024 Retrograde travel on Sunday, there are precepts and no good and evil
The moon is just when it is not full, and the light is scattered like a horse to the ground. Although there was no shadow in the wind gentleman's back, the moonlight formed a faint halo around his figure. At this time, the wind gentleman rarely stood solemnly in the night wind, motionless, and looked like he actually had a few fairy wind bones and treasures.
This is the yin god separated from the body after falling asleep in the child's time, and I came to the champion bridge, and the wind gentleman has been waiting for a long time. I usually see him always with a hippie smile, but I rarely see him so solemn, and he has a vague momentum that is not angry but mighty. He didn't speak, and I even felt like I couldn't speak.
"Ishino, you kneel!" the Wind Gentleman suddenly opened his mouth with his back to me, and there was a majesty in his voice.
I couldn't help but want to kneel, but I couldn't help but ask, "Kneel?"
Wind Gentleman: "Worship heaven and earth - that is, worship heaven and earth!"
"Worship heaven and earth!" I don't think these three words sound so awkward.
Feng Junzi suddenly laughed, he smiled and turned around: "Shi Ye, it's not you and me who worship heaven and earth, it's you who bow down to heaven and earth, this is the entrance ceremony of the Dan Dao - don't get me wrong." ”
Feng Junzi smiled, the solemn momentum just now disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his naughty nature, and he was also a person, how could the difference be so big in the blink of an eye?
As soon as I knelt down, the gentleman hurriedly flashed to the side and shouted, "Don't face me, I don't want to bow down to you...... It's okay to worship heaven and earth. ”
I knelt on the ground and asked, "How much, how much?"
Wind Gentleman: "You can worship whatever you want, as long as your heart is upright and your body is in awe...... There are thirteen heavenly tribulations in the four doors and twelve buildings, so you can worship thirteen. ”
I bowed to heaven and earth with dignity and respect, and after worshipping thirteen times, I looked at the wind gentleman. The Wind Gentleman beckoned to me: "Get up, the ceremony is complete." ”
"It's so easy?"
Feng Junzi smiled again: "What's the matter? How complicated do you want it to be? Why don't we add a few more projects to the mountains and the sea of fire?"
I quickly stood up: "Forget it, it's better to keep it simple." What's next?"
Feng Junzi: "According to the rules, I should ask you a question, Shi Ye, do you know why you have to bow down and worship heaven and earth first at the entrance to the Dao of Cultivation?" You think about it first, and then answer according to your own will. ”
I stood up and thought about it carefully, during this time, I also read a lot of books on religion, qigong, and metaphysics in the library, and then I recalled the contents in my mind, thought for a long time, and replied: "People are born of heaven and earth, and the aura of cultivation is the unity of heaven and man, so you must worship heaven and earth before practicing, right?"
Wind Gentleman: "It makes sense, but it's completely wrong!"
"Completely wrong?"
Feng Junzi: "Let me tell you, the truth is actually like this-two opponents who are about to fight on the stage always have to salute each other politely before making a move, which is why I want you to bow down." ”
"What? Do you mean -- I'm going to fight God?"
The same can be said. Do you know that the Dan Dao we have learned is actually going against the sky! All things have their own definite number of withering and glory, and birth, old age, sickness, and death are also the cycles of the Heavenly Dao. And Dan Dao's pursuit of longevity is against the will of heaven, and it is naturally against the sky. If you want to go against God, you have to say hello politely first, otherwise it will be too unsophisticated......"
I have never seen such a truth in any book, everyone is talking about conforming to the way of heaven and the unity of heaven and man, but the wind gentleman says that he wants to be against God. At this time, I suddenly remembered one thing: the last time the wind gentleman took me up to Zhaoting Mountain to Liu Yiyi to "seal the gods", a monk named Fayuan came out to make trouble, he also said at the time: "The poor monk passed by here, and saw that the sky was in the sky, and the spirit was soaring, and there should be a master who came to visit." It's just that at this point, I know that the winter flowers bloom, although the donor's mana is profound, but everything is withered and prosperous, and it has its own number of days, so it is not appropriate to do things against the sky after all. "I did think it was a little inappropriate when I heard it at the time, but I didn't expect the Wind Gentleman to say the same thing, and he said it so justifiably.
Seeing that I was silent, the Wind Gentleman continued: "The realm of the unity of heaven and man you said also exists, but is it so easy to be one with the heavens? God has not arranged this path for you, and if you want to go, you must go against the current. ”
I finally found an opportunity to ask a rhetorical question: "But no one has said that since ancient times." ”
The Wind Gentleman shook his head and said with a sneer: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!"
I know this sentence is from the fifth chapter of "Lao Tzu", I have read it, but I have never understood it, and I can't help but ask: "I know what Lao Tzu means by this sentence?"
