Chapter 17 Six Positive and Six Holdings
Zhang Yu meditated in the Lin Yuan Monastery for a night, and at sunrise the next day, an assistant came to call the door, saying that he was inviting everyone to go to the palace, and someone from the Xuanfu came to preach the Fa.
He and the excited students went out of the ashram together, and came to a pavilion on the east side of the main hall, and saw that it was open and bright, the floor had already been sprinkled and cleaned, and a lot of plain futons were placed, and in the copper furnace, green smoke curled up.
The students were full of expectations in their hearts, and after humbling each other, they each chose a futon and sat down energetically.
After a while, when the chime sounded, all the students knew that the person who was teaching the Fa was coming, and they all stood up to greet each other.
As footsteps came, a mild-mannered young man walked in from outside the hall. Dressed in a large-sleeved robe, with a warm smile on his face, he slowly walked to the top of the hall, faced the students, raised his hand, and said, "Fellow disciples, my name is Fan Lan, and I am entrusted by the principal to guide you in your practice. ”
The students also returned the salute hand in hand.
After the salute, the two sides sat down in each other's voices.
Fan Lan didn't talk about the biography first, but asked everyone how well they rested last night, and whether the food was still in line with their taste? By the way, he also told an interesting story about when he entered the Xuanfu Mansion, and unconsciously, the students' originally slightly impetuous and excited mood was gradually calmed down.
Although Fan Lan was smiling and groaning on his face, he secretly always paid attention to everyone's emotions, and when he saw that the atmosphere was almost harmonious, he turned to the main topic and said, "Since you have seen the chapter of the Great Dao, you can be regarded as having entered the door of my Xuanxiu......
The students did not feel refreshed, but listened to him continue: "According to common sense, after planting the seal of 'saving me', when six seals appear, which are the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, and mind, these are the six positives, also known as the six holdings! In the future, all the seals of observation and reading come out of the six seals, which are the roots of all the seals, but because of the different foundations of each person's relationship and law, when the seal of the first time is planted, most people cannot see the six seals together.
The students looked at each other, but no one came out to answer.
Fan Lan smiled, pointed directly at Zheng Yu, and said, "Senior Brother Zheng Yu, yesterday you stood up and asked questions, and today you might as well talk about it first." ”
Zheng Yu hurriedly stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Senior Brother Fan, after I planted my seal yesterday, I only saw a 'mouth seal'. ”
Fan Lan smiled: "Very good, Senior Brother Zheng, don't be restrained, you and I belong to the same family, I have to be your teacher, just sit and talk." ”
He shifted his gaze and threw himself towards Zhang Yu again.
Zhang Yu's mind turned, yesterday he saw all six seals, if it was the Great Dao Hun Chapter, according to his teacher, only he could see it, but he was not sure if the Xuanzhang was the same, so he decided to test it.
He said, "The royal has seen three seals, namely the mouth seal, the meaning seal, and the body seal. ”
Fan Lan's eyes lit up and praised: "Not bad, not bad." ”
When Bai Qingqing saw it, he didn't wait for Fan Lan to ask, so he took the initiative to speak loudly: "I also saw three seals, which are eye prints, ear prints, and nose marks. ”
Fan Lan kept nodding and said, "Okay, good." ”
When the rest of the students saw this, they also reported what they saw one by one, but except for three people who felt that they had two seals, most of them saw only one seal, and even three people didn't even see a seal.
Seeing that the three of them were panicked, Fan Lan comforted them: "The three junior disciples don't need to panic, you just didn't put enough Divine Yuan when you watched and read the Seal of Saving Me, and if you come down and accumulate Divine Yuan carefully, you will definitely be able to see it." ”
One of the students was puzzled: "If we are weak and weak, do we have no hope of cultivating?"
Fan Lan said with a smile: "How can this be? There are a number of Shenyuan in a person's life, and the number of Shenyuan is how much, although the number of Shenyuan guided by the first time is different, but there is still no big difference, as long as the Shenyuan is sufficient, and then look at my seal, the six seals can be seen one by one, and the rest of the people are just one step ahead of you, not that they can't catch up." ”
The three students listened and then relaxed.
And those students who only saw one seal were also a little nervous, but when they heard this, they were relieved and regained some confidence.
Fan Lan didn't actually tell the truth.
In fact, there are still gaps between people, and sometimes even unimaginable differences.
Some people are born with a strong divine element, even more than the ordinary number, which means that they can read more Great Dao seals than others, such a genius, he has also witnessed it with his own eyes.
He glanced at Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing, nodded secretly, and said, "After these two people have stored my seal, they can see three seals, and they should be the ones with the thickest foundation among the beginner disciples this year." ”
After his mind turned, he spoke again: "Senior disciples, in order for you to be able to smoothly contemplate and recite the Tao Chapter, I will now teach you a set of breathing methods, which can be used to accumulate divine essence, I hope you will keep it in mind." ”
When the students heard this, they immediately sat up straight, and their expressions became solemn.
