"It's good that you can work peacefully and read the Bible quietly."
Senior Brother Wan nodded, stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.
"I remember that there were only those who couldn't hold themselves back from going down the mountain.
Those who came with you have been taught the Dharma.
There are even people who came later than you and obtained the Dharma before you.
I wonder if you have any complaints? "
Ling Qing was startled again when he heard this, but because Senior Brother Wan had always looked calm, there was no other expression on his face.
He could only answer carefully.
"It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel any excitement when I saw the other senior brothers being taught immortal techniques.
But if you're complaining, that's not enough. "
At the same time, he thought to himself that this was probably his final test.
"oh?
Didn't you come up to the mountain just to seek immortality?
Now it is only given to others but not to you. Do you have no complaints in your heart? "
Senior Brother Wan then asked.
"Senior brother and others have their own reasons for how to teach the Dharma. They are not allowed to teach it. Naturally, my predestined Dharma has not yet arrived.
However, my junior brother firmly believes that I am destined to the Tao. "
Lingqing answered honestly, saying exactly what he thought.
Regardless of the reason for not getting the teachings from the senior brothers, it is indeed the consideration of the senior brothers and even the master.
There must be something that fails to meet their requirements.
As for saying that he is destined to the Tao, whether it is the inheritance of the Druid or the method of restraining spirits and transforming into gods, they are all methods that lead directly to the Tao.
If he has these two things and still says that he has no connection with the Tao, then Lingqing will definitely not believe it.
If he said that he had no fate with Shangqing Palace, the master would not take him in since he went up the mountain.
The senior brothers will not hide it or say that they are not destined.
They don't even bother to entertain themselves.
"You are quite confident."
Senior Brother Wan nodded seemingly satisfied, then suddenly waved him to leave on his own.
"That's it, go ahead."
Ling Qing was stunned for a while after hearing this, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and bowed his hands.
"yes."
After entering the Sutra Hall, he picked up a sutra, but he couldn't read any of it and couldn't calm down.
If we were told that Li Li, Tian Yong and others were taught the Dharma before, they were also accompanied by two acquaintances, Li Qing and Zhang Zhe.
He even comforted them.
When both of them were taught the Dharma, he was still able to calm down, comprehend the divine Dharma, and wait with peace of mind.
Ling Qing even believed that even when the copy ended, he still had not been taught the law.
Apart from being a little disappointed, I can still accept it calmly.
But when Senior Brother Wan asked him this question today, he couldn't hold himself back any longer.
I thought that Senior Brother Wan's inquiry was to pave the way for teaching the Dharma, but in the end it turned out to be just a question.
Even if you don't get it, you will admit it. After all, you have gained a lot.
But it's a bit uncomfortable to give yourself hope, but then let yourself know that it's just your illusion.
As a result, not only did Lingqing not read a word of it that night, he even forgot about copying the scriptures.
He didn't say a word all the way back to the dormitory, didn't do any evening classes, and fell asleep.
Zhang Zhe on the side opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Zhu Guang, who was next to him, didn't know what was going on, so he kept asking him with winks.
Zhang Zhe didn't know what happened specifically, so he could only shake his head.
It was dark the next day, so Lingqing, who had fallen asleep very late last night, got up early.
Sitting on the futon, I didn’t do any morning prayers, and just recited the Mind-Purifying Mantra over and over again.
"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes;
Exorcise evil spirits and bind evil spirits, protect life and body;
Wisdom is clear and the mind is peaceful;
The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss. "
At first I was a little upset and confused when I read it.
It wasn't until the scarlet reminder appeared in front of him that he forced himself to calm down and chant slowly.
They didn't stop until Zhang Zhe and Zhu Guang woke up.
At this time, his state of mind had calmed down a lot after a night's sleep and the blessing of the divine spell.
It seems that I am still not as calm as I imagined.
After telling Zhang Zhe and Zhu Guang what happened yesterday, looking at their worried expressions, I felt calmer.
He smiled and said: "It's okay, I guess it's because I haven't had the chance yet.
As long as I am dedicated to paying homage and asking questions with concentration, I will definitely be able to win the approval of my master and senior brother and teach me the immortal method. "
"Of course, you are more of a cultivator than us.
Maybe the master and senior brothers have other expectations for you. "
Seeing this, the two of them suppressed their worries and comforted him with a smile.
Ling Qing naturally understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything else.
He just smiled slightly, finished his homework with the two of them, and played Wuqinxi again.
At this time, Wu Qin Xi has been completely perfected, and no matter how hard he practices, he will not be able to make any progress.
But he had gotten used to it, and if he suddenly stopped practicing, he would always feel like he was lacking something.
So I applied it once a day and used it to stretch my muscles after morning classes.
After breakfast, we went to Chaishan to collect firewood as usual, and at the same time we took good care of the Disha tree.
At noon, Tian Yong and others were comforted again, and Tian Yong and others learned about yesterday's events from Zhang Zhe.
In the evening, I still go to the Sutra Collection Hall. After returning, I finish my daily evening classes and then turn off the lights and rest.
More than half a month passed like this, when Ling Qing recovered his mind and almost forgot what happened that day.
"Lingqing, come with me."
That same evening, Senior Brother Wan stopped him again.
"Senior Brother Tong?"
Lingqing was a little confused when he saw Senior Brother Wan getting up from behind the case, and Senior Brother Tong standing aside, who was originally going to be on duty on the first floor in a few days.
When Senior Brother Wan was on duty at the Sutra Collection Hall, except when the bell was ringing in the evening, he would usually lie on the desk copying sutras and rarely leave.
At this time, he was actually asked to leave together and asked Senior Brother Tong to temporarily replace him. He didn't know what was going on.
"Yes, senior brother."
However, he didn't ask any more questions. After responding, he saluted Senior Brother Tong and turned around to follow.
After turning a few corners in the Sutra Hall, Lingqing followed Senior Brother Wan to a quiet room.
"This is my quiet room."
After a brief introduction, Senior Brother Wan extended his hand and said.
"sit."
"Thank you, senior brother."
After Lingqing thanked him, he found a futon and sat down, taking a moment to look at the quiet room.
Simple, very simple.
Except for the word "Tao" hanging on the wall opposite the door, there are only a few futons, a low table and an incense burner on it.
There are also bookshelves full of scriptures surrounding it.
"Leave gains and losses at will, and have a firm mind."
Senior Brother Wan waited until Lingqing finished looking at him and turned to look at him before he spoke.
"Although I know you have other sources of support, it's not all because of your deep cultivation of mind.
But you're pretty good at making it this far. "
Lingqing often asked Senior Brother Wan for advice on the cryptic terms in the Julinghua divine method.
Although he will also be mixed with Taoist terminology.
But with Senior Brother Wan's ability, he can naturally tell the difference, and he also knows that he must have another chance.
It's just that he has his own destiny, and he is not the kind of person who is motivated by profit, so he didn't bother too much.
