Xuandu accepted the evil spirit and gave Li Mu scriptures as a gift. Seeing that Li Mu was unwilling to convert, he did not force him to do so. He turned around and left in a cool manner just like last time.
Li Mu held the Buddhist scriptures and remembered the look in Su He's eyes when he reminded him just now, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything mysterious about this scripture?"
Su He glanced at the direction Xuandu left and said: "When Buddhist disciples first started practicing Buddhism, they used a certain Dharma Sutra as the basis and recited it day and night. If I guessed correctly, the monk wanted to use it to
Test your wisdom."
Li Mu asked suspiciously: "Hui Gen?"
"This is just what those monks say to fool fools." Su He said lightly: "The so-called wisdom root is your talent for practicing Buddhism. Chanting the Dharma Sutra is similar to the guidance of Taoism. Those with outstanding talent in Taoism will have the number of guidance
The same goes for the basic Dharma Sutra. Those with extraordinary talent in Buddhism will have visions of Buddha light after just reciting it a few times. Those with average talent will need several days. Those with no talent will recite it in vain...
…”
Su He looked at Li Mu with strange eyes and said, "You just recited one sentence, and Buddha's light appeared. You obviously have a very high talent for practicing Buddhism, but you just practiced Taoism..."
Li Mu himself didn't believe that he had any Buddhist talent. It was most likely because of the "Heart Sutra".
But this was not what he cared about. Li Mu looked at Su He and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Can Buddhism and Taoism be practiced at the same time?"
"Of course it can." Su He said: "If it is the way of cultivation of other schools, it may not work. However, Taoism cultivates the Dantian and Buddhism cultivates the physical body. There is no conflict between the two, but it is not easy to practice. It is already difficult to practice just one way. Very few
There are people who practice both Buddhism and Taoism, so don’t be too greedy.”
It's not that Li Mu is greedy, it's just that both Buddhism and Taoism have their own strengths and weaknesses. If you practice both, you can learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses. When fighting with others, you will have more trump cards to protect yourself.
If Li Mu had only practiced Taoism or Buddhism, he would not have been able to survive Su He's arrival during the fight with the lizard spirit just now.
He does not necessarily have to practice Buddhism to an advanced level. As long as he possesses a little Buddhist power, he can exert part of the power of the Heart Sutra. When encountering evil spirits, he can attack and defend, providing double protection.
The introductory practice of Buddhism is simpler than that of Taoism.
One only needs to recite the Dharma Sutra, while the other has to work hard to refine his soul, but this does not mean that Buddhist practice is simpler than Taoist practice.
The lower three realms of Taoism, soul refining, soul condensation, and concentration of mind, lay the foundation for subsequent practice. Buddhism is easy to practice at the beginning, but it is difficult to practice the mind later. The characteristic of easy first and then difficult is suitable for Li Mu. After all, he
I originally followed the path of cultivating Taoism, and had no intention of cultivating Buddhist magic power to a very advanced level.
After putting away the Taoist books and Buddhist scriptures, Li Mu said goodbye to Su He and walked along the official road towards the county seat.
Bishuiwan is neither close nor far from the county seat. It would take Li Mu about half an hour to walk normally. If he could draw magic talismans, he could save a lot of time on the road.
It's a pity that he only knows a few talismans, and with today's low magic power, he can draw even fewer. Divine walking talismans require Soul Condensation Realm cultivation to draw, and currently Li Mu is simply unable to do it.
The fight with this lizard spirit was a blow to Li Mu.
In the past, his cultivation was low, and he relied on his ability to control the evil spirits of demons and ghosts, so he was arrogant and did not take the monsters seriously. The result was that if Su He did not appear, his body would be destroyed.
He has been treated as blood food by the lizard spirit for a long time, and even his soul will be devoured.
This dangerous experience reminded Li Mu that currently he is just a rookie who has just entered the world of spiritual practice. Before he has absolute strength, he must survive...
After returning home, Li Mu put all those miscellaneous things behind his mind and concentrated on thinking about Ning Ning.
He has already condensed the first Soul Corpse Dog, and the second one to condense is the Third Soul Bird Yin.
