Chapter 133 Referring to the Moonlight Night, the Heavenly Ladder to the Palace (I)
(Inscription: This is the last of the eleventh volume.) In this volume of "Saving Body", two important plot suspense of the book are also related to the theme - Ishino's life experience and the origin of the wind gentleman.
I usually like to read book reviews, but I am prepared for all kinds of suggestions and criticisms, but I am not surprised by one type of review. Some people would actually accuse this book of being too clever in the plot setting, and biased towards superstition in cause and effect everywhere. I only can't cry or laugh, such a person, if I go to watch "Dream of Red Mansions", I don't know what strange things I will say?
To critique cause and effect, we must first know what true cause and effect is. Cause and effect are not superstitions, nor are they fate, they are the laws of the development of things, and the connection of all things in the world. From Aristotle to Marx, from Lao Tzu to Zhang Madman, from Buddha to Rousseau, no one in ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, whether idealistic or materialistic, denies the existence of the law of cause and effect. Even nihilists can't avoid propositional thinking. The most typical example of a modern scientific system based on the law of cause and effect is the law of physics. This is not a narrow concept that some people understand.
There are two types of people who reject or dislike cause and effect. The first type, led to the wrong path by pale education, inexplicably believes that materialists do not talk about cause and effect, and as for why, he himself cannot tell. The second type of people has a big problem, and there is a terrible subconscious in their minds - Lao Tzu can do whatever he wants. I am not afraid of retribution or luck, thinking that there will be no consequences against myself. One of the social phenomena in this world is that those who yearn for evil and self-interest, know what is good and do not do it, and act recklessly hate others to talk about cause and effect.
Most of the pages of this volume describe the meeting of the world cultivators, the palace of forgetfulness, and all kinds of people appear, and it is very lively. However, the title of the volume is called "Saving the Body", which corresponds to the realm of "Dan Dao" described above, and all cultivation must start from "reflecting on the inner light". )
Yun Zhongxian said that the wind gentleman can't pass on the wind gate method, and I was stunned when I heard it. Then I remembered that Ziying had told me that there was really such a strange rule in the Palace of Forgetfulness. For example, Tianyue can collect the Wind Gentleman, but a Fengmen disciple cannot accept the Moon Gate heir, while the Wind Gentleman can accept the Yunzhong Immortal as the Cloud Gate attendant, but he cannot pass on the disciple Fengmen Dao. When he taught me the kung fu of "Bigu", he talked about collecting the sun, the moon, the wind, and so on. I once wanted to learn the art of collecting wind, but the gentleman said that it was inconvenient to teach me according to the rulesβI'm afraid this is also the rule brought out by the Palace of Forgetfulness.
Although there is a little truth in saying this kind of thing now, it always feels a bit of a trick. I'm afraid that Master Tianyue didn't expect that the Wind Gentleman would play tricks on him, because this Wind Festival was originally intended to be taken back by the Wind Gentleman, and he never thought that Qiye would take it away with one hand.
Qiye glanced at the wind gentleman and smiled, but he didn't mind: "Don't pass it on, then don't pass it on, I don't care! It doesn't matter if there is a secret or not. It's like you can control the dragon soul with the black ruyi in your hand, and I don't think anyone in the right way has passed on your magic tricks?...... Fellow Daoists, Qiye Thank you all the world's fellow Daoists for appreciating this artifact today!
Qiye waved the wind festival in his hand, and the transparent and exquisite wind festival exuded a crystal space, enveloping Qiyedi's whole body. Then a clear and mighty wind rose under his feet. He flew away in a volley, quickly disappearing into the far end of the valley. Feng Junzi looked at the direction he was far away and was silent for a long time, then turned back to the two real people He Feng and He Xi and said, "The matter is over here, please keep your promise." You are responsible for persuading everyone to leave the Floating Life Valley, including the disciples of the Shohomin Sect. When everyone is gone, I have my own explanation. After speaking, he sat down in the chair and said nothing.
Only Fahai was still standing in the middle of the field, looking very embarrassed. He stopped talking. At this time, there was an old man in the valley who sang: "Half a step of red dust is soft and white sand." The law of fate does not change, and the law of change follows fate. ...... Brother. You've lost and you've lost well!"
With the singing, an old monk with pale eyebrows walked into the field, stepped over the blazing white sand, and came to the wind gentleman. I saw that every step he took was white away from the heat in the sand garden, and a little more cool. When he approached, the white sand of five zhang had no silver light, and it had become as white as snow. The person who came was the old monk Fa Cheng of the Jiulin Zen Temple.
Feng Junzi raised his head sharply at this time, and a light flashed in his eyes: "Fa Cheng, you old thing! But you are enlightened at this time. The meeting of the world's forgetful palace, your senior brother's defeat, actually achieved your enlightenment opportunity. I don't know if to congratulate you or scold you!"
