Chapter 55 Purple Scripture Mountain Discusses the Dao

At dawn the next day, Zhang Zheng took everyone to Liangzhou to play around.

The first thing to go to is, of course, the Liuhou Temple. The Naliuhou Temple is located at the foot of the Zijing Mountain on the southern slope of the Central South Mountain Range. Naliu Hou's real name is Zhang Fang, but after the royal family of Ji State, he was later annexed by the Winning State because of Ji State. Zhang Fang plotted to restore the Kingdom of Ji, befriended assassins, and failed to snipe the Emperor of the Winning Kingdom in Yuanyang, so he fled in all directions. When he fled to Ningbei, he met the old man of Huangshi and obtained the "Art of War". Win the end of the world in the melee, gather the crowd to return to the Han Emperor, and have many miraculous achievements in the world, after the establishment of the Tianhan Dynasty, he was divided into Liucheng, is to stay in the marquis. Zhang Fang was known as the "Three Heroes of Heaven and Han", and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty once called him "a decisive victory thousands of miles away in the midst of strategizing". Soon after the Han Emperor ascended the throne, he killed many meritorious ministers, Zhang Fang retreated bravely, came to the Purple Scripture Mountain to practice incognito, and then it was rumored that this Zhang Fang became an immortal, drifted away, and the descendants called this place "Bigu". In later generations, there are admirers of Zhang Fang, and the temple is set up here to worship, and after a long time, it has become a scenic spot in this Liangzhou.

Liuhou temple by the mountain by the water, simple and elegant, all the year round the clouds and mist circle chair shape, a water in front of the temple and a river behind the temple into a state of embrace, the temple is quiet and solemn all around, the pine and purple cypress in a radius of 100 miles stand tall and green, there is the image of protecting the law and guarding the road. The two waters flow lightly and murmur, like a piano song; The bird language is crisp, and the hollow valley transmits sound; Coupled with the exquisiteness of the temple, the buildings appear one after another, often make the tourists who are dusty, such as going to the clouds and mist, the realm of impermanence, suddenly born fluttering and immortal, and the feeling of being outside the world.

Enter the mountain gate, then step on a wooden bridge, called "into the bridge", take Zhang Fang in the bridge for the old man in Huangshi to pick up shoes and wear shoes. There are railings and chairs on the bridge, and there is a murmuring of water under the bridge. Crossing the wooden bridge, it is the tall security concept, after the entrance, there are bells, drum towers on the left and right, there are several "Lingxiao Palace" in the center of the courtyard, but see the octagonal cornices, glazed tile decoration roof, painted arch bucket eaves, quite spectacular. The side of the hall is divided into "Sanqing Palace", "Sanguan Palace", "Sanfa Palace" and other supporting halls. From the north side of the temple, you will pass through the courtyard and enter the courtyard where the main hall is located. The main hall is majestic**, the county "Ming Zhe Feng Gao", "the emperor's teacher", the palace door has a couplet: "A lifetime of brilliant meritorious service from the beginning of the book; In the past dynasties, the Chongfeng smoke ritual was opened by the valley. There is also a statue of Zhang Fang in the hall, which is lifelike and vivid.

There is a worship hall in front of the main hall, and the left and right wings stand symmetrically. The courtyard is quiet and quaint. The lintel of the hall is full of praise plaques, such as "the rapid stream retreats bravely", "the machine is appropriate", "the wisdom and courage are deep".

From time to time, people from the vicinity came to offer incense, and Yang Jun was quite surprised to see Zhang Zheng and others bowing their heads, and then seemed to think of something. Then he asked: "Liuhou's surname is Zhang, and Brother Zhang is also surnamed Zhang, I wonder if Brother Zhang is of the same clan as this Liuhou?" ”

"I'm ashamed, my vein is from outside, I have changed the door post, and it can be regarded as a descendant, as for the main house of the descendants, it is another family."

"I see, there are so many couplets here, I have the fate to come here today, why not leave a couplet with this deed of the marquis as a commemoration?"

"It's so good, if that's the case, let's ask Brother Yang to come out!"

