Chapter 37 Contemplating the Tao Canon, the Tao is different
Just as Lin Beichen turned around.
He finally discovered the Heaven Watching Master behind him.
“?”
Lin Beichen subconsciously took a step back, just imagine that a person suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him, no one should be startled!
"This old Taoist is really true!"
"The ...... of such a big place as the observation deck"
"Why are you standing behind yourself?"
"How scary!"
The next second.
He realized his gaffe, and hurriedly smiled apologetically at the old Taoist in front of him, nodded, and then turned sideways to avoid the observation master and leave the observation deck.
When the two passed by.
Guan Tianshi said loudly: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”
His voice directly stopped Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen looked sideways at Master Guan Tian, and saw that he was also looking at himself, his face was full of doubts, was this calling himself?
At this time, Guan Tianshi's left index finger and little finger stretched out, and the thumb pressed on the middle finger and ring finger, pinched a gesture and placed it in front of him, bowed slightly, and said: "Xiaoyou, the poor Taoist has been observing you since the beginning, and seeing that you have extraordinary roots and an extraordinary temperament, you are the immortal material of the Tao. ”
Lin Beichen: ????
Why does this sound so familiar?
Wait a minute, he won't take out a copy of the Nyorai Divine Palm and sell it to himself for ten yuan, right?
For a moment, he thought that he had met a liar, but after careful observation, he saw that the master of the day looked calm, his eyes were clear and pure, and he did not feel like a liar.
If he wanted to let Master Guan Tian know about this idea, Master Guan Yi would have to vomit three liters of old blood.
I was appointed as the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!
There are countless disciples who want to worship under their own disciples!
My own unsolicited invitation was instead regarded as a liar?
What is the reason of heaven?!
Fortunately, he didn't know, though.
At this time, he saw that Lin Beichen was hesitant, and mistakenly thought that he was thinking about whether to return to the Daomen, so he didn't urge, responded with an indifferent smile, and waited patiently for his answer.
Lin Beichen finally felt that the old Taoist in front of him was not a liar, after all, the Heavenly Master's Mansion was under the observation deck, and he would arrive at it after walking a few steps, so he let himself enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion...... If it's a liar, isn't it being debunked in minutes?
Liars can't be fools, right?
This also made his impression of the Heavenly Master also change 180 degrees.
"This old Taoist can see my extraordinary ......"
"Is there really two hits?"
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Beichen couldn't help but have the idea of asking for advice, so he asked, "Dao Chief, can you ask?" ”
Hearing this, Guan Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "But it doesn't hurt to ask." ”
Lin Beichen pondered for a moment and asked, "Can the Dao Master know spells?" Taoism can have thunder law? ”
Observation of the Heavens: ???
He originally thought that Lin Beichen was going to ask some ideological questions about Taoism, and suddenly felt that this child was not ordinary, but he didn't expect to ask such a ...... Interesting question?
Master Guan Tianshi carefully looked at Lin Beichen and made sure that he didn't look away, so he said embarrassedly: "Xiaoyou, depending on your age, you must also be a student of literature, remember to believe in science!" ”
The Taoist did not answer directly, but he truly expressed the truth.
Lin Beichen was slightly stunned, and a trace of disappointment crossed his eyes.
Seeing that Lin Beichen was silent, the Taoist chief took the opportunity to invite and said: "Little friend, if you don't have an answer in your heart, you might as well go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion with the poor Dao, and the poor Dao will take you to see the Taoist scriptures and understand the situation of the 'Dao'?" ”
Lin Beichen's eyes lit up.
"Daodian?"
"As the birthplace of Taoism, the Heavenly Master's Mansion may have many treasures that cannot be searched on the Internet?"
"This relationship is good, and this trip has gained a lot."
He immediately agreed, and then, under the leadership of Master Guan Tian, he walked along a small road, without passing the square below, and directly entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion and came to the Tibetan Scripture Building-the Book Pavilion.
All the way up to the top.
Compared to the lower floors, the top floor has not much space, only a few bookshelves, and there are not many books placed on it.
Guan Tianshi said: "Little friend, these are the Taoist classics of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you can read them." ”
The tone of his voice was filled with confidence and pride.
These Taoist canons are his confidence.
It is the heritage of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!
It can even be said that ......
It is the most precious delicacy of Taoism!
After Lin Beichen entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he saw many Taoist masters respectfully greeting the Heavenly Master, and he knew that he had met a truly virtuous and respected Heavenly Master, and he had more respect in his heart.
"Thank you, Master Guan Yiyi."
Lin Beichen bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then carefully picked up a Taoist scripture and looked through it carefully.
A ......
Two ......
……
It didn't take long for Lin Beichen to read five or six books, and at this time, he was already frowning slightly.
Because......
He found that these Taoist texts were the same as what he had known before, and they were all recorded in Taoist thoughts.
It's a pity that it belongs to a masterpiece of thought and has nothing to do with the cultivation method, but it seems acceptable, after all, this is the reality.
