Chapter 50 [Xu Huaizhen on the way to practice]
It seems that in a few days, it is time to go down the mountain.
Solving the problem of the obsession with the original body, Fang Chang has been remembering, but he didn't bother, just waited quietly according to the hunch in the dark.
The opportunity to get rid of obsession now finally has a clue. As long as I go down the mountain and follow the right direction, I can make progress.
But there is no rush, now is not the best time to go down the mountain.
Fang Chang adjusted the chessboard on his shoulders and continued to move forward.
After walking not far, I came to the half-human alpine temple, but I saw that there were traces of sacrifices here, and there were still a few burnt incense tails and a few incense ash in the small furnace in front of the temple.
Fang Chang walked to the temple gate and stomped his feet lightly:
"Zhang Shanshen, Fang Chang is visiting."
In almost an instant, the mountain **** Zhang Chun appeared in front of the temple gate. He looked at the boulder Fang Chang was carrying, a little surprised and a little apprehensive, fearing that Fang Shangxian would accidentally smash his temple, he immediately said:
"Shangxian be careful, this is?"
"The chessboard." Fang Chang answered very briefly.
Looking around, Zhang Shanshen saw the place under the pines and cypresses next to the small temple, where he often sat with the Shangxian, so he pointed there: "Fang Shangxian, you can put it here."
Hearing the words and nodding, Fang Chang walked forward carrying the huge and heavy stone with a chessboard on it.
Then he kicked down the big rock that the mountain **** used to sit on.
"Then put it here."
After speaking, he put down the stone on his shoulders and placed it carefully in the newly vacated position.
And he clapped his hands back, took off the chess basket on his body, and smiled at Zhang Shanshen next to him: "This is the chess piece on the chessboard. If Shanshen has time, he can learn how to play in the next few days."
The mountain **** saluted and said: "The little **** is terrified, and the Shangxian has been so troublesome."
Fang Chang sat down on the stone beside him, waved his hands and smiled, "It's all about pleasure, idleness is idleness. The so-called free and easy is nothing more than doing whatever you want, or in other words, if you don't want to do something, you can do whatever you want." do what."
Zhang Shanshen also laughed:
"The little **** is very envious of Shangxian's carelessness."
"Each has its own advantages." Fang Chang said, "You are free, but you don't know the way forward, so you can only go on silently alone. However, those who can walk on this road have already overcome these things and will not be affected at all. It's bothering."
He is not very good at chess, but Shanshen is just getting started, and the teaching process is quite interesting.
Picking up a chess piece and putting it on the board, Fang Chang raised his head and smiled: "This place is much better than mine, and the head is covered."
The mountain **** is immersed in the chessboard. For people who have been bored for hundreds of years, this entertainment is quite fascinating: "There are a lot of pines and cypresses here. In fact, Shangxian can also plant trees on the cliff. There are many good trees in this cloud mountain." , transplanted in the past."
"Good idea." Fang Chang accompanied him a few times and asked, "Is this mountain temple a good place for incense recently?"
"It's really good, at least it's much better than before." The mountain **** raised his head happily and told Fang Chang: "Recently, for some reason, the saying that this place is effective has gradually spread down the mountain. ? The little **** didn’t investigate.”
"A lot of pedestrians passing by the official road will occasionally turn here to offer some incense and pray for a safe journey. Although there are not many people, for the little god, this is the difference between existence and non-existence, which is tantamount to Tianyuan difference."
...
…
Fang Chang's small melon field ushered in the harvest season.
The growth period of melons ranges from two months to half a year. Depending on the variety, the length of time varies greatly.
Today, finally a melon looks ready to eat.
The temperature difference between day and night on Xianqi Cliff is not small, which is very conducive to increasing the sugar content of melons and fruits.
In this melon field, there are still melon flowers blooming, and there are also many small melons just swollen, with petals on the front end.
In the next month, I will not be short of melons.
The dozens of sorghum plants next to the melon fields are also growing very well. They are still too early to mature, but they are already standing on the cliff with their heads raised to the sky. The bottom is thickly supported and inserted into the soil.
Fang Chang picked the first ripe melon, walked slowly to the stream to wash it, and then returned to the house.
Sit down on the stone bench, he looked at the melon in his hand, and opened his mouth to chew on it.
This melon is like the melon that was brought up from Linxi Village at the foot of the mountain and left to grow after eating. The melon is fragrant, sweet, crisp and refreshing, and the taste is restored very well.
Beside the stone table and bench, there is a new ginkgo tree.
Two-finger thick and thin, taller than one person, with a few leaves on top, swaying slightly in the mountain wind.
Before seeing the shade of pines and cypresses outside the God Gate of Zhangshan Mountain, Fang Chang liked it a little, so he found this sapling in the mountain and transplanted it next to it.
After it grows up, in autumn, when the leaves are flying, the ground here will be golden.
Eating the melon, Fang Chang was thinking about things silently.
In a few days, I will definitely have to go down the mountain. The opportunity to solve this obsession with the original body has come, and it is just right to travel.
Original character is to go with the situation, and after reviving a life, he embarked on the road of cultivation, which can be regarded as a coincidence.
Fortunately, his state of mind coincided with the Dao in the book, and his cultivation progressed very quickly.
To get the Tao, you must first understand the Tao, and to cultivate your mind first.
The two books in Fang Chang's hands, "The Way of Practice" and "The Way of Practice", one explains the Tao and the other guides the way.
The way is before the law. After understanding this way, as long as the state of mind is reached, the law practiced is important, but it is only auxiliary, and the cultivation base will naturally catch up with the state of mind quickly.
It can even be said that throughout the ages, the law will change, but the way will remain the same.
As for the various techniques performed, there is no need to pay too much attention to them. When the cultivation base is reached, when the need arises, the aura will flash, and you will naturally be able to master it.
Besides, as long as the flow of chance and cause and effect, the right to control is not yours. The so-called planning is up to people and success is up to heaven, and caring too much will only become obsession.
There is only one way to deal with it:
Let nature take its course.
In daily life, don’t get bogged down in the mud, but if something comes your way, it seems wise to avoid it against your will, but it will dust your heart, so no matter what you encounter, just face it calmly.
There is nothing in the world that can last forever, and there is no creature that can last forever.
Mountains and rocks will decay and weather, the sea will evaporate and dry up, the sun, moon and stars will be extinguished, and even the universe will have an end.
let alone practitioners?
Cultivation can lead to longevity, and Fang Chang has stepped into the door of longevity. But nothing lasts forever in this world.
However, whether to embark on this path is not a difficult decision--cultivating immortality, you can enjoy yourself for a hundred thousand years, and if you don't cultivate, you can live for fifty years. Simply compare and you will know which one to choose.
Fang Chang gently collected the melon seeds, ready to dry and continue planting next year.
This melon tastes good.
I heard that in the west of the world, there are all kinds of melons and fruits, and there are countless types. If there is a chance in the future, you can consider getting some seeds and introducing them to the Central Plains, and at the same time plant some on the Xianqi Cliff.
