(Preface: What does the two words "artistic conception" mean in Chinese? Many people often use traditional abstract nouns when learning vernacular Chinese, but do not seek to understand them very well. In fact, every word and word in Chinese have its origins. Ancient classical Chinese is a single word, so the word "artistic conception" is not a word. If you want to find its source, I am afraid it comes from a very "real" experience.)

*********************************************

"... So Luo was inspired by the inspiration, moving and wandering, divine light was separated and merged, and the yin and yang were suddenly bright. The body stood with a crane, as if it was about to fly but not yet flying... It floated like a god, with a slight step, and the silk stockings were dusty......"

This is the sound of Teacher Liu reciting ancient Chinese. The students were all very quiet, listening to her chanting Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of the Luo River". The elegant and profound artistic conception of the article was read out with Teacher Liu's light and soft voice, and coupled with her beautiful facial features and graceful figure, it suddenly seemed that the Goddess of the Luo River in the article was reproduced.

This is in Chinese class. Teacher Liu may have been influenced by her predecessor, Old Man Tang, in class. She often quotes other knowledge beyond the textbook when teaching. What's different from Old Man Tang is that she does not express emotions and comments randomly, but only recommends the words she thinks are beautiful to students. This textbook talks about Cao Cao's "Viewing the Canghai". Teacher Liu talks about the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties from Cao Cao, and then talks about the three sons of Jian'an from the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and finally recites Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River".

Teacher Liu told us that in order to truly appreciate the beauty of Chinese writing, some articles must be read, and some are best memorized, such as this "The Goddess of Luo River". These are tens of millions of times stronger than the sample essays sold to us by Teacher Sima Zhibei.

I decided immediately to memorize the "Fu of the Goddess of Luo River" when I went back tonight. Even if I didn't make the charm of Chinese characters, just for Teacher Liu, I would definitely do this.

...

That night, the Yin God was still traveling and came to the top bridge of the top scholar. Feng Junzi had already arrived early, and was sitting there shaking his head, muttering the words: "...the divine light is separated and merged, and the yin and yang are suddenly..." It turned out that he was also reciting the "Fu of the Goddess of Luo River".

I sighed from the side: "Why are there such a good article in our textbooks? I don't know what those who compile the textbooks think."

Feng Junzi nodded and said yes, and suddenly asked me again: "Shi Ye, do you know how Cao Zhi saw the God of Luo?"

"I memorized the "Fu of the Goddess of Luo River". This is a kind of artistic conception. He saw the Goddess of Luo River in the artistic conception. He could only understand it but not express it."

Feng Junzi glanced at me: "Have you carved it down? Good boy, faster than me!...I'll ask you, have you seen the light?"

I was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly asked about my alchemy practice again. I saw the light. I told him the original feeling of my cultivation. He did not praise me, but just nodded and said, "Well, you already understand the first meaning of 'God'... Don't be anxious, the skill of 'the sun does not set' is not urgent. Collecting medicine to make elixirs, first martial fire and then quit fire. You need to take it slowly and transform the essence and energy. You should practice slowly. Since your spiritual pill has just been completed, according to the rules, I should teach you a spell that you can use first, so I will teach you a 'round light mirror'."

Feng Junzi talked to me again. I found that he never told me these rules in advance, and every time he would appear one, just like he couldn't remember them even if he was less than he could. I was a little suspicious now. He didn't really want to tell me the rules of practitioners in advance, but he did not remember them himself. People's psychology is so strange. Feng Junzi doesn't like those rules very much and has to abide by those rules. I'm afraid that when he teaches me, he will forget them intentionally or unintentionally.

"What is a round light mirror?"

"Actually, you have seen this spell. Last time I used the Qingming Mirror to cast this spell, you have also gotten in the Fengyue Qingming Mirror... The magic weapon you used is always Qingming Mirror, so I remembered this. Strictly speaking, this is actually Buddhist kung fu, but it is suitable for you... When learning the round light mirror, you must pay attention to it. You cannot show Yin God in the mirror at will. Last time you showed Yin God in the mirror, which was my method. After you put in the spiritual guidance, you must pay attention to your own method. Don't go in and out.... You might as well stand outside and watch yourself."

