Xuan Jiucao said sheepishly: "I made you laugh. I have some paraffin red here. I will burn it a little now. The mosquito repellent effect is very good. Hehe, don't look at the simplicity of this place. In fact, the room is still very dry." Sure enough, as Xuan Jiucao said, the white smoke that came out of the red instantly drove away the dense mosquitoes all around. An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the withered yellow fire illuminated every corner. In the central hall facing them, There were two scrolls of statues hanging, and I frowned. I saw only one incense burner on the table. I recognized those two paintings. One was a portrait of Emperor Xuanyuan, and the other was a portrait of Laozi, the founder of Taoism. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly understood that it turned out that Xuan Jiucao worshiped the original Huang-Lao Taoist. Although the founder of all Taoist sects is Laozi, Taoism and Taoism are different. The so-called Huang-Lao Taoism, In fact, it refers to the Taoist school of thought of the Emperor and Laozi, with the Emperor and Laozi as the founders. It is also the earliest name for Taoism today. Huanglao Taoism began in the Warring States Period and flourished in the Western Han Dynasty. Under the guise of the thoughts of Huangdi and Laozi, it is actually Taoism and Legalism. It is a combination of ideas and the views of Yin-Yang, Confucianism, Mohism, etc. The difference between Taoism and Taoism is that Taoism originally refers to Huang Lao Taoism, and the concept of Taoism initially refers to Confucianism or Confucianism. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people Taoism is used to refer to what we call Taoism today, while Taoism is still used to refer to Confucianism or Confucianism. Starting from the end of the Han Dynasty, people used Huang Lao Taoism to refer to what we call Taoism today. Today's Taoism is not based on the Five Classics of Confucianism, but on the Five Classics of Confucianism. It is based on the Tao of Lao Tzu. The concept of Taoism refers to a religion whose goal is immortality. At the same time, Taoism still uses the names of Taoism and Huang Lao. "Book of Wei¡¤Shi Lao Zhi" records: The origin of Taoism comes from Lao Tzu. , he said to himself, born from heaven and earth, endowed with all kinds of things, the one above is Yujing, the sect of the god king; the one below is Ziwei, the master of flying immortals The Yellow Emperor asked questions in Kongtong, cast cauldrons to refine elixirs, and expressed them in the Laozi Pillar The scriptures were passed down to the west and left Hangu in the west, so the Yellow Emperor was regarded as the era. It has a history of more than 4,700 years in the Taoist calendar. Taoism regards "Tao" as the highest belief, takes alchemy and magic as the way of cultivation, and takes attaining Tao and becoming an immortal as its The ultimate goal is that nowadays, tributaries of Taoism are all over the world, and each sect has formed a unique system. However, the original and purest Huanglao Taoism has been passed down to this day, and Xuan Jiucao is one of the inheritors, lighting up the three pillars. After smelling the fragrance, he bowed down and paid homage to "Elder Huang". Xuan Jiucao also packed up everything, "There are only simple meals in the mountains and fields. Please use it, Taoist friends from the seventh day, haha." Xuan Jiucao smiled and prepared the bowls and chopsticks. It is said that they are bowls and chopsticks, but the chopsticks are bamboo chopsticks. As for the bowls to be precise, they should be two bamboo tubes with a slanted opening on them. A bamboo tube of tea has been filled inside, and on the table, there are two broken porcelain jars. The fragments seemed to have been polished into "plates" by Xuanjiucao. One was stir-fried wild vegetables, the other was cold bamboo shoots, and there were a few pieces of black steamed buns. Although they were simple meals, they tasted quite different. During the meal, Xuan Jiucao seemed to have started practicing. He sat up cross-legged and meditated on the side of the incense burner. I had nothing to do, so I also sat cross-legged on the bed in the inner room to meditate. But as soon as I sat down, I suddenly felt a lot of discomfort in my body. First I felt flustered and short of breath, then restless and restless, and finally put away my hand seals helplessly. I stared blankly at the dark night outside the window and muttered to myself: "What's wrong with me? Why can't I calm down even for the most basic meditation." " "Mei'er, do you feel any discomfort? " After much deliberation, I had no choice but to turn to Mei'er for help, but soon, Mei'er's answer made me even more embarrassed "Master, although Mei'er has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, she is still a spirit body, and the overlapping auras here are It is extremely powerful, and my sensing ability is greatly limited. Even beyond the three feet around the master, I can¡¯t sense anything" "Uh" After thinking hard to no avail, I reluctantly gave up my plan to practice. I looked up suddenly and saw Xuan Jiucao appearing in front of me at some point. Seeing me looking at him, Xuan Jiucao said lightly: "You go to bed early, I will develop the herbal medicine" After saying that, before I could wait, I replied, and Xuan Jiucao turned around and walked out. I looked back blankly, tilted my head and thought for a while, then lay down on the bed to sleep. This Xuan Jiucao seemed to have some story that he didn't want me to know. It was inevitable that he was alone. It¡¯s normal to have some stories while inheriting the ancestral heritage, but I still feel a little empty in my heart. Anyway, my heart that just wanted to be at ease started to wander again. When the house is busy, maybe he sells the developed herbal medicine to the village ahead to make a living, or maybe he keeps it for his own use. In short, who knows, calm down and think about it, this place is really weird, and sometimes you see beautiful things. The magnificent and beautiful scenery can feel strange and unreal. Sometimes, it seems that Xuan Jiucao, who looks cheerful and easy-going, seems to hide another side, and this allThe so-called "dry rice bowl" can only be described with one word from the inside to the outside, that is "weird." I was in a daze, and I didn't know whether I was asleep or awake. When I heard the sound of chopping firewood outside, I subconsciously I opened my eyes, but soon fell asleep again, until a burst of medicinal fragrance wafted, and not long after, I fell asleep again "Wake up, wake up." In the hazy moment, I was pushed by something. I woke up suddenly, only to see Xuan Jiucao holding an ax in one hand, standing blankly in front of the bed, looking at me expressionlessly, I was immediately frightened and asked in surprise: " XuanFellow Xuan, you, you, you are" The first reaction in my mind was that I met a lunatic in the mountains, but my mind suddenly changed, as if I encountered Xuan Jiucao, and then started to No unusual behavior was found on him, but he was holding the ax Unexpectedly, Xuan Jiucao glanced down at the ax in his hand, quickly put it down, frowned and said: "Friend Chu Qi, I can't live here anymore. We must leave here immediately." "Why, why?" I stood up and reached out to take out the evil sword. As soon as the long sword came out, Xuan Jiucao's eyes widened and he stared at my hand. He glanced at the evil sword, and then said anxiously: "A group of intruders will be here soon. In order to avoid conflicts, we must hide in the mountains." "Intruders, conflict, this isthis What's going on?" I put the bag of magic on my back and the Gengzi Sword on my back, and asked in confusion. " "Yeah." I no longer hesitated and immediately followed Xuan Jiucao out of the room. But when I was approaching the door, I suddenly turned my head and glanced at the portrait of "Lao Huang" on the central hall and the incense burner on the table. , After a short pause, I turned back and followed him quickly, "The mountain road at night is even more difficult to walk, but Xuan Jiucao is walking as fast as flying, as if walking on flat ground. Even if I rely on the breeze to follow, I still can't catch up with him. The rhythm was good, but it was okay. We quickly hid in a hidden place on the hillside. I suggested looking back. Xuan Jiucao hesitated for a moment, then lay on the edge of the stone with me and looked at the small house below. PS: Today¡¯s second chapter, there are three more chapters to come.
