Chapter 173: Ming Enters the Ground, Li Jing apprentices
At the beginning of the year, the flying flowers are floating, and the abundance is high in the sky.
The time of Liyan Villa has passed, and I recall the Longzhongjiao of the year.
In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui issued several important decrees.
In order to put an end to collusion between officials and businessmen, it is stipulated that industry and commerce shall not be officials. "Sui Shujuan II, Emperor Ji II, Gaozu Xia": "On the first day of June, the industry and commerce are not allowed to enter the office. ”
Yan Liyan opened scenic spots in Liyan Villa, engaged in tourism, opened wineries, and carried out commercial activities. Yang Li, a nobleman in Chang'an, saw that Liyan Villa had a lot of income, so he asked for shares and dividends. Yan Liyan, who is a master of cultivation, naturally refused in one bite, and Zhu Bashi, who was straightforward and fast-hearted, kicked the messenger out of Liyan Villa. Yang Li was indignant and thought that Yan Liyan was making money in order to become an official, so he went to Emperor Wen of Sui to complain, saying that "businessmen make profits, specialize in bribery, and are preparing to buy officials and influence the country's social affairs." As a result, Emperor Wen of Sui forbade industry and commerce to enter the scholars.
In order to put an end to unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, only the three elements can be enforced. "Sui Shujuan II, Emperor Ji II, Gaozu Xia": "In the autumn and August of Bingxu, the edict condemned those who committed capital crimes, and then executed. ”
In order to maintain human ethics, it is stipulated that official wives are not allowed to remarry. "Sui Shujuan II, Emperor Ji II, Gaozu Xia": "Xin Chou, Zhao Jiupin has a wife, and Wupin has a concubine, and the husband must not remarry. "Seeing that the religion of etiquette was withering, the secretary had just died, and his concubines and maidservants were married off and sold by his descendants. So, Li Ge wrote: "I have heard that only when we remember those who have passed away can we return to loyalty by beginning and ending well; Three years of mourning without change is called filial piety. I have heard that some of the ministers of the court and the central government have had their fathers and grandfathers died, and their children and grandchildren were scoundrels, so they divided their prostitutes and concubines, married them, and sold them for money. Even a single instance is detrimental to morals today. Although the concubine is lowly, she personally inherits the clothes and shoes of her ancestors and mourns for them for three years, which is a common practice in ancient and modern times. How can we tolerate a rush to take off their mourning clothes, force them to apply powder, and let them cry in front of the spirit tablets of their ancestors and send them to other people's rooms? Anyone who sees others is still sad, let alone the Son of Man, how can he bear it so much? There are also ministers of the court, who are high-ranking and important, and they are good friends in their lives, and they are like brothers. But after the death of his friend, he regarded his friend as a passerby, and when he heard that his friend had died, he persuaded his friend's concubine to remarry in the evening, and even asked for a job when it was convenient, for the purpose of getting the love of others, without shame, and abandoned the affection of his friend. Moreover, the law of governing the family can be taken to the government, which can not be used to govern the family, and how can it help to govern the country? Emperor Wen of Sui read the seal, appreciated it, and immediately ordered to prohibit the remarriage of official wives.
Yan Liyan concentrated on construction, tourism and winemaking in Liyan Villa.
One morning, Xuanyuan Jingtian performed the river map in Liyan Villa, fiddling with the stems and branches, and suddenly said yes. Yan Liyan is used to it.
Xuanyuan Jingtian said: "Today, a distinguished guest has visited. ”
"Oh, who's that?" The Boundary Keeper asked.
"Don't say it, don't say it, you will know when you come." Xuanyuan said mysteriously by the gods.
So, Xuanyuan went to the front of the villa early in the morning to set up a stall to tell the fortunes.
Yan Liyan and the others were also curious, so they followed.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, it was midnight. The wind and the sun were beautiful, and suddenly the chickens and dogs in Liyan Villa stopped fighting.
A young man in his twenties and five-fifths came.
The appearance of a scholar, dressed in white and snowy, eight feet tall, Shi Shiran floated in, and he was a tall man at first glance.
Yan Liyan knew that he was a master, so he used his divine sense to investigate, and he was happy to find out, it turned out to be Li Jing, Han Baohu's nephew.
Li Jing (571 - July 2, 649), a pharmacist, was a Han Chinese from Sanyuan, Yongzhou (now northeast of Sanyuan County, Shaanxi), and was the lower realm of the Heavenly Court Tuota Heavenly King. Li Jing was born in the house of the eunuch and was the nephew of the general Han Baohu.
His grandfather, Li Chongyi, served as the assassin of Yinzhou and was named the Duke of Yongkang; Father Li Quanshi Sui, the official to Zhao County Taishou. Li Jing looks burly, because of the influence of the family, since he was a child, he has "civil and military talents", and is quite enterprising, once said to his father: "If the eldest husband meets the monarch and the era of the Holy Ming, he should establish meritorious deeds and seek wealth." ”
Han Baohu was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and every time he talked to him about military affairs, he clapped his hands and praised him, and stroked him and said: "The only person who can discuss the art of Sun and Wu is you." Although his official position was humble, his talent was famous among the ministers of the Sui Dynasty, and Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, praised him as "Wang Zuozhicai", and the great military strategist of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, the left servant, also stroked the bed and said to him: "You should finally sit in this position!" ‘’
But at this time, Li Jing did not emerge, he was still a knife and pen official, and he did not meet talents, so he came to Liyan Villa to travel and relax.
Xuanyuan Jingtian saw Li Jing and immediately greeted, "This son, do you want to measure the word?" ”
Although Li Jing is an immortal, his cultivation is insufficient at this time, and he has just started his cultivation.
