041 Back to Knowing the Ancestor in Movement and Stillness
In Taoist legends, immortals often have no distinction between humans and gods. For example, Wang Xuanfu, Zhongli Quan, Lu Dongbin, Liu Cao, and Wang Chongyang, the "Five Ancestors of the Quanzhen Sect, were among them. Zhongli Quan and Lu Dongbin were both figures that existed in real history, and one of the Eight Immortals in folk legends. The legend of the Eight Immortals began in the Tang Dynasty, and at that time there were "Eight Immortals Pictures" and "Eight Immortals Legend", but the surnames of the Eight Immortals were particularly changed to the Song Dynasty. In the "Travels of the East" by Wu Yuantai of the Ming Dynasty, the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" was first designated as Tieguai Li, Zhongli of Han, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu.
Nowadays, most people have only heard of "Journey to the West", but have never heard of "Journey to the West". In fact, there are two books, one written by Wu Chengen, which tells the story of Sun Wukong making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace and being subdued by the Tathagata Buddha, and later protecting the Tang monk to obtain scriptures in the West. These are already known to all women and children. The other book "Journey to the West" is written by Qiu Chuji, a disciple of Wang Chongyang, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen and the ancestor of the Taoist Longmen Sect. It tells the travel notes of Qiu Chuji who led his disciples to travel west to the desert and meet Genghis Khan. Qiu Zu's remains are still in the Qiu Zu Palace in Baiyun Temple in Beijing.
The tendency of suppressing Taoism and promoting Buddha in "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen is very obvious. In the section where Sun Wukong makes a fuss about the Heavenly Palace, he buried the Taishang Laojun enough! The supernatural powers described by Tathagata Buddha are extremely powerful! The Taishang Laojun's position in Taoism is very high, no less than that of Tathagata in Buddhism. The human incarnation of Laozi, Laozi, has a status in the entire history of human thought and civilization, especially in the history of China and East Asian culture, should be said to be far higher than that of Shigamani in India. Therefore, many people like the stories in "Journey to the West", but they do not like their most superficial themes.
The Eight Immortals’ status in Taoism is far less than that of Taishang Laojun, but they are not very famous among ordinary people. Many people have never heard of Laozi riding a green cow from Hangu, but almost everyone knows that the Eight Immortals cross the sea. Taoist temples like Qiyunguan are actually relying on tourists’ wallets. What the people like is the Taoist priests are willing to contribute. When they rebuilt Qiyunguan, the master of the temple and Taoist Chen insisted on building an East Tour Hall in the East Courtyard.
A famous local second-rate painter in Wucheng asked a large mural of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The characters in the painting are as big as a real person, and each of the eight immortals shows their magical powers and forms. It is said that the eight immortals on the murals in this hall are all magical. As long as tourists buy the Eight Immortals Talisman in the Taoist Temple, choose the portrait of one of the Eight Immortals in the East Travel Hall to make a wish, and then go outside the hall to burn it by a special Taoist priest, you can do everything smoothly like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. In fact, these are all tricks to make money in the Taoist temple.
The portraits of the Eight Immortals are lifelike, but they are too lifelike! I think the painter may have studied Western classical oil paintings, and the eight Immortals painted them are not out of the world, but a group of handsome men and beauties, perhaps because of too many human body art. Especially the Fairy He, it doesn't look like a god crossing the sea, but it looks like Venus's bathing. It is said that later, the Jiulin Zen Temple in Wucheng also added a mural of the South China Sea Guanyin on the back of the temple's niche. At that time, there were not many people in Wucheng who made murals, so I also wanted to invite the painter. The host of Jiulin Zen Temple, Zen Master Fayuan, went to Qiyun to watch the mural, but after he came back, he changed his mind and did not dare to invite the painter to paint Guanyin Bodhisattva no matter what! But the monks don't like it, which does not mean that tourists don't like it.
