There is a girl holding an ancient book and talking to herself.
She is a little thin, and seems to be just thirteen or fourteen years old. Her short hair is neatly styled, and the pattern on the white washed gray T-shirt can no longer be seen clearly. She is sitting naturally by the stone window. Shi tilted his head and looked at Su Yourong and Zhou Yan who came into the small garden.
I can't say she is a good-looking girl, but she has good features and is delicate and smart.
"You are?"
The sudden arrival of a strange guest made the girl put down her ancient book and asked softly.
Su Yourong was a little surprised, because this girl's eyes were very clear, as clear as the water of Baiyutan.
She even thought about how great it would be if she had such a lovely and pure daughter.
Zhou Yan never expected to meet a little girl in a Taoist temple.
He looks to be the same age as Baobao Chen, but he has an extraordinary and otherworldly temperament, which is not something that some perverse babies can have.
It's like he is a teenager, but he has wisdom that does not belong to his age.
"We are tourists here for fun." Zhou Yan explained with a smile.
"Tourist?"
The girl was stunned for a moment and murmured to herself: "No tourists have come here for many years."
Her voice has a light and muddy sound, which is very similar to Lin Churro, but crisper than Churro.
Zhou Yan saw the shadow of Congee in this girl.
At this moment, the girl came to Zhou Yan, raised her head slightly, and looked carefully with her clear eyes.
"The qi on your body is very strange." The girl said softly.
"Qi?" Zhou Yan felt that he had heard wrongly, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is qi?"
Even Su Yourong was frightened by the girl's nagging words. After all, such things as anger were too out of touch with science.
The girl quickly answered Zhou Yan's doubts and said loudly: "Qi travels around the six voids in the sky and transforms into all things on the earth. "Zhouyi" once said that essence is a thing and wandering soul is a change. This is why we know the state of ghosts and gods. In other words, qi is transformed into spirit, qi is transformed into essence, and qi is transformed into spiritual perfection.”
When the girl said this, she paused slightly and continued to say to Zhou Yan: "I think that although your Qi is positive, it seems to be inconsistent with your spirit. There is even a situation where your spirit is full of Qi, which is strange."
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard the girl's words: "What does this mean?"
For some reason, he felt like he was being seen through.
"That's the literal meaning, but you don't have to worry. This is a good thing. If you can practice diligently, polish your body, and exercise your organs, your energy and spirit will be able to achieve true perfection."
The girl said seriously.
Zhou Yan saw the word "Book of Changes" written on the ancient book the girl put down, and he seriously doubted whether the girl was learning and applying it now.
Su Yourong's beautiful eyes blinked. She was obviously curious about why the girl said that. She couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, why is his spirit so full of energy?"
Zhou Yan twitched his lips when he saw that best friend Su was showing signs of becoming obsessed.
However, when the girl heard Su Yourong's words, she replied seriously: "Maybe she was overthinking when she was still in her mother's womb."
"For example, why did I come to this world? For example, why am I trapped in this dark place and can't get out." The girl said.
Su Yourong found this little girl very interesting. She covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Zhou Yan: "So Zhou Yan, before you were born, weren't you already thinking about the three major philosophical issues?"
who I am? where am I? Where am I going?
Zhou Yan's face darkened: "I'm not, I didn't."
"Hahaha, don't make excuses." Best friend Su laughed with joy, especially seeing Zhou Yan's expression of "I can't explain" was very funny.
The girl continued: "Maybe you don't quite understand, but to explain it in modern language, Qi is a collection of substances, energy and information that are performing specific functions, whether it is breathing, water and grain metabolism, or resistance to plague, etc. All life activities are maintained by relying on the function of qi."
】
"The "New Book of Longevity, Relatives and Elderly Care" says: 'People are born from Qi, and Qi comes from the mind. To nourish the Qi and the whole mind, you can find the right way. First, speak less and nourish Qi and blood; second, abstain from lust and nourish the essence; thirdly, Thin taste, nourish blood and qi; fourth, swallow body fluids, nourish visceral qi; fifth, avoid anger, nourish liver qi; sixth, eat well, nourish stomach qi; seventh, think less, nourish heart qi, after doing these seven things, This is what I call cultivation.”
The girl said seriously, not showing off her airs in front of two adults.
Zhou Yan felt that this girl was really good at talking, and she always quoted classics and classics. If he hadn't heard so many health-preserving theories, he might have been fooled by her.
Su Yourong seemed to have become a girl's little crush at this moment. She knelt down and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
The girl tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why Su Yourong knelt down to look at her, but she still made a Taoist cross-hand salute and said softly: "Kun Dao, Qin Jianjia."
"Qin Jianjia, what a nice name." Su Yourong touched the girl's head and said with a smile.
Qin Jianjia frowned, but quickly relaxed her eyebrows and said "Thank you" to Su Yourong. '
"What are your names?" Qin Jianjia asked.
"His name is Zhou Yan, and my name is Su Yourong." Su Yourong liked children very much, and now he also liked Qin Jianjia, a very spiritual little girl. He automatically ignored the 'Kun Dao' she introduced herself. Rong also introduced it without any shame.
