Chapter Ninety-Three: Zuo Ci Visits
The winter in Jiaozhou, it is not cold at all, although some trees have dropped some leaves, but generally it is still green, the pedestrians on the road are completely not shrunk from the north, a robe is enough, the street is full of people coming and going, the river is endless, completely different from the war in the Central Plains, here is a peaceful place.
In recent years, Jiaozhou has become more and more prosperous, thanks to the fact that Taixuan has sent people to Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili border to pick up people all the year round, and countless people have gone to Jiaozhou to avoid chaos in the Central Plains, especially the triennial examination in Jiaozhou, which is famous all over the world.
At the same time of the war, even many celebrities came, such as Liu Xi, Xue Cong, Cheng Bing, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Huan Ye, Yuan Hui, Mu Zi, and Kang Sanghui.
All the celebrities who came to Jiaozhou asked Taixuan to teach in the two colleges of the Jiaozhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and the college collected countless classics from the Central Plains over the years by paper printing books, so that these famous people who love books like their lives are fascinated and willingly run to the college to do learning.
The winter Jiaozhou sun is still a little hot on the street, Taixuan walked alone on the street, tasted the street food, realized the red dust, and saw the world's life, old age, sickness, death, love, farewell, separation, can't beg, resentment for a long time, can't let go.
"You kid is at ease, much more chic than the old way, give the old way a seat!" Suddenly an old man with a squint, a limp, a white rattan crown on his head, a green lazy coat, and wooden shoes on his feet, holding a strange-shaped wooden cane in his hand, with a gourd hanging on it, looked at Taixuan who was eating on the street and scolded with a smile.
"Have you eaten Mr. Wujiao, I'm in for a treat!" Taixuan had already discovered that there were great monks coming over in Jiaozhou, and he had been wandering around the city recently, and after calculating the heavenly opportunity, he speculated that Zuo Ci was coming, so he sat on the stall and didn't move, dragged a small bench, gave way to a place, and said in his mouth: "Boss, have another one!"
"Give Lao Dao a gourd wine, and invite Lao Dao to eat this street food, you Jiaozhou Mudang is very shabby!" Zuo Ci sat down, took out the gourd on the crutches, and asked Taixuan to pour him wine.
After Tai Xuan took it casually, he handed Xiao Si, the helper next to him, a piece of silver, and asked him to spend the money and go to the best place in the city to buy wine and bring the wine back.
After the little guy took the dazzling ingot of silver and the gourd, he muttered in his heart: "How much wine can you pour into the gourd if the fart is bigger, the most famous Qili Xiang wine shop in the city, the best wine is a big jar of silver for one tael of silver, which is about ten taels of silver, and you can buy several large vats of good wine!" But I don't dare to say that Taixuan, as a state pastor, often wanders around the street, often eats on the side of the road, and everyone who does business on the street still knows each other, and I went honestly.
The guy in the restaurant took the gourd and looked at the silver handed over, and he looked confused, and asked, "You're not mistaken, right?"
The little guy was also helpless, so he had to pull Taixuan's tiger skin and bluff: "Lord Zhou Mu let me do this!"
The shopkeeper slapped the guy over, personally took out ten jars of the best wine from the room, and began to pour into the gourd with trepidation, after a jar was filled, the gourd seemed to have no movement, as if it was poured into the river, and there was no wave at all.
The guys in the little house and the restaurant stared like bull's eyes, and they couldn't believe that this little gourd could hold so much wine.
The shopkeeper was also shocked, knowing that this was not a simple gourd, it was a treasure gourd, and he did not give up, and he took out two jars from the room and poured them in, which was still the same, and seemed to be able to be filled. I had to return the little gourd to the little guy, and watched with envy as the little guy carefully held the gourd and left.
"The wine is good!" Zuo Ci took a sip of wine and praised.
"Of course, what I teach, there can be bad ones!" Tai Xuan smirked smugly.
