Taoist chanting

It dragged on for more than half a year, and seeing that the fourth senior sister never came home to visit, not even returning after the new year, her brothers and sisters-in-law and more than ten cousins ​​of the same clan came to the mountain on the first day of the first month. I want to take her back and send her to the man's house to worship and get married.

At the beginning, Zhang Wenfeng had only been up the mountain for more than two months, not long after he had eaten his stomach, and was very impressed.

The master did not allow other senior brothers to come forward, and only said to the angry Yue Anyan, "You have been practicing Taoism for eight years. Make up your own mind to go the way back, and don't disturb the cleanliness of the mountain gate."

Taoism cultivates inaction, but it is not a useless person to be bullied by others.

Yue Anyan understood Master's meaning. After eight years of cultivating Taoism, he still has no ideas of his own, so what kind of Taoism is he still cultivating?

She was dressed in a thin blue-grey Taoist robe, and went down the mountain with more than a dozen people following the commotion.

The cold wind whistled, the trees were stagnant, and the blue silk robes fluttered.

The scene that day fell into the eyes of the ignorant and frightened Xiao Zhang Wenfeng, and it was indescribably beautiful.

After going to the low mountain, Yue Anyan quarreled with the four brothers and sisters, and then kicked all the more than ten people who were going to tie her into the ditch, and sternly scolded "Whoever dares to go up the mountain again, I will break their feet. ".

He took out his sword and chopped off a thick and miscellaneous tree at the mouth of the bowl.

For more than a month, Zhang Wenfeng walked around the gentle Fourth Senior Sister, and even the small snacks that Fourth Senior Sister gave him were in his hands and dared not eat face-to-face.

"It's the same person from the end of the world. She wants to go back to the mountain to practice. You tell her, come back!"

Seeing Guan Zhu thinking for a long time and finally agreeing, the second senior brother was overjoyed, stood up and bowed, then turned around and walked outside.

He couldn't wait to tell the good news to the Fourth Junior Sister who was still waiting for the letter in the town.

Fourth Junior Sister was wandering outside and had no fixed place to live. He felt distressed when he heard it.

That's why my junior sister told him hesitantly today, and promised to make an exception for the junior sister.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't expect that the second senior brother, who has always been calm, couldn't wait for a whole night. Is there such a hurry?

Then he added: "Everyone else is well, so don't go back to the mountain."

The second senior brother ran out early, so I don't know if he heard it.

Zhang Wenfeng finished drinking the tea, went out and went back to the backyard, changed into half old clothes and walked to the kitchen. The old lame man was chopping chicken, so he tied up his sleeves to help, and said, "Uncle lame, I'll cook the fish and chicken, and I'll grab some more later. The rice is in the pot, and there are guests."

"Oh, how many? Is an extra handful of rice enough?"

"One, female guest."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't say it. Seeing the eagerness of the second senior brother, the fourth senior sister was probably waiting in the town?

He won't let the senior brother and the third senior brother go back to the mountain. Those two are good at business and have families. Taoists don't taboo on marriage, but the ascetics on the mountain don't marry ordinary people. He doesn't want to disturb the purity of the mountain.

The old lame man didn't ask more, put the chopped chicken nuggets in the basket, smiled and said nothing: "Brother Feng, I heard from the second that the food you cook is delicious, and I will try your craftsmanship later."

"It doesn't matter, cooking delicious food is nothing more than heavy oil, don't use too much salt, and don't put oil until it's cooked with water. I'm learning from the chefs in the city. We couldn't afford it before, but now, we don't need to do that. save."

"Then I'll have to study hard later. The dishes cooked by the chefs in the city are either delicious or not."

After the old cripple put the brown rice in the pot, it caught fire and said, "Brother Feng, what happened last night, the old uncle wants to sue, he shouldn't take it up, he almost didn't walk over, and he hurt our grandfather. three."

"It's over. You have a lot of loyalty. The next time you meet an acquaintance, you can agree to it after discussing the size of the matter."

"People are old and ruthless, how can there be another time? I will only take care of the kitchen and vegetable garden from now on, and no business."

