Chapter 5

Everyone chatted for a while, got up to leave one after another, Ducheng Jizhen and Xie Yantang stayed behind.Cheng Ji said, "Junior Brother Ye came back just in time."

Hearing what he said, Ye Guhong smiled wryly: "Brother Cheng, please speak frankly."

Cheng Ji sneered, only pretending that he didn't see Xie Yantang's awe-inspiring gaze: "There were disciples who started to learn before, but now it has been [-] years since they have been collecting woodcutters, and they can start teaching the exercises."

The root of practice lies in keeping quiet.But the heart of ordinary people is like a wild horse, thinking about all kinds of situations, and choosing and rejecting are impermanent.Therefore, when some disciples come to the entrance hall, they first strengthen their muscles, bones, minds and wills, wear simple clothes and poor food, and live in shabby houses with hardships, so that they can restrain their minds and minds, and then teach the way of enlightenment.After hearing this, Ye Guhong smiled and said, "How many disciples are there?"

"Ten years ago there were 490 three people, seven years ago there were more than one hundred and two people, five years ago there were 57 people, three years ago there were six people, and now only two people are left." Cheng Jizhen replied, "It's already Really good."

If you want to achieve the great way, you cannot achieve it without great perseverance.Those who entered the Taiqing sect to seek Tao, regardless of their origin, had to first collect firewood for several years. Some people could not bear the hardship and then retreated to the world.Now that the two left behind have great perseverance and strong roots, whether they can achieve the Dao depends on their respective opportunities in the future.

Seeing Ye Guhong answering to teach the two of them, Cheng Jizhen left immediately.The boy servant packed up the cups, pots, stove, etc. and retreated one by one, only two brothers and sisters were left in the forest, Xie Yantang said: "You are too easy to talk to."

Ye Guhong smiled: "It's not a big deal."

Xie Yantang snorted softly, pulled him to sit down on his lap again.Ye Guhong couldn't help being embarrassed, but he heard Xie Yantang say: "You have been traumatized and slept for another 27 years. Now it's time to practice, and he is bothering you with these trivial matters."

His tone was cold, but his caring fist made Ye Guhong raise his eyebrows and smile: "Senior brother just talks about me, so what about myself?"

Xie Yantang has only been reincarnated for more than 20 years. Even with the help of the spiritual pills cultivated in his previous life, he still hasn't fully recovered. According to his past temperament, he should not be able to retreat at this time.Among the joints, Ye Guhong knew it at a glance, and now seeing his senior brother caring, he couldn't help but tease him.

Xie Yantang didn't reply, and pulled his junior brother to lean on the couch together.At this time, the dusk was over, the sky was getting darker, the water vapor in the stream was dense, the moon moved to the top of his head, and the moonlight like silver foil fell on the ground. He opened his eyes slightly, only feeling the stars shining in his eyes, listening to the regular breathing of his junior brother, and feeling sleepy Gradually, I unconsciously went to sleep with the wind.

More than ten days after Ye Guhong came down to Cheng Jizhen, two people came up to the side peak.A man and a woman, with yellow hair and green girls.The elder's surname is Zhen and his name is Jia. He was originally a squire in Runzhou. He lost his parents when he was young, and lost his wife in middle age.One day when I was playing with my grandson, I suddenly saw Hua Hualang go away with the wind, and took root on the ground, and I suddenly felt enlightened, so I worshiped Taiqingzong in the year of my ears, and wished for the Tao.The young man, surnamed Du and named Yuqiong, was about 27, with black hair combed into a small bun, only a few velvet flowers inserted, and a blue waist skirt with wave patterns, which was extremely simple.

Ye Guhong led the two of them to a small pavilion on the west side of the mountain. Outside the pavilion was a cliff.Zhen Jia and Du Yuqiong have been collecting firewood in Dangshan Mountain for ten years, and have climbed countless dangerous peaks. Now they are on the rocks without any difference.Ye Guhong saw the calmness of the two people's aura, and also looked at the siblings, both calluses, he already had some approval in his heart.

He was not in a hurry to preach, but first asked about the events of the past ten years.Zhen Jia and Du Yuqiong had some battles with the immortal head at first, but then they gradually relaxed.

Zhen Jiadao, at the age of 60, he abandoned his family to seek immortality, and he was ridiculed many times along the way. Who knows that he is not allowed to teach immortality after he has started, but he is only given an axe to follow the crowd to collect firewood.Among the peers, there was a cowardly one who couldn't bear the hardship and begged to retreat and return home.After two years, there is still no celestial law descending, and those who are not determined will go again.After a few more years, Ji Ji gradually disappeared, and then went to count people, and in ten years, only he and Du Yuqiong remained.

At first, he also thought of retreating, but first he was afraid of rumors at home, and after several years of collecting firewood, he gradually became familiar with the mountains. Every plant and tree is like siblings, eating pine nuts and drinking clear springs. After a few years, he turned white and more Hei, tooth loss and rebirth, looking back at this time, I don't know when the heart of retreat has gone, I just feel that this place is very happy.

Ye Guhong listened with a smile, then looked at Du Yuqiong.She got up and bowed, saying that she came from a wealthy family, lived together in a family, and there were many sisters in the family, but no matter what kind of sisters, they obeyed their father and brother to marry others when they were old, and from then on, they were humble and obedient to their husbands, raised their children, and disciplined them. Concubine Ji, take care of slaves and maidservants, and later marry daughters-in-law and daughters, and play with grandchildren, "If a capable husband honors his wife, and mother is honored by his children, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei is an example that everyone admires."

