Chapter 103: Broken Certainty

"Imitating the 'innate spirit' and charisma is your strength."

The two moved on. Luo Qing didn't hear enough compliments, but Xie Liang reversed the subject: "But if you have a particularly compelling advantage, your mind will naturally tilt upward, and you will often focus on one project and ignore others. It is necessary to know that every area of spiritual practice can only be achieved through the combined action of the mind, skills, body, and spirit. These aspects are again interrelated. Highlighting a project may be beneficial for a while, but it will eventually stall. It is only when the remaining parts are perfected that they can be truly stable.

"I'm going to pass on the Xuanyuan Basic True Qi Method to you. When I started, I focused most on the unity of form and spirit. I had to have a well-rounded mind and couldn't ignore it. You have to understand that. ”

"Overall?"

Yes, the "self" is seen as a complete overall image, thus thinking about the mental image, so that the images of the mental image echo each other. After the beginning, he would work purely on the spiritual image, and make the image perfect by painting rich spiritual images......"

Luo Qing's head was as big as a bucket because of the series of spiritual images, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the solution of immortality, spiritual imagery, and imagery?"

Xie Liang explained lightly: "In the "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", the so-called body image is your body and spirit. That is, your body has skin, muscles and bones, energy, spirit, and soul, and nurture your mind, but it is indivisible. You need to understand that it is an indivisible whole, an "I" that exists in this world

As for mental imagery, it is based on a comprehensive grasp of the self, starting from self-knowledge, using imagery as a metaphor, and extracting the elements of concrete reality. For example, if a person thinks of himself as a Roc bird with nine wings, his heart is like a Roc bird. If a person is gloomy and strange, thinking that he is a poisonous snake that wanders in the crevices of the rocks, then his heart is like a poisonous snake.

"In addition, rocks, vegetation, the sun, the moon, and the stars, can all be spiritual images. The only caveat is that mental images are based on self-knowledge. In order to form a mental image, first of all, it is important to know yourself. Mental images are not fictional and require a clearer grasp of oneself. It is impossible for those who do not understand themselves to have a psychological image. Second, don't deceive yourself and others. If a man is happy and heroic, he cannot be a snake. If a person is tight-lipped, he can't be a ROC. There is no point in deliberately changing your mind and will only lead to trouble. ”

Luo Qing thought about it for a long time, and finally understood a little.

"It's like thinking. ”

The "Bright Moon in the Nine Palaces" that he had previously practiced was the most typical meditation technique. There is a name called "Cloud Chasing the Moon". It takes the five internal organs as the clouds, the cerebral uterus fainting as the moon, and the two common objects and shapes in nature as the objects of thought. Through thousands of suggestive body movements and conjunctions, at that point, the "clouds" are the five internal organs and the vitality, and the "moon" is the brain palace that is fascinated by each other.

When performing martial arts, only thinking of "chasing the moon in the clouds" can stimulate qi and blood and instinctively improve performance. Because this process can let go of complex details such as qi and blood operation, which is the so-called "do what you want and concentrate". It is very effective in calming and nourishing the mind. Luo Qing's rapid progress after entering the realm of communion with God is also closely related to this.

Xie Liang seemed to understand what he was thinking: "Have you practiced meditation before?"

"Yes. ”

Luo Qing explained the exercises he had practiced, and Xie Liang nodded, "I'm really a beginner in thinking. Of course, having a foundation is good for you, but the two have different sources of thinking. The "bright moon" and so on that you thought of before belong to the "Thinking Scene Method Outside the Body", which is the inherent pattern taught to you by books......"

Speaking of this, he frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he gives a good example: "Those fixed patterns are set in a mold. However, the mental image you want to think about next is based on the self-image and is "born" from the image

Seeing Luo Qing nodding, Xie Liang was not optimistic: "It's easier to understand than to do." You have to get rid of the previous troubles and break the fixed pattern, otherwise, the foundation ahead is your biggest obstacle. ”

When Luo Qing answered, they unconsciously came to a jaw-dropping vision.

At this time, it was already late, and Luo Qing saw the scenery in front of him and lit the lantern of anger. The numbers are in a state of confusion and I don't know what's going on.

The little Taoist priest saw Baoguang's figure from a distance and saw them as well. He hurried up to meet them, first settling the matter of politeness, and then complaining, "Just now, in front of me, there was a rat biting madly, probably infected with evil spirits. Master said that even if there is a very powerful demon hiding nearby, be careful to observe. ”

Luo Qing and Liangliang looked at each other, thinking of the enchanted crow.

Powerful demons have a strong influence on the movement of qi, and since they are incompatible with the spirit world, they consciously or unconsciously release evil spirits to alter their surroundings to suit their own needs. Some of the weaker creatures lack resistance, are corrupted by evil spirits, and either die or mutate. Most of the mutated creatures are fierce and aggressive, and their life intensity has increased greatly, but Shouyuan has shrunk a lot.

Now, it's almost certain that demons will be around us!

Hearing the news, Xie Liang naturally went to discuss with Yu Zhou. The Xuanyuan Basic Law was also put on hold for the time being. Luo Qing could only return to his residence first.

