Entering the Jingyi Hall, which is shaded by ancient trees, Zhang Wenfeng waved his hands to the disciples who were about to disturb Shi Nanguan after saluting, indicating that they were busy with the eucalyptus slips at hand and did not need to accompany him.
The spacious main hall of Jingyi Hall is divided into semi-open rooms with screens. Everyone is responsible for transcribing and proofreading a bunch of classic books. The fragrance of ink is flowing. Occasionally, I hear someone shaking his head and reciting the wonderful lines in the classics as if no one else is around. He walked along the passage and looked around, nodding to the disciples who stood up upon noticing his arrival.
Walking to the door of the innermost room, he saw Zhuang Yu holding a book in his hands and looking attentively. Shi Nanguan was lying on the eucalyptus table full of books, mumbling something. Neither of them noticed his arrival. Zhang Wenfeng smiled softly. Knocked on the open door.
"Master, why are you here? This place is in a mess. Pumpkin is very lazy and often doesn't take care of the study."
Zhuang Yu quickly put down his book, stood up, saluted, and casually complained about his classmates and friends.
Shi Nanguan smiled and said hello, stretched out his hand to guide the viewer to the coffee table seat next to him, and said: "Master, please say hello in advance, I will take care of the study and clean it up, even sweeping out some idlers. "
】
Zhang Wenfeng ignored the bickering between their fellow disciples. After sitting down, he asked: "How is the compilation of the canonical scriptures and side scriptures done? Do you need me to say hello to other sects?"
Shi Nanguan instructed Zhuang Yu to boil water and make tea. He sat upright and said, "I won't trouble you to come out and say hello for the time being. In the past thirty years, I led people to run around, and most of the Taoist sects in the five continents left. When we arrived, with the reputation of our Immortal Spirit Temple, we gained a lot, and started a trend of copying and compiling the ancient books. In these years, we had the leisure to return to the sect to sit down, correct and copy the classics, and found many problems. "
"Oh, what's the problem?"
Zhang Wenfeng asked with a smile.
"Over time, many scriptures have been tampered with by later generations. Even the Taoist classics handed down from generation to generation have many versions, often with one word difference and a huge difference in meaning. Therefore, the editing efficiency is not high and there are many suspense."
Shi Nanguan seized the rare opportunity to express his bitterness to the temple owner.
Zhang Wenfeng knocked on the coffee table and said: "I suggest you go to the major sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Wushu. They may have Taoist classics from a long time ago, pressed at the bottom of the box, for the predecessors to use for reference. Who can delete or tamper with other scriptures and maintain the original meaning of the scriptures?"
When Shi Nanguan heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense. He stroked his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of this? This method is a different way. Maybe we can find the ancient version." He couldn't sit still anymore. Stones from other mountains can attack jade. He Forgot about this one.
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
Zhang Wenfeng pressed his hand down and said with a smile: "You also went to Huanye County a few days ago. Let me show you another way. The secret realm of Yanyuan has been closed for more than five thousand years for some reason. The spiritual energy ebbs and flows. Compared with the outside world, , the spiritual energy in the secret realm has always been a little inferior. I heard the mountain god who protected the secret realm said that since five thousand years, there have been five spiritual energy ebbs and flows, and no one has broken through to the sixth level, not even the fifth-level monks.
"There are many sects that have been inherited for a long time. The younger monks are not strong enough. They only have third-level and fourth-level cultivation. They cannot open the treasures left by their predecessors. There must be ancient books that have not been turned over for thousands of years. Go find Chen Qingqiao. He knows who carries the heritage of the Taoist sect, and there may be surprises when he opens it."
Shi Nanguan stood up and said with a smile: "I'm familiar with Guanzhu Chen, so I'll go find him right now. Guanzhu, I'm sorry."
After saluting, he hurried out, called a few monks, and flew away.
Zhuang Yu poured a cup of boiled tea for Master, and the two drank tea and chatted. For a long time, they could not even see Master's face. Zhuang Yu took the opportunity to imitate Pumpkin and pour the bitter water first.
