A clear stream flowed out of the mountain forest, circled in front of Meng Qi's eyes, and then flowed towards the foot of the mountain.
Surrounded by green trees, mist filled the mountains and forests, and the air was extremely fresh, making Meng Qi feel physically and mentally relaxed.
Before dawn, the morning bell rang, waking up Meng Qi, after learning the Sanskrit mantra in the morning class, he and Zhenhui were arranged by Xuanxin to carry water here, surrounded by Zhenying, Zhenguan and others, as well as the monks of the martial monks who used to carry water for tempering.
Looking at the stream, Meng Qi inadvertently saw his current appearance from the slowly flowing water.
This is a child with eyes like ink, eyebrows like distant mountains, and whitewashed jade, about twelve or thirteen years old, only a little older than Zhenhui.
"It's really good-looking, and it used to seem to be pampered. Meng Qi praised himself, but then lamented, what is the use of this for a monk?
He sank the barrel to the bottom of the water, intending to test how strong he was, and at the same time, he told Zhenhui beside him: "Little junior brother, you only pick half of it, it's almost enough, don't be reckless." ”
"Hmm. Zhenhui looked at the fish swimming in the creek and licked her lips.
Just as Meng Qi was about to lift the barrel, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and looked at it, and happened to see a group of familiar warrior monks, they were the little novices who were shaved together with him, among which Meng Qi could not remember many names, and now he looked at his true virtue as one.
Zhende's eyebrows were quite messy, his cheeks were slender, and when he saw Meng Qi looking back, his head was slightly raised, and he seemed a little arrogant and proud.
Seeing this, the other novices around him all turned from bitter to happy, and it seemed that after seeing their "companions" who were worse off than themselves, the hardships of life in the temple had vanished.
Yes, we entered the Warrior Monastery, and Zhending and Zhenhui can only be miscellaneous monks, which is something to be happy and proud of.
Zhende opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at the precept monk next to him, he still closed his mouth and lifted the wooden barrel out of the stream, two full barrels.
Meng Qi pursed his lips and decided not to be like a child, he would one day enter the Warrior Monastery and learn Shaolin!
He put aside his distractions and lifted the two barrels with all his might.
As soon as the barrel left the water, Meng Qi was shocked in his heart, how could it be so light?
He felt that he had no strength, and the barrel was lifted.
"Is it heavy?" Meng Qi asked Zhenhui suspiciously.
Zhenhui walked over honestly, lifted the two buckets full of water in front of Meng Qi, lifted the green tendons and distorted his face, and then nodded: "Heavy." ”
"Isn't it a problem with water?" Meng Qi took a light breath and said secretly in his heart, "Could it be that this body is born with good strength?" Uh, look at the skin, look at the clothes, look at the accessories, and the Hou Ye in the mouth of the horse-faced uncle, this body is probably from a noble background, maybe he has practiced martial arts before, laid a good foundation, and his strength is much greater than that of a normal child. ”
No matter what the reason was, Meng Qi was no longer afraid of carrying water, leaned down, took up two buckets of water, and followed the team of warrior monks in front of him to climb the mountain on the stone steps.
The team quickly lengthened and separated, and the warrior monks who had been tempered for many years could walk like a fly with iron buckets and water, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.
In order not to be noticeable, Meng Qi dragged on to the end with Zhenhui and several other miscellaneous monks, while Zhende and other new little novices of the martial monks had not made progress since they had just entered the temple for a day, and they were the same.
Feeling the gaze of Meng Qi and the others, Zhende and the other warrior monks turned red, and they all sank down, posed, and strode forward, not wanting to fall into the same group of miscellaneous monks.
Seeing them speed up, Meng Qi's heart moved, and he also learned from them to sink their waists and pose well, and suddenly felt that the wooden bucket filled with water was lighter.
"This posture is very simple...... Meng Qi groped for the strength technique to make himself easier, and his pace gradually increased, and before he knew it, he threw off his true wisdom and passed his true virtue.
"Hmph, you have to be steady at first, otherwise you won't be able to move behind!" Zhende said angrily behind Meng Qi's back.
Meng Qi sighed, feeling that he needed to change the big wooden barrel tomorrow, otherwise there would be no effect of exercise.
However, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is going up, and after Meng Qi arrived, he was still sweating and panting.
