"Blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan. ”

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Nanshan, is a section of the Qinling Mountains, starting from Baojimei County, Shaanxi Province in the west and reaching Lantian in Shaanxi Province in the east. Layers of mountains, its scenery is quiet, known as "the world's first blessed land". Zhongnan Mountain Qingyang Palace is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in the world.

Legend has it that when King Chukang, astronomer Yin Xi made grass for the building in Zhongnan Mountain, climbed high every day to observe the stars of the elephant, suddenly one day, the heart had a feeling, saw the purple gas coming from the east, then calculated the words of the stars, learned that there will be a saint to pass by here in the near future, Yin Xi bathed and changed clothes at the moment, burned incense to wait, and after a while, sure enough, I saw Lao Tzu traveling to the west, dressed in colorful cloud clothes, riding a green ox, Yin Xi was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Lao Tzu into the building, held the disciple ceremony, and asked for scriptures. Lao Tzu happily taught him more than 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching, and then drifted away. When Yin Xi heard this, he was fascinated, observing the stars night and night, and soon he was called by the way of heaven, and he flew away in the daytime, leaving behind the Qingyang Palace of Zhongnan Mountain to educate the world. Today, the lecture platform of this floor is an important symbol of the world's Taoism, every more than 100 years, it will gather the world's monks to gather here, lecture on the scriptures, exchange the experience of the Heavenly Dao, here, has also become a holy place in the mind of the cultivation world.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Chu Xunyu and his group of six people were standing on the mountain road, looking up at the sky, and found that there were many monks coming and going above the clouds, gathering on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, Shang Qianqi said: "It's strange, why are so many monks gathered here today?"

Guanyue said with a smile: "Chance is not as good as coincidence, today we came and happened to bump into the once-in-a-century exchange meeting between the scriptures and Taiwan, how can we miss this opportunity?"

Mei Wan looked up at the sky and asked, "I heard here that it was indeed the place where Lao Tzu preached and taught his profession, and it was okay to set up an exchange meeting, but I just saw that there are also many Buddhist cultivators, going up to the top of the mountain, what, can they also participate in the Taoist exchange meeting?"

Wangchen laughed and said: "How is the Buddha? How is the Tao? In the end, they are all about pursuing the supreme truth of heaven and earth, seeking liberation from heaven and earth, and attaining the supreme path of heaven's destiny. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Wan felt guilty when she heard this, and immediately gave a salute: "Thank you for the teachings of your predecessors." ”

Wangchen smiled and nodded: "In this case, let's take a look, do you want to go to the top of the mountain to have a look, is this a grand event in the world?"

Everyone was naturally willing to go, everyone only looked at Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan smiled and said: "I naturally want to take a look, how can I miss such a grand event?"

Chu Xunyu also said with a smile: "In this case, you don't have to walk anymore, just go directly to the top of the mountain, don't miss the time." With that, he took the lead and flew to a high place.

Everyone nodded, got up and flew one after another, and after a while, they came to the top of the mountain where there was a dense flow of people.

When everyone came to the platform on the top of the mountain, it was indeed a wonderful place. I can only see that this place is located in the highlands, the sea of clouds is born around, and when you look at it from a distance, it seems to be an island of fairyland rising out of thin air. All kinds of light flashed in the air, and there were monks who came here, and the monks who had already come to the pulpit sat on the ground at will, or meditated for minor repairs, or three or five people talked and laughed together, or several people sat here, bowing their heads and closing their eyes silently, making a contemplative state.

Everyone landed on a clearing in the middle, and slowly walked around to look, suddenly, Shang Qian pulled the corner of Mu Yuan's clothes and asked: "Senior Brother Mu Yuan, I don't think it's all about exchanging experiences here, why are there still some people who put some items in front of them, and they look like they are doing business." ”

Mu Yuan replied with a smile: "Since there are many people here, it is inevitable that some people want to barter in exchange for what they need, but since this is an exchange meeting here, the things here will not be bought and sold in general with ordinary trade, if you don't believe it, you can watch it carefully." ”

Shang Qian nodded obediently, followed everyone forward, looked around, and suddenly, saw a person in front of him, a middle-aged man, with a piano beside him, sitting alone in the crowd, with a half-spread bamboo slip in front of him, closing his eyes and resting. When Shang Qian walked by, he inadvertently saw that it was the music score depicted on it, so he happily walked over, squatted down to take a closer look, happily beckoned to Chu Xunyu, and shouted: "Brother Chu, come and see, there are ten paragraphs of chaos behind Guanglingsan." ”

When everyone heard this, they gathered around the past, and Chu Xunyu also said strangely: "It's really the ten paragraphs of Guangling's scattered chaos, which has been lost for a long time and is out of print, but I didn't expect to encounter it today." ”

Shang Qian smiled at the big man in front of him and asked, "This senior, how can I sell this score?"

Dahan only opened his eyes at this time, and unlike his appearance, this person's eyes revealed a delicate color, a scholarly atmosphere. Dahan looked at Shang Qian calmly and asked, "Little sister also knows 'Qin'?"

