Wu Qiudao didn't expect that he couldn't kneel down no matter what condition he was in. He looked up and saw Lu Yan with invisible aura exuding from the palm of his left hand.
Lu Yan raised the gourd with his right hand and took a sip of wine. He released the inner energy of his left hand and blocked Wu Qiudao's knees from bending. He smiled and said, "Hey! Master, I can't afford it. We are all just fellow Taoists on the path to immortality. You
Just call me Senior Brother Lu."
Wu Qiudao raised his head and sighed. He thought Lu Yan was such a genius and could create his own mental method to protect the Tao even before becoming a disciple, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to become a disciple and rely on this great swordsman.
Anyway, he has no respect for any master-disciple inheritance. At worst, he will run away after learning. Can he really serve tea and water to this Versailles who is pretending all day long?
But no matter what, Lu Yan had no choice but to remain silent. All he could say was that it was a pity, a pity!
But if you can buy a Tao-protecting meditation method for free, you will make a lot of money anyway! Wu Qiudao laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed.
"If you can practice the Tao without moving your mind. If you can't rely on your heart, don't seek it from your Qi. You can do it. If you can't rely on your words, don't seek it from your heart. You can't do it. Your ambition is the handsomeness of your Qi. Your Qi is the replenishment of your body. Your ambition is perfect.
Qi comes next. Therefore, it is said: "Keep your ambition and do not expose your Qi"!
"A biased thought reflects on its incompleteness; a radical thought points out the error it has fallen into; a crooked thought knows where it deviates; a thought of escaping pursues it to the end. Although the three corpses and five poisons are hidden, the form is hidden.
, but after all, it comes from your heart and is definitely not found anywhere.”
After Lu Yan finished explaining, he took another sip of wine to relieve his thirst and asked, "Brother Wu, do you understand?"
Wu Qiudao nodded and replied: "Although I understand, understanding does not mean doing it, and doing it for a while does not mean being able to maintain it habitually and subconsciously. I think it is still a bit mysterious."
Lu Yan smiled: "Those who know are not as good as those who practice, and those who practice are not as good as those who are at ease. You are even familiar with this famous saying by Wang Tong of the Sui Dynasty. You must be from a rich family, right? However, since you can understand this
It makes sense, then I’ll feel relieved and let’s give it a try!”
Wu Qiudao nodded and began to sit cross-legged in the way taught by Lu Yan, with his five hearts raised to the sky and his mind empty.
Lu Yan recited: "The four correct principles, focused on meditation, break through the profound entrance and open up the mysteries. Silently recite the formula, and the energy will return to the Dantian."
Wu Qiudao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and a long white mist formed in the air. He just took another breath and began to open his mouth and recite the mantra silently.
Lu Yan coughed a few times. He did not expect that Junior Brother Wu actually succeeded in entering meditation for the first time, and even easily achieved "exhaling like a rainbow". This is a meditation skill that many monks spend several months to achieve.
Wu Qiudao himself didn't know that his speed in entering samadhi surprised Lu Yan so much, but to him, the reason was very simple. With a little help from the "Gujing Jingmen Shuanfa", it couldn't be easier to get into samadhi and meditate.
.
These so-called meditation methods of protecting the Tao are actually very simple to put it bluntly. Even in previous lives, there were people who could do it occasionally without meditating. They just separated their consciousness and used it as distraction.
It's just that the Taoist pollution and inner demon interference in this world are more dangerous. You must rely on the Taoist mind method to be able to suppress evil thoughts while practicing the exercises.
"Just study in the morning behind closed doors, sweep the floor and burn incense until sunset. If loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and kindness are all that matters, you don't need to ask me to be true. To learn Taoism, you have to teach to the bone and have only five or three coins in your pocket. Someone asked me how to practice, and I pointed out from a distance.
The sun and moon in the sky."
However, no matter how Wu Qiudao recited the mantras of "The Method of Cultivating the Mind and Cultivating the Body", he just couldn't achieve both distraction and distraction.
"I will live up to the three teachings and live up to others. I will neither bully Buddhism nor Confucianism. Someone asked me about the practice of cultivation. I only plant my heart to nourish my body. Who in the world can say this? Don't worry about fame and wealth in your heart. I will pour out all the wine in a leisurely manner. When I am happy,
Chant a hundred poems."
