Wandering

Chapter 32 Shenguang Circles and Reunites, Inviting Moon Shu
(Inscription: What does the word "artistic conception" mean in Chinese? Many people use traditional abstract nouns when learning vernacular Chinese, which is often specious and does not seek to understand. In fact, every word in Chinese has its source, and ancient classical Chinese is a single word. , so the word "artistic conception" is not a word. If you want to find its source, I'm afraid it comes from a very "real" experience.)
***************************************
"...So Luo's inspiration came, he leaned and hesitated, the light of the gods separated and reunited, and the yin and yang suddenly appeared. The light body stood up like a crane, as if it was about to fly but did not fly....It is erratic like a god, the mausoleum wave is light, and the socks are dusty . . . ”

This is Teacher Liu's voice reciting ancient prose.The students were all very quiet, quietly listening to her recite Cao Zhi's "Fu of Luoshen".The elegant artistic conception of the article is read out with Teacher Liu's light and soft voice, coupled with her delicate and beautiful facial features and slim figure, it suddenly seems to be the reappearance of Luoshen in the article.

This is Chinese class.Ms. Liu may have been somewhat influenced by her predecessor, Mr. Tang, in class, and she often quoted other kinds of knowledge beyond the textbook in her lectures.The difference between her and old man Tang is that she doesn't express emotions and comments indiscriminately, but just recommends the words she thinks are beautiful to the students.This textbook is about Cao Cao's "Viewing the Canghai". Teacher Liu talked about the Wei and Jin style of writing from Cao Cao, and from the Wei and Jin style of writing to the three sons of Jian'an, and finally recited Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu".

Teacher Liu told us that in order to truly appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters, some articles must be read, and some articles are best memorized, such as this "Luo Shen Fu".These are tens of millions of times stronger than the anthologies of model essays sold to us by Mr. Sima Zhibei.

I immediately decided to memorize "Luo Shen Fu" when I go back at night.Even if it is not for the charm of Chinese characters, but only for Teacher Liu, I will definitely do so.

……

That night, it was still Yinshen traveling and came to Zhuangyuan Bridge.Feng Junzi had arrived early, and was sitting there shaking his head, muttering words: "...Shenguang separates and reunites, suddenly yin and then yang..." It turned out that he was also reciting "Luo Shen Fu" there.

I sighed from the side: "Why is such a good article not included in our textbooks? I don't know what the people who edited the textbooks think."

Junzi Feng nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked me again: "Shi Ye, do you know how Cao Zhi saw Luo Shen?"

"I've memorized "The Fu of the Goddess of Luo".

Feng Junzi glanced at me: "You memorized it? Good boy, faster than me!... Let me ask you, have you seen the light?"

I froze for a moment, and he suddenly asked about my alchemy practice.I see the light.I told him exactly how I felt during cultivation.He didn't praise me either, but just nodded and said, "Well, you already understand the first meaning of 'God'...don't worry, there's no rush for 'the sun never sets'. Gather herbs to make pills, first to use fire." After the slow fire, you need to take your time and use up all the essence, so you can practice slowly. Since your panacea has just been formed, according to the rules, I should teach you the spell to use in one hand, so I will teach you a "round light mirror" 'Bar."

Feng Junzi told me about the rules again.I found that he never told me about these rules in advance, and one popped up every once in a while, as if he couldn't remember it himself.I'm a little suspicious now, it's not that he really didn't want to tell me the rules of a practitioner in advance, but he really didn't think about it himself.Human psychology is so strange. Feng Junzi doesn't like those rules very much, but he has to abide by them. I'm afraid he forgot them intentionally or unintentionally when he was teaching me.

"What is a circular light mirror?"

"Actually, you have seen it before. Last time I used the Qingming Mirror to cast this spell, Fengyue Qingming Mirror, you yourself got into it... The transfer of spells depends on the disciples. The magic weapon you use is always the Qingming Mirror. That's why I remembered this. Strictly speaking, this is actually a Buddhist kung fu, but it just suits you... Be careful when learning the round light mirror. God, it is my way, who sent down his spirit to lead you out. In the future, if you do your own way, you must be careful not to go in and get out....You just stand outside and watch, and don’t go in yourself.”

