The Temple of Longevity is very dilapidated, and it seems that there are no people there. It is quite deserted. When entering the temple, there are only one or two little Taoist priests cleaning the Taoist temple. Don't know the doctor.
Could it be that the doctor has changed his name invisibly
not sure.
Gu Qingfeng hadn't heard from Mei Lao either.
The Taoist temple is not big, and Gu Qingfeng was about to use his spiritual sense to check for the trace of the great master. At this time, another Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple.
"Excuse me, are you an ancient fellow Taoist?"
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, but still nodded.
"Our temple master has been waiting for Fellow Daoist Gu for a long time, please follow me."
This time Gu Qingfeng was even more puzzled, and asked: "I don't know who the master of your temple is..."
"The Lord of Longevity."
The Lord of Longevity
Is it the rumored old Taoist priest who has lived for an unknown number of years
How did the other party know that he was coming
And how long have you been waiting
This thing is a bit strange.
Gu Qingfeng walked in with the Taoist priest, walked through a corridor, and came to a garden.
There is a big tree in the garden, and there is a pavilion under the big tree. In the pavilion, an old Taoist priest with white beard and hair is sitting. The old Taoist is sitting upright, holding a cup of fragrant tea, watching a game of broken chess.
For some reason, when seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had been here before, and the old Taoist was sitting upright at that time, drinking tea and watching chess.
Could it be the memory of breaking into the Temple of Longevity that time
Not sure.
Gu Qingfeng really didn't have much impression.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't come here unharmed."
The voice of the old Taoist priest was weird, not loud, and without power, but it made people feel like a fleeting cloud and a vicissitudes of life.
The old Taoist stood up, looked at Gu Qingfeng, and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"Have we met?"
Gu Qingfeng was not polite, walked over and sat down.
The old Taoist picked up the teacup, poured a cup of clear tea for Gu Qingfeng, and said with a slight smile: "When the ancient Taoist was practicing in the Shangqing sect, Pindao was fortunate to have a relationship with the ancient Taoist once."
"It seems that there is such a thing, I thought it was an illusion." Gu Qingfeng picked up the teacup, a very strange smell came, he put down the teacup again, and said: "If my guess is right, then Was it here when we met?"
"Exactly."
"But why don't I have any impression."
The old Taoist just smiled and shook his head, but did not respond.
Gu Qingfeng continued to ask, "What did you do to me back then?"
"Why did Fellow Daoist Gu say that?"
"Because after I went back, I obviously felt a strange change in my body. As for what kind of change, I can't explain it myself, but the feeling is very clear, but it's why I broke into your longevity concept that year. I have no impression of anything."
"Fellow Daoist Gu should know that there is a theory of epiphany in Buddhism."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, and responded: "Enlightenment of ignorance and hearing of the scriptures has been going on for many kalpas. Enlightenment means that in an instant, delusions will be eliminated in an instant, and it is like seeing the true nature suddenly. Enlightenment of Bodhi means no thoughts, and all dharma minds are not contaminated. No thought, but also epiphany."
"I didn't expect the ancient Taoist to have such an extraordinary insight into the Buddhist epiphany. It's really amazing!" Quite a few."
There is an old monk living in Gu Qingfeng's Nirvana Bone Jade. Gu Qingfeng has listened to him a lot about Buddhism. , I really realized a lot.
But he didn't say anything about it, but waited for the old Taoist's next words.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the old Taoist said, "Buddhas have sudden enlightenment, and our Taoists also have self-forgetfulness."
"Forget me?"
Regarding the self-forgetfulness of Taoism, although Gu Qingfeng has never experienced it, he has also seen it in some ancient books. It is said that self-forgetfulness is a supreme state pursued by Taoism. It is said that only by entering the state of self-forgetfulness can it be recovered me.
Since this stuff of Taoism is too mysterious, Gu Qingfeng only has a general idea, and he doesn't really understand what kind of concept the specific state of selflessness is.
"The reason why Fellow Daoist Gu has no memory of what happened back then is because when Fellow Daoist Gu came here, he entered the realm of ecstasy in our Taoism."
"And this thing?"
Gu Qingfeng was a little suspicious.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look."
The old Taoist pointed to the remnant chess on the board, and said: "The old fellow Taoist looked at this remnant chess and fell into a state of ecstasy."
Chess is Reversi, also known as Heaven and Earth Chess.
Also known as Yin Yang Chess, Tai Chi Chess, Chaos Chess and so on.
There are many names. It is said that this kind of Reversi has been passed down from ancient times. No one can tell how old this ancient game is.
According to rumors, Reversi contains all the principles and principles between heaven and earth, and even more so contains the mysteries of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the prehistoric horoscope of the universe. If you can play Reversi thoroughly, you will also understand the principles of heaven and earth.
This may sound like an exaggeration at first glance.
But Gu Qingfeng knows that it is not an exaggeration, at least, he thinks it is not an exaggeration. Since he learned Reversi, he has become more and more aware that this kind of chess is not simple, to be precise, it is very complicated, it is really all-encompassing, as if it contains the truth of heaven and earth generally.
With the increase of experience, and the more knowledge he gained, the more he felt that the black and white chess was mysterious and wonderful.
If you want to talk about the epiphany of playing Reversi, it is not without, and there are many.
Gu Qingfeng himself is a person who has experienced it himself. When he played Reversi with those Jiuyou old demons in the Great Wilderness, he had an epiphany.
But forget me.
He really had no impression.
Looking at this remnant chess at this moment, although it seems familiar, but it is only familiar, there is nothing else, and asked: "When I entered the state of self-forgetfulness, what did I realize?"
"I'm afraid only Fellow Daoist Gu knows this."
"But I don't know."
"Everything happens for a reason."
Cause and effect again.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, Gu Qingfeng felt a little funny, and said: "Cause and effect is a thing of Buddhism, and you Taoists also believe in this thing?"
"Buddha is Tao."
The old Taoist's short four words made Gu Qingfeng's heart startled suddenly, as if he saw a ray of light in the endless darkness, but this light seemed to be close at hand, but also as far away as the end of the world.
After a long time, Gu Qingfeng came back to his senses, picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned slightly, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, how about the tea?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "It's not good."
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Gu is really quick to speak, and he is worthy of being a hero of the generation."