"Master, I am a stupid disciple. I have returned to my sect and practiced hard for decades. I finally managed to get through a small level with my stupid skills. In recent years, I feel that I have fallen into a bottleneck and my cultivation has been very slow. I would like to ask Master for some guidance."
Zhuang Yu held up his hand and asked for advice.
Zhang Wenfeng finished drinking the tea in the cup, put down the tea cup, watched his apprentice add seven minutes of tea, and said: "You are actually very talented. You have taught yourself sorcerer, formation and other skills. It doesn't take too much time and you have made great achievements. But you He has a problem, his mind is not calm and he has too many thoughts. He cannot focus on one subject like Qingru, and he is lacking in qualifications compared to Xuanan."
The words were spoken so directly that no room was spared. How could Zhuang Yu dare to sit down any longer? He stood up and listened attentively.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled and gestured to his disciple to sit down, and said: "I will teach you a mantra. There are two forms. How much you can understand depends on your luck. Don't force it. Even if you can only understand one of the techniques, it can help you in your practice. Calm down, just keep an eye on it."
Slowly pinching the mantra of "Lin" in his hand, the gestures were complicated and mysterious. When Zhuang Yu looked at it in fascination, the magic formula was completed, and Zhang Wenfeng suddenly shouted: "Lin!"
He used his own insights to teach Zhuang Yu through words and deeds, and also instilled him with a warning.
Zhuang Yu shuddered and slowly closed his eyes. He was immersed in the "immovable and unconfused" artistic conception created by his master. He was confused and completely emptied of his thoughts. He didn't know where he was, but he actually fell into trance.
Zhang Wenfeng finished drinking the tea, stood up and walked out. He closed the door of the room and told the disciple next door not to let anyone disturb Zhuang Yu's practice. Zhuang Yu was very smart and had good understanding. He accepted the mantra very quickly, which was a bit surprising. It was beyond his expectation.
He does not expect Zhuang Yu to be able to fully learn the mystery of the word "lin". There are no ancient scrolls and scriptures. It is good to be able to understand 30% from his insights, which will be of great benefit to future practice.
Walk down the mountain and follow the creek to the west.
You Lao originally said that he would go to the sea area in half a month. Tomorrow is the half-month period. Did the old man forget the time?
Zhang Wenfeng raised his head and looked toward the southwest. Two figures gradually became clearer and soon landed in front of the viewer.
Xiao Ni'er smiled and called out "Master Guanzhu" and then said, "I went to play with Silly Ni'er, call me tomorrow", and ran away without a trace.
Zhang Wenfeng teased the old man and said, "Whether it's going to the Willow River or the Bolan Lake in the demon clan's territory, it's more than a thousand miles away. You, Mr. You, have gone a bit far."
You Mengchang chuckled and said: "I forgot to tell you that after I advance to the fifth level, it is not easy to be able to travel five thousand miles away and no longer be limited to within a thousand miles." He looked up and down at the viewer who had not seen him for more than ten days. , Digu said: "It's strange, why is there an incomprehensible mysterious aura about you? How can we not have a chance encounter after not seeing you for a few days?"
"Then please do the math, what chance did I have this time?"
Zhang Wenfeng deliberately tested the old man.
The Earth Protector was in the sect and didn't notice anything unusual about him. You Lao was indeed a senior, and he could see something different at a glance.
You Mengchang calculated with his hands for a while, then shook his head and said: "Things involving you are so foggy that I can't figure them out. I can only make inferences every time and make inferences based on the sources of people or things related to you."
Zhang Wenfeng stopped pretending and asked with a smile: "What good does the double canopy do to the monks?" Last time I wanted to ask Bai Wuchang from the side, but the guy could run faster than a rabbit and his mouth was very tight.
"...Uh, my God, it's a double canopy, you found a treasure!"
It was rare for Chief You Meng to be so excited, so he hurriedly urged: "Quickly, display it to open my eyes to this legendary extremely rare double canopy. Haha, I am so lucky. I am lucky enough to be your companion."
He understood that there was someone in the court who wanted to be an official, and the underworld would attribute the great contribution of rescuing thousands of souls in the secret realm to the temple master, so that the temple master's merits could be doubled.
They may not have left much merit and benefit, but anyway, it is invisible and cannot be noticed until a certain level.
