Chapter 25: Unfinished Business
At this moment, Qin Chuan, soaked in the green ashvat, heard Lao Dao let him rest, and asked puzzledly: "What happened just now?" I feel that my body is very different from before, but I can't say it. ”
At the top of the cliff at this moment, a bright moon is in the sky, and the vision just now is lost with the weakening of the fire under the green ash tank, Lao Dao stood next to the guardrail, glanced in the direction of the capital from a distance, turned his head and said: "It's okay, it's just that you are too tired today, so you have a delusion, rest early, and get up tomorrow." ”
Qin Chuan had beads of sweat on his face, and said to Lao Dao: "No, you have something to hide from me." The dream I had just had, so real, seemed to have been seen somewhere. ”
"It's that you think too much, it's cold outside, it's easy to catch a cold, go into the room early to rest, and get up tomorrow to copy the Heart Sutra. After saying this, Lao Dao left without saying a word, leaving Qin Chuan in a daze.
"This is a bad old way, what must you know? Forget it, don't talk about it. Qin Chuan muttered, and did not chase into Lao Dao's room to ask.
But at this moment, Qin Chuan was very curious about the green ashvat. From the time he could remember, Qin Chuan knew that this green ashjar was placed in the courtyard, and it had not been moved for decades, and it was placed there in the wind and sun. According to Lao Dao, this ashbowl is made of ordinary rocks in the mountains, which is not unusual.
But Qin Chuan has a lot of doubts about this: ordinary people bathe in the room, but he is in the empty courtyard, with the sun, moon and stars on his head, and the wild flowers and wild grasses beside him, and often feels that his body is wandering, if it weren't for the Taoist temple and no female dependents, Qin Chuan would definitely blush.
Since childhood, stubborn diseases often attack, every time the body is like tens of thousands of ants biting the tendons, Qin Chuan almost fainted in pain, and the body is sometimes cold and hot, a day needs to drink several catties of spirits, so every once in a while you need to ignite ordinary firewood, recite the Bodhicitta Sutra in your mouth, and soak in this green ash jar for a period of time, the symptoms of this body are relieved.
Lao Tao told Qin Chuan that during this immersion, he needed to keep his own heart and not have disturbing emotions, but this time Qin Chuan was too tired, so he did not recite the Bodhicitta Sutra, which led to such a vision.
Qin Chuan got dressed and did not go back to the room to rest, but circled around the green ash tank, except for some traces left by the erosion of the years and some moss on the wall of the tank, there was nothing strange about the others, Qin Chuan saw this, and knocked on the green ash tank with his fingers, but there was no response, and the hot water before seemed to become cold in an instant.
It was as if it was really an illusion and nothing happened.
Qin Chuan was full of thoughts, ran to the guardrail in a daze, stood on the top of the cliff, looked at the surrounding scenery, and naturally had a glance at the mountains. It was already a late autumn night, there were no lights flickering, and the inside of Lao Dao's room was also pitch black, and only a vague shadow was left in the deep mountains not far away, and in the silent old forest, there was occasionally the sound of some kind of fierce beast, which made people shudder.
In this noisy world of martial arts rivers and lakes, it seems that there is only Qin Chuan alone at this moment.
Without Danhai and Empty Mountain, it is impossible to enter the camp of the strong men of the martial arts rivers and lakes, and can only cower in this wilderness Taoist temple, not knowing where he comes from, floating in the world like duckweed, Qin Chuan once imagined that he was just a child who was left behind on the way to escape, but he clearly remembered the bloody scene that day, and expected that his life experience must be unusual.
So where did he come from? Qin Chuan vaguely felt that there was some kind of connection with the capital, but he was categorically unsure.
Qin Chuan suddenly thought that Lao Dao had asserted that he had no talent for cultivation before, could it be that Lao Dao had looked away? After all, he had drunk too much, and as a Fu Seal Master, he couldn't even distinguish between killing characters and guarding characters. But I'm afraid he's already asleep at the moment, disturbing his dreams, he must still be scolded, forget it, don't ask him, master, I run the aura of heaven and earth by myself.
Qin Chuan still remembers that the old Tao said: The aura of heaven and earth is hidden in the surroundings, and it can even be said that it is wrapped in the aura of heaven and earth, but the aura of heaven and earth is difficult to touch, and can only be perceived. This martial arts practitioner perceives the aura of heaven and earth through these two places, the Danhai Sea and the Empty Mountain, and then achieves its use.
As soon as you breathe in, the aura of heaven and earth enters the body, but the aura of heaven and earth only passes by, and it does not retain half a point.
These two places, Danhai and Kongshan, are the prerequisites for becoming a cultivator, if there are no two places, how can we talk about perceiving the aura of heaven and earth. However, most cultivators only said that with the help of heaven and earth aura, every time they used it up, they would return it to the world.