The more Feng Junzi said, the more mysterious it became. It was difficult for me to understand it, but by chance, I did have the experience of "Feng and Moon Green Mirror", so I barely understood it. In fact, the magic of round light mirror has existed in ancient times and has been recorded in the notes of literati of all dynasties. The most vivid and mysterious one is the "Laoshan Taoist Priest" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The Taoist Priest of Laoshan cuts paper into the moon, and there are lights and shadows in the moon. Inviting the moon to the front of you, you can enter the mirror and let Chang'e wait for wine. This is of course a literary expression technique.

The round light mirror taught by Feng Junzi was not a real mirror, but a round light in front of me. This round light did not appear out of thin air, but must be based on the practice of Taoism. For me, the foundation of this Dharma is the Maoyou Zhoutian where "the sun does not set". Feng Junzi told me the mental method of the round light mirror (Prince Xu's note: I will briefly introduce it when I practice Shi Ye in real life), but I did not talk about the formula. He said that this is the state of "mirror flowers, water and moon, light and shadow" in Buddhism, and he himself did not know the formula.

The mirror is filled with flowers, water and moon, and don’t be lost in the door.

Although I don’t understand Buddhism, I have heard of this theory rather than right. When I heard the words “Mirror Flowers and Water Moon”, I wondered. When the immortals and monks mentioned Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, they all breathed their nostrils out, and looked disapproving. 11 out of ten people said that Mirror Flowers and Water Moon was empty, so don’t be addicted, etc. The extra one was the one who spoke next to me. I had doubts in my heart, so I asked Feng Junzi this question.

Feng Junzi smiled: "You don't know what a mirror is, water and moon, and why do you talk about seeing through the door of light and shadow? In fact, the various eye powers mentioned by Buddhism are mostly from this light and shadow. You have natural yin eyes, but I have no reason not to teach you the divine eyes. Based on your childhood experience, you can often predict the future. That is a kind of wisdom eye. I should teach you the round light mirror. If you use the round light mirror well, it is eye power!... But I don't have a mantra. When you use it, you may encounter some trouble. Be mentally prepared..."

When I encountered trouble when learning Taoism, I had been mentally prepared. I almost died after being bitten by a snake last time! Regarding the thirteen heavenly tribulations mentioned by Feng Junzi, I have experienced the lust and body disaster. The heavenly tribulations between the great medicine and the spiritual pill are called the "Demon Realm Tribulations". Could it be that Feng Junzi taught me that the round light mirror is related to this Demon Realm Tribulations? Anyway, I have already avoided the sixth level of heavenly tribulations in the following way. If it is a human tribulations, I can't avoid them, so I'll be more careful.

There is no mantra? I suddenly remembered that when Feng Junzi taught me that "the sun does not set", he took his own initiative to change the mantra and replaced my words with God. In this way, as long as the realm reaches its level, it will be a mantra! He can do this, why can't I? The mental method is the specific kung fu, and the mantra is the realm of confirming the cultivation. Today I learned "The Goddess of the Luo River" in class, which talks about Cao Zhi's meeting the Goddess of the Luo River. This is probably not just a coincidence!

I asked Feng Junzi: "I like the artistic conception of "The Goddess of Luo River", so I can use "The Goddess of Luo River" as a formula?"

Feng Junzi stared at me for a long time: "This - this - this - this - this is OK, but this mantra is too long! If you want to, just do it like this." (Note from Mr. Xu: Shi Ye, this kid, has begun to realize his own enlightenment.)

...

Practicing the round light mirror in the Maoyou Zhoutian is actually adding a little more. Whether it is the talisman of the fire, turning left and right, the god of the eyes will also rotate. When entering the fire, close your eyes, and open your eyes when retreating. Open your eyes but cannot see external objects, you can only rotate as you wish. Finally, when the vital energy in your body rises, put your eyes in the place that is not far or near in front of you. (Note to Mr. Xu, please look at it, don’t be too exaggerated.)

