After leaving Zhengming Building, Ji Xiaohua put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "I won't accompany you anymore, and I will find a good place to relax. Let's go back each other."
Xiang Tianwen was stunned and asked: "Do we still need your guidance for the next stage of our practice? And it seems that we cannot enter the small world of the scroll independently."
Ji Xiaohua shook her head and said, "Who said you're going back to the small world? Each of you has two days off. Two days later, you'll return at the same time. At that time, Chief Zhao will assess your cultivation achievements."
"Have a holiday?"
Xiang Tianwen subconsciously touched his bald head and said in surprise.
Ji Xiaohua said unhurriedly: "In the path of cultivation, there is a difference between the cultivation of 'Tao Gong' and 'World Gong'."
"To practice Tao Kung Fu, you only need to follow each other's own practice and proceed step by step; but this is not the case with World Kung Fu. The so-called 'Nineteen World Kung Fu' are just the most effective and convenient methods summarized through practicing in the world. They can be regarded as 'strong medicine' ’, but by no means all.”
"Essentially, 'worldly merit' is a part of 'life'. Every move, every cry and every laugh you make in the 'secular part'; all your endeavors and all your professions are all completed without leaving a trace. The accumulation of success. It would be too narrow if we only focus on nineteen specific behaviors such as 'likes'."
Mu Xueqing held her chin with her left hand, thoughtfully; Xiang Tianwen frowned and continued to scratch his head.
Ji Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Well... let's find something to do."
"The accumulation of life alone is not enough. In your secular life, you can find some specific things to do. You just need to arrange the time. The subsequent practice will be the same as the first seven days. I have my own arrangements for the first five days; I have the next two days off."
"Forty-nine days of work is not done to the end."
Ji Xiaohua glanced at Xiang Tianwen and said: "For example, you are very suitable for street busking and other jobs. Many acrobatic clubs in Shendu hire part-time workers, and the wages are paid per day. If you are interested, I can do it. Let me introduce you to a family.”
"If you have leisure, take these five days of rest and carefully ponder and understand all the theories I have described, and regard it as a preview of your homework."
Xiang Tianwen blinked and was speechless for a moment.
Ji Xiaohua put her hands behind her back and Shi Shiran left.
Xu Zhenyun did not miss Ji Xiaohua's "guidance" and seemed to be listening attentively. But in fact, he was multitasking and was still thinking rapidly about the "vision" he had just seen in the box.
There is no doubt that what happened today proved that the yellow talisman paper that turned into ashes after falling was not a coincidence, but was closely related to him.
At least it's because of something "special" about me that I can see him.
Is it because of the Daoxin chessboard or something else?
Furthermore, it was further confirmed that this thing could only be seen by herself. Even if Ji Xiaohua was at the fourth level of cultivation and ranked first on the Earth Ranking, she had no sense of the existence of that "talisman paper"!
"But, there is a little difference..."
Xu Zhenyun discovered that the "talisman paper" he saw in the backyard of his home last time had blurry writing on it, and it was not just because he didn't pay attention.
In fact, even if I paid attention at the time, I couldn't seem to see clearly what was on the talisman paper.
But just now, Xu Zhenyun had a clear thought in his mind:
If the talisman paper turned into ashes a few seconds slower, it would be possible for me to see the content on it clearly!
Is it because my eyesight has been further strengthened?
Xu Zhenyun looked at it from a distance, and the street scene in Shendu was clearly visible. Each of the tall, straight iron and wood buildings is very distinct and clear.
It seems that my eyesight has improved a bit; but I don't have the confidence to see farther and more detailedly... Is it just a psychological effect?
However, during the two stages of exploring the foggy area in the small world and just seeing the mysterious yellow talisman, Xu Zhenyun firmly believed that his "vision" had indeed been significantly improved!
Isn't it true that even things like "significant improvement in vision" have to vary depending on the situation, and are not a given?
If it is indeed possible to see the specific content of the "yellow talisman paper" clearly due to "improved eyesight", and the "improved eyesight" is closely related to the progress of the Daoxin chessboard, then it must be included in the plan to capture the Great Aries as soon as possible.
If there is one more person on the Daoxin chessboard, maybe next time I see the yellow talisman paper, I can see the specific content clearly...
Xu Zhenyun reasoned in his heart.
"What kind of trick is Xu Zhenyun thinking? No, Mr. Zhao said that he has a unique talent in the practice of 'Shi Gong'. Could it be that Ji Xiaohua's words just now have some subtle meaning that I didn't realize?"
The little golden man's voice of "asking to the sky" came from the Daoxin chessboard in time, interrupting Xu Zhenyun's thoughts.
"Brother Zhenyun, what are you thinking about? It's better to go back quickly and feel the principles of cultivation that the teacher just said."
Xu Zhenyun looked up and saw Xiang Tianwen's sincere smile.
Xu Zhenyun smiled and said: "Brother Tianwen's words make sense, let's go."
Mu Xueqing quietly watched the two talking, but did not leave early.
The three of them returned to Pingshui Residence together, and through the "Linzi Dust Array" in the room, each returned to their secular residence.
