Chapter 13: Temptation
A boy approached, looked at Yi Yan sitting there motionlessly, and asked, "What are you watching when you sit here?"
Yi Yan stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "It's sunset."
"What's the beauty of the sunset?" said the boy with a clear and beautiful face, "I'll take you to a place to have fun."
When Yi Yan saw the look of anticipation on his face, he shook his head and said, "My uncle is inside. He will not be able to find me later."
The boy looked at the room and said, "Oh, it's in the third senior brother's room. It's okay. They don't know when it will be. The third senior brother is the most nagging. It will take a long time to come out. When they come out, we will all come back. Besides, even if we don't come back, on this Luoxiao Peak, we can hear it as long as the senior brother shouts."
"You go, I won't go." Yi Yan refused. He was not very good at speaking. He felt that the boy was kind, so he said it with a embarrassed expression, but it still made the boy unhappy. The boy stood up, said "It's so timid" and left without looking back.
The sunset slowly set, and the red clouds gradually turned white and dark, and finally merged into the vast sky and could no longer see clearly.
When the stars were everywhere, Wang Su and the third senior brother came out. Yi Yan could not see anything from their expressions and eyes, but saw the third senior brother looking at him and said, "I heard from fellow Taoist Wang that you are going to Mr. Shao Mu's place."
Yi Yan didn't know what Wang Su and him said, and there was nothing to hide. He heard the title of Mr. Shao Mu for the first time, but he guessed that it should refer to Mr. Lin, so he said, "That was an opportunity that my father asked for for me before his death."
"Fellow Daoist Wang has told me about your affairs. We all think you may not be suitable for you." After the third senior brother said that, he looked at Yi Yan, and Yi Yan looked at Wang Su in panic. Wang Su had no expression on his face, but nodded and said, "It's not suitable for you."
This is the first time I learned from Wang Su that he has such thoughts.
Senior Brother Third said, "Do you know who Mr. Shao Mu is?"
Yi Yan shook his head.
"That young man Mu first used the title of folk to be the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, a second-rank official of the dynasty, prominent and noble. However, in the eyes of our cultivators, he was a supernatural cultivator who had born in the purple palace and made golden elixirs, and there were not many people in the Qing Dynasty. There were many famous children around him, all of whom were seeking spirits and eating evil spirits. If you go there, you may not even see his face, and you will eventually become a traitor."
Yi Yan is no longer a person who knows nothing about the realm of practice. He knows that most people who practice now follow the realm of the "Miaomen Wanhua Spirit Searching True Sutra". Some people eat evil first, then search for spirits, and some people search for spirits first and then eat evil. And from the teacher Liu Chunfeng, it would be great if they could find spirits under the guidance of Mr. Lin.
He was a little panicked. He gave up the opportunity to study at Bailudong Academy. He chose to go to Yunnan not only alone, but also with the wishes of the family and his future. But before he arrived, he had heard such unfavorable news, and his heart was pounding.
He didn't know what to do, and the third senior brother continued: "A person's personality determines his destiny. Although his personality changes with experience, if he can choose according to his personality from the beginning, his future achievements will be much smoother."
"You have also studied in Mr. Chunfeng's academy, and you should understand what I mean. Your personality is timid and quick, kind and patient, and can be quiet. This personality is not suitable for keeping it beside Mr. Lin, but it is suitable for practicing in this mountain."
After the third senior brother finished speaking, he smiled at Yi Yan. How could Yi Yan not know what the third senior brother meant at this time? Looking at Wang Su, Wang Su nodded and said, "Master Lin is the third disciple of Luo Xiao Sect. He has a profound Taoist practice. If you want, Master Lin can accept you as Luo Xiao's disciple."
Yi Yan knew from Wang Su's words that he had to agree, and he also thought it was not suitable for him to go to Lin Gong.
The most difficult choice is the crossroads between turns. Just like the choices at home, this once again reached the intersection that determines his fate.
Wang Su and the third senior brother, Master Lin, were watching. Yi Yan didn't know what to do for a moment and was difficult to make a choice, but he blurted out a word.
"If my father is not alive, if he enters Luoxiao and becomes a monk and practices, he must ask his mother for his intention."
As soon as Yi Yan said, the third senior brother first showed regret on his face, and soon laughed: "Although Luo Xiao has the rules, he has no intention of forcing it."
After saying that, he stopped talking about accepting him as his disciple, and instead said to Wang Su: "Since Fellow Daoist Wang insists on rushing back, I am the landlord of these green mountains, so I will send you a ride."
Yi Yan was still thinking about what the third senior brother said, whether he would not force himself to be a disciple of Luo Xiao, or to force the disciples in the sect to abide by the rules. When he heard the third senior brother said he would send them out of these green mountains, he looked at him, but he saw that he was looking at him, with no things in his eyes, but he still smiled and said, "But you still have to learn something to leave."
