Maolu Town, Jintan City, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Xiyang Maoshan Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Yugang Peak.

At the eastern foot of Maoshan Mountain, the mountains are clustered, the valley and ravine are strange and lonely, the stone walls on both sides are colorful and bright, there are waterfalls on the mountain rocks, and the green trees under the mountain cliffs are dense.

On the top of the lush mountain forest, a Taoist temple with red walls and gray tiles, retro style stands majestically, goes up along the stone steps, the pines and cypresses on both sides are obliquely crossed, and the green bamboo reflects the shadow of Xiao Shu bamboo under the five-colored skylight, and the birds are singing a hundred times.

The top of Maoshan Mountain, Taoist palace view, Qianyuan view.

In the verdant and secluded shadows, a melodious piano song floats leisurely, implying a bit of "Taoist good sound". The sound of the piano is like a clear spring, twisting in and out between the gaps in the bamboo forest, slightly, the sound of the guzheng, pipa, yueqin, sanxian and sheng, flute, and flute ginseng and making a parallel sound breaks out, clear and graceful, blurry and wonderful. The rhyme is either crisp and mellow, or strong and intense, or long, refreshing and ear-loving, or melancholy and quiet, which makes people break their souls.

Qianyuan Temple, ** courtyard, next to the alchemy well, under the old pine tree with a crooked neck.

A square and upright stone table is arranged below, and on the stone table, there are thin lines of horizontal and vertical 19 jumps staggered to form one side after another, and above some of the grid points, there are black and white chess pieces arranged in a certain high and profound layout, forming a star-like mysterious pattern.

At either end of the stone table, two people sat opposite each other.

The person at the right end is wearing a washed blue wide-sleeved robe, an elastic band with a seam at the waist of the trousers, and tight bloomers at the upper and lower ends. This person is old, with convex cheekbones, broom eyebrows, a shrunken face, a high sorghum and a straight nose, a bent back and a bowed body, and his body is almost 90 degrees.

This old man who is old and old, has a charitable face, and a pair of kind eyes are especially spiritual.

If you know a little about Taoist masters, you will recognize this old man with a charitable face, named Zhang Zhishun, who is the honorary president of the Taoist Association of Hainan Province, the honorary abbot of Xi'an Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace, and the abbot of Yuchan Palace in Hainan Province. Born in 1912, he is now over 100 years old and is the twenty-first generation descendant of China's Quanzhen Longmen. Anyone who knows a little bit knows what such an identity means.

And opposite the old man, there was a man wearing a blue-black robe and a big coat and a pitch-black six-petal seamed melon skin hat sitting steadily, compared to the old man opposite, this man who was dressed like a fortune teller in addition to the lack of a soul banner seemed to be at most half a hundred, but a pair of clear and terrifying vicissitudes of life were by no means something that people of this age could have.

This fortune teller looks ordinary, ordinary, with thin eyebrows and sorghum, and a slightly tightened jaw, which is neither ugly nor handsome, but just makes people feel close and comfortable. The only thing that catches people's hearts is the pair of diamond-like eyes that no one can look at directly.

But when it comes to spiritual energy, this fortune teller's seemingly ordinary temperament is even better than that of the hundred-year-old Taoist on the other side.

The two sat opposite each other, but their eyes fell on the chess game on the stone table between them.

Time crawled inch by inch, but there was no movement on either side.

After a while, the hundred-year-old Taoist on the right sighed:

"TD, your craft has improved again. In this game, I lost. ”

"I conceded. Teacher. The blue-robed man sitting on the opposite side smiled slightly, his hands knelt in front of his knees, and his eyes were full of affinity.

Zhang Zhishun calmly admitted his defeat, and then, he pointed to the chess game on the stone table, and said with a smile:

"Looking at our chess game, it doesn't matter if the first four moves are not successful. From the fifth step onwards, black 5 hangs corners, white 6 takes off the first hanging, black 7 double flyes, and leads my white 8 and 10 twins to press one side, which is a typical use of the ancient formula of double swallows in today's games. Then your black 1 makes a three-three, which is the simplest set, but it is a crucial step in the whole game. White 2 tigers, black 3 crawled, my white 4 broke to eat a word, this part of your son does not seem to be cheap, but it has finalized the final situation. In the end, although I tried my best to save, but the general trend has gone, the left and right are staggered, it is difficult to turn the tide, and finally lose your eight eyes, it is a wooden boat, and the east of the river will never return. ”

"Uncle Shi's eyes are like torches, and his eyes are like watching fire, and Daoming is really admired. Uncle Shi is old, and his chess skills can still be so profound, and analyzing such a head is the way, which is already very human. If Uncle Shi is thirty years younger, Daoming will definitely not be an opponent. The man in the green robe smiled slightly, very humbly expressing the shallowness of his talent.

