Chapter 133: The moon is bright and the night, the sky ladder faces the palace (Part 2)

"How did you come to this Fusheng Valley? How did you meet Senior Tianyue?" Feng Junzi finally mentioned his and Tianyue for the first time, so I quickly asked curiously.

Feng Junzi looked at me sideways again, with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Mr. Zhang has checked my information, and you have also read those information. - Don't ask me how I know. The girl's external words are true or not. I just reviewed Zhang Zhi a few words, and she gave all the things her father did. I ask you, how did I record my whereabouts four years ago in that information?"

"I think about it, you were not in Wucheng during the summer vacation before you entered the second grade of junior high school. According to Mr. Zhang's information, you went to your second aunt's house. Your second aunt's house lived in a place called Wuguo County. There was a state-owned mine in the mountains there, and your second uncle was the leader of this mine."

Feng Junzi: "The investigation is really detailed. In fact, the Fusheng Valley is located at the border of the county of Wuguo County, and that mine is on the edge of this mountain area... I went up the mountain to pick strawberries that day, but I was inexplicably lost..."

Feng Junzi told me about his experience in summer four years ago. The child was naughty and ran to the mountain to pick strawberries but couldn't find the way down the mountain. As he walked, he came to a place he didn't know. Feng Junzi had been smart since childhood and was not so easy to get lost, but this time the situation was very special.

The place he went to could not see the direction of the sun during the day, and the trees, flowers and plants around him could not tell the north and south from the distribution of the canopy and branches. Feng Junzi was a little panicked. Fortunately, he found a mountain spring in the woods and found a mountain stream along the eye of the spring. According to common sense, walking along the stream in the mountains can usually quickly reach the place where people are distributed. Feng Junzi walked along the stream. It was not easy to take such measures at a young age.

But the stream eventually disappeared into a valley with no end. Feng Junzi didn't know why he could go so far in one day. The place he came to was Fusheng Valley. You can see Sanmeng Peak by looking up in Fusheng Valley. When Feng Junzi saw Sanmeng Peak, it was already dark. A twelve or three-year-old child was surrounded by darkness in the wilderness. At this time, he made a very embarrassing and natural decision - sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

As he cried, the surroundings suddenly became brighter, and a full moon rose on Sanmeng Peak. Although Feng Junzi was panicked at that time, he could still remember the days. He remembered that this day could not be a full moon night, and then the real moon could not be a real moon on the mountain. There are round things that can shine on the mountain, so there will probably be people! This kid is indeed different from most other children of the same age. Feng Junzi wiped his tears and climbed up Sanmeng Peak along the Ladder of Forgetfulness. He spent a night and finally passed through the Ladder of Forgetfulness. Just before the sun was about to rise in the early morning, he came outside the open gate of the Palace of Forgetfulness.

This is what he accidentally entered the Forgetful Palace. After hearing this, I asked, "Are you the senior Tianyue you saw like that?"

Feng Junzi shook his head: "It was several days after I met her. On the first day, I was tired, mainly because I stole food and slept for a long time. The next day, I was lost after wandering around the Forgetful Palace for a long time. On the third day, I happened to find Chengfengjie and discovered the mantras and mental methods of the Forgetful Palace - the 'Rongliu Dafa'. I fumbled and understood it myself, learned it, and then after almost three days and three nights of practice, the fairy appeared and met me... At first, I was shocked and thought it was haunted. Later, I found that this ghost was not scary, so I was not afraid."

I interrupted him: "Wait, there seems to be something wrong with what you said. First, how could you pass through the Yunmen fog array of the Forgetful Ladder at that time? Second, there is also a magic array for the Forgetful Palace to protect you, a child, how could you turn around in it? Third, isn't only women able to learn the Taoist Dharma of the Forgetful Palace?"

