Chapter 379 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 50
Official career?
Jia Lang knew about merit, but it was the first time he heard of official luck. Just by thinking about the word, he understood that the so-called official luck should be similar to the national luck and the imperial destiny. The emperor has the national luck on him, and ordinary cultivators and even evil spirits cannot easily get close to him.
Therefore, the meaning of this official luck should be similar. There is a legend in ancient times about Bao Zheng trying wronged souls. Officials who protect one side must also have the effect of deterring villains.
In this way, the origin of his merits and virtues was revealed. It seemed that he had made the right choice in this life by choosing the path of imperial examination and officialdom. The higher his official rank, the more merits and virtues he would bear for the people.
After figuring it out, Jia Lang was very happy. To be honest, choosing the path of merit was a helpless move for Jia Lang. After all, how could a soul-calling bird that feeds on souls really become a kind-hearted person with great righteousness in mind?
Now that I know that there are more ways to gain merit than just being a good person and doing good deeds, but that I can also do good in a broad sense, this is much more comfortable than being a saint.
If one practices the method of merit to the end, one can become a saint. The so-called sainthood requires one to absorb the power of merit to replace all souls. It is like painting, dyeing the original transparent soul with gold little by little, and finally becoming a golden saint of merit.
First start from the internal organs, cultivate the heart of merit, which corresponds to the foundation, then go to the other organs, cultivate the five organs of merit, which corresponds to the golden elixir, then the meridians, which corresponds to the primordial infant, then the bones, which corresponds to the spirit, then the muscles, which corresponds to the out-of-body experience, and finally the skin, which corresponds to the Mahayana.
There are six stages in total, and no matter when, the heart of merit is the core of the entire cultivation. In other words, as long as Jia Lang's heart of merit is still there, he will not die at any time. At most, he will return to the foundation building and start from the beginning.
After leaving Liu Xianglian, Jia Lang went on his own, and even had more time to practice meditation. Now Jia Lang has successfully found the golden thread of merit from the many causal threads in his body. Although it is very slow to absorb, the heart of his soul has already turned light golden.
Now Jia Lang is still far from cultivating virtue. Out of concern that Jia Lang intends to hide the light of merit in himself, the monk and the Taoist retreated today, but it does not mean that other immortals and ghosts will give up. As long as they think of the fact that there is a fairy Jinghuan in the world of "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Lang has to be on guard.
But how can one hide it? There is no such method of cultivation in the jade slip, so Jia Lang can only figure it out on his own.
Why not try the energy of creation? No matter which world the stone that can mend the sky is from, it cannot be a simple stone, so the energy of creation hidden in it cannot be a simple thing.
Although the little bit of the energy of heaven and earth that he had quietly absorbed was small, the effect was significant. He just didn't know how to use it, so he had to hide it in his mental power.
Now that Jia Lang has officially embarked on the journey of cultivation, he has come to know that his racial innate skills are actually a kind of method that spiritual consciousness should have, and the so-called mental power is just another name for spiritual consciousness.
During this period of time, I have used my spiritual sense to inquire about the surrounding environment many times. Not to mention the time when I eavesdropped on the conversation between the monk and the Taoist priest, even when I went to the Taixu Illusion Realm to steal the residence of Fairy Jinghuan, I was not discovered. I think it has something to do with the energy of creation of heaven and earth.
In this case, why not try to move the excess energy of heaven and earth into the heart?
Jia Lang did it as soon as he thought of it. He closed his eyes on the spot and devoted himself to the control of his consciousness. Through inner vision, he "forced" the excess energy of heaven and earth in his consciousness to flow along the meridians to the heart.
This process is difficult for ordinary cultivators. After all, inner vision and control require at least the Jindan stage of cultivation. But it is not too bad for Jia Lang. After all, the soul-summoning bird is born with the ability to use spiritual consciousness. Although it is a bit mentally taxing, Jia Lang finally succeeded.
As the energy of heaven and earth entered Jia Lang's heart of merit, just like a drop of color remover dropped into colored water, the heart that was originally filled with light golden gas suddenly became transparent again, as if it had never been cultivated.
Jia Lang felt carefully that his cultivation was still there, and he could even faintly sense a breath of life. It seemed that his assumption was correct, this life-creating energy was really a good thing. After Jia Baoyu became a monk, he would definitely absorb all the spiritual jade. By then, even if Fairy Jinghuan found out, he wouldn't have to be afraid of her.
Everything is going smoothly on Jia Lang's side, while the stories of several protagonists in the Jia Mansion are still unfolding.
Jia Huan reported Jia Baoyu's behavior to the second master Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng was a good-looking man, but after learning about this, he felt that Jia Baoyu was useless, especially when Jia Lang had already become a juren. Seeing that Jia Baoyu was still ignorant and lustful, Jia Zheng was completely furious.
The fathers in the Jia family did not know how to teach their sons. All they knew was to scold them. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that Jia Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng.
Jia Baoyu was beaten and had to stay in the mansion to recuperate. Late at night, Xue Baochai went to visit Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu dreamed that Lin Daiyu came to see him. At night, he gave a handkerchief to Lin Daiyu to test her, and Lin Daiyu wrote a poem on the handkerchief.
Xiren ran to tell Lady Wang about her worries about Baoyu, and Lady Wang appreciated it and promised her a concubine. But after Xiren left, the second wife learned from the servants that Jia Baoyu's beating was related to Jia Huan, and she was immediately furious. Since Jia Lang came out of nowhere, the remaining illegitimate sons in the Jia family have received the attention of their biological fathers.
In order to win favor, Aunt Zhao forced Jia Huan to study hard. The Second Madam thought that Jia Huan was stupid and would not achieve anything, so she ignored him. But now she heard that Jia Huan dared to trip up Jia Baoyu, she laughed in anger.
It seems that the illegitimate son of the eldest wife has given the little bitch some thoughts!
Not long after, Jia Huan suddenly fainted. Aunt Zhao called the court doctor to see him but to no avail. She cried and went to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng took the note and invited the imperial physician to come, but Jia Huan's illness was strange and the imperial physicians could not see what was wrong.
As the days passed, Jia Huan still showed no improvement. Aunt Zhao cried until her eyes were almost blind. Jia Tanchun was worried, but she didn't dare to show it. She had been raised in the courtyard of the second wife since she was a child, and she relied on not getting along with her biological mother to avoid the second wife's malice.
However, as she grew older, Jia Tanchun gradually saw through the Second Wife's character. When she saw that the Second Wife reacted inappropriately to Jia Huan's serious illness, she immediately realized that there might be some hidden story behind it.
So Jia Tanchun deliberately found a day when Zhou Rui's wife came to the mansion, and under the pretext of paying her respects, she secretly hid outside the second wife's door and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two inside.
