In the Central Plains of the Sheng Kingdom, there was a giant ridge sandwiched between the Sun and Moon Rivers, and among the countless mountains there was the "No. 1 Gate in the World".
It is the first "door", not the "first" door.
In the impression of the world, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism each have their own sects. For Confucianism, Changfeng Academy in Nan'an is the leader of Confucian scholars in the world, Xumi Temple in Hebei is the leader in Buddhism in the prosperous country, and Zhuqueshan Fuyao Sect is the leader of Taoism.
But in fact, Taoism has no concept of "reverence" at all. A real Taoism does not care whether it is "respect" or not. If there is someone who is closest to ascending, then this person is not in the Fuyao sect, but on another mountain. .
Haofeng Mountain and Tuanyun Temple.
A middle-aged Taoist priest was holding a wooden stick more than two feet long to poke at a huge banyan tree. In just a few breaths, a man fell from the branch.
The man who fell from the tree patted the dirt on his body, yawned and asked, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"
The Taoist priest under the tree didn't speak. He gestured to the other person like a mute, and then the person opposite patted his butt and jumped up and left.
This middle-aged Taoist priest holding a wooden stick is not mute. He can speak, but he is too lazy to say it. This man's common name is Guo Wei. As his name suggests, he talks nonsense and talks a lot. He is really like a "grasshopper". But since After he entered the Taoist sect, Tuanyun Temple, his master asked him to learn to speak less and gave him a Taoist title, "Speechless Son". Twenty years have passed and now he really doesn't want to talk. He relies solely on gestures to communicate with others. He can be regarded as a model of a gentleman who uses his hands but does not speak.
The man he stabbed from the tree was even more of a legend. He was already covered in silver threads at the age of 20. It is said that when he was born, his fetal hair was all white. His name was even more interesting than that of his senior brother Wuyuzi Guo Wei. Point - Dongfang Watcher, Taoist name is Bimengzi, and his hobby is sleeping. Although he is different from Guo Wei, a Taoist priest who became a monk on the way, he has entered Tuanyun Temple since he was a child, but his Taoist title was given by the same master. However, Guo Wei is really speechless now. He still insists on sleeping for six hours every day. hours.
As a "legendary figure", Dongfang Tuo, the insomniac, cannot become a legend just by relying on his extremely regular and unrepentant work and rest time. What really makes him feel legendary is that he is really talented - in other Taoist priests, it is impossible to become a legend. He was sleeping when he was studying Taoism, and he was sleeping when others were meditating on Taoism, but if he couldn't help it, his Taoist power would rise slowly in his dreams. Others were exorcising evil spirits, setting up formations and drawing talismans, making incantations, and inviting gods. They worked intensively for a long time and it was so lively. He just grabbed a handful of dirt and shouted at the top of his voice. He didn't even bother to use raw rice and cinnabar, and even kneaded it. The patrons of Yunguan were all amazed by his Taoist talent, which no one could match for hundreds of years.
Of course, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" says that "being and non-being complement each other, difficulty and ease complement each other, long and short complement each other, high and low are leaning against each other, sounds and voices are harmonious, and front and rear follow each other." Everything has two sides, which is incompatible with the growth rate of his Tao power. The other thing is that his understanding of "Tao Dharma" is simply catastrophic - because he can do everything, there are few bottlenecks and obstacles. In short, his life has been too smooth in the past twenty years, so the observation The Lord often lamented to him, "If your child was less talented, you would actually become a great person."
After Dongfang Watcher jumped up, he walked slowly towards his master's living room, with the expression on his face that he would never wake up.
"Sit down." The appearance of the master of Tuanyun Temple is similar to that of Wuyuzi Guo Wei, but his actual age is unknown, but he must be in his eighties anyway. He has an ordinary appearance. He has a peaceful demeanor. If he wasn't wearing a Taoist robe on this occasion, he could easily be mistaken for the uncle farming next door.
How come a Taoist priest in his 80s is the "master"? There are hundreds of Taoist priests in Tuanyun Temple, but it is the turn of this eighty-year-old to be the temple master and be regarded as the "teacher". There is naturally a reason - if there is anyone in the world who is closest to " If you attain enlightenment and soar," then this person is it.
Many people think that to ascend to the Tao and become a god, you have to learn the magic of moving mountains, filling seas, driving thunder and lightning, and that it is divided into several stages such as Qi training, golden elixir, Yuanying, and god transformation. In fact, this saying It's a bit ridiculous, because in theory if you are talented enough, you can practice at the same time or cross a certain stage. If you want to survive the catastrophe, there must be a standard for Tao power. But the most important thing in cultivating Taoism is not cultivation power, but cultivation power. It’s about cultivating the mind. In many story books, anyone can become a monk. Even the so-called ancestors of Yuanying and Daluo Jinxian are like ordinary people fighting to the death for some heavenly material, earthly treasure, and magical power. The only reasonable explanation for this is these The storybooks are all written by people, and they think that gods should be like mortals. However, one of the authors who wrote these storybooks has never seen a god at all.
Of course, gods are not Chinese cabbage, so they can’t meet each other, right?
Dongfang Watcher was not polite, he just sat down when Master asked him to sit down, and sat down on the futon, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Ah... there's nothing else to do. I just made some predictions yesterday. An old friend has been caught up in evil spirits and is afraid of being killed. I want to send you out of the mountain to give him a helping hand and at the same time kill that evil spirit. And get rid of it to prevent it from poisoning others." The master of the temple said to the disciple.
