As one of the important Taoist classics, the "Zhuangzi", also known as the "Nanhua Sutra", tells a story called "Ku Ding Jie Niu".

Here's what it says:

"According to the principles of heaven, criticize Da Hao and guide Da Hip, because it is certain. ”

Then Wen Huijun said: "Good! I heard the words of Ku Ding, and I have to maintain my health." ”

Why do you know how to maintain health when you hear this?

Because "according to the principles of heaven, because of its nature." ”

Borrowing from Ku Ding's theory of solving the cow, from the perspective of cultivation, the human body can be divided into three parts:

Viscera;

Skeleton;

Skin.

Some people say that there is also a head?

The head is the superstructure, and before advancing to the Heavenly Level, it has little to do with cultivation, anyway, the improvement of the foundation of any part is beneficial to the superstructure.

Among the three basic parts, the viscera is the core, the bones are the framework, and the skin, including muscles, is filled.

Its importance is also decreasing.

It's not that the last one is not important, in fact, any part of the body is important, but if you talk about cultivation, there must be a first to last, which is also what Zhuangzi said by herding "Criticize the big hip, guide the big hip, because it is of course." ”

Cultivating indiscriminately without knowing the order, without knowing the core, the framework, and the three major structures that fill the human body, is like taking a knife and slashing at the body of a cow.

Can indiscriminate chopping solve the cow?

Yes!

But this is Gua Wazi, a blind man doing things.

In the first life, despite the guidance of the Heavenly Mirror, on some levels, Xu Guangling was still a blind man.

In the second life, the big system has been established, and he already knows everything about the sequence, the core, the framework, and the filling, but in terms of actual practice, Xu Guangling is still in a process of groping, and he is not a blind man doing things, but he still stumbles.

I stumbled because there were still a lot of ditches and bumps on the road that I didn't figure out.

It's like fooling yourself to the point where you feel like you're in the middle of your life.

And when he came to this third life, in the basic stage of cultivation, Xu Guangling was basically a leisurely stroll.

Stroll as much as you want.

At this time, since the exercises have been deduced, and a set of clothes that can be covered from the big guy has been borrowed, then the brocade night walking procedure can be started.

In the early morning, the morning sun has not risen, and the dew is still hanging on the body of the fallen leaves.

The cold is still very cold.

But after going through the cultivation of the foundation stage in the Ning Yuan Realm, to put it bluntly, minus forty degrees and minus forty degrees are the same for Ye Xiaoye's current body.

It doesn't feel any different.

It's all the same warm as spring, or cool as autumn.

To put it more bluntly, as long as it does not exceed the limit, his feeling temperature is basically locked at 18-24 degrees like an ordinary person.

So at this time, Ye Xiaoye sat on the edge of the small stone platform in the courtyard without any scruples.

A certain kind of deserved cold will hit the body, but it seems to be a spring breeze.

And for the whole body, what is really blowing here is not the spring breeze, but the aura.

In the middle of the small stone platform, only one meter away, where the spring water bubbled slightly, was the spiritual eye, and the extremely thick spiritual energy followed the spring water from the inside to the outside.

The spring water is just bubbling and flowing, but the aura can be described as erupting.

Of course, no matter how it erupts, because of its nature, it is also gentle, and it is extremely gentle.

For example, the extremely fine rain threads, more like thousands of rays of light, are centered on this small stone platform, spraying towards the entire courtyard and even the outside.

Ye Xiaoye is like sitting under the shower.

The aura was like water and mist, spraying on his back.

Unlike the real water and mist, under the effect of the exercises, this aura seeped into his body without hindrance.

Infiltration does not mean that it stays in the body.

The back seeps in, and the front seeps out.

If you still stay in the Ning Yuan Realm, it is basically a bamboo basket to draw water.

Although no matter how you fight, it will be empty, but the bamboo basket will be wet, and the aura will remain on the bamboo basket.

What is a "bamboo basket"?

It is the skeletal structure of the human body.

In this way, the efficiency of cultivation is naturally relatively low, and it is quite low.

And even if the whole is low, this low middle is still divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Different people, the "bamboo basket" is different, some are easy to seep into the water, and the extreme point is not a drop of water.

In the early stage, the so-called innate endowment in cultivation mostly refers to this "bamboo basket".

Being able to fetch water with a bamboo basket is already a welfare of this world, whether it is the previous life or the first life on the earth, it is impossible to do this, because the body is directly isolated from the aura.

You have to get through that isolation before you can fetch water!

Before meeting Xu Guangling, the two old men had been connected for a lifetime, but they couldn't really get through that kind of isolation.

To put it simply, all my life has been wandering outside the gate, and I can't enter the door.

This is also the general situation in the spiritual world on Earth.

If it had a "spiritual world".

And in this life, even if the qualifications are very poor, as long as you come into contact with the exercises and start practicing, from the first day of practice, you have officially started to draw water with a bamboo basket.

This is the Ning Yuan Realm.

And from the Ning Yuan Realm to the Entrance Realm, it was like a small bowl being put into a bamboo basket.

The so-called "entrance" is the bowl.

Of course, this description is actually incorrect, the bowl is not put in, but the bamboo basket has been moistened by the aura for a long time, and then at the bottom of the bamboo basket or somewhere, a small seedling sprouts and grows, that is, the "bowl".

Small seedlings come out, and the entrance becomes.

When the aura enters the body from the outside world, it is no longer a hula coming and going, leaving only a little bit to hang on the bamboo basket, but a part of it will be absorbed by the seedlings.

In other words, stay in that bowl.

At this time, the so-called quality and evaluation factors are different.

The bamboo basket has become the background, the advantages and disadvantages of the bamboo basket are no longer important, its influence has been greatly reduced, and now it is the bowl that affects the practice.

Some bowls are large and empty, while others are not only small, but also semi-solid, or contain other things (impurities).

Ye Xiaoye's body, in the bamboo basket stage, if you use 1-10 to score, 1 is the lowest, 10 is the highest, then he is basically between 1 and 2.

It's miserable.

In his previous life, even if his physical qualifications were not good, it was much better than this!

If there is no great grandmaster's height to guide his cultivation, then his little body doesn't know how many more years of cultivation it will take to cross the Ning Yuan Realm, anyway, ten years is enough.

If you don't get it right, Chinese New Year's Eve years may not be enough.

That's really even the daylily that cooled early.

And after entering the entrance realm from the Ning Yuan Realm, that is, from the bamboo basket stage to the small bowl (seedling) stage, Ye Xiaoye's qualifications for the new stage have finally risen from 1 to 2 to 2 to 3.

It's still low, it's pretty low, but it's finally a notch higher than before.

This is also the characteristic that the Absolute Spirit Immortal Sea has given to this small body of him.

That is, it was very good at the beginning, and after coming from the land of the absolute spirit to the land of the outside world, the situation will gradually get better and better.

Don't rush to rejoice just yet!

Because even if you are good in the end, you may not be as good as those with top qualifications.

Not even the top qualifications, you may not even be able to compare with those ordinary level excellence!

Of course, the final outcome is unknown.

Just like a flower that is slowly blooming, each time a bud opens, the color of the inner layer changes. As for what color the last layer is, it is not known until this flower has fully bloomed.

And it's constantly changing!

In other words, even if you cut it open with a knife now, you can only see the color of the outermost layer, and there is no color in it.

It hasn't been generated at all!

In the process of this flower slowly blooming, whether it is exercises, comprehension, or the aura environment of the outside world, etc., it will cause different degrees of influence.

In a sense, it's a game about development.

And this, for a great grandmaster, is exactly the best trick!
