Chapter 2245 Buddha in prosperous times, Tao in troubled times (Part 1)
My whole body is hot and my virtual fire is strong. Looking at the slender waist and perky little buttocks of the maid, I feel ready to move...
Fang Jun felt something was wrong with him.
I wanted to send someone to ask an imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, but suddenly I felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was an indecent thing to do. After sitting for a while, the symptoms did not improve at all, so he got up and took several generals with him, rode his horse back to Zhongnan Mountain, and went straight to Sun Simiao's medicine house.
When he arrived at the door, he remembered that Yuan Tiangang's awesome nose might still be here...
If you think about it carefully, hiding all the time is not an option,
Fang Jun is a big living person. Could it be that he has to hide his name and escape overseas just to avoid Yuan Tiangang? As long as he is still in the Tang Dynasty, relying on Yuan Tiangang's energy, he can always be found.
Avoiding is not the answer, you can only face it bravely and be tough!
What about Yuan Tiangang?
Even if you don’t believe your nonsense, some people will believe it!
He stepped forward and knocked on the mountain door. After a moment, there was the sound of footsteps inside the door, and the two door panels opened from the inside, revealing a small head with a Taoist bun, which was the same little Taoist priest from last time.
The young Taoist priest with delicate features was stunned for a moment when he saw it was Fang Jun, and asked: "Fang's consort is here to see my master?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Otherwise, I can't find you? Why, your master is not here?"
The little Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said: "Master is of course here, but Master Yuan is also here. He was just talking to my master and there was some quarrel, so... that..."
Fang Jun understood that it was probably Yuan Tiangang's bull nose who was making trouble against him again and quarreling with Sun Simiao.
This little Taoist priest is a genius...
"It's okay. I have something important to discuss with my master. You can just introduce me."
"Oh..."
The little Taoist priest had no choice but to open the mountain door and invite Fang Jun in. Then he turned around and closed the door, leading the way to the open-air bronze furnace in the courtyard. The little Taoist priest glanced at the side room on one side and said, "Fang Jun is still here." Please sit down in the main hall first, and I will inform you about the master.”
Fang Jun laughed. Was he afraid that he would quarrel with Yuan Tiangang again?
However, he was indeed a little frightened by the "half-immortal" and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, little Taoist Master."
"Hee hee, please come here, my consort!"
He had probably regarded the profession of Taoist priest as a lofty ideal for a long time, and seeing that he was young and handsome, others rarely regarded him as a Taoist priest. Therefore, Fang Jun's words of "little Taoist priest" made him beam with joy.
Fang Jun shook his head and laughed. He was still a child after all...
The Taoist temple is not big, but the statue of Sanqing Taoist Lord is enshrined in the main hall.
The so-called "Three Pure Ones" are collectively referred to as "the Three Pure Realms, Three Realms of Nothingness and Nature". The three holy realms of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing respected by Taoism also refer to the three gods who live in the three pure realms, namely: Yuqing Holy Realm, the Supreme Enlightenment Chief Pangu Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Zhenjing Yuchen Daojun Lingbao Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Daode Tianzun, the leader of Hunyuan of all religions.
These are the three supreme gods of Taoism.
"Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiqing. They are the meaning of two, two, three, and three, all things. Three Qing represents the law of the generation of the great road. One Qi turns into three, and three combines into one. When used, it is divided into three, and the original principle is always one. . The Tao is transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones are combined into the Tao. The Great Tao is the root of creation, and the Great Tao is the foundation of education. The Tao is the master of all things. After the transformation of all things, the Tao becomes the true master of all things in the three realms and ten directions, maintaining the order of time and space and the order of the universe. The Tao is the master of all things. The Tao is invisible and gives birth to the heaven and the earth. The Tao is ruthless and moves the sun and the moon. The road is: God.”
The word "God" actually appears here. Isn't it amazing?
Yes, since ancient times, "God" has been a proper noun of Taoism and has nothing to do with the one in the West. "The so-called Haotian God is called Haotian if he has vast vitality. He is called Cangtian if he sees the sky from afar. He is respected by people. There is nothing better than the emperor, who is entrusted to heaven, so he is called God.”
The earliest occurrence of the word God in the classics is "Yu Shu·Shun Dian" of "Shangshu".
The first person to translate the Western supreme god as "God" was Matteo Ricci. This Italian who brought modern geometry to the East, after an in-depth study of Eastern culture, believed that the concept contained in the word "God" He could perfectly interpret the meaning of the Latin word "Deus (God)", so he took it for his own use.
