Chapter 333: Crossing the River
I was slightly stunned, thinking that the master is really the master, aside from feng shui, just in terms of looking at people, this person in front of me is also worthy of these two words, I haven't even started to say it, I have already seen that I can't get over it in my heart.
"I knew I wouldn't be wrong to come to you today, but I did encounter some problems recently, which made me feel very uncomfortable." Although strictly speaking, it is not very deep friendship, but how Master Wu says it is also a peer, some words will be much easier to say to him, such as asking now, it made me find the resonance at once, and I have the desire to talk.
"Well, you talk about the situation first, and I'll see if I can help you ease it when I'm done." Master Wu smiled and nodded.
And I ran to the county seat to contact him, although it seemed to be temporary, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe I was very eager to find someone to talk to in the depths of my consciousness, and he was undoubtedly the most suitable person in my hometown, so I decided to go out for a walk driven by this desire, and then came to the county seat without thinking.
If it comes, it will be safe, and it will not lose meat anyway, so he took a deep breath of cigarette and smiled, and after puffing the cigarette out of his nose, he began to speak.
Speaking of which, since I went down the mountain and went home, I haven't been idle, and I went to Guangdong to finalize the lifelong event, but in fact, I haven't talked to anyone yet, not even Zhang Xiaowei, who will become a legal wife soon. It's not that I have nothing to say to the most important people in my life, in fact, it's not like this at all, but it's useless to say something to them, and it's true that the little daughter-in-law is becoming more and more understanding and considerate, no matter what I say, whether she understands it or not, I will do my best to understand me and don't doubt it, but in the end, after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, even if she and her parents try their best to understand me, there is still something missing, and I don't want to increase their psychological burden because of these bad things, So naturally there is no need to say it.
The person who knows me best is undoubtedly the old man, but his intentions are obvious, and I don't want to rely on him for everything, I want to take this last step by myself, so naturally I can't talk to him.
In this way, the most suitable person is only the one in front of you.
It doesn't matter if I can describe it accurately, whether Master Wu can really understand it, and whether he can help me solve the problem, the important thing is that I can find someone who resonates with this aspect and pour out what I want to say.
Sometimes, it feels like this thing is so wonderful, indescribable, unclear, but you can clearly know what you want.
After more than half a year, I finally found the "qi" that is crucial to painting spirits. This so-called breath of qi, before I found it, or I didn't realize it, I felt that it was mysterious and mysterious, but it really suddenly became clear, in fact, it was just like that, a very ordinary thing, the old man told me the real past of those painting spirit schools, and he talked about it more than once or twice, and he said it clearly, but at that time, I had not experienced the stage of meditation, thinking and examining myself, even if he said it clearly, he was always just playing the piano to the cow, and I could only understand it on the surface, Can't really understand.
To sum up, that tone is actually very simple, nothing more than the word fearless.
It is the same as the Taoist charm, and the real painting technique is also "Ling", but it is much more domineering, with its own blood as a guide, and the brush in its hand as a recommendation, giving orders to the heavens, hells, ghosts and gods. And all things in heaven and earth can be collected in the painting, so theoretically, as long as the "qi" of the painting spirit is enough, everything in heaven and earth can be ordered.
With the body of a mortal and the heart of a mortal, it is so difficult to be fearless of ghosts, gods, people and spirits, to know all things in your mind without fear, and to know it with your feet. It is not difficult for a person to imagine that he is omnipotent, standing above the heavens, and is not afraid of all things in the heavens and the earth, as long as he can think and dare to think, anyway, the world is the biggest, my world is my master, as long as the brain can still move, no one can stop you from being YY crazy.
But YY is always happy, reality is always sad, if you want to turn fantasy into reality, really have the spirit of fearlessness and fearlessness of all things, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
After figuring out the key to the "breath" of painting the spirit man, I became a YY maniac for a long time, indulging in the imaginary world every day, and wanted to cultivate that breath in this way, and give birth to a fearless and fearless spirit. I still don't know if the method is correct, but I know that there was a time when I almost went crazy and really became a "fearless" madman.
Until one day, I suddenly realized that just thinking like this would not help at all, and I still had to recognize myself well and combine reality to work, so I changed my method and started a new attempt, looking for a solution to shock the hundred ghosts outside the house and the evil veins underground without being able to draw a spiritual map and relying on the old man's action.
I don't know if this method is right, but compared with fantasy, this kind of attempt is obviously rewarding, at least in the hundred ghosts around the house, especially under the stimulation of an old ghost who is ready to move, and gradually figured out the true use of the bronze statue of the ancestor master, and the old man took away all the things he painted, except for the intention of leaving me the bronze statue, I gradually achieved that I was no longer afraid of them, and then I did it little by little, and I was no longer afraid of the environment that was not human at all.
The bronze statue of the ancestor is far more than just a thing that can be used to smash the head of the ghost, but it is a powerful thing that carries the will of the founding patriarch and the sum of the fearless and fearless spirit of the past generations.
The metamorphosis took place when I was truly fearless of the hundred ghosts, fearless of the black abyss that could not be seen under the grass hut, and was determined to solve all the problems and go home. The bronze statue of the ancestor is no longer just a demon that can be used to smash ghosts, but it has shown an unprecedented powerful suppressive power, and at the same time has given me a rich gift, so that the hellish place has returned to normal.
I finally found that breath, and I began to understand the mystery of drawing spirits, and after that, I only needed to transform that breath into the diagram and draw a real spirit map, so that I could complete the final step of transforming from a spirit painter apprentice to a spirit painter, and become a real spirit painter.
