Early Saturday morning, as soon as I returned from my morning exercise, I received a call from An Yu. His tone on the phone was quite relaxed. After all, the office building was much cleaner, and his heaviest worries were relieved a lot. Just like a few days ago, he opened his mouth to save lives, looking like he was bitter and resentful.
Of course, his call was to ask me to do some religious work. In his opinion, only by settling everything as soon as possible would he be completely relieved.
Therefore, it was rare for him to get up so actively early in the morning and call me to urge me while he was playing every night.
While wiping my sweat, I told him that there was no need to be so early, and asked him to ask the Taoist priest he brought to prepare an altar. In addition, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to disturb the place where the ceremony is performed, so please be sure to clean up the relevant people and then close the door tightly.
I checked the time and told him I would arrive probably in the afternoon.
This time is actually very particular. I avoid the moments when the yang energy is strong, and I also avoid the extremely cloudy moments at noon. All this is just because I didn’t really accept those infant spirits, I just calmed them down temporarily, and I want to return them. They are saved once, although it is more troublesome.
After breakfast, I was supposed to practice qigong, which is unique to our lineage. This is something that requires long-term persistence, but Surou came here early in the morning.
He was not polite as soon as he entered the house. After taking it all night, he went to the kitchen and poured the remaining porridge into it. While drinking the porridge, he threw the steamed buns into his mouth one by one, and he didn't have any. I forgot to pick up some shredded radish with chopsticks during the break.
I sat lazily on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and just watched him eat. From the time he came in to now, we haven't said a word, as if we treat each other as nothing. There is nothing we can do after we have known each other for so many years. , even if you don’t think of the other person as air, people are most comfortable only in air.
Finally, after eating 7 xiaolongbao, Surou was willing to wipe his mouth, with something still wrapped in his mouth, and said to me vaguely: "Sanwa, you are not kind, you are going to make a recipe today." Don’t even tell me anything.”
In fact, there is no danger in this ritual anymore, and I don’t care whether the crispy pork is gone or not. I stretched myself and said: "How do you know that I have unfinished buns? Seven of them, you kid Are you going to weigh 200 pounds?"
"Hey, I asked the lady who sells steamed buns at the door of your community. She said you came to buy steamed buns today. How lazy are you? It's not like I don't know. You have to buy a few baskets at a time. If you can't finish them, put them in the refrigerator. Save Next time you go out to buy, won't I help you digest it? 200 pounds is nothing. I am a 1.78 meter tall man, 200 pounds is not too fat.%&*";" Surou answered me plausibly .
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, so I said to him: "Then it's up to you. If you want to eat all the stuff in the refrigerator, that's no problem. I won't go to do the ritual until the afternoon, and I have to wait for someone to come. Now I Go practice and have fun by yourself."
Su Rou was waving his chopsticks while eating, meaning to tell me to go quickly.

When practicing Qigong, there is no so-called concept of time, because you must concentrate on falling into an ethereal state, with only breath in your mind.
I don't have the master's state, which is close to the turtle breath, but I can do it during practice by keeping the inhalation and exhalation for one and a half minutes naturally.
This kind of entry is quite acceptable among people in today's circles. It would have been shameful if it had been done hundreds of years ago in the Ming Dynasty when Taoism was so brilliant. In that era, people like me Those who have orthodox inheritance and have practiced since childhood can at least achieve true ineditation for more than ten days and be close to the state of little turtle breathing.
The environment is declining, Taoism is also declining, and it is extremely difficult for practitioners.
When I slowly stopped the exercise, it was just over four hours. Over the years, the habit of practicing has gradually become a deliberate habit. Of course, when I am particularly busy, I will limit it to two hours. .
After practicing, when I walked out of the house, Surou was playing the game 'Football Economics' on my computer. Next to him, there was a bald guy shouting: "No, the striker is more important. You should Use the money to buy Ronaldo first."
I walked over to say hello to this guy with a smile, and said, "Jueyuan, how long have you been here?"
"Not long ago, the morning flight arrived. It was just over an hour ago. I called you to turn off your phone. I guessed that you were practicing, so I called Surou directly. He came to pick me up." Yes, this bald monk It was Jue Yuan who we met in Heiyan Miao Village. Later he was one of the teachers assigned by Uncle Hui to Hui Gener, and our friendship began from this.
Five years have passed, and now Hui Gen'er mainly studies with Master Huiming, but his understanding of Buddhism is still taught by Jue Yuan, but it is relatively less. However, this does not affect the relationship between Jue Yuan and I getting better and better. After all, we are 'Like-minded' people.
"Do you keep the plane ticket?" I asked Jue Yuan.
