Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 29 Zhang Daoling Seven Tests Zhao Sheng (2)
The next day, when the disciples opened the door to look, Zhao Sheng stood in front of him and asked to see the teacher.All the disciples said: "My teacher is very private. I have been serving for decades, but I have not given the slightest secret to pass on. What's the benefit of thinking of you?" I came here in a hurry, and I only want to see him once, so that I can admire my ears for the rest of my life." The disciples said again: "It's up to you to see him, but my teacher is not here. Know when he will return to the mountain? Don't be too stupid to wait, there is a mistake. The future." Zhao Sheng said: "A certain person came here out of sincerity. If the real person does not come back in ten days, I am willing to wait for ten days; if I do not come in a hundred days, I am willing to wait for a hundred days."

Seeing that Zhao Sheng stayed for several days without turning around, everyone became more and more disgusted.Gradually, he uttered insulting words, and later he treated him as a beggar and abused him with evil words.Zhao Sheng became more and more pleasant, completely unconcerned.Every day, I only go to the village to buy a meal at noon. After eating, I come to the door to serve.In the evening, no one was allowed to enter the house, and they only slept in the open in front of the steps for more than forty days.All the disciples discussed privately: "Although I will not leave him, and I am so happy that I have hidden it from my master, I haven't realized it for a long time." I saw the real person ringing the bell in the Dharma hall to gather the crowd, saying: "The disciples of the Zhao family have been here for more than forty days. It's enough to be humiliated, we can invite you to meet today." All the disciples were shocked, only then did they realize that the master had the spirit of foresight.Wang Chang was ordered by his teacher to call Zhao Shengjin to see him.When Zhao Sheng saw the real man, he wept and kowtowed to be his disciple.The real person knows that he sincerely seeks the way, and wants to try it again.After a few days, he was sent to the farmhouse to guard the millet seedlings.

Zhao Cheng was ordered to come to the edge of the field. There was only a small thatched hut, surrounded by nothing to lean on, and there were many wild animals.Zhao Sheng waited on and chased him day and night, and never slack off.Suddenly one night, the moon was as bright as the day.Sitting alone in the hut, Zhao Sheng saw a woman who was very beautiful. When she entered the room, she said, "I am the daughter of a farmer in Xicun, and she came out to play with me on the moon. I lost my partner because I went to the fields to have a rest. , I can’t find it, and I’m lost here. My feet hurt, and I can’t move an inch. The beggar is pitiful, and I’m grateful for the concubine.” Zhao Sheng was about to push back, when the woman went to his bed and fell asleep.In the mouth, there was a tender cry, only to say that the foot hurts.Zhao Sheng believed it was true, so he had no choice but to let him sleep.I spread some grass by myself, fell to the ground with my clothes on, and slept all night.The next day, the woman felt pain in her feet again, deliberately refused to walk, and begged for tea and food coquettishly.Zhao Sheng had no choice but to take care of him.The woman said some gossip to seduce Zhao Sheng.In the evening, first take off your clothes and go to the upper bunk, and Yang Zhaosheng will pull the quilt and add clothes with him.Zhao Sheng's heart is like a stone. Seeing that the woman is evil, he doesn't even enter the thatched hut, but just sits by the edge of the field until dawn.On the fourth day, the woman had disappeared, and there were only four poems inscribed on the earthen wall, saying: "Everyone who is beautiful is good, like a king with a heart of iron and stone. If you don't have fun, you will live up to your good time." like New.After watching it, Zhao Cheng laughed and said, "How long can a young man have fun?" Then he took off the sole of his shoe and erased the handwriting.Exactly: Luo Hua intentionally follows the flowing water, while the flowing water loves the falling flowers mercilessly.

