I nodded, and then she got angry, "Hey, what do you mean?" Ignoring people".
smiled helplessly, "I didn't ignore you, I just didn't want to talk."
"Hmph, I don't want to speak, I see that you are simply ignoring my existence, hmph, this girl is so beautiful, or she has been ignored once, you are finished."
I didn't bother to pay attention to it, buried my head in the e-book, and after a while, the woman spoke again, "Hey, can you grant me a request?" ”
"What request?"
"That's it..... That's the case, am I coming to Mount Emei once, or traveling alone at a time, can you take me along? The girl's face turned a little red, and her voice was slurred.
I was a little speechless, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" ”
"I don't look like you when I see you," the girl replied with a raised face.
"Oh? So sure? ”
"Of course, my instincts are accurate."
"Hehe, then your intuition is very accurate, can you tell me what kind of person I am?"
"Hmm..... I think you're a person with a story."
"That's all?"
"Well, that's all".
I shook my head and smiled, "I hope your instincts will be accurate."
The atmosphere fell silent again, and after a while, she asked again: "Hey, my name is Wang Ling, what is your name?" ”
"Liu Zhihua".
"Oh, a nice name. Oh, by the way, did you also come to Mount Emei once? ”
&039;"Hmm".
"Hmph, it's just a piece of wood, a rotten piece of wood."
A few hours, I finally arrived at Mount Emei, and as soon as I went down, she chased after me, "Hey, wait for me, didn't you say okay, you want to take me along?" ”
I was still silent, neither refused nor agreed, when I arrived at Mount Emei, I naturally found a place to live first, I casually found a hotel at home, and lived in, Wang Ling also followed, and the room I wanted was next to me, how did I feel like I was glued by a dog skin plaster.
The morning came, and it was already noon, so I planned to eat the meal, rest and start climbing Mount Emei.
However, the things here are indeed a bit expensive, the most common bowl of cold noodles in Sichuan costs ten yuan, and I only sell three yuan at home.
No matter how expensive it is, you have to eat it, so Wang Ling actually sat down, which made me want to get angry, and after eating the cold powder in a few bites, I took a digital camera and started climbing the mountain.
Mount Emei, but one of the most famous mountains in Sichuan, has a long history, and it is said that it is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, but later it was occupied by Buddhism.
The whole mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountain falls and falls, there is a faint dragon momentum, towering people in the clouds, people can't see it really.
As the old saying goes, "There are immortals in Shu, which is for Emei".
I read this sentence softly, if there is really an immortal, then Emei is a fairyland.
I climbed Mount Emei, looking into the distance, the white clouds rolling, as if I was in the scene, feeling the breath of detachment from the world, at this moment both body and mind seem to be flying.
With a sharp breath, I yelled at the cliff a few times, startling a flying wild, and the tourists around me looked at me like they were looking at me.
"Haha, you can't be stupid, right?" Wang Ling jumped out behind me.
"yes, I'm stupid".
"Hey, my brain doesn't have a fever", Wang Ling raised her hand and touched my forehead, "Why are you talking nonsense?" ”
"If you're not going to play, why are you following me?"
"Follow you, see what you're doing, I'm just walking around anyway."
"Whatever you want".
Inadvertently, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a colorful light flash in the mountains in front of me, and then I saw a rainbow emerge from the clouds.
Suddenly, the tourists around exclaimed, saying that they had seen the miracle, and they were busy taking pictures.
I was surprised in my heart, just now I clearly saw a colorful light flashing, "Is this Mount Emei really famous?" ”
"Bell", the melodious bell came from the mountain, and it made ripples in my heart.
There is a Wannian Temple in Mount Emei, and the early Taoist ruins have long been annihilated in history.
Suddenly remembering something in my heart, I walked quickly towards the rainbow, and Wang Ling shouted behind me and chased after me.
The rainbow looked right in front of me from afar, but it seemed like an ethereal existence, appearing in the clouds, and some people said that it was the path that the gods had walked.
