Chapter 42: Hu Zhongzi rescues Xuanmenke, Qingfengjian scares away ignorant monks (5)(1/2)
The purpose of Taoist Qingfeng went down the mountain was very clear, which was to help the Ming Dynasty reopen the sun and the moon and wait for the world to be stable. As long as there was Ren Xuan and Hongzhi's rule of the world, it would be a great merit.
Until he met Qian Yiqun, Taoist Qingfeng suddenly felt that he was very superficial.
As a monk, what is the difference between fighting and killing for merit and those dogs fighting for meat and bones? Look at this young Taoist priest, Yun Ling has caught five souls in just a few years. He doesn’t even know what merit is, so he is willing to make things difficult for Jiannu everywhere and is determined to destroy the foundation of Hu Chou.
Of course, there are not many such people in Liaodong. But that is because his family was killed and his land was occupied, and he has a deep hatred with Jiannu. And this kind man, who was obviously a figure from the wealthy village in Jiangnan, probably had never seen Jiannu before he arrived in Liaodong, so he had such a firm belief. What is compassion? This is compassion!
Taoist Qingfeng bowed deeply: "With the power of Taoist master, he will surely turn bad luck into good fortune, and good fortune is the same as heavenly beings."
"Chengjun Jiyan." Qian Yiqun smiled bitterly.
——If I had known that merit was so important, why would I have to be greedy for success and profit and kill Bumu Butai? Anyway, people like her who have a significant impact on the dragon vein will always die, right?
Qian Yiqun thought again: But my merits come easily. As long as I have a book on Youxian, I may not be able to accumulate a lot of merits.
After making up his mind, Qian Yiqun planned to wait until his spirit recovered, and then go to another world to make a journey to gain merit and get over the addiction of a great god.
"What are the Taoist priest's plans next?" asked Taoist Qingfeng.
"I have to find a skilled teacher to cure this arm first." Qian Yiqun raised his unconscious forearm and suddenly found that the skin on his hands had already appeared purple-blue. This is not a good sign, but probably a sign of muscle necrosis.
Qian Yiqun tried Kunling, but unfortunately, the spell that could resurrect the dead could not dispel this curse from the ghost, which was quite helpless.
"The Taoist priest might as well go to Longkong Valley with me," said Qingfeng Taoist, "My senior brother Hu Zhongzi is best at refining alchemy and making medicine to save lives and heal the wounded. And after Jiang An talked about dating Taoist priests, I was all admired by fellow practitioners. If it weren't for the fact that Hu Zhongzi was really not good at running around, I would have come to meet Taoist priests long ago."
Qian Yiqun also heard Jiang An praises the skill of Hu Zhongzi's medical skills, but did not refuse, and said, "It's so hard."
"Let's walk over together." Taoist Qingfeng knew that his sword-wielding speed was too fast, and even if he put the speed to the slowest, Qian Yiqun might not be able to keep up.
Qian Yiqun was about to agree, but suddenly felt a sense of emotion. He looked up and saw a black dot in the sky slowly approaching, and soon a sound of eagle cries came.
The Jurchens like to tame Hai Dongqing as their hunting assistant, so falcons often fly by in the sky. Qian Yiqun is smart at the moment and has a quick sense of sensitivity. From the eagle's cries, he clearly hears the call of the eagle.
"Master Zhang," Qian Yiqun pointed to the flying eagle in the sky, "That's my friend. Can you help you to lead it down?"
Qingfeng said, "What's the difficulty?", and immediately took the sword to the sky, circled around the mountain eagle and landed again.
The mountain eagle is an ancient spiritual species, and its IQ is comparable to that of ordinary feathers? It sang repeatedly, pointing out the directions to the foxes and old deer on the ground, and it also fell down.
Qian Yiqun turned his head slightly and let Shanying stand on his shoulders. The intimate appearance of this man and a bird made Taoist Qingfeng envious. He secretly decided that he would also find a long-haired partner and work hand in hand on this lonely path of practice.
After a while, the fox and the old deer also came. Seeing that there were outsiders, the fox remained silent, but asked Qian Yiqun to touch its neck, which was considered to be a greeting.
"Fellow Daoist, I have Brother Lu to travel with you, so I am not satisfied with my speed in this mountain. You can take the sword to lead the way." Qian Yiqun said.
Taoist Qingfeng thought about it and the same reason was true. After Qian Yiqun blessed various acceleration spells, he turned over the deer, and then he flew towards Longkong Mountain with his sword.
