Chapter 144: Congratulatory Banquet
In a stunned gaze, Zhao Ran shrank in an unnoticed corner, and under his gesture command, applause rang out like a tide, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall was extremely warm.
“...... I still remember that year, I got Qiu Zhenren's guidance from the old Tao, and I was determined to the Tao, so I abandoned my family and business, said goodbye to the eunuchs, visited the famous mountains of Haiyue, and finally met my teacher Huolong Zhenren, and the teacher was cut to the vowels, and explained the secret art of practicing for me. From what it is, the so-called congenital no catty, no strategy, only the old and the young are divided, but the civil and military are separated, purely with true intentions, the knife is difficult to understand, the old way I hold the yuan fetus in October, nine years and face the wall......"
This paragraph is Zhang Laodao's self-narration of his experience of entering the Tao and cultivating back then, mixed with a large number of cultivation essentials, which can be regarded as dry goods in this speech. The monks listened intently and realized each other, and even the advanced cultivators of the Dao Realm were no exception.
In the end, Zhang Laodao expressed his feelings: "...... The treasure of the innate true spirit, the void of the body, what is the flower? There is no flower, no form, no image, it is difficult to draw and difficult to draw...... Although there is no name and no surname, it is to the void to the soul, silent and unmoving, and the feeling is passed, such as the sound of the valley, and the wonderful hidden in the vacuum...... Tempering with the true fire of samadhi becomes true, and from the vacuum you can return to the void. If the Tao is too empty, there is nothing empty, there is only one truth, and there is nothing else......"
"The treasure of the innate true spirit, the three things of the unified essence, qi and spirit, the true spirit is restored, the three things are restored, the self-creation and self-transformation, the chaos and harmony, the union is one, the beginning is from nothing to create existence, and the self-existence is to transform nothing. ”
These insights are the most important to all the Taoist monks who attended the ceremony, especially those great monks who are in line with the Dao realm.
Zhang Laodao finally finished speaking, and after taking a long breath, he folded the manuscript paper and was about to put it away, but Zhao Ran, who was waiting early, took a few steps in front of him, took it with his hand, put it in his arms, and then handed over a glass of wine with his backhand, signaling Zhang Laodao to follow the procedure.
Zhang Laodao's cheeks were slightly hot, but he didn't have time to care, he picked up the wine glass like a marionette, and then said to the audience: "Here, Lao Dao, I will bring a glass of wine, and I would like to thank all the Taoist friends and guests for their hard work. ”
In the sound of "drinking", Zhang Laodao stepped down from the altar and returned to his seat.
Sun Biyun continued to come to the stage, said two emotional words, and then said: "In order to thank all Taoist friends and guests, I have specially prepared some songs and dances in Wudang, please enjoy them together." ”
These are some small programs prepared by Zhao Ran for the banquet, because the time is relatively tight, so a strict order was issued to the jungle of Huguang Shifang. Later, someone came up with a way to go directly to the palace of the king of Chu to "forcibly" recruit the royal palace's musicians and dancers, and this was the only way to complete the task.
At this moment, the bell music in the hall is ringing, and the song and dance are dancing on the stage, which is the tea picking song of the folk characteristics of Jingchu area sung.
In the midst of music and dancing, Zhao Ran came to Zhang Laodao's side and reminded in a low voice: "Da Zhenren, it's time to change clothes." ”
So Zhang Laodao reluctantly got up, and accompanied by the Taoist in Tsing Yi, he entered the hall to change his clothes. Not long after, Zhang Laodao, who was dressed in a purple robe, held a cup, accompanied by a Taoist in Tsing Yi, and toasted from table to table.
Zhao Ran was holding a plate, and in the plate were wine and wine glasses, which looked similar to a dog's legs, and he was accompanied by a fart in the back, and he didn't speak, just to rub his face.
