After the class meeting was over, it was time for school to end. Those who should go home went home, and those who should stay overnight went back to their dormitories.
Yu Guijun, who received Luo Xuan's advice today, really ran back and forth to get everyone's lunch boxes.
And he also said that if he needs to fetch hot water in the evening, he will take care of it.
It's just that you have to pay for hot water.
The school's kitchen will provide hot water to students in the morning and evening, but they only need to pay a small fee for charcoal.
A basin of hot water costs 1 cent, and a bucket of hot water costs 3 cents.
Many students who are reluctant to spend such a small amount of money will take a washbasin and scoop out a basin of cold water from the stone water tank at the door of the dormitory.
When bathing and washing your face, you basically use cold water all year round, but you can save 1 or 2 yuan.
And those female students who are in their menstrual period can only choose to go to the kitchen to get some hot water and mix it with some cold water.
While Yu Guijun was running in and out, Luo Xuan discussed with Wang Bing and Peng Yong about recommending him as the "dormitory manager" of this dormitory.
Peng Yong was originally full of confidence and was aiming for the position of sports committee member.
It's just that he just transferred to another school and is new here, so he is not popular among his classmates.
So in the end, he only took the position of team leader.
There are 33 students in the class, divided into 4 groups.
Now that Peng Yong has seven little brats under him, he naturally doesn't want to compete with Yu Guijun for the position of dormitory manager.
Wang Bing always had a calm temper. After hearing what Luo Xuan said and seeing how hard Yu Guijun ran forward and backward, he nodded in agreement.
Since then,
Yu Guijun has the courage to take on the hard job of being a loser, which can be regarded as a complete decision.
For dinner in the dormitory, as usual, Yu Guijun, Peng Yong, and Wang Bing sat together to eat.
Luo Xuan still held his lunch box alone and sat on his bed to eat.
This is what Luo Xuan did intentionally.
Because sometimes he would hide in the space to eat, so Luo Xuan didn't want them to figure out his eating pattern.
At the same time, Luo Xuan didn't want to get too close to them.
After eating, he threw the lunch box to Yu Guijun to wash.
Luo Xuan took this and that "Tongxuan Zhenjing" and strolled towards Nanhua Palace again.
First, there were a few sentences in the scriptures that Luo Xuan didn't quite understand.
Secondly, just take a walk to eliminate food.
Inside Nanhua Palace, other Taoist priests were meditating in their own meditation rooms.
Taoist priests believe in "not eating after noon", so they meditate in their respective rooms to save energy.
Among the Taoist temples, only Huayang Lao Tao and Ji Xuyuan were sitting in the main hall chatting.
When the two of them saw that Luo Xuan had just cheated him into getting this book, they began to study it seriously.
Huayang Laodao and Ji Xuyuan couldn't help but smile at each other, and they were both secretly happy!
"Laozi said: 'There is a unified thing that existed before the creation of heaven and earth and has no specific shape."
"Its nature is profound and unfathomable."
"We can't hear its sound, so we can only name it reluctantly, calling this mixed thing 'Tao'."
Ji Xuyuan patiently explained: "The Tao is the highest but has no apex, and the deepest cannot be measured. It encompasses the heaven and the earth."
It is infinite in space and infinite in time.
The mountains are high because of the Tao, the abyss is deep because of the Tao, and the stars move because of it..."
After listening, Luo Xuan nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your summary. But I came today not to seek advice from [Da Tong Hun Ming, the deep and vast cannot be regarded as external, and the cutting off of the light cannot be regarded as internal. There is no ring and blockage in the world."
, and between existence and non-being] the meaning of this scripture."
"In ancient times, the three emperors were unified by the Tao. They stood in the middle. In the center, the gods and transformations traveled to caress the four directions. Harmonize the yin and yang, coordinate the four seasons, adjust the five elements, moisten the grass and trees, and soak the metal and stone."
"A father does not have to worry about losing his son, a brother does not have to cry for his younger brother, and thieves are not capable of doing so. This is because of virtue."
Luo Xuan asked Ji Xuyuan, "Let's not talk about the three ancient emperors. Did they rely on 'virtue' to gain such a huge territory, or did they rely on a certain machete called 'virtue' to grab other people's territory."
"Nowadays, thieves are no longer rampant."
Luo Xuan stared at Ji Xuyuan and asked, "Senior, I would like to ask, is it achieved through 'virtue', or is it achieved through 'law' and 'poverty'?"
"Well……"
Ji Xuyuan, who had learned to remember and was a man of tact and flexibility, couldn't help but be speechless when hearing Luo Xuan's question.
I was stunned on the spot for a moment!
If this topic were explored further, Ji Xuyuan probably wouldn't be able to argue with Luo Xuan himself.
