Chapter 4: Monasticism

The jade rabbit sank in the west, the golden crow was rising, and when the first rays of morning light shone on Mo Wen's face through the window lattice, he woke up.

"Whew...... Whose door will I be? Mo Wen looked around, and found that this was a very old house, only his bed on the big kang, the tables and chairs in the room were very bright, but the furniture connection was still exposed with whitish stubble, which was obviously made temporarily, and there was a "Dao" word written directly with a brush on the yellowed wall, which was magnificent.

"Ah, you're awake." Chang Jian pushed the door open at some point.

"Brother Chang......" Mo Wen knew where he was when he saw Chang Jian, but he really didn't know what to say at this time, and although he was happy at this time, he also had doubts - didn't Dao Xuan Zhenren not accept apprentices for many years.

However, Chang Jian didn't let the atmosphere go silent, looking at this somewhat wandering teenager, Chang Jian sighed lightly: "Little junior brother, don't be sad, we will be a family in the future." ā€

"Family?" Mo Wen suddenly felt a pain in his heart, "My family ......" [I have passed away a long time ago...... It's been more than thirty years. 怑

"Let's go." Chang Jian patted Mo Wen's shoulder, "I'll take you to meet Master, and you'll call me Senior Brother in the future." ā€

"Hmm."

After a while, Mo Wen followed Chang Jian here to the Yuqing Palace, but at this time, the hall was not as lively as it was that day, and there were only two lonely people.

"Master, the disciple brought Mo Wen." Chang Jian walked in front of Dao Xuan Zhen and said respectfully.

"Hmm." Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded, then looked at Mo and asked, "Child, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ā€

Even a real toddler should know how to do it at this time, Mo Wen immediately knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to Dao Xuan Zhenren, and then shouted, "Master." ā€

"Okay." Dao Xuan Zhenren stroked his long beard: "I have too many disciples of Tongtian Peak, so I won't introduce them to you one by one now, but there are two you should still recognize." This," Dao Xuan Zhenren pointed to the handsome young man standing on his left, "This is your second senior brother Xiao Yicai, and it is your senior brother Chang Jian who brought you over." ā€

"I've seen the senior brother and the second senior brother."

"Arrows." Dao Xuan Zhenren shouted: "He will hand it over to you first, the door rules and precepts, and the cultivation of the Dao Law, you need to teach carefully." ā€

"Master, the little junior brother is still young, this introductory disciple has ...... homework," Chang Jian said in a loud voice.

"Don't ask, can you endure hardship?" Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Mo Wen with a smile, but there was a faint light in his eyes.

"The disciple suffers." [I'm not a kid anymore. 怑

"Okay." Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter if the qualifications are a little worse, only this effort is enough, cultivation must not only be qualified, but also have a perseverance and perseverance Dao heart." ā€

[Poor qualifications? Don't ask the doubts in your heart. [Could it be that my good qualifications are just suitable for being a monk? This is too sad! 怑

"Okay, Chang Jian, you can take him down."

"The disciple retired."

……

"Little junior brother, are you used to living alone?" In front of the gate of Qingyun's disciple's residence, Chang Jian looked concerned, "Master hasn't accepted apprentices for a long time, is there any other room available, the room you live in is newly cleaned...... Why don't we change it? ā€

"I understand the kindness of the senior brother." Mo Wen smiled shyly, "I've been an orphan since I was a child, it's okay." ā€

"Don't push yourself too hard." Long Sword looked at his immature face and sighed, and then said, "After today's time, you don't need to do your homework, I'll teach you the rules and precepts first." ā€

"Hmm."

……

"Do you remember them all?" Chang Jian looked surprised.

"Remember, the first rule of the door, the first thing to respect the teacher...... Article 10 of the door rules ...... "Mo Wen recited the door rules that Chang Jian had just described in one breath, word for word.

"Good!" Chang Jian was also happy, "Then I will start to talk about the disciple's introductory homework, this introductory homework is different from my Qingyun Seven Veins, and my introductory homework for the Changmen disciple of Tongtian Peak is to go down the mountain to carry water every day." ā€

"Carrying water?" Mo Wen repeated it with some confusion.

"It's just carrying water." Chang Jian looked nostalgic, "Then pour the water into the pool where the 'Spirit Venerable' lives...... Use a special bucket, you are still young, pick it once a day for the first half of the year. ā€

Mo Wen thought for a moment, "What can that bucket be made of?" Or is it filled with more water? ā€

"You'll know if you try it." Chang Jian had a strange smile on his face.

Half an hour later, Chang Jian led Mo Wen back to his room, closed the door, and said to Mo Wen with a serious face: "Little junior brother, the secret method of this sect is broad and profound, and there are many outsiders who snoop, you have to make a heavy oath, after you finish your studies, if you are not a disciple of this sect, you will never pass it on to outsiders." ā€

[Pass it on to others? Are you kidding! Mo Wen raised his hand solemnly: "I don't swear to the sky, if I leak the secret of the Qingyun Sect Dao Law, I will be hit by five thunders, and I will not die." ā€

"Hmm." Chang Jian nodded with satisfaction and began to teach Mo Wen the cultivation method, and finally passed on all the mantras of the first three layers of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" to Mo Wen.

