Wandering

Chapter 177 Listening to the Tide Chapter 146 No need to be surprised by the mirage, Lingshan is my home
I am not an eminent monk, and I have not yet understood the freedom of Nirvana. I am a cultivator in the middle of learning the Tao, and I am moved when I hear the verses in the wind.Lu Zhishen was talking about himself, but when I heard it, I thought of the two people today, who took care of me. "I don't cultivate good fruits in my life, I only love to kill people and set fires", isn't this referring to Fu Jie who just died physically and mentally? "I received a letter from the tide on the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am." It was Shi Ye at this moment.

On the top of the eagle's nest, one dies and another is born.The one who died was Fu Yinyu, and the one who was reborn was me, Shi Xiaoren.Not long ago, I saw the mid-air Dragon Head Pagoda appearing in the phantom of Shifan Mirage. At that time, I vaguely remembered a poem: "Buddha is in my heart, don't beg, Lingshan is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Pagoda, and only look to Lingshan. Repair under the pagoda." This was quoted by Monk Fayuan when he lectured, and of course I memorized it verbatim, but I didn't think much about it afterwards.Under the Lingshan Pagoda, what is the repair?It's useless to think about it, I still continue my alchemy practice honestly.When Shafu met Shifan and recalled this poem, he was confused, and seemed to have a sprout that wanted to break out of the ground.

Listening to Yu Wenshu unintentionally singing the gatha of Lu Zhishen's death in the sea, he felt the sea and sky in front of him, and his body and mind suddenly became enlightened.Last night, my "fetal movement" state was able to break through the "porch" and reach the "before the eyes", so what is the "before the eyes"?There is a piece of sea and sky in front of you!This is the last step of the "fetal movement" mental method to complete the realm - complete.From the inseparable body and mind after the completion of the golden core, to the perfect description when the holy fetus is condensed, my alchemy practice has finally broken through another level!

I remember when Feng Junzi taught me the formula and mental method of "fetal movement", he said that he can only teach it when he is in a state of mind. When he taught me, I always had a question in my heart, "Who am I?" Today, I suddenly heard someone singing "I am Me!" Finally realized.My enlightenment is not Lu Zhishen's enlightenment, but the heavy building realm of "fetal movement" in alchemy. The little germ that appeared in the "porch" began to grow "in front of my eyes" to sense everything in the world, and finally reached the state of "full description".It's like a person wakes up from a deep sleep and finds that opening his eyes is another state of existence, which is another kind of detachment from the deep sleep.

The alchemy of the four-door twelve-story building is really magical!I remember that the "spiritual pill" in the second door is to cultivate the body and mind that is free in the body. After the golden pill is completed in a vacuum, the body and mind are inseparable, and the spiritual pill disappears.Entering the third door again, a little sprout in the "fetal movement" reappears, which is already a complete and completely new "I".This is similar to the realm of "Lingdan", but the scenery is different, and my practice is more profound.

The mental method of the "fetal movement" realm is divided into four steps: breaking the urn, the entrance, the eyes, and the feet.Among them, the door of the porch is a turning point. It traces back to the origin of the body and mind, and then passes through it. It is a new birth of the body and mind, just like a twin in the mother's body, so it is called "fetal movement".Its realm is indescribable!The so-called pregnancy in October is indeed a false indication. It only took me ten days and ten nights to break through the realm of fetal movement at this moment!But these ten days and ten nights, for many people, I am afraid they have never experienced it in their entire lives.

At this moment, there was a sudden surge under my feet, and I fell into the sea in a daze, completely soaked, and the cold sea water almost swept me away.Immediately after that, my figure flew up and stood on the top of the waves.The east wind is blowing, this is another swell coming from the East China Sea, chasing the waves standing by Yu Wenshu obliquely.At this moment, I stand up straight like Yuwenshu just now, and I go with the tide, floating like a flying fairy.

The tide went away very fast, and I quickly caught up with Yuwenshu, only to find that I was standing far away on the other side of him. Below our feet were two different wave walls, which intersected and stirred up layers of waves in the sea.The waves moved forward, from a few-foot-high surge to a two-foot-high wave crest, one after another, and I kept standing on top of the tide.Going further west, the trumpet-shaped terrain of Hangzhou Bay converges sharply, and the tide is getting higher and higher, reaching more than one person.The left and right tides rushed towards the mouth of the Qiantang River at the same time, the white waves rolled, and the sound of the water gradually became louder and louder like thunder!This is the famous "herringbone tide" at the Qiantang River Estuary.