Time flies, and spring is coming and autumn is coming. Zhao Cheng was ordered by the real person to carry the woodcutter's ax and go to the back of the mountain to cut firewood.Accidentally cut down a dead pine tree, went to Delida, and the pine root burst out with a whoosh.Zhao Sheng pulled up the pine root with both hands, and when he looked at it, there was a golden cellar underneath.Suddenly someone said in the air: "God gave Zhao Sheng." Zhao Sheng thought: "I am a monk, what is the use of this gold? Besides, if I have no merit, how can I be greedy for God's gift?" Then he covered the mountains and soil.After picking up the firewood, I felt sleepy, so I sat against a stone and took a short rest.Suddenly there was a strong wind, and three yellow-spotted tigers jumped out of the valley.Zhao Sheng'an couldn't sit still, the three tigers hugged Zhao Sheng and bit his clothes without hurting himself.Zhao Sheng was not afraid at all, and his color remained unchanged. He said to the tiger: "I, Zhao Sheng, have never done anything ignorant in my life. Now I have abandoned my home and entered the Tao. I have traveled thousands of miles to find a wise teacher and seek the road of immortality. If I owe you a long-term debt in my previous life , this life is for you to chew, dare not avoid; if not, you can go quickly, don't be annoyed here." The three tigers heard the words, bowed their heads and left.Zhao Sheng said: "This will be sent by the mountain god to test me. Life and death are life and death, so why should I be afraid!" When he returned with a lot of wood that day, he didn't tell his peers about seeing gold and meeting tigers.

Another day, Zhenren paid Zhao Sheng to buy ten bolts of silk in the market.After Zhao Sheng returned the value, he took the silk and returned.In the middle of the journey, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "The silk thief, go slowly!" When Zhao Sheng looked back, it was the master of the silk seller. Return it, how can I take it away? Return it to me, and everything will be over!" Zhao Sheng did not argue, but said: "This silk is what my teacher wants to use. If you return it to him, how will you reply to Master?" Then he took off the sable The owner of fur and silk will allow the price of the silk.The master of silk thought it was too little, so he took off his brocade jacket and gave it to him, and the master of silk left.Zhao Sheng presented the real person with silk.The real person asked, "Where did your clothes go?" Zhao Cheng said, "Occasionally, you get sick and have a fever, and you never wear them." A robe was given to Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Sheng happily wore it.

Another day, when Zhao Sheng and his peers were harvesting grain in the field, they suddenly saw a man by the roadside begging for food. His clothes were torn and his face was dirty;Everyone of the same generation covered their noses and scolded him.Zhao Sheng couldn't bear the loneliness in his heart, so he helped him to sit in the hut and asked him about his suffering.Save your own food for him to eat.He also burned a bucket of hot soup to wash the filth for him.The man also said that he was cold and wanted a coat.Zhao Sheng unbuttoned his cloth robe and took off an inner garment to keep out the cold.At night, I miss him without relying on him, and I am my own companion.In the middle of the night, the man called again for solution.Hearing this, Zhao Sheng hurriedly got up, helped him out, and helped him in again.I save food to feed him during the day, and often live half-starved; take care of him at night.For more than ten days, there was no fatigue at all.The man's sores were getting better, and he suddenly left without saying goodbye.Zhao Sheng also has no complaints.Later generations have a poem praising it: When people are in trouble, you must show kindness, and when you look forward to repaying, you are also a villain.Don't hesitate to benevolent and don't look forward to reporting, and divide the world into Yangchun.

It was early summer, and the real person gathered all his disciples together to climb to the top of Tianzhu Peak.Tianzhu Peak, on the left of Heming Mountain, hangs on three sides, and its shape is like a city.The real person led his disciples to look down at the top of the peak. There was a peach tree next to the stone wall, like a person stretching out his arm, facing the unpredictable abyss.There are many peaches on the peach tree, which are lovely red.The real person said to all his disciples: "If someone can get this peach fruit, he should tell the truth." At that time, there were 230 disciples except Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng.They all stood on the cliff and watched, sweating and sweating, and they couldn't even stand on their feet.After taking a look, he stepped back in a hurry, fearing that he would fall.There was only one person who stood out, and that was Zhao Shengye.He said to everyone: "My teacher ordered me to take peaches, so there must be a reason why the peaches can be obtained; and the holy teacher is here, and the ghosts and gods will protect me, so that I will not die in the deep valley." Look down and jump.There is such a strange thing, that jump is neither crooked nor slanted, neither up nor down, with his feet separated, he just straddled the peach tree, and picked the peach fruits at will.Looking at the top of the stone wall in the distance, there are two or three feet hanging, and there is no climbing on all sides, and there is no way to climb it. Instead, I pick the peaches and throw them upwards.The real person took them one by one with his hands.Throwing and picking, picking and throwing; throwing down, picking up, picking a tree of peaches clean.After the real person picked up the peaches, he ate one. Wang Chang ate one and left one for Zhao Sheng, leaving exactly 230 four.Distribute one among the disciples, no more, no less.

