Kunlun one millet

Chapter 83

Looking at the young girl in front of him, Zhao Mi put a book on the table in embarrassment, and said:
"If you can't understand "Chunqiu Suanjing", then change to this "Ming Suan Ji Ji"."

The young girl pouted her tender red lips, leaned her elbows on the table, propped her cheeks and asked, "Brother Ami, the pictures in this book are like ghost symbols, I can't understand them."

Zhao Mi coughed lightly: "Sister Wanruo, the pictures in the sutras are not talismans and seals, but the images of squares, circles and rules. If you don't understand the mystery, you can't talk about arithmetic. In the future, when you study magic, you will inevitably have to calculate astronomy, calendar, and geography. Far and near, there are many complex changes of Jiugong Bagua and Tiangandizhi, arithmetic is the foundation of the use of magic."

This younger sister of Wanruo is the daughter of Marquis Anyang. After Zhang Duanjing left, Marquis Anyang couldn't wait to ask Zhao Mi to enlighten Wanruo.

As far as Zhao Shu knows, it is not surprising that these noble families who have no family tradition of magic arts invite monks to teach their children enlightenment, so that when the children of the family officially enter the school to study, they will not be ignorant and ignorant .

It's not that Zhao Mi doesn't know the intention of Marquis Anyang, but he probably wants to take this opportunity to match himself and Wanrong.It's just that when Zhao Mi thought of his parents, he really didn't want to start a family.

What's more, Zhao Mi had no interest in the affairs of men and women. Before meeting Lingxiao, his greatest expectation in life was to devote all his attention to the study of magic arts, and to die among the classics and ancient books.

And the appearance of Lingxiao is to make Zhao Mi truly understand that the way of immortality is not empty and that immortality is possible.As for whether he can prove the way of immortality, Zhao Mi himself has no confidence.

"Isn't it all about practicing meditation? Why do you need to learn these things?" Wan Ruo was puzzled.

Zhao Mi had no choice but to answer patiently: "Cultivation is cultivation, and technique is technique. In fact, these are two things. There are many methods of cultivation since ancient times, but they are generally inseparable from the word "mind and body". The foundation, breathing out the clear Qi of the week, conserving the true energy of the hundred meridians, condensing the mysterious beads, forming the fetus, and finally seeking longevity and long-term vision. There are not many magical techniques used in this.

On the other hand, the study of magic arts is different. It needs to see the evolution and changes of all things in the world, and use them to drive and use them, up to stealing the life and death of the world, with the power of mediating good fortune, down to exorcising evil spirits and demons, town houses and homes, and so on. The technique is used for profit.All in all, if you want to study the art of magic, you can't just rely on meditation to adjust your breath, you must spend time studying it.

Of course, this does not mean that cultivation is easy.Refining qi and keeping the mind, no matter what you do, you must adjust your body and mind, meditate into tranquility, and seek to be able to sympathize with clear qi.If you can't concentrate, just sitting still, countless distracting thoughts will emerge, and the more you sit, the more annoying you will be.Forcibly exhaling and refining qi in this way, it is still light to useless, and if you are not careful, your qi channels will be diverted and your body will get sick.

Naturally, there is no shortage of cultivation techniques in the gymnasium, but before the formal cultivation, it is necessary to adjust the body and mind, which is also the foundation of the study of techniques.Therefore, instead of meditating as soon as you come up, it is better to concentrate on reading, which can not only accumulate knowledge, but also concentrate your spirit.As for the kind of genius who can cultivate successfully without studying, there are naturally some, but who can guarantee that he is such a person? "

When Zhao Shu opened his mouth, he was eloquent and eloquent, and when he talked about excitement, he was eloquent, regardless of Wanruo who was facing him with drooping eyelids and drowsy.

After hearing these words, Wanruo yawned and said, "Brother Ami, why are you working so hard to learn magic arts?"

Zhao Shu was speechless for a while, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Don't you think the study of magic is very interesting? As long as you go deep into it, you can understand the mysteries that ordinary people can't touch."

Wanruo's expression was strange: "But I heard from the two elder brothers that because the ruler of the country prefers students from the official houses when he appoints officials, so all the children of the capital want to enter the various official houses. Don't you, Brother Ami?" Did you get an official position because of this?"

Zhao Mi laughed and said, "When I first studied magic arts, I never thought about being an official. As for making a living and profiting from magic arts, it doesn't need to be done now. It's everywhere from ancient times to the present. It's not surprising."

Wanruo sighed, "But I'm a girl, and I can't be an official. Even if I go to the museum to study magic arts, what's the use?"

Zhao Mi had no choice but to say: "Guanxi monks with magical skills, even if they are women, cannot be treated as ordinary people. If sister Wanruo succeeds in cultivation, she will fly to the sky and escape from the earth, eat clouds and drink dew in the future. She will be very happy and at ease. You can also see many scenery that ordinary people can't see, not to mention the beauty of being immune to all diseases and staying young."