There are generally two signs of initiation of spiritual practice: one is the ability to "look inward", no matter which way you use it, you should be able to feel your own internal state; The second is to retreat from disease through this alchemy, so that the body can reach a healthy and disease-free state. Why is this how to get started? Because cultivating a higher and deeper Dao method cannot rely on a broken furnace ding, if there is a physical defect, there may be problems, and on the other hand, the practitioner must be aware of the changes that occur in himself at all times.
After Li Jing's consciousness was re-clarified, his cultivation became more profound and keen, and he didn't need to look or hear, he seemed to be able to perceive the existence of all objects in the quiet room, and even the subtle vibration of the insects crawling through the window. It's a great feeling at first, you almost feel like you know everything, but over time it's a nuisance, like an ant crawling on the ground, which can keep you awake, especially at night.
When Xuanyuan Jingtian called him, he naturally used his divine sense to sense Xuanyuan Jingtian. I couldn't feel it, and at first I found that Xuanyuan Jingtian was as unfathomable as the sea. But when he went to sense it again, he found that Xuanyuan Jingtian was an ordinary old man.
It turned out that when Xuanyuan Jingtian found out that Li Jing was testing himself, he changed his supernatural powers.
Xuanyuan Jingtian is an ancient god, the master of creation, and his cultivation is Tongtian, which is comparable to the existence of the Great Heavenly Venerable, how can Li Jing, who has just started his cultivation, explore?
Li Jing is a man of heaven and earth, and he is naturally blessed, and he also knows that the old man in front of him has an extraordinary background, so he respectfully salutes and says, "I measure the word."
Li Jing directly wrote down the word "Jing".
Xuanyuan Jingtian began to talk serious nonsense, "Jing, Liqing." Qing is the next season, which means that if Gongzi wants to get ahead, he will have to wait until the next dynasty. Standing is a truncation of the text, indicating that the son will not have any achievements in the literary world, nor can he be a civil official, and he will engage in martial arts in the future. ”
Li Jing seemed to be thoughtful after hearing this, but did not speak.
Xuanyuan Jingtian said, "If you become a scholar, it is estimated that you can only be a knife and pen official until you are old." If you are a martial artist, you will surely achieve immortal feats. ”
Li Jing hurriedly said, "Please give instructions from the master."
"You must assist the Emperor." Xuanyuan Jingtian said mysteriously.
"Who is the human emperor", Li Jing continued to ask.
"Heaven must not be divulged. The way of heaven cannot be called one". Xuanyuan Jingtian stopped talking after speaking.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Jingtian no longer spoke, Li Jing stopped asking.
At this time, Yan Liyan immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, Li Gongzi". Yan Liyan said enthusiastically.
"Are you Yan Liyan Yan Gongzi?" Li Jing asked.
"The little brother is exactly". Yan Liyan replied enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes, my brother is really the dragon and phoenix among people. I have heard for a long time that my brother is good at business construction, and I went to Liyan Villa today to visit, and it was really exquisite," Li Jing said.
"Everywhere, it's all carving insect skills. It's not as talented as Brother Li." Yan Liyan said modestly.
Li Jing said, "I have long had a thin name, and today I am still a knife and pen official." The years are ruthless, I have no ambitions, I don't know when I can show my talents? After saying that, he sighed.
Yan Liyan immediately said, "Just now, my master Xuanyuan Jingtian has already measured the words for my brother. My master is proficient in Qimen gossip, calculates heaven and earth, and predicts the future. ”
Li Jing heard that Xuanyuan Jingtian was Yan Liyan's master, so he immediately went to stammer again.
Then, Yan Liyan took Li Jing to visit the famous Jinxian Well, tasted fine wine, rock sugar gourd and other specialties, and also gave a few Dacheng Dan.
Xuanyuan Jingtian also gave the "Xuanyuan Patrol Heaven True Scripture" to Li Jing.
Li Jing looked at it slightly, immediately changed color, and quickly knelt down and bowed a few times.
Xuanyuan Jingtian did not stop him, and let Li Jing give a big gift.
Li Jing thought about it and decided to worship Xuanyuan Jingtian as his teacher.
Xuanyuan Jingtian immediately accepted Li Jing as an apprentice, and arranged ceremonies such as worshipping the heavens and worshipping the teacher in accordance with the rituals. "Xuanyuan Xuntian True Sutra" is written by Xuanyuan Jingtianji throughout his life, which describes in detail the origin or origin of cultivation, cultivation exercises, various supernatural powers and secrets of the gods.
Xuanyuan Jingtian is the ancestor of the human race, and he is also the ancient god of Daomen, so he naturally hopes that Daomen will last forever. Li Jing is the Nether Realm of the Tota Heavenly King, and he is also an important chess piece sent by the Great Heavenly Venerable in order to preserve the human divine domain. Therefore, Xuanyuan Jingtian was willing to help Da Tianzun and accept Li Jing as an apprentice.
After Li Jing apprenticed, he lived in Liyan Villa for a while, and became familiar with the Daoist of the Boundary Guard, Yan Liyan, as well as Zhu Bashi and Long Xiaotian.
Li Jing is worthy of being an immortal, and after three days, he cultivated to the inner patrol of the hundred remains.
On the evening of the fourth day, after Li Jing sat down, he guided the alchemy technique, condensed the moon into the body, and toured for a week, at this time, his realm had broken through the qi to patrol the heavens and seas, and entered the stage of Dacheng Zhenren, and he could use the aura between heaven and earth to refine the meridians.
Running the divine energy, guiding the moonlight, the week of refining has been completed, I feel refreshed, and even my body seems to be a lot lighter.
After cultivating to the fullest, Li Jing bid farewell to his master Xuanyuan Jingtian, returned to his post, and continued to experience in the world.
