Chapter 148: Lao Junjiao
Su Xing leaned on the windowsill of the kitchen, stared at the iron pillar and asked the old man to braid.
I saw the old man supporting a green bamboo pole, the old dragon clock, staggering in front, and the seven-foot man with a tiger's back and a bear waist was a few steps behind the old man who braided the bamboo, cowering, and seemed to be very afraid of the silent old man of the bamboo.
Who knows that the inconspicuous old man in front of him has a real identity of a strong man in the Shangyuan Realm who can be trapped in the air!
"It turns out that what Qinglian said is the truth, and the old man doesn't like the people who don't like him, and he doesn't say a word to him. I don't know how many people in Ludao Village can talk to the old man. Su Xing muttered quietly, and deliberately glanced at the bamboo pole in the hand of the old man who braided the bamboo, it was green and dripping, and it was clearly the bamboo pole that was inserted in front of Su Xing a few days ago and asked for his life!
"Now that the old man is leaving, is it a chance for me?" Su Xing's eyes flashed, and he smiled.
In front of the door of the old man's room, he first used his pure ghost thoughts and sharp vision to check the mechanism in the room, and after making sure that it was correct, he cautiously sneaked in.
The furnishings of the room are simple, similar to the only room where the Awakening lived, with bamboo tables, chairs and beds, only a locked iron box, and a few ancient paintings hanging on the walls.
"With only these words, it is difficult to find out the identity of the old man who weaves bamboo. Su Xing's brows furrowed, facing the slightly empty room, feeling tricky, even he, without any clues, could not analyze the reason.
"The only clues are the big iron box and the scrolls on the walls. Su woke up to the big iron box, hoping to find some clues from the production process or pattern of the big iron box and the iron lock.
Unfortunately, the iron chest and lock were only made of ordinary iron pieces, and did not bear the mark of a famous workshop.
Then, the awakening eyes glared, and wisps of essence emerged from the bottom of the pupil, like a deep spring, woven into a ghostly thought.
I don't know if it's because of the recent weaving of bamboo, the control of awakening to the mind is more flexible and ingenious.
The forehead is shining, the jade wall is general, there is the place of the heavenly soul, the center of the eyebrows is a spring, and ghost thoughts can gush out from the eyes of the "window of the soul", or they can gush out from the center of the eyebrows.
After an epiphany of blessing to the soul, the method of visualization of the Buddha, and the change of "True as the Manifestation Diagram", the awakened ghost thoughts have increased several times, and they are impressively close to the level of the ghost general realm, which is also the basis for awakening and daring to explore the secrets of a monk in the Shangyuan realm!
The ghost thoughts of the realm of almost ghosts are like a tide gushing out, and in the blink of an eye, they are immersed in the iron box, and the things inside the iron box are clearly projected in the awakened mind.
Books, clothes, gold and silver, belongings, a few fine ritual utensils, nothing out of the ordinary.
Su Xing's brows tightened, and he slowly withdrew his ghost thoughts.
"It's all right, but"
Two rays of essence swept by, and in an instant, the awakening became radiant, and his eyes were blazing!
"But the old man who weaves bamboo, you never thought that the unabnormal placement would just expose the problem. I don't know why you put a few excellent magic weapons and clothes together, and besides, as a powerhouse in the Shangyuan Realm, how could you not have a magic weapon?"
"No matter how perfect it is, no matter how perfect it is, it can't hide the fact that it is a forgery!"
Su Xing whispered, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but this did not explain the problem, and the magic weapons placed in the iron box were only the most common and ordinary in the cultivation realm.
"It seems that we can only put our hopes on ancient paintings, hoping to discover something. Wake up and murmur, his eyes fall on the three ancient paintings hanging on the wall.
One is the "Tai Chi Diagram", hanging in the east of the room, the picture scroll only has two yin and yang fish hugging each other, simple and mysterious, containing the origin of the universe, creating something out of nothing, two in one life, two in three, and three in everything.
