Chapter 2 Apprenticeship Zhen Yuanzi
The Tao can be the way, and the non-constant way is also. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info name can be named, and the name is not constant. Nameless, the beginning of all things; famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire to see it; There is always desire, in order to see what it is. The two come out of the same place, and the same name is the same thing. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all eyes.
……
Faith is not beautiful, good words are not believed. The good do not argue, and the debater is not good. Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know. The saint does not accumulate, because he thinks that he has more and more with himself. The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of the saint is indisputable.
……
After reading the Tao Te Ching, which is no different from the later generations, Zuo Xiaoyou frowned.
I don't feel it.
……
There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also.
……
After reading the Nanhua Sutra, the sky will dawn, left and right go to prepare breakfast in a trance, take care of the vegetable garden in a trance, go to make vegetarian meat in a trance, and open a small stove for Qingfeng Mingyue in a trance, and finally rest in a trance when it is dark.
Qingfeng Mingyue and the other Taoist priests didn't notice Zuo Xiaoyou's trance, because he behaved no different from usual, only Zuo Xiaoyou himself knew that his soul and body seemed to have become two different individuals, obviously thinking about something else, but his body seemed to be entrusted, making him wonder if he was schizophrenic?
This situation lasted for a month, until Zhen Yuanzi returned.
"Master has returned to the mountain!" On this day, a white cloud floated in the sky above Wuzhuang Temple, and the auspicious aura came to the face, waking up Zuo Xiaoyou, who was in a state of schizophrenia.
"Huh?" Zuo Xiaoyou moved his hands and feet, and found that his body was controlled by himself again, and he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. But before he could rejoice, a figure appeared in front of him.
Zuo Xiaoyou was startled, took three steps back, and couldn't help but light up when he looked at it.
This person is a Taoist man, wearing a purple and gold crown, and he is worry-free. Shoes are placed under the feet and ribbons are tied around the waist. The body is like a child, and the face is like a beauty. The three whiskers flutter under the chin, and the crows fold the sideburns.
What a good one, there is a way to be true.
"This ...... Isn't it Zhenyuan Daxian in person? Zuo Xiaoyou asked cautiously.
The person who came was Zhen Yuanzi, he had been away for many days, but he went to Heaven to participate in the Pan Tao Society, who knew that the Heavenly Court was a mess by a monkey, and the Pan Tao Society did not open, and Zhen Yuanzi returned a little disappointed.
Previously, just when I drove the clouds to the sky above the Wuzhuang Temple, I noticed that there was a stranger in the temple whose soul and body were like separation.
Zhen Yuanzi is well-informed, and knows that this person is practicing and going crazy, and he has practiced half-dead, but fortunately, there are ginseng fruits in Wuzhuang Guan to suppress it, so that this person's soul is not completely out of the body, otherwise this person would have gone to the Netherworld Mansion to report.
Seeing that this person was not entangled in cause and effect, out of kindness, Zhen Yuanzi used the breath of a ginseng fruit tree to help this person's soul return to his body, and then appeared in front of him.
But when he got closer, Zhen Yuanzi was suddenly surprised, this person was obviously just an ordinary person, and even his cultivation was just getting started, or even in a state where he had not yet started, but his fate was like smoke, and he couldn't see the past and future at all.
With Zhen Yuanzi's generation, such a person can only be seen in those who have attained the Tao Fruit, but this person also has this situation, what is the reason?
Zhen Yuanzi became interested all of a sudden, and when he saw him asking, he nodded: "It's Poor Dao, who are you?" Why in my Wuzhuang view? ”
"Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." Without saying a word, Natou was about to kneel, but before he knelt down, he was supported by an invisible force and couldn't kneel down at all.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at him with a smile, and Zuo Xiaoyou looked helpless: "Master, the disciple is dedicated to the Tao, and I hope that the master will take him in." ”
"Hehehe." Zhen Yuanzi smiled: "Who are you and why did you come to my Wuzhuang Temple?" ”
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was more serious, Zuo Xiaoyou had no choice but to say: "Disciple Zuo Xiaoright, Huaguo people." How to get to Wuzhuang Temple...... The disciple didn't know, but the disciple was napping, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly appeared in front of the Wuzhuang Guanmen, and looked at the master Mingjian. ”
To Qingfeng Mingyue and them, he could pretend that he had amnesia, but in front of Zhen Yuanzi, he told the truth. In his opinion, you must not lie in front of the mighty, they have lived too long, they have seen everything, whether they are lying or not can be seen at a glance. Instead of lying and leaving a bad feeling, it is better to be frank and open about your origins.
It's just that he concealed the location and time and space of Huaguo, if Zhen Yuanzi could figure it out, he would admit it. If you can't figure it out, you can't blame him for hiding it.