In a few words, the two of them negotiated, and there is no estrangement.

Zhang Wenfeng asked to heat up an iron pan on another stove. He added salt and sauce to marinate the chicken. He still needed to wait. He poured a spoonful of clear oil into the pan, and then added a small spoonful of ground salt to remove the internal organs. The gills and the whole fish with a few knives in the dry water are put down.

There was a "chi la", and the smell of oil overflowed.

After he had fried the whole fish yellow on both sides, put in the water before frying the fish, put the sauce and minced ginger, covered the wooden pot and was cooking, when he heard a soft and soft call from outside: "Watch the Lord!"

Looking back, a beautiful young woman wearing a blue-grey Taoist robe and a sword around her waist is smiling.

I haven't seen each other for more than two years, Yue Anyan has added a bit of calmness, but I can still see that the tranquil eyes have two more points of the wind and frost that can see through the warmth of human feelings, and they are a little colder.

"Senior sister is back, first go to the West Hall with the second senior brother, and have dinner later."

"Yeah, it's the fourth girl who is back. Brother Feng only said that there are guests coming, let's grab more rice, and don't say which one? Really." The old cripple squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

"Uncle lame, your body is stiff! I'll set the fire, rest your hands."

"How come, don't get your clothes dirty."

Chapter 53 The Road to the Demon Donkey Teacher

After dinner, he changed his robes, and Zhang Wenfeng went to the West Hall to boil water to make tea, and chatted with the two who had been busy from the kitchen for a while, and learned about the situation of Senior Sister who had been outside for the past few years.

After arriving at the time, Zhang Wenfeng took the lead to clean his hands and dress, went to the main hall to burn incense and pray, and formally accepted the return of the senior sister.

The momentum of chanting sutras in the evening class has a little bit of the scale of the past, and it is no longer alone.

There are more female voices in the chanting, the clearer and softer, the ethereal and ethereal.

The black donkey under the steps outside the hall stood still like a stone sculpture, covered in a light moonlight, listening to it like a fascination.

After half an hour, the evening class was over. Zhang Wenfeng took his senior sister to the backyard for a walk. The mess left after several thatched huts were burnt down. Yue Anyan's eyes narrowed slightly. sentence.

After setting up the senior sister to live in an empty thatched hut, Zhang Wenfeng returned to the West Hall, closed the door and entered the quiet room and went down the secret passage to read a book.

The next morning, after breakfast after class, the three of them had tea and chatted in the West Hall.

"I'm going to the city today to help you change the place of practice back. Senior sister, just do it. After the mundane affairs are dealt with, you and the second senior brother will spare time every day to go to several nearby Zhuangzi to test and recruit apprentices. Try to recruit apprentices before the end of the month. At least 20 people."

"I'll take a trip to Cuizhu Town later, say goodbye to the shopkeeper of the medical shop, and come back before dinner in the afternoon."

"Second Senior Brother, the vegetable field is not in a hurry, go to the Aishan construction site to have a look, urge them to do a good job in the craftsmanship and use the materials well, if there is anything wrong, just tell them, they are all Zhang's family, don't be afraid of trouble beforehand and ugly afterward. ."

"Understood, the Lord can rest assured."

After chatting about something else, after refilling the pot of boiling water, the three of them went away.

Zhang Wenfeng held the certificates of the two in his arms, tied a gourd by the side of his sword, and wore a traveling hat. He yelled down the mountain a few times, called the donkey, put the saddle left by Master on the donkey's back, and tied it to the donkey. When the rope is tied, it will be awkward for the animals to walk in the city without the rope.

After descending the mountain, ride on the back of a donkey and head east along the official road.

Fu Gujing, Yun Qiuhe, and the bandit leader Luan Tingsan had all seen donkeys before, and they didn't find anything unusual about it. Even the old ghost in red didn't realize that it was a monster donkey, so he could ride the donkey into the city without worry, anyway, he wouldn't drive it away. time.

It's just that the donkey has a bad mouth, never idles, and chatters so badly.

Zhang Wenfeng wanted to think quietly about the classics he had read in the past two days, and he had failed.