Awakening and staring for a long time, there is an illusion, as if the yin and yang fish in the painting are alive, head and tail together, slowly rotating, revealing the true meaning of the cycle repeatedly.
The second is "Lao Tzu's West Letter to Guguan Map", hanging in the northwest direction of the room, the picture scroll is not known because of the age and yellow, or the picture itself, yellow and misty, like a sandstorm sweeping the entire sky and earth.
In the center of the picture is a huge, ancient pass, stretched across the yellow sandy realm, desolate and majestic, and the gray walls are covered with the traces of time and swords.
There is a copper plaque hanging on the city tower of the pass, which is engraved with three gilded characters - Hangu Pass!
Above the castle tower, a young man in white seemed to raise his arms and shout, as if a gust of wind could take him away.
Following the sight of the young man in white, above the picture scroll, in the sand sky, an old man with white hair and beard can be faintly seen, riding an old green ox, stepping on the wind and sand, and going to the sky.
This is a very strange feeling, the whole picture is yellow, the bottom of the picture is empty and the earth is missing, and the central part is the ancient and majestic Hangu Pass, and the upper part is the sky filled with yellow dust, and an old man rides a green ox to the sky.
The picture scroll seems to highlight Hangu Pass, and the old man looks as small as an ant in front of the vast sea of sky.
But in fact, it is not, "Lao Tzu West Out of Hangu Pass" highlights the old man who is as small as an ant riding a bull, and the pass that lies across the sand and earth world is Hangu Pass, and it is Yin Xi who raises his arms and shouts on the city tower.
Legend has it that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu rode a green ox and dragged a wooden cart to Hangu Pass.
Yin Xi, the guard of Hangu Pass, likes Taoism on weekdays, and has some Taoist roots.
Before Lao Tzu came, Yin Xi watched the stars and looked at the qi, and saw a purple gas coming from the east, so he deduced that there must be a real person coming.
When Lao Tzu drove the ox cart through the customs, Yin Xi decided that Lao Tzu was a true immortal, so he forced Lao Tzu to stay for a few days, and summoned the soldiers who had quite a lot of roots in Hanguguan to listen to Lao Tzu give them a lecture.
Lao Tzu was gracious, opened the altar to preach, and left Yin Xi to leave a "Book of Heaven" of more than 5,000 words, which was later the Taoist ancestral classic - "Tao Te Ching"!
When Lao Tzu was leaving, he told Yin Xi that he wanted Yin Xi to go to Chengdu Qingyang to find him after a thousand days.
A thousand days later, Yin Xi was waiting for Lao Tzu in the Qingyang Shop on time, only to see Lao Tzu riding a green ox and descending from the sky.
Later, legend has it that Lao Tzu was there to transform Yin Xi into an immortal, and took him to the Western Regions to preach to the disciples of Buddhism. And in the place where Lao Tzu turned Yin Xi, there is still a poem: the west sends a letter to worship the Buddha, and the east comes to the Lu country sage ginseng.
"Lao Tzu West Letter Guguan Map" is based on the legend of Lao Tzu West out of Guguan painting, the meaning is profound, everyone has everyone's views and opinions, can help people to enlightenment!
Awakened and stared at "Lao Tzu's West Letter to Guguantu" for a long time, it seemed that he had some understanding, his own views and opinions, and he had gained a lot.
The last one is "Portrait of Taishang Laojun", which should be a portrait painted by Taoist descendants for Taishang Laojun.
For Taishang Laojun, there is no need to say much, he is the founder of Taoism, that is, Daode Tianzun, one of the three Qings of the highest patriarch of Taoism, and a saint of Tiandao. Also known as: Lao Tzu, Taishang Dao Ancestor, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Mixed Yuan God, Birth Tianzun, Kaihuang and the End of the Emperor.
