Everyone couldn't help laughing following the burst of laughter. After they laughed, everyone looked at each other with weird looks, and then all made a big flush in embarrassment. Suddenly, he became angry and glared at the old man one by one.
The old man saw that everyone was showing his nature, then the old man shook his sleeve and left with a cool smile.
Everyone, Master Zhou was afraid that he would offend this rare worldly expert, and he didn't want to offend these slightly cultivated practitioners, so he hurried forward to relax.
"Cough cough!" Master Zhou hurriedly resolved the embarrassment, and said to everyone, "The next official has important matters today, and I am not allowed to accompany you. Everyone is going to say goodbye, and we will say goodbye in the future. Goodbye, goodbye." Then sit down and say goodbye to a few people one by one.
Master Zhou's sturdy outsiders were all chosen by him, and he didn't want to offend him easily.
So after bidding farewell to everyone, Master Zhou followed the old man with reluctance. The speed of the old man was very fast. Master Zhou chased after he shouted, but the old man seemed to be over a hundred years old and stayed with the wind. This week, the master was chasing after him for a long time, and then he barely allowed the old man to stop.
Running out of breath, Master Zhou came to the old man respectfully and bowed deeply, "Old god, I have some doubts and I want to ask the old god."
Master Zhou intends to invite the old man to accompany him, on the one hand to explore the art of immortality, on the other hand, he also wants to be like the old man, detached from the world, and learn the method of birth.
Hearing Master Zhou's invitation, the old man didn't even turn away. He looked at Master Zhou happily, his complexion still ruddy and said, "Yeah! Good! You and I are also destined."
Master Zhou immediately smiled at the old man when he heard that he was predestined, and said, "You are fortunate enough to meet the old gods. There is indeed a predestined relationship. For someone like you, you can never meet, you must be predestined, and be predestined."
It was also precisely because of the traction of Master Zhou and this line of fate that the old man accidentally adopted Yixian, picked up the second brother, and led to the thousand-year battle between the fish group and the demon domain, and when the Zhengmo was on the peak again, The devil has to meet the big apprentice. Wait a minute, these are all things to follow, let us slowly unfold the picture scroll of the story, and realize between righteousness and evil, life and death.
Master Zhou enthusiastically invited the white-clothed old man back to the government office, and asked him for advice and study day by day, and the old man was not stingy in enlightening and explaining.
The usual food and clothing of the elderly is very simple, basically vegetarian, thick tea and light rice, and the appetite is very small, one mouthful of rice is enough.
Master Zhou secretly observed all the behavior of the old man.
The old man basically did not go out in the Zhou Mansion, and would meditate quietly on a large flat rock in the garden every day. One is just a few hours.
I saw that the elders usually choose the time before sunrise and at the time of three strokes of the moon. He quietly came to the big rock in the backyard, took a deep breath, then exhaled it gently, and then took another deep breath. Then spit out slowly. Repeat this three times, then hang your eyes slightly, palms facing each other, and cross them on your legs.
The look looks like a sculpture. Under the moonlight, the old man meditates motionlessly. It takes more than two hours for every one. During the period, he still keeps his eyes closed. Even if the cold wind blows, the old man is motionless, as if happening outside. Everything has nothing to do with me.
Master Zhou saw the old man meditate every day, and he didn't see any alchemy behavior. He was strange in his heart. He hid beside the big tree behind the old man, and he kept asking various questions in his heart.
"Ah! Your noisy old ways can't meditate quietly anymore." The old man suddenly spoke.
Master Zhou, who was hiding behind the tree, shuddered suddenly and almost sat on the ground. Master Zhou stood up in a panic, trembling, came to the old man and bowed deeply. The old man still sat with his eyes closed and didn't seem to look at him at all, but his every move and all his inner activities were clear to the old man. .
Master Zhou bowed to the old man three times and said: "Old god, you know, I want to ask you if this is a natural supernatural power, or is it caused by the day after tomorrow?"
"Let's go in the house and talk about it! Now the sun and the moon have passed, and here is the same in the same house. The old way also wants to taste the fine tea you just bought." The old man opened his eyes slightly and slowly Said, the voice was thick and round, very powerful.
Master Zhou frowned and was startled in his heart. He blurted out: "This is the Shanghao Longjing I just entered the mansion today. Only I know about this. I never thought that the old god would not know the prophet."
"There is mystery hidden in the yin and yang, and there is another knowledge in everything. In your heart is my heart, and after you is my front."
The old Dao gently lifted his clothes and slowly got up and walked down the stone. The posture was unusually chic, light and fluttering like clouds passing by, slowly like flowers blooming, with white hair, white beard and white clothes, and white light under the moonlight. , Or it will be thought that the god of the palace came to the world.
When Master Zhou saw this strange posture, he didn't dare to make any mistakes. He immediately followed the old man into Master Zhou's study.
That week, the master was an upright official, and his life was not very rich. This time, Shanghao Longjing was also a gift from others.
This tea is also the top grade in Longjing, green in color, fragrant, sweet in taste, and beautiful in shape. It was picked before the Ming Dynasty. Before the Ming Dynasty, Longjing was the best product of Longjing tea. The output was very small and it was extremely expensive. The best of Longjing tea ~ Shifeng Longjing!
I saw Master Zhou taking out a package of things from a tightly wrapped box. He opened the package carefully, and a scent of sweetness popped out instantly. Looking at the tea, which had been specially processed, the tea was pinched in his hand. Clear and slippery, after using the manual, the hand will leave a lingering fragrance!