…
Seeing that he was in a familiar room, Xu Zhenyun did not take a detour, but jumped lightly, "rolled" on the bed to the opposite side, and came to the outside of the room.
Putting the matter of the "mysterious yellow talisman paper" aside for the time being, Xu Zhenyun considered Ji Xiaohua's advice just now.
The Xu family has a harmonious family and has experience in getting along with Buddhist monks. It is indeed a unique secular environment. However, Xu Zhenyun analyzed it carefully and found that there were still some flaws.
In the social environment of previous lives, several members of a family often lived in one room on the same floor. The family often chatted and watched TV in the living room, and the space was relatively close.
However, the Xu family is separated by small courtyards with independent families. Except for being together during dinner, the rest of the time is relatively "independent" and not completely "connected."
The closest relationship is with my sister... Should I move over and live in the same room with my sister? Or should I let my sister move here?
no. This idea just passed by in a flash, and Xu Zhenyun immediately rejected it.
They are all adults, and even if the family can agree, there is no telling what kind of rumors will happen once word spreads...
Let’s first consider the issue of “finding something” to do.
Xu Zhenyun walked out of his room, locked the door and quickly walked out of the courtyard, planning to find his third uncle to see if Linfang was hiring temporary workers.
With a creak, the courtyard door opened, and what greeted Xu Zhenyun was Xu Qingshuang's surprised smile.
Wearing an underskirt with lotus flowers embroidered on the chest and abdomen, her long hair is half tied and half of it is loose and not completely arranged. It is obviously a home style.
Xu Zhenyun said in surprise: "Sister, are you waiting for me?"
Xu Qingshuang smiled and shook her head: "No! I just suddenly felt in my heart that you were at home and wanted to go into the yard to have a look? I didn't expect that my feeling was really accurate. You are really here."
Xu Zhenyun nodded and said, "Is third uncle at home?"
Xu Qingshuang didn't move out of the way. She half-leaned against the door with a lazy attitude and said, "What's the matter?"
Xu Zhenyun said: "Well, in addition to practicing, I will be free at home for two days out of every seven days. I want to find something to do and feel the fireworks of the world. I wonder if Third Uncle and his Linfang are still recruiting people?"
Xu Qingshuang immediately stood up straight, his eyes were shining, and he said happily: "Why go to Linfang? Don't I have something ready to do here? After the expansion of 'Shiweitian', we are currently recruiting people. You can work part-time as a waiter. How about it?"
"Ah? Has it reopened? So soon?"
Xu Zhenyun looked shocked.
Xu Qingshuang smiled and said: "Of course not so fast. The transfer of the 'Wenxin Silk and Satin Store' has been negotiated; but it will take half a month to decorate the store quickly."
"That's it. After half a month, you will work as a waiter for me and come to my place for eight days every month. The wages are the same as everyone else."
As she was about to finish her words, Xu Qingshuang suddenly stretched out her hand and knocked a chestnut on the top of Xu Zhenyun's head.
Xu Zhenyun suddenly leaned back, covering his head and said dissatisfied: "Sister, why are you here again? For no reason... weren't you like this before?"
Although he was dissatisfied, Xu Zhenyun didn't feel any resistance in his heart. He just felt a little strange about Xu Qingshuang's changes.
Although Xu Qingshuang has always had a "brother-abusing devil" style, in the past, he always paid attention to his reputation as a teacher. Most likely, Xu Zhenyun and her were having trouble, or had a verbal conflict, so she took action.
The atmosphere was harmonious just now, and Xu Zhenyun was knocked on the head for no reason. This has never happened before!
Hearing Xu Zhenyun's question, Xu Qingshuang was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly became serious. He held his chin with both hands, as if he was thinking seriously.
After a while, Xu Qingshuang showed a rare embarrassed expression, and said close to Xu Zhenyun's ear: "I also discovered it...I guess it has something to do with you becoming a monk?"
"It feels good to ravage a cultivator... I can't help but want to tease you... I'm sorry..."
"If you have any objections, I will try my best to restrain myself...as much as possible..."
Xu Qingshuang squinted her eyes and covered her mouth while smiling, but not tightly, and her dimples could be vaguely seen.
"ah?"
Xu Zhenyun opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to get to know Xu Qingshuang again.
If a monk is born in someone else's family, and he is in the "semi-hidden" stage, the secular relatives will respect the monk's relatives with a kind of implicit respect.
Only when the ascetic himself clearly understands his original intention, washes away the flashiness, conscientiously abides by and truly realizes the word "as before", the relatives around him will gradually adapt, give positive feedback, and finally realize "as before" after a certain amount of running-in.
"And after I became a monk, my sister was not only useless, but she even wanted to ravage me... Is she enjoying the pleasure of riding on the head of a strong man? It's a bit perverted..."
"But, I don't seem to resist..."
Xu Zhenyun vaguely felt that Xu Qingshuang's unique attitude seemed to be very helpful to his "secular points" practice...
Xu Qingshuang suddenly asked: "Your first five-day holiday will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Zhenyun said: "Exactly."
Xu Qingshuang regained her serious expression: "I finally have time, let's go to Uncle Ran's house."
Xu Zhenyun nodded solemnly.
