Chapter 15: The Return
In the afternoon, Qingfengzi continued to preach, the two of them according to the countermeasures discussed in advance, the effect was surprisingly good, the scriptures were split and memorized, the two tried their best, compared with each other, and actually memorized the whole scripture.
In the next six days, just familiarization and comprehension, both of them had a very good understanding, and it only took three days to memorize the full text of the scriptures, and both of them had a lot of feelings about the yin and yang of the Daomen.
After many days of communication, Qingyun and the woman in white also got along very well.
It turned out that the woman in white was named Ji Ling'er, and her body was a peacock, and she had been living in seclusion in the mountains since she became an adult, until she happened to hear the news that Shangqing Sect was recruiting disciples, so she came to try her luck.
Qingyun confessed that he was an orphan, and he also got the news by chance, and the purpose was the same as Ji Ling'er, Qingyun had reservations, but he didn't know that Ji Ling'er was a little honest.
The Shangqing Sutra and Taoism recorded the content of the morning class, the detailed hours of daily life, and the norms of clothing and etiquette, and most importantly, clarified the teachings that were different from those of the Taiqing Sect and the Yuqing Sect.
The Shangqing Sect advocates that there is no class in teaching, whether it is a different kind or a human being, it can be fated to enter the Tao, but the same three Qings, Taiqing Yuqing disciples do not accept different adults to enter the Tao and practice, which is the most essential difference.
However, although the Shangqing Sect recruited different disciples, it explicitly forbade human beings to marry with different people, and violators would not punish human beings, but would punish different cultivators.
The way of punishment for intermarriage between humans and aliens is also very clear, and aliens will be imprisoned in the desperate realm of Tianlu Kyushu, there are twenty-seven desperate realms in Kyushu, there are swamps, snow-capped mountains, deep seas, and abysses, but all of them are sinister places, and it is difficult for aliens to survive in captivity.
From this point of view, the Daomen Sanqing is not tolerant of heterogeneous cultivators, even the most tolerant Shangqing sect, judging from the kneeling to enter the Mingzhi and the prohibition of marriage with humans, the Daomen's discrimination and prejudice against heterogeneity are deep-rooted.
From this, Qingyun roughly deduced that Xuanyangzi's wife was imprisoned at the top of Tianmai Snow Mountain, and she should also be an alien cultivator.
After the scriptures, about 90 people stayed, and the next thing is to learn to pinch the decision, which is also known as the grip of the trick, the twist of the trick, the magic trick, the hand trick, the magic trick, sometimes also called the fighting trick, referred to as the trick, is one of the most basic guidance methods for people in the Taoist sect to urge the practice of spiritual energy.
The way to learn to pinch is very simple, the head of the art is a beautiful female Taoist, the road number Qingyu, Qingyu Taoist people distributed twelve round stones to each person, the stone is about the size of a small quail egg, and the left and right hands are required to be able to hold twelve round stones completely, you can pass the level.
This level stumped many people, but Ji Linger was able to hold them all after two days of groping.
Qingyun asked for advice out of curiosity, it turned out that it was not that Ji Ling'er had a good understanding, but that Ji Ling'er himself was a peacock adult, and his fingers originally only had four fingers, but when he turned into an adult, he had five fingers, and the length of the five fingers exceeded the normal range of human five fingers.
Three palms, two between the index finger, two on the middle finger and two on the ring finger, one on the thumb and one on the index finger, one on the ring finger and one on the little finger.
Since the structure is different, there is no experience, Qingyun hesitated for six whole days, and he was at a loss.
On the evening of the sixth day, Qingyun was discussing with the pedantic scholar in the house how to pinch the round stone, and Xuan Zhenzi came to the door again.
In the same place, on the same night, Xuan Zhenzi's attitude towards Qingyun changed greatly.
"Dao Chief, have you ever found the tomb of Dao Leader Xuanyangzi?" Qingyun was worried about speaking.
"Yes! I have brought back the body of my senior brother, and I have also brought the fox spirit to the Shangqing Sect, and I have settled down, but it is not convenient for her to see you now, I will arrange for you to meet in a while, and you can practice here with peace of mind, and you must pass the assessment in full, and I will personally teach you the art at that time. Xuan Zhenzi's eyebrows showed kindness.
"Great, huh? Nianzhu is a fox essence? Qingyun was surprised.
"You don't know?" Gen Zhenzi was puzzled.
"Dao Chief, in fact, I have only known Xuanyangzi Dao Chang and Nianzhu for more than ten days, and I don't know many things." Qingyun shook his head helplessly.
"It's hard for you." Gen Mako spoke.
"Dao Chief, there was a female Dao Leader who asked me to practice holding stones to practice kneading, although I have been practicing for many days, I have been able to grip it hard, but it is extremely unstable, I have not been able to understand, can the Dao Chief solve my doubts." Qingyun raised his hand.
"Stone me." Gen Mako stretched out her left hand.
Seeing this, Qingyun was very pleased, and hurriedly took out twelve cobblestones from his bosom and handed them to Xuan Zhenzi.
Before, Xuan Zhenzi's fingers suddenly showed a strange posture, which was obviously not a gesture that normal fingers could do, but Xuan Zhenzi did it.
The twelve cobblestones are held firmly and do not shake.
"Can you see clearly?" Gen Mako spoke.
"I see it clearly, thank you." Qingyun once again expressed his gratitude.
It turned out that the twelve round stones did not have to be forcibly grasped like Ji Ling'er, but had to find an extremely strange posture, the thumb had to cover the other four fingers respectively, and the space between the fingers was used to grip them, and then the space between the palms of the hands was used, and the twelve round stones were sandwiched between them, and the fingers would be bent hard.
According to Xuan Zhenzi, this kind of fingering is the basic action of all fingers, and all other spell-casting fingers of the Daomen have evolved from this gesture.
Letting everyone hold the stone is actually to explore the most reasonable way to grasp, and this grasping posture is also the root of Daomen fingering.
Qingyun already had enough trust in Xuan Zhenzi this time, so he told Xuan Zhenzi about the Shenjin Ancient Sword and the West King Shending.
But Xuan Zhenzi shook his head and explained that the Shenjin Ancient Sword was given to him by Xuanyangzi, and it will be his unique thing in the future, and others can't take it or take it, and the West King Shending will definitely have to be returned, but time is not so anxious.
Xuan Zhenzi did not ask where the two artifacts were buried, only said that they wanted to ensure safety from being discovered.
After Xuan Zhenzi left, Qingyun returned to the house to study the fingering technique by himself, and it seemed easy for Xuan Zhenzi to do, but it was not so easy to do.
It wasn't until the next morning that Qingyun could hold it steadily, and the pedantic scholar Qingyun helped him to hold the cobblestone smoothly.
The scholar's name is Liu Chang'an, although he is more than ten years older than Qingyun, but he admires Qingyun, a teenager, and he is full of words and sentences that he will be rewarded in the future, and he will serve before and after the saddle every day.
Qingyun was noncommittal, and he didn't think much about it.
Giving favors to others and asking for something in return is not the work of a gentleman, since it is help, then it should be gratuitous in nature.
But any help that is asked for and has a purpose is not considered a favor, but can only be counted as an exchange.
People in the world are dull, and they often show gratitude for the help of others, but they don't know that in many cases help is purposeful, and of course, it is not excluded that there are good people in the world.
But judging from Qingyun's life insights and experiences over the years, acts of grace are rare.
At present, Xuanyangzi, Nianzhu, and Xuanzhenzi are all counted!