The mountains are steep, the road twists and turns, and the people are gradually becoming sparse, and the road ahead is becoming more and more difficult to walk, but this is difficult for me, after all, I grew up in the countryside, and climbing mountains is commonplace, but Wang Ling, a girl in the city, is now almost unbearable.
Wang Ling shouted from behind, I originally wanted to go alone, but I was afraid that if I left her alone in this remote place, it would be difficult to do what happened.
I pulled her and walked towards the depths of Mount Emei, the ancient trees were vigorously coiled, and we entered the primitive area in the depths of Mount Emei, which was like a paradise and was not polluted by the fireworks of the world.
"Ahh It's so beautiful here, if only I could stay here," Wang Ling cheered.
A group of mountain monkeys bared their teeth at us, Wang Ling made a grimace, and then attracted the siege of the group of monkeys, and the fruit was smashed all over the sky.
I looked up at the sky, and the rainbow was not dissipating, so I had to hurry, otherwise I don't know when it would dissipate.
The primeval forest stands with ancient trees, blocking the sky, only a little sunlight is sprinkled, and the surroundings are very quiet, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of birds and the cries of animals.
The rainbow is in a canyon, and when we get here, the rainbow has disappeared, not only a little regretful, looking around, surprised to find that the valley is full of smoke, faintly heard the sound of chickens, "Is there still someone living here?" ”
As we were thinking, a woodcutter came down from the mountains, carrying a bundle of dry firewood, and saw us, "Which one are you looking for?" ”
"Fellow, we are tourists, we got lost here, is there a village here?"
59. Forbidden Things
"That's it, let's go, go to the village to sit down, our village is very remote, few people come, we rarely go out, last time there were a few people from outside, in our village to see two ha and left, saying that our village is strange, but in the end I didn't see any results, so I left."
The woodcutter was very communicative, we followed him, he talked endlessly, and soon we arrived at the entrance of the village, which was a very ordinary village, similar to our previous village, with about a dozen families, and the houses were surrounded by earthen houses, but there were still a few wooden buildings in them.
The whole village was in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, several big red roosters chased each other and ran out, and a few children were playing in the mud at the entrance of the village.
I smiled softly, this is the same as when I was a child, a happy and carefree childhood.
The woodcutter led us to his house, and I took a quick look at the interior decoration and was convinced that the village was of Han nationality. The woodcutter was very enthusiastic and asked his wife to hurry up and stir-fry the food, so as to treat us well.
In a short time the whole village knew that there were people from outside, and they all came to see the strangeness, about forty or fifty men and women, and as for the clothing, it was similar to that in other villages.
The honest smile on his face can't help but warm people's hearts.
A few children gathered around, "Big brother, big sister, I heard that the outside world is very lively, and there are a lot of delicious and beautiful things."
"Hehe", I shook my head, "the outside world looks wonderful, but there is no hurry up and ease here, outside time, people have lost themselves, there is no basic trust, and people's morality has been lost."
"In this case, then we still don't go out, just live happily here."
"Big brother, I think you look like a person," a small child said suddenly.
"Like a person?" I'm a little baffled.
"Well, it's really like, I don't believe you can go with me".
At this time, those villagers also pointed and discussed, "It really seems to be ......."
"It's just carved out of a mold."
Following the child, I arrived in front of a wooden building at the head of the village, and heard the child say that this is the ancestral hall of their village.
Walking into the ancestral hall, the child pointed to the statue directly above and said, "Oh, it's him."
When I fixed my eyes, my head thumped, and I was completely stunned, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses, and the statue in front of me was exactly the same as mine.
"This ...... Could it be the general of Shu Yuan back then? ”
"It's true, it's really the same, it's amazing", Wang Ling also exclaimed on the side.
I walked over, this statue doesn't know how many years it has existed, carved like a life, General Shu Yuan stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes staring ahead, revealing the momentum of self-esteem.
I saw a stone tablet carved at the foot of the statue, but the words on it were too old for me to understand.
"Big brother, I heard from my grandfather that this person is a general, very brave, and he is very good at fighting."
I smiled lightly and touched the child's head, "Let's go, let's go back!" ”
When I arrived in the village, I saw a white-haired old man coming over, looking me up and down for a while, "Like, really like, it seems that all this is providence, when General Shu Yuan died unjustly, he left a message, saying that he would definitely come back to take revenge in the future, but I didn't expect it to come back."
