Chapter 20: Spiritual Roots
Lin Yi took the Yin Ming Pill, and after a while, he felt a chill rise from his stomach, and suddenly a sharp pain, like a knife twisting, spread to the surrounding layers layer by layer, as if the stomach and intestines were rotten, and he fainted to death after not supporting it for long.
The yin qi invaded the lower abdomen, and as if feeling some danger, it suddenly stopped. And the true qi that had been dormant for a long time took the opportunity to move and attacked them wildly uncontrollably, and the two forces fought and fought. True Qi is like a sudden rise of a foreign army, rampage, surrounded by the enemy, the lone army killed a gap, and hid in the dantian with a bit of yin and underworld qi.
The dantian seems to have been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and when it encounters the cold, he will feast on them, eat them and devour them, digest them completely, and the true qi will also be nourished, and then go out to hunt the captives, bring them back to the dantian, refine them, and reciprocate.
Lin Yi was groggy, and he was about to wake up, his body was like falling into an ice cave, but there was a warmth, wandering around, and every time he turned around, the chill faded a point.
The chill couldn't beat it, and some of them began to flee, rushing out of their mouths and noses. Lin Yi vaguely heard that the masked men around him were talking, and suddenly he was shocked a few times, then let out a miserable scream, and ran out with a roar.
Lin Yi was left alone in the house, suffering bitterly, and after half a sound, the screams outside were steep, and then abruptly stopped. In a trance, I heard someone enter the house again, hesitated for a moment, picked him up, and took him out.
Bumpy all the way, Lin Yi couldn't stand it and fell into a coma again. When I woke up, I was lying in a new place, and I felt that my whole body was in deep pain and pain. He couldn't open his eyes, and through the light coming from his eyelids, he saw many figures flickering, listening to the footsteps, and they were going back and forth in and out of the house, as if they were talking about something.
He wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth, he wanted to move, but his body was unconscious. It seems to have returned to the Huaijiang canopy boat, the water shadow in front of him is shaking, sparkling, and the sound of oars in his ears is rising and uncertain, which seems extremely unreal.
In a daze, his mouth was pried open and fed some liquid food, and someone took off his clothes and wiped his body for him.
In this way, I slept and woke up, woke up and slept, I don't know how long it was. He suddenly heard Luoshan's voice outside, as if he was explaining something, and the disciples responded scattered.
My mind went blank, I didn't know where I was, I struggled to recall, I only remembered that I was kidnapped, thrown into a strange place, and then fed something, and since then I have passed out in a coma.
"Where is this, is Master Luo lecturing?" he thought.
For several days, Luo Shan was outside giving lectures to his disciples.
Again, the mouth was pried open and fed food, and then the man sat down in the room and complained, "Why isn't Senior Brother Lin awake yet...... Shouldn't I be comfortable serving you and pretending to be asleep on purpose?"
Immediately after, a pair of fat hands groped around his face, pulling and pulling.
Zhang Yingzhuo - he remembered this voice.
"Brother Inzhuo, what are you doing?" asked a girl as she entered the room.
This is Luo Caiwei, Lin Yi understood.
"No, it's okay, hey...... Hehe......" Zhang Yingzhuo withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.
Luo Caiwei sat down in the room and said, "What did Daddy mean by what he said today?"
"Tao Te Ching, can't you understand this?"
"The Tao is very good, and the name is very famous...... Well, I didn't understand much from the first sentence. ”
Zhang Yingzhuo interrupted: "Wrong, it is the Tao but the Tao, not the constant Tao, the name can be named, not the constant name." Later, because of avoidance, it was changed to normal. ”
"I heard you right, but it's just a different word, what's the difference?"
"The difference is big, the word is different, and the meaning of the word is thousands of miles apart. Zhang Yingzhuo slowed down and explained: "This sentence basically means: human beings give names and reasons to everything according to their own opinions, but it is just a glimpse of the leopard in the tube. With the deepening of knowledge, the horizon is broadened, and the famous way is also innovative. ”
Luo Caiwei hesitated: "I still don't understand." ”
For example, in the past, the ancients believed that the sky was round and the earth was round, but later they discovered that the world was actually a round ball. With the progress of our knowledge, the deeper we understand things, the truth that we originally believed will also be overturned, and we will revise it back and forth. Therefore, the first sentence of the opening interpretation of the Tao Te Ching tells us that there is no eternity in the world. ”
Luo Caiwei suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, what about the back?"
"Nameless, the beginning of all things, and named, the mother of all things. It is said that all things are nameless, unreasonable, undifferentiated, and unified, until we understand them and try to give them different names, and then there is a difference. ”
Luo Caiwei felt confused again: "Brother Yingzhuo, what does this mean, how to name it?"
Lin Yi also listened attentively.
Zhang Yingzhuo continued: "This is the difference between yin and yang, and people understand everything by virtue of it. When there is cold, we will feel hot, if we are fast, we will feel slow, if we are good, we will feel evil, if we are small, we will feel big, and if we are born, we will feel death. On the contrary, there is no heat without cold, there is no slowness without fast, there is no evil without good, there is no big without urine, and there is no death without life. Therefore, all things are one, divided by yin and yang, and opposites are born together. ”
Zhang Yingzhuo gushed endlessly, expounding the essence of the Tao Te Ching, Lin Yi listened attentively, his thoughts flew around, and his dantian faintly wanted to move. He sank his mind, only to find that the spirit seed was already full, mixed with rich black qi, and the true qi condensed into rain and mist, pouring down from above.