Feng Junzi's words became more and more mysterious as he spoke. It was difficult for me to understand, but by coincidence, I did have the experience of "Feng Yue Qing Ming Jing", so I barely understood it.In fact, the magic of circular light mirror has existed since ancient times, and it is also recorded in the notes of literati in the past dynasties. The most vivid and mysterious one is the "Laoshan Taoist" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".Laoshan Taoist priests cut paper into the moon, and there are lights and shadows in the moon. If you invite the moon to your eyes, you can enter the mirror and let Chang'e serve wine.This is of course a literary expression.

The round light mirror that Junzi Feng taught me is not an actual mirror, but a round light in front of my eyes.This round of round light does not appear out of thin air, it must be based on the practice of Taoism.But for me, the foundation of this Taoism is the Maoyou Zhoutian of "the sun never sets".Mr. Feng explained to me the mental method of Yuanguang mirror (Xu Gongzi's note: This is temporarily omitted here, and I will introduce it when Ishino practices it.), but he didn't explain the formula.He said that this is the realm of "mirror flowers, water moon, light and shadow door" in Buddhism, and he himself does not know the formula.

The flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are empty, and the light and shadow are not left behind.

Although I don't understand Buddhism, I have heard some sayings in this regard.As soon as I heard the words "flowers in the mirror and moon in the water", I muttered in my heart.In the books, once the gods and monks mentioned the beauty in the mirror, they would vent their breath out of their nostrils, showing disapproval.Eleven out of ten people said that this is nothing, don't be addicted to it, etc., and the extra one was a sidekick.Feeling suspicious, he asked Feng Junzi this question.

Feng Junzi smiled: "You don't even know what is the mirror, the moon in the mirror, and why do you talk about seeing through the light and shadow? In fact, most of the clairvoyance talked about in Buddhism comes from this light and shadow. You are born with dark eyes, I have no reason I don’t want to teach you celestial eye clairvoyance. According to your childhood experience, you can often predict the future. That is a kind of wisdom eye. The formula, when you use it, you may encounter some troubles, so be prepared..."

When I encountered trouble in learning Taoism, I was already mentally prepared. Last time I was bitten by a snake and almost died!Regarding the thirteen heavenly catastrophes mentioned by Feng Junzi, I have already experienced the catastrophe of lust and physical suffering. The catastrophe between the medicine and the elixir is called "the catastrophe of the demon realm".Could it be that Mr. Feng taught me that the round light mirror is related to this demonic robbery?Anyway, I have already avoided the sixth heavenly tribulation later on. If it is a human tribulation, I can't avoid it if I want to, so I just need to be more careful.

No formula?I suddenly remembered that when Feng Junzi taught me "the sun never sets", he changed the formula on his own initiative, replacing a sentence of Lao Tzu with a sentence of God.In this way, as long as the realm is reached, it is a magic formula at your fingertips!If he can do it, why can't I?The mental method is the specific sequence of kung fu, and the oral formula is the realm that confirms the cultivation base.I happened to learn "Ode to Luoshen" in class today. It was about Cao Zhi meeting Luoshen. I'm afraid it's not just a coincidence!
I asked Feng Junzi: "I like the artistic conception of "Luo Shen Fu", can I use "Luo Shen Fu" as a formula?"

Feng Junzi stared at me for a long time: "This--this--this seems to be okay, but the formula is too long! You can do it if you want." (Mr. Xu Note: Shi Ye, boy, Began to realize it by myself.)
……

Cultivating the round light mirror in the Maoyou Zhoutian is actually adding a little more.Regardless of whether it is an entry or exit talisman, if you turn left or right, the binocular god will also rotate accordingly.Close your eyes when entering the fire, and open your eyes when retreating.The eyes are open but can't look at external objects, they can only rotate freely, and finally when the vitality in the body rises, the eyes are closed in front of the eyes. (Xu Gongzi's note: Everyone, take a look at each other, don't exaggerate too much.)
At this time, the ray of light appeared, and it was fixed in front of the eyes.Yuantuotuo, bright light, a round of bright moon is in front of you.At this point in kung fu, there are two branches, one is the righteous method, to practice fetal breathing and nourishing pills; the other is a small art, seeing shadows in the light, which is the round light mirror.The circular light mirror is a minor technique of Buddhism, not a great way. Mr. Feng made it very clear, but at the same time he said that minor techniques also have their uses.

