I was very curious about the "Dao" cultivated by the person who boiled the stone Dao, and it was rare to have the time and mood to have a long talk with him, so I had time to ask him what kind of Tao he was cultivating and which sect he belonged to.

The boiling stone Taoist sat down next to me, stared into the distance and said: "There are 3,600 ways to cultivate immortals, most of them have been lost now, my kind belongs to the 'psychic' cultivation method, that is, there are immortals who collude with me, open up spiritual wisdom, and obtain supernatural powers. ”

I nodded to show that it was not easy for him, if he was a little greedy, or complained a little, and his master knew about it, the master would ignore him and it would be over. Even if he works very hard, if his master doesn't take him away in the future, he will have no way to ascend to the sky, and without his master to collude with him, he is just an ordinary old man, in short, he wants to see other people's faces.

Boiling Shi said: "As for the sect, I didn't formally apprentice, I didn't recognize my ancestors and return to the sect, I don't count any sect, my master is a disciple of Lushan." ”

In the ancient desert city, Lu Yu said that there are two secret realms in the world, one is the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, and the other is the secret realm of Lushan. The two secret realms are tied for ranking, and the people who live are all immortals, if the master of the boiling stone Dao is an immortal in the secret territory of Lushan Mountain, you should know where the secret realm of the ghost valley of the Lu Dao is, right?

I hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, is your master an immortal in the Lushan Secret Realm, and does she know where the Dao Ghost Valley Secret Realm is?" ”

Boiling Shi shook his head blankly: "I don't know Lu Dao, I only know that Lu Dao is under the Lu Mountain Gate." ”

"Then can you please ask her to come down and ask her, this matter is very important to me!"

The boiled stone man had a difficult face, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, clasped his palms in front of his chest, closed his eyes and meditated and prayed. In the past, he couldn't invite his master, so he could only wait for his master to come to him, but now it seems that he has improved.

In less than half a minute, I sensed a significant spiritual power fluctuation nearby, and smelled something similar to sandalwood, and the warm and peaceful feeling made me want to yawn. The people who boiled the stone said in a somewhat strange female voice (of course it is strange for men to pronounce female voices), and in some language (ancient Chinese) that is like a white voice in Yue opera: "Disciple, what do you want me to come to, if there is something to talk about quickly, I have something important to be busy!" ”

It seemed that the real immortal had arrived, so I hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Dare to ask the immortal, where is the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, and how can I enter it." ”

The boiling stone Taoist pinched the purple emblem (which looks more like an orchid finger), and there was a charming expression on his face, and he sighed faintly: "Sigh, I know everything you have done, and I still owe you a favor, if I can say it, I will say it bluntly; If you can't say it, it's useless for you to ask me. ”

I kowtowed again: "Please also ask the immortals to speak up what they can say." ”

"The Ghost Valley is close in front of you, far away in the sky! If he doesn't accept you, you won't be able to find it. If he is willing to accept you, he will take you in without your request. As far as I know, all the people in the Guigu Valley have been meditating behind closed doors, and for hundreds of years there has been only entry and exit, so that people in the world have withered...... This is also the case for days. ”

I'm disappointed, it seems that this is a dead end that will not lead to it. As soon as this thought flashed through my heart, the fairy-possessed stone boiler said: "Don't be angry, the jade Jue you found is left by Wang Chan Ancestor, if you can unite the eight pieces, it will definitely alarm him." You are one of his disciples, and you have great merit, and you ask him for some small things, can he still not allow it? It's just that you don't have to say that I instructed you. ”

"Yes, yes." I immediately turned my worries into joy, and asked, "I heard that the eight pieces of jade are one and can travel back in time and space, is it true?" ”

"Huh...... I'll go too! After the fairy finished speaking, she left, and the aura fluctuations disappeared, but the faint fragrance was still there.

The boiled stone man sneezed and woke up, tears and snot streaming down his face. This is because he is a man and a living person, and he is yang, and the fairy is a woman and a spirit, and he is yin, and yin and yang are in opposition, just as the cold air and hot air in the sky meet, and it is going to thunder and rain.

Generally speaking, female fairies only communicate with women, male fairies only communicate with men, and there are fewer spirits of the opposite sex. The boiled stone Taoist is a wrinkled old man with a wrinkled face and messy hair, but just now he was a gentle and charming appearance, with a sharp voice, and the fingers pinched are like orchid fingers, I can't bear to laugh, and now that the immortal is gone, I want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, and my stomach is almost cramping.

"Hehe......" Xiaoxue laughed in my heart, and after laughing, she showed me the true face of the female fairy she saw: dressed in Taoist costume, wearing a cloak woven of crane feathers, less than thirty years old, dignified appearance, eyebrows flying, beautiful and peaceful with a heroic atmosphere, similar to the statue in the temple.

Although I didn't inquire about the location of the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, at least I had determined that it would be useful to find all eight jade talismans. And I'm not as lonely as I imagined, maybe all generations of ancestors are paying attention to me and taking care of me, but I don't know what to do, this time I met the old monk in Japan and was polite to me, maybe it was because someone was behind me to support me.

