After a long run, it was over, but it was already late. Gongsun Zhenren walked out of the Xiuye Workshop slowly under the complicated eyes of the Taoist priests in Jingyun Temple.
Gongsun Zhenren walked west for nearly a hundred feet, entered the gate of Xiuwenfang, and returned to the gate of Hongdao Temple. After a few days, he saw the dilapidated gate again, but he already had a feeling in his heart that things are right and people are different. At this time, Hongdao
The Taoist boy on duty in the temple had already seen the figure of Zhenren Gongsun, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Gongsun, you are finally back! My temple master and brothers Shangqing Temple have been waiting inside for a long time."
However, Master Gongsun did not go in. He took a deep breath and said, "My little disciple, could you please ask the master of your temple to move here? The old Taoist has a few words to say and will leave immediately after saying that." The Taoist boy on duty was quite moved.
It was strange, but he didn’t say anything. He turned around and went in to report to Master Yuchi.
After just a moment, Master Yuchi gathered his fly whisk and quickly walked out of the gate. Seeing Master Gongsun standing there unscathed, he finally relaxed after hanging for a long time and said happily: "Brother Xuantong! Chong Lingzi is already here.
Come back and rest in the guest room now. Judging from your complexion, everything in the afternoon should go very smoothly. Come! Come! Come! We two old brothers will go back to the temple first, eat some fast food, and then play a few rounds of chess in the evening!"
Gongsun Zhenren handed over his hand and said: "Brother Yuchi, since we have cut off our robes and sworn off our righteousness, we must draw a line. You are here just to pick up my disciples in the temple. Thank you for telling the truth truthfully on the way at noon. Now I am involved.
The master of the Three Views in this matter has been cut off from the path of cultivating Taoism by me. The grudges and entanglements in the past, whether right or wrong, have all been revealed. I know that you have no choice but to do so in this matter, but I have already drawn it out.
Limit, Taiwei Palace will probably not be angry with you anymore."
Master Yuchi felt guilty and sad at the same time: "Brother Fool prides himself on being unrestrained and unrestrained, but when evil is about to attack good, he harbors illusions, is indecisive, and dare not stand against such evil deeds. This is because he wants to be safe and is afraid of trouble.
My heart is at work, so much so that I have hurt the friendship between you and my brother. Now it is too late to regret it. I only hope that when Brother Xuantong encounters difficulties again in the future, he can tell Brother Yu and give Hongdao Temple a chance to mend the situation."
Gongsun Zhenren cupped his hand again, but turned away without saying a word. Yuchi Zhenren sighed, turned around and went back, sending a Taoist boy to invite the Shangqingguan disciples to come out so that he could join Gongsun Zhenren.
When the dusk drums were beating, the thick clouds that had been stale for several days faded away from the leaden gray, and the edges were stained with the blood red of the sunset.
Zhu Jieran and Zhuo Songtao each carried two packages and carried the sleeping Yang Chaoxi on a stretcher. They stepped out of Hongdao Temple and walked towards Gongsun Zhenren. Huang Shuoben followed the stretcher to protect him. The moment he saw Zhenren Gongsun
, but ran forward excitedly and cried: "Guanzhu, you are finally back! We failed to protect Junior Brother Yang, and he was kidnapped by the thieves and was injured... Please punish me!"
Gongsun Zhenren said with a kind smile: "I know everything. Chong Lingzi is alive now, but he is a little weak. You have all tried your best. Hongdao Temple has given you a lot of help this time. You must keep this kindness in your heart.
"Now, let's not act like children here anymore. Before the evening drums are beaten, come with me to join an old friend and settle down first." The four disciples agreed and followed Gongsun Zhenren all the way.
He walked towards Dunhuafang and stopped until he reached the gate of Linji Temple.
Zhuo Songtao and Huang Shuo saw that the old friend mentioned by Gongsun Zhenren actually lived in Linji Temple, so they quietly looked at each other and gave each other a "clear" look. After their eyes separated, they coincided with each other.
After looking at the two unicorn stone sculptures in front of the gate, I couldn't help but feel a little funny thinking about what happened a few days ago.
At this time, the evening drums were about to expire, and the pilgrims had long disappeared. Linji Temple had already closed the door. The copper rings held by the two auspicious beasts were motionless on the door. Gongsun Zhenren stopped Zhu Jieran who was about to go up and knock on the door.
, walked forward by himself, held on to the cold door knocker, "Bang-bang, bang", a neat rhythm of knocking on the door sounded. He knocked once, waited for a while, and then knocked a second time. Until he knocked three times.
Afterwards, Master Gongsun took a step back and stood still. In less than ten breaths, the female Taoist priest Zhike opened the door.
Gongsun Zhenren slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Well done, fellow Taoist! Gongsun Xuantong from the Shangqing Temple, bows down to pay homage to Yuanyizi Temple, please let me know." The female Taoist priest Zhike looked a little wary, but she still agreed.
With a cry, he turned around and reported to the viewer.