……

I saw this round of the bright moon, but I didn't see the light and shadow in the bright moon - no Chang'e came to drink with me.On this day, after I finally completed the circular light mirror at Youshi, I climbed up from under the Zhuangyuan Bridge, straightened my clothes, and prepared to go back to school for evening self-study.From a distance, I saw a person coming from outside the school and walking towards the south gate of the school. The figure flickered a little. It was Zhou Song, a classmate in our class.

Of course I want to try the Taoism I just learned. Although Feng Junzi said that the round light mirror cannot be used indiscriminately, there should be no problem if I try it this time, right?With this thought, the body and mind move slightly, a circle of light appears in front of the eyes, and Zhou Song is as far as the consciousness is.Although I was mentally prepared, I was still taken aback by the scene in front of me.The round light in front of his eyes was like a mirror, and Zhou Song in the mirror was sitting on a narrow and hard bed that seemed to be made of gold in a big resplendent room, wearing a tattered suit, holding a broken bowl with a chip in it, A pair of ivory chopsticks are eating!

How is it such a weird scene?I retreated from the stillness in shock, the round light in front of me disappeared, and Zhou Song also walked into the gate of the school.The eye of the sky can see far and near, and the eye of wisdom can know the past and the future.But regardless of the distance or sequence, Zhou Song can't be like this!How is this going?

……

"Mr. Zhang, I saw a classmate in our class in the quiet light and shadow. I saw him wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, and eating in a golden house... What's going on?"

"Oh? There is such a thing. I think you should study psychology...Forget it, just kidding, people who study Taoism should not study that. What you see should be a gap between reality and mental appearance. As for what it means, I can’t figure it out.”

This is a conversation between me and Mr. Zhang at the head of Fenghuang Bridge.When I came to Mr. Zhang, I had many things to ask. First of all, I wanted to thank him for helping me at Qiyun Temple that day.If he hadn't appeared in time, even if Feng Junzi and Zhang Zhi could save Xiuxiu, it would not be so easy for me to escape.

After hearing my thanks, Mr. Zhang smiled wryly and said: "Little brother, you don't have to be polite with me. We are friends who forget the year. If I don't help you, can I still help Qi Yunguan? Besides, my daughter came to beg me. She doesn't ask me many things, I always want her to learn this and that... But I didn't expect that girl to set a fire... She is usually quite obedient, why does she behave like this when she gets into a fight? Too Out of line!"

I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.Based on my impression of Zhang Zhi, this girl has nothing to do with the word "beautiful". I am not surprised that she dared to set fire to Qiyun Temple.Perhaps parents in the world look at their children differently from others.Regardless of Zhang Zhi's obedience or not, I told him about Guangjiao Temple Gejujizan Living Buddha's request to see me, and finally asked him what he thought.

Mr. Zhang pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Shi Ye, Qi Yunguan hasn't come to trouble you so far. I'm afraid it's not as simple as giving me face. If it's just Daoist Hechen and Qi Yunguan's Taoist priests, I'd be fine." Don't be afraid, it's just the same as my Zhang family, but it will be different if you add the whole Zhengyimen."

In the words, Mr. Zhang saw that I already knew his origin, so he no longer concealed his origin.Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, things got more complicated after I made a fuss in Qiyun Temple, and it was no longer my business alone.I asked again: "Then why hasn't anyone looked for me yet? Is it because of the Living Buddha?"

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Well, that's one of the reasons, and another reason is that Zhengyi is afraid of your classmate who is a gentleman."

"Gentleman Feng! You said that the Zhengyi sect will be afraid of him? Even if he is very powerful, is he more powerful than the entire Zhengyi sect?"

Now I know the origin of Mr. Zhang, I also know the origin of Xuxiu, and at the same time I probably know the origin of Sister Ziying.But Mr. Feng, who has the deepest relationship with me, has always been unpredictable, and I still don't know his details!Where did he learn Taoism?Who is the master?Mr. Zhang's words aroused my curiosity. It is impossible for me to ask Mr. Feng himself these questions, and he would not answer them. I'd better ask Mr. Zhang here.

