Chapter 8: Preaching in Prison (Part II)

After listening to what Yang Congyi said, Lao Dao shook his head again and again, "Little friend, this matter is not easy to handle, you are dirty, you are not the mastermind but also the accomplice, it seems that the poor Dao is busy in vain." ”

Yang Congyi saw that Lao Dao also said this, and he felt very uncomfortable, it seemed that no one could help him clear his wrongs. Lost, he lay on the ground, "Dao Chief, do you say that this sky has eyes?" ”

Lao Tao replied, "People have eyes, and the sky has eyes." ”

Yang Congyi asked, "Dao Chief, can I still go out?" You can see the people of the world, but you can't see me clearly. ”

Lao Dao replied, "Heaven and earth are nothing, and if they become nothing, they still need chance." ”

Yang Congyi said, "I don't know what you said, can I still go out?" If you can't get out, I won't practice this skill, and I'll be beheaded anyway, and it's useless to practice, so let me sleep until I die. ”

Lao Dao said with a smile, "If you can get out, if you want to go out, Poor Dao can take you out at this time, this small prison is not in the eyes of Poor Dao." ”

Yang Congyi suddenly sat up and asked excitedly, "Really, can you save me out?" ”

Lao Dao nodded and said, "Of course you can do it, but it will take a few days, and if you want to take the poor road, I will take you away." ”

Yang Congyi was about to agree, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, Lao Dao is a capable person, and it is normal to demolish this cell with a gesture, but if Lao Dao forcibly takes him away, then he is a fugitive, and he has become a death row prisoner who escaped from prison. Even if no one pays attention to it after a few years, and no one can remember it anymore, he is always a fugitive wanted by the government, and the legal net is restored, and he will inevitably be caught and executed on the spot, not a death. I was wronged, why should I escape, if I escaped, I was really a criminal, and no one could save it.

Thinking of this, Yang Congyi said quietly, "Dao Chief, I am wronged, and if I don't clear my name, I can't go anywhere in this world." ”

Lao Dao said, "Whether it is wronged or not, I can't tell whether it is wronged, and I will find someone to help you redress your grievances after you go out." The emphasis of cultivation is on the right heart, the heart is guilty, the Tao is difficult to do, the heart is clear, and the Tao can be achieved. Although the poor Dao will not take disciples, the vision of this disciple will not be wrong. Xiaoyou, don't worry, since I have taught you this secret method, I will naturally try to rescue you, you can cultivate with peace of mind, this person and earth are two ways, and you juniors need to cultivate. You can be regarded as entering the Tao halfway, and cultivating the Daoist Path is the most suitable. ”

Yang Congyi listened to Lao Dao's words, and his heart suddenly brightened again, at this time there was a group of people standing behind him, no longer his lonely one. Before he refused to join the church, disdainful of religion, and did not believe in religion at all, after getting along with the old Tao, he had become interested in Taoism, and now the old Tao regarded him as a real disciple, Yang Congyi was moved. What kind of spirit is it to take a person who has committed a capital crime as a disciple and teach the secret method of this sect, and how can this kindness be repaid?

Thinking of this, Yang Congyi couldn't help but shed tears and bowed to the old man, "Master, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

Lao Dao hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, Yang Congyi came down suddenly, he was a little caught off guard, and complained, "Xiaoyou, don't be like this, Poor Dao never accepts apprentices, let alone takes apprentices, your master can't stand it, you are not a real disciple of my teaching now, when the opportunity comes in the future, it is not too late for you to go to the mountain gate and apprentice." ”

Yang Congyi cried, "Thank you, Daoist, I will definitely go to Wudang Mountain to learn art after I go out." ”

Lao Dao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the poor Dao is talking about chance, if the opportunity is not enough, even if you go up the mountain, you can't worship the teacher, everything goes naturally, you can't force it." ”

Yang Congyi replied, "Disciple understands. ”

Lao Dao got up and sat down behind Yang Congyi, "Let Poor Dao take a look at your injuries again." ”

Yang Congyi held back his heart, stopped his tears, and tried to calm himself down. A cloud of heat spread out from his back and swam all over his body.

After checking it, Lao Dao said, "The injury is basically healed, and it can be healed in a few days of cultivation." ”

Yang Congyi was puzzled, he didn't see that it was difficult for him to even move before the old Dao, and his injuries were all healed in a few hours, which was too unscientific, so he asked, "Dao Chief, is my injury really healed?" Don't you need to take any medicine? ”

Lao Dao replied, "Who said you don't need to take medicine?" The poor road just breaks up the blood congestion all over your body, straightens out the meridians, and the internal injuries are almost over, but your skin injuries are not supplemented by medicinal stones, and tomorrow the poor road will find a way to let them heal you. ”

Yang Congyi heard the old Taoist say this, it was easy to accept it, the old Taoist exercise, just like acupuncture is an effect, after the needle is pierced, you still have to take medicine, you can cure the disease without taking medicine Yes, it must be a liar.

