Chapter 41: The Road is Difficult
Qingping'er's mind is very simple, sometimes she is childish like a child who doesn't know the world.
The master and senior brothers and sisters were about to leave her but far southwest, which made her very sad for a while. Every day, she would run to the turtle pond to talk to several small turtles and old turtles. In the end, the turtles seemed to be afraid of her. When they saw her coming, they sank into the water and refused to stand out. But now she is no longer sad because the master said that with Senior Brother Xu and the others, Xiangyun Temple will still be the Xiangyun Temple, and the master will often come back to visit her in the future...
This is obviously a word of comfort from Taoist Yizhen, but Qingping'er just believes it.
The little girl has always been like this. As long as she trusts and likes someone, she will never doubt anything she says. In her eyes, the whole world is sunny, the humorous and wise Lao Xu, the handsome and slutty brother Hei San, the chubby guy who likes to make her laugh every day, and the fake old Taoist Jia Kui who likes to run to the Zhenwu Hall to set up a table to draw talismans... Each one is full of advantages and is the cutest person.
Now Qing Ping'er's room is covered with various talismans from Jia Kui. He also solemnly told Qing Ping'er that the talismans he drew were the most effective, and each one was extremely precious.
Qing Ping'er nodded seriously and regarded these talismans as her most precious treasures. This moved Jia Kui so much that she almost burst into tears. Since she became a disciple of Zhengyi Sect, the talismans he drew were so cherished. This made him feel full of strength and determined to spend his whole life studying this Taoist traits, sooner or later, becoming a talisman master of the Chinese Taoist Sect.
Qingping'er is such a cute girl, like a string of pearls, uniting the old man and the new man from Xiangyun Temple closely next to someone, and this person is Xu Changsheng.
Now even the Firework Taoist in the temple knows that Qing Ping'er and the old temple master's disciple "Lao Xu" are most acquainted with Xu Changsheng. Every day, they follow Xu Changsheng like a little tail, reading Taoist books with him and meditating and practicing together. Xu Changsheng also seems to have a different look at this little Taoist girl. He has to take her with him every day to do Taoist homework. Even the "Xu family's direct descendants" such as Hei San'er and Shaoyang are not treated like this.
Shou Yang once asked Xu Changsheng: "Old Xu, do you have a special liking for the Taoist loli? You can't do this... If our master tells you seventy-two changes behind your back in the middle of the night, you can't just teach Qingping'er."
As a result, Xu Changsheng choked and died of death: "Nonsense, I don't look at Qingping'er's qualifications like the fairy-like pearl that can be compared with you like street vendors? Be good... Go and learn to draw talismans from the fake old Taoist. The talismans of Zhengyi School are authentic in Xuanmen. Just say that you have not received talismans through the divination and have never been recognized by the master. The Heavenly Palace is famous, and it is still no problem to fool a few stupid people after learning to do so. This is your skill, don't lose it..."
Shou Yang widened his eyes and asked him: "Now my buddy has someone with an 'id card', can he still do this?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, and a sentence made him enlightened: "What are you afraid of when practicing Taoism for heaven? Xiangyun Temple needs money now. Look at what Qingping'er has become due to malnutrition? Now you have a reputation and a 'territorial', so don't let go of your hands and feet? The key is to master the skills, control the temperature, and don't be able to stop losing it. When you go back, you can get half of the money and do good deeds and accumulate good deeds. By the way, your senior brother, I am a hard life and cannot do such things, and you must practice hard. Don't count this kind of thing. Just do it with Heisaner..."
Skinny Yang smiled and said, "Hehe...Okay. Lao Xu, you are still so hypocritical, you can be a good person. But it doesn't matter. With your words, I have nothing to worry about. Now who in the Guanyin knows that you are the disciple of the old Guanyin master? What do you mean by the old Guanyin master? But have you ever thought about it? What should I do if the new Guanyin master comes?"
Xu Changsheng spread his hands: "If he loves anyone, it's best if he is a living god. If not, I guess he will have to have a meal."
"Haha, Lao Xu is still you're right, your words are rough and meticulous."
