Chapter 18 Drawing Symbols
Pu Xuan's shoulder hurt, and he was anxious to see the injury, but someone inserted a gold needle, and his left shoulder could no longer move flexibly. Pu Xuan was shocked and shouted: "Ouch, the poor road pants have fallen off, you must not come over, the poor road has strictly adhered to the etiquette for sixty years, and it will never be destroyed by your hands." As he spoke, he took out the talisman paper from his bosom.
Mrs. Li sneered: "Even if you are naked, you don't want to escape for your life." With that, a flash flashed in his hand, and a golden needle appeared, which turned in the air and stabbed down. Pu Xuan was stabbed in the right shoulder again, and he couldn't hold the talisman paper that he touched half of it, and he cried bitterly in his heart.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his wife, he suddenly exclaimed, "Mother! ”
Leaving Mrs. for a moment, I took a look at it by the faint light, and a petite figure slowly walked out behind the rockery.
"It's you." Mrs. Li's eyes flashed. It was the Jinyu who came out. Pu Xuan picked up his life in a desperate situation, kept panting, and gave Fang Zhong who was hiding behind the rockery while glancing.
Mrs. Li said, "What do you see? ”
Li Jinyu said: "I saw my mother with great power and taught a servant girl who didn't know how high or low." ”
Mrs. Li suddenly slapped her face, slapped Li Jinyu in the mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense, it is clear that this maid is fighting and dying for the innocence of the mother, and the mother avenged her and killed the Taoist." ”
He stumbled away from Jin Yu, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "My mother said yes, since I was a child, I didn't say what my mother said." ”
Mrs. Li said coldly: "I gave birth to you and raised you, shouldn't you listen to me?" ”
Li Jinyu said: "The child does not have to worry about food and clothing, and the mother treats the child very well, so naturally she has to listen to the mother." ”
Mrs. Li said: "Then what are you talking about." Seeing that Pu Xuan ran to the rockery, he wanted to chase after him.
Li Jinyu hugged Mrs. Li, and cried: "But mother, the child doesn't want this, the child is willing to be hungry, and it is very happy to have a mother to accompany and talk." ”
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, remembering that she rarely stayed by her daughter's side, which was indeed against the relationship between mother and daughter, and couldn't help but soften her eyes, and gently raised her hand to pull her daughter's hair, but when she saw Li Jinyu's dark and deep eyes, Mrs. Li turned her head as if she had seen a ghost and didn't dare to look at it again, and said: "There are so many people with you, what is there to be afraid of, you go away quickly, let your mother kill the demon Dao." ”
Li Jinyu hugged Mrs. Li, and begged: "It was my daughter who brought them, mother, let them go." Mrs. Li was caught by her daughter, she was furious, slapped Jin Yu down, and shouted: "I really don't know what's going on, don't bother me." ”
Li Jinyu was knocked to the ground, his heart was in severe pain, and he looked at Mrs. Li and said: "Niang ......" Her eyes darkened and she fainted.
After a delay during this time, Pu Xuan had already run to Fang Zhong and shouted, "Quickly help me pull out the needle." Fang Zhong stretched out his hand, Pu Xuan sighed, his hands were finally able to move, and he immediately took out a few pieces of rune paper, and the fire flashed in his palm, and he had pulled Fang Zhong and disappeared.
When Mrs. Li rushed to the back of the rockery, she saw her two golden needles left in place. Just when he was confused, he suddenly heard another sound next to the Lingquan, turned his head to look, and saw that the person appeared next to the Lingquan with Fang Zhong, Fang Zhong reached out and took his gourd, but Pu Xuan smiled at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li's hands flicked sharply, and more than a dozen golden needles flew out of her sleeves, and the sound of tuk tuk was inserted in the place where Pu Xuan Fang had just appeared, but the needles were empty.
Mrs. Li's face changed suddenly, and she shouted loudly: "Come on, the demon Dao killed my maidservant, quickly catch him and die." The shouting suddenly alarmed the Zhuang Ding guards everywhere, both bright and dark, and the sound of vigilance was loud for a while, shaking the entire Crouching Tiger Village.
