Chapter 65: Cultivation is Cultivation of the Mind

Epiphany means sudden realization.

Song Zeng Minxing's "Duxing Magazine" Volume 2: "(Yellow Valley) Shaoshengzhong, living in Fuling, first saw "Huaisu's Self-Description" in Shiyang's home. Because of borrowing it, it is close to the end of the day, and almost all the food is wasted. Since then, I have had an epiphany of the grass method, and the pen is flying. ”

Epiphany is a method of Zen Buddhism, as opposed to the method of gradual enlightenment. That is, the method of "clear mind" advocated by the sixth ancestor Huineng.

It is not the only way to achieve enlightenment through the correct practice method, which is to quickly comprehend the essentials of the Dharma, so as to guide the correct practice and achieve success, of course, this is not the only way, and the epiphany is mainly done through inspiration, which may be instantaneous in terms of time.

Among them, the most famous is the dragon field epiphany of Wang Yangming, a master of Gewu in the Ming Dynasty, and the general epiphany is basically caused by external forces, and Wang Yangming is no exception this time.

Once, he offended the eunuch Liu Jin because of his negligence, and suffered a "court staff" in the court. "Court Scepter" was not originally founded in the Ming Dynasty, but it was carried forward in the Ming Dynasty. According to records, Wang Yangming received the "stripping stick", and he may have been the first person to receive this heavy punishment since the opening of the Ming Dynasty. This tragic humiliation not only caused great damage to his body, but also caused him a deep trauma in his soul.

Although he never mentioned it for the rest of his life, it is not difficult to see the scars from the text. As he said: "It must be a stick and a mark at all times, a slap and a palm of blood, so that you can listen to me and be effective." If you spend your days in the vastness, like a piece of dead meat, you don't know the pain and itch of beating, I am afraid that it will not help in the end. ”

Suffering this kind of "shame of losing one's life and perverting one's way" had a profound impact on Wang Yangming's epiphany. In Zhengde for three years, he was named Guizhou Longchang Yicheng. One night, I suddenly realized the truth of learning from things. This is the so-called "Dragon Field Epiphany".

Epiphany is hard to come by, and some people never have an epiphany once in their lifetime. Some people may have an ordinary sentence from others, and it is possible to make a person have an epiphany.

For cultivators, epiphany is a good medicine. Uncle Nine knows more about these from the literature, and Uncle Nine has never seen the real epiphany.

At this time, he was even more surprised to see Chen Feng suddenly have an epiphany. This all shows that Chen Feng's state of mind has undergone a tremendous change, which is like a step forward in his future cultivation.

A few minutes later, Chen Feng's gaze showed clarity. Uncle Nine will be a little disappointed in his heart, and the epiphany will be divided into big and small. The small ones may be over in a few minutes and seconds, and the big ones are possible. Seeing Chen Feng having an epiphany for a few minutes, he also felt a little relieved in his heart for this named disciple of his own.

At this time, Chen Feng only felt that his brain was clear, and there was an indescribable comfort all over his body, and his eyes looked at the whole world, which seemed to be clearer.

"Master, just now the disciple had some thoughts in his heart, so that he suddenly wandered, I hope the master will not be surprised."

Chen Feng suddenly became an ordinary person with the ability to shuttle through the world, and he was not proficient in these mysterious things at all, but he was just a little distracted, and he couldn't help but say apologetically with an apologetic face.

Uncle Nine shook his head with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to have such a big karma, you didn't have a distraction, but an epiphany." It seems that I, Lin Jiu, also had great luck, and even received a Tianjiao."

Chen Feng may not know what he looked like before, but he still knows a lot about the word epiphany that Uncle Nine said.

Whether it is a martial arts novel or a fantasy novel in later generations, the word epiphany is regarded as a miracle medicine. After every epiphany, the protagonist's strength will increase dramatically. When I saw myself at this time, I had an epiphany on the spot like the protagonist in the legend, and I was a little excited and speechless for a while.

"What does it mean for the master to have an epiphany? How come I haven't had anything like a little junior brother."

