Chapter 37 Under the Plum Tree, I saw a young man and an old man talking
On the avenue, a horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped.
The rest of the pedestrians on the surrounding road all stepped back in unison when they saw the sign on the carriage.
Even if there were other people who drove the luxurious carriage, decorated with silk and satin, and had a very arrogant whip, when they saw the carriage, they all changed color in unison, and then hurriedly retreated, let the simple carriage go forward, and the coachman who drove the carriage sat up straight and thanked him politely.
The rest of the people hurriedly returned the salute.
Seeing that the carriage was far away, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
Not for anything else.
Just because this car pulls the horse beast, it is not vulgar.
This is a descendant of the Cui family from Qinghe County.
And in front of this road, there is a mountain, the clouds are swirling, when the carriage stopped, there was already a white-haired Taoist waiting in front of the mountain, and he smiled and arched his hand: "Is it the young lady of the Cui family of Qinghe?" It's been a long time. ”
A crisp voice in the carriage replied, "There is a chief of the road waiting here." ”
"In the hearts of the younger generations, they are really ashamed."
Immediately a person stepped out of the carriage, it was a girl about fourteen years old, born with a pair of sword eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, facial features are already extremely beautiful, and the temperament is even more heroic, but the sword eyebrows are too straight, and there is a little red mark in the center of the eyebrows, the sideburns are hanging down, and she is holding a long sword.
It's like a sword immortal in the world.
In addition, two more came down from the carriage, one was a girl in red with drooping hair, born eccentric, and the other was an elegant young man.
The girl with red marks on her eyebrows held the salute and said loudly:
"Cui Yuanzhen of the Cui family, come here to worship the mountain."
The old Taoist priest smiled.
Seeing that the girl was obviously fourteen years old, but the vitality and essence of the spirit had been raised quite well, but it was a pity that she was born with evil spirits, I am afraid that this body cultivates, although she is talented, she has also experienced a lot of disasters, she restrained her mind, stroked her beard and smiled:
"I have heard for a long time that the youngest daughter of the Cui family is talented, like an immortal, and when I see it today, it is true."
"The Taoist is too famous."
The girl bowed neatly, then turned back to the young man and said, "This is my brother." ”
"This is Mr. Su Shengyuan's daughter, Su Yue'er, who will accompany me up the mountain today."
Lao Dao said with a smile: "The children of the Cui family are indeed talented. ”
"Su Xiaoxiang's name, the old man has also heard of it, he is a sage."
"Both of you are invited, too."
Su Yue'er was surprised: "Do you recognize my father?" ”
The old Taoist laughed dumbly.
He replied, "Your father asked me the same question when he was your age." ”
Immediately ignoring Su Yue'er's consternation, she turned sideways and calmly brushed her sleeves.
The clouds behind him rolled up and swept up, and the picture that I had seen suddenly rippled layer by layer, and if there was a big curtain, it suddenly opened-
The mountains are majestic, and the cranes are flying.
There is a majestic atmosphere in front of you.
"Three, please."
Cui Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he looked up to see that the mountain gate was majestic, with a couplet, holding a sword in one hand, and muttering to himself.
"The Tao runs through yin and yang, and the Three Realms Psychic Division hides."
"Yunheng Taidai, Wanshan Jishou worships Tianzun."
"What a spirit!"
The old Taoist laughed, swept his robe, the clouds steamed, and the clouds rose under his feet, lifting the three of them up.
So calmly, Tengyun controlled, straight into the mountains.
The world's Taoist gates, the one who respects the leader, is called the sect.
The clouds and clouds circulate here, permeate the peaks, there are Lingbao Baozhi mushrooms, growing everywhere; Strange beasts and rare birds, walking aside, there are cranes in the sky fluttering their wings in the sky, there are spirit deer chasing the grass on the ground, and ordinary people forget their worries.
It is actually the first of the world's caves and blessed lands, raising the masses of students, and referring to the Taoism.
If ordinary people have no chance, it is difficult to step into this Taoist sect, even ordinary disciples have to practice under the mountain gate, and only by cultivating the innate Qi can they enter the mountain gate; When you reach the level of a living person, you can receive the right to use a mountain peak, start a sect, and recruit a wide range of disciples to inherit the lineage you have created.
The old Taoist rode the clouds and fog, and at the same time, this mountain gate was introduced to the three people.
Su Yue'er's eyes lit up with brilliance, and she said, "That old immortal, are you a real person?" ”
Lao Dao was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "It's not a real person, you can call me an old Taoist." ”
Su Yue'er nodded, she looked around, saw all kinds of beautiful scenery, and felt in her heart that it was really good to be able to leave that small town and come outside during this year's New Year's Festival, if not, how could she see such a scenery? Not to mention being able to meet a character like Cui Yuanzhen.
The youngest daughter of the Cui family of the five surnames and seven sects also invited them to participate in the trials of the Daomen.
It seems to be a fantasy, called [Refining the Heart], seeing wine and wealth.
It's just a pity that Su Yue'er couldn't see through the wealth.
And the young man who was in high spirits and went to pick them up in the town was already defeated by the word wine.
Alcohol is not just drinking, it is a luxury.
Wealth is not simply gold and silver, but a lot of prosperity.
And the lady of the Cui family, who was born beautifully and like an immortal, was calm and unhurried, and when she wore a stick of incense, she experienced wine-colored wealth and Taoism, and her heart remained unchanged, and she got up with a sword and smashed the jade pendant used in the trial.
