Chapter 86 Confucian Buddhism and Witch
The college is still quiet and clear.
At the beginning of autumn, the clear pool also became more and more water mist, but the green grass turned yellow.
After stepping on this dry grass that is no longer soft and warm, and then to the college, Yang Yanzhao has a feeling of revisiting his hometown. In the past few months, he has been in a hurry like another world. After the solution, he can also rest for a few days, but suddenly felt a little idle, so he had nothing to do, so he came to the college, thanked Xu Shi, and continued to listen to his teacher. Geng Yuanfu's teachings.
Walking to the back of the college, the sound of the piano hitting the water remembered that Chen was the time when Xu Shi was practicing the piano, but Yang Yanzhao, a layman who did not know the rhythm, also heard that the sound of the piano seemed to be a little different from the past.
It is more delicate and tactful. It must be the teacher playing. This is also the first time that Yang Yanzhao heard Geng Yuanfu stroke the piano in person, but he doesn't know that the teacher is free and easy. Why is there a trace of fireworks in the sound of the piano?
He was puzzled, so he walked a little faster, but when he went outside the courtyard, Yang Yanzhao still stopped and didn't want to disturb the artistic conception of the teacher playing the song.
After a song, the aftertaste lingers, not scattered around the ears.
"It's all here, what are you still doing?"
Geng Yuanfu's laughter and scolding came from the courtyard. Hearing the words, Yang Yanzhao walked into the courtyard and saluted, "The teacher's music is like the spring in March, and like the singing of green birds in the mountains and flowing water, which made Yanzhao fascinated for a while, but he forgot where he was."
Geng Yuanfu couldn't help laughing and scolding again, "You boy, you are all slippery."
Take off the boiled tea on the small stove not far away and pour it into the blue and white cup. The tea is slightly blistering, and the green tea is spinning in the cup.
Send the cup respectfully to Geng Yuanfu, "How can the apprentice have such rhetoric as what the teacher said? By the way, is Brother Shaoyang busy? Why don't you see him playing the piano today?"
Geng Yuanfu took the tea cup, blew the tea that was still floating, and whispered, "I sent him out for my teacher. Calculate the time. It's time to come back in the past two days."
"Brother is calm by nature and doesn't like to walk around. It's also a good thing to go out for a walk, but I don't know what the teacher sent his brother to do?"
After listening to this sentence, a smile appeared on Geng Yuanfu's face, "Do you want to know the purpose of Shaoyang's travel?"
Being recognized, Yang Yanzhao smiled. Geng Yuanfu took a few mouthfuls of fragrant tea, and then opened the corners of his mouth, "The secrets cannot be leaked."
For a moment, Yang Yanzhao suddenly felt that the thunder was rolling and he had been together for several months. Although he knew that Geng Yuanfu's nature was not as good as his appearance, he was still a little thundered when he said this from his mouth.
After a few gossip, Geng Yuanfu asked about the test. Yang Yanzhao smiled and whispered that it should be all right. When the latter heard the words, he couldn't help laughing and scolding him again.
After drinking the tea in the cup, Geng Yuanfu seemed to be a different person. He put down the cup in his hand, got up and walked to the courtyard wall, looking at the yellow vines on the wall. The autumn wind blew through his wide black long shirt and talked about an inch of white frost, with indescribable loneliness.
For a long time, Geng Yuanfu sighed softly, "Autumn is coming, and the Double Ninth Festival is less than a month. It's time to leave for Huashan."
Yang Yanzhao, standing behind him, had not yet dissipated from the sadness of Geng Yuanfu. He almost subconsciously answered, "The apprentice should follow his teacher closely."
Geng Yuanfu smiled and turned around, "Don't you ask what happened on your trip?"
"If the teacher wants to go to Huashan, he has the truth of the teacher. Yan Zhao only wants to follow the teacher, and many of them can learn the demeanor of the teacher."
"Ha ha", Geng Yuanfu smiled even more, "You are talented and intelligent, and you will definitely go straight up in the future. Although you and I are masters and apprentices, there are some things that if you don't want to, you won't force you to be a teacher."
At this point, the doubts that Yang Yanzhao hid in his heart suddenly became clearer. For a long time, he felt that Geng Yuanfu was a person with a story. He was just a disciple and could not ask.
At this moment, Geng Yuanfu wanted to make a clear understanding with him. Yang Yanzhao quickly said, "Yan Zhao does not give up his teacher and teaches him carefully. He regards his teacher as a father, so even if there are thousands of hardships, Yan Zhao is willing to accompany the teacher."
These words are extremely sincere, but they are also Yang Yanzhao's heartfelt words. There are not many elders I met, and there are very few people who love him. He is an affectionate person. The teachings of Geng Yuanfu for several months have been imprinted in Yang Yanzhao's heart.
"If you don't hurry to answer, it's not too late for you to make a decision after listening to what the teacher said."
Geng Yuanfu was a little relieved by his sincere words. He was glad that he knew people well, but he still stopped Yang Yanzhao, who continued to show his determination.
Turning around, Geng Yuanfu looked up to the southwest, and his eyes suddenly blurred, as if there was his infinite care in the unreachable place.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the unreachable place where his eyes could not be reached. Geng Yuanfu's voice became extremely soft. "There is a mountain called Longhu Mountain."
Longhu Mountain?
Yang Yanzhao only felt that the name was familiar, and suddenly remembered those vague memories. Aren't the Taoist priests he once seen claiming to be from Longhu Mountain?
As if to prove what Yang Yanzhao thought, Geng Yuanfu continued to say, "As a teacher, Taoism walks in the world. There are three people in each generation of Taoism walking in the world. One is Jinxian, the other is Kui Su, and the third is Danqiusheng.
