Volume 2: Lugu Youming Thirty-Nine: Enlightenment
He was confident that he had not been lazy in his nearly a year of practice, and he finally found the place where he wanted to live there every day, but the more he wanted to enter the inner door, the more he was afraid that he would not be able to enter.
The most worrying thing is your own spiritual vein, what if you fail to pass because of your inferior spiritual vein? Although Senior Tang said that his spiritual root had improved because of the Little Lotus Lake, he still had no bottom in his heart.
So at night in his room, not in the spiritual vein, he tried to meditate, and after a week, the result was that his heart was a little more settled. Tang Bonian said that his spiritual root is now above the middle level, above the middle and below, it seems to be true, in the past, if he did not practice in the spiritual vein, it was still difficult, but now there has been a lot of improvement.
The other disciples in the valley were also like Qian Chao, and gradually began to get nervous, no longer seeing people wandering around and playing on weekdays, and those who gathered together to compete and compete also found a place to sit and practice early every day, and for a while, this Youming Valley was a lot quieter.
Finally, one day at the time of breakfast, the senior brother Li of the sect instructed the disciples in the valley in front of the spring ring hall not to run around after breakfast, and after hearing the bell, he went to Tingtao Pavilion, and today the sect will open the spirit for everyone.
Hearing this, all the disciples present were of different colors, and most of them gathered in groups of four or five to talk about it. Among them, there are excited and fearful, calm and panicked, and even at the time of breakfast, many people have no intention of eating, looking left and right, and finally left in a hurry.
"Hey, still worried?" Tang Ping asked Qian Chao, she saw Qian Chao's anxiety a few days ago, and after asking, she laughed at Qian Chao's gains and losses.
"Yes, it's still a little, after all, I'm young, I guess it'll be good when this thing passes." Qian Chao replied.
Soon after breakfast, the melodious bell rang out, and the disciples of the valley gathered in front of the Tingtao Pavilion no matter what their mood was.
After everyone arrived, Senior Brother Li said to everyone that the person who presided over the opening of the spirit in the sect was an elder, and he was waiting for everyone inside. Then he let them in.
It is still the place where everyone used to listen to the scriptures, but today the doors and windows of the hall are all closed, and an old man in a green shirt stands in the middle, and there is a case beside him, on which is placed a small incense burner that looks like copper, and a stick of incense about a foot long is inserted in it.
After all the disciples were sitting cross-legged on the futon, the old man spoke, but he did not announce his name, but directly said this spiritual matter.
"Today, the old man was entrusted by the sect to preside over the opening of the spirit, and after a while, this incense will start at a moment. At that time, you can either close your eyes and meditate, or sit cross-legged and practice. When this incense burns out, the people who are still in this hall can go to the inner door with the old man, do you understand? ”
All the disciples said yes.
The old man tapped a finger on the incense stick and said, "Let's start." ”
A wisp of green smoke rises.
Or close his eyes and meditate or sit cross-legged and practice, Qian Chao thought about the old man's words, his heart is not the place of the spiritual veins anyway, so he can simply meditate here.
I knew that I was still in the Tingtao Pavilion, and all around me were the disciples of the valley who participated in the enlightenment, but the aroma was strange, and the more and more intense, although the taste did not become stronger, but faintly seemed to produce a buoyancy to lift up the money tide and float upward, the money tide couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and when he was about to open his eyes, he heard the old man's voice again.
"When the spirit is opened, everyone will be different, don't panic, let alone resist, just let him go."
After listening to the old man's words, Qian Chao understood that Kailing was like this, so he settled his mind, and he was able to float around by that buoyancy, and soon he was lost in it.
The coolness of the night condensed the water vapor on the tips of the grass blades, and the crystal clear dew reflected the rising sun, and a gust of morning breeze blew, the grass blades shook gently, and the dew fell into the soil and disappeared.
As the sun gradually blazes, the drops of dew in the soil are steamed out, swaying upward, and are carried into a large cloud by the wind in the air.
Finally, one day the dark clouds covered the sky, and when the thunder and lightning were blowing, it rained heavily, and the drops of dew fell into the mud.
When the sky cleared, the sun shone, the muddy land gradually dried up, a few days later the dew still swayed between the heaven and the earth, in the blink of an eye autumn to winter, by the north wind blowing, the dew fell again but fluttering six snowflakes.
It was deposited on the top of the tree for a winter, and when the spring was warm and the snow disappeared, it merged into the stream, and murmured for several days, but did not enter the big river, but went straight into the underground water vein, and did not see the light of day. Since then, months, years, I don't know how long, thousands of miles underground, I don't know where I am.
Finally, one day the eyes are bright, but in the deep well, not days with the grass rope barrel out, the wet people are full of people's feet, when they are dirty, they are poured under the grass and trees, and when the sun rises and the weather is warm, they will rise up and meet the wind and clouds.
After several ups and downs, it was finally slightly salty in the wind.
Qian Chao was lying quietly on an endless sea at this time, his heart was unusually calm, looking at the changing white clouds in the sky, he didn't know whether he was on the clouds or on the sea.
The clouds splashed thickly, the cool breeze moved slightly, and it rained for a while, and the drop of dew just fell, the clouds were blown away by the gangwind, the sun was blazing, and the raindrops that fell together were constantly transpired and dissipated, only that drop finally fell in the sea, right next to Qian Chao's ears, the "knock" sound, he heard it really well!
With that "bang", the voice of the old man of the sect who presided over the opening of the spirit came into his ears again.
"Okay, congratulations, Kailing has succeeded."