After saying that, the old man took me into the house, and talked to me carefully, and the woodcutter who brought us in also prepared wine and food at his house.
The old man told me a lot about the history of ancient Shu and a lot about the history of ancient Shu.
It can be roughly inferred from this that Shu was an extremely powerful country back then, and the Shu tribe was also a tribe with its own high degree of civilization, which could have continued to be strong, but then for some reason, it was wiped out in a short period of time, and the entire Shu people were almost wiped out.
For these, I also guessed probably, and at the same time I also learned from the old man's mouth that this village is the descendants of the Shu people, to be precise, the descendants of the Shu Yuan generals, which have been preserved in the changes of history, but the customs and habits of the original Shu people have basically been forgotten, and now they have been completely sinicized, and the understanding of the ancestors is only passed down orally from generation to generation.
I nodded, and asked, "Uncle, do you know the legend of this Emei Mountain Shu Immortal?" ”
Hearing me ask, the old man was silent for a while before he replied: "No one can tell this matter, Mount Emei was a Taoist holy land in ancient times, full of mystery, but I do know that there are many people living in this Mount Emei, they are all able to be counted and pushed, you might as well go and touch, maybe I can give you some pointers."
I nodded, and I was going to leave after dinner, but the people in the village wanted me to stay for two days, saying that it was getting dark now and the road was dangerous.
It's hard for me to excuse myself, but Wang Ling is very excited, saying that it will definitely be romantic if she spends the night in such a place once.
I also rarely let go of the things in my heart, relax my body and rest well, such a paradise, the air is so fresh.
I walked to the entrance of the village, and happened to see a banyan tree, and the children of the village were playing alone (that is, pulling one back and two people touching each other)
Next to them, there sat two villagers, who seemed to be playing chess, and their concentration was not affected by the noise of the children next to them.
I was also interested, so I walked over and saw that they were playing chess, but I looked at it for a while, but I didn't understand it, they were just walking around, as if they were not playing chess at all, but a game.
I finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Two big brothers, what are you doing here?" Why is it still down after being eaten? ”
The two of them looked up at me together, "Young man, you are still too young to know how to be hot." We're in the middle of now."
"Heavenly Bureau?" I was a little surprised, "Are you deducing the Heaven and Earth Chess Game?" ”
One of them nodded, "Hehe, it's not counting, how can we have the ability to deduce the chess game of heaven and earth, it's a taboo thing about the destiny of heaven, and if you don't get it right, you will suffer a big disaster."
"What about you?"
"We? Hehe, it's just to calculate some uncertain things, try to snoop as much as possible", speaking of this, the man stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "Don't say it, otherwise there will be trouble."
The two began to bury their heads in chess again, only occasionally talking to themselves.
"The Tao is born in two ways, yin and yang give birth to Taiji, Taiji transforms all things, there is life and death, life and death, yin and yang are mutually restrained, you should not take this step, otherwise you will fall into the door of death."
"No, since it is yin and yang, then I will reverse yin and yang, so that life becomes death, and death becomes life, so that I can also steal a heavenly opportunity."
"This ...... It's a good move."
"The I Ching has forty-two hexagrams, and the hexagrams are unpredictable, but now they only account for fourteen hexagrams, and they are no longer good
'”.
"Well, that's all for today, come back another day."
60 I Ching Bagua
The two of them got up, and I woke up in shock, as if I had seen a mysterious scene just now, and I seemed to understand something, and I seemed to be disappointed in something, in short, I couldn't say clearly.
I hurriedly caught up with them, "Two seniors, can you give me some advice?" ”
"Hehe, we are just wilderness mountain men, where can we be called any predecessors, we only know the surface of this yin and yang technique, if you want to learn, you might as well send you a sentence, 'The Tao is in your heart, as long as you are dedicated to the Tao, you can naturally understand the Tao'."
After saying that, the two of them left, and I said thoughtfully, "What is the Tao?" ”
"Hey, what are you doing standing here in a daze?" Wang Ling didn't know when she came over, followed by a group of children, all around her and calling her sister.
