The Ultimate Thief in city - Chapter 644
The pure and elegant Taoist temple says that it is neither big nor small, but it is not too much to say that all the most heinous people in the country gather here.
These villains are extraordinary people. A small Taoist temple can trap them. The reason for trapping them is that Chen Mo doesn’t believe that the Taoists of the elegant Taoist temple have extraordinary skills.
Because the Tao is a foot high and the devil is a foot high, it is impossible to imprison these villains only by simple force.
There must be another reason.
The best way to know the reason is to learn from the previous losers. In the back kitchen of more than 200 square meters, the one with the most experience of failure is the intelligence tour that has escaped 68 times in three years.
So in the next few days, Chen Mo has been secretly observing Zhixun. Zhixun looks more than 40 years old. He has an oval face, bald head, flat nose, small eyes and thin lips. With a bald head, he looks like a white gourd on his neck at first glance.
Zhixun’s daily work is to help the kitchen, that is, to give help to Zhicheng and Zhichu. The two chefs will write and draw on the ground with branches in their spare time, sometimes patterns and sometimes words, but they are wiped after writing.
That night, after brushing the tableware for dinner, Chen Mo saw Zhixun sitting in the yard staring at the sky in a daze. He leaned against the door frame and looked at him. He found that Zhixun painted on the ground every two or three minutes. After painting, he seemed dissatisfied, wiped it off immediately, and then continued to look at the stars in the sky.
When Chen Mo walks over, Zhixun immediately becomes alert and breaks the branch in his hand and puts it into his pocket.
“Senior brother Zhixun, you are so elegant.” This is the first time Chen Mo took the initiative to talk to others when he came to Qingya Taoist temple.
Zhixun glanced at Chen Mo, did not bite, but got up and walked to his room.
Chen Mo is used to the indifference of the people here, so he doesn’t care, but follows behind him. Zhixun enters his room. Chen Mo wants to go in, but Zhixun stops him and says, “get out!”
Chen Mo was stunned and said, “elder martial brother, what a temper.”
“Get out!” Zhi Xun said again.
Chen Mo still smiled and said, “if I guess right, is senior brother watching the sky?”
Speaking of Taoism, people who are well-known among the people will think of Yin-Yang Taoists and alchemy. In fact, these are very simple understandings, or the tip of the iceberg of Taoism. In fact, the ultimate pursuit of Taoism is to turn feathers into immortals.
If you want to become an immortal, you must know the destiny of heaven and see the will of heaven. Therefore, observing celestial phenomena is also a very important part of Taoism. This is why Taoist palaces and temples are called “view” instead of “Temple” or “Temple”, which is most directly related to the Taoist tradition of observing celestial phenomena at night.
The main reason why Taoism attaches importance to astronomy is based on the Taoist thinking mode of “unity of heaven and man” and “unity of body and country”. It is believed that understanding the celestial phenomena is helpful to achieve Taoism and become immortals. Therefore, it is called “view”, which means watching the stars and the moon, so it is often built on the top of the mountain.
Zhi Xun watches the sky and draws pictures, which makes Chen Mo feel that he is either on the road of seeking immortality and preaching, or studying something.
Zhi Xun looked at Chen Mo and said, “do you know the sky?”
Chen Mo said, “I know a little.”
“Then what do you call ‘the operation of the sun and the moon in effect’.”
Chen Mo didn’t worry and replied, “senior brother Zhixun, do you want me to talk outside the door?”
Zhi Xun raised his eyes and saw the fangweng sitting on the stone bench looking at them with a smile and said, “come in.”
The configuration in Zhixun’s room is the same as Chen Mo’s. it is very simple. It has a bed, a chair, a table and a wooden clothes hanger.
Chen Mo was also impolite. He sat down in his chair and said, “the movement of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, means that heaven and earth are not lucky, because the bucket handle turns its machine.”
Zhi Xun stayed for a moment and asked, “what do you mean?”
“The ancients believed that the Big Dipper commanded the movement of heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars. What is the Big Dipper in the human body? It is the true meaning generated by the heart. The true meaning is the king, directing the acquired energy and innate yuan essence to supervise the operation of the two veins in the human body. The true meaning of the work of warming and nourishing lies in the middle palace. ” Chen Mo understood this because he had read many Taoist works in order to understand the book of theft.
Seeing Zhixun bowed his head and said nothing, Chen Mo asked, “senior brother, how many years have you been here?”
“Thirteen years.” After that, Zhixun suddenly felt that Chen Mo’s motive was impure, looked up and said, “boy, did you send Fang Weng to set me up?”
“Just chatting.”
Zhi Xun disdained and said, “if you are courteous without anything, you are not a traitor or a thief.”
Chen Mo said with a smile, “we are all fallen people at the end of the world. We will spend the rest of our lives in the Taoist temple, and we have no interest in each other. What can I do for you? ”
Zhi Xun said with a smile, “boy, there is no good man in the yard. On sinister and cunning alone, the free man takes the lead. Don’t be fooled by him. ”
“I’d like to hear it in detail.”
“Since I doubt that you are sent by fangweng, do you think I will talk to you well?”
Chen Mo was born a thief and was good at grasping the details. He couldn’t help but move when he listened to Fang Weng’s words. Generally, in this case, Zhi Xun suspected that he was sent by Fang Weng. He should say “he can’t tell the truth to himself” or “don’t tell his heart”. Why can’t he say “it’s not easy to talk”.