Zhuo Songtao and Huang Shuo watched for a long time, but they didn't recognize this female Taoist priest Zhike. She was just much younger than the sister Jing Xizi who introduced them last time, with a round face and charming eyes.
After a while, the female Taoist priest who had known the guest came back: "Senior Gongsun! My temple leader has taken a rest. I want you and a few fellow disciples to settle down in the guest room in the front yard first. We will meet and talk again tomorrow." Master Gongsun didn't say much.
, he and his four disciples followed her, settled down in two guest rooms, washed up hastily and then went to sleep.
Yang Chao was still asleep. After all, Zhenren Gongsun couldn't rest assured, so he called Zhu Jieran and Zhuo Songtao, and directly carried Yang Chaoxi into his guest room and slept on the inside of the bed. He held the lamp and candle, picked up his left and right hands, and held them again
After checking his pulse, he realized in his heart: On the surface, this disciple appeared to be suffering from dampness and cold invading his body, and his qi was weak and his spirit was weak. However, in fact, his qi was strong and strong, and he was unable to get rid of the heat. As a result, his upper Dantian was always entangled with heat and poison, and his mind was unable to do anything.
Qingming, this is caused by those who have too little experience in practicing Qigong.
Gongsun Zhenren took off all the Taoist robes and undershirts from Yang Chaoxi's upper body. He also took a teacup, dipped his fingers in the water as a guide, and started from the Baihui point to inject a stream of Yang Yuan Qi. This Yang Yuan Qi,
Just like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, it awakens the dormant acquired Qi, and then leads it all the way down, through the eyebrows, philtrum, Adam's apple, chest, navel, and lower abdomen, directly to the upper, middle, and lower Dantian.
Through it, the small Zhoutian cycle that had been dormant for a long time began to run again. Whenever the acquired Qi in his body began to show signs of laziness, Gongsun Zhenren would inject another Yang Yuan Qi...
After drawing Qi through the acupoints like this for an hour, Yang Chaoxi opened his eyes and saw that the kind face of Master Gongsun was already covered with fine beads of sweat. He couldn't help but his eyes were slightly red and he shouted inaudibly.
: "Guanzhu..."
Seeing that he was awake, Gongsun Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief. He fetched some warm water and asked him to drink it. Then he opened the silk quilt, covered him, and watched him fall asleep again. After doing these things, he also felt
He walked to the figure standing outside the guest room, took a deep breath, and then said: "Come in!"
The door, which was paved with cloud and thunder pattern grilles, was pushed open with a "squeak" sound. A thin and tall figure, holding up a black and green two-color robe, moved towards this side. Every step he took,
It's like stepping on the heartbeat node.
Gongsun Zhenren's face was slightly startled, and the memories surged like a tide, overturning the rock of calmness. For a time, thousands of words were stuck in his throat... The two just looked at each other like that, and the weak light of the lamps and candles had already lit up.
Get up and take a clear picture of the other person's outline. The past has faded, and this feeling is like an illusion. One glance lasts for thousands of years.
"Brother Xuantong, you are finally willing to come to see me..." the figure said softly, with an unconcealed aura of twilight and deep affection in his voice.
Most of the separations in the world are just people turning around and pursuing their own journeys; but there are still a few separations, which are forced farewells. When we meet again, it will be like a lifetime ago.
"Sister Chunxi, we are all getting old now. Many old things, I never thought, would eventually become clear after many years. Good and evil, good and evil, joy, hatred, obsession, prejudice... Originally, I
Whatever you think you cherish and can’t let go of, you can look back and laugh it off.”
Gongsun Zhenren's eyes were clear and his face was smiling. In the eyes of the old woman named Chunxi, he quickly transformed into the appearance of a high-spirited young man. Years passed by, but his appearance never changed.
"Brother Xuantong, if there hadn't been... not those many things... the oath you said to me in front of Taoist Master... we would be in a different situation at this time... Later, you took off your clan status and became a wanderer in all directions.
, I sneaked out and looked for you everywhere... Later, I heard that you became a Taoist priest, so I also cut my hair and became a Taoist nun here in Linji Temple... I always follow your preferences, but...
I have never kept up with you..." Chunxi said this, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't mean to stop, "Now that you have fully realized it, I... still can't let go of these old thoughts... You
Look, even if I am practicing Taoism, I am still far behind you."
"Cultivating the Tao is also cultivating the mind. In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, and people have been hanging upside down. I had no choice but to get involved, and I gradually understood. However, I dare not forget all the things in the past! But after I can see clearly, I don't have to always be like before.
I just have to avoid you... Brother Yu will never learn to be too supreme and forget his feelings..."
Gongsun Zhenren's tone was calm and frank. But he had already understood in his heart that avoiding him but thinking about him was not as good as being upright and clearing up the karma that had been sown, so that he would owe a lot less to others and himself.
"My sister understands... When you make an oath, obsession will arise. If you restrict others and restrict yourself, it is difficult to achieve freedom! Now that you have returned to Taoism, you should recite it day and night, reciting it in the warm spring and holding it in the cold autumn...
Even if day and night come next to each other and the four seasons rotate, they are always the same."
