Chapter 0023 The Story of the Dragon Country, Bodhisattva or Immortal

The proverb says: "With a mind but no form, the appearance will arise after the mind; if there is a form but no mind, the appearance will be destroyed by the mind." This sentence shows that a person's appearance will change with his thoughts of good and evil.

Even if a person has a vicious face now, he often feels compassionate, and the evil face will soon be transformed into auspicious face. On the other hand, even if he is full of blessings, if he does not know how to do good and accumulate virtue and often has the thoughts of greed and hatred, the blessing will gradually disappear. Therefore, the mind is the hub of the facial face, and it is better to look at the mind than to look at the face.

The famous story about cause and effect, and heart-like appearance, the long-standing history of Pei Du of the Tang Dynasty, a prime minister.

Pei Du, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, was thin and small before he became famous, and his appearance was not valuable enough. He suffered many setbacks in the field of fame and fortune. Even he himself was confused.

There was a man from Luozhong who was very respected by high-ranking officials.

Pei Du made a special visit to him, and the man who met him said, "The appearance and spirit of the man is slightly different from that of ordinary people, and the book does not describe him. If the man cannot develop and becomes noble, he will starve to death. However, now, I can't see any special things that can develop and become noble. You can come to visit again and don't despise coarse vegetables. I'll take a closer look for you after ten days."

After Pei Du agreed, he went there several times, but because there was a guest who met the husband, he had to visit Xiangshan Temple first. When Pei Du was wandering between the corridor and the side room, he suddenly saw a woman wearing plain clothes, putting a bag made of yellow yellow cloak on the railings of the temple. After praying for a long time, he threw a lot of water to ask for good luck, kowtowed and bowed to him and left.

After a while, Pei Du saw that the bag was still in its original place. He knew that the woman had forgotten it and it was too late to chase her and give it to her. Pei Du found that the woman would definitely come again, so he put away the bag. But after waiting, when the sun set and the woman was not yet seen, Pei Du had to take the bag back to his residence.

The next morning, I went to the old place with my bag. As soon as the temple gate opened, I saw the woman who rushed over yesterday, confused and sighed regretfully, as if there was something unexpected. Pei Du followed her and asked her what was wrong.

The woman said, "My father was detained without guilt. Yesterday, I asked the noble man to give me two jade belts and a rhino belt. It was worth more than a thousand strings of money. I planned to use it to bribe the person in charge. Unfortunately, I lost it here and my old father was about to have a disaster." Pei Du felt pity for her and asked her about the color of the thing. When they were right, they gave it back to her. The woman cried and thanked her and asked Pei Du to leave one, but Pei Du left without looking back.

Soon, he went to Mr. Xiangmeng. After careful examination, his face changed suddenly and he exclaimed: "This kind of facial expression must be because you have good deeds and your future is limitless, which is not something I can know." After repeated questioning, Pei Du told him what happened a few days ago. The gentleman was very moved and said that this was the result of Yin's accumulation of good deeds.

That year, Pei Du passed the Jinshi exam. Due to his successful career, more than ten years later, he was promoted to "Boban Grand Secretary" (equivalent to today's vice president of the university), and soon he was promoted to prime minister.

His promotion to prime minister was very tortuous: Pei Du initially took the orders of the court and went to Caizhou to issue government orders to the army. After returning to the court, Pei Du submitted a letter to the court to attack the rebels.

Rebels such as Wang Chengzong and Li Shidao planned to block the reinforcements in Caizhou, so they secretly lurked the capital, stabbed the important officials who held great power to death, and first killed Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng, and their next target was Pei Du.

They attacked Pei Du with swords three times. The first sword cut off the shoelaces, the second sword stabbed Pei Du's back, but only scratched his underwear. The third sword slightly stabbed Pei Du's head. He happened to have a felt hat, so the sword was not injured deeply. Just as the traitor was chasing Pei Du, Pei Du's follower Wang Yi grabbed the traitor and called. The traitor turned around and cut off Wang Yi's hand with a knife, so Pei Du could escape. Because Pei Du was too hasty to escape, he accidentally fell into the gully. The traitor thought Pei Du was dead, so he left and left. Pei Du survived.

The emperor said: "Pei Du was able to escape danger because it was God's will (actually his blessing)!" So he ordered Pei Du to be the "Huaixi recruitment envoy", and to quell the civil strife in Huaixi, and named him "Duke of Jin", and was often ordered to go to the border countries.

The chief of the Four Barbarians at that time would definitely ask Pei Du about his age and appearance, which shows how awe and admire him in the Long Kingdom and the Yi tribe! Pei Du served the four emperors and always showed good moral character.

He had five sons, and they were all given titles by the court.

Why did Pei Du's jade belt turn shorter life into longevity, poverty and humbleness into wealth, and gain such great blessings? Because the difference between a gentleman and a villain lies in greed. Pei Du's heart is relatively pure, not only indifferent to the valuables lost by others, but he can also ignore even the problems of life and death.