The alternation of the new and old viewers of Xiangyun Temple is not much different from the government's change of leadership. Now people are confused.
Since the long talk with Xu Changsheng Yunfang that day, Master Yizhen didn't know what thoughts it had touched, but now he is in seclusion every day; Xu Changsheng, a disciple of the robe and bowl, naturally has to take responsibility.
Fortunately, he often used old methods and had the loyal assistance of Shao Yang and a few days later, he established his prestige among these Taoist priests and nuns who were half familiar with the world. In fact, to put it bluntly, he solved the problem of food first. Since Xu Changsheng went up the mountain, the food in the temple has improved significantly. Not only does it contain meat, but sometimes it also provides wine. It is so beautiful that all the Taoist priests think they are immortals in the wine, and the emperor doesn't even get on the boat.
Part of the money required was obtained by Xu Changsheng from the bonus of good citizens. It is necessary to completely gain a foothold in Xiangyun Temple and live up to the entrusted by Taoist Yizhen. The other part is from the "income-generating" of Shou Yang and Hei Saner...
In fact, Shou Yang and the others are not a lie. They just encounter some stupid rich people who are not comfortable with not spending money. They will use the "Xuanmen Psychology" to say a few words that suit the situation. The rich people are happy and Taoist temples have income. There is no problem with the best of both worlds? But it is just this simple way to generate income. The disciples trained by Taoist Master Yizhen have no idea about the fire. Who can blame for the incense that is not good?
"Old Xu, what are you talking about?"
Sitting side by side with Xu Changsheng on the "Xiangyun Peak" behind the scenes, Qingping'er suddenly saw a flower magpie stopping on the short pine opposite him, less than three feet away from him, and wanted to get up to grab it, but she was afraid that Xu Changsheng would say that she had big eyes turned, and while deliberately speaking, she diverted Xu Changsheng's sight, she secretly moved her little butt...
"Sit down honestly. I have taught you the method of conscious vision these days. How have you mastered it? I have no progress and thought about how to play. I have to work hard!"
Xu Changsheng is unreasonable. He can easily enter the Taoist state of "observing the inner scenery" by opening the Taoist orifice. Where can Qingpinger, a little Taoist nun, easily do it?
But he stubbornly believed that as the only surviving baby in the obstetrics and gynecology tragedy seventeen years ago, Qingping should be a genius of cultivation. She had delayed it before, but she was afraid that even her master might not have had the experience of observing the "interior scene", but she had practiced it herself and had some experience, but she was afraid that she would not be able to help her succeed?
"But... but Qingping'er really can't do it... When people close their eyes, they will hear many birds calling..."
"This is normal, so just follow the bird to think. I'm not telling you, the trick to view the inner scenery is 'If you think about it, you will think about changes after a long time, and then change and then be calm.' Qingping's intelligence should be easy to do."
"Brother Xu, am I stupid? It's really hard..."
Xu Changsheng was speechless. Qing Ping'er was the most familiar with him and was the most joking, so she just called him Lao Xu, and never called her brother. Why did "Brother Lao Xu" come out? Is this really driving her crazy?
"Okay, you can rest for a while. Just rest beside me. Watch my brother enter into meditation and practice. You are not allowed to catch the birds anymore."
"Yeah!" Qing Ping'er nodded vigorously, but her mind had already followed Hua Xique to run away.
"This girl..."
Xu Changsheng sighed in his heart, closed his eyes slightly, and soon entered the state of observing the inner scene.
The eight extraordinary meridians are still blurred, as if the heaven and earth are not yet divided, the thirty-six nodes of the twelve main meridians are still suspended, emitting light slightly.
What made Xu Changsheng very depressed was that these thirty-six nodes were clearly born after the refining of the lightning body, and should be beneficial or harmless to him. However, during this period, he searched through Taoist books and could not find a way to practice for these thirty-six nodes.
When he first opened the Taoist orifice, there was also the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering the body, which benefited him a lot. But I don’t know why during this period. Even if he deliberately opened the Taoist orifice, it would be difficult to see a trace of spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering the body again. The path of cultivation was cut off...
"I have never seen this situation before. I can't read Taoist books anymore. What should I do?"
