Taoist chanting

Chapter 445

During the rainy season, the drizzle fell endlessly.

Inside the simple cave, the ground is smooth and clean. Zhang Wenfeng sat in front of the stone table, holding a long brush, dipped in talisman ink and cinnabar.

The brushwork is rendered with splashed ink, and the strokes flow smoothly, without stagnation in objects.

The ink was dripping on the long talisman paper. After the laying was completed, another fine talisman pen was used to outline the thin lines of gossamer with thick ink. Yuan Qi left complex traces on the paper through the tip of the pen. strange picture.

At the moment of completing the picture of the upside-down world, his brushwork seems to be extremely heavy.

The vitality in his body was suddenly lost, and he became dizzy suddenly. With his extremely quiet state at this time, he could withstand it. He twisted his wrist and wrote the final talisman. Finally, the palace is returned to the Yuan.

There was a slight flash of light on the talisman paper, the talisman was successfully drawn, and the ink dried and solidified in an instant.

Zhang Wenfeng supported the desk and supported his swaying body, with a look of joy on his face, and slowly put the talisman pen in his hand back into the pen holder.

This "landscape shifting talisman" is too difficult to draw. After practicing these days, the success rate is still terrible. He specially let the donkey look after it here for a long time, and went to Zhoucheng to order three dozen of the best three at a high price. Blank running water talisman paper.

Every time a talisman is drawn, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will consume [-]% of his energy, especially the mental consumption.

You can draw up to three pictures in one day, and thank God if you can make one in three days.

With his toughness, it was a little too much for him, and the failures again and again tested his mentality.

Suddenly the monk's admiration came from outside the cave: "Wonderful! Zhang Guanzhu's skill in drawing talismans is indescribable, and his state of mind is really brilliant. This little monk has learned another trick secretly."

There are only monks who can talk about stealing so openly and honestly.

But if you want to learn the skill of drawing symbols secretly, it is not so difficult.

If you haven't studied the unique symbols in depth, you can't even understand the deep meaning in them, let alone learn them.

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said, "Monk, please come in and talk. When did you leave the customs? Lu Zijin has been slacking off to play again." He took a few steps outside to welcome the monk who came in.

The monk's ordinary face became more and more unrecognizable to everyone, short inch-long hair grew on his head, and his breath became more restrained, so that Zhang Guanzhu, who was immersed in drawing symbols, didn't notice it when he left the customs and walked outside the cave.

A donkey brayed in the air outside the cave: "Monastery Lord, don't wrong the donkey, it's the monk who won't let me disturb you."

These days, the donkey lives in an abandoned cave on the top of the mountain with three little spirits. After tidying up, the inside is very spacious. The drinks in the object space were not enough, and it even carried Xiao Jingmei back to the Taoist temple to replenish it twice.

With its flying speed, it would not take much time to return to the Taoist temple and make a round trip.

With the instruction of the temple master, he went to Zhoucheng with Tukun, and became a third-order spirit beast in the assessment, with a storage bag distributed to it by Xie Hufa hanging around its neck, which contained all its food and drink.

It was well-known in the Da'an Dynasty, and all masters in the free realm of the sects knew that there was such a donkey.

"Okay, I wronged you, I apologize."

Zhang Wenfeng apologized casually and insincerely to the donkey.

The donkey and the three little ones were playing outside on the grass. Even in rainy weather, they still had a great time playing.

The monk picked up the finished talisman on the stone case, admired it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Guanzhu Zhang's talisman is well drawn, there is no trace of chiseling, it is natural, and the monk took it to study it." Very politely put the talisman into it Wide cuffs.

Zhang Wenfeng was quite helpless towards the monk's rogue play.

This former great virtuous and eminent monk showed his true colors in front of him. Is it easy for him to draw a talisman?A dozen blank talismans can draw up to two complete talismans, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you have to try your luck. He tidied up the stack of waste talismans on the table and reminded: "When are we going to the blessed land of Bishuitang? Eight days left."

After more than [-] days of retreat, he could see that the monk had not broken through and advanced to the fourth-level relic realm.

The six realms of Buddhist monks are different from those of Taoist monks. They are: red dust, dust, Buddha nature, relics, Buddha light, and universal illumination.

The monk waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not going. I'll let you collect that fortune, and exchange it for a talisman, so that you won't slander the monk from the bottom of your heart. How about it, is the monk generous?"

Zhang Wenfeng ignored the monk's joke, looked up and down the monk who couldn't see the depth, and asked, "Are you... going back to break through the barrier?" He guessed that this was the only possibility, and hitting the fourth level was a matter of practice, life and death, so sloppy Don't be careless.

"Break and then stand up, resurrect from the dead, the monk has gained a lot, it's time to go back."

The monk spoke calmly and did not hide anything.

What is a mere blessing compared to breaking through the border?
Besides, he has practiced for so many years, and he seems to find opportunities wherever he goes, not bad for this one.

"Congratulations monk! It's not easy to get out of the world, I wish the monk an early rebirth and achieve the Buddha way!"

Zhang Wenfeng solemnly bowed his hands and saluted, he was sincerely happy for the monk, and spoke auspicious words.

The monk bowed his palms solemnly and thanked him. He was able to distinguish between the sincere and the false. Although the time spent with Zhang Daochang was not long, it was a few key points on his way to escape from the world. He was able to find the opportunity to break through, and Zhang Daochang made a great contribution.

After teaching the specific location of Bishuitang blessed land and the opening method to Guanzhu Zhang, and explaining a few more words, the monk said goodbye, turned and walked out of the cave.

Zhang Wenfeng sent out the cave gate, flew into the vast rain and fog, and asked curiously: "Monk, what good things are there in the blessed land of Bishuitang? Can we talk about it now?"

He specifically asked Tu Kun to go to Zhoucheng to search for classics. There are very few records about the blessed land of Bishuitang, and no valuable information has been obtained. I don't know where the monk found the clues?

"You will know when you go, if you don't go, it will be your loss."

The monk smiled and sold a pass, and the gods and gods deliberately talked so that Zhang Guanzhu couldn't stop, and said: "Go up the mountain to see the scenery, you should go slowly! Daoist, you don't have to blindly seek speed. Cultivating the Tao is like carving a beautiful jade. It takes time to calm down. If you want to remove the chaff and save the chaff, you must not hurt his bones and spirits, how difficult it is, how can you be careless and cautious?"

He folded his palms together and bowed his body, said "No", before disappearing into the drizzle.

Zhang Wenfeng stood in the air for a long time, chewing the monk's farewell words. He knew that the monk saw his shortcomings, and this was the second time he reminded him to "walk slowly when going up the mountain to see the scenery". Risk pointing out a Taoist priest.

He decided to settle down for a few years, and not rush to improve his cultivation and strengthen various skills.

There is a sequence in learning the Tao, and the monk's heartfelt words must be listened to.

With his current strength and the overall power of Xianlingguan, he has a place in the Da'an Dynasty. He can relax a little and don't have to fight so hard to catch up. He should think about himself.

The donkey came rushing from the rain and shouted: "Monastery Master, why did the monk leave? Just now Lu Xiner called him twice, but he seemed to be thinking about something and didn't hear it. He flew away in the blink of an eye."

"The monk is going to officially retreat and break through the realm, so he has gone back to the temple."

"Ah! It's a good thing that we're about to break through. Then shall we... go to the blessed land of Bishuitang?"

"Of course, the monk taught me how to open it."