The real person asked: "Which one of the disciples has the ability to guide Zhao Sheng up?" The disciples looked at each other, who would dare to agree?The real person stretched out his arm from Linyan to receive Zhao Sheng.The arm suddenly grew two or three feet, until it reached Zhao Sheng's side.Zhao Sheng went up with his arms, and all the disciples were shocked.The real person will leave a peach and eat it with Zhao Sheng.The real person said with a smile: "Zhao Sheng has a righteous heart, and he can throw himself on a tree without falling. I want to try it now. If the heart is right, I will get a big peach." All the disciples remonstrated: "Although my teacher has a wide range of Taoism How can you try yourself on the precipice of unpredictability? Just now Zhao Sheng was lucky to rely on my teacher to pick him up. If my teacher falls, who else will pick up my teacher? Absolutely not." Several people held on to their clothes and tried to persuade them.But Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng were silent.The real person refused to listen to everyone's advice, so he threw himself into the sky.Everyone looked at the peach tree anxiously, but there was no trace of the real person; looking down, there was no bottom, and there was no way to go.I saw the real person falling into the deep valley, not knowing whether to live or die.All the disciples were amazed and weeping.Zhao Cheng said to Wang Chang: "Master, you are also my father. My master cast himself on the cliff of unpredictability. How can I be safe? It's not as if we cast it together and see where it goes." So Sheng and Chang each threw themselves, Just ahead of real people.I saw the real person sitting on the rock, seeing Sheng and Chang falling, laughed and said, "I'm sure you two will come." The novelist called these stories "Zhao Sheng for seven tests".Then see the seven tests?In the first test, you will not be insulted; in the second test, you will not be tempted by beauty; in the third test, you will not take money when you see it; in the fourth test, you will not be afraid of tigers; The first test, to save money with one's heart; the seventh test, to risk one's life to follow the teacher.

It turned out that these seven tests were all real people's ideas.The gold, beauties, big bugs, and beggars are all transformed by him by enslaving the elves.The owner of the silk seller is also a fake.This is called trying the truth.Anyone who enters the Tao must first cut off the seven emotions.That seven emotions?Joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hate, desire.What the real person said to his disciples before: "You have not got rid of your vulgarity, and you can leave the world safely?" This is exactly what it means.Let's say that people in the world today are arrogant and arrogant. Seeing the teacher who is here, he speaks a little heavier, and he is angrily;Adding the suffering of sleeping in the open for more than forty days, who is willing to do this alone?As for the word "color", people are born first here and die first here. Who is not obsessed?Dear judges, if you happen to meet a woman when you are living alone, you don’t need to be a little bit of color, please be disappointed, and you can’t ask for it; besides, she is very beautiful, and you are upside down, but you are not attracted ?Among the ancients, apart from Liu Xiahui, I am afraid that there is no other person.And now, for the sake of a few banknotes, brothers are divided, and friends are broken.I found a penny on the road, but I also called out: "Lucky!" and smiled brightly.Seeing this pit of gold, a thing without an owner, who can't afford to be greedy?Isn't this rare?Today, when people see a vicious dog approaching, they are also startled; besides, the three big worms are not afraid at all, even Patriarch Lu Chunyang, who sacrificed his life to eat the tiger, had no choice but to be like this.Let's talk about the section of buying silk. You can see that people who are doing business in buying and selling nowadays can get a bargain, and they are happy.On weekdays, if you wrong him with a single word, you have to gamble with God's punishment curse, who is willing to double bargain?Just ignore him when he wronged him; take off his clothes, and show no stinginess; it's not that his eyes are very big, how can he tolerate this?Another example is that when a parent suffers from a serious illness, and the children and grandchildren serve at the bedside, if they are not filial, even if they don’t say it, they will hate it in their hearts; let alone the beggars on the roadside, undressing and pushing food, is it considered a trivial matter?In the end, I threw myself on the cliff twice, because I believed in the master very sincerely, even though I died, I would not regret it.After trying all these seven things, it is only then that Zhao Sheng has seven emotions, and he has never been attached to any of them.It is exactly: when the Tao is strong, the world is less interesting, and the world is broken where the Dharma is born.Gossip off topic.Seeing Sheng and Chang, the real man has a strong heart of Taoism, and he will teach the secrets he has learned in his life in detail.

