Taoist chanting

After a while, Zhang Wenfeng was surprised to see a faint silver circle around the edge of the disk, which was slightly whiter.

It is the thunder and lightning attribute, he did not expect the donkey to have the extremely rare thunder line.

"Okay, take your hooves off, your physique is Thunder Xing, a rare attribute."

Donkey was ignorant and asked, "Isn't it good? I heard what the old lame used to say before.

Zhang Wenfeng put away the test disk, patted the head of the donkey who was accidentally abused by the old cripple, and said: "Very good, very domineering attributes, but one thing, our Taoist temple only has five elements and exercises, and there is no thunder." Techniques and spells."

He didn't expect to use the test plate to really test the monster's attribute of the donkey.

"No, what should I do... Don't worry about the exercises. I feel that I can listen to the scriptures in my own way and practice according to my instincts. There is no thunder magic... but it is troublesome. No wonder you taught my Aoki Zanji spell, I can't practice it, the attribute of the spell is wrong."

The donkey was spinning around on the rock, it really wanted to practice magic.

Zhang Wenfeng was a little ashamed, and the donkey's last sentence made him feel that sometimes, he was not even as good as a donkey.

But he was very relieved and said through the voice transmission: "Yes, you have listened to my teachings in the morning. When you encounter problems, be calm and don't get angry. You can always find a solution to the problem. I will go to the city tomorrow and help you in Daolu In the library of the branch, I looked through Lei Xing's basic spells, copied them and brought them out."

"Ah uh... that's great, Guanzhu, you are my reborn parents."

"Stop, stop! Okay, don't learn, just learn some dirty words from Uncle Lame's rivers and lakes stories. I can't give birth to a donkey son like you... You have to practice behind your back when you get magic, you know? Don't forget it. Show off."

Zhang Wenfeng was numb to death, and slapped the donkey who was beating the metaphor, and instructed.

"I know, I understand, the law should not be revealed indiscriminately, and the wealth should not be revealed. I understand the principles of the world. If you secretly learn the thunder spell, others will not be on guard. Ahh... It's fun to think about it. There is a clack, and the thunder hits the thief. On the head, it's so enjoyable!"

The more excited the donkey was, he jumped into the woods and muttered to himself.

Occasionally, there will be a terrifying donkey bark, chatting to express its extremely surging overflowing mood.

Zhang Wenfeng poured two gourds of diluted spiritual spring water, and regardless of the crazy donkey, he returned to the West Hall on the top of the mountain, and made a fire to make water for tea.

There is hope in such days. Every day you practice, recite sutras, and read books, and your cultivation is on the road of progress every day.

After the evening class, he returned to the secret room under the bolt door of the West Hall, found the book "A Brief Introduction to Medicinal Pills", carefully read the pharmacological overview of the previous part, and then turned to the part of refining "Qingqi Powder", and slowly read and understood it word by word. .

After about an hour, he exited the secret room and returned to the quiet room to meditate and practice.

After finishing homework and breakfast on the second day, the donkey kept spinning, and the sound transmission urged the temple master to leave for the city quickly.

Zhang Wenfeng sat in the west hall, drinking tea and chatting with the second senior brother and Yue Anyan. He heard that the second senior brother and Yue Anyan, who returned at noon yesterday, said that there were several waves of people going up the mountain to seek medical treatment. They received them in the dining hall and prescribed prescriptions for the treatment .

He pondered for a moment, and said: "Today, if someone goes to the mountain to see a doctor and ask for amulets, the fee for medical consultation will be increased to 33 Wen, or 330 San Wen, and they can't just give San Wen arbitrarily."

The Gu family did bad things with good intentions, helped them publicize their reputation, and brought in the elderly, weak and sick to take care of their business.

The Taoist practice of helping people to see a doctor, exorcising ghosts, etc., is actually a matter of convenience, accumulating merits and virtues, and building the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, in order to keep it clean and undisturbed.

The real Taoist temple has few isolated people, which is the reason.

The second senior brother is a little puzzled, isn't the incense money all given according to the wishes of the good faith layman?