Feng Junzi: "Well, it's all the questions! You may not believe it when you say it, and even I don't know the reason - if it weren't for the fairy telling me later. She told me these reasons before expelling me from the palace, but at the same time she told me that this should be a secret, don't tell anyone else. So, I can't tell you!... Maybe it's all an opportunity. If I hadn't been growing up in old papers since I was a child, how could I understand the ancient words in the 'Renile Dafa'?... In fact, although I learned it, I didn't really practice it."

"I still didn't understand!"

Feng Junzi: "Of course I can't tell the secret that the fairy didn't let me tell you. Even if the secret is my own. Also, you are not the descendant of the Wangqing Palace, so you shouldn't inquire about the secrets in the Wangqing Palace."

"Okay, I won't ask for a secret, it's okay to ask something else? - You said in person that Master Tianyue didn't know you were a man at first, so were you dressed as a woman?"

Feng Junzi: "This is a very interesting misunderstanding. In fact, if I didn't speak out four years ago, I'm afraid the Forgetful Palace is mine now. It's not that the fairy didn't know, but that she didn't expect that I would be a man. No man has been able to learn romantic skills for thousands of years. So she thought I was of course a woman without thinking."

"This is a bit too unreasonable, right? There is always a difference between men and women. You can't see how you look?"

Feng Junzi asked a strange thing: "Ishino, have you ever seen a man?"

"No, of course I've seen it, aren't you?"

Feng Junzi: "You are right! You have seen men, and someone told you what kind of people are men, so you can know men. If you have never seen men, and no one told you what men should look like, what will happen?... Besides, I was young and had not developed much at the time, and I never took off my clothes and took a bath in front of the fairy.... Fairy Tianyue had never seen anyone except the ancestor. She only knew that there was a concept of men, and she knew that there was a kind of person in the world called men, but she didn't treat me as that kind of person."

I was shocked by these words. It sounded bizarre and absurd, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully. The whole story of Feng Junzi entering the Forgetful Palace was always mysterious in my guess, but it was so simple and a little ridiculous when he said it. There were a few other twists and turns that I couldn't understand, but he didn't want to say it. I smiled and asked again: "How did Master Tianyue find out that you were a man? Did you run naked in the Forgetful Palace?"

Feng Junzi: "What nonsense!... I told her on my own initiative... You have never been to Sanmeng Peak, which is simply another world. When I entered the Forgetful Palace at a young age, I almost forgot everything. I played there for a month. Later, one day I suddenly woke up and thought about how I came from? My relatives and family must have been looking for me everywhere. I told the fairy that I was going back. The fairy asked me if I would come back in the future, do I want to come again? Of course, I said yes, and said yes! She told me that I had learned the Taoist method of the Forgetful Palace, and if I became a disciple of the Forgetful Palace, I could come often. I was very happy to agree, so the fairy held an introductory ceremony for me. It was a problem with this introductory ceremony."

"What's wrong? Master Tianyue found out that you are a man?"

Feng Junzi: "I have also held the introductory ceremony for you. The rough process is almost the same, but the formal ceremony is just complicated. After worshiping the heavens, the last step was to take the precepts. The fairy told me the first time that the rules of the Wangqing Palace were to accept women. One of the rules of the sect is to accept women. After hearing this, I immediately asked - 'How can this be? I am a man?' As a result, Fairy Tianyue was also stupid... The introductory ceremony was not completed, and I was driven out of the Wangqing Palace."

"The entry ceremony has become an outing ceremony, and you are also unlucky enough! Can I ask more, how could there be so many strange rules in the Wangqing Palace? What I am talking about is not only taking women, but also the rules that are not passed on by one palace to establish nine gates, and the rules that are not passed on by this sect?"

Feng Junzi raised his hand and pointed at the towering Sanmeng Peak: "If there is such a big mountain, there are nine roads to go up the mountain. I have pointed out all these nine roads to you, how can you get up?"

"I can't go up the mountain from nine roads at the same time, I can only choose one that I think is the best way to go."

