33: The Master Speaks the Dharma
Under the starry sky, the continuous mountains are like the deep ink under the painter's brush, and a little light under the mountain pierces this darkness, which is where the fire spirit view is.
Lou Jinchen took the girl into the fire spirit temple, and woke Shang Gui'an up, he was extremely surprised when he saw a dirty and smelly girl, and Lou Jinchen asked him to boil water, and then told him about the girl.
Of course, he didn't know where the girl came from, and only told what he knew, and the girl sat on the threshold of the kitchen, hugging her knees, motionless.
After that, let the girl come to the bath room, into the barrel to bathe, he was about to go out to find clothes for her to wear, but when the girl turned around, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and did not speak, Lou Jinchen saw the horror that still existed in her eyes, sighed, and said, "I'm going to find a set of clothes for you to change." ”
As if she didn't hear it, the girl grabbed his clothes tightly, and Lou Jinchen had no choice but to shout: "Shang Gui'an, you go to Deng Ding's room to find a set of clothes." ”
Shang Gui'an knew that the girl was going to take a bath, so he had already left here, and after hearing Lou Jinchen's words, he went to Deng Ding's room to find a set of clothes, sent them in, and went out again without Lou Jinchen's instructions.
"Okay, the clothes are here, you can wash them yourself, I'll be at the door, you don't have to be afraid." Lou Jinchen said.
The girl shook her head, Lou Jinchen was about to peel off her hand, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Alas, so be it, anyway, you're still young, in fact, it's nothing, I won't leave in the room, you wash yours." After Lou Jinchen's promise, she took off her clothes, but one hand still grabbed Lou Jinchen, and she refused to let go even if she entered the barrel.
"Wash your hair well." Lou Jinchen looked at the filth on her head and couldn't help but say.
In the end, it took two buckets of water in a row before she washed it.
Maybe it was because she had taken a bath and was dispelled by the hot water that dissipated the coldness in her heart, her body was red, and her face was even more red in the light.
That night, Lou Jinchen asked her to sleep in her room, and then he meditated next to him.
The next day, her whole person looked much better, but still didn't speak, Lou Jinchen only knew that her name was 'Nannan', and took her to meet the Lord, the Lord looked at Nannan, and said: "It's a hard-working person, the first ten years have enjoyed all the glory, and in the future, you have to face the darkness, walking in the dark needs spell protection, there are two methods in this view, one is the method of refining qi, and the other is the "Dim Sum Dissolving Method" practiced by this view, these two methods can protect the body, which one do you want to learn." ”
The viewer had already heard that Lou Jinchen had brought her back last night, and knew where she came from.
This girl suddenly reminded him of another woman he had met, that woman, who had also experienced suffering, but after stepping into the cultivation, she was like a fire that lit up dry wood, illuminating one side in a short period of time.
As for Lou Jinchen, he already regarded him as a genius in his heart.
Lou Jinchen was a little unexpected, and the lord actually had the heart to accept her as a disciple when he saw her for the first time.
But before Nannan could answer, the flame next to the master of the temple jumped, and he seemed to know what Nannan meant, and said: "You want to worship Lou Jinchen as a teacher, Lou Jinchen is also a disciple of Benguan, you worship Benguan as a teacher, and Benguan will let him teach you." ”
Nannan looked at Lou Jinchen, Lou Jinchen nodded, as for the fact that this girl wants to worship herself as a teacher, he thinks that it is good to worship the Lord as a teacher, and if you want to learn from yourself, you can learn from yourself, anyway, you will not have any thoughts of cherishing yourself.
In this way, Nannan stayed in the Fire Spirit Temple.
The Guan Zhu looked at the figure of Lou Jinchen when he took Nannan out of the room, and couldn't help but think: "Although I am of average talent, if I have the opportunity to see my old friend again in the future, my disciple will definitely not be weaker." ”
Time flies, it's the middle of the month.
Lou Jinchen came to Ji's Academy.
The school was quiet, but there were no students, and the middle-aged man who led the way told him that the students were resting today.
"Does the Master teach the Fa for me alone?" Lou Jinchen lingered with such a thought in his heart, and finally asked.
"Usually, the master is resting today, and today I made a special trip to teach you the Fa for your son." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he stopped talking, and led Lou Jinchen to the pavilion where he sat when he first arrived.
Looking at the pavilion outside the pavilion, I saw that the pavilion was engraved with a name that I hadn't noticed last time.