"Watcher, can you give me a name?"

"Just call it a black donkey, that's fine."

"No, there are so many black donkeys in this world, and there are too many of the same name. How can I show my extraordinary? Help me choose a unique and famous name, and we can't weaken the name of our fairy temple."

"What's the matter with too many, call them black donkeys, can you understand? Stupid!"

"Hey, that's right, they don't understand human language... My Lord, let's go to the animal market when we enter the city?"

"I don't have time to do business."

"It's time to relax, let's go drink flower wine, the old lame man said a long time ago that the flower wine in the kiln-zi is the best to drink."

"...In the future, stay away from the lame uncle. He has some bragging rights. You must have the ability to distinguish. You are an independent and special demon donkey with wisdom and thinking. Don't be fooled and bewitched by others. People who sell it are still foolishly helping people with copper coins."

"Understood. Guanzhu, what kind of place is Yao-zi?"

"It's an indecent place. Next time the lame uncle talks about Yao-zi, you spit on him."

"Don't dare to vomit, he is so fierce. Monastery Lord, is the flower wine good? Is it sweet or spicy? Have you tried it?"

"Uh... Huajiu..."

Zhang Wenfeng was messed up on the back of the donkey. He felt very tired chatting with the donkey who knew everything about the world. He had to take it seriously and correct some of the donkey's cognitive errors.

The path of the demon donkey's mentor is a long way to go.

After talking about the donkey life all the way, when he got to the city, he drank the whole pot of spiritual spring water.

I haven't come for a few days, and there is a man in strong suit at the gate of Daolu Branch, who is on duty with a sword in his arms, and he is not smiling.

After showing his ID card and leading the donkey through the door, he saw a middle-aged man on duty inside Zhuanguai, with the same serious face. Compared with the laxness of Principal Yan before, there were more rules.

The donkey is tied to the barn on the right side of the square, and the bamboo hat is hung on the saddle.

Shut up the chattering donkey with a strong desire for knowledge, Zhang Wenfeng walked across the square to Dean Wu's hall, saw Dean Wu who was busy flipping through the signed files, said hello, and then left to go to the library, Dean Wu signaled him Sit down and wait a while.

After signing a few files, Wu Ganping pulled the rope and called his subordinates to explain the affairs, and then he would have time to accompany him.

"Have you seen Old Master and Junior Sister Yun when you went to the house?"

"I haven't gone yet, come to the master first."

"There's no need to go. They took people out of the city to run errands. They just walked for a while. The benefits of the rising tide of spiritual energy are beginning to emerge. Some monsters and thieves who got cheap are uneasy and jump out to make trouble. They have to go to several places. It is estimated that Three to five days to return."

Seeing Zhang Wenfeng scrambling to pick up charcoal with iron tongs and relighting the charcoal stove to cook tea, Wu Ganping asked him to do it, and said with a smile: "It is rumored everywhere in Hexi Town that you are Zhang Immortal. If you get wind, you must go to the Fairy Temple for a while, you fairy, haha."

Zhang Wenfeng blushed. The news of the Daolu branch is now very well-informed, and he explained: "I helped the neighbors to kill an evil ghost. It's all because of their love and nonsense."

"Oh, what kind of evil spirit? It's worth doing."

Wu Ganping is quite curious, as if they have the cultivation base and know the magic of immortality, ordinary ghosts floating in the world can be killed at will, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to set up the altar to do things, and use the power of heaven and earth to exorcise ghosts. Here comes the great devil.

He is not good at exorcising ghosts and rituals, he mainly practices the Taoist Xuangong of breathing out and accepting Qi.

Zhang Wenfeng said that a certain traveler in the town was haunted by ghost eyes and haunted spirits, which delayed the time for exorcising ghosts. He arranged the experience of exorcising ghosts at the altar, and told the most important ones, concealing the matter of black and white impermanence, skipping the contribution of donkeys, the main point Speaking of his cooperation with the second senior brother, the thrilling part was reduced.

"And this kind of evil spirit that haunts three generations? The first time I heard it, Brother Zhang's knowledge is extraordinary."

