The climate change in the mountains is great, it is very cold in the morning and evening, but the air is very clear, smoky, and the birds are singing green, a paradise

When he found his grandfather, he was sitting leisurely on the bench, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, and his eyes looking ahead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I came quietly and sat down without a squeak.

"Ah Lang! Come with me. "Waiting for my grandfather to finish a cigarette, he finally took care of me.

I followed behind, went up to the bamboo building, and walked into my grandfather's own study.

Grandpa personally made me a cup of bitter tea, and he would boil the water with the overnight tea.

"Ah Lang, it's been a long time since our grandfather and grandson have had a good chat together." Grandpa sighed, a little reminiscing; "I remember back then, when you were young, you loved to listen to my stories. Actually, I'm glad I told you. ”

"Yes, those weird stories are indeed tempting, more exciting than TV, grandpa, if you write a book, you will definitely sell well." I replied with a hippie smile.

"Hehe..."Grandpa put down the teacup, looked at me fixedly, and said very seriously: "Ah Lang, if you say that the stories that grandpa told you back then are true, do you believe it?" ”

Grandpa's eyes were expectant, worried, and a little helpless.

"Grandpa, this..."

Grandpa, don't be funny, there are a lot of legends of gods and ghosts in the play. But in the real world, how can it exist, I'm an atheist.

"Okay, actually, I still don't understand those thoughts of yours? Grandpa will still be that nonsense-filled magic stick? Grandpa preemptively said: "You read civilization books, and now you are studying Western medicine, and modern science and technology are developed, there is indeed reason to doubt, hey... I don't have any doubts. ”

"Grandpa, what questions do you have?"

"The more you know, the more doubts you have." Grandpa looked up at the beams of the house, his eyes showed a rare cloudiness, and he slowly spoke: "I entered the Taoist family at the age of ten, and now I have passed the age of antiquity, and I will soon enter the old age." He has been learning the Tao for almost 70 years. I also had doubts at first, but it was just a doubt, because I also read the books of saints since I was a child, and I didn't believe it. ”

"But why is Grandpa..."

Yes, grandpa has always been a wise man, and he has studied poetry and books. But he has been in Taoism for almost 70 years, and he has always specialized in Taoist culture, becoming more and more obsessed. Can't you see the real or fake grandpa?

"Why do you continue to learn the Tao?" Grandpa smiled bitterly, as if talking to himself. He shook his head and was silent for a while, then looked at me and said with a resolute expression: "Because of the inheritance." ”

"Taoism is an academic, and Taoism is an art?"

"No, Taoism is indeed an academic discipline, broad and profound, and has far-reaching influence. Taoism is not art, it has no appreciation value, and only when it takes time can you appreciate its unique beauty. If I had to say anything, I would say that the priest is a folk medicine that is about to be lost. Grandpa's face was pale and regretful.

"Can it still heal? I think it's like a psychiatrist. "I can think that in addition to religious beliefs and national traditions, Taoism seems to only be a psychological comfort for people.

Taoist priests are just disciples of Taoist culture.

"Everything has a law, cause and effect must be connected, there is a fixed number in the dark, if I learn the Tao for inheritance, then now I am trying to seek, but only for an answer."

"What's the answer?" I asked.

"You really want to know?" Grandpa didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, and I nodded hurriedly. Grandpa said slowly: "I have a third apprentice, four heirs, the eldest apprentice is congenitally intelligent, but he has no charitable heart, only for money, fame and fortune, which is not suitable." The second apprentice has a relationship with the Tao, and the practice is twice the result with half the effort, but he is disrespectful to Taoism, and he leaves the teacher with a little fur. Although the three apprentices have perseverance and perseverance, they are too honest, brainless, and helpless. ”

"And what about one more?" I have indeed heard about these three people about grandpa's apprenticeship, and I have also seen grandpa's third apprentice, Da Kui, who is indeed an honest person.

"And then there's your fifth uncle." Grandpa hated that iron could not become steel, and gritted his teeth and said: "Your fifth uncle is like you, he has been smart since he was a child, he is talented and intelligent, and he learns the Tao quickly. It's a pity that he has a bad mind and often does things that hurt heaven and reason, do I dare to teach him? ”

"What did the fifth uncle do to make you hate him so much?"

