Chapter 108 It is about Taoism, revealing two secrets
Wei Xingde was so excited after hearing the good news that he offered one tael of silver and three hundred and thirty-three incense money. Three of his family of four went back, leaving the dark boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, saying that it was for him.
The old cripple worked as a helper for a few days, thanking the mountain for taking care of him.
It was a matter of life and death. No matter how much Wei Xingde believed in the viewer's words, he still kept a close eye on it.
He was worried that the evil spirits had not been completely killed. Even if they suffered disaster when they returned, they would still have a single seedling to keep the fragrance alive.
Zhang Wenfeng understands the meaning, and he has always been very tolerant of trivial matters.
I heard from Yue Anyan that in the morning, at the request of Wei Xingde, the young man named Wei Jingjie was tested, and it was found that he had rare aptitude for popularity.
Then, it is okay to take the young man in for a few days and examine his character at a nearby location.
After washing himself, he put on a new Taoist robe, and applied the Taoist secret Taoist ointment on his left shoulder. Zhang Wenfeng had a sword hanging on his left waist, a black cloth bag tied on his right waist, and a gourd in his hand. He came to the west hall feeling refreshed.
Second Senior Brother and Yue Anyan have already boiled water and are enjoying tea leisurely.
"Well, Master, are you injured?"
Smelling the smell of the plaster, Yue Anyan put down the tea cup and asked.
"It's okay, just a little injury."
Zhang Wenfeng waved his hand to indicate that nothing happened, sat down, drank a cup of tea, and roughly told the two of them the ups and downs and bizarre dangers he encountered during this outing, concealing some inconvenient matters such as the deal with the remnant soul of the former mountain god.
Sharing the adventures with them is a way of talking, adding to the experience of the two monks who will travel around the world in the future.
Yue Anyan glanced at the viewer and said with a smile, "I'll go out with you next time."
She regretted missing another wonderful event.
Zhang Wenfeng laughed at himself and shook his head: "You might as well say that I am possessed by a broom star, and I will get into trouble wherever I go."
"I didn't say that."
Yue Anyan denied it with a pursed lips and a smile.
The second senior brother laughed and said: "Take me with you. One hero has three gangs, one fence has three stakes. If anything happens, we can take care of it."
It acquiesces to the fact that the viewer is likely to get into trouble when he goes out.
Zhang Wenfeng did not argue with them and said: "Let's go to the city together tomorrow. You will go through an assessment process and get your status as an individual. It will be much easier to go out in the future. Our territory in front and behind the Taoist temple will also continue to expand."
He stood up and said, "Let's go, there are some things I should let you know."
He walked out of the door first. The second senior brother and Yue Anyan looked at each other and wondered what kind of medicine the temple master was selling in the gourd. They followed him out. Yue Anyan, who was walking behind, closed the door of the west hall and left it ajar.
The three of them went down the mountain from the back mountain trail and made a circle to the vicinity of Lingquan Pool.
A donkey and a badger cub were playing in the forest. When they saw three people approaching, they put the badger cub on their backs and came closer.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said: "Senior sister, what do you feel is different about this place?"
Yue Anyan sniffed the air that was different from other places. Her cultivation had stabilized and she could detect some clues. She carefully discerned for a while: "The spiritual energy... is more abundant than the top of the mountain. The grass and trees here are full of vitality and the leaves are green..."
She glanced around and compared, and finally settled on the water pool. She felt the source of abundant spiritual energy.
The second senior brother has just made a breakthrough and is not sensitive to spiritual energy. He can only see that the trees and grass here are very different from those a little further away.
Zhang Wenfeng touched the top door of the donkey to solve the puzzle, pointed at the pool and said with a smile: "There is a spiritual spring hidden under this pool of water. I usually use spiritual spring water to make tea. Is it the tea I brew every time?
Doesn’t it taste very different from the tea you boiled and brewed yourself?”
Yue Anyan smiled and said: "No wonder, I also told the second senior brother that the master's technique is different, so that's what happened."
He walked forward, squatted down on his side, washed his hands with the cool stream water, and then took a handful of the pool water to drink.
The second senior brother also stepped forward to drink a few handfuls of water. He stood up a little excited and a little worried, and said: "This is a treasure land, a treasure land that can be passed down. We have to find a way to cover up the spiritual spring so that outsiders cannot know about it. After a while,
, when the children are recruited to live in the front yard, those skinny monkeys will not be able to stay idle and will run all over the mountain..."
He is a worried person who calls Taoist temples his home and looks around.
"We have to surround this place. It's best to build a bamboo building over the pool. You don't have to worry about it. I know some bamboo craftsmanship. I will do this myself. I can't let people from Zhuangzi do it. Well, I think
How do you want to plan?”
