That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1136

Xu Beiyou went to and from Chongning Palace alone. Although there were nine bends and eighteen corridors along the way, but fortunately Xu Beiyou had an amazing memory. He had already memorized it by heart after only walking through it once. After seeing Xu Beiyou, the two young eunuchs guarding the gate of Chongning Palace had obviously already received Wanyan Beiyue's orders, and immediately pushed open the gate of the tall hall of Chongning Palace to invite this distinguished guest in.

Xu Beiyou stepped over the threshold and entered the hall, and the two young eunuchs slowly closed the door again, Xu Beiyou looked around, but there was no one on the red sandalwood chair that belonged to Wanyan Beiyue, only a three-legged tripod and four There is only a white cloud copper stove, and the smoke curls up like clouds.

Xu Beiyou turned his gaze to the long corridor covered with veils. At the end of the long corridor is Wanyan Beiyue's meticulously cultivated abode.

At this moment, Wanyan Beiyue's voice came from inside, "Come in."

Xu Beiyou was taken aback for a moment. According to the unwritten convention, monks' retreat places are the most private places. Usually, except Taoist couples and Dharma protectors, even ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter easily. At this time, Wanyan Beiyue invited him Entering his own abode, this was somewhat beyond Xu Beiyou's expectation.

However, Xu Beiyou only hesitated a little, then walked into the long corridor covered with veils, until he came to the door of the Abode at the end, pushed the door open and entered.

In the monastery, Wanyan Beiyue was still sitting cross-legged on the usual platform, with the Taoist ancestor on her head and the demon at her feet, and she was in the midst of it.

There is a special futon about three feet away from the sitting table, which is the place reserved for Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou sat cross-legged on the futon, and said, "Thank you, Lord Wanyan, for your fulfillment."

"The essence of the Immortal Golden Body was taught to you by Murong Xuanyin, and it was you who persuaded Murong Xuanyin. This is your own ability. It has nothing to do with me, and why bother to thank me." Wanyan Beiyue's voice Very peaceful.

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "You can't say that. After all, the lord gave me the opportunity to meet Mr. Murong. No matter what, the lord deserves Xu's thanks."

Wanyan Beiyue narrowed her eyes and said, "I heard about you a long time ago. At that time, you were not the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, but just a nobody. Now a few years have passed, and you have become the successor to Shangguan Immortal." The status of the Great Sword Immortal after Dust has changed, and his temperament has also changed a lot."

Xu Beiyou asked, "I don't know what the lord's words mean?"

Wanyan Beiyue said: "Take the responsibility of the common people in the world, take the family and the country as the most important thing, dare to be the first in the world, these are your strengths, I won't say more, but you are too worldly and tactful, you have learned the tricks of hypocrisy , at such a young age, he is depressed, like an old master, without the vigor and vigor of a young man, which is really unpleasant."

Xu Beiyou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "As the lord said just now, every time the junior thinks of the heavy burdens on his shoulders, it will be very difficult for him to act according to his will. You can float with the wind and be free and easy, but after you put a stone on your body, you can’t fly anymore.”

Wanyan Beiyue said indifferently: "It's hard to be an ordinary person at the bottom of the mountain, but it's hard to be an immortal on the mountain. In fact, it's not difficult. There is a saying in Confucianism, it's called the top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain, and the inside and outside of the world. It is a sage. When I first heard this sentence when I was young, I just thought it was dismissive, but when I was old, I thought about it, but I felt that it made sense."

Xu Beiyou put his hands on his knees and waited for the next sentence.

Wanyan Beiyue stared at Xu Beiyou, and said slowly: "Only by riding on the shoulders of the common people can you take on the burden of the sages. Don't be a layman who flies around the mountain, don't be a fairy on the mountain who doesn't hear anything outside the window, and be a person on the mountain and down the mountain." It is difficult for people who are sages and sages who communicate with each other."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Master Wanyan is overrated. In fact, I have never been a fairy, let alone a sage. I am just a layman with seven emotions and six desires."

Wanyan Beiyue stared at him closely, took a long time to look away, and chuckled: "What a layman, if everyone in the world is a layman like you, then there is no place for so-called immortals in this world."

Xu Beiyou remained silent.

Wanyan Beiyue shook her head, and said: "It's too early to tell you these words, after all, you are not yet [-] years old, no matter how high your realm is, you are still a young man after all, without us The state of mind of these old guys is also reasonable, so let’s not talk about it, how about talking about the four golden bodies?”

Xu Beiyou nodded and said a good word.

Wanyan Beiyue said slowly: "It was said in Daoist Enlightenment Chapter of Daozang that if you swallow a elixir in your stomach, you will know that your fate will not be controlled by heaven. The golden elixir will be completed in one day, and the words of the ancient immortals are really audible. Those who say nine years and three years are all delays. The cultivation of great medicine is easy and difficult, and I know it is up to me and God. If I have my life, I can plant golden lotus in the fire. What is the golden lotus in the fire? Only after the frost and snow in the inner courtyard have disappeared, can we plant lotus for the fire."

The so-called golden lotus planted in the fire, the place to be "planted" is the sea of ​​Qi in the lower dantian.

The inner courtyard is Zhongdan Tianqi Mansion.

After Xu Beiyou heard the words, he savored them carefully and remained silent.

Wanyan Beiyue continued: "The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a humble dog. It is not that the world is ruthless, but that the world is fair. The world has no heart, but the world has imposed a heart on the world. Thunder is regarded as the anger of the world. Consider heavy snow to be indifferent to heaven and earth, gentle wind and light rain to regard heaven and earth as benevolent, and desolate wind and rain to regard heaven and earth as sorrowful."

When Wanyan Beiyue's voice fell, the outside of Chongning Palace suddenly became dark. In this snowy weather, countless raindrops fell, hitting the golden jade tiles of the palace, making a crackling sound. The rainwater trickled down along the eaves.

The wind is the head of the rain. When the rain fell, the wind suddenly increased, blowing into the gate of the palace from all directions with a sharp whistling sound.The two windows of the abbot were suddenly blown outwards, and moist water vapor rushed into the abbot with the wind.

Wanyan Beiyue's robe was swayed by the wind, he was unmoved, and continued: "It's like this rain, which has no emotion at all, but the world has imposed its feelings for this rain on the world. Using one's own mind to imitate the heavenly mind is nothing more than this. One's own mind is one's own mind, so what is one's own mind to imitate the heavenly mind? To put it bluntly, it is to let the vitality of heaven and earth change according to one's own will."

Xu Beiyou turned his head and looked at the curtain of rain outside, and said: "At this time, there is no rain in this place, it is the heart of heaven. Lord Wanyan used his supernatural powers to gather a cloud of rain and force it to rain. Calling the wind and calling for rain is nothing more than that. This is imitating the heart of heaven with his own heart."

Wanyan Beiyue said in a deep voice: "Where is my heart? The Zifu is. You want to melt the four golden bodies into one furnace. It is different from the martial arts' horizontal training. It does not lie in the physical acupoints themselves, but in the The three major dantians within it are said in Daoist sects to refine qi to transform qi, and to refine qi to transform gods, and the four great golden bodies are to control qi with gods and return essence with qi."

Wanyan Beiyue pointed to her own heart, "There is another saying in the plan of the demons, the one who subdues the demons first subdues his heart, and the demons will retreat when the heart is subdued. The one who controls the power first controls the spirit, and the spirit is calm, and the outside will not invade. Do you understand?"

Xu Beiyou lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Wanyan Beiyue didn't say any more, closed her eyes again, and began to practice meditation.
