The next morning, at around five o'clock, Master woke me up and told me that he would take me to practice Qigong. I originally wanted to practice Qigong after peeing. But Master said that I couldn't pee and had to soak it in water.
Urine turns into sweat and is excreted.
What else can I say, as a Maoshan disciple, you must first have a strong body.
Only when the body is strong can the spirit be full and the righteousness in the body is sufficient, only then can ghosts, gods, and demons be frightened. Otherwise, no matter how long you practice Taoism, it will be in vain. It will be difficult to achieve great achievements in the end.
Master took me and sneaked out of the house, which caused a lot of barking of dogs.
I don’t know if it was intentional by the old man, or if the dogs in that place recognize people. Every time I passed a house, a dog would run out, and then chase me and bite me.
But the strange thing is that the dogs didn't do anything when they saw him. The most hateful thing is that one of the dogs chased me for more than a mile. I stopped and attacked Na Shengsheng, but he turned around and ran away.
But as soon as I turned around, I caught up with him again. And he did it quietly and quietly.
Scared me to death!
Later I got angry, picked up a brick and shouted at the dog: "Come on! If you come again, I will chop you with a brick, skin you at night and eat dog meat."
I thought that with such a roar, the dog would not dare to come. Who knows, as soon as I finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound, and suddenly another big black dog came out of the corner.
Early in the morning, before I could see clearly, the big black dog roared and rushed towards me.
"Hey, hey, hey..." I was confused. I looked forward and saw more than one dog. It turned out that there were seven or eight vicious dogs rushing over.
"Don't come here!"
In panic, I threw the brick in my hand at the big black dog that was rushing toward me.
I was really unlucky that day. The brick flew past the big black dog's ear and rolled into the grass.
Not only did the big black dog not stop, but it became even more ferocious, leaping up and jumping on top of me.
At that time, I was done thinking, no matter what happens today, I will see blood.
At this critical moment, I saw the master coming.
He rushed over and slapped the dog in the face.
The creature jumped down with a "oooo", rolled on the ground, got up again, looked at the master with his tail between his legs, and ran away in despair.
The dogs behind it also stopped, looked at it, barked twice, then stopped barking, turned around and ran away with the big black dog.
"Boy, remember! As a Taoist, you can't use violence to control animals. You have to have your own method. Come on, I'll teach you a hand seal. This hand seal is called the 'Retreat Dog Order'. Tap your thumb with your middle finger, and your index finger with
The nameless handprint is flat and the little finger is raised. When the dog sees this handprint, it will consciously retreat and stop biting."
"Is there such a thing?" I said.
Master saw that I looked a little unconvinced, so he smiled and explained: "Don't believe it, this is the valuable experience left by the former Maoshan Master when he traveled around the world. It's just dog talk! However, this handprint, ordinary people can't believe it.
It may not be effective if used. If you want the mudra to be effective, you must first not eat dog meat for three years, and you must have the blessing of the ancestor. In our practice, there are three kinds of meat that we cannot eat, dog meat, snake meat and beef.
"
"Why can't we eat these three kinds of meat? Is there any explanation in this?" I asked.
The master thought for a while and smiled and said: "Whether you are practicing Taoism or Buddhism, what you cultivate is nothing more than compassion and forbearance. So strictly speaking, practitioners should not eat the flesh of living beings. When a person's compassion
The stronger it is, the more powerful the mantra will be. In other words, the person who has better moral practice will have greater power when reciting the mantra."
"For example, the Great Compassion Mantra in Buddhism advocates compassion, so that the mantra recited will be powerful. Therefore, people who have been vegetarians for a long time will have better effects when reciting the mantra than those who eat meat. Of course, what Master has inherited is
Maoshan magicians are also folk cultivators. They often have to follow the local customs and may not strictly observe the precepts."
"The ancestor told us that there are three kinds of meat that we should not eat, namely dog meat, snake meat and beef. We don't eat dog meat because dogs are spiritual, and eating dog meat can easily cause anger. We don't eat snake meat because snakes are very resentful and vindictive.
It is extremely strong. Eating snake meat will inevitably cause enmity with all living beings, which is not conducive to spiritual practice. The reason why I don’t eat beef is because when I rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, the green ox was my mount. We as Taoists have many spells to obtain from the Supreme Lord.
The blessing is powerful, so naturally you can’t eat beef.”
After listening to Master's words, I couldn't help but feel more respect for him. I didn't expect that this middle-aged man who looked like an old farmer would always talk about one thing after another.
Master took me jogging all the way. After running for a while, I realized that this was what he meant by Qigong practice.
He told me that what he taught me was the Shaoyang Strengthening Kung Fu, which can cultivate the Shaoyang Qi in the body. People who practice this kind of Kung Fu must have the body of a boy to be able to practice the Kung Fu to the extreme.
He also said that only when a person has sufficient energy and energy can the talisman he draws have great power.
I finally understand now. No wonder the master is almost fifty years old and is still an old man. It turns out that it is to practice Shaoyang's physical strength to the extreme, and at the same time to enhance the power of drawing talismans!