"Where, I just heard my teacher mention it occasionally before, and I know the way to crack it."

"Brother Zhang has a long history, so the next time you encounter troublesome ghosts in the county, you don't have to go out and ask for someone, and come to you to discuss it directly."

"As a matter of fact, do your best."

Zhang Wenfeng is still the same as always, and he will not be overwhelmed by a compliment from others.

The two chatted for a while, Wu Ganping got up and took a pen to write a note, stamped it with a seal, then handed the note to Zhang Wenfeng, and said: "After the reward is approved, you can go to Lao Jin to collect it later, and I will also give it to you." There is no need to send another person to inform you, this time I helped you get two spirit stones, money is not of much use to us, so I only reported you 50 taels."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't expect that the reward would be quite generous. He could get two Reiki Stones. Of course, he welcomed the common things and money. He clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you for the master, the master has taken much trouble."

Reiki stones are cultivation items that cannot be exchanged for worldly money.

When he entered a strange state of mind, he used three aura stones to improve his cultivation by one level.

After redeeming the reward, go to the shop in the Daolu branch that is open to the inside, and see what good things are there. Not in the mood to find excitement.

"My brother, you don't need to see outsiders. By the way, do you have something to do when you go to the city this time?"

Wu Qianping waved his hands and smiled, and picked up his teacup to drink tea.

Zhang Wenfeng's heart was moved, why didn't he ask Master Wu about the doubts and problems in the technique?

He was born in a serious sect, and he was much more knowledgeable than him, and his intention to win over him was obvious.

Most people have the mentality of being a good teacher, but they often don't realize it.

Including himself, he likes to preach to donkeys. He knows this, but he can't do it without teaching.

He should give Master Wu a chance to teach him as a teacher. He can use a certain spell to replace the sound explosion. It is better to listen to Master Wu's advice than to think about it alone.

Chapter 54 It's not really a problem

Zhang Wenfeng put down his teacup, sat up straight and said, "There are a few things. I called back the two brothers and sisters who came down the mountain, and I will change their address later."

The Daolu branch has a special public house to handle the degree assessment, modification and other matters.

If he had to review and check before, he must come in person, at least three or two trips, and wait for the last ten days and a half. Now he has become a guest secretary of the Daolu Branch, and he has an identity endorsement, and the troubles of the past no longer exist. Last time, Fu Gujing took him around and explained the relevant convenience.

"I plan to recruit a batch of Taoist seedlings and train apprentices in the villages near the Taoist temple. The existing site is too small. I want to go to the county government to ask, what is the price of the two barren hills near my Taoist temple? If it is suitable, I will buy them and cultivate them. Let the apprentices support themselves, and don’t allow them to have the idea of ​​getting something for nothing.”

A certain Taoist temple has produced a Qi cultivator, and the Taoist Academy strongly encourages it to expand its influence and recruit apprentices for training.

The once-in-500-year opportunity to cultivate more talents is conducive to consolidating the status of Taoism.

"It's a good thing to recruit more monk apprentices. If you encounter any troubles, if you need our Daolu branch to come forward, just say, don't see outsiders. It's easy to buy a mountain. Later, you call Lao Wu, who is on duty inside the gate, to run with you for a while." Come on, let me say hello to him, he is familiar with everyone in the Yamen."

"Thank you, Master. There is one more thing. Zhang came here on purpose today to ask the Master a thing or two."

Zhang Wenfeng explained the confusion he encountered about not being able to practice a certain spell, and waited for the enthusiastic Dean Wu to help him solve the confusion. Even if he couldn't solve the confusion, he had no loss, and then went to the library to search for classics.

"Can't practice a certain spell? This situation is nothing more than two points. One is that the cultivation level is not enough. The second is that the attributes of the spells do not match your physical attributes. For example, if you have a wooden physique, it is best to practice wooden spells. Action, fire action, and wind action are a little bit less, and other water, earth, ice, and metal spells are less rewarding and thankless."

Wu Ganping answered casually, thinking it was a difficult question, so he asked him for advice in a serious and serious manner.

He was ready to think carefully about it, just this little question?
