Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Changsheng hurriedly brought Mr. Hei into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door and followed Zhang Mo, "Uncle, what do these uncles want from me?"
"It's not a big deal, you don't need to be nervous," Zhang Mo said with a smile, "Your master Luo Yangzi was a Taoist priest in Gezao Mountain during his lifetime. In order to restore his Taoist status, my father could only overstep his rank and issue decrees as a heavenly master. The Heavenly Master's decree not only needs to be presented to the Heavenly Court, but also must be sealed in a book. After the four uncles learned about this, they were very curious about you. They all wanted to see what kind of young talent it was that the Heavenly Master could show mercy to. Cherish talents and show mercy outside the law."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I should have gone to visit some elders yesterday, but I didn't think carefully enough."
"It has nothing to do with you," Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "They are just like my father. They ignored secular affairs many years ago. It's just that they need to be notified when the Heavenly Master's decree is sealed. That's why they know there is a person like you. .”
"How many masters and uncles are at Wuji Temple?" Changsheng raised his head and looked up.
"No, they each have their own place to live." Zhang Mo said.
He must have noticed that Chang Sheng was still a little nervous, so Zhang Mo said casually, "They just want to see you, there's nothing important. I'll take you for a walk, meet them face to face, and then we'll leave."
Changsheng nodded and asked cautiously, "Uncle Master, has my master's Taoist status been officially restored?"
"Yes," Zhang Mo nodded, "This morning I have already performed rituals and submitted them to the heaven. Luo Yangzi was awarded the fifth-grade alliance power 瓓 during his lifetime. When he was awarded Taoist status posthumously, he also restored his fifth-grade 瓓 position."
Changsheng had long known that Taoism and teaching were two different things, but he was extremely grateful that the Heavenly Master could restore Luo Yangzi's Taoism. He never expected to restore Luo Yangzi's status. Hearing what Zhang Mo said, he felt excited. Extremely frightened, he said, "Uncle Master, thank you very much. I really don't know how to repay your kindness."
"Haha," Zhang Mo said with a happy smile, "The favor you owe is indeed a bit big. It is not enough to repay the favor except for the promise. Remember, you will always be a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain. Honor, Longhu Mountain I share the glory and disgrace with you, Longhu Mountain shares the disgrace with you.”
"I will always be a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, sharing weal and woe with Longhu Mountain." Changsheng repeated solemnly.
Zhang Mo was satisfied and nodded happily.
Those four uncles and uncles were all Zhang Bingyi's juniors. They lived in a secluded and remote place. Zhang Mo first brought Changsheng to the courtyard where Master Dazhong lived. Master Dazhong was enjoying the cool under the trees outside the house. He was not wearing a Taoist robe. He was wearing a small coat and was shaking a cattail leaf fan in his hand.
Zhang Mo came with Changsheng and greeted Master Dazhong. Master Dazhong stood up with a smile. He first shouted into the yard and asked the Taoist boy who took care of his daily life to pick a melon from the east field, and then He shook his cattail leaf fan and looked up and down at Changsheng.
After looking at it, he pulled Changsheng to sit down on the stone bench. Master Dazhong was very easy-going and approachable. He did not hesitate to praise Changsheng. He only said that he was affectionate, righteous, and perseverant. He also said that he had good facial features and was born with the Dharma. .
Only the lazy man squatting on the wall and the talkative woman talking have no point. Although Dazhong is amiable, he does not talk randomly. The sentence "Brother Zhang knows people with his sharp eyes, and a talented person like you should make an exception." "Protect" is the key point. The implication is to remind him that Zhang Bingyi was kind to him outside the law and showed favor and protection to him.
Without saying a few words, the little Taoist boy came back holding the melon. After cutting it open, he found that it was only medium-rare. Master Dazhong slapped the little Taoist boy on the head with a cattail leaf fan, blaming him for not knowing how to pick melons.
Although the melon was not ripe, it was still edible. Zhang Mo helped cut the melon and distributed it to everyone. Master Dazhong and Changsheng didn’t finish one piece. She had already eaten three pieces. The reason why she ate so quickly was because she Only eat the heart of the melon and throw away all the unsweet flesh.
