Enjoys happiness together is the rare good deed, backs off, can some people accompany is enduring hardship together, is not bad, swallow sheep observes the abbot is such mentality, lived outdoors with the surnamed Xu studying away from home scholars together, were many talking of this and that words companion, is really the good fortune of this journey, nine slightly Daoist Luo Pingyang rely on to look at the person appearance, although this goes off to study the scholars appearance and gas phase some does not tally, passes one to ascertain the airtight strangeness, but again badly will not be an evil person, said again he and apprentice two people, will not be worthwhile others to think of every means the swindling and abducting, will make the meat dumpling, will put together. Less than 200 jin (0.5 kg) meat. Gradually, some small secrets no longer try to cover up, Xu Fengnian gradually knows that the abbot in this not well-known small Daoist temple is proselytizing very much attentively instructs, how is teaching his apprentice refining all the way, is roughly several lodgings has a rest, is Xu Fengnian picks pockets to money, the old daoist person did not mind that he looks on the audit, today the young apprentice according to the urging of Master, sits cross-legged to sit in the back stone shade of Ruoshui river bank, both feet plate gets up to make Buddhism Vajra to sit crosslegged the shape, placing in Daoism is sits pleasant, the old daoist person bails out several yellowing books from the book box cautiously, gives Xu Fengnian, strokes his beard says with a smile: „Franking, when this poor Daoist young is well-off, has read many poetry books, in the clan has elder good yellow, the research to say after the learn, once followed that elder refining several years, afterward the family fortune declined, does not want to give up halfway, entered the Daoist temple to make welcoming and seeing off knowledge guest daoist simply, these years looked at the Three Teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism ancient book Confucian classics, picked up these three books with great difficulty, in my opinion most will not mislead the youth, might be called do not have the word of character captivation.” 一起享福是难得的好事,退而求其次,能有人陪着一起吃苦,也不差,燕羊观监院就是这么个心态,跟姓徐的游学士子一同风餐露宿,多了个谈天说地的话伴儿,委实是此次出行的幸事,九微道人骆平央自恃会些看人面相,虽说这位负笈士子面相与气相有些不相符,透着一股捉摸不透的古怪,只不过再不济也不会是个恶人,再说他和徒弟二人,也犯不着别人费尽心思来坑蒙拐骗,就算做肉包子,加在一起也不到两百斤肉嘛。久而久之,一些小秘密就不再藏藏掖掖,徐凤年逐渐知道这位不知名小道观的监院在很用心地传道授业,一路上都在教他徒弟如何炼气,约莫是几次住宿歇脚,都是徐凤年掏腰包给银子,老道人也不介意他旁观旁听,今日小徒弟按照师父的叮嘱,在弱水河畔的背石荫凉处盘膝而坐,双足盘起作佛门金刚跏趺状,放在道门里便是如意坐,老道人从书箱里小心翼翼捞出几本泛黄书籍,递给徐凤年,抚须笑道:“实不相瞒,贫道年幼时家境殷实,也读过许多诗书,族内有长辈好黄老,研经习道,曾跟随那位长辈炼气几年,后来家道中落,不想半途而废,就干脆进了道观做了迎来送往的知客道士,这些年遍览儒释道三教典籍经书,好不容易才挑出这三本,窃以为最不会误人子弟,堪称无一字妖惑之言。” Xu Fengnian received looked, is Tiantai sect cultivation stops the view «Six Wonderful», Spring and Autumn period loose immortal Yuan Yuanfan «Sitting in meditation Law Sequel», the last itself/Ben unexpectedly is yellow lamaism «Bodhi While going along Theory», three books somewhat are to people obscure, but in the person to three teachings, does not start difficultly, but said two to teach the ancient book vastly like the smoke, can pick up such three to show sufficiently the old daoist person non- was that type throws over false daoist of Daoist robe casually, three books were safe, told that the law of sitting in meditation absorption in meditation proceeded in an orderly way, many Confucian classics did not do intentionally „old age to turn over to Buddha likely. Entertains feelings” „me to leave the world” the language, is only mysterious, plays the pattern in the writing. Naturally, Luo Jianyuan wants to rely on these three who to buy to go home to copy the books of refining, cultivates one long to find a way, definitely is dream of a fool, if amends the law to be appropriate, diligent unremitting, can recover from an illness and live a long life to a certain extent. 