Chapter Eighty-Six: The Layman
Their lives have relatively returned to their previous routines. It's a pity that the books on the first and second floors of the library are of little use to him. There are too many secular kung fu, practice one or two, it's fine, the rest, take a look, understand, just do, when you reach the realm, you will naturally understand the tricks, I haven't heard of it, which martial arts master, is proficient in all kung fu.
He now desperately hopes to be able to go up to the third floor to read, and he has no choice but to say that maybe he really plans to become a monk. After reciting the Jingjing Sutra in the Yellow Court in the morning, he was about to leave, when the head of Xinyun Dao said to him: "Pony, you stay for a while." ”
Ma Guocai stopped and wondered, "Master, is there something wrong?"
Daoist Xinyun asked, "Last time I discussed the matter of ordination with you, how did you think about it?"
It turned out that this was the case, and Ma Guocai said: "I don't have any opinion, but my parents at home are afraid that they won't agree! ”
Daoist Xinyun nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then become a layman of my faction first! ”
"Thank you, master. Ma Guocai naturally understood what lay meant, lay people are Taoist disciples who practice at home, this does not need the consent of the family, it can be regarded as a roundabout way.
Seeing that he agreed, the head of Xinyun Dao nodded, and then continued: "Presumably, you have been in my sect for so long, and you have already understood, and I won't tell you much about the rest, mainly to tell you about the cultivation of our faction, our faction belongs to the southern faction, and it pays attention to the dual cultivation of yin and yang, of course, it is not the kind of lower-level dual cultivation method." Rather, it is the breath of heaven and earth. to replenish my qi. Collect the essence of heaven and earth to supplement my essence, pick the god of heaven and earth, and supplement the upper double cultivation method of my god, pay attention to men do not have wide clothes, and women do not untie their belts. The second step is to turn one into ten thousand, and the third step is to unify all of them. One is nothingness. You'll find out about that in the future. ”
Finally hearing Danfa's message, Ma Guocai's heart was extremely excited, didn't he come here just for Dandao!
"Excuse me, master, when will I be able to practice these?" Ma Guocai asked.
"At noon today, I will teach you after I invite my fellow uncle to witness your refuge. Xinyun said long.
"That's great!" Ma Guo received a clear answer, and his heart became more and more antique.
finally boiled and boiled, and it was not until noon that Ma Guo was witnessed by several fellow uncles. He converted to Taoism and became a layman. This time it's different from the last time. The last time I started, I could only be regarded as a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, which was relatively ordinary, and as a layman of the Qingcheng faction, it was equivalent to a Taoist priest who practiced at home, and he could be regarded as a real Taoist disciple.
Not only to burn incense and make offerings, but also to recite scriptures and tell the ancestors, the three refuges and five precepts, and so on. This must be witnessed by the elders in the sect, and it is not as casual as accepting a disciple. and officially gave him a Taoist name, Ma Qingfeng. It's a very ordinary Taoist name, and you can call out Qingfeng Daoyou in the future.
Here are some other things to learn about this subject. After all, it was not the first time he had come to Qingcheng Mountain, so many things were not explained in too much detail, and he simply went through the motions.
Ma Guo just finished the incense, and the whole process is completed.
Out of the main hall, Du Feng came over and congratulated: "Congratulations on entering the Dao Gate." ”
"Hehe, aren't they all the same!" Ma Guocai said.
Du Feng complained: "How can it be the same, you can move to live behind the mountain now, the scenery is good, and the people who live there are all uncles and elders from the Daomen, and there are more opportunities to ask for advice." ”
Ma Guocai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you are also a layman!" He also just found out, because their faction belongs to the Qing Cultivation School, and they have entered the Dao Gate, and in order to better cultivate, they can move to the back mountain farther away from here, because it is relatively quiet there, and there are few people to disturb it, which is very suitable for cultivation.
Du Feng said helplessly: "Do you think it is so easy to become a layman of our sect, you need to be a disciple for at least five years, or contribute to the sect, and it depends on the qualifications. ”
"Ah, there are still these conditions!" Ma Guocai heard of it for the first time. I thought to myself, could it be that I can get started, could it be because I make money? This is also a contribution! If Daoist Xinyun knew what he thought, would he slap him to death? He values his money, mainly his potential.
Du Feng explained: "Yes, let me tell you this, like the students we sent, what they teach are some basic kung fu, there are no stunts or anything, disciples, what is taught is the kung fu of Taoism, and the stunts of our school." And when you enter the Dao Gate, you will teach a higher level of Qigong Mind Method, the Dan Dao Method. These are all things that need a good heart to learn, not that you can learn if you are taught, but there will be no benefit and disadvantage if you learn. ”
"How do you know so much?" said Ma Guocai.
Du Feng smiled and said, "My father is the head of the spiritual path, these are all from him!"
"It turns out that you are still the second generation of Dao!" Ma Guo couldn't help but say.
Du Feng despised him for a moment and said, "It's a hairy one!"
Ma Guocai was puzzled: "It stands to reason that you were born here, it is easy to become a monk and a Taoist priest, at least it is no problem to be a layman! Why are you still a disciple?"
Du Feng sighed and said: "It's not that my mother disagrees, saying that cultivation is quiet and inactive, and if your father hides in the mountains all day long, refining and refining qi, it will be difficult to have children in the future." When I was a child, I was forbidden to learn martial arts, saying that I was afraid that I would fight every day!"
Ma Guocai laughed and said, "Then you hurry up and find a partner!"
Du Feng pulled him and said, "Brother, you see that the relationship between the two of us is so good, the two girls who saw you last time, you can introduce one to me!"
Ma Guocai patted him on the shoulder and said pityingly: "It's not that I don't introduce it to you, but everyone else has a partner!"
"Really?" Du Feng confirmed in disbelief.
"What are you lying to, it's all my wife. Ma Guocai suddenly said coaxingly.
Du Feng said with disdain: "Cut, if you don't want to introduce, you won't introduce, who are you fooling!"
Hey, no one believes the truth yet! Ma Guocai spread his hands and was depressed.
"I'm too lazy to tell you, the guy who is heavy on color and light on friends, next time he has a chance, it seems that he has to practice with you. Du Feng threatened.
"Hey!" Ma Guocai said helplessly.
When he returned to his residence, he began to clean up his things and put all his clothes in a box. When I finished cleaning up, I realized that there were really a lot of things. When I left the hut where I had lived for almost half a year, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional and reluctant. I don't know anything when I first came, and I'm a complete layman. The eight veins of the Qi Jing have not been passed, and if you look at it now, you have reached the innate realm, and no one believes it when you say it. It seems that there is a teacher, and when it comes to cultivation, it is indeed much better than groping for himself, and he is very happy about the original choice.
If you still practice like that at home, I am afraid that it will take a few years to fully understand the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and it will be good to be old enough to be born. This is also thanks to the Xuanmen Tai Chi health exercises, which have played a great role in promoting the practice. In addition, the reading of the classics in the sect on weekdays has given him a very clear understanding of cultivation, and he can practice with peace of mind without worrying about making mistakes.
