Chapter 335 Laozi: I never said that! (two in one)

Huang Shaohong heard the old man say: "Superior is good at water control, water benefits all things and there is tranquility!" He couldn't help being startled.

I didn't care to greet him first, so I asked, "Old man, shouldn't we say 'The best kindness is like water, water benefits all things without fighting for it'?"

The old man put down the bamboo slips and turned back from the low couch, he was not surprised by the sudden addition of a person in the storage room, but asked directly: "How good is the water?"

Huang Shaohong looked at the white-haired, child-faced, long-eared, big-eyed, benevolent old man in front of him asking questions, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But it's not that Huang Shaohong, the great master of martial arts, is useless, but that the identity of this person in front of you is too respectful. Even if you let Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, and Wang Chongyang, the ancestors of the Taoist sect, see him, you will be just as nervous, and just kowtow to say hello Also very likely.

Moreover, when Huang Shaohong was in Wudang Mountain, he still burned incense three times a day in front of other people's god statues.

With Huang Shaohong's national martial arts cultivation base, he calmed down instantly, and his heartbeat and emotions returned to normal. He immediately took out what he learned when he read scriptures in the Dragon Snake World and Wudang Zixiao Palace and said:
"A good behavior model is like water. It is good at guiding all things without competing with them. It stays in the low place that people don't want to be. Therefore, it is close to the Tao."

Seeing that he calmed down instantly, the old man had a flash of surprise in his eyes. Hearing what he said, he smiled and asked, "Water can be turbid and evil, and there is also disaster water. How can we call it 'good'? Streams flow into rivers, and rivers If it flows into the sea, how can it not be disputed?"

"This"

Seeing that he couldn't fight, the old man smiled and said: "The best way to do it is to control the water, remove the turbidity and keep it clear, and the water benefits all things. It should calm down the surging and have tranquility, so as not to cause disasters, do you think so?"

The more Huang Shaohong listened, the more reasonable he became, but it was difficult to get him to agree. What the old man said contradicted what he had learned. I really want to say, what I said was your theory.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, am I stupid, what I have seen in Zixiao Palace is nothing more than the Taoist classics of the past dynasties, and this is the true deity of the person who wrote the book, of course they are right.

Suddenly enlightened, he smiled wryly and said: "The old man is right!"

The old man blew on his beard and smiled wryly: "I am thirty-seven years old. Although I am wasting my time, I can't afford to be a little brother like an old man!"

"what?"

Huang Shaohong really wanted to say, it's a bit nonsense for you old man to say that, but in front of this person, he felt that if he really said it, it would be insulting to the sage, so he didn't know what to say right away.

But he didn't believe the old man said that he was 70 out of [-]. He just looked at the bigger forehead, and said that he was an Antarctic immortal. How could he be younger than [-] years old!

Could it be that I heard it wrong, people said that there are three out of seventy?

Although he didn't speak, his expression of complete disbelief was evident.

The old man made a gesture of invitation and said, "Sit down!"

The storage room was simple, with only a low couch in front of the window, half of which was occupied by the old man, and there was not much room left for Huang Shaohong.

But Huang Shaohong didn't care at all, nodded and sat cross-legged on the low couch.

The old man said with a smile: "I don't blame you for calling me wrong. I was born with this appearance, and I was born old, so my mother named me 'Lao Tzu'. My little brother can call me Li Er, or my son." The word 'Boyang' is also acceptable."

Huang Shaohong used the power of time and thought to find the passage Lao Tzu said in the long river of time. He couldn't help but smile immediately. He had heard the legend that Lao Tzu was born old, so he got his name. He thought it was just a legend. I didn't expect it to be so.

He heard that Lao Tzu asked him to call him "Boyang", thinking how dare he do that, he said quickly:
"That's very good, little brother Huang Shaohong, you can call me Shaohong after meeting Brother Boyang!"

Lao Tzu laughed: "Okay, okay, the storage room is shabby, and there is no refreshment for guests, so you and I can take advantage of this spring rain to sit and talk about it!"

The so-called spring rain nourishes all things, a continuous spring rain can not only nourish all things, but also make people feel happy, so I regard spring rain as a happy event, and want to have a chat with Huang Shaohong through the joy of my heart.

Huang Shaohong understood the meaning of Lao Tzu's words, even if it is raining, he is still idle, what else can he do besides chatting about the mountains.

Facing Lao Tzu's invitation, he was naturally overjoyed. Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, how many people would have this opportunity to discuss with the Supreme Being.

He hastily said: "Brother Boyang, don't wait, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

He didn't hide it after he finished speaking, and just disappeared using the space-time ability. When he reappeared the next moment, he already had an extra food box in his hand. After he opened it, there were several dishes and a bottle of good wine in it.

The dishes are 'Fish Balls in Clear Soup', 'Spiced Peanuts', 'West Lake Vinegar Fish', 'Hangju Shredded Chicken', 'Longjing Shrimp'.

The wine is not the modern Moutai and Wuliangye, but the tribute wine that he put in his luggage from the "Luding World". Drinking can make the body strong and healthy.