Master Zhou secretly said: "This Lion Peak Longjing really deserves its reputation!"
He sniffed the hand that he had moved the tea with satisfaction, then smelt the fragrance with his hand fan, and kept nodding his head, seeming to enjoy it.
The old man was sitting on a chair in the study, quietly crossing his hands on his lap, sitting quietly. At this moment, the old man lightly lifted the tip of his nose and suddenly felt a refreshing breath. The old man opened his eyes and said, "Good tea, good tea."
After hearing this, Master Zhou hurriedly replied: "This is left over from the tribute dedicated to the emperor. My friend was grateful to me for helping him avenge his grievances and revenge for a long time, so he was grateful in his heart for a long time, so he tried his best to get this good dragon well. It is also to repay me."
"I don't like money, but I look for poetry and tea art, and I especially like good tea and good people. Hey, old god, don't laugh!"
As Master Zhou said, he quickly brewed Longjing with boiling water. This week the master took out his purple clay pot, first poured hot boiling water into a fair cup, and then rinsed the purple clay pot with boiling water. But I saw that the purple clay pot was steaming, and at the same time it aroused a scent of tea.
Then put Longjing tea in the teapot, then lift the fair cup high and pour it down, and a strong tea fragrance instantly diffuses.
This week the master dragged the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and held the cup with his right hand, and immediately brought the brewed Longjing tea to the old man. The old man seemed to be an expert.
The old man looked at the spinning and rotating camellia in the cup, his nose was slightly close to the cup, and he smelled it, then put his mouth on the side of the cup, took a bite from the cup, and rolled up the tip of his tongue to let the tea smell in the mouth. Then swallow gently.
Sure enough, it is Shifeng Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, and it really deserves its reputation. The different tea from Shuiyuewan doesn't have such a taste. The old man nodded while sipping tea.
Master Zhou cautiously waited on the side, just like the emperor. After a few cups of tea, the old man seemed very satisfied, so he had a long conversation with Master Zhou.
The old man gently twisted his one-foot-long white beard, and looked at Master Zhou with piercing eyes.
"I know that you are a good person and a person of immortality. The world doesn't understand you. You don't want to avenge your family. It's not that you are ruthless and hateless. It's just that you have seen through the red dust and you don't want to be destiny. Chess pieces."
"You blame yourself every day, and you can't redress the wrongs for your family, but you don't want to be the person who repays the wrongs, and you don't want your offspring to bear debts, or fate to tease you."
"When is the retribution of grievances, the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is unhappy. You can be comfortable when you see through it as soon as possible. The world is not as simple as it seems. The yin and yang revolve, and chances are in harmony. People are always confused by the surface they see."
"And you, a person who understands, can also be regarded as destined to my Dao Sect. Now I will tell you the question of immortality."
The old man had never said so much. For some reason, he was eloquent and eloquent that day. He not only told Master Zhou the principles of the great way, but also told him about life and longevity.
The old man took a sip of tea, then took a bit of aftertaste, and said slowly.
"Where there is immortality in the world, it's just that the world deceives itself and others. Even if it is a cultivated person, they can live forever, that is beyond the scope of human beings. That is to say, if they really get to that point, they will no longer be human. ."
"And if ordinary mortals want to cultivate like this, they must be reborn and rebuilt. This process is equivalent to one death and rebirth. How can mortals be able to achieve the difficulties and obstacles during this period."
"Just because of love, there are countless deaths in battle. People are born because of emotion, are trapped by emotion, rise for emotion, are obsessed with emotion, but also lose their nature in the emotion, clinging to love and hatred, it is difficult to awaken, and it is difficult to awaken. Self-extrication, a little bit of love, the three souls will not be guarded, and the seven orifices will be scattered."
"And this practice is the most jealous of emotions, the roots of emotions are not preserved, the roots of movement are illusions, and the illusions are all kinds of obsessives. Connect, talk about how to achieve success in practice."
"Lust! Lute is a bone-scraping steel knife. Remember to not be a leaky body in practice. Refining qi, refining qi to transform gods, refining gods, refining the emptiness, and refining the emptiness, this is the fundamental way of my Taoist practice. Essence and energy are the three elements of the human body, which also corresponds to the three elements of people of the day and the earth. Only when the three elements are gathered together can be reborn, and when the three flowers gather together, the five elements can rebel against the innate."
"And this color is the root of leakage. How can the innate qi if there is leakage, just like that gourd, if the person is a gourd, then if there is leakage, then there is a hole under the gourd. How about a gourd with a hole? Can it be filled with water? The same is true for being angry with the body."
"Like the man under that day, he is full of yang. If he can cleanse his body and protect himself from the evil and filthy things, then he can be successful in his cultivation. How many men in the world can resist the yang and be agitated by things, not to mention that the surface is Yang is agitated by things, but in fact it is three corpses and nine insects."
The old man talked about the process of cultivation from Dao and life, and also talked about the relationship between spirit, energy and the three-dimensional foundation. Master Zhou on the side has never heard such profound principles of Dao.
The so-called high-ranking people he had made in the past were also people who practiced alchemy and meditated, and had never told himself the details of the practice process.
The old man’s words seemed to be shining brightly in Master Zhou’s heart. Master Zhou felt that his body was like that water gourd, and the old man’s words followed his whole body. Go down.
