Chapter 20: Provocation
After the bones were examined, everyone was taken to another side hall, where a strange statue was enshrined, and the statue was a drunken Taoist man drinking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This is the Patriarch Zhong of this sect, and the disciples of the sect are courteous. Under the guidance of the gray-clothed disciples, the new disciples first bowed and saluted, and then sat down on the futon below, and then an elder in white stepped forward to offer incense.
Then he said to all the new disciples: "Today, I will give you a lecture on the scriptures, first of all, a "Taishang Laojun Says Changqing Jing Sutra". Then pass down the method of qi induction according to your understanding. ”
"Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time. The husband and the Taoist: there is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, and the capital is reduced to the end, and all things are born. The pure, the source of turbidity, the moving, the foundation of stillness, people can always be quiet, heaven and earth are all returned. ……”
After chanting the scriptures three times, Zhang Yi listened carefully to these scriptures and recited them silently. These are the true Taoist scriptures, the foundation of spiritual practice, and the foundation of the great schools with their own ideas and traditions.
"The scriptures do not talk about promising cultivation methods, but ask people to start from the heart, and use the method of tranquility to clear their hearts and desires, and to participate in the path of enlightenment. Until he enters the realm of constant tranquility, and then gradually enters the true path, which is called the enlightenment. The white-robed elder explained again after he had finished delivering the scriptures.
It wasn't until the minor friars below were asleep that they stopped lecturing. Then there were three jade bells ringing softly, the sound was crisp and pleasant, and there was an inexplicable power to penetrate the heart.
Zhang Yi only felt like ice and snow poured into his brain for a while, and in a smart moment, his mind was immediately calm, and his desires disappeared.
"If you want to be born, you are truly quiet. With the help of this bell, Zhang Yi immediately realized a pure realm, and then quickly dispersed all thoughts after a flash of thought, his mind was silent, thoughtless, and without any worries, his mind was truly at peace, and he naturally entered a wonderful realm.
Just when Zhang Yi was smoothly quiet, the gray mist filled with his eyebrows in the Yin Hall naturally dissipated, and his soul emitted light like a pearl, although this light was also thin and unstable, swaying like a candle flame, but that was the sexual light, shining in the Yin Hall, and getting the true self, it could be called the germination of the Dao heart.
Zhang Yi stayed in the purity for an unknown amount of time, until a flash of thought appeared to him: "What time is it now?" and he withdrew from this pure state.
When he opened his eyes, the futons around him were empty, only the white-clothed elder was still there, and it was already the time of the three poles of the sun, and he had already entered the Changqing Pure Realm for half an hour.
These three bells are the function of a high-quality magic weapon to stimulate the purification of the heart and extinguish desires, and these three bells alone can save the monk several years of time alone, and have a huge effect on the cultivation of meditation, which can be called the treasure of cultivation. Although ringing these three bells will take three years of cultivation for a Jindan monk, this is the super essence of a great sect.
"Yes, it's a wise one. The white-clothed elder said. "Go ahead, choose a qi induction technique, practice well, and build a foundation, the more solid the foundation. ”
After Zhang Yi heard this, he knew that he was instructing himself, and the idea of being in a hurry to complete the cultivation of qi induction to advance to the foundation building quickly dissipated, and it was indeed the foundation building that the more the foundation was built, the more solid the foundation must be laid. Just like building a building, the treatment of a foundation is very important, and whether the superstructure is solid or not has an irreplaceable role. The foundation of the building is not good enough, and the superstructure is likely to collapse.
After Zhang Yi got up to thank him, he followed a miscellaneous disciple into a hall.
The hall is bluestone casting, there are three zhang high, the hall is divided into two layers, and a plaque reads "Xijiang Canglang Palace". At the main entrance, a monk in Tsing Yi sat in a rocking chair, looking at a silk book. When he saw Zhang Yi entering, he said lazily: "Turn left when you enter the door, and you can choose a book of exercises on the bookshelf." ”
also turned a blind eye to Zhang Yi's salute, Zhang Yi was not angry, and went straight to the bookshelf when he entered the door.
There are only a dozen books on the shelves. They are all exercises in the qi induction period, with the meaning of the "Dafang Sutra" that focuses on the foundation and takes the meaning of being generous and late, and there are "Accumulating Soil into a Mountain" that focuses on accumulation and cultivation, and "Five Elements Jue" that focuses on the power of the five elements of spells, etc.
Zhang Yi did not hesitate to choose the "Dafang Sutra", not only because the grade of the Dafang Sutra as a scripture is higher than other methods, but also because of the guidance of the white-robed elder.
After obtaining the cultivation method of the Qi Induction Period, Zhang Yi rushed back to the dining hall, just in time for the meal, where all the miscellaneous monks were eating. Everyone whispered while eating, in the morning assessment, who got what method, who made the ancestor favor and a series of words.
After Zhang Yi entered the door, he received a series of attention, and when he was eating, he also heard a discussion around, "Who is that, that is, he has been in meditation with the white-robed elders for almost half an hour, and those elders are very fond of his appearance, I don't know what method he chose, maybe he will build a foundation in the next two years, become a registered disciple of those elders, and even become a true disciple." ”
Listening to these words of envy and jealousy, Zhang Yi was a little proud, but he was not happy. Just as he was about to sit down to eat, the overconfident young man in Chinese clothes walked over, stood in front of Zhang Yi, and said, "What's your name?
is about a wealthy family, and he speaks very horizontally.
Zhang Yi swallowed the contents of his mouth slowly, and then said, "Your Excellency, won't you introduce yourself before asking others?"
Probably realizing his gaffe, he said: "I am Zeng Qilin of Zeng Wangfu, and my uncle is the chief of miscellaneous servants. ”
Zhang Yi replied: "My name is Zhang Yi, so there is no need to talk about the exercises." ”
Zeng Qilin said: "Zhang Yi, do you dare to compete with me to see who entered the foundation building first? I think my superior qualifications and superior understanding are not much different from yours, do you dare to compare?"
"Boredom"
Zhang Yi naturally wouldn't be interested in this boring suggestion, but he was going to take the road of building a perfect foundation, how could he destroy his future for the sake of a little bit of boredom.
"Then you just don't dare?" Zeng Qilin pressed step by step.
Zhang Yi threw him down after eating, and he left alone laughing wildly. I also thought to myself: "How did such a strange person enter the sect." ”