In the debate between morality and law, unless you are bragging about your top kung fu skills; otherwise, you are proficient in Tai Chi Kung Fu and can change the topic.
Otherwise, Taoism has really been unable to argue with Legalism since ancient times.
Moreover, what Luo Xuan brought up is of immediate relevance. This topic is too sensitive!
If Ji Xuyuan dares to argue with Luo Xuan on this issue, it is very likely that he will fall into the huge pit dug by Luo Xuan...
——If Luo Xuan is really digging a hole.
However, judging from Ji Xuyuan's superficial understanding of Luo Xuan, it is still unclear whether Luo Xuan has dug a hole for himself on this issue!
so,
Ji Xuyuan, who had originally made up his mind to keep his tail between his legs, didn't dare to take up Luo Xuan's topic for a while.
"Don't talk about it, well, Tongxuan Zhenjing is one of the four major Taoist classics."
Huayang Lao Taoist hurriedly smoothed things over, "This sutra is also called "Wenzi". Its profound meaning is unfathomable, and the avenue it contains is so vast! Fellow Taoist, you can study the rest, don't be obsessed with this paragraph..."
"What did you say, old man?"
Luo Xuan turned to look at Huayang Old Taoist and asked: "Studying the meaning of the scriptures, is there any reason to take a detour when you encounter something that doesn't make sense?!
This is like if your stomach is smooth but your throat is blocked, how can you still eat the next thing?
Or if your small intestine is stagnant and you are still stuffing delicious food into your stomach, you are not afraid of death from swelling?
When studying the scriptures, if one part is not understood, there will be flaws in hundreds of places. If it is generalized, it will not hurt, and if it is generalized, it will not hurt. If you don’t smooth it out, how can you study the rest? How can there be a way around it? "
When Old Taoist Huayang said this, he couldn't help but stand on the spot.
In fact, it is not that Huayang cannot debate scriptures with Luo Xuan.
Moreover, Huayang Lao Taoism has been teaching Taoism for decades, so he is confident that he can convince Luo Xuan.
But the problem is: the "Dharma" mentioned by Luo Xuan is followed by the word "poor", which leads to the current phenomenon of people not closing their doors at night and not picking up things on the road.
How could Old Taoist Huayang dare to investigate this matter with Luo Xuan?
The stakes are high.
If you don't pay attention, Huayang's life is not guaranteed, and even the entire Nanhua Palace may be in danger!
Therefore, Huayang Lao Taoist resorted to the "Great Shift of the Universe" to avoid this topic.
"Infinite Life Buddha."
"What this fellow Taoist said is absolutely true. Huayang, if you don't practice enough, don't try to disturb others by trying to make trouble."
An old voice sounded from behind the curtain of the main hall, "This little friend, can you come to my quiet room for a chat?"
When this sound sounded, Luo Xuan suddenly felt waves of fluctuations in his mind like waves!
jade?
Luo Xuan was overjoyed: As expected!
Sure enough, there are some good things hidden in Nanhua Palace!
But it’s normal to think about it.
Nanhua Palace, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, was now used to make steel for the iron nails on the gate and the big iron bells used as morning bells and evening drums.
The big drum was moved to the Yongxing Reservoir construction site and used to encourage migrant workers.
But the classics and other items in Nanhua Palace have not suffered disaster yet.
so,
It's really not surprising that the experienced Taoists in this temple have some good things in their hands.
Luo Xuan always went to Taoist temples during this period, just to give it a try and see if he could get some Taoist classics to preserve.
In addition, I also had a vague idea in my mind that I wanted to see if I could find some good stuff...
As a century-old brand, how could Nanhua Palace not have a few big investors to support it financially and materially?
Now that Luo Xuan heard the mysterious old Taoist speak and invite himself to listen to his lectures and teachings, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy!
Just now, I racked my brains and discussed scriptures and Taoism with them, in fact, just to make Ji Xuyuan and Huayang Taoist look down on me.
If I always talk to them about trivial matters in life, how can people like Ji Xuyuan think highly of me?
If you want to get something, you must first integrate into their circle.
"Senior Ji, can you accompany me?"
Luo Xuan asked Ji Xuyuan, "I'm just an ignorant kid with a very secular mind. There are many things, and I'm afraid I have to trouble Senior Ji to check them for me."
Ji Xuyuan looked at Luo Xuan with a complicated expression, and then nodded slowly: "I hope you have a kind heart. Even if Luo Xuan can't save people in danger, you won't do anything to add insult to injury."
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "Am I such a bad character in the eyes of Senior Ji? I will indeed use all kinds of tricks just for a piece of food or a piece of cloth.
But I asked myself, I am not so bad that I have sores on my head and pus on the soles of my feet.
