River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 12
A fire was lit in the courtyard, and three sticks of sandalwood were inserted where the two elders disappeared.

The scholar sat down on the stone bench, also dug out a bundle, and threw a white bun towards Jiangling.

Jiang Ling didn't refuse either, and took over the white bun, feeling extremely hard.

I thought that this thing can also be mouthed?
The scholar said to himself: "Bake it with fire, it won't be so hard."

While talking, he demonstrated it by himself, roasted it until it was browned, then tore it and ate it.

"Perhaps you also despise such rough food, if you don't want it, you can return it to me."

Although Jiang Ling said that he was not used to him before, but now he feels that this scholar is not just putting on a pose, but it is his nature.It's just not pleasant by nature.

So he followed his example, heated the white bun by the fire, then tore it and ate it.

"Let's get to know each other formally. My surname is Yan, my first name is Chixia, and I'm from Beijun. Where's your step?"

Hearing what he said, Jiang Ling's eyes suddenly changed.

Yan, Chixia?

This person finally appeared.But, why didn't he show up at Lanruo Temple, but came to Zhujiazhuang instead?

"My surname is Jiang, and my single name is Ling, which can be regarded as a native of Guobei County."

Qingniu Village was originally under the jurisdiction of Guo Bei.

"I don't know where my master is from? Your sword qi just now is quite fierce."

"There is no mastery."

Yan Chixia was curious about Jiangling's mentorship, and Jiangling told the truth.

However, Yan Chixia heard the words in her ears, but Yan Chixia thought that he didn't want to tell, so she knew what was interesting and didn't ask any more questions.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, but it's also my fault that I didn't tell you in advance."

Yan Chixia took out some paper money from her bag, threw it beside the fire and burned it, and continued casually: "The old man is the owner of this yard. Although he would wander around the yard every night, he never hurt anyone." cent."

Jiang Ling thought in his heart that it's really not my fault, just now they wanted to climb in through the window, who would resist doing it in such a situation?

"The Zhu family was originally a big family in Guobei, but five years ago a plague killed the entire family. The first to die was the grandson of the second elder. The second elder was so sad that he never wanted to admit it.

Even after death, because of deep obsession, his soul can't go down to hell, and he will become a ghost after a long time.

Seven years ago, I was on a study tour in the south, and I was here once, and I got the grace of two elders and one meal.

Come back this year, but don't think that in just a few years, things have changed.

I wanted to find a way to untie the resentment in the hearts of the two elders, so that they could enter reincarnation and repay the old kindness.

It's a pity that what I know is only the art of exorcising ghosts and demons, and I don't understand the Buddhist method of salvation.

I want to stay to comfort each other, but these two elders avoid me again and again.

In desperation, I can only stay here temporarily and find another way.

But they didn't expect that today's arrival would be their final calamity, but maybe, this is their destiny, that's all. "

Jiang Lingjing listened to what he said, and when he heard that the second elder avoided seeing him again and again, he also felt amused in his heart. It is no wonder that Yin and Xie dare to approach a person with such a strong yang energy like him.

After hearing what he said, I finally knew why he didn't appear in Lanruo Temple, but here.

"What are your plans from now on?" Jiang Ling suddenly asked.

"There is no plan or no plan, but the sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, wherever you go, just wander around the world."

"As a scholar, I'm about to go to the Spring Palace in February, can I go?"

Ning Caichen of Nalanruo Temple is the one who is going to Beijing to catch up for the exam.

"It doesn't matter whether you take the Chunwei Exam or not, what if you pass the exam? From north to south, where I pass, most of the people are in dire straits. What's more, the village is full of starvation, and the refugees change their sons to eat each other.

I used to think that working hard to become an official in the future might change this situation.

But the more experience you have and the more you see it, you will know that the building is about to collapse, and it is definitely not a few people who can turn the tide with a passion.

Rather than repairing and repairing this riddled court, it is better to let it rot completely.There is no great order without chaos.

If you try your best to maintain it with a pedantic heart, in the end, you will only harm more innocent people. "

Jiang Ling was slightly startled, for those who dared to say such a thing among scholars, it would be regarded as treasonous.

"You're also a scholar, right? Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Like a different kind?"

Jiang Ling shook his head, perhaps this concept was really outrageous in the eyes of other scholars of the same era.But if you look at it from the perspective of future generations, what he said is full of truth.

"No, I agree with you on the contrary."

"Oh?" Yan Chixia also seemed surprised: "Then how do you view imperial power?"

Jiang Ling smiled and said, "It depends on what you are asking about."

"The sage Mencius said: the people are the most important, the community is second, and the monarch is the lightest. However, the reality is always the opposite. No matter what dynasty, the monarch is the most important, the community is second, and the people are the least. What I want to ask is, Are the ancient sages talking nonsense and bewitching people from the very beginning?"

Jiang Ling laughed, this Yan Chixia criticized the imperial court first and then the sages, as a scholar, she is really brave.

"Whether the sages talked nonsense, I can't say for sure. But what they said and wrote, in my opinion, is just an ideal. It is an ideal that they themselves may not be able to achieve.

If you believe in it, you will fall into pedantry; but if you don't believe it at all, once you lose hope for ideals in this world, it will be no different from hell. "

"Hahahaha..." Yan Chixia laughed, looking up to the sky and laughing loudly, "Well said, maybe this world is a hell. Everyone has to cross the sea of ​​bitterness from birth, taste all the ups and downs, and get to the end. Those on the other side are immortals, and those who are submerged in the sea of ​​suffering are mortals, but how many people can cross the other side since ancient times?! It’s just a wasted life, and in the end it’s just a mirror image.”

"This is a negative statement."

"Of course, this is also my [Heart Realm]. Three years ago, a different person taught me the law. He once said that if I can break the [Mind Realm] of 'Mirror Flowers and Water Moon', I will meet again. I asked him how It can be broken, he only said that if you enter the world, you can break it yourself.

To put it simply, I have worked hard for three years, maybe my understanding is not enough after all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through in this life. "

Jiang Ling nodded, feeling something in his heart.

His so-called heart realm can also be regarded as vision or pattern.

Those with a small structure are equal to enclosing themselves in a prison.If you can't jump out, you will be trapped in it all your life.

Today's Yan Chixia looks at the world like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water. This realm is far superior to ordinary people, but she has not yet entered the stage of Taoism.

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water are not considered beginners, so what kind of state of mind can be considered beginners?" '

"I don't know what method you are involved in. Is it possible that this method itself has limitations?"

Yan Chixia said: "The half of the "Qian Kun Yi Qi Gong" passed down by a stranger once said that this method can reach immortals, and there is no limit to the skills. The achievement depends on the individual. It should only be my personal problem."

Qiankun Yiqigong?

This is the first time Jiangling heard the name of the classics related to Taoism in this world.

Just when he was about to speak, Yan Chixia waved his hand suddenly and said: "You don't need to point me, I know that your mind realm is much higher than mine, but another person once said that the improvement of your mind realm depends on self-enlightenment. Got it."

Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking that you have misunderstood, and I have nothing to advise you.

　Thank you brother Xiaole for your reward!Your enthusiasm made me see hope for a comeback!
