Chapter 8: Haoran Righteousness
The old Taoist's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he slowly spoke: "What is 'Dao'?" Ling Hu Heng was stunned, he thought that the old Taoist priest would test his endorsement, but he didn't expect it to be this strange question. Ling Huheng hesitated for a while, and then remembered that he had mentioned it in "The Tao", so he memorized that paragraph: "The Tao is nothing, the latter is born yin and yang, and all things are born." Being independent and not changing, and doing things around without dying, this is the way. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”
After Ling Huheng recited it, he thought that the old Taoist priest would nod and praise, but he saw the old Taoist priest shake his head and said, "This is just an explanation in the book, not yours." When did you understand what the 'Dao' was, then you came to me, and I passed on your exercises. ”
Ling Hu Heng thought to himself: "This old Taoist priest did it on purpose, right? Obviously, I have memorized it! Who doesn't know that it is in the book, what is 'Dao', can you say it clearly? Pretend to be mysterious!" Ling Hu Heng only said that the old Taoist priest deliberately embarrassed him, and he was so competitive that he didn't say much, and turned around and left the old Taoist's room.
After leaving the room, Ling Huheng was depressed, but he didn't know how to vent. He walked into the depths of the bamboo forest in all his boredom, after all, he had not walked through this bamboo forest for so many days! However, there was really no other scenery in the bamboo forest, except for the verdant bamboo and the grassy meadow. However, Ling Hu Heng's eyes were good, and he saw an unusual light in the distance from a distance, which made Hu Heng curious and couldn't help but walk forward. The brighter the light, the more Ling Hu Heng could see it clearly, it turned out that there was a small waterhole in front of him, and several cranes were playing in the waterhole, and the movements were extremely beautiful. There are also a few budding water lilies in the waterhole, as well as a few lotus leaves floating on the water. Ling Huheng took a closer look, heh, there are a few small fish in the pool, and there is a clear spring flowing out slowly at the bottom of the pool, which is quite meaningful. Ling Huheng also noticed that the flat land not far from the waterhole was also reclaimed into a small vegetable garden, in which several vegetables were planted, and a melon shed was erected.
Ling Hu Heng said in his heart: "This eighty percent is made by a big man, how can the old Taoist priest do such a thing!" Ling Hu Heng didn't care so much, took off his shoes and socks, sat on the edge of the pool, soaked his feet in the water, and suddenly felt comfortable. The crane didn't seem to be afraid of people, but he was still playing on his own, and he didn't care about Ling Huheng. Ling Hu Heng looked at them with interest, and the troubles in his heart were also swept away.
Naturally, Ling Hu Heng also recalled the question of the old Taoist priest just now, "What is 'Dao'?", this is an eternal problem, even the Dao Ancestor "Sanqing" is not clear, let alone him? Ling Hu Heng no longer thinks about this problem, anyway, do whatever you want, do what you want!
It was rare to be idle, so that Hu Heng also fell asleep comfortably, looking up at the blue sky, suddenly a bird flashed, and the bamboo forest was quiet, but from time to time there was a faint sound of insects. This qiē seems to be natural, without a hint of far-fetchedness. Ling Huheng also completely let go of his heart, and after a while, he naturally integrated into this quiet environment.
I don't know how long it took, when Wu Zhen came over with a bucket to fetch water, he found Ling Huheng lying here, he was very surprised, and said, "Senior brother, why are you lying here?" Ling Huheng retreated from the realm of integrating into nature, stood up, smiled at Wu Zhen, and said, "Big man, you come to carry water for cooking?"
Wu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, but we all have to eat your footwash water tonight!" As he spoke, Wu Zhen's eyes never left Ling Huheng's wet feet.
Ling Huheng was stunned for a moment, and then the two looked at each other and laughed. Then, after Wu Zhen loaded the water, he put it on his shoulder, and returned to the bamboo house with Ling Huheng talking and laughing, but unexpectedly, the silent Taoist also came out of the house and asked the two, "Have you figured it out?" This sentence was obviously said to Ling Huheng.
When Wu Zhen saw that the master was here, he stopped laughing, and hurriedly carried the water into the kitchen and began to cook. Ling Hu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "I still don't understand, but I think that as long as you follow your own heart and let it be, you don't have to pay attention to what the Tao is." ”
Ling Hu Heng thought that the Silent Daoist would still embarrass him, but he didn't expect the Silent Daoist to actually nod and say, "Very good! ”
Ling Hu Heng was the second monk who was confused, and he didn't know what the silent Taoist was doing. followed the old Taoist priest into the room, the old Taoist priest took out a thick book, and said: "This is the door rule of this sect, you take it and take a look, otherwise you will make a mistake in the future, don't rely on me for not teaching you." ”
Ling Hu Heng took the book and found that there were hundreds of miscellaneous door rules in it, Ling Hu Heng was free and loose, he didn't like to be bound by rules and regulations, and he was only forced to stay in the green bamboo forest. Ling Huheng said: "Old Taoist, it's okay not to look at it, right?"