徐凤年接过一看,是天台宗修炼止观的《六妙门》,春秋时期散仙人物袁远凡的《静坐法正续编》,最后一本竟是黄教的《菩提道次第论》,三本书对常人来说有些晦涩,只不过对三教中人而言,入手不难,只是佛道两教典籍浩瀚如烟,能挑出这么三本足以证明老道人非是那种随便披件道袍的假道士,三书稳当妥实,讲述静坐禅定之法十分循序渐进,不像很多经书故作“白头归佛一生心”“我欲出离世间”之语,只是故弄玄虚,在文字上玩花样。当然,骆监院想要凭借这三本谁都可以买来回家照搬炼气的书籍,修出一个长生法,肯定是痴人说梦,不过如果修法得当,勤恳不懈,可以一定程度上祛病延年。 The old daoist person bumps into some people willing to listen to him rarely to show off cultivates dao heart, the manner was carefree and content, referred to the apprentice back, wanting to show the right direction for this youngster: „Young Master Xu you look at this poor Daoist disciple back straight vertical stroke, just like the abacus folding vertical stroke, this has tasteful.” 老道人难得碰上有人愿意听他显摆修道心得,神态十分悠然自得,指了指徒弟背脊,有心要为这个年轻人指点迷津:“徐公子你看贫道这徒儿脊梁直竖,犹如算盘子的叠竖,这可是有讲究的。” old daoist keeps guessing, smiles to ask: „Can Young Master Xu once see the ginseng?” 老道士卖了个关子,笑问道:“徐公子可曾见过人参？” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: „Also has seen by luck several times.” 徐凤年笑道:“也就侥幸见过几次。” old daoist narrows the eye saying: „That is the good thing. This poor Daoist follow the elder to practice the say/way to practice young, the experience to several old ginseng/partake, is typical picks to come from the Liyang Dynasty two Liaoning areas, is thick with arm, hey, said leaning, did not say this, the real man did not raise was brave in the past. In brief, the myriad things live to have mystical powers, particularly this ginseng, a twig inevitable curl of ginseng bundles, for then trains the source, does not make the essence leak. Our generation Daoist sitting in meditation expiration and inspiration, is this principle. When sits in meditation, results in the tongue to lick to arrive at the upper jaw slightly, un- growth tooth baby sleeps soundly, saying over and over again, these also are only the spiritual cultivation roughcasts, actually the threshold, has not wanted to reach highest knowledge, difficult, this poor Daoist spreads to look at all kinds of books, and has the spare cash on hand the declining aristocratic family child that side purchase books, in the book has face like jade thousand bell Su, this poor Daoist is beyond the side the person, is only thinking seeks the immortal in the paper pile, so many years got down do not dare to say one really built anything, Taoism expiration and inspiration luck, 12 paris saying, but this poor Daoist also only cultivates five sixth floor now voluntarily, oh, therefore there is. Cultivates oneself according to religious doctrine view that ascends building Ruru Shu Committee truly difficult such as to ascend to heaven. Burns incense the common people to praise me is True Person is Divine Immortal, really blushes with shame. This True Person Qilin rumor world, Dao and Virtue Sect must restore «Daoist canon», the confluence day of evil ways book, said does not fear the Young Master Xu joke, this poor Daoist did not go to amphibious dao field, but is thinking in Dao and Virtue Sect any Daoist temple helped do odd jobs, did not say other, can look at several rare book remnant volumes to be content, lodging meals these trivial matters, this poor Daoist and disciple coped has been becoming.” 老道士眯眼啧啧道:“那可是好东西。