Pu Xuan and Fang Zhong used the technique of retreat to reach their residence in a moment, and they came out of shape in a moment. Pu Xuan couldn't wait to say without taking a breath: "Hurry, hurry, pack up your things and run, this place can't stay." As soon as the two of them finished cleaning up, they heard the sound of gongs in the distance, and the noise of people gradually came here.
When these people arrived inside, the house was already empty.
In the barren grass outside the village, Fang Zhong looked back at Crouching Tiger Village and muttered, "Aunt Hong, Xiaolan, take care of yourself." ”
Pu Xuan said weakly: "Don't be wordy, let's go, get out of the dangerous place as soon as possible." ”
Pu Xuan and Fang Zhong took the little hideous beast and drove for a few days, and when they were tired, they found a small river on the side of the road to wash their faces and rest their feet and nourish their spirits.
The sky is full of thunder, and there are thunderstorms at any time. The water of the creek is crystal clear, and you can see a few small fish frolicking among the pebbles and aquatic plants. "Plop!" With a bang, Pu Xuan jumped into the river, scaring those very idle little fish to flee in all directions, some hid in the pebble crevices, some were frightened and jumped out of the river, made a few splashes and burrowed into the lush aquatic plants.
Pu Xuan laughed and said, "Cool, wash up your stinky sweat today." ”
Fang Zhong watched Pu Xuan play in the water, and also pulled up his trouser legs, and put his feet in the river water to wash, only to feel that it was very comfortable to enter the water.
Pu Xuan said: "Taking a bath in Lingquan is really wonderful, I soaked it, and I only felt that my cultivation had improved a lot, and maybe this face was also much more handsome." At that time, when I went back to the mountain, the two brothers and sisters didn't recognize me, so they left me or didn't leave me, that is, they went down the mountain, and by virtue of their handsome appearance, they all took a widow at random, and lived a vulgar life from then on. ”
Fang Zhong said with a smile: "Dao Chief's heart has moved. ”
Pu Xuan said: "Who has no ordinary heart? Monks and nuns are all thinking of spring, not to mention me. Poor Dao was not born to want to be a Taoist priest, and when he was young, his family couldn't get by, so he went up the mountain to eat. After eating this bowl of rice, I felt that the days were really hard, so I secretly went down the mountain to visit it for a few days, and then went back when I had had enough. ”
Fang Zhong said: "It turns out that the cultivation path is also so leisurely. ”
Pu Xuan said: "Yes, the poor Dao looks at your wonderful bones, and you have a good cultivation at a young age, why don't I take you up the mountain and learn the Tao with me." ”
Fang Zhongdao: "I remember that the Dao Master once said that my qi refining has reached the stage of entering the body, I don't know what this period of entering the body means?" ”
Pu Xuanqi said: "Do you really not know or deliberately make fun of the poor Dao, do you know that the poor Dao has been refining qi for forty years, but it is only struggling in the entry period, and it is even more difficult to go further." ”
Fang Zhong said: "I really don't know. ”
Pu Xuan said: "Okay, I'll talk to you about the poor Dao, but if we and other cultivators want to achieve success, we must keep meditating and breathing, so as to transform the essence and spirit into true qi." Therefore, this Qi refining is divided into several realms, and the first step is to cultivate True Qi first. Don't underestimate this first step, not everyone can practice true qi, there are many people who have been practicing hard meditation all their lives, and they have not formed a cyclone in the dantian, and those who have been trained by luck have entered the ranks of monks, and they can be regarded as qi refiners. Poor Dao sees that you have long passed this realm, and you should have started to breathe in and refine qi many years ago. ”
Fang Zhong said suddenly: "I see. "Thinking of the mantra passed on by Jiang Wenxian in the past, it seems that this is the method of refining qi.
