Chapter 225, Zen with the monk
Changsheng, which one doesn't like it?
From the recorded Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty Song Ancestor, a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan. These are all outstanding heroes, the best of the best, but which of them has not been pitted by Fang Shi?
Is it because they don't read history and don't know the lessons of their predecessors?
I can't stand the temptation!
To be precise, it was the emperors who had already confirmed, at least partially, that was what happened to them.
Of course, according to some of the scholars in Wu Gongzi's collection, it was not that they were deliberately deceiving the king, at least not at first.
However, as they succeeded step by step, as the spiritual materials they cultivated became less and less, their mentality also changed.
Do you soar yourself, or do you give up the opportunity to return to others?
Don't forget, this is the era of the end of the law, maybe it will only be enough for one person to ascend. After this person ascends, the aura of this realm is no longer enough for the second person to ascend.
So whether to pit the emperor and let himself soar, or pit himself and let the emperor soar, this is not a choice at all?
Not to mention that people who don't have such a heart for enlightenment can't become Taoist at all, and they can't become immortals. As the saying goes, "I only see the thief eating meat, but I don't see the thief being beaten." The ups and downs behind becoming immortals, a few people know.
Those who don't do anything and become immortals, which one is not deep in roots and good fortune.
If you really have that kind of roots, you don't have to deceive the emperor, do you?
Just like that old fruit, the roots are deep and powerful.
By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he had lived for more than 3,000 years. When Tang Taizong and Gaozong heard his name, they didn't go.
Why not?
That's because he has deep roots, and he can't look down on the little things when the Tang Dynasty was first built.
Especially before the Xuanwumen Incident, the Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an and emptied the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, for the sake of the above, there are historical books that Li Shimin condemned the aggressive behavior of the Turks with righteous words, and then Eli Khan was ashamed to withdraw from the army, in fact, anyone with a head would not believe this. Surely there is some secret agreement between the two sides.
It is likely that Li Shimin sent all his troops out to attack the Turkic flanks and achieved some small victories, and then rightly accused Jieli of treachery. The Turks couldn't figure out the truth and didn't have the confidence to take Chang'an in one fell swoop, and Li Shimin emptied the treasury and gave it to the Turks.
You say, all the good things have been robbed by the Turks, what is Zhang Guo doing when he is old? Fill the treasury of the Tang Dynasty?
Later, Wu Zetian sent someone to invite him.
Zhang Guolao took a look at this era of the end of the law. With his roots and feet, he can't hold it a little, and it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty should be rich at this time, and he can rob and rob. So he went.
Of course, he acted like "I had no choice".
However, he didn't rob this time, because they arrived at a place called "Jealous Female Temple".
What is the temple of jealous women, and what kind of god is jealous women?
The jealous woman is neither the god of fire nor the god of water. She is jealous of God.
The temple of jealousy is dedicated to Jie Zitui.
The approximate plot is: After 19 years of exile, Chong'er, the son of Jin Xiangong, returned to power with the help of Qin Mugong, and was for Jin Wengong. When rewarding meritorious people. only forgot about the meson who had the grace of cutting shares with him. When I thought about it, Jie Zitui and his mother had fled to Dingyang (the ancient place name of Jiexiu) Mianshan. Duke Wen of Jin chased after him and ordered the mountain to be burned, and the mother and son held on until they died.
Thereupon. They're dead.
After his death, he was angry, and on the day of his death, he vowed that there would be no warmth in the world. This is Qingming. The cause of the cold food of the ancients.
Jin Wengong is a good person, and he has banned fire and cold food from the winter solstice. This is the origin of the cold food of Qingming Festival.
However, the sister of Jie Zitui's sister Jieshan clan shamed brother to be a king, and could not bear the suffering of the people's cold food, so at the beginning of the winter solstice in Weize Pass (now known as Niangzi Pass), a salary was accumulated every day, and the sacrifice was burned on the day.
Do you think that Zhang Guolao accepted Wu Zetian's invitation and lived in such a temple, and he still thought about it?
So the history books record that when Zhang Guolao walked to a place called "Jealous Girl Temple", he pretended to be dead and fell straight on the road, and after a while, the body also decomposed. The envoy had no choice but to report to Wu Zetian truthfully.
In the twenty-third year of Tang Xuanzong's reign, Tang Xuanzong heard a report that Zhang Guolao was not dead, so he sent his envoy Pei to Zhongtiao Mountain to invite him.
This time, Zhang Guo was a good learner, he didn't enter the temple, and went straight to the capital.
When Zhang Guo entered the palace, Tang Xuanzong saw that Zhang Guo's old teeth were white and inconspicuous, and he was a little suspicious of him, so he asked him: "Mr. The Taoist is also, why are the teeth decaying like this?"
As an emperor, of course, it is impossible to trust people casually, even if it is a legendary old immortal.
Zhang Guolao also knew this, and he replied: "I got the Tao when my teeth fell out and my hair fell out, so I had to look like this." Now Your Majesty has asked if it is better to exhaust your teeth. So saying, he plucked out his hair and knocked out his teeth.
Tang Xuanzong hurriedly said: "Why is Sir like this? ”
But after a while, Zhang Guolao walked out again, his face changed greatly, "green temples and bright teeth, the more he is in his prime", Tang Xuanzong was very surprised.
