Wu Meiniang's classic story

It took about a few months to send Song Dao out of Chang'an on August 15th of that year. It has been [-] years since Taizong sent Song Dao out of the city that year, and ordered all the officials and workers to build the moon-watching tower. Taizong came here every year. , The purpose is to wait for Song Dao to return from seeking the Taoist scriptures, so that the Taoist scriptures above can be passed on to the world, so that the people all over the world can learn Taoist knowledge.

It just so happened that today Emperor Taizong had time after he had finished approving the memorial, so he went out of the palace to observe the second floor of the Moon Watching Tower. On that day, he drove back to the upstairs, and suddenly he saw the golden light in the sky, the spring breeze, and the eight gods stopped. He shouted in the air: "The holy way has already resisted Chang'an. We can't go down because we are gods and cannot be seen by mortals. The three of Chen Wuxin are also not allowed to go. Please ask the holy way to pass on the Taoist scriptures. After the Taoist scriptures are finished You can return after that, and I will wait in the air. After the matter is completed, I will return to the northern Tianling Holy Mountain with you.

Wuxin said: "Iori's words are wrong. Master Song is on the mortal platform, how to go down to preach?? How to bring this dragon and bull down to the world? We must protect the safety of the master. You just wait in the air. Iori said: I am afraid Four Precepts’ gluttony has missed a big deal. Wu Xin: Don’t worry about Iori, I will watch over Four Precepts and prevent him from greedy for food. Once the Daoist scriptures are passed on to the Tang Dynasty, I will come back immediately.”

Sijie said: "Brother Hu is enlightened, and I hope to be enlightened. There is no reason to be greedy for delicious food! You wait for Mao God! You are waiting for my Four Precepts, and I will return to you immediately after handing over the Taoism scriptures. There will be no delay." Four Precepts Carrying the burden, Yu Daoist led the ox, and Wu Xin led the holy way, they all pressed down the cloud heads and landed on the side of Wangyue Wangtianlou. □□After meeting with many generals and officials, they went downstairs to greet each other and said, "Your righteous brother is here?" Song Dao kowtowed and bowed down. Who is it?" Song Dao said, "It's the Taoist disciples we picked up on the way." Taizong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his personal bodyguard: "I will borrow my imperial horse for the time being, please get on the horse, and return to the court with me."

Song Dao thanked him, and rode on the imperial horse, followed closely by Wu Xinlun Ruyi's golden light gun, Sijie and Yu Taoist supported the horse to carry the burden, and then drove into Chang'an together.

The four members of the Song and Daoist groups entered the court with them, and everyone in Chang'an did not know that it was the return of those who had sought the Taoist scriptures.But the Daoists of Jinfu Taoist Temple where Song Dao used to live in Chang'an saw a few poplar trees with male heads and said in surprise: "It's strange! It's strange! There is no wind tonight, so how come the heads of these trees have turned around? "

An old disciple of Song Dao inside said: "Bring the clothes quickly! The teacher who seeks the Tao is here!" The little Taoists asked: "Why?"

The old disciple said: "When the master went away, there was a saying: 'After I go, it may be three or six years, or seven or eight years, but if the branches of the poplar are facing east, I will return." My master said , so I know it." He hurried out with his clothes on, and when he arrived at West Street, someone had already spread the word: "The people who seek the Tao have just arrived, and Grandpa Taizong has come into the city." When all the small roads heard about it, they came in a hurry again, but Just met him, and when he saw Dajia, he didn't dare to approach, and then followed outside the Chaomen.Song Dao dismounted and entered the court with all the people.Song Dao stood under the jade steps with the dragon ox and the Taoist scriptures, together with Wuxin, Sijie, and Yu Taoist.

Taizong preached: "The righteous brother goes to the hall." After giving him a seat, Song Dao thanked him and sat down again, and taught him to carry the scriptures.Wu Xin and others took it out, and the near servant passed it on.Taizong asked again: "How many scriptures? How did you get them?"