Feng Junzi did not answer directly: "When I was a child, there was an idiom called 'treating everyone equally', and many people often made mistakes and wrote this 'benevolence' as the 'person' of the character, but they didn't understand what it meant." In fact, if heaven and earth are not kind, they are treated equally. Many people think that they are sorry, but in fact, in heaven and earth, we are no different from plants, trees, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars. Heaven and earth are not benevolent, but heaven and earth are selfless and not selfish, but unfortunately Dan Dao is selfish!"
"Selfishness? What does this have to do with selfishness?"
Wind Gentleman: "You misunderstood that the selfishness I said is not the selfishness you understand. Those who cultivate the Dan Dao cherish the furnace and the flesh body, and pursue immortality for a long time, which is partiality towards oneself. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, only self-respect and self-love can embrace the world and pursue the way of heaven. Heaven and earth are unkind, there is no right and no wrong, since there is no right and no mistake, the selfishness of the Dan Tao is also neither right nor wrong, and it is just a way to pursue the Tao. I can't say this very clearly, anyway, that's what Master Zu said, and that's what he did. ”
"How?"
Feng Junzi: "Actually, you have already done this, do you remember the little furnace ding kung fu I taught you? True Qi self-supervising the pulse walking, from the bottom to the top, from the tail to the jade pillow. If you ask a Chinese medicine practitioner, such as Grandpa Jin in your village, he will tell you that this direction is exactly the opposite of the way people own qi and blood run. Dan Dao's rebellion against the sky is not just talking, but running through the cultivation method throughout. ”
When the Wind Gentleman said this, I suddenly thought of a story in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and interjected: "Isn't that Ouyang Feng?" Huang Rong taught Ouyang Feng in the Condor Shooting Ark that the fake Nine Yin True Scripture made Ouyang Feng retrograde meridians, and as a result, Ouyang Feng became a fool......
Feng Junzi, who had always had a serious face, finally couldn't help but smile: "You can really tease martial arts novels, you can also take it seriously, these are completely different things! In fact, the size of Dan Dao Zhou Tian is really even the kung fu of retrograde meridians." You don't have to worry about becoming like Ouyang Feng. Okay, 'Salutation' and 'Ask' will stop here, and then I will have a chance to discuss with you slowly, and then proceed to the last ritual, 'Ordination'. ”
When I heard this, I realized that there are three steps in this initiation ceremony, which are to worship the heavens, ask questions, and receive ordination. I only heard the wind gentleman cough, put away his smile and said: "Shi Ye, you listen, I don't want to be your master, so you are not worshipping under my door." If you want to join another sect in the future, then abide by the rules of other sects, and if you want to set up your own door, then you should set your own rules. So there are no rules to bind you. But you are now a cultivator, and I am the one who introduced you to the beginning, and I want to tell you about the three major precepts that practitioners in the world keep together. ”
I seem to have heard of Mr. Zhang and Sister Han mentioning this, but they are not very careful, and it seems that there is something really going on. I asked, "What are the three commandments? Are there only three?"
"The first rule must not be shocking. There is a boundary between inside and outside the red dust, and I think since ancient times, I am afraid that few people have seen high-ranking people doing things in the city. Taoism is a secret art and cannot be easily revealed. Do you know why?"
I honestly replied, "I don't know." ”
Feng Junzi: "Actually, I don't know, but according to others, it's because mortals are ignorant, and if they easily show the Fa, it is easy to confuse everyone. There was once an evil demon who used magic to confuse the crowd and make a miasma...... Let's not talk about that. The second precept of a practitioner is not to cast spells on ordinary people, which means that they cannot use spells against a mortal. ”
I asked again, "Then if someone wants to kill you, can't you fight back?"
Wind Gentleman: "I'm not done yet. There is something particular about this, if people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if someone threatens your safety, of course you can do things to protect yourself. But you can't hurt the innocent, and you can't take the initiative to hurt and confuse people with the Tao. ”
"I see. ”
Wind Gentleman: "Don't be so anxious to say that you know that this is the most important thing to you. If you are an ordinary person, you don't have to worry about the high-ranking people in the world who will attack you, but now it is different, you are already a formal initiation cultivator, which is even more dangerous than ordinary people. If there is a master who has an enmity with you, and you fight with your hands, it is no longer a violation of the precepts. And your current cultivation is still shallow, I'm afraid you are not someone else's opponent, so you must be cautious and don't easily show your deeds. This is what the ancients said: 'It is better to beat those who can punch and drown, than to be able to water', have you remembered?"
"Remember!" I really remembered, for I had almost had a hand with someone just two days ago, and I had a deep recess. Fortunately, the other party didn't see that I was a cultivator at that time.
