Chapter 297: The Method of Opening the Church of the Innate Way
After Sun Yue had eaten and drank enough, she licked her lips and said, "Brother Dao, how many of you are there? If there are few people, I will give you a piece of land in the future. If there are many people, I advise you to disperse as soon as possible. There will be no good results."
A short sentence. It contains a lot of content. Officials and bandits meet with swords sooner or later. Friendship over a bowl of soba noodles. Just one sentence to remind you.
"Thank you Monkey King for informing me. I will talk to the head of the family. Are you going back?" Horse Thief Scabbard Yunsao b1 3kanwang/b Gao Yao Wuyun.
"Yes. We worshiped the gods all the way and then returned to the capital." Gao Yaowun left the herbal tea shop with a sarcastic look on his face. This time he won't cause trouble for the horse thieves. Next time, he will serve everything in one pot.
Sun Yue laughed and said: "Brother Dao, come to the capital to play when you have time. My senior brother opens a restaurant."
After a while, "What kind of restaurant is this? Monkey King, why don't you explain clearly?" Scabbard Yun's brain was not working well and he couldn't understand what Sun Yue said. He shouted at the top of his lungs at the three horses going away.
The three galloping horses headed directly towards Maplewood House in Xiejiaying. Sun Yue's face showed excitement. Fighting and killing were the most exciting. Negotiating and fighting alone. This kind of disputes and wars in the world cannot be done. Compare it to the last time he made a sneak attack on Balizhuang. He made friends with Apusa at Maple Forest House. This time, he gave Apusa a hollow glutinous rice dumpling. The hero bravely broke into the enemy camp.
Xiantian Tao is Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The three religions are integrated into one. It belongs to an emerging force. The new teachings give people new hope. It is in the ascendant among the people. At this time, the believers are mainly middle and low-level civilians. Xiantian Tao Believers do not need to be shaved. They wear hair and practice. Taoist friends can get married. In the front hall of Maplewood House, a huge Maitreya Buddha is enshrined. Good men and women come and go in an endless stream. There is a lot of incense. Judging from the scene, religious people are dressed up and going. Taoism is closely related. The people who preside over the incense altar in Fenglinwu all wear green robes similar to those of Taoist priests. They hold whisks in their hands. Everyone looks like an expert outside the world and speaks verses.
Apsa was sitting on the altar. He opened the altar and taught the Dharma. The plump Apsa was in his forties. He sat cross-legged and said in a loud voice: "In order to learn the true secrets of the Tao and practice the true fruits of the Tao, I started when I was eight years old. Practice. Travel around the world for more than 30 years. Just like the Tang Monk in "Journey to the West". He went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships. After going through a lot of hardships, he worshiped the real master, the master, and learned the great way. The true secret. Just as the founder of Tai Chi, Zhang Sanfeng, wrote in his poem about Taoism: "I have been living in poverty for decades. When I met a master, I bit into the iron buns." Then I went through a lot of hardships to cultivate the great path. I cultivated the great path and became healthy physically and mentally. I returned to my original nature. It’s otherworldly. Heaven and man are one. Everything is fine...
"Dongzhen Church" Fenglin Branch can open a sermon here so that everyone can cultivate the Tao. After careful consideration, I decided to teach the "Xiantian Dao" secretly taught by Huangdi and Laozi to the church members. I taught Huangdi , the "Xiantian Tao" exercise secretly passed down by Lao Tzu. The ancients called it "Kai Pudu". According to ancient Taoism b1 3kanwang/b: In ancient times, the Pudu was only opened once every sixty years. It can be seen that the opportunity to learn the Tao and cultivate the Tao is extremely rare. .Opportunities are extremely precious. This time in Kaipudu: fate, geography, and human connections are all in harmony. It’s a great opportunity. You must not miss it.”
The believers worshiped under the altar. "Thank you, Master Apsa, for your teaching. We are willing to worship Wushenglao as the main god of our faith." As they spoke, each of the faithful men and women threw gold, silver, copper coins, and even the jewelry on their heads into the edge of the altar. In a large cauldron, the clear and sweet sound of metal collisions can be heard endlessly.
Sun Yue, Gao Yao Wuyun and "Water Floating" Rong Yuan, led by Apusa's disciples, knelt at the door where the plaque of "Dongzhen Hall" was hung and waited quietly. Seeing this scene, Sun Yue understood it and also followed the faithful men and women. Behind him, when it was his turn to walk into the bronze cauldron, Sun Yue respectfully put two silver ingots weighing twenty taels into the cauldron, making everyone around him exclaim.
