Chapter Seventy-Nine: Drawing Water with a Bamboo Basket
Wooden fish incense burner, originally all Taoist things, later Buddhism was introduced, in order to integrate into the local culture, Buddhism absorbed a lot of Taoist things, wooden fish incense burner, is one of the most representative two, in fact, Buddhism itself, is not a wooden fish to say.
"Master, to tell you the truth, I have recently encountered a little trouble, there is an evil and crooked person, eyeing me, want to use evil magic, mutilating my relatives and friends, I fought with him twice, the first time he won in his careless investigation, this second time, the victory or defeat is unknown, I got the guidance of the master today, and it is clear that the person will come again, so I want to borrow the master's wooden fish incense burner to use, in order to deal with this calamity. ”
Zhang Tianyi thought about it for a while, and then said to the old monk Xuantong as it was.
Since Zhang Shizhu came to borrow, the old monk categorically did not have a reason not to borrow, but this wooden fish and incense burner were passed from the patriarch of my Wushan Temple, and they could not be taken out of the temple easily. ”
The old monk Xuantong said to Zhang Tianyi with a smile.
"Please also ask the master to give advice. "Zhang Tianyi has long heard the master say that this old monk in Wushan Temple has great ability, but he is also an old pedantic, and it is definitely not easy to ask him to help, so the master would rather carry it himself, and if he is injured, he will never come to beg him.
However, this incident involves not only Zhang Tianyi himself, but also Xu Ruoyan and Fan Lingling, both of whom are one of the most important people to Zhang Tianyi now, Zhang Tianyi can't risk their lives no matter what, so no matter how difficult Xuantong is, he will accept it.
"Master Zhang, this matter is also simple, I only need to ask Master Zhang to help me two favors. Xuantong said, took out a basket from behind him, handed it to Zhang Tianyi, and said: "There is a water tank in my backyard, and there was originally a water lily in the water tank, but these days, the weather is hot, and the water in the water tank has dried up. ”
Zhang Tianyi looked at the bamboo basket in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, the so-called "bamboo basket is empty", how to draw water from this bamboo basket, Xuantong is not just difficult, it is better to directly say that it is simple and clear not to borrow.
Sun Chengming, who was beside him, saw this, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he wanted to stand up and go crazy, Zhang Tianyi looked at the smile between Xuantong's eyebrows, his heart moved slightly, he grabbed Sun Chengming, and said to Xuantong: "Master, I'll go back!"
Saying that, Zhang Tianyi pulled Sun Chengming to walk outside, and after leaving the gate of the temple, Sun Chengming hurriedly said to Zhang Tianyi: "Brother Yi, what did you stop me from just now, that old monk, it is clear that he doesn't want to borrow, use a bamboo basket to draw water, how can a bamboo basket draw water?"
Zhang Tianyi walked up the mountain with a calm face, so as to say to Sun Chengming: "Master Xuantong is a Taoist master, he will not embarrass people for no reason, since he said so, there must be a way, first go to the stream in the back mountain." ”
When Sun Chengming heard this, he sighed for a while, but only honestly followed Zhang Tianyi, and after walking a long way in the mountains, the two found the stream that Xuantong said, and saw the trickling stream in the stream, Zhang Tianyi's brows couldn't help frowning tightly.
This creek looks no different from the ordinary mountain stream, and there is nothing special about it, so it is impossible to use a bamboo basket to draw water, but Zhang Tianyi is not in a hurry, and continues to walk along the creek, looking around as he goes.
In front of a small mountain spring at the source of the stream, Zhang Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly, only to see that this spring water, just in the shade, surrounded by dark cyan stone walls on three sides, from the top of the stone wall, continuous overflow of water, these streams, gathered together, formed this spring.
The back of the spring water is not shaded, but the stone walls on three sides block all the places where the spring water gets sunlight, and the stone walls are still dark blue, thick and heavy, and the water that comes out of it is naturally extremely yin rock water.
Looking at the surrounding environment, on the surface, there is sunshine everywhere around here, high in the west and low in the east, surrounded by mountains and trees, it is a feng shui treasure land with strong yang energy, but if you look closely, the trend of this mountain is from west to east, just the opposite of the high mountain and low mountain, forming a pattern according to the yang.
In a place where yang energy is strong, but according to the pattern of yang, coupled with the three thick dark cyan stone walls in front of the spring, it can be expected that there are many such rocks in the entire mountain, so the whole mountain can be regarded as a yin mountain.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianyi's heart finally came to his senses, walked to the front of the mountain spring, stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall, so hot summer, this stone wall is as cold as ice.
With a slight movement in his heart, he handed the bamboo basket to Sun Chengming and said, "You help me take the bamboo basket first, and wait for me by the spring!"
Zhang Tianyi said, pulled up his trouser legs, stepped into the spring water, and as soon as his feet entered the spring water, Zhang Tianyi felt a cold breath, which instantly spread all over his body, and couldn't help but shiver, but quickly ran the true qi in the dantian qi sea, dispelled these cold gases, and continued to walk towards the spring.
When he reached the depths of the spring, Zhang Tianyi could feel that a large amount of yin qi in the spring water was converging towards him, and the true qi in his body accelerated the speed of operation, while resisting the cold of yin qi, Zhang Tianyi was also thinking about what to do next.
The mountain pattern has become extremely yin, and the yin energy accumulated in it is very rich, to the point that it can affect and change the environmental climate of the whole region, and the spring water is cold, but it has not yet reached the point of freezing, and it seems that there is still a little bit of difference.
Thinking about it, Zhang Tianyi's heart suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he thought of what was still missing in this spring water before he could melt ice, so he stretched out his hand and drew on the spring water, his fingers turned extremely fast, and he quickly finished drawing a complete pattern.
But after Zhang Tianyi finished painting, he found a more serious problem, no matter how fast he painted, the water is impermanent, and it can't stay on the surface of the water.
After pondering for a moment, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his body, Zhang Tianyi's heart moved slightly, and he thought of a way to mobilize the yang energy in his body with his true qi and emit the yang energy into the spring water.
At the moment when the yang energy entered the spring water, Zhang Tianyi saw that the spring water under his feet gave birth to a thin layer of hoarfrost, his heart was slightly happy, and he stretched out his hand to quickly draw it on the hoarfrost, and after a while, a complete Yang Gathering Array Formation appeared at his feet.
