Chapter 44: There is a Master in the World

Chapter 44 There is a Master in the World A few days later. The spiritual practice is on the right track. The two were on their way to Xianyuan Temple again. The mountain paths are not easy to walk on. In many places, they are just paths that can barely be called roads or mountain cliffs that can barely be walked on. They are slippery and dangerous. Two people and a fox are walking on them. The sky was clearly a faint blue, but the top of the mountain was in the clouds, and water droplets hung on the eyebrows and hair of both men. "Brother, the fox you picked up is going to be raised into a dog." "It has been following the cats in the Taoist temple every day recently. It needs to be trained to be a cat." "But it's grown a little bit, and it's getting prettier and slimmer!" The little sister said as they walked. "Fourth brother said it's definitely not an ordinary fox, it might be the offspring of a fox spirit!" "Maybe." Lin Jue thought of his previous experience, "Fox spirits may not be inferior to humans."

"That's true! But in the stories, foxes in the mountains have the ability to change and deceive people. Brother, do you think it will be able to do the same in the future?" "Who knows?" The little fox behind took small steps, as if it knew they were talking about it, and raised its head to look at them. "Brother, look at the mountain!" The junior sister who was walking in front suddenly stopped and pointed to the mountain top in the distance. It was an extremely majestic and steep mountain, almost the entire mountain was exposed granite, covered only with a little green, and even the unique Yishan pine trees in this area had difficulty taking root on it. Originally it was completely obscured by clouds and mist, but now the wind blew and the top of the mountain was exposed, standing above the sea of ​​clouds, as if it reached straight into the sky. Looking in the direction pointed by the junior sister—— I saw what seemed like human figures on the mountain, one in front and one behind, walking and talking on the seemingly dangerous granite rocks, and then they seemed to sit down to play chess and drink tea. "There's someone up there!" "Saw……" The little sister looked up at the sky blankly: "What the master said is true! There are indeed immortals in Yishan!" "possible." Lin Jue also looked up. I only felt the surrounding clouds and mist, the fairy air floating in the air, and the vague human figures were difficult to see clearly. It was really like the fairy stories described in the books. They had been traveling along this road for a month before. When they were lucky, they had seen the true appearance of this peak. The rest of the time, it was mostly obscured by clouds. Lin Jue asked his senior brother and only knew that it was called Tiandu, which seemed to mean the metropolis in heaven. The other peak opposite it was called Lianhua, which was the residence of the mountain god. However, this mountain looks close only because it is big. Lin Jue doesn't know how to walk over it, nor does he know where to climb. At least it doesn't look like it can be climbed. Powerful magic is another matter. "Let's go, Junior Sister."

"Oh……" The two came to Xianyuan Temple again. Lin Jue and the other person entered the mountain gate, walked up the stone steps, and arrived at the entrance of the hall. Stop and take a closer look at the main hall. There are couplets on both sides: Under the pillars, the mysterious wind is swept, and the immortal history has been trusted with seventy words; The mountains are filled with purple air, and the Taoist scriptures once wrote five thousand words. Lin Jue looked inside and saw that there were already more than a dozen young Taoist priests sitting there. Wang Jizi was also sitting in the front, resting with his eyes closed in the midst of green smoke. Over the past month, they gradually realized that Wangjizi was indeed a person who was harsh in words but not harsh in heart. Seeing that there were still two empty cushions, the two of them walked over and sat down. "Why did you come just now?" A young Taoist priest sitting at the front turned around and stared at them with a frown, "I have to wait for you for a while every time. I know the road is long, but don't you know to leave earlier?" "Brother, I've been waiting for a long time." Lin Jue said while sitting on the mat. These young Taoist priests also have their own personalities. The young Taoist priest named Yun Yi is more competitive. He is considered to be more talented among the more than ten disciples in Xianyuan Temple. However, in previous sermons, he often did not understand what was being said while Lin Jue often spoke fluently with Wang Jizi. In terms of learning to read, he is not as good as his junior sister who comes back every night to study until late at night. I guess he must have been frustrated for most of half a month. It was not until some time ago that a group of disciples from Xianyuan Temple began to learn and practice spiritual techniques, drawing the yin and yang energies into their bodies. This was ahead of those from Fuqiu Temple, and only then did they regain some confidence. "Pure!" A voice came from above, coming from Wangjizi. Wangjizi knew that the road was long and dangerous, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the young Taoist priest and said, "You don't even have this much patience. What kind of Taoism are you practicing?" Then he waved the whisk in his hand, stirring up the smoke in the room. "Have you also started practicing spiritual techniques?" Wangjizi glanced at the two people sitting at the back. "here we go." "How are you doing?" "I have already drawn the yin and yang spiritual energy into my body." Lin Jue was talking about his junior sister, and since he succeeded on the first day, it must have been several days. "Well." Wang Jizi said calmly: "If you can draw the spirit into your body, you have entered the door of cultivation. Now that you have the spirit, how can you do it without spells? Today, I will not talk about anything else, but teach you a commonly used spell." When these words were spoken, many young Taoist priests became very excited. "This method is called: Calling the Wind." Wangjizi continued to speak calmly: "People often talk about calling the wind and rain, but in fact, these are two different spells: calling the rain is difficult to learn and the threshold is extremely high, while calling the wind is much simpler, but how strong the wind you can raise depends on your Taoist practice. Even if you can only summon a breeze within a few feet, walk down the mountain and show it to others, you will have some Taoist aura." Lin Jue sat still, and so did his junior sister. The two of them were mostly like this during this month. Whenever they listened to sermons or learned spiritual teachings, they were always very focused and would not even look at each other. Only after they finished listening would they discuss and study alone. "Wind is the flow of air between heaven and earth. It is invisible but has traces, colorless but has sounds. It is soft in nature but strong in power. It can break leaves in autumn and make flowers bloom in February. It can make waves a thousand feet high in the river and make bamboos lean against the trees..." Wang Jizi muttered slowly.