Pu Xuan continued: "That day, I saw you meditating in the spiritual spring, your breath gathered on the top of your head, and you already had true qi to protect your body, which is something that can only be done when you cultivate to the stage of entering the body. ”
Fang Zhong said: "Is this cultivation level already very high? ”
Pu Xuan smiled: "Of course it's not too high, I can only say that I can barely get a glimpse of the door of cultivation." Since ancient times, cultivation has been nothing more than three major realms, which are refining and refining qi, refining qi to return to the gods, and refining the gods to return to the void. This entry into the body is only the initial realm in refining and refining qi, and then there are two small realms in the middle and late stages of induction and condensation, as for the cultivation of qi and returning to the gods, it corresponds to the three small realms of refining gang, returning to the yuan, and yang god, and refining the gods and void corresponds to the three small realms of nirvana, silence, and immortality. You calculate, from the beginning of the enlightenment period, if you want to cultivate the immortal realm step by step, how many roads still have to go. ”
Fang Zhong was disappointed and said, "In this way, I am still far away. ”
Pu Xuan said: "Compared with those powerful people, it is naturally very far behind, but if you are just happy in the world, it is enough, such as being like a poor road, unrestrained, and living freely." ”
Fang Zhong muttered: "Although I want to learn the Tao from the Taoist Master, I have promised Uncle Jiang that I will return to the mountain with him. ”
Pu Xuan said: "Who is your Uncle Jiang, and what mountain do you want to go back to?" ”
Fang Zhong said: "Uncle Jiang is Uncle Jiang, he has never told me who he is, but that mountain has mentioned to me that it is Kunlun Mountain." The Taoist chief is well-informed, have you ever heard of this mountain? ”
Pu Xuan was shocked when he heard the name of Kunlun, slowly climbed ashore, approached Fang Zhong and said, "Do you know where Kunlun Mountain is?" Fang Zhong shook his head. Pu Xuan was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, patted his thigh and said, "Qiao!" You know which sect I belong to. ”
Fang Zhongdao: "Which sect is the Taoist leader?" ”
Pu Xuan Zhengse said: "The poor road is the only one in the world Maoshan authentic, the ancient cypress and green pine fairy sound in front of the hall, the three clear incense in the hall is continuous, the disciples of the temple are pious to the Tao, and the place where the Maoshan faction is built is Kunlun Mountain." ”
Fang Zhong was stunned and said, "If the Maoshan Sect is not built on Maoshan Mountain, how can it be Kunlun Mountain?" ”
Pu Xuan said: "You don't understand this, although there are sects named after the place where the mountain gate is located, there are also many that are not named after this, such as Tianshi Dao, Ciyun Temple, etc., they are not named after the mountain where they are located." This is the case in Maoshan where the poor road is located. ”
Fang Zhongxi said: "Really? Then do you know my Uncle Jiang? ”
Pu Xuan said: "This ...... There are many people on the mountain, how can I remember a lot of poor roads, you can go with me, and find it slowly by yourself. ”
Fang Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Pu Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the rune paper along the poor road is running out, you need to draw some more runes to use, in case anything happens, it's good to escape in time." "I got up from the river, put on my clothes, opened my baggage, and took out a brush, inkstone, cinnabar, and yellow paper, and laid them out in the open space by the river, and carried them cross-legged. No wonder his burden is bigger than that of ordinary people, and it turns out that he carries all the study utensils with him.
Fang Zhong and the little beast both squatted to the side to watch how Pu Xuan was at his mercy
Pu Xuan had good luck for a long time, Fang Shi used the river water to dissolve the cinnabar, grinded it carefully in the inkstone, and later, with a pen, he painted it with a serious expression on the cut yellow paper, and every stroke and every painting were concentrating on the wrist and painting very hard.
After finishing drawing a piece of talisman paper, Fang Zhong asked, "Dao Chief, do you need to be so careful about drawing talismans?" I see you draw dragons and phoenixes, it's very simple. ”
Pu Xuan glanced at Fang Zhong and said: "You don't understand, drawing this talisman requires all the spirit and spirit, and you can't be careless, if you are distracted, the true qi in your hand can't be condensed in the talisman through the strokes, although there is a talisman, but it's just a waste talisman with its shape, and it can't be used anymore." ”
Fang Zhong scratched his head and said, "It turns out that there is also attention to the strokes. ”
Pu Xuan said: "That's nature, otherwise wouldn't everyone be able to draw talismans and spells." "I drew a few more pieces of rune paper contemplatingly, and my true qi gradually disappeared, and my forehead was already slightly sweaty.
