In ancient times, the Eastern world was a vast ocean. Following the great changes, endless mountains and rivers emerged on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, which nourished the vegetation and multiplied all living things. Therefore, the most mobile primate, human beings, who live and die forever, monopolize the huge material world. The material world is an illusory projection of the spiritual world. Because it is so diverse but infinitely wonderful, many people are addicted to it, trying to own the world and conquer it to become hegemons. In this way, there is a war between you and me, in order to win the so-called material world. Wealth, in addition to human beings preying on the weak, the strong is the king, and the loser is the bandit, often affects alien creatures and even earth, stone, vegetation, and trees. As a result, greed, anger, and ignorance appear in humans and alien creatures, and there are also irresistible evils in nature that are affected by water, fire, wind, and insects. All kinds of disasters.
However, there is also great righteousness between heaven and earth. For example, the teachings of the sage Confucius two thousand years ago and the long-lasting compassionate religion of Sakyamuni have made the world feel great grace. But the battle between truth, goodness and beauty and falsehood, evil and ugliness has never stopped. Therefore, karma, destiny, reincarnation, and the evolution of the six paths will never end. The poem says: There is no need to comment on the merits and demerits of a thousand years. Once you meditate, the wind and moon will be gone;
At this time, Wudang Mountain is covered with clouds and fog, and it looks like a pile of wrinkled gray and white clothes. As for what is hidden in the gaps, outsiders have no idea, and there is no need to find out. However, Master Miaoyi, who is known as an immortal, has a clear understanding of this. He can even see clearly that there is a nest of ants hidden in a rotten hole in a towering ancient pine.
At this time, he walked out of the Taoist temple and felt the aura of his disciple Tao Qinghu moving in the canyon. He usually taught Tao Qinghu not to draw gas when there was fog, because there was a miasma phenomenon. This kind of poisonous gas will damage the body and mind once infected-either you will suffer from mysterious diseases or get involved in evil ways.
Master Miaoyi knew that Tao Qinghu was weird and clever, so he went directly to accuse him. I'm afraid he would notice it if he didn't get close and pretend to be a businessman, so that you would have no reason to catch him.
In view of this, Master Miaoyi had to take out his treasure - an invisibility suit that he could see others wearing, but others could not see him. Speaking of the origin of this invisibility suit, it’s really unusual. In his early years, Miaoyi Zhenren, no, he was not a real person in his early years, but an ordinary mortal named Xiong Zi. Unlike most people, Xiong Zi had Compassionate feelings, especially not killing, even if he found a moth resting on the road, he would pick it up and place it in the grass or in a more environmentally friendly and safe place to prevent pedestrians from accidentally trampling it to death. Because he had done many similar good deeds, people who did not understand privately accused him of having a neurological problem, and even said one incident to prove that he indeed had a "problem." That time, when the villagers were using water to water the seedlings, the water in the pond was basically drained. There were many loaches in the muddy water. Others went into the pond to catch them to make dishes. He also caught them, but he caught them all and put them into the river. Some people said that he did something stupid, but he did not give a direct answer. He only said that I was thinking from the perspective of empathy. If I were a loach and someone caught me and took me home to cook, it would be death. Although it satisfies people's needs, It's a blessing, but it's very uncomfortable to die like this. In order to avoid the innocent loach's death penalty, I let the loach live. What's wrong with that?
Others laughed very hard and asked: Will you turn into a loach? After that, he was not allowed to explain, so he responded with a look of contempt.
But Xiong Zi still does this kind of good deeds. Many people think that helping people means doing good deeds, but they don't regard helping animals as doing good deeds. For example, if they find you releasing wild animals, especially those that are edible, others may even think that you are mentally disturbed and look at you strangely, making your movements very cramped. Xiong Zi was like this in the beginning. Every time he was released, others would discuss it for a long time, as if he had made some mistake. Later, in other people's impressions, he seemed to have corrected this "mistake". Only people saw him going to the market to buy those living animals, but they didn't see him releasing them. Doesn't this mean that he also started eating meat? Has been influenced into a normal person. But in fact this is not the case. His willingness to release his life and do good deeds over the past 30 years has shown a miracle.
