087、Beautiful and happy
087, only wish for happiness and happiness to be beautiful
Although the characters are traditional Chinese characters in Zhixu, most of Bai Shaoliu can recognize the ancient books that Feng Junzi threw to him, but they are confused when they are connected. It's funny to say that Xiaobai went to elementary school for six years, middle school for six years, and university for four years. In total, she had been studying hard for sixteen years, but she couldn't understand a book written in Zhixu's Chinese characters? The "Secret Book of White Lotus" is profound and difficult to understand. Xiaobai also asked Qingchen to help read it together. Qingchen dropped out of school for some reason before she went to college. Her foundation was not as good as Xiaobai, and she couldn't help.
Xiaobai remembered Feng Junzi at this time. Feng Junzi once told him two ways to read classics, especially when encountering profound and difficult books. One is to carefully study the meaning of the scriptures. Slowly push them like a bulldozer, and do not get distracted and not impatient. It is to understand it one by one, no matter how boring and profound you are, you must understand the essence bit by bit. Not only do you read ancient books in Zhixu Kingdom, but also read other classics. You should check information and make up for the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the tutoring of the
Then the second method is to read without asking for a lot of understanding. Don’t misunderstand this sentence. It does not mean looking at the past ten lines at a glance. In fact, this is a very boring and even boring method for reading the classics you cannot understand. That is, reading every word, line, page, chapter and section carefully. No matter whether you can understand it or not, you must carefully read every sentence in your eyes and imprint it in your heart. Reading it from beginning to end will make it better to memorize it!
Of course, this requirement is difficult for ordinary people. Feng Junzi never forgets it when he was young, and he could read the books without a teacher at the age of three. This is his special talent. Although Xiaobai has natural supernatural powers, he is different from Mr. Feng. But now he can only read the "White Lotus Secret Book" in his hand. If you really read a classic like this, even if you can't understand it, you will always read the words and phrases in the middle to understand it. After reading it through, it will not be without gains. If you do it again, you will find that the words and phrases in the middle can be connected into a string, and you will understand more and more, but you will never understand some things that you can't understand, which is where you have not yet learned it.
Xiaobai can wait until he returns to Wuyou to ask Baimao. Even if he asks Feng Junzi, he is always curious. He doesn't believe that Hong Hequan, a carpenter who has read books, can practice according to the "White Lotus Secret Book"? However, this secret book has been in Hong Hequan for more than ten years. Hong Hequan has consulted a large amount of information and conducted long-term research and verification to understand it. However, he has been able to enter the door of practice until Bishop Rashis has performed a ritual of awakening power for him, and he has not learned the Dharma. Xiaobai has only read it for a few days and his harvest is definitely not as good as Hong Hequan.
But Bai Shaoliu was not completely unearthed. After reading it over and over for five or six days, he read the "White Lotus Secret Book" three times, no matter whether he could understand it or not. He found that this was not a book that specifically talked about practice and Taoism, nor was it completely like a scripture that taught doctrines. It sounds a bit similar to the ideological education textbook I read when I was in school. Although the meaning of the scriptures is very profound, it is generally a book that describes a certain worldview system.
The general view in the book is that as many desires as sentient beings in the world have, there are so many joys and sufferings at the same time. This joy and suffering are one of the same causes and effects. From the doctrine point of view, it may come from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. From the perspective of practice, it is similar to the conscious vehicle, and it is mixed with many folk legends of the world-saving ideas. Of course, these are not completely distinguishable by Xiaobai. The ideal state described in the book is like a white lotus platform, which is open in the body and mind of a person, and can eventually lead sentient beings to the bright other shore of the Pure Land lotus. This other shore does not mean to cross a river, but a kind of "opening". As for how to open it, Xiaobai has not yet seen it clearly, he only saw these two words appear repeatedly.
Of course, the book is not purely a description of the worldview system. It also records a series of methods, how to experience, practice step by step, confirm that it will eventually become the incarnation of the Pure White Lotus Platform, and show yourself and everyone the world is not far or near, just between the opening and closing of the lotus. This series of steps is actually the mind and formula of practicing. Hong Hequan is also interested in and researching these things, and most of the things that Xiaobai doesn't understand very well now are also these contents.
Although I didn't understand it thoroughly, Xiaobai instinctively felt that the foundation of the series of practice methods recorded in the book was very similar to the "Pursuit of Desire" taught by Baimao. I don't know if it was a coincidence. If Xiaobai got the "Secret Book of White Lotus" and studied it for three or five years, and read the materials and learn the classics of various schools, maybe he could understand it, at least not worse than Hong and Quan. But firstly, Xiaobai knew the power of it, and he had some knowledge, so he had no need to take detours and effort, so he just studied and did not practice according to his own understanding of the words and phrases.
