Chapter 18: Palindromes
The white-eyed young man persuaded Ji Xiao a few times, but when he ignored him, he left with Daoist Zhang, who rushed over.
On the way, Daoist Zhang already knew that the white-eyed young man did not win Ji Yu, and said worriedly: "Uncle Shi, how can this be good?"
He blamed himself very much, he didn't know that Huang Tingjing was so important, so he sent it out casually.
The white-eyed young man said: "This is fate, you don't have to blame yourself, if it wasn't for the fact that someone was sent over there to ask for Huang Tingjing, we wouldn't know that it was so important." ”
"But now that the urging over there is tight, we can't hand it over, I'm afraid there will be little hope for the promotion to the top three grades. Daoist Zhang had a bitter look on his face.
The white-eyed young man said: "The truth is that even though he is high, but our Heshan Dao is not an eagle dog under him, let's not get involved in this matter." ”
Daoist Zhang couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "In this way, wouldn't you also offend that person." ”
The white-eyed young man sneered: "You were also offended by the one just now. ”
Daoist Zhang hesitated: "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a person." ”
The white-eyed young man said indifferently: "You are still too shallow, although the Great Liang Dynasty dominates the world, even our cultivation sects are not allowed to look up to us, but there are always some people in the world who can serve the powerful without breaking their eyebrows and bending their waists." Moreover, after all, we are monks, not officials, and not people. ”
Daoist Zhang's heart was shocked, "not an official, not a people", he suddenly felt a little sad, this was his original intention to seek immortals and learn the Tao, but after entering Heshan Road, he found that the monk is not a man who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
A thousand years ago, monks were not what they are now.
He said: "Uncle Shi's teachings are extreme, but he is really powerful to that extent." Daoist Zhang asked Ji Xiao.
The white-eyed young man said leisurely: "At least in our Nine Rank Sect, there are no such characters. He chanted again: "The river is clear, and you can wet my hair; The river is turbid, and you can wet my feet. The snow-white dust on his hand was sprinkled, like a white cloud, and I saw him stepping on it and riding the wind.
Daoist Zhang set up a sword light and chased after the white-eyed youth.
He understood what Uncle Shi meant, this is to go with the flow, be wise and protect himself, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Dark Incense Pavilion, Wu Chunniang's room.
Zhu Yicai and Ji Xiao sat opposite each other.
Zhu Yicai smiled: "I didn't expect the master to become a lecturer in the Academy, which really makes me very happy." ”
Ji Xiao said: "There is nothing to say about this matter, I have something else to tell you now." ”
He told Daoist Zhang and the white-eyed young man about it.
Zhu Yicai got up and waved at Ji Xiao, and said, "Thank you master for taking care of you, they are not ordinary people, or I will return the things to them, so as not to burden you, master." ”
Ji Xiao waved his hand and said: "Since you got this thing, you have a relationship with it, not to mention that it is not Daoist Zhang who really cares about this thing, but someone else." ”
Zhu Yicai said: "Who will it be?"
Ji Xiao said: "I don't know for the time being, it's just that this thing is in your hands, and they will find it sooner or later, now you show me Huang Tingjing again, I want to see what they want this book to do." ”
Zhu Yicai carried the Huang Ting Sutra with him, as soon as he heard Ji Xiao say, he took out the Huang Ting Sutra, Ji Yu watched it carefully, and read it along the Huang Ting Sutra, the positive mana in his body echoed it, but this was also the strange thing he discovered at the beginning.
Holding the Huang Ting Sutra and looking at it for a long time, Ji Xiao's heart suddenly moved, he tried to read the entire Huang Ting Sutra upside down, and something wonderful happened, this is another set of extremely exquisite breathing methods, and there is a clear difference between the mana cultivated and the mana cultivated by reading it.
Following the breath of reading and cultivating, it is obvious that it is neutral and peaceful, but the breath of reading and practicing upside down has a feeling that the sword is on the edge.
"Is that all?" said Ji Xiaoxin.
He started reading from the middle of the scripture again, and a new set of breathing methods appeared, and he felt his qi and blood stirring with it. If it weren't for his refinement, I was afraid that this set of breathing methods would be able to play a certain role in cutting the meridians and washing the marrow.
Ji Xiao found it interesting, and he tried to interpret it from the middle to the beginning of the scriptures, and sure enough, this was still a set of breathing methods for refining qi.
After using about a stick of incense, Ji Xiao tried many ways to read it.
This Huang Ting Sutra is actually like a palindromic poem, there are many solutions, and each one is different, with obvious attributes and very subtle.
He couldn't imagine how powerful the person who wrote this Huang Ting Sutra must be to be able to integrate a variety of subtle qi refining methods into one scripture.