"Nonsense, you said someone paid the bill, can I not keep it? Oh, because it is a free flight, so I flew first class." Jue Yuan had a gentle smile on his face, and he was polite and elegant, but I just saw that A hint of the feeling of an old fox.
I laughed a few times, went over and hugged Jue Yuan and said, "There is still a balance of 20,000 yuan later, so just take it."
Jue Yuan pushed me away, adjusted his very fashionable coat with great care, and said, "Don't hug me. My clothes are from a famous brand - Bangwei. What should I do if they get wrinkled?"
I glanced at Jue Yuan speechlessly. Although I don't care about clothes, is Bangwei a famous brand? Maybe, in 1999.

When the three of us rushed to the office building, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the door of the office building was closed tightly, and a layer of cloth was pulled on the door in a decent manner. An Yu strictly followed my request, causing The three of us were blocked outside the door by some construction workers he hired, and we almost couldn't get in. Later, Su Rou called An Yu's phone and asked An Yu to pick us up in person.
"Chengyi, you are finally here. The people I invited have been waiting for a long time. This matter is not going well, and I feel uneasy. Hey, who is this brother? He looks like a young and promising university professor. ?" An Yu noticed Jue Yuan.
Jue Yuan immediately became serious, looking like a calm and gentle monk, and he did not forget to take care of his regular, beautiful and handsome Bangwei coat in a decent way.
It’s funny in my heart. Although Jue Yuan is a great monk, he pays great attention to dressing up. He once said that the more obsessed you are, the more you have to face it. When one day you can wear all kinds of gorgeous clothes on your body, your heart will just be idle. , his state of mind is perfect.
It's a pity that this guy doesn't have much money to dress up, because his money supports at least 10 poor students.
So I introduced to An Yu: "This is my friend Jue Yuan, who is responsible for salvation this time. It can be regarded as building up some virtue for you, so that some people will not lose their souls because of you and bear this kind of karma." It has to be a good thing.”
An Yu seemed to understand. He nodded while listening and said: "It turns out to be Master Jue Yuan. It's a pleasure to meet him. It's a pleasure to meet him. At first glance, Master Jue Yuan looks like an enlightened monk."
Upon hearing this, Jue Yuan's appearance became more and more calm. After greeting Jue Yuan seriously, An Yu said to me again: "Chengyi, I don't understand anything. Anyway, whatever you say, I will How to do it? If you want to save it, just save it."
I thought helplessly, you really don’t understand, you are only worried about your own safety. But I can't help it, because I can't ask someone to put kindness before selfishness. Even I can't do great love myself? As long as it concerns the important people around me!
When An Yu and I were talking, Jue Yuan coughed. An Yu looked at Jue Yuan with some confusion and asked, "Master Jue Yuan? Do you have any requirements?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk just wants to tell the donor that the poor monk doesn't like to wear monk's robes very much on weekdays. It is very inconvenient to walk in the world like this. What does the donor think of the poor monk wearing these clothes to achieve salvation? It won't make the donor uneasy, right?" Yuan's expression became even more fierce, but his eyes were fixed on An Yu.
The crispy pork popped, and the gum he was chewing in his mouth spurted out. His neck suddenly swelled up, his face turned red from holding in, and he kept coughing.
I pinched my palms hard and kept saying in my heart, Jue Yuan is an eminent monk, Jue Yuan is an eminent monk, don't laugh, don't laugh.
Only Monk An Yuzhang was scratching his head. He didn’t understand why Su Rou and I had such a big reaction, and he didn’t understand why Jue Yuan suddenly said this to him. I, a Taoist priest, don’t wear robes either. Isn’t it strange that a monk doesn’t wear robes? ? Why are you bringing this up to make a fuss
Surou covered his mouth and said, "I'm going to the toilet."
After a while, the sound of Su Rou laughing wildly came from the toilet, and Jue Yuan seemed not to let An Yu go, his eyes were looking at An Yu almost expectantly.
I endured it, and walked up to a worker friend and whispered a few words.
Then the worker guy walked up to Jue Yuan in a carefree manner: "Brother, your clothes are so handsome. They look much better than the monk's robes. Where did you buy them? It cost a hundred yuan. I'm so envious."
During this interval, I winked at An Yu vigorously. An Yu was a good person and reacted immediately. He immediately said: "Oh, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed. The clothes Master Jue Yuan is wearing are so classy." .”
Jue Yuan's expression immediately relaxed. He held the Buddha's gift and said, "Amitabha, the donors have praised me in vain. This dress is only 299 yuan. The poor monk just bought it to keep out the wind and rain."
I x, I finally couldn't help but ran out, leaned against the gate, and laughed wildly.
