Chapter 367: On the Dao
"Brother Chu is a Jinshi and the first, and he has a certain introduction, how dare he mention the word teaching. Du Du said with a smile. "The twelve categories of the earthly "Daozang", Wenqu Xingjun once sent immortal officials to bring them to the Heavenly Palace. I have also taken a cursory look at the texts, runes, spiritual maps, spy records, precepts, prestige, biographies, etc., arranged by later generations, which are complicated and disorganized, as well as praises and performances written by earthly Taoists. Wenqu Xingjun sent it to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor said: The art of earthly small success is not Dafa, and it is not worth mentioning. This was not included in the Heavenly Book Pavilion and was returned to the Nether. β
After hearing this, Piao Ranzi asked again: "I don't know what the seven parts of the current Tianshu Pavilion are?"
"Seven floors down the top of the pavilion, according to the three caves and four auxiliary collection of scriptures. "Exhaustively. "They are the cave god department granted by Taishang Laojun, the cave true department granted by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the cave Xuan department granted by Lingbao Tianzun, these are the three Qing family transmissions, and they have also spread to the lower realm, and they are divided into three series: the "Three Emperors Sutra" system, the "Shangqing Sutra" system, and the "Lingbao Sutra" system. The four auxiliaries are the supplements and explanations of the three cave scriptures, which are passed on by the disciples of the three Qing dynasties: Taixuan is the auxiliary of the true part of the cave, Tianping is the auxiliary of the cave Xuanbu, Taiqing is the auxiliary of the cave god department, and Zhengyi is the auxiliary of the three caves. This second floor of the pavilion is a book of scriptures. β
After listening to it, Piaoranzi secretly marveled. At this time, the sound of crutches on crutches was faintly heard outside the room: click, click, clickγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» from far to near.
"Brother Du, have you read all these Taoist scriptures over the years?"
Although Du is dull, he has also read all the books. Du said with a conceited smile and stood up: "Brother Chu, my master is here, I should go out to greet him, you sit down for a while." β
"I'll be with you. Drifting Ziyan could sit again, get up, and go out of the room as soon as he could, to the stairs.
The sound of clattering crutches came down the stairs, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a blind man, dressed as a Taoist, walking down the stairs with a cane.
"The master is above, and the disciple is polite. "Bow respectfully.
"Who is the person you are talking to?" asked the blind man.
"He is Wenchang Tiankao Jinshi Chu Piaoran. β
"Oh, what's the official position now?"
"Warden of Pegasus. After finishing speaking, he said to Piao Ranzi: "This is my master, a blind Taoist." β
"Chu Piaoran has seen the Dao Chief. Piao Ranzi bowed his hand.
"Hehe, Chu Piaoran, hey, you have been in Buddhism for thousands of years, and now the breath of sandalwood is completely lost, it's a pity, it's a pity. The Heavenly Blind Daoist came downstairs and sighed on his back.
Piao Ranzi was speechless, he returned from Lingshan, Zhang Tianshi smelled his sandalwood scent, and now this blind Taoist mentioned it again, I don't know how he knew.
"This Chu Piaoran is the one who sent him down to Tianhe with his people and horses, right?"
Du Du's face looked embarrassed, and he nodded: "Yes, it was I who helped him subdue and frightened the horse, and I knocked him down to the Tianhe." How does Master know?"
"Hehehe, although Master doesn't have eyes, he has heart. The Heavenly Blind Daoist smiled: "Do you remember the events of that year?"
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Du Du didn't speak.
"Chu Piaoran, I want you to talk about it. The Heavenly Blind Daoist said: "That year, I borrowed my eyes from Dudu, and I gave my eyes to the Master, but how can I walk? I said: You see I don't have eyes, don't I walk like this? I said, "Since you don't have the ability of mine, forget it, and when you have the ability of mine, it will not be too late to lend it to me." β
"Master, I'm ashamed, I don't have such a skill as Shizun until now. "Exhaustively.
"Both Shengyu and He Shengliang" sighed the Tianblind Taoist.
"Dao Chief, what does this mean?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"You don't understand, someone does. "The sky is blind and humane. "Chu Piaoran, are you still thinking, how can I, a blind man, have such ability?"
"That's right, Dao Chief, you can hear thousands of miles, and you can transmit sound through the air, it's really not simple. Piaoranzi said.
"Hehehe, I wasn't blind. "The sky is blind and humane. "But I don't have the ability to do that. β
"Dao Chief, then why are you blind?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"It's a long story. The Heavenly Blind Daoist casually poked open the door of the room and pointed inside: "Come and see." β
Piaoranzi followed his finger and saw that the room was full of scriptures, but it was all covered with dust.
