Chen Jianchen carried a bookcase on his back and propped up the curtain on the wooden frame. From a distance, he looked like a small sedan. In fact, the curtain can only play a general role. For example, if there is a strong wind or heavy rain, it will
No choice, mainly use it as a hat, sun protection without any problem.
Chen Jianchen is wearing a white scholar's robe, a Confucian scarf, and carrying a book string. He is a typical image of a scholar who goes out to study, and he must be a poor scholar.
This is all because there is no need for wealthy scholars to carry heavy books. They always have servants or bookboys to do it for them, while they themselves can shake the golden fan with their light hands and look carefree.
Chen Jianchen inexplicably remembered that in "A Chinese Story", Leslie Cheung appeared in this image. Compared with him who had to sleep and eat, be exposed to wind and rain, and was in a state of embarrassment, he was actually relatively relaxed.
Chen Jianchen had no means of transportation. His old donkey had been sold long ago and was of no use. As for horses and carriages, they were rare and difficult to obtain. Therefore, he had to walk.
An ordinary frail scholar would definitely not be able to bear the pain of walking more than ten miles. He would be afraid that his feet would blister after walking a few hundred meters and he would be exhausted. But Chen Jianchen has long been accustomed to exercise and walks as fast as flying. He walked for more than an hour without feeling any pain.
exhausted.
At noon, Chen Jianchen saw the outline of Jingyang Village, but he did not go in. Instead, he went around and went straight to Fengshan.
——Autumn has arrived again, and Fengshan has reached the "peak season" for tourism. However, because it has been raining for the past few days, which has hindered travel, we did not see any literati coming out of the city on the road. Otherwise, based on the
With Chen Jianchen's outfit, he can at least get a ride.
Chen Jianchen left the city alone and rushed to Fengshan. In fact, his purpose was not entirely to find Yingning. On the one hand, the mountains behind Fengshan were so vast that he didn't know where Yingning's cave was. Looking for it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. On the other hand, he chose
The main reason I left Jiangzhou during this period was to avoid the irritating Dharma propagation conference.
The Dharma Propagation Conference in Jiangzhou City lasted for three days. A huge venue was built in the city square. Dharma conch shells were blown every day. The eminent monks took turns to go up and give lectures. There was a forest of believers under the venue...
It was very lively, almost irritating.
Compared with Taoism, which is self-reliant, the Buddhist teachings open the door to convenience, and everyone in the world can enter. As the saying goes, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately." Even a devil with blood on his hands, as long as he is willing to change his ways.
, put down the butcher knife, you can still become a Buddha.
This kind of proposition makes the threshold for Buddhism very low, almost to the point of zero, and it is easy to gain a huge mass base. Perhaps because of this, the Tiantong Dynasty has been anti-Buddhist in every dynasty, perhaps because it is afraid of the speed of expansion of Buddhism
Going too fast will shake the foundation of the country.
This time, I don’t know why Emperor Zhengming went against the teachings of his ancestors and began to preach Dharma and worship Buddha.
Chen Jianchen was not in the temple and did not know the many changes, but he still vaguely felt the smell of "mountains and rain coming". From what Taoist Qingyun said, "when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters."
, and then Nie Zhiyuan was demoted, Chen Jianchen could roughly deduce some unusual trends.
This trend is a general trend.
Under the general trend, personal power often becomes pale and powerless.
This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Jianchen has always been careful in his dealings with others. He always hides his innermost things deeply instead of showing off his defiance.
Right now I don’t even know how the weather will change...
Only by being wise can you protect yourself.
There is no doubt that Chen Jianchen has not yet reached the supreme state of "worrying about the world's worries first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness". He estimates that in order to reach that step, the state of "Sanli Zhenzhang" is almost "establishing morality"
"Yes.
This requires accumulation, continuous learning, introspection, understanding, and breakthrough. Putting aside the form, "Sanli Zhenzhang" is essentially the same as martial arts, Taoism, etc., except that there is no clear hierarchy, and it is more mysterious.
Sometimes, Chen Jianchen even suspected that the true origin of "Sanli Zhenzhang" might just be covered in a Confucian skin, and he always felt that there were still many mysteries and secrets in it that he had not yet understood.
Or, if you want to truly understand it, you must cultivate to the highest level of "morality", which can be immortal. At that time, the world of his Niwan Palace will be completely clear, that evil-warming pen, that mysterious
People who can only see their backs will show their true colors.
It can be said that Chen Jianchen has been still searching for a path that suits him.
There is a saying that "the unity of knowledge and action" is grand. However, in many situations in reality, there is often knowledge but no action. Without it, it is just the limitations of real conditions that restrict actual behavior. For example, what if you don't have money?
Can you do charity? How can you act bravely if you don’t have the strength?
If you have the intention but no ability, it will all be empty talk in the end.
Therefore, Chen Jianchen has always been chasing power.
Power is diversified. In the world of mortals, power is undoubtedly one of the sources of strength; in the face of monsters, monsters, and monks of all kinds, Haoran's righteousness is the basis for a stable life.
How to organically combine the two is a question Chen Jianchen is thinking about.
…
In the evening, Chen Jianchen had arrived at the place where he first encountered Ying Ning and the wolf demon. He ate dry food and then found a suitable place to spend the night. He was not afraid of being attacked by wild beasts, as the rat demon was there.
Xiaoyi is the best guard.
Even though it is small and unattractive, it is still a monster in the realm of Yin and God, isn't it? Ordinary beasts simply don't dare to challenge the rat monster. They sensed the aura keenly and ran away long ago.
If you have Xiaoyi, you will be more confident in finding Yingning.
The bonfire was rising, and Chen Jianchen was still sleepy. He sat upright and read by the light of the fire - he had several books in his bookcase, which could alleviate the loneliness on the road.
If someone found out about a person lighting a bonfire and reading poetry and books in the mountains, they would not accuse Chen Jianchen of being a lunatic.
In fact, some scholars and talents often live in isolation in some beautiful mountains and mountains in order to concentrate on their studies before the imperial examination. They build huts in some beautiful mountains and mountains, live in them, and study poetry and books hard there.
Zhuge Wolong's "Yueweitang Travel Notes" has a lot of space. The protagonists in the short stories are this kind of scholars. When they read at night, they will encounter the beautiful and kind-hearted fox fairy, and after some entanglement
Next, the red sleeves add fragrance, and finally the beauty comes home in his arms, a living oriental version of a fairy tale.
Chen Jianchen knew that these stories had a certain basis in reality. Because there was a kind and lovely fox spirit Ying Ning in this Maple Mountain. He just didn't know if it would come out tonight.
