Chapter 344: Hangu Guan Laozi Goes West
Seeing that Confucius became enlightened, great power, Lao Dan's eyes couldn't help flashing a glimmer of light, and there was a good seedling under the seat of the junior disciple who had no return in the secret way, and it seemed that it was time for Xuandu to go to this world.
I don't say what Lao Dan thinks in his heart, but he says that Lao Dan was appointed to guard the history of Zhou's Tibetan room, and he returned home several times to save his relatives, and wanted to persuade his mother to go to Zhou with him; his mother lived in Chen Guoxiangyi for a long time, and she was familiar with people, and she was unwilling to move far away.
One day, Lao Dan suddenly got the news of his family, saying that his mother was critically ill, so he reported to the Son of Heaven, and when he returned home, his mother had passed away
Facing a pile of loess on the vast land, thinking about the soul of his mother under the nine springs, recalling his mother's kind appearance and nurturing grace, the old man was grief-stricken, slept and ate, sat on the ground, meditated, and suddenly realized that he was stupid;
The generals and maids all felt strange, and when they woke up, they asked why.
The old man replied, " Born in the world, there is affection, wisdom and affection, so people are harmonious and warm to each other; there is wisdom, so the wise and sensible and the director is not confused, the wisdom is attached; the wise, the lord of love is also wise with feelings, then people are mediocre and things are reversed; with wisdom to unify feelings, then people are intelligent and things are in harmony with the mother's life, grace is as heavy as the mountain, and the mother is gone, the feelings of the deaf are difficult to break, and the common feelings of people are also difficult to break and not to be unified, then the chaos, so the sorrow and not want to live today sit upright and ponder, suddenly wisdom comes, with wisdom to unify feelings, so the feelings can be controlled and things can be adjusted and the feelings can be controlled, things can be reasoned, so the stomach is hungry and hungry, the body is tired and sleepyγ β
But he understood his own way, but he was humane and causal, and he raised the green cow alone and came to the Hangu Pass.
But said that Lao Tzu went west, how did the Guigu Dao people not know, seeing Lao Tzu but humane cause and effect, went straight to Hangu Pass, Guigu Dao people knew that this Lao Tzu was going to turn Hu into a Buddha, and the Buddha was lucky, and immediately ordered Kong Xuan to be a winged immortal, and then went straight to the world.
Walk to the front of Hangu Pass, Guigu Taoist people have a discerning eye, the golden light flows, the direction of the earth's veins, choose a pine and cypress, the sleeve robe is lightly brushed, thousands of feet high, the pure Yao grass with its own fragrance under the lush pine and cypress forms a rattan bed, then sit on it, meditate, and wait for the old man to come!
After the night, the morning star rises, the morning sun is not visible, its light has been seen, the red sun rises, the white fish turns its belly, and the light shines!
Suddenly, a vast river of purple qi rose in the sky, purple qi came from the east, mighty, luxurious, panicked, strange fragrance attacked, and a cloud of Xuanhuang came.
came, the Guigu Daoist immediately stood up, lowered the clouds, only to see the front, with the old man, riding a bull slowly, it was the person who taught Lao Tzu to incarnate Lao Dan is also, immediately, the Guigu Daoist stepped forward and said: "Senior brother please." β
Seeing the Guigu Daoist who appeared, Lao Dan was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this Guigu Daoist to be able to calculate his own way, but thinking that the deduction technique of the Daoist without return was still above Fuxi, although Lao Dan was surprised in his heart, he was not too frightened, and when he saw this, he also returned the salute and said: "Senior brother is polite, I don't know why junior brother came?"
"Why did the senior brother come, what did the poor Dao come, it is also why, Duobao is my Xuanmen disciple in the end, now the senior brother wants him to share the luck of the Buddha, the poor Dao, who is the uncle, should also come and send a send, and please don't be strange to the senior brother. Guigu Daoren smiled.
"It's okay, since the junior brother has a heart, you and I will go together. When the old man heard this, he said, and after that, one of them rode a bull and the other rode a deer, and slowly came to Nahan Valley Pass.
It is said that Yin Xi, an official at Hangu Pass, was observant of astronomy when he was young, loved to read ancient books, and had profound cultivation.
One night, gazing at the starry sky above the independent building, I suddenly saw the purple clouds in the east gathering, which were 30,000 miles long, shaped like a flying dragon, rolling from east to west, and said to myself: "The purple gas comes from the east for 30,000 miles, the saint travels west through here, and the green ox slowly carries the old man, hiding the form and mixing the vitality." β
So he sent people to sweep the road for forty miles, and burned incense in the middle of the road to welcome the saints.
On the afternoon of July 12th, the sunset is slanting in the west, the light is east, Yin Xi is about to go down to check, suddenly see an old man in the sparse pedestrians under the pass, riding a green ox upside down, the old man's white hair is like snow, his eyebrows are hanging sideburns, his ears are hanging down his shoulders, his beard is hanging down his knees, his face is plain robe, simple and clean, there is an old man behind him, riding a deer to come, holding a bamboo cane, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.
Seeing this, Yin Xi was slightly stunned, for some reason there was a person who did not exist in the hexagram, but Yin Xi didn't think too much, only said that he was not good at arithmetic, and there were mistakes and omissions, and he was excited, three steps and two steps, ran forward, knelt in front of the green ox and bowed: "Yin Xi knocks on the saint." β
Lao Tzu saw that the person who bowed to the person had a square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows, and a nose, majestic but not cold, soft and not flattering, and knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he deliberately tried to say: "Guan Ling Lord bows to the poor old man, and the old man does not dare to bear the extraordinary gift, I don't know what to see?"
Yin Xi said: "Old man, the sage also wants to stay in the house to indicate the path of cultivation."
Lao Tzu said: "What is the sacredness of the old man, who is so loved by you? ashamed and ashamed, ashamed to kill the old man?"
Yin Xi said: "Yin Xi is not talented; good observation of astronomy slightly knows the changes to see the purple gas coming from the east, knowing that there is a saint going west, seeing the purple gas is vast, rolling like a dragon, its length of 30,000 miles knows that the one who comes is the most holy and supreme, not the usual saint;
After hearing this, Lao Tzu laughed: "The old man who has won the award has already heard your name, and he has come to pay a visit."
Yin Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed.
Lao Tzu immediately pointed to the Guigu Taoist and said: "This is the manifestation of my junior brother's incarnation of the unreturned saint, you must not be lazy." β
Yin Xi was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect to see the two saints today, and hurriedly bowed deeply to the Guigu Daoist, "The disciple is mortal with the naked eye, he doesn't know the true God, he neglected the saint, and asked the saint to forgive his sins." β
Seeing this, the Daoist of Guigu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, you are just a mortal in the flesh, but you can recognize the luck of the saint, it can be seen that it is extraordinary, senior brother, I see that this person is extraordinary, and it is secretly in line with your Taoist system, if the senior brother does not give up, he can be included in the door and pass on a Taoist system." β
Hearing this, Lao Dan couldn't help but glance at the Guigu Daoist, he already had the idea of accepting apprentices, but the Guigu Daoist took the first step to speak, but let himself owe a small amount of cause and effect, is this a casual remark, or is there another calculation?
Yin Xi was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down, "Disciple Yin Xi, I have admired the words of the saint for a long time, and I also ask the saint to have mercy and include the disciples, so that the disciples can listen to the teachings of the saint." β