Poor Chinese descendants, how many of them, when they hear "God", only know that he is the god of the West, but do not know that he is the supreme god in Eastern culture?
How sad!
Our Chinese culture has been occupied by doves and magpies' nests for many...
……
On both sides of the main hall, there are two elegant rooms, one with incense tables and talismans, and the other as an "alchemy room" for cultivating Taoism.
The little Taoist led Fang Jun inside, and then pushed him out to inform Sun Simiao. Fang Jun found a futon by the window and sat down.
This "alchemy room" is probably where Sun Simiao practiced Taoism. The interior of the house is simple and transparent, with low window sills and high windows. The swaying trees and rolling ridges can be seen outside. The burning sandalwood in the main hall is floating in the air, the birds are chirping outside the window, the wind is blowing the leaves, and there is nothing between the sky and the earth. In such an environment, it is indeed easy to achieve the state of returning to nature, pure heart and few desires.
People who have lived in the mortal world for a long time can sit here and drink a cup of fragrant tea, which will wash away all the filth in their bodies and purify their minds.
Fang Jun saw a low table under the window sill with a set of pottery tea sets on it. There was also a small stove and flint fire sickle next to it. He immediately stood up, rummaged through and found a can of tea. He took out the stove and carried it. A wooden bucket left the alchemy room, walked a few steps to find a small stream, filled a bucket with clear stream water, and searched for some dry branches nearby.
Back to the alchemy room, I lit a fire and boiled water, cleaned the gaps, and made a pot of tea.
There was a slight mountain breeze outside the window, the shadows of the trees were dancing, the air in the house was clear, and the fragrance of tea was thick. Fang Jun sat on his knees in front of the window, picked up the black pottery teacup and took a sip of the hot tea, savored it carefully, and slowly poured it into his throat. It feels like there is fluid in the bottom of the tongue, fragrance lingers in the teeth and cheeks, and the heat all over the body is relieved a lot in an instant.
“It’s a good one to enjoy!”
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and a mocking voice came.
Fang Jun sighed slightly, put down his tea cup, stood up, bowed his hands to the ground, and said, "I have seen Taoist Yuan before."
He had already run away, why did this old Niubi catch up with him?
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard with one hand and clasped the other behind his back, snorted and said: "No gift, no gift, no gift at all, even a seasoned person can't stand it!"
The words were hard to hear, but he walked a few feet away from the window, reached for a teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, squinted his eyes to taste it, and nodded in praise: "Not bad. Yes, this tea-making skill is much better than that of Sun Simiao!”
Fang Jun had a black line on his head: "..."
You yourself are a Taoist priest, but you call Sun Simiao a bullshit?
Isn’t this just pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey...
Well, all those who achieve something have special tempers and different personalities. He has met this world-famous "Yuan Banxian'er", who will be an old joke in future generations.
Since people don't pay attention to these false etiquette, Fang Jun doesn't have the habit of nodding and bowing, so he straightened up and stood opposite Yuan Tiangang, picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Yuan Tiangang, and said with a smile: "Sit down and drink the cool water, watch the simmering dust.
Wuyou holds a bowl and sends it to tea lovers.
”
Yuan Tiangang took the tea cup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, tasted it carefully, and then praised: "The tea is fragrant and poetic, and the poetry is simple. What Fang Erlang is holding is a wonderful person! No wonder a stubborn person like Sun Simiao can become like you." Good friends, interesting, interesting. ”
Smiling and sipping tea.
Fang Jun said: "How dare you be praised by our ancestors? You are a living god. In your life, you have traveled all over the land of China, and you have been able to guide the world and point out the stars. You have seen and heard countless things. I, a mere mortal of this generation, would not dare to enter your realm." Dharma Eye.”
Yuan Tiangang glared: "Hey! What a grudge-holding boy, why are you complaining about the old man?"
Fang Jun looked serious: "I dare not."
Is it more than just holding a grudge? Mother, if you dare to hold on to the "different facial features" again and again, do you believe that I will take advantage of the situation to put you in a sack and beat you?
Unexpectedly, today Yuan Tiangang did not get angry because of Fang Jun's disrespect. Instead, he sighed and said: "My disciple Chunfeng came here a few days ago and talked with the old Taoist about the current situation of Taoism. His words sounded absurd. , but after looking at it carefully, I feel that it is quite It makes sense. Nowadays, Buddhism is powerful. Although Taoism has been approved by His Majesty to become the state religion, it seems to be unable to do so in the face of the aggressiveness of Buddhism. I dare to ask Erlang, is there any good strategy that can reverse the situation? "(End of this chapter)