Yue Anyan glanced at the temple master, she didn't say much, she roughly understood what was going on, people were greedy, and found that there was something to be gained here, gradually the mountain would not be clean and peaceful.

Zhang Wenfeng explained: "Our Taoist temple can't rob the jobs of several medical shops in the two nearby towns for the sake of a little fame, and even disrupt the business of performing rituals and drawing talismans with the senior brother and the third senior brother, and even disturb Qingning on the mountain. , contrary to the teachings of the master."

Hearing the master's last instruction, the two put down their teacups and announced a sing-along:

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

The matter was settled in this way, Zhang Wenfeng found a smile in the senior sister's eyes, and seemed to have seen his true intentions, so he arranged: "Senior sister will take care of you a little more in the past few days, and receive visiting neighbors on the mountain, and handle it properly. Don't make complaints and affect the reputation of the Taoist temple."

This kind of difficult and skillful work is just right for a senior sister who seems to be mild-tempered but has her own opinions.

Yue Anyan has seen the big world in his travels, and has dealt with the three religions and nine streams a lot. He has killed many thieves with a sword around his waist.

Compared with the past, the younger brother has changed a lot. At a young age, he is good at penetrating people's hearts and understanding the world.

That’s fine, as the Master’s idea is upright, and Taoism will not suffer any loss.

He also talked about a few daily things, finished a pot of boiling water, and went to their own business.

Seeing that the watcher finally went out, the donkey was in a hurry to rub his head: "The sun is already high, watcher, can you be more impatient?"

Zhang Wenfeng touched the top door of the donkey, and said through a sound transmission: "Anyone who achieves a major event must have a calm spirit! Today, I specially tested you, you are too concerned about impatience, and your temperament is uncertain, which makes me a little disappointed, so I won't go this morning. In the city, you should go down the mountain and have a quiet moment."

The donkey eagerly watched the spectator walk into the hall, and what the spectator said...it seemed reasonable!

After a while, the donkey made up his mind and went down the mountain.

Tests are everywhere, and it has to be an independent and accomplished donkey.

At four o'clock at four o'clock, the officials dispatched by the county government's household Fang Huangzhang case, together with Xiang Qi, Li Zheng, You Xi and a group of people, came to the foot of the mountain. Zhang Wenfeng received the notification from the second senior brother, and went down the mountain with the second senior brother to greet everyone. Be polite and show the title deed for inspection.

It took more than an hour to complete the inspection of the land, register and press fingerprints, and complete the final step.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't invite everyone to go up the mountain. These people are old, fat, and fat. It is really embarrassing for them to climb to the top of the mountain. They used a red paper package of two hundred Wenjijin to send the little officials who traveled all the way. Both parties were happy. Xing, and peaceful farewell.

The little official was invited by the village elders and Lizheng to get on the carriage and go to the town to have a meal and talk about it.

The donkey followed the whole process, observing and learning from the viewer's way of life.

It suddenly felt that the reason the Lord taught it in the morning seemed, seemed a little untenable.

The temple master is obviously busy with business and has no time to go to the city in the morning, so how can he tell those people "I'm waiting for you on a special trip"?

It cannot be deceived by its pure desire for the Tao.

(I wish you all peace, joy and happiness in the new year, and a pure blessing comes from you!)

Chapter 57 You and I are the same

"That's a polite word. When dealing with people, you have to be polite and polite. You can't be like the hero in the story of the lame uncle. You're late, I'm just wasting my time, and I'm a freshman. Fist', do you speak like that?"

After lunch, one person and one donkey walked on the official road where few people walked.

The autumn sun is just right.

Zhang Wenfeng was wearing a bamboo hat. Facing the question raised by the donkey under him, he lightly resolved it with the words of the lame uncle.

The donkey grinned and grinned happily "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

The image of the old cripple who was bold and heavy, careless and reckless in his heart gradually faded away.

"But... you do have business this morning, can't you lie to me?"

After the donkey laughed, he was still obsessed with the details and continued to ask questions.

Zhang Wenfeng sighed, and said: "It's such a trivial matter to test the boundary, it can still be handled by the second senior brother, and I don't need a 'big man' like me to come and accompany me in person? I'll give you a chance to test you and point out your deficiencies. You must know how to be grateful and accept opinions with an open mind. It seems that you will be tested at any time in the future, lest you go astray."

