Chapter 796 The Door to Wonders

Guanxi is located on the plateau, bordered by Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The pass is in the valley and is as deep and dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. It is one of the earliest fortresses in Chinese history.

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found that he was standing on this pass, facing the east, looking into the distance. This pass stretched for several miles from east to west, but the width of the ancient road through the pass was only about two meters, with only room for

One car passed through, and on the pass, there was an endless stream of people passing through the pass. There was a long queue of several hundred meters. There were many sergeants in cloth armor, holding spears and spears, standing on both sides of the pass and the pass, guarding the pass.

, checking the passing cars and horses.

In Xia Ping'an's eyes, the soldiers who closed the pass were somewhat lazy and lackadaisical. Thinking about it, a man would stand at this pass day after day, year after year, looking at the cars on the east and west sides of the pass.

Horse walkers come and go in the dust, and here they are in the wind and sun, smelling the horse urine evaporating from the sun, and looking at the sheep excrement eggs scattered on the pass. It would be a ghost to feel energetic.

In the eyes of all the guards, the most energetic person in Hangu Pass is of course Mr. Guan Ling. In fact, no one at Hangu Pass understands that Mr. Guan Ling has read ancient books since he was a child, is proficient in calendars, and is good at observing astronomy.

, who practices astrology, can know the past and see the future, is highly valued and trusted by King Zhao, and has a bright future, but why did he leave a good doctor to do it, but insisted on taking the initiative to go from Luoyi to Hangu, a place where no one cares?

I made a small customs order and was exposed to the wind and sun every day, listening to the noise of the sheep and horses.

Precisely because this Guan Ling was a doctor and came here on his own initiative, after arriving at Hangu Pass, the sergeants at Hangu Pass all respected this Guan Ling.

In fact, Xia Ping'an, who was standing at Hangu Pass at this moment, was also thinking about this problem. Yin Xi was a popular person around King Zhou and was capable. Why would such a person give up his position as a doctor and take the initiative to come to Hangu Pass to serve as a small passer?

According to historical records, Yin Xi was born in Guiyang County in the pre-Qin Dynasty, his mother was Lu, and he was born in Xi. His eyes had the essence of the sun, and he had the appearance of the sun. He was good at graves, suo, su, and Yi's books. He was good at astronomy and secret latitudes. He looked up and down, and there was nothing wrong with him.

He was very clear. He did not practice vulgar etiquette, but hid his virtues and practiced benevolence. Later, because he was involved in the mountains and rivers, he came to the hometown of Zhouzhi County in Zhongnan Mountain, Yongzhou, and heard that the immortals were knotted with grass to make a building.

His house was a tower. When the King of Zhou heard about it, he worshiped him as a senior official, and later recruited him as a guest in the East Palace. In the 33rd year of King Zhao of Zhou, Yin Xi resigned from the post of senior official to the King of Zhou and asked to be appointed as the official of Hangu Pass to hide his subordinates.

Leave a message...

"Without Yin Xi, the sage Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass in the west and disappeared without a trace. I am afraid that there would be no more Tao Te Ching left in the world. Therefore... Yin Xi resigned from the post of doctor and did not return home, nor did he return to Zhongnan Mountain.

, but took the initiative to come to this remote Hangu Pass from the prosperous Luoyi. That was because he already knew that in the future, a saint would leave the pass and journey to the west. He was here to complete his life mission and leave a legacy for China.

Download a treasure like the "Tao Te Ching"..." Xia Pingan murmured to himself, this is the most reasonable explanation.

Xia Pingan won't be disappointed. He doesn't know when I will come, but he knows that it should be soon.

If there is no Divine Sense Crystal, it would be crazy to be able to fuse this world bead. Every day, there are countless people coming and going in this pass. Who knows that the mission of this world bead is to stop an old man riding a green bull?

!

At this moment, a red-faced official guarding the gate with a dark and rough face came over and bowed respectfully to Xia Ping'an, "It's very windy and sunny here. Why don't you rest in the official residence? This is the place where you can rest."

Give it to us. Anyway, there is nothing going on here. If anything happens, we will inform you sir..." As he spoke, the clerk looked eastward a few times and said, "I wonder what you are looking at eastward here every day.

There is nothing on the road except people who have passed the customs!"

Xia Pingan smiled slightly and said, "Let all the soldiers in Guanzhong clean the official residences in Guanzhong today and prepare to welcome distinguished guests!"

"Ah..." The official was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to ask anything. He just went to make arrangements quickly. Master Guan Ling rarely gave orders to everyone, but when he gave an order, it was a military order and it must be followed.

execution of buckles.