The third senior brother looked at Yi Yan and said, "Here I can let Luo Xiaoshan's spiritual power send you out of the mountain, but you need to understand the technique of escaping the air."
"Spell?"
"Yes, spell." said the third senior brother.
"I, I don't know. I have never practiced it before. Without magic power, how could I learn magic?" Yi Yan said hurriedly.
"Haha, you have it. If you have spiritual power, you can naturally learn magic." The third senior brother said: "Sometimes you can't learn magic after a few years, and some can be penetrated with just a thought. What's more, if you learn Luoxiao spells in my Luoxiao Mountain Middle School, you will naturally learn it as long as you learn it with your heart."
Yi Yan knew that he had spiritual power, but he never felt it. He was worried that in addition to raising his spiritual power, he was also worried that he would not be able to learn it, especially because he heard that some people could understand it in one thought.
He thinks he is not a smart person and it takes a long time to think about many things.
The third senior brother said again: "I guess it is mainly to understand what happened to your father. Since you are going to go to Lin Gong, I will pass on you to the method of entering the void."
Yi Yan approached nervously, and the third senior brother attached to Yi Yan's ear.
Yi Yan only heard the sound of the wind passing through the cave and the third senior brother said: "Concentrate and calm your mind and trample on the air."
Although the sound was a little blurry, it was like life entering his body and existed in the faint feeling of thought.
Yi Yan was surprised and a little confused, thinking to himself: "Why is this so simple? Is this a Taoist mantra?"
"Did you hear it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly." Yi Yan nodded hesitantly, not confident. He was afraid that he would hear it wrong or that he had not heard it.
"But..." Yi Yan wanted to say again, but the third senior brother stopped him and said, "Don't doubt what you hear. Practicing magic taught by others is the first priority. Then you will realize that only by believing in the Dharma can you produce the Dharma. What I passed on to you is Luo Xiao magic. If you believe it, you can walk in the void. If you don't believe it, it will be just an empty word. If you can learn magic from heaven and earth in the future, you will naturally know that everything we practice is in this heaven and earth."
"You are going to go to Mr. Lin, so I will give you four words. 'Be careful and patient.' This is what you should be able to do. Now..." He smiled and said, "What you have to do is to practice the technique of rushing to the air."
Yi Yan knew that he was doing his own good and even claimed thanks, but he didn't know what to call him.
At this time, Wang Su said, "Master Lin teaches you Luo Xiao's magic, can you call him the third senior brother."
The third senior brother just smiled and let Yi Yan call him the third senior brother before urging him to practice the method of rushing to the air.
Although Yi Yan did not worship Luo Xiao, he actually obtained the magic of Luo Xiao, and it was normal to call him "Senior Brother Third".
After listening to the third senior brother's urging, Yi Yan came to the open space on one side to concentrate and imagined that the void was a real piece of land that could withstand the gravity of people. However, he raised his foot and put it down. One foot stood sore and numb, and the other foot kept stepping on the void. After a long time, he still felt nothing.
He felt more and more panic in his heart, and he didn't hear any sound behind him. Just when he wanted to give up, the third senior brother's voice came from behind him, and he only heard him say, "Close your eyes and think about the spell I told you."
Yi Yan closed his eyes as he was, but he was scared because he was panicked at this moment, without any mysterious feeling. He thought that he could not practice this spell, and he might not be able to practice it in a year, let alone in this short period of time.
Despite this, he still closed his eyes and thought about the sentence "Concentrate and calm, walk in the air like the ground", and recited silently, over and over again. He originally thought this was still useless, but when he recited it for the seventh time, he seemed to feel a warm current appearing in his body, slowly spreading.
There was a change in his body, and he was surprised and did not dare to open his eyes, for fear that this strange place would disappear. He still recited it over and over again, and the warm current became more and more intense and clearer. He surged from the deepest part of his body and scattered among his limbs and bones. His feet were trampling in exchange, and at this time he felt a little different. His feet seemed to be stepping on water, without the coolness of water, but with the buoyancy of water.
The faint power of support made him feel happy. He stepped on one foot, gently, and stepped on it. The feeling of air flow under his feet condensing and supporting his feet became more and more obvious. At the same time, he felt like he was appearing in the water. The air had buoyancy, which made him float a little. His hands waved like in the water, controlling the balance of his body. Under his feet, he tried hard to sense the focus point in the air. When he stepped on it, the feeling under his feet changed, like a wire mesh, which broke and dissipated with just a little force.
He groped and sensed,
He didn't feel tired either. He himself didn't know how long it took. He recited the words that seemed, but not the mantra in his mouth. Finally, his right foot stepped on it, and the soft air of nothingness held his body and stood up. Although it was not high, he knew that he had succeeded.