Ji counted it, and this Huang Ting Jing has a total of 1,296 words, which is exactly the number of one yuan. The faint combination of avenues is really wonderful.
But that's all the secret of Huang Tingjing?
Ji Xiao vaguely felt that "Huang Tingjing" should still have a deeper secret that had not been unearthed by him.
Return the book to Zhu Yicai.
Ji Xiao said: "I suggest that you read it three times a day in the future, and then read it three times backwards from the end of the book, you may not be very comfortable at first, but if you stick to it for a long time, you will definitely gain a lot." ”
He has cultivated to a high level, has good knowledge, and knows that once combined, it is a powerful method that is in harmony with the opposite, and the effect after cultivation is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
Ji Xiao also wanted to confirm his own practice through Zhu Yicai's experience in practicing the Huang Ting Sutra.
This is a little selfishness on his part.
Because after all, the Huang Ting Sutra is very different from the Qi refining method of the Yuanliu Emperor Sutra, and the method of Ji Xiao's cultivation is still born from the Emperor Sutra in the final analysis.
The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. Maybe Zhu Yicai's experience in cultivating Huang Tingjing can help him break through the bottleneck.
Zhu Yicai said: "I will definitely do it, what is the amazing secret of this Huang Tingjing of Master Throbbing?"
Ji Xiao smiled and said: "For the time being, I have only found that there are many ways to read this Huang Ting Sutra, and as for whether there are any other strange things, I have not found it yet." ”
Zhu Yicai nodded slowly.
Ji Xiao said again: "You gave me the painting where Mei Sanniang was hiding." ”
Zhu Yicai took out the scroll, and he said: "Sanniang's painting is also strange, last time my maid accidentally touched it, and she actually got sick." ”
Ji Yu said: "This is because she is contaminated with the qi of the ghost yin and the qi of the yang, so she is sick, you can ask someone to make a dish of angelica aconite mutton soup for her to drink after you go back, and eat two meals to get rid of the root of the disease." ”
This medicinal diet is a very classic medicinal diet, which has the effect of warming and replenishing qi and blood, replenishing deficiency and dispelling cold. It was also taught to Ji Xiao by Gu Weirui at the beginning.
After finishing speaking, Ji Yu took out a blank piece of paper, brushed it a few times, and wrote down the process of making this medicinal food, and the amount and heat were clearly written.
He handed it to Zhu Yicai and said, "Although you have gradually improved your physique because of reciting the Huang Ting Sutra, and you are not afraid of the qi of ghosts and yin, taking this medicinal diet for a long time will still have some benefits for you, and you can also give it to the elderly at home to take it in moderation." ”
Ji Xiao sighed slightly in his heart, but it was a pity that the host and the elders didn't eat meat, otherwise this medicinal food could also be eaten by them.
Fortunately, before he went down the mountain, he had already quietly let the two monks take the elixir he had carefully refined, which improved their health.
However, because of the changes that have occurred today, it is no longer possible to refine the elixir that prolongs life, so after Ji Yu knew that the two monks were cultivators, he did not secretly give them the elixir, after all, the elixir could not play a big role. Now that the two monks are injured, they are given pills, just to replenish the vitality of the two monks.
Zhu Yicai took the note and kept it carefully. By now, he knew very well that Master Throbbing was an amazing strange person, and maybe he would be able to learn from the Marquis of An Ning three hundred years ago before he died at the age of two hundred.
An Ning Hou is a famous figure in the history of the dynasty, he loves alchemy and Zen, profound knowledge, and also compiles classics, and is very famous among the scholars, because he brought a gust of atmosphere, resulting in many scholars at that time to follow the trend to ask for immortals, until the imperial court issued a decree, to put an end to this atmosphere.
This decree is actually a little strange in the eyes of Zhu Yicai and others, because the dynasty has always encouraged scholars to understand the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, but why did the scholars start to cultivate immortals and ask questions, and then they had to stop it.
In fact, the reason for this is well known to the real court officials. Because the high-level officials already know the monks very well, they are only limited to the court law, and they will not say too much about this to their own children and nephews. Most of the scholars are not stupid, there are many talents, if these people defect to the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, they will strengthen these two families, and the rule of the imperial court will be impacted, and the imperial court will naturally not allow it.
Although Zhu Yicai is the third generation of officials, he has not yet been able to touch the secrets of this level.
Ji Xiao had already taken the picture scroll that Zhu Yicai took out at this time, shook the picture scroll, and Mei Sanniang came out immediately. I saw that her skin was snow-white, standing tall, indescribably elegant and cold.
Seeing Ji Xiao, she hurriedly bowed.
Ji Xiao helped her up with his weak hand and said, "It seems that you are recovering faster than I thought." ”