Standing at the head of the tide and going up against the Qiantang River, you can see the treetop roofs on both sides of the river as far as the eye can see.Yu Wenshu smiled at me and said: "Shi Zhenren, if you go further and you can see people, you and I will really shock the world. Let's go ashore now, Tingtao Villa is not far from the south bank."

……

I thought that Tingtao Mountain Villa was a hidden place for practice in the mountains, but I didn't expect it to be next to a seaside town. It is built near the sea and occupies a large area and is not hidden.We disembarked from a secluded place, walked around the reef beach and walked to a simple road in the countryside. Along this road, we passed through a small town and came to the gate of Tingtao Villa.There is also a bronze medal hanging on the side of the gate of Tingtao Mountain Villa - the advanced individual unit of catering and tourism in NB City.

There are many people coming in and out, and there are many buses and vans parked outside the gate of the villa and in the parking lot in front of the main building, some of which have the names of units or travel agencies written on them.I was wearing a wet suit and had several big cuts on my body. Many people looked at me curiously.There was a security guard standing guard in front of the gate of the villa, but the security guard saw Yu Wenshu leading me in without saying a word.

Listen to what does Taoshanzhuang look like?It can be described as a lot of tourist resorts nowadays, but the concept of tourist resorts was not very popular at that time. This is a sanatorium for seaside vacations.Looking at the terrain, Tingtao Mountain Villa is long and narrow on a small highland by the sea. There are many scattered small buildings and independent villas. Almost every house can see the sea and hear the sound of the waves through the windows.The green leafy courtyard in the villa is elegant and the environment is very good. There are towering ancient trees and newly repaired flower beds. It seems that the old and new eras of construction are different.

I followed Yuwenshu all the way in, and I also had doubts in my heart. Why is Tingtao Villa such a place?The Yuwen tree led me to a quiet courtyard at the end of the villa. The courtyard is a quaint two-story building.Looking at the rockery Taihu Lake stone in the courtyard, and the carved Eight Immortals crossing the sea on the gate, this is obviously a building with a certain age.After walking in, I found that the decoration is fairly new. The light yellow varnish wooden floor and the telephone on the coffee table are all modern things, and the old-fashioned backrest chair is an antique.

Yu Wenshu invited me to sit down in the living room, and some junior disciples came out to set tea bowls and fruit snacks.The owner of the villa did it in a very dignified manner, calling more than a dozen disciples to come to the living room to greet me one by one.I wanted to stand up to return the salute, but Yu Wenshu raised his hand to indicate that I should just sit down.Before I had time to say anything else, Yu Wenshu did another thing——in the name of Tingtao Villa, issued an edict to the world.The content of Jianghu Order is that Immortal Ishino has already slain demons in Nanbeihu Lake, and fellows in the world don't have to worry about it, and don't have to be ready to assist him at all times.Shi Zhenren has great supernatural powers, and he can eliminate demons and protect Taoism. This is what the owner of Tingtao Villa Yuwen saw with his own eyes.Yu Wenshu described to his disciples how he rushed to the top of the eagle's nest, and after giving me a lot of praise, he sent all the disciples away to pass on the order.

When everyone was ordered to disperse, only Yu Wenshu and I had the opportunity to talk privately.I asked: "Villa Master Yuwen, are your disciples practicing in this villa?"

Yu Wenshu: "Does Master Shi feel a little strange? How could the famous Tingtao Villa in the practice world be like this? To tell you the truth, Tingtao Villa is now a tourist resort, and it is also the business of my Yuwen family. "

"You said that opening the villa is a family business?"

Yuwenshu: "It's a long story. Our Yuwen family has been farming and studying here for generations. This villa and the surrounding farms and fields are my family's ancestral property. In modern terms... my family is the big landowner of the manor Decades ago, the land was distributed to the nearby villagers by the land reform, and later it was nationalized from the villagers, and now it is divided into contracts. In short, it is no longer the ancestral property of the Yuwen family. It was damaged, and it was almost abandoned ten years ago. Later, my son and I bought it again and built the current Tingtao Villa, so the scenery you see in the villa, except for this small building, Most of them are different from the traditions of places of practice for thousands of years."

I smiled: "You old man bought back the villa that was passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors. Why don't you rebuild it as it is and open it to the outside world?"