Hearing Song Daoming's humble words, Zhang Zhishun smiled, squinted his eyes and said with a smile;

"Daoming, I just appreciate your non-arrogant and impetuous nature. After a pause, he sighed and said, "Daoming, to tell you the truth, although you have an excellent understanding of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and the three religions, and your attainments are quite high, you are a rare Taoist all-round talent in the world. But judging from your fate, you are a prince who is difficult to come out of the world. Although you are not a hairpin, if you are not a monk at the beginning, it is more than enough to be a celebrity in the palace. Although you can't change the glory and wealth of the tenth world, you can also enjoy a lifetime of happiness. ”

For Zhang Zhishun's words, Song Daoming just smiled and said nothing, he picked up a chess piece with one hand, gently knocked on the stone table, and said:

"They are all laborious and laymen, how can they get the door to liberation? Song Youdali has nine monarchs of the Duan clan in Dali, and nine people have become monks to avoid customs. Qing has Shunzhi shaved his hair as a monk. The emperor's life is still difficult to get rid of the Buddha's fate, I am just a laborer, how can I still want to seek any glory and wealth. ”

Song Daoming smiled kindly:

"Whether it is joining the WTO or leaving the world, it is just the next game of chess called life. The gray collar who is a cow and a horse, the blue collar who runs around the hall, the white-collar who flatters the upper and lower, and the golden collar who can't live all day in fear. It's just a child running around on the chessboard. ”

Song Daoming's knuckles tapped on the corner of the stone table, and an unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"The world is black and white, who is in charge?"

Seeing Song Daoming expressing his emotion, Zhang Zhishun stroked his beard and smiled: "It really has the demeanor of your immortal master back then." ”

Hearing the word master, a trace of obscurity flashed on Song Daoming's gentle face, which was not ruthless, but there was a kind of indescribable weirdness.

"Uncle Daoming, I've been practicing the piano for three months, and I should be proficient, but my "Huanglong Tucui" always can't play the feeling that Uncle you taught me, why is this?" A clear and beautiful female voice came from the side, and then, a long-haired woman wearing a batik white lily camisole and a medium-length cloth skirt walked out slowly from the bamboo forest with a wooden support, she was holding a lyre in her hand, the girl's face was demure, but her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

"Skilled?" Looking at the Tingting girl who walked out of the bamboo forest, Song Daoming smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Min, there is a sentence in the "Book of Rites", which is called 'If you don't learn to manipulate the man, you can't install the strings.'" When you are in chords, the technique is not smooth enough, although dexterous, but it still has the meaning of jerky, there is always a trace of hesitation when the third degree is superimposed, you can't do it in one go, the water is as smooth as it comes, and your heart is not quiet enough. You can be quiet for three minutes, but you can't be calm for a quarter of an hour, the more you play to the end, the more impetuous, and the artistic conception you created before will naturally be broken by your restlessness. You are lively and open-minded, "Huanglong Tucui" is too secluded and quiet, you can start with the high-pitched and leisurely "Yuanfeng Four Songs" or the agitated and urgent "Noisy". These two songs are more suitable for your temperament and are easier to start. ”

"I see. In this way, my playing technique and mood are not proficient enough. I understand, thank you Uncle for your advice. The beautiful eyes of the girl in the white dress and black hair flashed with a bright color, holding the lyre, and then politely thanked Song Daoming, and retreated into the bamboo forest. After a while, the refreshing and melodious sound of the piano slowly wafted out of the bamboo forest like smoke.

Hearing the curling silk and bamboo music coming from the forest, Song Daoming closed his eyes and hummed softly, comfortable and leisurely.

It's just that this leisure didn't last long before it was broken again.

"Daoming Zhenren, Daoming Zhenren! My wife just gave birth to a daughter yesterday, please count the eight characters and choose a name!" The source of the voice was a middle-aged man who rushed in from outside the Taoist temple, with a broad face and a constant appearance.