One night, Xiong Zi shed tears quietly because someone saw him releasing a mud frog during the day and called him a fool. This remark reached the ears of his family, who also accused him of not doing such a "stupid thing". Frog meat is delicious and can be sold at a good price when it is on the market. Xiong Zi didn't explain, but secretly felt sad: He thought people who killed animals were too confused and didn't understand that killing animals was a chronic suicide. But he was also very depressed. Every time he released something, someone would always find it, and it would become a topic of conversation after dinner. At this time, he slowly dozed off. A cricket was chirping by the window. He was afraid that the rat on the partition wall would come to catch it and even hurt it, so he closed the door and hung the latch so that he could sleep. Feeling at ease. Gradually, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face came towards him and said with a smile on his face: Xiong Zi, don't worry, I will give you a set of clothes to wear, and I will ensure that others will no longer accuse you of your compassionate behavior. What kind of baby clothes are so effective? Xiong Zi didn't quite believe it. The old man stretched out his hands and caught a set of white clothes in his hands. He said: If I want it to change color, it will change to that color; if I want it to be colorless, it will be colorless. Xiong Zi looked at the white clothes and asked: Can it be so awesome?
meeting. The old man smiled and replied: If I let it turn black now, it will turn black. I saw the old man silently reciting the word "turn black", and the clothes seemed to be soaked in thick ink, suddenly like a pile of dark clouds. Suddenly, the old man covered his body with this suit of clothes, even covering the soles of his feet. He muttered something silently, and gradually disappeared without a trace. Xiong Zi asked him where he had been. The old man said, wasn't I right in front of you? When he said this, Xiong Zi felt a stream of air rushing towards his face, but there was no sign of the old man. It was so strange. Xiong Zi asked again and again: Old man, how did you become invisible? The old man laughed: You will understand if you think about it. Suddenly, Xiong Zi felt the old man patting his shoulder with his hand, making a "pop" sound, but he couldn't see the old man's hand. Xiong Zi grabbed his hand, but still couldn't see his hand, and could only see himself. hand. Xiong Zi said, Old man, I understand, it is this set of precious clothes that works.
Yes, the reason why you can't see me and I can see you is because I issued the "colorless" command. "Colorless" means transparent. I am invisible in the transparent air, so of course you can't see me. The old man said that if I give other instructions, you will be able to see me. Xiong Zi said: Just send a "turn red" command. The old man spoke according to Xiong Zi's thoughts, and sure enough, the old man's body seemed to emerge from a ball of fire, and his hand that Xiong Zi grabbed also clearly emerged. The two looked at each other and smiled under a bright sun.
After a long time, Xiong Zi touched the suit of clothes that the old man was wearing and said: Old man, you gave me such a good treasure, what should I do to repay you?
There is no need to repay you, just accept me as your teacher. Xiong Zi immediately performed three kowtows and nine bows. The old man helped Xiong Zi up and said: From now on, you will call me master. As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure disappeared. Xiong Zi shouted loudly: Master──where are you? Where are you─Master. The sound stopped, and the entire blue sky was like its echo wall, so vast and distant. But there is still no sign of the Master, only his voice echoing in my ears - Only when you become a monk in a Taoist temple will this set of precious clothes belong to you. At that time, I will give you the title of Master Miaoyi.
Xiong Zi continued to chase the old man, calling him master, shouting and chasing, when suddenly he was tripped by something under his feet and woke up. Xiong Zi opened his eyes and it was already dawn. After he got up and washed up, he was still thinking about the dream he had last night, especially the Master who paid homage to him in the dream, and he remembered the Master's words deeply. So he came to his father and knelt down on his knees. His father was a kind man and felt puzzled, so he asked Xiong Zi: My child, what are you doing? Xiong Zi said nothing, just cried. My father felt more and more strange, so he knelt down and asked, "What's the matter?" Say it!