"It's nothing, you play with the kids, I'll go around."
After saying that, he walked alone to the outside of the village, where the colorful light he had seen before was here, and he walked around to see if he could find anything.
Over a mountain, the sun is already setting at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the mountain, which has a different kind of beauty.
A mountain peak in the distance, under the light of the setting sun, is gorgeous, and there is a stone standing on it, as if a person is standing there, surrounded by clouds and mist, leading people to reverie.
I looked around, and finally came to a waterfall, 3,000 feet into the water, the sound of hula, and saw a man fishing under the waterfall, using a bamboo pole.
I walked over and saw that his fishing rod had no buoy, just a line in the water, and when I looked at this man, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
I felt strange in my heart, but I didn't bother rashly, but stood by and observed, and I didn't see him move for a while, and I wondered if he was dead?
Just as he was considering whether to test it, who knew that at this time, this man stood up at once, and then lifted the fishing rod, and saw a crucian carp the size of a palm being caught.
I was secretly surprised in my heart, this panicked mountain village is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!
The man put the fish in the cage and then left it empty without bait.
After putting the fishing rod away, the man began to close his eyes again, and I couldn't help it, so I asked, "Uncle, what kind of fish are you catching here?" ”
He opened his eyes and glanced at me, "Young man, look at your face, you must have come from outside, right?" ”
"Hmm", I replied with a nod.
"There are very few young people like you nowadays!"
"How?"
"Your patience is good, but unfortunately your heart can't calm down."
"When you came just now, I felt that your pace was steady, but your breath was too heavy, and then you looked at your melancholy face, young man, I advise you to be more relaxed, what is there in the vastness of the world?"
I nodded silently, and then he caught another fish, "Hehe, I'm lucky today, it looks like I can have a good meal tonight."
"Uncle, you can catch it without bait, and there is no buoy, how do you know that the fish is hooked?"
Uncle put down the rod again and smiled mysteriously at me, "This is called luck."
"Luck?"
"Yes, luck, luck, everything goes well, some people are very poor, but if you are lucky that day, you may become rich from a poor person."
I nodded thoughtfully, "What exactly is luck?" ”
"Luck is always an ethereal thing, believe it exists, don't believe it doesn't exist, I Ching says, a person has a life, the so-called bone fortune telling, people have a few lives, the size of the bones, are related to luck. It's like some people are destined to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and some people are destined to be poor for a lifetime no matter how many opportunities they have, and they can only be lonely for a lifetime."
"Well," I seem to understand something, this luck should also be an explanation of fate, and it has something to do with yin and yang gossip.
"According to what you say, your luck is good today, and the luck of these fish is very bad, do these fish also have a life?"
"Of course, all living beings have spirits, just like the Buddha said, all living beings are equal, whether it is a grass or a tree or a grain of dust in this world, it has its own life. It's like in this water story, there are five hundred and thirty-six fish, and they all have different lives," and as he was talking, he caught another one, and I saw that the fish had been hooked by the tail.
"Well, you see, this fish was so unlucky that it bumped into itself."
"Isn't it okay to change your life?"
"Change your life? Whose life is changed, or is it someone else's? ”
"Anyone's life will be changed".
"Young man, you can say a lot of things, remember not to talk nonsense in the future, you can eat but your life can't be changed casually, even if you change it, you have to pay a price, just like the Yin and Yang mage wants to change history, the consequences he has to bear are unimaginable, not only he himself but also his family can't escape, I think your ancestors should leave you a warning, right?"
"Uncle you?" I looked at him in amazement.
"Hehe, don't worry, I don't know you, and I don't know where you came from, but I see that you are born with Dao bones, have dragon bones to protect yourself, you should be the descendants of a certain Yin and Yang Feng Shui master family, young people can only obey the destiny of heaven for some things, we have nothing to do, otherwise God will punish us", after speaking, the man began to pack up his things, "Little brother, hurry back, it's not too early."
"What a weirdo," I said to myself.
