Jiang Tenghe shook his head and said: "What secular affairs? As the saying goes, the way of immortality is inseparable from the way of humanity. It is clearly stated in the chapter of induction. It is to show mercy to others when they are in trouble, to rejoice in others' good deeds, to help people in urgent need, and to save people in danger. Don't do any evil. Practicing all good deeds. You have also read Xiang'er's commentary. What does it say? One hundred good deeds should be practiced..."
When Zhao Ran was in the Wujiyuan Sutra Hall, he had worked hard on the Taoist classics. At this time, he immediately responded: "... Wan Shan is in front of..."
"Yes, in our practice, there are thousands of paths to enlightenment, and everyone takes a different path. Baopuzi also said that if a person wants to be an immortal on earth, he should do three hundred good deeds, and if he wants to be an immortal in heaven, he should do a thousand and two Hundreds of good deeds. Therefore, on the day I became my teacher, I thought of accepting you as my disciple. While helping you to attain enlightenment, I could also reflect on myself. You have done all the great good deeds I just mentioned, and I have done the same. I know that this has cost you a lot of time and energy, but not only has your cultivation progress not been delayed, it has actually surpassed ordinary people. This shows that the path you are taking should be the right one for you."
"Thank you very much for your advice, teacher. I will keep it in my mind and practice seriously so as not to embarrass my teacher or bring shame to Lou Guan. By the way, teacher, I have an opportunity to go to Xia Kingdom this time. I hope you can help me."
If a monk talks about any chance, it is usually not a trivial matter. It is either an opportunity to break through a situation, or a fate that is of great help to the path of spiritual practice.
Jiang Tenghe also became a little more serious and asked: "What opportunity?"
Zhao Ran then told the story about Jialan Temple, and finally said: "That day Dongfang Li asked his disciples to go to Xia Kingdom. In addition to setting up a business inn, what they wanted most was to obtain this skill. There was no clue about this matter, and the disciple thought There was no hope at all, so I didn’t explore it. Who would have thought that by chance, selling snow lotus would bring Jialan Temple in, and finally I got this skill. Dongfang Li said that this skill has a great effect on our Taoism’s bone setting. It can greatly improve the success rate of bone setting.”
After saying that, he took out the "Zhuan Sutra of Life and Life" that he had memorized silently, and presented it to Jiang Tenghe.
The scripture was not long, so Jiang Tenghe took it and quickly read through it. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "It is indeed useful, especially for a semi-marginal body like you with abnormal bones. The chance of bone correction is extremely high."
Zhao Ran has long been familiar with this scripture, and has pondered it many times in secret. This technique has two greatest functions. One is that it has a strong bone-setting effect on those who are qualified and have half-edge bodies without bones. Another point is that for monks who have excellent qualifications but are unable to improve their cultivation due to injuries, it is also an option to switch to other techniques.
Of course, this method is not ineffective for ordinary people who have neither qualifications nor foundation. There is a certain chance that they can develop the foundation that meets the requirements of practice. It is just limited to my lack of qualifications. The chance of bone correction is much lower than that of a half-married body, and also because of limited qualifications, even if the bone is corrected, the future cultivation prospects will not be very high.
For a Taoist sect, refining bone-setting elixirs and holding sect-raising altars consume a lot of resources. Cultivating a monk to practice requires a lot of resources. With such a large investment, it can only cultivate a person with no future. For high-ranking monks, almost no sect would be willing to do this kind of loss-making business without special reasons.
Zhao Ran's long-term problem is that his bones are not straight. Thanks to Lu Suo's contribution, his qualifications are actually very good. He has good ears and eyesight, and his eyes are opened, which is definitely a good qualification. But the irregularity of his bones will make him suffer. After suffering a lot, he was promoted to the Dharma Altar twice, but his bones were only corrected to 30% of those of a normal monk. The resulting lack of essence and blood almost made him stay in the Taoist realm for ten or twenty years, and he continued to take various tonics. ——Including the essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle, it allowed him to cross the threshold of the Taoist Realm.
It can be said that he has the Empty Merit Sutra in his body, which is a practice that progresses very quickly, but it has been repeatedly hindered by poor root and bone problems. The root and bone problem has become a drag on his cultivation path.
And even if you take the essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle, it can only help Zhao Ran pass the level of refining. When it comes to the next step of Qi transformation, that is, when the essence is refined into the elixir, the root and bone problems will be exposed again, and continue
Pull down his spiritual practice progress.
Therefore, the final solution is to go back to bone setting and complete bone setting. This is the solution once and for all.
Zhao Ran said that this was his opportunity, and he was right. It was definitely a great opportunity.
Jiang Tenghe thought for a while and then said: "Although this is from Buddhism, it should be an ancient method from Taoism. It is not difficult to practice. I will think about it for a few days and convert this method. What are you doing?
Heaven is waiting in the mountains, and I will ask people to prepare the materials for opening the altar..."
Just when he said this, he saw Zhao Ran pouring out a lot of elixirs, gold and stones from his finger, and said: "Teacher, these are some of the materials I prepared, but they account for most of them. Some of them are
I can’t get the supplies together, so I have to rely on the teacher.”
Zhao Ran had had his bones set twice before, and had been to the Dharma Altar twice, once at Ye Xueguan and once at Qingyun Pavilion. The way to set bones was already clear. He had already started collecting materials when he was in the Xia Kingdom.
, and now I have almost bought back nearly 70% of it.
Jiang Tenghe glanced at the pile on the ground and couldn't help but laugh: "You are really in a hurry, but it can save a lot of time." He swept his sleeves and rolled up various materials into them.
He then asked Zhao Ran: "This technique is very useful for Taoist sects. If Yuhuang Pavilion or Sanqing Pavilion needs it, we can send it to them without hesitation. There is no need to hide it."
Zhao Ran said: "Disciple understands that Dongfang Li is in seclusion and the disciple cannot be contacted. He also specifically told me that we need to contact him through a single line, so we can only wait for him to come out of seclusion."
Jiang Tenghe said with emotion: "This Dongfang Li is also an outstanding person. He is plotting and scheming all day long. I feel bad for him, but I never thought that he would break through. As expected, everyone has his own destiny, and there are many ways to do it.
, each looking for one!”
After negotiating with his teacher Jiang Tenghe about the third bone setting, Zhao Ran felt relaxed and left the cave in Huayun Mountain and left the back mountain. Before leaving, he asked Gao Yuqian to ask him to help interrogate Elder Xiahou and Elder Yan.
Hello you two.
Where does Zhao Ran want to go most now? You don’t have to ask, you know, of course it’s Qingqing Valley! A month has passed since he said goodbye to Zhou Yumo at Qukong Temple, and Zhao Ran feels very fond of this beauty.
It's missing.
But Zhao Ran is not a pure bastard. Although it is true that he likes Zhou Yumo, he does not want him to take it seriously because of himself. If this is the case, then he is not a human being. So in the end, he is also very
Hesitant, I have racked my brains many times in the past month and thought about it, but it is difficult to find a way to get the best of both worlds.
