In the early Song Dynasty of the Fifth Dynasty, there was a Taoist legend, this person compared to Lü Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng-style Taoist figures may be slightly low-key, and his life is indeed very low-key, and even the basic masterpieces he wrote are low-key to the disciples, but this person is appreciated by many princes and nobles and even the emperor, he is known as the "Fu Shaozi" Chen Zhuo Laozu.
Why call him "Lao Zu", this is also because he is very prominent in Taoist gossip, yin and yang, pulse, feng shui and numerology, especially in the concept of numerology, Chen Zhuo has many legendary stories, so how powerful this Taoist is, let us really get close to him.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > historical records: Chen Zhuo's ancestor was born with a vision</h1>
Ordinary big people or legends always have visions when they are born, Chen Xuan is extraordinary when he was born, his mother suffered a lot in order to give birth to him, and even the flow of the stream next to his home showed a strange swirling inward flow; and another legend about his birth is that a fisherman who one day cast a net to catch fish, the fish did not catch, but caught a purple-red meat ball.
It is said that at that time, the fisherman was frightened and his legs were weak, he also thought it was something inside the water ghost, and then the fisherman observed for a long time, the meat ball began to move on its own, and scared the fisherman enough, after a while, the sky sounded muffled thunder, in the instant of thunder and lightning, the meat ball cracked, and there was a baby crying inside, this is Chen Xuan.
Of course, the above two versions of Chen Zhuo's birth are more widely spread, and there are many events about the mystery of Chen Zhuo's birth, but all this is just to show that Chen Zhuo is not simple.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > keju fell into the first place and began a wandering life</h1>
Of course, Chen Zhuo lived in the homes of ordinary people, naturally it was impossible to show his superiority at the beginning, and when he grew up following the rules, he still chose the profession that young people at that time longed for - officials, so Chen Zhuo began to read through famous works, thinking that he could enter the army.
The era in which Chen Zhuo lived belonged to the chaotic period of the Tang Dynasty, which later developed into five generations of chaotic wars, and the whole Central Plains world was a strife, and Chen Zhuo's family was also upside down and displaced, and the war and chaos made the family miserable; as the saying goes: "The children of the poor have long been in charge." Chen Zhuo began to help his parents at a very young age, and later he thought that only by entering the army could he change the fate of the family, so Chen Zhuo's reading career began.
But when he returned home, his parents at home disappeared because of the war during his own examination, so Chen Zhuo had no place to stay, and even his parents did not know where they were, Chen Zhuo began a wandering life; the historical record, Chen Zhuo's performance after the examination, tells that he did not seek fame and fortune, suddenly saw through many things, so he traveled to various places.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > encountered a change and began to study the study of Huang Laozhi</h1>
But the real Chen Zhuoke is extremely lost after falling off the list, and on the way home, he also encountered many changes, perhaps this period of time, is the darkest thing in Chen Zhuo's life, the future is hopeless, there is no way to return home, his parents are nowhere to be found, and Chen Xuan, who is alone, has no choice but to travel around, saying that he is traveling, in fact, he is also thinking about where he can have his own place.
According to Chen Zhuo's own account, one day he slept in a cave when he was extremely tired, and in the cave, two people dressed in Taoist costumes appeared, and they walked in chen zhuo's side, and a person told Chen Zhuo: "The nine-room rock of Wudang Mountain can be hidden." ”
Later, Chen Zhuo followed the instructions to go to this place of nine chambers, and about these two Daoists, he only knew that their names were Sun Junfang and Zhangpi Virgin, and the others knew nothing; and what was interesting was that after Chen Zhuo went to this place to live in seclusion, it seemed that his brain was enlightened, and he actually began to cultivate the Daoist Fa in a similar way, and he had not read many Taoist scriptures, and he could understand many profound knowledge of Huang Laozhi without a teacher, and gradually Chen Zhuo felt that the things in his brain were areas that he had never touched before. And he began to study health and huang laozhi.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > special cultivation method that takes a long time</h1>
And for the place of the Nine Rooms Rock, there are often pedestrians who see this place often have golden sparkles, pedestrians are curious to walk into this place, the first thing they see in their eyes is a young man sitting on a cliff to sit and practice, and the pedestrians call him, this young man is completely unaware, and then this matter spreads more and more widely, many people come to see the vision here and Chen Zhuo himself; and Chen Zhuo has been practicing in this place for nearly 20 years, and the daily diet is just a simple drink of a few cups of special medicinal wine. Most of the rest of the time is spent meditating or practicing some weird movements.
As Chen Zhuo's fame grew, and the people who visited him also flocked to him, Chen Zhuo's Qing cultivation was interrupted, so he directly moved to the Yuntai Temple of Mount Hua with his luggage to practice, and did not practice here for long, and for some reasons, Chen Zhuo found a stone cave in Shaohua Mountain, in this stone cave, Chen Zhuo also fell into a new stage, most of the time is to sleep, and even at most, Chen Zhuo can sleep for nearly the daytime.