Donkey is right.

The city official who handles the matter, one by one "adult" respectfully calls Guanzhu.

It's the donkey's head that got into the horns, and it made a mistake, and quickly apologized: "I misunderstood the good intentions of the temple master, so I won't dare next time."

This guy is getting harder and harder to fool, and it's not easy being a demon donkey mentor.

Next time, you have to be more rigorous, and you can't make such low-level flaws.

Zhang Wenfeng said earnestly: "When you have doubts, you must dare to raise them for debate. The more you argue, the clearer the truth will become. You and I are all in the same way. In the future, we will support each other and walk together. There is no natural distinction between upper and lower. , I'll take care of you less."

The donkey was so motivated by the word "comrade" that he couldn't help himself, and his four hooves ran fast.

It is respected.

Rumbling in the mouth, piles of little truths it hears, and debate with the audience.

Guanzhu drank a gourd of spiritual spring water on the way this time. This guy is so talkative, it made him suspect that he was riding a broken-mouthed donkey lady?

When he arrived at Daolu Branch, Zhang Wenfeng went to the main hall of Wuyuan to meet him as usual, stood and chatted a few words, then resigned and said he went to the library to read. He could see that Wuyuan was very busy, and there were seven files piled up on the desk. Eight books, being an official is not free.

It's better to live comfortably like him, with less spiritual energy stones, just find a way to earn it yourself.

I asked the Taoist priest in charge of the library, and I got the answer that the monks in the Huaqijing realm were allowed to transcribe the books in the room, but please keep them properly and don’t leak them out to the wicked, so as not to damage the yin and virtue.

That was very polite, so he went out again to fetch pen, ink and paper from the shack assigned to him.

He is good at drawing, and the spell catalogues he copied are not bad at all.

It took half an hour, and the only two basic thunder techniques here, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Falling Technique" and "Nine Heavens Hundred Tribulations Leaving Thunder Technique" were all collected, and for another half an hour, I read the ancient books on the experience of refining medicine, and did After recording a few pieces of paper, I set off back to the mountain.

This time, the donkey carried four extra bags of silver bone charcoal for refining medicine, which was quite expensive.

Fortunately, I robbed the seven bank notes that were delivered to the thief last time, otherwise I really couldn't afford to spend them.

The donkey had a lesson in the morning and learned to be good.

Talking about gourds in the east and gourds in the west, talking about patience with the viewer.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't test the donkey for a long time this time. He really couldn't stand the endless noise of this stuff. The new water in the gourd was not enough to drink, so he told the donkey the Leifa, whose full name is "Nine Heavens Mystery Falling Thunder", word by word. Listen, recite the general formula first, and then read and cultivate the fine method.

"As high as the sky, you go to millions of places. In the realm of the sky, the blue sky is your disciple. I don't know the blue sky, but the earth lives. Besides, this real land has nothing to do and no form. Nothing can be done, the gate of all transformations. Accumulated clouds form the sky, and strong energy Holding it. Covering it like cotton, ten thousand jun can support..."

The ears finally became quiet.

After three times, the donkey completely shut up, and he didn't explain anything.

He didn't understand Leifa, so he didn't speculate and give pointers, and let the donkey figure it out for himself.

He did not show it to the donkey for the time being, because he practiced Leifa's stepping fight, that is, the body method. He secretly thought that donkeys have four legs, how can they walk on two feet like a human?

Thinking about how funny that scene would be, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Forget it, let the donkey learn how to walk after he goes back, lest this guy accidentally carry him into the ditch.

After thinking about the common sense of refining medicine all the way, back to the top of the mountain, it was getting dark, and they were waiting for him to come back and have dinner together.

The four of them sat around a table. Except for the old cripple who poured himself a drink and chatted a few words, the other three followed the rules and kept silent. They only responded occasionally. The atmosphere was harmonious and not embarrassing.

