Chapter 22: The First Smell of the Flute
I don't know how long I slept, and when I was in a daze, there was a string of flutes in the distance, the sound was melodious and continuous. Like a rushing and splashing stream in the mountains, gentle and endless, chanting and singing; like a warm spring breeze melting snow, snow water turning into trickling droplets, thousands of scattered streams converge; dead wood recovers, revealing branches and buds, full of vitality; rain and dew are shining, moistening all things, verdant and dripping; the spring breeze is warm, the sun is shining, birds are flying in flocks, and the sound of chirping is transmitted in the valley; flowers bloom one after another, the fragrance is pervasive, butterflies are flying; the clouds are light and the wind is light, as if the dragon and phoenix are flying in the nine heavens, and like a fairy Ling Bo microstep; ethereal, like a mist and a light veil; it is also true and illusory, a mirage, which makes people full of endless reverie
Amaterasu woke up suddenly, and a bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the inside and outside of the house as if plated with a layer of silver, and the moon hung high in the air, like a jade wheel ice tray that had just been dehydrated, not stained with dust.
Listen to the flute sound smoothly and mellowly, this is the best instrumental sound I have ever heard, suddenly the troubles disappear, the flute is played repeatedly, Amaterasu feels that the dust in his heart is gone, a mirror, the aura of the lower dantian is like water rolling, Amaterasu knows that this is a good time to practice, sit cross-legged, introverted, the aura in the abdomen slowly moves with the sound of the flute, and the flute sound stops again and again after repeatedly washing the meridians, Amaterasu collects the work, and feels refreshed, if the flute sound is a little longer!
This flute sound is helpful for cultivation, what kind of flute is this!?
Listening to the sound of the flute is definitely not the master, the master can't play the flute, the poor second uncle, by feeling, it won't be him, the fat fourth uncle should not be him, so light and refined, not the cheesy fourth uncle can blow, is it the fifth uncle? But listening to the flute seems to come from behind the Taoist temple, there are still people behind the Taoist temple?
In the morning in the mountains, although it was summer, there was still a little coolness, Amaterasu woke up, washed up, ate breakfast, the flying monkey hurriedly said goodbye and left, Amaterasu sent it to the door, reluctantly said goodbye, and when he came back, he was arranged by the master to practice with a few children, but there were only three people such as Lu Zhigui, and the only little girl named Qinglian. Qingping's three senior brothers were responsible for cleaning, carrying water and cooking, and the other three junior brothers, Qingquan and the other three were arranged to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
There are only five people practicing martial arts in the big martial arts training ground, which seems a little empty, and the martial arts training ground is also paved with bluestone, with sand pits, as well as stone locks for weightlifting, stone hammers and other equipment for practicing strength. Not far away is the martial arts training hall, the house is tall, it seems to be in disrepair, the roof is broken a lot of small holes, needless to say that there must be some leakage when it rains.
The fourth uncle who taught martial arts was shy, with a big belly, and first called a few children to teach, asking them to practice lifting stone locks and stone burdens first, and practiced for an hour, almost sweating all over his body, Amaterasu's strength was great, but he didn't want to show off here, and he honestly followed the practice for a while, and he didn't show his full strength.
Seeing that it was almost over, Zihuo said: "Rest for a quarter of an hour and then practice the second item." ”
A few people dispersed, the three of them were still sitting in a pile, Amaterasu and Na Qinglian were sitting together, Qinglian smiled at Amaterasu and said, "Where are you from?"
Amaterasu thought about it and thought it would be better not to expose himself: "I'm from the north, what about you?"
Qinglian replied with a smile: "I am from this place, I don't have parents, I was picked up by the master when I was three years old and taken up the mountain." Amaterasu couldn't help asking, "Who is your master?"
"My master is Zimu. "Speaking of this, the expression is gloomy.
Amaterasu also said gloomily, "I also have no father and no mother, and I am similar to you." ”
Amaterasu saw Lu Zhigui in the distance, and the three children sat around Zihuo, laughing with Zihuo.
"A few sycophants!" Qinglian looked at the trio.
