Chapter 42 someone is talking nonsense

The poem goes: Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is slanted, and in the depths of the white clouds, I visit the fairy's house.Knocking on the door and making love pills, the old face is ashamed as February Flower.It is said that Zou Xin, the Kongtong Taoist priest, came to Bai Yuchan sincerely to ask for the elixir, but he was openly rejected and humiliated.At that time, Zou Xin was filled with unspeakable grief and indignation, and said, "Brother Bai, listen to me, don't be so shameless as an old man, everyone is an old man with the same gray beard, I'll take your alchemy pill, anyway, you can't do it alone. Why are you so selfish when you can't eat so much?

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuchan just snorted coldly and said: "The narcissus doesn't bloom, so don't pretend to be a big petal of garlic to the Taoist master."Do you think that if you take off your Confucian uniform and put a Taoist crown on your head, I won't recognize you as the sage Zhu Xi?I bother!You also forged your identity as Kongtong Taoist Zou Xin, you still have to be shameless? At that time, the person who claimed to be Kongtong Taoist Zou Xin was stunned: Bai Yuchan, you really have some skills, and you can see my identity at a glance. Could it be, are you really a big toad?Admit it, humans don't have this kind of abnormal vision.

Bai Yuchan said: "Whether I am a toad or a human is none of your business. Anyway, I have left many poems in this world, my sect, and many apprentices who learned alchemy from me. Even if you want to take me wrong Neither do people.On the contrary, you, Zhu Xi, do you think saints are so easy to do?Hmph, just wait to be scolded to death. Zhu Xidao: Xiaobai, what you said is very true. In fact, Zhu Xi and I have already opened up the two schools of Buddhism and Confucianism, but this is useless.I was thinking, if you want to escape from being insulted and abused, you have to follow the path of Taoism, so I came to you to ask for the elixir.

Bai Yuchan shook his head: "Xiao Zhu, you are so bad, it's not that the Taoists are not scolded, and no one can escape.But the reason why you Confucians are the worst scolded is because you are so famous.It's not like you don't know that the more incompetent a person is, the more fiercely he scolds a capable person.Because Taoists were born in this world, they don't do much, so the chances of being scolded are a little less.Your Confucianism pays attention to being in the world and serving the country and the people. You do the most work, so you get scolded the most. Zhu Xi shook his head: But they scolded you so badly, I'd better stay here with you to study alchemy.

Bai Yuchan also shook his head: I'm sorry, you came too late, now your Confucianism foundation has been cultivated, and the incurable thought of serving the country and the people has been immersed in your genes. No chance.I advise you to be wise, turn around and go down the mountain as soon as possible, work honestly, and be scolded steadily, you have no choice. Zhu Xi: But I still want to... Bai Yuchan interrupted him: Don't even think about it, you are with me, I can't help you if you don't say it, you will drag me down, maybe I will be abused in the future.Please, I'm begging you, get the hell out... Without any explanation, Bai Yuchan forcibly pushed Zhu Xi out of the door.Zhu Xi still didn't give up, and came back after a few days, only to find that the small shack was deserted and empty.Bai Yuchan unexpectedly disappeared.Eight hundred years later, batch after batch of historians went to heaven and earth, trying to find Bai Yuchan, but they couldn't find it anyway. This mysterious animal, who didn't know whether it was a human or a toad, mysteriously disappeared in the history. In the long river.The year he disappeared, he was just thirty-six years old. Apart from leaving behind a collection of poems, a few disciples never did anything serious for the world, so very few people knew him, even if someone wanted to scold him , There is no way to scold.

Zhu Xi paid homage to the mysterious animal Bai Yuchan, trying to break into the door of Taoism and open up the passage of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but failed in the end, and was soon scolded to death.But what he experienced became a blueprint for Wang Shouren to copy on his own head after plagiarizing. Feng Menglong's "Records of the Birth of Mr. Wang Yangming, a Great Confucian of the Imperial Ming Dynasty, in Jingluan Records" records like this: Next year, he will be appointed as the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and next year, he will be ordered to interrogate Jiangbei.Many cases have been rehabilitated, and the people say they are not wronged.

After the matter was over, he traveled to Mount Jiuhua, visited the temples of Wuxiang and Huacheng, and must pass by when he arrived.The Daoist Cai Peng sat in the hall with his head squatting, his clothes were loose and rough, and he looked crazy.The gentleman knows that he is a different person, and he pays homage with guest courtesy, and asks the gods if they can learn from him. Cai shook his head and said: "Not yet." After a while, Mr. screened to the left and right, led to the back pavilion, bowed again, and asked again.Cai shook his head again and said, "Not yet."

The gentleman was very earnest, and Cai said: "You say that you are doing your best in bowing and bowing. I think you are a group of officials and officials, and you are even a god." Mr. laughed and said goodbye. This record tells that Wang Shouren traveled to Jiuhua Mountain, and when he arrived at a temple, he found a strange Taoist named Cai Pengtou, dressed in a cloak of cotton, who looked like he was insane.Wang Shouren concluded that this way is extraordinary, and immediately stepped forward and asked: Master, do you think I can learn the art of immortals?The strange old Taoist Cai Peng shook his head: "It's not enough, it's not enough... I said this twice, and finally gave Wang Shouren a sentence: You have an official face, what are you talking about seeking immortality and Taoism?"

From this record, we can safely conclude that if it was not Wang Shouren himself who made up the story, then it was his disciples who made it up.It's hard to say who was the one who made the nonsense, but it is certain. Is there any proof? Have!
