The thirty-seventh episode, Dongbin preached
As the proverb goes: Good righteousness is admired by people, and greed is laughed at by ghosts.
It is a good opportunity to travel through the mountains and rivers and have a good meal in the wilderness, a large group of idle immortals and gods who have nothing to do, they have traveled lightly, calling friends, three or three, traveling together, or fighting wine, or playing chess, or chanting poetry, or tasting tea, at ease, with thousands of manners. One of the most lively places is the famous Tianhe Square. As the largest leisure and entertainment square in the Heavenly Palace, Tianhe Square has created three "Best of the Heavenly Palace": one is the largest area, so large that the once respected Taibai Li Jinxing said a sentence that made all the gods depressed: "I ate myself full of ditches, and then started the tour from the eastern boundary of the square, all the way non-stop, walking like flying." This was followed by a dry mouth and sweaty profusely. In addition, the legs and feet are soft, and the chest is tight and shortness of breath. The four are exhausted, and their eyes are full of stars, as if my primordial spirit has been out of the body. In the haze, I vaguely saw the central sign of the square, when in fact, I had collapsed. "The second is the freshest air, because the square brings together from all over the universe such as five directions, three islands, ten continents, etc., exotic flowers and trees, birds and beasts, making the square like a "paradise" in the heavenly palace, here, the fairy and the bird and the bird dance together, the fairy and the bird and beast live in harmony, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers that penetrate into the heart, the flowing water is murmuring, the fish is shallow bottom, the colorful butterflies fly together with their wings, the dragonfly wings spread, the breeze blows, the shadow of the tree is blurred, attracting countless immortals who do not want to go back, rather "displaced", happy and forget their worries. The third is the most abundant landscape, the center of the square is the symbol of the Tiangong surname building------ giant relief "a person to get the way, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", the characters and animals in it are lifelike, and they are about to come out. In the east of the square, there is a giant laser music seven-color rainbow fountain, whenever the elegant and solemn, rich and peaceful music "Neon Dress and Feather Song" sounds, the pool will splash in all directions, and then spray out seven tall and spectacular water columns, under the accompaniment of music, constantly change the colorful colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, like a fairy dancing in the air, ingenious, beautiful, Rao is a fairy, but also can't help but be dizzying, breathtaking. The west of the square is a gallery, the shape is unique, the painting is exquisite, it shows the major events that happened in the history of the heavenly palace from Pangu opening the sky, Hou Yi shooting, Chang'e running to the moon and bravely fighting the heavens, etc., it is the most important base for the new generation of the heavenly palace to carry out ideal and belief education, and it is also the place where the older generation of immortals recall history and sigh about the present dynasty.
As the most lonely immortal in the Heavenly Palace, Lu Dongbin slipped into the square early after breakfast, walked to a "Lying Cow Stone", performed the "Dao Method" and jumped up, found a flat place, meditated cross-legged, and closed his eyes to practice. I don't know how long it took, the chatter around him made him upset, and it was impossible to concentrate on enlightenment, so he opened his eyes carelessly, danced the dust whisk in his hand a few times, and said angrily: "Where did the wild child come from, not sleeping at home, running to this elegant place, disturbing the old man's cultivation of enlightenment?"
The fairy children around laughed, and a little fairy wearing a pink silk robe and two sheep's horns jumped in front of him, tilted her head, and said mischievously: "Grandpa Lu, everyone has gone to the inaccessible mountains and old forests for cultivation, but you have gone the opposite way and run to this lively place.
Lu Dongbin laughed: "Okay, you ghost spirit, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach?"
The fairy children laughed again, and the children had their surnames, and they looked at each other, instantly forming a circle, surrounding the little fairy with pigtails at the core, turning up like a "marquee", clapping their hands rhythmically while turning: "Pigtails, little roundworms, roundworms are pigtails, and pigtails become small roundworms." ”
The little fairy with pigtails blushed, covered her cheeks with both hands, stomped on the ground with one foot, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, you are roundworms!" After shouting for a while, seeing that this trick was not working, Suo sat on the ground with a buttocks, and cried with snot and tears, "You bully people, you have crooked eyes, and you are happy with others." Seeing that this trick didn't work, he pointed the finger directly at Lu Dongbin, "Grandpa Lu, it's all your fault! You are disrespectful to the old, and when you give people nicknames in front of so many bad children, I have to sue you in front of Grandma Xian and ask Grandma Xian Gu to punish you!"
Lu Dongbin couldn't sit still, jumped up, danced with his hands, and smiled: "Children, don't make trouble, although people are not rich without nicknames, it is not a good phenomenon to give such a dirty nickname to a little girl who is Bingqing and jade." I only have a metaphor, but you sew clothes with mallets------ and you are really (needles). But next time, remember that you can't just mock an innocent and kind life with a small topic. Respect for one life is the minimum criterion for another at all times. He leaned over and pulled the little fairy with pigtails from the ground, and said with a smile, "Fight the snake seven inches, capture the thief and capture the king, the little girl is good at the art of war, and she specializes in my 'life'." ”
The little fairy with pigtails jumped three feet high with joy, clapped her hands and shouted: "So, you admit that you are afraid of Grandma Xiangu? ”
Lu Dongbin was speechless, stunned under the surprised eyes of the fairy children, and then spoke out unashamedly, and laughed at himself: "There is no question of fear or not, I respect women and defend women's rights." ”
The "fairy aunt grandma" mentioned by the little fairy with pigtails is actually He Xiangu. As the only female compatriot among the Eight Immortals, He Xiangu's role is both a housekeeper and a nanny, and the other Seven Immortals are used to being slow, sleeping in the open air, moving from house to house, and living a very casual life, which is completely the kind of "drunk today". But since He Xiangu joined, Yuzi has undergone earth-shaking changes, living comfortably, and having delicious meals, everyone sincerely sighs: Whether there is a woman in the family or not is the same! Not only the elegant Lu Dongbin, but even Han Zhongli, whose surname is like a fire, is also bowing down and obeying his words in front of He Xiangu.