Back in the village, it was almost evening, the villagers were cooking dinner, and the smell of vegetables wafted through the smoke.
The old man pulled me to drink again, and the dinner was extremely rich, all of which were things that could only be eaten in the mountains, pure and natural, and simply delicious in the world.
The old man is very talkative, and he has talked a lot with me, from ancient times to the present.
"Come, try our own chicken, it's much more delicious than the one outside", the old man gave me a large piece and said: "Emperor Qin and Han Wu laid the foundation of the Chinese nation and opened up the earliest territory of this country. Hey, if it weren't for the fact that General Shu Yuan was killed by traitors, history must not be like this, you must know that Shu was the most powerful country back then, and General Shu Yuan waved his army, which was invincible! ”
The old man began to get drunk, but I was very sober, got off the table and walked out the door, walking under the stars at night in the mountains, it was a pleasure.
Wang Ling also followed, "Hehe, I see how mysterious you are, do you have any ulterior secrets?" ”
"Why are you running out there yet?"
"It's still early to go to bed, I also want to go out for a walk, and get to know you by the way."
Wang Ling also drank some wine today, her cheeks flushed slightly, giving people a pitiful look, and her long hair fluttered in the night wind.
At that moment, I was given an illusion and shook my head, "It seems that I am drunk, how can I be like her?" ”
"Why are you shaking your head?"
"It's nothing, you go back to sleep, it's cold at night in the mountains, be careful of catching a cold."
"No, I just want to talk to you and get to know you."
"What do I have to know?"
"I think you're a person with a story, and I want to know what kind of story this story is."
"Hehe, a story is a story, and some things are just buried in the bottom of my heart."
I walked forward and stood under the night sky, "Sing a parting song, read it under the turbid wine for several generations, and suddenly look back at the dusk, where is the beauty?" Looking at the riverside alone".
"Wow, you can still write poetry, I can't tell that you are still a genius. What's the matter, great talent, has he been abandoned by anyone? ”
I didn't answer, just closed my eyes and quietly felt the peace.
After a long time, I said, "Have you ever loved you seriously?" ”
"This ...... I don't know, but I think the love in society is too false now, as the saying goes, I'd rather believe that the sow will go up to the tree than believe that there is true love."
"Huh, huh? But I believe in true love."
"Is there one?"
"Yes".
"Hee-hee, then you mean, you have met true love, then you should be very happy, right?"
"Well, I met it, but I didn't cherish it, and now it's gone, do you think I should go back and find it?"
"Hee-hee, of course I have to find it back, true love, it's rare to meet once in a lifetime."
"However, I don't know how to get it back, she's far away from me."
"Far away, how far away?"
"I don't know, it's too far away for me anyway, but it seems to be next to me."
"No, there is still something far in this world that can't be found? Even in the United States in Africa, you can find it quickly by plane, right? ”
"I can't go to that place by plane."
"The plane can't go, is it in a very primitive place? So you just take the train and walk there? ”
"No, either."
"So what"?
"I don't know, maybe one day I'll just turn into a ghost and go to her."
"You're scaring me, aren't you?" Wang Ling hurriedly took a few steps back, "I see that you are sick in the brain, is your girlfriend dead, you still want to go to her, there are no ghosts in this world at all, why do you have to get along with yourself, she is dead and dead, you have to continue to live, she is your true love, but it does not mean that there are no other good girls in this world except him", I saw Wang Ling's eyes flashing with tears.
"Perhaps", I turned and walked back.
The starlight was sprinkled, and the insects were chirping happily in the grass, so I asked Wang Ling to go back first, and walk to the mountain alone, because I saw a faint figure walking on the peak, and there were several, and by the moonlight, it seemed that they were discussing something.
Climbing the mountain, to the peak, I saw three people sitting on a big rock, gesturing to each other, I walked over, and heard one of them say: "The Tao is all things, the Tao is the heaven is the number of destiny".
"I don't agree, in my opinion, the Tao is yin and yang, the Tao is the law, and it is an invisible force."
"Okay, since we each have our own opinions, why don't we deduce the Dao Bureau and spy on the heavens, so as to prove what kind of existence the Tao is."
