Chapter 32 Yin Fu Jing
"Uncle Master, are you going to finish the teachings of the immortal enlightenment?" Liu Shenwei was stunned and asked in surprise.
At this time, there were two patients in the clinic, and they were shocked when they heard this: "Master Xuanqing, you, the god of immortals, are you really going to finish your teachings?"
"Yes, Master Xuanqing, why are you going to finish the talk so soon?"
Zhang Xuanqing smiled at the three of them and said, "Shenwei, Uncle Liu, Aunt Wang, you don't have to be surprised. I have been talking about this god and the Taoist master for more than two months, so how can I continue to talk about it every day."
After more than two months of life, Zhang Xuanqing has met many people in Huayuan County, just like Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang in front of him, they are all neighbors. They have a little sore waist and legs, so they run to Jishitang. Today is no exception. They are all minor problems. Just pay more attention when you go back.
Uncle Liu said with regret, "It's said that the old man had never heard the Taoist priest speak in his own ear yet. He has always been listening to people's retelling. There are also some young men who wrote dictation based on their memory, and some people bought them to preach elsewhere. However, the contents were probably worse than what the Taoist priest said in person. Originally, the old man thought that he would go to the Zuixiang Tower to listen to the Taoist priest's storytelling with his own ears, but he didn't expect the Taoist priest to finish his lecture."
"Yes, Taoist priest." Aunt Wang also said, "It became more and more difficult to enter Zuixiang Tower when he went to Zuixiang Tower. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy a seat. He was like Brother Liu, and he had never heard the Taoist priest telling in person. He just heard other gentlemen talk about it when he went to other teahouses, but it was a big difference. I wonder if he would talk about the next one after he finished speaking this book?"
In the past two months, a new profession has emerged in Huayuan County, namely, the storyteller. He usually listens to the stories told by Zhang Xuanqing and goes to other places to repeat them. Or he spends money to bribe scholars, ask scholars to listen to stories, and write them into stories to sell them. But no matter what, people's memory is limited, which is definitely different from what Zhang Xuanqing said.
Zhang Xuanqing laughed and said, "But he wants to disappoint Aunt Wang. After this preaching of the immortal enlightenment, I have to rest for a while."
As he became more and more famous in Huayuan County, more and more people came to seek enlightenment. Although nothing happened, some troubles were inevitable, so Zhang Xuanqing no longer planned to tell a story.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. A big tree will inevitably attract popularity, and a big problem will inevitably follow if it is famous.
Although he has not had a big trouble yet, he was shocked by his arguments with Master Ci'en two months ago. But if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, someone might take him as a stepping stone one day.
Originally, Zhang Xuanqing planned to continue to talk about the alchemy scriptures after he finished speaking, so that the famous Taoist priests could help him distinguish the authenticity of each alchemy scripture, but those Taoist priests really disappointed him.
I don’t know if it’s because of his great reputation or the famous Taoist priests are all mediocre people. In short, when discussing Taoism with those Taoists, those Taoists are like classics. Even if they have questions, they can answer them casually. It’s better to discuss Taoism with Sun Simiao to get more things.
At first, Zhang Xuanqing was still thinking of "reviewing the old and learning the new", but now that time has passed, everything that should be warm has become warm, and everything that should be known is also known. In fact, the remaining Taoist priests did not help him, and he was too lazy to argue with those Taoist priests anymore.
After chatting with Uncle Liu and Aunt Wang for a while, they sent the two of them away. Zhang Xuanqing said hello to Liu Shenwei and asked Liu Shenwei to visit the clinic, while he went to Zuixianglou.
When I arrived at Zuixiang Tower, there were many guests in Zuixiang Tower, including businessmen, Confucian scholars, and young masters, but more Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, accounting for almost half of the number of people in Zuixiang Tower.
As Zhang Xuanqing walked into the door, the people who were still noisy before suddenly became silent, and then stood up one after another and greeted Zhang Xuanqing: "Master Zhang is here?"
"Xuanqing Zhenren, take your seat quickly."
"Master Ziyang, I wonder what I want to talk about today?"
"Master Sanfeng, the path you talked about yesterday is still somewhat doubtful. I wonder if I can ask you for advice?"
There are many things, and there are all kinds of names.
Zhang Xuanqing nodded at everyone with a smile, walked to his "seat" and responded with a smile. When he sat in his seat, the scene became quiet again.
In the past two months, everyone has developed a habit. Before Zhang Xuanqing talked, he did not talk nonsense at all, and he started to speak directly. Only when he finished speaking would he talk about a few idle chapters with everyone and talk about a passage of alchemy.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xuanqing sat down, he picked up the gavel and patted it, followed by a final poem: "Story and opera encourage people to go to the center of the three great roads. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the right path in the world is vicissitudes." Then he paused for a moment before saying, "The last book said..."
The last book talks about Journey to the West Chapter 98: Apes are familiar with horses and horses are trained to escape from their shells, and they will be able to achieve success and see the true nature. Today, I will talk about it. The number of demons is gone, and the three threes are gone, and the path returns to the roots. Then I will go straight back to the east land, and the five saints become true, and the Journey to the West is finished.
Because Xuanzang had not traveled westward in this time and space, it was the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin had not yet become an emperor. When Zhang Xuanqing talked about Journey to the West, he did not talk about Xuanzang, but only talked about a monk; he did not talk about Li Shimin; he only talked about an emperor of a certain generation. However, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha were talking about it in real detail, as if they were really like them.
