Go down the mountain from Songzhu Yayuan and walk to Lianpu in the afternoon.
Lianpu is a naturally formed pond of varying sizes. There are lotus and duckweed in the pond, and there are willows, shrubs, and grass on the bank. It is the turn of spring and summer, when the greenery is lush and the flowers are blooming. Wu Sheng quite feels like "finding beauty on the waterside during a glorious day". Walking in the warm wind, I feel relaxed.
While feeling the lazy warmth, he looked around, looking for the legendary market. In his imagination, this kind of flea market in the spiritual world was very popular.
Walking along the bank of the pond, although there are not a lot of tourists, there are still a lot of them. From time to time, monks can be seen in twos and threes, either admiring flowers and fish, or gathering in a pavilion to talk.
Wu Sheng searched for a long time, wandering from afternoon to evening, but couldn't find a "stall stall" place, so he had to find someone to ask for directions. After wandering around for a while, he saw three men and one woman talking animatedly on a stone bridge. There was a famous person on the bridge. It was called "Blue Bridge", so we got together.
A monk with a calm face said: "...Li Er said that it is inaction, and this statement is very reasonable. Recently, I was observing the movement of a turtle and saw that it was motionless, but it could easily live for hundreds of thousands of years. This is the true meaning of inaction. From this, As for us, we only need to be in a quiet place, without doing anything, without laboring, without moving, without doing anything, lying down or sitting quietly, without even thinking about it, and we will surely attain enlightenment..."
A handsome and elegant man next to him refuted: "I really disdain Mr. Shi's words. It's OK not to work, not to work, not to move, not to do anything, but how can you not think about it? The purpose of cultivation is to think about the essence of the sun and the moon, to absorb the spirit of the heaven and the earth. How can you get it without thinking about it?”
"Little friend Wei Sheng said this wrongly. A certain person has always said that the spirit of heaven and earth is originally the essence of the sun and moon. They are one and the same. Why are they thinking and swallowing at the same time? The spirit of heaven and earth comes from all things, and all things grow. Obtained from the essence of the sun and the moon, how can it be confused with the same thing?" The monk Hezhan, who rolled up his trouser legs, shook his head.
He said to the female hunter who was sitting with a bow and arrow on her back: "My father-in-law is smart, but my brother Weisheng is so wrong! When I was visualizing, did I ever visualize the scorching sun? It is as scorching as fire, how can I imagine it? Wouldn't it burn out my spiritual consciousness? Oh, Brother has not yet refined his spiritual consciousness, haha..."
Wei Sheng said angrily: "Peach Blossom Girl, are you insulting me? Have you developed your spiritual consciousness again? How about we compete here, life or death?"
The female hunter sneered: "Over and over again, your wish has come true today! Please ask Mr. Shi and my father-in-law to do justice!"
There was a tense situation in the pavilion. It was really a matter of disagreement and a decision of life and death.
Wu Shengmao was under the pavilion and was stunned. Is this a life and death fight? Isn't it too childish? I am not in agreement, so it is really unlucky to encounter such an incident.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the calm-looking "Boss Shi" shout: "Wait a minute..."
Wu Shengxin said that there are still people who understand. No matter how big the problem is, it can be resolved with a haha. It seems that this fight cannot be fought. How about waiting?
While he was thinking about it, Mr. Shi smiled and said, "Brother Wei Sheng is truly a man of love. If you are like this, you can fight to the death in this pavilion. I and my father-in-law will testify."
The old farmer next to him smiled and said: "Yes, no matter who dies, the winner must erect a tomb for him, to ensure justice!"
Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of the shocked Wu Sheng under the pavilion, and asked, "Where are you fellow Taoists from? How about we bear witness together? Weisheng and Taohua Niang are both outstanding practitioners. If we fight today, they will be famous all over the world in the future!" "
Wu Sheng suddenly felt embarrassed. He looked at Wei Sheng, who was blushing and thick-necked like a fighting cock, and Maohua Niang, who had a disdainful face in the pavilion. He then looked at Mr. Shi and his father-in-law, an old farmer, who were about to "be a witness". He coughed twice and thought. He turned sharply and said: "What you fellow Taoists are talking about, I don't know which one is true and which one is false... Well... But when it comes to the essence of the sun and the moon, the spirit of the heaven and the earth... the sun and the moon... the sun and the moon... ah, everyone Can you tell how far away the sun and the moon are? This, I once heard a sage say. I met two children on the road arguing about the sun. One said, when the sun rises, it is as big as a canopy, so it is closest. The other said, when the sun is at noon, its heat is Like soup, so it is closest. I wonder if you think it is closer when the sun rises or when it is noon?"
After hearing this, Wei Sheng, Peach Blossom Girl and the old farmer all became thoughtful, squinting their eyes from time to time and looking up at the sun in the middle of the sky.
Boss Shi was thoughtful and asked: "The sage I mentioned is Confucius? Did I ever go to Jixia Academy to listen to him?"
Wu Sheng was speechless. Is there really Confucius? The former assassin Wu Sheng did not remember such a number one figure, so he hesitated and said: "I heard, just heard."
Shi Laodao: "A few years ago, Confucius, a monk from the state of Lu, went to Jixia Academy to study. He mentioned this problem when discussing with his classmates, and it became a famous problem in Jixia Academy."
The Peach Blossom Girl and the old farmer asked together: "Is sunrise nearer or sunrise nearer?"
Boss Shi shook his head: "When I left Qi State, this question had not yet been solved. I wonder how I can solve it, little friend?"
Wu Sheng had no intention to explain this problem, and that was not the purpose: "It doesn't matter whether it is far or near. What I want to say is that everyone looks at the same thing from a different perspective and draws different conclusions. The difference between the sun and the moon Whether it’s essence or the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the focus of practice is to cultivate the heart. The heart is ever-changing, so there’s nothing right or wrong about it.”
This statement was immediately approved by several people. Except for Wei Sheng who was still full of anger towards Peach Blossom Girl, the atmosphere on the bridge had relaxed greatly. Boss Shi asked: "What do you call me, little friend? Where is the fairyland?"
Wu Sheng decided to use his previous pseudonym: "A certain person's surname is Shen, and his name is Wu. He currently lives in Songzhu Yayuan."
Peach Blossom Girl asked: "My little girl is ignorant and ignorant, but she doesn't know where the Songzhu Garden is?"
Wu Sheng pointed in the direction: "Across seven mountain ridges, there is a pine and bamboo forest, close to the cliff, with a stream and waterfall beside the forest."
The old farmer suddenly said: "I know, it is indeed a quiet place, but the spiritual power is a little lacking... Did Xiaoyou Shen arrive at Langshan recently?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "New arrival half a month ago."
Everyone nodded: "No wonder..."
Wu Shengxin said, this should be considered a preliminary acquaintance, right? So he asked: "I heard that there is a spiritual market on the shore of Yeonpo..."
Boss Shi smiled: "Not bad."
Wu Sheng asked quickly: "Where?"
Shi Lao Da Dao: "There are no houses or shops. If there are people, it is a market."
Wu Sheng understood that this was an invisible market that didn't even have street stalls.
Peach Blossom Girl asked: "Brother Shen, what do you want to buy? Or what do you want to sell?"
Wu Sheng said: "I wonder how much magic weapons, elixirs, elixirs and other items cost here? Well, ordinary ones, the lowest price."
The four of them looked at each other for a moment. Peach Blossom Girl smiled, hooked her hand at Wu Sheng, turned over and went under the bridge, and Wu Sheng hurriedly jumped down.
There was a large wooden box under the bridge. Peach Blossom Girl opened the box and found that it was filled with magic weapons, spiritual materials, and various elixir bottles. They were not arranged properly and looked very messy.
"Take your pick." Peach Blossom Girl pointed at the box and pursed her lips: "If you like it, we can negotiate the price."
Wu Sheng randomly picked a copper sword made of ordinary material and asked Peach Blossom Girl for the price. Peach Blossom Girl gave an extremely surprising price.
Three hundred dollars.
