My years as a fortune teller

Just as Master said this, he heard a voice outside: "Amitabha".Weighing why come again.

I looked for the sound and saw two nuns, one old and one young, standing outside the fence. "Oh! The vowel master is here!" I exclaimed.Master didn't turn his head when he heard it, so he said: "Today is full of guests, it's really an honor for the hut." After speaking, he laughed.

I ran over and opened the fence door: "Teacher, please come in quickly..." The teacher recited the Buddha's name lightly, and led the little nun in.Unexpectedly, when the teacher saw the mad Taoist, she would say, "Amitabha! What wind brought the madman here?"

The master closed his eyes and smiled slightly when he heard this, and introduced Taoist priest Mu Yangzi to the teacher.Master Mu greeted the teacher with the disciple salute, and the teacher looked at me after returning the salute and said, "When did you go up the mountain?"

I was pouring tea for my teacher. When my teacher asked me, I hurriedly put down the pot and said: "I have been here for two or three days. I planned to kowtow to my teacher tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! I didn't expect to see my teacher today. "

When the teacher heard it, she laughed and said, "You cunning, you don't even say you want to see me if I don't come, but you always say you want to see me since I'm here. You are really smarter than the monkeys in Zhongnanshan."

As soon as the master heard it, he quickly took over the words and said: "Master, don't misunderstand, this child has been here for a few days. He is busy with work every day. Look, I just moved those wild chrysanthemums for me today."

The teacher looked back at the chrysanthemum, nodded and said to me: "Did you give away all the beads I gave you last time?" After I go down the mountain, I will give it to some people who are destined.

Because practicing on the mountain is lonely and boring, the teacher would string all kinds of beans together in his spare time. There are a total of eighteen different kinds of beans, which means eighteen arhats, commonly known as "eighteen sons".

Each string of beans silently recites a Buddhist name, so the beads have a strong sense of Buddhism.I remember that I once gave a few shibazi to some friends, and one of them cracked on the day of wearing it, but it showed signs of being closed again the next day.

At that time, my friend asked me what was going on, and I told him that a disaster was blocked.Now the teacher asked me again, and I just said all these.The teacher nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the teacher thought of something, smiled and said to everyone: "I am happy for a while, let me introduce to you. At this time, my nephew, the name of Dharma is peace of mind. Don't worry, I will meet some elders and you, brother Zhang soon." .”

The little nun stood up with her head down and clasped her hands together: "Amitabha, don't worry, I have entered the three masters and brother Zhang." The master, mad Taoist, and Taoist Mu all nodded. !"

At this moment, Taoist Mu got up and wanted to leave, but the master grabbed him: "Brother Dao, please be safe and don't be impatient. Since you are here, let's talk together. Why come and go in a hurry." Taoist Mu couldn't refuse after hearing it , sat down.

Master turned around and said to me: "Go and cook, everyone must be hungry." As soon as I heard the answer, I was about to go, but the crazy Taoist said: "Take out all the delicious food from your house, don't steal it." Hide it!"

I was about to refute him, when the teacher of the vowel said, "You are a lunatic, you only know how to eat, and you are disrespectful to the old." The lunatic just laughed when he heard it.

When I heard this, could it be that the madman is very old?It seems that he is only five or sixty years old.I didn't dare to ask any more questions, turned around and went, Taoism has a rule, you can't ask people's age, maybe this is not necessarily the case for a crazy Taoist to practice longevity......

The food in the mountains is easy to make.Boil some porridge, add a plate of fried lotus white with cold wild vegetables, and finally some pickles from the master's house. This is a meal.

After I served the dishes, the mad Taoist looked at me and said, "Boy, bring your Guokuimo. This soup with little water is the way to welcome guests." I just remembered it and forgot Take the pot helmet.

Ignored the mad Taoist, turned around and went to the house to get it.When I came out, I saw Master, Mrs. Yuanyin, and Mr. Mu were washing their hands.But the crazy Taoist eats vegetables with his hands!I hurried over and pulled him back: "You wash your hands too, and eat as soon as you catch it. How can others eat it?"

The mad Taoist chuckled, "You're a good kid!" After speaking, he went to wash his hands.

After I finished eating, I looked at my watch and it was three o'clock, and I didn't know what I was eating.I was about to tidy up when I heard Master say, "Come and listen too, I'll tidy up in the evening."

