Chapter 6: Enlightenment of the Path of Compassion
"Yo, where did this beautiful little girl come from, I didn't see it!" It was the teenager who spoke with him yesterday.
Tianxue recognized at a glance that this was the boy who was together yesterday, and she also had a good impression. He took the initiative to say hello: "Hello! My name is Tianxue. ”
"It turns out that your name is Tianxue, my name is Yanagihara, twelve years old, I think you are still young!" Yanagihara seems to be a really familiar person, and he can talk to anyone.
"I'm ten years old." Because of yesterday's words, Tianxue admired this young man's attitude very much, so he replied happily.
"Ten years old, two years younger than me, since we both live in the deacon's hall in the future, you can come to me if you have anything. I can help. Tianxue nodded when she heard this, and she also had a good impression of this young man in her heart.
"Senior brother, I'm going to Siyuan Pavilion to listen to the class now, what about you?"
"I'm also going to Siyuan Pavilion, I heard that today's Tianshu Zhenren disciple is going to give a lecture on formation, I'm more interested in this, what about you? What class are you going to attend? ”
"I don't know, I was going to see what's there?" Tianxue didn't have a clear direction of cultivation for a while, so he could only reply like this.
"It's okay, it's normal that you're young and don't know what you like. There are also many people who wait until the foundation is built to focus on refining weapons or formations, etc., you need to lay a good foundation now, don't worry. Yanagihara said patiently.
The two chatted for a while, and then they arrived at Siyuan Pavilion, and sure enough, the first layer was the formation class that Liu Yuan said, which was very hot, and the people who listened to the class were stacked, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Tianxue and squeezed in.
Tianxue looked at the overcrowded appearance on the first floor, and walked up to the second floor, at this time on the second floor was a white-bearded old man lecturing, and there were not many people, so Tianxue found a corner to sit on the ground.
I only heard the voice of the old man Cangsang coming slowly and clearly: "The so-called cultivation must stick to the Dao heart. If you can't stick to the heart of the Dao, you will lose your cultivation; The heavy ones go into the devil, walk into the devil's path, and harm the common people. As for what is this Dao heart? Everyone is different. Some people do not hesitate to kill too much in order to live forever, and this kind of Dao heart is against the heavens and the earth, and it will be even more difficult when crossing the earth; Some people act well, and the merit they accumulate is also helpful in overcoming tribulations. It can be seen that since we can enjoy a longer lifespan, we must also benefit the common people more in accordance with the principles of heaven. Then we might as well think about it, what is your Dao heart? ”
Dao Heart? What is my Dao heart? Tianxue kept this question echoing in her mind.
Slowly, Tianxue felt that all the noises around her could not be heard, and the whole person seemed to be settled.
The image of grandpa dying flashed through his mind; the picture of himself crouching in front of his grandfather and crying; a picture of a mother leaving a baby at the door on a snowy night; the loud cry of a baby croaking to the ground; The sad appearance of the parents after the death of the child. It seems that all the sad pictures that have never been seen have poured into Tianxue's mind, seeing all this, Tianxue couldn't help but shed tears, and silently said "Life and parting, love and hate, the world is really bitter".
These words seem to be said by Tianxue, and they don't seem to be words that a girl of this age can say.
However, as these words fell, a tear slipped from the corner of the girl's eye, and Tianxue emitted a soft golden light, and the noisy voices around her immediately fell silent.
"Someone had an epiphany!" One person shouted in surprise, and everyone gathered around when they heard the words, and they surrounded Tianxue.
"I had an epiphany after listening to a class! How come I don't have such good luck! ”
"That's it, this little girl seems to have just come, how did she understand it so quickly."
"That's not to say they're talented."
"Quick, let's sit down and practice together, maybe we can figure out a little trick." Everyone had an epiphany when they saw Tianxue, and there were many discussions.
"It's really rare to see a heart of compassion!" The old man was surprised.
It turned out that Tianxue was touched by the lecture and had an epiphany about her Dao heart, which is a rare compassion heart.
At this time, Tianxue's whole person was warm, and the light emitted from his body seemed to have the effect of calming the mind, and everyone listening to the lecture immediately meditated, hoping to comprehend their Dao heart under the light of this compassionate heart.
In the distant Qinglong Temple, Master Jueyi seemed to have sensed something, and he paused when he knocked on the wooden fish's hand.
"Master! What's wrong? The disciple under the seat asked.
"It's not just someone who understands compassion, it's just that it feels like it's thousands of miles away."
"Compassion, isn't it my disciple? Isn't that related to my Buddhism! Kongzhu asked excitedly.
"Yes! Although I am not a disciple of my sect, I will meet by fate! In the future, when you go out to travel and meet this person, you can invite you to Qinglong Temple as a guest. ”
"Yes! Master! Kongzhu replied.