On this day, in the East Travel Hall, there were still many tourists holding the Eight Immortal Talismans and bowing their heads to make a wish. There was still the most people in front of He Xiangu. At this moment, the entire mural suddenly made a mute sound, and it seemed that the walls were trembling. Then, a big hole was knocked out from under the thighs of He Xiangu's thighs wearing a translucent gauze skirt. A man fell in with a floor of broken bricks and stones in the hall! Everyone was shocked, and a young woman screamed and jumped into the arms of a bald man. The flexibility of the movement seemed to be practiced many times.
The person who broke through the wall and fell into the hall was I, Shi Ye!
Everything happened too quickly, and it was all in the flash! First, I rushed to Zezhong to play a scoundrel, but Zezhong was even more scoundrel than me. He secretly launched the Lingshou Seal in the chaos. I don’t know what this pig head thought? Maybe this despicable man was mentally retarded and actually hit a mirror with a red light; or I was lucky. The Qingming Mirror induced itself, blocking the red light and reflecting strangely back, and Zezhong was knocked to the ground! Zeren originally wanted to stop Zezhong, but in a hurry, he attacked me and waved his sleeves to knock me away. When I landed on the ground, I became wise and broke out from the wall - wasn’t it just a big deal!
I fell down with a piece of dust and bricks and stones, and found myself falling into a hall. In front of me was a mural of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. A large hole was knocked out by me at the lotus position under He Xiangu, and the light outside the wall shone in. The power of this "broken wall man" was indeed quite powerful, and fortunately it did not hurt the person behind the wall. I lay on the ground, shook my head, moved my hands and feet, and felt that I was not injured. At this time, everyone inside and outside the wall cave made various exclamations and screams. I was about to get up when I suddenly heard the sound of several people shouting-
"Senior brother, it's not good! Senior brother Zezhong holds his breath - save him!" This is a little Taoist priest exclaiming to his fellow disciples. I was surprised when he heard this. I had personally learned the power of the Lingshu Seal. The red light reflected by the Qingming Mirror was hit by the red light in the Zezhong. I don't know what the consequences are? If there is any reason, will this account be calculated on my head? At this moment, I heard a loud and sharp voice shouting: "No! Something big has happened! Everyone, go and see! The Taoist priest in Qi Yunguan is hitting tourists! It's a life-threatening person-"
This man was so angry that with just this voice, the entire Taoist temple heard it! People's footsteps rushed towards the East Travel Hall. This sentence seemed to remind me something? It seemed that someone was secretly setting these things! I simply closed my eyes, closed my breath at the same time, and lie on the ground to pretend to be dead. In the eyes of tourists around me, I broke through the wall, then struggled a few times, and then lay on the ground and stopped moving! - Qi Yunguan was so upset.
The first person who rushed to me was nothing but Teacher Liu Fei'er. She came through the hole in the wall that I broke open. Seeing me lying on the ground without moving, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do. She lowered her body, held my upper body in her arms, touched my forehead with her hands, and exclaimed in her mouth: "Shiye! How are you doing? Wake up and wake up! Don't scare the teacher..."
Teacher Liu was probably a little scared. I didn’t have a cold or fever. What’s the use of trying my forehead? I was half-held in my arms, my left ear was pressed between her breasts, and I could hear the sound of her heart pounding. Suddenly, I was really a little dazed, and I felt that all the sounds around me had disappeared. I could only hear this heartbeat in my ears! I smelled the scent of her body on my nose, and my cheeks were squeezed between her plump breasts through my clothes. For the first time, I was so close to her in reality, and I could feel her warmth and softness when I was close. This has always been a secret buried in my heart.
My eyes were squinting. Looking through the cracks, Teacher Liu looked anxious, his pretty face turned pale, and his forehead was sweating. It turned out that she cared about me so much? I was really worried about me? Then it was worth it even if I was really injured! Looking at her appearance, I suddenly woke up and remembered the surrounding environment. In fact, the trance just now was just a moment. I couldn't bear to make her worry so much, but since I wanted to "pretend to death", I had to pretend for a while.
I didn't intend to eat Teacher Liu's tofu, but I have to admit that it's really wonderful to feel leaning in her arms. If you change the occasion, it should be a rare and ecstatic feeling in the world. At this point, I couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Taoist Zeren. I really thought of who saw whom, and I immediately saw Zeren.