Apusa, who was sitting on the altar, nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Sun Yue. The god-like figure did not see that murderous intent was lurking around. The officers and soldiers had already gathered around.
Sun Yue showed respect on her face, but she was thinking in her heart that this is the money to buy your life. "Xiantian Dao" accepted the silver ingot. Don't say that I didn't warn you when I go to the underworld in the future.
After a round of alms, Apsa, who was sitting on the altar, continued to preach: "The ancients talked about cultivating the Tao, which mainly refers to cultivation. It was started by the ancestors of our Chinese nation, Huangdi, Laozi, Confucius, and then Sakyamuni from India. Nifa spreads widely. This time, if you practice the innate way, you can have a healthy and extraordinary life, and the unity of heaven and man. As long as you are not afraid of nine or eighty-one difficulties, you can live a long and healthy life, and you can cultivate the great road. The ancients called it super rebirth and death. Man and heaven walk in the palace of heaven... Cultivating the path of innate heaven is the most important thing in life. The most important thing. It is also the happiest thing in life. Whoever is kind-hearted and compassionate by nature will have a deep foundation in cultivating the Tao. Those who have high cultural literacy, see through the world of mortals, and realize that cultivation of life is the first priority. Anyone can cultivate the Dao to a higher level. Practice the Dao of Huangdi and Lao Tzu. Now it’s up to you whether you cultivate or not.”
"Master Apsa, we practice the innate way." Everyone in the lobby bowed in worship. The incense was refreshing. Hundreds of people in the dark were immersed in the appeal of the way.
"Hahahaha." Apsa laughed happily and said: "The best way in life is to cultivate the Tao. People have great sages from all walks of life in China since ancient times. They cultivate the innate Tao."
Sa Dingding, the great disciple of Master Apsa, stood aside and said: "What Master Apsa said about the great sages from all walks of life in China in ancient times. Most of the great sages cultivated the Great Way is absolutely true. Our Morning Scroll records the four thousand years of China. The "Twenty-Two Histories" of the history of civilization are clear at a glance. Most of the great figures from all walks of life who have made great achievements in Chinese history have longed for the Tao and practiced the innate Tao throughout their lives. They are Fuxi, the ancestor of Yi, Guangchengzi, the ancestor of Dan, and Xuanyuan, the ancestor of Chinese humanities. Huang Di, Laozi, the founder of Chinese Taoism. King Wen of Zhou, the ancestor of the Chinese Book of Changes, Confucius, the founder of Confucianism in Chinese education, Sun Wuzi, the great military strategist of China, Gui Guzi, the great scholar of Chinese Daoism, Huang Shigong, the great cultivator of China, Zhang Liang, the teacher of Chinese emperors, China Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, Wei Boyang, the author of "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi", the "Eternal Alchemy King" of China, Zhang Heng, the great Chinese scientist, Wang Xizhi, the Chinese calligrapher, Sun Simiao, the Chinese medicine king, Li Bai, the Chinese poetry immortal, Zhongli of Han Dynasty, the first of the eight Chinese immortals, China Lu Dongbin, one of the eight immortals, Zhang Guolao, a master of Chinese Zhendao, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Chinese Tai Chi, Guanyin Bodhisattva, a great master of Chinese dual cultivation. There are too many to list. I will not list them one by one. This shows how profound the innate Tao is. Knowledge. How many sages have understood its true meaning?"
Sun Yue looked at Gao Yao Wuyun and Rong Yuan who were kneeling next to them. The three of them had different expressions. Xiantian Dao is really extraordinary. The three religions can be combined into one. All the great sages in ancient times were followers of Xiantian Dao. She raised her head. Maitreya Buddha is exactly the same as the White Lotus Sect. The modification of the teachings can create a new world.
The long sermon ended. Sun Yue was finally able to talk to Apusa. She respectfully handed over the greeting card and said: "Hello, Master Apusa. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Li Guolou, the Hanzan Liang of the Ministry of Punishment. Greetings. I was offended so much that I didn’t have time to visit you last time. This time Captain Li returned to Beijing and will come to visit you tomorrow. Captain Li hopes to receive your teachings."
Apsa laughed and said: "I've heard his name for a long time, but unfortunately I've never met him. I'm really looking forward to meeting Captain Li this time. I heard that Captain Li is a Catholic. Why do you want to meet me?"
