Chapter 27: The Secret Sutra of Taiyin

As soon as I saw the door, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said with a look of hope: "Master, let's learn the Yin Thunder Finger, the one that can discharge electricity with a little stretch of hand." ”

Because the Yin Thunder Finger impressed me too deeply, with a gentle wave of his hand, one thunder and lightning after another were summoned, if this trick was learned, it was not an ordinary.

When I learn this trick and go down the mountain, I'm looking for Tiezhu and Erdan to play with them, and when the time comes, I will also have the capital to brag.

Think about it, when I waved my big hand, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder was rolling, and lightning fell out of thin air.

"Tiezhu, Erdan, you can see it, when Brother Xi and I learn the ability to go down the mountain, we don't need to catch fish with nets when we go to Xiaowanzi, let's just switch to thunder splitting, don't even use fire, just chop it and eat it, hehehe."

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I couldn't help but feel proud, of course, I can't be blamed for this, after all, I'm still a child, and who doesn't have a little vanity in my heart.

When the old man saw that I was immersed in a sweet dream and couldn't extricate myself, he kicked me and scolded me with a smile: "What kind of daydream is the boy? I want to learn the Yin Thunder Finger at the beginning, it's really greedy and not enough to swallow the elephant, to tell you, it's still early to learn the Yin Thunder Finger, now it's better to learn how to raise your spirits. ”

"What is the cultivation of the gods?" I was stunned for a moment and asked.

The old man said lightly: "The so-called nourishing the gods is the key to my Taoist health, there are clouds in ancient times, the gods are nourished by the Taishang, and the second is the cultivation of the form, and the body and mind are one, then it is the true god, the heart is clear, the desire is few, the spirit is quiet, the shape is calm, the essence is fixed, and the qi is ......."

"Okay, you don't want to be crepe, I don't understand, speaking in the vernacular, what does it mean to nourish your spirits?"

As soon as I saw the old man running the train with his mouth full of words, and dragged the Chinese again, I heard that I was in a fog, and I didn't understand the last sentence, so I hurriedly stopped him from going on.

The old man was extremely unhappy with my interruption of his speech, shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, cultivating the mind is to calm the mind, concentrate the mind, concentrate on one point with a high degree of concentration, eliminate the distracting thoughts in the heart, and finally reach the state of unity of the mind and spirit. ”

As soon as he said this, I also understood that cultivating one's mind is nothing more than calming down, guarding one's mind, and not thinking about messy things in one's heart.

I glanced at the old man, I couldn't help but be a little funny, this old man opened his mouth and closed his mouth, meditating and recuperating, he reads the little yellow book every day, and can also calm down to recuperate? I'm a little skeptical.

"Master, then how should I raise my spirits?" I decided, take one step at a time, and learn how to nourish my spirit.

But that yin thunder means that I have to learn sooner or later, this is a nirvana stunt, if I learn this trick, even if I go to Xiaowanzi, I won't be afraid of it if I meet that little female ghost again.

If it's fighting with me, it's not as simple as smashing it with a stone, this time the master's tricks have been upgraded, and he has switched to thunder.

"You wait for the teacher, I'll go get something." The old man dropped a sentence without a clue, turned around and walked into the Taoist temple.

After a while, he walked back with a small wooden box in both hands.

When I saw it, this wooden box was the one he was holding on the second floor in a daze.

The old man put the wooden box on the ground, opened it gently, and took out a yellowed book from it and handed it to me.

"This book is the foundation of our immortal dao inheritance, and today I will hand it over to you for the teacher, you must keep it well, and there must be no mistakes, do you understand?" The old man spoke to me with a cautious face.

"I understand." I took the book, and I was overjoyed, and I thought it couldn't be some peerless cheats or something.

At this time, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the big banyan tree, and said to me, "You sit under the big banyan tree, meditate according to the book, and if you don't understand anything, come and ask me again." ”

After speaking, the old man stopped caring about me, hummed a little song, and walked into the Taoist temple leisurely.

After the old man left, I took the yellowed book in both hands and looked at it carefully.

The book seems to be some years old, and the surface has obviously been groped for a long time, and it has been polished.

And the cover is actually made of animal skin, why do I say that, because I found that there were still animal hair residues on the corner of the cover, which had not been cleaned up.

When I turned the first page, the first thing that caught my eye was four big words: "Taiyin Secret Sutra"

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of small characters were written in the lower left: "Those who want to seek the Tao should be based on loyalty and filial piety and Shun Ren Xin. ”

I didn't understand the meaning of these words for a long time, so I skipped them and continued to look down.

In this way, it took me half an hour to read this Taiyin Secret Sutra in a scribbled manner.

Although the content in it is also in classical Chinese, it has been annotated in vernacular after each sentence.

Although I still seem to be struggling, I can still understand the general meaning.

After reading this Taiyin Secret Sutra, I found that this book is full of some methods for cultivating the gods, the purpose of which is to teach you how to meditate and cultivate your spirit.

I originally thought that this book was put in a small box by the old man as a treasure, and there would definitely be some Taoist supernatural powers recorded in the book.

Unexpectedly, the content recorded in it has nothing to do with Taoism, let alone learning the mantra of Yin Lei Finger.

I sighed, feeling a little disappointed, so I closed my book and sat cross-legged in the shade of the big banyan tree.

On a hot afternoon, I sat down under the big banyan tree, and the sun didn't shine at all, but it was cool.

According to the method described in the book, I first sat upright, then closed my eyes slightly, put my hands between my legs, crossed my two thumbs at the tiger's mouth, and formed a Taiji diagram shape in my hands.

According to the Taiyin Secret Sutra, the two hands are one yin and one yang, which means negative yin and yang, so the shape of my hands is also called "pinching" or "holding the seal".

When my hands are pinched together, the two qi of yin and yang are naturally connected, and after the qi of yin and yang is combined, a closed aura will be formed immediately, so that the mood can quickly calm down and achieve the purpose of concentration.

I followed this method and tried to close my eyes and meditate for a while, and then I felt a faint heat and swelling in my hands, which was a wonderful feeling.

After sitting on a stick of incense, I gradually entered the state unconsciously.

At this time, the sound of my breathing also became longer and longer as I settled.

Listening to the rustling sound of the branches and leaves of the banyan tree, and feeling the fresh air in the valley, my body and mind were refreshed, and my brain was empty like never before.

Gradually, gradually, I was immersed in this wonderful feeling and couldn't help myself.

It was one of my meditations, and when I woke up the sun had set.

I was shocked that I had not been able to sit under the big banyan tree for a whole afternoon.

And, to my surprise, after sitting for so long, I didn't feel the slightest bit tired, but instead felt my brain was quick, and my whole body was refreshed like never before.

At this time, when the old man saw that I was awake, he beckoned me and told me to enter the Taoist temple for dinner.

I went down the hall and leaned over to a chair and looked at the food on the table.

The rice is yellow rice, and there is only a small plate of fried shiitake mushrooms, but unfortunately, there is not even a little shredded meat in the dish.

"Master, let's eat this for dinner?" I asked, gesturing at the table.