After a circle of wine toasting, Zhao Ran continued to urge Zhang Laodao to "change clothes", Zhang Laodao appeared in a golden robe, and walked on the altar of the high platform, Sun Biyun introduced, this is the moment when the seventeen veins of the Wudang Hidden Immortal Sect "say goodbye to the ancestor".
The first one was the Nanyan Palace disciples of Sun Biyun's lineage, and they moved over the futon, sat on each of them, and hugged Zhang Laodao. Several folk painters collected from Wuchang and Xiangyang had already prepared and immediately fell to the ground to sketch.
After a cup of tea, several painters sketched a rough outline, and then replaced the next batch of Taihe Palace disciples.
These artists had a heavy task, and they had to discuss together after they went down to finalize each drawing.
The whole banquet passed in such a lively atmosphere, and it was not until the end of the day.
Zhao Ran didn't care about sending the teacher Jiang Tenghe back to Taihe Palace to rest, and said to him: "The teacher forgives his sins, he is really too busy." ”
Jiang Tenghe smiled and said, "You go and get busy." Today's congratulatory banquet is a bit interesting, and many seniors feel that it is very novel and festive, not only lively, but also very decent. Did you come up with the idea of letting the Great True Man and the disciples of the Seventeenth Vein say goodbye? ”
Zhao Ran hurriedly said: "The disciple is ashamed, in fact, it is to leave a thought for Wudang...... The teacher is gone, and the disciple is gone...... Alas, Wu Tianshi, today is really neglected...... Li Tianshi, you are a good old man, haha, you have won the award, how dare you ......"
When Zhao Ran was busy sending off guests, Zhang Laodao was comforting his descendant's great-grandson Tsing Yi Daoren: "I'm not dead, why are you crying?"
Tsing Yi burst into tears at the corners of his eyes, and sobbed: "I also know that this is a great joy, but today's banquet, I don't know why, I only feel full of sorrow under the joy, and I always feel very sad and panicked when I think of the separation between heaven and man from now on, and I can't listen to the teachings of your great-grandfather." ”
Zhang Laodao said with a smile: "I look forward to another one or two hundred years, when our ancestors and grandchildren will meet together in the heavenly court, and we will all be very happy." ”
After a pause, he said: "The disciples of all the veins of Wudang Mountain have promised to take care of you for a good life, so there is no need to panic. It's just that you've been alone in the cultivation world since then, and no one has spoken to you, so it's hard to get through. Ancestor I also thought, you are now thirty-eight years old, if you can't endure this suffering, you can also find a favorite double cultivation, but you have to enter the realm of refiners, although I don't pay attention to the precepts in this vein, but I also need to give birth to a baby in the Yuan Shen to break the body, otherwise the golden pill is unstable and hindered in the avenue. ”
Tsing Yi's face was flushed: "Ancestor, what are you talking about? The granddaughter cultivates the avenue of penance, and strives to go to heaven to meet the ancestor as soon as possible, where is there time to go to double cultivation!"
"Whatever you want. Zhang Laodao raised his eyes and swept it, and beckoned Zhao Ran over: "Zhiran!"
Zhao Ran ran over again: "Big real person?"
Zhang Laodao pointed to Tsing Yi and said: "I don't have to worry about the old way in my grandson's cultivation, but if there are any difficulties in daily life, you Louguan, especially you, help me take care of it more." ”
Zhao Ran nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, the matter of the Taoist people in Tsing Yi is the matter of my Louguan, and the matter of my Zhao Zhiran!
Zhang Laodao sighed: "I'm just afraid that she will be alone, and there is no one to talk to." Although there are many disciples in my Wudang group, they are all dedicated to hermitage, and they are not a good object to make friends, and besides, she is a female cultivator, and it is not good to always mix with a group of male cultivators. ”
Zhao Ran immediately said: "Don't worry, after I went to Junshan Cave Heaven, I prepared a farewell for the Taoist people in Tsing Yi, and I asked the love sect next to it, all of them are female cultivators, and in addition to practice, you can also exchange and discuss more." ”
Zhang Laodao nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's decided." ”