Is it because you seldom communicate with people and use inaccurate words? If so, naturally there is nothing to say. If not, there must be another meaning!
Just as Chen Mo pondered the meaning, Fang Weng raised his finger to the door and said, “get out!”
The other party orders to leave again. Chen Mo is not good enough to continue to be shameless, so he has to get up and leave. Out of the door, he raised his eyes and saw Fang Weng sitting on the stone bench, smiling at himself.
He thought about Zhixun’s insidious and cunning evaluation of fangweng, and compared it with his harmless smiling face. He couldn’t help being suspicious. Is fangweng a smiling tiger?
He went straight over and said, “Dianzao, these days I have used the Zen sleep skill of integrating color, food and sleep, and the effect is very good. Thank you. ”
Fang Weng nodded naturally, and then said, “was driven out by Zhixun?”
“Yes.”
Fang Weng immediately smiled and said, “you must keep your heart when you do things. Don’t be in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han.”
“I didn’t want to escape.” Yu Guang looked away and found that although Zhicheng, Zhichu and Zhixian were busy, they were all secretly looking at themselves. This feeling makes Chen Mo feel a little uncomfortable. It’s like he’s complaining and making a small report.
“I don’t think it’s the best, but I’m not afraid of you, because you think in vain.”
“Dianzao, I have a question. I don’t know if I should ask.”
“Of course you can ask, but I can choose not to answer.”
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and said, “Dianzao, you are also a layman like us?”
“It’s the same to say the same, and it’s different to say different.”
“How do you say that?”
“You were forced to come in. I came in on my own initiative. And I’ve been here for 20 years.”
“Is it to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal?”
“It has been thousands of years since the founding of Taoism, but only a few people have really become immortals, such as Zuo Ci, Zhang Daoling, Lao Tzu and Zhuang Zi. I think I don’t have that wisdom root. Cultivating immortals is like a star in the sky for me, but I can see it but can’t touch it. Therefore, it is impossible to cultivate immortals, and it is impossible in this life. ”
“Then why did you come to Qingya Taoist temple?”
“Cultivate the mind.”
Chen Mo looks at Fang Weng in surprise. When it comes to cultivating his mind, he naturally thinks of nourishing his nature. What is spiritual cultivation? To put it bluntly, it is a day of pure heart and few desires. How can Fang Weng cultivate his mind when he faces people who commit heinous crimes all day?
Repair the sludge without dyeing? Persuade others to put down their butcher’s knife and become a Buddha?
But he is really so good. Why does Zhixun say he is insidious and cunning?
“What should I fix?”
“What do you think you are fit for?”
This
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment. Fang Weng once asked him this question when he talked for a hundred days. More than ten days later, he also thought about it many times. Repair what? It is impossible to cultivate immortality. As Fang Weng said, without the wisdom of cultivating immortality, it is impossible to cultivate immortality in this life.
Therefore, when we talk about Taoism, we only talk about technical problems such as Qigong, prescriptions and health preservation. Self cultivation is a power, which should belong to the category of Qigong. However, powers can be roughly divided into four categories: spirit, body, occult science and weird department. The weird department is divided into
Seeing that Chen Mo couldn’t answer, Fang Weng asked, “what are you repairing now?”
“Qigong, the weird system of powers.”
Fang Weng sighed and said, “I’m not talking about categories and factions, but direction.”
“Is there any direction for practice?”
“Of course. But I’m not talking about the position and direction, but the direction of the heart. ”
Chen Mo felt his head was big. He thought the problem was too profound and unpredictable. He said, “forgive me for being stupid, but please enlighten me.”
“This question is very simple. There are only two directions of the heart, good and evil. Do you practice good or evil?”
There is no need to think about this problem. Chen Mo also knows his evil practice, because he has never done a good thing, and he doesn’t want to use his practice to serve the people.
Fang Weng continued: “since ancient times, evil is superior to good, so if you cultivate evil, you will never enter the real Tao, but will fall into the demon Tao. That is to say, people with selfish interests are, in the final analysis, cultivating demons. ”
“As long as people have their own interests, according to your opinion, aren’t all people and practitioners in the world cultivating demons?”
The fangweng nodded and said, “evil is divided into size and evil is divided into depth. All Buddhas say that the world is guilty. But the Buddha has no hatred, but the devil has hatred. That’s the difference. Buddha becomes Buddha because of the help of demons. Therefore, Buddha does not hate demons. ”
Chen Mo pondered for a long time before he said, “what Dianzao said is too profound. Can you say it specifically?”
Fang Weng looked at Chen Mo and said, “OK, let me take you as an example. With your current mind, no matter how high you can practice and achieve, but you are always in the devil’s way. The reason why the devil becomes a devil is that the devil has the heart to compete for strength and win. The so-called “argument is to win or lose the heart. If it goes against the Tao, it will lead to the four phase heart. How can you get samadhi?” If the devil can’t win the first place, he will be angry, jealous and obstructed. Whoever has such thoughts and behaviors is a devil. He can never become a Buddha or enter the Tao. ”
“The winner is the king and the loser is the Kou. What if the devil wins the Buddha?”