Xiaobai didn't understand most of the content, but a small part of it was generally understood, that is, it was about establishing the foundation of the Taoist temple. The content of this "White Lotus Secret Book" is somewhat mixed, which absorbs and combines a lot of ideas, and even includes folk Feng Shui and Taoist theory of cave heaven. In a sense, it also guides a person how to establish an organization and base, and establish a pure land with open lotus platform in the world in another way. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is also a matter of its own.
Where should such a Taoist temple be located? First of all, mountains should be clustered like lotus flowers, and clear springs bring earthly energy into the lotus heart to nourish and nourish. Looking at the clouds, the energy is like gathering the spiritual pivot of heaven and earth. After selecting such a place, how to build not only requires special materials and special formations, but also requires the use of the magic power of the practitioners to finally form a Taoist temple cave. In fact, the Taoist temple cave heavens of various sects in the world, regardless of their size, good or bad, are mostly made up of artificial construction and mana operation on the basis of natural formation. Xiaobai thought of the forest farm orchard hidden by Hong Hequan and others. Compared with the records of the "White Lotus Secret Book", it is really that kind of place.
Hong Hequan is guilty, but the place he chose is really good. According to the book, if you have the conditions in the future, you can buy that place and build a temple and cave. Xiaobai was lying on the sofa and daydreaming again when he saw it. At this moment, Qingchen walked out of the bedroom and said to him: "Brother Xiaobai, we have been here for more than a week. Why don't you rush back to Wuyou?"
Xiaobai put away the "White Lotus Secret Book" and said, "I'm waiting for you. I see that you are not in a good mood these days, so I want to spend more time with you at home. When do you want to leave, we will go back to Wuyou together."
Qingchen: "Let's leave tomorrow. Actually, today is my father's day of worship. I have been waiting until now and I want to visit my parents' graves."
Bai Shaoliu: "You should go, hurry up and buy some sacrifices. Where are we going?"
Qingchen: "Do you want to accompany me?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Of course!"
Qingchen: "My father's hometown is Jintian Town, Feishui Suburbs County. He and my mother are also buried together in an old cemetery not far from Jintian Town. Let's take a bus to go today."
Bai Shaoliu, Jintian Town, was where Hong Hequan was. Without saying a word, he got up with Qingchen and set off with him. He took a taxi to buy sacrifices in Feishui city, and then took a bus to Jintian Town. The cemetery was on a mountain about ten miles outside Jintian Town. He walked with Qingchen to the cemetery to pay homage to her parents. Qingchen had been biting his lips and not talking in front of his parents' tomb. He symbolically added a handful of soil to the tomb. Xiaobai also bowed with her to worship.
Qingchen was in a low mood and was silent. When he walked out of the cemetery, Xiaobai tried his best to ask for words to comfort her and said, "It turns out that your parents are buried here. Actually, I have been here and I have paid tribute to all the graves."
Qingchen: "How did you come here?"
Xiaobai pointed to a mountain in the distance: "I hid on the top of that mountain for three days and three nights, and Hong Hequan and others hid in a yard of a big forest farm in the outskirts of Jintian Town. On the third morning, I was hungry and wanted to go to the town to buy some food but was afraid of being exposed. I saw someone coming to visit the grave in this cemetery from afar and put a few white flour steamed buns in front of the grave."
Qingchen continued: "Then you took away the steamed buns while no one was taking them away. In this winter, you were gnawing cold steamed buns on the mountain?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Although it is cold and hard and there is still ash on it, I think it is delicious. When I took the steamed buns, I walked in a hurry. I don't know which steamed buns it was. When I walked out of the cemetery, I remembered to say hello, and turned around and bowed to the cemetery and said thank you."
Qingchen gently punched him: "You are a thief!"
Bai Shaoliu: "You can't say that. In the future, I will ask someone to completely repair this cemetery when I have the chance. You see, some graves are almost buried by weeds. I don't know who I want to thank, so I thank everyone."
Qingchen: "Have a chance? What opportunity are you talking about?"
Bai Shaoliu: "There is a place here, which originally belonged to Hong Hequan. According to the records of the "White Lotus Secret Book", it is a good place to build a temple and cave heaven. When I have money in the future, I will buy all this place and build my own cultivation cave heaven."
Qingchen: "What's the matter?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Then I will give it to you as a gift. Since you and I are both practitioners of Taoism, giving a temple to your beloved Taoist couple should be considered a love-like thing that can be taken advantage of, right?"
Qingchen finally smiled: "You speak so generously. When you have money in the future? How much does that cost?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Although there are not so many now, a master like Mr. Mei also said that I have great potential in the future."
Qingchen: "You are not as good as me. My parents left me a house in Feishui. Although I don't have much savings, I still have a little bit of it. What about you? You don't even have your own house in Wuyou, and you still live in your sister Zhuang's house."