贫道年少跟随长辈习道修行,见识到几枝老参,是地地道道从离阳王朝两辽地区采摘而来,粗得跟手臂似的,嘿,说偏了,不说这个,好汉不提当年勇。总而言之,万物生而有灵,尤其是这人参,一株人参的枝杈必然卷曲成结,为的便是培养本源,不让精气外泄。我辈道人静坐吐纳,也是此理。还有静坐时,得舌头轻微舔抵上颚,未生长牙齿婴儿酣睡,说来说去,这些还仅是修道打底子,其实未过门槛,想要登堂入室,难喽,贫道遍览群书,而且手头一有闲钱就去破落世家子那边采购书籍,书中自有颜如玉千钟粟,贫道是方外之人,只想着在纸堆里寻长生,这么多年下来也没敢说自个儿真修成了什么,道教吐纳运气,有十二重楼一说,可如今贫道也只自觉修得五六楼,唉,故有修道登楼如入蜀委实难如登天的说法。一些烧香百姓夸我是真人是神仙,实在是汗颜。这趟麒麟真人传言天下,道德宗要修缮《道藏》,总汇天下道书,说出来不怕徐公子笑话,贫道并非冲着水陆道场而去,只是想着去道德宗其中任何一座道观内帮忙打杂,不说其它,能多瞧几眼孤本残卷就知足,住宿伙食这些琐事,贫道和徒儿对付着过就成。” Does the old daoist apprentice sway, is quite the same as dark, is weak exhausted, wants to rest gradually, is incapable the appearance that supports sits in meditation, old daoist is anxious extremely, said with Xu Fengnian low voice: „The poor Daoist believers natural talent is good, compared with this poor Daoist on good extremely, you look at his are the indication that the sea of qi rises to float, regardless of at present enlarges ones vision to close one's eyes, will present or the scene of glow or hook chain, proof spiritual cultivation small accomplishment. This poor Daoist built the ear to pass in the past the eye passes two big magical powers, walks this pass/test, but suffered the greatest hardship, at first abuse defended in intent the dantian, for a while is glowing with health, thinks attain the dao has, afterward the knowledge fell into error, now then teaches the disciple heart law, little takes too many tortuous paths.” 老道士的徒弟摇摇晃晃,浑然昏昧,体力不支身心疲惫,垂垂欲睡,一副无力支撑静坐的模样,老道士紧张万分,跟徐凤年小声说道:“贫道徒儿天资不错,比起贫道好上万分,你瞧他这是气海升浮的征兆,何时眼前无论开眼闭眼,都会出现或萤火或钩链的景象,就证明修道小成了。贫道当年修成了耳通和眼通两大神通后,走这一关,可是吃了莫大苦头,起先妄用守意上丹田,一时红光满面,自以为证道有成,后来才知误入歧途,如今回头传授徒儿心法,就少走太多弯路。” Luo daoist said is high-spirited, has not thought that apprentice almost throws down, said worn out: „Master, my is hungry.” 骆道士说得兴致高昂,不曾想那徒弟差点摔倒,有气无力道:“师父,我这是饿的。” Undermining of apprentice makes the old daoist face countenance completely lose, the air/Qi a Chinese chestnut pounds on the adult who enjoy playing with children, „eats, knows to eat. Glutton gruff goods that your does not progress!” 徒弟的拆台让老道士颜面尽失,气得一记板栗砸在孩子头上,“吃吃吃,就晓得吃。你这不上进的吃货憨货！” If the child does not have the bystander to present, was reproven by Master beats and scolds might also as well, but he since meeting not to have the favorable impression to that young scholars, this little while felt that lost the huge face, red the eye looked at each other with Luo Daoren ruthlessly, as where Master of small view abbot comes anyone of high skill bearing, shouted angrily to put out a hand, then gave the apprentice palm more than ten, the child could not stand up to hit, the old person with a sudden burst the racket, the small hand was instantaneously red, ate to hurt is also suffering, wailed, how glimpses that to see how not the pleasing to the eyes scholars faint smile, felt dead by heartbreak, sets out on running the Ruoshui nearby is squatting, picked up the pebble toward the river. In loses. 孩子若是没有外人在场,被师父训斥打骂也无妨,只是他对那个年轻士子打从见面起就无好感,这会儿感觉丢了天大面子,红了眼睛跟骆道人狠狠对视,身为小观监院的师父哪来什么高人气度,怒喝一声伸手,然后就给了徒弟手心十几下,孩子经不住打,老人又卯足劲了拍,小手瞬间通红,又吃疼又委屈,嚎啕大哭,瞥见那怎么看怎么不顺眼的士子似笑非笑,更觉得伤心欲绝,起身就跑去弱水边上蹲着,捡起石子往河里丢。 