Wudang Mountain, Little Lotus Peak. The night fell and everything was silent. The crescent moon had not yet reached the tops of the willow trees. It was held up slantingly in the sky by the mountains, making the surrounding stars lose their color.
Thousands of feet of cliff, tens of thousands of feet of steep wall, in the artificially dug corridor, under a statue of Emperor Zhenwu stepping on a snake and a turtle, a topless Taoist priest named Sanfeng is lying on his side, breathing slowly, which is the most common sight in Taoism. The mind wants to sleep.
Place the heart of the left hand under the head, open the tiger's mouth, and place the left ear between the thumb and index finger to ventilate the ear orifice.
The head and spine are upright, the tongue is on the roof of the mouth, the left leg is slightly bent and placed on the ground, the right leg is straightened and pressed on the left leg, the heart of the right hand is placed on the navel, the Qi sinks inside, and the concentration is on the sea of Qi in the Dantian in the navel.
This physical method and the mental method are combined into one. You can still meditate on the mental method while sleeping, and use your body to sense the heaven and the earth. The heaven and earth are like chicken eggs, and you can hide yourself inside, so you can feel great freedom.
In front of the bare-chested Taoist priest, there were tortoise-shell copper plates, bamboo skewers and bamboo tubes scattered on the floor. Further outside, on the faucet incense stick that stretched out for more than ten feet, the Taoist priest sat cross-legged with a groan, folded his hands on his chest and muttered in anger: "Pretend, you can continue." Pretend! After eating and sleeping, you are always in tune all day long. When I tell you something, you just pretend to be deaf and mute and pretend that you can’t hear. How could you do that, master?" He turned around to see that his master was still completely indifferent. At the sound of the movement, the Taoist morale hummed and continued: "I have told you, all the hexagrams show that disaster comes from obstacles, and the back is surrounded by water. I specially went to Qiongtai Temple to kowtow to Emperor Zhenwu to pray for it. Can the signature be fake? Do you want me to go down the mountain? Just say something. If you let me, you will not let me. What do you mean by not paying attention to me? I have been here for a long time, so it’s better for you. You are here Pretending to be asleep, are you worthy of me working from dawn to dusk to serve you food, steal wine for you, and tell you new things happening in the mountains? What about you? Are you such a master? In addition to bullying me, you have the ability. Go ahead and bully others. If I don’t go down the mountain, I won’t go down the mountain. Why can’t you run for me? The disciple is worried to death here. You are just a master. I can’t practice if my heart is damaged. ." The little Taoist priest kept thinking about all kinds of threats that were made with emotion and reason, but the master didn't even respond.
The little Taoist priest, on the verge of going berserk, finally endured it, and angrily removed the faucet incense, danced towards the master who actually didn't know whether he was asleep or not, and shouted at the money speck that was sleeping in the darkness in the corner. Leopard, gone.
After one person and one leopard walked away, the thin Taoist priest just turned over and sat up, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Why does this child become like a girl and talk endlessly? Don't really hold it back and become one again." Ladies." Leaning on the stone wall, looking at the stars in the sky through the dragon head incense, the thin Taoist priest casually patted the stone wall behind him. The Zhenwu statue, which was obviously just carved, cracked and fell, without dust. .
"Emperor Zhenwu won't go down the mountain until he proves the Great Way. No matter what, you have to wait for nine days before I welcome the eighty-one true body of Zhenwu. Go down the mountain, go down the mountain of a hammer." The little Taoist babbled as he walked, still complaining. Due to Master's unreasonableness and lack of compassion,
"Why did I end up with such a master? What sins did I commit in my previous life and how could I be reincarnated as his disciple? Hua Baozi, people in the mountains say that you have great supernatural powers. Why don't you tell me whether my master and I were enemies in my previous life?" Either I killed him, or else how can I be his apprentice and let him suppress me in this life." The leopard with an unusual color just shook its head and snorted, and yawned with its mouth wide open. Of course there is no answer.
"Huh? That's right!" An idea flashed in the little Taoist's mind. He walked a few steps and squatted in front of the leopard, caressing the big head, and said: "Leopard, leopard, I know you can understand what I say, right?" , if you can understand, if you still remember, can you go down the mountain for me to find the female benefactor of the Ye family? No, it was the two bald female benefactors who were on our mountain some time ago. The hexagram I prayed for her said She is in trouble in mid-spring, and I can't go down the mountain. Can you go there?" The money-spotted leopard narrowed his eyes like knives and stretched out his long barbed tongue to lick his nose, and his whole body trembled. , raised his feet and walked around the little Taoist priest, arched his whole body back, and laid his front half on the ground. The long body containing infinite power burst out with a crackling sound, which was shocking.
Then, before the little Taoist priest, who had seen such a situation for the first time, screamed in surprise, the wild, pet-like beast that had been nestling next to the little Taoist priest all day suddenly kicked its hind legs, jumped up, and lifted its four feet off the ground. The gravel on the ground hit the stone wall of the corridor one after another, crackling like the leopard stretching out just now, and then he jumped out of the corridor and plunged down the cliff.
The little Taoist priest looked delighted. He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the pitch-black abyss. He couldn't see his fingers when he heard a dull sound.
"Oh woo" resounded throughout Taihe Mountain. The little Taoist priest said to himself,
"No master is reliable." There was a sneeze on the cliff not far away, and then the thin Taoist priest shouted and cursed: "Zhang Yunji, you are a hammer, and you are scolding me again!" A golden leopard came from the mountain, and quickly If there is lightning, go all the way west.
