Volume 2: Cangyun Mountain Chapter 47: On the Common People
Although it was a boring thing to meet the emperor with the head of the family, and I couldn't understand them playing dumb riddles, but in the end, the task given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, Mo Lingkong didn't dare to be careless, this important task of monitoring the world's martial arts was not a joke.
Mo Lingkong was sitting on the futon at this time, with a pair of eyes eager to see through everyone, and then give them a red and black account, and throw it in front of His Majesty the Emperor, waiting for the suppression and trial from Yun Wuwei.
But these treacherous and cunning old rivers and lakes can be easily seen through, Mo Lingkong was very frustrated, except for the Gongqiu Master and the withered apricot monk who were blatant, he really couldn't find the clues.
But he is not in a hurry, it is only now that it begins, and the fox will finally show its tail.
In this case, let's first listen to what kind of big truth these bald monks want to say, so that the whole world must listen to them.
Lu Sheng, a little Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, sat behind Mo Lingkong, snatched Mo Lingkong with his fingers, and said uncertainly: "You are Senior Brother Lingkong?"
Mo Lingkong turned around, and saw a little Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth, dressed as a member of the Lingwu Sword Sect, Mo Lingkong remembered that his name was Lu Sheng, but he was three or four years younger than himself, and this was another little senior brother, he was very unwilling, and he had an idea, and said, "Little brother, how old are you this year?"
"Thirteen years old. Lu Sheng replied seriously.
"Then you see, I'm seventeen years old this year, four years older than you, do you think you should call me brother?"
Lu Sheng pinched his fingers and counted carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, that's the case." ”
"Then you see, since I'm older than you, you have to call me brother, so is it bigger than you no matter where you are?" Mo Lingkong continued to induce.
"Yes. Lu Sheng grabbed his head and replied.
"So, shouldn't you also call me Senior Brother?" Mo Lingkong had encouragement in his eyes, just like Mr. Teaching Students, he was afraid that Lu Sheng would oppose it.
Sure enough, Lu Sheng seemed to remember something, stared at Mo Lingkong and said, "But I heard from the master that you are the junior brother of Senior Brother Yunqing, so naturally you are my junior brother." ”
Mo Lingkong's heart is like a knife, he is just about to grab the sky, who said that this guy is very stupid, this is clearly a great wisdom and foolishness, originally he thought that he had fallen into a trap by following the good temptation, and then obediently shouted "Senior brother", but he didn't expect this guy to move out of the rules of the division directly, and Mo Lingkong couldn't find a reason to refute it at all.
Looking at Mo Lingkong's distressed face, Lu Sheng actually smiled very secretly. Mo Lingkong's senses were very sensitive, so he naturally caught this small action, and his eyes rolled sharply, thinking about it. He turned back to Lu Sheng and said, "I said Lu Sheng, do you say that the senior brother is powerful or the junior brother is powerful?"
Lu Sheng thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Naturally, senior brother is powerful. ”
Mo Lingkong smiled cheaply: "That's good, I'll compete in two competitions, whoever is better is the senior brother." ”
Lu Sheng was instantly unhappy, what he was most afraid of was that others would expose this shortcoming, he had been in the Lingwu Sword Sect for many years, and he was a personal disciple of Sanxuan Zhenren, but compared to other senior brothers, he was regarded as an elm head, he couldn't learn martial arts at all, and he was so clumsy that even the most basic swordsmanship was just so-so.
Compared with Yun Qinglai, it is really a lot worse, seven or eight years of day and night penance, there is no progress, one day hiding in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read, swallowing dates, reading everything, this is a good choice, to avoid being ridiculed, but also to be quiet, the key is that he is very obsessed with this.
Unconsciously, there are a lot of things in my mind, if you want to talk about this article, there are really few peers who can catch up with him, as for martial arts, it is not worth mentioning.
As soon as Mo Lingkong's idea came out, Lu Sheng hurriedly proposed, how about endorsement, Mo Lingkong sighed again that this guy is really smart, but he has the ability to never forget, and now it is very inconvenient to use force, so he nodded and agreed to Lu Sheng's request.
Mo Lingkong smiled evilly, and told "The Biography of Li Wa", "The Biography of Yingying" and "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" in a general manner, the stories in them were very attractive to Lu Sheng, although he had read a lot of books before, what Mo Lingkong said, he didn't touch on it at all, especially what kind of love and love, he didn't understand it at all, he could only worship Mo Lingkong as a master.
Mo Lingkong was very proud when he saw that he was stumped by Lu Sheng, and in order to convince him, he said: "Brother, why don't you tell me what you are watching, and see if I have seen it too?"
Lu Sheng was originally very discouraged, but when he heard Mo Lingkong say this, he was interested again, so he recited "Zhuangzi", "Laozi" and "Zhou Yi" freely, Mo Lingkong just listened with his ears pricked up, and I have to say that this guy has put a lot of effort into it.
Mo Lingkong not only has the ability to never forget, but also does not forget his ears, and Lu Sheng fell into his trap unconsciously.
The three classics that Lu Sheng memorized are collectively called "Sanxuan", and the master is called Sanxuan Zhenren, which is obviously well-founded, and similarly, these three classics are difficult to understand, and Lu Sheng also has the meaning of showing off.
As a result, he was very proud and waited to get back a city, but Mo Lingkong said that he had also read these three classics, and he also recited them word for word, and Lu Sheng was completely dumbfounded.
Mo Lingkong raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Lu Sheng, it seems that you lost, this senior brother, you should still call it obediently!"
Lu Sheng naturally heard that Mo Lingkong had fought against Gao He Bu below, thinking that he must have no hope for this little effort, so he had to hang his head and call "Senior Brother".
