Text Chapter 481 Three Thousand Avenues, Different Paths to the Same End
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
"Before I talk about it, I'll test you a little. Looking at the pair of hot eyes around him, Xia Haoran coughed lightly and said, "Usually, we will say that people have three treasures, which ones are they?"
"Spirit, spirit, spirit!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Exactly!"
Xia Haoran nodded slightly and said, "Essence, qi, and god are concepts in ancient philosophy, which refer to the primordial matter that forms all things in the universe. Our ancient Chinese medicine believed that essence, qi and spirit are the foundation of the human body's vital activities. ”
Qi is the driving force in our human body, the normal activities of all organs in the human body, for example, why does blood circulate and flow in the human body? As for God, this thing is a bit mysterious, but it can be understood in the abstract that God is the supreme commander of all the life activities of our human body. ”
After speaking, Xia Haoran paused slightly, he wanted to give these people a digestion process.
"What is practice?"
Xia Haoran asked and replied to himself: "Cultivation is equal to regulation. Through the constant repetition of certain means and methods, we constantly correct the characteristics of our own life. As a result, our thinking, psychology, behavior, and social activities have reached a higher level, a broader mind, and a wider vision of personal cultivation than at this stage. ”
Therefore, it is recorded in the "Sufi Sutra Commentary" that there are different ways of practice, which can be divided into three types: physical practice, magic practice and spiritual practice. ”
"Physical practice, which is what we usually call physical cultivation, such as those who are masters of foreign horizontal training, magic practice, that is, Dharma cultivation, which focuses on vitality and spells, and spiritual practice, just like those who have spiritual abilities in the Western world, who specialize in the soul. The body, the dharma, and the spirit correspond to the three jewels of 'essence, qi, and spirit' that we mentioned earlier. ”
"There are three thousand avenues, and different paths lead to the same end. At the beginning of cultivation, we often choose one or the other. But as you ascend to the realm of cultivation, you will gradually find that the later we go, the more we need to consider in the process of cultivation, we have to take into account not only the accumulation of vitality and the improvement of the state of mind, but also the quality of the body and the improvement of the soul...... There are many more factors, of course. ”
"The essence, qi, and spirit are mutually breeding and promoting each other, and the relationship between them is very close. And it's the same with our practice. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Haoran glanced at Ye Shanhe and continued: "When the realm breaks through to the Heavenly Level, there is a certain probability that spiritual power will be generated. And the strength of your spiritual power directly determines how far you can go on the path of cultivation in the future. As for the physical body, you don't feel anything for the time being, but I think you've all watched the TV series. This is the bucket versus water theory. With the ascension of the realm, when the vitality in the body reaches a certain amount of accumulation, the weak body cannot withstand the squeeze of the vitality in the body, and the only result in the end is to explode and die. ”
"Well, I've said enough today. You should just listen to my story and don't pay too much attention to it, otherwise it will have some unnecessary impact on your future practice. ”
After Xia Haoran finished speaking, a bottle of mineral water suddenly appeared in his hand, and he flicked off the cork and drank it.
"By the way, Brother Ye, there is one thing you need to pay special attention to!" Xia Haoran seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head to Ye Shanhe and said seriously: "You can cultivate if your body is injured, and you can cultivate back when your vitality is depleted, but if your spiritual power is damaged, there is no good way to recover at present, only to let time slowly recuperate." ”
"Yes, thank you Brother Haoran for reminding me, I will be cautious. Ye Shanhe responded seriously.
As a Heavenly Rank Great Cultivator, Ye Shanhe was not stupid at all. He listened carefully to every word that Xia Haoran said just now, but then he hurriedly asked, "Brother Haoran, what did you ...... just now?"
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a while. Xia Haoran waved his hand and said, "By the way, is there an aerial picture?" is the picture of the big array at the bottom of the sinkhole?"
"Yes!"
Ma Zhe hurriedly answered, and then immediately pulled out a stack of photos and a laptop from the bag he was carrying.
"Brother Haoran, some of these photos were taken from the air, and some of them were taken after I came here. You take a look first. With that, Ma Zhe hurriedly handed the photo in his hand to Xia Haoran.
Xia Haoran took the picture casually and looked down.
After a while, he had already roughly looked at all the photos, Xia Haoran couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, and casually returned the photos in his hand to Ma Zhe.
"Brother Haoran, what have you discovered?" Ye Shanhe next to him hurriedly asked.