Lao Dao pressed the retracted palm on Yang Congyi's back again, and said, "Now that Poor Dao will teach you the method of exercising gong, you can experience it carefully and keep it in mind." After speaking, he guided the true qi in Yang Congyi's body to rise from the soles of his feet, slowly gathered in the dantian, and then scattered all over the body in the seven meridians and eight veins, and then gathered in the dantian and then dispersed, and so on.

After the exercise stopped, Lao Dao asked, "Can you remember the exercise method?" ”

Although Yang Congyi didn't know how to gather the hot gas in his body, he already knew the trajectory of this hot gas, so he replied, "Remember." I just don't know where the hot gas went after the Taoist chief stopped. ”

Lao Dao smiled, "It's not difficult to find it, as long as you practice the Five Dragons Hibernation Method taught by the Poor Dao, it will naturally appear." ”

Yang Congyi replied guiltily, "Dao Chief, it was too noisy before, I didn't hear the mantra clearly. ”

The old Taoist said, "It's okay, it's the same for passing on your mantra in the future, now I'll tell you how to practice and remember it well." As he spoke, he whispered the practice method to Yang Congyi, and only after Yang Congyi nodded that he remembered it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Yang Congyi savored it, he asked, "Dao Chief, isn't this the breathing and breathing technique?" How is it so mysterious. ”

Lao Dao glared and said, "Who told you that it's simple, this secret method is very difficult to practice, and if you don't have the opportunity, you can't practice it at all." The secret method mantra has long been passed down in the world, but since Chen Tuan's ancestor, no one has been able to practice it, do you know why? ”

Yang Congyi shook his head, he really didn't know, he had never heard of it.

Lao Dao said, "Back then, the ancestor only left a secret method formula for the doorman, and he never returned. Later, the disciples of the sect found the practice method and the last instructions in the stone room where the ancestor cultivated, and warned the disciples that if they did not have the opportunity, they should not cultivate, otherwise they would not succeed at least and hurt their bodies at worst. ”

Yang Congyi was puzzled again, and asked, "Dao Chief, since it is dangerous to practice this secret method, why do you want me to practice it?" ”

Lao Dao replied, "I saw that your breath came and went when you were sleeping, and it was the best person to practice this secret method, so I decided to pass on your secret method for a while, and it was precisely because of your extraordinary qualifications that Poor Dao told you about these few hours and passed on your exercises." Do you understand now? ”

Only then did Yang Congyi understand that after turning around, Lao Dao wanted to pass on the secret method left by his ancestor, and he picked up a master for nothing, and Lao Dao picked up an apprentice for nothing, which was really fate. Then he replied, "The disciple understands, he must practice diligently and strive to achieve success as soon as possible." ”

Lao Dao yawned, waved his hand and closed his eyes to lie down, and then said, "Okay, go to sleep, and treat your injuries tomorrow." It wasn't long before he started snoring.

Yang Congyi was still immersed in excitement, after meeting Lao Dao in this cell, not only did someone want to help him redress his grievances, but also got the secret method, and with the organization, he would not be alone when he went out in the future, he was really excited to think about it, and he could only sleep this night.

Even if you are excited, there are times when your mood calms down, and it is because of the good news. When he fell asleep, he didn't know, the peace of mind and tranquility that he had never had for so many days made this sleep very fragrant and heavy, empty to the point that there was nothing in his heart, clear and bright.

When Yang Congyi woke up, the sky was already bright, and the whole prison was also extremely noisy, which was a situation that had never been seen since he was imprisoned, curiosity seduced him and was about to get up to take a look, Lao Dao appeared in front of him in time, pressed him lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't move, continue to pretend to be dead, heal your wounds today, and refine your meridian bones by the way." ”

Yang Congyi didn't know what Lao Dao was going to do, but he didn't move, just like before, as if he was asleep. After a chaotic voice, a jailer said, "Dao Chief, can you really save this prisoner?" I think he's out of breath. ”

Lao Dao replied, "It doesn't matter to me if I'm dead, when Poor Dao came in yesterday, he just wanted to die." Poor Dao is most afraid of being in the same room with the dead, God has the virtue of a good life, and Poor Dao will try to use his means to see if he can let him stay a breath. ”

The cell boss hurriedly said, "One breath is not enough, and when the court reviews it, it will take three months, if he dies of illness early, we will be guilty." Daoist, you should be kind enough to revive him, so that we can send him away in peace, and besides, it is unlucky to die in prison after all. ”

Lao Dao stroked his beard, "Poor Dao does his best, whether he can be saved or not, it depends on whether God lets him live." Have you brought in the wooden barrel and hot water and put it away, so that you have all the medicinal herbs you have prepared? ”

The cell leader said, "Qi, Qi, all of them are ordinary medicinal materials." ”

Lao Dao instructed, "Put the medicinal herbs in a wooden barrel, pour hot water into it, and you can go back to rest, don't disturb the poor Dao." ”

The jailers followed the words, and after some busy work, they locked the cell door, "Dao Chief, we are waiting for your good news." After saying that, they went out with trepidation, the prison was too dark and damp, and the temperature was so bad that they didn't want to stay a little longer.