At this time, the light appeared and remained in the front of you. Yuantuota, the light was shining, and a bright moon was in front of you. When you reach this level of skill, there are two branches, one is the Dharma, to practice fetal breathing and nourishing pills; the other is the side technique, where the shadows are seen in the light are the round light mirror. The round light mirror is a Buddhist side technique, not a great way. Feng Junzi said it very clearly, but at the same time, he also said that small techniques also have the use of small techniques.

...

I saw this bright moon, but I didn’t see the light and shadow in the bright moon - there was no Chang'e to accompany me to drink. That day, after I finally formed a round light mirror at the You hour, I climbed up from under the Zhuangyuan Bridge, tidied up my clothes, and prepared to go back to school for evening self-study. From a distance, I saw someone coming from outside the school and walking towards the south gate of the school. I saw that the figure was a little flashing, and it was Zhou Song, a classmate in our class.

Of course I want to try the Tao that I have just learned. Although Feng Junzi said that the round light mirror cannot be used randomly, there should be no problem when I try it this time, right? After this, my body and mind are slightly moved, and a round light appears in front of me. Zhou Song is within my spiritual sense. Although I was mentally prepared, the scene in front of me was still shocked. The round light in front of me was like a mirror. Zhou Song in the mirror was sitting in a magnificent large room, sitting on a narrow and hard bed made of gold, wearing a tattered suit, holding a broken bowl that was missing, and eating with a pair of ivory chopsticks!

Why is it such a strange scene? I was shocked and retreated from the state of concentration. The round light in front of me disappeared, and Zhou Song also walked into the school gate. The sky eye can see the extreme distance and the extreme distance, and the wise eye can know the past and the future. But no matter how far or in sequence, Zhou Song cannot be like this! What's going on?

...

"Mr. Zhang, I saw a classmate in our class in the quiet light and shadow. I watched him wearing ragged clothes, holding a torn bowl, and eating in a golden house... What's going on?"

"Oh? There's this. I think you should learn psychology... Forget it, kidding, those who study Taoism should not learn that. What you see should be an artistic conception between reality and mind. As for what it means, I can't understand."

This is a conversation between me and Mr. Zhang at the Phoenix Bridge. I came to find Mr. Zhang and of course there are many things to ask. First of all, I have to thank him for helping me at Qiyunguan that day. If he had not appeared in time, even if Feng Junzi and Zhang Zhi could save Xiu Xiu, it would not be so easy for me to escape.

After hearing my thanks, Mr. Zhang smiled bitterly: "Little brother, you don't have to be polite to me. We are friends with age. Can I help Qi Yunguan if I don't help you? Besides, my daughter comes to beg me. She doesn't have much to ask me for so much. I always ask her to learn this and that... But I didn't expect that the girl actually set a fire... She is usually very well-behaved, why does this happen when she makes a fuss? It's so outrageous!"

I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Based on my impression of Zhang Zhi, this girl has nothing to do with the word "benevolent". I am not surprised that she dared to set fire in Qiyunguan. Perhaps parents in the world always have different opinions from others when they look at their children. Without talking about Zhang Zhi's or not, I told him that the Living Buddha of Guangjiao Temple wanted to see me, and finally asked him what he thought.

Mr. Zhang pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Shiye, Qi Yunguan has not come to cause trouble for you so far. I am afraid it is not as simple as giving me face. If it were just Taoist Master He Chen and those Taoist priests of Qi Yunguan, I would not be afraid. It is only half a pound of weight with my Zhang family, but with the whole Zhengyi family, it would be different."

In his words, Mr. Zhang saw that I already knew his origin and no longer concealed his origin. After Mr. Zhang said this, things became more complicated after I made a big fuss in Qi Yunguan, and it was no longer my own business. I asked again: "Why is no one looking for me so far? Is it because of the Living Buddha?"

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Well, this is one of the reasons, and there is another reason, because he is afraid of your classmate's style gentleman."

"Feng Junzi! You said Zhengyi Sect would be afraid of him? Even if he is very powerful, is he even more powerful than the entire Zhengyi Sect?"