Song Daoming slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the sweaty man behind him, smiled slightly, and said:

"It turned out to be Boss Chen, but I haven't seen him for a while. Congratulations on your delight. ”

"Hehe, Daoming Zhenren, I know that you are the most capable in the whole Jiangsu Province, this time my wife just gave birth to a daughter, so I took a ride up the mountain to ask for a name. The middle-aged man named Boss Chen smiled flatteringly. "I also trouble the master to make it convenient and give him a good name. While speaking, Boss Chen took out a thick red envelope from his underwear pocket and stuffed it into Song Daoming's hand.

"Naturally convenient. I am happy to be a noble girl, this is a happy event in life, and it makes sense that I should not accept this red envelope. But this red envelope is full of joy, so I will accept it, and I will have some joy and good luck and prolong my life. Song Daoming was also refreshed, rejected the red envelope with a flat hand, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the little girl's birthday is?" The boss surnamed Chen quickly gave his daughter's birthday.

Listening to the eight characters of Boss Chen's birthday, Song Daoming lowered his head slightly, pinched his right hand into an orchid finger, and after pinching a few times, he opened his eyes again and read slowly:

"May ...... The second day of the first lunar month...... ...... at noon"

"Master, what is my daughter missing?" asked Boss Chen with a grin.

"There is nothing lacking in the eight characters," Song Daoming looked at Boss Chen and said, "There is only weak and not weak, the so-called lack is not lacking, but it is relative." Let me do the math......"

After a little hesitation, Song Daoming smiled and said:

"Boss Chen, your daughter is a man of heaven and earth, and she should be smart and benevolent in the future, indifferent to fame and fortune, and obedient, but easy to be mediocre, lack of enterprising, and be slow and negative. Your daughter has a small calamity at the age of three, and is prone to kidney and heart diseases, and at the age of twelve, she is in the office, and she is very lucky, and she is excellent in her exams. Twenty-four-year-old luck, meet a partner, or be promoted. At the age of thirty-six, there is a catastrophe, and in the event of a catastrophe, you need to be careful and vigilant. When he was forty years old, his wife and fortune would be stable that year, he could make a lot of money, and he could have a position in a financial institution, but his parents and family would be changed. If you are seventy-two years old and have a serious disease, if you can survive it safely, you will live to be ninety-two years old. ”

Song Daoming's explanation made Boss Chen stunned.

"Boss Chen, your little girl is weak in water and fire, and according to the poor road, your daughter can have a single name 'Yue'. ”

"Yue, why?" said Boss Chen.

"There is neither 'fire' nor 'water' in the word Yue. Song Daoming smiled and said, "You are wrong." Boss Chen, since ancient times, there has been a saying in traditional Chinese medicine, which first came from the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", that is, the five organs and the five elements correspond respectively, among them, fire belongs to the heart, water belongs to the kidney, wood belongs to the liver, metal lungs, and earth belongs to the spleen. The word "Yue" in "pleasant" is not just a vertical heart on the left side, isn't it exactly "heart"? The heart belongs to fire, so it makes up for the lack of fire in the eight characters. ”

"Oh, I see! There doesn't seem to be 'water' in the word 'Yue' in the ......, so how can you replenish 'water'?" Boss Chen still wondered.

Song Daoming smiled again and said: "Boss Chen, if you think about it carefully, isn't the right side of the word 'Yue' exactly the word 'dui'? Moreover, the word 'Yue' itself has the image of joy, and it has the meaning of pleasant and beautiful sound, which means good luck, so the single name of the word 'Yue' is just right. Naming Chen Yue can ensure that Boss Chen's daughter is strong and strong, and has few illnesses and no diseases. ”

Song Daoming explained while smiling, while Boss Chen nodded more than he listened.

"That's the truth...... Song Daxian, you are really clever, my wife she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, said that I came here for nothing, if I didn't insist, I'm afraid she would have to stop me, fortunately, I came to visit Song Daxian today, it was really an eye-opener, and I benefited a lot! Yue, Chen Yue...... A good name, it's called Chen Yue. Thank you Song Daxian for the name. Repeating the name of the little girl in his mouth, the chairman of an industrial group in Wuxi City, who has unique achievements but believes in Buddhism, ghosts and gods, and believes in the destiny of heaven, thanked Song Daoming who was smiling and silent, and finally left in a hurry with a happy face.