Xiong Zi stammered out the reason, and his father basically heard it clearly, so he said: Silly boy, everything you dream about is fantasy, why should you take it seriously? Xiong Zi cried again and said that he had worshiped the master and believed that it was true. The father felt that it didn't matter whether it was true or false, and wanted to pull the child up. The child said: Father, if you don’t agree to my request, I will never be able to kneel down.
At this time, the sun was rising, and a floating cloud was lightly dispersed, which seemed to broaden people's mood. The father stared at Xiong Zi and asked: Son, what requests do you have? Xiong Zi said: If I say it, I'm afraid my father won't agree.
As long as it's not something illegal or disciplinary, my father usually won't stop it.
Xiong Zi burst into tears and smiled: Father, are you serious about what you say?
When did I not take anything I said seriously? His father helped Xiong Zi up, and Xiong Zi said casually: I want to become a monk in a Taoist temple. You won't object, right? The father was startled after hearing this, and then said: Monk, son, you have to think clearly. Xiong Zi said that he had thought it through and hoped that his father would not stop him.
This matter spread in the family, and someone gave Xiong Zi's family advice and asked him to have his fortune told. The fortune teller guessed according to the birth time of the newspaper that Xiong Zi was destined to commit suicide and should become a monk.
In this way, Xiong Zi's parents chose an auspicious day and sent Xiong Zi to a Taoist temple called Wulong Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River with tears. They gave some fruits to the Taoist temple. Afterwards, they accompanied Xiong Zi to kneel down and worship the bronze statue of Zhang Tianshi in the first palace. Light candles and offer incense. For a long time, his father explained his intention to the people in the Taoist temple. The Taoist priest carefully observed Xiong Zi's complexion and immediately agreed as if he was sensing something. Xiong Zi was then settled down, and his parents left with peace of mind.
That night, the Taoist priest dreamed that a white-haired old man said to him: There is a new Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. You must treat him well.
The Taoist priest knew who Xiong Zi was pointing at, so he nodded in agreement. The old man seemed worried, so he approached the Taoist priest and spoke in his ear, then walked away.
In the early morning of the next day, the Taoist priests heard the sound of brooms sweeping the floor. They saw that the steps and the courtyard were clean in sections, but no one was sweeping the floor. They asked what was going on. Just as the sound of discussion continued, The Taoist priest then said to all the Taoist priests: This is what Master Miaoyi did. He is the little Taoist priest Xiong Zi who came yesterday. Did you know that Xiong Zi has done countless good deeds, and was even criticized and ridiculed when he was doing good deeds? However, his faith did not change, and his will played an immeasurable role. The gods were moved and gave him an invisibility suit. Not only did he put on his invisibility suit to clean up, but he saw that the ground gradually became brighter and cleaner, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, everyone called him Master Miaoyi and asked him to quickly take off his invisibility suit and reveal his true form.
Why are you working in an invisibility suit? Everyone gathered around and asked him. He looked at the clean floor and said: I don’t want people to know about my work.
The Taoist priest smiled and said: You must all follow his example, he is accumulating evil virtue!
Master Miaoyi asked the Taoist priest not to praise him, but to do the consul work. The Taoist master arranged for him to take over from an old Taoist to guard the mountain gate. In fact, guarding the mountain gate is difficult or easy. The main purpose is to prevent thieves. Thieves generally don't sneak into Taoist temples inside the mountain gates to steal anything. Besides, the things stolen from Taoist temples are not easy to use. Once used, their flaws will be revealed. So what will the thief steal? There are several acres of fruit trees inside the mountain gate. When a believer was placing tribute in front of the statue of Zhang Tianshi, a Taoist boy suddenly touched one of the pomegranates placed on the altar table. He looked at it and thought: I might as well plant a fruit tree to the east of the Taoist temple. Later he realized this wish. When it was time for the fruit trees to bear fruit, he said to the Taoist priests: The fruits of this fruit tree are ripe for you to enjoy. But when I don't have time to come here to burn incense, don't forget to pick some fruits and put them on the table to worship the god General Zhang Tianshi. This was a long time ago. Although the believer has never been seen again, the fruit forest has been owned by the Taoist temple forever. Since it is rich in fruit every year, there are many thieves, so the responsibility of those who stay at the gate is extremely heavy. In addition, there is a vegetable garden to the west of the Taoist temple. Most of the Taoist people are very diligent, sowing, watering, topdressing, weeding, etc., so that the vegetables grow luxuriantly and gratifyingly. However, people often came to steal the food at the foot of the mountain, so the Taoist priest discussed it with other Taoist priests and worked together to build a small earthen house between the mountain gates, which was guarded by an elderly Taoist priest. Despite this, theft of fruits and vegetables still occurs frequently. Sometimes a group of people would come and try their best to commit thieves. They would leave a few people to chat with the guard, and use this as a soft drag, while the other group would go into the woods or vegetable gardens... but the guard was fooled.
