Chapter 42: Mount Qingcheng

Mr. Xue smiled maliciously, and then said: "The same is true for women's legs, summer skirts and sandals, looking from behind, there is always an out-of-proportion gap between the calves, the shape is short and thick and curved, the flat buttocks are like felt blankets, and some are already skinny and still thinking about losing weight every day, and the shape is bone-like, where is there still a little bit of the plump feeling of the pink beauty in the past?" ”

Several women's faces turned crimson, and they were speechless for a while, causing a burst of laughter in the crowd.

An old man said earnestly: "This comrade's words are not rough, although they are extreme, everyone may not be able to accept them." However, in the Republic of China period, the women at that time were really plump, wrapped in cheongsam, elegant manners, Wu Yu was soft, exhaling like an orchid, which made people feel pity" He took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in time.

"Throughout the ages, the appearance of Chinese people has indeed become more and more ugly, and the reason for this is nothing more than the word heredity," Mr. Xue paused, looked around for a week, and then continued, "Thirty years ago, due to the class struggle viewpoint, people chose their spouses first and family background, and no longer judged people by their appearance alone. Therefore, beautiful women frequently marry ugly men from workers and poor middle peasants, and this trend has changed to beautiful women marrying rich people, as long as they have a large amount of money, ugly men don't care, but handsome men can only marry ugly women because of the poverty of their families. This is a phenomenon of changes in the social environment that aggravate the mutation of the concept of mate selection, which is unnatural and suppresses nature, and will inevitably cause a change in biological heredity, resulting in the ugliness of the Chinese people's appearance becoming more and more ugly, which becomes a foregone conclusion, and beauty is non-renewable. ”

After Mr. Xue finished speaking, the whole restaurant suddenly fell silent, people stopped chopsticks and chopsticks to think about themselves seriously, and several married men couldn't help but shed bitter tears.

A handsome-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and held Mr. Xue's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Comrade, you have spoken what we have been depressed for a long time, those good women have been snatched away by rich money, this is a social regression, the degradation of human morality. In ancient times, we still paid attention to the appearance of talented women, but now no matter how talented we are, they can't compare to the banknotes of luxury houses, can our descendants only become uglier and uglier? I'm really unwilling."

Mr. Xue patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Life is just a few decades, and it will pass after one endure." ”

Some people applauded suddenly, and then more and more people joined in, and the applause rang out at the end.

Youliang looked at Mr. Xue in surprise, surprised that good argumentation can also influence other people's thoughts, that night in front of the main hall of the Hengshan Zangjing Pavilion, he had heard his conversation with the abbot of Gukong, his profound knowledge, discerning mind and sharp speech today is another insight.

Youliang remembered what was said in the book "Shunzhi Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles", some demons in the world especially like to drink tea and talk about scriptures, and they are keen to debate with others, and they often enjoy it.

Mr. Xue must be a demon, he can almost conclude.

Qingcheng Mountain is located about ten kilometers southwest of Dujiangyan, backed by the Qionglai Mountains, hidden in the quiet Minjiang River Gorge. The forest and onion cage, the thirty-six green peaks are revealed, the mountains are surrounded by such as the city, so it is named "Qingcheng Mountain", and it is known as "Qingcheng is secluded in the world".

Climb the halfway of the mixed yuan peak to see the Chang Taoist Temple, there is a cave behind the view, it is the place where Zhang Daoling practiced preaching and feathering in Qingcheng Mountain, people call it "Heavenly Master Cave", it is the ancestral court of the Central Plains Heavenly Master Road (also called Wudou Rice Road or Zhengyi).

Mr. Xue and Youliang stood in front of the mountain gate and looked up, a golden plaque "Ancient Taoist Temple" stood on it, and on both sides there were couplets written by Li Shiying of Shuzhou:

The resort crowns two rivers, and the eyes are surrounded by thousands of pies.

The daimyo respects the five mountains, and the thrilling storm is the Bailing Dynasty.

Walking into the mountain gate and climbing the long stone steps, the two came to the Sanqing Hall.

The hall is full of people, pilgrims are bustling, it turns out that today is the Christmas Day of the Celestial Master on the 18th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the Changdao Temple is holding the Luo Tian Dajiao Memorial Ceremony.

"It's so lively." Youliang probe to look in, see that there are nine altars in the hall to worship the gods of heaven and earth, the Taoist priests line up to accompany the Taoist music to step on the gang bucket and Yu step walking ceremony, the pious pilgrims are kneeling and praying, the scene is much more spectacular than the Buddha Cliff Temple.

"Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty is good at spells and people to cure diseases, each person needs to pay five buckets of rice, so it is also called 'five buckets of rice Dao', since the Wei and Jin dynasties Taoist disciples respected it as 'Zhang Tianshi', the religion was renamed 'Tianshi Dao', so it is Taoist authentic. After the Jin Yuan Dynasty, the Quanzhen Sect in the north arose, and the Heavenly Master Dao was renamed 'Zhengyi', and since then it has been equally divided with the Quanzhen Sect. Mr. Xue stood up with his hands and said.

At this time, someone behind him said: "What the donor said is very true, may I ask if you are here to participate in Luo Tian Dajiao, why don't you enter the palace?" ”

Looking back, I saw an old Taoist priest with gray hair standing on the side of the door with a smile.

