The donkey watched the viewer untie the hemp rope from the tree stump, and then pulled up the thick hemp rope hanging below the mist canyon section by section, taking his time, like an old farm man sitting on the bank of the river fishing.
The sound of fish jumping alive can be heard from the fish basket woven with thin slices of bamboo.
The fish basket woven by the viewer has a circle of thin bamboo strips poured inward, forming a funnel shape.
The fish can easily get in and cannot escape.
Three fish baskets were collected in a row, and the harvest was good. The real wooden barrels dug out from a thick tree contained more than 20 river fish with tails ranging from palms to feet long, and small fish as long as fingers were thrown in by the viewer.
When we entered the canyon, we heard from the visitor that we should not “fish in the dry lake”.
Anyway, the viewer grilled the fish and ate it, and he said nice things, and the truth is all on the viewer’s side.
The donkey curled his lips and rolled his eyes in an attempt to resist. However, he didn't have enough ink in his stomach, and he couldn't think of any good words to say. The old cripple's dirty words like "both acting and standing" couldn't be put on the stage, so he said:
"Master, we've been staying on this isolated island for a month. Do you have any confidence as to when Mo Ye will let us out? I've lost weight by eating grass every day. You smell fishy now, so far away.
We can all smell it, so it’s not a big deal if we just hang out on the island every day.”
Listening to the donkey's daily complaints, Zhang Wenfeng, who was barefoot with his sleeves tied up and his trouser legs rolled up, put down the three fish baskets he had collected in the morning and put them upside down under the shade of the tree to dry, saying: "Lv Zijin, you have to cherish this moment."
During the retreat time, you should calm down and carefully ponder your cultivation method. You cannot stop practicing because of the forbidden method. When I understand the true meaning of 'watching the waterfall', I will be able to go out."
He is not idle at all. He spends half a day every day "watching the waterfall" in the stone house on the top of the rock, carefully comprehending the ethereal thoughts covered by the clouds and fog. The rest of the time, he chants sutras, does morning lessons, practices swordsmanship, boxing, body movements and
Practicing the breath and meditating, nothing will be delayed.
He could sit still and calm down.
After a month of practicing without any distractions, he felt that his cultivation had improved a lot.
So what about the forbidden methods here? The growth of Yuan Qi in the body is real, and it is just right to use the forbidden methods to polish the state of mind.
He is not worried about the people in the Taoist temple. The second senior brother has a gradual cultivation level, which is more than enough to support the overall situation.
Yue Anyan has a delicate mind and is able to fill in the gaps.
There are earth spirits guarding the bronze bell in the back mountain, and the spiritual plants inside the mountain gate are taken care of by Hu Qiang'er. Most of the spiritual grass and spiritual plant seeds are full of vitality and full of spiritual energy. They can be bred as usual, unlike when he finally managed it.
The few seeds obtained were inferior seeds lacking in vitality.
Taoist temples are already on the right path, so just keep going step by step.
"Hey, I can't calm down, and I start to think wildly every few days. Maybe I'm not suitable to be confined to a small area. I have to go to the wild and run freely. That kind of flying and smooth feeling is what I want."
The donkey was worried. This big place had banned the law, making it impossible for him to practice. He was worried that he would be unable to stop and rush out of the island and fall into the mist canyon.
Zhang Wenfeng used a whittled bamboo knife to disembowel all the river fish and scrape off the scales. He was helpless. Mo Ye would definitely not consider the donkey's feelings for him.
He didn't know when he would understand the meaning of "watching the waterfall". The donkey was having a hard time, and he couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it.
Looking at the rock cave where the donkey lived, the donkey went up to the top of the rock several times. It refused to live in a stone house that was not big enough and was restrained. It wanted to live in a down-to-earth place, mainly because it was too troublesome. Zhang Wenfeng suddenly thought of an idea.
"Lu Zijin, in the classics I have read, there is a body-building method that is suitable for the situation you are facing now. You hit trees and rocks with various parts of your body every day to stimulate the demonic power in the body that cannot be released outside to achieve the tempering effect. It is said that
The body is so tempered that it can smash a mountain into pieces. You can try it, but remember not to do it recklessly, but to do it step by step."
Based on his understanding of donkeys, this guy is very curious and willing to try all new things.
The main reason why the donkey can't calm down is because it can't find anything to do to let it sink in.
The human way of cultivating the mind is not suitable for donkeys.
The donkey blinked his eyes and showed his thoughts. It had insufficient knowledge and could not find a suitable practice method for itself. But once it found it, it could do everything well: "Is this still possible? It sounds interesting. I'll go.
Try it."
It ran into the woods, which was very challenging.
The huge power that can smash the mountain into pieces makes his blood boil when he hears it, which is very exciting.
"Pick the largest old locust tree in the southeast and hit it. Don't mess with the smaller trees."
"I know, Master, you are so verbose."
The donkey stopped its hooves and turned to run southeast.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled, and the guy started talking nonsense again. It seemed that his method was working, so he lit a fire to grill the fish on the stone stove, stewed the fish in a stone pot dug out with a sword, and added a few bitter wild vegetable leaves as decoration.
