Zhang Yu meditated all night in Linyuan Jingshe. At sunrise the next day, an assistant came to call the door and said that everyone was invited to go to the temple. Someone from Xuanfu came to teach the Dharma.
He left the monastery together with the excited students and came to a pavilion on the east side of the main hall. He saw that the place was open and bright, the floor had been swept clean, and there were many plain futons placed. In the copper stove,
Green smoke curls up.
The students were all full of expectations. After some humility to each other, they each chose a futon and sat down in high spirits.
After a while, the sound of a chime was heard, and all the students knew that the person teaching the Dharma was coming, and they all stood up to greet him.
As footsteps came, a gentle and elegant young man walked in from outside the hall. He was wearing a long-sleeved Taoist robe with a warm smile on his face. He walked slowly to the hall platform, faced the students, raised his hands and bowed, saying
: "My fellow disciples, my name is Fan Lan, and I have been entrusted by the chief to come here to guide you in your practice."
The students also joined hands and returned the gift.
After the salute, both parties sat down amidst mutual greetings.
When Fan Lan came up, he didn't just talk about it. Instead, he asked everyone how well they rested last night and whether the food they ate was to their taste. By the way, he also told an interesting anecdote about when he entered the Xuan Mansion. Unknowingly, all the students
The slightly impetuous and excited mood was gradually calmed down.
Although Fan Lan was smiling on his face, he was always paying attention to everyone's emotions secretly. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost harmonious, he turned to the main topic and said: "Now that you have seen the chapter of Dao Dao, you have entered the realm of my profound cultivation."
Door……"
The students suddenly became energetic and listened to him continue: "According to common sense, after the seal of 'Keep Me' is planted, six seals should appear, namely eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, and mind;
This is the Six Righteousnesses, also known as the Six Holdings! All seals that will be observed and read in the future will come from the six seals. This is called the root of all seals. It is just because everyone has different foundations of predestined dharma. The seal that was planted in me for the first time.
At that time, most people could not see the six seals at the same time. I wonder how many of them did you see yesterday, fellow juniors?"
The students looked at each other, but no one came out to answer.
Fan Lan smiled and pointed directly at Zheng Yu, saying: "Junior Brother Zheng Yu, yesterday you stood up and asked questions, so today you might as well speak first."
Zheng Yu quickly stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Senior Brother Fan, after I planted my seal yesterday, I only saw a 'mouth seal'."
Fan Lan smiled and said: "Very good, Junior Brother Zheng, there is no need to be restrained. You and I belong to the same sect. I am not your teacher. Just sit down and talk."
He shifted his gaze and looked at Zhang Yu again.
Zhang Yu's mind was spinning. Yesterday he saw all six seals. If it was a Dao Hun seal, according to his teacher, only he could see it. However, he was not sure whether the same was true for Xuanzang, so he decided to test it.
one time.
He said: "I saw three seals, namely the mouth seal, the mind seal, and the body seal."
Fan Lan's eyes lit up and he praised: "Not bad, not bad."
When Bai Qingqing saw it, he took the initiative to speak loudly without waiting for Fan Lan to ask: "I also saw three seals, namely the eye seal, the ear seal and the nose seal."
Fan Lan kept nodding and said: "Okay, okay."
When the remaining students saw this, they also reported what they saw one by one. However, except for three people who felt two seals, most of them only saw one seal, and there were even three people who didn't see even one seal.
Seeing that the three people were panicking, Fan Lan comforted him: "You three junior brothers, don't panic. You just didn't invest enough divine energy when reading my seal. If you come down and save your divine energy carefully, you will be able to see it."
One of the students was confused and asked: "With our weak divine energy, is it hopeless for us to practice Taoism?"
Fan Lan smiled and said: "How could this be so? There are a number of divine Yuans in a person's life, and as many as they should be. Although the number of divine Yuans guided out in the first episode varies, in general they are not much different. As long as the Divine Yuans are accumulated
Enough, if you look at my seal again, you can see all six seals one by one. The others are just one step ahead of you, so they are not impossible to catch up with."
After hearing this, the three students felt relieved.
Those students who only saw one seal were a little uneasy at first, but after hearing this, they breathed a sigh of relief and regained some confidence.
Fan Lan actually did not tell the truth.
In fact, there are still differences between people, and sometimes the differences are even unimaginable.
Some people are born with strong spiritual energy, even times that of ordinary people, which means they can read more great seals than others. He has also witnessed such wizards with his own eyes.
He glanced at Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing, nodded secretly and said: "These two people will be able to see three seals after they have received my seal. They should be the most solid foundations among the entry disciples this year."