"What do you call the Dao Chief?" Mr. Xue asked bluntly.

"Poor Dao has no dust, the abbot of Changdao Temple, may I ask the surnames of the two donors?" The old Taoist priest had a kind face and spoke an authentic Sichuan dialect.

"My surname is Xue, his name is Youliang, that's Mei Niang." Mr. Xue pointed to the travel bag on the ground.

Wuchenzi was surprised to find that the travel bag was squirming gently, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This is"

Arira pulled the zipper and let the girl out.

Mei Niang "meowed" at the old Taoist chief, which was regarded as a greeting.

Wuchenzi smiled: "Master Xue is really different, and it is rare to regard all living beings as equals. ”

"Dustless Daoist, when will your once-in-a-decade debate begin?" Mr. Xue asked.

"Oh, two, ah no, the three of them originally participated in the debate, the debaters of the Baiyun Temple in the capital and the leaders of the State Administration of Religious Affairs have already arrived, and they are about to start, please invite a few people into the temple." Wuchenzi said politely.

Mr. Xue and Youliang Meiniang followed the old Taoist into the hall, and at this moment, Luo Tian Dajiao had already carried out the last ceremony of dropping the flags and sending them to the saint, and it was about to end.

Wuchenzi led them around the merit box, Mr. Xue coughed and stopped, took out a neat pile of 100 yuan bills from his pocket and threw them into the box, Youliang was surprised, it was 10,000 yuan, this Mr. Xue didn't even frown.

The afterglow of the corner of Wuchenzi's eyes glimpsed this scene, and secretly thought in his heart that this person was dressed in pure Chinese, and it seemed that he was by no means an ordinary pilgrim, and he needed to be received according to the specifications of the guests.

At the end of the Luo Tian Jiao, the Taoist priests moved some tables and chairs to divide the east and west columns on the main hall, the east is the Quanzhen Taoist priest from the Baiyun Temple in the capital, the west is the Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple and the Taoist priest from Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, and there is a long row of tables in the middle, on which there are fruit plates and tea, which are the seats of the relevant leaders and guests such as the higher religious bureau.

It was precisely because of Mr. Xue's generous gesture that the two of them were specially arranged by the abbot Wuchenzi in the position of guests, while Mei Niang crouched on Youliang's lap, staring around with curious eyes.

"The Quanzhen Taoist priests in the east wear mixed yuan scarves on their heads, mainly to practice the inner dan, and the Taoist robes are relatively loose, while the west side is wearing a nine-beam scarf or a three-clear scarf on the head, cultivating the outer Dan Fu Dao method and sword skills, so the clothes are close to the body and concise, suitable for dancing. Moreover, Zhengyi does not have to live in a Taoist temple, he can have a family, and the Quanzhen Sect must be a monk and live in a Taoist temple and is not close to women. Mr. Xue explained to Youliang.

"When" the bell rang in the view.

As the host, Abbot Wuchenzi spoke first: "Distinguished leaders of the Religious Affairs Bureau and distinguished guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in the 10-year Qingcheng Mountain Debate Festival, and thank you to the Quanzhen Sect from Baiyun Temple. Taoism is the native religion of China, since the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Daoling Tianshi founded Taoism, has a history of more than 1,800 years, during the ups and downs to develop to this day is not easy. Taoism teaches in the name of 'Tao', Yan Laozhuang doctrine, internal and external cultivation, 'two lives to three, three to all things', everything in the world should be done according to the law 'Tao', and the most reluctantly returned to nature. The debates of the Southern School and the Northern School of the Quanzhen Sect have been held countless times since the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and the more the 'Dao' is debated, the clearer it becomes, and 'removing the dross and taking the essence' is conducive to the long-term development of Taoism. Next, I would like to invite the leaders of the State Administration of Religious Affairs to give us instructions, and everyone is welcome. ”

With a burst of warm applause, a leader in his fifties dressed in a gray uniform with four pockets of hair stood up behind the horizontal row in the middle, with a ruddy face and a loud voice: "Hehe, I don't have any preparations, just say a few words casually." The party's ethnic and religious policy is 'freedom of religious belief and separation of church and state,' which is also the basic policy of a socialist state. Every citizen has the freedom to believe in a religion and the freedom not to believe in a religion; There is freedom to believe in this religion, and there is freedom to believe in that religion; There is the freedom to believe in religion without believing in the past, and there is also the freedom to believe in religion in the past and not believing in religion now; In the same religion there is freedom to believe in one denomination and there is freedom to believe in another. Hehe, thank you. ”

With applause, he sat down with a smile.

Mr. Xue snorted with a look of disdain.

"Next, I would like to ask Director Mo of the Dujiangyan Religious Affairs Bureau to give instructions." Wuchenzi applauded.

The pale-faced middle-aged man waved his hand, stood up and said expressionlessly: "The leaders of the State Administration of Religious Affairs have already spoken, and they are very comprehensive, so I will simply add two sentences." In short, it is necessary to get rid of superstition, stress science and politics, and let religion adapt to and cooperate with the needs of the development of socialist spiritual civilization. Without waiting for applause, he sat down.

"Hmph, this person is so impulsive." Mr. Xue muttered.

Next, the abbot of Wuchenzi announced the beginning of the debate, causing a commotion in the crowd, and the pilgrims from outside were very curious, after all, it was not easy to catch up with the once-in-a-decade event.