"This.... I'm afraid it's a little hard."
"It's okay, we'll try our best."
61. Seeking
"This.... I'm afraid it's a little hard."
"It's okay, we'll try our best."
Then the three of them faced the starry sky and began to calculate, pointing to the starry sky, "Zimulberry, Beidou, Firefly".
"In the Book of Changes, chaos is the beginning of heaven and earth, and then turned into yin and yang, among which there are forty-two hexagrams, divination of celestial phenomena, let's start from the forty-two hexagrams."
I walked over and stood silently to observe, and the three of them didn't seem to notice my arrival, and completely sank into a state of obsession.
At first, what was carved on the stone, it was all symbols that I couldn't understand, and by the end it was already a blur, and I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a moment, or a day, or a month, before the three of them stopped moving, and my eyes began to be clear again.
On the stone, they carved strange symbols, which looked like words and starry sky patterns.
"Still no result, it seems that this is not something that the three of us can deduce."
"Well, it's probably just a yin-yang mage, do you think there will be a yin-yang mage in this world now?"
"This is very difficult, it is said that the Yin and Yang mage is too rebellious and has been sealed by the Dao, just like us, we all have to be careful, maybe one day we will be punished by God."
"Well, I guess so, okay, that's all for today, let's all go home."
The three of them went down the hill as if they had not seen me at all, and I was a little dazed, and it took me a while to come to my senses, and I sat down on the stone and began to study the symbols they had left behind.
In it, I seemed to see the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and rivers, and even the changes of nature, and the more I looked, the more shocked I became, which was simply unbelievable, but unfortunately I was too shallow to see a rough idea.
Half-ringing, he shook his head, "Forget it, these things can't be forced, take your time."
When I went down the mountain, I didn't expect Wang Ling to be waiting for me, "Why did you go up the mountain?" ”
"Just go around". With that, I turned around and went into the house, and the people of the village had arranged two rooms for us, and it would not be closed at night.
"Hey",
"What?"
"Do you hate me so much? You don't even want to talk to me."
"Go to bed, it's not early, I have to go back tomorrow."
The night passed quickly, and I had a rare good night's sleep, and when I got up in the morning, I said goodbye to the people in the village, and prepared to go back to Emei Mountain for two more days, so I went home, and it is estimated that Xiang Fei and they have already begun to set off to find Zhuge Tomb.
Go back according to the original way, there are a lot of tourists in Mount Emei today, the weather is fine, I went back to the hotel and took a shower and changed my clothes, and then began to climb again, this time I want to go to the Wannian Temple to see, it is said that this temple is very spiritual.
Climbing the mountain, I went straight to the Wannian Temple, in order to save time I took a shortcut, this path is rarely visited by tourists, and the occasional ones are also adventures.
But recently there is also development here, saying that it is going to build a mountain resort, and I passed by here and happened to see the construction company surveying the terrain, I was not interested in this, and was about to walk away.
He said to a young man next to me, "This place is the intersection of yin and yang, and there are hidden dragons sleeping here.
As soon as I heard the interest, I walked over and asked, "Brother Dao, can you give me some advice?"
The man looked at me, "I'm just talking casually, there's nothing to point out about."
"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a casual chat."
The man nodded, "Since that's the case, let's talk to Brother Dao, I think Brother Dao you should go to Wannian Temple, it's really good to stop by, let's talk while walking."
Walking on the trail, I asked, "Under Liu Zhihua, I don't know if my brother can tell me?" ”
"Just call me Li Tianshu."
"Brother Li admits that I saw you at a glance just now, I want to ask, how is the dragon vein in this feng shui determined?"
"According to the Book of Changes, the dragon is the spirit of the earth, that is, the number of qi of the earth, and the direction of the dragon vein is related to the prosperity of all things, so all dynasties have to find the dragon vein as the ancestral root, but the world is ever-changing, and the dragon vein will also have a day when it will be exhausted, and the dynasty will also go into decline."
"So the ancients have been exploring the art of feng shui, hoping to be able to seize the creation of heaven and earth through the art of feng shui, from Yuan Tiangang of the Sui and Tang dynasties to Liu Bowen of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they are all strange people in feng shui, they can be called a generation of masters, they can find the dragon positioning, and that kind of Tao is beyond our reach!"