Wu Qiudao opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yan, shaking his head: "It still doesn't work!"
Lu Yan thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "I understand! This quatrain was created when I was seeking to unify the three religions, sow my heart, and nourish my body. It is just a self-confession of my heart, and its central mood
Maybe it doesn’t suit you.”
"Ah? What should we do?" Wu Qiudao was dumbfounded.
"It doesn't matter. Since you are a heretic among the people of the time, you must have your own way of conducting yourself in the world. You can refine it into a catchy limerick and use it as a substitute formula." Lu Yan said.
Wu Qiudao is in trouble. In my day, poetry was not a popular way to win scholars! I can’t write even your limericks!
Lu Yan looked at Wu Qiudao who was in a dilemma and kept lowering his demands: "Well, Yuefu is fine too! Can you read long and short sentences?"
“What are long and short sentences?”
Lu Yan then recited the short sentence: "Down and out, I stayed in the countryside at night and traveled to the city. I had nothing to do and played in the green mountains. When I was sleepy, I came to the market to buy pills. I didn't count the money I earned. I drank fine wine and drank it myself. I got drunk.
Then chant oh to move the ghosts and gods, and let the sun set to the west at will."
Isn’t this just lyrics? Oh, lyrics were not popular in the Tang Dynasty. They were called long and short sentences? Hey, I don’t know any Tang poetry, Song poetry, and Yuan music. If you ask me to read popular lyrics, it’s almost enough! Hey, isn’t that the same with poetry in the Tang Dynasty?
The lyrics?
Wu Qiudao suddenly asked: "Can I use lyrics in vernacular?"
Lu Yan sighed: "If you speak the truth, speak the truth, but you must refine your own way of holding the body! So that your state of mind can have a correct fulcrum."
Wu Qiudao was a little hesitant. To be honest, his world outlook, outlook on life, and values are different from those of this era. How can there be a song that can extract them all? Hey, it seems that there is one song that can!
"Arise, you hungry and cold slaves, arise, you suffering people all over the world! The blood in your heart is already boiling. We must fight for the truth!"
Wu Qiudao sang the lyrics of "The Internationale" silently. Slowly, the words of the lyrics no longer needed to be memorized all the time, but came out naturally. His heart illuminated with tranquility, used with gentleness, lifted up when waiting for action, and protected with gentleness.
, determined by double forgetfulness.
"The old world is in ruins! Slaves, get up, get up! Don't say we have nothing, we want to be the masters of the world!"
Lu Yan was a little curious as to what kind of vernacular country slang song this little brother Wu sang, and how he could really practice the "Heart-Growing Method" that he had taught him in the past. If he had time, he would also like to learn from it and learn from it.
This country ballad sung by the brothers.
"This is the final struggle, unite, and by tomorrow, Intrachonal will be realized! This is the final struggle, unite, and by tomorrow, Intrachonal will be realized!"
Wu Qiudao opened his eyes, his eyes full of confidence, and said: "I have already practiced "The Method of Cultivating the Mind and Cultivating the Body," and I can practice the "Immortal Sand Soul-Returning Basket"."
"Okay." Lu Yan raised a finger, "But "Xiansha Soul Resurrection System" requires holding insect eggs to ponder. Little brother, you can't do it overnight. Just use micro eggs that are as thin as a millimeter.
?Then you need some large insect eggs for practice."
"But I have already asked the medicine boys. All the silkworm spider eggs in the warehouse have been used up. If I fly to the Xiling crypt to look for it now, the hooks hidden in the fairy sandworm eggs will definitely take the opportunity to escape. This
It’s a dilemma.”
Wu Qiudao smiled: "No, that's not a problem. I still have a silkworm spider egg here that I can use."
When Wu Qiudao returned to the main hall from the Zen room, he held a silkworm spider egg as big as an ostrich egg in his hand and handed it to Lu Yan, asking: "Is this big enough?"
These silkworm spider eggs were apparently the fertilized fetal eggs given to this scumbag by the embroiderer that day!