Fa Cheng still folded his hands innocently: "Since ancient times, the Buddha has scolded the ancestors, and many wind boys, you can do it casually." β
Fahai saluted his junior brother on the side and said, "Senior brother, congratulations to you. Thank you very much for your dotting. β
Feng Junzi waved his hand to Fahai and said, "Master, you have done your best, this matter is not in the sky." You can rest assured, no matter whether you win or lose, I will ask someone to go to Jiulin Zen Temple to worship a futon. β
Others may hear it strange: Fahai, who has not walked the world for 60 years, came here just for the purpose of a futon? However, I understood that the futon that Feng Junzi said was the one he stole from the Jiulin Zen Monastery for me to sit on, and it was said that it contained a sacred relic of Zen Buddhism, the kapok robe. Fahai bowed his head and said, "You shouldn't have returned it today, but you shouldn't have taken it back then." Here, the cause and effect are vast, but the mistakes are clear. The old monk should not be thanked, but thank you, thank the donor. After speaking, the two monks walked away arm in arm like kindergarten children crossing the street.
Qiye and Fahai left one after another, and this lively meeting of the Palace of Forgetfulness should finally be dispersed. Not to mention how to maintain the order of the main door, and persuaded everyone to retreat in an orderly manner, in short, everyone got up and said goodbye. The Wind Gentleman kept his head bowed and was silent, only Yun Zhongxian stood aside and saluted the major heads who came to say goodbye. People turned to each other and talked about leaving. It's like a movie theater ending. When the sun was setting and the sky was dark, the huge floating valley was empty.
There were only seven people left in the valley: Feng Junzi, Yun Zhongxian, He Xi, He Feng, Han Ziying, Seven Hearts, and me. There were other people who wanted to stay, so they all let Zhengyi Gate persuade Han Ziying and Qixin to stay, and Xi and He Feng did not stop them. The two real people dismissed the disciples, but they didn't leave, of course, they were waiting for the wind gentleman to return Hei Ruyi.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the Wind Gentleman said to the Immortal in the Clouds: "You already have the Cloud Waving Staff of your own sect, return the magic weapon you gave you earlier." β
Yun Zhongxian nodded in response. Reaching out to untie the placket on his chest, a snow-white chest was exposed. What is she going to do? Qixin was dumbfounded, and the two Taoist priests quickly turned their faces. I didn't realize that Ziying had already stepped forward to block my view. Fortunately, Yun Zhongxian did not continue to undress, but reached out and took off a silver necklace between his neck. Then she lifted her left sleeve and dropped a golden bracelet from Hao's wrist. She handed the necklace and bracelet to the Wind Gentleman.
The Wind Gentleman took it and exclaimed: "Alas, whatever thing in the world passes through the hands of the Heavenly Moon Fairy, it will become incomparably beautiful, without a little vulgarity. Even the magic weapons of the chain beast ring and the demon blocking rope can also be refined so elegantly. If it weren't for the sake of believing in my words, I would be reluctant to return them to the two Taoist masters. ...... This ring is really magical, and the shape of the weapon can actually change with different spells!"
He Feng Zhenren had already turned his face at this time. He looked very surprised and dissatisfied: "Lock the beast ring and block the demon rope......!"
Feng Junzi: "Why isn't it Hei Ruyi, right? Chengfeng Festival is one of the nine weapons of the Forgetful Palace, how did you lose it today, and you have also seen it with your own eyes." The current Chengfeng Festival can no longer be said to be a magic weapon belonging to the Palace of Forgetfulness. Although Hei Ruyi is one of the three treasures of Zhengyi, it has flowed out of Zhengyi in his early years, and it cannot be said that it is a magic weapon of Zhengyimen, right?...... I only said that I would return the Dharma weapon of the main sect, but I didn't say that I would return Hei Ruyi. This beast ring and demon rope are indeed the same thing. I have a letter to return to the two Taoist masters. Not only one piece, but also one free one, which is also regarded as a thank you for the Tianyue Fairy of the Forgetful Palace, and this time to help maintain order and safety in the Floating Life Valley. β
These words are reasonable, and the gentleman really only said that he would return the magic weapon, but did not say that he wanted to return the black Ruyi. I knew what he wanted to do when he said the names of the two magic weapons, the Lock Beast Ring and the Demon Blocking Rope, and I secretly said in my heart that I was smart. He Feng stood stunned and didn't know how to respond on the spot. He Xi asked: "These two magic weapons are indeed stolen by Qi Yunguan, and I don't know how they got into the hands of Gongzi?"
Feng Junzi: "The situation is more complicated, but Senior Brother Shouzheng knows the reason. Shi Xiaozhen can testify to this. Ishino, do you say?"
