It rained in my hometown, and I said goodbye to my family after the rain stopped.
Like several partings, thousands of words finally converge into one sentence, that is, "Take care".
Although I was still a little reluctant when I parted, it was not as strong as those times before. I was used to parting, I was used to this so-called sentimentality.
I didn't ask Ah Wu to pick me up, but drove to the county seat by myself, and then went to the Chenghuang Temple in the county seat to find Xu Xuanhang, my master.
When I was in the car, the ghost king kept saying in my consciousness, obviously he was like seeing what the strongest Taoist priest from Xuan Jing's lineage looked like.
In addition, I feel that the ghost king must have been insane in retreat for the past two years, and he has said more than what he has said to me in the past ten years.
When we got to the Chenghuang Temple and saw Yuan Ran, I asked my master if he was back, Yuan Ran said: "Xu Xianren hasn't come back yet, but he has explained that if you come back early, I will let you stay at the Chenghuang Temple and wait for him. "
I asked Yuan Yan how long he had to wait, he shook his head and said, "This Xianren Xu didn't say anything, you can make a phone call and ask."
I called the phone long ago, but no one answered.
Before I could speak, Yuan Yan continued: "By the way, Xianren Xu said that your state of mind is still a bit lacking from that of the Celestial Master. Let you cultivate your mind in the Temple of the City God. As for the method of cultivating your mind, I will give it to you. , This method belongs to the Kunlun faction, but I have made some modifications to make it more perfect."
Yuan Yan talked about cultivating the mind, but I temporarily forgot about Xu Xuanhang's absence and asked for the specific details.
Yuan Yan said that when he was drawing talismans, he should not be impetuous, so when he was young, he exchanged some precious talismans from Kunlun for some methods of cultivating the mind, and then modified some by himself. It is already a system of his own. .
I asked him if I could quickly make up for the lack of mental state if I practiced this method of cultivating the mind, he shook his head and said, "This depends on your chance, the state of mind is more complicated than your cultivation of the Tao. It’s easy, but cultivating the mind is difficult, and a superior state of mind can’t be solved by one or two methods, you must rely on yourself to penetrate all things in the world and understand the influence they have on your mind.”
What Yuan Yan said was too abstract, and what I heard seemed to be incomprehensible.
Fortunately, he did not continue to talk at length, but led me to the Temple of the City God. He pointed to a low table at the bottom right of the statue of the City God and said, "You will sit next to that table every day to cultivate your mind, and this temple will visit some every day. People come to burn incense, these people come in all shapes and sizes, if one day when they walk by your side, the aura on their body can't interfere with your mood at all, then the lack of your mood will be made up, and you will be able to survive the calamity Become a master."
Having said that, Yuan Yan walked over to me and patted my shoulder and said, "You are the youngest Celestial Master, I think."
I smiled and said nothing.
Then Yuan Yan taught me the method of practice. There were thirty-six sentences in total, some of which were even taken from the meditation mantra, so I quickly wrote down that the so-called method is the key to the mantra, I know These keys, and then master them, the method is self-sufficient.
After writing down all the essentials of the Dharma, I started to look at the structure of the temple, and when I looked around, I focused my attention on the low table that was out of place.
There is nothing on the low table. Behind the low table is a grass futon. If it is simply meditating, a grass mat is enough. Why put a low table? This table is placed here. What is it for
I was just about to ask Yuan Yan, but he had already turned and left, and I swallowed my words as soon as I reached my lips. Maybe there was some special intention. Whatever, I'll sit down and follow the Dharma door to meditate and cultivate my mind.
After I sat down on the grass bunk, the ghost king said in my consciousness: "Is that Xu kid quite strict with your requirements? The kind of state of mind he said, I am afraid that only a supernatural master can have it. He let you cultivate that kind of state of mind, I am afraid that he has seen the problem of your spiritual purpose, and worried that you will be in chaos after breaking through the Celestial Master, and you will fall into the devil's way."
I told the ghost king that I am a concentric demon, and I will not fall into the devil's way.
The ghost king said: "It is even more terrifying to fall into the devil's way. Others who fall into the devil's way have a righteous heart that can pull them back, but once a person of the same mind falls into the devil's way, the original heart and the inner demon will fall at the same time. It's almost as if there is no cure."
what!
The ghost king's remarks woke me up like a dream, I stayed for a moment and said, "I will not fall into the devil's way."
The Ghost King smiled and said, "I know you won't, because you have no connection with the Tao, and the devil's Tao is also the Tao. You can't walk long on the avenues, let alone those remote trails."
Even the ghost king began to tell me that I missed the rain, it is hard, my path is really nearing the end, Xu Xuanhang, the ghost king, these supernatural powers seem to have seen my end, but I don't know it at all. Still crawling forward.