I nodded yes and asked, "Feng Shui is related to Yin and Yang, does that mean that Feng Shui is the evolution of Yin and Yang?" ”
"That's nature, in fact, not only feng shui, but all things related to the Tao are evolved from yin and yang, including the Book of Changes, when Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Sutra, in fact, it is also related to yin and yang, but what has been handed down is mortal, and the yin and yang chapters in it have long been annihilated in history."
As he spoke, Li Tianshu squatted down, picked up the two stones on the ground, and continued: "Take these two stones as an example, they represent yin and yang respectively, there is a congenital gossip in the Book of Changes, if this gossip can be divined, then you will really understand yin and yang." ”
"There are hexagrams, yin hexagrams, yang hexagrams, if it is a yin and a yang, then it is a yin and yang hexagram, the hexagram is all-encompassing, hiding the number of heavenly chances, and the forty-two heavenly machines are derived from this."
After speaking, he played a hexagram, which was a yang hexagram, "Today, the Vermilion Bird is facing the phoenix, Xuanwu is opening the way, and there is a happy event coming to Mount Emei."
"What do you say about happy events?"
"Hehe, I'll know when the time comes, you and I have a lot of fate, and finally I'll send you a sentence, don't force everything to act according to the mandate of heaven, people and ghosts have different paths, and yin and yang don't get along."
Nodding, of course I knew what he was saying, and immediately asked, "Is there no remedy?" ”
"It's difficult, you still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell!"
"Okay, I won't say more, if I see you another day, I'm going home."
"May I ask where Brother Li's family lives, I will definitely visit me if I have the opportunity."
waved his hand, "Wilderness mountain man, how can there be any home, there will be a period later, and I will leave!" Li Tianshu hugged his fists at me and said goodbye and turned away.
Looking at Li Tianshu who disappeared at the end of the mountain forest, I secretly exclaimed, "What a strange person."
Continue to walk towards Wannian Temple, just now Li Tianshu said that there will be a happy event in Emei today, I don't know what it will be.
Wannian Temple is already in sight, hidden in the pine and cypress, the incense here is very prosperous, tourists come in an endless stream to burn incense, it is said that the monk is very rich now, it seems that it should be true.
As soon as I walked up, I heard someone shouting, "Look, everyone, there is a Buddha's light."
Suddenly, the crowd exploded, and they all became excited, shouting that the Bodhisattva had appeared, and for a time many believers began to worship.
I turned my head to look, and sure enough, in the mountain peak opposite the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, in a cloud of colorful light, there was a faint shadow of a Buddha circling and meditating, such a miracle is that I have to sigh, the natural world is really mysterious.
Although I don't know much about the Buddha, I know that the Buddha is about compassion and the equality of all beings, which is the opposite of the Tao, but the difference is that the Buddha knows how to adapt to the changes of each era.
The monks of Wannian Temple also ran out, and when they saw this scene, they were all very excited, and for a while the sound of Amitabha Buddha came one after another, and after a while, even the presiding abbot of the temple came out.
"Amitabha, if the old man can see the manifestation of the true Buddha in his lifetime, it can be regarded as a complete merit", an old monk who looked like he should be an elder, was so excited that he burst into tears, looking at his oily face, people had to be a little suspicious of what he said.
The light of the Buddha only appeared for a while before dissipating, and the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas returned to its previous calm, with tourists coming and going to take pictures.
I walked in, looked at the Buddha statue inside, and sighed in my heart, the Buddha said that everything depends on fate, and people should put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, and see through this earthly world.
In fact, even the Buddha himself is not transcendent and has not seen through this earthly world, so how can he let the world see through the earthly world?
Unconsciously, I walked into the Wannian Temple, and walked to the most lively central Buddha hall, where the Buddha is enshrined, and the whole Buddha hall is splendid, from this point it can be seen that the Buddha has not seen through the world at all, and I can't help but snort coldly at the Buddha in my heart, "It's just a tool used by a courtier to comfort the people."