Yu Wenshu: "Times have changed, and children and grandchildren will also change with the times. Besides, if I said I wanted to build a private manor, would the government sell the land back to me? I bought the land and developed it in the name of Tingtao Villa Tourism and Resort Company. The villa is open to the outside world, so I have money to earn, practitioners also have to make a living in the world, and disciples usually have something to do. As for the blessed place of practice, it is actually arranged by Taoshan Villa."

"Master Yuwen, after listening to your words, I think of a person, Mr. Zhang Rongdao from Wucheng."

Yuwenshu: "Mr. Zhang? Actually, we have known each other for a long time. In addition to relying on some things left by our ancestors when we bought this place back then, Mr. Zhang also gave us a lot of financial support from the Yuwen family."

"Since you have always been acquainted with the Zhang family in Wucheng, have you ever dealt with the Mei family, another big family in Wucheng? I heard what you said on the top of the eagle's nest, and you mentioned Fu Yinyu and Mei Cunjing. "

Yu Wenshu took a sip of tea, sighed slightly, and said, "I really don't want to bring up some past events, but I invited Master Shi to come here today to discuss some things."

"If the owner wants to ask me for anything, just tell me."

Yu Wenshu: "Don't always call me the owner, just call me Senior Brother."

"Okay, brother, what are your orders?"

Yu Wenshu: "Little real person, do you know that you will succeed in chasing and killing Fu Yinyu all the way, and your prestige in the practice world will be higher than that of the current world. Soon after the Zhengyi Sanshan Meeting, practitioners from all over the world will gather. Shi Zhenren said Words should carry a lot of weight.”

"In terms of seniority, I'm actually just a junior. How can my prestige be compared with Master Yuwen, let alone with the seniors of Master Shouzheng."

Yu Wenshu: "What you said makes sense, but things shouldn't be looked at this way. Over the years, although the three precepts of practice have been guarded by each sect, everyone has almost forgotten the responsibility of protecting the Tao. To remind everyone that the world is not peaceful, the door rules must be strictly observed, and the dignity of the precepts must still be maintained. The order inside and outside the world of mortals must not be disordered, otherwise disasters will easily arise."

"Senior brother said yes, but I wonder if you have anything to discuss with me?"

Yu Wenshu: "Doesn't the little real person know? At this year's Zhengyi Sanshan meeting, someone will propose to modify the three major precepts in the practice world."

"How to change this?"

Yu Wenshu: "Practicing the first precept, you must not cast spells in the city to shock the world. His opinion is that this one remains unchanged, but the restriction that you must not show supernatural powers to ordinary people is removed. The second precept is not to use Taoism to harm ordinary people for no reason. This one remains unchanged. .Practicing the third precept is not to use supernatural powers for personal gain in the secular world. This is the most controversial. His opinion is to use the power of supernatural powers to obtain desirable wealth."

"It turns out that's the case. I also feel that something is wrong, but I don't think it very clearly for a while. Who would do such a thing, and what is Brother Yuwen's opinion?"

Yu Wenshu: "In fact, some people want to change the precepts. It is not unreasonable. But there are reasons for changing the precepts, and there are reasons for not changing. In the world, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds. You can only have the right to benefit. The rules established after thousands of years of deliberation must have considered all aspects. But the changes in today's era are too chaotic and difficult to understand. People naturally have various ideas. I also understand these situations. Listen to the old man and you in detail ..."

In recent years, many sects of practice have been considered calm, but the demon moths in the world are very noisy.Affected by qigong craze, supernatural power craze, and human body science craze, a large number of gods and masters emerged.Some of these people may have some supernatural powers, and more of them are low-level quacks.They swaggered around, gathered crowds at the opening, or collected money, or were admired by everyone.These people are not real disciples of the practice sect, and the practice community cannot intervene.But it has been going on for a long time, and many practitioners have seen these people earning both fame and fortune, and they also have thoughts in their hearts-rather than letting scammers use supernatural powers to gain fame and fortune in the world, it is better to let real practitioners go out and drive these people out instead.

On the other hand, the social environment is also undergoing great changes, and economic construction has overnight become the primary goal of government in various places. In layman's terms, making money comes first.The sharp disappearance and widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the repeated changes in the value judgment system, have little effect on the worldly masters, but they still have a great impact on ordinary disciples practicing in the world.In fact, this kind of influence has existed since ancient times, but the changes that have taken place in Kyushu in recent decades have been unprecedented in thousands of years.
