Chang Xiu said: "Oh? Who is it?"
Li Bochen said: "I met a storyteller named Zheng Zhao in Houcheng. I met him a few times, but I can't say that we have a deep friendship. I originally planned to play a casual chess game, but now I see that I can't be idle anymore. . If we can invite that person here, it will be of great use."
Chang Qiuwu said: "The man from the bookstore? Well, I have heard of this man. Junhou, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to invite him. This man is actually a director of the Houcheng Bookstore. Although he is not a rich man, his life is decent. . I really want to invite you... I’m afraid this invitation will not be the best.”
Li Boxen was stunned. Is Zheng Zhao so famous?
He thought for a while and said: "Maybe there is a chance - when I entered Houcheng, I met Yu Meng. He was a roving general of the Houcheng City Army. I didn't want to do anything in the city at that time. I didn't want to rob him. Well, I mentioned Zheng Zhao to him before that."
"Yu Meng, I don't think he is a small-minded person. But the clay man also has a temperament. He has suffered such a loss from me. He should go back to Zheng Zhao to ask for a thorough explanation. If he is angry for a moment, he might as well return it. We have to make him suffer a little. If this is the case, it would be easy to handle. But I'm afraid Zheng Zhao will feel that he can't stay in Houcheng and leave. This matter must be done as soon as possible. "
Chang Xiu said: "Okay, write this down."
After pondering for a moment, he said: "You guys retreat first."
The maid and male servant serving not far away bowed and walked away.
Chang Xiu said: "Bochen, now let's talk about the canonization of the tiger."
Li Bochen spoke softly and said seriously: "Grandpa, please tell me."
Chang Xiu said: "Qiu Wu, it's time for you to listen."
"When the late Emperor was here, I served as the Young Minister of Taichang Temple. In fact, the post of Minister of Taichang Temple was taken by the late king. In addition to being in charge of ceremonial matters, I, the young minister, also have another responsibility. If the late king dies suddenly, I will be the young minister. I teach the new king the art of meeting the emperor and requesting the dharma body. Within a country, there are usually only two people who know this method. Now in the Li country, I should be the only one who knows it."
"This matter has been kept a secret for all dynasties. Qiu Wu, if I am no longer here one day, you will have to do this."
Li Bochen thought to himself, so what Bi Hai told him was just the first step? Is that method used to "visit the emperor"? It's just that he didn't expect that he would use that method and end up in that realm and become Beichen.
Chang Qiuwu was stunned and said: "Not here? Ancestor, why do you say such things? You are already in the Dragon and Tiger realm, and you will reach the Lingzhao realm in the future, and the days are still long!"
After listening to his words, Li Boxen couldn't help but said, Oh, yes. Why did I first think about the Dharma and not this sentence? He felt a little guilty - even though he called his grandfather one after another and knew that this was his relative, he was still alienated in the end. Right now, in my heart, I still only regard the Chang family as "partners" temporarily, right?
He didn't know whether this was right or wrong. But suddenly I thought that Meng Meng clearly said that there were three people in the Chang family, and that Chang Qiuwu's father and Chang Gaoyi were still alive and out. Why did grandpa want to entrust the responsibility to Chang Qiuwu?
Chang Xiu smiled and said: "I came from a temple and practiced Beichen Zhengfa. Now I have stayed in the Dragon and Tiger Realm for more than forty years, and I know that my oil is about to run out. If I want to advance to the Third Realm of Middle School, I am afraid that there will be no hope in this life. Qiu Wu, you will know when you come to me. Practitioners use their luck to defy destiny, and there will always be an end. In this world, in addition to emperors, even Yuanjun and Zhenjun also have life spans. , who can avoid death? There is nothing taboo about the two words life and death."
Li Bochen sighed secretly, thinking that this was actually the truth. Grandpa will definitely not lack any genius or treasure, and his realm will not be restricted by "lack of spiritual power" like ordinary people. The bottleneck he mentioned was probably due to his body. After cultivating to the Dragon and Tiger realm, one can live to be one hundred and fifty years old, but by the time one is one hundred and forty years old, his body will gradually age. If you fail to break into the realm of spiritual illumination before the age of one hundred and forty, and your meridians and joints will gradually decline in the future, it will really be impossible.
So, grandpa is now over 140 years old?
He couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, I am a descendant of Beichen, and Netherworld is also in charge of life and death. Maybe we can still find a way."
