Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xuan Miaofa, Vulna Bald Donkey
Zhang Xuanqing listened to the whispers of the crowd, and his face was strange: The monk who told the story was locked up? Do you still think that the Buddhist sect is hiding dirt and dirt, and it is broken from the bottom? It's really ...... Happy, smell, happy, see!
On the contrary, the Master of Mercy and Grace, who walked downstairs, had a bad face and coughed lightly, reminding the muttering crowd that he was still there. After the voice was suppressed a little, he walked to Zhang Xuanqing again, folded his hands, sang the Buddha's horn, and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is merciful, and he is the abbot of Suiyuan Temple, and I have seen this Taoist." ”
"Well said, well said. Zhang Xuanqing knew that the other party was not good, so he waved his hand casually: "What is the matter with the great monk looking for the poor?"
In the Tang Dynasty, the word "monk" was not called casually, the original meaning of monk was "teacher", and only those who had certain qualifications to be able to be a teacher could be called a monk, strictly speaking, Zhang Xuanqing called it politely. However, others don't know that Zhang Xuanqing came from a later generation, and the word monk is no different from calling a bald donkey.
Master Ci'en's face remained unchanged, and he had a bit of "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with himself", and his eyes were slightly lowered and said: "But there is nothing important, but the day before yesterday, I heard that the Taoist chief preached the ancient things in public in this drunken incense building. ”
"That's it......" Zhang Xuanqing pulled a long voice, and suddenly smiled: "The great monk doesn't have to be so polite, so let's do it, I'm tired of the poor road today, and when the poor road is free one day, I will go to Suiyuan Temple to preach in person." "He's a complete move, advancing and retreating.
Compared with the previous two big men, this old monk is not easy to fool. Besides, Zhang Xuanqing knows his own family affairs, and the things he talked about are completely full of loopholes, and it is just a matter of deceiving laymen, if he is a person who deeply studies the classics of Buddhism and Taoism, no one will believe it, unless he is extremely convinced, like Sun Simiao.
The reason why he said that he personally went to Suiyuan Temple to preach was to tell the old monk not to have anything to do, otherwise he would be forced to be anxious, and he really ran to the door of Suiyuan Temple to tell the story, and others may not be able to distinguish the authenticity.
Even if he distinguishes it, he is still very confident in the books he is told, and even if he listens to and plays, there are many people who love to listen to them.
Think about a monk temple in Suiyuan Temple, he is a Taoist priest who goes to the door to give lectures, attracting a large group of listeners, and Suiyuan Temple is also ashamed.
However, the old monk didn't seem to hear it, and said silently: "There is no need to go to Suiyuan Temple, in fact, I listened to what the Taoist chief said, and what the Taoist chief said, but it was all a story, and the old man had no doubts." The story is naturally fake, and there is no need to delve into it. The reason why Lao Qu still came out to stop the Taoist chief was because of a poem written by the Taoist chief at the end, and he was afraid that the Taoist chief would lose his words for a while, mislead people's children, and sins, sins. He sighed.
Zhang Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that he was worthy of being an old monk, and he was really a lotus flower, first defining the story he told in three or two sentences as false, and then he put himself in the army, saying that he was a mistaken disciple, but he added a "momentary gaffe" in front, so that he didn't even have a chance to find a field. He smiled and said, "I don't know what the great monk thinks?"
Master Ci'en clasped his hands together and bowed slightly: "Since the Taoist chief asked, the old man also said." Today, the Taoist chief made a total of three poems, the first two are not for the time being, but the last one is inevitably a little ridiculous. The Taoist chief said, 'A golden pill of longevity', others may not know, when the old man was young, he witnessed a Taoist who used black lead, mercury, gold and stone to make alchemy, and said that the golden pill was once completed, and it immediately soared. It's a pity that after the Taoist took it, he did not feather and soar, but his face was blue and purple, and he foamed at the mouth, and within a moment, he was poisoned and died. The Taoist said again today that in order to avoid doing your home-going experiments, the old man followed in the footsteps of that Taoist, although he knew that his background at this time would damage the prestige of the Taoist, or he could also evil the Taoist. But for the sake of all the donors here, the old man did not dare to harm everyone's lives because of his own selfishness. Therefore, he took the liberty of speaking out, called the Taoist chief, and hoped that the Taoist chief was not strange. ”
Don't blame, don't blame, you've talked to such a point, who dares to blame you?
Zhang Xuanqing was disgusted enough by this old monk, and although he couldn't say that he had a good impression of the old monk at first, he didn't have much bad feelings. But this old monk was a general first, and then he pressed step by step, aggressive, although he said good things, but it was clear that suppressing him and raising himself was really not what a high monk should do.
There was a commotion in the tavern, Jin Danzhi said that they had heard of it a long time ago, it can be said that all dynasties, from the princes and nobles, to the common people, have eaten Jin Dan and eaten to death, but it is not uncommon.
There are some learned people here, bowing their heads to their friends and counting the emperors of various dynasties and generations who have taken alchemy and pills to death. Of course, there are those who believe and those who don't, and some people still think that Jindan is credible, but those people were unlucky and were deceived at the beginning.
