Chapter 187 Strong Wind
After watching Shi Zelan practice on paper, Master Shanzheng went to the backyard with her to set up the formation.
Out of curiosity, Master Decheng also went to the backyard to watch what the master and his disciples were doing. The more he watched, the more interesting he found it.
After Master Shanzheng and his disciples set up the formation, he took the initiative to walk inside the formation.
After Master Decheng entered the formation, he felt more and more how wonderful this formation was.
Master Decheng avoided the correct path again and again in the formation, and Master Shanzheng and Shi Zelan, who were standing by, became a little anxious.
Shanzheng Zhenren said to Shi Zelan: "What you learn from books is shallow. You must practice it yourself to know it thoroughly. After your uncle leaves, I will go in and take a look."
After a stick of incense, Master Decheng finally took the right step, but he then went down the wrong path again.
Shi Zelan thought while watching, and then said to Master Shanzheng beside him: "Master, why did I dream about the formation?
Master, did you come into my dream to teach me the formation? ”
"Ha, ha, ha, you wishful thinking, I also need to practice at night.
Do you think it could be that your father is thinking of you and trying to find a way to enter your dream to teach you?
Among us fellow disciples, only your father likes to study formations. You are like him in this respect. You are willing to take the initiative to learn everything. ”
Shi Zelan listened to his words and thought about it seriously: "I don't feel the smell of my father?"
"Can you still remember the smell of your father?"
"Master, I'm talking about a feeling."
After Master Decheng came out of the battle formation, he said to Master Shanzheng and his disciples, "If you make a mistake with this battle formation, you will get lost."
"Brother, you just watch from the side. I'll walk around the formation first."
Master Shanzheng entered the formation. At first, every step he took was on the right track. But after he turned a wrong corner later, every step he took was wrong. Then, after a few wrong turns, he turned in the right direction again.
He spent less time than Master Decheng. After he left the formation, he said to Master Decheng, "The person who designed this formation had an extremely ingenious mind."
Shi Zelan said to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng: "Uncle Master, Master, if I can't get out for too long, please pull me out of the formation."
"Go ahead. You haven't even left yet, but you should think about your way out first."
Master Decheng waved to Shi Zelan: "Go in quickly, I'll ask Xiaoliu to come and take a walk later."
Shi Zelan entered the formation with great confidence. She had practiced how to leave the formation in her dreams and on paper.
After Shi Zelan entered, she chose what she thought was the correct direction, took a step forward, and encountered a fog array. She was immediately shocked.
The formation she walked through in her dream didn’t have so much fog, so she waved her hands forward vigorously.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were watching her, and they both said at the same time: "The formation has changed."
Shi Zelan in the formation also felt the changes. She calmed down and walked forward with her eyes closed. When she encountered an obstacle, she opened her eyes, turned around, and then closed her eyes to continue walking forward until she reached the end.
Shi Zelan left the formation, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu entered. In the afternoon, Master Qiyuan's brothers came back for a rare visit and also entered the formation.
At night, everyone sat under the eaves in the front yard, and Master Decheng concluded: "This formation changes every three times. If you encounter this kind of formation in the future, you can't rush into it, you can only be patient and move forward step by step."
Qi Yuan Zhenren asked curiously: "Where did you get the formation diagram?"
Shan Zheng Zhenren sighed and said, "Sister Lan got the formation diagram in her dream, and she copied it and drew it. I will set up the formation in the backyard and try it out."
Master Qicheng looked at Shi Zelan in amazement: "Sister Lan, you should have such a beautiful dream more often."
Shi Zelan listened to his words, smiled and nodded, saying: "Thanks to Master Uncle's good words, I may be able to break the formation in my dream tonight."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan enviously: "Sister Lan, I will meditate outside your room tonight."
Xia Yu looked back and forth at them: "Then I'll accompany Xiaoliu. The weather is so cold, let's move the fire over here."
Shi Zelan waved at them: "Thank you for helping me guard the door, but it's not necessary."
True Man Decheng and True Man Shanzheng were concerned about the affairs of the temple, and asked True Man Qiyuan and his brother, "Is everything fine in the temple on the mountain?"
Qi Yuan Zhenren sighed: "In the front yard, the monks' residences have a peaceful atmosphere. Only the atmosphere around the guest house is a bit hazy. No wonder the head monk felt something was wrong here."
After hearing this, Master Decheng was puzzled and asked, "That phantom is so powerful. How could it not damage his vitality even after being driven away again and again?"
Master Qicheng shook his head at Master Decheng and said, “We have been here for a few days and we just feel a little irritated, but we still can’t find any reason.
We are all so restless and irritable. When ordinary people come to stay in the temple for a short time, I am afraid that they are not here to cultivate their minds and characters, but to temper their characters. ”
Master Decheng was curious: "I will go up the mountain with you tomorrow and stay there for a few days."
After hearing what Master Decheng said, Master Qiyuan and his brother both breathed a sigh of relief: "We originally wanted to ask you to take turns living on the mountain and help us investigate the cause."
"You guys check the cause first. If you need me, just send me a message."
On the second day, the Qiyuan brothers and Decheng went to the temple on the mountain, while Shanzheng took the three juniors to the backyard to continue perfecting the formation.
After going up the mountain, Master Decheng went to pay a visit to the abbot and expressed his wish to stay in the guesthouse on the mountain for a few days.
The great monk naturally expressed his welcome. He said to Qi Yuan Zhenren: "Donor Xia, you are traveling to the capital. In fact, our temple is also very lively during the New Year."
Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and said, "We just want the quietness of the temple. During the New Year, we'll see if the children want to go up the mountain to enjoy the scenery."
The great monk escorted Qi Yuan Zhenren and his party out of the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Donor Xia, is there anything I can help you with?"
Qi Yuan Zhenren turned his head and glanced at him: "During the New Year, are there many people staying in the temple guest house?"
“There are more people this year, and the old lady’s family has given money for incense and offerings, and the old lady wants to celebrate the New Year in the temple.
There are also a few scholars living in the small courtyard on the side. Apart from the sounds of reading, the place is very quiet at other times. ”
Qi Yuan Zhenren nodded and said, "We have been to the side yard. The sound of reading aloud there is really refreshing."
The big monk calmed down a lot, and stood at the gate of the courtyard watching the brothers Qiyuan and Decheng go to the guest house.
The monk in charge of reception came over and whispered to the head monk, "Master, the old lady said she wanted to burn two sticks of incense for her deceased parents."
The head monk looked at him and said, "You can decide this matter."
"Good." The monk in charge of reception thought for a moment and said to the head monk, "I see that the old lady is getting much healthier, but the old servant beside her is getting a little weaker."
"The wind is strong and the air is cold on the mountain. The old man is always thinking about his master, so he looks a little tired."
