Chapter 28: The Twelve Proverbs
Sitting at the table in the hall surrounded by seven rooms on the first floor of the Seventy-Six Pavilion, he was thinking about which room to go to get a book to read, or to wait for Su Shi here? But Su Shi's immediate arrival made him not have to worry about these two choices. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Forgetfulness got up and shouted hello master, Su Shi motioned for him to continue sitting, and also paced over and sat down opposite Forgetfulness.
"Start your official monastic path today. Of course, there are some things that still have to be explained. Su Shi whispered, his tone was a little heavier when he said "explain", and he sat upright, thinking that he had to listen carefully word for word.
"First of all, you have to understand the difference between the cultivation of the immortal gate and the worldly martial arts." Su Shi immediately threw out a question that made Forgetfulness think deeply, Su Shi looked at Forgetfulness's inexplicable appearance, and continued, "From a one-sided point of view, there is no difference between the two, the qi they cultivate, we also cultivate qi, but our qi is aura, and they are more breath or qi. ”
"Master, do you mean to say that aura is more powerful than breath?" Forgetfulness asked, Su Shi glanced at him appreciatively, and his sideburns were not as serious.
"You're not right to say that. Whether it is powerful or not is never about what you carry, it will always only depend on how to use it. There are also people in the worldly martial arts who are unmatched in blood and blood, and the people of the immortal gate are not willing to touch it easily. But that's just a few. The biggest difference between aura and aura is that you will understand it as soon as I put it another way. Su Shi paused and continued, "The worldly longevity is a hundred years, and the people in the Xianmen are not without accidents, far more than a hundred years. ”
After thinking about it, he saw that Su Shi was gone, and he knew that he was asking him to express his thoughts, so he said: "Aura can prolong life, and breath can only increase qi and blood?" ”
"That's about it. The aura is being raised, and the Tao is cultivated. The breath is peaceful, and if you don't nourish it, you will be hurt. However, there are some exercises in the world that can also prolong life, but there is no magic method of immortal gate. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shi opened his mouth again and asked if Xu Yan had ever said words such as "nourishing the spirit and forging the body, nourishing the body and hiding the spirit, and nourishing the spirit and returning to the body". Forgetfulness thought about it carefully, as if it had been taught, it was mentioned when teaching something, yes, yes, Forgetfulness thought about it:
"Uncle Xu seems to have mentioned it when he talked about the deeds of the ancestor, but it has been too long, and I don't remember it very clearly."
He added: "Because of the conciseness, it sounds very reasonable, and I still have some impressions at will, but it is only a vague impression." ”
"'Cultivating the soul and forging the body, cultivating the body and hiding the spirit, and nourishing the spirit and returning to the body' can be regarded as the general outline of the cultivation of the people in the Xianmen, and the cultivation of my generation is based on this law. When I say this, do I have a deeper view of this? ”
It seems that Master Su Shi is more inclined to guide his apprentices, if it is Senior Brother Xie Xie, I don't know if he will feel annoyed. Well, why did you think of this, hurry up and think about this monastic law.
Su Shi also waited calmly, and after thinking about it for a while, he organized the following words: "There are three words for 'cultivation' in these twelve-character proverbs, which shows that the cultivation of the Tao is mainly for the cultivation of the body; there are also three words for 'body', presumably the focus of cultivation is one's own body; and the word 'spirit' is only known as reiki...... Master, that's all I can think about. ”
"Mmmm, yes, it's good to think about so much." Su Shi affirmed, "It's good that you don't know why you don't know why you didn't make any random speculations. This is a very good habit, walking the door to find the cheats classics is indeed lucky, but random speculation is also extremely dangerous. Of course, there is no need to explain the word 'God' now.
"What you said about the three 'cultivations' and the three 'bodies' is very good, the most important thing for a cultivator is to cultivate the body, and this is the most fundamental point of cultivation. It is unknown when the monasticism began, but for so long, no one has dared to say that they fully understand this mortal body. ”
As soon as Su Shi said this, he remembered the mountain god dao for a moment, opened his mouth and quickly closed it, thinking about it, it was a little inappropriate to interrupt the master's words. Of course, Su Shi saw this action of forgetfulness, so he asked softly if he had anything to say, and if he had anything, he would say it, don't worry.
Forgetfulness was relieved and said boldly: "If you nourish your body, as soon as the master said this, I thought of the mountain god. Is their almost self-harming ascetic approach also considered physical nourishment? ”
"Yamagamichi, yes." Su Shi looked up and thought about it, not knowing whether he was organizing words or recalling something, "This immortal sect's exercises have their own characteristics, and their 'body cultivation' is actually achieved by polishing the body. Each immortal gate has its own uniqueness. It's just that the ordinary immortal gate of the mountain god road feels a little brutal when it looks like it, and it is simply abusing itself. ”
looked at the forgetfulness and continued: "Since it is 'raising', there is another meaning. Think about some of the words we often say, 'cultivation', 'health' and 'cultivation', just a few are enough, can you understand the forgetfulness? ”
"'Cultivation', 'health', 'cultivation'......" Forgetfulness followed and repeated, and immediately reacted, "If you look at it from 'health', what the master wants to say is that 'raising' is not a temporary matter? ”
"Not bad, not bad. The first level means that it takes a long time to 'cultivate', and for us cultivators, we have been 'cultivating' all the time; the second level means that we must not be in a hurry, follow the step-by-step process, and if we get too entangled in the process of cultivation, the gains will outweigh the losses. It's better to be natural and not to do it, but it's weak. ”
"So, you have to remember to forget your feelings, don't rush for quick success." Su Shi did not forget to advise.
