Chapter 36 Three Mountains and Five Lakes (1)
Don’t underestimate the two code words Zou Yi just said, this is a big deal.
"Three Tea Mountains on the Three Tea Mountains, and the Five Lakes at the bottom of the Five Lakes" The three Tea Mountains here refer to the three fairy mountains, Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhou. It is said that all immortals live on these three fairy mountains, and those who can reach the three fairy mountains can obtain immortal medicines and live with the same life as the heaven and earth. The five lakes refer to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust. Confucianism also calls them "Five Constant Permanences". These five constants are the qualities that saints should possess. Later, the so-called "all brothers in the five lakes" means that only by having the qualities among the five lakes can one become brothers.
"You please take a seat, Master."
After entering the inner hall, the shopkeeper seemed more and more respectful.
Zou Yi shook his head and said, "Sit down slowly. Let's talk about which brother you are from."
The shopkeeper first signaled the clerk to close the door of the inner hall, and then said, "The little one is Wei, his name is Donglin, and his ancestors were brothers from Xinhu. Because when the Japanese invaded China, I don't know how to leak the news of the five-colored glass lotus cup, which attracted the Japanese army to search everywhere. This small teahouse is the family business of his ancestors, and even the brothers in the Five Lakes did not know, so the villain and his family have been living in seclusion here for more than half a century."
"Oh, it turns out that the five-colored glass lotus cup finally fell into the hands of the Xinhu brothers. No wonder they can keep it to this day," Zou Yishen nodded with approval.
Trust is trust. This word originally represents integrity and trustworthiness. Those who can be selected into Xinhu must meet this condition and be able to stay in this five-colored glass lotus cup for more than half a century, and the weight of the word "Talk" can also be seen.
"Since that's the case, why didn't you return to the Five Lakes after liberation?" Zou Yi still had a hint of doubt in his heart.
Wei Donglin said bitterly: "It's not that the young man doesn't want to return to Wuhu Lakes, but the ancestor of the family was hit by Japanese bullets during that escape. When he left, he only had time to leave what you said just now. Wuhu knew about the three mountains and five lakes, but he didn't know where to look for it."
Zou Yi nodded, and felt full of doubts, saying, "That's no wonder you, but the brothers from Wuhu owed you a lot in the Wei family over the years."
"I dare not. As a junior in Xinhu, I should have kept my faith and righteousness. This is also the ancestral teaching of our Wei family." Wei Donglin hurriedly explained.
Zou Yi smiled and admitted the other party's identity and said, "This five-color glass lotus cup should be placed here with you. Don't make any public statements. Now is a peaceful era, so no one will take it back in the name of the country. No matter how you say this object is a legendary sacred object, and you can't just take it away. As for the return to the Five Lakes, if you have time, you can go to Suzhou and find the Three Saints Society, and you will say that it was Zou Yi who asked you to go."
Hearing this, Wei Donglin's old face flushed excitedly. He waved his hand and called the guy who had been standing by the side, and knelt down on the ground, saying tremblingly: "Thank you, Mr., for helping the villain's family fulfill the wish of his ancestors, otherwise the villain would have no shame to visit the ancestors when he got down."
"I wonder which brick is sitting in the school?" Wei Donglin asked carefully.
But Zou Yi slowly sat on the upper seat in the inner hall and said with a smile: "The teacher is sitting on the third level. Which brick do you think I am sitting on?"
This scared Wei Donglin. The third level was the position where the third division of heaven, earth and man in the academy was qualified to sit. At that time, no one could sit on these three bricks. I didn't expect that the young man's teacher in front of me had such a big background.
In fact, this brick means the same step. When the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy was first created, there were no current book chairs and desks. A stone platform was set up randomly. There were nine steps in the stone platform, and each step represented the identity of the lecturer. At the third level, they represented the "Heaven Master", "Earth Master" and "Man Master".
Speaking of the origin of the third level, we have to talk about the Three Emperors in the legendary human beings, Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong. It is said that after the founding of the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy, the three people sat on these three steps to give a lesson. As for the position they sat, it also represented the identity of these three people.
Fuxi sat on the stairs of the Heavenly Master, Nuwa sat on the stairs of the Earthly Master, and Shennong sat on the stairs of the Human Master. At this point, these three steps are called the third level of heaven, earth and man. All those who can sit on the third level in history are powerful people.
Even such a person like Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi only sat on the stairs of a master. You can imagine the meaning represented by the third level. Asking this question was already considered to have promoted Zou Yi, but he didn't expect that he could have imagined the surprise that he had led to such a big man.
"I wonder if the villain has this opportunity to listen to the teachings of the immortal master?" Wei Donglin said with anticipation.
Zou Yi shook his head and said, "My teacher has lived in seclusion and does not like outsiders to disturb him. I think it's better to forget it."
Wei Donglin was not angry when he said this. After all, it was a blessing to meet a person like this. If he couldn't see him, he was just not lucky enough.
Zou Yi would have a relationship with the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy. He also started with the old Taoist Jia Songtang. After being secretly sent away by Jia's father, he did not hide in the mountains and forests, but changed his name to Yi and continued to wander in the secular world. He did his old business of saving the world with moss, walked in the alley roads covered with moss, entered the one-sided door of the Buyi Guishou, and ate a hundred families of food, drinking and drinking. Although life was bitter at that time, it had the taste of making fun of bitterness.
One day, the old Taoist sat on the street to see a doctor, but he didn't know that an old man had been observing him for a long time. When he closed his stall and was about to go back to the ruined temple to rest, the old man stepped forward and started chatting with the old Taoist. After saying something, the two felt that they had met very late. When they returned to the ruined temple, it was another night of candle-like talk. Finally, the old man made a decision and introduced the old Taoist to the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy. In this way, with his superb medical skills and a clear view of the world, the old Taoist quickly became famous and qualified to sit on the steps to teach.
After the old man passed away, the old Taoist also saw through the ups and downs of the world and resolutely left the academy. It was not until Zou Yi went out to practice this time, in order to increase his knowledge of his disciples, that he returned to the academy again. After sending a famous post, the three words Jia Songtang caused a sensation in the entire academy. Those disciples from the academy who were thousands of miles away rushed to pay their respects. Not to mention how rich his knowledge was, his generation was worthy of their respect, and he directly regarded it as a teacher.
In desperation, the old Taoist climbed up the stairs directly, but did not dare to sit on the stairs. Instead, he walked down the floor and taught for three days in a row. During these three days, Zou Yi was also relieved and happy to listen to the old Taoist, and looked at the Three Mountains and Five Lakes Academy a little more differently.
