Wandering

Chapter 154 Refers to the Moon Xuanguang Night, the Heavenly Ladder to the Palace
"How did you come to this Floating Valley? And how did you meet Senior Tianyue?" Feng Junzi finally mentioned the matter between him and Tianyue for the first time, and I hurriedly asked curiously.

Feng Junzi looked at me sideways again, with meaningful eyes: "Mr. Zhang has checked my information, and you have read those information too. - Don't ask me how I know. The words of the female foreign minister are true, I just After interrogating Zhang Zhi for a few words, she explained everything her father did. Let me ask you, how did you record my whereabouts in that summer four years ago in that document?"

"Let me think about it, you were indeed not in Wucheng during the summer vacation before entering the second grade of junior high school. According to Mr. Zhang's information, you went to your second aunt's house. Your second aunt's family lives in a place called Wuguo County, where There is a large state-owned mine in the mountainous area of ​​the city, and your second uncle is the leader of the mine."

Feng Junzi: "The investigation is really detailed. In fact, Fusheng Valley is located at the border of Wuguo County, and the mine is on the edge of this mountainous area. ... I went up the mountain to pick strawberries to play, but I got lost for no reason..."

Feng Junzi told me about his experience four years ago in the summer.The child was naughty. He ran to the mountain to pick strawberries, but he couldn't find the way down the mountain. He walked to an unknown place.Feng Junzi was smart since he was a child, and he is not such a child who gets lost so easily, but this time the situation is very special.

Where he went, he couldn't see the direction of the sun during the day, and the trees and flowers around him couldn't judge the north and south from the distribution of tree crowns and branches. Feng Junzi panicked a little.Fortunately, he found a mountain spring in the woods, and found a mountain stream along the spring.According to common sense, if you walk along the stream in the mountains, you can usually reach the place where there are people in a short time.Feng Junzi walked along this stream. It is not easy to make such a move at a young age.

But the stream eventually disappeared into a valley without end.Junzi Feng didn't know how he could walk so far in a day, the place he came to was Fusheng Valley.You can see Sanmeng Peak when you look up in Fusheng Valley. It was already dark when Feng Junzi saw Sanmeng Peak.A twelve or thirteen-year-old child is naturally afraid of being surrounded by darkness in the barren mountains and mountains. At this time, he made a shameful and natural decision-sit on the ground and cry loudly.

Crying and crying, the surrounding suddenly became brighter, and a full moon rose on Sanmeng Peak.Although Feng Junzi was panicked at the time, he could still remember the day.He remembered that it couldn't be a full moon night, so there couldn't be a real moon on the mountain.There is a round glowing thing on the mountain, so there may be people there!This kid is indeed different from most other children of the same age.Feng Junzi wiped his tears and climbed up the Wangqing Ladder to Sanmeng Peak. It took him all night to finally pass the Wangqing Ladder.Just before the sun rose in the early morning, he came to the open gate of Wangqing Palace.

This is how he broke into Wangqing Palace by mistake. After hearing about it, I asked, "Is that how you met Senior Tianyue?"

Junzi Feng shook his head: "It's been several days since I met her. On the first day I was tired, mainly because I stole food and slept a lot. The next day I wandered around the Palace of Wangqing for a long time and got lost again. . On the third day, I happened to find Chengfeng Festival and Wangqing Palace’s Taoist method——the formula and mental method of "Merry Dafa". I groped to understand and learn it by myself, and then spent three days and three nights to practice the basics. Afterwards, the fairy appeared to meet me... At first I was taken aback, thinking that it was haunted. Later, I found out that this ghost is not scary, so I was not afraid."

I interrupted him: "Wait, there seems to be something wrong with what you said. First, how could you have passed through the cloud gate fog array in Wangqing Ladder? Second, there is a magic circle protecting you as a child in Wangqing Palace. How is it possible to go around in there? Thirdly, isn’t the Taoism of Wangqing Palace that only women can learn?”

