Chapter 559 The Birth of a New Generation of the King of Rolls
Jiangxi's heroes and auspicious signs, do you think I'm stupid... Zhang Huaiyi half-squinted his eyes, glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, and said:
"Brother just told me to be braver, don't be like Jiangxi Jerry. Jiangxi is a place name, so Jerry should mean timid."
You can fool Xiaotian, but you can't fool the big-eared thief... Zhang Zhiwei smiled and gave a thumbs up: "You guessed right, you look stupid, but you're not stupid at all!"
"Why is it called Jerry?" Zhang Huaiyi asked curiously: "Is there any allusion?"
Zhang Zhiwei explained: "Some knowledgeable scholars call Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms Jiangdong Jerry."
Zhang Huaiyi suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a rat, a Jiangdong rat living in a corner. Jiangdong is opposite to Jiangxi. Brother, you are quite good at metaphors."
Being called a rat by Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi didn't think it was an offense. He liked rats very much. They can hide and are smart. What's wrong? The master said he was a rat!
In his opinion, mice and lions are just different in character, and there is no high or low. Sometimes, mice can accomplish more than lions, such as this time.
"By the way, Huaiyi, did the master prepare some protective items for you?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.
"Just some talismans!" Zhang Huaiyi smiled.
He did not say what the talismans were, and Zhang Zhiwei did not ask. He was not a very curious person.
"It's getting late, and it's still a long way to Wen County. I won't delay any longer!"
Zhang Huaiyi said goodbye to his fellow apprentices, then put on the magic armor and horse, took a step of more than ten meters, like riding the wind, and disappeared on the mountain in a blink of an eye.
Everyone looked at the direction where Zhang Huaiyi was going and asked Zhang Zhiwei why Zhang Huaiyi went down the mountain to Qingyun Temple in Wen County?
Zhang Zhiwei had an urge to explain, but he quickly refined this thought and lightly brushed off the topic.
This is the ability of the inner sage and outer king realm, where the mind sits high on the spiritual platform, overlooking the entire body, and is not affected by one's own delusions.
This delusion refers not only to external interference, but also to some not-so-good emotions generated by oneself.
For this kind of emotion, Zhang Zhiwei can see it intuitively and make a choice.
This process is like fishing, he sits on the fishing platform and fishes.
Those external thoughts and his own thoughts are like fish vying to be hooked in the water.
He can choose to catch the fish of this emotion, accept this emotion subjectively, or ignore it, or even extinguish this emotion.
This is why many Taoist masters give people a sense of ruthlessness.
They ignore these emotions and have been in a state of sitting high on the spiritual platform, not being disturbed by any thoughts. Whether it is hatred or love from the outside world, it cannot affect him. Isn't it ruthless?
It can be said that in this state, what the self consciousness wants to do, it can be completed most perfectly by itself without any interference.
In Confucianism, this is called the state of unity of knowledge and action by Wang Yangming.
Zhang Zhiwei was in this state, but in most cases, he did not do so.
In order to preserve his true nature, he would catch those emotional fish that jumped out of the water, and sense their joy, anger, sorrow, and warmth.
This made him look very human, not so high and mighty, and out of touch with the world.
Therefore, if Zhang Zhiwei did not want to be a big mouth, he would not say a word even if the sky fell.
The brothers asked for a while, and seeing that they could not get any information from Zhang Zhiwei, they thought that he did not know the specific reason, so they stopped asking and continued to work.
Lu Jin and Lu Ci were both gifted people. It didn't take long for them to get into the groove and master Zhang Zhiwei's hoeing skills.
The work lasted until noon. If there were no special arrangements, they could arrange the next period of time by themselves.
The Taoists started chatting in twos and threes. Some were practicing boxing, some were drawing talismans, practicing magic...
As the scroll king of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei usually tempered his life until the evening class, and today was no exception.
As for Lu Jin and Lu Ci...
Lu Jin was practicing the Tiantong Finger he had just learned, hoping to get back at Lu Ci with this method.
Although Lu Ci had heard of this method during the morning class, he did not learn it. A person's energy is limited. If you want to accomplish something, you must make choices.
He has already got what he wanted. The next step is to perfect it better, instead of picking up shells like picking up shells on the beach.
At this moment, Lu Ci is still hoeing the earth. After the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound has been completed, he can better perceive the subtle changes in himself.
He keenly discovered that when he dug the ground, his heart was particularly calm, and tempering his life was particularly efficient.
This discovery surprised him. Before, he had taken a good posture and deliberately entered into a state of concentration to temper his life, but it was difficult to calm down, resulting in a lack of deep concentration.
This made him very distressed. He had always known the importance of cultivating his life, but because of his impetuousness, he was inefficient in tempering his life.