"You will only grow seven or eight crops this year, and you will eat one less. Don't waste it." Master Dazhong felt very distressed.
Zhang Mo put down the melon peel and urged, "Second Master Uncle, I have to take him to the Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, and Seventh Uncle. You can send him some kind words quickly, and it will be a waste of time for him to come to see you."
"What do you want me to say?" Master Dazhong asked casually.
Zhang Mo took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Of course it's true and useful, don't talk about big principles."
"Let me think about it," Master Dazhong shook his cattail leaf fan and thought quickly. After a moment, he turned to look at Changsheng, "You must have rules in life. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are indispensable. If one of the four is missing, you will be a bad person. In addition to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, those who Whether you follow the rules or not depends on your own will. Furthermore, don't put on airs. When people call you a mage and call you a real person, you feel like a god. You don't dare to say anything directly, and you don't dare to eat. If you eat too much, women won’t dare to look at it, and they won’t even dare to fart. Then you’ll be tired. Remember, the more something you look like, the less likely it is to be something else. Look at me, I’ve taught you three holes and five thunder drums. I am a second-grade high-gong person, how can I have any airs, this is called realm..."
Seeing that Master Dazhong was becoming more and more unreasonable as he talked, Zhang Mo hurriedly pulled Changsheng to stand up and say goodbye, "Okay, okay, Uncle Second Master, we have to leave. I'll see you again when I have time."
"It's hard to come here and sit down for a while." Master Dazhong persuaded him to stay.
Zhang Mo didn't waste any time and directly took Changsheng to the next house.
After leaving Master Dazhong's residence, Zhang Mo said, "Second Master Uncle's words are rude but not rude. He has lived an open-minded, transparent, happy and free life."
You must be good at summarizing when studying, and summarizing when listening to others. Regarding the advice of Master Dazhong, Chang Sheng summarized it in one sentence: Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness must be adhered to. Whether you abide by other rules or not depends on your own mood.
Cultivating the Tao is not about turning all kinds of people into the same kind of people. Different people have different understandings of what the Tao is. The fourth master's uncle, Daren, was serious about his words. Knowing that the two were coming, he had already dressed up, sat upright in the main room, and waited. Come and see him before his death.
Different from the tactful reminder from Master Dazhong, Master Daren said it very directly. He only said that Zhang Bingyi’s move to leapfrog the posthumous title was unprecedented among the heavenly masters in the past. This matter could easily lead to conflicts among fellow practitioners. He hoped to live forever. Don't live up to Zhang Bingyi's high expectations. If you can self-cultivation and study diligently, you can stand out as soon as possible, build up your reputation, and spread the reputation of Sanshan.
Master Daren taught with a straight face, and Changsheng listened nervously and anxiously. After Master Daren finished speaking, Zhang Mo asked him for advice as usual.
Daren Master seemed to have been prepared for it, and said seriously, "Zi Yun: Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell the fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed into it. Living with unkind people is like entering a house of abalones. After a long time, you will be transformed into it. Even if you don’t smell the smell, you will be transformed by it. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Changsheng said hurriedly, "Whoever we are with will determine who we become. Uncle Master is reminding me to be careful when making friends, always look back and be alert, and never let others lead us astray." .”
Master Daren was very satisfied with Changsheng's answer and nodded happily, "A man who kills people and sells goods must have a few evil friends around him, and a woman who does not observe women's ethics must have a few evil women around her. Always stay close to gentlemen and stay away from villains."
Zhang Mo saw Chang Sheng's nervousness, and took him away with intention. Unexpectedly, Daren raised his hand to motion for her to sit down, and turned to Chang Sheng and said, "Taoist priests help the world and save the suffering, so as not to save evil people. At that time, we must not be arrogant and underestimate the enemy." , you must know that once you rescue someone, either you rescue the sinking person ashore, or the sinking person drags you into the water."
After Daren finished speaking, Changsheng did not answer immediately. It was not that he did not understand what Daren meant, but what Daren said was something he had never thought about before.
After pondering, Changsheng said seriously, "Thank you for the teachings of my uncle. If you are close to vermilion, you will be red. If you are close to ink, you will be black. If you are close to ink, you will be black. If you are close to ink, you will be red. If you don't have eight ounces of red in your body, you will not save seven ounces of black."
