Chapter 11 Chapter 49 Confucianism and Taoism

The self-contained world in the Sanxing Cave is divided into seventy-two peaks and thirty-six places, each of which has a unique wonder of celestial phenomena and a unique exercise that matches the local environment, for all disciples to learn at will.

Bodhi Ancestor would occasionally travel through various regions, and if he found someone who was diligent in his studies or talented and intelligent, he would secretly remind him or two. In fact, of the more than 400 disciples here, less than 20 have talked with Bodhi Ancestor.

Jia Xin was more diligent than ordinary disciples on weekdays, and walked through seventy-two peaks and thirty-six places. It's just that in every scene, he has no clue about the key in his hand, Jia Xin has never seen where there is a stone door, or the thatched hut and thatched hut need to be opened with such a stone key.

"In this blessed land, the only place that is different is this bamboo pavilion that can only be brought by the master's guidance. Wait a minute, Master didn't take the chessboard away this time......"

Jia Xin returned to the chessboard position and looked at the entire chess game, and already saw some clues in his mind.

The location of the bamboo pavilion is located on the mountainside branch of the forty-ninth peak, and the chess game in front of him seems to tell Jia Xin a special way to move.

"These forty-nine peaks seem to have something inside, help the master put away the chessboard. This forty-ninth peak is the place where the disciples in the sect do not like to come to the most, and there is a stone tablet of exercises at the top of the mountain, which is engraved with a basic exercise "Wild Bull Strength Technique".

From the brief introduction of the content, it seems that it is a practice that has no threshold and requires diligent practice, and according to the above instructions, it will take hundreds of years to practice it all. And what I get is only the tempering of the body, and it does not help the consciousness or the soul in any way. Even the less gifted don't want to waste the world on this. ”

Jia Xin came to the top of the forty-ninth peak with chess and cards, and the weeds on the top of the mountain were about to cover the stone tablet engraved with "The Powerful Trick of the Wild Bull".

Jia Xin naturally didn't waste time on this, but put down the chessboard next to the stone stele.

"Master actually deliberately lost to me this time, I didn't expect that there was something inside these forty-nine peaks."

Jia Xin walked to the edge of the cliff. Ning Shen took a quiet step and stepped out into the air in front of him, and unexpectedly shone under his feet, revealing a square stone slab carrying Jia Xin's body.

"The next directions are Li, Kan, Zhen, Qian, Gen, Dui, Xun, and Kun."

According to the information left on the chessboard, Jia Xin performed the direction of the eight trigrams, stepped on the invisible stone slab in the air, walked through the thick white mist, and the real land appeared under his feet.

In front of you stood a huge and majestic mountain. Jia Xin estimated that he was on the mountainside, and facing him was a huge mountain gate, and the small hole in the center of the mountain gate naturally corresponded to the stone key in Jia Xin's hand.

"Master Bodhi is proficient in the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, but he teaches others the practice of Buddha or Taoism on weekdays, and never mentions Confucianism. The mountain gate in front of you, if you guess correctly, I am afraid that there is something about Confucianism inside. ”

Jia Xin used the stone key in his hand to turn the lock on the mountain gate. The sound of a large number of mechanisms was linked, and a dark and indiscernible cave appeared in front of Jia Xin.

Jia Xin naturally didn't care about anything, and stepped into it.

"Boom!"

As Jia Xin stepped in, the door behind him suddenly closed, and no one could enter or exit.

The dark interior of the cavern seemed to sense the entry of life, and a series of fires began to light up on the surrounding walls. The spherical cavern is huge in the light of thousands of torches, but there are a large number of well-preserved pictures on the rock faces.

"Could these be the lessons left by Master Bodhi when he was deeply aware of Confucianism and Taoism? In the previous sparring, I survived the catastrophe. The perfect body forged by the divine thunder, coupled with the complete fusion of the Buddha nature of the King of Jizo with my own Dao thoughts. Although there is a gap in strength compared to the Bodhi Ancestor, it should not be impossible to touch even a trace of the master's hair. ”

Now it seems that the answer is here...... Confucianism, cultivating the mind, it turns out that the reason why the master values the disciple's heart is because of this. ”

For Jia Xin now, the road of cultivating immortals has ended, and now he is embarking on his own path of enlightenment. Want to go further down the avenue. The deeper, most important thing is the training of the mind.

And the core of Confucianism is the cultivation of the heart.

Compared with Zhang Chen, who is completely on a different path from Jia Xin, in the "Body Phage Heart Codex", the last part of the first volume is mainly based on the heart, and only by abandoning all distracting thoughts in the heart. Only those who have a deep understanding are qualified to continue their cultivation at a deeper level, otherwise the pace of progress will become slower and slower, and they will even go astray in the path.

