Little by little, time passed.

Soon, Jiang Qi had been in the Wen family's temple for half a month.

The location of this temple is the front and back yards of the Wen family's mansion, and it is the side hall of the ancestral hall.

The reason why it became a family temple is that the ancestral hall ran the water a few decades ago and burned the original side hall.

At that time, the eldest wife of the Wen family, which is now the ancestor of the Wen family, built a family temple here.

Enshrine the Three Qing Dynasty and the Four Emperors and the Jade Emperor Datianzun, praying for the safety and health of the Wen family and all going well.

It is also miraculous to say that after having this temple, the life of the Wen family is better every year.

By now, he is already the richest man in Changping County, where Fengbo Town is located, and his business has even reached the county seat.

Even in the county town, it can be regarded as a famous and wealthy family.

This also made the old lady pay more attention to the existence of the family temple.

Wen Xiaoqin sat on the threshold of the family temple, supporting her chin with both hands, and looked at Jiang Qi in the main hall.

In fact, this family temple is not very big, and the shrine is divided into three levels.

The top layer is dedicated to the Sanqing saints, the middle is dedicated to the Jade Emperor Datianzun, and the bottom is the Four Emperors.

Sanqing is on top, with a higher interval from the lower two floors.

This means that the three saints overlook the Three Realms, but are not within the Three Realms.

The Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable in the middle layer is the only one who occupies the first floor.

In order to show that the Great Heavenly Venerable is in charge of the Heavenly Court, it is the meaning of the center of the Three Realms.

The lowest layer is the four imperial emperors who are juxtaposed with the momentum of the arch guard, which means to support the table.

This is the most common and infallible form of worship in the world today.

Wen Xiaoqin had long been tired of seeing these things, and she paid more attention to the Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the shrine.

The Taoist priest sat cross-legged, his back straight, like a green pine.

Where Wen Xiaoqin couldn't see, the Taoist priest moved a string of ebony prayer beads in his hand.

This rosary is a relic of the previous temple blessing, but strictly speaking, it is the property of the Wen family, because the predecessor of this rosary is the beam Mu Xin of the side hall of the Wen family ancestral hall.

Fifty years of playing has long been as oily as jade, but it is still a metaphor for being able to smell a trace of fire.

Wen Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Qi's back, and when he moved the prayer beads, his shoulders would also make subtle movements.

"Suck."

Wen Xiaoqin secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Jiang Qi with burning eyes.

After a long time, when Jiang Qi stood up after finishing the morning class, Wen Xiaoqin not only did not withdraw his gaze, but stared at Jiang Qi's movements even more hotly.

"Ape back bee waist mantis legs, dragon tendon tiger bone unicorn strength"

Wen Xiaoqin sighed regretfully and said, "You should practice martial arts, with your roots, it is not a legend to travel thousands of miles in a day." ”

"It's a pity that the bones have grown."

Speaking of this, Wen Xiaoqin said half regret and half angrily: "I don't know what your master thinks, Daowu is not separated, you have been a monk since you were a child, and your master actually didn't teach you martial arts!" ”

"I really want to ask your master what he thinks."

Jiang Qi looked back helplessly and smiled: "It's not easy to see my master. ”

"And this is the third time you've said that."

Since a few days ago, Wen Xiaoqin thought that he and Jiang Qi had become "acquainted", and began to inquire whether Jiang Qi would do martial arts.

And after getting a negative answer, Wen Xiaoqin will come to this every morning for the past few days.

"It's a pity!"

Wen Xiaoqin puffed out her cheeks, and then squatted back on the threshold as if deflated.

"If you practice martial arts, you will also be a great martial artist within a radius of 100 miles!"

Jiang Qi blinked when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I've disappointed you, Poor Dao has been kind to people since he was a child, never fights, and he doesn't like to overwhelm people with force, and he is really not interested in martial arts." ”

"It's a shame."

Wen Xiaoqin muttered, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Why don't I teach you some punches and kicks?" ”

"Although you definitely can't cultivate true qi at your current age, it's still very simple to fight some ordinary bandits!"

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes, sensed his abyss-like dantian Lingqi, and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Wen Xiaoqin was getting more and more energetic, Jiang Qi said: "If you have this idle time, why don't you practice with the poor Dao?" ”

"Martial artist, you are so brave and ruthless, your evil qi will accumulate before you know it, and practicing some moral classics can also dissolve your evil qi."

"Don't."

Wen Xiaoqin refused very simply, and said: "I have been taken by my grandmother to recite Buddhist scriptures since I was a child, but those words know me, I don't know them. ”

"Until now, I will also say that emptiness is not different from color, color is not different from emptiness, and there is also a sentence of human law and earth, earth and heaven, and heaven and earth."

"The Tao is natural."

Jiang Qi smiled and added the last three words.

"Actually, that's also a practice."

Facing Wen Xiaoqin's puzzled eyes, Jiang Qi continued: "The so-called Dao Law is natural, nature is all the tangible and intangible things you see. ”

"The practice is never confined to Buddhist scriptures or Taoist books, it is only yours."

"What you see, hear, do, and do is all part of natural change, and it's all practice."

Wen Xiaoqin was a little confused when she heard this, and asked, "Then is my martial arts practice considered a practice?" ”

"Count, it doesn't count."

Seeing that the little girl was becoming more and more confused, Jiang Qi explained: "Being brave and ruthless is not a practice, but doing good deeds and relieving misfortune is a practice. ”

"Moving from the heart, coming naturally, everything in heaven and earth is practice, the Tao and the Dharma."

Wen Xiaoqin fell into deep thought, and for a long time, she raised her head as if she didn't understand, and asked, "As long as you do good deeds, you practice?" Doing good deeds with martial arts is also practice? ”

"As long as you think it's right, that's practice."

Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"I seem to get some of it."

Wen Xiaoqin nodded deeply, then suddenly came back to his senses and glared at Jiang Qi.

"No, it's obvious that I'm going to teach you martial arts, why did you take me out of the house?"

"Who says practicing is becoming a monk?"

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "Ling Zu is still a layman, but who dares to say that Ling Zu has no merit and is not enough to practice?" ”

"Make merit with kindness, never stick to the separation of Taoism and Buddha, and never distinguish between laymen and monks."

"I can't talk about you."

Wen Xiaoqin shook her head in a daze, glanced at the sky, and sighed.

"I asked my sister of the Zhao family to enjoy the flowers!"

"Jiang Qi, see you in the evening!"

"See you in the evening."

Jiang Qi smiled and waved his hand, watching the cheerful girl run away like a rabbit.

He turned to look at the statue of Sanqing.

Come to the futon again and bow down.

Jiang Qi lowered his eyebrows, raised his hand, and the big red sleeves fell a little, revealing his wrist, and the Ouroboros red snake on his wrist was vivid.

"Huh."

Jiang Qi ordered in a low voice.

Then the Ouroboros moved a little bit, really insignificant, shorter than a speck of dust.

It's a time of the day.

Jiang Qi applied it to himself.

Every day in the future, Jiang Qi will do this, letting time flow on his body.

At the rate of mortal aging.
