Chapter 174: Meaning and Nature
Who knew that the so-called Yi-shaped jade pendant, as soon as it entered Wang Baoshan's hand, there was a slight coolness, and it spread all over his body.
This surprised him, but after a closer look, he found that the texture of this meaning was also special. He didn't know what it was, but he had a sense of familiarity.
The touch of this piece of meaning seems to be somewhat similar to the Qingling ring in his hand.
"I don't know my predecessors, what is the use of this thing?"
"Little ghost, this thing is not simple, it is a storage magic weapon refined by the old man with a piece of the best spirit stone for 10,000 years, there is no other use, it can only store some important information, and it contains some experience of my enlightenment......"
This seems to be a simple introduction, but it hides an unknown secret, which seems to be a hidden mystery!
After the old man Ji Shuiyin introduced it, he also taught Wang Baoshan how to use it.
This made Wang Baoshan very surprised, thinking that this seemingly inconspicuous jade pendant was actually a rare treasure.
Not to mention the enlightenment in it, just the magical function of storing information, if used properly, will be of great use in the future!
In this way, he followed the old man Ji Shuiyin on the one hand, learning the use of Yixingbi.
Before I knew it, time passed really fast, and I saw the sky shining and the sun rising in the east.
At this time, the sky has gradually become clearer.
But the two of them talked all night, but there was no trace of sleepiness, and it seemed that they forgot about other things when they talked about the day.
Perhaps, because of the night's conversation and the exchange of things they need, the strangeness between Wang Baoshan and the old man Ji Shuiyin has gradually decreased, and the relationship between the two of them has also undergone subtle changes.
After the statement of the old man Ji Shuiyin, Wang Baoshan also slowly gained some gains and understood the true meaning of the Taoist body.
The so-called Dao body is not a practitioner, after the Tao is profound, through the perception and cultivation, the body of enlightenment condensed, there are also practitioners, called the Dharma body.
The Dao body is the foundation of enlightenment, and it is the primordial spirit formed by the mana of the practitioner after accumulating the Mahayana method.
It is the state of perfection of cultivation, which is fundamentally different from what practitioners often call the spiritual body.
The spiritual body refers to the spiritual power in the practitioner's body, after the accumulation reaches a certain level, after purification and quenching, removing impurities, and striving for perfection, the spiritual power body is condensed.
There are many common methods of cultivation, and although the exercises referred to are very different, the names of each school are also different.
But all laws are one, in essence, they have the same thing, they are all in pursuit of the ultimate transcendent body......
Wang Baoshan was deeply interested in these and listened very carefully. He understood that Old Man Ji Shuiyin must have intentionally dialed him in this way.
Such an opportunity, whether for him or for anyone, must be an extremely difficult God-given opportunity.
In the past, he had limited exposure to levels, so he was at a loss for many things.
And now, with such a great opportunity, why wouldn't he do it!
It was out of this idea that Wang Baoshan deliberately took out pen, ink and paper in order to better comprehend, and recorded the words of the old man Ji Shuiyin.
His good habits were not only not made fun of by the old man Ji Shuiyin, but were greatly praised.
In order to make it easier for him to record, the old man deliberately slowed down his speech and slowly divided it word by word.
In this way, the two of them, one of them spoke at length and eloquently, and the other listened and carefully recorded and made a book.
That scene was very peaceful and very pleasant. It is like a diligent and studious student, listening carefully to the teacher's teachings, encountering the mysteries, and humbly taking notes.
At this time, the early morning mountain breeze blew faintly, and in the fire beside them, a few small flames were about to be extinguished, and they swayed again.
But Wang Baoshan's attention was all in the words of the old man Ji Shuiyin, and he was completely unaware of other things.
This can only show that the words of the old man Ji Shuiyin are extremely attractive and extraordinary.
His old man, through his simple and easy-to-understand language, showed Wang Baoshan a picture: a vast and boundless Taoist picture.
In that picture scroll, there are countless cultivators who have not been able to comprehend the method of enlightenment in their entire lives.
What an opportunity this is, so that Wang Baoshan is like a real chapter, I am deeply honored. He was immersed in it, and his mood of surprise was not calm for a long time.
Since ancient times: the Tao is the same.
To put it simply, the Tao of the Tao must first understand the essential principles of the Tao and the methods of the Tao.
Confidential principles and methods all originate from the spiritual comprehension, and all cultivation methods must be guided by the mechanism and the method, and the Tao can be continuously improved step by step.
Therefore, it is only through practice that scholars and the mechanism and method of the Tao are mutually confirmed, merged into one, and repeatedly realized, can they obtain the essence of the Tao and reach the realm of superiority......