Du Yuqiong said: "My son is ignorant, and I also know that there used to be a king in the world who was not an official all his life and lived in seclusion in the world, but everyone praised him for his seclusion and honesty; In advance and retreat, men follow the way, but we women only have this way. How can the world turn yin and yang into yin and yang? If you want to know the reason, you need to go to a higher level."

Ye Guhong and Zhen Jia were both stunned by such sonorous words, Zhen Jia was silent for a while, then suddenly bowed and saluted: "Ms. Du's words opened my eyes and ears."

Du Yuqiong hurriedly got up and said "I don't dare to do it", Ye Guhong smiled and saw the two of them interacting, and said: "Sit down." He said to Du Yuqiong: "You have an attachment in your heart, of course you can pursue unremittingly, but cultivating Taoism is expensive. If you have a guilty conscience and are obsessed with something, you will be exhausted, which is unreasonable and counterproductive. You should remember it.”

Seeing what Du Yuqiong wrote down, Ye Guhong passed down another mantra, instructing the two to practice, "At the beginning of learning the Tao, you must sit quietly, withdraw your mind and leave the environment, live in nothing, do not hold on to anything, and enter nothingness by yourself. This is true. Ding Zhengzheng. Use this as Ding, no longer wandering, united with Dao Ming, and resting in Dao. Knowing permanence. Knowing is all-encompassing, and permanence is never changing. It is because of this that you are free from life and death. Therefore, the Dharma and Tao are at ease, and you have nothing to grasp."

After a short while, he said again: "But sitting still is not just sitting blindly. If you don't know the profound meaning, it's useless to think quietly. If you don't move, your qi and blood will stagnate. It's dry, stagnant, and dead. You need to practice both movement and stillness. The ups and downs are the natural energy of heaven and earth, the way of endless life." After speaking, he glanced at the sky, "The rain is coming, you go first, and then go up the mountain if you don't understand."

Zhen Jia and Du Yuqiong respectfully learned the lesson, and they knelt down to thank each other.Ye Guhong didn't bother them to go down the mountain again in the rain, he just waved his sleeves and sent them down the mountain in the blink of an eye.Looking up again, black clouds rushed towards them, and they were all over the sky in the blink of an eye.As the heavy rain is approaching, the surrounding clouds are getting thicker. Looking from the distance from the pavilion, several mountains near and far exude a deep blue color, as if the paintbrush dipped in dark green is uneven and upside down.Lightning flashed in the air, followed by thunder. In an instant, thousands of white lines fell, splashing and jumping beads.

Ye Guhong was watching intently, when he suddenly heard someone chuckle in the sound of rain, "Junior Brother is so intrigued."

He turned his head to look at the way he had come. Cheng Jizhen walked slowly with a bamboo umbrella in the midst of the raging wind and rain.At this time, the rain was rushing like arrows, but he didn't touch even a trace of water vapor, and the clouds walked around him, and there was wind at every step, making him look extraordinarily clear and clear, like an exiled immortal.Ye Guhong stood up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Why is Senior Brother Cheng here?"

Cheng Jizhen walked into the pavilion, put away his umbrella and leaned against the pillar, and sat opposite Ye Guhong: "What do you think of these two?"

"Both root and temperament are good, savvy is also good, it just depends on the future opportunity." Ye Guhong replied: "I don't know which senior will be recruited in the future."

"You don't have to worry about it, the left and right are not the Lotus Peak." Cheng Jizhen said: "Master has made it clear a few years ago that he will not accept disciples within a hundred years."

Ye Guhong said worriedly: "I don't know when Master will return."

Six years ago, a meteorite suddenly fell in Duanjingtian Northwest Hanzhou, Guanming. According to eyewitnesses, the meteorite was yellowish-white in color, and it fell with purple light and flames.When it reaches the ground, it disappears, only the light and shadow remain undulating, and the moon does not stop.Most sects in this world were alarmed, Fenglou and Yuxudian Zhuang Chongan went to check, but they never came back, so far there is no news, fortunately, their lives are bright, which makes people less worried.

Cheng Ji also showed a slight worry on his real face, and then he smiled again: "Master Yin Shixiu of Fuyun Peak is good at divination. He once said that Master and Master Zhuang are not in danger of their lives, and the turning point has come. I think there will be news soon. Pass it back to the sect."

Ye Guhong had never heard this before, and said happily: "Is that true?"

Cheng Ji really smiled: "Don't dare to lie to Junior Brother."

While the two were talking and laughing, the rainstorm gradually subsided, the white water fell, the mountains were still blue, water droplets slid down from the eaves of the pavilion, and the flower branches that had just been shaken by the rain slowly straightened up.Cheng Jizhen picked up a dying bird, "It's pitiful."

Ye Guhong took it, breathed in his mouth and blew it close, the little sparrow lying on his palm slowly came to life tremblingly, its bean-like eyes opened, its gray-brown head turned back and forth, looking around, and after a while, Then he struggled to jump up, spread his wings, tilted his head to look at the person, suddenly flapped his wings, and jumped into the air in an instant.
