Chapter 628: Inheritance, Uneasiness?
Liu Shifeng put his thin right hand on the bound book, and stroked the cover with his thumb for a while, with a look called "nostalgia" on his face.
This thread-bound book is quite thick, probably thicker than the new version of Xinhua Dictionary, and it should be able to stone people to death.
After a long time, Liu Shifeng said to Huang Chong:
"The purpose of this school is to pay attention to the unity of heart and mind, to achieve the unity of mind and mind, and to seek the unity of heaven and man, we need to understand the way of heaven at all times, whether it is condensing mana, or drawing talismans and casting spells, we need to be united in mind and mind."
"One mind?"
"Yes, the mind is one, all kinds of charms in Maoshan, which are condensed by several generations, and even more than ten generations of ancestors of the painstaking efforts and experience, when our descendants learn their skills, they should also understand the rules contained in it, take this as nutrition, never forget the origin of enlightenment, and improve themselves."
"Therefore, I have a faction, and my use of spells and mana control are far beyond ordinary monks, and I have learned the Great Dao of Fu Array as a teacher."
"Take the exorcism talisman as an example, if the ordinary monk can exert his very power, then the teacher can exert his twelve points of power, the gap is not in the mana, nor in the spell, but the perception of the rules of heaven and earth, Xi I have a school of secret scriptures, not only the spell is stronger, but also can use this to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, paving the way for the future to enter the supreme avenue, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone, so the method of cultivation of this sect is difficult first and then easy."
"I see."
According to Huang Chong's understanding, the general principle of this is also the same as martial arts, to put it bluntly, it is to attach importance to the foundation, just like cultivating the Four Elephants of Heaven's Will, this skill is based on one-finger Zen, if you can fully comprehend the mystery of One-Finger Zen, then in the future, practicing the Four Elephants of Heaven's Providence will get twice the result with half the effort.
On the contrary, if you only practice one-finger meditation without a detailed comprehension, and then you go to practice the Four Symbols of Providence, then you will get twice the result with half the effort, and the practice effect will be extremely poor.
The core of cultivation and enlightenment lies in understanding the rules of heaven and earth, especially to enter the realm of attaining the true realm, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, and finally to be able to turn the rules of heaven and earth for one's own use.
Liu Shifeng's meaning is that in the process of learning to draw spells and spells, you can't just follow the cat and draw the tiger, you must understand the rules contained in it, and never forget to improve your perception of the avenue.
This kind of operation may sound like a good problem, but in fact it violates the normal practice of the spiritual world.
The common sense in the cultivation world is that when a monk is cultivating, he should not forcibly comprehend the so-called "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth", but when he wants to enter the realm of attaining the true realm, he will concentrate his time and energy to slowly comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, in order to break through the realm and achieve the Great Dao in one fell swoop.
Therefore, only monks with superior talent and luck can attain enlightenment, while those monks who lack talent and luck may have to stop at the realm of spellless casting for the rest of their lives.
The school of mind, in the opposite direction, requires his disciples to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth while practicing spells at the beginning, so as to lay the foundation for breaking through and attaining the true truth of the Tao in the future.
Even, it can be thought that the reason why the Mind School wants to cultivate spells is just to better comprehend the Great Dao in order to pursue a higher realm.
In this way, the ideas of the Mindfulness School seem to be more advanced.
Not really!
The idea is just a theory, and the real difficulty lies in how to implement it.
This kind of cultivation method similar to the Xinyi Sect has not been thought about by the ancestors, but the difficulty lies in how to operate and how to cultivate.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
If a monk wants to practice spells while comprehending the Great Dao, such an efficiency is too slow, it is better to concentrate on drawing talismans, cultivating, and improving cultivation, and then slowly comprehend the Great Dao when the cultivation is enough in the future, not to mention that whether it is cultivating spells or comprehending the Dao, it is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, and if you don't do it well, it will make the monk go crazy.
The so-called "fish and bear's paw cannot be both", this is the reason.
