- Chapter 25: Focus on the Tao
Qingle Mountain is located in the southeast of the Sui Dynasty. It crosses the Yangtze River and goes south for 320 miles. It is a rolling mountain. Although it is not majestic and majestic, it is a place of first-class beautiful scenery. The Eastern Border of the Sui Dynasty had more than 10,000 miles of coastline, and the only land near the sea that was not under the jurisdiction of the Sui Dynasty was Dongchu. However, Dongchu was in the northeast of the Sui Dynasty. It was a peninsula extended from the mainland, and its area was not as large as the Gyeonggi Province of the Sui Dynasty.
Qingle Mountain is located in the south of the eastern border of Sui Dynasty. It is a place with good scenery in all seasons.
Although Qingle Mountain is not big, far less than the Langru Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Yanshan Mountains and other big mountains, its reputation is not inferior to the previous mountains.
There is no other reason, just because there is a Qi Temple on Qingle Mountain, and there is Zhenren Xiao in the Yi Qi Temple.
The emperor of the Sui Dynasty was arrogant and arrogant, as were all previous emperors. He could not tolerate any country in the world having a super-powerful Sui Dynasty. This greed was the reason why the founding of the Sui Dynasty was still vigorous to this day. Every emperor of the Sui Dynasty had ambitions. The Sui Dynasty had ambitions that existed elsewhere, and the Sui Dynasty had ambitions that did not exist elsewhere.
The Mongolian and Yuan Empire had the Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain, and the Sui Dynasty promoted the Qingle Mountain Monument.
There is the Great Wheel Ming King on the Snowy Mountain, and there is Zhenren Xiao in the Yiqi Temple.
The Buddhist sect emphasizes no desire and no pursuit, but there is no doubt that from the bottom of my heart, I look down on the Taoist sect of the Sui Dynasty. After all, except for the Sui Dynasty, everyone in the world believed in Buddhism. Even in the Sui Dynasty, people from the Buddhist sect could build temples and preach religion as long as they reported to the government. However, there was no doubt that the people of the Sui Dynasty had no respect for the Buddha. The reason why the Sui Dynasty court was so generous was that Or because of the emperor's greed.
If it is found elsewhere, it will naturally be found in the Sui Dynasty.
Yiqi Temple is built on the mountainside. There is only one stone path leading from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. There are 2,999 steps in total. Take another step and you will enter the mountain gate, which means "Three Thousand Avenues". There are mountain peach trees on both sides of the stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The fruits produced by these trees are sour and not delicious, but if you taste them carefully, they have a unique flavor. Over the years, there has been a myth that peach trees bloom overnight, peach blossoms bloom overnight, and fairy peaches ripen overnight. In fact, there are no fairy peaches anywhere, and it is just a gimmick to deceive people.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Yiqi Temple is not that big, counting from the master of the temple, Mr. Xiao Zhenren, down to the last generation of disciples, there are only 800 people in total. This number also has a meaning. Yiqiguan is known as the orthodox Taoism in the world, and it is also known as the place where all the wonderful arts in the world come from. But people's hearts are aligned with the Tao, and Tao is different. Therefore, the eight hundred disciples are also called the eight hundred disciples. They leave the orthodox and cultivate their own way, so they are also called the side sect.
There are eight hundred side gates and three thousand left gates all of them have one Qi view.
When the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty came here, he laughed loudly after knowing these meanings, and praised Qingleshan for his courage, and all the heresies were orthodox.
Although spring comes early in Jiangnan, the peach blossoms are still far from blooming. There is new green on the branches. Looking at the young shoots, I even want to pick a piece and put it in my mouth to chew.
Along the stone steps, a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes walked up slowly. It was hard to tell how old this man was. He had a mature temperament and a pretty face. There is a slight green stubble on his chin, but it doesn't look slovenly at all. He is of medium height, neither fat nor thin, and his walking pace is not too big, so he is quite regular.
In the Sui Dynasty, anyone who wore brocade clothes must have fame. Ordinary people, even if they have huge wealth, cannot wear brocade clothes. This is a court etiquette. If you exceed it, you will be imprisoned.
The middle-aged man was smiling and had a kind expression. He was admiring the mountain scenery while walking. But when he saw a few words inscribed on a big stone on the side of the road, he immediately stopped and gave a solemn salute.
