Chapter 28: The Fundamental Method
"Huh." Seeing Li Yunman's appearance, Li Changding smiled.
"Changding, how do you know that the white flying tree is dead? Even sent a rejuvenation liquid before? Li Yunyun asked strangely.
"Didn't I say it, I'm the white flying tree."
"What?" Li Yunyun felt confused, the fifth-order cultivator was unfathomable, and he had all kinds of incredible powers, but he had never heard of being able to turn into a tree, not to mention that the flower tree died in the end.
"No wonder you don't understand, this is my cultivation method, the spiritual sustenance method." Li Changding explained with a smile.
"Spiritual sustenance?" Li Yunyun muttered to herself, Li Yunman also raised his head, and looked at Li Changding curiously, they had never heard of any spiritual sustenance method, but since it was the cultivation method of this genius brother, it must be a very advanced cultivation method.
"Spiritual sustenance? I've never heard of it, can you tell me about it? ”
"Of course, there is no problem, the spiritual sustenance method is the fundamental method of my practice, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to say."
"Wait a minute, what is the fundamental method you are talking about? Aren't you practicing big and small Sundays? Li Yunman asked.
"You don't know? What about you, Sister Yunyun? Then Li Changding saw that Li Yunyun also had a puzzled face, "Okay, it seems that it is necessary for me to popularize the common sense in cultivation to you, although it is a relatively advanced common sense." ”
"The first-order Xiao Zhou Tian, strengthen the body, practice qi and nourish the spirit, the second-order Great Zhou Tian God is full of qi and can produce the Yin God, and then the third and fourth orders are all Great Zhou Tian, you should have this common sense."
"Of course we know that."
"Okay, the fourth-order primary cultivation is the circulation of essence, qi, and spirit, and it is harmonious and harmonious, and the practice is actually still the Great Zhou Tian. Then the fourth-order intermediate, the inner cultivation is complete, and the outer wonders are explored, and the relationship between heaven and man and the mystery is explored, so to speak, it can be said that he begins to explore his own system, and decides to stick to the path of his life after that. At this time, those who have the Dharma have already cultivated the mental method, taking it as the foundation, and then the spiritual consciousness is pervasive, reflecting the scenery of heaven and earth, the way of observing the sky, and realizing the mystery of the way of heaven. As for those who don't have a way, they have already begun to find their own way. ”
"Of course, the fourth-order intermediate level is only a mental method, and it is mainly a spiritual tempering, and it does not involve internal cultivation, so the cultivators at this time are still practicing the Great Zhou Tian Cycle." Speaking of this, Li Changding suddenly smiled indifferently, the fourth-order intermediate level is actually very important.
If the fourth-order primary level is a stage for cultivators to consolidate their foundation, harmonize their body and mind, adapt to new forces and abilities, and prepare for the next step, then the fourth-order intermediate level is the stage of seeking the path, and it is the time to decide the route, for example, deciding whether to occupy the city first and then counterattack the countryside, and to surround the city with the countryside, is the choice of the route, and it is definitely the most important thing.
Li Changding thought that it seemed that when he was at the fourth order intermediate, someone gave him a copy of "Wisdom Sword Cultivation", which was a secret of sword cultivation, although it did not involve the circulation of internal breath and breathing, but it was a wonderful mental method for sword cultivation to refine the soul and comprehend the way of heaven, and it was a peerless sword cultivation method.
In the path-seeking stage of choosing a route, I handed myself a book of sword cultivation mysteries, hehe, my grandfather is really well-intentioned, I have to pull myself into the pit of sword cultivation! Fortunately, his Yuan Spirit Body was born with a system, and there were signs when he was at the intermediate level of the fourth order, and when he was at the advanced level of the fourth order, he showed a rough idea, and finally let his grandfather have to let go. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of "conspiracy" he will use in order to practice kendo for himself.
"The fourth-order intermediate level is looking for its own way, the fourth-order advanced level is to follow the path and build a development system according to its own way, and the fourth-order peak is that the system has been constructed, and you can start to pursue the fifth-order."
"The fourth-order intermediate level is to find their own Dao, in that case, will those who already have their own Dao be able to pass the fourth-order intermediate level and reach the fourth-order advanced realm very quickly?" Li Yunyun asked.
"It's not that easy." Li Changding shook his head, "The so-called seeking is to improve one's outlook on life, worldview, and values. Do you think it's easy to improve your outlook on life, worldview, and values? There are too many requirements and tempering, experience, wisdom, perseverance and so on are indispensable. It's good for the average person to be able to complete this stage in five years. ”
"It's so difficult!" Li Yunman said.