The two of them are not qualified to enter the mountain gate, but they can come here to send Cui Yuanzhen off, and they immediately regret it in their hearts, and said:
"It's a pity, it's a pity...... It's just too hard. ”
The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled: "That's just a simple refining of the heart." ”
"It's just that if you can't see through the illusion, then what if someone really gives you a thousand taels of gold in reality, and you can ride dozens of cars; Or maybe they will introduce you to some excellent karma, so that you can live a complete life; What's more, if you live thousands of years, how can you let it go? ”
"And these can't be seen through, can't be put down."
"One day, your life will come to an end, and there are other ways to mutilate the common people to continue your life."
"You can't let it go."
"In this way, you can't preach the Fa-rectification, and you can't preach the right path."
Su Yue'er said: "Can anyone really let go of these?" ”
Lao Dao replied with a smile: "Maybe? ”
Su Yue'er thought for a while and said curiously: "Then what is the biggest refining heart?" ”
The old man thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I haven't heard of the biggest and hardest, but there is a way to do it in the Daozang."
"It seems like it's going to take a lifetime."
"There are many, many people who are trapped in it, and they can't extricate themselves anymore."
Su Yue'er said:
"That's too hard."
Thinking that I had not even been able to carry a dream, I felt fear and fear in my heart when I thought of that long life's dream.
Subconsciously shrunk his neck back.
The old Taoist rode the clouds and fog and took them to one of the peaks, the mountains and rivers they saw were majestic, the scenery was very good, Cui Yuan was really looking at the scenery, and suddenly raised his eyes to see the highest peak in the middle from afar, and asked curiously: "Senior, why does there seem to be no legal vein on this peak?" ”
Lao Dao raised his eyes and looked at it, stroked his beard and sighed: "That's Tianzhu Peak." ”
"There are seventy-two peaks in my sect, the big peak Tianzhu Peak is the head of the seventy-two peaks, it should be three days, look around the land of thousands of miles, see the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, and spread the Dharma for thousands of years, this Tianzhu Peak does not have any Dharma lineage, I heard that there is nothing on it, only a very ordinary Taoist temple."
There are no spirit beasts, and there are no disciples.
There is only one Taoist, sitting cross-legged in it.
Even if it is the first seat of each faction, the living real people have no chance to step on this mountain gate.
In the past few days, people came and went to practice, and some of them had never heard the name of this Taoist when they went up the mountain, and they had never seen this person's face until they died, as if there was no such person in Tianzhu Peak.
"Who's that man?"
"Hahaha, good question, I want to know about the old Taoist priest."
"It's about an immortal, right?"
The old man smiled with emotion: "I came to the mountain at your age, and two hundred years have passed now. ”
"That mountain is still like that."
"Maybe when I live to the end of my life, this mountain will still be like that."
"Come on, come on, don't mention this matter, I'll take you to see the first real person of the lineage."
Lao Dao took them to meet the real person, the real person had an ethereal temperament, dignified and calm, Cui Yuanzhen looked solemn, and was about to meet him, but he saw the real person's expression stagnant, raised his eyes slightly, in the void, the clouds were drifting, and the crisp voice of the jade chime could be faintly heard, and the real person's face changed suddenly, and suddenly said: "You three of you wait, the old man has something, and go!" ”
Before the words landed, the real person directly turned into a streamer and flew away.
Everyone was stunned, raised their eyes to look outside, and saw that the yellow auspicious clouds were vast and heavy, and one after another streamers flew away, either riding on the clouds and driving the fog, or riding on the back of the crane, straight into the highest Tianzhu Peak, gorgeous and dazzling, making people stunned, the old Taoist seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and he moved forward step by step, and said: "This, this...... Could it be ......?"
Cui Yuanzhen said: "Is that Taoist chief out of the customs?" ”
Su Yue'er and the young man of the Cui family sighed: "I don't know what an important thing it is. ”
Many real people gathered in front of the simple Taoist temple on Tianzhu Peak.
The Taoist who was unknown how many years old had walked out of the Taoist temple.
At this moment, he is holding a piece of paper with poems written in new ink.
I look down on it.
Many real people are extremely respectful.
I don't know how long it has been, but the Taoist who has been meditating here for thousands of years put down the blank paper in his hand and suddenly said:
"I just meditated, as if I was not a dream, as if I saw a picture, so I woke up."
Many real people are curious.
When meditating, the four doors should be broken and the original spirit should be converged.
What kind of thing could have woken up this person from meditation?!
One stepped forward and asked:
"Dare to ask your seniors, what did you see?"
The man put the white paper on the table, pondered for a long time, lowered his eyes to look at the world, recalled the breath he felt when he was meditating, he had already controlled this side of the world, the world was huge, and there was really someone who could let himself be so close to the distance without noticing, if it wasn't for the young man [deliberately] revealing his breath, he wouldn't have been able to detect it......
I recalled that the young man's eyes were smiling, the old man stroked his beard, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom, as if illusory, but the white paper fell, but it was very real.
Obviously, there is such a means, but it shows its breath.
Too deliberate.
Isn't it just to remind me that I should not meditate here, that there is no point in simply meditating and practicing?
The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortal......
Is this verse self-proclaimed?
So I couldn't help but feel up and down in my heart, and after a long time, I said lightly with a few sighs:
"Under the plum blossom tree, I saw a young man talking to an old man."
"That's it."