Just when I was thinking wildly, the ghost king said again: "Actually, this may not be a bad thing for you, you can't go the way, but you can carry forward our Xuanjing lineage, this is for you, for Xuanjing, for you. Friends around you are a good thing.”
Will Xuanjing be carried forward? I can't even cultivate Dao, and I'm still promoting my ass!
I can't understand the ghost king's words.
I was going to ask the ghost king to make it clear, but he said: "Culture your heart well, didn't you say, you've already become a travel girl, and if you don't want her to die, you'd better double it up. s hard work."
This does not need to be said by the ghost king, I will naturally.
The Ghost King kept talking to me with a smile, as if my path had come to an end. It was not a bad thing for him or Xuanjing, but a good thing instead
I recited the meditation mantra first, and then I began to silently recite the meditation methods that Yuan Yan gave me. These methods are very obscure to recite, and they make me feel less than the meditation mantra. Can this really make up for the lack of my state of mind
I thought again, since Xu Xuanhang asked Yuan Yan to teach me this, he shouldn't use any tricks, and the effect is sure to be used.
Just when I was practicing the method of cultivating the mind, there came two pilgrims burning incense outside. They were two old ladies, all with white hair. It looks more energetic, supporting this crutch.
They all looked surprised when they saw me after entering the temple, and I said to continue to meditate and cultivate the mind.
The way Yuan Yan taught me to cultivate the mind is very different from what I saw in Kunlun. I remember that when those people in Kunlun meditated, they basically closed their eyes, but Yuan Yan asked me to keep my eyes open. Only when the state of affairs affects the state of mind can we truly stabilize the state of mind. Closing our eyes will only make the state of mind choose to escape. That kind of stability is not practical.
The two old ladies gave me a few glances, and then they began to take out the paper money and incense they had written with them, and started offering incense to the city god.
After waiting for the incense to be lit, the two knelt down with each other's hands. The old lady with bad legs knelt very slowly, while the other patiently took care of her and knelt down first, and then knelt next to her. Down.
The two old ladies have not said a word to communicate since entering the door, but the friendship between them is vividly expressed through the actions between the two people.
I also rarely see two old ladies going out together without chatting with each other.
Thinking about it, I felt that my mood was affected, which even made me curious, just two ordinary old ladies, why would their actions affect my mood
The curiosity aroused in my heart, and I took a closer look at the two old ladies. They were praying devoutly. Both of them closed their eyes and whispered something in their mouths.
Their expressions looked serious, even a little scared.
After that, I faintly saw some black qi from the two people. These black qi emanated from their bodies. They were mold qi, decay and death qi.
Could it be that these two people are seriously ill and will die
After a while, these two people finished their prayers, and then kowtowed more than a dozen heads to the statue of the city god, as if they were worried that the city god would not protect them.
After the two of them finished worshiping, the old lady with bad legs finally started to speak: "Sister, you said that what the fortune teller said is accurate, we did everything according to what he said today, from going out to now, we I didn't say a word, now that the incense has been burned, do you think the Chenghuang will send his officers to capture the things that are entangled with us?"
The old lady with good legs said, "Yes, didn't the fortune teller say that, as long as Zan follows what he said, the Chenghuang will help us."
After speaking, the old lady quickly turned back to see the statue of the city god.
The statue of the city god is still very majestic, even a little scary, and it naturally won't speak.
At this time, I also understand a little why these two old ladies have not spoken since just now. It turned out to be a matter of business. I found a fortune-teller to read it. It was the fortune-teller who asked them to mute their words. catching ghosts.
Generally speaking, if a ghost is on the body, as long as you go to the official City God Temple to burn incense sticks, the City God will take care of it. After all, this is also the responsibility of the City God. The fortune teller told these two old ladies like this, I am afraid there are a lot of tricks.
Of course, some ghost city gods will not rashly touch the officers, one is the ghost of the wrong; the other is the ghost of the haunted house; the third is the ghost of the baby, of course, there are several kinds, which are not common, so I won't mention them here.
If the ghosts are not caught, it is to wait for their revenge to end, which is fair to the ghosts, and it is also the law of the City God; the ghosts of the haunted house are not caught because they have been integrated with the Yangzhai, which is beyond the scope of the City God's work; three It is the ghosts of babies who are not caught, because most babies are kind-hearted and can disperse on their own without causing too much harm.
This is also the reason why there are city gods in some places, but there are still ghosts causing trouble, and there are many incidents of unjust ghosts claiming their lives, murdering people in haunted houses, and children's ghosts causing trouble.
Because other ghosts with harm, as long as there is a Chenghuang Temple, they will be captured by the officers of the Chenghuang.
Unless there is no City God Temple, or the City God Temple is fake and has no spirituality, or, in other words, the ghost's ability is too great for the City God's officers to catch.
Thinking of this, I can't help but guess what happened to the two old ladies in front of me