After such a toss, Tang Xuanzong believed it, and awarded him the title "Doctor Yinqing Guanglu" and the title "Mr. Tongxuan".
Later, Zhang Guolao had enough, and it happened that Tang Xuanzong had a good sister named Princess Yuzhen, who had to marry Zhang Guolao.
Zhang Guolao was frightened. This is the era of the end of the law, dear. He himself was reluctant, where did he dare to bring a drag oil bottle.
However, Zhang Guolao is very good at pretending to be 13, and he sings like this: "Marry a woman and get a princess, and ten places will be promoted to the princess." What people think is gratifying, I think is terrible." After singing, he laughed non-stop, then took out the paper donkey, blew into shape, and rode away on the donkey's back.
Later, Zhang Guolao became one of the Eight Immortals, and he beat the fishing drum and sang the song, and he became the ancestor of singing Taoism.
The so-called Taoism originated from the Taoist songs of the Tang Dynasty, with Taoist stories as the theme, to promote the grace of the world. The Ming and Qing dynasties were widely spread. The subject matter is also more extensive, and it has developed into a variety of folk arts in various places in combination with Han folk songs, such as Northern Shaanxi Daoqing, Yiwu Daoqing, Hubei Yugu, Shandong Yugu, Sichuan Zhuqin, etc.
This is one of the most typical examples of pit royal and immortal Taoism.
From this example, it can be seen that not only the emperor is pitted, but also the royal people are not touched. Because he is already great to become an immortal, where can he care about others. This is the end of the Dharma era.
Later, the Fang Shi of the Emperor was all learning from Zhang Guolao.
These martial princes' classics were all recorded, so he immediately understood Lin Feng's plan.
King Gongsun didn't know this, when they were buried in the ground, the Great Qin Dynasty had not yet been established, let alone the Tang Dynasty.
He only knew that Lin Feng was a Fang Shi, but he could live forever, and that was enough. He immediately burst into laughter: "...... Qing"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, in the palace of King Gongsun, a white and chubby guy in a purple robe with a rosary wrapped around his hand called a stop.
Dressed in a purple robe, this guy should be a big official, but what the hell is it with a rosary wrapped in his hand?
The rosary is engraved with a Buddha seal, and there are faint aura fluctuations, which is a good object.
Lin Feng looked at his Buddha beads.
"Amitabha!" the man pronounced the Buddha's horn, and there was a thunderous sound, and it was the roar of the lion of the Buddha.
What's going on? How can there be a monk here?
Lin Feng frowned, as a person with a heritage, he already knew the secrets of the world. Of course there will be a frown.
For example, the flood we have been talking about, there is no such thing as the earth, and some are just stories and legends. Because after the flood was shattered, the saint rerefined all walks of life, making all walks of life zero. The old things of the flood and famine are re-interpreted, and what the world can bear continues to be derived. If the power of the world is too small to bear, it becomes a legend and a story.
The earth is the smallest in this realm, so there were no monks or anything in the past, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that it was passed from Tianzhu.
It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it stands to reason that there could be no monks. But here there is a "Amitabha Buddha".
King Gongsun immediately introduced: "This is the Venerable Ziyang. It is the inheritance left by the people of the Jin Dynasty who strayed into our country. ”
"Jin people? ”
Lin Feng and Wu Gongzi immediately thought of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring". Although Tao Yuanming's description can't be here, but after all, it's a corroboration isn't it? And this makes sense, it turned out to be a inheritance brought by the Jin people, and there were monks at that time.
This also explains why he has this Dharma rosary on him. Whether it's Spring and Autumn or Jin, it's all from the past. As long as it's not the monk's own, there's nothing to fear.
Otherwise, it has been more than a thousand years since the former Jin Dynasty. If such an old monster is still alive, I really don't know what kind of means it will have.
"What does the master have to say?" Lin Feng stepped forward and saluted and asked.
"I'm in zazen, and I don't know anything about things outside, but the king, the poor monk has long said that outsiders are vulgar, and the king really shouldn't see it in person. It's better to send it away and be received by the doctors. The Venerable Master Ziyang folded his hands and said Amitabha again.
I'm going! This monk is so hostile. Not only did he ignore Lin Feng, but on the contrary, he also suggested that King Gongsun should ignore it as well.
What is this? This is Chiguoguo's hostility!
This monk obviously understands what it means, one monk has water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. On Shan Linfeng's side, there are three of them. Directly want to fool the king of Gongsun.
Lin Feng easily saw the person here, where would he let a monk mess up, although everyone knew that the monk's eloquence was very good, and the Taoist priest was not an opponent, he was such a person who learned to "farm", and he could only harden his head.
"Master. Lin Feng stepped forward.
"This donor, what's the matter with you?" He was not afraid, and he didn't know if it was because the artist was bold, or if Li Yong's performance just now was too bad, so he didn't need to look at Lin Feng.
This is not to blame him, "foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures", this is not something that is said casually.
Ever since the Venerable Master Ziyang practiced the Dharma, he has deeply understood what the Lotus Flower of Buddhism is.
In addition, the people who brought in the Buddhist scriptures, in order to pass on the Taoist system, could not help but praise their own family, and talk more about how to win the Taoist monks back then. For Lin Feng and them, he was really stunned at all.
Otherwise, if Lin Feng reports the name of Buddhism, if you look at his attitude, it will definitely be different.
"Master, I'll wait for ...... from afar" (To be continued.) )
