Taoist chanting

Chapter 135 Someone broke through and someone invited a drink
In the stillness of the night, Zhang Wenfeng sat cross-legged and guarded his heart with the Wuyou Jue, and recited the "Tai Shang Shuo Chang Qing Jing Sutra" repeatedly for about an hour.

Use the scriptures to cleanse the dust, achieve extreme tranquility, and let the whole body be transparent before exhaling a long breath.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current without any slack. Don't be eager for quick success and quick benefits, and don't be greedy for perfection.

He almost suffered a loss and gave birth to a demon, and secretly warned that he needs to strengthen chanting in the future, and wipe his mind with self-examination every day.

Standing up, the candles in the quiet room had long been burned out, and it was pitch black.

He paced around in the dark for a while, remembering the "Mu Lei Method", and asked via voice transmission: "Your Daoist Zhong, it's so late, so you're not bothering me, right?"

There is no yellow talisman pasted on the mouth of the bottle, and there is no simple Yuan Qi restriction.

Zhong Wenyong turned into the former mountain god, swallowing clouds and mist in the bottle, very happy, after suffering for more than five hundred years, finally there is hope after suffering.

"Don't bother, Zhang Daoyou has something to do, please just say it!"

Turned into a finger-sized mountain god, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he absorbs the power of the incense and will not be disturbed.

He guessed what Zhang Daoyou wanted to ask, and he was still waiting.

"I don't know, Fellow Daoist Zhong, do you have the method to cultivate Mulei?"

Zhang Wenfeng knew it well, and the God of the Mountain deliberately gave him a burden of "Yuqing Jiamu Shocking Thunder Talisman" in order to make him owe him more favors, so he was not polite.

Instead of making meritorious deeds and going to the Daolu Academy to ask for the reward of the Mulei Law, it would be more enjoyable to speak to Zhongshan God.

Big deal, when the remnant soul of Chaodu Mountain God enters the Nether Realm, read the scriptures a few more times for blessing.

He has relaxed his mind, as long as he doesn't violate the bottom line.

"Back then, I got a remnant of the Taoist "Qingxiao Jumu Leishu". The first part is still complete. I copied it on the paper. Zhang Daoyou, you can try to practice. In the future, you may be able to find the complete chapter and complete the exercises."

The words were clear, Zhong Wenyong didn't pretend to be reserved, and a roll of rice paper flew out of the bottle.

The paper roll changed from a small needlepoint to a large ruler, which was the method of the mountain god.

Zhang Wenfeng took out the scroll from the black cloth bag, and wondered to himself what method Zhong Wenyong used to hide so many items on his body?Does he believe that Zhong Wenyong, as a Wuxiu mountain god, can remember so many things from Taoism?
Of course he won't pry into other people's secrets.

There is no need to say thank you to Zhong Wenyong, just keep it in mind.

Walk out of the quiet room, light the candles and unfold the scroll. There are three pages, and the front and back sides are filled with pictures and texts.

After reading it once, he dripped water on the inkstone to grind it, and wrote down the remaining chapters at his desk.

The front part of "Qingxiao Gathering Wood Thunder Book" is complete, and when he learns the fur of the wood thunder method, he can draw thunder symbols.

On the 27th.

After finishing the morning class, I had breakfast.

Zhang Wenfeng, his second senior brother and Yue Anyan drank tea leisurely in the West Hall.

Let's talk about the family stories of the parents of the Taoist temple, and exchange the experience of the second senior brother's assessment of apprentices outside these days.

"Yesterday at noon, I went to Qianling Village. When I passed by Canghe Town, I met layman Wei Xingde. We stood by the side of the road and chatted for a long time. He said that since the last time their family was having trouble with spirits, some people in the village had opinions about their family. The problem is still there. Not too big.

Later, it was rumored that the two spirits who had been expelled from their family went to Nihu Village and killed half of the men and women in the village, killing more than two hundred people.

He also said that the government only hunted down one of the spirits in Banni Lake, and the other will come back sooner or later.

Now their family is restless, the children dare not go out, the women in the village point at each other every day, and every night, someone throws manure into their yard, no matter how they explain it, it is useless.

He wanted to ask me, our Taoist temple has recruited so many apprentices, do we need manpower to do the work?He wants to move his family and doesn't plan to return to the village for at least ten years. "

Zhang Wenfeng and Yue Anyan looked at each other, they had acquainted with the couple before, so they had a good impression.

At present, the dark boy Wei Jingjie is still staying on the mountain, helping the lame uncle to work. The lame uncle likes his hard work. These days, the lame uncle is teaching Wei Jingjie how to practice standing with a wooden spear.

"Success, he is an outsider believer, and the mountain is also in need of people to cook, grow vegetables, and cultivate. Last time, I asked Uncle Lame to find a few people to work here for a long time. Uncle Lame said that hardworking people are hard to find. He also In comparison, second senior brother, you talk to Uncle Lame, and then talk to Wei Xingde, the salary is generous, and the rules should be clarified first.

They couldn't live in the short mountain yard, they had to build another house by the east forest.

From now on, our Taoist temple will have a lot of people and things to do. We will buy errands nearby, find nearby farmers to plant and harvest, settle the amount and bargain, etc. All these chores need specialized personnel to do them. Wei Xingde should be able to do them, and he can take his time to investigate.This manpower is well chosen, which can save us a lot of things. "

Zhang Wenfeng agreed.

Although the apprentices recruited by the Taoist temple also go to the fields to work, it is for sharpening and training, but the main job is still practice.