It seems that practicing Taoism is really a hard job. No wonder this thing is declining and fewer and fewer people are learning it.
At first, I didn't quite believe what Master said.
However, after he took me jogging for a few kilometers, as the urine in my body was refined, I felt a lot stronger and my energy was very good. Not only did I not feel tired, I even felt very refreshed.
.
After returning home, Master had to do some ordinary farm work as usual. He told me that people in his village had no idea that he knew Maoshan Dharma. Many people even looked down on him and regarded him as a different person.
.
When the master said this, a wry smile appeared on his face.
I don’t know if he will regret it. After all, he spent all his life on Xia Maoshan Dharma. He didn’t even have time to talk about a romantic love.
There may have been romance between him and Mrs. Chen, but in the end, the sparks of love still did not come out. From the bitter tears shed by the two of them yesterday, it can be seen that there was some regret in their hearts.
Thinking of this, I feel a little sad. After all, what I am learning now is the Xia Maoshan method of extinguishing children and grandchildren. If others knew about it, which woman would want me! Yuan Xin would definitely not agree.
It’s okay if you don’t want to do this!
After having breakfast with Master, we went up the mountain to collect firewood together. Master told me some taboos about the mountains. For example, if you go up the mountain to chop wood and see an oncoming snake, you have to go back. You can't go to this mountain. I went.
Something is bound to happen because the enemy snake is coming.
Also, don’t pick up carp on the mountain. If you pick it up, someone will drown in the village within three days if you go home. Because there is no way there will be carp on the mountain. If there are, it means it is haunted and the ghosts are coming to claim their souls.
Master also told some stories from other schools.
He said that when you enter the mountain, the Taoism of Meishan is the most powerful. When you go down the mountain, the Taoism of Maoshan is the most powerful. The two factions usually do not fight with each other, but once they start fighting, it will really kill people.
The masters of the Meishan sect will release rampant soldiers, and the Taoist priests of the Maoshan sect will release evil spirits. Anyone who accidentally bumps into him will be sick for three days even if he is not dead. Therefore, there is a saying in the countryside that you should not get up too early.
In fact, they are afraid of the rampant soldiers and evil spirits released when the two factions are fighting.
I didn't come back until noon, when Mrs. Chen also came over with Lian Xiaoru.
I asked Lian Xiaoru what she had gained. Lian Xiaoru smiled and told me that her master's house was much more beautiful than mine, and she lived in a clean three-story bungalow, which was the most beautiful house in the local village.
Because her master can see things through psychics, which is what we call the goddess in the countryside. However, everyone only knows that Chen Po can see things, but no one knows that she and Uncle Yu have learned Zhongmaoshan magic and can raise ghosts.
Mrs. Chen came here specially to Zhang Qiaosheng to discuss how to deal with the matter of me committing the crime of killing the master.
They said that they could not leave Xingguo until their master, Uncle Yu, was buried. Although they would not attend his funeral, they still had to go secretly to see him off that night.
We had no choice but to stay in Xingguo for another three days. Uncle Yu was buried three days later. Since they were neither relatives nor close friends, Zhang Qiaosheng and Mrs. Chen did not attend Uncle Yu's funeral.
It was only at midnight that Zhang Qiaosheng took Mrs. Chen and I to Uncle Yu's grave, secretly burned some paper money, and they cried at the grave for a long time before leaving.
Of course, I was sad for a while. Although I knew that Uncle Yu had gone to the underworld to work as a ghost, I couldn't help but feel a little sad when I thought about the separation between yin and yang.
After Uncle Yu was buried.
The next day, Mrs. Chen and the rest of us boarded the train heading north.
An hour before boarding the train, I called Uncle Yuan to report the good news, telling him that the matter had been settled, that Zhang Qiaosheng had been found, and that he had agreed to come out to help solve the problem for us.
Uncle Yuan was extremely excited when he heard the good news.
He laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "Great, you came back at the right time. We just received a big business. The director of the People's Hospital is willing to pay 20,000 yuan to let me help him set up the hospital.
There are some weird things going on here. Come back quickly! I’m in need of an assistant!”
I knew that Uncle Yuan was definitely trying to deceive people again. Usually when looking at Feng Shui, he would bring an assistant with him, and that assistant was naturally me.
In the past, I thought Uncle Yuan was very powerful in this field.
But after I got to know Zhang Qiaosheng, I realized that what Uncle Yuan did was just a trick. In most cases, it can only give people a psychological comfort, but it cannot solve the real problem.
However, this old guy's physiognomy and fortune-telling skills are still worthy of respect. In comparison, he seems to be a little better than Lian Yuyu.
I was thinking this in my mind, and suddenly the figure of Zou Li flashed through my mind.
Uncle Yuan said to go to the People's Hospital. Isn't that the place where Yuan Xin works? The bodies of Zou Li and the girls who asked me to push the cart on the way were parked in the morgue of that hospital!
I don’t know, have these corpses been disposed of now?
Did something happen again?
I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart, and I just wished I could go back as soon as possible.