Shang Qian nodded, then took his guqin from his back and put it in front of him, and said, "Look, I'm not carrying it." ”

Dahan shook his head and said, "I don't necessarily know how to memorize the piano, the girl wants this score?"

Shang Qian hurriedly nodded: "Well, I've always wanted this song, and I hope that my predecessors will cut love." ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask you, if you answer, I'm telling you how to get it. ”

Shang Qian nodded sensibly: "Senior, please ask the question." ”

Dahan smiled slightly and asked, "Let me ask you, how long is this piano, how wide is it, and what is the body?"

Shang Qian replied: "The piano is about three feet six inches and five inches long, which corresponds to three hundred and sixty-five degrees of Zhoutian, six inches wide and two inches thick, the upper part is flat, the lower part is convex, it seems to be the shape of heaven and earth, and the body of the piano is made according to the phoenix body, with a head, neck, shoulders, waist, tail, and feet. ”

Dahan asked again: "How do the strings of this body look?"

Shang Qian replied again: "There is a hardwood in the highest part of the body, called 'Yue Mountain', and there are two sound grooves at the bottom of the piano, the big one is 'Dragon Pool', and the small one is 'Feng Marsh'. The side of Yue Mountain is inlaid with hardwood strips, called 'Chenglu', chiseled with seven eyes, can wear strings, and has 'piano stalks' under it, and can adjust the tune. The head has 'phoenix eyes' and 'guards', and the tail is engraved with 'dragon gums' strings. Seven strings from the dew, through the Yue Mountain, turn to the bottom of the piano, to the tail of the goose, can prove the seven stars. ”

"Qin has eight uniques, dare to ask why?"

Shang Qian said word by word: "Clear, strange, secluded, elegant, sad, strong, long, long." ”

Dahan smiled at this time and did not speak, closing his eyes and pondering. Mu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Since you have answered correctly, maybe you can change it?"

Dahan suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Qin, can you preach the Tao?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. At this time, all the people around who heard this stopped what they were doing, looked at this side, and even more, sat on the ground nearby, it turned out that today was the day of the Tao, and everyone saw that someone was arguing, so they quickly stopped other mundane affairs in their hands, and quickly watched it, hoping to hear it inspiring. At this time, Shang Qian looked around, what kind of people were there, male or female, high or low cultivation, they all looked at themselves, and couldn't help but blush a little on their faces, this big man too, the question is a little big, and his cultivation is not very high, how can he answer well?

When they were looking at each other, they only heard the bell ringing, and suddenly a person stood in front of him, Shang Qian looked up and saw that it was Chu Xunyu, Chu Xunyu replied calmly: "Proven." ”

Dahan asked tightly: "How to prove it?"

Chu Xunyu replied: "The piano is forbidden, and the sound outside the strings is also forbidden." ”

"How to prove the sound" Dahan chased after him.

"The purpose outside the taste, the rhyme outside the rhyme, the sound outside the string"

"Outside the strings?" the big man laughed without saying a word.

"Not bad. Chu Xunyu talked eloquently: "The sound of the qin, clear, strange, quiet, elegant, sad, strong, long, long, ordinary people only know that the qin is a musical instrument, can pronounce the sound, but do not know the sound of the guqin, quiet and elegant, can get this realm, must have a peaceful state of mind, when playing, and all things around the body to one, the body and the piano are one, in order to get the supreme wonderful sound." ”

"How can I get this sound?"

Chu Xunyu said with a smile: "Don't you hear about Daoyou, there is a story of Boya learning the piano in ancient times? When Boya learned the piano well, his teacher Cheng took him to Penglai Wonderland, leaving him alone, and he went alone, and then Boya was alone, looking at the island, the waves crashed on the stones, and the hollow birds soared, so he touched the heartstrings, stroked the qin and sang, and finally realized the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and achieved the supreme avenue. After a pause, he continued: "The piano can cultivate nature, the sound can cultivate the mind, and the Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance. In a trance, there is an image, and in a trance, there is an object. There is essence in it, and its essence is very true, and there is faith in it. ”

Dahan frowned and asked: "The sound of the piano is beautiful, and the Taoist friends are very experienced, but the way of heaven is vast, and the sound is not to be found." ”

Chu Xunyu waved his hand and said: "The way of heaven is indeed difficult to find, but the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things. This harp is also one of all things. ”

Dahan shook his head and said: "The way of heaven is unpredictable, is this a qin to prove the Tao?"

Chu Xunyu said suspiciously: "Could it be that Daoist friends have doubts about their own Dao?"

The big man sighed and was silent. At this time, Chu Xunyu said with relief: "The avenue is fifty, the evolution is forty-nine, and the final one, whether it is the piano or others, after all, the ultimate goal is to get the supreme avenue, as long as the heart is strong, although there is a bottleneck, but in the end it will be able to get the wish." ”

Dahan said gloomily: "This is reasonable, but to enter the Tao with the qin, after all, it is inseparable from a qin word, there must be a qin by your side, when can you transcend the strings and taste the supreme wonderful sound?"

"This ......" Chu Xunyu hesitated.