Feng Junzi: "Good question, it's all about the problem! You may not believe it when you tell me, even I don't know the reason - if it wasn't for the fairy who told me later. She told me these reasons before expelling me from the palace, But at the same time, it also told me that this should be a secret, don't tell anyone else. So, I can't tell you!... Maybe it's all a chance, if I didn't grow up in the pile of old papers, how could I understand "Merry" What about those ancient characters in Dafa?...Actually, although I have learned it, I haven’t really practiced it.”

"I still don't understand!"

Feng Junzi: "Of course I can't tell the secret that the fairy doesn't want me to tell, even if the secret is my own. Also, you are not the heir of Wangqing Palace, so you shouldn't inquire about the secrets of Wangqing Palace."

"Okay, I don't want to inquire about secrets, so it's okay to ask about something else? ——You said that Master Tianyue didn't know you were a man at the beginning. Could it be that you were a man disguised as a woman?"

Feng Junzi: "This is a very interesting misunderstanding. In fact, I didn't take the initiative to speak out four years ago. I'm afraid that the Wangqing Palace is mine now. It's not that the fairy doesn't know, but she never thought that I would be a man. Men can learn how to be a woman. So she just thought I was a woman without even thinking about it."

"It's a bit unreasonable, isn't it? There is always a difference between a man and a woman, and you still can't tell by your appearance?"

Feng Junzi asked a very strange question: "Shi Ye, have you ever seen a man?"

"Nonsense, of course I've seen it, don't you!"

Feng Junzi: "That's right! You have seen a man, and someone told you what a man is, so you can know a man. If you have never seen a man, no one told you what a man should look like , what will happen?... Besides, I was young at that time, I hadn't developed much, and I had never undressed and bathed in front of the fairy.... Fairy Tianyue had never seen anyone other than the patriarch. She only Knowing that there is such a concept as a man, knowing that there is only one kind of person called a man in the world, but she didn't regard me as that kind of person."

I was stunned by what I said. It sounds bizarre and absurd, but it makes sense when I think about it carefully.The whole story of Feng Junzi's entry into Wangqing Palace has always been mysterious in my guess, but it is so simple and slightly absurd to say it.There are still a few twists and turns that I can't understand, but he doesn't want to say.I smiled and asked again: "How did Master Yue later find out that you are a man? Did you run naked in the Palace of Wangqing?"

Feng Junzi: "What nonsense!... I took the initiative to tell her... You have never been to Sanmeng Peak, it is another world. When I entered the Wangqing Palace at a young age, I almost forgot everything. I played there for a month. Then one day I suddenly woke up and thought how did I come here? My relatives and family must still be looking for me everywhere. I told the fairy that I was going back. The fairy asked me if I would come again in the future Do you want to come again? Of course I said yes, I said yes! She told me that I have learned the Taoism of Wangqing Palace, and if I become a disciple of Wangqing Palace, I can come here often. I happily agreed, so the fairy gave I had an initiation.—that's the initiation that went wrong."

"Something went wrong? Master Tianyue found out that you are a man?"

Feng Junzi: "I also held the initiation ceremony for you. The general process is similar, but the formal ceremony is more complicated. After worshiping the sky and asking questions, the last step is to receive precepts. The fairy told me the gate rules of Wangqing Palace for the first time. One of the gate rules is that only females are accepted. After I heard it, I immediately asked - 'How can this be, I am a male?' As a result, Fairy Tianyue was also called stupid by this sentence... There was no initiation ceremony. Finished, I was expelled from Wangqing Palace instead."

"The entrance ceremony has become the exit ceremony, and you are unlucky enough! Can I ask one more question, how come there are so many weird rules in Wangqing Palace? I'm not talking about only accepting women, but one palace with nine gates, There are also rules that are not passed down in this sect?"

Feng Junzi raised a finger and pointed at the towering Sanmeng Peak: "If there is such a big mountain, there are nine ways to go up the mountain. I have pointed out these nine ways to you, how can you go up?"

"It is impossible for me to take nine roads to the mountain at the same time. I can only choose one road that I think is the best."