Que Yin is born from grief, sadness, sorrow, mourning, and pity, which are all sorrows. How can he make others feel these emotions towards him?
Theoretically speaking, writing a book is the easiest way to arouse the emotions of most people. After readers take over, they will feel happy or angry, sad or sad according to the direction of the plot. The more popular it is, the more readers there are, and the more powerful the emotions will be.
It's huge, but if you want to condense your soul through this road, it's difficult to pass.
In order for Li Mu to absorb someone's emotions, he needs to be face to face with the other person. Beyond a certain distance, the guidance technique becomes useless.
Although this road was not accessible, the idea was generally correct. Following this idea, Li Mu quickly thought of a method.
Soon, Li Mu arrived at the entrance of Yunyan Pavilion.
Yunyan Pavilion is a chain store that does more than just selling books.
To be precise, it is a brand. It has a bookstore, a music studio, a theater, and a teahouse. The bookstore is next to the teahouse, opposite the teahouse is the music studio, and next to the music studio is the theater. The four shops are all called Yunyan Pavilion.
.
If the bookstore was in fire, the storyteller would reinterpret it, and the orchestra would arrange music and music, and then adapt it into a drama in the theater. This made Li Mu have to admire the shopkeeper of Yunyan Pavilion.
This kind of advanced pan-entertainment concept is rare in this world. We will have the opportunity to get to know such visionary people in the future.
Li Mu stepped into the bookstore. The middle-aged shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter looked up and immediately ran out. He asked earnestly: "Sir, why are you here? "Liaozhai" is still being stereotyped. It will take some time before it can be published.
Listed…”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not doing it for this reason."
The shopkeeper said: "Young Master, if you have anything else to do, just ask..."
The shopkeeper's attitude made Li Mu a little strange. According to his investigation, the bookstore's attitude towards its authors was not very friendly. After all, those poor scholars had to postpone manuscripts every three days, and the shopkeepers of major bookstores wanted to put their swords on the shelf.
Forcing them to write manuscripts over their heads is rarely so friendly.
However, since others had a good attitude, Li Mu would not feel uncomfortable with being a bitch. He smiled and said, "There is indeed something I want to ask the shopkeeper for."
After all, he is the man that the girl likes, so he must not be neglected. The middle-aged shopkeeper said quickly: "Young master, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Li Mu asked: "I wonder if the teahouse next door is short of storytellers..."
The shopkeeper asked: "Master, do you want to write a book?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I want to try it."
Storytelling and writing have certain similarities. Although the storyteller's audience is only limited to a place in the teahouse, the distance from them is only a curtain, and Li Mu can easily guide their emotions.
After hearing Li Mu's request, the shopkeeper immediately said: "I will make arrangements for you immediately."
No matter how dull Li Mu is, he realizes that something is wrong at this moment. Since last time, the shopkeeper's attitude towards him has been too good, not to mention giving him special preferential treatment for publishing books. Now he is even more responsive.
Those who knew it thought Li Mu was the shopkeeper...
He looked at the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, are you hiding something from me?"
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled and said, "How is that possible..."
When he spoke, his eyes were wandering and his expression was nervous, which made Li Mu confirm his suspicion and asked: "What are you hiding from me?"
"I……"
The shopkeeper hesitated and didn't dare to look up at him.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Huang, go down."
At this time, a familiar voice to Li Mu suddenly came from above the attic.
Liu Hanyan walked down the stairs, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Just ask me if you have any questions. Don't embarrass Shopkeeper Huang."
Li Mu looked at her in shock, and then suddenly said: "It turns out it's you..."
When Liu Hanyan walked downstairs, Li Mu understood everything.
He understood why last time when his manuscript had been rejected, the shopkeeper suddenly chased him out, changed his attitude 180 degrees, approved his manuscript without any hesitation, and gave him so many preferential treatment.
It turns out that the "smoke" of Yunyan Pavilion is the "smoke" of Liu Hanyan.
Li Mu thought that he was already making money with his own efforts, but he didn't expect that he was still relying on Liu Hanyan.
In other words, he is eating soft food.
Although I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, it was undeniable that this soft rice tasted quite delicious.