Wencai, who was reprimanded by Uncle Jiu, asked in a tiger's head.

Uncle Jiu, who was still full of joy, suddenly collapsed his face.

"Epiphany is something that is unattainable, and a stupid person like you will never be possible in this life."

"Forehead ......".

Wen Cai pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, but he didn't dare to contradict Uncle Jiu, so he could only be ruthless at the bowl of rice in front of him.

"Senior Brother Wencai, thank you so much just now, if it weren't for your words, the junior brother would not have had an epiphany directly in front of the master."

Wen Cai blinked and didn't understand what Chen Feng meant, obviously your own epiphany, what does it have to do with me? I didn't see that I was reprimanded twice by the master.

Chen Feng didn't know how to explain it, but from his own feelings, it was precisely because of a series of actions of Wencai that he had an epiphany.

Uncle Nine saw Chen Feng puzzled and opened his mouth to explain.

"Okay, Chen Feng. Although the epiphany is the promotion of external forces, it is more of the experience of your own mind."

That afternoon, when Chen Feng picked up the True Martial Arts Sutra again, he only felt that the words in the book seemed to fly in front of his eyes one by one. With the recitation, I was immersed in time for a while, and I couldn't extricate myself for a long time.

"System, do you say that I will be able to pass Master's inspection tomorrow?"

Due to the integration of the afternoon, Chen Feng felt full of confidence again, and applied to Uncle Nine again, wanting to come again tomorrow, and Uncle Nine was happy to accept it.

It's just that at night, Chen Feng felt a little uneasy in his heart, but at this time, there was no one to talk to Chen Feng at all, so he could only seek comfort from the system.

The system, as usual, kept silent after the mandate was issued, as if it didn't exist at all. Although Chen Feng had already expected such a result, maybe it was just to seek peace of mind.

On the morning of the second day, as soon as there was a rooster crow in the courtyard, when Chen Feng got up to wash, Uncle Jiu and Wen Cai were already standing in the courtyard and cultivating.

Although this world is not as inconspicuous as the Dao in later generations, it is also very difficult for cultivation. In addition to getting up early and greedy for darkness, relying on a trace of aura in the early morning. It is basically impossible to cultivate during the day.

In the words of Uncle Nine, that is, the path of cultivation is like ascending to the sky. There are already very few people who have reached the late stage of enlightenment like themselves, and the senior brother of this line of this sect has only just stepped into the fusion period with half a foot, and the current head of Maoshan has only just stepped into the heartbeat period, and the real person in the Jindan realm has not appeared for hundreds of years. His junior brother, the Four-Eyed Dao Master, is cultivating the method of driving away corpses, and it is only in the early stage of enlightenment.

The two of them have spent half their lives in the middle of foundation building, and being able to set foot in the bright period in this life has already made Uncle Nine satisfied.

He hadn't really entered cultivation yet, and he didn't dare to disturb Uncle Jiu and Wencai, just silently watched from the sidelines. After the two of them were over, the sun had already risen high, and Chen Feng went to the kitchen alone to prepare breakfast in the morning.

"The Great Sage of Xuantian, the Northern Nonqi to the Spirit God.

Jin Que should be incarnated, and the supreme general should be called Wuwu.

Wei Rong Heyi is too Yin Jun, and the list is in danger and shows off the ...............".

Chen Feng's recitation, in the words of his later teacher, means that he already has feelings, and Uncle Nine nodded with great satisfaction.

After the end of the backlash, Chen Feng pursed his lips that were a little dry, and looked at Uncle Nine expectantly.

"It seems that you have truly understood the meaning of the True Martial Arts Sutra. I'm going to officially teach you the cultivation method today, but I have a few words to say before that."

Uncle Jiu's face became solemn, and in this atmosphere, Chen Feng also straightened his waist.

"Our generation of monks must not use the Tao to show in front of others, not to use the Tao to seek money, and not to use the Tao to harm people's lives. Destroy the monsters in the world and return the world to a bright .........."

With Uncle Jiu's words and words, Chen Feng kept it firmly in his heart, and did not dare to have a trace of perfunctory.