Feng Junzi nodded and said, "This is the truth of the worldly path. When you finally stand at the end of the peak, the nine different roads gather at your feet to become the same end. If your practice reaches this state, you can lead later generations to the mountain from any road, because you have reached the goal of each road... Then, let me tell you, why are there any rules that this sect does not pass on?"

"This is a measure, a standard, and a test for inheriting the descendants of the Forgetful Palace. If she does not lead her disciples to the mountain from the same road, it means that she has surpassed the realm of one of the nine sects. The rules that this sect does not pass on are also a limitation on the qualifications of disciples to pass on the Dharma. She is not qualified to teach others before she has surpassed the realm."

Feng Junzi: "Basically, everything is right. What you didn't say is the rules of Wangqing Palace, which you don't need to know... If it weren't for the strange practice rules of Wangqing Palace, I laid such a magical and rare foundation as soon as I got started. Later, I wouldn't have the ability to create the "Four Gates and Twelve Levels of the Tower" and the "Three Dreams of the World" to pass it on to you... Do you have anything else to ask?"

"If it is something I shouldn't ask, I won't ask, and I don't have to tell me if I ask you. I just want to ask the last question - why Master Tianyue didn't come out of the Forgetful Palace? Why didn't she see other guests? It's too boring to stay in the Forgetful Palace alone! With her so high level of cultivation, isn't it good to go out to save the world and save people? I think that all capable masters should do this."

Feng Junzi lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he looked up and asked me a strange sentence: "Shi Ye, will you go to help the ants move when it rains?"

"No, but when there is a flood, I will go to the dam to rescue."

Feng Junzi smiled: "You are in the rescue, and my father is also in the rescue, but I have implicated me to lock up the immortal Yunzhong! The next year, Liqiaowei was still broken... I don't know what the fairy thought, but I grew up in the market and went to Sanmeng Peak to practice in person. I know that feeling."

"What does it feel? Looking back at the sentient beings in the world on Sanmeng Peak is like watching an ant move on a rainy day?"

Feng Junzi: "You can't say that completely. In short, you can't describe it. You must understand it like this. Think about it, these people have to eat three meals every day, sleep every night, get sick and get injections and medicine. They run around one day after another, earn money when they go to get off work and work, and have any problems. They have to fight for fame and fortune when they get married and have children. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, the children are praised by parents for going to school and exams, and the adults are criticized by others to serve the leaders... If these things are told to the fairy, they are unimaginable in her eyes, and these people are not her kind at all... Of course, I am just guessing. From the perspective of the fairy, what do you think should it feel?"

I also laughed: "The people you are talking about are the people around you and me. They really have nothing to do with the world on Sanmeng Peak. Although I have never been to the Forgetful Palace, I can imagine it. There is one thing I misunderstood before. Learning Taoism is not learning Lei Peak. With the power to surpass mortals, you don't have to do things in the world. It would be great to be harmed by the world."

Feng Junzi: "This is actually a transcendent state. People often make mistakes in their understanding of the state, such as those American superman movies. If a person is a person, will he look for the pleasure of galloping in the ant nest? Will he be proud of his intelligence in the monkey group? If practitioners can practice to the end, they will face this problem, so they must eventually solve the proposition of pursuit. It is precisely because of this that the predecessors in the world will set the three major precepts in the world... Ishino, I will ask you a question now - why no one in this world has ever seen a real immortal?"

The question he asked was so wonderful that he finally led our long conversation to a very core content. Why hasn’t anyone seen a real god? If an ordinary person meets Master Tianyue, what is it if he is not a god? I thought about it and replied: “According to logic, there are only two possibilities. One is that there are no immortals at all, and the other is that practitioners will never go back after becoming immortals.”

Feng Junzi: "What you learn is the Tao of alchemy. What you pursue is immortality and ascension to become an immortal, so you can't talk about the first possibility. There is only one question left, why don't the immortals go back ascend to the sky?"
