Chapter 30: The Mantra of Purifying the Heart
I went back to the cave, found a dry corner, and stacked the firewood in my hand neatly aside. With his free hands, he spread the handful of hay on the ground on the cold, hard stone bed. Seeing that he was a little comfortable, he sighed and threw himself on the bed. It's been a long time since I've experienced it, and when I used to be down the mountain, I used to wade on this haystack, but now I think about it, it's still a little warm.
Lying on the haystack and looking at the roof of the cave, I felt a little satisfied. I thought to myself how comfortable it would be to have a blanket to cover my body! But the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains were fortunate to be able to barely protect themselves with their own modest Taoism, but it was difficult to get their fur from the sky.
When I was idle, I suddenly remembered the secret book that my master passed on to me yesterday. He reached into his arms and fumbled, and two worn-out books slipped down. One is the music score "Yuyi Song", and the other is the "Pure Heart Mantra" given by the master. His eyes were fixed on the "Pure Heart Mantra", and he reached out to pick it up and dusted it off.
Most of the martial arts of the Tianshan Sect are based on qi trick swordsmanship, but this secret method is rare. First, because there are very few secret methods in the world, and secondly, because secret methods are a bit out of the way, and it is not easy to cultivate. Speaking of this "Pure Heart Mantra", I still haven't heard of it.
Cautiously turning the first page, a conspicuous name came into view. "Yu Xiaozhen": Isn't this the master of Xue Qing Zhenren? The previous Qi Sect leader, could it be that this "Pure Heart Mantra" was created by Yu Xiaozhen?
I saw that the yellowed paper read, "Cold for eternity, everything is especially quiet, the heart is quiet, I hope that I am alone, the heart and spirit are one, and the qi should follow each other, and I want to see Ruoyu, and I will not be surprised." Then he wrote, "Meditation is like water, and clear water is the heart." The breeze is silent, and the waves are not alarmed. Sitting alone, the harp whistled and sounded. Zen silence is settled, and the poisonous dragon hides. The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the water is flowing through the clouds. Fresh and cure, straight to make a living. To the best of nature, the road is a natural ......"
This "Pure Heart Mantra" is not thick, just a few thin pages. After reading through the mantra a few times, Lu Yu was surprised to find that this "Pure Heart Mantra" was similar to Master's "Snow Moon Divine Skill". The same is the same, and when urging, it requires deep internal force and pure heaven and earth aura, and the principle is also somewhat similar.
But this "Pure Heart Mantra" is different from "Snow Moon Divine Skill", if the latter is to attack the enemy's body, then the former is to control the minds of others, so that they cannot move, and can even probe the hearts of others.
It's not so much the secret book of this Dao method, but more like this qigong method to myself. Now I can understand why Master said that this "Pure Heart Mantra" is the most suitable for his cultivation at the moment. I wanted to come to Master firstly to let go of the distracting thoughts in my heart, and secondly, to allow me to control the Xueyue True Qi in my body more freely. Although there was a slight deviation from expectations, I was very satisfied. And every time I read the mantra, I can feel that all thoughts are empty in my heart, and my heart is dead. In the past ten years, my sister has also secretly taught herself how to urge the deep internal force in her body, but she can't resonate. However, the mantra of this "Pure Heart Mantra" is somehow related to the blue cyclone at the dantian, and every time the mantra is recited, the true qi in the body will surge around. In the past, he had a strong internal force but would not urge it, but now it seems that as long as he cultivates this "Pure Heart Mantra" diligently, he can urge it freely.
After sitting on the stone bed with his eyes closed for a while, he may have too many distracting thoughts in his heart, and he was always unable to calm down. I had no choice but to walk to the boulder outside the cave entrance, sit cross-legged, face the three peaks in the distance, and close my eyes slightly. The cold autumn wind kept blowing, and Lu Yu was shivering from the cold, and he didn't have any thoughts in his mind. Gradually, he calmed down his mind, and kept chanting silently in his mouth: "Cold for eternity, everything is especially quiet, the heart should be quiet, look at me alone." The heart is as pure as water, the clear water is the heart, the breeze lifts up, and the waves are not alarmed......"
The sky was slowly getting darker, and the cold wind of this autumn night was even more biting. There was only the sound of the autumn wind in my ears, and I don't know how long I sat cross-legged, my limbs were already frozen and unconscious, and only my body still had some temperature. Lu Yu was surrounded by a faint blue light, and gradually fell into a steady state, silently reciting the mantra, without distracting thoughts in his heart, and even forgetting the cold.
This is several hours, the moon in the sky tonight is unusually round, no wonder the folk are saying that the moon is 15 and 14 round, I want to talk about this moment! Looking at the three peaks in the distance, all of them are brightly lit, and the sky is full of Kong Ming lanterns. Although the Tianshan Sect is far away from the world and does not care about the world, the disciples in the sect are all flesh and blood, and they all have their own parents. And this Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day for family reunion, regardless of whether the parents are alive or not, but the love is forever buried deep in the heart. Not to mention those whose parents are still alive in the world, but now they have left their hometowns and traveled thousands of miles to this Tianshan Mountain to learn spells, and they have been learning for several years, and their longing for their family is even deeper. I think that tonight's Qixia Peak should also be very lively!
