Laoshan Taoist Chapter 30: Transmission
Actually, as early as when Wang Yan came out the first poem, He Huailiang had the result in his heart, but he was not willing to admit defeat like this!
Not to mention his first few poems, just to mention his last one, "Will Enter the Wine", this one is enough to complete all of his works.
Until today, he didn't really realize what it means to have a heaven outside the sky, and there are people in humans.
There are many talents younger than yourself in this world.
He lost, he was convinced that he lost!
But he didn't regret it. On the contrary, there was a sense of relief in his heart. For him, the result was not important, but the process was very enjoyable.
It’s been a long time since he fought against people like this. He lost happily and happily.
The four poems in front of Shengshu Hall spread all over Laoshan Xuegong in a blink of an eye.
The conference has not ended. Before that, many scholars in the academy had heard the news and rushed to see the true face of the Taoist master.
The deans of the four major schools of Confucianism and Justice, even the old master, were alarmed, and personally found Wang Yan, trying to persuade him to join the Laoshan Academy.
Although half a year has passed since the recruitment conference of Laoshan Academy, and they will not recruit new recruits again within three years, they did not hesitate to unanimously decide that they are willing to make an exception for Wang Yan.
As long as he is willing to join the Laoshan Academy, not only will he be granted this title by his relatives, but even the old masters who have not accepted disciples for a long time are even willing to accept him as a closed disciple and teach him the highest knowledge.
and guaranteeing his future, the career path is bright.
What a tempting condition, Laoshan Academy personally pleaded for it, and what a special honor. This is something that many scholars in the world can't get, but for him, it is just a matter of one sentence.
Regarding this, the old Taoist also relied on his own decision. If he had ideas about his career, he would never stop him.
This condition is difficult for most people to resist.
In the future, you will become an official in the imperial court and become an official. Or you will spend your entire life in Taoist temple. We must weigh the two, and the fool will know which way to choose.
So Wang Yan is not a fool, he is sober.
Faced with all the attractive conditions offered by everyone, he responded with only two words.
"Don't go!"
stepping into the court, it is indeed possible to rise to the top, but as the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, it is also indispensable to fight against each other.
The greater the power and the more favored, the more people want to harm you. If you want to protect yourself, you have to fight them, even more cruel than them.
To be honest, Wang Yan can't live this kind of life.
In contrast, he would rather cultivate in the Taoist temple, even if the master does not teach him the method of practice, the big deal in the end is to go home. Even if he is a child of a rich family for a lifetime, it is better than fighting for power in the court.
Wang Yan is not a person in the literary world. He just copied a few poems at random, so he is unwilling to accept this title, and He Huailiang has no face to accept such an honor because he was defeated by him.
Neither of them wanted it. In desperation, Laoshan Academy had to accept the title of Shengshudian this time, which was quite a pity.
People visit anytime and anywhere, Wang Yan is very annoying, so after the third day of the conference, they left and returned to the mountain the next day.
Dean Qiu was a little bit reluctant, but after all, it was difficult to refute their meaning. After all, people cleaned their house and eliminated demons and solved such a big trouble. They are reasonable and should respect their decision.
Wang Yan eventually failed to stay, but he is still a role model for many scholars, not only in terms of literary talent, but also his noble sentiment that regards fame and fortune as a cloud.
His fame, after all, spread.
Originally, Dean Qiu was planning to arrange a carriage to send them back, but in order to avoid being known to others, so that a group of scholars would come to see them off with great fanfare, so the old Taoist priests refused.
The two traveled low-key. After leaving the city, they found a secluded place. The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and took out a cloud pad from his sleeve. With a wave of the dust, the light flashed, and the cloud pad grew long in the wind.
In an instant, it was as spacious as a summer mat.
The two masters and apprentices sat up, and the old way shouted: "Get up."
Yunpa soared into the sky, and quickly flew to Laoshan Academy with the two of them.
This scene of made Wang Yan dumbfounded.
I remember the last time he flew so high, he was still on a business plane.
There are no security measures now, and the cold wind blows on my face, and I just shuttled through the clouds like this, and I feel a little excited in my heart.
Seeing this, he kindly reminded him that if he is afraid, he can close his eyes.
joke!
Wang Yan was quite disdainful of this. He was a dignified man of seven feet, and he was not afraid of facing an otaku at the beginning, so how could he be afraid of flying in the slightest!
It's just that the wind is blowing a little bit cold, and the body is shaking uncontrollably, and both hands are firmly grasping the corner of Yunpa.
If this falls, I guess there won’t be even scum left!
The original two or three days of journey, and now less than half an hour, they have returned to the Sanqing Temple of Laoshan Golden Summit.
When Wang Yan came back, he jumped to his side with long ears, looked east, sniffed, and circled him two more times.
Then a pair of eyes stared at him eagerly, as if to question, did you promise to bring me something delicious?
Wang Yan smiled awkwardly, and was too lazy to explain too much.
Rabbit twisted his head, turned and ran away angrily.
……
I took a day off that day. Early the next morning, a boy came and summoned him, saying that the master was looking for him.
Wang Yan finished washing, tidying up his clothes, and went straight to the main hall.
Lao Dao is sitting on the futon, with smoke curling behind him.
"The disciple Wang Yan pays his respects to Master!"
Wang Yan strode forward, fell to his knees and bowed his hands in prayer.
"Get up!"
Saying kindly, Wang Yan immediately got up and stood aside respectfully.
"It’s really rare to seek the truth, be honest, the governor is reasonable, not afraid of evil and evil, and not bend for fame and fortune!"
Old Dao suddenly praised him, and then he spoke straightforwardly.
"Wang Yan! Starting today, as a teacher, I will formally teach you the method of practice. I hope you can always keep in mind the teachings~IndoMTL.com~ abide by the heart, always be kind, and practice hard. Benefit the world!"
Wang Yan was surprised and delighted, and quickly fell to his knees again.
"Disciples, thank you, Master, for spreading the Fa!"
For eight months of cutting wood and dust, he did it for this moment. It turns out that all the hardship he suffered was worth it.
"Well! Even if you formally get started, you also need to let you know the inheritance of the door, and the rules and regulations of the door!"
After finishing talking about the old ways, with a wave of the whisk, Wang Yan instantly added a booklet in front of him.
"This school is passed on from the Zhengyi Qingwei school, and the founding ancestor is Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun. This is the gate rule of this school, you can take back the good students to study the labor record!"
Wang Yan carefully collected the booklet and listened to the master’s teachings.
"There are three thousand avenues in the world, all of which are open to heaven. The Laoshan line passed down to the generation of the teacher. There are currently four types of avenues. You can choose one of them to practice asceticism according to your own situation. How far you go depends on your own destiny!"
After finishing talking about the old ways, Wang Yan's heart was a little doubtful.
"Dare to ask what four types of master is? What is the method of practice?"
Old Dao gently stroked his long beard, and explained it slowly without any rush.
"This first category means: purification, meditation, meditation, retreat, chanting sutras, feeling the natural alternation, and achieving the way of purification!"
"The second category, said: Yin and Yang, infer numerology and heavenly secrets, study Yin and Yang and gossip, tri-changing numbers, infinite good fortune!"
"The third category is: golden pills, alchemy medicine, drawing amulets and chanting mantras, using oneself as a baking oven, forming golden pills in the Dantian, it is also a great way."
"As for this fourth category, it is: Walker! Walk in the world, relieve the suffering of the world, overcome the dangers of the world, cast down demons and eliminate demons, and be a walker!"
