The two walked down the street together, enjoying the sun.

Liu Guanshan held his head in his hands and walked on his back, and suddenly he asked, "Do you know why this public loser Jane is so crazy?"

Xie Baoshu shook his head.

Liu Guanshan told a story that during the Tang Dynasty Apocalypse, there was a dealer who sold counterfeit medicines and walked in Chang'an City with a gourd on his back. Specially deceived those lonely old people, gave them something called the elixir, and deceived some silver and copper coins.

Surprisingly, in the heavily guarded Chang'an City, he was not arrested, you say it's ridiculous. There are still many old people in high positions who promote the elixir to him, if it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor finally issuing a hunt and kill order, this liar might really be at large.

Xie Baoshu asked, "Why are those people so stupid?"

Liu Guanshan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, women are afraid of old age, and old people are afraid of death." It was precisely because the drug dealer grasped this humanity that he could be like a fish in water in Chang'an City. ”

Xie Baoshu was silent for a while, and asked, "Then Gong Yi Jian said that Senior Liu, you are also about to live for a long time, so you came to this Taoyuan Wonderland to seek the method of immortality?"

Liu Guanshan nodded, then walked forward, and said: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is really rising, there can be no problem with the Two Realms Mountain. It's not that I want to live longer, but I'm afraid that I'll be gone in the future, and the Two Realms Mountain will be unguarded. ”

Xie Baoshu asked: "Senior, why don't you find an apprentice, won't it be solved in this way?" ”

Liu Guanshan shook his head and said, "This exercise of mine can't be practiced by ordinary people, and it must be done in a heavenly posture." Although Datang has produced a lot of geniuses over the years, they are not suitable for my path. ”

Xie Baoshu stood aside and asked a little nervously, "Senior, what do you think of me?"

Liu Guanshan was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xie Baoshu to ask this question, he stayed for a moment and said, "Hehe." ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Guanshan said: "Hehe, what it means is hehe, you just ran over and kicked the old man, and you were tired and out of breath." Like you, let alone physical cultivation, even Qi practitioners can't look down on you, although your qualifications are not bad. ”

Xie Baoshu asked again: "What is the difference between qi cultivation and physical cultivation?"

Liu Guanshan asked, "Do you know what kind of place this Taoyuan Village is?"

Xie Baoshu shook his head and replied, "The Sword Immortal senior told me before, he said that this is the Taoyuan Fairyland, a blessed land of immortals, but he only told me this. ”

Liu Guanshan nodded and said: "There are four fairies in this world, except for the most mysterious Bodhi fairyland, followed by this peach paradise. In the legend of the outside world, there was an immortal surnamed Tao back then, and he left a kind of immortal art that can make people immortal in this fairyland. Therefore, everyone yearns for this paradise, but most people can't find the entrance. Let me ask you, have the people of your village ever climbed over this mountain to see what is on the other side of it?"

Xie Baoshu nodded and said, "When I was a child, I was playful, and I climbed the mountain to see it by myself. On the other side of the mountain, there is still a mountain, but the mountain on that side is surrounded by clouds and mist, and there is no way to go up. ”

Liu Guanshan said: "The mountains on the other side of the mountain are all fake, they are illusions, and only these mountains that you can climb are real." And these mountains and the cloud and mist array outside are all used to protect the existence of the Taoyuan Wonderland. In addition to guarding, that formation can also gather the aura of heaven and earth, which is why this place is so full of aura. It is precisely because of this that there is no demonic spirit on that peach tree. Your grandfather probably also used that tree to achieve the method of reincarnation and immortality. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "Then what should we do?"

Liu Guanshan stretched out a finger and pointed to the big tree in the middle of the village, and said, "Just cut down the tree." ”

Xie Baoshu touched the pig-killing knife on his waist and asked, "Go now or when to go?"

Liu Guanshan looked at the sun in the sky and said, "It's still early now, there's no hurry to go later, now you go to a place with me first." ”

Xie Baoshu followed behind Liu Guanshan, and the two walked towards the mountain together. Xie Baoshu was out of breath after walking for a while, while Liu Guanshan didn't even sweat, and the robes on his body fluttered in the wind, looking very relaxed.

Liu Guanshan was still in a leisure mood, and said to Xie Baoshu: "You just asked what physical cultivation is, and there are qi practitioners. In fact, these two kinds are collectively called monks in the outside world, that is, immortals in the mouths of mortals. There are thousands of cultivation methods in this world, but they are all the same, and there are only three main ways of cultivation. The first type is the most common qi practitioner. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, panting and echoing: "The Sword Immortal senior told me that he is a qi practitioner. ”

Liu Guanshan continued: "Sword cultivation is a special kind of qi practitioner, and I will talk about this later." The second type of practice is body refining, which is called body cultivation. As the name suggests, a qi practitioner is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, form a small Zhou Tian in the body, and condense the aura of heaven and earth into his own aura. Physical cultivation is different, physical cultivation is to temper one's physical body with the help of various methods, and make one's physical body stronger. ”

Xie Baoshu said: "These things, the Sword Immortal senior told me, but he just mentioned them casually. He also told me that there is another way to practice, which is to train the mind, what is the practice of the mind?"

