoist robes, whose deeds will be ruined and their hearts can be punished!
Friendly reminder: In today's era of material flow and impetuousness, many people sacrifice their faith and personality when they see wealth.
Friends, don't think that those who wear monk's robes and robes are masters, and don't think that they are masters who can understand two thaumaturgy, they may be gods. Don't think that masters with advanced cultivation are directly proportional to their character, they may be evil masters, and they have a high level of deep cultivation, but they harm others and themselves, and such things are not uncommon in life.
Glance at a glance you can say that the head is the Tao, this is not uncommon, there are many people who understand this industry, do you know Mai physiognomy? Therefore, friends must protect their personal privacy, and do not give their personal belongings to others at will. Of course, don't overdo it, lest you pass by the real master and leave regrets, because in reality, most cultivators are still very virtuous and kind-hearted.
Entering the Tao and cultivating is about a fate, friends should not be anxious to join the teacher, the Dharma God thinks, if you don't have a relationship with the Tao, wouldn't it be good to be a happy and happy ordinary person with peace of mind?