Fan Lan smiled, and immediately said a breathing method in an obscure and esoteric Tianxia ancient saying.
This is not because he is deliberately pretentious, but because only in this way can he better express the original meaning of the breathing method.
This is also why the people sitting here are all students of Taiyang Academy, because each of them has received the orthodox education of Tianxia, and all of them know etiquette and literature, and can understand the artistic conception and deeper expression conveyed in the ancient sayings.
Otherwise, even if you are literate, you may not be able to understand what is being said.
Zhang Yu listened carefully and found that this set of breathing methods was relatively simple, which was just suitable for people who had never been exposed to these to get started, but it was not necessarily possible to say how much divine yuan could be accumulated.
According to his experience, there is also a need for the combination of pills and supplements, that is, the so-called 'internal strength and external supplement'.
However, although he didn't think that this breathing method would work for him, he still needed to do it if necessary.
After waiting for a while, he tried to spit out a few times, and he almost mastered the trick.
Fan Lan secretly paid attention to the performance of the students, especially Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing.
He found that the two men had different approaches.
Zhang Yu took a long test first, but when he officially started, he quickly mastered this breathing method.
Bai Qingqing seemed full of confidence, and made a bold attempt according to his own understanding as soon as he came up, but after a slight stumble, he quickly entered the correct rhythm.
Fan Lan thought secretly: "One of these two people plans first and then acts, rethinks and re-examines, and the other relies purely on his own talent and focuses on his focus, if you want to talk about cultivation, it may be the latter to go further, but it is also possible, well, this needs to be written down and handed over to Senior Brother Xiang for reading later." ”
After all, everyone here is the best among the people, and after trying for almost half a summer, even the most sluggish one has mastered this breathing method.
Fan Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Shen Yuan is the foundation of reading the Dao Chapter, and I hope that all of you can practice diligently." ”
All the students made a loud promise. They have just entered the door of the Dao Fa, and now is the time when their enthusiasm is at their highest, and they will devote all their energy to this without being urged by anyone.
After Fan Lan explained, he looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing, and said, "Senior Brother Bai, Senior Brother Zhang, hmm...... And a few of you," he said, ordering a few more students, standing up, "come with me." With that, he got up and went to the back of the attic.
The students also got up one after another and followed his footsteps.
As soon as they came out of the back hall, everyone found that this is a garden, there is a garden corridor pavilion inside, rockery ponds on both sides, and all kinds of camellia are planted around, the core is tender and delicate, and it is moist after the rain, and it is filled with a light fragrance.
Fan Lan picked a place to sit down behind the stone table in the pavilion, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and beckoned: "No need to be formal, sit down." ”
After everyone sat down, he said in a casual tone: "Senior disciples, you are all people who have seen at least two Six-Righteous Seals, which shows that you are abundant in Divine Essence, and your progress will inevitably be faster than others, so I will not treat you and others in the same way as teaching ordinary people." ”
When the three students who saw the two seals heard this, they couldn't help but feel excited, and they suddenly felt that they were not bad, although they didn't seem to be as good as Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing, but at least they belonged to the top batch.
Fan Lan sighed: "My generation cultivates the Dao, relying on the chapter of the Great Dao, but there are countless truths in it, even if it is only the first chapter of the Great Dao, it is impossible for a cultivator to read it thoroughly. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to himself, "Therefore, only by using the limited divine element to find a wisp of mystery that is in harmony with oneself, and using it to break out, and then transform one's mind and body, can it be regarded as complete, and at that time, can it be qualified to ask the next chapter of the book." ”
"Senior Brother Fan, where can I find the mystery?"
The person who spoke up was Bai Qingqing, and he looked at Fan Lan for a moment, looking very eager to get an answer.
Fan Lan said with a smile: "That is the seal that is most suitable for you and others, and the first one you saw yesterday is it." ”
The students were stunned and couldn't help but feel a little difficult. Those who have only one seal are easy to find, but those here have seen at least two seals, and they still appeared together at that time, and there seems to be no order, but which one is the most suitable for you?
Someone couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Fan, I'm waiting to see two seals, I don't know which one of them to take?"
Fan Lan smiled and pointed around, "How did you feel when you entered here?"
The student thought for a moment and said, "It feels warm and comfortable." ”
Fan Lan pointed to the other person and said, "What about you?"
The pointed student twisted slightly, and said, "I only see the spring color in the garden." ”
Fan Lan laughed and said, "Then do you know what you should choose?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Zhang Yu had other ways to replenish Shenyuan, he didn't take Fan Lan's words as a dismissive. He pondered for a moment how he felt when he came in, and said, "It seems that the first seal I should read should be this seal." ”