Amaterasu overheard the speech of several people last night, and now Amaterasu's hearing has increased a lot, and he feels the same way, so he doesn't say much and just smiles. Qinglian said: "In the past, there were only four of us brothers and sisters, but it was fun, there were not many things to do every day, I heard from the master, in the future, we will recruit apprentices, there are many people and there is a lot of trouble." Amaterasu said, "It's good to have a lot of people." ”
Suddenly, I remembered that I should ask about the sound of the flute I heard last night, and said, "I have something I want to ask you." ”
"Assemble, everybody. Zihuo shouted.
The five of them gathered together again, and what Qingwei wanted to ask had to be put aside.
Zihuo leaned against a stone wall and said, "The second item is to practice leaping footwork, I'll demonstrate it first." ”
Amaterasu saw that the stone wall was dozens of zhang high, smooth, and its slope was afraid of seventy degrees, and the purple fire jumped up and down lightly, up and down on the smooth stone wall, back and forth like flying, advancing and retreating freely, going to the highest place, turning over and falling like a big bird, and looking at Amaterasu stunned, although the fifth uncle said that he was a little fat, but his body was agile, and he was not sluggish at all, and the fifth uncle fell to the ground, and said: "I have already demonstrated, and it is your turn to do so next." ”
Amaterasu wanted to see how a few people practiced, and he was not in a hurry, only to see four people, soaring up, but he climbed not high and slid down, Qinglian was flying a little higher, and the estimated distance was not more than a few zhang, Amaterasu also relied on the gourd to draw a scoop, running to help, flying up, the stone wall was smooth, and it was not yet to the height of the four people, so he couldn't support falling down, and it was better to practice many times, Zihuo looked at it next to him and said: " Boy, you should pay attention to walking with your body, your body should be as upward as possible, and you can't let your body be slower than your feet, let alone lower than your feet, otherwise you will have nowhere to focus, and your head and feet will naturally fall down. ”
Amaterasu quickly understood when he heard it, and if he came again, it was really much better, and he was close to that Qinglian, Zihuo muttered in the distance: "This kid has a good understanding and has potential." After practicing for half an hour, several people were also tired and sweaty, and Zihuo said, "Take a break." ”
Qinglian found a dry stone to sit on, and beckoned to Amaterasu, "Senior brother, come quickly." Amaterasu sat beside him and looked dissatisfied: "I'm older than you in terms of age, how can you call me junior brother." ”
"You started later than me, so naturally you want to call me senior sister. Qinglian smiled.
"I've been a disciple of my master for a long time, how can I get started later than you?" Amakasu disagreed.
"To get started, you have to worship the ancestor, strictly speaking, you don't seem to have started yet. Qinglian smiled lightly.
Amaterasu continued the unfinished question just now: "Does anyone in the Taoist temple know how to play the flute?" Qinglian thought for a while, "No one can." ”
Amaterasu was about to ask carefully, when the purple fire shouted out at an inopportune time, "It's time to assemble." ”
This third item is the practice of boxing, which is called the Nantianyue Twelve Style Amaterasu Master has already taught.
But Amaterasu is not a showman, and he honestly still learns one trick at a time with Zihuo, as if he has never learned it at all.
The 12 styles of Nantianyue are intermediate-level exercises, good at attacking enemies, and more practical one-on-one, but not good at dealing with multiple people.
After practicing for an hour, the bell rang, and the bell echoed among the mountains, and it was time for the meal.
"Wash your faces, and go to dinner." After Zihuo finished speaking, he didn't look back and left first.
Today is Qingshu's turn to be on duty, Qingshu is the second senior brother, and he is the personal disciple of the master, who has added food to the masters and stands behind the master. A few children, plus the senior brother Qingping, and the third senior brother Qingliu had a table, added their own food, and each started to eat.
The head said: "I looked at the yellow calendar for three days, and it was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and a ceremony was held for the entrance to Amaterasu. Ziyun said: "Master, this Tianzhao is homeless, and it will be handled according to the initiation ceremony for the time being." "The initiation ceremony, that is, after entering the Dao, in the Daomen, can not get married, have children, but Nan Tianyue's requirements are not strict, as long as you apply for yourself, you can apply to be a lay disciple at any time, the lay disciple is not a Taoist number, can not hold any position in the door, and the lay disciple generally has to leave after reaching the age of twenty.
Ziyun groaned, "I'm thinking about what kind of Dao name to take." ”
The head of the door looked calm: "You think about it, it's best for you to make your own decisions about this kind of thing." ”
After eating, Qinglian and Qingquan and a few others all arrived at the place where the class was held, and Amaterasu had been to the place where the class was held yesterday, and they followed a few people to the classroom. I can't wait for a long time for Ziyan to come, although he is in his forties, he doesn't look like he has any wrinkles, and his face is smooth and shiny, this is the benefit of cultivation.
