Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dust with Light
Entering a sect of the Heavenly Master Dao, Mao Zheng was invited into a room where he received guests, and he usually did not come with Mao Zheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but let Liu Yushi accompany Mao Zheng to talk first, so as to lift the previous mustard first. With the master's admonition, Liu Yushi treated Mao Zheng very politely, and answered Mao Zheng's questions well. It turned out that Liu Yushi and Mao Renzhuo fought for a while that day, and Mao Renzhuo tried his best to escape. Mao Zheng was relieved when he heard that Mao Renzhuo had no accident, but when he thought that he had come to Bai and did not find out about Mao Renzhuo, he was also a little disappointed. Just as Mao Zheng and Liu Yushi were talking, Bingchang walked over to Mao Zheng with another elderly Taoist.
"Senior Brother Bingde, when I look at that kid's face, it seems that a great calamity is coming, but it seems that there is a great opportunity in it. I really can't see through it, so I want to ask my brother to help me take a look, you must know that my brother is unmatched in terms of appearance. Senior brother, I thought that he could be admitted to the Jinshi, and when he was not an ordinary character, he would deliberately look for a junior brother. Bingchang said.
"'Misfortune and blessing are relied on, and blessing and misfortune are lurking' Misfortune and fortune are one, senior brother, these truths should be better than me. Seeing the appearance is just a small technique, and knowing the avenue is the fundamental. Senior brother's understanding of the Great Dao is deeper than mine, how can there be anything that he doesn't understand?" Bingde replied.
"It's different, it's really different. Senior brother, after you have seen it, you will know. Bingchang shook his head and said.
Mao Zheng saw that Bingchang brought another Taoist over, so he got up and saluted. Bingchang and Mao Zheng introduced Bingde and said a few words casually. But after Bingde saw Mao Zheng, he was greatly surprised, and after staring carefully, he only sat in his seat and was silent. After a long while, I heard him open his mouth and say: "You are a Jinshi, you must have read the Analects, then you must know that Chu Mad sighed." ”
Mao Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Of course I know this, Jieyu was also a hermit at that time, comparing the master to a phoenix, lamenting the misfortune of the master, and persuading the master to let go of everything and pursue leisure. ”
"Yes, yes, isn't your understanding not bad? I see that there is a hardship in your face, and I want to ask you, Chen Cai's misfortune, the sorrow of cutting down trees, is it comfortable? If it is not comfortable, why not let go of everything and be free for nine days? The phoenix should be flying in the sky, why should Xiang always be like a pheasant, looking for insects in the mound to eat? The unicorn should be crisscrossing the road of heaven, why should it be like a horse, let people ride and let others whip it? You have things that you can't let go, I can see it, but you still have to learn to let go of it. Bingde persuaded.
"If I can easily let go, why would I end up like this? How many times have I tried to persuade myself to let go of everything, but I can't swallow the stuffy breath in my chest. Mao Zheng said with a sad face, Bingde's words can be said to have touched his heart.
"Oh, you might as well tell me something. My senior brother and I have been cultivating in Qingcheng Mountain for many years, although we dare not say that we are coveting the way of heaven, but we also have a little understanding. If you say it, maybe my brother and I can help you, maybe too. Bingde saw Mao Zheng's face showing pain, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he spoke.
Mao Zheng has too many things in his heart, and no one has ever confided in him, so he told Bingde all the hardships he has suffered in the past few years.
Bingde listened to Mao Zheng's words, and was silent for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "You are indeed a strange person, and I have never met another person like you before. In fact, getting rid of all dirt, detachment and external things, is the best choice. This Qingcheng Mountain has sufficient aura, and it can be regarded as soaring in the sky if you can practice immortality here and realize the avenue. But looking at your appearance, it won't be accepted. In fact, there is another way, that is, to be nostalgic for the world, and not to be contaminated with the world. Keep my heart pure, and use my cleanliness to educate the ignorant. But it's too hard, and if you're not careful, you'll fall. ”
"Did the Taoist say that it is the same as the light? Light is the noblest thing, and dust is the lowest thing. Nobility and lowliness are incompatible, but as long as they can be the same as the light, they can maintain their own nobility and illuminate all things. It's a wonderful state. Mao Zheng said.
"You understand it well, it's a wonderful realm. But there are very few people who can do it. Either they are polluted by filth and go to depravity, or they are trapped by villains and miserable all their lives. This realm is easier said than done. There are only a handful of those who have become holy, and there are many people who have fallen into the crooked ways of demons. This is a great opportunity, but it is also a great disaster. If possible, it's better not to choose this path. After hearing this, Bingde closed his eyes and said slowly.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't have gone down this path. Mao Zheng couldn't help but shed tears.
"I know that life is helpless, and sometimes there are not so many choices. Bingde said lightly, and couldn't help patting Mao Zheng's back.
After saying some other things, Bingde took his leave. Before leaving, he told Mao Zheng that there were many books in the Heavenly Master Dao Sect, and if Mao Zheng needed it, he could read them at will.
Just as Bingde left the house and wanted to return to his residence, Bingchang chased him out and hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, have you seen any clues? Do you say that we should win him over? I see that my junior brother appreciates him very much, do you want to persuade him to belong to my Heavenly Master's Dao?"
"Senior brother, although he is very sad, his attitude is also very resolute, and he will not enter our door. However, no matter whether he becomes a great sage and wise person in the future, or a great traitor, as long as he does not become an enemy of our Heavenly Master Dao, there is no problem. Treat each other with courtesy, and just move with affection. Bingde replied.
"The junior brother is very accurate in looking at people, since the junior brother has said so, then I already know what to do. After all, he is a person with a meritorious reputation, befriend him, if he can soar in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless to our sect. Bingchang said.
"Hehe, Senior Brother is also right to consider the sect. However, I haven't understood some of the avenues yet, and now I want to go back and think about it, and if there is nothing else, I will go back first. After Bingde finished speaking, he left without waiting for Bingchang to answer.
Bingchang knew that he, a junior brother, was obsessed with the Great Dao and had never cared about fighting for power and profit, so he didn't say anything. However, he has always been concerned about things outside the sect, and there are some things that he doesn't care about.