"Do you know why the teacher built the road leading to here on the forty-ninth peak?" At this time, a kind and peaceful old man's voice came from the cave, and the figure of Bodhi Ancestor gradually emerged in the center of the cave.

"The secret should be in the stone tablet engraved with the "Wild Bull Strength Technique", right?"

"It's really hard for you to do anything, you used to be a teacher and you were a talented and clumsy boy, you can't learn anything, so you have to work day and night with this "Wild Bull Strength Technique", if you want to have a strong body that can kill demons and demons. Five hours a day are spent sleeping, and the rest of the day is spent practicing. ”

"I have been insisting on 581 years, and I have finally refined all the "Wild Bull Strength". However, when the teacher came back to his senses, those who were at the same time as the teacher were all in the loess because of their age, but the teacher was still strong and in the prime of life. In the whole boring exercise, there are still some other people's ideas generated. ”

So immediately these thoughts were carved out inside a cave, finger by finger...... When the teacher has the current level, he will also move the simplest exercises in the world here, and move the cave where he once carved enlightenment for the teacher. ”

"The stele engraved with the Brute Bull's Strength Trick is made of Zero Fetal Stone, which is extremely hard. If there is a disciple who is as stupid as the teacher and learns this exercise to the Mahayana, he can break the entire stone tablet with one palm and get the key inside, and come to this place. It's just a pity that no one has been able to refine it. ”

After hearing this, Jia Xin suddenly realized, but he didn't expect that there was such a story behind this, "I see, why did Master let me in, a person who is not qualified at all?" ”

"Hey...... Times are changing, and teachers can't stick to one rule. This Confucianism and Taoism is the most valuable lineage of the teacher's own lineage, and now that the vision inside the zero room has appeared, I am afraid that it will usher in a catastrophe of 7,000 years. It would be a pity if the teacher died and no one inherited this thing. ”

"You are a genius that my Bodhi Ancestor has never seen, but your heart is too sharp. It is also a great fate for you and me to meet in this last period, and it is also satisfying to pass on this thought to you as a teacher. ”

At the end of Bodhi Ancestor's words, his figure disappeared, and Jia Xin walked to the center of the cave and sat cross-legged.

"There are a total of 9981 pictures on the surrounding walls, and 3,240 pictures can be derived from two by two, telling a story. Now, let me take a closer look at the story. ”

…………

The black carriage was moving in a desert area full of wind and sand, and the speed seemed to be much slower than the previous hurry.

Because it already belongs to the scope of the Wai Realm here, but this place is located directly north of the Wo Realm, and it is called Desert Sand. As the name suggests, there are no building cities here, and if there are creatures, they are just low-level creatures that have been ostracized by the Meow Realm.

It took three weeks for the carriage to travel and finally reached the edge of the world yesterday, but Zhang Chen, who was sitting in a carriage with Elizabeth, never woke up.

In the course of the journey, several inferior creatures with only mouths on their faces and bodies as thin as bones due to long-term hunger would emerge from under the sand.

It was only the moment these things approached the carriage, and the body immediately turned into a trip of black, muddy pus scattered on the sand dunes.

The clown next to him will dip his fingers in the black substance and suck it in his mouth as he passes by. This scene made Elizabeth, who was walking in front, feel very disgusted.

"This taste...... It's strange, is this woman a prison envoy? ”

The clown is also quite interested in Elizabeth's true identity, and at the same time, the clown's vision often falls on Guan Ran, and the other party obviously has a slight change in his heart when he enters this desert.

However, because Zhang Chen was not awake for the time being, everyone's actions could only be slowed down, and they were all in this desert before Zhang Chen woke up. After all, the vision of the torture will not affect this no-man's land.

"More than 3,000 meters ahead, at two o'clock, there is an oasis. When I was exiled here, I relied on the oasis to keep my heart from being devoured by the ** of the ghosts, and everyone could rest there for a while. ”

At this time, Guan Ran, who was walking behind, muttered softly.

Although Elizabeth greatly dislikes and trusts this guy, the desert here is really uncomfortable for outsiders, as if every grain of sand is made of tooth powder from the corpses of creatures in the meadow realm, and Elizabeth feels uncomfortable all over her body after just one day of walking here, and so does Gu Chen.

According to Guan Ran, there was really an oasis at the indicated location.

"The oasis has a certain enchantment, and ordinary ghosts can't enter it. As long as we break the barrier, we can rest inside until Zhang Chen wakes up. You can also replenish some water inside, and the water sources and plants in the realm are very similar to those in the human world. ”

However, as Elizabeth cautiously stepped out of the carriage and observed the enchantment of the oasis ahead.

A grim smile appeared on Guan Ran's cheeks on the side, and the whole person was not rejected by the enchantment, and immediately disappeared into the enchantment...... (To be continued.) )
