Chapter Twenty-Three: Turning the Face

The following are all translations I made at the time, and there may be some things that I can't translate clearly, but these are the only things I can see at the time.

Classical Chinese is not the same as modern Chinese, and it is usually very troublesome to translate a very simple sentence, because one word in classical Chinese often represents several words.

Many of the following contents have been added by me according to my thoughts after translation, and they are some answers that I don't know if they are right or wrong.

******************************

"Beihai Golden Silk, Shuqi Avenue, South Fish's Whiskers Sewing Silk, Buried in Yangyan, Baoke Yong'an."

******************************

I used the gold wire produced in the North Sea to write (presumably embroidered) the so-called avenue, and then sewed silk silk from the beards of fish living in the South China Sea (it is a fish of unknown species, and the name of the fish is not explicitly stated here).

If you bury this silk in the yang eye (either the place of yang or the place where the sun gathers), this silk will naturally be very safe and will not be destroyed or stolen by outsiders.

******************************

"Treasures cannot be eliminated, the Tao cannot be lost, heaven and earth exist, and immortality also exists."

******************************

This treasure cannot disappear, and the Tao must not disappear, (This Dao refers to the Heavenly Dao or the Dao of Immortality, or the Yang Restoration Technique mentioned in this content.) )

Heaven and earth exist, and immortality naturally exists.

******************************

"The disciple once said, where is the immortality?"

He replied: The sky does not know tens of thousands of zhang, the earth does not know tens of thousands of zhang, the heaven and the earth are so big, who knows it? Peng Zushou is 800, Qingyang Shou is more than 300, and Shi Shou is more than 100 immortals, which can live long and have their own way of immortality. ”

******************************

My disciple once asked me, "Where is immortality?" Why haven't I seen it? ”

I replied to him, "The heavens don't know how many tens of thousands of zhang high, the earth doesn't know how many tens of thousands of zhang deep, and the size of the heavens and the earth, who can know the way of the road?" Peng Zu lived for 800 years, Qingyang (I still don't know who Lu Dao is) lived for more than 300 years, and my master also lived for more than 100 years to become an immortal.

(There are many different records of Zuo Ci's longevity, but in the records of Ge Xuan, Zuo Ci's personal disciple, Zuo Ci lived for more than 100 years and became an immortal, so it is more consistent with those records of more than 100 years old.) )

(Note: Peng Zu, real name Peng Keng (keng first sound), Lu Zhong's third son, born in the period of Emperor Yao, experienced the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, lived more than 800 years old, and has "800 years of life, longevity and eternity." The legend. )

******************************

"The disciple said: What do you want for this way?"

"Answer: Wang Chan ancestor once said: Because of the mortal womb, people can not live forever, and the dead can return to the yang, get rid of their mortal wombs, get their way, and live forever."

******************************

The disciple asked me, "How can I find this way of eternal life?" Where can I get it? ”

I replied to him: "Ancestor Wang Chan once said that because of the mortal womb of the flesh, ordinary people cannot live forever, but after the death is restored, they can naturally live forever if they get rid of the mortal womb of the flesh and get the way of immortality. ”

(Note: Wang Chan ancestor, real name Wang Xu (xu third tone), called Xuanweizi, for the Spring and Autumn Period of the world's masters, the originator of the Zongheng family who left a name through the ages, or a strategist, a thinker, a representative of the soldiers, after living in seclusion in Qingxi Guigu, so he called himself Mr. Guigu, also known as Guiguzi, good at a lot of things, Feng Shui, stargazing, the art of war, self-cultivation, dispelling illness and longevity, just because he knows too many things, almost everything is learned, and later generations have respected him as "the master of all saints." ”)

******************************

"The disciple said: People die as corpses, and the soul returns to the earth, this is the way of heaven, the art of returning the yang, how to apply it?"

"Answer: People die as corpses, take the yang as a array, make the corpse turn into a corpse, protect themselves from the flesh, and return the soul to the ground, this is the laughing ear, raise its three souls with the array, raise its seven spirits with the array, and collect it into the jade."

"If the caster lives, the soul lives, and when the caster dies, the soul dies."

"Three years of spring and autumn, the spell of casting, the soul into the yang, the spirit into the yang, the death back to the yang, only three years."

******************************

The disciple asked me: "When a person dies, he will become a corpse, and the three souls and seven spirits will return to the underworld, this is the way of heaven, and how to use the magic of returning the yang?" ”

I replied to him: "When a person dies, he will become a corpse, with Yang as the array, (it cannot be explained here, Yang Qi, the place of gathering the sun, the land of Yang, or other special charms, I can't guess at all), let the corpse turn into the evil of Yang, naturally you can ensure that his physical body will not die, and the three souls and seven spirits will be returned to the underworld, this is just a joke, as long as before being classified into the underworld, use the formation to raise his three souls and seven spirits, and collect them in the jade."