It is precisely because some plots need to be deleted and modified that Zhang Xuanqing finished the "combination book" of the two novels "The Legend of the Gods and Journey to the West" in more than two months.
At this time, people already knew that the "Xiuniu Hezhou" that Zhang Xuanqing had mentioned before was a Western Buddhist land, and they felt that Zhang Xuanqing's identity and origin were increasingly unfathomable.
Soon, after Zhang Xuanqing finished the last chapter of Journey to the West, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, someone asked loudly: "Master Xuanqing, Anu and Jiaye, the two venerables, asked Master Wukong and disciples for personnel matters, what's the point?"
"That's right, let alone Anu, how shameless Jiaye is. Taoist Master is clearly talking about the secret method of cultivation. Please help me solve my doubts!"
Journey to the West has the title of a book of practice, which hides many key points of practice. At this time, they were all discovered by Taoists. In conjunction with Zhang Xuanqing's alchemy scriptures, everyone felt that it was profound and unfathomable, otherwise so many Taoists would not like to listen to books.
Zhang Xuanqing smiled bitterly, pressed his hands and said aloud: "Everyone is quiet first, quiet. Today is my last time to tell you. Everyone has so many questions, I am afraid that I will be spared from the preaching later. Well, if you have anything to ask, please ask one by one. I am afraid that I will be in seclusion for a while in the future and can't see you!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
"Why is the Taoist priest not teaching anymore?"
"Is it because someone upset you?"
Zhang Xuanqing shook his head and smiled, "Don't think too much or persuade him. I have decided to tell you about it. It was just a whim. Later, everyone strongly requested it and said that it has reached the present. Now that the book has been finished, I don't know what happened next, so naturally I can't talk about it. In short, when we part today, we should go back wherever we should go, and don't stay here just because I am alone."
"This..." Everyone began to dissuade him, but Zhang Xuanqing had already made up his mind to stop causing trouble. At least this wave of things continued. He did not want to show off in front of others, and everyone had to do so helplessly.
"Since the Taoist priest is tired and wants to rest for a while, it is naturally difficult for us to dissuade him. I just hope that the Taoist priest will not forget us in the future. If there are any secret history of immortals and magic, we will also tell you the Taoist priest." The person who spoke was a young man, unlike a famous Taoist priest, he was only interested in the stories told by Zhang Xuanqing.
Zhang Xuanqing nodded happily: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." But in fact, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Everyone said a word and said, and they politely talked to Zhang Xuanqing for half an hour. Suddenly someone said, "Master Xuanqing, Jia Daowen, is not from the county. Today, the Taoist priest will go to seclusion when he goes back, and Xiaodao also has to return home. After such a separation, I don't know when I will listen to the Taoist priest's teachings again. Therefore, Xiaodao is brave enough to ask the Taoist priest to give one or two scriptures and study them home. I hope the Taoist priest's grace!"
As soon as this said, the tavern was quiet and the needles could be heard. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Some looked excited and some looked annoyed, as if they were not expecting it. In the end, everyone looked at Zhang Xuanqing with anticipation. Judging from their meaning, they were afraid that they would ask for something if Zhang Xuanqing agreed.
Zhang Xuanqing thought about it, his heart moved slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, today I will not talk about the Alchemy Sutra, so I will leave you an article "Yin Fu Jing". This book has more than 300 words, the first one hundred words of speech, the second one hundred words of speech, the last one hundred words of speech; there is a way of gods and immortals, the most powerful way of enriching the country and safeguarding the people, and the most powerful way of defeating soldiers. They are all scheming inside and adapting to human affairs outside. They are not a good person, so they cannot be heard of it. Therefore, the most powerful people can understand it, the wise people use it, and the correct people use it. Today I will pass it on to you, and I hope everyone can study it well, so that I will not leave a book for me." After that, I asked the waiter to use it to write it.
The Yin Fu Jing, also known as the Yin Fu Jing of Huangdi, is said to be written by Huangdi. It was not until the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty that it was obtained by a Taoist priest of Li Quan and passed on to the world. However, according to later generations, this book was written by later generations under the name of Huangdi. Zhu Xi said: "The Yin Fu Jing is written by Li Quan in the stone chamber for 300 words, and Li Quan was obtained in the stone chamber for 300 words... Some say that this book is done by Guan, and it is falsely obtained in the stone chamber for 200 years." It is very likely that the Yin Fu Jing was written by Li Quan, but it was spread throughout the world for 20 years under the name of Huangdi.
However, no matter what, Zhang Xuanqing has taken it out now. Not to mention that Li Xin has not been born yet. Even if this Yin Fu Sutra was really made by Huangdi, if Li Xin can get it, Zhang Xuanqing can't?
He didn't say that he wrote the Yin Fu Sutra!
The status of the "Yin Fu Jing" in Taoism is only a little lower than that of the Tao Te Jing. There are three hundred words of Yin Fu Jing and three thousand words of morality. According to legend, the subtleties of Yin Fu Jing and the eight scenes of Huangting are not enough to be mysterious; the most important thing in the Yin Fu Jing is not enough to be written by the classics; the clever and wisdom of Ren Yin Fu Jing are not enough to be strange. It can be said that the Yin Fu Jing is both a Taoist book and a military book, which is really a strange text for the ages.