I now know Mr. Zhang’s origin, and also know the origin of Xiu Xiu, and at the same time I roughly know the origin of Sister Ziying. However, Feng Junzi, who has the deepest relationship with me, has always been unfathomable. I still don’t know any details about him! Where did he learn Taoism? Who is his master? Mr. Zhang’s words aroused my curiosity. I can’t ask Feng Junzi himself about these questions, and I won’t tell you even after asking him. I’d better ask Mr. Zhang’s place.

Mr. Zhang shook his head: "It's not that Zhengyimen is afraid of him, how can he be afraid of a child with a dignified Zhengyimen? The key to the problem is that they don't know who did it! The only person who knows that Feng Junzi broke the formation is you, me, Zhang Zhi. Your little detail, Zeren waved his sleeves and shot it out. The main goal that Zhengyimen wants to deal with is obviously not you, but the hidden master in the secret!"

Mr. Zhang described Feng Junzi as "a master who is hidden and uncovered". He explained to me. It turned out that the "Zhoutian Demon Subduing Array" in Zhengyi Sect has two types: sword formation and talisman formation. The one who conquered Xiu Xiu was the sword formation, which could only be deployed by twenty-eight disciples with profound magic power. This so-called profound magic power is for ordinary people. For example, the idiots like the one in Ze can barely make up a number. The one who traps Xiu Xiu in the sight is the talisman formation, which is made of twenty-eight talisman tools that have been refined in advance.

The talisman formation is dead, and people are alive. It is not difficult to break this formation. Even an ordinary person who has not learned the Taoist Dharma can only spend enough time and mobilize enough manpower and material resources. For example, Mr. Zhang himself can break this Zhoutian Demon-Subduing Array. However, according to Mr. Zhang, if he himself breaks the formation with empty hands, it will take at least one day and one night!

Feng Junzi broke the formation with empty hands at that time, and Zhang Zhi was waiting outside. Feng Junzi went in and hugged Xiu Xiu out in a short while. It was almost a blink of an eye! Although the Taoist priests of Qi Yunguan didn't know the situation at that time, they could also analyze it afterwards. The people who broke the formation stolen in the chaos. It could not be too long, and there were not too many people. The most terrifying thing was that so many disciples in the temple were unaware of it at that time! After that, Qi Yunguan leaked the news that the Demon-Subduing Array had a miserable end. Not only was it broken, but even the twenty-eight talismans that had been hard-working to refine were taken away by people!

Who has such great supernatural powers? Even the Lord of Hechen himself may not be able to do it! In Wucheng for nearly a hundred years, among the masters known to people, those who have such cultivation can count with the fingers of one hand, and there are probably only three or five people. The first one is the leader of Zhengyi Sect, and the master of Hechen Sect, Shuzheng Zhenren, cannot make trouble in his own home, right? The second one is Fahai, the senior brother of Fayuan, the current abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple (Note: Damn, it is also called Fahai! It will not be "White Snake"

The one in "The Legend of Biography" is right?), this Zen Master Fahai is said to have been in seclusion for decades and has not entered the world, so it is impossible for him. Then the third one is Ge Jujizan, the old Living Buddha of Guangjiao Temple. If he wants to say that he ran to Qiyunguan to break the formation to steal auspicious beasts, he felt funny and no one would believe it! But at that time, his disciple Shang Yunfei was in Qiyunguan and stood up to speak for me. So some boring people secretly discussed it. Although they did not point directly at the Living Buddha in their words, they had the intention of guessing.

It seems that he is very capable and famous, and sometimes it is not entirely a good thing. If other masters do bad things, it is inevitable that someone will doubt him. The old living Buddha must have heard this kind of discussion, so both public and private have to stand up and make a gesture. He asked Shang Yunfei to say hello to me but left, which clearly means not wanting to see me in a short time. The purpose is to give the bystanders enough time to know about this and know that he wants to see me.

Mr. Zhang speculated that when the Living Buddha met me, he probably wouldn't meet alone in private, and other people in the world of cultivation would be present. These people probably have an intention, which is to let me tell you who is the master hidden behind me? Because in general, if such masters are involved, it is not a problem of one person and two people. It is very likely to be involved in a big sect, and the problem will be complicated. So whether it is the first sect or other practitioners who are secretly paying attention to me, they have not acted rashly for the time being. This is like a game of chess, and Feng Junzi who has not shown up is the most critical battle in the chess game.

