Chapter 6 Dao Meridian Dharma Sect (2) (Please comment!)
Benedict!
The sharp hatchet fell, and a large gap opened in the green bamboo body.
Chen Yu held the knife very steadily, and struck another blow on the side at the same height. The two openings faced each other, and the hollow heart of the bamboo was exposed. He pushed it gently, and after a "thud" sound, the whole bamboo suddenly broke and fell over, with a crash.
The bamboo leaves rustled into pieces and finally fell to the ground.
Take a few steps forward, grab the middle section, lift it up to your eyes, look at it, make gestures, shake your head after a moment, sigh, and put it back on the ground.
Behind him, there were quite a few bamboos lying horizontally, about ten or so, varying in height, short, fat, and thin, but obviously none of them satisfied him.
Rolling up his sleeves, Chen Yu continued to choose.
In fact, his requirements were not really high, but he could not see clearly the part covered by the branches and leaves while standing on the ground, so he selected several lower parts that he liked very much, but in the end, they all had problems in the middle and upper parts, either skewed or too large.
thick.
Fortunately, there are enough bamboos here, so you don't have to worry about finding them.
Cuckoo~
Cuckoo~
The sun gradually reached the top of the clouds, and it was noon. The chirping of birds became louder and louder, with different calls that echoed in the mountains and forests.
Wow!
The grass trembled, and a bare mottled bamboo flew out from it and fell to the ground. Then Chen Yu leaned out and walked out, with fallen leaves still attached to his body. He twirled and picked while looking down.
The bamboo body is green, and the branches where it originally grew were shaved off cleanly. It is not smooth to the touch and has a slight prickly feel like down.
I tried it before and it felt so-so, but there are still a few more steps to go, so I think it won't be too bad when the finished product comes out.
Catching a small fish in the mountains should not be a big problem.
Qingtai Mountain is surrounded by rivers on three sides, but Yunhe Temple is located closer to the west, that is, towards the Baiqi Mountains. It has many mountains and hills and few rivers and lakes.
In the mountains, there is no shortage of cold springs and many gurgling mountain streams. However, big fish cannot be raised in such places. The pool that Chen Yu originally wanted to go to is located in a dense forest, surrounded by several large rocks. It is a natural place.
Deep pool.
A person claims to have something big, but in reality he has no clear idea of what is going on.
When it comes to fishing, the key is catching, not the fish.
Coming back to the present moment, after cutting the green bamboo, Chen Yu did not return directly to the Taoist temple. Instead, he carried the bamboo down the hillside, placed it at the intersection, then tightened the basket on his shoulders, turned around and walked onto another road.
The purpose of coming out this morning was not just as simple as cutting down a piece of bamboo.
As he trudged along the trail, the rocks on both sides were towering and unruly. The hatchet in his hand sometimes slashed vertically and diagonally, cutting off the thorns and thorns blocking the way.
The shrubs and haystacks in this mountain grow really fast. It was only half a month since I last came here, and the same road was already broken a lot. In just ten days, it has become extremely lush again.
Chenyu went up and followed this trail that was trodden on at an unknown time and went straight into the depths of Qingtai Mountain.
Soon, the blue rocks gradually disappeared, and the terrain became gentle. After another two moments, hills with ancient trees fell into his eyes.
Greenery.
But this time he did not go straight into the forest, but walked along the edge. As he walked forward, he recalled, and soon he came to a depression.
Ahead, a deep pit is half-hidden under the lawn. The loess is dug out of the ground, and broken roots of plants and trees can be seen.
After walking a few more steps and looking down, you will see a steep cliff, seven to eight feet high, with a piece of dead wood lying on its back on the rock at the bottom.
Only half of the wood left was covered with moss and green grass, and the bark was cracked. There seemed to be a dark hole leaning against the stone wall, as if some animal had dug it and made a home.
Chen Yu only glanced at it and then looked away. He came to the edge of the cliff and was half a step away from the pit. He did not dare to get closer to avoid accidentally stepping on the air and falling.
