Chapter 7: Apprenticeship
Zhou Dafu hurriedly took a heavy burden from Yang Feng's arms, held it up in front of Wu Dahai and said, "Master, this is the school tribute he paid, just three hundred taels of silver!"
Wu Dahai's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the burden, which suddenly flew over out of thin air as if it was pinched by an invisible hand, and landed steadily on the divine case in front of Wu Dahai. The burden www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion then opened itself and spread it out on the divine case, and the silver in the burden also rolled all over the table.
Wu Dahai picked up a piece of silver with his hand and looked at the color, blew it again, put it in his ear and listened, showed a satisfied smile, and bowed his head slightly towards Yang Feng: "Young man, poor and apprentices, originally did not accept tribute, but in the past two years, the incense in the temple is not prosperous, the money is tight, and the income is not enough, so he made this decision." Since you can pay the tribute, you are the disciple of my seventeenth branch of the White Cloud Palace, the Red Wood Ridge Sanqingguan, from now on, you must devote yourself to cultivating the Tao and studying metaphysics, in order to achieve positive results as soon as possible!"
Yang Feng didn't seem to understand Wu Dahai's words, and still stood there stupidly.
Chow Tai Fook hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him and said, "What are you still doing?
Only then did Yang Feng come to his senses and bow to Wu Dahai.
Wu Dahai gave him a seat, stroked a few goatees on his chin and said, "Yang Feng, since you enter my door, then I will teach you the secret method of cultivating the truth in Baiyun Palace." Before teaching you the secret method, you must first understand what cultivation is. Cultivating the truth refers to seeking the 'true self' in the process of learning the Tao, 'removing the false and preserving the truth', so it is called 'cultivating the truth'...... I would like to emphasize only the most important point, that is, 'to break desires'! What is 'desire'? That is, the desires that exist in the heart. Cultivation emphasizes the purity of the six roots, that is, to cut off the desires in the heart and devote oneself to the path...... The highest level of cultivation is to be reborn, ascend to the immortal realm, and be immortal!
After Wu Dahai talked endlessly for a long time, he raised the last sentence by an octave, and his sharp gaze looked directly into Yang Feng's eyes.
The first time he had a master, the first time he faced the master, and the first time he listened to the master's teachings, Yang Feng really couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried? In fact, although he pondered about what the master just said for a long time, he actually didn't understand a word, and it was impossible to understand it!
Zhou Taifu hurriedly pushed him and said in a low voice: "Quickly say that you understand, otherwise the master will be unhappy!"
Yang Feng said blankly: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, I didn't understand, how can I say I understand?"
"Today is the first time you have heard Master preach, so you must show enough sincerity. If you say you don't understand, it means that you are absent-minded and don't pay attention to Master's teachings!
"I really don't have to distract, but I really don't understand ......"
"Third brother, do you understand what the teacher just said?" Wu Dahai once again forced Yang Fengdao to look.
Yang Feng had no choice but to stand up, hang his hands, and said, "The master said too profoundly, and the disciple didn't understand a word......
"Well, it seems that you are quite honest, unlike the two of them, you don't know how to pretend to understand, you don't know how to know, and when you see a camel, you say that the horse's back is swollen!"
"Master, we didn't say that a camel is like a horse with a swollen back!" Xie Fangwu couldn't help but shout.
"I haven't said it now, and I won't say it in the future?" Wu Dahai snorted.
However, he didn't show too much annoyance and anger at his apprentice's protest, and it was no wonder that his two apprentices dared to say that he was not outside. Obviously, he is not the kind of master who is honest and hard-spoken.
"Well, third, as a teacher, I also know that you can't understand. But it doesn't matter, I just talked about a key point for the teacher, I don't know if you have noticed?" Wu Dahai looked at Yang Fengdao again.
Although Yang Feng was innocent, he was not stupid, and immediately replied: "The disciple seems to have heard the master mention the 'Broken Jade', but I don't know what is going on with this 'Broken Jade'?"
Wu Dahai showed a hint of a smile: "Okay! You can hear these two words clearly, which proves that 'children can be taught'!"
Wu Dahai spoke for a while, then announced that he would disband, continue teaching tomorrow, and then go to the inner hall with his hands on his back.
Yang Feng, Chow Tai Fook, and Xie Fangwu walked out, intending to settle down in the bedroom.
Chow Tai Fook patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and said, "Fengzi, you didn't behave badly, you finally didn't provoke the master to blow his beard and stare at him." ”
"What does Master mean by 'Broken Jade'?"
"It's not 'breaking jade', it's 'cutting off desire', cutting off the 'desire' in the heart. The so-called 'desire' means that when you see a beautiful girl, you should not be tempted, let alone think about it -- but you don't take what he says seriously, he just wants you to have no distractions and devote yourself to the path. Okay, let's take a look at our residence. The house we stayed in just now is called the front hall, which is the place where the master 'preaches and teaches and solves doubts', that is, the place where we listen to the old man's chatter. The open space in the middle is where we practice, the left side of the three houses are the kitchen, utility room and canteen, the right side of the three houses enshrine the tablets of the Sanqing Old Road, and the last side of the small door into the courtyard is where we live, I live in the east wing, Brother Xie lives in the west wing, you live in the side room. ”
Yang Feng nodded, and said with a straight face: "Brother Dafu, Brother Fang Wu, although we are children who grew up in a village, but now that we have entered the Daomen, we are brothers in the same sect, and I should call you senior brother and second senior brother in the future." ”
Chow Tai Fook and Xie Fangwu hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, don't be polite. But we have one more junior brother, which is also a blessing, haha. ”
When walking past the venue where Chow Tai Fook and them were practicing, Yang Feng's eyes fell on a wooden plank that was three feet long and five inches wide suspended by thick rattan between two huge stone pillars, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Do you swing after practicing?"
Zhou Taifu and Xie Fangwu laughed together: "This is not a swing, it is used to practice the sword." ”
"Edgeworth, doesn't you mean that Master, his old man doesn't know how to use edgecraft, is he still going to pass on your sword skills?" Yang Feng said strangely. When he was on the road just now, he had already heard that although Wu Dahai was profound, he didn't know how to resist the sword.
Xie Fangwu said: "Master, his old man really stinks in this matter, but he still hopes that in the future we can learn the art of sword control and win glory for his old man, so he made this prop, and usually let me and Senior Brother Dafu practice on it." ”
Zhou Taifu said with a smile: "This thing is just a plaything, how can it be of practical use? Besides, our senior brothers may have been riding horses on the ground all their lives, how can it be the day when the sword is captured?"
Yang Feng shook his head slightly and said, "You can't say that." As the saying goes: 'There is nothing difficult in the world, only those who are afraid of it'......"
Chow Tai Fook said: "The old man has not reached that state at all, that is to say, he has no goods in his stomach, what can he teach us? ”
"That can't be said either, maybe one day it will come in handy. Yang Feng said seriously.
"Fengzi, do you want to go up and give it a try?" Xie Fangwu said with a smile.
