Chapter 12: Two or Three Things in Taoism
In the morning of early spring, spring is warm and flowers bloom, and all things are revived.
On the Wawu Mountain, the mountains are bright and the water is beautiful, the clouds are lingering, and the scenery is very strange.
Just surrounded by the immortal scenery on earth, there is a Taoist sect. Until the sun is over, the sect looks lifeless.
Neither one practices in the yard nor chants in the lecture hall, even in the Danfang, there is no one on duty.
Where has this person been?
I didn't go anywhere, I was sleeping in with my house.
Why do you want to ask? It’s very simple, because the ancestor has a lesson - it’s not advisable to go out for activities in the morning.
Otherwise, how can we talk about the greatness of cultivating immortals? This ancestor is a wise man. He summarized this conclusion that is both scientific and human in line with human nature after a thousand or eight hundred years. He also passed it down as a sect rule.
Therefore, in the Xuanqi Sect, from the head to the disciples, they will not get up until Si (9:00 am to 11:00 noon).
When Huang Donglai first went up the mountain, he was really not used to this kind of work and rest. On several occasions, he got up early and went to the yard to practice martial arts alone. Unexpectedly, after being discovered by Miao Yinzi, he actually scolded him and asked him why you are so diligent? Do you want to seize the position of the leader?
This made Huang Donglai people stupid. He had never heard of this kind of stern requesting his disciples to be lazy, but since he had been on the pirate ship, he could only follow the times and follow the customs.
Today, it has been a month since Huang Donglai went up the mountain. He is used to it. Now he will not wake up until Si Shi every day, and he will not be able to sleep before the end of the Zi Shi.
So, what did Huang Donglai do when he was awake during this period?
We have to pound forward...
Let’s talk about Tian Chunchenzi lifted Brother Huang up the mountain that year, the first thing he did was naturally to take him to meet the head.
The head of the Xuanqi Sect is the senior brother of Miaoyinzi. This person’s Taoist name is very powerful, and he is called “Buddiezi”.
Maybe when you hear the name of his junior brother Miao Yinzi, you feel quite elegant, and you think that his senior brother should have a similar name, but in fact... things are not what you imagined.
Their master, the former head of Xuanqi Sect, was an extremely irreconcilable person. When he gave his disciple a name, he never cared about whether it sounded good or not, but looked at his mood and thoughts at that time...
The reason why Miaoyinzi is called Miaoyinzi is because he was a poor-mouthed person when he first went up the mountain, so his master gave him this Taoist name to remind him to avoid joking.
So how did the name "Dirty" come from?
First of all, it is certain that it is not because of ADHD. He didn’t have ADHD that year…
The master told him to "stay" mainly because his body was "too strong".
Everyone has heard of the word "natural power"? It's about people like Buddy.
This guy has shown amazing strength, endurance and explosiveness since childhood: he can lift an adult at the age of five, he can carry a cow at the age of ten, and he can break a big tree with one punch at the age of twelve.
Anatomically speaking, this product called hyperion, a product of gene mutation, is about one in 200 million. People with this specific constitution have a muscle fiber density, softness and toughness that are more than dozens of times that of ordinary people, and their cardiovascular also has amazing motor and metabolic functions.
Moreover, as they age, or as their weight and muscle mass increases, the gap between people with hyperion physique and ordinary people will become more and more obvious... Usually, this gap will reach its peak when they reach their prime.
So when Wu Yizi becomes an adult, he is already a "superman" in the eyes of others.
Even things like "martial arts" are basically useless when they come to him.
After all, the existence of "technology" is to make up for the gap in "power", and the foundation of strength and defense is height and weight, muscle and fat... Of course, in this world, there is also a "internal force".
However, the Moving Boy has already broken through a certain threshold in the field of "power" and has come to a field that cannot be tied with technology. The same is true for you to find a master who is high to deal with him. The final scene is roughly similar to the Sweeping Monk vs. Hulk.
If he really wants to kill him, it will be more effective than martial arts, such as burning fire, flooding, and poisoning.
It can be imagined that the first twenty years of Buddy's life were basically full of "invincible" twenty years, and this invincibility was not obtained by hard work, but by God.
If he lets him ignore it, he will most likely live like a "red plum bird".
Fortunately... when he was twenty years old, he met a wandering old Taoist, his later master, and directly took him up the mountain.
Since then, he has gradually changed from a person who is used to using "power" to solve all problems to this "unmoving man" who can speak and never act.
Of course, for Huang Donglai, who did not know the leader's past experience, he did not see any signs of "muscular Taoist priest" from the other party except that he felt that the leader's Taoist priest was a bit strange.