Wind and rain pavilion.
The pillars on both sides are engraved again: "The wind blows a spring, and the rain sings to the silence of the garden." ”
He meditated in his heart a few times, thinking of Ji Fuzi sitting here, watching the trees in the courtyard sprout and bloom red flowers, and then it happened to be raining, and in the sound of the rain, the sound of the schoolchildren reading books in the room behind him came faintly.
Footsteps sounded, in the weather that was still a little cold at the end of this winter, Ji Fuzi was wearing a linen robe, his hair was also scattered, he looked casual and relaxed, compared to the last time they met, the exhaustion on his body was gone, and the sadness could not be seen.
Lou Jinchen knows that people can't live in negative emotions all the time, they need to self-regulate, this is not forgetting, memories are like things at home, they need to be sorted out and placed, and those unhappy memories can't be put on the table forever.
"You're here early today!" Ji Fuzi came to the pavilion and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ray of sunlight shining into the courtyard.
"The master didn't say the specific time of the month, and the disciple was afraid that he would not be able to hear it all if he came late, so he came early in the morning." Lou Jinchen said.
"It seems that you are still very hungry for magic knowledge." Ji Fuzi said, I don't know if it's because he is dressed casually now, so he speaks a lot more casually than before.
Lou Jinchen pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, I want to be able to see the world clearly, so I want to know more about spells." ”
"Well, I've heard this question many times, but I've only heard similar answers three times, and you're the fourth."
Lou Jinchen wanted to ask who those three people were, but thought that if he asked, as soon as Ji Fuzi said it, wouldn't he want to talk endlessly, and the time to say it would be gone, so Lou Jinchen didn't ask.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had brought Lou Jinchen into the school before served a pot of tea, and then served porridge and side dishes. The master shouted to Lou Jinchen to eat together, but Lou Jinchen happened to not eat, so he sat down to eat.
Neither of them spoke, just ate quietly, after eating, the two drank tea again, Lou Jinchen poured it for the master, and brought it to him, the master did not refuse, and said: "You toast my tea, then it is my disciple." ”
In fact, Lou Jinchen doesn't care about worshipping one more teacher, but he minds saying, 'If you worship me as a teacher, you will only be my disciple', although this will bring him a lot of benefits, but he can't pass the level in his heart.
Because he knows very well that all the good things he has now come from past experiences, and people must not be ungrateful.
"The disciple understands that life is between heaven and earth, and respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is fundamental." Lou Jinchen said.
"Okay, from today on, you are a disciple of my Ji Academy, and you don't have to call me Master, you can also call me Master." After Ji Fuzi finished speaking, he did not stop and continued.
"Confucian magic, do not pass on traitors and villains, do not pass on unfilial people, and do not pass on vicious gangsters, you have this thought, very good! I see you acting in a heroic manner, and you need to be careful of being deceived in the future. Ji Fuzi said.
"Why did the Master say that?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"I remembered a friend of mine, who was trustworthy, arrogant, and straightforward, but was deceived by others and mistakenly killed good people, and was squeezed by others, and finally committed suicide to apologize, and later learned that it was all a trap set by others."
What else can Lou Jinchen say, the master is not a person who needs his comfort, and I don't know how long this has been, Lou Jinchen secretly warned himself to be careful, the master gave this example to let himself understand the sinister nature of the world.
"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about it." The master said: "There are many sects of cultivation in the world, the Fa-rectification, the side door, and the left path, but no matter which one it is, the exercises are fundamental, take the qi refining method you are cultivating as an example, the cultivation of the sun and the moon is the fundamental exercise, and all the spells will be derived from it. ”
"Gongfa is the fundamental method, but there are many ways to apply it, and there are thousands of ingenious ways, so we call it magic. When we find the common ground of various exercises, we can learn from each other's practice, so there is another saying that different paths lead to the same end. ”
"What do you think we cultivate, what do you cultivate?"
"Body, Consciousness, Soul." Lou Jinchen immediately answered these three, but after a deep sigh, he said: "Faith, virtue, and understanding of this heaven and earth." ”
"Very good, you will have these understandings, which means that you are really practicing, unlike some other people who only practice step by step according to the cultivation exercises, these people are like someone else's paved road there, and he walks up one step at a time, that is, he doesn't know why this path is cultivated like this, and he doesn't know where it leads."