(I can't guess what kind of jade is mentioned here, is it processed or unprocessed?) I can't explain that. )

"If the person who casts the spell is alive, then the soul that is nurtured will naturally live, and if the person who casts the spell dies, then the soul will inevitably be scattered."

"Three years later, it will only take three years to cast a spell to let the three souls and seven spirits enter the corpse that has turned into the evil of the yang, and return the dead to the yang."

******************************

"The disciple said: This is the Great Dao?"

"Answer: No, this is against the Tao, and will be punished by heaven."

"On the day of the feathering of the north peak of Mount Tai, the teacher once said: Death is the way, the return of the soul to the earth is also the way, and the return of the sun is against the way, and the heaven and earth do not tolerate it, and it is too late to regret."

Yu asked: Where is immortality?

"The teacher replied: Immortality is in the Tao, immortality is in the Tao"

******************************

The disciple asked me again, "Is this the Great Dao?" ”

I replied to him, "This is not the Great Dao, this is something that goes against the way of heaven, and it will inevitably suffer a catastrophe or retribution from heaven and earth." ”

"My master feathered into an immortal on the top of Mount Tai in the north, on the day of feathering, he once told me: death is a matter prescribed by heaven, after death, the three souls and seven spirits belong to the earth, it is also a matter prescribed by heaven, and returning yang is against the way of heaven, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and I regret it too late."

"Then I asked my master, and I asked him: Where is immortality?"

"Master replied to me: Immortality is in the Dao, and immortality is in the Dao."

(There are two strange points in this part, first, what Zuo Ci said "I regret it too late", what is Zuo Cigong regretting?) Could it be that he had used this kind of yang restoration technique? Second, Zuo Ci's answer to Ge Xuan after the most reluctance was even more inexplicable, immortality is in the Dao, this so-called Dao, is it the Dao of Heaven or? I couldn't guess. )

******************************

Seeing that my face was changing, the little Buddha was not in a hurry to talk to me, he was smiling and eating, and from time to time he held a cup and touched a glass with Big Tooth.

"Little Buddha, this"

"Don't worry, you can see the map in the box again." Little Buddha stuffed the pot fish into his mouth and said inarticulately.

Hearing this, I was stunned, subconsciously lowered my head, and looked at the sandalwood box containing gold silk and jade silk before.

I saw that there was a thin silk silk at the bottom of the box, which was really as thin as a cicada's wings, and my eyes were straight when I saw this thing.

"This is not a modern thing, right" I carefully took the silk in my hand and observed, the little Buddha nodded: "It seems to be something from the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Good fellow, this silk alone is worth a lot of money." I grinned, the silk in my hand was not only thin, but also extremely tough, which is estimated to be unattainable in modern times.

On the front of the silk, there is an ordinary landscape drawing, but in this landscape drawing, there are several places that are clearly pointed out with ink, which is very conspicuous.

I curiously turned the silk over and looked at it carefully, and I was dumbfounded.

There are only a few lines of words on the back of the silk.

"Immortals are noble beings, and there are no measurable people."

"The green light returns to the sun, and God gives eternal life."

"Ascend the immortal pond platform, hide the eternal life."

"Zuo Ci ascends to the immortal, stays in the world, passes through the Tibetan Avenue, and those who are destined to get it, and they will live forever."

I swallowed my spit, and for a moment, I remembered the coffins in the wreath shop.

The above words are exactly the same as the words behind this silk, which means that there must be a relationship between them.

This immortality, I'm afraid it's really real as Uncle Fat said

If not, how could there be so many records of that secret treasure from ancient times to the present?

No wind, no waves, I believe this sentence, really.

"Little Buddha, today's food is okay." I silently put the map and the silk back in the box, closed the lid, locked the lockbox, and placed it on the chair next to me.

Today I am not here to explore the secrets, let alone to receive information, but to make peace with the little Buddha.

Oh, I don't want to take any chances, to be precise, I don't want to die yet.

"Okay." Little Buddha said with a smile.

"I mean, this time." I shook my head, pretended to be embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "I'll tell you, I'm not capable enough, I'm afraid I'll have to delay you in doing this, or you"

Before I could finish speaking, I felt my brain sink and my face was pressed sideways against the table.

Well, just a moment ago, Xiao Buddha pressed my head on the edge of the round table, it hurt, I guess my face is blue, and my teeth are a little loose.

"You go on, I don't interfere with you." The little Buddha continued to laugh, and stood up the chopsticks for eating without any care, and knocked on the table: "It's not my style to shoot in the city center, so let's do it, it's okay if you don't do this, let me gouge out your eyeballs, it's over, don't you think?" ”

"Me"

"Why, are you kidding me?" Little Buddha's smile was frightening, no, it scared me, because I clearly saw him raise his chopsticks and poke them in my left eye.

"What the hell is wasting time, just stab you to death and I'll find someone to do it again, !!"