I asked Mr. Zhang if I should go. Mr. Zhang said I should go, but I can't just go quietly, but I have to go openly. It's best to go and beat drums so that everyone knows that I'm selfless. As for where I got there, I would tell you about Qi Yunguan's experience in the whole story. Anyway, I saw a lot of things in Qi Yunguan, and some witnesses were witnesses. As for other things, such as Feng Junzi breaking the formation, setting fire on branches, and not saying a word, and I won't even say it to death! Anyway, they dare not beat me to death.

Mr. Zhang is worthy of being an old man. He straightened out the seemingly simple analysis of this seemingly simple matter in a few words, and said it clearly. This is much better than Feng Junzi, so I just asked him. But no matter whether his suggestions are correct or not, I still feel that I have a little selfish intention. He wants me not to say Feng Junzi's name no matter what, but it is actually equivalent to not being able to offer Zhang Zhi. Of course, even if he doesn't remind me like this, I will not say Feng Junzi and Zhang Zhi. Doing this will not do them, nor will it be good for me.

Finally, Mr. Zhang asked me: "Ishino, what is your classmate Feng Junzi's origin? What is his relationship with you? Do you know which sect he is from?"

I was so angry about this question that I wanted to ask Mr. Zhang about Feng Junzi's background, but he didn't expect that he would come to ask me. I replied, "My classmate, good friend, he is also a practitioner, and I don't know which school he or she does. Mr. Zhang, didn't you say you wanted to investigate him? Don't you know?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head and sighed, "For Zhang Zhi, I also want to check this person. I even weighed 700% pounds and 80% pounds of him. His parents found out that the first thing he had to feed him was Huanglian soup, but there was no news about this person in the world of cultivation. An ordinary middle school student is cleaner than a piece of white paper. In fact, it is wrong to investigate a cultivator in private. I also know the rules of "not asking"... Just like I have never asked where you came from.

Who is the school, who is the same as the teacher." (Note from Mr. Xu: There was an ancient custom, but not everyone knew it. That is what should be the first bite of a newborn baby in the world? People in the world say that Coptis chinensis is the most bitter, so some parents do not feed breast milk after the first mouthful of the baby, but Coptis chinensis. The purpose is to taste the bitterness when it is bitter, and then it feels sweeter after it is bitter. There is another saying that if the baby drinks Coptis chinensis soup for the first sip, the child will not have poisonous carbuncles and boils.)

Mr. Zhang said that he had never asked me about my origin. When he spoke, he looked at me, and the implication was that I hope I could tell him something. Regarding this question, I had to pretend to be confused and bow my head and refuse to answer. Seeing that I didn’t answer him, Mr. Zhang said, “I won’t ask you this question, but you must be mentally prepared. When you go to Guangjiao Temple, you can think carefully about what to say in front of everyone.”

...

"Yun Fei, I saw Zhou Song in the quiet light and shadow. I watched him wearing tattered clothes, holding a torn bowl, and eating in a golden house... What's going on?"

This is my monk Yunfei talking. The location is his dormitory. At that time, there was no one in his dormitory, so I told him that I would like to see his master. As for the time, he would notify me of the location, and I would definitely go. After saying this, I suddenly remembered the strangeness of Zhou Song in the round light mirror, and couldn't help asking. Feng Junzi said that this is Buddhist kung fu, and he didn't know the mantra. So it might be better to ask Yunfei, a fake monk.

Shang Yunfei looked a little dissatisfied when he heard my words, and said lightly: "The way to immortality is ultimately the mirror, flowers, water and moon. In this light and shadow, there are illusions and unrealities, so why should you be addicted to curiosity?"

He has made this trick again, and this time I came to him to teach him a lesson. But since I asked, I asked to the end: "Yun Fei, I heard that Buddhism has the most research on this, so you can explain it to me."

Shang Yunfei said to me, probably he felt a little curious. When he heard my questioning, he didn't say anything, but pulled out a piece of white paper from the wooden frame of the bedside tack, and tore it into a circle. He saw him put the round paper in front of him and let it go again - the paper did not land, but was fixed in the air!
