Lao Tzu said: "There is a mixture of things, born congenitally, lonely, independent and not changing, Zhou Xing and not dying, can be the mother of heaven and earth, I don't know its name, the word is the way." This means that before the formation of heaven and earth, there was a thing that was completely integrated into nature, and he said: "The Tao rushes to use it, or it does not make a profit...... which means the wine cup, which vividly explains that the Tao is invisible, because the body of the "Tao" is empty, but the function is inexhaustible, which is just like the wine cup: because it is empty, it can be used to hold wine; And the part it uses to hold the wine is precisely the empty part that we can't see with the naked eye. So what you have, the Tao will give you, and this is the meaning of cultivation, the higher your realm, the more you will know from the world of "Tao", the more you will understand.

Many people may find it strange that Taoism is closer to a philosophical theory in its original meaning, why do people in later generations pay attention to the yin and yang feng shui of Taoist priests, and hunt ghosts? In fact, at the beginning, the "Dao" was considered to be able to dominate all gods and ghosts, and Lao Tzu said: "If the Tao comes to the world, its ghosts are not gods." It is not a ghost or a god, and its god does not hurt people. If it is not a god, it does not hurt people, and a saint does not hurt people. "One point is clear here, Lao Tzu believes that there are gods and ghosts in this world, but whether gods and ghosts hurt people or not does not depend on gods and ghosts, but depends on people, if people's hearts are evil, then gods and ghosts will hurt people, so to be like a saint can not hurt people, then after death becomes a ghost, it will not hurt people, if you do evil, whether it is a person or a ghost, there will be a Tao to punish or resolve the corresponding law.

The significance of the doctrine of gods and ghosts is to confirm the existence of the supremacy of the Tao, and a Taoist priest like Cha Wenbin, who has lived in civil activities for a long time, spends a lot of time on these things in his spare time, and he is seen as a fighter against those dirty things, just like when we are in trouble, we will go to the police for help, in that field, he is the nosy policeman.

The Tao encompasses all things in the universe, and everyone's thoughts have a certain boundary, and you can't recognize beyond this boundary. Therefore, Cha Wenbin's entry into the limit is within the boundaries that he can reach, and the insights obtained within the boundaries of the range will be a heavenly amount, but in the end, what you can understand is often the simplest sentence.

So what did he see, what he realized, others have no way to know, Hetu said that his master actually saw himself after a few years, and there are still many reincarnations between lives, and those pasts are actually clear in his heart.

As for whether he really understands, no one knows, in short, after he woke up, Ye Huan asked him how he felt and what he saw, he just said: "It is because the way of heaven is ruthless, and all living beings are ants; However, the way of heaven is also affectionate, leaving a glimmer of life for all sentient beings. All things have birth and death, life or death, death or life, all of which are creations. ”

"It's all creation." Ye Huan nodded and said, "Since there is a glimmer of life, then I might as well tell you that in these days when you have been settled, God has finally failed us and can go out." ”

According to Ye Huan's method, the fat man has been fighting hard these days. Digging along the mole's tunnel, the old god came up with a way for him, that is, to put the head of the mole in front of the catch, he said that this is called deterrence, any animal will be afraid of death, so that there is no sudden danger. In the past few days, he has lived on the mole, and all that is left for Cha Wenbin is two lumps of dried meat, and the fat man said that if he doesn't wake up again, they will have to gnaw on the roots of the tree to live.

However, the other end of the mole's tunnel was very strange, and it was opened and returned to the hall where they had just entered, that is, the place where countless clay sculptures were placed. At the end of the clay sculpture, there are also Lian'er's masters Murong Mingyue and Zhuge Jun and a group of people, and I don't know if they have found a way to be trapped in it in the past few days.

However, Ye Huan concluded that they had come out based on the footprints on the ground, because there were indeed many shoe prints that were going outside, Ye Huan said that as long as they broke the game inside, all the mazes would not exist. The fat man didn't understand, what was going on in this place that was later called the Longshan Tomb, in fact, no one knew it, after they went back, this place was protected, and the entrance to the Longshan Tomb was now no longer visible, reinforced with a thick shell of concrete, and there were two steel gates that were enough to resist explosives, it is said that in the early 21st century, the local government in order to promote tourism, had the idea of the Longshan Tomb, but the above document only required the Longshan Tomb to be sealed forever, In the case of immature conditions, private development is absolutely not allowed.

