A close up of a man with a long beard sitting on a rock

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar who was walking alone among the overgrown grass and trees. He heard the sound of reading aloud, and wondered how there could be such a sound in the open field. Searching for the sound, I saw an old man sitting in the middle of the tomb, beside more than ten foxes, each holding a book and squatting. When the old man saw him, he stood up to greet him, and the foxes stood up like people with their books in their hands. The scholars thought that since they knew how to read, they would not harm others, so they saluted each other and sat on the ground. The scholar asked: "What is the purpose of studying?" The old man said: "We are all cultivators. There are two ways for a fox to seek immortality: one is to gather energy, worship the stars, and gradually reach the point of psychic transformation, and then practice to become a fairy. Zhengguo, this is seeking immortality from demons. But if you enter the evil road, you will violate the rules of heaven. This road is fast but dangerous. There is also a way to become a human being first. Inner alchemy, this is a person seeking immortality. Even if you use the method of swallowing and guiding, it is not a one-time effort, but you have to persist for a long time, and you will naturally be able to complete it. This road is tortuous and safe. But the body cannot change naturally. Change according to your mind, so first read the books of sages and sages, understand the principles of the three cardinal guides and five constant principles, and when your mind changes, your body will also change." Scholar borrowed his books to read, all of which are "Five Classics", "Analects of Confucius", "Book of Filial Piety" , "Mencius" and the like, but there are only scriptures without annotations. Question: "If the scriptures are not explained, how can we explain them thoroughly?" The old man said: "We study only for understanding. The words of the sages are not difficult at first. If you teach them orally and explain the meanings of the words well, you can understand the meaning and gist of it. What?" The scholar felt that his argument was weird, and he didn't know what to say. Let's ask his age, the old man replied: "I can't remember. I just remember that when I was studying scriptures, there were no block-printed books in the world." The scholar asked again: "How many dynasties have you lived through? Same or different?" Answer: "Most of them are not too far apart. It's just that before the Tang Dynasty, there were only Confucianists. After the Northern Song Dynasty, it was often heard that a certain Jia was a sage, and this is a small difference." The scholar didn't understand what he meant, so he bowed and said goodbye. . Later, I met this old man on the road and wanted to talk to him, but the old man turned around and walked away. traditional Chinese painting