I nodded and said, "This is true, the head of the family has personally talked to me about the cause and effect of this matter, and his old man is clear. ...... Since I am an arbitrator, I will arbitrate again one last time, and this move of the seniors can be regarded as trustworthy. β
He Xi also nodded and said to He Feng: "Senior brother, we didn't come here for Hei Ruyi this time. It is an unexpected joy to be able to recover the lock beast ring and demon blocking rope of the master's gate, and I should thank my son's seniors for it!"
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, He Feng had to push the boat down the river and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors! He Feng and the others have said goodbye!" After speaking, he took the magic weapon. He Xi left the Floating Valley.
There were only five people left at the foot of the mountain, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, and this embarrassment came from between the Wind Gentleman and the Seven Hearts. Qixin lowered his head and didn't speak, and the wind gentleman's eyes always flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look at her. Today, the seven hearts admit in front of the world's cultivators, the wind gentleman broke her ground, and the seven emotions combined to reveal her true face again, stunning the world, and her true feelings are undoubtedly revealed. But in this way, it seems that there is no room for himself, and I am afraid that the gentleman of the wind will have to give her an answer. But the seven hearts don't ask the wind gentleman, and the atmosphere is very subtle.
Or will I break the deadlock first, find something to ask Qixin: "The Qixin Zhongnan faction has left, why did you stay?
Seven hearts: "Shi Zhenren said that he was laughing, how dare he ask his seniors to avoid it." β
At this time, the Wind Gentleman took off his mask and said, "Seven Hearts, you don't have to call Ishino-senpai in private. You don't have to call me senior when you and I take off our masks. When I was a gentleman in Wucheng, you and I made friends regardless of age. β
It was the first time I had seen her smile, although it was faint and almost imperceptible, but it still made people's eyes light up, as if the sunset around her had dimmed. Ziying saw the opportunity to grab her hand: "Sister Seven Hearts, Feng Junzi said that you will be a friend in the future, and if you like to call him a gentleman, you will still be called a gentleman." ...... I'm waiting for Ishino, and who are you waiting for when you stay?"
Seven hearts: "I will meet the head of the family later." In fact, I actually want to meet Master Tianyue, I don't know if it's okay. Although she spoke to this Ziying, she asked Xiang Feng Junzi with her eyes.
Ziying: "Yes, I also want to meet Master Tianyue, and I want to ask the fairy for advice. ...... Feng Junzi doesn't know if Senior Tianyue can see us?"
Feng Junzi: "You are all women, if you can cross the ladder of forgetfulness and visit the fairy with courtesy, at least you will not be embarrassed." As for whether to see it or not, it is uncertain. ...... With your cultivation, I am not very sure whether you will be able to pass through the Ladder of Prayer...... In this way, let the fairy in the clouds send you up, and the fairy will definitely see you. β
The Wind Gentleman spoke like this, clearly to give them a chance to see Tianyue, and both of them were very happy to say thank you. The Wind Gentleman said again, "Remember two things. One is not to be too surprised, and the other is not to speak ill of me. ...... Yun Zhongxian, you escort them. When he saw the fairy, he said that Fengjun was ashamed of her hard work, and Chengfeng Festival did not take it back. β
......
It was already dark, and only me and the Wind Gentleman were left in the Floating Valley. He leaned back in his chair and didn't speak, looking up at the bright moon rising from the Three Dreams Peak.
I sighed softly: "What a beautiful moonlight, the Three Dream Peak and the Floating Life Valley under the moonlight are simply a fairyland on earth. β
The Wind Gentleman suddenly turned his head and glared at me. His glance made me come back to my senses and I was surprised: "No, today is the 29th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, how can there be a moon in the sky?"
The Wind Gentleman seemed to say to himself: "You are not too confused after all, you still remember the days! The round on the Three Dreams Peak is not the moon, but the Heavenly Moon Fairy Earth Magic Weapon-Referring to the Moon Xuanguang! The magic weapon and the spell have the same name, both called the Finger Moon Xuanguang." ...... The fairy thought that I was still afraid of the darkness and deliberately sacrificed a magic weapon to illuminate the valley. β
"Are you still afraid of the dark?" I was a little puzzled.
The Wind Gentleman was still muttering to himself, "I don't have the natural yin eyes of you. If it weren't for the darkness as a child, I wouldn't have seen her if I hadn't walked up the mountain road toward the moonlight because I was afraid of the dark. β
Small preview: The next two chapters, 133 (below) and 134 (above), are both large dialogues between Ishino and the Wind Gentleman, which is the content of the book's "sitting and discussing", and is also an important turning point in the sublimation of Ishino's realm. It is recommended that book lovers who like to watch the excitement but don't like to watch the doorway can skip it and not read it, so as not to say that these two sections are not "interesting" in the book review.
