51. Bronze mirror and lotus

Han Yiming stood up and said, "Thank you for your advice." Qin Wufang said: "You sit down first, I haven't finished talking yet, you can talk about other things after listening." You think, Demon Punishment Disciple, which sect is willing to let him wander into the mortal dust, all of them want to be in the pocket. If you hadn't come here with your master, you would have been forcibly accepted as a disciple by Huang Songtao, Pingbo Daoren, Wu Jingxuan and others. At that time, whether you want to or not, it doesn't help. ”

Han Yiming thought carefully about what these people were doing, couldn't help but be disgusted, shivered, stood up, and said to Qin Wufang: "Disciple is stupid, thank you for your guidance." Although it was said that there was no place to sacrifice his life on Ling Mountain, Qin Wufang's words also made him calm down. All the masters and uncles on Lingshan are above board, and they are many times stronger than Huang and Wu Zhi. Therefore, when I say this, it is also from my heart.

Qin Wufang said with a smile: "You have no desires and no desires, you are at peace with what you encounter, and you have some fate." Han Yiming blushed and said, "Uncle Shi, the disciple has no strengths, and his qualifications are mediocre, I am afraid that I will disappoint my uncle in the future." Qin Wufang smiled and said, "I didn't expect anything from you, why should I be disappointed?" Han Yiming seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "Although the disciple is reckless, please rest assured, the disciple will definitely do his best and practice hard." Qin Wufang shook his head and said, "Alas, I just said that I have no expectations for you. You say you're 'not good at it', but I think you're very good and qualified. Yiming, you have a clean heart, which is very rare. The purpose of cultivating the Tao is to have a clean heart, and if you already have a clean heart, why do you still feel insufficient? You must know that this kind of state is really something that many people can't ask for. If you are biased towards a certain thing, your heart will have all kinds of thoughts, and it will be difficult for your heart to be clean. Only by having no desire and no desire can we maintain the heart of a child, and only then can we be rigid and invincible. ”

Han Yiming only felt that it was unfathomable, but Qin Wufang was also hundreds of years old after all, and there was always some truth in what he said. Then he said: "The master teaches, and the disciple remembers." Qin Wufang nodded and said, "If you can't understand it, don't worry, you will naturally understand it in the future." Han Yiming said: "Yes." ”

Qin Wufang smiled slightly and said, "Yiming, you've been here for all these times, and I haven't let you drink tea." If you're thirsty, drink a cup of tea. With a gesture of raising his hand, a teapot appeared in the air, Qin Wufang reached out and took the teapot, picked up a piece of white paper on the bamboo couch with his left hand, pinched it into a ball, closed his eyes for a moment, smiled slightly, and put his left hand on the table, which was already a white porcelain teacup.

Where did Han Yiming dare to let the master pour tea for himself, and hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. Qin Wufang smiled: "Yiming, I still have something to say to you, don't be busy." I'm not giving you tea, I'm really letting you drink tea, you don't have to think twice. I and your teachers and uncles are all temperamental people, but each of us is different. Just because the patriarch is a man of temperament, the patriarch hates his disciples for being too restrained by himself. Restraining one's mind is also a way of cultivating the Tao, but if it is too restrictive, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

While speaking, Qin Wufang pinched another teacup and came out, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Han Yiming. Han Yiming respectfully took it in his hand, and then sat down. Qin Wufang took a sip of tea and said, "Therefore, I want you not to force yourself, and follow the law." If it is too restrictive, it will lose its true nature, and it will be somewhat contrary to the original intention of cultivation. This is like carving, a good piece of jade, it should be based on the situation, so that it can be pondered. The purpose of pondering is only to highlight the form it already has, so that this form is more beautiful, the luster is more crystalline, and the texture of beautiful jade is revealed. It's not endless, good or bad, grinding all the time. In the end, it was just a jade toothpick, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Han Yiming has also read a few books, and listening to this argument, it is very fresh, but when he thinks about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense, and he can't help but nod. Qin Wufang said: "Your qualifications are already excellent, and other cultivation is just to make up for the shortcomings." Remember, you should not ruin your qualifications by pursuing your spiritual pursuits. Han Yiming said: "Yes." Qin Wufang was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at the bronze mirror and the blue lotus flower on the low table next to the wall, and suddenly stretched out his hands and clasped his palms, and after a while, his hands moved. The bronze mirror rose from the bamboo case and slowly moved towards him, and the blue lotus rose and fell above the bronze mirror, and also floated along with the bronze mirror.

moved in front of him, but it was quietly suspended in the air, and did not fall into Qin Wufang's hands. Qin Wufang looked at Bi Lianhua for a while, shook his head slightly, sighed, and frowned. Han Yiming saw that he was focused, where did he dare to disturb, just stood aside and watched quietly. The blue lotus flower floated around on the bronze mirror, and suddenly stopped in the center of the mirror, and another petal fell from the flower stalk, fell onto the bronze mirror, and disappeared in a moment. Qin Wufang sighed: "I still can't see many things, maybe it's because the opportunity hasn't come yet." But why do I always feel uneasy? Master, when will you be able to give your disciples a little clarity?"

His face was pensive, and his eyes were only on the blue lotus flower on the bronze mirror. Han Yiming held his breath and stood aside, daring to even breathe so lightly that he couldn't be lighter. Qin Wufang pondered for a moment and said, "Yiming, you look at this blue lotus and count the petals on it." Han Yiming said: "Yes." Taking a step closer, he looked at the blue lotus and gently counted "one, two, three, four" in his mouth.

Counting to nine, he said to Qin Wufang: "Master Uncle, it's nine petals." He wanted to turn his head and say this to Qin Wufang, but his eyes couldn't leave the blue lotus, he turned his head, but unconsciously turned his head to look at it. Before Qin Wufang could respond, the center of the bronze mirror suddenly lit up, and a ray of light shot out from that bright spot, passed through the center of the flower, and hit the roof directly. The bright spot suddenly grew larger and expanded outward, and the entire bronze mirror lit up. The blue lotus flower suspended above the bronze mirror was illuminated by this light, the petals were transparent, gently suspended, and after a while, it turned white, then a faint pink, and then a faint green.

Han Yiming was dumbfounded, watching it turn from tender yellow to a slightly purple light pink, to black, then to a bright cinnabar, and finally back to cyan. The pillar of light also turned into a line after the blue lotus turned back to cyan, and it did not go to the bronze mirror after the flower center was closed, and the blue lotus flower floated on the bronze mirror again. Qin Wufang sighed, stretched out his hand, and held it under the bronze mirror.

His hand came to the bottom of the bronze mirror, and the bronze mirror floated an inch higher, and he held it with both hands below, and sent the bronze mirror to the bamboo case. turned around, shook his head, and said, "Yiming, you go back first." Han Yiming said: "Yes." "Get up and say goodbye.