Seeing Huang Shaohong disappearing and reappearing again, Lao Tzu didn't show any surprise, but when he saw the dishes and drinks, his face showed joy, and he hurried to help.

The two put the food and wine on the table, and the old man laughed, "I'm lucky today!" After speaking, he didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, then hurriedly got another glass of medicinal wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Good food, good wine!"

He only had time to sigh in admiration, and let go of his cheeks, and the chopsticks flew like flying, the white beard was stained with greasy food, and he didn't care at all.

Huang Shaohong was dumbfounded, and secretly guessed that he must have come to the wrong place. Is this the old urchin of the Quanzhen Sect, or Hong Qigong of the Beggar Gang?It's not like pretending to be Lao Tzu to deceive myself.

I quickly checked it in the long river of time and confirmed that it was correct. This is the patriarch of Taoism. I have no doubt that Li Er immediately clicked his tongue in his heart. How long has it been since he has eaten meat!
Huang Shaohong saw that Lao Tzu's food was delicious, and he himself was a little hungry. He immediately picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat together, when he saw Lao Tzu drank another glass of wine and said:

"Wait a minute, Shaohong's previous sentence is inappropriate, but there is some truth to it. I don't know what Shaohong thinks about this world. You might as well talk about it."

After he finished speaking, he took the chopsticks and began to eat big pieces again.

Huang Shaohong came here not only to meet the Supreme Master himself, but also to ask for advice, especially since he had read so many Taoist alchemy scriptures in Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain, he just happened to ask what he didn't understand.

He immediately asked about it from the "Tao Te Ching", but he just said, "Tao can be said, it is very Tao, and the name can be named and the name is very famous!" ' was interrupted by Lao Tzu.

"Who said that?"

Huang Shaohong said embarrassingly, "Didn't you say that, brother Boyang?"

Lao Tzu shook his head: "I didn't say that?"

"what?"

Huang Shaohong said in his heart that it was impossible. Could it be that Lao Tzu hadn't realized the "Two Chapters of Tao and Virtue" at this time.

But listening to Lao Tzu's next words, Huang Shaohong felt that he was even more confused, so he heard the other party say:

"However, my brother has used the convenience of guarding the library for these years to observe the "Three Graves", "Five Classics", "Basuo", and "Nine Hills" recorded by the ancient sages, and also to observe the movement of the stars, the changes of the universe, and understand the opportunities of nature. , but I realized the two articles of 'virtue and Tao' in my heart."

"One of the sentences is similar to Shaohong's sentence, which is 'Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant. Names can be named, but not constant names'"

Hearing Lao Tzu's words, Huang Shaohong was completely stunned. How could this be the case?
"Chang" was changed to "Heng" with a difference of one word, a thousand miles of fallacies!

Originally, the interpretation of the sentence "Tao can be Tao, very Tao" should be, "The Tao that can be spoken is not the natural way of longevity".

But now I heard another version from Lao Tzu's mouth, changing "chang" to "heng", this interpretation has changed, and it can also be interpreted as:

'The Tao can be spoken, but the Tao is not the eternal Tao! '

According to this explanation, it simply subverts the fundamental cognition of Taoism in later generations!
Huang Shaohong was amazed, regardless of whether it could change history, he directly recited the "Tao Te Ching" he had learned, but Lao Tzu took this opportunity to clean up a few dishes and a pot of wine, and then put down his chopsticks contentedly , said with a satisfied smile:

"Okay, then what, Shaohong, please repeat it!"

"."

Huang Shaohong saw that there was no soup left on the five dishes, and the plates were just as washed, and asked uncertainly: "Brother Boyang, didn't you just ask me to tell you just now, and then took the opportunity to eat all the dishes?" right?"

Laozi sneered and said: "How come, how come, what Shaohong said just now seems to contain the truth of heaven and earth, you can say it again, and think carefully for brother!"

Huang Shaohong had no choice but to memorize the entire "Tao Te Ching" again.

Lao Tzu showed surprise on his face: "It's really weird. What Shaohong said is very similar to the two chapters on 'De and Dao' that Brother has realized, but the meanings in them are quite different. There are many fallacies. It seems to be from Brother Wei. Two falsifications changed"

"Brother, but I have never talked about this matter with anyone, and I have not written a Jane into a volume. How is this possible? Anyway, I will tell Shaohong about the two articles on 'De and Dao', so that you can compare them fan!"

Immediately, Lao Tzu sat upright on the low couch, speaking in a cadence, telling what he had realized in his heart.

Following what Lao Tzu said, the continuous spring rain outside gradually stopped, the cloud cleared, the sun shone, and the purple air rose from a thousand meters above the sky.

Hundreds of birds of various kinds flew from nowhere, and they all landed in the courtyard outside the window. Surprisingly, they didn't make any birdsong, but quietly seemed to be listening to something.

Huang Shaohong didn't notice the vision outside the window, because he had been overturned for many years by Lao Tzu's "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism", and he was beyond shocked.