Talking about the fifth uncle, the grandfather's face was extremely unsightly, and he seemed to regret teaching the fifth uncle to cultivate.

I'm very curious, the fifth uncle and I are familiar with each other, because the age difference is not much, but I don't know that he is also a disciple of my grandfather. I know that the fifth uncle has been very stubborn since he was a child, causing trouble, and he is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

I haven't heard of him doing anything that people and gods are angry about, why does grandpa regret teaching him so much?

"You'll know these things later, and now you'll hear about them." Grandpa saw that I wanted to ask, waved his hand slightly, and no longer continued to delve into the matter of the fifth uncle.

"Grandpa, according to what you say, isn't there a true disciple who is gone?" The four apprentices, all of whom are not in line with grandpa, no wonder grandpa is so lost.

"Learning the Tao pays attention to a fate, and you can't force it." Grandpa looked at me and smiled weirdly, making me a little unnatural.

"Grandpa, you're not going to let me learn from you, are you?" I asked in surprise, shrunk my head busily, shook my head like a drum, and said, "I don't want to spend all my days overdoing the dead and telling fortunes for the living." ”

That's good, I wanted to have a casual chat with my grandfather. Who knows, my grandfather actually planned to pull me into the sea of suffering and fall into the abyss forever. In my opinion, this is a terrible thing, and it is terrible to think about it, and in the future, I will either chant sutras on the dead and remove psychological barriers for a group of living people.

was almost fooled by his grandfather, he really made a magic stick for a lifetime, fooling people one after another, and if he was not careful, he almost fell on the road.

"Look at your breath." Grandpa glanced at me contemptuously and snorted coldly. In the end, he said helplessly: "Actually, since you were a child, I have told you a lot about Taoism. It doesn't matter if you listen to a story or read a myth, as long as you listen to it, you can remember it. It's a pity that your father suddenly took you away from the village, and you have been gone for so many years.

When you grow up, you have independent thoughts, and you are only interested in these old traditions without respect, and even resistant. I don't want to force you to do anything, but Grandpa is old and doesn't have much time to find a suitable apprentice. ”

Grandpa's whole person looks gloomy, and he doesn't have his usual demeanor at all, which makes people look a little unbearable. Now it seems that although my grandfather has read thousands of times and seems to be well-versed, he is still old and stubborn and feudal about Taoism.

Yes, feudal, superstitious. Why don't you even let go of your own grandson, is this preparing to play the family card?

I can't be fooled again, and if I accidentally agree, I won't regret taking the medicine.

"Grandpa, now there are many Taoisms outside, and the country has officially protected it as a heritage, and it will be well inherited, so why worry about your old age."

Grandpa was afraid of losing his inheritance, so he was too careful. You should always go out and walk around a lot, and don't stay in the mountains for the rest of your life.

The leader said that all Chinese cultures should not be praised or depreciated. A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, and the people will explore the final result in practice.

The famous mountains and rivers of Taoism, all cultural relics, have been perfectly preserved and promoted.

"The true Taoist skills rely on oral transmission from generation to generation, and there are too many written things to do." Grandpa returned to his old ability, and his eyes were like torches.

"And what exactly do you want to pass on?" I asked cautiously.

"In this way, take advantage of this time, you can follow me to take a look at it, and slowly you will know what I am going to pass on." Grandpa smiled a little sly when he saw that I was soft. Then he looked at me proudly and said, "When the time comes, you will know what a real Taoist priest is, not the god stick you think, nor is it a thing to deceive the ignorant people." ”

A great man once said that if you want to understand a person, you have to participate in his life, understand his habits, his psychological dynamics.

Is that what you say? Says who?

I had the idea of seeing Taoism clearly, figuring out what the Taoist priests were doing, and then exposing their naïve wishes. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed without hesitation. It can be seen that there is no end to the sea of suffering, but I will never go back, and when I was 20 years old, I became a trainee Taoist priest.

According to Grandpa's words: You can only be a trainee Taoist priest at present, and if you fail in the end, you will have to be eliminated. It made me cry and laugh a little when it was so formal, and secretly said, is it necessary to look at it like this? It's really like grandpa's way of doing things.
