Chapter 119 Crane resists car
According to legend, during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a tribute named Fang Qiting, whose name was Qiuyi and whose courtesy name was Lechao. Originally from Anhui.
Back then, when he was serving as a county magistrate somewhere in Jiangxi, one of his colleagues at that time was named Guo, who was from Sichuan.
One day, everyone was sitting around chatting, and Fang Qiting suggested that if anyone had a legendary experience, he could tell it for everyone to listen to.
Guo said that he could tell a strange incident that he had personally experienced for everyone to enjoy after dinner.
Under Fang Qiting's instructions and with everyone's expectant eyes, Guo Mou spoke eloquently.
It turns out that when Guo was young, he was tired of the worldly world and wanted to become a monk and practice Taoism, hoping to become an immortal.
So, he went around looking for teachers and friends, hoping to become a teacher by the legendary immortal.
On this day, he came to Mount Emei. When he was climbing up the mountain, he suddenly saw an old man with a long beard and a very handsome appearance. He wore a feather scarf on his head. He looked like a fairy in a painting, floating in the air. Looking at him from the front.
Guo was overjoyed and felt that his sincerity had finally moved the gods and was willing to meet him.
He quickly stepped forward to bow and salute, earnestly expressed his desire to learn Taoism and become an immortal, and asked the old man to accept him as his disciple.
The old man did not agree immediately, but said lightly: "Come with me!"
Then he led the way, leading Guo Mou all the way forward.
There is no sun or moon in the mountains. The two walked for who knows how long, and finally came to a place.
Guo looked up and saw a palace in front of him. It was very majestic and majestic, like a place where an emperor lived.
The old man pointed to the palace and said to Guo: "This is the palace of our king! If you want to learn Taoism, you can't do it without the king's order!"
Guo hurriedly said respectfully: "Then please trouble me, old man, and take me in to see the king!"
The old man said: "I see that you are sincere, so I brought you here to see the king. However, the king has gone out and has not come back yet. Please be patient and wait patiently!"
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of beautiful fairy music coming from a distance, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance that hit my nostrils.
Guo looked up and saw two cranes in the sky, carrying a crystal car together.
The old man told him that the king was back and that he was sitting in the car.
Guo was very surprised. Because the man in the car looks completely different from the king in the world, but he looks very much like the sweet boy in the paintings in the world.
I saw that the man was less than a foot long, his body was as white as jade, he was wearing red clothes, and he was laughing.
At this time, many gods and men bowed to the ground and welcomed the king into the palace.
The old man asked Guo to wait outside, then walked into the main hall and reported to the king: "There is a Guo who sincerely studies Taoism. He is now outside the hall asking for an audience."
The king ordered people to lead Guo into the main hall.
Staring at Guo, he looked up and down for a long time, and then said: "This person has no talent for cultivating immortals! Send him back to the human world as soon as possible!"
The old man quickly put Guo under his arm and took him down, and then put him down outside the palace.
Guo asked curiously: "Why is the king so young?"
The old man smiled and said: "Being an immortal, a saint, or a Buddha, until you succeed in cultivation, you will still look like a baby. Haven't you heard that Confucius is also a scholarly boy and a Bodhisattva?"
Mencius once said: "A great man should never lose his innocence!" ‘Actually, our king is already fifty thousand years old! "
Guo repeatedly begged the old man to accept him and learn Taoism.
The old man firmly refused.
In desperation, Guo had no choice but to go down the mountain.
After returning home, he studied hard, and later passed the imperial examination and became an official, and then he and Fang Qiting became colleagues.
Guo finally said that he still remembers a couplet written in red letters outside the main hall door:
The viviparous egg is born, moisture is born, and metamorphosis is born, and the birth is endless;
The ways of heaven and earth, the ways of humans and ghosts, are endless.
