Chapter 22 A Scroll of the Earth, Mountains and Rivers
Chu Chen already had the method of practicing the spell [Blowing Hair to Become a Tiger], but he had not mastered it yet.
First of all, it is very difficult to draw the [Tiger Transformation Talisman]. It is difficult for him to draw the talisman at an entry-level level.
Secondly, the [Tiger Transformation Talisman] requires a series of rituals and altar sacrifices to turn it into a spiritual talisman. At his level, it would take at least a month of sacrifice.
But now, after the [Blowing Hair into Tiger] spell appears in the Heart Temple, he can easily master this spell and learn the essence of [Tiger Transformation Talisman].
The most important thing is that by using the Heart Temple to refine the [Tiger Transformation Talisman], it can turn into a spiritual talisman in the blink of an eye, which can save a lot of effort.
This made Chu Chen feel very comfortable.
A spell can only be truly mastered if you have mastered all aspects of it, including drawing the talisman, refining the talisman, conjuring, and walking.
You no longer have to worry about wasting the magic talisman, searching for it, hoping to save it for the critical moment.
Just like the [Clouds on the soles of the feet] spell.
This is a good spell, but it is a pity that Chu Chen has not fully mastered it so far and can only rely on his master for help, so it is not that enjoyable to use.
"There is always something to gain from handling this case."
Lying in the spacious and bright prison cell of the Ghosts and Gods Department, Chu Chen seemed quite calm. He even held the Taoist scriptures and recited them with great interest.
The Taoist scripture is called "Tai Shang Lao Jun Speaks of Chang Qing Jing Jing".
There is a volume of Sutra on the Great Earth, Mountains and Rivers, and the title is very clear.
The flowers and weeds in the mountains are all chatting, and they are moving and listening attentively.
It is said to be the "Qing Jing Sutra".
This sutra is a Taoist classic, containing the most important principles of the Taoism. It is one of the Taoist scriptures that Taoist Taoists must learn.
The brother who is guarding the cell is extremely polite and will satisfy all your requests and bring you everything you want. Except for the restriction of personal freedom, the three of them are quite comfortable.
"The old man said: The great road is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and the earth; the great road is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon; the great road is nameless, nourishing all things; I don't know its name, so I just call it the Tao. The Tao of my husband: there is purity and turbidity, there is movement and there is stillness; heaven
The earth is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still. The male is pure and the female is turbid, the male is moving and the female is still. The original flow is reduced to the end, and all things are born..."
Huang Fugui and Zhang Xiucai listened to Chu Chen reciting the "Qing Jing Sutra".
The two of them were a little irritable the first time, but when they listened to the second and third time, their mood gradually calmed down.
The sound of reciting Taoist scriptures seems to have a magical power in the dark, and the rhythm of Taoism lingers in the ears. Unconsciously, people's worries are gone, and their hearts are as calm as water, pure and dust-free.
"Brother Chu is indeed a master disciple of the Taoist sect. His state of mind and cultivation are far inferior to those of me."
Zhang Xiucai slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and raised his hands to Chu Chen.
These words are definitely spoken from the bottom of my heart.
Although he was in such big trouble, he could still recite the "Qing Jing Sutra" without any distractions, which perfectly fit the true meaning of "quiet and inactive". He was ashamed of his efforts in cultivating Qi.
Huang Fugui also touched his head and said:
"Brother Chu, it's really nice to hear you chanting sutras, and it makes me feel restless, but are you really not worried?"
Chu Chen put down the Taoist Scripture first, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:
"There is nothing to worry about. There is a wrongdoer and a debtor. The county god can find the dead soul of Deng Tiejian and the truth will be revealed. If the dead soul of Deng Tiejian enters the Netherworld Central Underworld, we will not be able to wash away the charge of manslaughter of officials. No matter where it ends,
We can’t take the lead, so why bother thinking about it.”
"Oh, it's true, there's no point in thinking about it."