Song Dao said: "When the minister arrived at Tianling Baoshan, he saw the Dao. The two venerables Mengcha Jinjia and Yinjia first led him to the Taoist building to give food, and then to the Baoge to preach. The Taoist boy needs to ask for personnel, because he has not prepared any. He didn’t send him off, so he gave it to him. When Xie Daozu’s kindness went eastward, he was suddenly snatched by the magic wind. Fortunately, the young disciple had some supernatural powers to chase him away, but he threw it away lazily. Because of the exhibition, there are no words Road book.

The minister waited to be surprised, and then went to pray and plead, Taoist ancestor said: "When this scripture was accomplished, there was a Tianqiu holy way down the mountain and the elder Zhao's house in Shewei country to read and recite it again, to ensure the safety of the living in his family and the death of the deceased. Just begging him for three buckets and three liters of rice grains of gold, which means that it is too cheap, and later children and grandchildren have no money to use it. "We knew that the Erdaotong needed to ask for personnel. The Taoist ancestor knew that, so he had to give him the golden bowl given by the emperor, so that he could pass on the scriptures with words.

There are 35 volumes of this Sutra, and several volumes have been retrieved from each volume, totaling more than 98 volumes, which are combined into one collection. "Taizong was more pleased, and taught: "Guanglu Temple has a banquet, and the East Pavilion will be rewarded. "Suddenly seeing his three disciples standing at the bottom of the steps, with unusual appearance, he asked: "Gao Tuguo is a member of the Kingdom of God?" "

The Taoist master prostrated himself and said, "My disciple's surname is Chen, and his Dharma name is Wuxin. I also call him Chen Lingsheng. He was originally from the Linglian Cave of Tianguo Mountain, Tianlai Kingdom, in the Eastern Divine Region. The Taoist ancestor was trapped in the Yangxin Mountain. He was persuaded by the merciful Taoist ancestor Daozu and was willing to convert to Taoism. The minister went to ask the Taoist ancestor to rescue him. It is very thanks to this disciple's protection. The second apprentice's surname is wolf, and his Dharma name is Wuli. The minister also called him The Four Precepts of the Wolf. He was originally from the Tianyun Cave of Langyun Mountain. Because of mischief in Qian Laozhuang, he was persuaded by Taoist ancestors to be good, and those who lost their spirits were accepted.

The third apprentice's surname is Yu, and his Dharma name is Wushui. The minister also called him Yu Daoist.He was originally born in a stinky soil, but he was also persuaded by a compassionate Taoist to do good, and he returned to the Taoist school.The cow was not given by the Lord. " Taizong said: "The pornography is the same, why not?" "

Song Dao said: "I went to Longpan Mountain to wade in the Tianchou Stream, and the original cow was swallowed by this cow. The loser asked the Taoist to ask the origin of the cow. It was the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Because of his guilt, the Taoist rescued him and taught him It is the foot strength of the minister. At that time, it was transformed into a dragon and an ox, and the hair was the same. Fortunately, he climbed mountains and ridges, trekked rough, and when he went, he rode a seat, and when he came, he carried scriptures, and he also relied on his strength."

Taizong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked again: "How far is the journey for my righteous brother to go out of Chang'an and go to the Tianling Holy Mountain in the western god area to seek Taoism?"

Song Dao said: "I always remember the words of the Taoist ancestor, which is 18 miles away. I didn't count them on the way. I only know that I went out of Chang'an and went west for more than a dozen times of cold and heat. Every day the mountains, every day, the forest, the mountains are endless. It’s small, but wide enough to meet the sea. It has passed through many dynasties, and all of them have their seals.”

Call: "Apprentice, take the customs clearance certificate and pay it to Your Majesty." Pass it to Taizong.Taizong saw it and was very happy. "

There are seals of Heavenly Treasure, Black Goose, Jade Kingdom, Beiliang Nvguo, Buddha Extermination, Tianzi, Eagle and Lion, Tianqiu, and Miyu. County seal, Feilong state seal, Jindaofu seal.After Taizong read it, he accepted it.

Taizong said again: "I don't know how about a younger brother who will recite the scriptures with him?" The Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty, if you want to perform the Taoist scriptures, you must find the place of Taoism. The treasure hall is not a place where you can recite." Driver: "Chang'an Taoist temple, which Taoist temple is pure?"