"You have made this Jiaozhou governance thriving, and it is rare to be a peaceful place in troubled times, much stronger than the Taiping Road Yellow Turban of Zhang Jiao's kid!" Zuo Ci smiled and commented too Xuan.
"Brother Dao Lu is different from me, for the sake of peace for everyone, Brother Dao can give up his own willingness to enter the Divine Array, I am not as good as him, if the seniors want to see him, you can go to the City God Temple to see him!" Tai Xuan shook his head and said.
"I've seen it in the past few days, Shinto, the slave of all beings, it's rare to be detached!" Zuo Ci sighed.
"The Tao becomes all things, all things have their own way, the predecessors know that this Shinto is not the way of Brother Dao, Brother Dao can sacrifice himself to replace the Divine Array Eye, and it is very consistent with Shinto all the way, and now he has entered the Divine Dao, and he can be regarded as the Tao!" Tai Xuan did not agree with Zuo Ci's statement, and expressed his opinion.
"Yes, it's my short-sightedness, Zi Fei knows the joy of fish, he was indignant back then, this Liu family has no cold in the world, only to embark on this desperate road, I didn't expect him to let him walk out of a road with your help, it can be regarded as seeking benevolence!" Zuo Ci sighed a little.
"Seniors looking for me?" Tai Xuan asked.
"I can't look for you if I have nothing to do, I am invited to eat at the street stall, you Jiaozhou pastor is afraid that I will give you a poor meal, and they all say that Jiaozhou is rich, so you don't want to see me, an old man!" Zuo Ci scolded.
Taixuan was scolded for no reason, so he had to invite Zuo Ci back to the state pastor's mansion for a banquet, and invited Zhang Jiao out of the City God Temple to accompany him.
During the banquet, the three of them talked about Xuan, but they were also very happy, for three days, every day.
"Lao Dao is leaving, thank you for your hospitality, you kid be careful, the Taoist Temple of Liangshan is coming to trouble you!" Zuo Ci reminded Taixuan before leaving.
"Zhang Quanling's Yin God is complete?" Tai Xuan asked in surprise.
"Is this too much, after the divine array was broken, he suffered a lot of backlash, it is estimated that he will only recover from his injuries, the flying sword in your hand is the inheritance treasure of the Zhang family, and now it has fallen into your hands and is going to be taken back. It's good that your kid cultivates well, look at you pleasing to the eye, this "Jindan Secret Record" is sent to you, I'll go!" Zuo Ci laughed, the breeze blew, and he fled away.
Back to the quiet room, open the "Jindan Secret Record" presented by Zuo Ci in his hand, which contains three volumes of "Taiqing Dan Sutra", and one volume of "Jiuding Dan Sutra" and "Jin Liquid Dan Sutra", including how to tie the Jin Dan and the alchemy of the outer Dan Dan formula.
Taixuan's comprehension of the "Jindan Secret Record" of the avenue Jin Dan and the Taoist book read several generations ago, but how to figure out how to tie the Dan in the future, in his heart: "The golden one, the strong and permanent incorruptible thing, the Dan one, the perfect light and the clean thing, the name of the golden pill is a metaphor for the true spiritual nature." This nature is called the mean in Confucianism, Yuanjue in interpretation, and Jindan in Taoism. Confucianism is holy, Buddha is Buddha, and Taoism is immortal. The three religions all take the original truth as the foundation of enlightenment, and the fool does not know, and uses hardware and eight stones to refine medicine into a golden pill. Don't you know that the true nature is in the great furnace of its own nature, and it has been refined and matured by its own Dharma and Dao fire, and it has gathered its own Three Treasures Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi, Yuan Shen and Dao Dharma to see the true spirit of nature, and to obtain the true spirit of the true spirit, and you can form a high-grade Dao Jindan. Jin Dancheng can be as long as heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and moon, how can anything of quality in the world be made?"