Zhang Xiucai and Huang Fugui nodded, secretly praying for good luck.
After the death of human beings, most of the dead souls are hooked into the central underworld of the underworld, and then reincarnated, and will not stay in the human world for a long time.
The souls of the dead left behind in the world are called "ghosts" and are governed by the local gods and gods.
Generally speaking, practitioners who have great resentment and evil spirits are likely to turn into wandering spirits and wander around the world.
Deng Tiejian restrained the evil spirit of the dragon and tiger, and had martial arts cultivation. After his death, there is a very high chance that his soul will remain in the world and become a ghost.
As long as the County God's Mansion seeks out the soul of Deng Tiejian and makes some inquiries, the matter will come to light.
The three of them stayed in the cell waiting for news, waiting for news about Deng Tiejian's deceased soul.
After a conversation, the three fell into silence.
Chu Chen smiled and picked up the Taoist Scripture on the desk.
After entering the Taoist sect, he fell in love with reciting Taoist scriptures.
Every time he recited it, his mind calmed down, his worries disappeared, and his whole person wandered in a wonderful state. He often had insights and clear thoughts.
"The great road is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth"
"The road is ruthless, running the sun and the moon"
"The great road has no name, it nourishes all things..."
...
In the cell, Chu Chen's chanting voice was neither urgent nor slow, neither high nor low, like clear spring water, sweet and ethereal, with lingering sounds lingering around the ears.
The restless Zhang Xiucai and Huang Fugui were immersed in it and gradually calmed down.
Brother Fugui fell asleep soundly and peacefully. It was really peaceful and quiet, and his worries were gone.
Even the cell guards guarding the cells were immersed in the Taoist scriptures, and their tempers were actually better than before.
Until...the arrival of a group of people broke the purity of the cell.
"Young man, I've met the county magistrate, you all are in charge."
The two cell guards saluted respectfully, with sincerity and fear.
"No need to be polite!"
Surprisingly, they were Magistrate Xu, Taoist Master Xu Ping, Zen Master Liaokong, and Huang Mei.
"The true and everlasting way is found by those who understand it."
"Those who have gained enlightenment are always peaceful and quiet."
...
The four of them were all highly cultivated people, and they had heard the chanting outside the cell.
"Brother Xu, your disciple has a really good character. After getting into such a big trouble, he can still chant sutras without any distractions and fall into tranquility. With such skill, let alone a young man who has just entered Taoism, even at your age and mine, can
It is very rare to achieve this step.”
Magistrate Xu was very moved and praised him repeatedly.
Huang Mei also had a good impression of Chu Chen, who was very responsible and courageous: "The young man is indeed good. Xu Duguan has taken on a good apprentice."
Taoist Xu Ping listened to Magistrate Xu, Huang Mei and others praising his apprentice. Although his expression did not change much, he was quite happy in his heart.
Firstly, he gained face in front of his colleagues, and secondly, he was very pleased with his apprentice's performance.
Just as County Magistrate Xu and Deputy Governor Huang Mei said, when faced with big troubles such as "accidental killing of court officials", they can still calm down and recite the "Qing Jing Sutra" and fall into tranquility. This performance is of great benefit to Taoist practitioners.
It is extremely valuable.
Sometimes, it is more important than the root and bone qualifications, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the "wisdom root".
Zen Master Liaokong turned the beads in his hand:
"Amitabha! From the sound of chanting sutras, the poor Taoist felt a little bit of the artistic conception of peace and quietness. He is indeed a good seedling, and he is destined to be my Buddha..."
"Ahem~"
Taoist Xu Ping coughed repeatedly.
Good guy, everything is related to Buddha, how easy is it for me to find a disciple?
Not to mention such an enlightened disciple.
"Everyone, let's go in first."
Taoist Master Xu Ping quickly changed the topic and interrupted Zen Master Kong.
County Magistrate Xu, Huang Mei laughed:
"Go in, these guys are probably impatient. Let's clear their names as soon as possible."