There are too many legends about Taishang Laojun, even in the Three Realms, it is also the existence of legends, that is, the Jade Emperor and other supreme beings in the Three Realms, and it is rare to see Taishang Laojun.
There are even great reverences under the strongest, including several supreme beings of the Three Realms such as Taishang Laojun, all of whom are imaginary, leaving the Three Realms and exploring whether there are other worldly realms in the long void.
This rumor has been greatly affirmed in the Three Realms, because the strongest person above the Great Venerable is silent and has not spoken out to deny it, it is possible that the Great Venerable speculated to be true!
In fact, very few people have seen the true face of Taishang Laojun, almost no one knows about it since ancient times, and the portrait is only painted according to the most credible rumors.
The Taishang Laojun in this "Portrait of Taishang Laojun" has a childish face, ruddy face, a kind expression, and a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. The name is famous, and the name is not famous".
Taishang Laojun was wearing an apricot yellow robe, his hair was tied in a bun, his sideburns and beard were floating, his sleeves were flying, sitting cross-legged, with auspicious clouds behind him, and a few Taoist treasures floating in front of him.
A Taiji diagram, a flat crutch, a wind and fire blanket, a Qiankun map, a diamond bracelet, a heaven and earth Xuanhuang exquisite pagoda.
The Taishang Laojun in "Statue of Taishang Laojun" is very ordinary, there is no golden light of immortals, there is no rotating vast starry sky, and there are no hanging billions of auspicious rui, just like an ordinary old Tao, but his every move is full of Taoist rhyme, in line with the truth of "Tao".
"What is this?"
Su Xing did not feel anything in the "Portrait of Taishang Laojun", but he smelled a trace of incense on the scroll, indicating that this "Portrait of Taishang Laojun" painting has been worshiped by incense and descendants.
"I see, I understand your identity, old man. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he successfully found clues on the three scrolls.
It is very obvious that the old man who weaves bamboo is a real Taoist priest, and he should worship under Taoism, which is one of the three religions and nine streams, and he will not know which sect and sect of Lu Dao is.
"The old man who weaves bamboo is a Taoist priest, where did he come from? Could it be that he broke the vows, so he was expelled from the school? However, Taoism does not explicitly stipulate that you cannot marry a wife and have children, and you don't necessarily have to quit if you have no desires.** I didn't expect it, the old man who looks old-fashioned and serious on weekdays is actually a Taoist priest!"
"Don't babble!"
At this moment, a serious voice suddenly came from the door.
Su Xing's face changed, and he hurriedly looked over and found an old man appearing at the door.
The old man who weaves bamboo!
"Aren't you going out!" Su Xing exclaimed, "No, you're not the body, you're the primordial god?"
"Little ghost, it's a bit smart. The old man smiled lightly, and did not deny the statement of awakening.
"Sure enough, I should have thought of it!" Su Xing said in a deep voice, his body tensed, and he cautiously looked at the Yuan Shen of the old man who braided the bamboo.
There is no time to be annoyed at this time, and the most important thing in front of him is how to deal with the Yuan Shen of the old man who weaves bamboo in front of him!
"Ha Lu Ha. ”
The spirit of the old man who weaves bamboo seems to be different from the body, not unsmiling, with a black face. He laughed loudly twice, ignoring the awakening, and came to the "Statue of Taishang Laojun" as if no one was around, looking up and staring.
"As you guessed, I'm a Taoist disciple. The original god muttered, as if talking to himself, as if talking to the awakening.
"Yes. ”
Su Xing nodded, looking at Yuan Shen, confused.
"Taoism is not a monolith, but there are many schools. And I come from the Laojun Sect under Taoism, and the doctrine does not say abstinence, and firmly believes in Taoism and nature. Yuan Shen whispered, and suddenly said in a shocking voice, "Do you know the Dao? Actually, Qinglian is not my own granddaughter!"
(Xiaohan, everyone should pay attention to adding clothes to keep warm.) )