Qian Yiqun took the Qingfeng and did not pay attention, but took the old deer, fox and mountain eagle into the Cuiluo Holy Land.
The old deer was exhausted from the way, so how could he get on the road immediately? The first spell that Taoist Qingfeng learned was to fly with a sword. He had never had a mount, so naturally he had never considered the ability to sustain animal power.
"What's wrong?" As soon as the fox entered Cuiluan Mountain, he asked anxiously.
Qian Yiqun smiled and said, "The dragon vein of the Jurchens is broken. As long as they survive the backlash, they will have no hope. But why don't you tell me the importance of merit!"
"Merit? Can that thing be eaten?" the fox said disdainfully.
Qian Yiqun was stunned.
Whether it is the fox or Zhongxingyue, they do not believe in the imported product of "merit". In their opinion, it is enough to practice and practice that conforms to the Tao, and there is no need to worry about what you get and what you lose. Only those monks with insufficient talent and lack of deep fate need to figure out those shortcuts.
Why care about using Qian Yiqun to refine the five souls?
"Multiple blessings are always good." Qian Yiqun could not agree with this kind of spendthrift thinking, but still felt that any kind of strength to strengthen himself should be cherished. He immediately told the detailed story of his broken dragon vein and the episodes in Jiannu Palace.
"It seems that your mission in the world is not progressing slowly. How long has it been removed? "The fox exclaimed, "By the way, Xiaoying said, what's wrong with you taking its spiritual core?"
Qian Yiqun was confused. After he calculated the receipt of his trip one by one, he finally found out that he had taken out a treasure he had almost forgotten - the Yufeng Statue from the golden scale basket.
When the mountain eagle saw the jade carving, it flapped its wings and flew over. The old hen hatched on the jade carving like a nest, motionless, and its sharp beak was opened and opened, and it seemed very excited.
The fox said, "This is its spiritual core, which has been carved by humans. It should have been an egg."
"What is the spirit core?" Qian Yiqun asked.
"It is the remains left by our ancient spiritual seeds after death," said the fox. "If you practice it, you can shape a spirit body by chance and possess it."
Qian Yiqun was quite surprised: "I thought this was just a treasure."
The fox smiled again.
"What's the use of the jade carving that summoned a dead white phoenix?" said the fox. "If Bi Fang collects its spiritual core, you can get a living white phoenix. Well, although the duration was relatively short at the beginning."
Everyone knows how to do this deal. Although Qian Yiqun and Bi Fang have been acquainted with each other for a short time, they are a specialist sent by their master and have different statuses. What's more, he knows that the ancient spiritual seeds have a kind of persistence that others cannot understand in reshaping the spirit body, and they are even more reluctant to stop Bi Fang's journey to return.
"I'll give it to you." Qian Yiqun touched Bi Fang's head and thought to himself: When it reshapes the spirit body, I'm afraid you can't be so presumptuous.
Bi Fang is the sacred bird who guards the carriage for Emperor Huang.
At this moment, Bi Fang turned his head very comfortably and let Qian Yiqun's fingers shuttle through the feathers.
"What about your spirit core?" Qian Yiqun was more concerned about his old friend and asked the fox.
"Our spirit core..." The fox was entangled for a moment, "Let's talk about it when you form a holy fetus, and you have to improve your spells more."
"Where did you get killed while wandering?" Qian Yiqun was curious about where the fox's remains were placed. Why did it sound so unreliable?
"Let's talk about it then." The fox turned his head and leaned on the ground. "We need to rest, it's so tiring to rush forward."
There was more than one fox who felt tired. The old deer ate a meal of the rare grass in the Cuiluan Mountains, drank the clear stream water, and found a comfortable place to lie down and rest. The mountain eagle swallowed the jade carving, and hunched his head and neck to take a nap.
Qian Yiqun had nothing to do, so he simply closed his eyes and meditated, trying to use his yang energy to force the coldness in his hands to relieve the coldness in his hands. Although the effect was not good, it was finally much better than letting go.
After the human and beasts had rested, Qian Yiqun took his friends away from Cuiluan Mountain and returned to the northern country where water was dripping into ice.
The energetic old deer quickly caught up with Qingfeng, of course, because Qingfeng slowed down and kicked Xue and stepped on the ice to run towards Longkong Valley.
Qian Yiqun was quite surprised when he first saw Yingke Song.
On one side is covered with snow, but on the other side is green.
