Tarzan.
This is Li Ye's first climb to the top of Mount Tai after he came to this world. The five states of Pinglu are just to the east of Mount Tai. According to the world before Li Ye traveled, it is called Shandong.
Taishan also has a Taoist temple, but it is not affiliated with the Five Daomen, but the place where the Quanzhen Temple is located. Quanzhen Temple is the new Taoist school founded by Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang.
"If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, it will be better than Long Zeling. According to the old way, there is no need to build the Quanzhen Temple on Mount Tai. It is so high and difficult to climb. My dustpan mountain is good."
When reaching the top, Chu Nanhuai curled his lips with his sleeves in his hands, as if he didn't think much of Dongyue.
It was not yet dawn, and the surrounding fields were deep and quiet. From the top of the mountain down, the mountains were hidden in thick darkness. The morning star is already very bright, but it is too far away to illuminate the top of the mountain.
Su Emei was personally arranging Xiaoan, futons and other things for Li Ye and others. Li Ye stood in front of the cliff with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit clichéd to make things happen, it is inevitable. It doesn't matter whether it is a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple. , we must try our best to occupy the world's famous mountains and great rivers. In addition to these places with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant spiritual energy, which are beneficial to practice, it is also the meaning of the title to use the original reputation of mountains and rivers to enhance the status of Taoist Buddhist temples."
Chu Nanhuai sat down behind the small case prepared by Su Emei, waiting for Su Emei to serve him wine. Everyone was waiting on the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, so of course they couldn't do without fine wine. Su Emei disliked Wei Xiaozhuang's clumsiness, and she handled all these things on her own, as if she had returned to the days when she was young and took care of the Taoist temple in Dupan Mountain.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
Chu Nanhuai looked at Li Ye, and suddenly asked: "The demons in Pinglu are causing chaos, how does Your Highness plan to deal with it? Let me tell you first, the old man is getting old, and he just wants to go back to Dupan Mountain to retire."
Li Ye turned around, smiled indifferently, and sat opposite Chu Nanhuai in front of the small case.
Su Emei put wine pots and wine glasses for the two of them, as well as a plate of cakes, each of different styles, but the most popular one was sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I don't know where she got the sweet-scented osmanthus in this season. When she was doing this, her eyebrows and eyes were always calm and peaceful, and she didn't interrupt. A wisp of black hair slipped down her fair and flawless face, dancing in the breeze on the top of the mountain.
Except for Li Ye and Chu Nanhuai, the three masters and apprentices, there was only Shangguan Qingcheng in silver armor, who brought three guards to guard the crossing on the edge of the ground. Shangguan Qingcheng still didn't look sideways, standing with his sword on his shoulders, his back straight and heroic, as if he could draw his sword at any time and suddenly guard Li Ye behind him - even though it was very safe here.
Li Ye said to Chu Nanhuai, "I don't understand one thing."
Chu Nanhuai picked up the wine glass, motioned Su Emei to fill it up quickly, took a sip impatiently, smacked his lips happily, and then said: "Your Highness, just ask, the old master knows everything without saying anything."
When he said that he planned to retire, he was not in the mood. Now that he drank a glass of fine wine, his mood immediately became high. Judging by his appearance, if Li Ye is willing to give him dozens of jars of wine, it is not impossible for him to be a follower.
Li Ye asked seriously: "Are there any monsters in this world?"
Naturally there is no such thing on earth, but Li Ye really doesn't know if it exists in this world. If not, there is no way to explain the group of demons who are causing trouble in Pinglu. If there is, then it is true that the Daoist sect has subdued demons and eliminated demons
Chu Nanhuai smiled lightly and said, "After Pangu opened up the world and before the human religion manifested itself, the witches and demons were the masters of the world. The demons were headed by Nuwa and Donghuang Taiyi, who took charge of the fairy court and built the fairy palace; The second patriarch shaman was the head, governing the earth, and established the six reincarnations. Later, Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, and the liches fought. ... What is a demon?"
Li Ye frowned slightly, and asked further: "Is it true or not?"
Chu Nanhuai laughed, "Your Highness, a wise man, how could you ask such a question?"