But when he was practicing the hoeing skill, he was surprised to find that even if he did not take a posture of concentration like Wuxin Xiangtian, even if he did not deliberately pursue tranquility, but just devoted himself to digging the ground, his life cultivation increased particularly fast.
This kind of speed is not felt by ordinary people, just like sometimes being in a daze, it is obviously just a trance, but it has passed for a long time.
Being in a daze has a time as a measure, while the cultivation of life is a slow process, which requires a long time of accumulation to have very obvious changes.
Many people don’t feel this, so they regard this skill as a fake trick for digging fields.
Through Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, Lv Ci practiced Kung Fu to the bone marrow, and his self-control ability was very strong, so he felt it.
This surprised him so much that he didn’t care about resting and turned into a digging maniac.
Lu Jin was puzzled by Lv Ci’s behavior, but he didn’t disturb him or join him, and continued to practice Tongtian Finger.
Zhang Zhiwei secretly praised Lv Ci for being smart. The reason why the hoeing skill has such an effect is still two words in the final analysis-let go.
The more you care about something, the easier it is to lose it, and the more relaxed it is, the easier it is to get it.
Let go of the posture of entering meditation, let go of the concept of tranquility, don’t think about it, and hoe the field with peace of mind, your heart will naturally be calm, and your practice will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.
Lv Ci dug until the evening, until Zhang Zhiwei asked him to go to the evening class, he was in a trance for a while, ended his practice, put down the hoe, and looked up at the sky.
The sky had darkened a lot, and the sun was about to set, which surprised Lv Ci. He clearly remembered that the sun was still shining brightly just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was almost dark.
"What a hearty practice!"
Lv Ci understood that this was a manifestation of deep meditation. He was full of smiles on his face, wiped his sweat, and found that his whole body was wet, and his stomach was empty, as if he could eat a cow, so he wanted to eat.
Zhang Zhiwei told him that dinner would be after the evening class, so he had to bear it for now.
How could Lv Ci, who was so hungry, bear it? He asked Zhang Zhiwei if he could eat something in advance to fill his stomach?
Zhang Zhiwei patted his shoulder and told him that when he was very hungry, he had to remember that it was the time to practice.
Lv Ci had no choice but to go to the evening class on an empty stomach. The content of the evening class was still taught by Zhang Zhiwei on behalf of the teacher, teaching Tiantongzhi.
Zhang Zhiwei's evening class was more casual, without so many red tape.
If it is a normal evening class, you need to burn incense and light candles first, and then Buxuyunqiang, that is, chanting the Taoist scriptures in a rhythm that seems like singing and reading, and explaining the scriptures. These are called Taoist rituals, which are old rules passed down from ancient times to the present.
When the evening class is over, it is dinner time. Before eating, Lu Jin and Lu Ci were still very reserved, but now they have perfectly integrated into it, just like a starving ghost reincarnated, without any sense of being a guest.
After eating and drinking, it was dark. The mountains were hard, and everyone was used to going to bed early. Zhang Zhiwei went back to the chariot room to practice.
Lu Jin and Lu Ci lived in the guest room.
During the day, Lu Jin practiced the Tiantong Finger taught by Zhang Zhiwei. At night, he sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced the three levels of Nisheng. This was his daily compulsory course without fail.
Lu Ci boiled a bucket of hot water and prepared a bathtub. He was lying in it to take a bath. The heat enveloped him, and his brows were relaxed. It was definitely a very enjoyable thing to take a bath after working all day.
Lu Ci clenched his fists and a series of explosions sounded all over his body. His muscles and bones rang together, and the water in the wooden barrel began to tremble like an electric shock.
This is the effect of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, which strengthens himself from the inside out. Coupled with the previous hoeing skills, the two add up to an effect of one plus one greater than two.
"This state..."
Lu Ci was excited. He had never understood himself so thoroughly and felt his own power like now.
He closed his eyes and meditated. He could clearly feel the thunder in his body, like the spring thunder, and the spring thunder blew, and all things revived. His body was awakened by the spring thunder.
"It works. To prevent Lao Lu from catching up, I have to keep working hard!"
Lu Ci jumped out of the bathtub on a whim, put on a sweat shirt, and went out with a hoe. He took advantage of the night to come to the fields of Longhu Mountain and dug.
On the other side, in Wen County, not far from the downtown, there is a small Taoist temple called Qingyun Temple.
Qingyun Temple has true cultivation, the Taoist priests inside are quite capable, and the incense is also very prosperous. The incense money received is not a small number, but for some reason, Qingyun Temple has never expanded.
At first, a big landlord in the county thought that the Taoist temple was built in the city and it was inconvenient to expand, so he proposed to donate a piece of land to Qingyun Temple so that they could build a larger Taoist temple, but it was also rejected by the Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple. Everyone was puzzled.
