Chapter 60 Going down the mountain
Just when Jiang You returned to the villa, a Land Rover was speeding on the highway on the outskirts of Hanshui City.
The car drove all the way to a five-star hotel, and two people got out of the car, a man and a woman.
The woman has a high ponytail and a dark jacket. She is gorgeous and heroic. The man has his hair in a bun and is wearing a washed white robe. His facial features are smooth and he has a peaceful aura that is incompatible with the city. .
This man and woman were Li Fangya and Lin Qingdu who had already come down the mountain.
"Little Taoist Master, I have already reserved a hotel room for you. Are you sure you don't want to join our unit? If you want to practice your mind in the world of mortals, you can do it in the unit."
"Sister Xiaoya, no need. I haven't lived under the mountain for a long time. This time I still want to go around by myself first."
Li Fangya smiled and said, "That's good. Anyway, our investigation bureau welcomes you to join us at any time. If you encounter anything in Hanshui City, please call me at any time. You have my mobile phone number."
The two waved goodbye. Li Fangya got in the car. The car roared and disappeared into the night. Lin Qingdu stood there for a while, patted his face and said, "Meditate! Meditate!"
Then he walked to the front desk of the hotel. Although Lin Qingdu was dressed in a particularly out-of-the-way outfit, the hotel receptionist still checked him in quickly because of her strong professionalism and did not act strange.
Li Fangya drove towards her villa, humming a song, and seemed to be in a good mood. She practiced hard at Songfeng Temple for many days, and finally asked Lin Qingdu about the question of inaction and tranquility in the sequence ceremony.
Lin Qingdu attached great importance to it, and read through the Taoist canon all night, and finally gave her a total of thirteen explanations. At that time, Li Fangya's feeling collapsed, so she had to pick a few unreliable explanations among them and try to practice and comprehend.
As I live in the mountains for a long time, I am separated from the hustle and bustle of urban life. There is no noise interference such as wheels, engines, and horns. What I hear is not the sound of chanting, wind, rain, insects, birds, sunrise and sunset. , Yun Juan Yun Shu, her heart gradually calmed down.
On a moonlit night, she fell asleep listening to the sound of pine waves. When she woke up, she found that she had completed the first sequence of rituals. Interestingly, even Li Fangya didn't know that in the Taoist canon, In the end, which explanation of inaction and tranquility helped me.
Once the most difficult ritual is completed, the second ritual is much faster. Stealing the essence of Yin and Yang and turning it into fire, refining the form and returning it to Yiqi. Every day when the sun rises and the moon reaches its zenith in the evening, Li Fangya goes to sit cross-legged on a large blue rock outside Songfeng Temple, and uses the Taoist introductory guidance technique taught by Lin Qingdu to breathe out. It only takes four or five days. , she felt two streams of air, one hot and one cold, flow along her kidneys and merge into her lower abdomen. Under the combination of water and fire, a ball of white energy suddenly burned out, and it settled warmly in her lower abdomen.
At this point, he has been successfully promoted to Sequence Eight.
It's a coincidence that not long after Li Fangya's breakthrough, Lin Qingdu also successfully reached the realm of foundation building. According to his master's arrangement, at this stage, he needed to go down the mountain in the rolling mortal world to refine his Taoist heart. The two happened to be together. Let’s go down the mountain together.
Lin Qingdu came to the room and stood beside the bed. The hotel was on a very high floor, looking at the sea of neon lights flashing under his feet. He had not been down the mountain for a long time and had only been in the city for a while. He had already discovered that there were many things he didn't understand. What a novel thing. He made a joke in the elevator before. He didn't know how to swipe the room card before pressing the elevator button. He stood alone in the elevator and kept pressing the buttons, thinking that the elevator was empty. It was broken, and I thought: "This is such a good hotel, it shouldn't be!"
It was the front desk lady who saw his predicament and came to help him, and he went upstairs smoothly. His feet, which have always liked walking on mountain roads, stepped on the luxurious and soft carpet for the first time. It was like walking on the clouds, making him unable to even walk. After he was able to leave, the front desk lady who sent him to the room secretly pursed her lips, which was instantly caught by his senses that had become sharper after building a foundation.
Just like that, his face turned as red as an apple.
He was standing by the window at the moment, thinking in his heart: "Master is indeed a master. When I went up the mountain, I thought I had reached a state of mind where I could neither be happy with things nor feel sad about myself, and my heart was as calm as still water. Who would have thought that in the past few days, I had thought that my progress was indestructible? My Taoist heart has been reduced to an unbearable state. It seems that this time's practice is very important!"
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. In fact, the reason why he rejected Li Fangya just now was because he had another small thought. He spent time with Li Fangya day and night in the past few days. He felt that every time he faced Li Fangya, his heart beat faster. It always speeds up, making it difficult for me to enter samadhi during several meditation practices. This time I go down the mountain to practice, it is better to stay away from Li Fanya!
He sorted out his thoughts. First, he needed to settle down in the city, and then walk around, see more people, and experience more things, so that he could use them as material for his own practice. As for money? He carried with him all the cash that his master had left in Songfengguan before going down the mountain, which amounted to three thousand yuan. If he were on the mountain, it would be enough for him to live on for a year. This is the most cash he has ever had in his life, which is enough for him. Spent a lot of money in the city.
Lin Qingdu's illusion was soon pierced by reality. When he couldn't find a place to stay the next day and planned to stay in a hotel for another day, he learned at the front desk that the house he stayed in cost one thousand a night. Five, it really shocked him. He never expected that just sleeping in the city would cost so much money!
He didn't know this at this time, and with unrealistic illusions, he sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced meditation.
Li Fangya drove to the villa area. When she passed Jiang You's house, she saw the lights on inside. She got out of the car and knocked on the door. It was already twelve o'clock in the night, and Jiang You had just finished taking a shower. Wearing a bathrobe and wiping her hair, she walked over to open the door.
As soon as Jiang You opened the door, he saw Li Fangya standing at the door pretty.
"Ah? It's Sister Xiaoya, are you back?"
"What, you don't welcome neighbors to visit?"
"How could that happen? Please come in!" Jiang You worriedly invited Li Fangya into the house.
When Li Fangya saw the broken coffee table in the room, the fallen and broken TV, and the floor covered with glass shards, she couldn't help but have a dark look on her face.
"They say single men's rooms are messy, but I never thought you could be so messy!"
Jiang You smiled brightly and scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking to himself, "Then you have never met Lin Jingting, and his dormitory is so miserable!" But he said: "I was just practicing, and I accidentally did it! That, I'll take care of it. Pay compensation!”
Li Fangya rolled her eyes at Jiang You, "Virtue!"
"I just came back today, and I'm in a good mood. I want to meet an acquaintance for a drink. Are you free?"
"Of course, it just so happens that I'm very happy too!"
"Are you happy that I'm back?"
"Haha, they are all there, they are all there! It seems like I didn't buy any wine."
"I remember there is a bottle here." Li Fanya walked to a cabinet and found a bottle of red wine from the cabinet above. Jiang You moved in and practiced martial arts whenever he had time. He was not as familiar with the house as Li Fanya.
"The room is too messy, why don't you drink in the courtyard?"
"Okay! I'm going to change clothes."
"It's late at night, why are you doing so much trouble? No one is looking at you."
Li Fangya waved his hand proudly, Jiang You didn't hesitate when he saw this, and the two of them came to the small courtyard together.