He flicked his sleeves lightly, and said slowly: "In the teachings of Taoism and Shimen, demons are monsters that harm the world and kill people without blinking an eye. It is really ridiculous. There are no demons in the world. They offered incense to feed them, and they made up stories about subjugating demons and eliminating demons. Through these stories, people were in awe of Shimen and Daomen, and began to worship them, especially when life was not going well, and they wanted to pray for blessings.”
"However, all the demons in the world rely on the Shimen Taoism to subdue them. Before the Shimen Daomen appeared, who would subdue the demons? At that time, no one subdued the demons. Why didn't the demons go around everywhere? Why didn't they cause trouble in the world and make people unable to live ?”
"Saints never die, thieves never stop. Beauty is beauty, but evil is already there. If there are no monsters, how can there be gods and Buddhas? If there are no monsters, what is the meaning of Buddhism? In order to exist, Shimen and Daomen have to fabricate things about monsters , to demonstrate the necessity of their existence.”
Speaking of this, Chu Nanhuai sneered, picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, enjoying it beautifully.
Li Ye took a sip of wine. The wine is good wine, and it is Jiannan Shaochun produced in Sichuan. The fragrance is overflowing, and it is the mid-winter season, a sip is just right to warm the stomach. However, the fine wine that tasted good before, now in Li Ye's mouth, he didn't taste much.
Li Ye put down his wine glass, and asked again: "There are no monsters in the world, and there is no need for someone to subdue them, so why do gods and Buddhas need them? Just to show their own strength, ask people to worship? To support their disciples? What's the matter?" What is the difference between robbers? Aren’t robbers robbing other people’s fruits of sweat without working hard? Isn’t the difference one relying on force to plunder and the other relying on mind control?”
"If gods and Buddhas are benevolent, why do people have to offer incense before they are willing to eliminate disasters for others? If you don't offer incense, you won't eliminate disasters for others? What is the essence of Jianghu killers who take people's money and eliminate disasters for others? The difference? If gods and Buddhas are really capable of eliminating disasters for people, why are there still so many disasters in the world?"
"For the rich and the unkind, the corrupt and perverted, why did they die suddenly for no reason? How many rich clothes and fine food are there for those who are kind and helpful? The situation in the world is just that the former is getting more and more unruly, while the latter is getting more and more difficult to survive and troubles. If there are gods and Buddhas , Why didn’t the Vajra stare glaringly, the Bodhisattva lower his eyebrows, and the gods appear in this world?”
Speaking of this, Li Ye took a deep breath and continued to ask: "If there are no monsters in the world, if gods and Buddhas can't solve disasters for people, if gods and Buddhas can't punish rape and eliminate evil, the meaning of gods and Buddhas is just to let people without power Ordinary people, who are already living a difficult life, bow down in awe and worship? Is it to make people in this world willing to endure the suffering of life and the torture of the rich and unkind, to hope for a vain afterlife and become a rich man who can do whatever he wants? dignitaries?"
"If there are no monsters in the world, if there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, then the people who are enshrined are just powerful and selfish monks. What is the difference between them and the mortal dignitaries? Is it true that the sentence transcends the world and the six senses are pure? Can you forget with peace of mind, where does your food and drink come from? Can you forget with peace of mind, who gave you your flesh and blood, and who raised you for it? If you have the world in your heart, why not let the world, Become even better, and contribute a little bit of your strength?"
"If there are no monsters in the world, if there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, if there are no powerful monks in the world, if the meaning of the existence of Shimen and Daomen cannot benefit the people and the world, then what is left? Just gather a group of singers People who recite the Buddhist scriptures play mysteries in front of ordinary people, say insincere words, talk about unrealistic dreams, fantasize about unreachable peaks, and use this to defraud the people of their money? How is that different from pyramid schemes?"
Li Ye didn't continue talking, he was a little emotional just now, and even blurted out the word "MLM".
Su Emei knelt beside the small case, quietly listening to the conversation between Li Ye and Chu Nanhuai. After hearing this, she looked at Li Ye with shining eyes, which seemed a little strange.
