Chapter 36 There is no Laojun on the mountain
Xie Mingzhou saw that Juan was polite and polite at the end of the day, and it seemed that he could endure hardships, so he moved his heart to accept the apprentice.
He said to Juan: "I'll teach you the method of breathing and breathing first, see if you can learn it, and if your qualifications are okay, I will accept you as an apprentice." In the future, you will have to walk on your own road, and if you complain on the way, then I and your family will also end up here. ”
"Yes, sir, I won't complain, and I will practice the breathing and breathing method you taught me. ”
"Now go and rest, and I will call you when the time comes." Xie Mingzhou asked Juan to go to bed, meditated beside him, and did not do anything, but just maintained a state of emptiness, thoughtless, and silent.
At the moment before the child, Xie Mingzhou woke up naturally, his mind now seemed to be a machine, if he wrote down when he woke up in his heart, then he would naturally wake up when the time came, whether this was an instinct or an effect caused by cultivation to the innate level, he couldn't tell.
Xie Mingzhou woke up Juan, and when he came to his senses, he told him to wash his face and wash his hands, stripped off his clothes and pants, and put his Taoist robe on him to facilitate the circulation of qi and blood, and taught him how to cross his legs and how to meditate.
After everything was ready, he said to Juan: "Since the ancient way, it is not lightly transmitted, and in the future, it will come out of my mouth and into your ears, and you will not be allowed to tell others without my permission." ”
Juan respectfully agreed, and then he said: "Today, I will first teach you the "Taishang Says Changqing Jingjing", and when you can calm down, you can learn the method of breathing and breathing." Listen well, and remember the song. Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is ...... Strong name said. The Husband: There is a clear and turbid ......"
After reciting the scriptures, Juan was breathing for a long time, as if he was asleep, Xie Mingzhou didn't care about him, just waited on the side, until Juan woke up himself, he asked, "How much do you remember?"
Juan replied ashamedly: "Sir, I only remember the first paragraph, and I don't remember the last three paragraphs." ”
Xie Mingzhou was surprised, the full text of "Taishang Laojun Says Changqing Jingjing" is more than 400 words, and the first paragraph accounts for almost half of it, this kid only listened to it once, and he was able to write down the first paragraph, and indeed this understanding and qualification are good, he said softly: "You recite it once, come and I'll listen." ”
Juan recited it again, and sure enough, there was no mistake, Xie Mingzhou recited the following scriptures twice, until he memorized them all, and then said to him: "You meditate in this room today, recite this Jingjing Sutra repeatedly, and if your hands and feet are numb, call me." ”
After more than an hour, Hu Anfang felt numb in his hands and feet, which woke up Mr. Xie Mingzhou got up to help him pinch and massage to dredge his blood. If you don't dredge the meridians in time, you are likely to waste your legs and cause disability.
All the way through Xichuan, Xixia, the front to Funiu Mountain, during this period of time, Xie Mingzhou master and apprentice did not use magic, accompanied Juan to walk slowly, and taught him the art of observing the air and breathing.
I don't think this Juan is really a natural cultivator, and his understanding is better than that Yizhen, Xie Mingzhou has already decided that when he arrives in Luoyang, he will prepare all the things, perform the apprenticeship ceremony, and accept this Juan as a disciple.
On this day, when I arrived at the foot of Funiu Mountain, I saw a mountain towering into the clouds, the peak was covered with clouds and mist, and there was a Taoist temple.
Halfway up the mountain, I feel that this mountain is high, and those Taoist temples are built on the top of the highest peaks, which is like Qionglou Yuyu, which makes people feel more to the heart of the Tao. Xie Mingzhou went to the top of the mountain, but he saw a Taoist temple, and he didn't know when it was built, simple and elegant, and the three golden characters on the door were "Laojun Temple".
At this time, a Taoist from Guanzhong came out to salute and asked, "Dare to ask where Dao Friend is Baoguan Qingxiu, what is the matter with coming to Guanguan today?"
Xie Mingzhou also returned the salute: "Poor Dao is a disciple of Sichuan Qinzhenguan, and because of the name of Mu Baoguan, he came to pay homage to the immortals. Don't dare to bother Taoist friends, I can play at will. The Taoist man bowed again and left, and Xie Mingzhou was not annoyed by him, and entered the Taoist temple by himself.
When I came into the view, I found that this temple turned out to be iron rafters and iron tiles, and the worship was naturally the Taishang Laojun sage Lao Tzu, Xie Mingzhou burned three pillars of incense, gave sesame oil money, and then went to other places to enjoy.
There are more than 10 temples on this Laojun Mountain, such as Taiqing Palace, Shifang Courtyard, Sanqing Temple, Ling Palace, etc., Xie Mingzhou does not go all over one by one, only to the top of the mountain to overlook the panorama, Yizhen took Juan, every view must enter, burn incense and worship ancestors, it seems very pious.
Xie Mingzhou went to the top of the peak, looked around, but found that there was a higher peak in the north, so he went to the north peak, the north peak is steeper and more dangerous, there is no road feasible, but a hut was built, and no one lived to guard it, this hut has nothing else except a futon, but it is clean, and it seems that people often come to clean it.
Out of the house not a few steps is the cliff, turn to the back of the house but see a rock, the rock is not very high, can not be seen under the peak, Xie Mingzhou jumped up to see, three sides of the cliff, only one facing the house, make people frightened. There is a trace in the middle, which seems to be left by a person meditating cross-legged, and he sits on it and tries it, but it is just right and very comfortable.
Xie Mingzhou sat on it, looked down, and saw the clouds and mist fluttering, and the sea of clouds was vast. He has been to many mountains, but he has never seen such a magnificent scenery!
The mountains loom in the clouds and mist, like a boat on the crest of the big waves, the milky white cloud and mist waves surge, as if taking this earth as a pot, steaming out, stretching out, until it is connected with the sky as a color, making people flutter like immortals, no wonder the ancient and modern cultivators want to find the famous mountains and rivers, and live in seclusion!
It is really a wonderful scenery given by God, which allows people to forget all the troubles and sorrows in their hearts, and wholeheartedly seek the ethereal fairy road!
Xie Mingzhou's mood was unusually calm at the moment, he seemed to smell a trace of "Dao", but it was fluttering, making people unable to grasp the mystery, he naturally closed his eyes, his heartbeat and breathing gradually stopped, and he entered a fetal breathing state.
In a trance, it seemed that the heavens and the earth had fallen silent, only the golden pill in the mud pill emitted a shining golden light, slowly rotating in a peculiar rhythm, absorbing a trace of inexplicable "qi" between heaven and earth.
But Xie Mingzhou, who had entered the womb of all this, didn't know that he was now just a mountain rock, a floating cloud, thoughtless, senseless, and selfless!
I don't know how long it took, he woke up from the fetal breath and let out a long exhale, but saw that the Qi was like a sharp sword, cutting through the sea of clouds and shooting straight ahead.