"I know the place in the Longshan Ancient Tomb." I said to Hetu: "It's just a mountain, it's not much different from the mountain here, when I was in high school, there were a few classmates who were very close to that side, and I once went to the village at the bottom of the mountain, and I couldn't see anything special, why did such strange things happen in that place?" ”

"Actually, the strange thing is not in the mountain, but the female corpse," Hetu took a sip of tea and said: "The female corpse that Zhuge Jun and they stole is the strangest, and I also heard from the older generation that the female corpse was actually my master's lover before the third generation." Later, I learned that in fact, it was not only this one that was lost, but a lot of them, and some of these female corpses were actually not corpses anymore, do you know the tomb of my master? ”

"I know, I've been there." I said to Hetu: "It is now on the ancestral tomb mountain of the Cha family, and their families are buried together. ”

Hetu smiled and said: "Actually, my master is not buried there at all, it is just a clothed mound, and my master and mother are not buried in it, which is what I learned later." ”

This answer really taught me unexpectedly, whether the relationship between Cha Wenbin and Concubine Yu is good or not, in fact, everyone's opinion is different. But since she left, Cha Wenbin has not remarried, in his thirties, he is very indifferent to money, but he is not lacking, because as long as he wants, someone will naturally give it to him. So I asked, "What about your wife?" ”

"It's burned," Hetu said, "The master said that his generation wants to end this endless reincarnation, and I didn't understand it at first, but then I gradually began to understand that the Creator is actually fair, and there is yin and yang." The master's life is the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, and the other half of her natural life is not much better, I don't know the eight characters of the master's mother, and the master never says, in fact, he scattered the ashes of the master into the river, and I didn't understand it when I knew, because you know that our Taoist priest is the most particular about putting a person into the soil for peace, so now I will also put some camellia in the river, which is the favorite flower of the master during her lifetime. ”

"Is it related to the female corpse?" I asked.

Hetu nodded and said: "You will never know how sinister the human heart is, those female corpses are actually the master's yin, and the other half of every life is his yin, and yin can be used to balance yang." He didn't say any more, but turned his head to the window, in fact, I didn't know Cha Wenbin later than Hetu, but he was Cha Wenbin's only apprentice after all, so many things I didn't know were obtained from his mouth. As for him, in fact, what he knows is more the result of his own speculation and observation, because Cha Wenbin rarely talks to him about these things.

"And then the fat man?" I haven't actually seen Shi Dangdang as a person, including Ye Qiu, compared to Chaozi and later Table Bear, Dashan and others, their existence is more accompanied by the first half of Cha Wenbin's life.

"He came when the master left, but he was alone." Hetu told me: "I haven't heard from him for a long time, he is different from some other masters' friends, in fact, he is the one who knows the master best, they are real brothers, big and small. In fact, not long after the Longshan Ancient Tomb, he left, this is his life, everyone has a fixed appearance in the master's world, and there will also be a fixed ending, this kind of ending is not what the master wants to see, it's almost what it means. ”

"What about Yuhuan?" I care about this.

"Look, not long after, they went to the Northeast," Hetu said to me: "Actually, the master didn't care about Yuhuan before, and that kind of power struggle didn't have much attraction to him, but since the Longshan Ancient Tomb, he has taken the initiative, and I don't really understand why." ”

I gently pressed the cigarette butt in my hand into the ashtray and said to him: "I think I know the answer, he must have seen his own end in that special place, this ending needs to be changed, he finally realized that layer, the lost hexagram, right?" ”

Hetu smiled and didn't answer, he said that it was going to be the Qingming Festival, and he hadn't been back for several years. In fact, I haven't been to his grave for several years, Cha Wenbin's grave is in the back mountain of their hometown, through a bamboo forest and then a chestnut forest, on the small hill facing west there are a few bare stones, above the stone is the cemetery, very inconspicuous.

"I know I have an idea that you might scold me," this is the first time I have asked Tong Hetu like this, and I know that this question is very disrespectful, even a little absurd, "Like your master, his grave is also buried in a well-dressed mound?" "My guess is reasonable, as we all know, Cha Wenbin has no descendants, Tong Hetu was raised by him, but also the only heir in his family, although it was said that he was driven out in the middle of the road, but I know very well that Hetu's personality is everything, in his heart, the master is everything, and he has no reason not to go back to Cha Wenbin for several years Qingming to incense.