Feng Junzi looked at me and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much, since you haven't entered any sect, no one will give you the next Dao seed, as long as you don't make a move, no one can see that you are a cultivator." ”
"What is the Dao Seed?"
The Wind Gentleman scratched his head: "I can't tell you about this, have you heard of the tantric empowerment ceremony? ...... It's not about opening up the meridians, but about keeping the experience of cultivating the Tao as the sealing of the realm in your divine consciousness, so that you will have an experience every step of the way. That way you won't go the wrong way...... Of course, Master's Dao is planted wrong, but it is more troublesome, so don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you. Now comes the third commandment. This third precept is not to use the Tao to do evil, not to use the Tao to make money and kill people, not to use the Tao to interfere with the world, and not to use the Tao to seek selfish desires......"
"Wind gentleman, wait, why is this third one so complicated, it has become several. ”
Feng Junzi smiled embarrassedly: "I also think it's quite complicated, the meaning is two points, the first point is not to do bad things, and the second point is not to use Taoism as a means to make personal use in the world." This is more troublesome to explain, so you can slowly experience it yourself in the future. ”
Feng Junzi finally finished explaining the three major precepts of this practitioner, namely, not to be shocking to the world, not to do things to mortals, and not to make profits and harm others in the world. Feng Junzi finally said that the standard for distinguishing between good and evil in the cultivation realm is these three precepts, and if someone takes the initiative to violate these three precepts, cultivators in the world have the obligation to punish them together. It turns out that the description of the decent and evil faction in martial arts novels really has a little basis. But I still don't understand a little bit that Qiyun Guan's Hechen Dao Master should also be a cultivator, but he conspired to frame Principal Liu twenty years ago, and it was a standard fortune and murder, so is it considered a violation of the precepts? Thinking of this, I asked Feng Junzi this question.
The Wind Gentleman blinked for a long time and said to me, "I don't know if I violated their door rules or not, but this Harmony Dao Master did not violate these three precepts. In the world, he only used gold to lure two despicable villains to do things for him, and did not use any spells. In fact, these three precepts are just a disguise, and there are too many loopholes when you really think about it, so each sect has its own detailed rules. You don't have a door rule to take advantage of it, and you will know this later. Wait, I almost forgot, I had to add one last one to you. ”
"What?"
"Teaching the Fa without apprenticeship is a very taboo thing in the cultivation realm, and I don't want others to know about it! Therefore, from now on, you can't tell others that your Dao is taught by me, and you can't tell others that I will be able to do the Dan Dao of the Four Gates and Twelve Floors. ”
"Okay, I see. What if someone else wants to ask?"
"You came from Mars? I'll teach you to lie! You just say that you're dreaming and dreaming of a master's teaching, isn't it over? This seems to be the truth!"
After nearly two hours of tossing, the initiation ceremonies such as worshipping the heavens, asking questions, and receiving ordination were finally over. I didn't know at the time that this was probably the most sloppy cultivation introductory ceremony in the world, and the introductory ceremony of the official disciples of the Zhengyi Sect to which Qi Yunguan belonged took three days and three nights before and after! It seems that the Feng Junzi is very uninterested in this ceremony, just to deal with the rules that have been passed down since ancient times. After the wind gentleman said that it was all over, he found a comfortable place to sit down, stared at me with a smile and asked, "The matter of the ceremony is over, now you should tell me what you have experienced in the past two days, right? Why did you run into the bed of the boss lady? Don't lie to me, I know that you are good at learning now, but you are not enough to play with me." ”
I do hide it from Mr. Zhang and Sister Han, but I still plan to tell the truth to Mr. Fengjun. First, he is also my master, even if he doesn't recognize the name of this master, in fact, he is also the second wind gentleman of the master, and he also knows about my cultivation of the Yin God, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deceive him with my lies. So I honestly told him the cause and effect of this incident.
After listening to this, Feng Junzi did not ask a very rare question, but asked something that I didn't expect: "If there is a next Zhu Guo, who are you going to give it to?"
I haven't really thought about it. Sister Han said that this zhuguo tree only bears fruit once in sixty years, and it bears a maximum of twelve fruits at a time, and the fruit matures once a month this year. If I find that Zhuguo tree, I will probably be able to get one back next month, who will I give it to at that time? Either give it to Sister Han again, or take it and sell it? After thinking about it, I still don't wear it anyway, I can't say anything about what I haven't gotten yet, so I replied with a smile: "If there is still one, I will definitely give it to you." ”
Feng Junzi shook his head: "Zhu Guo, I don't want the Huang Ya Dan that the boss lady refined, I'm very interested, maybe it will be useful to me, and if you have a chance, you can take a few and show me...... Ishino, I ask you, how long has it been since you've been to see Liu Yiyi?"