Mr. Zhang shook his head: "It's not that the Zhengmen are afraid of him, how can the dignified and Zhengmen be afraid of a child! The crux of the problem is that they don't know who did it! The only people who know that Gentleman Feng broke the formation are you, me, and Zhang Zhi." Zeren revealed your details with a flick of his sleeves, and the main target of Zhengyimen is obviously not you, but the hidden master in the dark!"

Mr. Zhang described Feng Junzi as a "hidden master".And explained it to me.It turns out that Zhengyimen's "Zhou Tianfu Demon Formation" has two types: sword formation and talisman formation.It is the sword formation that subdues Xixiu, and it can only be formed by 28 disciples with high mana. The so-called high mana is for ordinary people.And what traps Xixiu in the view is the talisman array, which is made up of 28 talisman vessels that have been refined in advance.

The talisman formation is dead, but people are alive. It is not difficult to break this kind of formation.Even an ordinary person who has not learned Taoism can break through the formation as long as he spends enough time and mobilizes enough manpower and material resources. For example, Mr. Zhang himself can break through the big formation of Zhou Tianfu Demon.However, according to Mr. Zhang, if he broke the formation empty-handed, it would take at least one day and one night!

Feng Junzi broke the formation empty-handed at that time, and Zhang Zhi was waiting outside.Feng Junzi went in, and came out holding Xiuxiu in a short while, almost in the blink of an eye!Although the Taoist priests of Qiyun Temple did not know the situation at that time, they could analyze it afterwards.Those who broke the formation took advantage of the chaos to sneak in, the time could not be too long, and there could not be too many people.The most frightening thing is that so many disciples in the audience didn't realize it!According to the news leaked by Qi Yunguan afterwards, the end of the Demon Subduing Formation was miserable. Not only was it broken, but even the 28 talismans that Zhengyi worked so hard to refine were also taken away!

Who has such supernatural powers?Even Lord Hechen himself might not be able to do it!In the past hundred years in Wucheng, among the high-level people known to people, those who have such cultivation can be counted with the fingers of one hand, and there are probably only three or five people.The first one is the head of the Zhengyi Sect, the master of Hechen Temple Master Shouzheng Zhenren, it is impossible for Shouzheng Zhenren to go to his own house to make trouble?The second one is Fa Hai, the current abbot Fa Yuan of Jiulin Temple (Xu Gongzi’s note: Damn, why is it also called Fa Hai! Could it be the one in "The Legend of the White Snake"?), this Zen Master Fa Hai is said to have already retreated He hasn't set foot in the world for decades, so it can't be him.Then the third one is Gejujizan Old Living Buddha of Guangjiao Temple.If he said that the old man went to Qiyun Temple to break the formation to steal the auspicious beast, it would be ridiculous to say it, no one would believe it!But at that time, his disciple Shang Yunfei happened to be in Qiyun Temple, and even stood up to speak for me.So there were some boring people discussing in secret, although the words didn't directly point to the Living Buddha, they had the meaning of guessing.

It seems that he has a great ability and a great reputation, and sometimes it is not entirely a good thing. Others have done bad things, and it is inevitable that some people will suspect him.The old living Buddha must have heard this kind of discussion, so he has to stand up and make a gesture both public and private.He asked Shang Yunfei to say hello to me, but he left. He clearly meant that he didn't want to see me for a short time. His intention was to let the bystanders have enough time to know about it and know that he wanted to see me.

Mr. Zhang guessed that when the living Buddha met me, he probably would not meet alone in private, but other people from the practice world would also be present.These people probably have an intention, just want me to tell who is the master behind me?Because under normal circumstances, if such a master is involved, it is not a matter of one or two people, it is likely to involve a big sect, and the problem will be complicated.So no matter whether it is Zhengyi sect or other practitioners who secretly pay attention to me, they have not acted rashly for the time being.It's like a game of chess, and the gentleman Feng who didn't show up is the most critical contender in the game.

