Chapter 114: White Jade Toad
Who is Ge Changgeng?
Ge Changgeng, also known as Bai Yuchan, is one of the five ancestors of the Southern Quanzhen Sect, and is as famous as the Northern Seven Truths.
Bei Qizhen is the seven disciples of Wang Chongyang in the book "Shooting the Condor", also known as the seven sons of Quanzhen.
Of course, martial arts novels are different from the real world, and the real world is different from the world of heavenly books, so even this Ge Changgeng is also the stepson of the Bai family and changed his surname to Bai, but it is unknown whether there will be that kind of achievement, but no matter what, the title of Bai Yuchan alone is enough for him to masturbate.
There was little gossip, but it was said that An Yi followed behind Ge Changgeng, and finally came to Chang Geng's house through the streets and alleys.
As he said, his family is indeed not rich, and his three or five miscellaneous houses and a small courtyard are his current residence. But even so, it's not bad in Chang'an City, at least it's good to eat.
At this time, his parents and relatives were still in Minqing, Fujian, and he came here to enter Beijing to take the exam, and there was no such service as a scholar, which is enough to see that he was indeed poor.
Because no one takes care of him and there is little silver, Ge Changgeng does it himself on weekdays, and he has no worries about the "gentleman who cooks far away" in ancient times. Or rather...... Deep roots?
This is not an easy speculation, just because after Ge Changgeng cooked the meal, he immediately took out the treasured wine and invited him to drink it. There is no stinginess at all. Moreover, although the food is simple and light, it is also all it takes, to the best of its ability, what is the temperament, why do you need to say more?
As for why he said that his Tao is deeply rooted, there are other reasons......
In the room, the little light left by the sunset outside the window permeated the room, shining on Ge Changgeng's body, illuminating a damaged place on the corner of his clothes more conspicuously.
Ge Changgeng didn't seem to be aware of it. Even if An Yi was looking at it intentionally, he didn't care, and asked An Yi to sit down after setting up the wine and food. Nor did he shy away from the mess on his body, and filled him with wine glasses himself. As soon as the words opened, he didn't say anything else, and said directly: "Is the Taoist chief willing to say?"
What does it mean to speak? The speaker also speaks, what he means is that he wants to ask for comfort and whether he is willing to preach to him. Such urgency is enough to see his admiration for Taoism.
For this. The look of surprise in An Yi's eyes only flashed, and then calmed down. seems to think that Ge Changgeng is so catechumen, it is natural.
This is indeed the case, and in Anyi's heart, this is what he really thinks.
And the reason is not only because Ge Changgeng has a great reputation in later generations, but the most important thing is that he has read a sentence before: "Confucianism when I hope, Taoism when I am disappointed." Buddhists in desperation. ”
Although this statement is somewhat one-sided, there is also a certain truth in it.
Confucianism governs the world, Taoism governs the body. Buddhism heals the mind.
Confucianism advocates benevolence, takes the gentleman as an example, and has the world's desire to extend its intentions to the world. And these ambitions can only be fulfilled when they are proud. If you can't even eat, how can you talk about governing the country and leveling the world!
Taoism, on the other hand, advocates quiet inaction, seclusion from the world, and solitude. From ancient times to the present, whether it is a Taoist hermit, it can be said that they are all dissatisfied with current politics and life, and they only enter the Tao. Pursue spiritual satisfaction.
Let's talk about Buddhism's treatment of the heart, but this "treatment" is cleverly used. This Buddhism advocates the cycle of cause and effect, and the effect of this life is the cause of previous lives. The cause of this life bears the fruit of the next.
In terms of the three, it can be said that Confucianism is positive and enterprising, Taoism is doing nothing, and Buddhism is passive and sinking, making people "look away" in despair, in fact, it is still self-deception.
In this way, this cure of the mind is not a cure or a cure, but a cure, and it uses its thoughts to confuse your heart!
Of course, this is only built on the basis of godlessness, but in this mythical world, although the principle is the same, if you believe in Buddhism wholeheartedly, maybe after death, you can go to the west and become a monk on the bad street.
When I came back and said home, the overall idea was to be alone, Yang Zhu said: "It is not okay to pluck a hair and benefit the world." This is not a shallow and simple "selfishness", but "the weight of the body is light, the rule of inaction", "for me", "noble self", "noble life" and other ideological propositions.
What we pay attention to is "knowing the temporary coming of life, knowing the temporary coming of death", so as to "enjoy life" and "save me as precious". Neither can we "lose a little bit and benefit the world", nor can we "serve the whole world". In this way, everyone does not lose a single bit, everyone is not good for the world, and everyone is not greedy for the world, so that "the world can be governed!"
However, if people are born to seek good fortune and avoid evil, they are tired of poverty and are greedy for fame and fortune, if they are not disappointed, how can they worship the Tao and seekers, and if they do not go through blows, how can they understand the preciousness of life? Therefore, since ancient times, people who have entered the Tao have mostly started from frustration, abandoned material desires, loved the body, and valued themselves for themselves.
And Ge Changgeng was at this time at a time of frustration. He was originally a boy at the age of twelve, knew the Nine Classics, could poetry, and was influenced by the idea of "learning literature and martial arts, selling them to the emperor's family", and wanted to be the champion of high school.
But now although he is only 21 years old, but because he offended the powerful, he was secretly manipulated, tried and failed, and then he was hopeless, but he went home without saying a word to meet his parents, and sold calligraphy and paintings every day for a living, how could he not be discouraged.
