Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Six: The Teacher Comes Out of the Same Door
The group of people left Xizhimen in a mighty manner, and outside Xizhimen was Yuquan Mountain!
Because most of the drinking water in the palace is drawn from Yuquan Mountain, Xizhimen is also known as the Watermen!
After leaving Xizhimen for a few miles, the outline of Yuquan Mountain gradually emerged!
It was still early at this time, and the morning light was just beginning to dew and the fog was hazy. From a distance, Yuquan Mountain was hidden in the fog, and Longquan Temple was also in Yuquan Mountain.
After walking for more than an hour, Wang Shouren walked and followed him, but he was still not blushing and breathing. He was extremely agile and still walked very fast.
After walking for several miles, I arrived at Longquan Temple.
Outside this mountain gate, several Taoists built thatched cottages under the mountain gate, which seemed to be used as a special purpose for welcoming guests. When someone came, they thought they were ordinary pilgrims, but they didn't care.
Fang Jifan got out of the car and shook the fan. Several disciples followed each other. Wang Shouren was also stuck inside, which was very abrupt. Fang Jifan just glanced at him without saying a word.
At the warning of Fang Jifan, Xu Jing stepped forward and sent the Taoist to the Fang family's post to the guide.
The man looked surprised after reading the post. He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Jifan. It seemed that the other party had taken seriously and personally led Fang Jifan and others into the mountain gate.
I went up the mountain along the rugged mountain road and passed the Jade Emperor Hall. Although it was incense here, there were few pilgrims because it was early in the morning.
After leaving Laolu Hall and Qiuzu Hall, there were more Taoist people here. Several Taoist boys were guarding the entrance of the Yuedong that connects the side hall of Qiuzu Hall, and followed the Taoist people to whisper to them.
A Taoist boy said arrogantly: "Another place, it is the place where the master practices. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit. Just lay Buddhist Fang is required. Mr. Fang, please, Master, please ask the lay Buddhist to go to Sanqing Pavilion to speak."
Disciples and dogs are not allowed to enter.
Fang Jifan looked back and glanced at the disciples sympathetically.
But speaking of this, I came with a group of Confucian scholars, and it seemed that it was really a bit like a mess.
But seeing these Taoist boys was very fierce, Fang Jifan felt a little unhappy. You are even more fierce than Fang Jifan.
After hearing this, Ouyang Zhi and others stood up, looking as if they were waiting for the appointment outside. Wang Shouren was shocked. This master in the mouth of a child... Could it be Puji Zhenren? Puji Zhenren actually went to see this young master? Didn't Zhenren have been in seclusion and practiced, and have never seen a foreigner for many years?
At this time, Fang Jifan had entered the Yue Cave and entered the Sanqing Pavilion with the Taoist Tong.
The body of the Sanqing Pavilion is purely made of granite imitation wood structure, with six floors. The towers stand up and the clouds are coming. When you enter the pavilion, you will see relief patterns on the arched stone doors and windows, and corridors around them. The one leading up to the building is surrounded by spiral stone steps, which can be rotated up to the top of the pavilion.
Fang Jifan went up the stone steps, and along the way, he saw statues of Taoism, all of which were carved from white marble, with simple carvings, straight faces, and smooth and natural clothes.
It was all the way to the top of the attic where a man with white hair and beard seemed to have received a reward, waiting for him earnestly.
Needless to say, this person is naturally a metaphor for Taoism.
Yu Daochun originally invited Fang Jifan to Longquan Temple repeatedly, but Fang Jifan ignored him. He thought there was no chance, but he did not force him. But the more he read Fang Jifan's scriptures, the more he felt that this scripture was a priceless treasure and was shocked!
Helplessly, he had to say hello to the Ludaosi. The Ludaosi seemed to have made a request to the eunuch Wang Yan, who was beside the Empress Dowager through Tongzhengsi. Only then did he spend all his time and finally invited Fang Jifan.
Yu Daochun invited Fang Jifan to come, but in fact he just wanted to see who Fang Jifan was.
It can be seen that the real Fang Jifan was so young that he was so young. Although he was prepared for it, he was still a little disappointed.
Because this guy is so sexy, he is so furious, and he doesn’t look like a person who practices Taoism?
How could a person without a heart for Tao write such scriptures?
So Yu Daochun didn't have time to greet Fang Jifan and asked, "How can you explain it when you are pure and quiet?"
Fang Jifan wanted to laugh in his heart. This old Taoist priest seemed to be competing for himself.
Fang Jifan said directly: "I don't know."
"..." This is a bit embarrassing.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to see that the white beard under Yu Daochun's jaw is trembling.
Don’t know? Don’t know, then, how did you write this scripture?
He couldn't help but say, "Fellow Taoist hasn't dabbled in Taoism?"
Fang Jifan couldn't bear to lie to him, so he looked at Yu Daochun seriously: "No!"
Yu Daochun was so happy that he said happily: "This is a real master. The fellow Taoist is hidden deep and uncovered. Isn't it just that he is quiet and inaction?"
"..." Fang Jifan was really... confused.
This can also be explained? I am just telling the truth, but why has it become a quiet and incompetent?