"The body, soul, and consciousness are our foundations, and all the exercises are centered around to strengthen these three, but all kinds of exercises have different emphases, such as the feathering method, the cultivation of the soul, and the strengthening of the soul through conscious visualization, the physical body is like a boat, where the soul cannot exist alone between heaven and earth, and can never abandon the physical body."
"No matter what sect of practice it is, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is one's own consciousness, which derives thoughts from consciousness and achieves true mana."
Lou Jinchen listened carefully, there were things he had already figured out, and there were things he hadn't figured out yet.
"There is a delusional person surnamed Huang once said, 'All the Dharma in the world is born from delusion, not extinguished by delusion', and the delusion here should be very clear that it refers to the various thoughts that arise from life, although he exaggerates the delusions, but all the results of our cultivation are indeed starting from the mind, and then acting on the body or soul to make it elevate, change, and then feed back into the consciousness to make it stronger."
"Do you remember the origami spell?" The Master asked.
Lou Jinchen nodded again and again.
"This spell is actually very simple, as long as your magic thoughts are strong enough, and you also know enough about the white crane, then you can achieve a single thought illusion, the paper crane is formed by my soul attachment, then why do I still have to say that sentence 'Go to Qingluo Valley to find Hua Xiaoxiao', because it is my auxiliary thoughts, not the main thoughts."
"What is an auxiliary thought?" Lou Jinchen asked. He can understand the main and auxiliary statements, but is there a distinction between the main and auxiliary thoughts?
"When a lamp is lit, you can see the flames, you can see the lights, where is the light and the flames, where is the Lord, where is the auxiliary?" Ji Fuzi said.
With this metaphor, Lou Jinchen understood that his thoughts could sense some danger in the distance, which was like light, but it was not his main thought, just like the light illuminated the people in the distance, but it could not make them burn.
He thought of his 'Heart Sword' again, and couldn't help asking: "Master, I have a method called the Heart Sword, which can sense the enemy's location and shine it into my heart, and then I can use the sword to kill him, and this method can be explained." ”
"Your 'heart sword' should come from the law of the heart seal, the so-called heart seal, also known as the heart response, the mind response, there is a more popular saying called induction, so the feeling and response, is the law, is this truth."
"It's like, you are a lamp, the Dharma thoughts are like fire, emitting light, illuminating the surroundings, someone in the darkness in the distance calls your name, you hear it, your main thoughts are bound by yourself, and you don't respond, but the auxiliary thoughts that are like light on the outside will respond, often because the auxiliary thoughts are weak, you can't even detect it, it's like the light shines into the distance, and you can't illuminate the things in the darkness at all."
"But it's good that you can capture your own wisps of gossamer auxiliary thoughts and make them carry some of the will of the main thoughts." The Master said.
After Master Lou Jinchen explained clearly, he felt that he had some ideas again.
Ji Fuzi attached his thoughts to the paper crane, making it transform into a crane, flying far away, even if it was the main thought at the time, it would become an auxiliary thought, only a wisp of gossamer thought attached, maintaining the meaning of the words of Ji Fuzi's command, and looking for the destination.
"So, if you want to make a crane into origami, you also need to have a certain understanding of cranes?" Lou Jinchen said.
"Yes, it's not just understanding, when casting spells, you need to use two minds, so that the other consciousness imagines that you are a crane, and the more you understand the crane, the more you can transform the reality." Ji Fuzi said.
"So, can the things of the five elements be transformed into each other?" Lou Jinchen asked, because he thought of a spell like 'turning stones into gold'.
"Of course, however, the Five Elements Transformation Technique is a very complex and profound spell, not just as simple as transfiguration." Ji Fuzi's words opened a new door for Lou Jinchen.
"Then disciple, do you need to practice drawing?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"If you have time, you can naturally practice, Confucianism has the practice of the six arts of etiquette and music, the book of the sword, and the book is not only reading and literacy, but also refers to the book talisman and danqing painting."
Lou Jinchen sent that his Confucian Six Arts were not much different from what he knew, but if he wanted to explain it, it must be different.
Before I knew it, it was already noon.
Someone had prepared a meal, and this time they did not bring it to the wind and rain pavilion, but called them into the hall to eat.
The two ate and didn't speak, but after eating, Ji Fuzi said: "What I told you today is enough for you to feel for a while, you go back and come back next month." ”
Lou Jinchen saluted and thanked the master.