As Tianxue comprehended the heart of compassion, the white and chaotic place where he knew the sea changed, the sky was bright, and the earth was vast. In the Siyuan Pavilion, as the light around Tianxue's body receded, everyone stayed for a while and then dispersed, leaving only Tianxue alone to still maintain a settled posture.
"Little girl, wake up!" With this shout, Tianxue's divine consciousness returned to reality, it turned out that he had been staying for so long, and the people who were listening to the lecture had all gone, and the white-bearded old man who had just given the lecture looked at Tianxue with a smile.
"This uncle, why is there no one left, have I stayed for a long time?" Tianxue said embarrassedly.
"Yes, it's long since the class is over, and everyone is gone. Congratulations on your understanding of compassion, which is very rare! The old man said with a smile.
"Compassionate, it turns out that my Dao heart is compassionate!" Tianxue muttered.
"Yes, many immortal cultivators are killed, compassion is indeed rare, it can be of great help to you when you cross the tribulation, the little girl will have a great transformation!" The old man stroked his beard and said happily.
"And where was I just now, and I woke up when I heard your voice?" Tianxue asked puzzled.
"That's when you are in your own sea of knowledge, if you have a Dao heart, you will have the sea of knowledge, and you will be able to cultivate in the sea of knowledge in the future, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. Everyone's sea of knowledge is their own Dao heart illusion, and the sea of knowledge of the person who kills must not be an inch of grass, I guess your sea of knowledge must be very comfortable, right? The old man asked.
"There are blue skies and white clouds in my sea of knowledge, and an endless meadow." Tianxue replied.
"Sure enough, it's the power of compassion! Do you know how precious this is? Don't talk about it to others when you go out of the mountain gate in the future, in the eyes of the demon cultivator, you are a piece of Tang monk meat! The old man said solemnly.
"I see, thank you for your teachings." Tianxue listened carefully and knew that this was the old man teaching her to protect herself, so she kowtowed respectfully.
"Get up, I like it, you girl. I am the old man of Siyuan Pavilion, you can come if you want to read in the future, you can borrow it if you like it, as long as you return it on time. You can take this jade plate," he said, and handed a wooden token to Tianxue.
"This Siyuan Pavilion has a total of nine floors, the lower three floors open the altar to give lectures, and the four floors above contain all the books and exercises of Luoxiamen. It's just that there are restrictions according to cultivation, and you can only see the fourth layer of Qi cultivation now, and when you practice Qi at the third level, you can only go to the top, which is also to protect you, so that you don't rush for quick success and quick profit if your cultivation is still shallow, and you will go mad. The old man explained.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, Grandpa." Tianxue was overjoyed, everyone else had to rely on spirit stones to read books, and now that he has this token, he can read it for as long as he wants, which is a big advantage. And the grandfather of the pavilion master reminded Tianxue of his grandfather, and couldn't help but cry.
When the old man looked at it, he asked, "Why are you crying?" Feeling overjoyed? ”
"I think of my grandfather, you are as good to me as my grandfather." Perhaps it was Tianxue's pure heart that moved the old people in the east and made him feel even more pity for Tianxue.
"Don't cry, little girl! The little face is crying! The old man in the east swept the dust, and Tianxue's face was clean.
"Huh!" Tianxue looked at the clean clothes, touched her face, and wondered where the tears had gone.
The old man of Donglin laughed: "You girl, you don't know any exercises!" I just gave you a dust purifier. ”
"I haven't started learning the exercises yet, it's amazing!" Tianxue smiled cutely.
The old man of Donglin taught Tianxue a few simple beginner exercises such as dust purification and ignition techniques on the spot, and Tianxue also learned it seriously.
It didn't take long for Tianxue to master these spells, but his cultivation was still shallow, and there was only a little bit of fire on his fingertips, and he really didn't have any attack power at all.
However, the old man Donglin didn't laugh at Tianxue, looking at this little girl's serious cultivation, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first entered Luoxia Gate when he was young.
At that time, he was also a teenager, and he was selected from the family and sent to Luoxiamen to cultivate immortals. His qualifications were mediocre, and he was never accepted as an apprentice by the elders, and later he was also the previous pavilion master of this Siyuan Pavilion who took pity on him and instructed him to practice. Maybe after all, his qualifications are mediocre, and he has been in the middle stage of foundation building for two hundred years.
It's a pity that his cultivation has stagnated, and he can't break through the prison and become a real person in Jindan, otherwise it would be good to accept this little girl as a disciple. I'm afraid that this kind of apprenticeship will delay her. So he secretly resolved to take good care of this poor little girl.
"If you want to come to read in the future, if you have any cultivation problems, you can also go to the inner hall of Siyuan Pavilion to find me, and tell the disciple in charge that they will take you there."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, Grandpa!" Tianxue can get the guidance of the old man in the east, and he already feels very lucky, and hearing the old man in the east say this, Tianxue is even more grateful.
"You little girl Yuxue is smart, and you are a grandfather, of course I have to train you well!" The old man in the east also made a joke, and the old and the young in the Siyuan Pavilion were happy.