When he was so frustrated, he met Anyi, a "high road" with abnormal behavior, and he moved his mind and opened his mouth to ask.
And after An Yi figured it out, he didn't answer directly, nor did he say good, nor did he say bad, but stretched out his index finger and nodded at Chang Geng in the void.
Seeing this, Ge Changgeng was puzzled, but he didn't immediately ask, but pondered in his heart: "What does Dao Chang mean by this?"
Time passed, the moon was as cool as water, Ge Changgeng said a word from the rice money, and after getting the reply from An Yizhi, he didn't open his mouth again, just stared and thought. And comfort did not disturb him, and he drank and ate by himself, which was very self-satisfied.
It's just that when the wine and food were finished, seeing that Ge Changgeng on the other side was still silent, frowning and thinking, he also frowned a little.
If it is said that thinking for a while is enlightenment, but if it is still thinking after a long period of incomprehension, it is attachment. Moreover, it is difficult to ensure that the other party is not pretending to be unable to wipe off face!
As soon as he thought of this, An Yi coughed and said, "What is Ge Xianggong thinking? Why didn't he speak for a long time?" ”
Ge Changgeng woke up suddenly, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that a long time had passed, and he said embarrassedly: "Dao Chang forgives his sins, Chang Geng is stupid, he can't understand the meaning of Dao Chang, and he is immersed in it for a while and forgets the time." Please don't blame the Taoist Chief!" After speaking, he twisted for a long time and begged: "The Taoist may say it clearly?"
Comfortably winked. pretended to be confused and said, "What are you talking about?"
But how could Ge Changgeng guess it, and replied respectfully: "That's the one who pointed it! Chang Geng is stupid." Please also ask for the governor's advice. ”
An Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but suddenly said with a full face: "It turned out to be this, why didn't you say it earlier, in fact, a mosquito fell on you just now, I reminded you to fight it, who knows if you ignore me......"
What the?!!
Is tm kidding me?!
Ge Changgeng's face changed instantly, and the colors were extraordinarily exciting.
When An Yi saw it, he thought to himself, "Why hasn't it been there before?" It's going to be so much fun, especially for historical figures!"
It's a bad taste, but it's a pleasure. Facing Ge Changgeng's eyes that wanted to kill, he smiled unscrupulously, revealing a neat row of big white teeth.
Ge Changgeng's face was distorted, and he began to regret how he had a brain twitch for a while and brought such a bastard back.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, and it is too late for him to regret it at this time, so he understands this deeply, so he has to take two deep breaths. Relieve the depression in your heart.
He was afraid that if he didn't get rid of it, he would vomit blood comfortably.
His idea was generally very sensible, because of the ease of urine. There is no concept of eating people's soft mouths and taking other people's short hands at all. So if the interest comes, maybe he'll do it next.
But fortunately, at this time, he was comfortable and in a good mood, and he didn't continue to play tricks on people, so he just glanced at Ge Changgeng and didn't speak.
At this time, Ge Changgeng suddenly came back to his senses, and recalled the expression of the finger he had pointed out before. I thought in my heart: "No, the Taoist chief has a mysterious expression." It's definitely not a simple joke with me!" But just now, why did the Taoist deduce that it was a mosquito? Ge Changgeng couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the Taoist thinks I'm ignorant and blames me for thinking about it for too long." Think I'm too bad?"
At the beginning of the lanterns, the candles in the room were flickering, and Ge Changgeng's face was bright and dark, changing uncertainly.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he thought in his heart: "Since you can't figure it out, it's better to deceive him." After thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head and looked at An Yi, and said: "Don't make fun of me, the Taoist is the meaning of the Taoist, but 'the Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things return to the Tao, and the Tao is the only one'?"
An Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he glanced at Chang Geng with a smile. Chang Geng's hands and feet shrank, and he was a little weak-hearted. But An Yi didn't seem to show up, and suddenly changed to a serious expression and shook his head slowly.
Chang Geng was not surprised, and secretly said that his guess was not bad, and his mind turned sharply at the moment, and he said again: "Is that single-minded, consistent?"
An Yi nodded, then shook it again, and said, "This is attachment, not Taoism." ”
Ge Changgeng frowned and said, "Can the Taoist chief make it clear that if you don't cling to the Tao, how can you become the Tao?"
An Yi's eyes flashed, and the secret path really deserved to be the foundation of the five ancestors of the Southern Sect, such a deep root, and there was a way to say it, and it was worthy of the name in the future.
He smiled at the moment: "People have three corpses, the name is good, evil, and persistence, the idea of good cannot be held, the thought of evil cannot be held, and the thought of attachment cannot be held.
He really had the heart to enlighten Ge Changgeng at this time, on the one hand, it was the celebrity effect of history, but the most important thing was ...... He looks at him well!
That's right, it's pleasing to the eye, it's that simple.
In fact, sometimes the eye edge is very important, sometimes some people, as soon as they meet, they will not like it in their hearts, so that the two naturally cannot be friends, but sometimes, when they meet someone at the beginning of the year, they feel close in their hearts, which is the eye edge.
But this eye edge is not equal to love at first sight, after all, love at first sight is only based on the opposite sex, based on admiration, and at this time, it is just pleasing to the eye when you see Ge Changgeng comfortably. That's why he explained it for him.
It's just that what he explains is just Taoist practice.
But as soon as the words came out, he suddenly paused, and a very complicated color flashed in his eyes. (To be continued)