Chang Xiu smiled and said: "You want to change my fate in the book of life and death? I'm afraid that even if the emperor listens, he won't agree. Beichen, I'm going to be treasonous. Even the emperors must follow the way of heaven. If you are lucky, how can you ruin your practice for us mortals? Well, I know your filial piety - Bo Chen, let me now tell you the art of inviting the Dharmakaya."
Chang Qiuwu still looked a little stunned and sad, as if it was the first time he heard Chang Xiu talk about his practice, life and death. Li Bochen thought of Ying Ge. When we first met, I heard him talk about the secrets of spiritual gods. At that time, Ying Geng looked very serious and careful. It seemed that mentioning secret spirits and emperors would cause big troubles accidentally. But grandpa is not like him and can even make jokes. Why?
At this time, Chang Xiu said: "I will first tell you two the incantation for inviting the Dharmakaya. This incantation is more complicated than the method of meeting, and I'm afraid it will take some time to understand it. You will listen to it today, and when you go back You can slowly understand it."
Then he sat upright and said the incantation in detail. The spell and spell for the audience that Li Bochen got from Bi Hai was not long, and he could finish reciting it silently in just one breath. But Chang Xiu spoke for a full quarter of an hour about the incantation to invite the Dharmakaya. After saying this, he continued: "Bochen, if you really want to use this spell to enthrone a living spiritual god in the future, you still need to welcome the emperor, lay jade and silk fabrics, present three gifts, and send three gifts. At that time, I will teach you those etiquette."
"Qiu Wu, this is your first time listening to this method. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Chang Qiuwu thought for a while and said: "I understand it generally. There are some parts that I don't understand, but I can think about it again."
Chang Xiu nodded and looked at Li Bochen: "Bochen, what about you?"
Li Bochen frowned and said, "This..."
Chang Xiu smiled and said: "If you don't understand anything, just tell me. I'll help you straighten it out first, and you can think about it slowly after you go back."
Li Boxen could only smile bitterly and said: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't understand anything, it's that I don't understand anything."
This incantation to summon the Dharmakaya sounds quite strange. Li Bochen originally thought that it was about how to regulate the movement of one's own qi, just like the art of visiting, but in fact it didn't sound like a spell, but rather it seemed to be talking about the gods. He didn't know the meaning of many of the words, but he knew they referred to a certain Yuanjun or Emperor. He also compared these Yuanjun and Emperors to certain meridians and key points, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that those meridians were not human.
This mantra is indeed very profound. What it is talking about is how to use spiritual power within oneself to build an "altar" like a sky full of stars. You may even have to release part of the spiritual power outside, and then on this basis, summon Beichen. The emperor's luck or true spirit.
But his problem is that some of the terms Chang Xiu said have allusions. For example, there is a sentence that Li Boxen can barely understand - Xuan Gong steals one's life. The characters "steal" and "ming" are both easy to understand. Stealing means drawing and connecting; fate means inferring and running. But the word Xuan Gong is too troublesome. His first thought was about Emperor Beichen, but it was obviously unreasonable. Then he thought again, maybe he was referring to True Lord Tianxuan Due. That true king controls the flow of fortune in the legend, so he is worthy of it. But since the whole mantra is related to the movement of one's own spiritual energy, perhaps this true king is referring to the Fengchi point in the third level of Tongmai. Then these four words mean that the movement of spiritual power in Fengchi point will always lead to the channel. Pulse? But since Xuan Palace is mentioned, it must be related to luck. So how do the words "stealing" and "fate" refer to the connection?
Concepts like this are ambiguous in one sentence, but they must have something to do with the context. But Li Boxen couldn't even understand the previous and following sentences, nor did he know which classic it was in, and what it actually referred to. He felt that in the final analysis it was because he did not read enough.
After he said this, Chang Xiu sighed: "These years have really been hard on you."
Then he said: "Forget it, things will be over here later, you go to my place to get the books. You are extremely talented and have good luck. You will learn these things much faster than others."
Li Boxen said: "Thank you very much, grandpa."
But he was thinking in his heart that the last time he used Bi Hai's method, he ran directly to that realm. It can be seen that using these methods is one thing for people with good luck, but it is another thing for Beichen to use them himself. Now if this mantra to invite the Dharmakaya really works, what benefits will it have?
The three of them drank a few more cups of tea, then walked around in several wooden houses. Seeing that Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu looked at it carefully and seemed to really want to live here, Li Bochen expressed his thoughts when he saw Jinghu Mountain.
Chang Qiuwu said: "Junhou, what you said makes sense. But if it wasn't on this mountain, it would be really..."
