Chapter 57
When the first ray of morning light shines on the white fox, the white energy and morning light are mixed together and turn into purple mist. According to legend, Qi Refiners collect innate purple energy, which is probably the case.
The white fox stopped reciting and sucked his mouth and nose, and the purple air around him was sucked into his body by it.
It slowly opened its eyes and finally found Ji Liao. It hurriedly bowed and said, "Did the little fox disturb His Highness?"
Ji Liao smiled and said, "No, I'm taking the liberty to ask something, I wonder where the Huangting Sutra you recited came from?"
The white fox said: "This is what the little fox saw on the pavilion pillar in a pavilion in the backyard."
Ji Liao secretly called himself a surprise and said, "Can you take me to see?"
The white fox led Ji Liao through the hall to transfer the house. Soon after, he saw a pond full of withered lotus and decaying grass on the shore. The courtyard was quiet, and it was obvious that few people came.
A pavilion is built beside the lotus pond with the words "Listen to the wind, rain and fragrance". The handwriting is no different from the previous "Falling flowers are independent, and the light rain swifts fly together".
This seems to be the work of his "mother".
"Listen to the wind and rain" is not surprising, but the word "listening to the fragrance" shows the magic. The fragrance is not how to hear the sound, and there is also a clear difference between "listening" and "smelling".
Hearing is active, listening is passive.
The active one is moved, and the passive one is calm. Ji Liao seemed to see a leisurely woman through these handwritings. No matter what, she would not make her heart fluctuate and could not control herself.
Ji Liao walked into the pavilion in leisurely, and the pavilion pillars around him were empty. He said to the white fox: "Why can't you see the Huangting Sutra?"
The white fox said, "Your Highness can't see it, the Huangting Sutra is on these pavilions."
Ji Liao became more and more strange. He knew that there was no need for the white fox to deceive himself. It was just why it could see it but it couldn't see it. Ji Liao thought of the feelings he had just obtained from "listening to the fragrance" and realized something was strange in a moment.
He smiled indifferently, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, eliminated the distractions in his heart, and opened his eyes again, and indeed saw that there were words recorded on the pavilion pillar, which was the Huangting Jing.
The handwriting is still graceful and gentle, and there is a sense of freedom and freedom, deeply interpreting the Taoist beauty of movement and stillness.
It turns out that the text on it must be visible without distractions.
It seems that the White Fox saw the Huang Ting Jing by chance because of his pure heart.
Ji Liao found a line of small words from Teihashima again, "What do you know about life everywhere? It should be like flying geese walking on the snow mud." After reading silently, he could almost determine that even if his so-called mother did not come from the world where he was a top student, she would definitely have a lot to do with him.
"It's just that what she wants to express in this poem." Ji Liao couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Ji Liao developed an interesting heart and wanted to find out the truth. But before that, he had to ask Su Qiu about his "mother".
...
"What is strange about Master? I wonder what it is?" Su Qiu asked.
Ji Liao said: "Have she written poems and lyrics?"
Su Qiu shook her head and said, "The master left very few poems, but she once wrote a couplet in the sect, which I was very impressed. The couplet was 'Living in this mountain, and the clouds were deep and unknown.'. My master said that the couplet was very good and could be engraved in front of the mountain gate, but my master said that this sentence had been used by the sect, and it would be a bit of a picky wisdom to use. The master asked which Taoist sect was originally. The master said that the sect was from Buddhism. The master asked what the sect was called, and the master refused to say it. However, the master liked the most was writing novels. The master said that writing novels was not of any benefit to practice. The master wrote a novel overnight for my master to read. After my master inspected it, he was silent for a long time. Later, I asked the master what the master wrote, and the master told me that the master was not a novel, but a golden elixir road."
Ji Liaoqi said: "What's the name of that novel?"
Su Qiu said: "I don't know, I secretly flipped a few pages, and I only remember that the novel was about a monkey. Before I could read much, I was discovered by my master. The master lost the manuscript paper that recorded the novel. She said that the way of practicing Jindan Dao is no longer suitable for today's era. I observed it by myself, and it is of no benefit to my own practice."
Ji Liao said: "What's next?" He vaguely speculated that the novel was probably "Journey to the West", because this novel is both a story and a way of Taoist cultivation, and the way of golden elixir.
Su Qiu said: "The master died later."
Ji Liao said: "How did she die?"
Su Qiu said: "The master was naturally destroyed. She was closed to death and had not come out for a long time. Later, one day my master cried and I realized that my master had passed away. And I also told you that before my master closed to death, she used the art of enlightenment on me, so I gained my master's lifelong practice experience. For this reason, I saved decades of hard work. If I could enter the heavenly way in the future, it was all due to the gift of my master. Therefore, without the master's instructions, I would also return favors to you."
"Actually, you don't have to take this favor to heart, but I know that if you don't repay it, it will be an obstacle to your practice, so I have to accept your help with shame, but I still hope you don't worry too much. If we practitioners owe more to heaven and earth in terms of cause and effect. I once heard a saying, 'Everything is born to nourish people, and no one can repay heaven'. After thinking about it carefully, there is still some truth." Ji Liao said slowly.
Su Qiu heard this and realized something. She said, "The way of heaven is so selfless. If this is the case, wouldn't we also have to end the cause and effect of heaven and earth in order to achieve the right result?"
Although she was in the world, she was actually devoted to her practice. Even though she followed Ji Liao, she was trying to accomplish the cause and effect of her practice and had no other thoughts. This is the biggest difference between her and her master. It can be said that her achievements at a young age were not entirely because Jinghong gave her enlightenment.
Ji Liao smiled and said, "I haven't achieved the right result. It's better to ask me for nothing than to ask me. It's better to go to the temple to ask Gods and Buddhas."
"Seeking the right result is seeking death." Mu Qing's voice sounded in Ji Liao's ears.
He asked in his heart: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
Ji Liao said: "It seems that you still have many secrets that you haven't revealed to me."
"Instead of caring about these things, you might as well prepare for tomorrow's battle. If you lose to Taixuan Seven Secrets tomorrow, even my face will be lost." Mu Qing snorted.
The concept of the Taixuan Sutra, which practices the seven quatrains of Taixuan, is different from the Taoist theory of yin and yang. Instead, it extends the interaction between the three "heaven, earth and man" based on yin and yang, and is unique among the Taoist practice sects.
Even though Mu Qing was extremely unhappy with Taixuan Sect, he mentioned to Ji Liao several times that Taixuan Sect's martial arts were truly unique. If she hadn't damaged Taixuan Sect hard for thousands of years, she would have probably surpassed Nalanda Temple and firmly sat in the position of the world's number one major practice sect.
