Speaking of Lao Tzu riding a green bull to get out of customs, Lu Ming and Xiao Linglong were surprised to find that Lao Yanpi's expression was no longer as easy-going as before, but full of dignity and awe.
The two looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
"Senior, please tell me, you two are all ears." Xiao Linglong said solemnly.
Lu Ming also said calmly: "I am a great realm, I would like to hear about it."
The old pipe did not answer, but stuffed a pipe full of shredded tobacco, then lit it and took a few puffs, and began to leisurely tell the allusion of Lao Tzu riding a green bull out of customs. He spoke very seriously and very well. Detailed, especially the incomparably solemn expression.
Inside the house, Lu Ming and the two were also fascinated.
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, wars continued, and the Emperor of Heaven sent the God of Qingniu to go down to the mortal world to experience the suffering of the people.
After the Qingniu God got the order, he turned into a green ox and visited the world unannounced. He worked every day to see how warm and cold the world was, but day after day he found that the world was unfair.
The poor work every day, and the sun rises and the day goes in, just like an old cow plowing in the field. When the harvest season comes, there is very little to ask for, and they live a life of simple food and drink. On the contrary, those caretakers are big fish every day Big meat, live chicly and happily without working.
Later, Qingniu returned to the heaven and reported the situation truthfully.Qing Niukou stupid did not make it clear that the Emperor of Heaven mistakenly believed that the human world is more than enjoyment. At that time, the big fish and meat will only eat and drink every day, so he ordered that all living beings in the world can only eat one meal for three days!
But the God of Qingniu came to the mortal world again, and couldn't bear the suffering and starvation in the world, so he falsely preached an imperial decree, making mortals eat three meals a day!
Knowing this, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and demoted Qingniu to the mortal world. Since he likes to help people, he has been a slave of people for generations and worked hard for people, becoming one of the tools for farming.
Hearing what Old Yanpi said, Lu Ming and Xiao Linglong were still at a loss. Isn't this going to tell them the allusion of Lao Tzu's exit from customs?
But looking at Lao Yanpi's serious and solemn appearance, Lu Ming and the two never disturbed him, thinking that there must be something to gain from this matter. It is impossible for Lao Yanpi to chat about these useless things, and it is very likely that he can give some advice to people's state of mind.
After all, spiritual recovery and comprehension are popular nowadays, not only relying on talent but also state of mind and understanding.
The two looked at each other silently, sat aside in silence, listened to the old pipe's narration, and finally mentioned Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu was old when he was born, and then he was learned and talented. At that time, those who were talented were called Zi, and his appearance was old, so he was called Lao Tzu.
When Laozi was fourteen or fifteen years old, on a large mountain northeast of Taiqing Palace in Guoyang, there was a middle-aged Qingniu with a group of wives and concubines and a house full of children and grandchildren.But at this time, Qingniu thought that he had worked hard and contributed a lot to others, but he didn't get what he deserved. He gradually became irritable, biting things and eating people when he saw them, and even the lions and tigers had nowhere to hide.
In a short time, the vicinity of the mountain was almost ruined by it.
So far, Qingniu has forgotten his original intention.
One day, Laozi and a classmate went to the lower reaches of Beishan to play together without telling the adults.
Suddenly, with a cry of "moo", a green bull rushed down from the mountain and rushed towards them.When Lao Tzu saw the cow, he was furious and thought: I have heard that this animal does not do good things, disturbs the neighbors, and hurts the people. Today, I must show it a little bit.
So, he yelled to his classmates: "Go, catch it!" As he spoke, he went to meet the cow.
The animals that the cow encountered on weekdays, as long as they were alive, would run away with their lives.
Today, it saw two children not only not running, but running towards it, it felt that something was wrong.But he had to eat the fat in his mouth, so he stared and ran even more fiercely.The cow jumped up and down, came to the front, lowered its head, and jumped up fiercely, trying to kill Lao Tzu and his classmates.
The old man and the old man quickly squatted down, and the cow was jumping over their heads.Seeing the aggressiveness of the bull, Lao Tzu thought to himself: Give it some strength first, and kill its prestige.
Immediately, he bent down to pick up a stone, stood up suddenly, and threw it hard at the cow's buttocks.The cow jumped up and down in pain, and its tail drooped immediately.The green bull didn't care about eating them anymore, and ran up the mountain with its hooves loose.
Seeing that the cow was about to run away, the two of them got even more excited, yelling, and followed the cow up the mountain.
When Old Yanpi talked about this, the man in the yard and Lu Wuyou also came over. The two sat quietly on the pier at the door respectively, and listened with gusto.
The cow ran halfway to the hillside in one breath, got into a big hole and disappeared.Lao Tzu was about to go to the cave to catch it, when suddenly he let out a roar of "moo", which made the hillside tremble.With the sound, a green bull jumped out of the hole.I saw it was twice as big as the cow just now, with a big head, big mouth and big hooves, like a tiger in its stomach, and the two horns on its head stretched forward, which were as long as an arm.
From the looks of it, it is the leading cow in the cow cave.
It jumped out of the cave and stood halfway up the hillside. When it saw two children, it jumped into a rage.
But seeing it lowered its head, stretched out its tongue and licked the ground full of weeds, with a "chi la", the place where the tongue passed was completely bare, and even the ground was licked up by it to a thickness of more than half a foot.
It said in its heart: "Since occupying the mountain as king, I have suffered a little loss. Today, these two children took advantage of it. It is really disrespectful. Let's see how I deal with you!"
It let out a loud cry, and a hungry tiger pounced on the two of them.
Seeing the big green bull rushing towards him like crazy, Lao Tzu thought to himself: If the big green bull is not subdued, people in this area will not have a good life in the future. Today, the big green bull must be subdued.Before he could figure out a way to subdue the big green bull, the big green bull had jumped to the side of his classmate, bowed his head towards the classmate and rushed towards him.The classmate didn't panic, and immediately hugged the big green bull's front leg.Seeing the leg being hugged, the big green bull opened its mouth anxiously and bit it.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu jumped up and pointed the stone in his hand at the upper teeth of the big green bull. With a "click", the upper teeth of the big green bull were smashed off.
The big green bull became angry with embarrassment, and slammed his body, knocking Lao Tzu to the ground. It lowered its head and knocked the classmate to the ground.
When Lao Tzu saw his classmate knocked down by the old cow, he was so angry that his anger rose from his heart, and his energy grew from his bones.At this time, the big green bull was bowing his head and rushing forward. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the bull's horns, and rode on the bull's back.He clamped the back of the bull with his legs, held the two horns with both hands and moved it back vigorously. He moved the horns over all at once, and the big green bull jumped up and down in pain, trying to throw Lao Tzu off his back.
Lao Tzu took off the ribbon around his waist and put the cow's nose firmly through it. Now the big green cow is much more honest.Lao Tzu jumped off the bull's back, picked up a stone and smashed the cow's hooves in half. The big green bull was completely honest.
Lao Tzu and his classmates rode on the big green bull and went home happily.
Not far away, Lao Tzu found a herd of cows, big and small, following him.It turned out that when these cows saw that the first cow was subdued by Lao Tzu, they all followed obediently.Lao Tzu returned home and drove them to a meadow in the east of the village.Since then, he has specialized in domesticating the herd of cattle there.
For the cattle that came with him, he treated them one by one in the same way as the big green cattle. He only allowed them to eat green grass and taught them to pull plows and carts.He gave all the domesticated cattle to the villagers for use.That big green bull has been Lao Tzu's mount ever since.
The room was quiet, and outside Lu Wuyou and the man were listening intently, but Lu Ming and Xiao Linglong frowned.