Qian Chao opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting cross-legged, but his eyes were sharp, but he saw that the old man had a small bell in his hand and a small mallet in his other hand.
Could it be that when the spirit was opened just now, in that strange realm, the last "bang" sound of water was actually made by this bell?
The old man also noticed Qian Chao, and when he saw Qian Chao looking at the things in his hand, he smiled slightly, and then instructed everyone: "Go back and pack up your belongings, don't delay." ”
At this time, Qian Chao realized that he had really passed through the Enlightenment, and from now on he could enter the inner gate to practice.
At this time, all the disciples in the hall got up one after another when they heard the words, and Qian Chao found that the number of disciples in this hall had decreased, about thirty percent of them were no longer in the hall, and their futons were also empty, only the remaining seventy percent were still there. looked to both sides, the first thing I saw was Tang Ping, who seemed to be looking for him, and when the eyes met, Tang Ping seemed to be relieved and nodded to him.
Tang Ping helped Yan Xuan to stand up, somehow, Yan Xuan seemed to have cried, looking a little sad, Tang Ping saw it and leaned down to wipe the tears on Yan Xuan's cheeks with a handkerchief, I don't know what to say to her, Yan Xuan listened to it and attached it to Tang Ping's ear I don't know what to say, I saw Tang Ping sigh helplessly when she heard it, and felt relieved to Yan Xuan again.
Li Jian was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, but his face looked very tired, he couldn't stop wheezing, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. When he reached out to help Li Jian up, Li Jian said: "What a spirit, it's really dangerous, I almost didn't survive!" This made Qian Chao very curious about what Li Jian had experienced in that enlightenment.
Only when Lu Pingchuan opened his eyes, he stretched his arms and stretched his waist, then got up and said, "Well, Brother Qian, I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time." ”
Qian Chao listened to the secret words, it seems that the elder of the sect said that when the spirit was opened, no one's abnormalities were different, and it was indeed true, and the feelings of the five of them were different.
When he walked out of Tingtao Pavilion, the senior brother Li of the sect gathered all the disciples together, at this time, this senior brother Li saw a rare smile, said a few words of congratulations to you, and then asked the rest of the senior brothers who were refining qi in the valley to give each of these disciples who had just passed through the enlightenment, and when he got the money in his hand, he found that it was a small bag with a hook and lock on it, which could be hung on the belt of the robe.
"This is a storage bag, since you have opened your spirit, you are a disciple of Qi refining, you don't need to teach, you will know how to use it at a glance, now go back to your respective residences and pack the things you brought when you came, listen to the bell and gather in front of the Spring Ring Hall, don't delay, go now."
When Qian Chao came, he brought a few robes prepared by his mother and a lot of dim sum preserves, and the dim sum preserves had already been eaten, but Qian Chao was very reluctant to bring a few robes from home, although he had never worn them in this valley, but Qian Chao was ready to keep those robes.
Like Qian Chao, Lu Pingchuan also had a few pieces of clothing in his room, and Li Jian didn't have any clothes with him when he came, but the sword in the room, which was an extremely important object for him, had to be taken away.
Yan Xuan's belongings Tang Ping had already helped her put them in her own storage bag, and now when she saw the storage bag issued by the sect, she took out those things on the side of the road and put them into Yan Xuan's own storage bag, and taught the other four how to use the storage bag by the way.
It's really simple, and a few people can understand it at a glance.
After each took his things, Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan walked towards Chunxiang Hall without waiting for the bell to ring, and met Li Jian on the way, who was waiting for the two of them while looking at the mountains and forests in the valley.
"Brother Li, I see that you look tired after the enlightenment, isn't there any adventure when you are enlightened?"
Li Jian nodded and said: "It's hard to put into words, when I was enlightened, I was fighting with people in that illusion, I only felt full of grief and indignation, to kill the enemy in front of me, it was really dangerous, I myself was injured in many places, and when I woke up, I still groped on my body, and I was unharmed." What about you, Brother Qian? ”
"I seem to have had a dream, dreaming of mountains and rivers, white clouds and flowing water, cold winter and warm spring, and finally I woke up when I dreamed of the sea."
Li Jian listened and nodded.
"I also had a dream, hey, it doesn't seem to have dreamed anything, I just feel comfortable sleeping." Lu Pingchuan also said.
At this time, Tang Ping was also talking to Yan Xuan: "Sister Yan, I told you that it was fake, this enlightenment in my opinion is that incense is making trouble, it can hook out what you remember in your heart and uneasy for you to test your mind, don't you break through, and besides, you have succeeded in opening the spirit, are you afraid that you will not be able to return home?" ”
Yan Xuan nodded after hearing this, at this time the corners of her eyes were moist, and her nose was slightly red, which was even more moving, obviously Li Jian, Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan cried again after leaving, and felt that there was no need to worry anymore when Tang Ping comforted herself, so she smiled shyly and asked, "What about you, Ah Ping, what did you encounter when you opened your spirit?" ”
"Me?" When Tang Ping heard this, Tang Ping laughed when she heard it, "I felt that I was playing with Xiaobai, and then a lot of big guys came to bully Xiaobai, so I helped Xiaobai beat them, and then it was gone." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qian Chao and the three of them coming over, so she said to them: "Hey, you guys are leisurely, are you still reluctant to leave here?" ”
Qian Chao listened, turned around and looked at the valley, the boulder at the spiritual vein could still be seen, and then turned back to Tang Ping and said, "It's really a little reluctant, what is the place where you stayed for a year?" ”
Lu Pingchuan also looked back, and said very reluctantly: "Hey, I'm still wearing a condom there, forget it, it's a pity." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang again.