A mountain breeze blew into the hall, blowing the green smoke around and bringing some coolness to this midsummer. It continued for most of the day. What was different from before was that this time everyone was so obsessed with the mystery of magic that they didn't even eat lunch. Wang Jizi was also very engaged in the lecture and didn't stop in the middle. Even the fox at the door listened carefully. From morning to afternoon. "This method is mysterious. You all practice the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method. It can be calculated that this kind of natural magic is actually closer to the Five Elements. You can go back and comprehend it carefully. If you don't understand, you can ask the master in the temple. If you can blow a breeze within a month, it means you have talent in this "wind calling". If you still can't blow the wind after three months, it is either because you lack talent or understanding, or you are not destined to be with the wind. There is no need to force it." Taoist Wangjizi said to them: "Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month. One month from now, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, I will come again to test your progress." After saying this, he waved his sleeves and asked everyone to disperse. Many of the young Taoist priests were eager to learn and were still unwilling to leave. Instead, they sat together, whispering and discussing with each other. After a while, someone stood up. "I wonder if there is any food left in the canteen?" As soon as these words were spoken, many young Taoist priests felt hungry, and they quickly got up and ran to the canteen to eat. "Brother, we..." The junior sister couldn't help but turn her head and look at Lin Jue. It is a very fair and pretty face. "I'm hungry too, and it's getting late, so let's go back quickly." "Okay!" So he got up and went out, walking back. Looking up, I saw that the clouds and mist that lingered around Tiandu Peak in the morning had dispersed a little, but had not completely dissipated. There was still some light gauze draped over it. The clouds appeared and disappeared, rolled and stretched, and changed. In an instant, there were countless forms of sight. But the figure above had long disappeared. "Brother, do you understand?" "It's foggy." "Misty? What do you mean?" "I didn't really understand. I just took note." "Then I am also confused!" "It sounds very mysterious and hard to grasp." "I think so too. I'm afraid I can't learn it." Every time the little sister said something, she looked very serious and her tone was very solemn. "I will learn 'Shi Ji' from Master starting tomorrow." “Then you have to work hard.” "Of course!"