After seeing that the jailers were leaving, Lao Dao quietly took out a small gourd from his arms, poured out a pill and threw it into the bucket, and then melted it in hot water. After putting away the little gourd, he took off Yang Congyi's dirty coat, put him into the wooden barrel, and then whispered to him, "This water has turned into a golden elixir, you can soak in the water with peace of mind, and wait for a while to guide you to exercise your luck and bring out the effect of the elixir." ”

Yang Congyi nodded slightly, the water was a little hot, but he could hold on. After a few thoughts, two balls of hot air rose from the soles of the feet and converged in the dantian. He knew that it was Lao Dao who began to guide him to exercise, so he quickly relaxed his whole body, and let Lao Dao guide the flow of qi in his body, and between gathering and dispersing, the medicinal power of Jin Dan also spread throughout the meridians around his body.

The medicinal stone is supplemented by Taoist true qi, the effect of cutting hair and washing the marrow is wonderful, Taoism is good at alchemy, some pills have a significant effect, and it is not a problem to treat diseases and injuries. Lao Dao cultivates humanity, he is not good at alchemy, his pills are all from the same brother and sister, he knows the preciousness, using one, it really makes him feel a little distressed, but for the sake of the mountain gate, the cost will be broken.

Half an hour later, the water in the wooden barrel was completely cold, Lao Dao collected his strength, and whispered to Yang Congyi, "Your external injury is fine, and the meridians in your body have also been cleansed, you should be able to feel the internal breath, try it yourself." ”

Yang Congyi was overjoyed when he heard this, now not only the injury is healed, but even the internal strength is there, it is simply a blessing in disguise, he can't wait to try his internal strength, so according to the old Taoist teaching his exercise method, mobilize the internal breath in the body, it is also strange to say, there is no assistance from the old Tao before, how can I not feel the internal breath, at this time the heart moved, I can actually feel the feet slightly hot, with the urge of the mind to slowly gather upward, until the dantian, and then scatter to the body, and then converge and disperse, so circular, the whole body is comfortable, The first time he manipulated the inner breath operation made him extremely excited, and he didn't want to stop at all.

Generally speaking, people like him who have never practiced the inner family exercises, the internal breath is like air, it can't be grasped or touched, and there is no way to control it, and the external breath is even more uncontrollable. However, after several exercises, the old Tao has opened up Yang Congyi's meridians, and guided the internal breath in his body to run many times, all the nodes have been fixed, the place where the internal breath can pass is passed, and the place where it can't be passed is turned, and the internal breath operation has become a cycle, there is no danger at all, and it has become easy to practice.

Seeing that Yang Congyi's face was full of excitement that he couldn't hide, and knew that he had mastered the operation method, he stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing to exercise, and said in a low voice, "Don't practice yet, there is a sentence, Poor Dao must tell you." My Taoism has always emphasized the harmony of heaven, earth and man, not forced, nor compromised, everything goes with the flow, along with the right road has a day, and if it is against it, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. This shun word, shun is the original heart, the heart is the original view of everything after removing the shackles of all desires and selfish desires. If you go against your heart and incur God's wrath, no one will be able to save you. Remember, remember. ”

Yang Congyi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Eliminate selfish desires, can't you even have a little bit of your own desires?" What's the point of being alive? ”

Lao Dao slapped Yang Congyi on the head, "It's really unenlightened, can your little desire make heaven, earth and man disharmony?" It is a matter of three major events, and you must follow your heart, and the rest will be done by yourself. Because you yourself have an extraordinary background and are an extraordinary person, so the poor Dao carefully warned you, if you change to other disciples, who can make the three realms disharmonious? Poor people don't bother to bother. ”

After listening to this explanation, Yang Congyi's hanging heart relaxed. assured Lao Dao, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, I am naturally kind-hearted, how could I do something that makes the three Dao discordant, and besides, I just want to do it, and I don't have the ability." Don't worry about me, Chief. ”

Lao Dao stared at him for a moment, and then said, "That's good. Get up, almost. ”

Yang Congyi stood up slowly, stepped out of the barrel, and didn't feel the slightest pain all over his body, Lao Dao was right, his injuries were actually healed by him overnight, Lao Dao is really a living immortal. He couldn't help but bow down again, but Lao Dao turned around and called the jailer, didn't notice him at all, let alone worshipped, and restrained himself.

Lao Dao was imprisoned for stealing a chicken, and the crime was not serious, so he was released after ten days.

Before leaving, Lao Dao asked Yang Congyi to wait with peace of mind, and he would find someone to save him. Yang Congyi is reluctant to give up on Lao Dao, ten days of getting along, Lao Dao has become his elder, helping him heal his injuries, passing on his secret methods, teaching him to practice, he has not felt this kind of family-like warmth for a long time.

After Yang Congyi bid farewell to Lao Dao with tears in his eyes, in addition to practicing the Five Dragons Hibernation Method and Taoist Exercises passed on to him by Lao Dao every day, he was looking forward to the early appearance of the rescuers, help him clear his grievances, return his innocence and freedom, and go out as soon as possible.
