凤鸣山问丹 上虞的秋日，凤鸣山薄雾如纱。我沿石阶缓步而上，两旁古木参天，溪水泠泠作响，仿佛仍回荡着千年前炉火噼啪的余音。山腰处，一方“炼丹井”静卧于苔痕斑驳的石栏内，井水幽深，映不出魏伯阳的身影，却照见自己模糊的轮廓——这方寸水土，曾是他与弟子们埋首炼丹、叩问长生的地方。 山间传说里，魏伯阳炼成金丹后，以犬试药，犬倒地如死。两位弟子心生疑惧，弃丹而去；唯有一人笃信师道，愿同服共死。结果师徒与犬皆复苏飞升，而犹豫者终老山下。故事如山风拂过耳际，初听是仙迹，细思却如井水般冰凉：那“坚定”的信念，究竟该交付给谁？若丹本为毒，那“信”岂非成了引向深渊的绳索？ 下山途中，偶遇一位老农在田埂上歇息。他笑谈：“如今谁还信什么金丹？但人总得信点什么吧，不然日子怎么过？”他信的是节气、是土地、是春种秋收的踏实。这朴素之“尚”，与魏伯阳的玄奥丹道相隔千年，却同样支撑着一种生活。吴晗先生曾言，社会风气之“尚”如潮汐涨落，或尚名节，或尚功利，或尚清谈——可无论何种“尚”，若只知随波逐流，不加省察，便如那两位弃丹弟子，既失了飞升之机，也未必真得了安稳。 归途车窗外，城市灯火渐次亮起，霓虹如新的“丹炉”，闪烁着财富、流量、速度的诱人光泽。我们这一代人，何尝不在各自的时代“炼丹”？只是炉中所炼，早已不是铅汞，而是对意义、价值与归属的渴求。然而，若只知追逐那最耀眼的光，却不肯停下脚步自问一句“此丹可服否？”，恐怕终将陷入另一种“假死”——身体活着，灵魂却已沉睡。 凤鸣山无凤鸣，唯有风过林梢。魏伯阳的丹炉早已冷透，但那口炼丹井却像一面古镜，照见所有时代人心深处的叩问：我们该信什么？又为何而信？ 苏格拉底说：“未经省察的人生不值得过。”或许真正的“丹”，并非服食之物，而是那敢于审视自身信念的勇气——它不许诺飞升，却能让双脚在尘世站得更稳，让眼睛在迷雾中看得更清。  ( 1 min )