And the content of these classics, I searched for them on the Internet before, and I saw them, and they are not mysterious ancient books that Taoism does not spread.
It can only be said that these ancient books of Longhu Mountain belong to rubbing, which are relatively old and have age value, but the content in them is ...... In the new century Internet era, everything can be found.
But there are also some books that are more out of the way, but I haven't read them before, which aroused Lin Beichen's interest.
I don't know how long it has been, as he finished reading a book of Taoist scriptures, he found that the content recorded in these Taoist scriptures is not without any reference value, and many of the contents are worth learning.
But......
But it is not borrowed from the thunder method that he is studying now.
As for where can we learn from it?
He himself is not very clear, after all, he has only just embarked on the road of self-supremacy, and his understanding of the road ahead is also very vague.
But there is such a feeling that maybe I will use it in the future?
And other than that.
He also has a new understanding.
In the long history of Taoism, there are not no heavenly masters who have realized something in a flash of inspiration, and the heavenly masters who wrote these Taoist scriptures have at least had an epiphany.
For example, famous Taoist scriptures such as "Hug Puzi" and "Taiyi Jinhualu", as well as famous Taoist heavenly masters such as Chen Shu and Lu Dongbin.
They all had a momentary epiphany outside the world, and then created all kinds of Taoist masterpieces, which inspired hundreds of thousands of years of Taoist thought changes in later generations.
And this is just Taoism, there is no shortage of celebrities of various schools of thought such as Buddhism, I am afraid that they have had the opportunity to have an epiphany, and they have left behind literary masterpieces.
It can be said that this writing of the ancients is quite powerful, just a moment of epiphany, the door of the spirit was opened, leaving a classic masterpiece that will be passed on to future generations.
It's just that......
The difference between them and Lin Beichen is that the state of their epiphany is only fleeting, as short as a moment, and as long as a few seconds or minutes, and then they pursue this state again all their lives, but they have no chance to have a second epiphany.
And the books they wrote about the state of pursuing the heavenly machine of enlightenment became these Taoist texts, and became an important idea in the origin of a religion.
It's a pity that they didn't embark on the path of cultivation after all!
"Now it seems that Taoism really does not have a cultivation method."
"These Taoist patriarchs with high comprehension may have realized something by taking advantage of the epiphany, but because they can't enter that state again, they can't extend the dots into lines and planes, and they can't do it after all."
"Come to think of it, if there really is such a thing as a cultivation method, how can it not be circulated for thousands of years since ancient times? How could the state not know? ”
"I have an understanding of the heavens, and I have the conditions that my ancestors did not have......
"After all, it is the only law, and one person walks alone."
Lin Beichen sighed in his heart, but more of it was actually lost.
The idea of wanting to learn from and refer to it has failed.
This path of cultivation and comprehension is destined to be lonely.
He looked at the Guan Yi Shi on the side, his heart was immortal, and he couldn't help but ask: "Guan Yi Shi, since Taoism has no magic, what is it to cultivate?" ”
"It's the heart, it's the mind."
Guan Tianshi pondered for a moment and gave the answer in his heart.
Lin Beichen felt that it was reasonable when he heard it, and then he had nothing to hesitate, and politely refused: "Master Guan Tian, thank you for your appreciation, but I think I will consider joining Taoism in the future, and now my studies have not been completed, and everything is not over." ”
If Taoism is helpful to his Lei Fa, it is not impossible for him to join Taoism.
But......
Since it doesn't help Leifa at the moment.
Then why bother to become a Taoist priest?
If you practice to the point where you need Taoist ideas as inspiration in the future, come to Longhu Mountain again......
Guan Tianshi was a little stunned, he didn't expect Lin Beichen to make such a sudden decision, he thought about it for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Xiaoyou, you seem to have a deep obsession with 'magic'. ”
"But there is no such thing, and now it is a new era, and we should believe that science is."
"But it doesn't conflict with Taoist thinking and seclusion, I think, you want to practice martial arts?"
"Although Taoism does not have so-called spells, Taoist martial arts exist, which is also practice, and poor Taoism can teach you."
"Martial arts? Not really. Lin Beichen smiled politely, shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This is not what I want. ”
Guan Tianshi was slightly stunned, puzzled: "Then you are ......"
Lin Beichen was speechless for a moment, and then muttered: "Yes, the Tao is different!" ”
After that, he looked towards the staircase, and the meaning was very tactful and obvious, he should leave!
Seeing this, the Guan Yi Shi didn't say anything more.
Taoism is about non-action, non-fighting.
That is, with fate.
Since there is no fate, it is inconvenient to cling to it anymore.
He smiled in return, personally sent Lin Beichen out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and watched him go away, shaking his head regretfully and sighing slightly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity."
"Observe the teacher of the day."
At this time, the old man pulled his little granddaughter over, he originally planned to take his little granddaughter to go down the mountain again, but he didn't think about it, and he met the master of the day while strolling.
