Chapter Forty-Eight: My Heart, My Wish, My Own Way
No matter which school or sect it is, there is always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed on the road of cultivation, and that is the clichΓ© "Dao Heart".
Some people say that the heart of the Tao is the ordinary heart, an ordinary heart, and some people think that the heart of heaven is my heart......
There are a thousand monks, and there are a thousand answers to this question.
In Lin Yi's view, the foundation of the Taoist heart lies in eight words, "no clear conscience, no hindrance". He stole the Black Water True Method from Jiao Fei, so he tried to make up for it a little to apologize. Whether it is to secretly protect Jiao Fei from Chang'an City to the Huaihe River, or to give five yin bags, it is all a peace of mind.
"I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the kind of fanatic who thinks everything in the world is his own. My heart is my will, and I do my own thing. β
Lin Yi gently brushed away a layer of fog in his heart, and devoted his attention to the specific cultivation process of the Black Water True Method.
Time slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten days later.
On this day, Jiao Fei was concentrating and cultivating in the cave.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "banging" water from the entrance of the cave. It was as if some person or animal had come out of the Huai River.
Jiao Fei opened his eyes, stood up, stretched out his hand to pull up the Hun Tian Banner inserted on the side, and with the other hand, he secretly clasped the five yin pouches, and walked towards the outside of the cave.
A violent cough was heard.
Jiao Fei took a closer look, and saw a tall bearded old man standing at the entrance of the cave, wearing a gray robe.
This old Taoist priest is nine feet tall, and there is a fierce aura on his face, which looks more like a peerless fierce general on the battlefield, capturing the flag and breaking through thousands of troops, not at all like a monk.
The bearded old man had already noticed that there were people in the cave, and after seeing Jiao Fei holding the Heavenly Banner, he asked directly: "It turned out to be the junior of Heshan Dao, who is your master?" β
Jiao Fei's mind was in a hurry, he found a copy in the Wuyin bag, which was the cultivation notes of Wang Daoyuan, a disciple of Heshan Dao, which contained the words "Teacher Yao Kaishan", and immediately said boldly: "Family Master Yao Kaishan, I don't know what the predecessors called?" β
When the bearded old man heard this, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be the apprentice grandson of Feng Jiu." Old Dao Ma Jiulong, I have a little friendship with your Heshan Dao patriarch. This time, he was injured by a great enemy and was forced to escape into the Huai River. β
Jiao Fei naturally didn't know that the Heshan Dao sect had been established for more than 400 years, and the patriarch of the founding sect had passed away more than 300 years ago.
This Ma Jiulong can know the founding patriarch of Heshan Road, and he is at least more than 300 years old. can live for more than 300 years, even if he has not yet refined immortality, he is also a great character.
"The younger generation only lives here for a few days, if you always see it, I will give it to you." Jiao Fei said very respectfully.
"What's so good about your hole, how can the old Tao take advantage of you." Ma Jiulong scolded with a smile.
After the two chatted a few more words, Ma Jiulong had a heroic personality, Jiao Fei was smart and clever, one old and one young, and soon they had nothing to talk about.
After Lin Yi, who was hidden in the shadows, saw this scene, he really felt a little unpredictable fate and inviolable providence in his heart.
According to the original trajectory, Jiao Fei escaped all the way out of Chang'an City, and after coming to the bank of the Huai River, he met Ma Jiulong, who was hiding from the enemy. Then he got half of the "Gourd Sword Technique" from Ma Jiulong's hands, and helped him successfully break the enemy, and the two have formed a friendship since then.
Now, after going around in a circle, it's turned back again.
Sure enough, half of the "Gourd Sword Technique" in Ma Jiulong's hand still failed to escape Jiao Fei's clutches.
After cultivating for more than half a month, Ma Jiulong said goodbye and left.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
More than three months passed quickly.
On this day, Jiao Fei walked out of the cave and stood quietly on the bank of the Huai River. Looking at the river flowing beneath his feet, a figure flashed before his eyes.
There is a teacher who led him into the Tao and taught the Tao, Lan Li, the Taoist; Meng Khotanzhu who waited for him to be kind and gave him the medical scriptures; There is a heroic personality and a free and easy Ma Jiulong ......
These people are all in a hurry, and they are constantly chasing for longevity.
The world is like a tide, people are like water, and only sigh for a few people.
The river is surging, and Jiao Fei's whole person seems to have been washed by the river, giving people a more pure, clear and natural feeling.
Suddenly, Jiao Fei took a step forward, and the cold river flooded his feet, followed by his knees, waist, neck, and finally swallowed the whole person.
"The true water essence in my body has long been saturated, but it has never been able to condense into Xuanming true water, and I have not been able to understand the trick until today."
"As the saying goes, a good swimmer drowns. But if you don't go into the water, how can you master the nature of the water? If you don't master the nature of water, how can you condense the Xuanming true water, which is known as the 'commander of ten thousand waters' and can command the mortal waters between heaven and earth. β
Jiao Fei was firm in his belief and walked towards the center of the Huai River step by step. Under the influence of the outside world, the true water essence in his body was surging, like a black dragon that wanted to break free from the shackles and fly to the nine heavens.
At this moment, a powerful undercurrent surged, rolling Jiao Fei into a whirlpool under the water, and a huge and incomparable amount of true water qi penetrated his body, setting off an endless turbulence.
Jiao Fei is not worried, confused, or afraid, and guards the little clarity of the spiritual platform.
It seemed to be a moment, and it seemed that a thousand years had passed, and Jiao Fei could only hear the sound of "whooshing" water in his body, like a river rushing in his body.
As soon as his mind moved, there was a layer of real water as black as ink, but as deep as the ocean, flowing freely on his skin.
Jiao Fei finally practiced the first layer of the True Inheritance of the Northern Sect of the Demon Gate, the Black Water True Method, and mastered the Xuanming True Water, which was known as the "Commander of Ten Thousand Waters", in the Seven Innate True Waters, and naturally obtained the magic power of water control.
Since then, stepping on rivers and lakes and seas has been like walking on the ground.
succeeded, not only Jiao Fei was happy, but also Lin Yi who was hidden on the side, in his sea of knowledge, "Galaxy True Scripture" began to deduce a new change again. It won't take long for the cultivation of the four turns of the jade liquid to begin.
On the other hand, it was said that Jiao Fei was a teenager after all, and after practicing the Xuanming True Water, he played in the water to his heart's content. On a whim, he relied on the magic power of water control and dived into the whirlpool at the bottom of the Huai River.
I didn't expect that under the whirlpool, there was an extremely wide space. One of the directions seems to be very deep, vaguely resembling a portal.
Jiao Fei was very surprised, separated the water, and groped for it. After swimming half a mile, I reached the portal.
There was no water in front of the door, only two doors were closed.
Jiao Fei pushed his hand, and the two doors separated left and right. He raised his legs and walked in, looked around, and saw that there was a lot of furniture in this water house, such as stone beds, stone tables, stone benches, stone chairs, and even pots and pans, just like a family.
There are also six or seven courtyards in front and back, which are very large, more magnificent than the mansions of large families, but there is no one at all.
This river heart water mansion is more than ten times stronger than the cave on the riverside, Jiao Fei liked it very much, so he stayed and continued to concentrate on cultivation.