The old lame man had long been accustomed to the virtues of these cow noses, and muttered a few words: "It's a strange thing, the donkey ran to the city, and when he came back, he didn't even enter the cafeteria, he didn't drink alcohol, and he didn't call me to say hello? "

"Did you fill your stomach with wild food, or do you miss the mother donkey?"

"No, I have to take a look at it later. Could it be that I got sick from eating bad food?"

After the meal, Zhang Wenfeng went down the mountain to find the donkey circling in a daze in the woods at the water source of the Lingquan, took out a few pages, and let the donkey memorize the figure of stepping on the bucket that practiced the technique of falling lightning.

He stood on the big rock watching with interest the donkey's footwork.

The donkey can't even walk this time, hitting a tree with three or two steps, and nearly twisting his four hooves into a bow after walking a few more steps.

It was so horrible that Zhang Wenfeng couldn't bear to see a donkey who was so diligent that he forgot to sleep and eat. He had to torture himself to practice human spells. He shook his head slightly, collected the paper and went back to the mountain.

He can only guide the donkey ideologically and encourage the donkey spiritually.

As far as Lei Fa is concerned, he is really powerless, interlaced like a mountain.

While drinking tea and chatting in the West Hall, the second senior brother said that he had already communicated with the village leaders in several neighboring villages. All villages very much welcome Xianlingguan to assess and recruit the seedlings of learning Taoism, especially a few children who lost their parents when they were young. Dude, I really need Xianlingguan to pick it up. Of course, the second senior brother will not give in on the principle issue.

Tomorrow morning, the second senior brother will harvest mature soybeans (soybeans), and when he has free time, he will cut down trees and stakes, and build a fence from the edge of the newly purchased west hill to form a fence and circle the site to prevent people from outside Entered by mistake.

Zhang Wenfeng said that he will harvest the beans together tomorrow morning, and he can't let the second senior brother be too busy alone.

Yue Anyan will not stand idly by. Tomorrow, she will finish her farm work early, and then she will receive people from neighboring villages who went up the mountain to seek medical treatment. There are quite a few people going up the mountain today. They all said that it should be so, and then they all made excuses to come back next time and turned back.

After talking about these short things among the parents, the three of them finished drinking their tea and got up to go to the evening class.

On the morning of the tenth day, the sun came out and the dew was collected in the fields.

The three Taoist priests rolled up their sleeves, rolled up their trousers, wore the straw sandals worn by old lame men in their spare time, and went to the field with bamboo hats to harvest a few fragments of beans. When more than half of the harvest was to be harvested, the priest yelled to wake up the donkey who was immersed in cultivation. , Let it carry bundles of beans back to the top of the mountain in batches. This kind of work of climbing back and forth makes the cattle work very slowly.

The old lame man unloaded the bean bundle from the back of the donkey and spread it out on the wheat field in front of the kitchen to expose himself to the sun. Seeing that the donkey had regained his spirituality, he felt relieved and ridiculed in a loud voice that he wanted to find a female donkey for the donkey.

The lame man is a mouth-watering gun. If he just talks but doesn't do it, donkeys don't even bother to pay attention.

Four people and one donkey worked for half a morning. After harvesting the beans, they only had to wait for a few days to dry before they could be pounded out with wooden sticks.

At night, the bean stalks have to be piled up and covered with straw to prevent the dew from getting wet at night.

After finishing the work, it was not yet noon, Zhang Wenfeng rinsed and refreshed, changed into a set of clean old clothes, brought a package of medicinal herbs and a small bag of silver bone charcoal, and opened the door of the East Hall.

If he doesn't go to the city today and tomorrow, he will try to refine medicine.

Chapter 58 Open the furnace to refine medicine and boil Shengdan

The entrance to the east hall is the hall, and the inner room is the master's bedroom, as well as a study and a pharmacy.

Zhang Wenfeng opened the pharmacy on the right, and there was a slight scent of traditional Chinese medicine. Even if the master passed away, the room was often cleaned and wiped, so it was very clean and there was no musty smell. He wiped the medicine roller again with a towel, and cleaned the brass stove where the medicine was baked.

The silver bone charcoal was ignited to bake two medicinal materials.

Take your time and grind all the herbs in the packet into finely divided pieces.