The second senior brother agreed, and then chatted about other things. After the pot of tea was finished, the three of them dispersed.

Zhang Wenfeng put on a bamboo hat, called the donkey up the mountain, and put it on a saddle. The young badger fell asleep in a bamboo basket lined with withered grass. The bamboo basket was hung on the donkey's back.

Say hello to the lame uncle who is instructing the dark boy to shoot a gun in the wheat drying field: "Uncle lame, I'm going to the city, so you don't need to leave me a meal at noon or evening."

"Success, go get busy with business."

The old cripple held the iron rod and carefully taught and corrected the young man's movement of piercing the gun. The requirements were very strict.

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the sweaty, dark boy. He also learned how to use the middle-level spear from the lame uncle. Later, his master interfered, so he didn't spend time practicing. He still remembered the gun moves, especially the fierce and abrupt "returning carbine gun". Very profound.

After going down the mountain, he rode a donkey on the official road.

Answer all kinds of weird questions from donkeys and unusual people, and you will be in the city before you know it.

First, I went to the blacksmith's shop, picked up some carving tools he ordered yesterday, came to the Daolu branch, and went to say hello to the owner. At this time, the owner was also busy, just in time to test the donkey and the young badger.

Not wanting to be known, he led the donkey into the empty room next door.

After the test was completed, Wu Ganping handed over four files, and Zhang Wenfeng filled them out one by one, and received two "first-order spirit beast tokens", black iron in color, with information such as the type, characteristics, and owner of the spirit beast engraved on the back.

Wu Ganping had engraved the sign long ago, blessed it with a little breath, and just waited for him to come to pick it up.

I read in the library in the morning, returned to the office after lunch, and spread paper and pen on the desk.

After careful consideration, he decided to choose the Taoist classic "Taishang Tongxuan Sifang Miaojing", which has been circulated in the world, and carve it on the eight sides of the jade pillar as the foundation of the formation, instead of daring to present the never-before-appeared "Tao Te Ching" in writing. .

Occasionally chanting scriptures in the language of the previous life is regarded as a secret dialect, and even if others listen to it, they will not follow the truth.

If an eloquent and magnificent work of thousands of words appears on the jade pillar, no matter if it uses the Chinese characters of the previous life or the Da'an characters, it will cause trouble if it is seen by others, so don't ask for trouble.

Spreading out the scriptures, Zhang Guanzhu held the Daishi in his hand, and used a wooden ruler to draw a line on the rice paper according to the size of the jade column.

He has to sort out the scriptures that will be used on all eight sides of the 64 pillars. Each pillar must maintain the integrity of the scriptures. Every eight pillars is a group, which is also a whole.

This is a meticulous and tedious job that requires energy and effort to prepare in advance.

I was busy until it was very dark, missed dinner, and led the donkey to sell some cooked food in the street shop to deal with it.

It's not too late, use the token to leave the city through the side door.

The donkey rushed back to the Taoist temple without stopping, just in time for the evening class to start.

For the next few days, Zhang Wenfeng didn't ride a donkey anymore, he left early and returned late, commuting between the county town and the Taoist temple.

In the morning, I read the classics in the library, in the afternoon I sorted out and transcribed the scriptures, in the evening I recited the scriptures and introspected. I have a little free time to figure out the wooden thunder technique and the collection of copper coins. Please ask Che Sheng for help.

The days are busy and fulfilling.

Sooner or later, the homework is not accepted, otherwise it will be the end of the book.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the month, Zhang Wenfeng finally copied and sorted out all the scriptures to be carved on the jade pillars. A thick stack of rice paper and a basket of copper coins that Che Sheng helped him collect for more than a century have already been offered on the altar of the Taoist temple.

After tidying up, rubbing my sore fingers, I opened the door and went out.

Seeing Fu Gujing, who was full of joy, walking towards him, he clasped his fists and said with a smile from a long distance away:
"Brother Zhang, please go to Zhiweilou for a drink, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't come home!"

Zhang Wenfeng looked at the sky, he didn't know when it was cloudy, it looked like it was going to rain, he finished work early today, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, what's the good news, let me tell you about it?"

"Haha, I can't hide it from you. It's a good thing and a happy thing."

Fu Gujing was overjoyed, and said via voice transmission: "Thanks to you, brother, Junior Sister Yun broke through the bottleneck and successfully advanced to the Gradient Realm. Do you think it is a happy event?"

Zhang Wenfeng clasped his fists hurriedly: "Congratulations, congratulations!"

Confused, he asked through sound transmission: "Why is it thanks to me? How do you say this?"

He was busy with his own affairs these days, and he only had a face-to-face meeting with Dean Wu, Fu Gujing, and the recovered Chen Qingqiao, and he hadn't met Yun Qiuhe for a few days.

"Junior Sister Yun said that the night before yesterday, in the dead of night, she was fascinated by the artistic conception of your landscape painting, and suddenly she felt enlightened, and felt that the bottleneck was loose, so she retreated to her residence and broke through this morning, so she should thank you for letting her find it. Breakthrough opportunity... Hey, the bottleneck is hard to break."

Fu Gujing's last sentence is out of feeling, he has been stuck in the bottleneck for almost two years.

It is certainly a happy event for the junior sister to break through, but he felt even more urgent.

"Hehe, that's the opportunity for Fellow Daoist Yun, and it has nothing to do with my paintings. Brother Fu, you have accumulated a lot of money, and the day of breakthrough is coming soon."

"Haha, Cheng Jiyan, I must have a few more drinks tonight."