"My Shanglian is: Haojie is here today, see that the green mountains are not old, the purple cypress is eternal, and I want to think of the famous ministers with lofty ideals, and there is a place to hang for thousands of years."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhengyi smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Yang, please see, my next link is: the immortals are rare in ancient times, set up Huangshi to reunite, meet again in Chisong, get this cave and blessed land, and I am willing to travel far away for a lifetime." ”

"Natural absolutely, wonderful, wonderful, how fortunate the old man is to meet two talented people today! Young man, how about a cup of tea? ”

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw an old man with a cane in one hand inviting everyone in a pavilion called the Stone Worship Pavilion next to him. However, this is not important, the important thing is that the divine consciousness of Yang Jun and the others did not find this old man, as if this old man appeared out of thin air, and then used his divine sense to probe, but there was nothing, but when he looked at it with his eyes, the old man was in front of him.

Knowing that this old man was not an ordinary person, when he entered the Worship Stone Pavilion, Yang Jun immediately saluted: "I have seen the seniors, and the juniors are polite here." The rest of the people also saluted.

"Well, yes, yes, they're all a few good seedlings, work hard, and the future is promising." Looking around at everyone, the old man said such a sentence, maybe Zhang Zheng didn't know what this old man meant, but Yang Jun and the others were very sure that this old man's cultivation was absolutely unfathomable.

"I don't know what my husband is called?" Zhang Zheng asked.

"Old man Tao Ran, young people are here to play, right?"

"We are all new to Liangzhou, and I heard that this Liuhou Temple is the first scenic spot in Liangzhou, so I came to enjoy it."

"Well, that's it, we met today, and it can be regarded as fate, when I saw your pair before, your writing was extraordinary, old man, I have a few questions I want to test you, I don't know if you are willing to answer?"

"Uncle, please speak, but I'm afraid that I will only be shallow in my studies, and it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the elderly."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, since I can tell you, I think you can answer, speak boldly, and it's okay if you make a mistake. Listen, this first question: What is me? Second question: What is the Tao? Third question: What is my Word? If you can't answer now, it doesn't matter, you can think about it first, and then tell me when you've thought about it. ”

As soon as these questions of the old man were thrown out, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, nothing else, these questions seemed simple, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that this seemingly simple question was really difficult to say.

It can be said that these questions are not only thought by mortals, but also by immortal cultivators, but there is no perfect answer, because this seemingly simple question contains too much content.

Just when everyone was thinking, Zhang Zheng spoke: "Old man, the younger generation should talk about what you think, if there is something wrong, don't blame it." The first question, your old question is, what is me, in fact, I want to ask, who am I, where am I going, the younger generation is not talented, but I have also thought about this question, I think the vast red dust, all living beings, who can answer this question exactly? Everything in heaven and earth is changing all the time, if you really want to ask what I am, it is to drill the horns of the bull, if you say what is me, it can only be the definition under specific conditions, for example, at this moment my name is Zhang Zheng, Zhang Zheng is me. Wherever I go, I naturally want to go where I think I should go. I don't know about others, but I know that since I was sensible, I knew that I had to be an upright gentleman and a man who stood up to the sky.

The second question, what is the Tao, the younger generation thinks that the Tao is the process. Tao is not only a systematic and holistic summary of all things, but also a highly abstract and generalized process of the development of all things. 道不是一种静态的形而上实体,而是一个过程。 The processuality of the Tao is manifested as the process by which the Tao gives birth to all things, and the processuality of the Tao is made up of various relationships that can only be explained by chaos theory, and therefore, the Tao is also a relation.

The third question: What is my Tao, to sum up, the younger generation believes that my Tao is the process of going to the place where I am going, and it can also be said to be the process of completing myself. I don't know if the juniors say this, and the seniors can be satisfied? ”

When the old man heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said: "Yes, yes, quite a little bit of the bottom, it seems that you have thought about these questions, so what about you, do you have the answer?" ”

"The first question, what is me, I think I am Luo Xueer, Luo Xueer is me, as long as I know who I am and what I am doing.

The second question is what is the Tao, the Tao is the truth, which is used to explain everything in this world, and it is precisely because of this that the Tao is not something that we can explain clearly. It is the so-called Tao that there are all things, and all things have Tao.

The third question is what is my way, and my way is the reason, method, and reason for my Luo Xueer's work.

The above is the answer of the juniors. Luo Xueer said.

"Yes, people with pure hearts have such words, little girl, don't lose your pure and dustless heart, this is your great blessing!" Nodding, the old man said earnestly.

"The younger generation thinks ........"

"The juniors think..."

Everyone said their answers to the three questions raised by the old man, only Yang Jun had been sitting in the corner, not saying anything, and seemed to have been thinking.
