Life in the Taoist temple is fulfilling and leisurely. Going to bed early and getting up early every day really gives you a feeling of escaping from the world.
The morning sunlight was soft and not dazzling. Jiang Wan leaned on Qi'an to bask in the sun, Zhaocai was sticking out his tongue, and Jinbao was licking his fur leisurely.
The breeze gently brushed across her cheek, and the girl opened her red lips and ate a grape that Qi'an brought to her mouth.
“This is a magical day~”
Jiang Wan stretched and changed to a more comfortable position.
Qi'an put his arms around her and rocked her gently, as if coaxing a child.
These days, apart from daily morning and evening classes and occasional tasks, I just play with cats, dogs and snakes.
She also learned to play the flute from Qi'an and asked Zhaocai to learn to dance.
Zhaocai: I want to report Jiang Wan for animal abuse!
Jiang Wan ignored Zhaocai's vicious look and gently placed her hand on Jinbao. Jinbao turned over, showing his soft belly to Jiang Wan, and began to snore.
Netizens looked at themselves who were working hard, and then looked at Jiang Wan who was free and easy, and they wished they could take her place.
I really want to steal Jinbao. Is there anyone willing to join a group? I have a pink sack.
"You stole the treasure, so I'll take the fortune away. It's so hot this summer, it must be very comfortable to sleep with the cool fortune in my arms."
"Since Zhao Cai Jin Bao has been chosen, it should be no problem for me to carry Emperor Qi away. I really want to kick Jiang Wan away and lie down on him myself."
What kind of leisurely life is this? I don't want to go to this fucking class for even a single day. I want to become a monk too. Ugh.
"Junior Sister Jiang, Master is having a tea party and wants you to come."
Mingzhi's voice came over, Jiang Wan turned her head, her eyes lit up.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Jiang Wan responded, sat up from Qi An's arms, and jumped down nimbly.
Qi'an's expression softened as he dusted Jiang Wan off, then took her hand and walked towards the tea room.
Zhaocai and Jinbao, who were left behind, looked at each other in bewilderment.
When there is good luck, it brings wealth and treasure; when there is nothing, it is just a pair of weeds.
As soon as I opened the door to the tea room, I heard Ge Li clasping his hands together in front of Zi Yang Zhenren and saying attentively:
"Master, I heard that there is a special profession in China called tomb robbing. Can you take us to experience it?"
The corner of Master Zi Yang's mouth twitched:
"Not very good, Master can't figure out the mechanism."
Ge Li was shocked: "Oh my God, is there any mechanism that Master can't handle?"
Jiang Wan chuckled and said, "Public Security Bureau."
Ge Li: ???
Netizen: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
[You big fool, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You're still robbing tombs, you want to die!]
[Kyoto Prison reminds you, I have a pair of silver bracelets here, would you like them? ]
[Let's just say that Master Zi Yang really has a bit of a dry sense of humor, and the public security organs are so annoying.]
The tea party is actually where the disciples ask questions and the master answers them.
At the beginning, the fellow disciples asked some questions about scriptures, which were relatively obscure and difficult to understand. Director Lu saw that the comments in the live broadcast room had obviously decreased, and began to hint to the guests to participate.
Most netizens don’t know much about Taoism, and only see the immortal images in movies and TV dramas.
Another example is the Seven Stars and Eight Diagrams, Feng Shui sorcerers, and the Maoshan Taoist priests who were once very popular for catching zombies, all of which have cast a layer of mystery over Taoism.
Director Lu picked out a few questions that were popular in the barrage and secretly gave them to a few guests.
Lin Xiaohe looked at the note in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly said:
"Master, can a monk use bad words?"
Zi Yang Zhenren stroked his beard, his eyes vague:
"Once you can speak dirty words, your heart will be clean. If you don't speak them, they will become pent up in your heart, which is not conducive to your ascension."
Lin Xiaohe: “……it…makes sense.”
When Qu Weiyang saw the note, her eyes lit up. It was obvious that this was also a question she was curious about:
"Master, Master, do you ever feel like you're floating around when you meditate?"
Zi Yang Zhenren paused while stroking his beard and hesitated for a moment:
"...I've never farted that loud before."
Qu Weiyang:? ? ?
The question Ye Man received was the most normal one:
"Master, how do you explain the law of nature?"
Zi Yang Zhenren paused and began to stroke his beard again. The few strands of white beard were shiny and glossy.
"Tao follows nature. That's the way of Tao. It's all natural. Do whatever you want. The final right of interpretation belongs to me."
Ye Man: What a big deal!
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. This Zi Yang Zhenren is quite something. His Taoism is so magical and natural. Next time I translate classical Chinese, I'll do the same!]
Why do I feel like he's a charlatan?
I heard that the signature on the official Taoism blog used to be: Believe it if you want, get lost if you don't. Don't disturb my ascension. They were later ordered to change this, hahaha.
[Confucianism: Pick up, Buddhism: Put down, Taoism: Take it down! ]
[Other families: internal conflict, Taoists: I would rather die than let my fellow Taoists die! ]
The spiritual core of Taoism is very relevant to today's young people. Also, I'd like to ask, does the master know how to tell fortunes? Could you demonstrate it so we can learn more?
Jiang Wan glanced at this comment and simply asked directly to ease the situation of the large-scale chat dying.
Zhenren Zi Yang did not refuse. He waved his hand and asked Mingzhi to get the fortune stick box and draw lots and interpret the fortunes on the spot.
We have been staying in the Taoist temple for a week. Apart from chanting scriptures in the morning and evening, folding gold ingots and practicing Tai Chi, this is the first time for the guests to come into contact with metaphysics.
Everyone was extremely curious, especially Ge Li, who was completely conquered by Chinese culture.
They vied to be the first to kneel before Master Zi Yang and shook the fortune stick piously.
“Pah—”
A bamboo stick fell to the ground.
Everyone came forward to take a look.
Ye Man looked at the poem on the sign and read:
"In spring, I am filled with sorrow and worry. In summer, I begin to feel at ease. After the autumn comes and the winter solstice, it is like riding a crane with its waist tied to it."
Ge Li was confused by the classical Chinese text and looked up and asked:
"Master, what does this mean?"
Zi Yang Zhenren looked at the fortune slip, then looked at Ge Li:
"What do you want?"
Gulliver replied earnestly:
"Master, I pray for health."
True Man Zi Yang:
"It will be bad at first but good later. There will be some bumps in the road, but don't worry. I will show you a way. Kyoto Men's Hospital can cure your hidden disease."
Ge Li instantly turned into a black question mark face: !!!
There is no need to say it!!!
[Men's Hospital? What's going on? Tell me more!]
[He looks tall and strong, but I didn’t expect…]
[Good boy, a public execution is indeed true. Xiao Ge should be thinking of moving to another planet now.]
[Geli: I really want to escape, but I can’t.]
[Stop talking about it! The child is already suffering from psychological trauma, but it doesn't necessarily have to be about that, right?]
[If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought it was something else...]
Qu Weiyang: What?
