Luo Fu

Chapter 28: Practice

Views:

In the world of Luobei, there is no such word as fawning. Before being taken to Luofu by Yuan Tianyi, no one would be foolish enough to curry favor with a beggar who may die suddenly in the wilderness due to hunger or disease at any time. Even after arriving in Luofu, What Luo Bei faced was the everlasting barrenness, and he never knew what kind of concept a Luo Fu disciple was to the monastic sects in the world.

But Luo Bei, who doesn't know what flattery is, can clearly feel that Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan have completely different attitudes towards him and Linhang, and Luobei's nature makes him feel that he doesn't like Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan. Ling Dongshan is like this. Looking at Lin Hang who lowered his head under the contemptuous gazes of Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan, who looked even more humble and thin, Luo Bei suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Lin Hang, have you had dinner yet?"

"..." Lin Hang raised his head in astonishment.

"Thank you for sending me food for the past few days." Under the equally astonished gazes of Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan, Luo Bei got up and said, "If Senior Brother Lin Hang hasn't eaten, how about we eat together?"

"Luo...Luobei...Master...Junior brother...You..." Under the shock of his heart, Lin Hang's sentence was even more incomplete, because in the past two years, apart from Luobei, there are very few other masters. The brother had treated him so kindly like Luo Bei, let alone invited him to eat at the same table as a friend.

Human favors are as thin as paper! Although Lin Hang is not very old, he has already seen a lot of human feelings. Originally, when Lin Hang arrived in Shushan two years ago, his stuttering was not so serious, nor was he lame. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen to be Shushan's disciple. Although he stuttered a bit, Lin Hang was gifted and intelligent, and his memory was also excellent among the many teachers and brothers. He was often the first or two to recite the scriptures for the day's homework. One day, in a valley of Mount Shu, he found a herb that looked very similar to the Aescinus aescini that was said to have miraculous effects in relieving cold and poison in the Danyao Jing in his homework. So he wanted to pick this herb back and show it to Senior Brother Qinglian who was in charge of imparting the elixir sutra to see if it was the Aescinus aescini. A green poisonous snake is entrenched. When someone found him, he was already unconscious. Although the snake venom was quickly removed by the teacher, because it took too long, the snake venom penetrated deep into the bone marrow and meridians. The muscle meridians on his right leg bitten by the poisonous snake were somewhat necrotic. Legs are still lame.

In addition to reciting scriptures and knowing the truth, the basic foundation building homework of Shushan is to strengthen the body and exercise the skin and bones. This homework of strengthening the body and exercising the skin and bones, in addition to some daily physical exercises to hone the will, is some boxing routines that are advanced for ordinary people in the world, but shallow for ascetics.

Originally, with Lin Hang's talent, even if he did not leave others far behind, at least he would not lag behind too much in his practice progress, but after Lin Hang's leg became lame, for example, in some boxing routines, for ordinary disciples It is very difficult for him to do very simple postures such as waist turning, chicken back, and bear scripture.

As a result, his practice progress is far behind all the senior brothers.

When he can't finish his homework and is still practicing what others are already familiar with, he often becomes the object of ridicule by his brothers. Even the stuttering that the brothers didn't laugh at before became an aspect of the brothers' ridicule.

The brothers gradually alienated him, and he became more and more inferior, self-closing, and stuttering. The more so, he became a misfit in the eyes of the brothers... a waste!

During the two years of practice, the rest of the brothers exchanged their experiences with each other, but he was withdrawn and inferior, and after two years of practice, the result was really not as good as a disciple who had started for three months. The teachers of the law have already given up any hope in him, and gradually they used to treat him as a co-worker and a servant.

Even many disciples who are new to Shushan look down on him, but now in Luobei, they invite him to have dinner together.

Moreover, Lin Hang saw that Luobei's eyes were very sincere, without any affectation or hypocrisy.

With a "grunt", Lin Hang has indeed not eaten yet. He also heard that Luobei is a disciple valued by the entire Geli, and even the entire Shushan Mountain. He is also afraid that he will miss Luobei's meal time these days, which will attract the attention of the teacher. He scolded, so he sent it over before he ate it. Right now, he didn't know what it was like, and when he couldn't speak a word, his stomach screamed.

"Senior Brother Lin Hang, it seems that you haven't had dinner yet." Hearing the voice in his stomach, Luo Bei said sincerely, "If Senior Brother Lin Hang is willing, bring it later and eat with me. "

"Why does Luobei treat this waste so well?"

Some people who have never experienced the sufferings of the world often have an innate sense of superiority, just like some sects that are far inferior to Shushan, and even monks who have practiced for a long time should understand a lot of truths, but in When dealing with small sects that are far inferior to them, there will always be an unconscious condescending attitude. In fact, the rule of heaven that Yuan Tianyi instilled in Luobei is that the weak eat the strong. There is nothing wrong with it to a large extent. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, But in fact, when all living beings have ever been equal, it is in the eyes of the world that Shushan, the blessed place of gods, and Zixuangu and Lingdongshan, who are both disciples of Shushan, have such a natural snobbery.