After turning his mind, he spoke again: "Junior brothers, in order to enable you to observe and read the Taoist chapters smoothly, I will now teach you a set of breathing techniques. This can be used to accumulate divine energy. I hope you will remember it carefully."
When the students heard this, they immediately sat upright and their expressions became solemn.
Fan Lan smiled and immediately explained a breathing method in the obscure and profound ancient Tianxia dialect.
This is not because he means to show off, but because only in this way can he better express the original meaning of the breathing method.
This is why the people sitting here are all students of Taiyang Academy, because each of them has received the orthodox education of Tianxia, and they all know etiquette and literature, and can understand the artistic conception and deeper meaning conveyed in ancient sayings.
expression.
Otherwise, even if you are literate, you may not be able to understand what is being said here.
Zhang Yu listened carefully and found that this breathing method is relatively simple and suitable for people who have never been exposed to it. However, it is not necessarily possible to say how much divine energy can be accumulated.
According to his experience, it also needs the supplement of elixirs, which is the so-called "internal strengthening and external tonic".
However, although he does not think that this breathing method is useful to him, he still needs to do it if necessary.
After deliberately waiting for a while, he tried breathing a few times and almost mastered the trick.
Fan Lan secretly paid attention to the performance of the students, especially Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing.
He found that the two methods were different.
Zhang Yu took a long test first, but when he officially started, he quickly mastered this breathing method.
Bai Qingqing, on the other hand, seemed confident. He made a bold attempt based on his own understanding from the beginning, but after a slight stumble, he quickly got into the right rhythm.
Fan Lan thought to himself: "Of these two people, one plans before acting and thinks over and over again, and the other relies solely on his own talent and focuses on his focus. When it comes to cultivating Taoism, the latter may go further, but he also said
Not sure, well, I need to write this down and give it to Senior Brother Xiang to read later."
After all, everyone here is handsome. After trying it for almost half a summer, even the slowest one has initially mastered this breathing method.
Fan Lan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Shen Yuan is the foundation for reading Taoist chapters. I hope all of you junior fellow apprentices can practice diligently."
All the students promised loudly. They had just entered the door of Taoism, and now is the time when their enthusiasm is at its highest. No one needs to urge them, and they will devote all their energy to it.
After Fan Lan finished explaining, he looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing and said, "Junior Brother Bai, Junior Brother Zhang, um... and you guys." He nodded at a few more students, stood up, and said, "
You guys come with me." After saying that, he got up and walked to the back of the pavilion.
All the students also stood up one after another and followed his footsteps.
As soon as they came out of the back hall, everyone found that this was an amusement park, with a garden, corridors and pavilions, rockery ponds on both sides, and all kinds of camellias planted around it.
Fan Lan chose a seat behind the stone table in the pavilion and sat down. He stretched out his hand and pressed it, saying, "No need to be formal, everyone can sit down."
After everyone sat down, he said in a casual tone: "Junior brothers, you have met at least two people with the seal of six righteousness. This shows that you are full of divine energy, and you will definitely advance faster than others.
, so I won’t treat you the same way I teach ordinary people.”
The three students who had seen the two seals couldn't help but feel excited after hearing these words. They suddenly felt that they were not bad. Although they seemed not to be as good as Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing, they were at least among the top ones.
One batch.
Fan Lan sighed: "My generation relies on the chapter of the Great Dao to practice Taoism, but it contains countless truths. Even if it is just the first chapter of the Great Dao, it is impossible for a cultivator to read it all."
At this point, he pointed at himself, "So only by using the limited divine energy to find a ray of mystery that is consistent with oneself, and using this to escape, and then transform the mind and body, can it be considered complete. At that time, can
I am qualified to ask about the next chapter of the book."
"Senior Brother Fan, where can I find the secret?"
The person who spoke was Bai Qingqing. He looked at Fan Lan for a moment, looking very eager to get the answer.
Fan Lan smiled and said: "Then we should start with the seal that best suits you and others, and the one you saw first yesterday is it."
The students were startled, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Those with only one seal were easy to find, but everyone here had at least seen two seals, and they appeared together at the time. There seemed to be no sequence.
But which one is most suitable for you?
Someone couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Fan, we have seen two seals, and I don't know which one should I take?"
Fan Lan smiled and pointed around, saying: "When you enter this place, how do you feel first?"
The student thought for a while and said, "It feels quite warm and comfortable."
Fan Lan pointed at another person and said, "What about you?"
The student who was accused was slightly embarrassed and said: "I only saw the spring scenery in the garden."
Fan Lan laughed and said, "Then do you know what you should choose?"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Although Zhang Yu had other ways to replenish his divine energy, he did not take Fan Lan's words seriously. He thought carefully about his feelings when he came in, and thought: "It seems that I should be the first to observe