After finishing his monotonous breakfast, Zhang Wenfeng took the extra grilled fish to the stone house and hung it on the stone wall.
Stand on the eaves steps and overlook the waterfall pouring from the clouds.
Alas, sometimes his manpower is exhausted. He has racked his brains and tried all the methods he knows, such as chanting sutras quietly, visualizing thoughts, using waterfalls to transform sword intentions, using paintings to think, etc., but nothing has been achieved at all. He doesn't know how to understand anymore.
?
Mo Ye didn't give him any hints.
He guessed that Xin Yue entered the Ghost Danger Valley and did not come out as promised, and she was similar to him and was trapped in retreat.
Zhang Wenfeng relaxed his mind and didn't think about anything at all. He stared at the waterfall with rising mist, his eyes were unfocused and gradually became empty and blurred.
There was a very subtle flash of blue light on his body.
The nearby spiritual energy was drawn and slowly formed a stream of breeze.
Surrounding me, there is no sound.
…
Xianling Temple, one of the bamboo buildings beside the Lingquan pool.
The second senior brother bathed and burned incense, fasted for three days, dressed in plain white Taoist robes, with disheveled hair, stepped on the hexagram steps with bare feet, and performed an ancient hexagram shaking ritual in the room on the second floor.
Divination is his hobby. After he improves his cultivation, he can go to the city to read more classics and study them. His divination skills are advancing rapidly, and the tide is rising.
fo
The ancient copper coins collided with the tortoise shell, making bursts of sound. He tilted one end of the tortoise shell and released his left palm.
"Crash", three ancient copper coins fell on the plain white hexagram cloth covered with runes, and stopped rolling for a moment.
A chubby white insect crawled lazily along the three ancient coins, and then slowly climbed onto a rune on the Gua Bu, wagging its head high.
"You're a lazy idiot. All you do is eat and sleep all day long. When you wake up, you eat. As a monster, you have to practice diligently."
The second senior brother took out a small brown gourd from his sleeve, uncorked the bottle, and laughed and cursed helplessly.
The long and thick yes-man, who had already awakened and advanced, stretched his body and got into the mouth of the gourd, coiled himself comfortably at the bottom of the gourd and remained motionless, turning a deaf ear to the nagging of the second senior brother.
The second brother put away the gourd. The yes-man he had subdued had the ability to listen to people's hearts and sense bad luck. The yes-man was connected with his mind. If he was serious, he could vaguely spy on the thoughts of others.
How could he have the nerve to show off his sorcery to Junior Sister Yue and the master of the temple?
He simply hid this monster insect from others and told the viewer to guess it every time he asked.
Determined not to tell them that this yes-man has turned into a "listener".
Use a small pen to write down the hexagrams, clean up all the tools, put on the Taoist robes you usually wear, tie your hair into a bun, secure it with a fork, put on your cloth shoes and go downstairs. Yue Anyan is waiting near the pool.
"The temple master is fine. There are some setbacks and difficulties. He will eventually be able to turn the danger into good fortune. You don't have to worry. As for when he will come back, we still can't tell. The temple master went to a different place, so it is quite difficult to feel it."
"That's good, Senior Brother Xinxin."
Yue Anyan heard that the patron who had been out for more than a month was safe and sound, with a smile on her face and handed the second brother three copper coins of divination gold. It was she who came forward to ask the second brother to do the divination. It was not convenient for the second brother to calculate his own fortune.
beg.
The second senior brother put away the hexagram gold and walked out side by side.
"Shi Nanguan was able to become the third breakthroughr by copying scriptures. I really didn't expect that kid. He was joking and chatting all day long but he was completely different when he copied scriptures. He could sink.
The master of the temple said it well, when teaching apprentices, they should be 'taught without distinction and teach them in accordance with their aptitude', and they should not be 'equal', which would suppress the nature of the apprentices."
"Yan Jing is also fast. That girl was originally ranked second. Seeing them break through one by one, they took a detour some time ago."
"Haste makes waste, and you can't do things in a hurry when it comes to spiritual practice."
The second senior brother smiled and glanced at his junior sister. His words also meant to admonish Yue Anye. He stopped and changed the subject: "I will go to Zhoucheng in the afternoon to get back two sets of custom-made arrays. I will take Wei Jingjie with me tomorrow."
Go to the Immortal Grass Ridge with Gu Chaowen and let them practice a bit, reclaim three to five acres of that enclave, and plant the remaining half of the spiritual grass seeds."
"Are you too impatient? They are still half-grown children."
"It doesn't matter. I've arranged two sets of arrays in Xiancao Ridge. They cultivate wasteland and plant spiritual grass in the mountains, cook by themselves, study, do homework and practice without anyone disturbing them. It's very clean. Loneliness can sharpen their temperament. I'll do it every few days.
I'll make a quick trip to deliver some items to them. Besides, there are a lot of monks from the sects coming and going in the Guizailing area, so our territory is very safe."
"Listen to the arrangements of the mountain chief. It's hard work for the mountain chief to travel back and forth."