However... Fang Jifan knew that this person was the key to the Empress Dowager's attitude towards him. Yu Daochun's theory school of Taoism is indeed rare. Now Zhengyidao is not a pure and useless job. Like the kind of people who don't mess around and don't disturb Taoist cultivation, belong to Quanzhendao. Zhengyidao is more concerned about entering the world, such as finding a female layman to have children, telling fortunes for others, and helping others to do rituals when they die, writing some talismans to exorcise ghosts, and occasionally they also work as part-time Fengshui masters, carrying compass to help others see Fengshui.
And this true man Puji obviously cared more about theory. This is an honest man among Taoist priests and is not very good at doing things.
Therefore, Fang Jifan still had some respect for Puji Zhenren in his heart.
Yu Daochun looked at Fang Jifan with a smile. He thought to himself that this little fellow Taoist said that he had never dabbled in Taoism, and he didn't know what it means to be quiet and inaction. It can be seen that fellow Taoist responded to the proverb of doing nothing, and it was difficult to continue to entangle Taoism with Fang Jifan.
He smiled and said, "Where does the Collection of Moral Sutras come from?"
He said, staring at Fang Jifan carefully, with bright eyes, as if observing the subtle changes in Fang Jifan's expression.
Fang Jifan smiled and said, "I thought of it again."
Anyway, it's all like this now, and he is thick-skinned and lying without any flaws.
Yu Daochun's wrinkled eyes suddenly emitted a shiny light, and said with a little surprise: "I just thought of it out of thin air? This... is too bizarre. Fellow Taoist, I will not hide it from it..." He paused and continued: "I have always had this question in my heart. The experience of this sutra is far above the current Taoist sects, but Fellow Taoist is really too young."
Fang Jifan knew in his heart that the True Man Puji was still testing him, so he smiled and said, "The word bizarre comes from the True Man's mouth. Don't you think it's strange?"
Yu Daochun was shocked and embarrassed...
Yes, he Yu Daochun does what he does, he is a person in the zongjiao world. He originally believed in gods, and his disciples make a living by catching ghosts. Now you say that you are bizarre, aren’t you going to ruin your own job?
Fang Jifan laughed: "But speaking of this, I actually got guidance from an expert when I was young..."
Although this old Taoist priest was speechless, Fang Jifan knew very well that he had to find a reason to convince him. Otherwise, looking at the appearance of this true man Puji, he would continue to ask why.
"Oh? Can you ask who it is?" Yu Daochun naturally broke the casserole and asked to the end. He seemed to be more interested in this.
Fang Jifan wanted to laugh in his heart, thinking that you were checking my details for the Empress Dowager.
So Fang Jifan said seriously: "Speaking of this...oh, that's a past story. At that time, I was only seven or eight years old, and then I met an old Taoist priest. When the old Taoist saw me, he grabbed me, muttered to me in a mess, chanting words like clear bones and wanting to accept me as a disciple. The real person thought that I was still a child and could not avoid it. But this man was so thick-faced, and he muttered that the gods came to earth and other things. He insisted on teaching me Taoism. I pinched my nose and learned a little, and he left, and since then he disappeared."
"..." Yu Daochun was stunned.
that's all?
You are a child, and people cry and shout to teach you?
"Oh? I wonder who this real person is?"
Fang Jifan said lightly: "I seem to have heard him say that he claims to be dangerous."
Wei Dayou is the original author of "The Collection of Moral True Sutras". Although he was born in the early Ming Dynasty, he has been around for more than a hundred years. If he were alive, he would probably be over 120 years old. However, no one has ever proved this. Fang Jifan said that he had learned from Wei Dayou, so he had this "The Collection of Moral True Sutras", which was considered to be perfect.
But when the word "wei Da" was just as soon as Yu Daochun said, Yu Daochun was stunned again.
His expression was extremely wonderful. At first, his face was stiff, and then his eyes became turbid. He grabbed Fang Jifan and asked anxiously: "When did you see him?"
"Five years ago!" Fang Jifan could not have imagined that Yu Daochun was extremely powerful and his wrists were a little hurt.
Yu Daochun choked up and said, "Master is still alive?"
Master...
Wei Dayou is Yu Dachun’s mentor…
This world is so small? Fang Jifan was so shocked that his chin was about to fall off.
In fact, Fang Jifan didn't know anything about Wei Dayou except that he was the editor of "The Collection of Moral Sutras".
Yu Daochun choked and said, "This Longquan Temple was created by Master... But Master suddenly went down the mountain forty years ago and there was no news anymore. I thought... Master had long died, but he never expected that he would still be alive."
Fang Jifan looked at Yu Daochun, who was over 70 years old, and thought about it again, if he was still alive, he would be afraid that Wei Dayou, who was 120 or 30 years old now... His mind was buzzing, and he suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, and he would not show any flaws.
Fang Jifan added: "I was alive five years ago, but now I don't know."
In Taoism, there are many secrets of becoming immortals or having a variety of longevity. Even if the master is a master who is a pure master, he will naturally be easily convinced that his master's longevity is a matter of course. Who can make his master's cultivation high?