There's something about demonizing creatures. The heart-warming point of view is not calm. The disciples outside and the Taoist priests on the list were talking about it. On Luo Qing's way back to his residence, there were two groups of people who prevented him from discussing, one worried and one excited, which was very different from the usual comfortable atmosphere.

A long time ago, Luo Qing's heart was occupied by what Xie Liang called "physical image" and "spiritual image". He didn't say much to others. He came back early and sat down in a quiet room. He began to think carefully about Xie Liang's theory. At this moment, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

Just now Xie Liang said that he wanted to know himself completely. His heart was moving. At that time, he thought of the "concentric circle theory" described by Yetu under Modi.

At that time, Ye Tu divided his thoughts into three parts: primordial spirit, tacit knowledge, and explicit knowledge. He also sees the refinement of hidden knowledge as an intermediate stage of entering divine communication and a sign of attaining the Yin God. At that time, his general idea was to recognize the many desires and emotions hidden in knowledge, so that the great potential hidden in them could be truly harnessed by me.

Ye Tu's narrative is only on a level of ecstasy, while Xie Liang sees the "self" as an inseparable whole. The scope of the two narratives is different, but the inner spirit is the same.

In short: it is washed and refined!

A qualified longevity skill must have its own unique method of "washing and refining," Yetu said. As far as Luo Qing's understanding is concerned, the so-called "discipline" is actually a kind of self-perception.

On the level of enchantment, we should recognize the desires and emotions hidden in the soul so that those who suit us can use them and those who don't fit us can leave. At the level of "self", the process of "generating" mental images from physical images is also a process of fully understanding and profoundly grasping "self".

Through the combination of the two, Luo Qing understood the origin and method of the "Xuanyuan Basic Law".

After knowing the truth, Luo Qing was full of hope, hoping that Xie Liang would end the discussion as soon as possible and teach him the real method. He had just informed Baoguang. If the negotiations are over there, he will call him. He will strike while the iron is hot and chase Xie Liang to obtain this excellent weather regularity.

It's just that it's already the middle of the night, and Baoguang hasn't released the news yet.

Consciously waiting a little impatiently, Luo Qing calmed down, simply rested, and gradually felt in his heart that he was unconsciously very familiar with luck, and flowed "The bright moon of the Nine Palaces is really a wonderful method", so that the vitality cloud of the five internal organs and the brain palace were rubbed against each other, induced each other, and entered the realm of ecstasy.

At some point, he was suddenly interrupted by a cold snort.

Luo Qing's body shook, and then he walked out of the state of thinking, opened his eyes and looked, sitting in front of him with a straight face, who is not Xie Liang?

At first he was happy, but later he noticed that Xie Daxian seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Xie Xian Chang ......"

"Is it just 'chasing the moon through the clouds'?"

Luo Qing could only nod.

Xie Liang frowned and said, "I have already told you the truth of the image and the mind, why do I still use that fixed condom?"

"Well, it's not like Xie Xianchang hasn't taught......"

"What does it have to do with whether I teach or not?"

Xie Liang rebuked in a low voice: "Don't worry about any physical or mental image. Do you understand what you're thinking about the moon?"

Luo Qing couldn't answer.

Xie Liang shook his head and said, "You still don't understand, the most delicate thing is to think of something." You've been thinking about the bright moon for many years, and these changes are happening in a dark place. You have long been connected to your own qi movement and become a whole. The bright moon at this time is not what the ancient books tell you, but what you need the most. Is the bright moon in other people's eyes the same as the bright moon you see?"

Luo Qing was stunned when he heard it, Xie Liang's words were not too detailed, but the meaning was very clear.

"In the end, it's just an obsession. I always think of mine as someone else's, thinking that my bright moon is above my head. However, this level of practice is empty talk ... Did the person who taught you that year say how about the bright moon in her heart?"

Luo Qing smiled bitterly, I'm afraid there is no "bright moon" in my heart.

He breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly closed his eyes.

At this time, he recalled the past and was deeply moved. The so-called "Nine Palaces and Bright Moon" is indeed a wonderful method, but it is a fragmentary method that the Chiyin Fairy discovered from Taoist books. Let him practice and see if it works. No one has taught him since the rebellion against the Immortal Sect. He was completely on his own. With the help of some similar methods in The Immortal Charm, he went through painstaking groping, speculation, and practice. He has cultivated himself from the insignificant pneumatic phase to long breathing sessions and then to resuscitation. Eventually, he amassed a great deal of wealth and thinning hair, divided his mind into knowledge, and entered the realm of the cosmic gods.

At this point, the exercises he practiced may be illegible compared to the original version. It's only a little bit of change over the years, and he doesn't know it himself. Now that Xie Liang found it, his heart suddenly broke: "The bright moon in my heart is mine." Where are the other people in sight?"

When he read the letter, his eyes suddenly fainted like wheels. A bright moon rose from the mud pills and passed through the nine palaces like the sky. At the same time, all the famous words in his heart about "the bright moon of the Nine Palaces are really beautiful" collapsed, leaving no trace at all. Only the bright moon, like a wheel, shines in the void, naturally evoking the vitality of the whole body, like a raging tide.

The obsession has passed, and he has passed this stage!