Mo Lingkong was overjoyed when he heard it, this is not easy, finally, someone called himself senior brother, in Cangyun Mountain. He is an out-and-out junior brother, whoever comes out is on his head, and there is no self-esteem at all, and now he finally coaxed Lu Sheng to call him Senior Brother, and his heart was happy.
Mo Lingkong laughed and said, "Senior brother, help senior brother do something!"
Lu Sheng had no choice but to say: "Senior brother has something to do, just tell me, junior brother will do his best to help you." ”
So, Mo Lingkong fanned the flames fiercely, saying that this grand event was specially targeted by the great monks for the Lingwu Sword Sect, and there were these people sitting on the field, many of whom were secretly helping Chonglong Temple, and asked Lu Sheng to secretly help him remember which ones were helping Chonglong Temple bully the master.
Although he is not good at it, he has a strong point, that is, he has good eyesight, a little bit of wind and grass, he has a full view, in this way, Mo Lingkong is a lot easier, and it is not in vain, it seems that this little junior brother has received a lot of money!
The Lantern Festival, according to the Taoist "Sanyuan" saying, is called the Shangyuan Festival, a thousand years ago, a brilliant monarch in the first month of the first month in the Ganquan Palace to worship "Taiyi" (also known as Tianyi, Taiyi, Beichen, for the North Star, close to the North Celestial Pole, almost immobile on the heavenly dome, all the stars [including the Big Dipper] revolve around it. "Taiyi" is the center of the sky, and there is the astronomical phenomenon of the stars arching and guarding, so the ancients respected it as the emperor of heaven. For example, "The River Map Brackets the Earth": "Heaven and earth were first established, there was the emperor's clan, and he was in the same way as the (northern) pole"; "The Imperial Century": "The emperor is (for) the dazzling treasure, the emperor of the earth is Tianyi, and the emperor of man is Taiyi." It also refers to the origin and essence of all things in the universe, the chaotic qi before the division of heaven and earth. That is, the Taoist called "Tao", "the Taoist, the most refined, can not be formal, can not be famous, strong for the name, called Taiyi". )
This event was regarded by later generations as the precursor of the sacrifice to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In the previous dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and the officials and ordinary people generally "lit lamps to offer to Buddha" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the lights of Buddhism spread all over the people. Since the previous generation, lantern lanterns have become a legal thing and have gradually become a folk custom.
Master Tianrong is very proud of this custom, and talks eloquently, whether it is eating rice balls or appreciating flower lanterns, it is said that it is a manifestation of Buddhism and the people having fun, and from the beginning he blocked the opponent to Buddhism will only talk about this breakthrough.
Although the main spearhead this time is the Cangyun Sword Sect, but the Taoist system is pure, and the Lingwu Sword Sect is the first, therefore, the resolute Sanxuan Zhenren retorted: "The people's desire is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, and the prosperity of the country lies in the people's success.
This is really powerful, and it is really in line with Sanxuan's fiery temper, this master who is the least like a Taoist master is really concerned about the common people.
Master Tianrong naturally did not agree very much, and retorted: "What people do, the first thing is in the heart, if all living beings are ignorant, how can they follow the heavens and respond to people, do not know the righteousness of life, how can they strive to move forward, my Buddha is compassionate, enlightening all sentient beings, so that all people know how to live, plant cause and effect, and get the reincarnation of heaven to goodness, transcend all things, and be at ease, which is the original intention of my Buddha." ”
This statement is obviously different from what most people expected, such a big battle, isn't it Buddhism and Taoism talking about mysteries, but just focusing on this common life, which seems a little strange.
However, it would not be surprising if they knew that the ultimate purpose was related to the imperial regime.
Liuyun also stood up, after all, he was the one who was crowned the first opponent by Buddhism, after all, the vacant title of national teacher would probably fall on his head. Liuyun said: "Talking about the enlightenment of the people's wisdom, on the way of life, the righteousness of nature to know life, the reward for good and punishment of evil, anyway, to teach each other, there are standards, it is called order, from the internal alchemy to nourish the spirit and spirit, the external transfer of the five elements of Shengke, the Tao of nature, and the theory of medicine and food, is the long-term way." ”
Seeing that the master Tianlu he had seen before was spitting out Buddha words again, Mo Lingkong knew that this matter was endless, and he was drowsy when he heard it, so he had to talk to Lu Sheng about some anecdotes to relieve his fatigue.
I instilled all the stories about love and love that I saw before to Lu Sheng, and I don't know if Lu Sheng's Dao heart will be affected, seeing the bright moon not far away, Mo Lingkong smiled and said, "Senior brother, how is that sister." ”
Lu Sheng had actually seen Mingyue a long time ago, and he felt that he had seen it somewhere, and he was very familiar with it, until Song Wenxi appeared, he didn't remember that these two people were not the ones who robbed him of his mount at the fork in the road, but he didn't expect it to be another senior sister. Lu Sheng still remembers that time when he was punished by his master for sweeping the ground for half a month, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Mo Lingkong saw that Lu Sheng was in thought, thinking that he had developed the little junior brother's primitive instinct for women, so he slapped Lu Sheng and said, "Senior brother, you can't think about this senior sister, that's my daughter-in-law!"
Lu Sheng looked at Mo Lingkong in surprise, compared it left and right, and didn't think it was a good match made in heaven, what surprised him even more was that there was a cold gaze rushing over, Mo Lingkong naturally felt it, and hurriedly made a surrender action, stuck out his tongue, and pulled Tang Wenhua next to him over as a shield, and he heard a cold warning voice in his ears: "If you talk nonsense, I cut your tongue." ”
Mo Lingkong felt a little cold and wrapped his clothes tightly......