Zhen Yuanzi listened to the word Huaguo, and really calculated secretly, but this calculation was completely blurry, but he confirmed that Zuo Xiaoyou was indeed not lying, if he really lied, then he would only show a piece of nothingness in his calculations, not a blur.
Nothingness means that there is no at all, but ambiguity means that there is, but his Taoism is too shallow to be calculated.
Seeing that there was still a position in the Three Realms that he couldn't calculate, Zhen Yuanzi was shocked and asked quietly, "Where is Huaguo?" ”
"I don't know." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "The disciple only knows that he is from Huaguo, but as for where he is in Wuzhuang Temple, he doesn't know at all. ”
Zhen Yuanzi nodded, in his opinion, it is normal for Zuo Xiaoyou not to know, but it would be strange if he knew. Now there are two questions plaguing Zhen Yuanzi, one is where is Huaguo? Where is the divinely created world? The other is this little left and right mortal, why does there be no cause and effect and past future?
As long as it is a person from the Three Realms, it should have a cause and effect with this world from the day of birth, and even before being born, the identity of reincarnation is also clear, and it is recorded in the book of life and death in the underworld, but Zuo Xiaoyou has no past and future at all, as if he appeared in this world out of thin air, which made Zhen Yuanzi puzzled, but he was also full of interest.
Coming from a world that can't be calculated, it's also a blur, this kind of person almost doesn't exist in the Three Realms, and even if it exists, it's all those old monsters at the level of saints, but Zuo Xiaoyou is just a mortal, but it's a blur, which is very interesting.
"What have you been practicing these days? Why did you go crazy? Zhen Yuanzi asked.
"Gone mad?" Zuo Xiaoyou was startled, a little anxious, and asked a little dazedly: "Dare to ask Master, is the disciple really going crazy?" ”
"Not bad." Zhen Yuanzi told him about his previous situation and said, "Do you feel that you can't help yourself?" Obviously thinking about something else, but the body doesn't listen. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded again and again: "What Master said is right, a month ago, the disciple read a Tao Te Ching, a Nanhua Sutra, and then it became like that, but not long ago, the disciple suddenly felt a breath surrounding the disciple, and then the disciple returned to normal. After a pause, seeing the smile on the corner of Zhen Yuanzi's mouth, he couldn't help but feel blessed, and knelt down again: "Disciple, thank you Master for saving your life." ”
This time, Zhen Yuanzi didn't stop him again, and let him kowtow respectfully three times, and then smiled: "Get up, get up." After Zuo Xiaoyou got up, Zhen Yuanzi said: "Since you call me Master, then I will accept you as a disciple." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou was overjoyed, and knelt down and kowtowed again: "Thank you Master for taking me in, Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”
"Hahaha, get up." Zhen Yuanzi is very happy, and she has the feeling of getting a new toy......
……
The news that Zhen Yuanzi accepted Zuo Xiaoyou as an apprentice was known by Qingfeng Mingyue and the other Taoist priests, and everyone was very excited and cried excitedly: "Great, you can eat the food cooked by your junior brother every day in the future." ”
……
"Master, why didn't you bring us some fresh fruit when you went to the Heavenly Court's peach banquet this time?" After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Zhen Yuanzi didn't have time to teach the left and right way, so he was complained by Qingfeng Mingyue.
Zhen Yuanzi scolded with a smile: "You two foodies, this time the peach will be messed up by a monkey named Sun Wukong, the master didn't even eat the peach, how can there be fresh fruit to bring to you." ”
"Monkey King?" Zuo Xiaoyou's heart moved, but Qingfeng Mingyue was puzzled: "Master, who is Sun Wukong?" ”
"Speaking of the Monkey King, it is a stone ......monkey born from a spirit stone that opened the world," Zhen Yuanzi told the origin of the Monkey King, and said: "I don't know where the Monkey King learned the skills of the seventy-two changes and somersault clouds?" He also got the East China Sea Dinghai God Needle, and his mana was extraordinary. This time, the Pan Tao Club was not invited, and he ruined the Pan Tao Club with hatred, and the Jade Emperor was afraid that he would not give up at this time. As a teacher, he didn't like to get involved in those miscellaneous things, so he came back early. ”
"I see." Qingfeng Mingyue frowned: "That Monkey King is really hateful, but he is a newcomer, but he is self-righteous and lawless, and he will definitely not please him this time." ”
Zhen Yuanzi smiled: "Then it's none of your business and mine." ”
At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou had a little more calculation in his heart: Sun Wukong destroyed the Pan Tao Society, and it seems that the Havoc Heavenly Palace is just around the corner. It's a shame, I don't have the slightest ability right now, and I don't have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Thinking of the peach of the heavenly court and the golden pill of the Taishang Laojun, the left and right are itching in their hearts. raised his head and looked at Zhen Yuanzi, and his heart was relieved: It's okay, there are still ginseng fruits. As long as I behave well, I believe Master will not be stingy with a ginseng fruit!