The old Taoist raised his eyebrows and said, "Whatever you want." Ling Huheng muttered in a low voice: "Let me, when the time comes, you won't punish me arbitrarily if I commit a crime?" I won't be fooled, just watch!"
With the cultivation of the old Taoist, how could he not hear Ling Hu Heng's muttering, but he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "I will pass on the exercises of the Ancient Sword Sect to you and me now, Haoran Righteous Qi Technique!" Ling Hu Heng was stunned, and quickly retracted his mind and listened attentively to the old Taoist's teaching.
The old Taoist priest said slowly: "Haoran righteousness is created by the ancestor in his heart, and the emphasis is on having a clear conscience, so that Haoran righteousness will last forever. And the most important thing about the mantra is the word 'positive', if the mind is not right, engage in some crooked ways, you will never be able to understand the subtlety of this mantra!" Ling Hu Heng listened a little disappreciatively, but he didn't say it, if the old Taoist priest was unhappy, it was not easy to get him to teach it, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water? Fortunately, the old Taoist priest did not find his abnormality, but continued: "Haoran Zhengqi has a total of 2918 sentences, which contain thousands of sentences, corresponding to Qi training, foundation building, knotting, Yuanying, golden body, turning gods, crossing the void, Mahayana and Ascension Nine Realms, each realm has two mantras, and each realm also has its own calamity, if you can survive the natural peace, if you can't get through, the meridians will be completely cut off, and you will become a wasted person; ”
When Ling Huheng heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and listened attentively to the words of the old Taoist. The old Taoist priest continued: "These nine tribulations are: love, hate, love, hatred, life, separation, death, farewell, and emptiness. ”
Ling Hu Heng was fascinated by what he heard, and the old Taoist priest also spoke seriously: "The tribulation is not reliable for other people's strength, and you can only survive it with your own strength." We cultivators are going against the sky, every step is a danger, only by doing every step in a down-to-earth way, can we ascend Sendai as soon as possible and become a great Luo Jinxian. Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest paused, glanced at Ling Huheng, who was listening seriously, and said solemnly: "Next, I will pass on to you this Haoran righteous qi formula, you listen to it!" ”
Regardless of whether Ling Huheng understood it or not, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep. Ling Hu Heng read on his mouth: "Qi Shen Dantian hugs Yuan Shou, Qi Youyi Haitong Nine Tricks, but what does it mean?" These days, he has also read those three Taoist classics, and he is not ignorant of cultivation, he silently recited it twice and then walked out of the room and went to his room.
Back in the room, Ling Huheng was still thinking about those two poems, but he couldn't understand them. Fortunately, Linghu Hengsheng is tenacious, and he also knows that cultivation cannot be achieved overnight, so he is not in a hurry. After reading the books these days, Ling Huheng naturally understands what "dantian" is, and it is easy to understand the dantian, but what "hug yuan shou" is, this is unknown. In addition, "Qi You Yihai" is also confused, Ling Hu Heng doesn't know what this "swimming" refers to, what is "Yihai", and the "Nine Tricks" in the back He has also seen it in the book and understands it. Linghu Heng thought hard for nearly an hour and still couldn't understand, so he turned his heart sideways and thought: "I don't understand what these two sentences are talking about, but I can't practice and try it!" So he learned the appearance of the old Taoist, sat cross-legged on the bed, and meditated to experience the "qi". But after all, there was no one to guide him, so Ling Hu Heng sat cross-legged for a long time, but instead of realizing any anger, his legs were a little sore. But the more this is the case, the more it arouses Ling Huheng's competitive spirit, and he also abandons a distracting thought, only self in his heart, his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart, and gradually, he began to enter the state where everything is quiet again. I don't know how long it took, Ling Hu Heng began to breathe naturally, and there seemed to be a faint heat rising under his stomach, although it was undetectable, Ling Hu Heng still felt it keenly, and he was not happy or sad, and let that qi grow freely.
When that qi grows to a certain extent, it begins to swim slowly, first from the dantian, through the chest, to the brain, and then down from the brain, through the spine, and back to the dantian. That's it, Ling Hu Heng completed his first Zhou Tian carrying! Just when Ling Hu Heng was still unfinished, he heard Wu Zhen's voice calling him, Ling Hu Heng opened his eyes and saw that it was already the early morning of the next day, and before he knew it, Ling Hu Heng had already cultivated for a night! Ling Hu Heng hadn't eaten last night, and his stomach was already hungry, but he had been cultivating before, and he didn't notice it.
Ling Hu Heng listened carefully, but it was Wu Zhen who told him to get up for breakfast, Ling Hu Heng had just found a way to cultivate, and he wanted to continue exploring, but his stomach protested. After Ling Huheng got up, he found that although he hadn't slept all night, he was still in good spirits and not tired. He secretly said in his heart: "It's not unreasonable for so many people to want to cultivate into immortals, this feels really good!"