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and nodded. The second senior brother agreed with his idea and said, "Okay, you can build a simpler bamboo shed."
"If you can't build a bamboo shed, build a bamboo building."
The second senior brother insisted. He jumped on the big rock and began to think about what to do.
Yue Anyan finally understood why the temple master had to let her learn the most difficult formation first. Building a bamboo tower above the spiritual spring could only hide it from others. If she wanted to completely prevent outsiders, especially monks, from knowing, the only way to do it was to arrange the formation.
Dharma, Tao:
"I spend more time studying formation books these days, and try to cover this place with simple formations when the bamboo building is built."
She said this with no confidence in her heart, and she had no choice but to put more burden on herself.
Zhang Wenfeng revealed the secret that had been in his mind for a long time to the two of them, so that both of them had something to do. He then smiled and said: "Second Senior Brother, come down first and I will introduce you to a new comrade."
"Oh. Isn't it appropriate to introduce it here?"
The second senior brother jumped to the stream and looked around to remind the viewer.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and patted the donkey's back and said, "This is Lu Zijin, the first Taoist monk in our Taoist temple. He awakened spiritually and became a spiritual beast more than four years ago."
The black donkey was very satisfied with the first title given to it by the temple owner, and the title of spiritual beast, which was much more pleasant to the ears than being called "monster beast". The temple owner was a cultured person, and his words were different and had a level of proficiency.
It was full of pride and raised its head to meet the surprised looks of the two people.
"...It's a demon?"
"No, it is a real spiritual beast. It can understand human speech and communicate with me through mental fluctuations. Lu Zijin, show a move to the second senior brother and the fourth senior sister. The one on the tree over there...
"
Zhang Wenfeng made up an excuse to communicate with the spirit fluctuations and pointed to a fruit on a branch seven or eight feet away.
The black donkey opened his mouth and sprayed, and a silver thunder light as thick as a chopstick hit the fist-sized black-feathered bird on the treetop with a "crack" sound.
It is now very proficient in practicing the lightning technique, not to mention its accuracy and speed, practice makes perfect.
The unlucky bird was scorched black, emitting green smoke and hot steam. It collided and fell from the branches, causing the bird's head to separate. The power of the thunder technique was increased, roasting the bird until it was charred on the outside and raw on the inside.
Yue Anyan's eyes widened and he looked up and down at this unique donkey who knew how to use thunder.
I finally understood that it was this ugly-looking donkey that used thunder to attack evil things last night. No wonder the viewer likes to take the donkey out to do errands.
"How come it...can't detect the fluctuations of demonic energy on its body?"
Yue Anyan looked at the donkey with his spiritual eyes and checked for a while. There was no light on the donkey, so he asked doubtfully.
The second senior brother only learned the spiritual eye technique at noon today, and he couldn't tell any clues.
Zhang Wenfeng scolded the donkey, saying he shouldn't kill animals indiscriminately.
I have to have more lessons with the donkey in the future. This guy thinks that ahimsa means not killing people indiscriminately. In fact, there is no hatred, and if you don’t want to fill your stomach, you shouldn’t kill animals, birds and other living things at will. He said:
"It has been raised in the Taoist temple since it was a child. It has been enlightened by our morning and evening sutra chanting. Perhaps it is for this reason that the demon power in its body is not obvious, but there is also a disadvantage. It cannot understand the magic and can only learn the human thunder method.
I wonder if I can understand its innate magic in the future?"
Yue Anyan was relieved.
I remember that when she was still in the mountains, after morning and evening classes, she would often see donkeys dazed outside the temple.
The world is so big and full of wonders that a donkey can enlighten itself by listening to the chanting of sutras.
The second senior brother clasped his fists and called out "fellow Taoist donkey" seriously. Then he laughed and said, "It feels so strange. I need to get used to it for a few days."
The donkey nodded his head and returned the courtesy in a serious manner. He was able to get to know a few more colleagues, especially the second senior brother and fourth senior sister whom he spent time with day and night. He felt satisfied with being recognized and grinned happily.
The young badger lay on the donkey's back, picking at the donkey's hair with its paws, looking stupidly at this and that.
"Only the three of us know these two things. It's better not to tell Uncle Lame, otherwise, he doesn't know how to get along with a donkey, he can't scold him well, he has many worries, and he won't have much fun."
Zhang Wenfeng gave a special instruction.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'm a donkey who knows the art of thunder, but our Taoist temple's trump card is that we don't tell anyone."
The second senior brother said cheerfully.
When it comes to Taoism, he is not ambiguous at all.
Yue Anyan is thinking about how to teach the donkey to read, so that it can write a few simple words to communicate, and it will be more convenient to go out to do errands. She and the viewer are thinking in a slightly different direction.
