Chapter 68: Gu Master Arrives
Faced with the situation that all parties gathered in Fengcheng, Lin Mo didn't have the heart to sleep now, last night Deng Shan and the news used to trade, but it made Lin Mo's heart moved, no matter how you think about the treasures of the Dry Fish Sealed Land, they will not be ordinary things, in Lin Mo's eyes, money may not be able to buy this kind of treasure, but this kind of treasure represents a lot of money.
You must know that there are always four major conditions for cultivation, which in Taoist terms: law, couple, wealth, and land.
Fa: It is the teaching of the Fa, the method, which generally refers to the cultivation and inheritance, the Tao has high and low, and the Fa is good or bad.
Couples: Fellow initiates, Taoist friends, it is not feasible to cultivate all the way by relying on closed doors, "The Book of Rites" says: If you learn alone and have no friends, you will be lonely and unheard.
Wealth: refers to the economic conditions, in the initial stage of cultivation, you should devote your mind and time to cultivation to the greatest extent, and correspondingly there will be no more time to treat life. In the later stage, more genius earth treasures are needed, and if there is no certain material foundation, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. The ancients said: No wealth is not enough to cultivate the Tao, which is exactly this truth.
Land: A place for cultivation, the Buddha has a Buddhist temple, the Tao has a dojo, and the monks also need a place to stand, with no tiles on the top of their heads, and no half-foot pillow under their feet, so how to talk about cultivation, not all monks are as unique as ascetics.
Today's Lin Mo, there are four kinds of wealth and land, only accounting for two, one is the law, two places, the law of the mirror master is naturally unusual, and the teahouse can also be used as Lin Mo's shelter, although it is not a fairy treasure land, but this has little impact on Lin Mo, and the remaining two Lin Mo does not have.
He cultivates cause and effect, except for the mirror master in the world, it is also rare, but therefore there is no need to deliberately seek, all things in the red and earthly world, whether it is gods and ghosts, or people, animals, grass and plants, or even a gust of wind blowing, there will be countless cause and effect connections, and they are involved in each other, which leads to the cycle of life and death, all things are born and destroyed, and all people and things are mirror masters and Taoists.
The buds grow in spring, the leaves are full in summer, the wind blows the leaves, and the yellow leaves return to the roots, which is also a karmic rotation, which can be a teacher or a friend, and does not need to be confined to one person.
It's just that Lin Mo hasn't opened the Suzhou World Mirror now, so if he wants to reach that point, it is not realistic to rely on himself, but it is not a few days before the Midyear Festival, and Lin Mo is not in a hurry about it.
The last one - money, Lin Mo is very lacking in this thing, it takes money to build a teahouse, it takes money to eat and drink tea, it takes money to buy dried fish for Xiaohei, and it takes money to buy various materials and treasures, and now there is an extra mouth in the teahouse, Su Ying, who likes to blackmail himself, Lin Mo feels very headache.
You look at other people's Buddhism, it's okay to shave your head, stay in the temple, chant scriptures, talk about Zen, occasionally sit on a few rituals, send a few small novices to greet pilgrims, just by selling incense to add a rich entry to the temple, but the monks of Buddhism don't need to do anything to make money, as long as they practice their own Zen with peace of mind, all the cultivation needs are provided by a disciple, of course, they also need to pay a price, out of the big devil, now do evil ghosts, they also need to take action, It's actually a business.
And Taoism is the same, the Heavenly Master Dao, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, in addition, there are countless sects of all sizes, catching ghosts, drawing talismans, and Feng Shui, which is not a huge source of wealth, but if it is a layman, looking for someone to do things, don't be gullible, the cost here is not a small amount.
And the disciples of the north, the wild immortals, the corpse fishers in the Yellow River, the Miao Jiang Gu technique in the south, and the corpse in Xiangxi are all self-contained, with their own inheritance for thousands of years, in this era of information explosion, it is not easy to leave a legacy, after all, many people do not believe in the existence of this kind of thing, let alone want to learn, even if they have the heart to learn, it is estimated that eighty percent will encounter scammers, and in the end it will be a waste of money and time, which is not cost-effective.
The Buddha says cause and effect, Taoism talks about fate, many things have their own fixed number in the dark, the so-called fixed number is not a heavenly determination, but the cause of character, the opportunity appears in front of you, but you can't see it, you can't grasp it, then you have no chance, this is the so-called fixed number, the fixed number is not unchangeable, every choice, every practice, and even every transformation will lead to different results, this result is also the so-called fixed number.
The reason why it is difficult to change the fixed number many times is because your character, temperament, and way of doing things have long formed a stereotype, which is difficult to change, and you will deal with anyone or things according to your own habits, which is a behavior pattern that you set for yourself, and it has formed a causal formula, if there is no external interference, then the fixed number will be a fixed number, if there are other people involved in interference, then this fixed number will become unknown, how much can be changed, It depends on the extent of the causal impact of the intervening person.
