Chapter 6 Choosing a name is a top priority
"My surname is Meng, and the word Yu is Yu. Taoism ranks second, and the senior brother can call me Senior Sister Meng, Second Senior Sister, and Little Er. ”
The three of them sat on the second floor and drank tea around the flat case. Dan sat on the side of the platform, and the two little ones sat opposite. The girl was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a slightly large ball head tied to her head, and a bamboo stick inserted in it, staring at him seriously. He looked at the girl, and somehow, he always felt that the girl was a little lacking in heart. The boy was dressed in a uniform costume, with a simple hair tied on his head and a hairpin that did not know its lustre. Although his face is familiar, he also reveals an aura that no one should enter.
The young man bowed, and then said: "My surname is Yang, my name is Ziju, and the Yang family is here." Taoism ranks third, and the senior brother can call me Senior Brother Yang and the Third Senior Brother. ”
Dan was a little confused, and always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he said tentatively: "Little three?"
There was something wonderful on the boy's face.
Dan smiled apologetically. He turned to the girl and asked, "Who were those people just now?"
Earlier, when he was looking at the sky, a crowd of people downstairs came to him. And when the men had said something, the crowd dispersed, leaving them in.
"A few of them are inner door elders who have just come out of the gate, and most of the rest are outer door deacons and young disciples under the door. ”
Dan thought back to those young people who were shining with light, and it was a little incredible.
Meng Yu added: "The imperial court suppressed the Daomen, but it was not to suppress the inheritance of the Daomen, but only to eliminate the power and influence of Taoism in the world. In addition to accepting me and Xiaosan, Shizun often went to the bottom of the mountain to guide the outer disciples, and he was quite sincere. He also praised the outer door for having a way, the teacher is a famous talent, and he is very attentive to the outer door. ”
The young man thought to himself, why didn't he say this, who didn't know that the outer gate was all brought out by Xi, and he preached the Fa several times and taught the Tao several times throughout the day, and this boasting level was really shameless.
Dan was also a little embarrassed, and took a sip of tea.
Then he asked, "What's the deal with the repression?"
Meng Yu replied: "It is mainly aimed at the foreign Taoist temples of our religion. The imperial court ordered that within a place, one should be saved in a hundred miles, and the rest should be sealed on the spot and not stationed. In addition, the imperial court did not control public opinion, and there were people behind it to promote it, and the matter of the little aunt was rumored to be boiling, and the influence of our religion was not as good as before. ”
Dan had never heard of these things, and he held his head, thinking that it was better than telling a story. He was listening vigorously when the girl suddenly stopped, and he glanced at her. She blinked her eyes, saying that she only knew so much, and she hadn't paid attention to her cultivation over the years, and she still listened to these news when she was bored. So she looked at the boy again.
The boy was sitting on the sidelines, pinching the hairpin and poking the white ball at the bottom of the porcelain bowl boringly. Seeing that the focus turned to himself, he had no choice but to straighten up.
Yang Ziju said: "After the little aunt, the world was in chaos. Although the three religions have different morals, the other two religions also play their own role. Buddhism opened the doors of the temple to accommodate the scattered people, and cooked food and distributed it to the people. Confucianism is not to mention, 'the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies', this group of scholars dared to do what they did, and when the whole country was in chaos, they forcibly revolted and cooperated with Emperor Zhongzong to win the situation. In every pulled team, there is a common group of people standing behind them. During this period, countless Confucian scholars were killed, and how many pride fell on the dust······"
"Taoism played a wrong role in this, neither accepting the common people like Buddhism, nor restoring peace to the land with Confucianism. The imperial court naturally wants to suppress it, and it must vigorously suppress it. After this battle, our Taoism completely parted ways with the entire chaotic dynasty and the regime headed by Zhongzong. ”
"After the imperial court suppressed the Daomen, Shizun also had the intention of closing the mountain, and recalled many foreign deacons. Now, more than 30 years have passed, and there are only about 100 Taoist temples that exist outside. ”
It is indeed wonderful, and this short word tells the experience of the entire troubled times.