The fireworks on Qixia Peak are bright, and the voices of people are boiling. The disciples also put down what they were doing, and came to the cliff in groups to watch the moonlight. Standing on the cliff and looking at the night sky, the moon is close at hand, and everything on the mountain is illuminated by the moonlight. There were a few disciples lying under a towering tree not far away, and it seemed that they should have been exhausted from their hard work in cultivation during the day, so they actually lay down under the tree and fell asleep.
In a courtyard, there is a sound of frolicking from time to time. Yun Yao, who was in a coma, frowned, it seemed that she should have been woken up by the sound outside the house. Rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was lying in his room, and shook his head to sober himself up a little. I wanted to get out of bed, but as soon as my feet touched the canvas shoes, I stumbled and fell to the ground, and when I just wanted to get up, I found that my limbs couldn't be strengthened. The sound came out, Mei Qian'er outside the house heard the movement, hurriedly pushed the door in, saw the junior sister falling to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
Yun Yao saw that it was Senior Sister Mei who came, grabbed her sleeve and hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Mei, where is Senior Brother Lu?"
Mei Qian'er checked the pulse, and when she saw that the true qi in her body was running smoothly, she was relieved. replied: "Senior sister, don't panic, Senior Brother Lu, he is fine, but you went down the mountain privately this time and were caught by the master, and he helped you shoulder the responsibility. ”
Yun Yao's face turned even paler after hearing this, she knew what the blame was for going down the mountain privately, but she didn't expect that Senior Brother would bear it alone. Besides, it was his own selfish desire to go down the mountain secretly, but he let his senior brother be punished, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and his eyes were a little red when he thought about it.
Mei Qian'er helped her to the bed and asked: "You are a seven-spice soft muscle, and your limbs can't exert your strength in seven days, so you can rest in peace for a few days!"
Yun Yao didn't have any intention to cultivate here, and just wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by her senior sister. He said anxiously, "Senior sister, what about Master? This matter is my fault, and it has nothing to do with Senior Brother." ”
Mei Qian'er shook her head and replied, "You should know that what Master has decided will not change at will. Besides, since yesterday's farewell in the Cangyun Palace, Master has not returned to Qixia Peak!" After speaking, he looked into the distance and didn't pay attention to it anymore.
I don't know how long it took, the moonlight sank, and when the disciples all fell asleep, a corner of Cangyun Peak was on the boulder outside the mouth of the valley. Lu Yu was still sitting there motionless, but at this time, he was sweating like rain, panting, and his face became a little embarrassed. For some reason, whenever he wanted to stimulate as much true qi as possible in his body, he always felt that his heart was about to explode, and it was painful. I felt that there was some kind of power in the depths of the dantian that was sealed, and every time the blue air flow around it became a little less, the other force in it wanted to break out of the seal. These two forces in the depths of the dantian collided with each other, and every time they clashed, Lu Yu felt that his liver and intestines were broken, and he felt that his whole body was about to explode.
In a corner of the top of Cangyun Peak, when the moonlight dispersed, a figure appeared, and it was Xue Qing's real person. Her eyes were fixed on the enchantment, as if she was spying on something, and her mind remembered a year ago today.
It was already late that day and night, and outside the grassy hut, an enchantment shrouded up. There was a figure in the enchantment, black and steaming, surrounded by a cloud of purple-black flames, his eyes were full of killing intent, and his mouth was roaring angrily from time to time. The hateful face stared at the two people outside the enchantment, this person was Lu Yu, but at the moment he was delirious, as if he was being controlled. Drops of blood were left on Bai Caosheng's left arm, and the sleeve of his shirt was also scratched, revealing a long blood mark, apparently injured. Dragging his injured left arm, he reluctantly said, "Could it be that the demon pill in his body hasn't been suppressed yet?"
Ji Xueqing's face was also a little embarrassed, and she only felt a sweetness in her throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said: "The Qingqiu Demon Fox is originally the ninth rank of the demon, and the bloodline is pure for thousands of years. How could Fluttershy's thousand-year-old fox demon pill be suppressed by my Snow Moon True Qi so easily!"
Bai Caosheng nodded thoughtfully, looked at the mellow moon in the sky and said, "Could it be the moon tonight!" The moon is already full of feminine power, and it has a sense of the demon fox Neidan in her body, so it will explode when the moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"Uncle Shi, let's do it!"
The two looked at each other, nodded their heads, and Bai Caosheng took out an emerald green bamboo flute from his sleeve. And Ji Xueqing sat down cross-legged, and said silently: "It's cold for thousands of years, everything is especially quiet, the heart is quiet, look at me alone." The heart is as pure as water, the clear water is the heart, the breeze lifts up, and the waves are not alarmed......"
Ji Xueqing on the cliff stared closely at the enchantment, with a faint uneasiness in her heart, and said to herself: "I hope this heart purification spell can help you get through tonight!"
The night was quiet, but the wind on the cliff was blowing more and more rapidly......