The old daoist person the less seen the better, said to Xu Fengnian sincerely: „Daoism practices, even eye present glow hook chain, but if can not positive- law, will be reprimanded as the light shadow door by Zen, this half are because the Buddhist starts from the disposition, does not pay great attention to the body to temper, did not have a Taoism Daoist prescriptions or exercises to achieve immortality saying, therefore regarded as the barrier to say. Half indeed have the suspicion of cultivation deviation, if the young master has a mind to study thoroughly to sit in meditation, cannot do without observing. This poor Daoist is also the blind person crossing river blind fumble, in the oneself words then taking advantage of cultivates true virtue false, said that perhaps will make True Person of Daguanli laugh dead. This poor Daoist limited to the aptitude, cannot in smell the sandalwood, does not raise these attain the dao to fly upwards, is these young immortals, is unattainable. This poor Daoist disciple, is the cruel fate child, although is innocent, the root bone and disposition are actually not bad, this poor Daoist is thinking after can let him, is short by some crimes, Young Master Xu must blame him not all day the board a dirty look, the child was too little, takes the thousand li (500 km) road, the sole board changed several calluses, from small regarded the family/home swallow sheep Guan, always happy.” 老道人眼不见为净,对徐凤年语重心长说道:“道门修行,即便眼现萤火钩链,可要是不得正-法,还是会被禅宗斥为光影门头,这一半是因为佛家从心性入手,不注重身体锤炼,更无道教内丹一说,因此视作障道。还有一半则是的确有走火入魔之嫌疑,公子如果有心研习静坐,不可不察。只是贫道也是瞎子过河瞎摸索,用自己的话说便是借假修真,说出去恐怕会让大观里的真人们笑话死。贫道限于资质,至今未能内闻檀香,不提那些证道飞升,便是那些小长生,也遥不可及。贫道这个徒儿,也是苦命孩子,虽说不懂事,根骨和心性其实不差,贫道就想着能让他以后少受些罪,徐公子莫要怪他整天板着一张臭脸,孩子太小,走了千里路,脚底板都换了好几层老茧,自小又把燕羊观当成了家,总是开心不起来的。” The Xu Fengnian smile shakes the head saying: „Luo abbot spoke discreetly, is I do not have the child reason. Which family/home child sees me to be rare the good complexion.” 徐凤年微笑摇头道:“骆监院言重了,是我没孩子缘。谁家孩子见着我都少有好脸色。” Luo Daoren sighs with emotion in a soft voice: „Our people, such as one cup of rocking muddy water, after the settlement, side see cup bottom dirt. Being sick side Zhishen is bitter, when is healthy multi-direction chaotic busy.” 骆道人轻声感慨道:“咱们人啊,就如一杯晃动浊水,静置以后,方见杯底污垢。有病方知身是苦,健时多向乱中忙。” Xu Fengnian slightly makes the thinking, the nod said: „A vacant room, is seemingly pure, only has the sunlight to pass the window, knows the dust myriad. In Daoism the person enters first grade, enters is the Profundity Indicating boundary, this perhaps during this moves one to be static the sensibility.” 徐凤年略作思索,点头道:“一间空屋,看似洁净,唯有阳光透窗,才知尘埃万千。道门中人入一品,一入即是指玄境,这恐怕就是在这一动一静之中的感悟。” After advancing into Vajra Boundary, regardless of observes Bao Guanhe, residual path that some faintly visible type thin such as sends, if achieves the Profundity Indicating boundary, whether can have a foreknowledge? Xu Fengnian is lost in thought that in Qin Diling Luo Yang unravelled out the copper, takes to him to shock enormously. 跻身金刚境以后,不论观瀑观河,依稀可见某种细如发的残留轨迹,若是达到指玄境,是否可以产生一种预知？徐凤年陷入沉思,秦帝陵中洛阳在铜门外抽丝剥茧,带给他极大震撼。 Luo Daoren chews, then a face is charmed saying: „first grade boundary, this poor Daoist cannot think.” 骆道人嘴嚼一番,然后一脸神往道:“一品境界啊,贫道可不敢想。” Three people along Ruoshui toward the northwest vanguard, have rested on the stay are also under the star light being near water rest all over the sky, has a rest for the last time, Xu Fengnian must separate to the masters and disciples with this next day, the latter rushes to the Yellow River, along the Yellow River going by boat adverse current, goes to Dao and Virtue Sect to participate in that vast momentum amphibious dao field again, Xu Fengnian does not need to turn round, steps onto half ten-day period to see the ultimate objective character of tour of this Beimang again. That night, summer and fall two season connection, the star hangs the vault of heaven, a top of the head Milky Way is radiant, the northern day is low, seems like almost the tentacle to be possible, Xu Fengnian sits on the Ruoshui riverside is in a daze, restrains the train of thought that turns the head to look, the young apprentice of Luo Daoist stands in not far away, indecisive, saw that the Xu Fengnian line of sight throws, turns around to run, may run more than ten steps to stop the figure, turns around to walk reluctant toward the riverside. 