On the second floor, Li Daoli saw that Master Ci'en was making trouble for Zhang Xuanqing, so he wanted to go downstairs to cheer for him. However, listening to these words, it was like taking root under his feet, standing still, thinking about how Zhang Xuanqing explained first.
Soon, everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Xuanqing. But seeing Zhang Xuanqing glance at it, he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, as if he had encountered something ridiculous, and laughed so much that tears flowed out.
Without waiting to ask him why he was laughing, Zhang Xuanqing suddenly burst into laughter, which was extremely abrupt, making everyone present feel awkward.
Zhang Xuanqing didn't realize it, he just stared at Ci'en with a smile, and said quietly: "Who said that the Jin Dan that the poor Dao said is those garbage?"
Huh?
Everyone present was sluggish, they guessed that Zhang Xuanqing would defend and talk about other things, but they never thought that he would say that Jin Dan was rubbish.
"What does the Taoist mean by this?" Master Ci'en's face changed slightly, and somehow, a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
I saw Zhang Xuanqing shaking his head and sighing, and sneered: "The golden pill, the great medicine, the most spiritual and the divine, is not the world's gold, stone, grass and trees, black lead and mercury, nor is it a tangible and qualitative thing such as furnaces, kettles, water and fire. The so-called golden pill: the golden one, the one who is strong and permanent, and the one who is dan, the thing that is perfect and pure. Poor Dao borrowed the name of Jindan to metaphor the nature of the true spirit. This sex is called Taiji in Confucianism, Yuanjue in Interpretation, and Jindan in Taoism. Although the name is divided into three, it is actually one thing. 'When one law is passed, ten thousand laws are passed, and the rest is divided into north and south and west and east' is exactly what it says. Therefore, the Jindan, the Confucian cultivator is holy, the Buddha is the Buddha, the Taoist is the immortal, and the saints of the three religions all take the original true nature as the foundation of enlightenment. ”
"It is a golden elixir, not a physical object, but the ancestor Qi of the born earth, invisible and shadowless, difficult to grasp, hidden in the empty mysteries. Only the immortals can penetrate the yin and yang creation, the whirling bucket calendar, the secret combination of the heavens, the five elements of the cluster, and the four elephants, so that they can be born with a little ancestor Qi. ”
"Zu Qi is completed, when he turns into millet rice, descends to see the air, picks and obeys, and returns to the yuan to accept the order, so that he can be a guest of immortality. And the so-called golden pill, is to gather into shape, disperse into qi, come and go without hindrance, ascend into the invisible, there are infinite changes, the way of freedom and leisure!"
"Therefore, the essence of alchemy is to be the altar stove, to the heart as the god room, to sit and practice as the take, to take care of the fire, to stop as the advance and retreat, to intermittently not for the embankment, to use as the extraction, to the true qi fumigation as the bath, to breath as the fire, to subdue the body and mind as the field, to concentrate and gather qi for the city, to forget the opportunity for life and death, to move the mind as the mystery, to fight together as the knot, to return to the root of the life for the Dancheng, to move the gods for the tripod, to the body outside the body for the rebirth, to return to the source for the vacuum, to break the void for the time. ”
"The people of the world are ignorant, listen to the bewitchment of the evil masters, and use the hardware and eight stones to refine the medicine for the golden pill, how foolish!
Boom Boom –
It was like a thunderbolt, Zhang Xuanqing made a tirade, and everyone present was stunned.
Especially when talking about the method of alchemy, it is like an initiation, so that everyone has a sense of "so it is". can let them think about it again, but they are like seeing flowers in the fog, looking at things through the veil, and they can't get the essentials.
Although Zhang Xuanqing just replaced the danding used by ordinary Taoist priests for alchemy, and used the spirit, soul, and thoughts as medicinal materials, but somehow, after Zhang Xuanqing said this, everyone felt that his "internal refining" method was more than one step higher than the "external practice" method of ordinary Taoist priests, and it was more than one step more mysterious.
It's mysterious!
Even if it is the first time you have heard of this kind of alchemy method, and it has not even been confirmed, you will subconsciously think that this is the right way, this is the real magic method of cultivation!
It felt very unreasonable, but it touched everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but want to remember every word Zhang Xuanqing just said. If there is a trace of omission, my heart will be lost, and I will inexplicably feel sad.
Master Ci'en's face changed for a while, Zhang Xuanqing's remarks were too advanced, he had never heard of it, he had never seen it, even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't find a way to refute it for a while.
Suddenly, a disciple beside him turned pale and rebuked in a loud voice: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! What alchemy method, what kind of magic to become an immortal, I have never heard of it." A bunch of nonsense! a bunch of nonsense!" His expression was full of madness.
Everyone glared angrily, as if blaming him for disturbing them to memorize Zhang Xuanqing's words.
The disciple didn't realize it, his expression was even more crazy, and he yelled at Zhang Xuanqing: "You Taoist, first slandered the Buddha and slandered the Buddha, slandered the Buddha, and then talked nonsense, vainly pretending to be a cultivator, and got a demon way!"
Liu Shenwei next to him finally couldn't help it, stepped out, and scolded back: "That bald donkey, you are angry and corrupt, isn't it speechless to refute, and you are going to tarnish the reputation of my uncle?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd in the tavern was excited, and they all condemned the little monk.
