Chapter 70: Fengying Courtyard [Second Update]
Looking at the practice content of this "Soul Splitting Dafa" in detail, it is divided into five layers, the first layer is the Soul Technique, which aims to strengthen the soul of life, the second layer is the Soul Summoning Technique, which is used to summon and dispatch the two souls of heaven and earth, the third layer is the Soul Strengthening Technique, which aims to strengthen the two souls of heaven and earth, the fourth layer is the Soul Splitting Technique, which teaches how to split the heavenly soul and the earth soul, and the fifth layer of the doppelganger technique, which is to transform the soul into a clone.
After Shi An figured out the relationship between the three souls and the seven spirits and the cultivation principle of the soul splitting technique, his mother's several statements about fate were realized: ordinary monks pay attention to cultivating the Yuan Shen, so their lives will become stronger and stronger, because there is no way to cultivate the two souls of heaven and earth, so they often have bad luck, especially when they use the soul splitting technique, and the mission soul is weaker than the two souls of heaven and earth, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury. If the superior has the opportunity to influence the two souls of heaven and earth, then the path of fortune will be mastered by him, which may be what the mother called "fixed number".
If you cultivate the Dafa of Soul Splitting, in addition to continuously strengthening the soul and enhancing the number of lives, you can also continuously enhance the technique by splitting the two souls of heaven and earth, and the dual cultivation of destiny will naturally come naturally. Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
In the past three years, he meditated on that futon, except for the eight hours of the Spirit Gathering Array to absorb the spiritual energy and the fact that he must have gone out to check on the business situation. For the sake of convenience, he had planned to put the futon into the second mountain room, but the strange thing was that the futon was no problem no matter how it was placed in the first mountain room, but it could not be placed in the second mountain room anyway, and whenever it was to be taken in, it would always be blocked by an invisible force. After coming and going, he also knew that the futon could only be placed in the first mountain room.
Although the effect of this futon on the expansion of the divine consciousness is still there, it is no longer obvious. In the past three years, the first layer of the "Soul Splitting Dafa" has strengthened the soul of life, and even this small success has made him feel that both the absorption speed of spiritual energy and the expansion speed of divine consciousness have been greatly improved compared to before.
On this day, Shopkeeper Shi routinely went to the shop to inquire about the business, Wu Gang trotted to the front and said: "Shopkeeper Shi, if it is convenient recently, please go to Fengying Courtyard, the abbot of the Courtyard Jing Fangzhang came to you a few days ago, and when he saw that you were not there, he asked me to take a talk, he wanted to sit with you." ”
"Didn't you say anything else?" Shi An couldn't help but be a little strange, the abbot of the Jing Fang was a monk and the abbot of another courtyard, and he had no intersection with him on weekdays, so how could he find himself to sit down?
"I didn't say anything more, I just said that I wanted to exchange my formation experience with you. Wu Gang replied.
"Okay, I'll go. Shi An inquired a few more words about the situation in the store in the past few days, and then rushed to Fengying Villa.
This is the first time Shi An has come here since entering the Twin Towers City, Shi An has also seen some temples in the secular world, and this is the first time he has seen it when he comes to the world of cultivating immortals.
From the outside of the temple, different from the apricot yellow courtyard wall and blue-gray temple ridge of other temples, all the buildings of the annex are vermilion; there are long-aged ancient trees in the ordinary temple, and there are no tall plants in the courtyard of the annex, only in the east, west, south, north, southeast, southeast, northeast, northwest octagonal outside the courtyard, there is a Bodhi tree with more than three zhang in each, and the whole courtyard is also shrouded in a thin layer of spiritual mist, a solemn and solemn feeling.
Shi An went around the wall and carefully looked at the trunk of each tree, and he already knew something in his heart.
When he turned to the door, the two little novices with oblique robes in favor of their right shoulders stretched out their right palms and said to Shi An, "The donor is the Shi shopkeeper of Yizhi Pavilion?"
Shi An hurriedly returned the salute: "The little master is invited, and the contemptible person is Shi Yizhi." ”
"I also asked the shopkeeper Shi to go to the guest hall with the little monk to meet the abbot and the great monk. A little novice said as he made a gesture of please.
Shi An followed him into the monastery. The temple is not big, it is divided into two courtyards before and after, the first courtyard is in the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the monks are doing morning classes. After Shi An looked around in the courtyard for a week, he followed the little novice into the guest hall on the right side.
Before a cup of tea was moistened, a burly middle-aged monk walked into the hall, nine feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a kind face. ”
Shi An hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Abbot and monk, Yizhi is also polite." ”
After the guest and host sat down, Jingyi spoke first: "The poor monk has heard that there is a formation master in the city of the Twin Towers, not only in the formation attainments are extraordinary, the formation effect is powerful, and dare to break the tradition, even the formation of the art is also used in the people's livelihood, for the benefit of countless mortals, it is really admired by the poor monk, today I see that the shopkeeper knows that you are so young, and the poor monk is even more respectful." ”
Shi An replied with a smile: "Great monk, you have won the award, Yi went out a few days ago, and I came back today, I heard the guy in the store say that you want to see me, I don't know ......"