I asked Mr. Zhang if I should go.Mr. Zhang said that I should go, but I can't just go quietly, but I have to go in a fair manner. It is best to go with drums and gongs, so that everyone can know that I am selfless in my heart.As for getting there, I will tell the original experience of Qiyunguan. Anyway, what I did in Qiyunguan has been seen by many eyes, and some of them are witnesses.As for other things, such as Feng Junzi breaking the formation and Zhang Zhi setting fire, don't say a word, even if you kill him!Anyway, they dare not kill me.

Mr. Zhang is worthy of being an old Jianghu. He analyzed this seemingly simple matter in a few words and explained clearly how I should deal with it. This is much better than Gentleman Feng. Just ask him.But whether his suggestion is correct or not, I feel that there is still a little selfishness.He asked me not to reveal Junzi Feng's name no matter what, but in fact I couldn't confess Zhang Zhi.Of course, even if he didn't remind me like this, I wouldn't tell Feng Junzi and Zhang Zhi. It's not good for them, and it's not good for me either.

Finally, Mr. Zhang asked me: "Shi Ye, what is the origin of your classmate Feng Junzi? What is his relationship with you? Do you know which sect he is a disciple of?"

This question was a big headache for me. I originally wanted to find out some details about Mr. Feng from Mr. Zhang, but he came to ask me.I replied: "A classmate, a good friend, he is also a practitioner. I don't know what school or sect. Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that you want to investigate him? Don't you know?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head and sighed: "For Zhang Zhi's sake, I also want to investigate this person. I even found out that he weighed seven pounds at birth and that the first sip his parents fed him was Huanglian Tang, but about this There is no information about the details of a person in the practice world. An ordinary middle school student is cleaner than a piece of white paper. In fact, it is wrong to investigate a cultivator in private like this. I also know the rule of 'don't ask'... just It’s like I never asked what school and school you came from, and who did you learn from.” (Xu Gongzi’s note: There was an ancient custom, but not everyone knows it. That is, the first bite of a newborn baby in the world should be What is it? Coptis chinensis is the most bitter in the world, so some parents do not breastfeed their babies for the first time after birth, but use Coptis chinensis. The intention is to taste the bitterness when they don’t know the bitterness, and then feel the sweetness even sweeter after the bitterness. There is also a There is a saying that if a baby drinks Coptis chinensis soup for the first time, the child will not develop poisonous carbuncle and boils.)
Mr. Zhang said that he never asked me about my background, and he looked at me when he spoke, implying that he hoped that I could tell him something.I had no choice but to pretend to be confused about this question and bow my head without answering.Seeing that I didn't answer his words, Mr. Zhang said again: "I won't ask you this question, but you have to be mentally prepared. When the time comes, go to Guangjiao Temple and think about what to say in front of everyone."

……

"Yunfei, I saw Zhou Song in the quiet light and shadow, I saw him wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, eating in a golden house... What's going on?"

This is my monk Yunfei talking.The location is his dormitory.At that time, there was no one else in his dormitory, so I told him that I was willing to see his master. As for the time and place, he would let me know, and I would definitely go.After talking about this matter, I suddenly remembered that I saw Zhou Song's vision in the round light mirror, so I couldn't help asking.Feng Junzi said that this is Buddhist kung fu, and he doesn't know the formula.Then it might be better to ask Yunfei, the fake monk.

When Shang Yunfei heard my words, his expression was a little disapproving, and he said lightly: "The way of immortals' longevity is after all a mirror image. In this light and shadow, it is illusory and unreal, so why are you obsessed with curiosity?"

He did it again, and this time I sent him to my door to teach him a lesson.But since I asked, I will ask to the end: "Yunfei, I heard that Buddhism has the most research on this, so please explain to me."

Shang Yunfei said I was probably a little curious himself.Hearing my questioning, he didn't speak, but took out a piece of white paper from the wooden shelf nailed to the head of the bed, and tore it into a circle.I saw him put the round paper in front of his eyes, and then let go - the paper didn't land on the ground, but was fixed in mid-air!

Seeing my surprised look, Shang Yunfei showed a slightly smug expression. He closed his eyes and bowed his head for a moment, then opened his eyes and raised his head and waved at the round paper. A miracle happened.Light and shadow appeared in this round paper!This light is not the light that shines out, but the paper becomes transparent and looks like a mirror.I looked into the mirror and saw Zhou Song at a glance!
