Chapter 137: Sending Stones to Hide Soul Cards
Mao Xiaofang stood in front of Su Mo, looking at the other party's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, bowing slightly, and looking very satisfied on his face.
If ordinary people hear that they want to learn the Dao, they will be more or less excited and excited, even if he was the same back then, but Guan Su Mo's expression is as calm as water, and this heart alone is already stronger than many people.
In fact, of course, Su Mo was also very excited.
However, after being tempered by the Hong Kong world and being a triad leader for so long, he has long been able to be happy and angry, and his heart is far from being comparable to others.
"Now you have become a disciple of my Maoshan Heavenly Dao Sect, but before teaching you Taoist exercises, the teacher will also tell you about my Maoshan rules and precepts over the years, I hope you can remember it with your heart." Mao Xiaofang's face was as usual, and after slowly recounting dozens of Maoshan gate rules in his mouth, he stopped, and then glanced at Yu Dachu and them, "And you, remember it for me, don't make trouble for me all day long." ”
"Yes, master!"
Yu Dachu replied weakly.
"Have you all memorized the rules I just said?"
"Remember!"
Su Mo nodded, and replied with a serious expression, after having an extraordinary memory, he can remember anything quickly, almost without forgetting it, and there is no problem at all.
Mao Xiaofang looked at the three apprentices in front of him, he was very relieved about Su Mo, after all, he could remember all the details just by looking at himself once he played Maoshan Dao Boxing, and even he was very shocked by this talent, but when he saw Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu next to him, he also nodded, but when his eyes were a little dodgy, he couldn't help but say: "Since you remember it, then you repeat it in front of me!" ”
"......" Yu Dachu and Ma Xiaohai's faces were like constipation, and they stammered and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Mao Xiaofang shook his head, turned his head to look at Su Mo again, and then took out a thread-bound blue book from his arms, and said: "This is the cultivation method of my Maoshan Heavenly Dao School, and it also records in detail my Maoshan talisman formation, etc., you have to practice with your heart, remember to return me after reading it." ”
After Su Mo took the book excitedly, he began to flip it in front of Mao Xiaofang.
The cover of this book is just four words - Maoshan Taoism!
It's as simple as it gets.
And when Su Mo turned the first page, it was written 'good and evil, fight for life' eight big characters, this is also the first article of the Maoshan precept, all Maoshan Taoist priests should guard the right and the evil, subdue the demons and eliminate the demons as their own responsibility, so Su Mo was still a little surprised after seeing these words, and then carefully remembered it in his heart, and then slowly turned the next page.
Mao Xiaofang, who was on the side, saw Su Mo's subtle move and nodded secretly.
It doesn't matter if you have good talent or not, the most important thing is your heart.
If it is a person with improper skills, even if his talent is good, it is impossible to accept him as an apprentice, but if he is loyal and kind, even if he is a little less talented, it doesn't matter, like Ma Xiaohai, the big apprentice accepted by Mao Xiaofang, is this kind of person.
Now seeing Su Mo's move, Mao Xiaofang seemed very relieved, at least proving that he was not looking at the wrong person.
Holding the Maoshan Dao Method in his hand, after Su Mo opened the second page, he found that this was an exercise, called "Purple Qi Yun Ling Jue", which was an exercise that absorbed the purple qi in the early morning and incorporated it into himself, and then used to conceive and nourish the soul.
As a Taoist priest, cultivation is nothing more than two steps: practicing qi and nourishing the soul.
The so-called Qi cultivation is to refine and refine Qi, condense the essence and spirit of one's whole body to form mana, and then store it in the location of the Dantian Purple Mansion, the deeper the mana, the stronger the Dao technique that can be cast.
As for cultivating the soul, it is to conceive and nourish the soul, the cultivator uses the soul to sense the heaven and the earth, whether it is to draw talismans, arrange arrays, invite gods, or perform Taoist techniques, all need to use the soul, without this process, no matter how deep your mana is, it is just rootless water, useless.
It's like when you play a game, nurturing your soul is equivalent to learning skills, and mana is like a blue bar.
If you haven't even learned a skill, you won't be able to put a ultimate, no matter how many blue bars there are.
Su Mo quickly understood the main point of this, but when he continued to scroll down, he found that this so-called "Purple Qi Spiritual Technique" only had the part of practicing qi, and he didn't find the part of soul nourishment.
"Aren't you wondering, why are there no steps to nourish the soul in this book?" As if sensing Su Mo's confusion, Mao Xiaofang opened his mouth and smiled, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and only after seeing Su Mo nodding, he continued: "That's because even the teacher doesn't know the method of raising the soul." ”
"You don't even know Master?"
Hearing this, Su Mo raised his head and looked at Mao Xiaofang in some surprise.
"Now our era is called the end of the Dharma era by the people in the spiritual fantasy world, and the reason for this is not only because the aura between heaven and earth is becoming thinner and thinner, but more importantly, with the passage of time, those heavenly and earthly treasures that help us practice have been used by the sages, coupled with the change of dynasties, the endless wars, and the inheritance of many sects is also missing, and the exercises of our Maoshan Heavenly Dao School are missing a part, and the method of nourishing the soul is missing." Speaking of this, Mao Xiaofang sighed, his face a little more helpless.
"There's a part missing, that'...... So how should we practice? ”
Su Mo's face was a little ugly, but he quickly remembered that Mao Xiaofang could be called a zombie Dao leader, and he was definitely not a person who only practiced qi and did not cultivate souls, not to mention that he couldn't practice his advanced realm just by practicing qi, which showed that their Heavenly Dao sect's exercises should have the possibility of remedy.
"It is precisely because of the lack of a method of soul nourishment, so the patriarch of the Heavenly Dao School referred to countless sage classics, and then combined with what he had learned, he worked hard to create a method called 'Sending Stone Hidden Soul Table', with the principle of the five elements of mutual growth and mutual restraint, using the earth, mountains, rivers, sky and lakes to nurture our souls and help us complete the steps of soul nourishment.
However, there is also a drawback to this Sending Stone Hidden Soul Card, that is, all our cultivation is pinned on this Sending Stone Hidden Soul Card, once the Soul Card is destroyed, then we will lose all our skills.
Moreover, this method is not orthodox after all, and it is almost impossible to rely on this method to cultivate to a higher realm. Mao Xiaofang sighed, but there was no sadness on his face.
Those who cultivate the Tao should go with the flow and do nothing is the right way.
If you can't force it, why bother yourself.
Hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, Su Mo was a little silent, he didn't expect that Maoshan's exercises were actually missing to this point, and then Su Mo thought of the Zhuge family where he was located, this family that has been inherited for thousands of years, will there be a complete soul cultivation method?
Thinking of this, Su Mo made up his mind to go back and have a look when he had time in the future.
