Chapter 292: The Way of the Cultivators
Cao An also noticed a detail, people's subtle is a very dangerous thing, the slow process of change is difficult to detect, only through a relatively long timeline comparison can be found clues, and at that time, perhaps people's hearts have already changed.
Even if it is very different from the beginning, it will be taken for granted, so it is necessary to be vigilant from time to time, find the 'island and reef' that can temporarily rest in the rolling red dust, cleanse the dirt and clear mind, and then continue on the road.
The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always dust, do not make dust. This is the path of cultivation, and there is indeed another higher realm, Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust, but that realm is not suitable for cultivators.
If you want to do this, you have to first reach the state of 'there is nothing in the first place', and nothing can cause dust anywhere, and such a person does not need to practice, and the person who cultivates must not be able to be 'empty'.
Wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha stays in his heart, if the world learns from me, it is like entering the devil's way. It is the same reason for placing it here, if a cultivator learns the latter, he will be in the path of demons without knowing it.
The mind is clear, the mind is pure, the body rises, and the door is pushed out.
Cao An is accustomed to drinking morning tea, a cup in the morning, it is the norm, Chang Qing warmed a pot of water early, the tea soup is just right at this moment, since the last thing, Chang Qing now does everything, there is an inexplicable calm, every foot of the line has stepped into the real place, not impatient, not anxious.
According to normal thinking, his energy was spent on these things, and it was expected that his cultivation should be pulled down, but instead of pulling down, his cultivation was much faster than before, although he didn't pay so much attention to the speed of his cultivation now, but no matter what, the result was developing in a good direction.
He keenly sensed that after a night, Cao An's spirit had changed again.
"Childe, have you made progress again?"
"It's just that I have figured out part of the matter, the progress of cultivation is only incidental, and the transparency of the state of mind is the key, otherwise it will only become more and more confused, and with the heart as the guide, it will naturally come to fruition."
Chang Qing listened, poured himself a cup of tea, and subconsciously poured it down, Cao An looked at him funny, "You drink like this, it's better to drink boiled water, it's more useful, get up early in the morning, how can you drink tea like this." ”
Tea is used to taste, not to say that everyone has to be a master in this, with a series of names for the tea ceremony cumbersome rituals to do that fine appreciation, the vast majority of people, do not have the mind and time, but if it is simply used to quench thirst, like evergreen like a big mouthful.
Not only can you not taste the good, but you will only feel bitter and unpleasant.
"You have to take a small sip, when the temperature of the tea soup feels a little hot in the mouth, roll it in the mouth, and then swallow it at the back of the throat, the frequency should not be too fast, and after the mouth is sweet and rising, take another sip, this is not to create any atmosphere and ritual, but simply this frequency to taste its goodness."
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, "Is that the case?" Originally, I only saw that Childe's behavior of drinking this tea was similar to that of other people's tea, so I thought that the two were connected, no wonder I didn't taste anything good, but I felt that this kind of tea was simpler and more pure in taste than their tea ceremony. ”
Cao An nodded, "As I said, after you get used to it, you will miss this feeling, get used to this feeling, get used to the entrance of tea soup and the sweet taste, this is an alternative experience that water can't give, in short, tea is not used to quench thirst, thirst quenching also needs water." ”
Speaking of this, Cao An paused, and then spoke: "Of course, tea itself is also a little addictive, because of the conditions, some people who drink tea for a long time also purely use tea as a thirst-quenching thing, but they don't feel so much about the taste of tea. ”
"There is no definite pattern, but follow your heart, and everyone will have their own pleasure."
Chang Qing smiled, "Actually, what Childe likes is still what you said before. As he spoke, he poured himself a new glass, took a sip, learned what Cao An said, swallowed it backwards, smacked his lips slightly, and his eyes showed a little surprise, although he already had the answer in his heart, but when that feeling really came, he still felt a little surprised.
It turns out that there is a way to drink tea.
On the side, the two people who fed Zhao ended their morning exercise, "Dou'er, are you going to the auction house with us today?" ”
"Don't, you have to sit for a long time to go there, I'm bored to death, don't go, Brother Shen and I plan to go around other places in Tianniu City, big brother, you and Uncle Chang go together." Li Dou'er actually hasn't been there, but he is very active and can't sit still, and since following Cao An for a while, he has been completely lively as if he had released his nature.
Its nature is also gradually becoming distinct, Cao An does not interfere with this kind of thing, and in some ways, the distinctiveness of the character is also a good thing, as long as you don't make mistakes.
I'm active, I can't sit still, although I haven't been there, but I've learned a little from Changqing, and I subconsciously don't like that kind of occasion.
Cao An suddenly thought of something, and threw a brown cloth bag out of his arms, "By the way, this is a storage bag from someone else, Xiaopang, you don't have a storage bag yet, this thing will be given to you, it will be more convenient to walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and it will be more convenient to put some things, I put a weapon for you inside, but it is best not to use it in this recent time." ”
Shen Zhong took the storage bag that flew over, and with a slight sense, he couldn't bear the joy on his face, "Brother Cao, this thing is good." ”
"Weapons are too recognizable, when we get to the Black Jiao Mansion, ask a craftsman to retrain this soldier, at that time, you can use it without any scruples, the ordinary treasure soldier, its preciousness is only in the material, re-smelting will not reduce its own grade, but it can save you a lot of trouble."
Shen nodded heavily, and carefully tied the storage bag around his waist, "I made a note of it." ”
Cao An nodded, "Be careful when you go out with your pocket, do you still have any money on you?" If you don't, take some points with Evergreen, we have made a small profit recently. ”
Hearing this, Chang Qing couldn't help but smile, this is not a small profit, this is five or six times over, ordinary business can not reach such a profit, after all, it is a short-term investment, and the return of violence.
After eating the breakfast provided by Fengming Pavilion, Shen Zhong walked out with Li Dou'er, but Cao An and Chang Qing drank tea in the courtyard again, and then left Fengming Pavilion, towards the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce, the two of them ran the breathing exercises, supplemented by acupuncture and clavicle means, and carried out disguise, compared with before, it was completely two people, except for the realm higher than Cao An's two, or people who were extremely sensitive to breath sensing, they couldn't detect anything at all.
In this world, everything is not so coincidental......