"I don't need these things either." Wan Ruoyan said.

Zhao Mi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the cultivation achievements he had worked so hard for were worthless in front of Wanruo.

"Young prince, you have never experienced the sufferings of the world; you are young, and you don't feel the passage of time." Lingxiao said: "You should now understand why the Liang family in Yongjia has no successors. Not everyone is urgent about life and death. Longevity is wonderful, but how many people can give up the pleasure of five sounds and five tastes and concentrate on pure cultivation? Ordinary people don’t know that life is rare, so they waste time, waste time, or chase fame and fortune, and indulge in love, only waiting for the end to come. Come to terms with remorse."

Zhao Mi sighed in his heart, in fact, he was pretty much the same in the past.What the vast majority of Guanxi monks pursue is the power of techniques, the exquisiteness of methods, and even the title of Guanxi's origin. There are not many people who go to immortality, even in the Huaiying Pavilion.

Zhao Mi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, it would be better to say that it is more illusory to become a fairy.Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who have practiced immortality and learned Taoism, but how many people have become immortals?
What's more, because I have been in contact with a lot, and I have seen many people who are seeking immortality but have achieved nothing, it is inevitable that the immortality is far away, so it is better to grasp the present moment.

If there is no Lingxiao to dial it all the time, Zhao Mi will probably just muddle along, and will not put his mind on becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao.

But Zhao Mi also gradually realized that the journey of cultivating immortality is no different than others, and it is impossible to achieve success just by relying on the supervision and guidance of the elders.If you don't have a sincere heart from the root, and gather all your energy to adjust yourself, you will definitely not be successful in cultivation.

This kind of inner secret and mystery related to the nature of mind is not exposed to the outside, and can only be judged from the experience of each person's words and deeds.

And the daughter of Marquis Anyang obviously has no interest in immortality, and lacks interest in the study of spells. Such a person is useless even if he has high aptitude and talent.Unless one day in the future, after experiencing a change, one develops the desire to seek immortality, and is willing to devote oneself to cultivation, otherwise it is useless to say a thousand words now.

Just when Zhao Mi was worried, one of Wanrong's elder brothers poked his head out outside the courtyard door.

"What is the second son's business?" Zhao Mi asked.

"It's nothing serious. I just heard that there will be a laurel banquet in the Leyou Garden in the north of the city. All the nobles and nobles' children can go there to enjoy the flowers and the moon. The king may also come." The second young master said.

Wanruo got up excitedly: "The laurel feast! Finally the day has come! Do you want to come together?"

Zhao Mi opened his mouth and shook his head lightly: "I still have official business in Jinding Company, so I won't accompany you."

Wan Ruo seemed to have received an amnesty, and ran out of the small courtyard like the wind, and left with the second young master.

"Do you now understand what is meant by 'a rare fate'?" Ling Xiao said, "The immortal fate is so close that not everyone can grasp it."

Zhao Mi replied helplessly, "I haven't accomplished my cultivation yet, so others naturally don't take it seriously."

As soon as he left the Anyang Marquis Mansion, he saw He Dangguan eating a piece of sauced pig's trotter by the side of the carriage.

"Zhao, Deacon Zhao!" He Dangguan hurriedly put away the sauced pig's trotters, and wiped the oil from his mouth.

"Don't be busy, you continue." Zhao Mi sat on the shaft of the car, holding a few books on mathematics, flipping through them casually.

"Has Deacon Zhao had lunch?" He Dangguan asked.

"No." Zhao Mi replied casually.

"That's not allowed." He Dangguan said, "Although Deacon Zhao is a practitioner, he doesn't eat or drink all the time, and his body can't stand it anymore."

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Although my cultivation level is not completely free from food, it is not difficult to drink dew for several months. Moreover, there are many taboos in practicing magic, and meat and wine are easy to be contaminated with filth. , even if it is five grains, it is inevitable that the five Zang's true qi will be mixed and impure."

"I see." He Dangguan looked at the sauced pig's trotter in his hand, hesitant to speak.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Mi asked, "I saw you before when you were fighting with Zheng Tunan, and you were able to distribute Qi with the sword. Have you ever practiced breathing?"

He Dang nodded his head and replied: "I have practiced randomly, but they are all skills that can't be put on the stage."

"Breathing and qi guiding are originally the methods of prolonging life in order to achieve longevity. Wufu swordsmen use it to strengthen their muscles and bones and strengthen their internal qi. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it is a bit of a waste of money." Zhao Shu said. .

He Dangguan said with a smile: "Swordsmen like us can practice martial arts. With this, we can get a good job and be satisfied. How can we dare to ask for too much?"

