When Chen Tianhong came to his senses, he was already lying under a piece of golden jade. The master of the sky lantern sat aside, clasped his hands together, and recited the "six-character mantra". He saw Chen Tianhong wake up, no longer chanting, and his face was serious and serious.

"Little donor, the poison of the 'Heavenly Dragon Fruit' in your body, only this jade wall left by my Buddha Patriarch can help you suppress the poison. If you want to completely remove the poison of the 'Heavenly Dragon Fruit', you must cultivate the 'Dragon Descending Technique' passed down by the ancestor, and slowly dissolve it with the help of the aura of heaven and earth. ”

"How much does that cost?"

Chen Tianhong has a vague impression of last night's events. Hearing that the monk asked him to practice what "dragon descending technique", he remembered what other people talked about when he was in the study, saying that it was to cultivate a certain technique and supernatural powers, and how much gold and silver were needed to sell. So, he asked very naturally.

"Buddha Yun: 'Save a life, win a seventh-level floating slaughter'. What's more, although the donor ate the dragon fruit by mistake, it is very related to the miracle of the ancestor in the past to remove the dragon fruit. Therefore, the old monk is just doing good deeds on behalf of the patriarch, not to mention money. ”

Master Tianlan has been practicing in the temple since he was a child, and he has never had a good impression of the way of money. What he said was one of his teacher's legacy.

"Master, then, can the 'Dragon Descending Technique' really descend the dragon?"

"No, I can't. The dragon descending technique is only a cultivation method for self-cultivation and qi cultivation, not a supernatural method for cultivating the Tao. ”

Chen Tianhong didn't understand anyway, thought for a while, and said, "Master, please teach me, okay?" thought to himself: The matter of Tianlong Fruit that the old monk said does not seem to be fake. The old monk is sincere in teaching himself, and he might as well ask for advice and learn seriously.

The Sky Lantern Master nodded, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it. Eighteen portraits of people are painted on the scroll, marked with meridians and acupuncture points of the human body, and eight sentences written next to each painting.

Chen Tianhong thought of the portraits he saw on the animal skin scrolls, and found that they were completely different from those on these eighteen paintings. The so-called difference is not the different position of the acupuncture points, but the different directions of the marked meridians. The direction of the skin scroll is to expand outward, and the portrait on the scroll of the Master of the Sky Lantern is to shrink inward. One inside and one outside, completely polar.

Seeing that Chen Tianhong was looking so carefully and seriously, Tianlan's face was slightly happy, and he said: "Cultivating immortals to seek immortality is nothing more than fighting for life with the sky. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to make up for your shortcomings diligently. ”

Subsequently, starting from the first portrait, Tianlan explained word by word, and by the way, the basic knowledge of the cultivation world was taught one by one. It's a pity that Chen Tianhong doesn't even have the most basic knowledge of acupuncture points. This is a bitter pain for the master of the sky lantern. Fortunately, the master of the sky lantern is tireless, starting from scratch and teaching bit by bit.

Chen Tianhong is really stupid, his qualifications are a little worse, but fortunately, he is very serious. A portrait has been taught more than a dozen times, and it can still be completely memorized. It is because of his rote memorization that, once remembered, he did not worry about forgetting it quickly. After each painting is taught, Tian Lantern will deliberately tell him how to learn from the past and cultivate day and night.

Towards noon, the Master of the Sky Lantern finally finished teaching eighteen portraits. In order to allow Chen Tianhong to grasp and cultivate more fully, he left the scroll temporarily. In fact, if you are a gifted and intelligent person, for the most common cultivation method of nourishing qi and nourishing qi, you only need to look at the picture and self-realize, and you can learn by yourself, which requires several hours of explanation and teaching. With Chen Tianhong's qualifications and understanding, there is really no way.

Tian Lantern said: "Little donor, every day at the fourth hour of the meridian and the fourth hour, you will follow the dragon descending method and cultivate under this jade wall. You can't leave the jade wall until you completely purify the power of the dragon fruit in your body. ”

"Oh, thank you Master for teaching me!" Chen Tianhong gradually felt the strangeness of his body, and secretly congratulated himself that the monk had saved his life, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "Master, what do the six words you have been reciting, what do they mean, and what is the use?"

"That's the 'six-character mantra' passed down by the ancestors. It contains all the wisdom of all things in heaven and earth. Since the patriarch, no one has been able to penetrate one in ten thousand. The old monk obeyed the patriarch's orders, day and night, hoping that one day, he could understand a little bit of the mysteries of heaven and earth. ”

"Then can I practice?"

"Buddha Yun: 'Thou shalt arsenic' frost, my nectar. That is to say, what is right for me may not be right for you. Little benefactor, your talent is dull, and your cultivation qualifications are almost zero, even if you get the six-character Great Ming Mantra, it doesn't make any sense. At the moment, there is only one thing you have to do: concentrate. The Master of the Sky Lantern said, got up and walked out of the small door.

Chen Tianhong did not say anything. Because he felt that his cultivation qualifications were really zero. If it weren't for a kind-hearted monk who didn't dislike it and taught it carefully, it would be impossible for him to start cultivating even if it was an ordinary cultivation method for self-cultivation and qi refining, "Dragon Descending Technique". I am very grateful to the Sky Lantern Monk.

As the afternoon air grew, Chen Tianhong suddenly felt a strange sensation in his ears, nose and throat. When I looked sideways, I saw a mirror-like golden jade wall, emitting a universal golden light. In this golden light, the restlessness in his body was forcibly suppressed, and he couldn't move.

Chen Tianhong was sure that Sky Lantern did not lie to himself. Therefore, meditate cross-legged, concentrate your mind, sense the aura of heaven and earth, silently recite the dragon descending recipe in your heart, and try to operate the aura in the meridians according to the guidance of the master of the sky lantern. However, after almost half an hour, I couldn't feel anything, so I couldn't talk about operation.