However, at first it seemed inconspicuous, and as soon as I crossed the past and there was the last ditch in front of me, I stopped a little and stopped moving forward.
I even felt a hint of inexplicable fear.
At first, this fear did not exist. The reason why I went home, I relaxed on the surface, and never started to draw a picture, to test what the meaning is different from before, in addition to taking a certain amount of time to get used to this feeling, the main reason is that I already know that the real spiritual map needs to transform and integrate the qi of the painting spirit person into everything related to the spiritual map, and integrate it into every drop of ink and every inch of rice paper, all in one go, never dragging mud and water, like I used to slowly swallow the painting one stroke at a time, and even sometimes stop halfway through the painting, The way of drawing that continues after that is simply wrong is completely wrong, and the real spiritual map must not be drawn like this. So I didn't move my pen for a long time, and put out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and meditated in meditation every day, just to take advantage of the impulse that I hadn't started to write for a long time, and my heart was already eager to draw, to prepare for the moment when I finally picked up the ink ingot and studied the ink to draw, and kept copying in my mind, I was ready to use it to break through the last barrier, for Xiao Qinghe's changed Yin Diagram, and the old man's technique when he first drew the Tianguan Diagram, and that frightening, as if the throat was choked a little bit, one stroke after another, and the fierce momentum that continued to climb.
Until I find that feeling, and I have enough confidence that I can do it in one go, I will never pick up the pen easily, and I can't pick up the pen easily. Otherwise, once the strong desire and momentum to draw a picture that has been brewing for so long has been dissipated due to failure, and the heart is frustrated, I don't know how long it will take to reunite.
The old man naturally knew what I was doing, so that since he didn't say anything, he proved that the method I had used was not wrong, if not entirely correct, and it made me even more determined to use this method to take the last step.
However, what I didn't expect was that just when I couldn't pick up the pen to draw because the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were right in front of me, and it became more and more difficult to suppress the restlessness of the desire that was increasing every day, there was no reason, but like a maggot on the tarsal bone, the fear that would never go away once it came out also appeared.
I still can't figure out what I'm afraid of, but I know that I'm scared, and I'm getting more and more afraid. At the same time, the desire to pick up the pen and draw the picture that I deliberately cultivated at the beginning has grown to a terrible point, as long as I see the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there seems to be a voice in my heart that is constantly seduceing me, let me quickly pick up the pen and draw, don't be aggrieved anymore, and don't worry about hesitation.
If that haunting fear hadn't appeared, I had estimated at the beginning that the final moment would have come once the longing of my heart had reached a point where I could no longer restrain it.
But it was precisely because of this fear that my plan was seriously deviated, and the moment that had been brewing for a long time was close at hand, and when it was about to come, there was hesitation, and even fear of avoidance. The more you don't want to face that moment, the more violent the feeling that a long-standing volcano is about to erupt; The more menacing this feeling is, the more frightened I feel in my heart, which is calm on the surface, but in fact I am at war with heaven and man every minute and every second, and the waves are turbulent and tormented all the time.
Just yesterday, the desperate desire to draw finally reached its peak, and for a moment, I even wanted to give up this useless resistance, anyway, this is the moment I have been waiting for a long time, there is nothing to hesitate.
It wasn't until his fingertips were about to touch the pen in front of him that he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly used all his strength to pull it on the back of his hand, pressing down the volcano that was about to erupt again, and leaving the room as if he were fleeing.
Since then, I have never dared to go back to my room, and I have never dared to look at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the lazy table, and even when I go to bed at night, I ask my mother to help me put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put it in their room before daring to enter......
"Fear of the unknown?" Out of the cautious nature cultivated under the influence of the old man for many years, I naturally will not tell Master Wu all the feelings in my heart and the key points where I will not easily tell others about the spirit painting, and even if I can say it, I may not be able to describe it very clearly, but fortunately, Master Wu is not an ordinary mediocre person, so although I said it a little vaguely, he still probably understood, so he patiently waited for me to finish babbling, frowned slightly and was silent for a while, and then looked at the back of my right hand that was still red and swollen.
"Yes, so I'm very distressed now, while trying to complete this last step, so that the people who care about me can rest assured, and I can return to the normal rhythm of life, after all, there are still many things waiting for me to do, and it is not a way to drag it out like this, but on the other hand, I am full of fear for this last step that I have been waiting for for a long time." I shook my head lightly and smiled bitterly, and said, "If you know what you are afraid of, forget it, find a way to solve it, even if you can't solve it, you can still get around, but the key is that I don't even know what I am afraid of." ”
"So not only yourself, but your master and all your family members also want you to complete the last step as soon as possible, right?" After a moment of silence, Master Wu looked at me and said, "Since it is the result that everyone wants to see, why can't we stop thinking so much and take this step first?" I don't know much about your spiritual painting, and I haven't even heard of it before you, but I can't find the reason for the fear of this thing, everyone actually has it to a greater or lesser extent, and it's generally similar, sometimes it's okay not to think about it, but once you think about it, it really becomes a thing. And listening to you, my brother thinks that your current situation is like crossing a strange river, I want to cross the river, but I am afraid that the river is too deep, and I am worried that once I pull up my pants and go to the water, I will be washed away by the water. ”
I frowned and didn't speak.
Although what Master Wu said sounds reasonable, my current situation is not just a fear that the river is too fast and too deep.
Seeing my expression, Master Wu immediately knew that the direction he had guessed was not correct, so he also fell silent.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly condensed slightly, and he looked at me and asked, "You shouldn't be worried about the other side of the river, right?" ”