When the old man Ji Shuiyin said this, he suddenly paused, maybe it was his old man, his mouth was a little dry, and he took out the wine jug by himself, intending to drink wine to quench his thirst.
But when the wine came to his mouth, the old man didn't drink it, just sniffed it, and put down the wine jug.
Wang Baoshan, who was on the side, understood and hurriedly brought water for him to quench his thirst and moisten his throat.
The old man Ji Shuiyin drank it, and then said, "Okay...... You're not stupid, you're getting more and more pleasing to people......! Do you remember ......"
After hearing this, Wang Baoshan smiled honestly and nodded yes, which is not a problem.
"The Dao body and the Dharma body mentioned above don't mean much to you now, so you should listen to it...... Next, the old man will tell you a method of cultivation......"
The method of cultivation mentioned by the old man Ji Shuiyin is called "The Natural Law of Meaning and Shape", which is recorded in that piece of meaning and shape.
Before his old man explained, he asked Wang Baoshan not to record, but to consult and comprehend it first according to the exercises in the Yixingbi, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, he can put it forward on the spot.
When Wang Baoshan heard this, he instantly understood the other party's kindness, how could he miss such a good thing.
Immediately, according to the method of use he had just learned, he put the piece of meaning on his forehead, and then used the power of the wind spirit in his body, so that his divine consciousness was still immersed in it.
I saw that in the shape of the meaning, it became a space of its own, and its interior was foggy and smoky.
With the traction of Wang Baoshan's spiritual power, the blue smoke inside began to gather and separate, and evolved into paragraphs of text.
In one of the striking places, there is a scroll made of smoke, which is the "Meaning of Natural Law".
Wang Baoshan took up his spiritual power and looked at it a few times, but saw that at the beginning, there was such a sentence:
Caused by the mind, the externalization force, the volume is natural, and the Tao is successful.
As if to illustrate, the old man Ji Shuiyin was still here and gave a detailed explanation.
He said that the meaning is thought, the form is the strength, and the heart is the mind. These three complement each other and are indispensable.
They are lawless methods, which are different from the fixed exercises left over from some ancestors.
The meaning of this shows that the practitioner must refrain from using rigid and stereotypical methods to carry out the actual combat method.
The old man Ji Shuiyin also pointed out in the "Meaning and Natural Law" that the real combat method should be to follow the square and circle, change with the trend, respond to the feeling, and be flexible and natural.
Fazhongyun: The force is invisible, the meaning has no root, the practice is tangible, the fight is invisible, and the invisible power is the all-encompassing power.
Regarding the meaning of this passage, the old man Ji Shuiyin also explained accordingly.
He felt that in the real combat method, both sides wanted to subdue each other with the fastest speed and the strongest spiritual power.
But in this way, the reaction actions of the two require great forward thinking and prediction in advance to achieve the desired effect.
Therefore, it is impossible to calmly think about the opponent's attack when it is about to come, and choose an appropriate move to fight back.
It's like a sick person who can't get sick according to a doctor's prescription.
In the actual combat method, it is absolutely impossible to fight according to anyone's preconceived ideas, so even if you practice thousands of exercises, if you are confined to the rigid moves, in the end, it will eventually become useless.
However, among the cultivators, most of the cultivators cling to the tricks, always hoping to defeat the enemy with their death moves.
There are even quite a few cultivators who use the number of moves as a criterion for judging the level of cultivation.
If you encounter an outlaw who fights indiscriminately, I am afraid that the thousands of tricks and exquisite magic skills he has learned will also be completely forgotten under the crazy attack, and his hands and feet will be messed up, and he will be beaten indiscriminately.
Therefore, the actual combat mental method of "Meaning and Shape Natural Law" first talks about it: both tangible and formal are false, and the meaning is true only when it is invisible.
Cultivators must fully understand this, otherwise once they practice the battle method, they will only become a living target for others to attack.
Of course, according to the old man Ji Shuiyin, in the actual combat method, it is natural that you can't fight indiscriminately.
It is necessary to combine the powerful strength obtained through hard training, with sensitive movements and superb techniques, to quickly change one's body shape and movements, and then knead them into a whole with the formless mind and thoughts, so as to perfectly show extraordinary power in actual combat.
This kind of performance, in its external form, is ever-changing, and you can change the tricks of the spell at will according to your own imagination.
But within it, it must always be integrated, which can be both tangible and tangible magic moves, or invisible and shadowless virtual moves, which is a flexible way of fighting.
Only by mastering a truly flexible approach can we comprehend the true meaning of nature and learn the ability to adapt to changes.