At this time, Mu Yuan beside him chanted a Buddha name "Amitabha Buddha", took a step forward, and said with a righteous expression: "Haven't you heard that the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once said, 'The big sound is a song by itself, but it plays the piano without strings'?

As soon as Mu Yuan's words came out, everyone in the surrounding audience bowed their heads and pondered, speechless for a long time. or contemplative, or have a comprehension or one or two surprises.

"Da Yin Xi Sheng, no sound is sound?" Dahan was also muttering to himself when he heard the words. After a while, suddenly Dahan stood up, picked up the pair of guqin beside him and slammed it, this peerless piano turned into powder, Dahan laughed, and said loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is wonderful." Suddenly, I saw five clear qi rising above his head, breaking through the clouds, and the aura between heaven and earth was surging, surrounding him, and he couldn't distinguish his figure. Five Qi Dynasty Yuan?

When the aura dissipated, I saw a handsome scholar, dressed in brocade, standing in front of everyone, smiling, and said to Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan: "Thank you two, it's really wonderful." ”

Everyone only reacted at this time, just now this person was a great supernatural person in the distraction period, and he had just entered the merger period, and he deliberately transformed his own cultivation, this is his true face. The handsome scholar smiled at Wangchen and said: "Wangchen Daoist, should be on the right path, although it is a happy event, but the catastrophe is coming, I want to go back to prepare one or two, not for a long time, after he crosses the catastrophe, our old friends will reunite." ”

Wangchen smiled and nodded: "Daoyou are deeply blessed, which is really a great blessing." ”

This handsome scholar took the bamboo slips on the ground and said to Shang Qian: "Little sister has exquisite piano skills, this is the follow-up chaos of Guangling, there are only five paragraphs, and I can't do anything else. Thank you, everyone. With that, he arched his hand to everyone, and his figure flashed, disappearing between heaven and earth, without the slightest trace. walked away in the surprised and envious eyes of everyone.

At this time, Chu Xunyu and everyone suddenly remembered, and looked back at Wangchen together: "Could it be that the predecessors have already recognized this person, so they don't break it?"

Wangchen nodded and smiled: "But it's my old friend, and he just talked about it, so he didn't break it." ”

Mu Yuan asked, "Who is that senior?"

"Ranqu Sect, Master Wuyin. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them was shocked and secretly discussed. It turns out that this chaotic sect is one of the four sects of the four sects of the demon road, it is said that the whole faction is up and down, and the sound enters the Tao, which can be thousands of miles away, killing people invisibly, making people unguardable, all dynasties, there are great supernatural people who died inexplicably in their hands, it is really a first-class demon sect. But then again, this Venerable Master of Dance is also an outlier, according to rumors, this Venerable Master of Dance was originally born in the right way, but he was obsessed with the qin, and he never cared about what was right and demonic, and the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Wangchen didn't care, so he told the story of his acquaintance with the Venerable Master Wuyin: It is said that back then, during the war between the two dynasties, the era of the end of the day, the first battle of Quzhou, the undefeated general Chang Yuchun led his troops to attack Quzhou, but he did not expect that the Quzhou defender was a famous general of the Yuan Dynasty , played the frightened pipa in one hand, and lost more than 20,000 Ming troops on the spot. Quzhou is the last military fortress in Zhejiang, often encountered a long time in the spring can not be attacked, so I had to go to Tianji Pavilion with Liu Bowen to inquire for help, Wangchen looked at the situation back then, and was puzzled, and could not break this formation. In desperation, I had to go to the Ranqu Sect with Zhu Yuanzhang again and ask the music master to come forward. At that time, a total of five elders of the Ranqu Sect became famous in the world, and called the "Five Idiots of Sound", but the Son of Heaven was invited by the Mandate of Heaven, so the Ranqu Sect had no choice but to send the "Qin Idiot" Wuyin Master and the "Xiao Idiot" Ghost Xiao Old Woman to go down the mountain to face the enemy.

On the day of the battle, the old woman of Ghost Xiao was at the east gate of Quzhou, playing a song "Pan Canglang" to distract Boyan Buhua's attention, while the Venerable Master Wuyin was at the west gate, sitting on the ground, a song of "Wuye Dancing Autumn Wind", taking advantage of her unpreparedness on the spot, thousands of miles away, took down the heads of eleven Yuanmeng archmages, as well as more than 3,000 mortal Yuan soldiers, and broke this formation. Seeing this, Chang Yuchun immediately waved the three armies to attack and kill the past, achieved a great victory in Quzhou, and recovered the whole province of Zhejiang in one fell swoop. And when the Venerable Master Wuyin made a move, he killed too much, and he also won a reputation on the rivers and lakes as "a song of liver and intestines is broken, and three thousand heads fall". Therefore, Wangchen and the Venerable Master Wuyin also became acquainted.

Hearing this, everyone was relieved, I see. At this time, Wangchen said with a smile: "Mu Yuan Daoyou is also a deep blessing, although he is a Buddha cultivator, different sects, but he has a deep understanding of the mandate of heaven. Hearing this, the surrounding monks present thanked Mu Yuan one after another, and Mu Yuan himself was overwhelmed, and suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd: "For the monk's statement, I dare not agree with it......