"Chu Piaoran, don't be surprised. "The Heavenly Blind Daoist seems to see Piao Ranzi's expression, so Piao Ranzi always feels that this Daoist is not really blind.
"This place is full of the works of the Sanqing and his disciples, and when I came here, I read these books with hunger and thirst, and at last, I blinded my eyes. The Heavenly Blind Daoist spoke calmly.
"Dao Chief, can you blind your eyes when you read a book?" Piao Ranzi seemed to not believe it.
"Yes, of course. The eye is the seedling of the heart, and when the blood of the heart is exhausted, the seedling withers and dies, and the eyes are blind, which is what I expected. β
Piao Ranzi listened to it, and couldn't bear it. The heavenly blind Taoist said: "The naked eye is blind, but the heart is spiritual." The naked eye can only see the surface phenomena of things, although we can clearly see the length, square, and color of all things in the world, but how can we perceive the origin of all things?"
"So, the Taoist chief has been blessed by misfortune?"
"Chu Piaoran, do you want to be blessed by misfortune?" asked the Heavenly Blind Daoist, turning his face.
"I don't want to. Piao Ranzi said: "Although I like to read, I won't see blindness." β
"Well, you don't want to forget it. The Heavenly Blind Taoist walked into the room full of scriptures and said, "Apprentice, you have seen it for many years, why are your eyes not blind?"
"I'm afraid that I didn't work as hard as my master, so my heart and soul were exhausted. He looked at the room full of scriptures and sorted them out. "More importantly, I'm afraid that I won't be able to recognize the way without eyes. β
"Hey, I've already shown you the way, why do you still say you can't see the way? The Heavenly Blind Daoist paused on his crutches and said.
"Some teachers teach, but disciples are dull. "I listened to it all, but I was ashamed.
"Chu Piaoran, why are you studying?"
"Reading is reasonable. β
"Now there are tens of thousands of scriptures in the Tibetan scripture hall, why don't you read them?"
"This γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Piao Ranzi felt that although this Taoist leader's persuasion was well-intentioned, it was also difficult for the strongman. At a glance, he saw the scroll opened in his hand, and there was a silverfish in it, crawling slowly.
"Dao Chief, there's a silverfish crawling in the scriptures. Piaoranzi said.
"So what?"
"The universe is so vast, you silverfish, you are too ignorant, in this pile of old papers, drill around, when will you get to the head?" said to the book silverfish.
The sky is blind, and the end is silent. Piaoranzi looked at the silverfish and composed another poem:
Once in the old paper, I am too infatuated, and I am looking for it to this day.
The Three Realms are so vast that there will never be a day to go here.
"Apprentice, do you understand?"
"Master, I understand. "Exhaustively. "It's so crazy to get into the old paper"
"Chu Piaoran, you are in Buddhism, but you are learning the Zen Taoism of Bodhidharma?"
"I haven't learned, I don't know. Piao Ranzi shook his head and said, just now he just looked at the book silverfish and felt it, and he didn't know what the secret of Zen Buddhism was.
"Chu Piaoran has an extraordinary understanding. "The sky is blind and humane. "The Buddha once said: A grain of yellow sand hides 3,000 worlds, but I don't understand this truth, and it affects my Tao fruit. Chu Jinshi, can you explain a thing or two?"
Piaoranzi looked at the scriptures in the room, this is an attic, this attic, such a room, there are no less than dozens, how many books are there to hide.
"May I ask the chief and Brother Du, have you read all these scriptures? Piao Ranzi asked.
"I've seen them all. "Exhaustively.
"I can recite more than I have seen. "The sky is blind and humane. "Please Chu Jinshi pick out one at random, say the title of the book, and I will recite the full text to you. β
"Hehehe, that's not necessary. Piaoranzi said. "It seems that Dao Chang and Brother Du, I don't know how many thousands of books I have spent?"
"Of course" is the end.
"It's not just tens of millions, it's hundreds of thousands. "The sky is blind and humane.
"Well, let me ask you, where have all the books you read?" said Piaoranzi.
"It's all in the head. β
"Yes, it's all in our heads. β
"Excuse me, do each of these books count as a three thousand worlds?"
"Absolutely. The Taoist scriptures here are all broad and profound. "Exhaustively.
"Then I don't understand. Piao Ranzi pointed to his head: "A head is the size of a fist, how can it fit 10,000 books? If it can fit 10,000 books, how many worlds will it not fit?" V
