Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Hundred Years of Green Bamboo
When the other monks heard Xiao Ling's name, their faces changed with contempt, and they all looked at Xiao Ling with respect
Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly at Xin Ning and said, "The rumors are exaggerated, I'm just an ordinary monk."
Xin Ning said: "Daoyou is modest, you can know from your song, Daoyou is not ordinary people can be more brave than can you invite Daoyou into my bamboo forest to talk about just a song, I don't know a lot∥ I can get Taoist advice"
Xiao Ling saw that Xin Ning's tone was sincere, and he naturally let go of his arrogance, and nodded and said: "I don't dare to point out, but I can communicate with each other."
Hearing this, Xin Ning turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Then Daoyou will go inside, please!" As he spoke, he led the way in front first
Xiao Ling followed behind him, and the other monks followed the two of them, heading towards the interior of the bamboo forest
There were several formation obstacles at the edge of the bamboo forest, and when Xin Ning led the way in front, his pace slowed down, allowing Xiao Ling to move forward behind him
These formations were no obstacle to Xiao Ling, but he also had no intention of revealing his formation knowledge, so he only followed closely behind Xin Ning
It didn't take long for a few people to reach the depths of the bamboo forest, the green bamboo forest is really different ♀ from the outside world, surrounded by green bamboo, a trace of aura emerges from the ground, between the bamboo branches, making the aura inside it much thicker than the outside world
There is a row of simple bamboo houses in the depths of the bamboo forest, there is the only open space in the bamboo forest before the bamboo house, there are bamboo chairs and bamboo tables ♀ in the open space, the bamboo branches are densely packed around, and a few rays of sunlight shine through the bamboo leaves, and the afterglow shines brightly, showing a quiet place
Xin Ning took Xiao Ling to a bamboo table, asked Xiao Ling to sit down on a bamboo chair, turned around and ordered a monk to prepare tea and pour water, and the other monks retreated
After a brief order, Xin Ning sat down opposite Xiao Ling, and after a while, a monk came over with tea
Xiao Ling took the tea, and saw a few tender bamboo leaves floating in the teacup, and a faint bamboo fragrance wafted out, which made Xiao Ling feel refreshed
At this time, Xin Ning opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Daoyou, this is my unique bamboo leaf tea of Cuizhu Peak, which is made from the young leaves of Cuizhu, which is fragrant and spiritual, and can awaken and promote qi."
Xiao Ling gently drank a sip of tea when he heard this, the fragrance and slight sweetness gushed out, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, it tastes good, and it also contains the aura ♀ in the green bamboo, and the taste of the bamboo leaf tea is better than the taste of the spiritual bamboo shoots!" Xiao Ling tasted the tea, and remembered the spiritual bamboo shoots he had eaten, which were hard and tasteless, and they were much ♀ worse than the taste of this tea, so he said it without thinking
Xin Ning smiled when he heard this: "Daoist friends have eaten my Cuizhu Peak's spiritual bamboo shoots! These two tastes are different, but the difference in the concentration of spiritual energy contained in them is also huge, and the bamboo leaf tea can't be compared to the only spiritual food in my peak."
Xiao Ling thought that the spiritual bamboo shoots he ate were forcibly grabbed on this Cuizhu Peak, and he couldn't help but feel a void in his heart, and immediately changed the topic and said: "That is, the production of this bamboo leaf tea is not simple, will the process be very complicated?"
Xin Ning said: "Do you also have a study on tea? The production process of this bamboo leaf tea is not complicated, it is rare to pick the tender bamboo leaves for tea making bamboo leaves The tender bamboo leaves for making bamboo leaf tea must be grown out of the bamboo shoots breaking into the shell of bamboo, the bamboo leaves of this period are tender, and they contain the residual aura in the bamboo shoots, which is the only material for making this bamboo leaf tea, because the young bamboo leaves produce less every year, and it seems that the bamboo leaf tea is precious."
Xiao Ling nodded and said: "I see, no wonder this bamboo leaf tea can have such an effect, good things are hard-won."
Xin Ning said: "Daoyou said well, I have studied the way of flute sound for more than ten years, and only today I have met a bosom friend who I admire, which shows that this person who understands sound is even more difficult to find."
Xiao Ling laughed: "The girl praised me highly, if you talk about the way of music, I only know a little about the skin, and today I was attracted by the girl's song, and I realized that I played the sound of static change.
