"You...your name is Ye Fashan?"
Seeing that there was no problem with his wife, Li Zexuan turned his attention to his cousin again, paused, and asked in a low voice.
"yes!"
The young man nodded, cherishing his words like gold.
Li Zexuan swallowed and asked again: "Which law and which good?"
The young man looked at Li Zexuan strangely and paused for a while before replying: "The Dharma is not taught to the six ears. The highest goodness is like water. Water is good and benefits all things without dispute!"
Li Zexuan was finally shocked. He took two steps back, looked at the childish young man in front of him with horror, and murmured to himself: "Ye Fashan, you are really Ye Fashan!"
Li Zexuan had some luck before, thinking that it might be the same pronunciation but different words. At this moment, he was really confused. He never expected that his cousin turned out to be Ye Fashan? Ye Fashan!
In the Tang Dynasty, apart from Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who debuted relatively early, the most famous Taoist priest was Ye Fashan. He had so many disciples that a couple was rare in the history of Taoism. According to historical records, Ye Fashan had the skills of nourishment and divination. He had few family biographies, but was especially good at writing records. During the fifty years of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian, and Emperor Zhongzong, he traveled frequently to the mountains and was frequently called to the palace.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Ye Fashan completely became the leader of Taoism in the world. Not only was he respected by the world, including the emperor, for his superb Taoism, but he also actively participated in politics and helped Tang Ruizong Li Dan ascend the throne and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. After making great achievements, he was once named the "Heavenly Master Protecting the Country" and the Duke of Yue. The status of the Nanyang Ye family reached its peak!
In the tenth year of Emperor Ming's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Ye Fashan died at the age of 107 without any illness. It is said that the courtyard he lived in at that time was fragrant and full of fairy music, which further strengthened the theory that Ye Fashan had become an immortal.
Nineteen years after Ye Fashan's death, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Ye Zunshi's Inscription and Preface", which describes Ye Fashan's "snorkeling in the water house, flying in the fire house, disembowelling the intestines, cutting out the membranes of the eyes, recruiting ghosts, and running around the gods", etc. With his miraculous skills, Ye Fashan gradually became a god worshiped by Yuliu believers.
In official history, Ye Fashan was a human being and a great virtue; but in folklore, he was a god, a Taoist immortal with great supernatural powers!
Such an awesome "Celestial Master" and "Human Immortal" turned out to be his cousin?
At this moment, Li Zexuan's mind was a little confused. At this time, he had to sigh that his mother was really awesome. She was born in such a big family and had such an amazing nephew!
Ye Guozhong also noticed the movement here. He walked over, frowned, looked at Li Zexuan and asked, "Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the name Shan'er?"
To be honest, he originally referred to the "Book of Changes" and the Taoist principles of yin and yang and the five elements, and spent a lot of effort to come up with the word "dharma and goodness". How could there be a problem?
Li Zexuan came to his senses and waved his hands quickly: "Uh... no, no! This name is very good, very good! Grandpa, please sit down first, I... I will take my cousin around the house to get familiar with it. Environment~!”
After saying that, he dragged Ye Fashan out without any explanation.
............................
"Xiaoshan, how many years have you been practicing Taoism? Who is your master~?"
Outside the house, Li Zexuan did not take Ye Fashan to wander around the house, but came to the pavilion in the west courtyard to trick this boy!
After all, he was also very curious about the legendary Ye Tianshi. Moreover, most of the historical records about Ye Fashan were too fantasy and legendary, and Li Zexuan was somewhat doubtful.
"Cousin, please don't call me Xiaoshan!"
Ye Fashan frowned and said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I won't call you Xiaoshan!"
Li Zexuan was quite helpless when he met such a little kid who liked to be more serious. He could only change his words and said: "Well Fa Shan, how many years have you practiced Taoism? Who is the master~?"
Ye Fashan then replied: "Replying to my cousin, Fashan practiced Taoism at the age of four and has been practicing Taoism for more than eight years now. However, all the Taoism methods that Fashan practices are from home learning and he has not yet become a disciple! Fashan plans to leave from next year. In Nanyang, I traveled to famous mountains and resorts, looking for teachers to learn Taoism, and found transcendence in Taoism!"
Four generations of the Ye family have practiced Taoism, and they all use the secret practice of Yin Gong and the technique of impeachment to save things and help people. It can be said that it is a family tradition. Even if Ye Fashan does not go out, he can learn profound Taoism.
Before Ye Fashan, there were many famous Taoist priests in the Ye family, such as his great uncle Ye Jinneng, who was good at Taoism but also good at literature. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, he served in the Imperial Academy, offered wine to the emperor, and became a Taoist priest with more than a hundred disciples!
Ye Jingneng's status in the Taoist world even surpassed that of Ye Guozhong. "Old Book of Tang·Zhongzong Wei Shuren's Biography" records, "At that time, the son of the state offered wine, Ye Jing was good at the small magic of Talisman and Jin, Qin Ke was quite busy with medicine, and Guanglu Shaoqing Yang Jun served with food preparation. Entering and leaving the palace."
It can be seen that Ye Jingneng not only won the official position of the prince of the country because of his outstanding knowledge and Taoism, but also became a popular figure around the emperor and empress, "entering and leaving the palace", and his political status was extraordinary!
This is really a young and mature child! Li Zexuan muttered in his heart.
He didn't know what kind of education Ye Fashan received in childhood, and he could develop such a weird character. This was the Ye family's luck, but at the same time, Li Zexuan also felt that this was Ye Fashan's own misfortune, because this kind of openness A life of hanging means that you are destined to lose your carefree childhood!
Hearing that the child was going to travel alone next year, Li Zexuan was a little surprised. He said with a straight face: "Fashan, do your father and grandfather know that you are going to travel alone~?"
No matter how young and mature Ye Fashan is, he is still afraid of his father and grandfather. At this moment, he shrank his neck, and his face showed a rare guilty conscience unique to a child. He replied crisply: "What if you know, so what if you don't know?" Shan is determined to cultivate the Tao and save the common people, and no one can stop Fa Shan from going out to find the Tao~!"
What a stubborn little boy!
Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Fashan, if your parents are here, don't travel far away. Have you ever heard of this? You are still young, and you will inevitably encounter dangers when you travel. It is better to wait for a few years before considering this~!" "
Ye Fashan raised his head and said solemnly: "My father and mother are still in good health. It is a good time for Fashan to go out and travel to find his way! Besides, the love of relatives is not a small love, but saving the common people is a great love! There is no need for people in the world. Knowing how many people are suffering from diseases, Fashan is going to find the great road and come back to save the people! Dad and mother will definitely understand Fashan!"
All right! Li Zexuan, who had been in the Tang Dynasty for so long and was used to seeing all kinds of weird things, was still defeated by this weird and unusual young man in front of him! He opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly Lan'er's voice came from behind him: "Ah! Brother, you are here~!"