In this way for three days and three nights, the two of them did their best.The real person flew to the cliff, and the two followed him and returned to the old house.When the disciples met, they were shocked.One day, the real man closed his eyes and sat in the daytime. After he felt it, he called Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng and said: "There are demons in Badong, so we should get rid of them together." forward.The real person asked: "There is a salty spring here, where is it now?" The goddess replied: "The big pond is in front of it. It is recently occupied by a poisonous dragon, and the water is already turbid." The real person then wrote a talisman and threw it into the sky.The Taoist talisman circled from the sky, and suddenly turned into a roc Garuda, flying back and forth on the Qiu.The poisonous dragon was frightened, and left the Qiu, and the water cleared.The twelve goddesses each took out a jade ring from their bosoms to offer, saying: "Concubines and others admire Xianzhen, and would like to use the dustpan."The real person threw the ring into the well, and said to the goddess: "The one who can get this ring should be my destiny, and I will accept it." The twelve goddesses wanted to take the ring, and they rushed to take off their clothes and enter the well first.The real person then wrote a talisman and threw it into the well, saying: "For thousands of years, I will be the god of the well forever." Immediately called the residents, drew water and boiled it, and it turned into table salt.Fu: "From now on, those who cook salt will sacrifice to the twelve goddesses."

The twelve goddesses are all goblins, who confuse men on one side and bring disasters and disasters.The talisman was suppressed by the real person, and he enjoyed the sacrifice, and never appeared again.From then on, the residents of Padang have no harm from the goddess, but have the benefit of the salt well.

The real person has finished eliminating demons and returned to Heming Mountain.One day at noon, I suddenly saw a man with a black headband, silk clothes, and a sword holding a jade letter. He came in and said, "Bring me a halal talisman, and call the real person to visit Langyuan." Lead real people to board the car until Jinque.After the collection of immortals, the real person said: "Today, you can go to the Supreme Yuanshi Tianzun." There are two young boys in Russia, Zhu Yijiang Jie, who go forward to guide them.To the first hall, there are gold steps and jade bricks, real people dress up and move in, and the worship and dancing are over.In the hall, the young boy was ordered to hold a jade book, and the real person was awarded the title of "Zheng Tianshi", so that he would use the method of "Zhengyi Alliance Power" to announce to the world that he would be a celestial master in the world, and persuade those who have not yet realized it.He also secretly ordered the period of ascension.

The real person was ordered to go back to the mountain, and sealed the "Mengwei", "Dugong" and other secret products, as well as the two evil swords, jade books, jade seals, etc., in a letter.It is said that all the disciples said: "I will raise it one day. Among the disciples, whoever can raise this letter will be the heir."The real person said: "Three days after I left, I will have a descendant here, and the world will be your teacher." At the end of the day, Zhendu called Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng to say: "You two have deep powers, and the numbers are combined. Chongju; there are still remaining pills, which can be divided into bait. Today, I will go up with me." At noon in the pavilion, a group of immortals came from Bibi, and Tianle guided them. The real person, Wang Chang, and Zhao Sheng were in Heming Mountain, ascending to heaven in the daytime .All the disciples looked up at the cloud, but disappeared for a long time.It happened on September 120th in the first year of Yongshou of Emperor Huan of Shi Huan, and Ji Zhenzhen was [-] years old.

Three days after the real person ascended to heaven, the eldest son Zhang Heng arrived from Longhu Mountain.All the disciples realized the words of "heirs", and instructed to seal the letter and prepare the will of the real person.Zhang Heng lifted it lightly, opened the seal and looked at it, then bowed to Kong to receive the jade book and seal.So I devoted myself to discussing all kinds of secret scriptures, killing demons and binding evils, and the response was like a ring.So far, descendants have inherited the law, and they have been the masters of heaven for generations.Later generations commented on the "Seven Trials of Zhao Sheng", and there are poems to prove it: When the world talks about gods, who can see them go to the nine heavens?It's not that the immortal family is all vain, and it's rare to have a firm heart.