Xia Haoran rubbed his sideburns vigorously with both hands, and said, "Do you still remember the smooth mirror-like platform on the top of the mountain of the nameless island overseas? If I am not mistaken, the sinkhole presented in front of us has a similar situation there, and it was also annihilated by the attack power released by the touch of the formation rune. ”
Ye Shanhe's face tightened, and a picture seemed to appear in his mind. A huge pillar of light golden light suddenly appeared in the picture, shooting straight into the sky like a tornado, instantly vaporizing and vaporizing the mountain above, leaving behind a huge crater.
Thinking of this, Ye Shanhe couldn't help but tense up, and he was stunned. Because of that scene, that shot is too terrifying and terrifying.
"Don't worry. Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the attack power released by the current large array in the pit that has been triggered has probably not even exerted one percent. ”
"If nothing else, this should be somewhat similar to the situation we have seen on the nameless islands overseas, and because the aura of heaven and earth is thin, coupled with the long years, the power contained in the great array has been greatly weakened and consumed. Otherwise, with such a huge array rune, as long as it fluctuates slightly, it would be trivial to say that it would be annihilated within a radius of a few kilometers. ”
"Then, Brother Haoran, what do you mean......" Ye Shanhe looked at Xia Haoran inquiringly.
"Judging from my previous temptations, this large array has a lot of aggressiveness. Xia Haoran pondered for a while and said: "It can be seen that the people who set up the formation at the beginning obviously had certain warnings and admonitions for future generations. This shows that behind this great array, there must be something very remarkable, and I am now more and more interested in it. ”
"And judging from these formations and runes, they have indeed existed for an endless period of time, and it is very likely that they are still left over from ancient times. However, we still have to do a lot of preparation. This kind of formation pattern obviously belongs to the type of sealing, suppression, trapping and bondage, which shows that the person who set up the formation was to seal something. Endless years have passed now, but who can guarantee that the things sealed below are dead or not?"
"Huh?"
"Won't it?"
"Who can live forever?"
……
After listening to Xia Haoran's words, everyone was stunned one by one. After all, what Xia Haoran said was too mysterious, what species could live so long?
Xia Haoran coughed lightly, rolled his eyes as he watched everyone, and said angrily: "What, are you surprised by this?"
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "Except for Brother Ma Zhe, everyone here is a cultivator, and even you yourself are existences that cannot be explained by science, so in your future actions and tasks, you must not look at the problem from any scientific or secular perspective." ”
"The aging and death of the human body boils down to the aging and death of cells. As cultivators, what we strengthen is the cells, and what we refine is the bones, and you can feel that every muscle and bone in your body is several times or dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary people? In this way, what is so strange about you living seven or eight years longer than ordinary people?"
"Just like I once told you, what are we cultivating for? It is our duty to protect our family and defend the country, but the pursuit of strength and endless longevity is our goal. No one said that in the past, it was just that their cultivation was not up to standard, and that's it. For example, under normal circumstances, if an ordinary person can live to be 100 years old, it is already considered a destiny, while a Heaven Rank cultivator can live to be at least 12 to 150 years old, and the maximum can not exceed 2 or more 100 years old. The above is followed by analogy. ”
"What is the problem with those ancient powers, all of them have the ability to reach the heavens, and live for an extra hundred and eighty thousand years?" Xia Haoran smiled slightly: "In addition, you should have heard of a proverb: thousand-year-old turtle and ten-thousand-year-old turtle." This is a real example of what we are all around!"
After another burst of chatter, Xia Haoran waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to see the formation." Brother Ye, and Senior Zhang, you and your brothers should retreat a certain distance, at least two thousand meters away. Because I can't guarantee what will happen after touching the formation again in a while. ”
Hearing Xia Haoran's order, Ye Shanhe's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "This is no problem! However, Brother Haoran, what about your own security? You must know that the formation runes in the pit are extremely aggressive, so you must not be careless!"
Xia Haoran responded: "Brother Ye, don't worry. You should know my methods, if you run away at a critical moment, there will be no problem at all. ”
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "This big array is not simple. Although it has been a long time ago, the lack of spiritual energy in this piece of heaven and earth has caused the formation patterns and runes in the great array to not be replenished with any energy, and there is not much power left. However, if I want to crack it, it will take some work, and I will have to deduce it well. Remember: you can watch from a distance, but no one can come and disturb me!"
"No problem!"
Ye Shanhe nodded affirmatively.