"No...don't our Taoists pay attention to the word 'inaction'? If I go all the way to save him, can it still be called 'inaction'?" Dongfang Watcher said lazily: "If he can survive this murder, even if he doesn't It’s okay for me and him, but if it’s fate that he won’t survive—it’s all in vain if I go.”
The viewer smiled bitterly and said: "So I say your understanding of 'Tao' is really bad... How many times have I said that Wuwei does not mean not doing anything, but doing things according to the rules without interfering... "
"Wouldn't it be the same for you to find someone else to save him? My understanding of Tao is so bad, so I'd better stay in the temple and understand the Tao!" Dongfang Watcher finally found the reason for his words.
The viewer couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the disciple rolling around like this: "Do you really think I asked you to save him? In fact, saving him is the easiest thing to do. The important thing is to slay demons and eliminate demons, as well as your own practice——"
"Master, as for the cultivation of Taoism, I am not boasting. You also know that there are many people in our Taoist temple who are better than me on two hands. As for the cultivation of Taoism - I am no better than practicing Taoism in the temple than outside. how?"
"Wrong, wrong - you have entered the mountain gate since you were a child and have no experience in the world - if you can't join the world, how can you talk about being born in the world?" The master of the temple was very sincere in order to persuade his disciple. "For you now, the best experience is to go down the mountain for a walk, and this person also has a great fate with you, so you have to go today whether you want to go or not..."
"I don't want to go, you can find someone else." After Dongfang Tuo said this, he hurriedly "escaped" from the master's living room. The master was not angry when he saw him acting like this, but just murmured: "Why do you think you are doing this?"
Dongfang Watcher was lazy by nature. He would never sit down if he could lie down, otherwise he would not be able to sleep for six hours a day. After listening to his master's words, he was afraid that his master would chase him out, so he ran to the mountain behind the Taoist temple to find a rest. He had to hide somewhere - Master said that he had to go or not go today, so he had to get through today.
He found a tree on the back mountain and lay there for a while. Dongfang Watch suddenly had three urgent needs, but he definitely couldn't go to the Taoist hut now. Firstly, the hut was some distance away from the back mountain, and secondly, he was afraid that his master would catch him back. , jumped down from the tree crown and prepared to squat on the edge of the cliff to discharge the pickled things into the ravine - it can be seen that this person is really not very particular.
Not long after, Dongfang Watcher had just finished wiping his buttocks and was about to pull up his pants. Unexpectedly, his legs were numb from squatting. His body sank and his feet slipped, and he fell head-first off the edge of the cliff.
Dongfang Tuo cursed in his heart, and quickly made a trick in his other hand - this trick is called "Longing the Golden Light". It is a movement technique that is extremely fast. It is said that if you practice this technique to a high level, you can travel thousands of miles a day. No matter how talented Dongfang Watch is, he doesn't have the opportunity to use the golden light technique on ordinary days, so he is not proficient in this technique. He only hopes that this technique can save his life and prevent him from falling into a ravine and rushing to death.
In an instant, Dongfang Watcher had landed, but he was lying on the ground. His pants were nowhere to be found, with half of his butt exposed. He got up and wiped the dirt from his face, only to find that there was a cloth bag, a wooden sword and an oil-paper umbrella beside him.
If it were anyone else, he might have thought that he had met an immortal, but Dongfang Watch himself was a "half-immortal". He looked around and found that this was at the foot of Haofeng Mountain, and he immediately understood what was going on. Then he shouted towards the sky: "Master, you are plotting against me!"
"Haha... How could it be a calculation? I told you that you have to go today, whether you want to go or not. You fell from the cliff yourself and used the golden light to get out of the mountain gate. You can't rely on me. ..." There seemed to be a bell-like voice coming to Dongfang Watcher's ears, "But since you have already left the mountain, I will seal the mountain gate conveniently, and you can go in peace. I'll take it with you. There is a map in the cloth bag for you, just follow the map and walk northeast."
How could Dongfang Watch not know what his master had done to him? With his own golden light, he would not be able to go from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in an instant, but his master secretly "helped" him. But now that the master has sealed the mountain gate, even if he goes up the mountain and returns to the location of the Taoist temple, he still can't find the Taoist temple, so he can only follow the master's wishes.
However, the person who went to defecate on the edge of the cliff and accidentally slipped down was indeed him, so Dongfang Watcher had nothing to say, and he secretly regretted it now - if he had known better, he would have been obedient, and he would not be as disgraced as he is now. Does it look much better with a butt?
Just when he was debating whether to take apart the cloth bag and wrap it around his lower body to cover his lower body, another pair of pants suddenly fell from the sky, and the fairy voice came again: "By the way, I almost forgot your pants."
Dongfang Watcher jumped up and reached over his head, holding the gray cloth underwear firmly in his hands - well, not only the outer trousers, but also the inner trousers were "passed down" by his master.
At this point, Dongfang Watcher no longer plays. He put on his trousers honestly, put the rags on the floor into a cloth bag, put a wooden sword and a paper umbrella on his back, and while complaining about why his master didn't give him a treasure bag, he officially set foot on his own The road to conquering demons.