Chu Nanhuai smiled, "Those who can step into the door of Buddhism must be a few people in this world. They must have some kind of outstanding aptitude, which is worthy of praise. People live in hardship and endure all kinds of hardships. If there are no monsters in the world, if there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, if there are no powerful monks in the world, then the Taoists and Shimen are an unusual group of people. In the world, let the people listen to the words of Buddhism and Taoism, so that they will be less hostile and evil in life, so that they will love each other, reduce disputes, so that they can learn books and rituals, respect parents and brothers, and help neighbors, what is the point? "
Speaking of this, Chu Nanhuai drank a glass of wine, stood up, and faced the sky-moving morning star.
He made an impassioned statement: "People in the world believe in Taoism and Buddhism, and want to seek blessings, wealth, and health. Naturally, these are only seeking fish from trees. But it is undeniable that the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism do purify the soul and make people feel better. The effect of pureness and tranquility. The highest goodness is like water, the sound is like water, and the avenue is not contested. Therefore, some people, who are disgusted with the disputes in the secular world, turn to Taoism and Shimen to find a trace of purity. Shimen and Daomen become their escape from the world and seek A safe haven for peace of mind. If so, Taoists and Shimen should not enjoy incense offerings."
Chu Nanhuai waved his hand, and Xiaoan's jug flew into his hand, and he raised his head to drink.
After a while, he continued to speak, his tone became more and more sonorous, and his voice became louder and louder: "The Shimen and Daomen in my heart are a group of people who eliminate violence and evil thoughts in people's hearts and let people live in peace! The Shimen and Daomen in my heart , is the group of people who promote benevolence, love and friendliness! The Buddhism and Taoism in my heart are a group of people who promote righteousness and make the world a better place! The Taoism and Buddhism in my heart are to help those in need and reduce the suffering in the world. A group of people who make the world more beautiful!"
"The Taoism and Buddhism in my heart are a group of people who walk on the road, walk on the road of the world, help others, benefit the people of the world, and make the world a better place!"
"Those who can make this world a better place, even if it is just a little bit better, are worthy of respect and love in this world. Everyone is equal, and all beings are equal. What is needed between equals is respect and friendship. Why should we be afraid to kneel down? "
"The Taoist and Buddhist sects in my heart are not people who need people to worship, respect, and worship, but they don't work or pay, but they can wear bright clothes and enjoy the fruits of others' cultivation with peace of mind!"
"People like that are the moths of the world! My Taoist temple, my disciples, are not such people!"
"They will let the people of the world know that Daomen is worthy of their respect and love, and can give them something to rely on! Even if they can't solve their disasters, at least they won't use those fairy tales to bluff people and ask them for a penny! Even if it can't make them well-fed, at least it can make them feel at ease!"
"This is my Taoism, the Taoism that I, Chu Nanhuai, want!"
Li Ye was refreshed when he heard this.
The mountain wind howled, and Chu Nan's clothes fluttered.
What he was wearing was still the Taoist robe with as many patches as a cow's hair, which looked so shabby and inconspicuous. Walking on the official road and in the market, the well-dressed rich and nobles would not only not look at him directly, but would leave with their noses in their hands from a distance, like avoiding flies.
However, at this moment, in front of Venus, the old-fashioned brown-skinned old man gave Li Ye hope.
Li Ye couldn't help standing up, "The heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and they treat everything as a dog. In the eyes of a sage, common people and plants are the same, and they don't favor one over another. Why does the Taoist priest care about common people?"
Chu Nanhuai turned around and looked directly at Li Ye: "The sage treats everything the same, not merciless or merciless, but merciful and merciful. If the common people are thick and the vegetation and animals are thin, one day, the vegetation and animals will suffer from extinction , At that time, the common people can still exist? The old Taoist’s heart is for the common people, and it comes from the heart of all things.”
Li Ye was startled, and after a while, he bowed deeply to Chu Nanhuai: "You have been taught."
Chu Nanhuai came to Li Ye, held his hand, and said with hope, "Your Highness was born for heaven and earth, and I hope to realize the way of emperor as soon as possible, that is the blessing of heaven and earth."
Li Ye was taken aback again. Emperor Dao, what is Emperor Dao? Yuan Tiangang also mentioned Emperor Dao before his dismissal, and said similar things to Li Ye.