After speaking, Chang Jian cleared his throat and continued to advise: "The Tao is boundless, and the three-layer mantra is the essence of my Qingyun's "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao", and then most of the realm depends on personal practice. When you have reached the third level of mantra, you can go to the Tai Chi Cave in the back mountain to meditate with many senior brothers. ā€

"Well, I know, senior brother." Mo Q replied.

"Okay, then you can start trying to practice." Chang Jian turned around and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around: "Little junior brother, do you want to have lunch with me?" Most of the people in this peak eat their own food."

"No, I'm not hungry right now." Mo Wen shook his head and refused. "I know how to cook myself."

Chang Jian let out an "oh", and then admonished: "Little junior brother, the cultivation must have a solid foundation and be a camp step by step; Don't be greedy. ā€

"Got it." Mo Wen deliberately puffed up his face and sold cuteness: "I'm not a child." ā€

"Hehe, then I'll go first, remember to cook and eat by myself at night." Chang Jian didn't take Mo Wen's words to heart at all, and turned to leave.

[I'm not a child anymore! Mo Wen sighed secretly in his heart, called up his attributes, and found that his spirit had dropped to one star at some point, and he also had an additional state on his body:

Spiritual Silence Mantra: The Buddhist mantra under the power of the pure "Great Brahma Prajna" can suppress the spirit of the recipient, and can be dissolved by using the "Great Brahma Prajna" true method, and this mantra can last for 475 days now.

[Sure enough, it is the secret hand of Pu Zhi, it seems that I have also become a smoke bomb that Lin Jingyu generally uses to cover Zhang Xiaofan...... But it doesn't matter, just the price of learning "Great Brahmaprajna". Mo Wen took out the jade slip, and there were already two cultivation methods on it.

Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao (Seven Stars): Qingyunzi created the Taoist supreme true law from the nameless ancient scrolls, which combines rigidity and softness, and has the great power of the power of heaven and earth.

I have already obtained the two true methods, and the following goal is the five volumes of "Book of Heaven", Mo Wen's eyes are fixed, there are benefits of not being taken seriously, at least you can secretly practice "Dafa Prajna".

According to the secret method in the jade slip, Mo Wen slowly closed his eyes......

In the blink of an eye, it was night, Mo Wen opened his eyes, and when he looked at the state, the duration of the "Spiritual Silence Curse" had been reduced by thirty days, and after looking at it like this, within five days, Mo Wen was sure that the magic power left by Pu Zhi would be completely removed......

"However, before cultivating to the first layer of the 'Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao' Jade Qing Realm, you can't let the Dao Xuan Zhenren see it." Mo Wen whispered to himself: "It's time to take the opportunity to inquire about Master's schedule and rest time." ā€

Moved his legs, which were a little numb from sitting cross-legged (Mo Wen, who had not yet completed his cultivation, could not use his aura to activate the meridians of his body) Mo Wen was about to go to the kitchen to make something to eat by himself, but found that Chang Jian pushed the door in with the food.

"Little junior brother, you're up." Chang Jian put the food in his hand on the table, "I'm afraid you'll overcultivate, come, just eat in the room." ā€

"Thank you, brother." Mo Wen picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously, "If I have some doubts about my practice, where can I find Master?" ā€

"Master has been in retreat for the past few years, and it seems that he is hitting a bottleneck, and it is rare to see him once a year, if you have any questions, I will be." Chang Jian smiled confidently: "With my current cultivation, I can still point to you." ā€

"Then thank you first, senior brother, and I won't trouble you in the future." Mo Wen's eyes flashed. Since Dao Xuan Zhenren is going to retreat, then I should first focus on the Great Brahma Prajna and unravel the "Spiritual Silence Mantra" first.

"Eat slowly." Chang Jian looked at Mo who was gobbling up and smiled: "How about it, let's eat with us, our junior brother Fang's skills are very good." ā€

"Senior brother is kind, don't ask your heart." Mo Wen wiped his mouth: "How dare you trouble your senior brothers, I can cook by myself." ā€

"Stubborn child." Chang Jian shook his head and got up to go out: "Remember to take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them, I'll go first." ā€

"Hmm. Mo Wen stood up: "Senior brother, go slowly." ā€

After Chang Jian left, Mo Wen sped up his meal, swept away the food on the plate in three strokes and two clicks, and then trotted all the way to the kitchen, quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks with the fresh loofah hanging there, and hurried back to the room, starting another round of cultivation......

==========================================

At six o'clock in the morning, Mo Wen's biological clock woke him up on time, and glanced at the "Spiritual Silence Mantra" that lasted for three hundred and ninety-five days, Mo Wen was happy in his heart, it would not take five days, probably only three days, and this Buddhist secret mantra could be broken.

Walk briskly to the kitchen and cook yourself a pot of porridge. Mo Wen Meimei enjoyed a breakfast, and was about to go back to his room to continue his cultivation, but found Chang Jian standing at the door of his room with a smile on his face, carrying two small black wooden barrels in his hands.