Surrounded by fairy children, Lu Dongbin became the "leader" of the "Boy Scouts" with pride, this is his super "fan base", although they are all "little things", but "education should start from the children", in order to educate sentient beings, it is not possible to care about their own interests and losses. He sat on the high place of the Lying Niu Rock, looked condescendingly at the well-behaved fairies who were sitting in a group, and said with a smile: "Children, do you remember the lesson I gave you yesterday?"
"Remember!" replied the fairies in one voice.
"Okay!" Lu Dongbin nodded frequently with satisfaction, brushing the dust, like a smug general solemnly giving an order, "In this case, then you can read it to me, and use your yin and yang reading sound as the bell for today's class." ”
So the fairy children shook their heads and recited:
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of all things, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is no desire, in order to observe its eyes, and there is always desire, in order to observe its position. The two come out of the same place, and the same name is the same thing. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all eyes. ”
This feeling is familiar, the children's voice is in the ears, and the fragrance of books is in the heart, and Lu Dongbin is as excited as ever. Nowadays, the practice of the immortals has long since deviated from the norm and is varied, that is, they do not go through the main gate, which of the teachings of the ancestors still listens? Which Taoist classics still read? Once the social order loses the restraint of morality, it will become chaotic and the dregs will be overflowing, and this is the root cause of the chaos in the heavenly palace. After learning from the pain, the eight immortals, Tianpeng, and princesses brainstormed, learned from the practices of the sages, and decided to treat the source of chaos first, and education started from the dolls. The princesses were busy with official duties due to their identities and canopies, so this heavy responsibility was assumed by the Eight Immortals. The eight immortals are full of spirit, each with its own ability, the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, or preaching, or teaching, or solving doubts, or combining reality to guide the maze, in short, it is painstaking, striving for the perfection of merit, not wanting to shock the world, winning a thousand years of good name, just want to come naturally, educate the gods to be good, honest and righteous, with their own blood, in exchange for the harmony and stability of the heavenly palace, and the government is clean and the people are smooth. This square "Woniu Stone School" is the experimental field of Lu Dongbin, Lu Dongbin has lofty ideals, is happy to do this, can not only teach by word and deed, but also be able to quote scriptures, knowledgeable, humorous, wise and generous, approachable, very popular with fairy children.
The fairy children were calm and relaxed, meticulous, and recited several paragraphs of the "Tao Te Ching" taught by the respected teacher Lu yesterday, and Lu Dongbin listened to it with his eyebrows fluttering, and his pride was overflowing. After the fairy children finished reciting, Teacher Lu opened with a sentence of "The child can be taught!" and explained the interpretation of the Tao Te Ching to the children with a loud and emotional voice. The cowhide is not blown, there is no diamond diamond, don't do porcelain work, Mr. Lu is a civil and military all-rounder, a rich man with five cars, a hidden mystery in his chest, what to do, and now he talks about the "Tao Te Ching" On the contrary, Mr. Lu talked about the course, the sea and the sky, the broad and broad sky, the broad and the wide, the good at starting from the historical development as the starting point, combined with real life and the environment, by quoting the romantic legends of ancient times and fascinating historical stories, edutainment, easy to understand, peel off the cocoon, imperceptibly, in a relaxed, cheerful and peaceful atmosphere, to complete the transformation of knowledge. Lu Dongbin spoke wildly, the fairy children listened to it as if they were drunk, it was when they thought together, no one noticed that behind the fairy children, there was an uninvited guest at this time: six-edged face, red skin, mouse eyes, caterpillar green eyebrows, cockroach nose, black lips and yellow teeth, two dead leaves and ears each missing half of the side, this is the famous "magic stick" in the heavenly palace, nicknamed "four is not like eight do not rely on", the nickname is loud, but the real name has been forgotten by the world since then. Probably because of the evil deeds, they have stepped into the ranks of well-dressed beasts.
Among the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Palace, he is a well-known "all-rounder": he is unforgettable, well-read, well-informed, straightforward and hearty, and the combined effect of these factors has made him Lu Dongbin's reputation. Under the fame, Lu Dongbin was not proud and complacent, but worried about the current situation of the Heavenly Palace, and was heartbroken, and preaching and teaching was his attempt to change the chaos in the Heavenly Palace. Teacher Lu was immersed in the ideal world he had created, his spirit was full of energy, and his witty words were full of witty words, and suddenly, the afterglow of his eyes was attracted by the "four is not like eight do not rely on" among the students who listened to the class, and his heart suddenly "groaned", and his mouth seemed to swallow a fly, and a feeling of vomiting arose.