"..." "Brother, learn quickly, don't be slower than them!" “Watch the road carefully.” "Oh." "..." "Brother, tell me, after we learn magic, can we climb that mountain?" "That depends on whether there are any brothers in the temple who can perform such magic." "We took the magic pill?" "If you don't fall to your death, you will definitely be able to get up." "Then we should wait until we learn some magic and then climb up that mountain to look for the gods. I'm afraid we might fall to our death." "..." Lin Jue unknowingly quickened his pace. The little fox ran after it. There was no wind or rain at this time, so it was a good time to travel. Soon returned to the Taoist temple. After eating something, Lin Jue returned to his room and opened the ancient book. There is an extra page in the book: The method of calling the wind and raising the wind. Calling the wind and rain are all natural magic of heaven and earth. If one does not rely on divine power, one must have a sense of the five elements of nature. It is mysterious and unpredictable. Some people can learn it overnight, while others may never be able to achieve it in their entire lifetime. This is similar to what Wangjizi said. Lin Jue pinched the page of the book, and another voice was heard. According to the book, this kind of natural magic should be classified as the five elements magic, but it does not belong to any one of the five elements. If you want to practice it, there is no fixed way, you can only feel it with heaven and earth. Then he talked about many of the predecessors' insights, various tricks and precautions. Lin Jue was confused as to what he heard, not quite understanding. After listening to it twice, it was almost dusk, so I put down the ancient book and pushed the door open to go out. He wanted to ask the master and senior brothers for advice, but unexpectedly the temple was empty, leaving only the breeze. Lin Jue walked around and looked for a while, but did not see the shadows of the master and senior brothers in the front and back yards and the two halls. He only heard the faint sound of a flute coming from the mountain. It should be the fourth senior brother who was practicing spiritual techniques and spells in the mountains, or playing for fun when he was bored. "..." Lin Jue stood in the yard and thought about it, then simply picked up his hatchet and backpack, and prepared to go for a walk in the mountain to see if he could chop some firewood or pick some mushrooms, and look for his fourth senior brother at the same time. So I walked up the mountain following the sound of the flute. There are two paths behind the Taoist temple, one on the left and one on the right. The left one passes by the second senior brother’s alchemy pavilion, and the right one passes by a small pavilion in the mountains. They then merge together at the top and finally lead to the top of Fuqiu Peak.

Lin Jue heard the sound of a flute coming from the right, so he walked along the path on the right. There are steps in this section, so it is easy to walk on. As we walked, the flute sound stopped. "Ok?" Lin Jue stopped in the mountains, looked up at the vast forest and could not tell the direction for a moment. But on second thought, this is not a big deal. Finding the fourth brother to ask for the wind-calling method is one purpose, and chopping wood and picking mushrooms in the mountains is another purpose. If you can't find the fourth brother, just chop wood. Besides, the fourth brother may not know how to call the wind, so it's good to ask the master at dinner in the evening. So Lin Jue shook his head, took out his hatchet, and planned to walk down the steps and into the dense forest to look for dead branches and rotten wood. But just after taking one step—— "call……" A wind suddenly blew in the mountains in the evening. The wind was so strong and comfortable, it blew up Lin Jue's hair and clothes, revealing his shape. The wind was also so cool, it took away the heat from climbing the mountain. Lin Jue felt as if he was in an ocean of wind. It was midsummer, and the mountains were full of bellflower trees, bearing green thumb-sized flowers that looked like the ancient bells that rang every day in the Taoist temples, densely packed together. Beside the pavilion, there were tall trees bearing strings of green flower seeds, or perhaps fruit, smaller than mung beans, that covered the road paved with bluestone slabs, forming a layer of it. When the wind blew, the bell flowers and leaves all rustled, and the flower seeds on the ground all danced in the wind, swirling around Lin Jue like green dust, drawing the path of the wind. Lin Jue suddenly froze in place. All the words that Wang Jizi said today echoed in his mind, and the voice in the ancient book also echoed in his mind. At this moment, Lin Jue seemed to be truly connected with the heaven and earth at this moment, and he instantly understood what wind was. It was a mysterious thing that was difficult to describe in words. There had never been a moment in Lin Jue's life when he was more aware of the shape and sound of the wind than at that moment. For a moment, it seemed as if it was about to rise with the wind. After a while, the wind stopped. There had just been a strong wind blowing across the sky and earth, and now it was completely silent again, creating an extreme silence in contrast. In the silence, another sound was heard. "wind……" The bellflower beside the pavilion suddenly trembled and shook, like a string of green bells shaking, so lovely. Then the wind started to blow, and the bellflowers flew in the direction of the wind. The green dust on the ground flew up again, swirling around Lin Jue. The fox looked up and followed the flower seeds and dust with his eyes. His soft fur was also shaken by the wind, outlining the shape of the wind. The only difference is that the wind this time is only blowing beside this pavilion. Lin Jue still stood there. At this moment, my heart is full of mystery, and within the mystery there is an indescribable sense of accomplishment, which creates a kind of fun and joy that is rare in the world, as if I have turned into the wind and am wandering in the mountains.
