Chapter 11 Who can predict where the fog will come from?
The springs are ringing and the pine shadows are swaying. The scenery in the mountains is always the same, and it seems that the passage of time has become extremely slow.
The pace of the people in the mountains naturally becomes relaxed.
Not long after the sun rose, Xu Heng had already taken the elixir, moved out the armchair and sat down in the courtyard. Taking advantage of the sunshine, he flipped through "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter" and a newly copied Taoist scripture.
These days, studying "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter" has become an unforgettable lesson for Xu Henglei. In addition to fetching water from the spring every day, he only leaves the yard and goes to the library when he occasionally encounters difficulties. Find Taoist scriptures and annotations for reference.
The rest of the time was spent studying hard, and he never felt bored, and even enjoyed it a little.
If at the beginning, Xu Heng only studied Dharma and studied the Taoist scriptures for the sake of cultivation, now, he has become somewhat immersed in the mysteries of the Taoist scriptures.
For this reason, Xu Heng didn't even take care of the weeds in the courtyard. He only connected the spring in the rockery to clean the pool scenery, and cleared a path from the courtyard gate to the open space in front of the wing, so that he could see it at a glance. Go, the scene is barely no longer deserted, but it still has a different charm.
Ling Lingxiu walked into the courtyard, glanced around, and was slightly surprised. Then she walked into the courtyard with the faint smell of vegetation. Turning around the gurgling sound of the rockery spring, she saw Xu Heng sitting under the eaves of the wing, reading through the skylight. Taoist books.
After not seeing each other for a few days, he had changed into his original Taoist robes, but even wearing white clothes could not hide his elegant appearance. His body was relaxed when he was sitting, which actually gave people a natural and harmonious feeling.
Ling Lingxiu suddenly remembered that the Taoist book said that the inside is revealed from the outside, so a deficiency of qi will lead to depression, a weak spirit will lead to sluggishness, a deficiency of essence will lead to weakness, and a bad bone will lead to rickets... And those who are endowed with talent and have the Taoist bones of the immortal womb will naturally have a physical form and spirit. Perfect, people are like Guizhang. Sure enough, it makes sense.
"Senior sister, why are you here?" When Ling Lingxiu was lost in thought, Xu Heng had already noticed his arrival. He stood up from the chair, held the Taoist book and bowed, and asked, "But do you have any explanation?"
Ling Lingxiu did not respond. She glanced at the Taoist book in Xu Heng's hand and said, "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter, how did you find this book?"
"This is the recommendation of the senior brother on duty at the library." Xu Heng responded calmly and asked, "Is there something wrong with this article?"
"Is it him?" Ling Lingxiu was a little surprised in her heart, but she did not express it verbally, but said: "This "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter" can be said to be a major source of the foundation of Taoist Qi refining skills. Many advanced Qi refining techniques Techniques were originally derived from this chapter."
"Even if it is not used as a method of spiritual practice, this article is a Taoist classic that must be studied."
"There is such a thing." Xu Heng said in surprise. No wonder these days, when he was studying "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter", he found that some of the words in it, maybe only a few words, can directly point to the essence of people's feelings. .
Xu Heng asked: "This chapter has such an origin, and it can be copied and practiced at will?" Or even... if you fail to practice, take it down the mountain? Although you cannot share what you have learned privately, is this restriction too weak?
"You are wrong. Although the "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter" is precious, it is not unique to our sect." Ling Lingxiu said: "It is said that this chapter was preached to the world by the Immortal Saint in a long time ago, although I don't know whether it is true or not. , but many sects have collections and annotations, but it is true. "
"Not to mention the high-ranking sects, it is not difficult for even a casual cultivator with a little knowledge to get a look."
"I see..." The Taoist book in Xu Heng's hand was annotated by an expert named 'Li Linquan'. It was not difficult to understand Ling Lingxiu's words.
"Of course, given your situation, "Xuanmen Chonghe Chapter" is indeed the best choice." Ling Lingxiu said: "Originally, I was going to recommend you to choose this chapter."
Xu Heng nodded and said: "It's a pity that my injury has not recovered yet. It is said in the Taoist scriptures that Qi is the root. I am injured. If I act rashly, I am afraid that it will make things worse, but it is not appropriate to start practicing Qi rashly." Ling Lingxiu was stunned when she heard this. I was stunned for a moment, and what Xu Heng said was not a profound truth. It could even be said to be very simple, but it was something that many practitioners who did not have the true teachings would never be able to say.
Because this has nothing to do with the profundity and simplicity of the truth itself, but the difference between 'cultivation' and 'cultivation'. It has got rid of the state of knowing it but not knowing why.
"Senior sister?" Xu Heng saw that she was suddenly in a trance, and couldn't help but call out. Ling Lingxiu came back to her senses, but for some reason, she blurted out: "If you want to start refining Qi, it's okay, I can protect you. "
Xu Heng felt happy and said unconsciously: "Sister, are you serious about what you said?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Heng felt a little annoyed. After all, he was not an ordinary young man. He knew that his relationship with Ling Lingxiu was not that serious. Regardless of whether the other party was sincere or not, it was a bit rash for him to agree.
Ling Lingxiu was a little surprised by her words, but she didn't feel any regret. When Xu Hengzhi asked, she nodded slightly and said, "Of course I take it seriously."
Xu Heng couldn't help but be surprised, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Senior sister, you haven't told me why you came suddenly today?"
Ling Lingxiu said: "I came here to see how your injury is. I have been strictly instructed to take pills and nurse you back to health."
Xu Heng asked again: "Is this the order of Elder Feiyun?"
Ling Lingxiu was startled again and paused for a moment before saying, "It's not Master's order."
Xu Heng became more and more surprised. When Ling Lingxiu saw his expression, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she subconsciously said: "I'm sorry that I've caused you to suffer unreasonable disasters, that's all."
"An unreasonable disaster?" Xu Heng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he suddenly realized something and asked, "Why did senior sister say this?"
"..." Ling Lingxiu had been praised for her calmness since she was a child, but now she just felt at a loss and wanted to avoid the problem, but seeing Xu Heng's eyes as bright as a torch, she could not avoid it.
After a long silence, she finally said: "That day, when you were brought back to the mountain by Senior Brother Chen..."
Ling Lingxiu narrated from a perspective that Xu Heng had never known before. Only then did he realize that there were so many twists and turns after he was taken back to the Xuanwei Sect for interrogation.
If Ling Lingxiu hadn't spoken out for justice, she might have been imprisoned in Shuofeng Valley. Xu Heng didn't know what realm it was, but as a prison for the Xuanwei Sect to imprison evil, could it still be a good place? Even if Xu Heng hadn't been deprived of his cultivation, this was definitely not something he could bear.
But Ling Lingxiu said: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been destroyed by Senior Brother Chen. When Master returns, he will naturally protect your life."
Xu Heng looked at Ling Lingxiu seriously. When she said this, she still had no expression on her face, but Xu Heng could really feel that this was what she said from the bottom of her heart.
"Senior sister." Xu Heng said: "Things that have not happened are like fog in the mountains. Who can predict where it will go?"