I thought about it and took Su Shi's warning to heart. But before he could add a little more to the carving, he continued to listen to Su Shi's next words.
"The two sentences of 'cultivating the soul and forging the body, cultivating the body and hiding the soul' have some other meanings, and when taken apart, they are actually four processes, 'raising the spirit', 'forging the body', 'raising the body' and 'hiding the soul'."
"Forgetfulness, you have to know that there is no word connection between 'nurturing the soul' and 'forging the body', in fact, the front and back are mutual."
"Master, what do you mean is that 'cultivating the soul' can 'forging the body', and similarly 'forging the body' can also 'raise the spirit'?"
"Yes, that's it, and the same is true for the last two sentences." Su Shi smiled at Forgetfulness.
And then he continued.
"The first of these processes is the 'forging body', and only after exercising the body can you 'hide the spirit', and this 'forging body' is also 'strange' because of the difference between the immortals. Only by being able to 'hide the soul' can we 'raise the soul', so the process of 'forging the body' must not be sloppy, and the better the polishing, the more vigorous the stamina. It's also a bit wrong to say that these processes run through the whole path of monasticism, well, that's right.
"Let me tell you about the forging method of the Red Dust Pavilion first, which is to copy the text of the Red Dust."
If you forget your feelings, you won't have words, copy books? Copying books can also forge the body, or is it such an important forging body as the Tao?
"Isn't it surprising, of course, that it's not a simple copy. Forget your feelings, and you will understand when the time comes. Su Shi said this, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, "After saying so much, I stretched out my hand unwillingly." Check your body first, so you can measure it! ”
Forgetfulness stretched out his right hand, and there was a hint of expectation in his heart, so he stared at Su Shi's eyes.
As soon as I came into contact with Su Shi's hand, I felt that a breath came in from between my fingers, could this be the aura, the aura that the master 'hid'? That breath started from the fingers of forgetfulness, and unhurriedly went around the twelve canons. Except for feeling the breath wandering in his body, he didn't feel anything else, and Su Shi's eyes couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, Su Shi frowned, and then, he felt that his body was cold, and a feeling of drowsiness and sleepiness suddenly came, and his face turned pale. That breath felt so changed, and it also changed. Feel, feel, so warm, like an oil-paper umbrella. The coolness of forgetfulness slowly dissipated, and his mind cleared up, but his face was still pale, and it must take some time to recover.
The eyes on his pale face stared at Su Shi even more intently, whether that look was to thank Su Shi for his help or to expect something. Su Shi withdrew his right hand and sighed lightly: "It's really bitter for you, how long has this cold poison been bothering your body?" ”
"Back to the master's words, listen...... I heard my mother say that I planted this bane when I was a child, and I don't know what the specific situation is. Forgetfulness said in a low voice.
"Listen to what your Uncle Xu said, didn't Elder Ranbi give you a wine gourd? It seems that it can alleviate the symptoms of inhibiting the cold poison, so you can go up and have a drink now and come down. Su Shi opened his mouth to say this, his expression was a little bitter, and he felt that this was the chagrin that he felt that he couldn't cure his cold poison.
Forget the love and hurriedly ran upstairs, entered the wing room and quickly opened the bag, hurriedly took the wine gourd, took off the wine stopper and poured it down his throat. The wine went down his throat, and he felt that it should be burning the latent chill, and he was dizzily paralyzing the latent chill.
"Handicap...... Almost...... Only. Thinking that Su Shi was still downstairs, he hurriedly walked down.
"Better, huh?" Su Shi asked.
"Much better." Forget to reply.
"In the future, remember to bring that wine gourd with you, I'll see if I can ask your master to ask for his wine gourd." That way you don't have to worry about the hassle of finding alcohol. Su Shi said softly.
"Thank you, master." Forgetful stood up and bowed, and Su Shi nodded for him to sit down.
Then, Su Shi spoke again: "I checked your body just now, and there is no other problem except for the strange cold poison that lurks. It's just that it seems that in addition to the normal forging body, you also have to use some other methods to assist. ”
Forget to think that you must have to suffer a little harder, after all, this cold poison is a hidden danger. You have to work hard yourself, and if you have the strength to suppress it, of course it's the best. I guess that's what everyone expects.
"Forget your feelings, you can rest in the Seventy-Six Pavilion, or you can go and read a book. Go to Elder Wai for the teacher to discuss how to better carry out your body forging. "After that, Su Shi came out of the Seven and Six Pavilion non-stop.
Looking at Su Shi who hurriedly went out, a trace of warmth swelled in his heart, and he went to look for a book with a slightly expressioned face.