"It was a calligraphy treasure left behind by His Majesty when he visited Qingle Mountain three years ago. I wanted to move it to the main hall, but His Majesty said he saw this stone here and wrote a few words on the stone casually. Then let's leave it there. Why move it here? If it has spirituality, wouldn¡¯t it be a big sin to disturb its practice?¡±
The speaker was an old man wearing black Taoist robes. He was about fifty years old, with three long beards. He held a whisk in his hand and wore cloth clothes and shoes. He looked quite immortal. It's just that this person's face is not very good, with triangular eyes and brow eyebrows. The more you look carefully, the more vulgar he looks.
But his identity is there, so no one can really judge a book by its appearance.
He is the master of Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple, Master Xiao.
"So the real person built a pavilion here to protect the stone from wind and rain?"
The man in brocade clothes asked with a smile.
"San Jinhou You donated hundreds of thousands of gold to repair an entire city wall in Chang'an, and your Majesty rewarded him with many awards. I built a pavilion for this stone. In fact, I had the same thought as you in building the city wall. It's nothing more than Just flattering His Majesty."
There was only one Sanjinhou in the Sui Dynasty, and that was Wu Daodao, who was known as the richest man in the Sui Dynasty. It is said that his wealth was enough to buy a mountain and river in the Sui Dynasty. To know the bigThe tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Sui Dynasty were divided into twenty-four, one mountain and river It was already larger than the territory of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
Wu Yiyi laughed loudly: "I am an ordinary person, so I naturally have to flatter and flatter you. But you are a Taoist monk"
"Those who practice Taoism are also human beings."
Master Xiao smiled and said: "People who practice Taoism also need to eat, and they also want to live a better life. It's natural to understand how many kind guests your Majesty's calligraphy can attract if you leave it in the mountains."
"Philistine!"
Wu Yiyi said with a smile.
¡°I still want to be a little more philistine.¡±
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Wu Yiyi waved his hand, and the attendant who followed him immediately stepped forward and handed a red sandalwood box to Master Xiao. The young disciple behind Master Xiao quickly took it and felt that the box was not heavy. It is inevitable that some contempt will arise. I thought that the money donated by ordinary wealthy people would be much more valuable than this box, but the richest man in the world could be so stingy. Sure enough, he is not as famous as he is in person.
"Every time Master Xiao opens his mouth, it's worth ten thousand gold."
Wu Daodao smiled: "The silver notes in this box can be exchanged at any bank in Sui Dynasty, and there will be no loss. However, smaller banks may not be able to exchange this much silver."
"Connecting the world."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
¡¡

The Master Xiao who returned to his room seemed to be a completely different person than the Master Xiao who was in front of outsiders. After settling Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, Zhenren Xiao, who took him half way across the mountain, threw himself on the bed, rubbed his aching old waist and couldn't help but sigh.
"If it wasn't for the ten thousand taels of gold, why would I have stayed with the smiling face for so long? The flesh on his face was so stiff from smiling, and I don't know if the old madam in the brothel who smiled all day long had a special way of practicing his mouth. Cheats."
A little Taoist boy took off his shoes for him, quickly climbed up the bed and beat Master Xiao on the back: "You are already a Taoist leader who is famous all over the world, why do you have to work so hard for a few copper bastards? If word spreads, people under the mountain will The people, even the people of the Sui Dynasty, are not allowed to laugh at you?"
"You know nothing!"
Master Xiao returned his hand and knocked the little boy on the forehead: "Do you like eating meat?"
¡°Love to eat!¡±
¡°Where does the meat come from?¡±
"It was brought up by the butcher at the foot of the mountain."
"Is it a free gift?"
"Of course not, of course you have to give money."
"If I don't go to socialize with those dignitaries and rich families, and with the incense money sent by the common people down the mountain, do you still want to eat meat?!"
Mr. Xiao snorted coldly and said: "If you want to eat meat, you must have the ability to earn the money to buy meat. Why can't you eat meat every time because I am so shameless and smiling? If you continue to be so ignorant, I will punish you." Go grow vegetables in the back mountain garden. I¡¯ll only feed you green vegetables and tofu every day. I¡¯ll see if you can still say such sarcastic things.¡±
"But after all, you are also the leader of the Sui Dynasty"
"What a bastard leader!"
Xiao Zhenren said: "If His Majesty hadn't been so competitive, wouldn't you have followed me around the streets to tell people's fortunes? You followed me a little late. Go ask your senior brothers who have not deceived ordinary people. Money? Who wouldn't tell a lie for a few dozen copper coins? As long as those rich people are happy, they can give more money, so they naturally have to say something nice. It's only been ten years since I was established. Did you lie to Your Majesty that Qingleshan should be the place where the Sui sect flourished? "
"ah?"