As soon as I heard it, I hurriedly sat next to Master, but unfortunately I had very little knowledge, and I could only hear a few words from the discussion of the four of them.Look at little nun Xinxin again, she is not much better than me.

Suddenly the vowel teacher said to me: "It will take some time to go down the mountain, and you can tell me your insights." I was completely stupid for a day, looking at Master, Taoist Mu and Daoist Crazy.I don't know where to start.The master closed his eyes slightly and said: "If you have nothing to say, don't be afraid of being wrong." Daoist Mu also said: "Yes! Brother Shi, you can rest assured."

I thought for a while and said boldly: "The "Yin Fu Jing" says that there are five thieves in the sky, and the commentaries on the five thieves throughout the ages are mostly five elements. I think it also refers to the five desires. Sex, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch .These five desires affect our understanding of nature and the origin of all things, and make us fall into various desires and cannot escape. In the final analysis, these five desires come from our greed.”

Speaking of this, I looked at all the people and continued: "Everyone in the world has greed, and they behave differently. And we practitioners are also firmly trapped by greed. , and everyone wants to cultivate the right fruit, become an immortal and a Buddha, and escape from the six realms." When I said this, I heard Master Yuanyin recite the Buddha's way: "It's in one sentence, it's good, it's good."

After hearing this, I was secretly happy: "Buddhism talks about compassion and letting go. Let go of what? Let go of the greed, caution and ignorance in your heart. Taoism talks about giving up, giving up what to give up, giving up the heart of innocence, giving up the heart of cultivating immortals. Go back Naturally, follow the weather.

Han Feizi said in "Jie Lao" that "if a person is blessed, he will be rich;This is the best explanation for Lao Tzu's inaction. That person doesn't want to be rich, and once rich, he wants to live forever, but he can't let go of wealth if he wants to live forever.

I remember when I went to Louguantai with my master, I saw Master Sun Simiao’s health stele and said that only those who understand the way of heaven will live longer.What is understanding the way of heaven? Let go of the desirelessness in your heart, follow the laws of natural changes, nourish your essence, build your spirit, and continue your qi.In this way, the sick body will check itself.We still need to practice internal and external alchemy."

I was about to continue, when my master said, "When did I start watching Han Feizi?" Before I could answer, I heard Daoist Mu say, "Brother Shi is right, we are all obsessed. Dan, but we have forgotten the most fundamental Taoist essence of innocence and inaction!" At this time, the mad Taoist patted his head and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Then he left the yard.

Looking at the mad Taoist walking out, I thought I had said something wrong.Just as the drum was beating in my heart, I heard Master Yuanyin say: "The lunatic should understand, and the poor nun of Amitabha should also leave." As he spoke, he gave me a few strings of eighteen beads of Buddha beads, and took the reassuring little nun away. up.Seeing that the teacher had also left, I didn't know what to say.

At this time, Taoist Master Muyangzi was also about to leave. I wanted to keep the Taoist priest, but he said that he had learned a lot today and he had to go back and think about it.

I saw that the master had no intention of staying any longer, so he sent the Taoist priest to the intersection.Along the way, the Taoist leader kept praising me for my fate, so I worshiped a great virtuous Taoist, I just smiled.

When we reached the intersection, the Taoist priest stopped and said to me: "Brother Shi, although we met late, we still know you well. This time we part, I don't know when to see you again. This book invites Brother Shi, I hope Brother Shi will achieve something. .” As he spoke, he took out a book from his pocket and handed it to me.

When I took a closer look, it was not so much a book as a booklet with a few thin pages.The whole booklet is yellow and old.There are only a few vague words on the surface, and the words Daming Xuande are faintly seen.I thought to myself, actually give me a book in the Ming version, haha, it seems that I am going to make a fortune.

I hurriedly opened the first page and saw that it read "Overview of the Six Yao Nine Yi Secret Technique".After seeing these words, he looked up at Taoist Mu: "This is..."

Daoist Mu directly interrupted me: "That's right, this is the secret book of the Jiuyi secret method, which was passed down to me by my master. It is also a secret divination technique passed down from generation to generation. It's a pity that I am too obsessed with practicing inner alchemy. You have discarded the foundation of this sect. I will give it to you today, and I hope that Shixiong can carry it forward one day."