The reason why the realms of strong people such as synaesthesia and spirit gathering are different is that the time required to absorb and release the aura of heaven and earth is different, but the strong martial arts cultivators who are higher in the realm can instantly identify the laws of the operation of the aura of heaven and earth, and can quickly fill the Danhai and the empty mountain, so when they are against others, they seem to have a steady stream of aura.
There are many strange people in the world, and there are many strange things in the world.
I have heard that the practitioners of martial arts have entered the realm of martial arts in different ways, there are music and rhythms, and they can enter the Tao in one day; there are blacksmiths who have been beaten for decades and have an epiphany before they can enter the Tao;
Qin Chuan thought to himself, it was a pity that he wrote so wildly. If there is the foundation of this martial arts cultivation, it may not be the next rune seal master, after all, the crazy cursive script written by himself, sometimes compared with the inscriptions of the old way rune seals, there is no big difference between the two, there seems to be something similar, that is, it is obscure, and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify.
But the font written by Qin Chuan can't move, not to mention that it can fly.
A little because of the bath just now, today's tiredness disappeared, Qin Chuan couldn't sleep a little, standing in this leisurely world, I couldn't help but be proud, since the old way is not taught, then I will teach myself.
If the Buddha does not cross me, I will cross myself.
Qin Chuan closed his eyes at the moment, feeling the coolness brought by the surrounding mountain breeze, and the surrounding area was silent, except for the wordless plaque on the door of the Taoist temple looking at Qin Chuan, there was nothing else around.
Many martial arts powerhouses are in retreat and valley, breathing and breathing, and find a breakthrough in the realm. But Lao Dao disagreed, saying that the so-called method of breathing and breathing was only the method of practitioners in the early stage of martial arts, and it was a little mediocre to disturb themselves. If there are no seven emotions and six desires, if there is no coarse food and a full stomach, if there is no strong wine to moisten the throat, then the so-called martial arts practice is only to teach people how to forbear, not to comprehend the creation of heaven and earth.
People are in the martial arts rivers and lakes, and the martial arts rivers and lakes are in their hearts, so the old Tao always says that doing things is practice, eating is practice, drinking is practice, reading is practice, everything is practice, as long as the Tao is in the heart, there is no need to seek the way.
But Qin Chuan didn't believe it, and felt that Lao Dao wanted to be lazy and didn't want to teach him, so he said some unfathomable Taoism, wanting him to retreat from the difficulty, if ordinary people heard it, they would definitely agree with it. However, Qin Chuan is not willing to give up on the Yellow River, even if this martial arts river and lake abandons Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan will definitely be his only believer.
The scenery is just right tonight, everything is in the world, and there is only one person.
Slowly inhaling the air into his abdomen, Qin Chuan held his breath, letting it stay in his body for a longer time, wanting to take the opportunity to comprehend the laws of the operation of heaven and earth aura, if he could grasp a trace of heaven and earth aura tonight, Qin Chuan would definitely go all out.
The night was terrifyingly quiet, Qin Chuan could only hear his own breathing, but except for holding his face red, his body did not change at all, could it be said that this Taoist temple of Ma Taling was in a wilderness, and the aura of this heaven and earth was therefore extremely rare? Qin Chuan thought to himself, maybe his breath was wrong, so he sat cross-legged with his face towards the bright moon, and went to the side to light a pillar of sandalwood to meditate, and breathed again.
Whew, the turbidity of the years of praise,
Suck, the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon,
Spit, the dregs of the Danhai and the empty mountains,
Na, the brilliance of all things returning to their origins;
On the top of the cliff, a ten-year-old boy is using the oldest method of breathing and breathing, exhausting his life's strength, and wants to embark on the road of martial arts cultivation!
The sun and the moon change, the stars change, and everything runs regularly.
Qin Chuan looked at the stars, looming, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, a burst of sandalwood smell came from the side, instantly stabilized his mind, and entered the sitting, if it is a method of breathing and breathing, if you can't feel the aura of heaven and earth, no matter how many heavenly and earthly treasures are useless, then you really can't step into the martial arts rivers and lakes in this life.
Qin Chuan doesn't want to end up on this wilderness Taoist temple, being accompanied by the breeze and dew every day, he doesn't want to wander in the world, he doesn't know where he will be, he doesn't want to be unknown, and no one knows about his remaining life.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan felt a warm current flowing slowly in his abdomen, although it was extremely weak, but it was real. Qin Chuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, could this be the legendary aura of heaven and earth? It seems that he is not unable to cultivate, Qin Chuan took another heavy breath, wanting this warm current to be more obvious.
However, no matter how Qin Chuan breathed and breathed, the warm current in his abdomen was slowly subsiding, and as a pillar of sandalwood burned out and disappeared, this warm current could not last long and disappeared.