Xindao: The master said very clearly, people are a part of all the spirits of heaven and earth, and they are naturally connected with all the spirits of heaven and earth. If the Lingtai is clear and clear, the root bone essence is strange, and it can sense the aura of heaven and earth, the power of the sun, moon and stars, exhale and refine, and melt into one's own body. But why can't I feel anything? Am I really a "dead man's body"?

"The body of a dead man" is still said by the black head in the bones. Chen Tianhong still remembers it vividly. Then I think of what the Sky Lantern Master said, "Qualifications are almost zero". On the contrary, I was relieved. I thought: Anyway, I'm stupid and unqualified, and I can't be in a hurry, so why bother myself.

Therefore, the body and mind gradually relaxed, and they no longer cultivated. A person was stunned for an hour, and he kept thinking about what the sky lantern said about the six-character mantra. Because Chen Tianhong remembers clearly, he should have a jade slip called "Wenqu Xingjue". I vaguely remember that this "trick" can turn decay into magic and turn stones into gold. Doesn't it just suit you?

Then, take out the jade slip and look at it carefully. After reading it a few times, I didn't know a third of the words. This is a very big improvement for him, but it is not enough. I made up my mind that the next time the master came in, let him bring in the dictionary of the sages, and the problem would be solved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Sky Lantern Master walked in with the desk. There is paper and ink on the desk, there are books left by Li Si, and more than ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and a number of white papers. For a while, the small space takes up more than half. The master of the sky lantern didn't say a word, put down everything, and left.

Chen Tianhong waited for a while, quickly consulted the dictionary, and learned all the words he didn't know on the jade slip. Recite it repeatedly until it is familiar with the chest, and the recitation is like a stream. Heart Dao: The great monk understands from six words, and I understand from one hundred and eight words, and there must be a distinction between high and low.

Later, Chen Tianhong examined the Buddhist scriptures and other scrolls, and inadvertently, a yellow light came from the white paper, which caught his attention. When I slowly lifted the pile of paper, I found a piece of yellow paper sandwiched between the white paper, on which more than 1,000 words were written. This time, he actually knew the three words "dragon raising tips".

Chen Tianhong calmed down, thought about and analyzed carefully, and faintly felt that this piece of yellow paper should have been sent by the silver-haired man. When the Master of the Sky Lantern found out about this, he sent it to himself, so that he could discover it and learn by himself.

After reading a "dragon raising formula", Chen Tianhong only had one feeling - inexplicable. Because the recipe of "raising dragons" and the recipe of "descending dragons" are completely opposite. Just like the two meridian diagrams that Chen Tianhong knows.

Chen Tianhong had limited qualifications and limited understanding, and soon gave up the dragon raising recipe of unknown origin. Or decided to focus on the "dragon descending technique" taught by the master of the sky lantern.

Due to the trap of the dragon fruit, he completely lost his freedom. However, throughout the day, he can familiarize himself with the Yansheng Dictionary, watch the true works of the saints from time to time, imitate the master of the sky lantern to meditate and recite the "Wenqu Xingjue", and practice according to the Dharma every day.

* * *

From that day on, Chen Tianhong truly entered the world of cultivation. However, his cultivation progress was extremely touching. It wasn't until a certain hour three months later that he finally felt a trace of aura in the air while cultivating. Then, run the dragon descending technique, induce exhalation, refine and refine qi, and attribute it to all veins in the body.

Time flies.

Before you know it, another six months have passed. Even if it is the Buddhist scriptures on the desk, the thick Yansheng dictionary, and the appearance of the words on the copybook, they are all about to be memorized, but the aura of heaven and earth that Chen Tianhong can sense every day is still pitiful. In this regard, he was helpless and at a loss.

To make matters worse, I never felt hungry in nine months. In addition, during this period, the sky lantern monk never appeared again. All kinds of strange phenomena made him more and more uneasy.

On this day, the master of the sky lantern appeared mysteriously, looking at Chen Tianhong and only laughing. Chen Tianhong, who was laughing, had goosebumps all over his body, and thought: What's wrong with the great monk?

Tian Deng sighed and said, "The poison of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit on your body has been removed. The old monk was very relieved. However, your qualifications are more terrifying than the Dragon Fruit. The old monk has never been so helpless. ”

Chen Tianhong realized that Tianlan was laughing at his stupidity, and he was angry, so he could only hold back and said, "Master, what do you mean that I can leave here?"

"Yes!" Sky Lantern smiled and said, "It just so happens that the grass has already grown." Now is the best time to get rid of it. You pack up and follow me immediately. ”

"Oh!" Chen Tianhong thought to himself: What kind of grass?

Leaving the jade wall with the desk and following the sky lantern out of the mysterious Buddhist door, Chen Tianhong finally felt a feeling of seeing the light of day again. I couldn't help but take a few more breaths of fresh air. After putting down the desk, follow the sky lantern towards Nanshan. The mountain road you walk on is exactly where the dragon fruit grows.

The dragon fruit is gone, but where the dragon fruit grows, a round-stemmed grass that looks like noodles grows. This kind of grass is white, transparent as jade, without branches and leaves, like chopsticks made of jade ground upside down.

Tian Lantern said: "This grass is called immortal grass, and it is a bed cover plant that breeds dragon fruit. However, its toxicity is only one-ten-thousandth of that of dragon fruit. To others, it is still a deadly poison, but to you, it is nectar. So, firstly, in order to completely eliminate harmful things, and secondly, in order to further your cultivation, you have to eat all these ten acres of grass!"

"Do you really want me to eat grass?"