Xiaoxue said suddenly: "It's a loss, it's a loss, I didn't have time to ask her just now, who ransacked the Awa Maru, I dare to say that she must know the way!" ”

"Didn't she already say it? She will speak bluntly if she can say it, and it is useless to ask her if she can't say it, and she probably won't say it if she asks about it. ”

"Also, she is in a hurry to leave, probably because she is afraid that you will ask too many questions."

I thanked the person who boiled the stone and continued to talk with him about the topic of monasticism, the difference between Buddha and Tao, the meaning of life, whether fate can be changed, and so on. This time, Lao Dao spoke freely, saying a lot of things that I didn't know and hadn't thought about.

Many people think that being a Taoist priest and being a monk is a passive avoidance, which is completely wrong, in fact, the real monks and Taoist priests are the most active and hard-working people to change their lives, and they are pursuing the highest state of life, which is the Tao. The Great Dao is unique, but there are countless ways, even if a person who does not know the cultivation method at all, as long as he focuses on a certain field and reaches the extreme, he can understand the meaning of the Dao......

The goal of Taoism and Buddhism is the same, and the different paths lead to the same end, but the concepts and perspectives are different, that is, the emphasis on the word "life" is different. What is Sex? When a person comes out of the womb, he has no good or evil, the most original self, and the nature that is not affected in any way; What is Fate? It is the innate essence brought by birth, which affects the birth, aging, sickness and death of a lifetime, and this breath will be gone without life. Taoist Xuanmen pays attention to the use of qi to support life, so it stresses life rather than sex; Buddhism focuses on cultivation, and the emphasis is not on life. In fact, sex without life does not stand, life without sex does not exist, the two cannot be separated, and the dual cultivation of life can get twice the result with half the effort. To put it simply, monks also have to practice qi, and Taoist priests also have to have an epiphany, but due to the rules and inheritance, most of the two factions still go their own way......

Boiling stone people also practice qi, but only for health, not for fighting, and supplemented by the art of Dan Dao, to help save the world to accumulate merit, this is his way.

After listening to Lao Tao's tirade, I was deeply moved. In the past, only when I encountered difficulties or blows, I would instinctively think about what life is, what destiny is, and what is the true self, which is a passive perception. In fact, I have already discovered that after the practice reaches a certain level, it is difficult to break through the hard work, and the perception of the mind is very important, but I have not listened to such a profound analysis of the people who cook the stone path, like a blind man touching an elephant, and I don't know where the problem of the Dao is, and how to do it.

So, I'm going to communicate more with monks and nuns in the future?

Xiaoxue "snorted" in my heart: "Just find a monk, just forget about the nun, so as not to lose yourself the more you communicate." ”

"How can it be, it means that I have really seen through it if I stand the test, so I want to find the most beautiful nun and go to meditation alone with her."

"You ......"

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

Not only did I gain a lot from the long talk in the middle of the night, but Xiaoxue also gained a lot, so we were in a good mood and joking.

As soon as dawn Lin Mei came out of the cave to practice, which was a good habit she had developed since she was a child. With her hair tucked back behind her and a thin tracksuit and sneakers, she took a stump in a clearing in the woods, punched in all directions, and began to practice the most basic introductory kung fu.

Plum Blossom Boxing pays attention to the practice of form, qi, and spirit, both inside and outside, she took the phoenix crown fairy mushroom and separated from me for a year, and the kung fu has improved a lot. At this time, the simplest introductory kung fu practice is dignified, rigorous and sensitive and free, the intention of punching is not forceful, it seems to be slow and has no strength, but it gives people the feeling of weight.

The air in the woods is fresh, the birds are singing, her figure is still slender, still so elegant, dignified, and simple, her movements are almost perfect, and the artistic conception is so beautiful that I almost forget that I exist. I remembered the time when she first taught me to practice this boxing technique, remembered our meeting at Genting Mountain, and remembered the many beautiful and bitter experiences we experienced......

Lin Meiwu and I forgot about it, and after practicing the pile gong and then practicing the walk, when facing me, I suddenly found that I was looking at her with a smile not far away, and I was immediately surprised and happy: "Ah, big brother, you are back!" ”

I opened my arms and she rushed into my arms, and I hugged her tightly. With her in my arms, all hardships and dangers are gone, all worries and frustrations are gone, and only when I am in her presence can I have this sense of peace and satisfaction.

"Is it going well?" Lin Mei raised her head and asked.

"If you get a piece, reward it first." As I spoke, I met her lips and gagged her.

Lin Mei responded enthusiastically, but quickly pushed me away again, and a flush appeared on her face: "Be careful of being seen!" ”

Ouyang Zhenfei's voice came: "I didn't see anything, is the senior brother back?" ”

I followed the prestige, Ouyang Zhenfei was facing us with his back at the entrance of the cave, and I turned my face to the plate: "If you don't practice hard when I'm not at home, you don't get up so late, you shouldn't be peeking at it, you should be beaten, and you will be punished for copying "The Story of the Jade Wave Cave" ten times!" ”

Ouyang Zhenfei screamed: "I'm more wronged than Dou E, I recited the mantra too late last night, so I got up later, and I just came out and didn't see anything." ”

"Are you walking backwards? Dare to quibble, copy twenty times! ”

"Oh my God, Master, open your eyes, Senior Brother is bullying me!"