"Su Yourong, you are great when you have Rong, you are great..."
Qin Jianjia's focus suddenly shifted. She looked straight at Su Yourong who was squatting down, and opened her eyes as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
Su Yourong didn't expect that one day she would be overshadowed by a little Taoist nun. She blushed slightly, smiled lightly, and tried her best to maintain a kind attitude in front of the girl.
The girl seemed to realize that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate. She said softly: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've seen such a big man. I couldn't help but think wrong."
When Su Yourong heard the girl say this in front of Zhou Yan, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Seeing that best friend Su's face was red to the ears, Zhou Yan smiled and said comfortingly: "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji."
Su Yourong stood up and rolled his eyes at Zhou Yan: "Do you think so too?"
"Every man thinks so, right?"
Zhou Yan didn't care at all what best friend Su thought and exposed it ruthlessly.
Su Yourong was extremely embarrassed and wanted to hit Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan dodged him.
"I usually do the cleaning in the courtyard alone, but now you two are here, it's quite interesting."
Qin Jianjia said softly like a young adult.
Su Yourong obviously hadn't recovered from the situation just now. At this time, she remained silent.
At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest who had just been with Zhou Yan and Su Yourong walked in.
Seeing Zhou Yan and Su Yourong, he also smiled honestly: "The two laymen are here, Su Zhai is already ready."
"Taoist Priest, who is this girl?" Su Yourong couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yan was also a little curious. After all, he had never seen him before. He guessed that he should be the Taoist Priest's young apprentice.
"Oh, she is my uncle." The middle-aged Taoist priest introduced.
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Qin Jianjia and asked softly: "Uncle Master, you didn't rush into the two laymen, did you?"
"No, Xiaolang, I had a good chat with these two guests." Qin Jianjia said in an old-fashioned way. She asked again: "Is the food ready? I'm a little hungry."
"Ready." The middle-aged Taoist priest said.
"Let's eat, let's eat." Upon hearing this, Qin Jianjia happily left the three of them behind and walked out of the garden, as if heading towards the kitchen.
Comparing with the nagging look just now, it is obvious that Qin Jianjia at this time has the true temperament of a little girl.
"Master...Uncle Master?"
Zhou Yan knew that sometimes the seniority within the Taoist family would be inversely related to age, but he never expected that this little girl would be the uncle of the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him, and she also had a young man...
"Yes, uncle." The Taoist priest nodded and explained: "She is the apprentice of the master. The apprentice of the master is my master. I am a monk halfway. Uncle Jianjia has practiced Taoism with his master since he was a child."
"Then she doesn't have to go to school?" Su Yourong asked a question very keenly.
The Taoist smiled and shook his head: "It's not time to go to school yet."
"But she should be thirteen or fourteen years old, isn't it time yet?" Su Yourong asked.
"That's not what I mean. My junior uncle has already passed the internal recommendation examination of the Department of Philosophy of Peking University. In one year, he can go directly to the Department of Philosophy of Peking University to report." Talking about this, the Taoist priest also said quite proudly.
Zhou Yan almost lost his balance: "How old is she?"
"I am 14 years old this year," the Taoist said.
"Ahem."
Zhou Yan didn't expect that a genius would be around me. I could go to Peking University at the age of 15, which is comparable to some prodigies who skipped a grade.
These days, even Taoist priests come to harass students.
"That's amazing." Su Yourong said in surprise.
"It must be great. The master has only two disciples, one is the master, and the other is the junior uncle. The junior uncle has received the master's true inheritance." Speaking of Qin Jianjia, the middle-aged Taoist priest's face also glowed red, and he had the feeling of an elder. Look at the demeanor of my own Qilinzi.
"Okay, you two laymen, come and eat. If you don't eat, the meal will be cold." The Taoist priest said.
"Is the Taoist the master of Longquan Temple?" Zhou Yan asked.
"No, the master of the temple is my senior brother, but the senior brother is on an academic exchange, and I help him look after the temple." The Taoist priest said.
"That's it."
...
The place for fasting is in the Zhaitang of Longquan Temple.
The original scene of ridicule in the court was no longer there. Instead, there were many Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes enjoying their meal.
When they saw Su Yourong and Zhou Yan, the young Taoist priests were also a little surprised. However, seeing that they were brought by the middle-aged Taoist priests, they all ate their fasting meals in silence, and some were also chanting the fasting mantra in a low voice. While eating, I was very particular.
Middle-aged Taoist priest Wang Lang led Zhou Yan and Su Yourong to where the pilgrims passed through the central hall and came to the place where the pilgrims used their meals. Some vegetarian meals had been prepared there.
There are stir-fried tofu with dried bamboo shoots in salt, stir-fried bamboo shoots with fungus, and roasted pine nuts with chestnuts... They are basically vegetarian dishes made from things that grow in the mountains. Although they look a bit bland, they are full of color, flavor and flavor. Su Yourong takes a look. The child was attracted.
The placement of the bowls on the dining table is also very interesting. Two bowls are placed on the left and one on the right. The one on the left is the rice bowl, and the tachyon is placed horizontally in the middle.