Taoist Master Chunxi brushed away his tears and forced a smile. However, his heart dropped its defenses and fell under the young man's oath:
The lotus has parallel pedicles, and the goose has crossed necks.
Chunxi Xuantong, promise your heart and promise your destiny.
To know a beautiful woman, come to the autumn garden, and to choose a good companion, come to the spring garden.
How can father and brother seize ambition? Matchmakers cannot empathize!
We both live in Kunlun, and travel together to Pengying.
Wearing the sky above can make you mend, and walking down through the mountains and seas can bring you peace!
Speak with clear intentions and make an oath with sincerity.
In the long autumn night, there is a thin quilt and a solitary lamp. Prime Minister Bai missed a single promise, and shed only a thousand lines of tears through the cold window! The two looked at each other like this across the candle, and their intermittent words could not fully describe the unresolved separation for many years. The candlelight also separated the two.
The gray outline of a person is printed on the window lattice, swaying slightly with the wind that comes in.
The two talked for a long time, and the tears in Chunxi's eyes gradually stopped. Taoist priest Chunxi said with a smile: "What is the origin of this Chonglingzi Yang Chaoxi? He can obtain the true inheritance of brother Xuantong's swordsmanship. Back then, I pestered
I have been with you for so long, but you have only taught me one and a half moves. You also said that the clan rules are strict and are not allowed to be passed on to others, and you have not learned them all yourself. Now that I think about it, you are too partial!"
Gongsun Zhenren also smiled lightly and said: "Although this Chong Lingzi has entered my Shangqing Temple, he is actually a disciple of a fellow Taoist. We have made repeated calculations and concluded that he is the unborn 'Chosen Son'
'. I have observed for several years that this Chong Lingzi is indeed very spiritual and has great talents and talents. Last year, with a piece of yin and yang qin music, my knot in my mind about this set of family swordsmanship was solved. Now that the knot is over
Explanation, and the people in the clan have long since withered away, and there are no clan rules and prohibitions anymore, so I passed on this set of swordsmanship to him. If you still want to learn, you can demonstrate it in detail tomorrow, and that’s it.
A wish for me to go down the mountain this time.”
"As you just said, how many years can you be happy with an old man even if you learn it? But since you have come to visit, you should not be empty-handed. This set of swordsmanship is regarded as a knocking ceremony. I have agreed on behalf of all my disciples.
I also hope that this time... you won't break your promise again." Chunxi Dao Chang said with a smile, but there was still a hint of bitterness.
Mentioning the matter of passing on the sword, Gongsun Zhenren's face gradually became serious: "Back then, I defeated many of my comrades in Henan, which attracted some people to covet our swordsmanship. I thought that after many years, the hatred had disappeared, but this time I went down the mountain, it still attracted a few people.
The family is not getting along. This little Taoist boy also experienced some unfair things due to his sword skills in the past few days. Fortunately, he was rescued safely, and he was a blessing in disguise. His Taoist skills have greatly improved, and his future achievements are unpredictable."
Gongsun Zhenren said, his face suddenly became serious: "Today afternoon, I have been to Longxing, Daochong, and Jingyun Temple. Not only did I teach this sword technique, but I also eliminated some future troubles. But I must be on guard against others.
I came here this time with the intention of entrusting you."
Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Taoist Master Chunxi hurriedly said, "Brother Xuantong, it's okay to say it!"
Gongsun Zhenren sighed: "I'm just worried that the man from Taiwei Palace will not give up. He will use me to abolish the Dantian, the master of Sanguan Guan, to add fuel to the flames and make some articles, which will be detrimental to my Shangqing Guan. Therefore, I can only
You stay in the temple for a day or two, and after you have finished teaching the swordsmanship, you must take the other disciples back to the mountain first and make some preparations. The Chinese medicinal materials in Luoyang City are much more complete than those in the mountain, so Chong Lingzi asked Miss Chunxi to take care of them on his behalf.
, and then send him back after he has recovered both internally and externally."
Taoist Master Chunxi smiled and nodded: "This is a small matter. Since Brother Xuantong entrusted it to me, please don't worry."
The two of them talked for a long time across the country, and three voices came from the streets. It was already late. Taoist Master Chunxi stood up, bowed as he did many years ago, and then said reluctantly:
"Brother Xuantong, please rest early! See you tomorrow, you will still be the master of Gongsun Temple, and I will also take over with you in the name of Yuan Yizi, the master of Linji Temple. But I can't speak like this tonight...
"Gongsun Zhenren hurriedly raised his hands and bowed, and then this late and clear shadow disappeared into the guest room.
Gongsun Zhenren sat down on the wooden couch again, slowly closing his lips and teeth, and what flowed out was not a small verse of scripture, but a few words of oath:
Lotuses have parallel pedicles, and geese have crossed necks. Spring streams are in the same place, promising hearts and destiny...
The cold night extinguished the lonely lamp, leaving the last trace of green smoke rising up, which quickly dissipated into the silence. This relationship that had been sealed for many years also flew away...