"Of course." Li Changding said that he suddenly thought of his father here, he only took over the family business when he reached the fourth-order intermediate level, and his grandfather obviously had the idea of increasing his father's experience in doing this. There is also Xiao Bing in the novel, who mastered the affairs of the family at such a young age, she was also a fourth-order at that time, and she definitely did not reach the fourth-order high-level, I think Xiao Hongqin also has this consideration.
"What about the fourth-order peak to the fifth-order?" Li Yunman asked curiously.
"Fourth to fifth? Scold. Li Changding smiled, "It's hard to describe the complexity and mystery here, and it's not good to tell you now." ”
"Hmph, don't you look down on us!" Li Yunman said viciously, and at the same time muttered in his heart, this girl is already very good as a second-order in her twenties! Don't look down on people!
Li Changding smiled silently.
"Then what exactly is the fundamental method you are talking about?" Li Yunyun asked.
"The fundamental method, how do you say it? He is not an internal breath cycle like Zhou Tian, and it is different from the ordinary mental method, but it is closely related to the path of a cultivator. As I said before, the fourth-order intermediate level is to seek the path, and after you have your own path, you have a goal, and the root method is the act of achieving this goal, and the root method includes the exercises and the mental method, as well as the usual behaviors. ”
"You know the goddess of the earth, right? Have you read the Book of Afterlife? Li Changding asked.
"Of course." Li Yunman in reality rolled his eyes, and felt that Li Changding inevitably looked down on people too much!
"You are the seed of eternity, but I am your parents, guiding you on the path of righteousness, and until then, I want to protect you for the rest of my life. This wish is my great deed, and it is also my fundamental method. At this moment, Li Yunyun on the side opened her mouth and read the last sentence of "The Sutra of Life in the Later Earth".
"Wait a minute! The Fundamental Method! Li Yunman exclaimed in surprise after hearing this.
Li Changding smiled and said nothing.
And Li Yunyun thought for a moment, and said slowly: "The avenue of the goddess of the earth is the great mercy and love of all things, she incarnates the six realms of reincarnation, sheltering the dead beings in the world, so that they will not become lonely souls and wild ghosts, and gradually dissipate in the darkness and loneliness, but accumulate wisdom little by little in the reincarnation of reincarnation, until finally transcending the world, this is her way, she incarnates the six realms, and spreads the glory of the earth, all kinds of behaviors are to achieve this purpose." That's her fundamental method, is that what it means? ”
"Yes, that's right, it's all about behavior." Li Changding said happily, he just said a word, and Li Yunyun immediately had an epiphany, and his understanding was really good.
To tell the truth, among the many grandchildren of the second grandfather and the third grandfather, Li Changding is most optimistic about the Li Yunyun in front of him, although her current cultivation is only the peak of the second order, and there is still a line away from the third order, and the two cousins who are close to the peak of the third order are a whole level away, but when it comes to mind and understanding, it is this Li Yunyun who wants to go to the next level, and she has a natural and fresh pure wisdom. Li Changding believed that her achievements would definitely be above those two sword cultivators in the future.
"Behavior?" Li Yunyun muttered to herself, "The Tao of the Goddess of Houtu is great mercy and great love, such a wish, such a Tao is reflected in behavior, it is her incarnation of the Six Paths, and it is her shelter for tens of thousands of years. She performed all these virtues with her original intention and path, and these actions are the embodiment of her fundamental method. ”
"Yes." Li Changding said, "The incarnation of the six realms is the line, and it is the fundamental method of the Houtu. Sheltering the souls of the dead is the fundamental method of the earth. ”
"The fundamental method of the goddess of the earth is to shelter the undead beings in the world so that they will not be helpless. Because of this great virtue, she will have all kinds of great powers. The fundamental method is the root of cultivation after the fifth order. In the end, Li Changding said lightly.
The fundamental method is the root of practice after the fifth order. This is the case with Houtu, and so is Fang Xin. Others, such as the creation and use of specific divine techniques, revolve around the fundamental method.
And Fang Xin, who opens the path of merit, his fundamental method is naturally to accumulate merit.
In the original work, after Fang Xin's fifth order, his cultivation has been rising steadily, but it has been the ninth order in a few decades, because his merits have earned a lot, and the two world-saving merits are worth tens of millions of years of practice by others, so enlightenment and cultivation are twice the result with half the effort, and although the other things are also very important, they can't be talked about fundamentally.
