Looking at the note, it turned out that the paper crane was indeed sent by Taoist Priest Qingyun. It was actually made of a folded talisman and imbued with magic power, so that it could find the person you were looking for within a certain range and send the information.
At the moment, Qingyun is in Jiangzhou City with Master Guanghan. What he means is that he wants to ask Chen Jianchen to come over and meet him, to have a chance to see if Chen Jianchen can enter Guanghan's Dharma Eye...
Undoubtedly, Qingyun was a monk with an ancient heart. He admired Chen Jianchen's temperament and wanted to introduce him to the Taoist sect. Qingyun himself was not cultivated enough to accept a disciple, so he set his sights on his uncle.
In the past, Chen Jianchen was eager to learn Taoism, so he naturally had no problem with it. But now, ever since he started using the evil-preventing pen and obtained the "Sanli Zhenzhang", he knew that he had embarked on another path, and it would be difficult for him to interact with Taoism again.
Already.
Beliefs must be pure and clean in order to achieve "a heart as pure as a child."
If you want to learn this and you want to learn that, they are likely to conflict with each other in the end, and all your previous efforts will be wasted. For example, a Taoist priest will not kneel down to worship the Buddha, and a monk will not kneel down to worship the Three Pure Ones - this is a matter of ideological principle.
Without principles, your state of mind will be broken, and your cultivation will no longer be able to progress.
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west overpowers the east. The two certainly cannot coexist as one.
Another example is that Chen Jianchen obtained the true biography of "Sanli Zhenzhang" and does not believe in or respect ghosts and gods, so he must be free of ghosts and gods in his heart. If he cannot do this and there are still ghosts and gods in his heart and cannot drive them away, then inner demons will arise, leading to
The consequences are extremely serious, let alone the ability to condense righteousness.
Righteousness does not treat everyone equally, nor can it treat everyone equally.
Because there is black and white, and there is good and there is evil. No matter which world we are in, there will always be fundamental oppositions.
Therefore, the position is very important, and the stability of the position is even more important.
As a veteran, Chen Jianchen’s biggest advantage is that he can grasp his own position. With rich experience, he can understand the surface of many things and penetrate into the essence. In the previous life, he read thousands of books and opened up his horizons and experiences.
It is the greatest wealth.
However, since Taoist Master Qingyun was determined to send the paper crane to pass the message, Chen Jianchen felt that he should go there as a matter of etiquette. This was also a human rule and he could not lose his sense of proportion.
City God's Temple, the address Qingyun mentioned was actually there...
Is it a coincidence, or is there some other reason?
After Chen Jianchen pondered for a while, he put the matter aside and continued to read his "Yueweitang Travel Notes".
At dusk the next day, Chen Jianchen asked for leave again from the college supervisor. The supervisor was in his fifties, had a Chinese character face, and had three strands of beard. At first glance, he looked very regular.
He glanced at Chen Jianchen and said: "Liu Xian, although you have few talents and talents, your knowledge is boundless and you must not be proud or slack off..."
The implication is that Chen Jianchen always asks for leave and is not diligent and focused enough.
Chen Jianchen said: "Thank you very much for the superintendent's teachings. It's just that the student has been involved in business recently and has to go out."
Seeing that he didn't listen to the advice, the superintendent became slightly unhappy and said, "Okay, do what you like."
Got the money and approved.
——From the perspective of the superintendent, what he said is of course the most reasonable words: the imperial examination is by no means a simple matter. Memorizing the Four Books is just the basic skills. You must read every word and sentence thoroughly and study them thoroughly.
It takes a lot of time and energy to do it. Many scholars and scholars spend their entire lives pondering and wallowing in "Zi Hu Zhe Ye". In the end, they still fail to win, but it is because they have not mastered the skill of catching moths.
After leaving the academy, Chen Jianchen looked for someone to ask for directions, and soon arrived at the Jiangzhou City God's Temple.
The City God's Temple has always been granted official titles, and the City God will also be granted official positions and be called Lao Ye. Therefore, the City God's Temple has a very prominent status and a splendid architecture that cannot be compared with other temples.
It's almost evening, and the number of people who come to the temple to burn incense and kneel down has gradually become sparse.
Chen Jianchen came to the large and square gate of the temple. When he looked up, he saw a couplet: Good and evil will be rewarded in due time; don't argue about right and wrong sooner or later;
Hengbian: I am nowhere to be found.
The words are written very solemnly, stroke by stroke, neatly and strictly. They are engraved on the wood and penetrate three inches into the wood. When people look at it, they will immediately feel admiration.
"Is this Mr. Chen Jianchen Chen?"
A temple priest came to Chen Jianchen and bowed his head.
Chen Jianchen returned the courtesy and replied: "Exactly."
"Sir, please follow me. Taoist Master Qingyun is already waiting in the wing."
Chen Jianchen followed him, walked through a winding and quiet corridor, and entered a plain side room. As expected, Taoist priest Qingyun was inside.
When the two met, they exchanged a few words and then sat down to drink tea.
At this time, Taoist Master Qingyun suddenly whispered: "Master Chen, my uncle, the Taoist Master, will be here in a minute... Well, my master uncle has a weird temper and is difficult to catch, so Master, you have to act according to the opportunity."
Chen Jianchen thanked him and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your advice."
After a while, the door was banged open by someone from the outside, and then a Taoist priest covered in dirt ran in in a panic.
As soon as he came in, he quickly closed the door, as if a dog was chasing him outside.
Chen Jianchen took a look and recognized that this person was the Taoist priest who performed the wonderful technique of "planting pears" on the street that day. He was indeed Qingyun's uncle, Taoist Guanghan.
Qingyun quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "I have met Master Guanghan."
His face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to see his uncle's panic at all.
Taoist Guanghan blinked his eyes and suddenly said: "Senior nephew Qingyun, hurry up and go outside. If you see a woman with a fleshy face and a waist like a water tank chasing her in, you can find a way to lure her away."
"Please listen to your uncle's instructions."
Taoist Priest Qingyun walked out without asking anything.
Dizzy, what kind of trick is this?
Chen Jianchen watched from the side, very shocked - he had never seen a Taoist priest behave like this before, and it was indeed an unusual behavior.
Guang Han heaved a sigh of relief, sat down, picked up the whole teapot, put the spout of the teapot to his mouth, and drank happily.
After drinking, he put it heavily on the table and said: "The tea has faded out, but I'm not happy. Let's get a glass of wine to drink." As he said that, he stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and pointed it into the empty teapot for just a moment.
, the aroma of wine overflowed, and it actually came from the teapot. It was obvious that a pot of fine wine was already contained in it.
"Master, would you like a drink?"
Guang Han squinted his eyes and asked Chen Jianchen.
Chen Jianchen said: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for the wine."
Guang Han chuckled, picked up the teapot, and poured wine into the empty cup in front of Chen Jianchen. The wine was full, with a quiet color, and a fragrant aroma. Just smelling it made people feel drunk.
Good wine!
At least it is a fine wine that has been stored for more than fifty years.
The two of them were enjoying themselves drinking one cup at a time. The pot of wine originally only had a capacity of ten cups at most. Now the two of them had drank more than ten cups, but the pot was still full of wine and had not decreased at all.
It's as if it will never run out.
The little teapot contains endless amounts of wine.