The "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism" dictated by Lao Tzu is undoubtedly the "Tao Te Ching" of later generations, but there are not many differences in it, and it even fundamentally subverts the thinking of later generations of Taoism.

For example, in the "Tao Te Ching" known by Huang Shaohong, it expounds the principle of heaven and earth that "Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things." '

In the "Two Chapters of Virtue and Tao" in Laozi's mouth, it is "everything has a way, the way gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things give birth to Tao." '

According to the meaning of the former, "Tao is high and unique, and Tao itself contains Yin and Yang Qi, and Yin and Yang Qi intersect to form a well-balanced state, and all things are produced in this state. '

However, in Laozi’s mouth, this sentence has undergone a fundamental change. First, it clarifies that “Tao is not unique, and everything has a Tao. . '

This sentence echoes the previous sentence "Tao can be Tao, and non-eternal Tao" is an explanation. "Tao" is not static, but changes with the changes of everything.

Huang Shaohong pinched himself from time to time, and couldn't believe his ears. Everything he heard now proved that in the past thousands of years, the "Tao Te Ching" that Taoism regarded as the golden rule was wrong, not Lao Tzu's original intention, and It is not the same, it has been tampered with!

This is true for explaining the truth of heaven and earth, and it is also true for talking about self-cultivation and spiritual cultivation, such as the most famous sentence:
'To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet and benevolent.All things work together, and I can see them back.Husbands and things, all return to their roots.Returning to the root is quiet.Jing said to return to life. '

This is the basis of Taoism and martial arts in later generations. Whether it is the various exercises of the Taoist school or the various internal exercises of the warriors, they all use this as the highest mental method.

But in fact, Lao Tzu's original words are "to be empty, to be extremely, to be affectionate, to be superficial."All things are done side by side, and I can observe their recovery.Husband and things are like this, each returns to its root, and returning to the root is called emotion. "

This is funny, the former makes people keep "quiet" to the extreme, that is to say, when meditating, the mind is extremely quiet without any emotion.

But what I mean by Lao Tzu is not like that at all. You should 'keep your feelings'. When you practice, you should have feelings for everything in the world, because everything is the Tao, and having feelings for the Tao is the foundation of self-cultivation. Otherwise, it is nothing like a dead tree. different?

Keep love, love is to return to life!
The way to longevity lies in love! !
Huang Shaohong felt that this was just a joke, and that's not the only thing that has been changed in the Tao Te Ching of later generations.

In addition to these fundamentals, such as the viewpoints expounded in the later "Tao Te Ching", "no desire", "inaction", and "non-dispute", were all denied by Lao Tzu one by one, and I did not say these things.

The original phrase of the famous "five colors make people blind" turned out to be "five colors make people see", which means the exact opposite.

After Lao Tzu finished talking about his "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism", Huang Shaohong discovered that there are no less than hundreds of places in the "Tao Te Ching" of later generations that have been corrected by others!

Huang Shaohong couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately said: "Brother Boyang, please wait a little longer!"

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, put all his mind into the long river of time, and went down the river, wanting to find out.

When Lao Tzu came out of Xiguan and met Wenshi Mr. Yin Xi, he left the "Two Psalms of Virtue and Taoism" and left after the dynasty. It was found that since the late Warring States period, Confucianism began to falsify the "Two Psalms of Morality and Taoism" that had been handed down to the world and put Tao in Before virtue, it was commonly known as the "Tao Te Ching".

About this name, Huang Shaohong asked Lao Tzu just now, and Lao Tzu said: "People have no virtue, how can they talk about Taoism, because they must first have virtue before they can see Taoism!"

In addition to the tampering of Confucianism, in the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the names of the five emperors of Liu Bang, Liu Heng, Liu Qi, Liu Wei and Liu Fu, the "Bang" in the full text was changed to "Guo" and "Heng" was changed to " Chang' and 'Qi' are changed to 'open', '勶' is changed to 'Che', and 'Fu' is changed to 'no'.

This kind of taboo led to a whole hundred major changes in the "Two Articles of Morality and Taoism", and the "Two Articles of Morality and Taoism" was completely changed.

From the Warring States Period to the Later Han Dynasty, the Confucians of all dynasties tampered with the "Tao Te Ching" into a classic that is close to and conforms to Confucianism.

Laozi's thoughts of advocating the natural way of heaven, the unity of heaven and man, full of freedom and freedom, are put on the shackles of "rituals".

Seeing this situation in the long river of time, Huang Shaohong was furious in his heart, and was about to enter the long river of time physically to kill all those who tampered with the "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism", thus changing history.

Suddenly a hand was patted on his shoulder, and then Lao Tzu's voice came: "The changes of all things are all the 'Tao', which has its own definite number, don't worry about it!"

Huang Shaohong opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of shock: "Brother Boyang, you."

Lao Tzu chuckled: "My law is based on yin and yang, combined with spells, and my thinking is close to Tao. What you see in front of me, I can see, but I can't go!"