Jingyi paused slightly, and asked: "The donor is a formation master, so I won't go around the corner, have you found any differences from ordinary temples when you enter this temple?"
Shi An was stunned, thinking of what he saw when he entered the temple, and after a little thought, he asked tentatively: "The great monk can ask about this formation in the temple?"
"Exactly. ”
Shi An replied while thinking: "When I first entered the other courtyard, I did feel that there were many differences from the temples in the secular world. Originally, I was a person from the secular world, and I entered the world of cultivating immortals by chance, and I had never seen the temples of the world of cultivating immortals before, and I saw that the layout and structure of the other courtyards were very different from what I had seen before, and I thought it should be so. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"First of all, the eight Bodhi trees outside the temple wall, although they seem to be ordinary, but the faintly visible lines in their layout and trunk must be the eight gates of the formation. I have carefully looked at it, the eight gates are closed, and the three doors of death, shock, and injury are all open, Du Gate is open to the east, and Jingmen is open to the west, if I guess correctly, this should be a sealing formation. In addition, the courtyard wall is also unusual, the vermilion is evil, there is a pane on the southeast wall, and there is a narrow door in the northwest corner, so it must be a dangerous thing to be sealed. The location of the two more towers is also unusual, if it is really a sealed array, that one is the eye of the array, and the other must be the gate of the array. Abbot Great Monk, my guess is correct?"
Jingyi smiled and nodded, "There is a huge summoning country, and the donor is the only one who can see it, and it is indeed a formation master." The poor monk has also heard a lot about the daily behavior of the donor, and knows that he is a good-hearted person, so I don't hide it, the other courtyard is indeed a sealed place, and the sealed thing is indeed a fierce thing, as for what it is, because the stakes are very high, the poor monk does not dare to say. ”
"I think the great monk summoned Yizhi this time, not just to test my ability to discern the formation, but also to ask the great monk to explain something. ”
"Hehehe, the donor is really fast, and there is indeed something to ask for when the donor is invited to come this time. ”
"But for the sake of the door?"
Jing Yi was shocked one by one, completely lost his superior demeanor, and hurriedly said: "This can also be seen?"
"The eight Bodhi trees outside the courtyard seem to be exactly the same, and their growth is also completely the same, but looking at their qi, only the breath of the wounded door is a little sluggish, it must be that the formation in the courtyard is damaged, and the great monk needs my help to repair it?"
"That's exactly what it means!" said the net nod.
"Alright, let's go check it out. Shi An was also a little curious.
Objectively speaking, this formation of Fengying Courtyard is indeed much more clever than the ordinary sealing formation, if it weren't for Jingyi's slight hint, I'm afraid Shi An wouldn't have thought of it, so he really had a lot of interest in this formation, so he had the urge to watch the formation structure.
As soon as he entered the second courtyard, Shi An felt a little shocked, although from the appearance of the structure of the entire courtyard, the items placed are the same as ordinary temples, but a closer look can be found that everything in the courtyard, whether it is the location and layout of the room, the order of the furniture in the room, the placement of the incense burner in the courtyard, are all part of the formation.
Shi An couldn't help sighing, although his own formation has a small success, but the practice of arranging the formation is still lacking, he has felt that there is no second person in the world with a prefabricated stone slab array, but the idea of using ordinary objects to form a formation talisman seen today is even more superior, and he can't help but be a little ashamed of his arrogance in his heart, and admire the master who doesn't know this array, so he respectfully saluted Jingyi and said: "Great monk, I don't know which grandmaster laid out this array, can I meet it?"
Jingyi said gloomily: "If the master is still here, how can I still trouble the donor?"
Shi An was also stunned when he heard this.
After thinking for a while, he pointed to the Dharma hall next to the back door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said, "The broken door should be here, can you enter it?"
Jingyi made a gesture of please, and the two entered the Dharma hall one after another.
The Dharma hall was empty, and there was nothing but twenty-five futons arranged in front and back according to the teachings.
After observing for a while, Shi An walked to the futon where the Dharma master was located, and after asking for Jingyi's permission, he picked up the futon.
There was an extremely complex formation under the futon, and Shi An said: "It's the problem here." ”
The array has worn out, and many lines have disappeared or been broken, and although they are still functioning, their effectiveness has been greatly reduced.
Jingyi nodded slightly: "Ten years ago, we found that there was something wrong with the formation, and the suppressed things have shown signs of recovery, especially in the past few years, we have carefully looked at every part of the entire formation, but here the formation has signs of wear, and in recent years, the wear and tear has become more and more serious, and the situation is not natural damage, but no one has come to destroy it day and night." I didn't dare to invite some outsiders to come and see it at will, so it has been delayed until today. ”