Xin Ning saw that Xiao Ling said that the music was above the music, and immediately perked up and said: "The sound of static change? I need to calm my mind and calm my mind when I practice the heart method, my song is also my music every time I practice in order to dispel the distracting thoughts in my heart I liked music when I was a child, that is, I like to attach the thoughts in my heart to the music and then embark on the road of cultivation, and I often borrow the word "calm and quiet" in the music tone, which is the core of my cultivation of the mind, I don't like disputes, I don't like to mourn, fame and fortune, in order to cultivate my 'quiet and stable mind' to a high and profound place Today, I heard a song from a Taoist friend, thisOn the path of 'quietness', the comprehension of Taoist friends seems to be much deeper than mine."
Xiao Ling said: "Quiet and stabilize the mind, you need to rely on comprehension and practice, it turns out that there are still such cultivation methods in the world, I don't understand the true meaning of the 'quiet' way, but I really want to know how the girl understands the word 'quiet'?"
Xin Ning raised his head and said without hesitation: "The water has no waves, everything does not move, and there is no thought in the heart, which should be the ultimate in quietness."
Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "In the next and the girl's understanding is different, I have learned one." Wind swing plum blossoms' strange law, pay attention to the body into nature, no self and no phase ♀ is actually a kind of quiet, everything in the world has its own dominance, not one person can control it, how can they all keep the water not controlled by people, but also can not prevent it from making waves and people as long as they live, they will inevitably have thoughts, there is no thought in the heart, only the dead can do it and quiet, not nothing, not unchanged, but a word with the wind and waves, with the movement, with the change and change When you follow into the changes around you, that is selfless, is integrated into nature, is quiet"
After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he also had a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart× Ning was even more enlightened when he heard this, as if facing a closed door, he had been studying how to open it, and suddenly someone handed him a key in his hand× Ning instantly realized a lot, closed his eyes on the chair for a while, and quickly sorted out the content of the realization in his mind
The two sat for a long time, Xiao Ling casually sipped bamboo leaf tea, and his eyes inadvertently swept on Xin Ning's face until Xin Ning opened his eyes, Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Miss Xin, you are talking nonsense, making you think too much"
Xin Ning said with a grateful look in his eyes: "Thanks to the Taoist friends for waking up today, otherwise Xin Ning has always misunderstood the true meaning of Jing, and cultivating to the possibility that the Taoist friends who may never be able to walk on the avenue will never be able to walk on the avenue today's grace, Xin Ning should always remember."
Seeing that Xin Ning said this, Xiao Ling became uncomfortable: "The girl's words are serious, it's just a feeling"
Xin Ning said: "It's not just a feeling, Taoist friends use flute sound to express their feelings, and the method of replacing the change of all things with sound change has also benefited Xin Ning a lot."
Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "It's all your own realization, it's not my credit."
Xin Ning smiled and said: "Daoyou is modest, I haven't asked Daoyou to come to my Cuizhu Peak yet, but I have affairs to deal with."
Xiao Ling nodded and said: "I came down here, in order to ask for a hundred years of green bamboo main pole"
Xin Ning said: "This matter is easy to do, in my green bamboo forest, Taoist friends can pick and smoke at will, I can give you one for free, but I don't know what the use of this green bamboo is for friends?"
Xiao Ling said: "It's not good to be free, I can exchange things for what I want to use this green bamboo to refine a musical instrument."
Xin Ning smiled and didn't refuse: "Xiao Daoyou will pick Cuizhu first!"
The growth period of green bamboo is long, a bamboo from bamboo shoots to the final natural death takes thousands of years for bamboo, young bamboo is too tender, adult bamboo can not be too old, 100 years of green bamboo is the best material in green bamboo
Xiao Ling was not polite at the moment, stood up and walked to the side of the bamboo forest, walked directly to the bottom of a green bamboo and said: "This green bamboo, I can take half of it."
When Xin Ning heard this, the strength in his hand showed and waved towards the middle of the green bamboo, and the green bamboo suddenly fell
Xiao Ling immediately jumped his body, took half of the green bamboo in his hand, and the gray energy shot out, and after a while, he removed the branches and leaves on the bamboo pole and folded the bamboo pole into a few sections and put it into the storage bracelet
After Xiao Ling accepted the cuizhu, he said to Xin Ning: "Thank you Miss Xin, I will accept this cuizhu, I don't know what the girl needs, I have some materials you can choose" Xiao Ling said, and took out several materials from the storage bracelet
Xin Ning shook his head and said, "No need, if Daoyou has to return the gift, why don't you wait for Daoyou to use this green bamboo to refine the instrument, and let me listen to a few tunes?"
Xiao Ling heard this request, and immediately said: "The girl's request is really simple, after practicing the musical instrument, then come and sacrifice the ugly!"
Xin Ning said: "It's time for me to earn it, a song of Taoist friends, better than the content I have comprehended for more than ten years"
The two exchanged pleasantries again, and then Xiao Ling said goodbye to Cuizhu Peak and headed towards Qingquan Peak