We will not do anything that harms others but does not benefit ourselves...Actually, I am kind-hearted, but everyone has not noticed this advantage in me."
"The stakes are so high that I have to be cautious."
Ji Xuyuan also smiled and said: "If it only concerns me, an old man, I can stay calm. But it concerns the survival of Nanhua Palace. Old man, I will be shattered to pieces. I will be criticized by thousands of people afterwards, so what's the problem?"
The conversation between Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan was naturally understood by Huayang Taoist.
Ji Xuyuan is warning Luo Xuan: Don't add insult to injury to Nanhua Palace, which is already in a difficult situation. Otherwise, Ji Xuyuan will kill Luo Xuan even if he fights for his life!
Luo Xuan was assuring Ji Xuyuan: Master, you are overthinking.
I, Luo Xuan, am not that bad...
Nanhua Palace has many side courtyards, with winding paths leading to secluded areas and flourishing ancient trees.
In a quiet room away from the main hall.
After some haggling...no, it was Luo Xuan and Lao Dao, Ji Xuyuan, in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, after some frank exchanges...
Cheng Mao, the bald man with all white beard and hair, retired to Nanhua Palace Temple, and asked Ji Xuyuan slowly, "Will the storm outside be able to calm down?"
Ji Xuyuan whispered: "The breeze brings new clouds, and the rain will return quickly."
Cheng Mao sighed slightly and turned to ask Luo Xuan, "This little fellow Taoist, is it true that among the list of makers of the threshing machine, I can bear the name of Nanhua Palace?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
The threshing machine that I built myself will be said to the outside world in the future that it was improved by the old masters of Nanhua Palace and myself.
Then,
Nanhua Palace will go to the Iron Works Society, find someone to build several new threshing machines, and donate all the threshing machines.
In this way, Nanhua Palace has become a model of "supporting the production and construction of agricultural cooperatives."
That is tantamount to putting an excellent protective shield on these veterans, as well as Nanhua Palace itself.
With the ancient masters standing in front of him, and the loud and well-known Nanhua Palace sign covering his face, Luo Xuan himself could not look so dazzling...
After Luo Xuan and Cheng Mao Lao Dao discussed the list of reformers, now the only thing left was how to obtain the steel quota.
Ji Xuyuan said: "The steel needed to build the machine should wait until I return to the county town to figure out a solution. It only takes about 300 kilograms of iron material, so it is not difficult."
Hearing what Ji Xuyuan said, Master Chengmao felt relieved.
"Young Taoist friend, you can do what you want. There are no secret rooms in my Nanhua Palace, let alone tunnels."
Old Taoist Cheng Mao smiled slightly and said, "Everything that catches your eyes, little friends, are free to take it."
Luo Xuan stood up and said, "I only want these two things. As for the rare books in your temple, let the old temple owner decide on his own."
As he said that, Luo Xuan took down the black Ruyi from the desk beside him, and then pointed at Cheng Mao's wrist.
On his wrist, there is a bracelet.
Between the ebony agarwood beads, there is a small white jade.
Master Chengmao took off his bracelet and handed it to Luo Xuan.
After taking the things, Luo Xuan thanked him in a low voice, then opened the door and left.
Heaven's virtue is immeasurable, and its illumination has existed since ancient times.
Xuanyuan hears and sees everything, which is combined with the heart of a sage.
The morality is grand and peaceful, and the source of Dharma is vast.
There are chapters in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the merits guarantee loyalty.
This is the generation ranking of the Zhengyi Jingming sect of Taoism.
It's just that now is the new era, and later the words "Eastern Han Dynasty Youzhangshu" were changed to "Huayang Youzhangshu".
Otherwise, Huayang Old Taoism would have to be called "Dongyang Old Taoism".
Therefore, Huayang Lao Tao, who belongs to the generation with the character "Hua", is one generation lower than his uncle's generation with the character "Cheng".
As the only remaining Taoist of the "Cheng" generation in Nanhua Palace, Taoist Chengmao looked at Luo Xuan's retreating back and sneered: "This kid knows his stuff!"
Outside Nanhua Palace,
Luo Xuan hid the Ruyi vertically in his clothes and secretly laughed in his heart: Don't think that if you used earthen paint to make this jade Ruyi black and numb, we wouldn't be able to recognize it.
There will be a mysterious reaction between the space and the jade.
I have been to Nanhua Palace several times before, but the space did not respond.
Luo Xuan guessed: It might be because it was too far away from the courtyard where Chengmao Lao Tao meditated.
That's why the space didn't sense the existence of jade.
Today I came to Huayang Old Taoist to talk nonsense. I originally planned to try to see if I could trick him into collecting a few more Taoist classics.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist Chengmao who was hiding deep in the back house was recruited!
What you lose is what you gain in the east, it’s worth it!