Xiaobai was happy when he heard this, and at the same time he felt relieved. Why? If you change this sentence, I might not be able to hear any problem, but for Xiaobai, the situation is very different. First of all, Qingchen did not call Zhuang Ru "that woman", but instead said "You Sister Zhuang" for the first time. Although it was unintentional, Xiaobai also breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that he would return to Qingchen's residence after Wuyou. If she couldn't get along with Zhuang Ru, she would really have to find a place to take care of herself. It seemed that there was no trouble for the time being when she heard this sentence.
When people were happy, they talked too much. Xiaobai looked up and said, "I still have some money now. I'm more than one million yuan. Don't worry about the house. You can buy one car first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go out. Buy an ordinary family car for the time being... When I have money in the future, I buy two cars, one for orders and one for double numbers, two villas, one for winter and one for summer vacation..." He suddenly stopped at this point because the next sentence was to hug one on the left and one on the right. These are jokes between the students in the dormitory when I was studying.
Qingchen continued to ask, "Where is the Taoist temple and cave heaven? Do you also need to build two places?"
Xiaobai followed the words that made her happy and said: "It is not impossible if you have the conditions. You can build a place here. In addition, the island you were staying in a few days ago is good. How about building another overseas fairy palace there?"
Qingchen hugged one of his arms: "You might as well buy a car first!"
Bai Shaoliu: "Yes, go back to Wuyou and buy a car first!...How do we go now? Are we waiting for the passing bus on the side of the road?"
Qingchen: "Don't worry, let's go and see the orchard farm first. Tell me how to build a temple and cave?" Xiaobai actually thought of it occasionally, but Qingchen was very interested. He knew that the possibility was very small, but he was also curious. Who wouldn't want to listen to his lover weave a beautiful dream for her? Although he knew in his heart that this was just a dream.
Qingchen was happy that Xiaobai certainly did not refuse. He hugged her and climbed to the top of the mountain that once lurked, standing in this place, and saw everything in the orchard farm. Xiaobai waved his arm and pointed at the surrounding mountains and said, "Look at the hills around him, although the mountains are not high, the plants and trees are lush. This should be the gathering of the growth energy mentioned in the book. The mountains in this radius of hundreds of miles are like petals. We are now standing on the tip of a large petal, and the center of the flower is the small hill in the courtyard. Hong Hequan also built a temple on that mountain. There is a clear spring flowing out under the backyard wall of the temple, which is the Lingshu location of the building of the Cave Heaven Taoist Temple in the classics."
Qingchen: "Brother Xiaobai, you are so good. Have you understood such profound books?"
Bai Shaoliu: "I just understand this little bit. In fact, it is very troublesome to build a temple and cave. I don't know what to do. But it doesn't matter. If it is really possible, we can ask many experts to help."
Qingchen: "Do you still need an expert to do it?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Of course, and it cannot be achieved by one person's power. You have to cooperate with special materials to operate the earth's Qi Lingshu and arrange magic arrays to form a cave barrier. After the cave is built, it is invisible outside. There are special ways to enter and exit. Whether it is practice or seclusion, it is the best place in the world... I know so much."
Qingchen became more and more interested in listening to it. He pointed to the forest farm and said, "It turned out that it was hidden and invisible. Then this place needs to be redecorated and bought a piece of the surrounding forest for cover. It is best to buy the half street outside the town. Outside, it is an ordinary building in the town. Even if you open a few shops to do business, you can walk through it from there to enter the entrance of the forest farm to connect the cave heaven... Brother Xiaobai, what do I think?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Your idea is very good and expensive!... I just said that, you seem to be very serious?"
Qingchen: "I also know that this is just a wish, but it is always good to have a wish. Things may not be successful, but ideas must be there."
Bai Shaoliu: "It's getting dark, let's go back, we'll go back tomorrow. How can we go back?"
Qingchen: "Take the bus."
Bai Shaoliu: "I mean how to return to Wuyou? I came by plane. Will we still fly back?"
Qingchen: "I don't want to take the plane, can we take the train?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Of course it's good. The road is a bit far. I'll go buy a ticket tonight."
"Hey, Sister Zhuang!... It's me, are you okay at home recently?... I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go home the day after tomorrow...... Let me tell you a good, good news, our savior... Yes, it's her, she's not dead, I found her, she was a little injured, I want to take her back to Wuyou to recuperate.... OK, OK, thank you!"
This was at Feishui Railway Station. Xiaobai took the opportunity to buy tickets and called Zhuang Ru. He could not just "explain" Zhuang Ru about Zhuang Ru. If he wanted to take Qingchen home, he had to ask Zhuang Ru's opinions. Although he knew that Zhuang Ru would not object. Huang Jing's newly rented house was already available. After Qingchen returned, he lived in the empty room he had prepared. Before the New Year, Xiaobai discussed with Zhuang Ru with Zhuang Ru to invite Qingchen to "spend the New Year together". Now the New Year has not been completed, but it has been changed to "living together".
