Laoshan Taoist Chapter 9: Stop cutting wood
The method of practice passed down by the master is never seen from the body, and there is no fixed rules and regulations. It seems that he does it all by his own will, but in fact, there are other things.
is as if there is a destiny in the past, the tempering of the mind is only one aspect, the more focus is on fate, and the timing is also important.
For example, some seniors come up to the mountain, and after worshipping the teacher, they don’t have to do anything, they can just follow the master in practice.
But there are some people who have been up the mountain for several years, still chopping wood and carrying water to remove dust. Master has never mentioned anything about the teaching of the Fa.
Despite this, these people have never complained, just because the master mentioned it when they started, seeking immortality and learning is not a matter of overnight, not only must endure loneliness, endure hardship, but also have a kindness heart.
is willing to stay there and then chop wood and carry water, do some chores, serve as a training, and do not want to go down the mountain at any time.
These disciples are here for the immortal Dharma, willingly, even if they have been doing chores for a few years, no one can blame anyone.
Li Sheng has been going up the mountain for more than a year, and he has chopped firewood for more than a year. He has always worked hard and abide by his duties.
Now that he finally heard the words of the master, he felt that it was all worthwhile.
"Disciple...Thank you, Master!"
Li Sheng's excitement was beyond words, and he knelt down and thanked him immediately.
"Get up! What you experienced this time is fully understood by the teacher, and this can be considered a trial for you!"
The reason why he chose to let these three people go down the mountain to purchase is not to give orders at will.
Li Sheng is loyal and upright, he values love and righteousness. He is a good material, but his personality is a little less tempered. That's why he was allowed to chop wood for a year. Now the time is ripe and there is only one opportunity.
The old Dao once used the method of looking at the air and learned that he would be a catastrophe within the next few days. Fortunately, if things turn around, they can also turn the bad.
Therefore, for Li Sheng, this is a good opportunity.
If he can still keep his mind at the moment of life and death, he has passed his own test.
As for Wang Yan and Zhang Daoran, they naturally have a test element, but they are more of a foil for Li Sheng.
After finishing the matter of Li Sheng, the veteran Taoist looked at Wang Yan.
The child of this family is greedy and lazy, but the hit is related to immortality, and this relationship can be shallow or deep, depending on how he makes his own choice.
The old way expected that he would not be able to work for at most two months before he would leave due to unbearable hardship. The result was similar to what he had predicted, but after a month, Wang Yan had secretly retired.
Before he became an old man, he deliberately revealed the magic in front of him, cutting the paper for the moon, and cast the chopsticks into the emperor, hoping to restore this fairy relationship.
Now more than two months have passed. What the old Dao didn't expect was that not only did he no longer have the intention to retreat, but his desire for Tao became more tenacious.
Under calculations, there seems to be some kind of change, but it is impossible to find out what it is.
As the so-called impermanence of great power, he simply took advantage of the trend.
But this is a relief to the veteran.
But he can't directly teach Wang Yan's cultivation method because of this. He has to continue to observe and observe. If he still does this, it proves to be a plastic talent, and he may be able to do a lot in the future.
"Wang Yan, you still have surplus poison in your body, and there are other injuries in your body, and you need to take care of yourself. The teacher allows you to recuperate for three days. After three days, you don’t need to chop wood. Clean it up!"
The reason why he only helped Li Sheng heal his injuries, but didn't help Wang Yan clean up the remaining poison, he had already made plans, so he had to find an excuse for this.
"Yes! My disciple, thank you Master."
Seeing that Li Sheng has already entered the path of cultivation, he is far away in the foreseeable future, and his heart is more or less, and I don't know if it is jealous or envy.
But since the master has ordered otherwise, instead of letting him chop wood, let him clean the altar room in the sutra building. This is actually an improvement, so I don't dare to ask for too much.
"Well! Remember what you said, since you are sincerely seeking immortality and learning, don't be bitter."
Wang Yan Nuonuo said yes, but he felt that his words had other meanings.
"Fall! It's not early anymore, let's go back!"
As soon as this remark came out, Li Sheng and Wang Yan both retired and left, but Zhang Daoran stood aside, full of doubts.
"Uh...Master, brother follow your practice, and brother also changed things, then...what about me?"
Old Dao glanced at him.
"You? Continue to chop wood tomorrow!"
Zhang Daoran's face was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to disobey the master's will, so he still agreed.
……
At the command of the old way, the pharmacological senior in the door specially prepared a few medicines for Wang Yan. After these three days of recuperation, he not only completely discharged the remaining poison, but even his qi and blood physique, Wang Yan also felt enhanced A lot.
After three days passed, Wang Yan carried his broom and started his new job.
While recuperating in the past few days, he has thoroughly understood the internal structure of the Jinglou and the alchemy room. It is clear which places cannot be touched and which places need to be cleaned up.
The specifications of the Scripture Building are not very large. They are built in Qingheyuan. It has two floors, four rooms on the first floor, and three rooms on the second floor. The scriptures we borrowed and read daily were sorted and classified in order and recorded in the book.
In contrast, Danfang is not so troublesome.
Compared with the Jinglou, the Danfang is a bit smaller in size. It has only one floor with three rooms, and it is built on the opposite side of the Jinglou, but separated by a wall.
After all, he is not a senior who specializes in alchemy and medicine. Basically, he will not come here, so it seems a little deserted.
Every day he only needs to clean it twice in the morning and evening.
Compared to cutting wood, this job is a lot more comfortable.
And with the help of clearing the scripture building, when he is free, he will also read the Taoist scriptures in it carefully, hoping to understand what Taoist magical powers are from it.
As a result, he obviously thought things too simple. If Dao is so easy to understand, wouldn't everyone be able to become an immortal!
Although he didn't realize any immortality, the great principles contained in the scriptures also made him very rewarding. Some scriptures even mention medical and pharmacology, which is also an extremely rich treasure.
Although I haven't put it into practice~IndoMTL.com~, it's not bad to understand the theoretical knowledge.
So day after day, month after month, three months are fleeting.
He has already read most of the scriptures on the first floor.
In the beginning, Wang Yan was just to pass the time, but at the end, he was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
may be because the original owner of this body is a talented person who has been dealing with books since childhood, so his memory is excellent.
Wang Yan borrowed his corpse to resurrect his soul, and naturally inherited some of his abilities, but it was limited in the end. Although there is no one-word memorization, as long as he picks up this book, or a little bit of stimulation, it will appear in his mind. Make a general impression.
……
At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is updated.
Some seniors have not returned home for several years since they learned the Tao. Therefore, as early as a few days ago, they had asked their master to take a leave of absence and returned home to visit relatives.
Wang Yan in this life was born in a family. Although he has relatives, his brother inherited the ancestral business after his parents passed away. According to family rules, after he and Guan got married, he moved outside with his wife and separated from his elder brother. Home.
Going up the mountain to seek the Tao, it has been half a year since he has not yet learned Taoism and immortality, and he has no face to go home.
Wang Yan from his previous life, a young man, although he also talked about two girlfriends, he never got married.
is now reborn, and I never thought that there was already a sweet wife in the family. However, the memory of the original owner was not complete, which caused his impression of this wife to be rather vague.
Since he could not go home for the time being, he simply wrote a letter from the family and sent it to the brother who went down the mountain to purchase, so as not to miss his wife.
Borrowing someone’s physical opportunity is equivalent to accepting the other’s cause and effect. In any case, the responsibilities that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled.