"Come again!" Qin Chuan held his breath and said unwillingly.
One move and one style of serious breathing, leaving aside the distractions of the martial arts rivers and lakes, chanting the Bodhicitta Sutra to enlighten the Dao heart, looking forward to the warm current coming again. But no matter how hard Qin Chuan tried, this warm current never appeared again.
Qin Chuan clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, his immature arms were trembling at the moment, his small eyes were looking ahead, his expression was awe-inspiring, he had entered the realm of meditation, and the changes in the world had nothing to do with Qin Chuan.
However, Qin Chuan exerted himself for a long time, but he never felt the warm current. couldn't help but be anxious, his eyes turned black, and he fell.
......
The cool mountain breeze blew through, and it also woke up Qin Chuan, who was lying on the top of the cliff.
I saw that Qin Chuan was covered with a quilt at the moment, and there was a sleepy-eyed old man standing behind him.
"Bunny, are you awake?" asked Lao Dao suddenly, revealing his old yellow teeth.
"Am I drunk?Why do I feel weak all over my body?" Qin Chuan's limbs were sore, and he asked Lao Dao.
Seeing that Qin Chuan had woken up, Lao Dao lifted the quilt and said indignantly: "Rabbit cub, what kind of evil have you done? If I hadn't found out early, you would have fallen off the cliff." Get up quickly, and chant the Heart Sutra a hundred times. ”
It turned out that Qin Chuan didn't know why, the place where he breathed was only half a foot away from the guardrail, and he only needed to turn over before he would fall off the cliff, if it wasn't for the old way to sense that there was an abnormality outside and come out in time, I'm afraid Qin Chuan would have fallen off the cliff a long time ago.
Qin Chuan asked with a difficult smile: "Old Dao, do you think I am a waste of martial arts cultivation, and it is impossible for me to enter the martial arts rivers and lakes in this life?"
The old Taoist asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to enter the martial arts rivers and lakes so much? Do you know how many people have wanted to enter the martial arts rivers and lakes, but in the end they can't get out of the whole body, isn't it good to be an ordinary person?"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "You have seen the appearance of the martial arts rivers and lakes with your own eyes, but I have only heard you talk about it, how are these two the same?
Lao Dao put his hands behind his back, and said with his face facing the direction of the sunrise: "Martial arts rivers and lakes, it's not as simple as you think. Let's just say that the one who fights the watch, since he split my Taoist temple in the horse stepping mountain, has also hidden in the capital and has some fetters, and he doesn't dare to go out a step; The wine marquis who went and drank as he went, searched the world, but did not find the chessboard, and was drunk and dreamed of death every night. ”
Qin Chuan didn't know why he heard so many people, but he knew that these must be well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, so he got up from the ground and asked, "That old Dao, you are from the martial arts rivers and lakes, but what is undone?"
Lao Dao turned his back to Qin Chuan, and couldn't help but say melancholy: "Born in the martial arts rivers and lakes, naturally there is something unfinished?"
Qin Chuan asked with a smile: "But are you going to find the one who fights and revenge him for splitting the Taoist Temple?" I don't think you go, you are not his opponent, and when the time comes, I can't send you to the end." ”
Lao Dao heard Qin Chuan's words, but he was not angry, the person who returned to the Tao had already looked at life and death very lightly, the rising sun shone on Lao Dao's body, and there was a golden luster on the shabby Taoist robe, this condescending posture, in the eyes of others, the old Dao on the cliff did have the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.
Qin Chuan probably just woke up, and when he saw this scene, he touched his eyes, as if he didn't believe in the old way of laughing and scolding, and there were times when he was so dignified.
Lao Dao said with a ruddy face at this moment: "I came from the martial arts rivers and lakes, entered this horse stepping mountain, didn't ask about the world all day long, and devoted myself to studying the talisman seal, in fact, it was just to prepare for the rest of my life." As for the unfinished business you mentioned, there is indeed one thing. ”
"I can't imagine that you really have something unfinished, if it weren't for that old man, okay?" Qin Chuan still remembered the content on the name post, and asked jokingly.
"No, no. Lao Dao said at this moment, not at all as casual as before, "I ask you, if I really have something unfinished, are you willing to help me complete it?"
"If I can complete it, I will do my best, after all, we have drunk so much wine together, if it can't be done, don't blame me, but don't bother me about the love of children, I can't solve it." Qin Chuan said seriously.
"If you are worried about your life, then are you willing?" Lao Dao still put his hands behind his back and asked Qin Chuan.
Seeing that Lao Dao was so serious, Qin Chuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, because you won't pit me." ”
"Okay," Hearing Qin Chuan's answer, Lao Dao said with great satisfaction: "When the time comes, do what you can, and run if you can't do it." ”
