The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 104 Fellow Taoist
Shi Feiyang told Zhu Zaiyu that he wanted to read another volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Zhu Zaiyu said with some regret: "The other volume is not with me, it is no longer in China."

It turned out that a few years ago, several friends who were officials often visited him as guests. They brought members of the Xiji Sect with them and often told him about the magnificence of the West, the good government and people, and their words were better than those in the spiritual world. He wanted to recruit him into the religion.

Zhu Zaiyu said that's not right. I have a book of mountains and seas, which contains some conditions on the Xiji Mountains. It was a barbaric wilderness in ancient times and savages were everywhere. There are also records left by Zheng He when he went to the Xiji Mountains. Although there are some countries on the mountains, But they are just large tribes.

Those friends were very surprised, so they borrowed those books and materials for study. At that time, the volume "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was also borrowed. Since it was an ancient volume, he cherished it very much. Afterwards, he asked for it several times, and the other party copied the original copy. I sent it back and borrowed another medium volume.

After waiting, he went to ask for it, but his friend moved and couldn't find many things. He asked repeatedly about the whereabouts of the "Book of Mountains and Seas". The friend thought about it again and again, and finally said that it was taken back to the West by a fellow believer.

Xijijiao! Shi Feiyang remembered that it was a very powerful sect. There were about a dozen big countries and hundreds of small countries on the Xiji Mountain, all of which believed in the Xiji Sect. There were six immortals in the sect.

Shi Feiyang estimated that he couldn't even defeat an immortal now. With the magic weapon in his hand, he might be able to fight two or three, but at most he could only protect himself, and there would be no chance of winning. Later, when I have become immortal, I have to go to the west and meet those six guys for a while.

In addition to being heartbroken, he wanted to ask Zhu Zaiyu for the second volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

But he could also see that Zhu Zaiyu cherished this ancient scroll very much. He was embarrassed to speak rashly, so he thought about what he could use to exchange for this book.

Zhu Zaiyu naturally saw that he liked the book, so he took the initiative and said, "I have a request, and I hope fellow Taoist friends can agree to it."

Just now, Shi Feiyang asked him not to call him Master Long, as it was too foreign, and asked him to call him Taoist Fellow.

Zhu Zaiyu smiled and said: "I'm not a Taoist priest..."

Shi Feiyang said: "The two of us have understood the way of heaven and used the way to make friends. How come we are not Taoists? We are the real Taoists!"

Zhu Zaiyu could understand what he meant and laughed loudly: "Then the music, music, geology, medicine, etc. we just talked about are all Taoism?"

"Exactly!" Shi Feiyang answered formally.

Zhu Zaiyu called him fellow Taoist in a free and easy manner, and he also called Zhu Zaiyu fellow Taoist.

"I am getting old, my time is short, I have few offspring, and I have no enlightened people. I would like to ask my Taoist friends to take this book with me so that no one will miss it again."

When Shi Feiyang heard that he took the initiative to give the book to him, he was naturally happy: "My fellow Taoist has realized the way of heaven and is close to the dragon-like state mentioned by Confucius. I have the method of longevity and the elixir of beauty. Although you are over sixty years old, you have already seen the Tao, and the small skills under the Tao are easy to practice and easy to obtain, so there is no need to make such a mournful sound."

Zhu Zaiyu said: "I came from heaven and earth, and I return to heaven and earth. Life and death are just a dream, but I have neither joy nor sorrow..."

He lived a very difficult life because his father was convicted when he was young. As a prince, he suffered even more than ordinary people, and he had long since transcended his attachment to the world.

Shi Feiyang stood up and bowed to Zhu Zaiyu. Zhu Zaiyu hurriedly left his seat to help him: "Fellow Taoist, why is this?"

Shi Feiyang said sincerely: "Then it's up to me to ask fellow Taoists to live in this world for a few more years, not for the Ming Dynasty, but for the inheritance of the Chinese Taoism, and not to end it after a period of time!"

Zhu Zaiyu smiled again and asked him to return his seat: "I didn't say that I would die tomorrow..."

Shi Feiyang sat with him again and discussed Taoism, ranging from astronomy, geography, calendar, music, studying objects, arithmetic, writing, etc., and finally talked about health preservation and self-cultivation, longevity and long-term vision. Based on Zhu Zaiyu's current situation, he designed a set of exercises that were most suitable for him.

He did not take out the Heavenly Book of Guangchengzi for Zhu Zaiyu to read in detail, because this volume is not about Taoism, but about various alchemy, weapon refining, and magic formations. Zhu Zaiyu is old and it is harmful to think that his body cannot bear the load. It's useless. If in the future I can get a volume that specifically talks about the Dao and show it to him, then I will be safe if I have the foundation of the previous volume. Zhu Zaiyu was in his sixtieth year and had a loss of essence and blood, but his spiritual realm was extremely high and he was ahead of the curve in terms of character. He had to replenish his essence and blood first, but not too much, otherwise the deficiency would not be replenished, like the Nu Xuandan. When Shi Feiyang took it, it was a tonic, but when given to ordinary people, it was poison. Zhu Zaiyu was poisoned to death immediately after eating a small amount of the medicine residue.