Feng Junzi nodded and said: "This is the truth of the road in the world. When you finally stand at the end of the peak, the nine different roads will all converge at your feet to form the same end point. If your practice reaches this state, You can lure newcomers to the mountain from any road, because you have reached the goal of each road.... Then tell me, why are there rules that are not passed on in your own school?"

"This is a measure, a standard, and a test for successors of Wangqing Palace. If she doesn't lead her disciples up the same path, it means that she has surpassed the realm of one of the nine sects. This sect does not The rules of transmission are also a restriction on the eligibility of disciples to teach the Dharma, and she is not qualified to teach others when she herself has not surpassed the realm."

Feng Junzi: "Basically, you are right. What you haven't said is the rules of Wangqing Palace, which you don't need to know.... If it weren't for the strange rules of practice in Wangqing Palace, I would have laid down this magical and unreasonable rule as soon as I started. It is a rare foundation, and it is impossible to have enlightenment to create the 'Four Doors and Twelve-Story Buildings' and the 'Three Dreams in the World' to pass on to you.... Do you have anything else to ask?"

"If it's something I shouldn't ask, I won't ask, and you don't have to tell me if you ask. I just want to ask the last question-why doesn't Master Tianyue come out of Wangqing Palace? Why doesn't she see outsiders? It's too boring to be in Wangqing Palace! With her high level of cultivation and walking in the world, isn't Ji Shidu a good person? I think all capable people should be like this."

Feng Junzi bowed his head and was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then he raised his head and asked me a very strange sentence: "Shi Ye, when it rains, will you help the ants move?"

"No, but when there is a flood, I will go to the embankment to rescue."

Feng Junzi smiled: "You rescued the emergency, and my father also rescued the emergency, but I locked the fairy in the cloud! The Liqiao fair was still broken in the second year.... I don't know what the fairy thinks, but I am in the market. I grew up in middle school, and went to Sanmeng Peak to practice myself, I know that feeling."

"How does it feel? Looking back on all living beings in the world on Sanmeng Peak, is it like watching ants move on a rainy day?"

Feng Junzi: "I can't say that completely. I can't describe it. You have to understand it this way. Think about it. These people have to eat three meals a day, sleep every night, and get sick every now and then. Getting injections and taking medicine. Running around day after day, going to and from work to earn money, fighting for fame and fortune, getting married and having children, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling, children going to school, studying and taking exams, being praised by parents and criticized by teachers, adults leading others to serve the leaders... …If these things are told to the fairy, it is unimaginable in her eyes, and these people are not her kind at all. …Of course, these are just speculations. Looking at the people under Sanmeng Peak from the perspective of a fairy, what should you say? What does it feel like?"

I also laughed: "The people you mentioned are the people around you and me. They really have nothing to do with the world on Sanmeng Peak, although I can imagine it without going to Wangqing Palace. There is one thing I misunderstood before. Dao is not to learn from Lei Feng, you don’t have to do things in the world if you have power beyond ordinary people, it’s good to be harmless to the world.”

Feng Junzi: "This is actually a state of transcendence. The common people's understanding of the state is often prone to mistakes, such as those superman movies in the United States. If a person is alone, will he find the pleasure of galloping in the ant nest? Will he be proud of his ingenuity among the monkeys? Practitioners will face this kind of problem if they can practice until the end, so they all have to solve the proposition of pursuit in the end. It is also because of this that the seniors in the practice world will Set the three major precepts of the world...Shi Ye, I will ask you a question now - why has no one in this world seen a real immortal?"

He asked this wonderful question, and finally led our long conversation to a very core content.Why has no one seen a real fairy?If an ordinary person sees Master Tianyue, what is it if he is not a god?I thought for a while and replied: "According to logic, there are only two possibilities. One is that there are no immortals at all, and the other is that practitioners will never return after becoming immortals."

Feng Junzi: "You are studying alchemy, and the pursuit of alchemy is immortality and ascension to immortality, so we can't talk about the first possibility for you. There is only one question left. Why don't immortals return after ascending?"

I smiled knowingly: "You just said it. A monkey suddenly turned into a human. Should he seek the human world or stay in the monkey group and become the monkey king? This feeling is like a caterpillar pupating into a butterfly. "