Zhou Yan has been here once and had a vegetarian meal in the same place. She is no stranger to it. However, he didn't see the little Taoist nun who was sometimes spiritual and sometimes happy along the way, and he didn't know where he was eating vegetarian food.
Wang Lang said "take it easy" and left. Because it was some distance away from the central hall, it seemed quiet here. Through the stone window next to it, you could still see the green bamboo leaning on it. The fragrance of bamboo overflowed, giving it a special atmosphere. .
There is a wooden barrel on the dining table. There is rice in the wooden barrel, which is enough for two people. Next to it is a small bottle containing vegetarian wine, which is brewed from sorghum and grapes. Wang Lang also introduced it just now. Zhou Yan sat down very naturally. He took the seat opposite Su Yourong and gestured to the vegetarian wine: "How about having a drink here first?"
Su Yourong: "Yeah, I just want to try what vegetarian wine is like."
She picked up the small bottle and poured it for Zhou Yan and herself. It was similar in color to red wine, but it smelled of a very sweet fragrance.
She took a sip and her eyes lit up: "It tastes better than rice wine."
Although her voice was not loud, it was obviously easy to be heard by the Taoist priest outside. He reminded: "Speak a little louder here."
"I know, I know." Su Yourong whispered in a conscious voice. She picked up the kuaizi and said, "Then let's eat?"
"Began to eat!"
Zhou Yan also moved his index finger when he saw these fragrant vegetarian dishes. He had eaten roasted whole lamb before, which was a good way to relieve his tiredness.
At this moment, Qin Jianjia appeared with two bowls and a pair of kuaizi. She looked at Su Yourong, then at Zhou Yan, tilted her head and asked softly, "Can I eat with you?"
"Isn't the food outside delicious?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It's all the same, but there are many rules. I don't have to follow too many rules when I eat with you." Qin Jianjia said this and came to Su Yourong: "Sister, can I sit next to you?"
"Of course." Su Yourong's heart melted when Qin Jianjia called her sister.
Qin Jianjia smiled lightly and sat next to Su Yourong. Although she said there were many rules and she didn't want to abide by them, she calmly set the bowls quickly.
"What's so special about these two bowls?" Su Yourong asked.
Seeing that the bowls on the right sides of Zhou Yan and Su Yourong were not moved, Qin Jianjia also said softly: "Well, there is a rice bowl on the left, for rice, and a vegetable bowl on the right, for vegetables."
"That's it." Su Yourong heard what Qin Jianjia said and cooperated by putting the vegetables into the bowl on the right.
"Jianjia, I heard that most Taoist priests are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Is this true?" Su Yourong was very curious about the Taoist priests and asked him about it while eating.
Qin Jianjia bulged her mouth, obviously still eating her food. After she swallowed all the food, she said: "These are very simple. You must learn them all. What is difficult is the five Taoist arts."
"What are the five arts of Taoism?"
"It means Shan, medicine, fortune, fortune, and divination. Shan is Taoist martial arts, which is not interesting. Medicine is Taoist medicine, which mainly includes prescriptions, acupuncture, massage, and spiritual healing. These two are the basis, while fortune, fortune, and divination are more profound. Some..."
Qin Jianjia talked eloquently, talking hundreds of words without any pause, blurting out a bunch of Taoist terminology, which sounded very awesome.
Best friend Su listened carefully to Qin Jianjia's voice, while Zhou Yan ate his vegetarian meal slowly and leisurely.
It has to be said that with Qin Jianjia beside him to popularize Taoist knowledge, Zhou Yan ate with gusto.
Xiao Zhou Zhou is very similar to Qin Jianjia, but Xiao Zhou Zhou is very good at medicine and martial arts. As for fortune telling, fortune telling, divination, etc., he has never seen Zhou Zhou demonstrated before. He is also quite fond of such metaphysical things. Interested, the little Taoist nun in front of me is obviously more proficient in the last three.
But it’s so powerful, I don’t know if it can be counted as the rise or fall of the stock.
Probably not.
Zhou Yan had a dark heart, but after Qin Jianjia finished speaking, he said at the right time: "I have a younger sister who has also practiced Taoism."
"Zhou Yan, you have a sister who practices Taoism. How come I haven't heard of you?" Su Yourong was a little surprised.
Qin Jianjia also looked over curiously.
Seeing that Qin Jianjia's appetite was whetted, Zhou Yan also smiled and said, "Well, she used to build roads in Sichuan and Chongqing."
"Really?" Qin Jianjia didn't believe it.
"She taught me a set of health-preserving exercises. Would you like me to give you a call?" Zhou Yan said.
"Okay, after dinner!" Qin Jianjia said concisely and concisely.
After dinner, Qin Jianjia watched Zhou Yan perform a complete set of exercises in the small garden.
It was said to be a martial art, but it was actually just a set of boxing techniques. But after reading it, Qin Jianjia's eyes lit up.
Ignoring Su Yourong's stunned look, Qin Jianjia took hold of Zhou Yan's arm and asked hopefully, "Brother, where is your sister?"
"Like me, she goes to Hongda University." Zhou Yan explained with a smile.
Qin Jianjia said excitedly: "Take me to find her."
"What are you looking for her for?"
"I want to talk to her!"