"No... no need..." Lin Hang never saw Luo Bei's sincerity. When Luo Bei stood up and asked him if he had dinner, he already felt that Luo Bei was special, and he never wanted to have it. A friend like Luo Bei, but he glanced at Luo Bei, but still lowered his head, retreated a little, and said these words.

"What a weirdo who doesn't know good or bad!"

"No wonder none of the senior brothers like to be with him." Hearing Lin Hang's refusal, Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan snorted again in their hearts.

It's just that the two of them didn't know that it was because of them that Lin Hang rejected Luobei's kindness!

Because everyone could see Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan's disdain for him, if he also had dinner with them and Luobei, it would definitely make the atmosphere awkward.

He refused, just because he didn't want to embarrass Luo Bei!

The more familiar people are, the more they understand the value of sincere friendship. While shaking his head bitterly and leaving the room humbled, Lin Hang whispered two words to Luobei in his heart, "Thank you."

Although the well-intentioned and sincere proposal was rejected, Luobei didn't feel the slightest bit of unhappiness when he saw Lin Hang withdrawing from the room in a humble way. He thought of the two-headed salamander that gave him a Zhanxike weed that day. Although the two-headed salamander was also a humble existence in front of Yuan Tianyi, what it did to Luobei was nothing but Let Luobei know that no matter how humble things are, they have their own self-esteem.

"Don't do things for profit..."

Luo Bei suddenly thought of Yuan Tianyi's words. "I should have done it right, right?" Although it was obvious from the corner of his eyes that Zixuangu and Ling Dongshan's eyes were a little embarrassed because of their own attitude, such thoughts still appeared in Luobei's heart.

"To cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your original heart. If your original heart is firm, external demons will not invade."

After Zixuangu and Lingdongshan left, under the dim oil lamp, Luobei chewed on the sentence that Lao Zhaonan explained to himself when explaining the Mahakalomi Dharma, and felt that his understanding of that sentence was deeper layer.

"Joining the WTO... being born... This experience is really good for cultivating the Tao."

Luo Bei's gaze unconsciously stopped on the Shushan volume of Nourishing Qi that he had put aside casually.

With a thought, Luo Bei quickly washed his hands and feet with water, blew out the oil lamp, and lay down on the bed.

Although it was time to go to bed at this time, when Luo Bei went to bed at this moment, he did not want to sleep, but thought of the Paradoxical Heavenly Eternal Sutra that Yuan Tianyi taught him.

Although Luobei still doesn't know what Yuan Tianyi's natal sword essence is, he vaguely knows that it has something to do with the flying sword technique, and Shushan is the most powerful school of flying sword technique in the world. He already felt that he was able to enter Shushan because of Yuan Tianyi's arrangement, so he did his best to learn Taoism in Shushan and didn't think much about other things. In the past three days, he has been studying the homework taught by Xiao Xiao wholeheartedly, and he has never been free, but today he has memorized all these homework by heart, and then thought of what Yuan Tianyi and Lao Zhaonan told him Reasonable, he couldn't wait to practice Luo Fu's set of exercises.

"Calm your mind... look inside... contemplate.... The first step in thinking about the Heavenly Eternal Life Sutra is also similar to the Mahakalamita method of drawing breath into the body?"

Luo Bei thought about the scriptures carefully in his mind, and found that the principles of cultivation at the beginning were not particularly different, but the visualization was different, and the direction of the meridians that led qi into the body was different.

Having had the experience of practicing Mahakala Mifa, Luo Bei did not have the uncontrollable excitement and anxiety at the beginning of the practice. After taking a deep breath, Luo Bei was settled At the beginning, I didn't think about other things, I meditated on the scriptures intently, formed a seal with my hands, and slowly my mind was as calm as water, and I entered a state of tranquility.

Different from the Mahakalamita way of visualizing oneself as a golden Buddha, the initial visualization of the Sutra of Heavenly Eternal Life is not self.

Imagine yourself as a chaotic, empty being, merging with the sky and the earth. At the beginning, the visualization of no-self actually has a self, because the thought of visualization exists. However, if the practice reaches great success later, it is not necessary to visualize this method, and one can naturally enter the state of selflessness.

Under Luo Bei's visualization, his sea of consciousness was empty and empty, as if it had merged into the whole world. Soon, the spiritual energy from the outside world began to pour into this empty sea of consciousness, like a vacuum zone. .

The influx of spiritual energy began to gather into small streams, and soon, it flowed naturally in Luobei's meridians, and the meridians circulated according to the formula for nine cycles.

It went very smoothly. The aura of Mount Shu is definitely not inferior to that of Luofu. Moreover, the aura of Mount Shu is much purer than that of Luofu. The ** usually flows in the meridians, and Luobei has not seen the phantom of the heart demon attacking.

But at the end of the ninth week, when the aura continued to flow along the meridians, in an instant, Luobei only felt a severe pain like a knife piercing a needle in the meridians flowing through!
