Way of Choices

Chapter 23: It's that simple

The book is read a hundred times and its meaning is self-evident. It’s just that some people only need ten days, and some people need half a year. There is really nothing to say about this comparison. As Tang Thirty-six said, the girl often made people speechless, and Chen Changsheng naturally had no choice but to speak. .

But somehow, Shuanger was not happy when she looked at Chen Changsheng's silence and even Mu Ne, or she always thought that since you have a marriage contract with the young lady, then even if the strength is very different, at least it should show its will or ambition. ?

And in her view, if it were not for the young lady to write a letter from Nanxizhai, Chen Changsheng now only fears that she is alive and dead. Where else is there a chance to enter the National College of Education and sit on the clean floor to study and practice? Don't you be thankful, but you shouldn't be so silent, just think nothing happened?

Shuanger watched him shake his head, took a thin piece of stationery from his arms and passed it.

"Since you now have a rare opportunity for spiritual practice, you should cherish it more. Starting from the foundation, being down-to-earth, don't always think about something wicked and evil, and don't always pin your hopes on others, especially women." She didn't know what to think of. , Severely said: "Cultivation is not that simple, even if there is no hope, I hope you will not break the jar, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Changsheng took the paper, stunned, and did not understand what she meant by this sentence. She wanted to hide in this cemetery-like college to study and practice silently. Does God's Mansion and that Miss Xu still think I'm a little eye-catching?

The sun outside the library is high in the sky, and the leaves are uproarious, scattering the falling light into many spots. Fortunately, in the early spring, the weather was not too hot. The paper carried the fragrance of her daughter's house, but there was no sweat.

Chen Changsheng looked at the four words on the paper and was silent for a long time.

"Good for yourself."

The writing on the paper is relatively beautiful, but it is not as amazing as it is, and the strokes are very straight, looking a bit naive and cute. He guessed that these four words should be written by the lady Xu from the far south. Nor can the girl who wrote such a clumsy handwriting be associated with the genius girl rumored in the rumors.

He understood the meaning of these four words, and it was as if he saw the expression of Miss Xu when they wrote the four words. Presumably, she must have an indifferent look at that time, her eyebrows slightly frowned, some impatient, and some unhappy, More does not matter.

She wrote four words to him, in fact, the key is the word, the word "self".

Since, it is itself.

You live by yourself.

You study by yourself.

Practice yourself.

Eat and drink yourself.

Chen Changsheng thought quietly for a while, no longer thinking about it, put the note in his sleeve, stood up, walked to the shelf and began to search for the forty-nine books on the back cover list of "Principle Washing". While looking for it, thinking about the previous frost maiden's words, his brows could not help but wrinkled, and the speed of his fingers moving between the books became slower-it really only takes ten days to put so many books After reading it a hundred times? What does that look like?

"Principle Washing" is an overview of practice, and the forty-nine books on the back cover are the real learning objects. Students should use the knowledge and wisdom in these books to open their minds, solidify their understanding of the world, and thus strengthen their own Soul.

This is pure spiritual practice-since the book of heaven came into being, mankind began to practice, and this step was first adopted in this step of concentration. Or because countless previous sages have concluded that this method is the most efficient and has the highest success rate, or because text is the only carrier of thought, then if you want to use your predecessors' thoughts to help your own thoughts become power, you must naturally pass The bridge of words.

Since this method is used, the forty-nine books in the remarks of The Theory of Washing the Essence are naturally recognized by human society as the forty-nine books that can help condense the consciousness. After the bibliography, it has never changed.

Chen Changsheng walked by the bookshelf to find. Rao was very familiar with the sequence of book collection, and it took him half an hour to find the forty-nine books together, and then all moved to the floor next to the window, arranged in order.

He didn't start reading right away, but went to Baihua Alley to eat vegetable soup and rice, and rested for half an hour on the lakeside lawn covered by dense trees. Until God was satisfied, he went back to the library and picked it up again. The first book begins to read.

When searching for books before, he had determined that these books had not been read by the title of the book. It was a little regretful, and it was curious. What exactly these books wrote, could actually help humans condense their minds.

The first book he picked up was called "Pu Men Chu Jie". He confirmed that he had not read the book, so when he opened the book and saw some familiar sentences, he thought he was dazzled. , Just like in the examination of the Taoist Academy.