"Take care to control your breathing. Suddenly, a strict voice sounded in his ears,
Meng Qi looked sideways, and the precept monk who was now patrolling stood next to him at some point, demonstrating the rhythm of breathing, he was surprised and delighted, learned to regulate his breathing, and soon there was no phenomenon of exhaustion, and he returned to the temple all the way
"Tomorrow change the bucket to carry water. The precept monk gave an order, and went down to meet the other novices.
The corners of Meng Qi's mouth twitched, although he also had this idea in his heart, he was still quite worried about his lack of strength.
After a while, Zhenhui Zhende and other little novices also carried the water up the mountain, and saw the relaxed Meng Qi breathing the "morning light" there.
"Only, but, strength, big. Zhende gasped and muttered, like the other warrior monks and novices, he felt embarrassed in front of Zhending, who was obviously unable to compare to himself and others!
Then, without stopping, they hurried out of here.
"Little junior brother, take a breath, are you okay?" Meng Qi didn't pay attention to them at all, and asked Zhenhui who was panting for breath.
Zhenhui nodded: "Very, very good, early, breakfast!"
............
After breakfast, the sky was just dawning, and the east was red.
Meng Qi did not have the sour and softness after labor, but felt more sober and full of energy.
"This body is really good......" Meng Qi looked at the tired miscellaneous monks in the hall, and a sense of joy arose, no matter what, a good body is his future dependence.
"The newcomer came with me to the seminary. Xuan Xin took a chicken leg, stood at the door of the hall with a smile, saw Meng Qi looking over, and said lightly, "Well done, don't give face to the group of little cubs in the Warrior Monastery, come back at night, Uncle Shi will reward you." ”
"Reward?" Meng Qi was happy in his heart, although he hated Xuan Xin a little, but who didn't love the reward?
Before Xuanxin could answer, Zhenhui said blankly: "Uncle Xuanxin, you are not allowed to eat meat after you open your mind, you have violated the precepts." ”
Meng Qi's head buzzed, and he wanted to turn around and cover Zhenhui's mouth, but he was a little slower.
Sure enough, Xuan Xin's smile stiffened on his face.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I never violate the precepts." ”
After saying that, he didn't mention the reward again, and walked out of the hall with an ugly face.
It was only at this time that a low laugh rang out in the hall.
Zhenhui looked at Meng Qi incomprehensibly: "Senior brother, what are they laughing at?"
Laugh at you for being too stupid and stupid...... Meng Qi replied inwardly.
However, Zhenhui was not concerned about this problem, and immediately diverted his attention: "Senior brother, why did Uncle Xuanxin say that he didn't violate the precepts, but he was obviously gnawing on chicken legs!"
"Because he hasn't reached the realm of enlightenment yet...... Meng Qi replied in a faint voice, feeling the need to explain the truth of being a human being to Zhenhui, lest he always make stupid mistakes and offend people, thus implicating himself.
"Oh! Uncle Xuanxin hasn't opened his mind yet. Zhenhui suddenly realized, and her face was happy, as if she had unlocked some crucial secret.
Meng Qi saw that Xuanxin outside did not stop, and he didn't care about telling Zhenhui about the world's affairs and understanding people's feelings, so he beckoned him to follow.
All the way around the courtyards of the large and small Buddha halls, Meng Qi only heard the sound of chanting, ethereal and distant, which was extraordinarily refreshing.
"The evening drum and morning bell wake up the world's fame and fortune, and the Buddha's horn is sounded, recalling the charming ...... of the bitter sea dream" Somehow, Meng Qi thought of this couplet, this situation and this scene are really too appropriate.
"Hey, Master Zhending, have you also heard this couplet at the door of Shuiyue Nunnery?" asked Xuan Xin with a smile.
Meng Qi stood up, pretending to be calm and said: "I heard my father mention it." ”
can only be pushed on the inexplicable Hou Ye.
Xuan Xin was not surprised, and said in a sighing tone: "Uncle Shi, I have been to Shuiyue Nunnery, and I have seen this couplet at the door, so I am deeply impressed. ”
"Great compassion and compassion at ease Bodhisattva's golden body?" Meng Qi was stunned, his heart was inexplicably hot.
Xuanxin put away his sighs, and said with a smile: "The foundation of the Shuiyue Nunnery is the "Guanzi Bodhisattva Heart Sutra", if it becomes a positive result, you can get the 'Great Compassion and Great Compassion Guanzi Bodhisattva Golden Body', which belongs to one of the great Bodhisattvas and the golden body of the Great Arhat, far higher than the ordinary Bodhisattva Golden Body and Arhat Golden Body, and is only second to the Golden Body of Rulai, the Amitabha Dharma Body and the Bodhi Golden Body. ”
"That's it......" Meng Qi felt that his face was hot and his heart was beating wildly, there were Bodhisattva golden bodies in this world, Buddha golden bodies, etc., which was really exciting and fascinating.