Teacher Tang grabbed Zeren's collar of Taoist robe and pulled him through the hole in the wall. Old Man Tang was thin and came over as soon as he bowed. Zeren was tall and burly. Although he had unique skills, he could not do anything to him in front of everyone, so he could only let him pull him away. When he was drilling through the hole in the wall, his forehead accidentally touched the edge of the entrance of the hole, and broke a few bricks. The head of this Taoist priest was hard enough! Old Man Tang saw that I was "unconscious" in Teacher Liu's arms, and he didn't care about arguing with Zeren anymore, so he quickly let go of his hands and leaned over to see my situation. At this time, the East You Hall was almost filled with Taoist priests and tourists who rushed over after hearing the news, and even the yard on the other side of the wall was full of people. Zeren stood between the onlookers with an awkward look on his face.
The onlookers squeezed my surroundings so much that there were many people on tiptoe and looked anxiously inside, looking at me while asking, "What's going on? What's going on?"
Visitor A: "I don't know either. I heard someone calling for a Taoist priest to beat someone, and someone died. Everyone ran here."
Visitor B: "I heard it too, but I also heard that it was the fairy girl from Dongyou Hall who appeared..."
Visitor C: "Let me tell you, the Taoist priests here are not clean and stole a student's thing. They were found and they started fighting..."
Visitor Ding: "Students have something to steal? If you want to steal, you can steal Boss Wang and you... There are many people here, Boss Wang, you have your bag taken care of."
The onlookers seemed messy, but if someone stood on the beam of the house, they would find that there were levels in the chaos. Of course, in the middle were me, Teacher Liu, Teacher Tang, Taoist Zeren, and Chang Wu who came through the hole in the wall while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos. Among these people, only Zeren stood alone, and the others were squatting on the ground to look at me. On our periphery, including the other side of the hole, there were almost all Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and tourists with different behaviors and figures. These tourists were not like ordinary tourists, but those who surrounded me outside the crescent gate not long ago, that is, those practitioners who were hiding into the Taoist temple. No wonder, it was too crowded here, and I couldn't squeeze in front of me in a short while! Going outside, there were people who heard the news and watched the fun, and most of the students in our class were squeezed into the yard outside the hole in the wall.
Most of the onlookers who were crowded in the innermost were not me, but Zeren standing there. Someone pointed at Zeren and said, "See, it's the person he beats. The disciples of Zhengyi Sect are really good at kung fu. They just waved their sleeves and made a hole in the wall." "How is that child? It seems like a student, and the teacher holding him is a big trouble now..." "What's going on?" "Did you see the broken bronze mirror in the child's hand? Ju said that someone has regarded Qi Yunguan as a treasure and wants them to rob him if they don't want them to." "How could this happen? I said, brother, you don't have a guy in your arms, but be careful, don't let Zhengyi Sect rob him. How did this Zhengyi Sect become a trash..."
Listening to these words, Zeren's face turned red and white. He couldn't say anything about his pain. In fact, although he took action, he did not hurt anyone. It was okay when I landed, and I bumped the wall myself! He knew that I knew, and if there were any experts among the onlookers, I could see the flaws. But more people did not understand the mystery, and Zeren had no way to defend himself. Now most of the people standing near him saw the flaws and deliberately watched the fun there. Qi Yunguan made a big flaw this time.
Although Zeren complained in his heart, he probably knew that Qi Yunguan was in the wrong, so he stepped forward and leaned forward to see my situation, but was stopped by someone. This man was not tall, wearing a student outfit, shaved a small flat head, and was only sixteen or seven years old. However, Zeren looked surprised when he saw him, took a step back, lowered his hands and shouted respectfully: "Uncle Master, why are you here?"
The person who stopped Zeren was Shang Yunfei, a classmate from our class. Shang Yunfei is a disciple of Ge Jujizan Living Buddha in Guangjiao Temple. This old lama is 98 years old this year and has a common friendship with Zeren's master. Although Yunfei is not old, he is quite old in Wucheng cultivation world, and Zeren also knows him.