Guan Tianshi turned his head to look, the expression on his face was surprised, obviously, he and the old man were old acquaintances.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
Guan Tianshi pinched his hand and bowed slightly: "Master Cai, why are you here today?" ”
"This is not the summer vacation of the little granddaughter, take her to listen to the sermons of the Taoist elders, and sharpen her temperament."
As he spoke, Cai Lao glanced at the little girl.
The little girl understood, bowed slightly, and said sweetly: "It's good to watch the teacher for a day!" ”
"Good, good."
The master of the day was smiling at this call.
At this time, Cai Lao Yuguang saw Lin Beichen's back that was about to disappear, and he immediately recognized who it was.
He wasn't a good person to inquire, but for some reason, after seeing Master Guan Tian go to Lin Beichen, he always wanted to ask what was going on.
"Master Guantian, I saw that you took the initiative to talk to the young man at the observation deck before, and then took him away, and just now I saw you here alone and sighed a pity, what are you ......?"
"Hey!"
Hearing this, the smile on the face of Master Guan Tian became a little unnatural, and he sighed: "When I came down from the top of the mountain today, Poor Dao saw that the young man's temperament was dusty, and he fell in love with it at a glance...... It's a pity! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: "The Tao is different, the Tao is different, and the young man's refusal is also full of Taoism, what a pity!" ”
Cai Lao: ?
He didn't expect Master Guan Tian to be able to give Lin Beichen such a high evaluation, and he couldn't help but look at it again.
Although it has long been gone.
But this moment......
Lin Beichen's impression in his mind was even more profound!
……
The other side.
Lin Beichen quickly got on the cable car and returned, looking at the scenery outside the cable car, his mood was completely different from the one he came from.
When he came, his heart was full of anxiety and urgency, and he had no time to take care of the beautiful scenery outside the window.
At this moment, he was calm and quiet, not anxious, taking in the scenery and enjoying a comfortable time.
"It's not just about traveling ...... this time"
"It's also a relaxing place to travel!"
"If Lei Fa doesn't succeed, there will be opportunities in the future, but there is no need to mess up the rhythm and ruin the essence of life because of this."
Soon, the cable car reached the end point.
Lin Beichen got off the cable car.
Just about to step out of the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain.
Suddenly!
He saw ......
There is a boxy stone tablet in the middle of the middle directly below the mountain gate, and there is a bright red flag next to it!
"What is this?"
Lin Beichen walked over curiously and looked at the stele.
But I saw that there were lines of words engraved on it.
It begins with "Report on Religion in China"
And then the following is the content - "As the only religion in China, Taoism is the carrier of traditional Chinese culture, do not be superstitious!" ”
Lin Beichen: ......
With the progress of science and technology, the theory of epiphany is regarded as metaphysics, and gradually marginalized in superstition.
Isn't that the case with a one-day teacher?
He is the deepest in his teachings, and he talks about believing in science.
At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.
"There is no cultivation method in the world, let alone a thunder method."
"But because of my ......"
"There should be 'Fa' in this world!"
He shook his head regretfully, but he was full of ambition again.
Lin Beichen's mood changed drastically, and then confidently stepped out of the gate of Longhu Mountain, went to the real world, and found out!
……
on the bus.
Lin Beichen, who had nothing to do, finally took out his mobile phone that he hadn't taken out along the way, intending to report the safety of his parents, but before he could unlock it, he saw a dense message box stacked on the screen.
It's all messages from Zheng Xia!
[Son, I just checked, why did it rain in these places you went to that day? Do you want to refund your ticket first and re-plan? 】
[Son, have you arrived at Longhu Mountain? Is it raining heavily? 】
[Have fun, aren't you?] 】
【……】
Lin Beichen read every message seriously, although they were all simple concerns, but they pierced his heart, and he could even imagine the picture of his mother nagging.
[Mom, I had so much fun, I just looked at my phone! 】
[Well, it's worthy of my mother, I've observed it too carefully, I really look at it, it's all thunderstorms, I'll study and study it in a while! 】
【……】
When Lin Beichen sent a message here, Zheng Xia immediately came back over there.
The mother and son chatted with each other, and soon, the bus came to the airport.
Lin Beichen said a simple goodbye to his mother, and then got on the plane and flew to the next stop of his travels.
But alas......
It was not as smooth as the first stop Longhu Mountain, after he arrived at the destination, the thunderstorm day originally reported by the weather forecast became a sunny day, and the feeling was naturally not understood.
And......
This is not just the case for the second stop, but the same happens for subsequent trips.
Of course, this is not the case.
But......
Despite the thunderstorms, there is still no progress in this perception.
However, fortunately, Lin Beichen's mood has improved, and he is not impatient because of this, and is actively looking for other ways to try to understand, and at the same time enjoying the trip.
On this day, Hangzhou City.
Four Seasons Hotel.
Lin Beichen was lying on the bed.
Looking out the window at the night sky, the dark clouds were thin and there were no stars in sight.
With an expectant smile on his face, he said to himself, "Look, tomorrow will definitely be like the weather forecast, there will be a big thunderstorm, this kind of weather is ...... I wonder if I'll feel something? ”
