Chapter 31: The beginning of the Tao, preaching under the tree (2)
"Master!"
"The first volume of the first volume, the ninth order of the Tao,
If it is said that all the energy is certain, then the pheasant is a mirage, the sparrow is a clam, the soil insect is a fake wing, the river frog is flying, the water oyster is a roe, the water oyster is a marshal, the field mouse is a dung, the rotten grass is a firefly, the turtle is a tiger, and the snake is a dragon, are all not?”
"Are all the records in this book true?"
Ning Shuxue blinked her eyes, raised her head, and asked Xu Huai.
After hearing this, Xu Huai pondered for a while and said:
"Do you believe it or don't believe in the many creatures recorded in this book?"
"Yeah~~Yeah"
Ning Shuxue obviously had a problem. She nodded first, then shook her head, looking like she was unsteady.
"The world is so big that it is all strange. Besides, there are records of names and surnames in the book, so why doesn't it exist?"
"Does they deny their existence just because they have never seen it?"
"Besides, as time goes by, some things have changed, and they do not exist, but they have made changes and will recover one day."
Xu Huai said a long sentence on his own, Ning Shuxue couldn't accept the huge amount of information at all, and didn't know whether it was for her or to say it to him.
"profound…"
"The master means that the books are all recorded in the truth, right?"
Although he didn't understand it very much, Ning Shuxue still grasped the key points and summarized them.
"certainly!"
Xu Huai nodded.
“By the way, Master, there is another one,
The word "金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金金�
After finally Xu Huai had time to explain her doubts, Shu Xue naturally refused to let her go and asked questions one after another.
"The golden elixir is also divided into external elixir and internal elixir."
"External elixir is a yellow medicinal gold (return elixir) made of cinnabar (red mercury sulfide), lead, sulfur and other raw materials. Its finished product is called Jindan.
Taoism believes that after taking it, one can become an immortal and live forever.
If the external golden elixir has its own essence and basic characteristics, then the corresponding internal golden elixir is more inclined to be nothingness and ethereal.
"In ancient times, there was a way of immortals in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the famous masters said:
I have read the books on cultivating nature and collected them for a long time. I have collected thousands of volumes of the articles I have covered, and all of them regard the return of the elixir and metal liquid as the key point.
In other words, the golden elixir is the most important thing. In the world, those who take gold live like gold, and those who take jade live like jade.
That is, the human body is used as a furnace to use the essence and qi in the body as medicine, and it is burned with spirit. Taoism believes that the condensation of essence, qi and spirit can form a holy fetus and be transformed into a body.
This is the inner golden elixir." Xu Huai put down his teacup and said slowly.
"Master, I still don't understand after saying so much."
"You are just beginning to learn, and it is natural that you don't understand, and you will know it slowly in the future.
You just need to remember one thing: since the Tang and Song dynasties, the golden elixir mentioned in ancient books is basically the inner golden elixir, and the same is true for the initial interpretation of Taoism."
"Do you understand this way?" Xu Huai asked Ning Shuxue.
"Understood!"
Immediately afterwards, Ning Shuxue responded.
"Master, are there really gods in this world? Many of the three volumes I read describe gods and immortals.
Can immortals really live forever?"
Xu Huai smiled lightly,
"There are no immortals in the world, and there are only people who have achieved the right result. As for immortality, this is too exaggerated and not at this point.
If you succeed in practicing Taoism and achieve perfect merits, you can prolong your life by just a few hundred years, it is no problem."
…………………………………
This afternoon, the master and apprentice were like this. Under the vigorous ancient peach tree, you asked and answered questions and preached, and you were so free and easy.
On the stone table, apart from the utensils for tea, the little guy, the little squirrel, also came over and sat on it.
His obsidian-like eyes shook his furry little head, looked at the two of them carefully, as if he was listening attentively.
There is one, there are two,
Not long after,
Xu Huai was surrounded by an animal conference, and Dabai and Dabai cow all surrounded him, lying quietly around him, staring at the two of them.
Seeing them like this, Xu Huai was also happy for them, and his interest in telling them became a little more intense.
When this great world comes, even as them, I want to fight for it and win opportunities for a lifetime, let alone human beings.
There is a saying: "One person can attain the truth, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven."
I'm afraid the description is the same, Xu Huai thought to himself.
………………………………………
After Shu Xue's question was finished, Xu Huai continued to explain to her word by word, the first preface of the first volume of the first volume,
The freshness of the mysterious culture makes Ning Shuxue particularly serious.
Time flies very quickly, and more than an hour has passed.
On the stone bench in the courtyard, Xu Huai stretched out his body and said:
"Okay, I'll explain this to you today. You can't digest too much if you say it. Take a look at it yourself and understand it more."
Xu Huai naturally knew the principle of following the steps and step by step, so he was not in a hurry. He slowly and in detail.
I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu.
Three thousand Taoist sacred books, and the books are as vast as vast, how can you read them all?
Even Xu Huai himself, over the years, has only taken one-fifth of the family's longest books, and it's even less than one-fifth.
Well, in just a moment, a whole afternoon passed.
Xu Huai walked into the kitchen to prepare supper for everyone, while Ning Shuxue was still sitting there, flipping through the initial explanation of the Tao and exploring the mystery.
As for the little girl, she couldn't move every day, stayed in the room, looking at Peppa Pig, and laughed like a crisp bell from time to time.
On the stone table, the little squirrel saw Xu Huai get up and leave, and stopped explaining, while Shu Xue was focused on looking at the first explanation in her hand.
It seems a little leisurely.
So it jumped from a table about one meter high to the ground, humming its furry claws, climbed up from Shu Xue's legs along her clothes, and climbed steadily to her shoulders.
Looking from a distance, it was like a bunch of hair plastered on Shu Xue's shoulders, which was very fun.
What is even more surprising is that the little squirrel seemed to understand the scriptures. He lay on his shoulders without moving, just staring at the first explanation on Shu Xue's hand.
When Shu Xue saw it, she didn't care about it. She touched its furry head with her hands, and then read the scriptures on her own.
One person and one beast, snuggling with each other is a unique interest.
The setting sunset in the west, the sun is reddishly sunken, through the mottled ancient peach trees, a few red afterglows reflected on Shu Xue's beautiful face.
The little squirrel lying on his shoulder saw it and started to squeak, and his two small legs jumped happily.
As if saying:
"Sister, you have something on your face!"
Chapter completed!