In the class, Li Shi, a senior scholar, flashed up and said: "There is a Taoist temple with a golden heart in the city that is pure." Taizong immediately ordered many officials: "Bring a few volumes of the Taoist scriptures, and go to the Jinfu Taoist temple with me, and ask the righteous brother to preach." The officials held each of them in their hands, and followed Taizong to watch, and built a high platform and laid it neatly.

Song Dao still ordered: "Sijie Yu Taoist leads the ox cart, arranges luggage, and Wu Xin is by his side to protect." Then he said to Taizong: "Your Majesty allows the creation of a new Taoist temple, the establishment of a new library, and then put the Taoist scriptures into the library. In the pavilion, it will be announced to the world later that if you want to learn the Taoist scriptures above, you need to enter the new Taoist temple to cultivate your mind for three years. If you meet the qualifications, you can learn the Tao. If you don’t meet the qualifications, you can leave. Continue to revise." Taizong said with great joy: "Your righteous brother's words are very good! Very good!" He called the officials of the Imperial Academy and the Zhongshu Department to write the scriptures.Later, I found someone to build a Taoist temple in the east of the city, called Tianling Temple.

The Taoist priest held several scrolls on the stage, and Fang wanted to recite satirically. Suddenly, he saw the splendor of spring, and eight gods appeared in midair and shouted: "Give me the Taoist scriptures, put down the Taoist scriptures, and follow me back to the north." People, even the white cow rose from the ground, and the Taoist priest also put down the Taoist scriptures, and also rose from the platform to the sky, and followed them into the sky, so panicked that Taizong and many officials bowed down to the sky.This is exactly: the Holy Way worked hard to get the scriptures, and Xiyu went around for 15 years.

But it is said that the eight great gods, driving the spring clouds, led the Taoist priests and the four people to rush on the road, return to Baoshan, and fly back and forth, which is suitable within seven days.At this time, all the immortals in the Taoist Temple of Tianling Holy Mountain in the west listened to the Taoism in front of Tianbao Taoist.

The Eight Heavenly Gods led the four of them in, and said to the Taoist ancestor: "The disciples have followed the decree of the law and sent the holy way, etc., and have arrived in the Tang Dynasty. They have handed over all the scriptures of the Tao, and now they have specially paid the decree."

The Taoist ancestor of Tianbao, also known as Tianbao Taoist, said: "Song Dao, you were my disciple in the previous life, and your name was Jin Tongzi. Because you didn't listen to the Tao, and despised my Taoism, you demoted your Taoist body and reincarnated in the Tang Dynasty. Today, I am happy. Returning, congratulations from Dao, and taking advantage of my teaching to take away the Dao scriptures, which has made great contributions. I will confer you a great post as an immortal body, and you will be a Taoist of Jinling.

Chen Wuxin, because you disturbed the Three Realms, I suppressed you under Yangxin Mountain with my non-strong magic power. Fortunately, my guilt has disappeared and I returned to my way. I also know that you have punished evil and promoted good. The body of a great immortal, you are a Taoist of Tianyou.

The Four Precepts of the Wolf, you are the god of war in the heavens, the general Sirius, who drunkenly played Nine Heavens Xuannv at the Yucai Party for you, and demoted you to reincarnate in the mortal world, with a body like a wolf. Wait, sincerely cultivate the Tao, you entered my way, and the way of protecting the saints is on the way. Although you have made contributions, your wolf heart is hard to change. Because of your meritorious service in eliminating demons, I will confer you a small post of immortal body and become the god of the world. "Sijie yelled: "They are all enlightened, why do you want me to be a small god in the individual world?" "

Tianbao Daozu said: "Because the wolf's mouth is amazing and its appetite is very large. Covering the four major gods in the world, there are many people who admire my way. I will teach you to understand everything about preaching. This is a very good position. Why not!

Yu Taoist, you were originally a general protecting the Dharma of the heavens. First, you were demoted to the lower world because you smashed the celestial lamp at the Yucai Festival. You have meritorious service in pulling the unicorn in the west, and I will grant you a great post as a fairy body, and you will be a goldfish Taoist. "

He also called the white bull: "Ru Ben