Shi Feiyang took out his collection of elixirs and introduced them to Zhu Zaiyu one by one. The two of them studied together and prepared three prescriptions. They also took out the elixir furnace and boiled the elixirs on the spot. In total, they got one elixir and one pill. A plaster. There is a large jar of plaster. Take three spoons of it and drink it with warm water every day. After a month, when your physical condition improves, you can start taking pills, one pill a day. After a year, take pills again. Take one pill every year, and then use Tu Na Shen Ding. If you practice kung fu internally, if nothing happens in the process, it will not be a problem to live past the age of 120.

Shi Feiyang gave him another fifty kilograms of the five-car bait he had refined earlier and asked him to take it as a small pastry every day. It was fragrant, nourishing, and particularly mild.

He also heard that Zhu Zaiyu had few heirs. It turned out that neither of his two sons had any children.

"This is easy!" Shi Feiyang took a small piece of Jiaotai incense, went to the courtyard of his two sons at night, burned it with elixir fire, and sent the fragrance to the two sons' houses respectively.

This Jiaotai fragrance is so powerful. The blood vessels of a cultivator's body are smooth, as if they are blending with the heaven and earth. All the chronic infertility problems are relieved in a moment. Both daughters-in-law became pregnant that night. Shi Feiyang took the opportunity to treat Geng Peng He took out his soul and sent it to his daughter-in-law to be reincarnated.

A few days later, when the fetus was stable, Zhu Zaiyu was so happy that he moved out all his books and let Shi Feiyang pick whatever he liked.

Shi Feiyang finally chose the volume "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the Tadpole script deciphering book written by Zhu Zaiyu.

Time flew by, and Shi Feiyang lived here for more than a month. When it was time to leave, he silently calculated the future path.

This time he went to the capital first and then came to Huaiqing, and was contaminated by many causes and effects, but the cause and effect taught by Taoism is different from the cause and effect taught by Buddhism:

Taoist cause and effect refers to the relationship between cause and effect, that is, the interaction and influence between things. I affect you, you affect him, and he affects it...it progresses layer by layer, the variables are fixed, and intertwined. There is no distinction between good and evil in cause and effect. It just means that certain causes promote certain effects. Good intentions may also lead to evil effects.

The cause and effect mentioned in Buddhism is that one event directly determines another event. For example, if you sow good causes, you will get good results, and if you sow evil causes, you will get bad results. If you recite Amitabha Buddha in this life, it is like a diamond seed. After countless eons in the future, you will definitely take refuge in Amitabha and achieve success. Buddhahood. If you kill now, you will definitely be killed in the future; if you steal now, you will definitely lose your money in the future...

The most famous thing is that life is the cause of death, and death is the effect of life. Since you have been born, you will inevitably die. No matter how hard you try, it is useless. Even if you practice hard and extend your life span to an extreme, you will still die in the end. For example, Amitabha Buddha is said to have infinite life span, but he will eventually reach nirvana, but his life span before nirvana is infinite.

It is better than Sakyamuni. Since he is born, he will eventually die. Every time he is born, he will suffer once in the next life. It boils down to the eight things of birth, old age, sickness and death, love, separation and hatred. Therefore, what Buddhism pursues is not immortality, but non-rebirth. Without rebirth, there is no need to die, and Nirvana is peaceful.

Buddhist cause and effect not only distinguishes good and evil, but also has many divisions. For example, Buddha's cause and Buddha's fruit. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If there is an effect, there must be a cause. If you sow the Buddha's fruit, you will surely become a Buddha in the future. And once you have obtained the Buddha's fruit, you will have the Buddha's fruit in the past. There is a Buddhist cause. The so-called cause of Bodhisattva fear does not mean that a Bodhisattva does not create all causes. If he sows good causes and Buddha causes, he will receive good rewards and attain Buddhahood in the future. If he does not sow Buddha causes, he will not become a Buddha.

Just like when people talk about creating karma, some believers open and close their mouths to persuade people not to create karma. In fact, practicing Buddhism itself is creating karma, creating Buddhist karma. There are many kinds of karma, including good karma, bad karma, studies, and career. Buddhist disciples must practice Buddhist karma, and finally they can achieve perfect Buddhahood.

The so-called accumulation of wealth means to keep planting good causes and Buddha causes. Plant more and more for several lifetimes. The more you plant, the more you will harvest and the greater your achievements will be.

It is precisely because cause and effect are determined, and cause and effect are the same. Buddhist monks do not need to speculate, but use fate to see what you are and what you are doing now, and you will know what results you will get and what you will become in the future.

Shi Feiyang's calculations were naturally based on Taoist calculations. He calculated what impact his actions would have in the future and who and what they would affect. For example, if Emperor Wanli named him "Jiutian Yuanyang Zhenren", what would happen? What kind of result...

There are quite a lot of people and things involved this time, but they are basically all mortals. When he stands on a realm above mortals and works downwards, it is a bit like observing lines on the palm of his hand.

It’s no big deal!

Shi Feiyang calculated the results and found that his first contact with a mortal emperor had successfully achieved the expected results, especially the second volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

He calculated in advance that he would gain a lot from Zhu Zaiyu. Zhu Zaiyu would give him a book, which would be of great help to him in deciphering the Tianshu of Guangchengzi. Now it should be on top of the "Book of Mountains and Seas".
