Chapter 35: Seeking the Way
Yang Fan smiled and responded, then took out a scripture scroll and said: "Yesterday, I accidentally turned to this Beidou Sutra, which has many incomprehensible words, and I hope that the Taoist will explain it." ”
Zhao Ran took it and took a look, it was the "Taishang Xuanling Beidou Natal Life Extension Sutra", this scripture is the Laojun doppelganger in the lower realm, to the capital for the ancestor Zhang Daoling to preach the scriptures, so that the world knows the Beidou mysteries, visit the Beidou to eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes, and prolong life.
This scripture is the basic course of the Daomen Zhaijiao ritual, so there shouldn't be anything difficult to understand, right? Zhao Ran then asked, "I don't know where there are any difficulties?"
Yang Fan said: "In the scriptures, the Great Sage Beidou Seven Yuan Jun can solve the three calamities, the four evils, the five elements, the six evils, the seven injuries, the eight tribulations, the nine stars, etc., etc., the little monk doesn't know, what do these calamities mean?"
Zhao Ran asked: "Daoist friends look at this scripture, haven't you read the annotated version?"
Yang Fan said with a bitter face: "This scripture, I have no notebook in the Bodhi Hall, the little monk has read many chapters of the Supreme Yellow Lent Ceremony, and he is dizzy and dizzy, and he can't understand the essentials, so he has no choice but to come to ask for advice." ”
Zhao Ran had already deeply understood this when he first entered Wuji Academy ten years ago, so he opened the scriptures, pointed to the words on them, and explained them one by one with a smile: "The so-called three disasters, lightning strikes are natural disasters, fire is earth disasters, and drowning is water disasters, and the above are the three disasters." The so-called four evils, that is, the four seasons of heaven and earth, are prone to fever, malaria in summer, dysentery in autumn, and cough and asthma in winter......"
Yang Fan nodded, listened carefully, and interjected and asked, "Is the Five Elements E's Misfortune gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, how to explain it, or is it related to the human body?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "That's what it means, the five organs in the body correspond to the five elements, and the five organs are out of tune for the five elements." ”
"The six evils should mean the six impurities, right? Are the seven wounds joyful, angry, sad, happy, loved, evil, and excessive?"
"Daoyou is right. ”
"In this way, in fact, many of them are connected to my Buddhism. ”
"The truth of this world points to the final time, it was originally the same, the so-called thousand avenues, I choose one of them, Buddhism and Taoism learn from each other, there is nothing to blame. ”
"What about the Eight Tribulations and the Nine Stars?"
"The eight tribulations are the eight kinds of evil diseases that are inescapable in life - paralysis, epilepsy, rheumatism, and leprosy; the nine stars are the nine stars in the sky, which can affect people's good fortune and misfortune, and there are nine tricks in the human body, and if the nine tricks are not controlled, they will give birth to **, indulgence, greed and hatred......"
Zhao Ran gave a simple explanation item by item, and after the explanation, Yang Fan sighed: "The Big Dipper Seven Yuan Jun is really worthy of the respect of the Great Sage, and he has such ability...... Dao Chief, can you tell me about this Big Dipper Seven Yuan Jun?"
Faced with the curiosity of the little monk Yangfan, Zhao Ran patiently answered: "The Big Dipper Seven Yuan Jun is the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, the Giant Gate Star Monarch, the Lu Cun Star Monarch, the Wenqu Star Monarch, the Lian Zhen Star Monarch, the Wuqu Star Monarch, and the Broken Army Yuan Jun. According to the scriptures, they were born to the King of Zhou and the Doumu Yuanjun, who was born of the Lady Ziguang, and the brothers of the Seven True Monarchs were the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Ziwei......"
“...... For example, it can judge the period of retribution of good and evil in the world, and it is in vain to rule the underworld......
After speaking, the little monk Yangfan's eyes were full of yearning, and he muttered: "Daomen, it's really interesting......
During the discussion, the monk sent by the Golden Needle Hall of Tianlong Academy to accompany him also arrived, but it was a monk that Zhao Ran had never seen before, and his legal name was "True Appearance".
