Chapter 9: Wandering
Yang Feng's surprise was not trivial, and he looked at it carefully, and sure enough, the pendant was missing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The pendant was obviously hanging around the neck, how could it be gone? Also, the inexplicable burning, the pain in the heart, what was going on?
Wu Dahai also felt in a trance that something was missing from Yang Feng's body. When Yang Feng came to apprentice yesterday, he also saw the pendant hanging around Yang Feng's neck. At the time, he didn't think about it, because it was so ordinary that it didn't bother at all.
At that moment, Wu Dahai didn't think about it elsewhere, but said coldly: "Don't look for it, that broken bead must have rolled into a corner when you fell off the bed!"
Yang Feng looked at the bottom of the bed full of dust and debris, and thought to himself that if it fell off, it would be gone, after all, it was not a valuable thing, and there was no need to go under the dirty bed to find it.
Still, he was puzzled by what had happened tonight. He couldn't understand why the pendant had changed like that.
The smell just now was indeed like the feeling of a red-hot soldering iron burning on your body. Yang Feng understands that if the temperature of the beads changes, there must be external factors, such as fire roasting, which will increase the temperature of the beads. But where does the fire come from?
Forget it, I still don't want to.
At that moment, Yang Feng only vaguely said that he fell out of bed because his head was suddenly dizzy, but he didn't say anything about the changes in the pendant. He took it for granted that it was not necessary. At the same time, I feel that if I say it, Master may not believe it.
"It seems that Master has embarrassed you. Wu Dahai laughed at himself.
"Master, I'm ......" As soon as he saw Master's expression, Yang Feng knew that he was angry, and he suddenly became panicked, and opened his mouth several times, wanting to tell the truth.
But the master didn't ask any more questions, just told him to have a good rest, and told the dumb uncle to cook him something delicious. Uncle Dumb is a handyman in the temple, serving meals to their masters and apprentices, and cleaning the courtyard at the same time. Although he is old and thin, he is very shrewd in his work, and his only pain is that he can't speak.
I saw the dumb uncle nodded, which meant to reassure Wu Dahai.
Wu Dahai went out with his hands on his back.
Soon Uncle Dumb, Zhou and Xie also left, and only Yang Feng, who was still stunned, was left in the house.
After worrying for half the night, he finally couldn't stay up from the deep sleep, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, a hoarse man's voice came into his ears: "Jue'er, have you ever been satisfied with our new home?"
Another soft female voice said, "What's not to like? It's just that this lodging still doesn't look very stable......
"That's right, the owner of our lodging is still a beginner, and his foundation is not yet slight, so how can he talk about stability? I can only hope that this boy will soon be able to stabilize his foundation......" replied in a hoarse man's voice.
Yang Feng only felt that the voice of the conversation between men and women seemed to be in his ears, deafening and noisy, he couldn't hear it really for a while, but it was very clear for a while, and Yang Feng felt a little hairy in his heart.
He mustered all his strength, let out a shout, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up with his body......
However, there was no figure except for a dark silence in front of him.
Yang Feng beat his head and said secretly: "It's just a nightmare, what's there to be suspicious of?"
Thankfully, the long night had finally passed, and nothing had happened.
The next morning, Wu Dahai arranged the homework of Chow Tai Fook and Xie Fangwu, called Yang Feng to the meditation room, and after a few words, he began to teach.
I only heard Wu Dahai say: "I will first teach you the way to get started - Taoist cultivation, in the final analysis, it is necessary to cultivate the inner essence, qi, and god three treasures. Therefore, the external posture is not important, just to be able to achieve a straight head, comfortable and natural. The first thing you need to do is meditation, whether it's sitting, standing, lying down, or walking. The main points of various postures are as follows: sitting position, you can sit flat on the stool, or you can sit cross-legged on the bed, fold your hands, hold your thumbs together into the shape of a Taiji diagram, and place it on the dantian. Standing, standing naturally, with your knees slightly bent, your hands stacked on your dantian, or hanging down to your sides. Lying on the side, one hand bends the humeral pillow, the thumb and index finger are separated, the ears are placed at the tiger's mouth, so that the ear is opened, the other hand is placed on the crotch, or placed on the dantian, and the legs are also in a posture of stretching and bending, which is just opposite to the two hands...... Once you have chosen a posture and done it well, you can start practicing......"
Near noon, Wu Dahai finally finished the lecture and let Yang Feng experience and practice by himself. Yang Feng returned to his meditation room and began his cultivation path.
He chose the seated cultivation method. He first sat cross-legged on the couch, folded his hands, hugged his thumbs together in the shape of a taijitu, placed them on his lower abdomen (he took it for granted that it was the "dantian"), and then began to practice.
He followed the steps that Master told him to do one by one: the whole body relaxed, the eyes were lowered, the tongue was on top of the palate, the nose was natural, the hands were holding the formula, and the two qi were accepted......
According to Master Wu Dahai, after doing this for a while, if he can feel that his hands are hot and swollen, and there seems to be an invisible pulse running throughout his body, and his whole body feels extremely comfortable, then it is "getting started", that is, finding the right feeling.
However, he practiced like this for more than half a month, but he couldn't even find a feeling.
If you can't find the feeling, you won't be able to continue the cultivation at all. For a moment he fell into a deep distress, and from time to time he asked himself: "Am I really a big fool? I really don't have the talent for cultivation? Instead of sitting here stupidly every day, it is better to go home and hoe my land." ā
Yang Feng told Wu Dahai, Chow Tai Fook, and Xie Fangwu his thoughts, but he was unanimously reprimanded by the three of them, saying that how can they be so persistent in doing things? Now they can't find a feeling, they can find it slowly, you must know that some people can't find a feeling in their lifetime, he has only been practicing for half a month, how can he be so discouraged?
Yang Feng had no choice but to continue to look for feelings every day......
After a few days like this, Wu Dahai asked Yang Feng to go to the back mountain to chop a load of firewood and come back. Yang Feng walked to the back mountain with a firewood knife and a qiandan. He quickly chopped firewood and climbed to a rock on the top of the hill to look out at the scenery in the distance.
This is the highest point of Redwood Ridge, and the fields and villages at the foot of the mountain are as small as building blocks, and the Sanqing Temple is as small as a miniature version of the land temple.
At this time, the pine waves on the top of the mountain are whistling, and the cool breeze is seated, which makes people feel refreshed. The blue sky overhead and the snow-like white clouds make people feel more calm and relax their meridians. Yang Feng's gloomy mood also suddenly became brighter, and he thought, if it is still early today, why not practice for a while on the boulder on the top of this mountain to find a feeling?
At that moment he sat down on the boulder and began to practice again......