Pei Du has a broad mind, so his blessings are also great. If he really returns other people's relics and is always glad that he has good virtues and even hypes people up to others, then the blessings he gets will be slightly less.

From a psychological perspective, everyone's face reflects their corresponding physical and psychological states. For example, a person who is healthy and happy in physical education is usually full of heaven, red and full of faces, and full of spirits. On the contrary, a person who is sick or distressed or worried is usually full of sorrow and frowns, which is mostly difficult to do things that suit. The eye is the realm of the mind, and the face is the realm of the mind, and this is the realm of the mind.

Of course, Cui Ning has his own understanding and view of metaphysics, cause and effect and religion.

Cause and effect are not only in action, but also in the heart, in "being virtuous and carrying things" and "being cautious in words and actions", in "knowing what is happening" and also in "knowing the clarity of oneself".

From a probability perspective and a scientific perspective, if 9999999% of people in a society are doing good deeds, good deeds and obeying social order and public morality, any of us will also become the beneficiaries, including being naturally affected and restricted, and becoming a person who abides by order and public morality.

On the contrary, if 9999999% of people are trampling on rules and hurting others, each of us will easily become victims and then continue to form a vicious cycle. This is the simplest sociological explanation of cause and effect.

Of course, Cui Ning understood more about why religion encourages people to be good. First of all, this is the foundation of religion, because religion also needs to adapt to society and the times, especially in ancient times, the age of cold weapons, and in ancient times without modern science, religion actually served as sociological education in that era, as well as human awe and exploration of nature.

Everyone, every thought and behavior, is actually a wing of the "butterfly effect" of nature and the universe. The ultimate storm will affect everyone and bring different destinies. In fact, it is because the universe itself has strict "spiritual laws and rules", not random, nor accidental. Science, philosophy and metaphysics (theology), are not contradictory, but modern science will only take ten thousand years to continue to improve.

Before modern medicine and surgery were improved, people thought that Hua Tuo’s story was a legend, but it was later proved that Hua Tuo was a real miracle doctor. More than a thousand years ago, he mastered the techniques of anesthesiology, pharmacology and surgery. He was like Wang Mang, and he was simply a "time traveler".

As for the theory of equality, if a person often smiles or has a peaceful face, in sociology, in dealing with people, workplace and family environment, he will naturally adapt and face the environment better, gain friendship and trust, including bringing good luck.

If a person is frowning all day long, hateful or absent-minded, he is destined not to be trusted, recognized and blessed, and can only live in pessimism and helplessness and become the so-called "loser". According to the tradition of the Dragon Kingdom, it is "bad life".

As for the ancient legends of "turning stones into gold", "calling wind and rain" and "spreading beans into soldiers", they are actually things that science needs to develop to the level of particles (quarks). However, in this era, "particles are God's business", scientists are still in the Stone Age of human science.

After a day, Cui Ning read through the book that Master Zonghui gave him and then put it up.

As for the "slicing of raw and cooked fish" given to him by Master Zonghui, holding it in his hand, Cui Ning felt the enormous energy of life. He held it as if he was struggling whale. Cui Ning had no doubt that it was a living fish.

"Big Fish?" Suddenly, Cui Ning heard another sound he had heard, which was the light in his body, now entrenched below his navel, like a little golden dragon, who had been sleeping on the way back to Lingzhou.

"Are you awake?" Cui Ning tried to communicate with "Little Golden Dragon".

"Big Fish, Big Fish" Little Jinlong did not answer Cui Ning's words, and repeated the simple words "Thank you"

"You're welcome" Cui Ning communicated with "Little Golden Dragon" silently, "Who are you?"

"I am a little dragon" sounds very tender. "You can call me a little dragon, but I used to be a snake, but now I am a little dragon, a little dragon that has been struck by lightning for four hundred years."

"Then are you still alive?" Cui Ning also asked.

"Of course, I'm still alive, why don't I talk to you, but now I can't live without your body. I need rest and then I can restore my magical powers," Xiaolong said.

"What are your magical powers? Do you need me to do something for you?" Cui Ning continued to ask.

Xiaolong said proudly: "I am a dragon, and I naturally have great magical powers, but now it doesn't seem like it used to be. There are many things missing between heaven and earth, and I don't know either. But, if you have anything you don't know, you can ask me."

"Then how can you get out of my body?"

"This... I don't know. If you leave your body, you will probably continue to be struck by lightning. Then, I need to replenish your energy, but I can also help you, because I know a lot of things, including helping you avoid misfortune," Xiaolong replied.

"Then please help me calculate where my parents are?" Cui Ning asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Oh, then I'll see... No, there's a layer of fog, oh, so tired, I'm going to rest, goodbye!"

Cui Ning felt that this little thing was a bit unreliable, but his body has been unusual since childhood, so it doesn’t matter if there is one little thing.

However, my body was originally a black hole that could not be filled, and now there was another guy who ate energy. In the future, he could only absorb more energy. However, it seemed that he was struck by lightning, and the little dragon in his body was not affected, as if his body had become an energy converter.