So it's clear that the flow of mind must have its own unique approach.
"This Taoist book is left by the ancestor of this sect, Lu Dongbin, and has been passed down for thousands of years, when it was passed on to the teacher by my master, that is, your master, and now, the teacher will pass this secret book to you." As he spoke, Liu Shifeng held the book in both hands and handed it to Huang Chong.
This may be the most solemn time for the old man in Huang Chong's memory, when he wrote the name of the ancestor on the wooden board, he was not so solemn.
Huang Chong kowtowed first, then raised his hands and took the Taoist code handed by Liu Shifeng.
The paper used in this Taoist book is somewhat special, it is a special paper that Huang Chong has never seen, and there seems to be a mysterious fluctuation on the paper, which shows that this book is absolutely extraordinary, if it is really left by Lu Dongbin back then, it will be amazing.
In this plane, there are also eight immortals, but it is quite different from the legend of the eight immortals in the real world, the eight immortals in this plane are all the predecessors of the Maoshan faction, according to the version told by the old man to Huang Chong, among which Tie Guan Li and Lu Dongbin are the most legendary.
In the middle of the cover of the ancient book, four small characters are written in a small seal - Maoshan Taoist Dictionary.
"You must study this Taoist book carefully, and you must not leave it easily." Liu Shifeng emphasized.
"Yes, master!" Huang Chong said, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart - this old man, wouldn't he want to read books and understand by himself?
Facts have proved that Huang Chong's premonition was not wrong, as soon as his bad premonition arose, he heard Liu Shifeng say:
"This Taoist book, you can understand it yourself, and learn which one of the spells you think is suitable."
As he spoke, Liu Shifeng stretched out his hand, took out a relatively small book of thread-bound books from his arms, stuffed it to Huang Chong and said: "This records some of the experience of being a teacher, as well as the opinions left by the seniors of the teacher, you can refer to it yourself." ”
"......" Huang Chong took the book, and couldn't help but complain in his heart - should you be so casual.
"Also, these two books are very precious, you should take good care of them." Liu Shifeng said.
“……”
Shouldn't you come up with something like "if you don't understand, ask again"?
In theory, it may be necessary, but there is a gap between the ideal and the reality, and it is clear that the ideal is beautiful and the reality is cruel.
"Master, is it really good for you to stock like this?" Huang Chong couldn't help but complain.
"This is the teacher's trust in you, and I believe that with your talent and qualifications, there will be no problem." Liu Shifeng waved his hand and said with a look of great belief in Huang Chong.
“……”
Huang Chong felt that he should thank the old man for his trust.
"By the way, you have been staying here since you apprenticed to the teacher, and you haven't seen the time, and after you are familiar with the Taoist scriptures, you will go out to live with A-Ying for a period of time, and also see the world by the way, if there is anything you don't understand, let A-Ying guide you, he is true, and it is more than enough to guide you, but you must remember what the teacher said, and you can't indulge in high-strength spells." Liu Shifeng looked at Huang Chong and said, his tone was quite serious.
"Yes, master, then you are alone in Yizhuang......"
"Why, do you think I'm really a bad old man who is a dying old man, the old man has been here longer than you have lived, what are you worried about!" Liu Shifeng said.
"Oh."
"Remember, I have to ask your Senior Brother Lin for advice."
"Yes, master!" Huang Chong said.
I don't know why, Huang Chong has a kind of uneasiness in his heart, but where does this uneasiness come from?
Is it because I will encounter some calamity when I go out this time?
"It seems that I have to take a surprise attack recently, see if I can learn a spell or two, and I can also use it for self-defense when the time comes." Huang Chong looked at the Dao Dian in his hand and thought in his heart.
This plane is different from the previous Jianghu plane, in the Jianghu plane, the opponents are all people, even if Huang Chong's strength is not good, he can deal with it by various other means, this plane, the opponent is strange, no one knows what strange things will be, if you don't learn some spells to defend yourself, you really don't worry.