At this time, after everyone stepped into the "lecture hall", Xuan Xin restrained his hippie smile, stopped talking, and took Meng Qi and others into a side hall seriously.
"Senior Brother Xuan'en, this is the new novice of the Miscellaneous Servant Academy. After Xuan Xin whispered the Buddha's name, he pointed at Meng Qi and the others.
Sitting high in front of the chanting hall is a thin old monk with snow-white eyebrows, also wearing a yellow monk's robe, with books and wooden fish in front of him, and a ring ruler in his hand.
"Sit down separately. He pointed to the half-empty futons below, each with a small table in front of it.
Meng Qi and Zhenhui and others didn't dare to speak, so they each found a place to kneel and sit down, and waited for another quarter of an hour, and one by one the little novices 6 arrived, including Zhende and other "companions" who entered the temple together.
They glanced at Meng Qi and the others in surprise, obviously not expecting that the miscellaneous monks could also study in the seminary.
Xuan En knocked on the wooden fish in front of him, so that the little novices were quiet, and then said in a low voice: "In the next three years, as long as you do not violate the rules of the temple, you can come here to read and write at this time every day, in addition to ordinary words, you also have to practice Sanskrit in order to study the ancient scriptures." ”
He paused and said, "But before I teach you today, I have to guide you to step into the martial arts. ”
Hearing him say this, Meng Qi's spirits lifted, his back subconsciously straightened, and the miscellaneous monks could also be guided?
Such doubts also made Zhende and the others widen their eyes, what is the difference between the Miscellaneous Servant Academy and the Warrior Monk's Academy?
"Whether it is the meditation of the Dao Gate or the secular flow method, the first step of the path of martial arts cultivation is similar but not the same, which is to strengthen the qi and veins and strengthen the mind and body. Hyun Eun ignored the doubts of Zhende and the others, and said to himself.
Meng Qi listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
"This step is called '100 days to build the foundation' in the Daomen, which means to lay the foundation of martial arts practice, the so-called '100 days', both normally speaking, within 100 days, Ren Du and other meridians are full of qi and self-opening, and my Buddhism is called 'self-cultivation in concentration', because only when the mind is calm and settled, not scattered and not chaotic, can the true qi be naturally reborn, fill the tricks, and open the qi veins, and the secular is called 'opening the pulse'. ”
Xuan En roughly introduced the key points of "self-cultivation in the middle of concentration" (100 days of foundation building): "There are 365 great points in the human body, and after each breath ......of true qi is generated, it must be filled in the holes, and each major point needs nine breaths of true qi to be sufficient."
"Each time you enter a quarter of an hour, you can only regenerate one breath of true qi, so depending on the daily practice time of each person, about 100 days to a year, this step can be completed. ”
"When entering the meditation, the six roots are pure, not delusional and not eager, and after a quarter of an hour, their own true qi is reborn, half of which goes up from the Du vein to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, and then descends to the upper jaw to generate a mouthful of 'Jinjin', and the other half goes up from the Ren vein to the lower jaw, turning into a mouthful of 'jade liquid'. ”
"When the 'Jinjin jade liquid' meets, it will merge into a mouthful of clear and sweet saliva, which is called 'nectar' in my Buddhism, and then swallow the 'nectar' and fill in the corresponding trick points......"
Xuan En repeated the main points several times and said: "When the 'concentration and self-cultivation' is completed, then the essence and energy are full, the qi and veins are first opened, and the body is strong, so that you can enter the next step of 'meditation and qi storage', and my Buddhism is also called 'long-term cultivation of the holy womb'." ”
After saying that, he asked the little novices to try to settle down.
This is not meditation, it only requires a calm mind, which is not difficult, and it is relatively simple for children with few thoughts.
But Meng Qi, as an adult, thinks a lot, and can't calm down for a long time, which makes him impatient, but the more anxious he is, the more he can't settle down.
When he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he suddenly felt a cool feeling in his chest, and his mind was clear.
"That little jade Buddha?" Meng Qi was overjoyed, didn't think much about it, slowly gathered his mind, and entered the center.