The monk is about forty years old, with a pair of eagle eyes, a tall and straight nose, and a bit of the folk customs of the Western Regions.
Yang Fan saw it and asked, "Why is Senior Brother Benxiang here?"
Ben Xiang nodded and said, "Senior Brother Yang Fan is also here, I was ordered by the elder to come to supervise the envoy's trip." ”
As soon as the word "supervision" came out, the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. The people who supervise Zhao Ran's travel on weekdays are basically Mingjue and sexually true, and there are occasional substitutions, and the people who come are also very polite, only saying "accompanying", and saying "supervising travel" in person, which is very unpleasant, and I don't know if this prime minister can't speak, or is it so unpolite?
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Senior brother said that he laughed, Daoist Zhao is a distinguished guest of my Buddhism, profound Taoism, and kindness, where can I talk about supervision? Where is Daochang going?"
Zhao Ran snorted and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to go to the Jinbo Club to meet my friends." ”
Yang Fan asked: "Are you going to see the Cheng owner?" The little monk of the Jinbo Club has never been there, so it is better to let the little monk accompany him, okay?"
Ben Xiang frowned and said, "What is Senior Brother Yang Fan doing here?"
"I read a few Taoist scriptures, and I was puzzled, so I came to ask for advice. ”
"Senior brother, don't blame Senior Brother for reminding you, it's better to watch less of those Daomen's nonsense. Go back quickly, I'm doing business, not joking. ”
"Senior brother, this is what I need for the duties of Bodhi Hall, and Senior Brother has thought too much. If you don't want to take me, I'll go with the Taoist chief myself, and you can even supervise it with me. I don't mind, junior brother. ”
Benxiang snorted coldly, sent out a flying talisman, and after a while, a white light suddenly came, and he grabbed it in his hand, and when he looked at it intently, his face was very bad, and he didn't say much, shook his monk's robe, and went out first.
Coming to the Jinbo Club again, Cheng An, Gao Yanei and others greeted him from inside, and Zhao Ran said: "I'm bored in the official post, I'm here to drink tea with you." By the way, this is Master Yangfan, and I can talk to him, this is the senior monk who is the overseer of the Golden Needle Hall, you have to be well received, and you must not offend him. ”
Cheng An smiled, didn't speak, Gao Yanei said: "It turned out to be the master of the original phase, and he came here, and he missed the distance, and he hoped to forgive his sins!"
Benxiang had a straight face, didn't say a word, and entered with Zhao Ran.
Yang Fan asked, "Senior Brother Benxiang, it turns out that you often come to the Jinbo Club for recreation?"
Benxiang shouted: "Nonsense!"
Gao Yanei observed his words and expressions, and explained to Yang Fan with a smile: "Master Benxiang doesn't come much, and he doesn't come for fun, I remember coming twice, both to arrest the owner." ”
Everyone looked for a room in the teahouse, chatting while listening to music, and when talking about the leisure of the market, the prime minister did not interrupt, once it was said that the recent battles in the court and commented on the rights and wrongs of a certain magnate, the prime minister immediately stopped it, which made everyone very unhappy.
The original appearance doesn't care so much, his eyes only stare at Zhao Ran's every move, Zhao Ran sometimes appreciates the new antiques and curiosities in the clubhouse, and the original appearance has to be taken over and examined again.
Zhao Ran sneered in his heart, and simply got up: "Chengdongjia, where can I go to the toilet?"
Cheng An said: "Dao Chief, please come with me." ”
Zhao Ran nodded and said to the prime minister: "Please also ask the master to go to supervise together." ”
Benxiang continued to get up with a straight face and followed, Yang Fan said behind him: "It's too much!" He didn't pretend to hear it.
Zhao Ran entered the thatched house, came out again after Gong, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Master, please." ”
Benxiang added a talisman to detect mana fluctuations in the same place to prevent Zhao Ran and Cheng An from communicating with mana, and he went into the toilet to take a quick look, and muttered a mantra mantra in his mouth, and a Buddha light crossed in the toilet, and he saw that there was no abnormality, and quickly turned around.
As everyone knows, Zhao Ran behind him has already completed the delivery of the small note.