Those who enter the sages take the spirit of the fairy family as the root and do not stain the dust; those who are squate, use the qi of mountains and rivers to shape the source and float around the heavens and the earth; and Danqiu life, what they are good at is naturally elixirs, and the elixir to change their lives against the sky.
Speaking of this, Geng Yuanfu looked at Yang Yanzhao, who was a little stunned. After a short pause, he said word by word, "And the teacher is the Jinxian of this generation."
Even though Yang Yanzhao had made preparations in his heart, he still looked surprised. He never thought that Geng Yuanfu's back was so complicated.
Taoism has an unshakable position even after a thousand years, not to mention the unknown Song Dynasty at present, its influence and role are far greater than in the future.
After being surprised, Yang Yanzhao was a little overjoyed. He had worshipped Geng Yuanfu as his teacher, and the latter's status in Taoism was obviously not low. In this way, in the Taoist family, he can also rank up. Thinking of his pride, he couldn't help grinning. "The disciple didn't expect that there was a Taoist behind his teacher. He was really shocked."
Seeing Yang Yanzhao like this, Geng Yuanfu didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't break it. A soft sentence completely fell into the deep valley.
"Although there are tens of millions of Taoist disciples, they are extremely strict with the real core disciples, so Yan Zhao, you have never worshipped your grandfather, and you are not a Taoist disciple."
Suddenly, Yang Yanzhao's expression was extremely frustrated. He was already a closed disciple of Geng Yuanfu. Unexpectedly, he was not a son of the Taoist family, let alone a wave of sleeve robes, and countless people were cheering in the back.
"But don't be disappointed. With your qualifications, it's not difficult to be recognized by the old guys on Longhu Mountain. After the imperial examination, I will take you back to the mountain gate as a teacher."
Hearing this sentence, Yang Yanzhao's heart was much calmer, and he collected the fallen thoughts back, but then there were other doubts.
Taoism is a national religion bred by the Chinese nation. At this moment, when I hear such secret news as Taoism, I will inevitably be interested in other sects.
Will other sects also have Taoism walking in the world and doing things that ordinary people don't know?
At least Yang Yanzhao was curious about the foreign religions of Buddhism, which came from the west and later became popular all over the country and suppressed Taoism.
"Teacher, I have you and two other predecessors walking in the world, are other sects also..."
Geng Yuanfu twisted his frost hair and nodded undeniably, "Yes, in today's world, there are two Confucianism and Taoism in Middle-earth, Buddhism in the Western Regions, and shamans who are satisfied with Khitan.
Although the Buddha Sect came from the Western Regions, it was liked by the emperors of successive dynasties. Therefore, its power is deep in all parts of the country. There are not only open-faced ordained monks entering and leaving the palace, but also hidden couples hiding in the world.
Confucianism, not to mention being a teacher, is also quite influential in the world, because it has sages as flags, and is deeply liked by the royal kings, but you can't underestimate it. Those scholar who shake their heads are just a part of Confucianism in the mortal world. The real Confucianism has long been unfathomable.
As for witchcraft, tracing back to its roots is also from the outer land. It used to be very popular in the north. Now the emperor of the Liao Dynasty supports Buddhism on the surface. In fact, those monks are controlled by witchcraft and have nothing to do with the Central Plains Buddhism.
Previously, the witch religion wanted to touch the Central Plains many times, but was frustrated by the two Taoists and Confucian families. Of course, at the critical moment, the Buddha Sect also provided assistance.
The words paused a little, but it was a helpless sigh, "If it could take action earlier, there would be no hatred, and the Buddha Sect was also mistaken by cleverness and greatly damaged.
It's just that the hearts of non-our people must be different. After hundreds of years of recuperation, the Buddha still is still doing things to watch tiger fights. Otherwise, the land of Youjing will not be lost.
Geng Yuanfu said quietly, but Yang Yanzhao was extremely shocked. According to the words of the former, each of these four religions is an untouchable monster, and he can even wave his hand to change the imperial dynasty.
And walking in the world like Geng Yuanfu, to put it bluntly, is the representative or the schemer of the interests of the sect in the world.
Suddenly, Yang Yanzhao felt that he was trapped in an invisible whirlpool. At this time, he had no joy in his heart, and he began to understand why Geng Yuanfu asked him to think about it again.
"Do you still want to do it now?"
Geng Yuanfu's words were a little light, but they hit Yang Yanzhao's confused heart fiercely. He was originally a layman. He came from another world just to live a stable and comfortable life.
But it backfired and he was expelled by his family. In desperation, he had no choice but to take the imperial examination again, but all this did not leave his original intention - to live a life of walking birds and teasing dogs.
Now, Geng Yuanfu has opened up an endless road to Hongtian for him. This is what Yang Yanzhao has never thought of, but he knows that it must be dangerous to participate in it.
He subconsciously bit his lips and looked up to see the loneliness in Geng Yuanfu's eyes. Suddenly, Yang Yanzhao only felt that his heart was inexplicably soft.
Years have dyed his hair with frost. Although he is noble to walk for Taoism, he still can't beat the vicissitudes of life.
Yang Yanzhao also understood Geng Yuanfu's intention to accept the closed disciples on that day. After several months of teaching and careful teaching, he also carved the name of the master and apprentice in his heart that could not be erased.
Thinking of this, without any hesitation, Yang Yanzhao raised the hem of his robe, knelt on his knees, and was extremely respectful. "When Yanzhao was in trouble, he was not abandoned by his teacher. This kindness did not dare to have any hope in this life. May the teacher allow Yanzhao to accompany him, so that he can do something to deliver tea and water to honor you."