It was mid-autumn when Master Miaoyi came to take over as the guard. He sits guarding the mountain gate, and others cannot see him at all, but he can see others. The thieves felt strange that every time they entered Taoist orchards and vegetable gardens to steal, they would be caught right before they started. They were considered to be very smart, but somehow they could not do it no matter how concealed it was, as if someone was watching in the dark. In fact, it was Master Miaoyi's invisibility suit that worked. Whenever Master Miaoyi saw a group of thieves, he would go to the Taoist temple to call for help. His whereabouts were never known to the thieves, so none of the thieves entered the orchards or vegetable gardens. Able to escape from the Taoist's grasp.
A thief named Tao Qinghu always felt that there was something mysterious here, so he pretended to be a believer and went to the Taoist temple to burn incense in broad daylight. As he was going back and forth, he noticed an unpredictable change. There was no one in front of the mountain gate, and no one in or near the orchards and vegetable gardens. However, as long as someone behaved inappropriately, he would be immediately discovered by the Taoist priests, and in severe cases, they would be tied up. Give him a lesson or send him to the government for punishment. I remember that there was at least one person guarding the mountain gate in the past, but now that there is no one guarding it, it is better than someone guarding it. No thief dares to act rashly anymore. Could it be that there are gods protecting the Taoist temple? But he still refused to fully believe in God. On a rainy day, Tao Qinghu deliberately went to the small room next to the mountain gate to hang out. However, when he grabbed a bamboo pole and was about to go to the orchard to knock fruits, the bamboo pole was firmly caught by something. , someone grabbed the other end, and he had to let go. The man suddenly appeared, a Taoist priest of medium stature and solemn expression, and asked: What are you doing? Tao Qinghu was very surprised and quickly calmed down: I'm sorry, I didn't know that Master Tao was here.
The Taoist said that people should behave themselves a little more. How can you avoid suspicion with this bamboo pole?
Master Tao, listen to me explain. I am not doing something dishonorable like you think with this bamboo pole. I intend to use it as a fishing rod. Tao Qinghu bowed his hands as he spoke, which reduced the Taoist's anger by half. He wanted to retaliate a few words, but seeing his humble look, he stopped saying anything. Tao Qinghu took advantage of the situation and said: Master Tao, can you tell me what method you used to make me unable to see you but you can see me.
Don't ask any more questions, I have no comment. You go! The Taoist immediately put on the colorless and invisible invisibility suit that obeyed the instructions, and Tao Qinghu could no longer see his face. But there was something gained, and I finally understood the real reason why many thieves were caught.
After Tao Qinghu came down from the mountain, he inquired about the whereabouts of the strange Taoist who was usually invisible. He went to the Taoist temple to burn incense and did not forget to ask about it, but most of the Taoist priests shook their heads or remained silent. He then thought about how to open their mouths. His mind finally clicked. One night, he brought valuable stolen goods stolen from elsewhere and gave them to the Taoist priest. He made the Taoist priest happy and talked about some common things with him. Finally, the topic fell on the Taoist priest guarding the mountain gate, and only then did he know his name and the name of the Taoist priest. The origin of the stealth suit.