Some people said that Qingyun Temple was built here to guard something. If it moved, the things inside would run out and the people would suffer.
Others said that the Taoist priests in Qingyun Temple did this for better cultivation. Isn’t there a saying called "hiding in the city"...
In short, there are all kinds of sayings.
At this moment, in Qingyun Temple, purple smoke rose from the incense burner, and a Taoist priest was wandering in circles in the yard, tirelessly, as if it was set.
Suddenly, a yellow paper crane fluttered its wings and flew over. The Taoist priest, who was wandering woodenly, jumped up suddenly as if he had touched a mechanism and grabbed the paper crane.
The Taoist priest looked at the paper crane in his hand, his eyes rolling around, and then he ran out like crazy.
His running posture was very strange, giving people a feeling of lightness and heels not touching the ground.
The Taoist priest ran all the way to a large mansion, bypassed the dozing guard at the door, climbed over the wall lightly, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
The Taoist priest pushed open the door, walked quickly to the woman in the red skirt, leaned over and handed over the paper crane in his hand.
The woman in the red skirt took it, spread out the paper crane and read the information in it.
The young officer who lived next door noticed the movement and went out in his military coat to ask:
"What happened?"
The woman in the red dress frowned and said, "Longhushan sent a person and said he wanted to check the seal."
The young officer's eyes flashed: "Did they notice something?"
The woman in the red dress shook her head: "It seems not. The Dragon and Tiger Association doesn't care much about this matter. It's normal for the seal to lose its effectiveness after a hundred years. Most of the monsters contained within have been destroyed."
"But to be on the safe side, they sent a disciple to check. If it is confirmed that the monster is gone, Qingyun Temple does not have to stay here all the time. They can find another pure place to build the temple. If it is confirmed that the monster has escaped, Longhu Mountain Someone will be sent to hunt him down!"
The young officer was overjoyed: "So, as long as we deal with the Taoist priest who came to check, we can sit back and relax?"
But immediately, he frowned and said, "Is there a fraud in this? Will the people who come see through your arrangement?"
The woman in the red dress pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said: "The letter from Longhu Mountain doesn't pay much attention to the situation here. If it's some great master, it's a scam, but it's just a junior Taoist priest with no reputation." That’s all.”
"The letter says that this little Taoist priest's name is Zhang Huaiyi. According to the information I bought from the tavern, this person should have just been given the pseudonym not long ago."
"In such a short period of time, I'm afraid I haven't learned all the thunder techniques, so what kind of deception can there be? If the guy named Zhang Zhiwei comes, then that's called deception."
"As for seeing through my arrangement, let alone a little Taoist priest, even a contemporary heavenly master may not be able to see through it." The woman in the red dress was full of confidence.
The young officer asked: "Is it possible that the little Taoist priest is just a cover, with a few old guys behind him?"
The woman in the red dress looked at her disdainfully:
"Idiot, it's useless for you to lead troops to fight. If Longhushan really does this, it means they have discovered the situation here."
"Then they just sent a few old masters to come quietly. Why did they take off their pants and fart, and then send a junior to take the lead?"
"Since they sent juniors here, it means they didn't find it, or they weren't sure if there was a problem."
"They haven't found the best. If they are unsure, then let this uncertainty become a certainty that there is no problem!"
The young officer lowered his head and said nothing. He was actually the chief of staff of the warlord. After meeting the woman in the red dress, he used her methods to kill his superior and became the commander.
As a wise general, he naturally doesn't understand these things, but if he cares about them, he will be confused and lose his sense.
Then, the woman in the red dress began to cast spells and assigned three Taoist priests from Qingyun Temple to welcome Zhang Huaiyi's arrival.
…………
…………
In the early morning, in the mountain forest not far from Wenxian County, a figure flew out of the sky, spanning more than 20 meters in one step, as light as a fallen leaf, it was Zhang Huaiyi.
"Wenxian County is ahead of us. Next we have to go to Qingyun Temple to explore. Master said that the talismans of the fellow disciples in Qingyun Temple are still there. This means that they are fine, at least their lives are not in danger. They are fine. If I go , it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"However, I still have to be cautious. As a member of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao General Forum, I can't act too weak or go too far, which will arouse suspicion. I can't act too strong, as that will be too purposeful..."
After thinking for a while, the image of Tian Jinzhong came to mind. Among all the brothers, he had the best relationship with Tian Jinzhong, was the most familiar, and was the best to imitate.
Zhang Huaiyi immediately adjusted his Qi to a point where it was only slightly stronger than Tian Jinzhong, and then entered the city towards Qingyun Temple.