The little Taoist boy was startled and couldn't help but ask: "How come I haven't heard you mention this before?"
"It's not a shameless thing, tell me what it does. Go and get me a glass of water."
Mr. Xiao sat up, took off his socks and rubbed his sore feet, then inserted his index finger into the gap between his toes and rubbed it back and forth. The expression on his face immediately became extremely exciting. Looking at him, rubbing his toes is simply the most enjoyable thing in the world. The way he looks now, there is nothing like the demeanor of an orthodox leader in the world.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly asked softly: "Is the real person here?"
Master Xiao was startled. He hurriedly put on his socks and shoes, straightened his clothes and said, "I am just reading the Tao Te Ching and have some insights. I also want to talk to Marquis Sanjin about your coming. Please come in quickly."
Wu Yiyi walked in with a smile, then frowned: "The Tao Te Ching seems to have a special taste."
?Master Xiao smiled coquettishly, and then ordered the Taoist boy to serve tea.
Wu Yiyi stood aside and looked at the landscape paintings on the wall. After the little Taoist boy went out, he suddenly turned around and gave a solemn salute to Master Xiao. Master Xiao quickly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "San Jin Hou donated a large amount of incense money, and I haven't thanked him yet. Why did San Jin Hou give the gift first?"
"To be honest, Wu went up the mountain to ask for something."
"Please tell me, Lord Sanjin, that I will never refuse anything that a poor man can do."
Wu Yiyi stood up, hesitated and said: "Then I will say it directly without any detours There is a daughter in the family who has reached the age of marriage. I heard someone in the palace say a while ago that Your Majesty remembered me when I was repairing Chang'an. Thanks to the city wall, I plan to call the little girl into the palace as a concubine. The little girl The little girl is a rough woman. I am afraid that if I really enter the palace, I will annoy His Majesty and cause trouble, so I want to invite"
"Accept your daughter as a disciple?"
Master Xiao frowned and said, "But Taoist disciples can get married"
"It doesn't matter. I just want to say that my daughter is dedicated to the Tao and vows not to go down to Qingle Mountain until she succeeds in cultivation. Your Majesty, it's better not to push too hard. Besides, although my daughter's qualifications are mediocre, I found someone to test her and she is so powerful. One hundred and twenty-eight acupuncture pointsbut one hundred and twenty-two are opened."
"Received!"
Master Xiao nodded almost without hesitation: "If your Majesty asks, I will naturally come up with an excuse."
"Thank you!"
Wu Yiyi was excited and gave another gift to Master Xiao.
"It's justit's bitterly cold in the mountains, and I'm afraid your love won't be able to adapt to it."
Master Xiao sighed.
"I will donate another five thousand gold."
Wu Yiyi took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and put it on the table: "I'm afraid this is barely enough for my daughter's food and drink expenses for three years."
"Since your love is so sincere, how can Pindao close the door to the avenue?"
"If your Majesty asks"
Master Xiao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it's not like I haven't deceived Your Majesty"
At this time, a group of six people came down from Qingle Mountain. Four men and two women, dusty and exhausted.
Among the six people, a strong man over two meters tall was particularly blinking. There was a simple knife about half the size of a door panel tied behind his back, and the cold light was cold. The man at the front was a man in black. He had no weapons and a gloomy face. He was looking at the stone steps of the mountain gate in a daze.
There is also an old man with a pair of cymbals hanging on his waist.
A bald, muscular man holding an iron rod in his hand.
Of the two women, one was unarmed and the other held a sword in her arms.
"Is this the Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple?"
The strong man who was making a loud noise couldn't help but ask: "Then Master Xiao is famous all over the world and is the leader of the Taoist sect in the Great Sui Dynasty. I don't know it anywhere else, but in the Great Sui Dynasty, he is a figure who can be compared with the Great Wheel Ming King We just take the liberty to come here." , will he take us in?"
The cold and charming woman holding the sword raised her lips: "If he doesn't take you in, I will kill one of his disciples a day. It will take a while to kill 800 disciples at once."
"don't want."
The beautiful woman in a black dress shook her head and slowly knelt down in front of the stone steps: "I sincerely say, how could Master Xiao not take you in? If you can enter the mountain gate, you will not need to fight every day. I Come and beg, you don¡¯t need to interfere.¡± - Didn't finish reading?
