Chapter 12 The Ancient Ancients
Time flies, and memories always fade away in the wind.
Chen Jin stepped into the seventh day of meditation, and the night was the night of the quarter moon.
Chen Jin's second night of travel.
In the past seven days, Chen Jin's life has been very ordinary, just like usual, eating and sleeping at work and work, but the place to eat has become Wangjia Restaurant.
has changed from a rich man to a real rich man, and he has also joined the chat in the chat group, and he often talks with Donghai Xiaolong, which can be regarded as a little relationship.
In terms of progress in cultivation, Chen Jin himself feels clearly, recently he has bought a bunch of Taoist books, as well as the philosophical reflections of ancient thinkers, especially the books of celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, these books are plausible to him, and it is better to write the Tao Te Ching a few times more often, and it is very beneficial for him to think about every word of Gengxin Jinqi in his mind.
In addition, his sister Chen Lan was still shouting that she was going to Mount Emei, and then Chen Jin told her parents directly, and then Chen Lan was reprimanded, and preached, after that, she was much more honest, Chen Jin knew that she would never give up, and she also had her own private money, but her ID card had been confiscated by Chen's father and Chen's mother, so she had money and cold dressing.
After thinking about it a lot, Chen Jin saw that the black book hanging in front of his eyes suddenly turned another page.
I saw these lines appear on this new page: There is the greatness of heaven and earth, so I feel that all things are small, and there are all things small, so I feel that heaven and earth are big.
Chen Jin has read so many ancient books, and naturally sees the source of this sentence at a glance, which is from the inner chapter of Ge Hong, a Taoist master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
As soon as the thought moved, Chen Jin felt like the world was spinning, as if his head was stuck in a drum washing machine.
Dizzy, Chen Jin appeared in a quaint earthen temple.
This temple is made of loess stacked on all sides, the roof is thatched, and the floor under the buttocks is also a potholed mud floor, which reminds Chen Jin of his hometown house, which has a history of more than 100 years, in which the ground is not covered with anything, and it looks like it is potholed.
And the reason why this temple was judged by Chen Jin to be a temple is naturally that there is a portrait of Taoist Sanqing hanging on the wall opposite Chen Jin.
It seems that this temple is really poor, and it can't even afford the statue of the ancestor of Sanqing.
Chen Jin got up slowly, and then felt that the clothes on his body did not seem to be modern clothes, but a tattered robe, as for how Chen Jin determined that it was a Taoist robe, it was mainly due to those modern film and television dramas, and Chen Jin recently watched a lot of TV columns of Taoist health lectures, and saw a lot of Taoist robes, so he made this judgment.
But this robe is really shabby.
There were many holes on it, some of which were burned by fireworks, some were torn, and some were eaten by insects.
In addition, Chen Jin felt very cool all over his body, and then he felt that he was not wearing anything in the robe, it was cool and cool, and when he lowered his head, he could directly see his green dragon through the loose robe......
Then Chen Jin raised his hand and touched his face.
"It's not my face, it's a soul piercing this time?" Chen Jin thought to himself.
Because of the greatly increased relationship in his memory, Chen Jin also remembered his face deeply, every edge and corner of his face, and the roughness of his skin, he remembered it deeply, so the moment he touched it, he judged that this was not his own face, this was a picture that he was completely unfamiliar with.
"Go back and see what's going on on the camera. ”
Before Chen Jin was ready to cross this time, he placed a camera on his desk to shoot the situation when he crossed.
Just as Chen Jin was thinking, he suddenly felt a large number of pictures welling up in his mind.
These images are all first-person perspectives, telling the story of a young Taoist priest's half-life.
And Chen Jin also knew where he was now.
His child is still in Xiahu County, but it is not the modern Xiahu County, but the ancient Xiahu County.
This Xiahu County is not called Xiahu County at this time, but Wenma County.
Chen Jin has also read a lot of history books, and knows that this Wenma County was established in the Western Jin Dynasty, and was withdrawn in Yuanfeng County during the Sui Dynasty, so he probably guessed that he is now between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Then I learned in my memory that in the early years of Xianhe, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had been founded for many years, and the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time was Sima Yan, a calligrapher, and of course his emperor was okay.
In fact, for the history at this time, Chen Jin mainly paid attention to those cultivators, such as Ge Hong and Zheng Yin, after all, Chen Jin is now a practitioner, not a historian.
After recalling the world framework, Chen Jin began to recall the origin of this body.
He also doesn't have any big origins, this body's real name is Wang Goudan, it is not an orphan wanderer, his family is a local Zhuyou wizard, specializing in those exorcisms, Wang Goudan is the third son of the family, not qualified to inherit the family's business, and when Goudan was eleven years old, Goudan's uncle Wang Erhu happened to return from a study tour in the Central Plains, Wang Erhu is also not qualified to learn the family tradition of Zhuyou witchcraft, so he went to the Central Plains to learn Taoist methods, and now he has returned from learning, ready to practice and spread Taoism.
Because Wang Erhu did not marry a wife and have children, his father passed on the ignorant dog egg to him, and by the way, he learned Taoism, inherited his Taoism, and opened another vein for the Wang family.
The idea is very beautiful, but Wang Erhu actually didn't learn any serious spells, but he learned some tricks, which are just some magic tricks in modern times, in fact, he just can't get along in the Central Plains, so he wants to go back to his hometown, come to return to his hometown, and then come to a foreign monk to chant scriptures and earn some money for the elderly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, his brother directly passed on a son to inherit the Taoist lineage.
However, he still built a Taoist temple and put away his apprentices.
Wang Erhu has accepted a total of thirteen apprentices, plus Wang Goudan, which is fourteen, and there are also so-called outer disciples, who all collect money.
Wang Erhu had the idea of making money, so he didn't act as high as a true Taoist, and directly regarded it as a business, an apprentice would receive 100 yuan, and an outer disciple would receive 50 yuan.
I don't know if it was because the disciples received too much, and because of the fate of heaven that the Fa could not be passed on personally, Wang Erhu died when Wang Goudan was twenty years old, at the age of forty-six.
Although he died at the age of forty-six, he was still worshipped as an immortal, because the life expectancy of the locals is now about forty years old.
After that, Wang Erhu's apprentices scattered one by one and left the Taoist temple, leaving only Wang Goudan, the son who had passed over, and Wang Goudan of the Wang family couldn't go back, and it was impossible for his brother to let him go back, after all, there was still a bloody family property competition.
As for why Wang Goudan is living so bleakly now, the reason is all up to him, he is clumsy, and he has not learned Wang Erhu's tricks for nine years, but his juniors and disciples have learned one by one.
Therefore, Wang Erhu asked Wang Goudan to read the Taoist scriptures well, and he could bluff people with his mouth in the future, and then it turned out that the Taoist scriptures were too orthodox, and he couldn't bluff people in this countryside, and the villagers couldn't understand them.
"I'm just passing by in a hurry, and you're already old, so I can't help you. Chen Jin sighed.
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief......"
Suddenly, a call came from outside the temple.