Dan didn't expect the two of them to be so familiar with the title of the little aunt, so they just sighed.
He remembered the hundreds of blue marks in the sky and asked, "Those hundred or so paper cranes?"
Yangziju replied: "They are used to connect with the Taoist temple, and this time I will tell the deacons of the foreign mission that the master is about to retreat, and who will walk the Taoist gate." ”
Dan was taken aback and asked, "Daomen walking, who is the contemporary generation, junior sister, or junior brother?"
The corners of the mouths of the two men on the other side of the table twitched.
Dan understands Taoism and Taoism, and knows more about the meaning of Taoism, especially the identity of that person. Taoism is divided into inside and outside, the outer door is not on the table, the inner door is only these two little guys, he feels that according to Xi's worldview, he should be awarded to Yangziju. He raised his head and looked at the eyes of the two, a little confused.
I only heard Yangziju sigh: "Senior brother is laughing at us?"
Dan frowned, and he vaguely guessed.
Yangziju stared at him seriously: "Master said, Senior Brother, your Taoism is like a Dao of Evidence, and you have made some achievements, even if you don't cultivate it, there is hardly anything in the world that hinders it." He paused, and then accentuated his tone, "You are a senior brother, the first in qualification, the first in Taoism, and the future master of Taoism." ”
"Senior brother, you are not walking in the Daomen, who is? Who can be?!"
"Teacher, honorable ······ I told you about me?"
Meng Yu replied, "When I got started, I knew about the existence of Senior Brother. Yangziju nodded.
She continued, "Many people in the mountain know the senior brother, and I have heard the elder say that the senior brother has experienced the red dust of the world, and the Taoism is natural, and he is a real Taoist person", she glanced at Dan, "When the master respected the position of senior brother, he once made it clear that the senior brother was in the world of Zhongxing. ”
Dan wanted to curse someone. He didn't understand why the women in the small town loved to scold the streets, foaming at the mouth, and there was no beauty. Now I can barely understand it now. Qi Xi said so much, this thief ship was built when he was born, he has a fart choice!
When people listen to the story, they feel happy, because it is not their business, and it is interesting to listen to. Now that he has become the protagonist from a guest officer, he thinks of the grievances between Taoism and the imperial court, and when he thinks of this door, he only feels that his head is bigger. I think it's better not to look at this red dust.
The three of them had nothing to say, each with their own ideas.
Yangziju suddenly said a sentence and said to Dan: "Shizun asked Senior Brother to change your name, saying that you should change to an ordinary one, the previous Tai ······ Eye-catching. ”
He forcibly squeezed a stable word, a little happy, thinking that if he said this, he was afraid that he would suffer if he passed the word.
Meng Yu on the side was a little curious, and asked, "Senior brother, you haven't said what your name is?"
"Dan. Dan next to the single. He wrote to the two of them.
The young girl nodded, her face full of anticipation, "And then?"
"No, I'll call Dan. ”
The girl felt that something was wrong, but the boy reacted very quickly.
He cautiously asked, "Word for word?"
Dan nodded.
The boy covered his forehead, thinking that this name was indeed eye-catching.
With a single surname as the name, it is the name of the strong in the whole continent. For example, their master - Xi, Xi is his surname, but because he has been unique since he was a teenager, he was the head of Taoism when he was young, and he was alone in the world, and Emperor Zhongzong did not dare to shake his face. So he called him Shi became Hee. But no matter how advanced this senior brother's Dao method is, he is still a mortal cultivator, too young, this name is not good, but it will bring unnecessary trouble.
Dan was walking with a headache, and he didn't have time to talk about it, so he asked him about his next plan.
Yangziju replied that he needed to wait for the holy decree to invite them to Beijing, and it would take a few days.
Dan motioned for them to leave, and he said that he had to take care of what had happened. Before leaving, Yangziju asked, "What about the name?"
Dan thought that this was a new way of Taoism, his other life, so he agreed. He advised: "Be ordinary, but you have to have a bottom line, just forget it." ”
The young man thought to himself that the master and the senior brother were really a pair of living treasures.