The soil here is not tight, otherwise it would not have collapsed during the heavy rain last month, and this big tree fell down along with it.
Leave a big hole.
He bent down and searched along the mountain wall. After a while, he seemed to have found something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw a group of sawtooth-like ferns clinging to a stone crevice somewhere.
The most eye-catching thing is the orange fruit wrapped in grass leaves.
"It's really ripe."
Chen Yu's sharp eyes saw the light red spots on the fruit.
So without any delay, he lay down on the ground and reached out to touch it. He grabbed the grass body with his big hand and pulled out the leaves and roots together with a little force.
After getting up, I took it and looked through it carefully, only to find that there was more than one fruit inside, only a few orange ones, and most of the others were either green or rotten.
However, Chen Yu was quite satisfied. He happened to see this Orange Silver Grass when he went up the mountain a month and a half ago. At that time, he saw that the fruit was still small, so he waited for more than a month. Today he thought of stopping by to take a look, and sure enough it was already ripe.
I turned over the leaves of grass and counted them carefully. There were four orange and silver berries in total. According to the recipe in my memory, one box of Baiyun Powder should be enough. If I have enough ingredients, I might be able to get an extra box.
.
Baiyun Powder was a prescription he found when he was sorting out the memories of his predecessor. It is not a famous elixir. After all, Yunhe Temple has always adhered to the principle of Jingming. He is a member of the Jingming Dharma School and does not have the inheritance of the Danding Dharma School.
Among the four great sects of Danding, Hesha, Shanfu, and Jingming, only the Danding sect specializes in lead and mercury, and other sects rarely get involved.
It's just that the Danding method is not very popular among the Taoist groups in Daliang. Zhengyangguan, who is regarded as the leader, takes the path of combining the evil method and practicing the Jingming method. Only Zhenwu Mountain has opened one in recent decades.
Pulse, called Lingdan Peak, specializes in the Danding method, but the other mainstream method is still the Hesha method.
Due to the prosperity of Taoism, there are different sects in various places.
Systematically speaking, Taoism in this world can be distinguished and distinguished according to the following three categories.
First, based on the Taoist theory, that is, the Zhengyang Guan mentioned before, Zhenwu Mountain and others are the most prominent sects in the world.
Secondly, in terms of academic theory, there are four great traditions: Zhenyi Dao, Qingwei Dao, Qianyang Dao, and Taiping Dao. Although Zhengyangguan and Zhenwushan are the same practitioners, they each adhere to different academic principles.
The third one is called Dharma School based on the theory of cultivation. Specifically, it is the four mentioned above. Taoist sects not only focus on cultivating the mind but also pursue freedom, carefreeness and nourishing Qi for longevity. However, as far as he knows, there is no one so far.
Really practice something. Those few who claim to have achieved great success in practice or even ascended in the daytime, it is really not sure whether they are trying to please others or because they are stupid and have hallucinations.
Nowadays, most of the realms of Dharma cultivation are just the fantasies of Taoist priests, stuck in books and theories.
At least Chen Yu had read the "Hua Jing Ten Lives Record" which specifically talks about the practice of Jingming Dharma. He talked about it in detail. Once he got to the specific level, he was either evasive or vague, and only gave a general description.
This level should be like this, and then it can be like this. Well, the rest is up to fellow Taoists to understand.
It can be called a brainstorming contest.
But having said that, no matter how illusory and unrealistic the ideas of these Taoist masters are, at least the ideas they are based on have not changed. In terms of meditation, enlightenment and education as the foundation of human beings, what they wrote is still worthy of praise.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu likes to read Taoist scriptures.
It's both funny and philosophical, who wouldn't love it.
…
Put the orange silver grass into the waist bag that is worn closely - as for the backpack, it is used to hold other things.
After packing up, Chen Yu bowed into the lush woods on the side.
After not taking two steps, I saw a chicken fir with a gray top and a snow-white interior hiding in a corner of the tree root like an umbrella.
He smiled brightly and said, "Good guy, we opened the store right after we arrived."
Sorry (__), I forgot to set the time. I didn’t realize it until after dinner.
