Chapter 139 1 Read Heaven 1 Read Hell
This is the Qing Dynasty scholar Yang Yuting (drawing a tiger into a cat). After searching the history books, he only found one person who used "Yuting" as his nickname in the Qing Dynasty. This person's name is Yang Xuepei, a native of Dilou Village, Zhongling Township, Jinping County, Guizhou. Miao ethnic group. Born in At the end of Qianlong's reign, during the Jiaqing period. Although it feels a little inconsistent with what Mr. Ji Xiaolan recorded, I really can't find anyone else. I hope you readers can correct me!) A story told by Mr.
It is said that there was a carpenter in Dengzhou (now Yantai City, Shandong Province) and Laizhou (now Yecheng, Laizhou City, Shandong Province).
When the story happened, his son was already fourteen or fifteen years old and studying in a school. The child is very handsome and smart.
One day, the carpenter's son came home alone after school.
He met a strange Taoist priest on the road. After seeing him, he suddenly chanted a spell to him.
As soon as he heard this incantation, he suddenly felt drowsy, his feet couldn't obey the orders, and he couldn't help but follow the Taoist priest.
After walking for who knows how long, the two came to a thatched house in a mountain col.
The Taoist priest seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he led the boy directly into the house, and then recited a spell to him.
At this time, the carpenter's son came to his senses. Although he knew very well in his heart, his mouth could not speak and his limbs could not move.
The Taoist priest continued to chant the incantation.
What surprised the carpenter's son was that all his clothes fell off automatically following the spell.
The Taoist priest smiled and helped him lie down on the bed. He kept stroking him up and down with his hands, looking very affectionate, and teasing him with dirty words.
After a while, the Taoist priest took off his clothes and exposed his lower body. Just when he was about to approach him, he suddenly sat up again and said to himself: "I have worked hard to practice Taoism, and I have already achieved a lot." After more than two hundred years of practicing Taoism, should this boy be easily ruined just because he was born beautiful?"
The Taoist priest pondered for a long time, then reluctantly lay down next to the boy, playing with and admiring the boy's whole body.
After a while, the Taoist priest seemed to have made up his mind and said with emotion: "Such a handsome boy is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Even if my Taoism is ruined, it will only be another two hundred years of practice. What is there to regret?" of!"
So, the Taoist priest suddenly stood up and pushed hard. Looking at the situation at that time, it seemed that it was absolutely impossible for the boy to escape and be raped.
Just when there was no need to delay, the Taoist priest suddenly stopped again, turned around, forced himself not to look at the boy's body, and murmured to himself: "Two hundred years of hard training is really too much." It’s so easy!”
After saying that, he jumped out of bed and stood there motionless as if stunned.
After a while, the Taoist priest suddenly started running around the house, like a stone mill spinning.
Suddenly, he saw the dagger hanging on the wall. Without saying a word, he ran over, pulled it out, and stabbed his arm directly.
Suddenly, the blood from the wound gushes out like spring water.
The Taoist priest calmly threw away the dagger, then pinched the wound on his left arm with his right hand, holding back the pain, grinning and leaning against the wall, groaning.
In this way, after about a meal, the Taoist priest felt that the pain was relieved.
He said to the carpenter's son: "You were almost dead just now, and so was I! Fortunately, I controlled myself in time! We are both fine now!"
After he finished speaking, he recited the incantation to the carpenter's son.
The boy immediately felt as if the ropes on his body were untied and his limbs and body could move.
He hurriedly got up from the bed and put on his clothes.
The Taoist priest stopped talking, took him outside, and then showed him the way home.
Immediately afterwards, he recited an unknown incantation, and suddenly a burst of flame came out of his mouth, setting the thatched cottage on fire.
In an instant, the Taoist priest disappeared. I don’t know if he is a monster or a god!
Most people who have heard Yang Yuting's story think that the origin of the Taoist priest is unknown.
But one person had a different perspective. he thinks:
This Taoist priest is definitely not a monster!
If they were monsters, they would definitely not worry so much about any adulterous behavior!
And this Taoist priest may have been practicing the Taoist art of fetal breath in the deep mountains and forests all year round, and has been abstinent for many years. If you accidentally see a handsome person, you will inevitably have a misunderstanding and evil thoughts will arise in your heart.
Fortunately, he had practiced Taoism for many years and his Taoist magic power was quite deep. Therefore, when he had demonic obstacles in his heart, he could be confused and wake up for a while, and finally reined in the precipice without making a big mistake!
Laozi said: If you don't see what you want, your mind will not be confused; if you already see it, it will be confused, and you won't be able to understand it without great wisdom, and you won't be able to cut it without great supernatural power.
The meaning of this passage from Lao Tzu is: When people don’t see anything that can arouse their desires, they can still control their minds and not be disturbed!
And once you have seen those things and your mind has been disturbed, then if you are not a person with extraordinary wisdom, you will not be able to suddenly wake up; if you are not a person with extraordinary courage and strength, you will not be able to endure the pain and give up!
This Taoist priest was able to make a resolute decision to control his lust by hurting himself and causing pain when his desire was extremely strong and the situation had developed into an unstoppable situation!
This can simply be said to be that in the midst of the calamity of going to hell, you have accumulated the merit to go to heaven!
The Taoist priest's behavior of being able to change his mind in a timely manner at a critical moment is worth learning from. As for the things that happened out of lust before, you don't have to worry about him!
Appendix: "Poetry of the Four Seasons" written by Yang Yuting
Spring is here, the weather is mild, scholars should not waste time.
In spring, you must read early and diligently, as a hundred years is the easiest time to pass.
If you don’t see me, the sun will fly by, and gold can’t buy young people and peace.
When the wind comes, it reaches Tengwang Pavilion and jumps over the dragon gate to the Dingdu Branch.
Summer has arrived, the sun is getting longer, and the green pines and willows reflect the book hall.
Open the window so you can practice writing, and the breeze will bring you coolness.
Don’t you see, the day goes by and my clothes are wet with sweat like rain.
I came back late from a trip to the Yangtze River and stayed in bed all night.
Autumn is here, the weather is cool, I read articles carefully under the lamp.
The three-year competition opens the gold list, so that talents can enter the examination room.
Don’t you see, I see the fragrance of osmanthus in Guanghan Palace on the August River.
Hurry and work hard to get the first fragrance of Qionghua.
Winter has arrived, the weather is cold, and the commoner alleys are full of people.
If you are poor, don't lament that you have no achievements. You are patient when you reflect the sun and the fireflies in your pocket.
Don’t you see, the sun is going round, so what’s the difficulty in going to Tailai?
A man wants to carry out his life affairs so that he can show his palace flowers to the world.