The visit process was also very ordinary. After just a few chats, the tranquil boy said, "Since you are quite in love with Junior Brother Miaoyinzi, then you can worship him as your master. I will be your uncle in the future."
He didn't ask Miao Yinzi who was not present at the time whether she agreed or not, so he decided.
What's even more amazing is that when Huang Donglai informed Miaoyinzi of the news, the latter only replied: "Okay." It was as casual as if someone was worshipping him as a teacher in their sect as having a meal together.
Compared with the trend of the world that regards the relationship between master and apprentice and unique martial arts, the common sense here seems to be contrary.
In this Xuanqi Sect, it seems that everything is "going with the flow", "just casually", "just by hand"...
No one cares about "your master's seniority is higher than mine", or "your disciple's talent is better than mine", or no one thinks about "This Taoist Dharma is very exquisite, I have finally mastered it, I want to keep it secret, at most it will only be passed on to my confidant disciples", or "This elixir is very good, even if I can't use it for the time being, I will take over and not give it to others."
Even... no one even cared about the position of the head.
As mentioned in the previous article, Chun Chenzi is Miao Yinzi's uncle, which means that the leader of the sect is also his nephew. In this relationship, if it is placed in the world, once the former leader dies, there will be a bloody storm inside.
But this is not the case in Xuanqi Sect...
Here, after the former leader became an immortal, these guys not only did not compete for the position of the leader, but also had a bit of blame for each other, because the leader was relatively troublesome.
At first, Huang Donglai did not understand this trend very much, but over time, he understood that this was normal for these old Taoists.
Why does a person who cultivates immortals and seeks Taoism have to "fight"?
People in the world "fight" for fame and fortune; what are the people who practice Taoism fighting for? If you win, can you ascend to immortality as soon as possible?
On the contrary, as long as you have the heart of "competition", you will go in the opposite direction with "aching the truth".
Every day, we grab martial arts, talents, treasures, and positions of the sects... sects are intrigue and the parties are fighting against each other... How could this be a Taoist sect? Only the sects in the martial arts world can do this.
Huang Donglai also stayed in Xuanqi Sect for some time before turning around this logic. He didn't understand everything in the past few days.
He also asked Miaoyinzi silly: "Master, I have officially become you now. I also know that it is unlikely to let you teach me the skills from the beginning. Do I have to start with the foundation of honing my mind such as picking water and chopping firewood?"
Miaoyinzi gave him a blank look and replied: "Where do you think we are Shaolin Temple? What kind of water should we pick and what kind of firewood should we pick? Why don't you cut green onions and pick up manure?"
Obviously, even he knew the routine of Shaolin Temple exploiting the lower-level disciples...
"There are naturally disciples in charge of the house who carry water and chop firewood to do it. They work with magic. They can manage it for ten days at a time. You can use you?" Miaoyinzi then said, "Let me tell you, we are Taoist, not Buddhism, and we don't practice Zen hardships. If you want to hone your mind, just borrow a few scriptures to read. Don't think about replacing Taoism by enduring hardships all day long. Do you know that enlightenment is not the case?"
Huang Donglai was stunned when he heard this, so he could only ask tentatively: "Then what you mean is..."
"I will teach you the basic methods of practicing Qi first. Anyway, I'm idle." Miaoyinzi replied in a natural tone.
This is what happened on the first day when Huang Donglai officially became a disciple, but until a month later, he did not master the "no strange skills" he learned on the first day.
Although this technique is called "Wuqi", it is actually really difficult.
Compared with this "no strange skills", Huang Donglai felt that the Huangmen internal skills he practiced since childhood were funny. To use games as a metaphor, the former is as complex as three-dimensional chess, while the latter is playing with mud.
Bai Ruhong spent a few years in Xuanqi Sect, but only learned this introductory "Wuqigong" and a basic sword technique "Wangyun Sword", and he did not "practice". He just memorized the mental method and recorded the moves. Until later, he went down the mountain for many years, and he was practicing these two skills and constantly improving.
After seeing this unique skill, Huang Donglai finally understood why these Taoist practitioners often have to practice for hundreds of years? Because it is really impossible to practice without taking that long.
In this way, Brother Huang practiced until winter went to spring, and finally he could run the "no strange skills" relatively smoothly. In other words, he finally practiced the "first level" of this technique. As for when he could reach the second level... it is hard to say, after all, Bai Ruhong has practiced for decades and has only reached the fifth level.
On the other hand, when Miaoyinzi saw that his disciple had learned a skill, he naturally came to teach new things.
Based on the principle of "follow the flow", that day, Miaoyinzi went around and took the technique casually. According to his estimate... this book was thrown to Huang Donglai, who had to practice for at least a year or two before he could master it.