Zhao Mi tapped his knees with his fingers and said, "How about I teach you an authentic method of cultivation?"

He Dangguan shook his hand, and the sauced pig's trotter fell to the ground. He hurriedly bent over to pick it up, and asked with a look of astonishment, "Isn't Deacon Zhao joking? The villain has been stupid since he was a child. I'm afraid he won't be able to learn the magic of the fairy family." .”

"I saw you practicing swordsmanship several times, and found that there are quite a few rules in it. How can you be a fool?" Zhao Mi frowned and said, "No matter how brilliant the magic method of the fairy family is, it is for people to learn and practice. There is nothing to say if you don’t practice or not. Anyway, you only need to answer whether you want to or not.”

"Think!" He Dangguan replied immediately.

Zhao Mi nodded heavily: "As long as you want, you can do it! You can continue to eat this pig's trotter, but you should have a light appetite for the next few days. I will go to Yingzhou Island later, and I will teach you the formula there .”

Zhao Mi also lost her temper, Wanruo's family background was very good, and Zhao Mi was sincerely giving advice, but the little girl gave up her exquisite and profound knowledge of magic arts to join in the excitement of the laurel banquet.

One can imagine the displeasure in Zhao Mi's heart that what he regards as a treasure is actually regarded as a shoe by the other party, but the other party is still the daughter of Marquis Anyang, so it is not easy for him to get angry in the open.

Moreover, Wanruo's words also stimulated Zhao Mi, making him unavoidably rethink the connection between knowledge accumulation and immortal cultivation.If someone else is far inferior to Zhao Mi in knowledge of techniques, can he still be successful in cultivation?

Zhao Mi wasn't sure, and he couldn't confirm it himself.So when he saw He Dangguan, he simply chose him as the person to teach the formula.

……

"Are you going to Yingzhou Island?" Shi Huoguang asked
"The city is crowded with people, so it's not suitable for cultivation after all." Zhao Mi said, "But I went to Yingzhou Island not only to practice myself, but also to take the opportunity to sacrifice magic weapons. I also want to teach them how to practice. "

Zhao Mi signaled to Zheng Siyuan and He Dangguan next to him that he had already taught them the introductory formula in the Xuanpu Jade Book.However, the specific practice needs to be guided by Zhao Mi, and it is the most appropriate time to go to Yingzhou Island to breathe.In addition, there are several monks from the Huaiying Pavilion who also want to go together.

"If you want to teach the cultivation method, I can't say anything." Shi Huoguang said: "Although I am the teacher of the Baiqi Academy of Huaiying Pavilion, in the past some of the students in the library were taught by you instead of me. Now you have been promoted to teach San The position of Qing, in terms of cultivation and knowledge, is more qualified than me to be the coach of the museum."

Zhao Mi sighed, "You have also learned to laugh at me."

Shi Huoguang shook his head: "This is not a joke. You used to stay in the Huaiying Pavilion, and you couldn't see some things clearly. Before you got the Profound Orb in your thirties, your cultivation is already one of the best among your peers."

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhao Mi waved his hand.

Just as Shi Huoguang was about to explain, a tall figure came outside the courtyard. It was Jing Shi. She held a stack of charms in her hand and handed them to Zhao Mi, saying:
"Deacon Zhao, I have finished refining this batch of seal creation talismans."

"Oh? So fast?" Zhao Mi took the talisman, inspected it again and again, and found that the aura was complete. It can be seen that there was no slack in the refining of the Jingshi calligraphy talisman.

Ever since He Dangguan hinted that there might be something wrong with this woman Jing Shi, Zhao Mi was also testing her secretly, especially when refining the spells, and deliberately handed over some tedious tasks to her.

However, Jing Shi always completes it to perfection every time. Zhao Mi thinks it is impossible to do a better job than Jing Shi in this batch of sealing talismans used to stop bleeding and heal wounds, which makes him a little bit ashamed. It's heavy?
Although Jing Shi was born in Chongxuan Pavilion, is it forbidden that he really concentrate on doing things?Zheng Siyuan used to work hard while casting spells and refining arrows, but the four Chongxuanguan monks who were working in the Danding Branch disappeared every three days.

"Fellow Daoist Jingshi, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Mi said, "Seeing that you have been staying in the Jinding Division these days, don't you plan to go out to get some air?"

"The company is busy with business and has no time to get away." Jing Shi said lightly.

After much deliberation, Zhao Mi said, "I'm planning to go to Yingzhou Island in the next two days. Fellow Daoist Jing Shi might as well take a break from his official duties and go together. Yingzhou Island is full of fresh air, which is suitable for cultivating the body and mind and improving cultivation. Mana. It also prevents the colleagues in the hall from thinking that I can only arrange official business and be unreasonable."

Jing Shi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since Deacon Zhao said so, I will accompany you."
