Chapter 14 Taoism
()
When he woke up, it was already bright, and Xu Xian felt that his mind was as clear and open as the light, without any of the chaos that ordinary people experience when they first wake up.
He felt that the golden light in his heart was originally a little variegated, but now it had faded away and turned into pure gold. Although no one was there to guide him, he also understood that he should have gone one step further.
But he still couldn't tell what the use of this ball of light was. Xu Xian couldn't help but secretly guess that the Taoist priest who taught him this method was probably not a profound Taoist method. Although the name is nice, it's called "Xinghai Zhuanxilu", but it is placed in a martial arts novel.
I guess it's like "Iron Palm".
If Master Taiyin, who taught him his mind, knew this, and the thing he devoted his whole life to was treated as a common commodity like an iron palm, his Taoist heart would be shaken, and no matter what merits or deeds he had, it would directly trigger thunder from the sky.
He chopped Xu Xian alive.
However, if he saw Xu Xian's current situation, he would probably forget how to use the thunder-inducing technique. This is because Xu Xian's current state is really strange.
There are three thousand great avenues, and there are countless Taoist sects and dharma in the world. Their methods of practice are also different, and the names of different realms are also different. But if it is divided into general stages, they can probably be divided into "foundation building-refining Qi"
- Practicing Qi to transform into gods - Practicing gods to return to emptiness - Practicing to combine emptiness with Tao - Shattering emptiness" are these stages.
The method of Xingxiu Hai takes a different approach, completely abandoning the physical body and cultivating the soul. "Pointing Stars" corresponds to "building the foundation", and then completely abandons "refining essence to transform into qi" and starts to accumulate star power to "train qi to transform into spirit". But the inheritance
To borrow from heaven, there must be a great opportunity.
Because those who practice Taoism are all mortal bodies, and it is foolish to talk about attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The main way is to rely on the grains and grains you eat every day to refine the energy from your own body. This is the only way.
The right path is also extremely slow, all relying on a tenacity that can penetrate rocks.
Xu Xian is just such a person who has a great opportunity. Not only does he have a chance, but with his strange world view, he points to the sun that has never been seen before as the main star.
Originally, to refine the spirit and return it to the weak, one must first clear the mind and meditate, purify the soul, and cultivate the yin spirit. Then turn the yin and yang to form the yang spirit. The yin spirit is just like a ghost, and only the yang spirit is the method of gods. When gathered together, it takes shape.
, it transforms into Qi, and incarnates outside the body, truly breaking away from the shackles of the physical body.
If building the foundation is when a cultivator has just crossed the threshold, then the Yang God will enter the room, and the path of cultivation will truly begin.
Xu Xian's cultivation time is still short, and he was at the stage of Yin God at most, but the sun is the most yang thing in the world. Xu Xian, who relies on his pure soul to absorb the star power of the sun, is now a Yin God or a Yang God.
Even his master couldn't tell.
But Xu Xian doesn't understand the wonders of his current situation. Because he doesn't know how to use it, he is like a miser who can only save money but not spend it. He has a lot of wealth but doesn't know how to use it, so he just thinks that these are
Wealth only looks good.
If he had followed other methods and followed the path of refining Qi, Xu Xian might still be able to survive the addiction of a martial arts master, but Xingxiu Hai "cultivates the mind but not the body, and the mind but not the body".
It's something you have to throw away sooner or later, why practice it?" This kind of thinking.
Xu Xian, who doesn't know any method, can't taste much sweetness. It's just because of practicing this method that he can have a photographic memory and become a scholar. In his heart, he is always grateful for the Taoist's kindness. So he doesn't care about this method.
If there is any slack, do it as the most important thing every day. Only in a few years can you achieve the state of Yin Shen training and a clear mind.
The key to spiritual practice, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, is to look at the word "heart". If the mind is enlightened, it will naturally reach the heavens. If the mind is confused, no matter how hard it is, it can only go around in circles.
The sage has a saying: A virtuous person will return home with a basket of food and a ladle of drink. A person cannot bear the worries and will not change his happiness after returning. What he is talking about is that his disciple Yan Hui can still be as happy as before in a troubled life. But this is
It’s a state that even saints would praise. How many ordinary people can calm down in that situation?