After entering the door, he said: "New person, we will review what we have learned in class today, so that this new student can keep up, and learn the method of Nantianyue first." Ziyan looked at Amaterasu, "Nan Tianyue is mainly based on the exercises of cultivating the Tao and becoming immortals, and martial arts are not the main thing, and Nan Tianyue's cultivation techniques must first open the Lao Gong Acupoint, like this." Ziyan made a gesture, stretched out his hands flat, and rotated his palms upwards and inwards Amaterasu followed and learned, but he didn't learn it like he did, Ziyan corrected it a few times with his own hands before he learned it, and this basic cultivation master had not taught it.
"Next, sensing the aura, sitting upright, palms up, eyes seem to be open, whether you see or not, do you sense the light of small particles floating around? "In the afternoon, Qingquan and the others came, and there were eight people in the class, only Qingquan Qinglian and the other four people had been in the classroom for a little longer, and they could already sense it.
Qingquan said: "I can sense it, it's black." "Qinglian sensed that it was white, Qingsong sensed yellow, Qingsong should be cyan, and after Amaterasu settled, it only took a few minutes to feel the red particles, floating around, but there were relatively few.
"Lu Zhigui, do you feel it?"
The three of them said in unison: "No." "There's no hurry, there needs to be a process, and this process is long and short, at least about half a year." "She didn't ask about Amaterasu at all, and she couldn't have felt it just after learning.
If you don't ask Amaterasu, you naturally won't say it, but after a while, Amaterasu found that there was another orange, and even Qingwei himself was startled.
"You slowly sense, the next step after sensing is to use the consciousness to introduce the aura into the Lao Gong acupoint, this is a long-term process, some may take several years to achieve, I myself was also three years to import, this is called Qi Collection, it is Nan Tianyue's unique Qi Harvesting Technique. ”
Amaterasu tried to use his consciousness to channel that aura into the Lao Palace, but he didn't succeed, and it was not easy to try again and again.
An hour passed, and Ziyan said, "Collect the work, everyone take a rest." "I went out to rest on my own.
Before Amaterasu finished asking the question, he leaned closer to Qinglian and said, "I asked if anyone here would play the flute in the morning?" ”
"What was the flute I heard that night?" Amaterasu was suspicious.
"I can't tell you the sound of the flute, but as long as it doesn't rain, it blows almost every night, and it blows beautifully. Qinglian replied.
"This flute has been around for years," Kiyomatsu said, Kiyomatsu was slightly larger than Amaterasu, but he was shorter, black and thin.
Qinglian said: "The sound of the flute is a little strange, there is no one in the back mountain, who played it, listen to the master, the four of them have gone to look for it, but they didn't find it, the flute sound is far away and sometimes near, and the four of them are divided into four directions and have not found it." ”
"At first, we thought that the enemy was deliberately doing it, and we looked for it a few times, but it didn't seem to be hostile, so we had to let it go. Na Ziyan listened to a few people discussing, and interjected, "Okay, class." ”
The second class is to learn morality, teach the origin of the Tao, and the many differences of the Tao, which is also taught by Naziyan.
Ziyan's voice was crisp: "Between heaven and earth, the Tao exists, the Tao is the law between heaven and earth, the Tao is innumerable, people can only understand or adapt, and cannot change it at will." "The explanations of these Dao are consistent with the Supreme Immortal Gong of Amaterasu, and they are not difficult to understand. Suddenly he heard a burst of snoring, Amaterasu turned his head to look, only to see that Qianyin, who slept in the same room with him, was sleeping soundly on his desk, and even saliva flowed out, and he saw that the other two were about the same, and they all dozed off, but they didn't snore. Ziyan frowned and patted the table: "What did you do last night, it's not good to go to class." The three of them woke up, and Ziyan said, "You guys, it's a waste to spend money that is not good." ”
The third class is a cultural class, and Nantianyue is a civil and military class, which is different from other sects. The head came to teach in person, and the three of Lu Zhigui saw that they were in charge of the class, although they were sleepy, they could only hold on, yawning again and again, but fortunately, the class was not long, and the afternoon passed after the three classes.