Since then, Zuo Xiaoyou has become the youngest disciple of Zhen Yuanzi, because Zuo Xiaoyou is a good hand regardless of whether he grows vegetables or cooks, so that Wuzhuang Guan is very satisfied, and he has also been loved by the whole view, all kinds of good things are constantly sent, Zhen Yuanzi also passed on his more advanced method of building a foundation, so that he did not soar into the sky like Sun Wukong, but laid a more solid foundation than Sun Wukong, and steadily improved.
After a few months, Wuzhuang Guan came to a heavenly envoy and gave Zhen Yuanzi an invitation: "The demon monkey has been captured, please invite Zhenyuan Daxian to go to the heavenly court to go to the demon slaying banquet." ”
Zhenyuan Daxian took the post: "Tired Angel Yuming Jade Emperor, the poor road will arrive later." ”
"Daxian is polite, Xiaoxian must bring it."
After the Heavenly Court envoy left, Qingfeng Mingyue came up: "Master, the Jade Emperor has invited you to a banquet again!" ”
Zhen Yuanzi smiled: "That Monkey King has been caught, and he is about to be beheaded." The Jade Emperor is going to kill the monkey Liwei. Uninteresting, uninteresting. ”
"It's really boring." Qingfeng Mingyue also felt bored, what was so good about killing a monkey demon, it was better to eat two more mouthfuls of food!
Zuo Xiaoyou's heart moved, and he asked, "Master, did the Jade Emperor only invite you to go?" The disciple has never been to the Heavenly Court, can you take the disciple to the long experience? ”
"Senior brother, are you going to Heavenly Court?" Qingfeng said: "Heavenly Court is nothing fun, there are many rules, and it is annoying to death." ”
"But the fairy fruit and fairy wine are not bad." Mingyue wiped the saliva overflowing from the corner of her mouth and said, "Count it out, the last time I ate immortal fruit and drank immortal wine, it was more than three hundred years ago. ”
One day in heaven, one year on earth, one year in heaven, three hundred and sixty-five years on earth. The Queen Mother holds a peach party every year on her birthday, but it is once every 365 years in the world.
Sometimes Zuo Xiaoyou can't understand why there is one day in heaven and one year on earth? This means that the immortals in the sky have cultivated for one day, and the monsters on the earth have been cultivating for a year. With a difference of three hundred and sixty-five times, aren't these immortals worried about being caught up by the monsters on the ground?
Could it be that the gods in the sky are always shouting to subdue demons and eliminate demons, because they are afraid that the demons on the earth will grow too quickly, so they can't wait to nip them in the bud?
"Although this time is not a peach club, it can be regarded as a make-up." Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, Qingfeng Mingyue and Xiaoyou will go to the heavenly court for a banquet with their teachers. After a pause, he explained to Qingfeng Mingyue: "When you get to the sky, you two take care of your junior brother, don't let other naughty fairies bully." ”
"Master rest assured, the safety of the junior brother is on us." Qingfeng Mingyue happily agreed, but the other disciples looked sad: "Senior brother, you are gone, who will cook for us?" ”
"Huh?" Zhen Yuanzi scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! Can't you just learn how to cook with Xiaoyou? In the future, if Xiao You retreats and cultivates, and does not come out for a few months, will you starve to death when you wait? ”
Zhen Yuanzi rarely loses his temper, so every time he loses his temper, the disciples are scared. Seeing that dozens of senior brothers were trembling, Zuo Xiaoyou hurriedly said: "Senior brothers, don't worry, I will prepare several months' rations before leaving, and you senior brothers will store them in mustard bags and eat them at any time." ”
As soon as they heard this, all the Taoist priests were overjoyed: The little junior brother is still thoughtful, and the little junior brother is so kind, we can't be stingy.
Thinking like this, dozens of senior brothers took a lot of good things and gave them to Zuo Xiaoyou. Zuo Xiaoyou received a bunch of gifts, and spent three days steaming a lot of vegetable buns, which was enough for three months of rations per person after dozens of senior brothers had divided them.
This Heavenly Court banquet will only take a few hours to come back, and it will only be two or three months in the world, and these vegetable buns are enough to support these senior brothers to satisfy their appetites in his absence.
As long as nothing else......
Seeing that his disciples were so friendly, Zhen Yuanzi was very pleased. Three days later, he took Qingfeng, Mingyue and Zuo Xiaoyou to drive the clouds to Heaven and went to the demon slaying feast. (To be continued.) )