Li Boxen said: "So I think it would be great if I could find the secret site of Leiyun Cave. Grandpa, what is it like in that cave? If things go bad in the future, maybe we can ask someone to hide there."
Chang Xiu thought for a moment and said: "All secret realms are built according to the atmosphere of mountains and rivers. If Leiyun Cave is to build a secret realm in this mountain, it should look like a valley. But even if it is found, it can still avoid disaster for a while. , it is impossible to live for a long time. After all, the secret realm is 'borrowed' earth energy. Since it is borrowed, it must be returned. Therefore, the surrounding earth energy circulates endlessly to maintain their form. But too many people are required to enter. Go and disturb the earth's energy, and the secret realm will collapse."
Li Boxen felt a little disappointed. He originally thought, if the secret realm was big and there was land, wouldn't it be nice to move people there to cultivate and make a living? But now that I know this, I understand that it is impossible.
He said, "If this is the case, I think we can build a city."
Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu were both stunned. After a while, Chang Qiuwu said: "Junhou, this, the matter of building the city..."
He thought about it again and said: "This matter is a bit difficult. There are thousands of people in the village, which seems to be a lot, but there are only two or three hundred young men. These people want to build a city. If they are small, they will not be useful. If they are large, they will be useless." , it would be impossible to enclose all the surrounding fields and still be able to barely defend against the enemy for seven or eight years."
Li Boxen said: "What if we don't use rammed earth or stones, but use wood?"
Chang Qiuwu couldn't help but said: "What's the use?"
Naturally useful. For example, building a city with wood from his place is almost like making it with steel. As long as the craftsmen are asked to think about how to use and support it, it may be stronger than the stone city. But at this time, he hadn't thought about how to mention this matter, so he said: "Okay, I'm just talking casually."
Chang Xiu said: "We will talk about this matter slowly later, and we are not in a hurry. It's getting late, let's go down the mountain and have a look."
The three of them went down the mountain and waited until about four o'clock in the afternoon to finish putting away the food, and then walked back to the Chang's house. Along the way, I finally felt that the village was alive again, with smoke rising from the cooking stoves, and it looked like it had when he first arrived.
Return to the house and have dinner first. Fang Cheng came with him, but he didn't have a table, and he couldn't eat with the servants in the house, so he had a separate table for him. After they had eaten and drank enough, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu discussed some people's livelihood matters in the hall. For example, who should be appointed to what positions first, what are the top priorities in the coming days, how to organize spring planting, and how to allocate cattle.
When talking about this, Li Bochen couldn't say anything. The Chang family discussed a result and asked, "What do you think of the monarch?" Li Bochen could only say "ok". When it came to how to prepare for Sui Wujiu when he came, he said a few words.
He had suffered losses from Sui Wujiu, and although he had a good impression of Sui Bujiu, he still treated them as potential enemies to guard against. This is why we talked about building a city in the afternoon. But during the conversation, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiuwu didn't seem to be very worried about them. Li Bochen didn't know whether Chang Xiu was too confident in the general trend of the world he had analyzed before, or for some other reason.
After saying these things, Chang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the people you just listed?"
He was referring to the men who would be appointed to do the work, twelve in all. Among them, Meng Peiyong became the owner of the art museum, which was proposed by Li Boxen. There was another Lady Meng, whom Chang Qiuwu asked to take charge of the land and surveying matters in the village. Only then did Li Bochen realize that most of the large fields in the village belonged to her family. He had never heard of the other nine people, but since Chang Xiu had an agreement with Chang Qiuwu, he must be capable, so he said: "Grandpa, I don't have any objections."
After saying these things, he went to Chang Xiu's study to pick up a few books. Li Bochen and Fang Pei said goodbye and left.
It was dark when we left last night, and it was the same today. The two walked for a while, and then Li Boxen noticed that Fang Yun was silent and glanced at him. Seeing him frowning slightly, he seemed unhappy. Then he smiled and said: "Brother Fang, what's wrong? I want you to be my ten generals."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face. But he said: "General, it's not because of this."
After saying this, he remained silent. One good thing about him is that he never hesitates when speaking, which is very strange at this time. Li Boxen asked: "What's the reason for that?"
Fang Yu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. If I say it, I'm a villain in vain."
Li Bochen laughed: "The two of us have been fighting each other since Zhangcheng. What's not to say? Tell me, I don't blame you for anything."
Fang Bao then said: "Okay, then let me tell you - the Chang family is too bullying. General, I can't stand it."