Seeing Chang Jianmo, he immediately reacted that he had forgotten something, and looked embarrassed. Chang Jian didn't break it, handed the two buckets in his hand to Mo Wen, and said: "This bucket has been refined by secret methods and has the ability to absorb water, you must not fill this bucket with water, you can't lift it." Then he pointed to the clear spring next to the stone steps on the mountainside: "Just get water from here, be careful when you go down the mountain, and pay attention to maintaining balance." ā€

"Got it, big brother." Mo Wen took the bucket and ran down the mountain.

……

At noon, the exhausted Mo Wen finally lifted the two half-filled wooden barrels to the edge of the pool...... [Damn, I didn't expect this slope of Hongqiao to be so difficult to walk. Mo Wen was lying on the edge of the pool panting, he thought that his physique should be good, but he didn't expect it to be bad.

"Is the little junior brother in good health?" Chang Jian came to the edge of the pool at some point, gently lifted a bucket of water, and checked it, "It's about half full...... It's good, it's much better than the first time your senior brother did this. ā€

"I—I often help the people in the village with farm work." Mo Wen closed his eyes, and his body stretched out in the shape of a "big" character, "Senior brother, why don't you use a flat shoulder to pick it up?" ā€

"How can you exercise yourself with a flat pole?" Chang Jian smiled.

……

In this way, Mo Wen began his penance on the Tongtian Peak: cooking and fetching water every morning, practicing "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" at noon, and practicing "Great Brahma Prajna" in the evening...... The days passed so plainly, and in the third month after Mo Wen entered, he found that he could already carry two buckets full of water to run back and forth on Tongtian Peak. Mo Wen also deliberately looked at his attributes, and sure enough, his physique changed from the original one-star (your physique far exceeds that of most ordinary people) to a two-star (a height that most people can't reach with their hard work).

Mo Wen cultivates very hard, but the introductory part of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" and "Dafa Prajna", which are completely opposite, is really difficult to cultivate, even though Mo Wen's qualifications are much higher than Zhang Xiaofan's, and his efforts are even more (Zhang Xiaofan also has to cook for the people of Dazhufeng),

But it still took a whole year to successfully complete the first layer of the "Taiji Xuanqing Dao" Jade Qing Realm.

It is worth mentioning that although Mo Wen knows many passages in the general outline of the "Book of Heaven", the most important is "Therefore, in the moving earth, it is the heart of heaven and earth." Therefore, there is no reality and no fiction. Therefore, heaven and earth are left to nature, and nothing is done and nothing is created. If you don't have it, you won't be able to prepare it! Every time he recalled these passages, he always felt that the two true methods in his body had a tendency to merge, but every time he was about to merge into one, he fell short...... No way, who called him incomplete cheats.

And in this year, Dao Xuan Zhenren has not appeared once.

Mo Wen cultivated "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" at noon one day, Tongtian Peak disciple canteen.

"You have already cultivated to the first layer of the Jade Qing Realm?" Chang Jian was not surprised at all, it took almost a year for a person with average qualifications to cultivate the first layer of the "Taiji Xuanqing Dao", "The key to the second layer of the Jade Qing Realm is to refine the heaven and earth aura that you introduce into your body, and use it to strengthen yourself, that is, 'turning qi into essence'." Speaking of this, Chang Jian paused and stared at Mo Wen seriously, "The first layer is to control the aperture of the whole body, use the aura to stabilize the meridians, if you are tired and tired, you can dissipate the aura in the meridians at will." But when it comes to the second layer, if you don't stabilize all the essence turned into spiritual energy in the dantian, you won't be able to disperse your strength, otherwise the meridians will be vibrated at the lightest, and you will be killed at worst, do you understand? On the way to practice, don't be greedy for merit! ā€

"Don't ask, remember the teachings of the senior brother." Looking at Chang Jian's concerned expression, Mo Wen's heart was hot.

"Well, come on, junior brother." Chang Jian touched his head despite Mo Qian's dodge and his protesting gaze: "After cultivating to the fourth layer, you can cultivate the magic weapon, and then you can soar into the sky alone, it feels great!" ā€

After that, Mo Wen's practice was really smooth sailing as the book said, and the entry of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" and "Dafa Prajna" was very gratifying, especially "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao", Mo Wen only took two months to complete the second level of cultivation in Yuqing Realm.

……

"Senior brother, I have already cultivated the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to the fourth layer of the Jade Qing Realm." Mo Wen ran to find Chang Jian excitedly, his face was full of hope, and he blinked his watery eyes (selling cute): "Can I cultivate the magic weapon?" ā€

"What? Are you already able to 'drive away'? Chang Jian looked surprised, "It's just been a year and a half, and you've broken through the second and third layers of the Jade Qing Realm?" ā€

"Of course." Mo Wen raised his head and looked proud, "Senior brother, I can go and cultivate the magic weapon." ā€

"Naturally, you can." Chang Jian sighed, "But let's go meet the master with me first." ā€

"Isn't Master in retreat?" Mo Wen looked confused, but he was a little nervous in his heart...... Finally, I am going to see the world-famous "master" again.