If this were changed on the street, it would be estimated that it would be considered to be dead, but fortunately, the place chosen by Chen Zhuo was extremely hidden, and there was no danger, so Chen Zhuo spent a long time in the stone cave.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chen Refused Zhou Shizong Chai Rong's invitation</h1>
Because Chen Zhuo's vision of cultivation was too special, some local officials reported Chen Zhuo's name to the Later Zhou court, and the Later Zhou emperor Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was very interested in Chen Zhuo, so he personally sent someone to invite Chen Zhuo to the palace, Chen Zhuo was not willing to go over at first, and later sent past soldiers to drive him to the palace.
The first time Zhou Shizong saw Chen Zhuo, he felt that he was a fairy wind Dao bone, and the temperament on his body was a rare sight on mortals, so he was respectful to him; Chen Zhuo asked him the reason for inviting himself over, and Zhou Shizong returned: "I hope that the immortal master will teach the ability to ignite gold and silver to contribute to the imperial court." ”
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "I am a rural Daoist monk who does not know the ability to petrify gold; as the lord of the four seas, his majesty does not govern the country well, how can he prefer this kind of crooked and evil way?" Zhou Shizong was not angry when he heard this, but felt that this person was unfathomable, so he forced him to give him an official position, but Chen Zhuo resolutely refused to appoint him.
Later, after Zhou Shizong observed, he came to the conclusion that Chen Zhuo did not show any other skills except for practicing and sleeping every day, so he let him go; but Zhou Shizong, who revered the Taoist priests, instructed the local officials to honor Chen Zhuo well every New Year's Festival, and what was interesting was that every time the local officials sent a large number of supplements and gold and silver, Chen Xuan refused without exception, and sometimes he really refused to do so, so he simply put them there and did not look at them himself.
The next time the people sent by the official came to see, they saw that the gift he had sent last time was covered with dust, and Chen Xuan was not impressed, so the local official reported this situation to Zhou Shizong, who sighed very much: "This person is by no means an ordinary husband." Sejong became more and more admiring of Chen Zhuo.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chen Xuan accurately predicted the translocation of the later Zhou dynasty</h1>
Later, when Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of Zhou, the night before the Chen Qiao Mutiny, Chen Xuan did not continue to cultivate, but observed the celestial phenomena all night, observed the half-night, and nodded during the day to continue cultivating, and this day just happened to be the change of imperial power in the later Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin became the new emperor.
Zhao Kuangyin this person is not as good as Zhou Shizong and his brother Zhao Guangyi believe in Taoism, he believes that "the destiny of heaven belongs to himself, not to heaven", the officials under him asked Zhao Kuangyin to go to Chen Xuan to see, calculate the current and future fate of the Great Song, Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly and refused, but the younger brother Zhao Guangyi let people specifically ask for their own fate, and the next person returned only got a few words: "The descendants are long", it was over, Zhao Guangyi read it more and more he felt that this Chen Xuan was not simple.
Later, Zhao Kuangyin died of illness, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi ascended to the throne, and in the next year, Zhao Guangyi specially sent someone to invite Chen Xuan to the court, so Chen Xuan came to the imperial court hall to see the emperor, Zhao Guangyi wanted to ask him about the future life of the Great Song, and Chen Xuan only replied lightly: "If the heavenly opportunity leaks, there will be endless troubles." So Zhao Guangyi stopped.
At this time, Chen Xuan's age was more than a hundred years old, but his body was still particularly tough, Zhao Guangyi asked him how to maintain his health, Chen Xuan told Zhao Guangyi about his health care method, Zhao Guangyi felt that this kind of hard cultivation was too torturous after listening, and finally he insisted on it for a while, and he couldn't stand it and gave up.
At this time, Chen Zhuo has long been famous in the world, the world believes that Chen Zhuo is a living immortal, and Chen Zhuo's prediction of numerology is very accurate, but he does not randomly show others numerology, Chen Zhuo's life is only for a few people who have seen numerology, and these people are not very famous in history, but many of them live smoothly in their lives.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > ending</h1>
And Chen Zhuo's last moment was after practicing one night, he got up and told his disciples that they would chisel stones into a stone chamber in Zhang Chaogu, and told the disciples that they were going to live there for their first lives, and that the legendary Chen Zhuo had gone through his last days in this place, and it was said that when Chen Zhuo died, the celestial phenomenon also underwent great changes, and even alarmed the people in the surrounding areas.
The main achievement of Chen Zhuo's life is to study the relevant academics and books of Huang Laozhi, and he has also written many Taoist classics and books on health care, while for political affairs, Chen Zhuo has never intervened, nor has he ever thought of intervening, I don't know whether he saw through the heavenly opportunity, or disdained the world, he was such a pure ascetic to complete his life.
