After the snow, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the sun is warm.

The roads, yards, and flat land up and down Huashan are all cleaned cleanly, people's faces show a cheerful smile, from time to time there are teenagers and girls singing loudly, the middle tune of Guanzhong is delicate and smooth, the melody is beautiful, the horn of northern Shaanxi is rough and free, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the people who hear it all show a knowing smile.

Yue Buqun attended the graduation ceremony of the Zhizhi class, and was in a good mood, and this year there were 28 children promoted to the outer gate, and the number of Huashan disciples increased again, reaching 142.

This year, 47 students were enrolled in the children's class, and with the addition of 5 people who went up the mountain at the end of last year, the total number of students in the children's class reached 130.

Five years later, the number of formal disciples of the Huashan faction can be doubled again, and it is expected that there will be more than ten first-class masters, and at least forty second-rate disciples, and the strength will not be inferior to that of the Songshan faction.

The management class has also begun to recruit students one after another, more than a dozen people have begun to study in the class, these disciples also learn Huashan martial arts and other related courses, but the requirements are not high, focusing on learning various management methods, knowledge of all walks of life, arithmetic, finance, Ming law, etc., to cultivate loyal management talents for Huashan industry.

Ning Zhong accompanied her senior brother to the ceremony as usual, and she was in a happy mood at the moment.

On the one hand, it is because the younger disciples have grown up vigorously and achieved gratifying results.

More importantly, yesterday's settlement of Huashan's financial income and expenditure last year and the joy of collecting 270,000 taels of silver have not disappeared until today.

Although I know that most of it is a one-time income, with this money, many of my brother's plans can be carried out more relaxedly.

Out of Huashan Academy, Yue Buqun remembered something, and said to Ning Zhongze: "Senior sister, you go back first, I'll go to see Daoist Xuanqingzi and discuss something with Yi Yangzi." ”

Ning Zhong said: "Okay, come back early, Hua'er wants you to accompany him to dinner." ”

Yue Buqun said yes, and parted ways with Ning Zhong and came to Huashan Daoyuan.

Huashan Taoist Academy was established two years ago after recruiting Xuanqingzi and Yi Yangzi as masters and apprentices, and the two are also true branches.

It happened that Huashan hired Taoism to teach, and Yi Yangzi, who was dedicated to studying Taoism, took his elderly master to Huashan, and while preaching to the little disciples, he sorted out and read the Taoist scriptures left over from Huashan, and lived a leisurely life.

It is said to be a Taoist courtyard, but it is a small courtyard, there are three main rooms inside, two rooms on the left and right wings, the middle hall is dedicated to the three Qings, and the left side is a two-person room.

Because Xuan Qingzi was old and inconvenient to live, Yi Yangzi had been sleeping outside the master's bedroom, so that he could wait for the master to get up at night.

The right side is arranged as a study, and the copies of the Taoist scriptures sent by Senior Brother Zhao are placed here, plus the hundreds of Taoist scriptures that Yi Yangzi brought up the mountain from the small Taoist temple, this small study has nearly thousands of Taoist scriptures, and Yi Yangzi is divided into categories and placed neatly. Only two wings on both sides were used to place sundries, and two were empty for use.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Xuan Qingzi holding a book of Taoist scriptures, as if he was not looking, lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, comfortable and comfortable, the courtyard wall blocked the cold breeze outside, and under the sun, the courtyard felt exceptionally warm.

Yue Buqun walked up to Xuanqingzi and greeted softly, "Daoist Xuanqing, how are you doing?"

Xuan Qingzi saw the head of the door coming in and struggled to get up, Yue Buqun hurriedly held it down and said, "You don't need to get up, it's good to lie down like this." ”

Xuan Qingzi said: "I'm in good health, at this age, thanks to the head of the family, he will not give up, take in our master and apprentice, have food and shelter, it's already great, if there is anything, I will ask Yi Yang to do it, you are welcome!"

He turned his head and shouted, "Yi Yang, come out quickly, the head is here." ”

A twenty-five or sixteen-year-old Qingxiu Taoist priest came out of the study on the right, and when he saw Yue Buqun, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Daozu is merciful, Yi Yangzi has seen the master." ”

Yue Buqun returned the salute and said with a small smile: "Daoist Yiyang doesn't need to be polite, but today he has something to worry about Daoist." ”

Yi Yangzi said: "The head doesn't have to be polite, please come in and speak." ”

He said to Xuan Qingzi again: "Master, are you still basking in the sun? ”

Xuan Qingzi waved his hand and said, "I'm fine here, don't worry about me, you go and help the head of the house." ”

Yue Buqun and Yi Yangzi entered the middle hall, worshiped the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, put on the three pillars of incense, and went to the study together to sit and talk.

Yue Buqun said: "I look at the true scriptures of the Taoism of various sects, expound the avenue, and teach people to cultivate themselves, but they are all profound, mysterious and mysterious, and they need to be explained by the master to get the true meaning of the Taoist scriptures." ”

Yi Yangzi said: "This is indeed the case, so it is necessary for those who cultivate the Tao to study diligently and persevere, so that they can get the Great Dao." ”

Yue Buqun said: "The Tao is profound, you need to have a certain foundation, and you need to be proficient in writing before you can learn, but ordinary people, most of them, have no ink on their chests, or they are rough enough to understand the text, how can they learn the Tao?"

Yi Yangzi frowned and said, "In this way, there is no other way but to strengthen learning." ”

Yue Buqun said: "Strengthening learning is a thing, but ordinary people, if they have surplus wealth, the first choice should be to study and take the imperial examination. I have a method that can lead people to the Tao, but I need to worry about the Tao. ”

When Yi Yangzi heard this, he hurriedly said: "What is the master's clever method, although he comes, as long as Yi Yang's ability is within the scope of his ability, he doesn't dare to refuse." ”

Yue Buqun said: "This matter is easy to say, it is easy to say, it is difficult to say, but it is really difficult." I thought, since the Tao Sutra is profound and mysterious, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, can we compile some simple Tao Sutras for ordinary people to read?"

Yi Yang is embarrassed: "To write the Taoist scriptures, you must be a master of the Tao and the law to put it into writing, otherwise you will make it up and be seen by others, but you are smiling and generous, and you can abandon it as if you were walking, how can you compile it casually?"

Yue Buqun said: "What I say, there is no need to compile a profound Dao method, as long as the words are straightforward, catchy, and direct to the Great Dao." ”

"You see, before we eat every day, if we can recite the Tao Sutra by mouth, we can appreciate the selflessness of the Great Dao, create all things, nurture all sentient beings, teach people to cherish food, and praise the Great Dao. Is it difficult to compile such a text?"

Yi Yangzi said with a smile: "If you just praise the Great Dao, teach people to be kind, and compile dozens of recitations, it is not difficult. ”

Yue Buqun said again: "If a woman gives birth to a child, she reads dozens of Taoist scriptures, is grateful for the subtleties of the avenue, turns into a human being, and continues the bloodline, is it difficult to write such scriptures?"

Yi Yangzi's expression slowly became solemn, and he said, "It's not difficult!"

Yue Buqun continued: "Farewell, receiving the wind, dying, praying for blessings, repentance, marriage, further education, opening a business, laying the foundation, moving in, etc., these big things that are often encountered in life correspond to the compilation of a Taoist scripture, or as a blessing, or with gratitude, or with relief, or with awe. ”

"Preaching begins with children, and people recite from an early age, and in the long run, when they get older, will they have more Taoist hearts and greater chances of taking refuge in the Tao?"
