After dawn the next day, Shen Lian was still no different from the past. Ruo Xi only thought that everything last night was just a dream.
Today, her brother started asking her to observe objects, and the objects were her bracelets.
The bracelet was placed on the table, making her imagine that there was a kind of energy between heaven and earth, which focused on the nine beads as she thought.
It was boring, and she didn't want to play for a while, but her brother became unusually strict and didn't let her stop until she couldn't hold it anymore.
When she practiced the word 'Yong' again, she felt extremely relaxed, and her body became much lighter with each stroke.
In fact, the origin of spiritual practice lies in this. At the beginning of ancient times, no one preached it, but there were still people who were able to obtain extraordinary power and even break the limitations of life and death.
Just because suddenly one day, someone or some people suddenly had a whim and imagined that there is another force in the world that can follow the command of thoughts and do some extraordinary things.
All things are born from being, and being is born from nothing.
Qingxuan emphasized that "if you want to cultivate your behavior, you must first cultivate your mind", which is also due to this aspect.
The spirit relies on matter, but if the spirit is strong enough to reach a certain level, it can in turn affect matter. The Buddha talked about enlightenment in dreams, and Zhuang Zhou talked about dreaming of butterflies. This is probably the case.
Ruo Xiyuan could not understand this truth, but calligraphy, which used to be boring, suddenly became happy, but there was one more thing that was more painful than practicing calligraphy before.
The day's plan begins in the morning. If you get up very early to do things, the time will seem very long.
Because the speed of time is sometimes determined by the amount of experience.
Ruoxi felt that she had done a lot today, but in fact, the morning was only half over. She was lying on the small table boredly, and suddenly heard a strange wooden fish sound. It seems far away, yet it seems close to my ears. After hearing this, Ruoxi felt her whole body relaxed, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she finally fell into a deep sleep without falling asleep.
Shen Lian was in danger of life and death, but it was not in front of him. His life, just like the sun in the sky, had not yet reached its most blazing moment.
When the sound of wooden fish sounded, he went out. He flashed across the street like a ghost and soon reached the river.
On the wide Anping Canal, boats come and go. The most eye-catching thing is not the small boats in the river, but the Yujing Bridge across the long river.
The view of the long river is protected by a bridge. The bridge was built at an appropriate location to connect the sacred city divided by water, making it majestic.
It looks like a stone arch bridge, with an old monk standing on the edge of the stone bridge, and pedestrians coming and going behind him. It has the meaning of "people are walking on the bridge, but the bridge is not flowing".
When Shen Lian walked slowly from the river, it seemed that the scenery behind him was gradually becoming illusory. This was not a scene in reality, but a spiritual feeling.
The old monk also turned his gaze from the river to Shen Lian in an instant.
He was naturally Kuhui, holding a silver-gray wooden fish in his hand. Shen Lian had seen this wooden fish many years ago. At that time, he was still very weak. The wooden fish is called "Taiwei", among the Qingxuan, the "Taiwei" of Taiwei Pavilion.
The sound it makes is called the soul-fixing sound, which is difficult for people without spiritual intelligence to hear. At that time, 'Taiwei' was in Ling Chongxiao's hands, and many years ago, it was in Qingxuan's hands.
Without light, the world is darkness. But in the spiritual world, the light of the material world cannot penetrate.
If Shen Lian closes his eyes, he can find that the old monk is a light.
There is a Buddhist scripture that says that practice is to light a lamp, the lamp will not go out, and the spiritual platform will not be ignorant.
As a person grows older and his body continues to decay, it will indeed become more and more difficult to make progress in Qi-nurturing skills such as Zhou Tian, but the cultivation at the soul level will not stop.
It's just that cultivating the soul is much more difficult than cultivating Qi. Buddhism does not pay attention to physical liberation, but is committed to the liberation of the soul. The practice in this area is indeed better than Taoism in general.
But Shen Lian is different from ordinary Taoist monks. His greatest advantage lies in his soul.
Ku Hui saw Shen Lian again after many years, and the shock he felt was far beyond what others could understand. When he and Shen Lian looked at each other, he seemed to see the boundless sea. Even though the waves were calm, once the waves were lifted, The wind and rain were enough to break him to pieces.
The passers-by around them couldn't notice anything strange about the two of them. When Ku Hui was stunned, Shen Lian followed a breeze and came to Ku Hui's side.
"I haven't seen you in sixteen years." Shen Lian's voice was as young as his appearance.
His tone was calm and easy-going, like the white clouds reflected in the river.
Ku Hui said: "I didn't expect you to remember it clearly."
"It's just my talent that allows me to remember."
"Do you still remember Ye Liuyun?" Ku Hui smiled.
"He is an interesting person, even more outstanding than me in some aspects, but I was not born in this world to compete with others." Shen Lian's Taoist clothes were fluttering and empty.
Ku Hui thought that even if Shen Lian had been seeking Taoism for more than ten years, it would be difficult for her to compete with the empress, but at this moment she was shaken.
It's not that Shen Lian has shown his unparalleled edge, but that Shen Lian now has a trace of the Taoist saying: "The husband is the only one who doesn't fight, so no one in the world can fight with him."
He finally said: "Your Majesty would like to see you at Xiangji Temple the day after tomorrow."
Shen Lian said: "His Majesty seems to be really powerful. He didn't even need to summon me in the imperial city." If the emperor was in the imperial city, where the earth's energy gathered and the will of all living beings could make a mind like Shen Lian's. People with profound cultivation are greatly suppressed.
If Shen Lian is too afraid to come, it can also cast a shadow on his heart.
The empress gave up her advantageous home court and chose to summon Shen Lian elsewhere, which showed how confident she was.
Ku Hui said: "Actually, since you have already left the secular world, why bother entering the mud again? Your Majesty's methods are no longer comparable to those of ordinary monks. The old monk still hopes that you will be more cautious."
What he meant was that he wanted Shen Lian not to go, but he didn't say it directly.
If there was a difference in strength between Shen Lian and the Empress, he would not dissuade him, because with his knowledge, he could no longer tell who had the overwhelming advantage between the two.
If there is a conflict, it will be of no benefit to the two of them, and it will be of no benefit to the great Zhou Dynasty.
When something happened to the Zhou Dynasty, the people were the most unlucky.
Shen Lian said: "There is no need to mention this matter again. I am a little curious about your majesty. Once I meet him, it doesn't matter. Master, can you give me this wooden fish?"
Ku Hui said: "This 'Tai Wei' was originally meant to be returned to you, otherwise why would I have brought it here."
The silver-gray wooden fish was handed to Shen Lian by Ku Hui, and Shen Lian took it back. Where did it come from, and where should it go. However, this wooden fish was by no means an ordinary magic weapon. It was living abroad back then. Why didn't Qingxuan recover it? This was the question in Shen Lian's mind.
