Chapter Twenty-Three: Writing and Writing the Truth and Passing It on to the Ages
After a night of tossing and turning, the aquatic life who had hardly slept set off for the Rotten Peach Mountain before dawn, the stars retreated, the east gradually revealed light, and there was a trace of coolness in the mountains in the early morning. The flowers and plants have long been covered with dew, and the straw sandals walking in the mountains have long been wet with dew. The beasts seemed to sense the arrival of Juesheng, and they all walked out of the mountains and forests, prostrate on all fours, and lowered their heads to salute the aquatic life.
Walking in front of the peach tree, the panting aquatic creatures hurriedly saluted the big tree, and all the beasts gathered around, their eyes full of respect, even the most ferocious tigers and black bears, with tenderness in their eyes. The old man of the peach tree slowly walked out of the tree and said, "Why did Juesheng come to me so early?"
Shui Sheng knelt down and said: "Old man Peach Tree, I can promise you to educate the beasts, I hope that your veteran will take back the sword of the Peach Ancestor, yesterday the master has already promised the disciple." You can rest assured. ”
The old man of the peach tree said to the beasts, "Let's all disperse." The beasts left one after another, and the strong stench was blown away by the breeze. The fresh air in the mountains is back.
The old man helped Shui Sheng up and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Just a little heart. How can I get back what I gave away? Do you want to say that the puppet is innocent and guilty, haha, who would want to stare at you at a young age. As long as you don't reveal it, no one in the world will know that you have a treasure......"
The moment the Sword of the Peach Ancestor entered the body of the Peach Ancestor, the old man used the secret method to make the human sword unified, but the Aquatic Life now has no mana to drive the Sword of the Peach Ancestor. The immortal vessels are influenced by the sun and the moon and are self-channeling. Not to mention some innate treasures, their own cultivation has reached an astonishing level.
Shui Sheng was just about to speak, but was stopped by the old man of Peachtree and said: "You listen to me, you don't have to worry too much about entrusting the beasts to you, you can teach them like a teacher, or teach them once every three or five days, and learn more and learn less depending on their ability." The old decay will not go out of his way to criticize you. Don't worry about it, you know that when people are poor, even I am an exception. You look at the peach tree is my body has been devastated by countless years, and I am already in the last years of the wind and candle. ”
Shui Sheng said in surprise: "Didn't you say that after the sun rises, you can live with the heavens and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon?"
The old man of the peach tree said with a smile: "Because the heavens and the earth have changed, and there is a way that if the heavens are affectionate, the heavens will grow old, and the heavens can grow old, not to mention all things? That's all I say, and you should go back sooner. Don't miss your homework. ”
After saying goodbye to the old man, Shui Sheng hurried back, just in time to be able to catch up with breakfast, Fang Cun Mountain's breakfast is very casual, a bowl of gruel and a steamed bun, it tastes very light, and Shui Sheng's words will be a bird in his mouth. After breakfast, I came to the scripture building early to read the scriptures, which was no more time spent than the senior brothers running the true yuan every day. Take down a moral mantra and look at it with relish, although most of it is incomprehensible, but as long as you keep it in your mind, the so-called book is read a hundred times and its meaning is self-evident. Shui Sheng is now a big glutton, and I can't wait to read the entire book in the scripture building at once.
Books are dead, people are alive, few people come in the scripture building, a whole morning has passed, except for the third senior sister Jueming came in once, took out a copy of the "Theory of Fiction and Reality" and glanced at the water, no one else went to the scripture building. Aquaponics is not so much about reading books as about flipping books. Sweep it across the lines at a glance, then cover the book and read it silently in your mind, then put the book back. I read no less than thirty books in the morning, and when I walked out of the building, I felt that my eyes were blurry, and I walked crookedly, but fortunately, I didn't take a few steps and was bumped into by Juexin, so I quickly helped Shui Sheng and said: "You are drinking? ”
Shui Sheng waved his hand again and again: "No, it's not that you use your eyes too much, you can see everything dazzlingly." ”
Juexin helped Shui Sheng to the pavilion and sat down and said: "Only you are not worried, this morning the master instructed me to let me go to the Jinglou to pick you up at noon, the master is really clever." ”
Shui Sheng said with white eyes and heart: "If the master is not here, it is useless for you to pat him on the back." ”
"Oh, I thought the master would watch me again. ”
Shui Sheng said: "Senior Brother Juexin, why didn't I find the "Three Character Classic" in the scripture building?"
"What scripture?" Jue Xin asked in surprise, "I have never heard this scripture since I was sensible." ”
Shui Sheng said: "It's okay, maybe you don't know, wait for me to ask the senior brother, he is knowledgeable and may know where to put this book." ”
Juexin rolled his eyes and said: "It's too a slap in the face, can you not say this in front of me, I'm hurt." ”
Shui Sheng pretended to say: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Juexin is also well-read and knowledgeable, and no one is smarter than you if you push forward three hundred years and push back three hundred years." ”
"Hey, it's so fake, I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but I like to hear it, you can tell me about it. Juexin said shamelessly.
"I feel like I'm talking to you, what do you eat at noon? I'm still hungry. Shui Sheng asked angrily.