Plant a grain of millet in spring, this is the cause, the autumn harvest of 10,000 seeds is the fruit, but the fruit is not only this one, the autumn harvest of a thousand seeds, a hundred seeds, ten seeds, and even a grain without harvest may be a fruit, wind, frost, rain and dew, sunlight and moonlight, and even a small animal that occasionally appears in the field, will become a part of this cause and effect, and have an impact on the final fruit.
If you have time, pour a cup of tea and think about it carefully, maybe you will get something.
However, the recent Fengcheng, it really makes Lin Mo a little disliked, the original Fengcheng already has an inherent order, there is no novelty in all directions, occasionally a few little ghosts come out, add a little excitement to everyone, find a little trouble, it can be regarded as the joy of life, but for salted fish, the least favorite thing should be that their lives are forced to change the rhythm, especially now, I don't know how many foreign forces have entered Fengcheng, and the long-term stability is now facing a reshuffle, By the time the drought was broken, this maple city didn't know what it would become.
The clear sky outside the window slowly became gloomy, and I couldn't sleep, and naturally I didn't have the interest in basking in the sun on a cloudy day.
The raindrops fell sparsely from the sky, driving the pedestrians without umbrellas to run around, thundering and bursting, the raindrops became more dense, and the blows broke into countless finer droplets on the bluestone slab, which were sprinkled quietly and disappeared.
At the airport in Maple City, from a plane that had just landed, a strangely dressed person walked down, this person was wearing a large and thick trench coat in the summer, his whole face was covered by the big hat of the trench coat, and he was carrying a dark travel bag, I don't know what was in it.
"Let's go."
The strange man walked next to a person who was holding a sign with the words "Mr. Liao" written on it, and the man looked at the strange man for a moment, and didn't react for a while.
"You, are you Mr. Liao?"
After reacting, the man hurriedly reached out to take the travel bag from the stranger's hand, but was dodged by the stranger.
"No, let's go!"
Seeing this Mr. Liao act like this, the man naturally didn't say much, and took that Mr. Liao to a car, and opened the door, this Mr. Liao was very strange, even if he got in the car, he didn't mean to take off the windbreaker, and the big travel bag was also placed next to him, as if there was something very important in this travel bag.
The rain fell, wetting the windows to form a new barrier, in this situation, the space in the car seemed to become more cramped, but such an environment seemed to make the strange man relax a lot, the hand holding the travel bag let go, straightened out the hat, leaned back in the chair, the driver looked at this strange Mr. Liao from the rearview mirror, but this Mr. Liao blocked his whole body very tightly, if it wasn't for the sound, maybe even men and women didn't know.
Just glanced at a few times, the driver felt that Mr. Liao, who was sitting in the back seat, slowly raised his head, a pair of weird eyes leaked out from under the windbreaker, and met the driver's eyes through the rearview mirror, what kind of eyes were they, no emotion, no mood fluctuations, looking at the driver was like a beast in the jungle saw the food that automatically came to the door, calm with a trace of greed, which made the driver tremble, almost stepped on the brakes, panicked for a few seconds, quickly calmed down, and the car just shook.
The person behind didn't make any sound, and it seemed that he didn't care about the driver's actions at all, but the driver's forehead was covered with cold sweat, drip down the sideburns, his eyes were looking ahead, and he wanted to look up several times to check the situation of the person in the back row from the rearview mirror, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to make any moves, he was afraid that he would meet those terrible eyes again, but the feeling on his body made his scalp numb, and it was a feeling of being targeted by a beast.
"Liao, Mr. Liao, do you drink water?"
The driver still didn't hold back, casually made an excuse, turned his head and asked, hurriedly raised his eyes and glanced at the Mr. Liao, the driver breathed a sigh of relief, this Mr. Liao did not look at himself, but lowered his head and didn't know what he was doing, the strange man didn't pay attention to him, the driver didn't care, put the water in the middle of the seat, signaled that Mr. Liao could take it by himself, the driver then refocused on driving, this time he didn't look at the weird man in the back row, anyway, as long as he didn't stare at himself.
But what the driver didn't know was that after he turned around, the person he called Mr. Liao slowly raised his head, looked at the driver's back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and where he just looked down, there was a small spider that was jumping from his pants to the leather seat, and then followed the chair, slowly came to the driver's clothes, and finally stopped on the driver's collar, shrunk into a small ball, and did not attract the driver's attention.
Looking at the raindrops outside the window, the strange man did not continue to pay attention to the driver, this driver was about to become a dead man in the near future, there was no need to pay attention, this strange man surnamed Liao, now he was more concerned about another thing, he also came to Fengcheng for this matter, and his Gu was solved.
"Zhang Fengnian, Zhang Fengnian, you should have met some master, but I don't know, he can save you, can he save himself!"
The strange man surnamed Liao thought about it, and suddenly laughed, the laughter was a little hoarse, echoing in the carriage and making people's hearts tremble, the driver did not look back, but changed gears, and the speed sped up a few points, and quickly disappeared into the rain.
What should come will always come...