This book is very thin, but he feels a bit heavy. He stared at the content in the book, and he was a bit stunned to find that he had already read it as early as the age of four. To be more precise, he had already gone back to the content.

It's just that in the old temple in Xining Town, this book is called Baopu Jing.

He was a little surprised because he seemed to have returned to the examination site of Tiandao Academy. He thought that such a good thing could not happen all the time, but he did not expect to appear again, which made him a little trance, and it took a while to wake up.

After waking up, he quickly opened the second book.

The name of this book is: "Tianshuling Zanfu Collection"

Turning the pages quickly like a breeze, he quickly confirmed that he had also read the book. The hymns and verses of the former sages and goddesses were all in his mind, but when he was five years old, he was old in Xining. When reading these poems in the temple, the name of the collection is called "Shihualu".

Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and opened the third book.

Still the same.

He has also read this book, but it is different from the name he read when he was a child.

The fourth book, the fifth book... He quickly scanned through the forty-nine books and confirmed that they had read them all.

Is this the same again?

Is this still a surprise? Chen Changsheng picked up "Principle Washing" again, and was silent for a long time. He pondered silently in his heart. The corner of his lips did not know when it had been raised. His eyes narrowed like a galaxy flowing, full of smiles.

He remembered what Shuang said when he left.

"Practice is not that simple."

He looked up and saw that the light and shadow at the entrance of the library were mottled, and the breeze was coming, but there was no shadow, and he couldn't help but feel a bit lost-if the little girl was still there, he really wanted to tell her that he seemed to be more likely than yours. Miss condenses her mind faster.

But he immediately thought that Xu Yourong had read the forty-nine books a hundred times to see the true meaning. When he condensed his mind and succeeded, he was only four years old. The pride that he had just born suddenly dissipated. He laughed at himself and thought it was meaningless.

The next thing is to use the above method of "Principle Washing" to convert these 49 volumes of text and the information accompanying the text into the nutrients of their powerful gods and souls, and then condense their consciousness in one fell swoop.

In other words, at this critical moment, it will probably continue downward. However, Chen Changsheng glanced at the sky and found that the sun had moved westward and the twilight was getting darker. He actually put down The Theory of Washing the Marrow, packed up the books on the floor, and walked out of the library.

It's time for dinner.

...

Because you have to eat dinner, you can ignore the opportunities at your fingertips to change your fate. If this is self-discipline, this self-discipline is too harsh and cruel, more like some kind of self-abuse, but it can also be said to be some kind of self-confidence, because he believes that opportunity will not slip away.

From the entrance examination of the Heavenly Taoist College, to the discovery of these 49 books in my mind today, Chen Changsheng has been able to determine some things-Master has already laid all the foundations for his practice for a long time. Master really is not an ordinary Taoist.

The road of monasticism is long, and he and his fellow brothers have been studying Taoist collection since childhood, and 10,000 volumes of books are in their chests, which means that he has set off a long time ahead of others. First reach the other shore.

Chen Changsheng has always been confident. Now that he has determined these things, he is more confident. At this time the twilight was getting darker and the lasting sun was gone, but in his more open mind, there was a round of red sun rising slowly, where else would worry about the darkness ahead?

After dinner, he returned to the library again, boiled a pot of boiling water, washed a cup of flower tea bought in Baihua Alley, sat cross-legged, meditated for a moment, gazing slowly over the neatly arranged 49 volumes of books After that, it finally fell on the "Principle of Washing".

The words in the book, which floated from the deepest part of his mind, came back from his childhood memories, became very real, and then gradually released a certain breath, following the method of the first chapter of "Principle Washing", in He kept blending in the world of thought.

Many years ago, in the old temple, he had already completed Qi Zhi. At this time, what he had to do was solid consciousness.

He closed his eyes, thinking quietly, and then gradually forgot to think.

The so-called open-mindedness is not so complicated.

It's just a combination of four characters.

As time passed, in the wetlands outside the library, I wondered when the frogs sounded.

It is still early spring.

The night is getting darker, the stars are getting brighter, and there is a lot of noise in Kyoto.

One's National College of Education is still so quiet.

The oil lamp in the library is very weak, but it never seems to go out.

Suddenly, there was a soft buzz in the hall.

This sound comes from between heaven and earth.

There is wind around the building.