Sun Yue smiled and said: "Master Apsa and Captain Li, as the peace officer, are very concerned about the security of Xiejiaying. Nowadays, banditry is everywhere. A group of rebels just appeared in Balizhuang. They are poisoning the people of all sides and shocked the court. .Such a thing happened at the feet of the Emperor. Captain Li is very much looking forward to peace and quiet in the outskirts of the capital. He is united under one flag. He also hopes to get strong help from the Xiantian Taoists. Let Xiejiaying be blessed by the emperor's grace."
Apsa looked up to the sky and laughed. He said with great satisfaction: "It's easy to say. Let me, Apsa, save all sentient beings in Xiejiaying. There will be peace and tranquility here. The people live and work in peace and contentment. They don't pick up things on the road. They don't close their homes at night. I will burn incense and chant sutras tomorrow and wait for the distinguished guests to welcome you. ." After saying that, Apusa turned around and walked towards the inner hall. He didn't even drink a cup of tea with Sun Yue and others. He left the matter of entertaining the three donors to his disciples. He felt that he had to say a few words to Sun Yue. Give enough face.
"Thank you, Master." Sun Yue bowed to the end, staring at his feet and sneering. He stayed at the feet of the capital and didn't know which house to burn incense. He still wanted to be arrogant. Go and daydream about the Spring and Autumn Period.
Several distinguished apprentices accompanied Sun Yue and others to drink tea in the living room. The fragrant tea was really good tea. Gao Yaowun put down the tea cup and said carelessly: "Master Sa Dingding. This used to be the residence of Wang Shiren's family. I heard it is the most scenic place in Xiejiaying. Can you let us visit it?"
"Oh... I can't tell that Gao Yao is the head hunter. He has a clear understanding of Maplewood House's past and present lives. Of course you are welcome to see it. When the tour is over, I will accompany you all. Dinner." Sa Dingding glanced at the three people in front of him, his heart full of suspicion.
The officers and soldiers have always "never missed it when passing by." There is no such thing as sending money twice in a row. A group of their masters and apprentices took advantage of the fact that the Xiejiaying Ax Gang was wanted by the government and fled. They occupied Maple Forest House and started the fight. He got the title of "Xiantian Dao". The officials in Xiejiaying were taken care of. But he didn't send any gifts to the White Dao or the underworld in the capital. Will there be any future troubles?
Sa Dingding accompanied Sun Yue and others to visit the gardens, pavilions and a room where items donated by believers were placed. Bottles and cans were all meaningful items. People couldn't help but sigh. The innate way does not distinguish between high and low. Churchmen, the banquet consisted of six dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables. Quantity was the key. There was no extravagance or waste in eating and drinking. During the banquet, most of the banquet was spent listening to several Xiantian Dao believers talking about the benefits of the integration of the three religions. And their worship of the "Heavenly Master" Apsa.
From their speech and behavior, Sun Yue could no longer tell that these people were members of the underworld. She felt that they were enlightened monks. They spoke incomprehensible words and told the world with well-founded history. Only belief in the innate way is the right path. When parting, Sun Yue was still a little confused in her heart. She felt that Li Guolou had done something wrong by taking the action of annihilating the "Innate Way".
Sun Yue was in a low mood when she left. Gao Yao Wuyun and Rong Yuan were shouting heartlessly. Sa Dingding saw it and transferred to the inner hall to see Master Apsa. He shared the harvest of the afternoon and put it into his heart. If you have any doubts, tell Master Apsa. The mystery will be determined by "Fairy Master" Apsa.
Apsa was enigmatic. He touched his chin and took out three Qianlong copper coins from his sleeves. He smiled casually and said, "Don't worry. Let me tell you the fortune. Ask Wusheng Mother." A picture was placed on the desk. Bagua tray. Apusa pinched the Qianlong copper coin in the heart of his left hand. After three minutes of silence, he used the six-yao divination method. Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, Xun is wind, Xun is wind, and Dui is Ze. Kan is water and Li is fire. They are collectively called Jing Gua. "Ding Dang." Copper coins are scattered on the Bagua chart.
"The sky reports the earthly affairs to each other. It has melted into the wind and scattered the peach blossoms. A piece of spirit conveys the atmosphere. It merges into a mortal destiny. Let's sigh."
Apsa sang prophecies, which made the disciples feel even more unfathomable. What is the meaning of this? Before leaving, none of the disciples with cultivation skills understood it. They did not understand it mentally. They could only find it physically. The ultimate pleasure. A secret door opens. Another paradise on earth is waving to them.