三人一直沿着弱水往西北前行,每逢停留歇息也都是满天星光下临水而睡,最后一次歇脚,徐凤年第二天就要与这对师徒分离,后者赶往黄河,再沿黄河乘船逆流,去道德宗参加那场声势浩大水陆道场,徐凤年则不用拐弯,再走上半旬就可以见到此次北莽之行的最终目标人物。这一夜,夏秋两季交汇,星垂苍穹,头顶一条银河璀璨,北地天低,看上去几乎触手可及,徐凤年坐在弱水河边上发呆,收敛思绪,转头看去,骆道人的小徒弟站在不远处,犹豫不决,看到徐凤年视线投来,转身就跑,可跑出去十几步又止住身形,掉头往河边不情不愿走来。 The children do not like Xu Fengnian being placed on the face, does not know why tonight is willing to speak on own initiative, after sitting down, 22 silent, finally the child cannot boil, opens the mouth to ask: „surnamed Xu, have you heard where there is a will there is a way view?” 小孩不喜欢徐凤年都摆在脸上,也不知道今夜为何肯主动说话,一屁股坐下后,两两沉默,终于还是孩子熬不住,开口问道:“姓徐的,你听说过道高一尺魔高一丈这个说法吗？” Xu Fengnian nods. 徐凤年点了点头。 The child wrinkles the brow, asked formally: „Do one zhang (3.33 m) always compare one foot high? I asked each time the Master why demon also probably be higher than nine chi (0.33 m) compared with, Master could not say a reason why, always shifts the topic, couldn't you understand?” 孩子皱紧眉头,正儿八经问道:“一丈总比一尺高吧？我每次问师父为何魔要比道还要高出九尺,师父也说不出个所以然,总是转移话题,你懂不懂？” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: „I do not understand.” 徐凤年笑道:“我也不太懂。” The children curl the lip, disdain saying: „You also no anything knowledge, sits in meditation not, but must my Master teach you.” 小孩子撇了撇嘴,不屑道:“你也没的啥学问,连静坐都不会,还得我师父教你。” The Xu Fengnian nod said: „Your Master original knowledge is big, abbot who otherwise does not become your swallow Yangguan, I compare him not to lose face.” 徐凤年点头道:“你师父本来学问就大,否则也当不上你们燕羊观的监院,我比不过他又不丢人。” The child proud said: „Everyone said that my Master told fortunes!” 孩子一脸骄傲道:“谁都说我师父算命准！” Xu Fengnian looks to star light in broken bits sways Ruoshui on river surface, has not made the sound. 徐凤年望向细碎星光摇晃在河面上的弱水,没有作声。 The child said the truth, „before Master just before going to sleep, made me come with you to say the sound to thank, I did not want, but he was my Master, must listen to his words.” 孩子说出真相,“师父临睡前让我来跟你说声谢,我本来是不愿意的,可他是我师父,总得听他的话。” Xu Fengnian self-ridicules saying: „Your actually sincere person.” 徐凤年自嘲道:“你倒是实诚人。” The child is no longer glad to respond this fellow, puts the head on the curving knee, looks at Ruoshui to be lost in thought. 孩子不再乐意搭理这个家伙,把脑袋搁在弯曲膝盖上,望着弱水怔怔出神。 He turns the head to say slowly: „On that day forded, I saw really female frogman who wore the red robe, did you believe?” 他转头慢慢说道:“那天渡河,我真是看见了穿红袍的女水鬼,你信不信？” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: „Letter/believes.” 徐凤年笑道:“信。” During the speeches, in Ruoshui wipes walks randomly to pass bright red. 说话间,弱水中一抹鲜红游走而逝。 Xu Fengnian thinks, puts out one pack of straw sandals from the book box, three pairs, extract two pairs to the child, „originally only made one pair, afterward was seeing you, made two pairs. You do not shut out, works as the ritual of leaving.” 徐凤年想了想,从书箱拿出一叠草鞋,有三双,抽出两双给孩子,“本来只做了一双,后来见着你们,就又做了两双。你不嫌弃,就当离别之礼。” The child was surprised, hesitant a moment, received two straw sandals, this little while was really not that repugnantly at present the studying away from home scholars. 孩子惊讶啊了一声,犹豫了一片刻,还是接过两双草鞋,这会儿是真不那么讨厌眼前游学士子了。 The child is holding the straw sandal, fed one, asked curiously: „You will also weave the straw sandal, whom do you deliver?” 孩子抱着草鞋,喂了一声,好奇问道:“你也会编织草鞋啊,那你送谁？” Xu Fengnian looks tranquilly to the water surface, said in a soft voice: „You have Master, I have Master.” 徐凤年平静望向水面,轻声道:“你有师父,我也有师父啊。”