Just one step forward and after, it seemed like traveling through two worlds.
"Please, Taoist priest." Qing Feng fell down the sword light and led the way as the master here.
Qian Yiqun also turned over and followed closely behind, enjoying the northern country's Jiangnan land.
It was not popular to compile famous scenic spots at this time. Qian Yiqun saw the scenery beside the road and the strange colors were endless, but Qingfeng was used to it, and he did not expect to explain it. After walking all the way to the entrance of the valley, Qian Yiqun saw two bluestone columns standing, with golden figures faintly emitting from it.
Qian Yiqun looked closely, but realized that it was a cursive script. He stopped and looked up and read: "Lonely and Wuchen are really lonely." Then he turned his head to read the second couplet: "There is the fruit of clear and clear."
"It's indeed the work of a god." Qian Yiqun praised.
Taoist Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "This is the gate of my Longkong Valley."
Qian Yiqun said curiously: "Gu is famous as Long Kong, is there any allusions?"
"This place originated from a place where monks live in leisure, communicate Taoism, and join in the clear and empty place." Taoist Qingfeng explained, "Because there was a great master who claimed to be from Longkong Mountain, and many people in the valley were educated. The monks were grateful for his morality, so they named Longkong as the valley. Well, this couplet was also written by him. There was a mystery in it."
"Oh? What Xuanji is it?"
"People who have insufficient cultivation will always turn a blind eye to this sect, and even have various delusions in their hearts and leave quickly. Only by practicing true cultivation can they see these two couplets." Qing Feng said.
Qian Yiqun looked at the sentence "Lonely and dust-free, so lonely", and chewed it repeatedly. Although the aftertaste is sweet, he always feels something is wrong.
Qingfeng was going to walk with his steps, but when he saw Qian Yiqun standing there, he had to stop waiting for him. If you want to see the true or false practice, patience is the shallowest level. As long as you have some realization in nature, you will never be anxious, panic and impatient about something.
Therefore, Qian Yiqun was injured, but he didn't care at all. Although Qingfeng had mundane affairs to do, he never made a sound urging. The two of them had different paths, but their pace was the same.
"Oh!" Qian Yiqun sighed, "I always feel something is wrong, so that's it!"
"Oh? I'd like to ask for advice." Qingfeng read it twice and bowed, "I have read this couplet since I was a child and I have never felt that there is anything wrong with it."
"Is loneliness not heart dust? Where is Qingxu's way?" Qian Yiqun stood with his hands behind his back and pointed.
Qingfeng secretly read it and praised it: "It's true that there is some truth. If the spiritual platform is pure and dust-free, it will naturally be happy and harmonious, and there will be no loneliness. However, please explain this theory of the Tao of purity and nothingness in detail."
"Clear and empty means Tao. If a person can keep these two words, he will be in Tao. Where did the Tao come from?" Qian Yiqun said.
Taoist Qingfeng frowned slightly: "The great way is vast and tolerate everything. Even if you are in the fire house, you are still in the Tao. In this way, those who enter the pure and empty state have no way are probably inappropriate."
Qian Yiqun felt that Qingfeng was right at first, and laughed dryly: "I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Qingfeng said "humility" and the two were about to walk in again.
Qian Yiqun's feet just left the ground, suddenly his mind seemed to be hit by a hammer, his whole body was cool and refreshing. He could only hear the scriptures and bells in his inner world, all of which were extraordinary. However, the Tao was full of emotion and his mind was enlightened.
"Master Zhang." Qian Yiqun stood up again.
"Please tell me, Taoist priest." Taoist Qingfeng had no choice but to stop.
"Do you have to do it?"
Lao Tzu said: Heaven can be clear, earth can be peaceful, god can be spiritual, valley can be full, all things can be born, and marquis and kings can be upright to the world.
One is Tao.
Anyone who says that he has "one", he will definitely not have "one".
Because this person already has the concept of "one" and the concept of "get". This is the second.
Qian Yiqun has already casually explained the great premise of "clear and emptiness are Tao", and "Tao is one". If a person is clear and emptiness and knows "Tao", it is "two". Although the great way is all-encompassing, there are two in his heart, which is definitely not a state of clear and emptiness.
Just now, Taoist Qingfeng's defense equated "in Qingxu" and "in Tao". In fact, "in Qingxu" means "receive the true Tao". Although people are always in Tao and cannot exist beyond Tao, not everyone can master the true Tao and use their hearts as a mirror.
