Chapter 42: Leaving to Visit Friends, Farewell to Hongchen
When Qi Wufu returned home, he saw that the old man was still calm and calm, cooking tea, and when he saw him coming back, he still asked unhurriedly: "Is it okay to return without confusion?" ”
"Hmm."
"How's it going today?"
Qi Wufu told the truth, and added: "The part I told today is all from Taixuan's "Chengxian Lu", as well as the practice records left by my friend, and I didn't tell the ones that my husband taught me. He still remembers that the old man said at that time that some parts are [you know and I know, only you pass on], and these are not allowed to be passed on.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "If you can touch the bypass and interpret other cultivation methods, you can be regarded as a beginner." ”
"Yes, good."
He immediately picked up the tea, but did not drink it.
I was about to put it in my mouth, but I seemed to remember something and paused.
Just holding the teacup, to put it mildly, the wind is light and casual and said:
"What about alchemy?"
Qi Wufu said all the techniques and skills when he was about to make alchemy, and the old man bowed his head and said, "Where did you get the technique?" Qi Wufu thought for a while and replied, "It was when I was preparing to open the furnace that I thought of the general outline of alchemy you said, and suddenly found that the method of alchemy and the way of running cultivation were the same, so I tried it." ”
The old man said, "That's it? ”
Qi Wufu thought about it again and shook his head.
The old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Qi Wufu replied: "When I was alchemizing, I saw that the sun and the moon appeared at the same time in the winter afternoon, so I had some understanding. ”
"Let's try."
"Luckily, nothing went wrong."
The young man's face showed a look of relief, and then he said:
"Later, I thought of what you said, the sun is the heart, and it is the cultivation of nature; And the moon is the kidney, and it is the cultivation of life. ”
"The sun rises and the moon sets, every day is like this, as if the two phases are urging, and there is a mysterious feeling, every day will not be late, nor early, as if heaven and earth are also a human body, see the rotation of the sun and the moon, such as the double cultivation of life, do not rush, do not slow, practice every day, do not slack, it is the name of [to return]."
Immediately, his voice stopped for a while, and he restrained his rarely revealed youthful heart, sat up straight, and said softly:
"It's all my own guessing, I don't know if it's right or wrong......"
The old man's movements paused for a moment, and he asked gently:
"What else?"
Qi Wufu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the rotation of the sun and the moon is like the dual cultivation of life. ”
"Then is heaven and earth also one human body?"
"Or is it that although you are small as a human being, you can also live in the body for a day?"
"It's small, but it's big?"
"Is the first step in cultivation to [look outward at the heavens and the earth, and look inward at one's own nature]?"
The old man exhaled slightly.
Want to drink tea.
A cup of tea is hard to lift and drink.
He was the only one who could see that there was a ripple in the teacup.
For a long time, slowly bowed his head.
Drink tea calmly and say just a word of kindness.
After a long time, he sighed before he spoke, as if he was quite happy, as if he was quite expecting, if he saw the beautiful jade covered with dust, after sweeping away the dust, he suddenly saw the brilliance, and said with a smile: "After listening to my general outline, I know how to use the earth qi to urge the sun and the moon, and then alchemy, when I make alchemy, I can understand the double cultivation of life, how many cultivators, meditating for decades, I don't know this truth." ”
"They may know these words, but they are only taught by their teachers, and they do not have their own understanding."
"Your understanding in this area is really good, it's not a lie, even the old man is a little scared by you."
"However, the potential of understanding is not something that you can be proud of, so you should guard against arrogance and rashness."
"The road is going slowly, not sooner or later."
"Do you know?"
Qi Wufu arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”
The old man looked at him, his eyes were quite satisfied, and he groaned, and finally couldn't help the joy in his heart, and stroked his beard and promised:
"Wait until you really have a big day."
"The old man may personally make a furnace for you."
"And you can watch."
"No confusion, encouragement!"
"Huh? Be!!! ”
A bright smile appeared on Qi Wufu's face that really belonged to the heart of a teenager.
He just felt that the old man was teaching himself, and he just knew that the old man cared about him, so he was happy.
But I don't know what kind of weight the old man said very peacefully, when I am refining the pill, you come to watch it, what kind of heavy weight it represents.
Time passes, but many things are no different from the past.
The night before departure, Qi Wufu made a lot of delicious dishes, and on the morning of the second day, Qi Wufu called the well water early, washed his face, and then changed into a clean suit, locked the door, and packed his bags, the focus is on the white paper full of the wishes of those murdered souls, Tao Taigong's jade book, the only clue to his past experience, the waist card of the Mingzhen Dao Alliance.
Then a piano and a sword.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Turning around and walking out, he closed his two wooden doors, looked at the house, and turned around to see the old man stroking his beard standing behind him, and the plum tree was in full bloom.
"Are you ready? If there's something you're not ready for, you can stay a little longer. ”
"No need."
"Haha, let's go."
"Come with me to visit my friends."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and walked out with Qi Wufu, the outside was a lively feeling, the New Year was coming, and the town was also lively, the butcher killed a pig, and shouted lively, the wine shop had some dry and thin work, but there was a lot of strength, and he moved out such a large wine vask, opened the mud seal, and scooped the wine with a gourd scoop that was dried and then cut.
The clean liquor falls, and the aroma is so strong that people can't move.
The vendors who only appeared during the Chinese New Year also came with scarecrows full of sugar people and sugar gourds, and on the small cart, Ding Ling thought to himself, Qi Wufu remembered that he liked these things the most when he was a child.
While my parents were still alive, when my hometown was still there.
The sound of frolicking sounded, and the children, who only reached the waist of the boy, ran and ran to the vendor, and the boy brushed against him like this, the children smiled brightly, the hem of the boy's clothes moved slightly, and the figure was straight.
The peddler bent down and smiled and pulled out the maltose, the rattle on his belt moving up and down.
The children collected some pieces of scraped iron, which they could exchange for a small piece of maltose from the vendor.
People come and go, everyone talks about what to eat during the New Year's Festival, which amazing guests come, but they don't seem to see this old and young, the fireworks in the world, floating from the cuffs, the old man stroked his beard and looked at the young man next to him, and asked with a smile: "It's going to be the New Year's Festival, it's so lively, go out with me, is it okay?" ”
Qi Wufu replied, "Yes." ”
"I've been through this before."
"So, it doesn't matter."
The old man looked at him, smiled and sighed: "Huangliang has a dream, which has broken the fame, but it has also made some of your things more determined." ”
"Go to the [false] and leave the [true]."
"It's the cultivation of the Dao."
"Then let's go."
"Hmm."
The young man took one last look at the lively town behind him, then turned around, was carried by the old man, and separated from these people who were full of the smell of red dust, and gradually walked away with his back, and finally even the cooking smoke on his cuffs dispersed like wind and smoke, the blue shirt was clean, and he carried a sword box behind his back, and there was a sword and a piano in the sword box, and his eyes were clean and gentle, and he was only a fourteen-year-old boy.
He walked with the old man to the top of the avenue.
Slowly walked out of the town.
"Uncle, is the one you want to see close? Can we walk? ”
"Haha, it's near and far, it's far and near."
"No Confusion ......"
"Come with me."
The old man stroked his beard and looked at the young man next to him, pun intended, and said with a smile:
"You are a good talent, and the old man will give you guidance."