After giving the order, all the soldiers in Hangu Pass moved into action. Except for some of the soldiers guarding the pass, everyone else took sweeping tools and began to clean the pass and official residences.

After cleaning for a day, it was finally done. The next day, Xia Ping'an took people to the entrance of Hangu Pass early in the morning and waited respectfully.

The soldiers guarding the pass were quite surprised, because they had never seen the passer-in-law be so solemn.

Xia Pingan waited at Guandaokou for a day, but found nothing.

In the following days, Xia Ping'an asked the soldiers guarding the gate to clean the gate and the official residence every day. Every day from the time of opening and closing to retreat, he went to the gate in person to wait for people, and everyone seemed to have passed the gate.

.

Finally, at noon on the seventh day, on the east road, an old man with silver hair sat cross-legged on a green cow and walked slowly and unhurriedly towards Guandao.

Seeing this old man, Xia Pingan was shocked. He quickly adjusted his clothes and stood in the road. When the old man riding a green bull approached, Xia Pingan looked at the old man and saw that the old man had a long beard and an ancient and peaceful face.

, eyes slightly closed, calm and composed, but the aura on his body is unfathomable and indescribable. Looking from a distance is like a mountain, and being close is like a cloud. It seems ethereal, but it seems to be everywhere, slightly revealing, but hard to find, majestic but unpredictable.

And innocent and natural.

Xia Pingan finally knew why Confucius said that I was like a dragon after meeting him.

Xia Pingan took a deep breath, saluted the old man, and stopped him.

"Yin Xi has met sir!"

Seeing Xia Pingan blocking the road, the old man riding on the green bull opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xia Pingan, "Why are you blocking me?"

"Sir, do you want to leave seclusion?" Xia Pingan asked.

"nature!"

"I am the customs officer of Hangu Pass. Anyone who leaves the customs must have my consent. You can't just leave, sir. If I don't let you leave something behind, I'm afraid I will be ashamed of the sages and future generations. You think that

how?"

The old man sitting on the green bull glanced at Xia Pingan, his eyes slightly lowered, nodded, and said one word, "Good!"

Xia Pingan let out a long breath, thinking that he finally kept the "Tao Te Ching". He smiled, walked over, bowed as a disciple, took Lao Tzu's green ox, and walked towards the official residence of Hangu Pass.

Xia Ping'an welcomed Lao Tzu into his official residence, and stayed there for a hundred days as a teacher in the north. Lao Tzu left behind a five-thousand-word "Tao Te Ching" and then floated away on a green ox...

…

Xia Pingan took the "Tao Te Ching" left by Lao Tzu and felt like he had found a treasure. He immediately memorized every word and picture in the "Tao Te Ching" in his heart.

But, why doesn’t the world of this World Pearl collapse?

Xia Pingan's heart moved. Could it be that this world bead still has a chance for breakthrough fusion?

As the saying goes, opportunities must not be missed and they will never come back. Thinking of Yin Xi's deeds, Xia Ping'an did not dare to waste time at all. He quickly returned to the official residence and started reading "Wen Shizhen" while reading the "Tao Te Ching" left by Lao Tzu. through".

"Wenshi Zhenjing", also known as "Guan Yinzi", is Yin Xide's experience and understanding after studying the "Tao Te Ching" taught by Laozi, and wrote it as a text. The whole book is divided into one universe, two pillars, three poles and four talismans. , five mirrors, six daggers, seven cauldrons, eight chips, nine medicines and other nine chapters. The Yu refers to the Tao; the pillars build the heaven and the earth; the extreme refers to respecting the saints; the talisman refers to the spirit and soul; the discerner refers to the heart. Ye; dagger means food; cauldron means transformation; preparation means material; medicine means miscellaneous treatment.

Ge Hong read this sutra, "It's as cool as if you are flying on leaves, floating in the confusion of heaven and earth; as vast as walking on a horizontal stick, and floating in the vast desert of heaven and earth. It is as if you are living in a golden rooster, and as dense as if you are holding ghosts and gods. The seal is as fleeting as a flying crane, as angry as a fighting tiger. It is as clear as the blue of a bath, and as miserable as the red of a dream. The way to escape is as chaotic as the truth, and the alchemists cannot reach it. The ancient Confucians have never said that it can be looked up to but cannot be reached. You can play with it but not hold on to it, you can learn from it but not think about it, you can follow it but not in words."

Because Yin Xi was revered as Wenshi Zhenzhen, "Guan Yinzi" was also regarded as "Wenshi Zhenjing", and was regarded as a subtle Taoist classic, comparable to the Confucian "Yi" and the Buddhist "Lengjia".