The same is true for Xu Xian. Although his personality is free and easy, and his reincarnation is more casual, how can he not care about the poverty in his family? This kind of consideration is not obvious at first, but as his practice deepens
, gradually became a shackles.
The things needed to practice Taoism are nothing more than the four words "Dharma, wealth, companionship, and land".
"Dharma" means method, which is the so-called Dharma method. This is the premise, otherwise it would be useless to sit at home and think about it. This is what Xu Xian has already achieved, and it is the method he is practicing now.
The next best thing to Dharma is "wealth", which is still above love and earth. Just because people in the secular world, if they can't even eat, have to work hard for a living all day long and are restless, what they see when they look up will be despised by others.
I can't help but feel ashamed in my heart. I can't even calm down my mind. Talking about practicing Taoism is just a joke.
As for Xu Xian, she has no worries about food and clothing until today, and her only sister's life is settled. Putting aside the worries in her heart, she will naturally reach the Great Road to Heaven, which is so smooth.
Xu Xian turned around and saw that Pan Yu's bed was empty, and a quilt was folded neatly. At this time, the window sash was wide open, and the sun was shining in. It could be seen that the room had been cleaned, and a gilded incense burner was slowly burning on the green wood table.
Slowly blowing out a wisp of smoke.
Xu Xian lay peacefully on the bed under the early morning sunshine. The bed and quilt in the academy were much more comfortable than at home. Lying in this antique room, Xu Xian felt a bit like a time traveler.
"Who wakes up first from a big dream? I know myself in my life. I sleep well in the spring in the thatched cottage and sing late outside the window." Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh, "If Zhuge Wolong couldn't even eat and was busy making a living all day long, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such elegance."
All kinds of interesting things can only be understood after you have to be fed and clothed first."
"Good poem, good poem!" A voice of praise pulled Xu Xian out of his wild thoughts.
Pan Yu was holding a food box and looked at herself in admiration. Xu Xian smiled sheepishly and said, "This was chanted by a passing monk when I was a child. Don't tell anyone else."
Pan Yu smiled, but didn't mention it anymore. He put the food box on the table and opened it. "Come and have something to eat!" After saying this, Pan Yu arranged the food boxes layer by layer, but among them were some exquisite utensils.
Packed side dishes, porridge, and steamed buns.
Pan Yu took a small white porcelain bowl, filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Xu Xian. Holding the bowl, she couldn't tell which one was whiter and more delicate. Xu Xian took it and felt that it was really comfortable to have such a person serve him, but there was still such a
A little uneasy.
The two sat opposite each other, following the rule of eating without speaking, and ate in silence.
Xu Xian ate breakfast and felt at ease. He couldn't help but sigh: "Mingyu, you are such a good person!"
Pan Yuzheng was taking a sip of porridge and smiled when he heard this: "Last night I had to cut ties with others, but today I have become a good person. Brother Hanwen's thoughts are really unpredictable!"
Xu Xian's face turned red, but he couldn't express it. He just vaguely felt that the beautiful young man in front of him seemed to have returned to his usual calmness and calmness, and he was also very measured in his jokes. He felt a little sad in his heart for no reason.
After freshening up, I came outside the door and saw some people gathered in front of the screen wall in the square of the academy, talking among themselves.
Xu Xian walked up and took a look. On the wall was the list of yesterday's test. Xu Xian carefully found his name in the middle of the list, but Pan Yu didn't bother. It was because his name was at the top of the list. First place in the exam.
At this time, several students came forward, as if they were familiar with Pan Yu, and congratulated him one after another: "Brother Pan is indeed number one again, he deserves the title of the most talented person in Jiangnan!"
Pan Yulian said he didn't dare, so he naturally chatted with these people, and immediately became the core of this small group. While dealing with it, Pan Yu looked around, thinking about not neglecting Xu Xian, but saw him and his man named Wang An's fellow villagers gathered together and didn't notice what was happening here at all. They couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.