Shang Yunfei stopped him and said, "Ze Ren, it's you? Did you hurt someone and hurt my classmate?"
Zeren waved his hand quickly: "This is a misunderstanding. It's important to save people now. I'll go and see his situation. It should be fine. But my junior brother Zezhong is really injured!"
Yun Fei also understood what Zeren said, that is, I was not really injured. But the few people around me didn't understand. I was panicked and at a loss. Now Zeren reminded them when he spoke. Teacher Tang was the first to react: "Let's talk about it back, hurry up and find a place to call an ambulance, and take Shi Ye to the hospital first..."
Then Chang Wu shouted, "Teacher is not good, Ishino is not breathing!" Of course, I didn't breathe anymore, and kept shutting down!
This shout woke Teacher Liu up. She wiped my breath with her hand and said in a crying voice: "What should I do? Hurry up and give him artificial respiration!" Then she put me flat on the ground and unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt.
Artificial respiration? The mouth-to-mouth type! Teacher Liu wants to do it for me? For some reason, my face suddenly turned red. I was a little scared, and I felt a little guilty when I lay on the ground pretending to be dead and deceived Teacher Liu. But at the same time, I had a little desire in my heart, and in short, my heart started to dance again!
"Teacher Liu, let me do it! You see, his face turned red." This was Chang Wu's volunteering voice. As he said, he pressed my chest with his hand and his mouth came up. Damn! Why is it him! This kid didn't brush his teeth in the morning! Even if I wanted to pretend, I couldn't pretend anymore. I quickly breathed a sigh of relief and looked like I had just recovered, but my eyes were not closed yet.
"Ishino has resumed his breathing!"
"Thank God... why haven't he woke up yet?"
"I know why, he was overly frightened. I saw this situation when I was a child. I could wake up by slapping a few times. Let me hit you." Feng Junzi was speaking. He was also out of the crowd at some point. The boy walked quickly. When he rushed over, he kicked me up. He squatted down and waved his hand. It seemed that he was really going to hit him.
He meant that he wouldn't let me pretend anymore! He hadn't seen him since he entered Qi Yunguan. He didn't even appear until now, and he didn't know what he was doing. Seeing that his hand was about to fall, I quickly opened my eyes and looked confused: "Feng Junzi, Teacher Liu... Why am I lying here?"
When the few people around me woke up, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could speak, a little Taoist priest got through the hole in the wall and stood behind Zeren, whispering: "Senior Brother, something is wrong! Someone just took advantage of the chaos to break the Demon-Subduing Array and steal the auspicious beast..."
The sound was very low, as thin as a mosquito ants. If it weren't for my extraordinary hearing, I wouldn't hear at all! But there were obviously more than one person in the crowd around me with sharp ears and ears. I just felt that everyone was making low screams, which sounded like a buzzing noise! Someone immediately turned around and squeezed out, and the person who surrounded the front walked away in an instant.
I was also shocked! Someone took advantage of the chaos to steal Xiu Xiu? Who? In a hurry, I sat up on the ground, which scared Teacher Liu and the others. Feng Junzi reached out to hold me and squeezed his eyes at me, laughing secretly. I suddenly realized that it must be this kid who did it!
Zeren was shocked and turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Chang Wu who stood up: "What, the stinky Taoist priest, do you want to run away after hitting someone?"
Teacher Tang also stood up and grabbed him: "I want to leave, it's not that cheap. It's okay for my student to say nothing, but if there is something to do, I won't finish it with you..."
Teacher Liu helped me and stood up: "Old Tang, don't worry about anything else first, take Shi Ye to the hospital..."
I quickly spoke: "No, no, I'm fine..."
At this time, Feng Junzi suddenly spoke to the crowd: "Get out of the way, the doctor is here."
Looking out, two people in white coats walked in with a pair of simple stretchers and walked in. While walking, they said, "Get One Rang, Let One Rang, I heard that someone was injured here. We are doctors at the medical center of the scenic spot."
When the two teachers saw that the doctor was coming, they quickly helped me over: "Doctor, I'm here, hurry up and send him to check..."
Chapter completed!