Liu Guanshan looked at him and said slowly: "I didn't want to tell you about this heart training, but since you want to ask, I'll talk about it." In this world, there is a kind of monk who neither practices qi nor body, but refines his state of mind in the mortal world. For example, Zhuangzi who studied philosophy, as well as monks who accumulated merits, and Taoist masters who practiced the spiritual realm. People like them either haven't made a move for hundreds of years, but once they do, they can shock the heavens and the earth! This kind of monk is very rare, and it is rare to see it in ordinary times. ”

Xie Baoshu pondered for a while and asked, "I can understand this body refining and qi training, but can this heart training really be used to fight?"

Liu Kanshan smiled and said, "You don't understand this, it's rumored." When Zhuangzi meditated and meditated, he could know the profound mechanism of the changes in heaven and earth, the mystery of the creation of the universe, and the heaven and earth were in one sight. This kind of person still fights? If he snaps his fingers, maybe you'll be gone. ”

Xie Baoshu praised: "It's really amazing." ”

Liu Guanshan said: "Don't think about it. The world is very fair, and the more you want something, the more you may not get it for a long time. Some people have practiced all their lives, but in the end they are just a handful of loess. ”

Xie Baoshu asked again: "That sword immortal senior also told me that the first step of cultivation is called a ghost immortal. What is the origin of this ghost immortal?"

Liu Guanshan replied: "In the outside world, the word ghost immortal is a word in the Taoist books, and they stipulate that the first step is to be called a ghost immortal. And among ordinary monks, there is another way of saying it. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "Is the Dao Gate so powerful?"

Liu Guanshan nodded and said, "To be able to rule such a big world, do you say that it is powerful." Even in my Tang Dynasty, there are many Taoist temples. You have to remember that cultivation is one, two, three. For example, ghosts and immortals are the first step for human beings or demons and monsters to step into cultivation, and they are also the foundation laid. If the foundation is not done well, the physical body will be destroyed in the future, and it will not be able to be reincarnated, and it will become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, so it is called a ghost and a fairy. And the ghost fairy also brought a fairy character, do you know what a fairy is? A person and a mountain, that is, an immortal, which means that people go to the high mountains and are not afraid of difficulties. ”

Xie Baoshu asked again: "Then what is one, two, three?"

Liu Guanshan said: "The Daomen collectively call this kind of cultivation a ghost fairyland, but the monks divide this ghost fairy into three realms, that is, one, two, three, which is used to distinguish. This, two, three, will accompany you in the future and grow old in the wilderness. Now I'll tell you about the first realm of ghosts and immortals, which is reborn, and this realm is often called the realm of bone change. ”

Xie Baoshu muttered: "Reborn, can't you really replace the bones of your body?"

Liu Guanshan nodded and said, "The flesh is mortal, and it is naturally not good to cultivate. If you want to truly practice, you naturally have to be reborn first. The body of a mortal, if you want to be comparable to a god, how can it be so simple. If a qi practitioner wants to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, he naturally needs a good body. The reason why those legendary geniuses have their own heavenly posture, and the reason why their cultivation speed is very fast is naturally that they absorb much more heaven and earth aura than ordinary people, and they are more pure. And physical cultivation is to rely on the body to eat, one's own muscles and bones, must be strong, have you ever seen someone make a house in the village?"

Xie Baoshu replied, "Of course I did." ”

Liu Guanshan said: "When people practice, it's like building a house. The first step in this ghost fairy realm is to lay the foundation in the house. If you want the house to do well, the foundation must be stable. People usually eat and drink water by relying on bones, so on this path of cultivation, bone replacement is a must. In fact, changing bones does not mean replacing bones, but replacing the mortal bones on the body with fairy bones after tempering. At this point, there is a difference between qi practitioner and physical cultivation. Qi practitioners use the aura of heaven and earth to warm the bones of the whole body. And physical cultivation is more troublesome, physical cultivation is best to find some heaven and earth spirit treasures to refine the bones on the body, this method is much more painful. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "Then why do people still go to refine their bodies, instead of practicing qi?" ”

Liu Guanshan shook his head and said: "Qi practitioners are God's reward for eating, some people absorb the aura of heaven and earth quickly, but there are some people who can't even absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so what should I do, don't you practice? If you haven't read a book, if you want to make a living, you can only sell coolies. ”

Xie Baoshu frowned and said, "That body cultivation, isn't it a great loss?"

Liu Kanshan said with a smile: "God is fair, although the days of physical cultivation are sad, there are many benefits." In the same realm, one body cultivator can beat ten ordinary qi practitioners. ”

Xie Baoshu was surprised: "Such an exaggeration?"

Liu Guanshan nodded and said, "This is not an exaggeration, even more exaggerated is actually a sword cultivation!"