Tourists in the surrounding area are constantly offering incense to the Buddha and praying that their wishes can be fulfilled.
I was the only one standing there, looking a little out of place.
"Big brother, why don't you worship the Buddha?" A little boy asked, standing in front of me, still holding a few incense candles in his hand.
smiled slightly, "Big brother doesn't believe in Buddhism, and he doesn't worship Buddha."
"Why? Listening to my grandfather, they said that the Buddha can bless people's health and make people's hearts come true."
"Hehe, that's a lie, there is no Buddha in the world at all."
"Really?"
"Really".
"Hey, what are you talking to my grandson? Neurotic", an old man came out of the side, glared at me twice, and then dragged his grandson away.
I smiled helplessly, and was about to leave, but I didn't know that a voice sounded behind me, "Amitabha, this donor, can you talk to the old man?" ”
I turned my head and saw an old monk in a robe standing there, looking at me with a 'compassionate' face, as if he wanted to get through the red dust.
"I'm not interested in the Buddha," he said, and then prepared to leave.
"Amitabha, donor, you misunderstood, I don't want you to believe in Buddhism, I just want to discuss the Tao with you."
"On the way?"
"Yes, when it comes to the Tao, in fact, the Buddha is also a kind of Tao, but few people can understand it."
Hearing him say this, my eyes lit up and I nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, donor, please."
Following the old monk, I came to a small forest behind the Wannian Temple, there was a stone bench and a stone table, I sat down with the old monk, and the little monk poured tea next to it.
Taking a sip, it is Emei's authentic jasmine tea, which is fragrant.
The old monk smiled and asked, "The donor should be a member of the Taoist sect, right?" ”
I nodded.
"Hehe, Lao Gao knows that Taoist people have looked down on Buddha since ancient times, thinking that my Buddha is just a trick to deceive the people, and there are often disputes and even fights in the past dynasties, but Lao Qu doesn't think so."
"And what does the master think?"
"Lao Ke believes that all things in the world coexist, a hundred schools of thought are singing together, and a hundred schools of thought are blooming together, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are hundreds of schools, although my Buddha is an outside culture, but after years of historical integration, it has now completely become a unique culture of China, completely separated from the West. Therefore, the old man believes that the Buddha is also a manifestation of the Tao, but it is different from what the Tao is pursuing.
62. The Buddha and the Tao
"So, donor, I think that in fact, the Buddha and the Tao can coexist."
I nodded and smiled, "What you said does make sense, but it still can't eliminate the controversy between Buddhism and Taoism. ”
"The old man naturally understands, but the old man still hopes that the donor can listen to the old man, I wonder if the donor is willing?"
"You say".
"If the old man sees it well, the donor should be a real descendant of the Tao, and there is hope to become a yin and yang mage in the future, if there is really a day, the old man hopes that the donor will also take the responsibility of the world and the overall situation of the people as the priority! You must not easily go against yin and yang, because that will harm you and sentient beings."
"Well, I'll be measured in this one. Does the Master have anything else to say? ”
"That's all the old man has to say, I hope the donor can understand."
I stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave, but I'll come back if I have the chance."
Back at the hotel, about to go back, Wang Ling blocked my door, "Hey, can you tell me your phone?" ”
"You don't like me, do you?"
"I....... I'm just in love with you, what's wrong? Don't let it."
"Then you like the wrong person", I said lightly, "You don't really know me, and you don't know what I do, just think I'm a hurried passerby in life, forget about me."
After saying that, I picked up my luggage and went downstairs, or Wang Ling behind me was scolding the bastard and crying, but it was none of my business.
When I got home in the afternoon, I heard that a major event had happened, the archaeological team from the city rushed into the corpse cave, and the result was heavy losses, several died inside, and two were frightened crazy.
Now that the corpse cave has been sealed off, and it has become a forbidden area, I found the old blind man that night, told him all about what I encountered in Mount Emei, and wanted to ask him for his opinion.
"Well, the masters are hidden in the world, but each has its own hidden methods, some like the wilderness mountain village, and some like the noisy red dust."
"Like you?"