The spirit seed devoured the yin and underworld qi, and after listening to Zhang Yingzhuo's sermon again, he struggled and shook, trembling and wanting to break, and there was a sign of germination.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears, old and long, as if it came across the endless void.
"You're here. ”
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that he was in a tea room, with wooden planks and wooden walls, antique. He sat on the soft floor, in front of him was a table with a whole set of tea sets on it, two teacups on both sides, and an incense burner on the table. More than half of the tea in the cup was moist, as if it had just been drunk, but there was no one on the opposite side.
On one side of the house, the stove is blazing, the wood is crackling, and the warmth rises in the room, making people drowsy.
What is this place?
Just when he was confused, the vicissitudes of life voice came from outside: "Come out." ”
Lin Yi got up like a demon, walked over with a voice, opened the wooden door, and for a while the cold wind poured into the room, and there was a vast outside: it was snowing heavily.
He walked into the ice and snow, and there was a figure in front of him, tall, wearing a black robe, with white hair, standing with his hands in his hands. The black robe and white hair blend in with the snow, looking distinct, but not abrupt.
The man turned his back to Lin Yi, looked up into the distance, and said leisurely: "It's snowing again in the Imperial City." ”
"Where is this?" Lin Yi covered his eyes with his hand and said in confusion. After saying that, he walked barefoot through the snow, and his feet creaked.
"Great Xia Palace. The man did not reply, but added, "This is not where you should be." ”
The man's left hand was behind his waist, his right hand was stretched out, his robe was flying, he pinched his fingers, and said, "I'll send you back." ”
In an instant, the wind and snow were in full bloom, overwhelmingly sweeping towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi's whole body was buried in the snow, he had difficulty breathing, he couldn't help but struggle in pain, and there was a voice in his ears.
"Brother Lin is awake!"
Lin Yi's hands and feet danced wildly, sat up from the bed suddenly, panting again and again, frightened, slowly opened his eyes, and Luo Caiwei's little face came into the curtain. In a trance, when she came back to her senses, she found that she was lying in the side hall of Qingteng Zhai, Luo Caiwei propped her hands on the head of the bed, staring at herself worriedly. Next to him, Zhang Yingzhuo was nibbling on a flatbread, stopped halfway through eating, and stared at him dumbfounded.
Lin Yi covered his head, drowsy, swollen and painful, it seemed to be a dream. He suddenly remembered something, hurriedly meditated, calmed down, and found that the spirit seed had broken through the ground and sprouted, taking root in the dantian, only half black and half white, and there was faintly black qi wandering away.
Planted a spiritual root?!
Before he could be happy, Zhang Yingzhuo came to the bed and complained: "Little brother, you can really sleep, do you know how hard I take care of you every day, look, I have lost weight." ”
Lin Yi glanced at him a few times, and found that he had gained a lot of weight, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Zhang has worked hard. ”
"Just one word?" Zhang Yingzhuo was quite annoyed.
Luo Caiwei glared at him and said angrily: "Brother Yingzhuo, don't be too loud, Brother Lin has just woken up and needs to recuperate." ”
Zhang Yingzhuo snorted a few times and said stupidly: "I don't care, anyway, he is awake now, and he has to invite me to a big meal." ”
"That's for sure. Lin Yi looked at the two of them with sincerity, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Yingzhuo shivered and said in disgust: "Hey, disgusting!"
Lin Yi ignored him, turned to look at Luo Caiwei, and asked, "Little Senior Sister, I remember that I was kidnapped that day, what happened later, why did I come back here?"
Luo Caiwei brushed her thoughts, and after Lin Yi was deceived by He Sirui that day, Luo Shan was furious, took his disciples into the city, caught He Sirui, and asked about his whereabouts, He Sirui resisted desperately, and was killed by Shen Wuxin, and Luo Shan took someone to save him...... All kinds of changes, one by one.
Hearing this, Lin Yi was in a mood and dizzy.
"Thank you, the boy can't be repaid!" he said in an excited tone, full of emotion.
"It's okay if you're okay, I'll go tell Daddy. Luo Caiwei was elated and jumped out of the room.
Only Lin Yi and Zhang Yingzhuo looked at each other awkwardly, Zhang Yingzhuo stared at him for a long time before saying, "Big meal." ”
"I see......" Lin Yi replied helplessly.
"Senior Brother Lin. Zhang Yingzhuo suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Lin Yi looked at him strangely.
Zhang Yingzhuo's eyes wandered, and after hesitating for a while, he finally said: "A few days ago, Miss Luo was also in danger. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi's face changed in shock.
Zhang Yingzhuo sighed and said slowly: "It's related to you......"
It turned out that a few days ago, Luo Caiwei personally went to grab medicine for Lin Yi, accompanied by Shen Wuxin, and when she arrived in the city, Shen Wuxin walked away for a while because of something. In the pharmacy, several gangsters saw that Luo Caiwei was carrying a silver ticket and leaving a single place alone, so they had crooked thoughts, moved their hands and feet, and made teasing words.
Luo Caiwei was furious and clashed with them, those gangsters were members of the Green Gang, who were used to being domineering in the city, who had ever been afraid of a little girl?
Then they fought, and Luo Caiwei was small and outnumbered, even if they had learned boxing and kicking for a few years, they were not their opponents......