"You can teach me," Daren said with a pleased smile.
"Why do I feel that you are criticizing Huaihuai?" Zhang Mo pretended to be angry, pulled Changsheng and turned around to leave, "Let's go to Uncle Wu's place."
Changsheng said goodbye hastily to Master Daren, and then left with Zhang Mo.
Compared with the straightforwardness of Dazhong and the seriousness of Daren, the fifth uncle Dayi and the seventh uncle Dazhi are more in line with the image of Taoist priests in the minds of the world, elegant, generous, and natural and calm.
Master Dayi’s advice to Changsheng is that no matter what you do, don’t expect the other person to reciprocate. What you do for the other person is not that the other person deserves it, but that you want to do it. After you finish it, you will be worthy of yourself. As for whether the other party appreciates it, accept It doesn't matter whether it pays off or not.
The advice given by Master Dazhi is to endure loneliness when cultivating Taoism. Cultivating Taoism is destined to be a lonely thing. With the improvement of spiritual energy cultivation and Yili Taoism, fewer and fewer people will understand themselves. When they fully participate in At the moment when you realize the way of heaven, there may be no one around you.
Zhang Mo had something to do temporarily, so he was called away by Zhang Shan, and Chang Sheng returned alone.
On the way down the mountain, he kept recalling the teachings of these old masters in his mind. He was not a person without opinions, and he did not listen to everyone's opinions, but he deeply remembered the words of these old masters. People who hold high positions must have their own reasons for holding high positions. Secondly, he also recognizes what a few people said from the bottom of his heart. These words are great wisdom and high-level pattern.
Walking on the mountainside, I met a group of people. The ones leading the way were two Zhike Taoists, followed by several officials in official uniforms. The leader must be about forty years old, with a fair face, no beard under his chin, and in his hand. Holding a yellow cloth scroll.
Seeing everyone, Changsheng hurriedly stepped aside to give way. After everyone passed by, he turned around and looked back. The man in his forties looked neither male nor female. Could he be the legendary eunuch?
The eunuchs are all in the palace, why are they here? This man is holding a yellow cloth scroll in his hand. Could it be the legendary imperial edict?
It was already past time to eat, so Changsheng returned to his residence and took out the eggs that Sanyunzi and others had brought yesterday. There were still more than a dozen eggs. The weather was hot and they would spoil if they didn't eat them.
After eating a few eggs, Changsheng went out and brought back the goat, milked it and fed it to Mr. Hei. Then he went down the mountain alone to the east town and bought yellow paper incense candles. Luo Yangzi had restored his Taoist status and he wanted to worship him. Ichiban.
In addition to the yellow paper incense candle, there is also a pack of candied fruits. The eggs yesterday were given by Ni Chenyi. He was embarrassed to take things from others for nothing, so he could only buy some things and give them back.
He originally wanted to ask Miyunzi or Mimuzi to help him send them there, but he didn't know where they went. He couldn't find them, so he had no choice but to send them there himself. Kundao and Qiandao lived in different courtyards. It was inconvenient for him to go in, so he waved to a Taoist boy and asked him to hand over the bag of candied fruits to Ni Chenyi.
In the evening, I burned yellow paper incense candles in the yard, prayed silently, and comforted my late master.
Since he didn't have a teacher, he couldn't practice magic. However, he would take the initiative to participate in the morning and evening homework, and he would also go to practice in the morning. In fact, he was an idle worker in Longhu Mountain, and no one cared about him, neither restraining nor restricting him.
After five or six days like this, Changsheng gradually adapted to the life in Longhu Mountain. Since the last time Zhang Mo was called away by Zhang Shan's messengers, he had never seen Zhang Mo again, and he didn't know how busy she was these days. What.
He didn't know what the officials he met last time were doing, so it seemed that it was not his turn to know.
On the seventh day, Changsheng was milking the cows and feeding the horses when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and the flow of Qi and blood suddenly accelerated.
At first, he didn't know why, but he only understood the reason after looking closely. Only seven days later, his spiritual energy cultivation level improved again, from the light red cave god to the red energy high mysterious...
