This dream is probably the only dream that I remember the most since I was a child.
So much so that when I woke up, all I could think about was the uprooted flower. It was obviously at the end of its life, but it was still trying to smile at me.
That smiling face made me feel a little familiar inexplicably.
There is also the dream of rescuing the puppy. I can vaguely guess that it may be some kind of reminder given to me by the fairy family.
Because in Chu Maxian's dream, the dog in the dream represents the Hu family, and the cat in the dream represents the Huang family.
I don’t know what the principle is, that’s what He Yuchen told me.
Therefore, it is very possible that I saved a fox in my previous life, and fate has always been involved. In this life, some immortal family found me and came to repay my kindness.
But that flower...could it be Zhang Wenwen's previous life?
I couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think too much about it, so I just ignored it.
Even if we are destined to be destined but not destined to each other, I will always stick to the beginning and end and never leave.
I was practicing drawing talismans that day. Uncle Ma passed by with a tea cup, glanced at me, and then said nothing, deliberately making the sound of blowing tea loud.
I looked up at him and then at the talisman I drew.
The talisman taught by He Yuchen is very different from the Taoist one, but it is simpler and less complicated.
But judging from what Uncle Ma meant, he was somewhat disdainful.
I asked Uncle Ma: "What do you think of this talisman I drew? Does it have spiritual power?"
Uncle Ma sat down aside, drank tea and said, "More or less, you are a bit too much. I taught you how to draw talisman before, but why can't I see you being so diligent and motivated?"
I chuckled and said, "It's not my fault. Who asked you to teach it so complicatedly? I can't even remember it. This one is simpler."
In fact, what I said is the truth. I have no personal opinion on Uncle Ma's talisman. It's all out of laziness.
Uncle Ma wasn't angry at all, he just said to me: "Okay, you can draw whatever you like. Anyway, they all work. Moreover, Ma Xian's talisman borrows the power of the immortal family. It is relatively simple. It is not like the Taoist talisman. It is indeed It’s a little troublesome.”
I asked Uncle Ma: "But I saw that Ma Xian's talisman also has words like edicts on it, as well as the names and taboos of various gods. In the final analysis, is this Taoism?"
Uncle Ma said: "You are right, different paths lead to the same goal. In the end, we all go to the great road. When we make talismans, we use our own energy to summon the gods. When you make talismans, you use the power of the immortal family to summon the gods. . So mine is a Taoist talisman, which is more complex and profound. Your kind is an immortal talisman. To put it bluntly, it is some common talismans among the people, which are easy to understand. And the immortal talismans are not limited to Taoism, Buddhist talismans are also It works.”
This is true. Among the talismans He Yuchen taught me, there were indeed several names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas written on them.
While I was talking, the courier came and handed me a package.
I opened the package and inside was a set of large seals I bought on Taobao.
In fact, I wanted to buy a peach wood seal, but the wood tends to crack over time, so the jade seal I bought cost more than a thousand yuan.
I took out these seals one by one, and Uncle Ma looked at them with a strange look.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really spent a lot of money... Taoist Master Bao, Taishang Laojun, Lingbao Tianzun, Jiutian Xuannv, Jade Emperor, and Netherworld Cult Leader, City God Land, Five Ways of Wealth God... Not bad, not bad, better than my Yindu "More, that's not right, you still lack the Harmony Immortal. You can do marriages and legal affairs for others, or attract a romantic partner, etc. You must use this."
There was nothing wrong with what Uncle Ma said, but his tone sounded like he was laughing at me.
Because I know that Uncle Ma only has two seals in total, one is the Taoist Master's Treasure and the other is the Supreme Laojun.
I made more than ten of them!
But there's nothing I can do about it. I'm a charlatan, and I have to follow the rules here.
So I could only smile and say to him: "I can't compare to you, old man. You rely on your own cultivation. I have to rely on the old immortal. These seals are not for me to use, they are all for the old immortal."
Uncle Ma blinked at me: "So, do you want to try to become a Taoist? Because after you become a Taoist, your own cultivation level will be higher, which will also help the Immortal Family to improve, and it will be easier to communicate with the Immortal Family than you are now. Much more powerful.”
Uncle Ma was a bit deceitful. I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't object, but I have to listen to the arrangements of the immortal family. Someone told me before that there will be reminders when you enter Buddhism and Taoism, such as dreams and so on. I I don’t feel anything now, so I can’t enter the Tao, right?”
Uncle Ma scratched his head: "That's true... Hey, let's do this for now. It doesn't matter whether it's Buddha or Taoism. Just be happy. Just be happy."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and strolled over to watch TV.
But I could vaguely see a trace of disappointment in his steps.
I thought about it, put the big seal away, and walked to his side.
"Uncle Ma, are you unhappy?"
"Nonsense, how could I be unhappy? I'm living a good life, what's there to be unhappy about?"
"Really? That's good. Actually, I'm in Nanjing this time, thanks to the things you taught me before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle those things."
"That's nothing. It's just superficial. It's not a big deal."
"No, what you teach is all about big skills. I'm just lazy and don't pay attention to learning."
When I said this, Uncle Ma raised his head and looked at me: "Is this your conscience? Why are you suddenly telling me this? It's weird. Don't tell me that you want to go out and start your own business."
I quickly waved my hand: "No, no, no, how is that possible? I will always be your apprentice. I will be where you are... Besides, you have to rent a house by yourself when you go out. I am not short-sighted."
"Bah, you are very thoughtful, but... Xiaofan, there is one thing I want to chat with you about."
My heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself that he wanted to drive me away because I was so obsessed with it now, right?
Uncle Ma took a sip of tea, brewed it for a while, and then said to me.
"Actually, it doesn't matter at all whether you have entered Taoism or not. It's just like many people trying their best to convert to Buddhism. They think they are Buddhist disciples after receiving a refuge certificate. This is a big mistake."
"Whether it's Taoism's teachings or Buddhism's conversion, from the surface, it gives the world a formal proof and identity."
"But this kind of thing cannot truly regulate a person's behavior. I just wanted you to enter the Tao, but I couldn't give you these forms. I want you to enter the Tao with your heart and realize the great way of heaven and earth through your own words, deeds and practice. Only by understanding the truth of the universe can we better communicate and integrate with the immortal family, do you understand?"
When I heard that Uncle Ma was not chasing me away, I felt relieved, nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, the Tao is in the heart, not outside."
He said "hmm" and said, "As long as you understand, what Uncle Ma means is that whether it is Taoism or martial arts, there is no need to be too formal. Just like those big seals of yours, they are definitely useful. But in fact, it’s the same without those seals. If your cultivation level is higher in the future, you will understand what is the seal of void transformation, the center of all dharma."