Juexin took a hand and looked at the sky, then touched Shuisheng's head and said, "Are you stupid to read a book, there is still half an hour before you can eat?" ”
A handful of Juexin thugs knocked down and said: "I ate a porridge steamed bun this morning, and my stomach has long been hungry." If there is anything to eat, if there is, give it some. ”
Juexin shrugged and said, "You know, I never keep food, and if I have food, I will already have a stomach." They are all starving ghosts reincarnated, and now the cucumbers in the vegetable garden are ripe, or we should pick a few to fill our stomachs. ”
Feeling that his eyes were no longer flickering, and his hands and feet had become much sharper, Shui Sheng stood up and said, "Senior brother, it is a big crime to steal in the cave, are you not afraid of Senior Sister Jueming's ruler?" That cucumber is the favorite of the third senior sister, and if you are missing, you must be peeled." ”
As soon as he heard the three words of the third senior sister, he immediately coaxed: "Then next to each other, wait until the time of the meal to eat." ”
Senior Brother Juewu walked into the pavilion without hurrying into the pavilion with a food box in one hand and said, "Two junior brothers are here, I have good food here." "Put the food box on the stone table, take out a stack of dim sum from it, the dim sum exudes a light fragrance, especially the red dates in the middle are even more mouth-watering. The dim sum taken out by Enlightenment is cinnamon jujube cake, which is a famous dim sum in Changshou Village.
Today, the senior brother went down the mountain to run errands and bought some snacks by the way, and came back, and met Juexin and Juesheng interjecting in the pavilion, and heard the two of them say that they were hungry from a distance. simply make a favor and give it to them to eat.
The two guys gobbled up the pastry and patted their stomachs and said, "This class is full." Speechless, he said, "You are crazy from hunger." ”
Shui Sheng burped and said, "Almost, today's consumption is too much." It just so happens that you are here, Senior Brother, Juesheng wants to ask where is the "Three Character Classic" placed?"
Consciousness pondered for a long time and shook his head and said: "I have no impression, I may be able to find it when I go down and look in the building." ”
Shui Sheng immediately came to the spirit and said, "Go now." ”
The three of them re-entered the scripture building, and searched through the hundreds of schools of the princes but did not find it.
"Senior brother, do you think there is or is it possible to be somewhere else?" said Shui Sheng, questioning.
Enlightenment said: "Impossible, the books that have been read in the building must be put back in their original places, otherwise the master will punish them." ”
"Juesheng, what kind of book is the Three Character Sutra you are talking about?" Jue Xin asked curiously, "You tell us the content, if there are some images, we can find them." ”
Shui Sheng said: "It is a book that teaches people to read and write, know etiquette, and move honestly." Three words are a sentence, concise and rich. It includes astronomy and geography of the world, human ethics and righteousness, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and so on. I remember when I was a child, my father took a chicken feather pole and asked me to recite the whole article, and I still remember it vividly. ”
The three-character scripture is an old-time enlightenment reading, and the aquatic thinking is interested in using this three-character scripture to teach the beasts is one of the best, the content is very simple and easy to understand, and it can let the beasts know the etiquette, righteousness and shame of being a man.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching, you are specialized in ......" aquatic will be directly out of the three-character scripture. When the three-character scripture is recited, the three characters are a sentence, the sentences are catchy, the content is very plain, and it is easy to see. If you want to study it carefully, the content includes hundreds of celebrities and romantic figures of all generations since the time of Yanhuang. The all-encompassing classics of the past dynasties are included. Shui Sheng recited the three-character scripture word for word.
Jue Wu and Jue Xin shook their heads and said that they had not seen it, and Jue Wu said: "I haven't heard of it, but there are a few words of you that I still don't understand." Think about the land of China to this day is the world of the Zhao family, your so-called 'eighteen legends, north and south. Liao and Jin are both called emperors. Yuan extinguishes gold, and the Song Dynasty is extinct. 'There is a suspicion of revealing the secret of heaven, and it should not be said that it will come out. Overall, this book is indeed a good book, and I can't see that Juesheng is really talented. ”
Shui Sheng asked strangely: "What year is tonight? Could it be that the Chinese Divine Land is the son of the Zhao family who is wearing a yellow robe?"
Enlightenment said: "The master said that when there is a big killing stirring up today, the fortune of heaven and earth will be stirred, so he often warns us not to be easily contaminated with red dust, and I am afraid that the sword soldiers will be added. ”
Jue Xin said: "Regardless of other human affairs, we are alone overseas, is it difficult for the emperor of the world to raise troops to recruit or not? You must know that even the emperor needs to be polite when he sees us, how can he do the sword and soldier? and he is not afraid of damaging the luck of others." ”
Jue Wu smiled and said: "Probably so, since this book has not been circulated, why don't you write the whole book and leave it for future generations to benefit all sentient beings? ”
"But ......"
"No need, just do what the senior brother says, as for the signature, you can put a name on it at will. But now it is the first task to hurry to the cafeteria to eat, and the pastries given by the senior brother just now are delicious and delicious, but I can't help but be hungry. Juexin took the two of them on the shoulders and walked to the cafeteria together.
In fact, there was another person in the scripture building, but the three of them didn't find it, but the third senior sister in charge of the precepts returned the books she took back in the morning. Hearing the three-character scripture dictated by the aquatic life is set off in the heart is a monstrous wave, the content of the scriptures is very simple, if it is a good book for beginners to learn, one is to know the text without being blind, and the other is to memorize the most important etiquette in the world. The Three Principles of Heaven is the avenue of the world, and its opening sentence is 'At the beginning of man, nature is good.' It also defines that all things have compassion and kindness.
Jue Ming said in a trance: "Am I really wrong? Since he is a person who is hated by the Heavenly Dao, why does the Heavenly Dao still favor him? Is this what the master said that the power of heaven is unpredictable?" Unconsciously lost her Dao heart, causing her to fall into the demonic path of a vicious circle. After the confusion in the building, all the books were blown off the shelves. The ground is full of messes. Not long after, a peaceful aura descended on the scripture building, and Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said, "None of these disciples are fuel-efficient lamps. Sooner or later, my old bones will be tormented and shattered by them. ”
