Chapter 53: The Meditation of Authenticity
Speaking of which, Shen Chengping has not returned to the Quanzhen Sect for several years, he has been staying on Peach Blossom Island all these years, and by the way he helped deal with some things in the Jiangnan of the Quanzhen Sect, when he was in the desert, Ma Yu once told Shen Chengping to go back and see, so it is reasonable that Shen Chengping needs to return to the Quanzhen Sect.
When he arrived at the Chongyang Palace of Zhongnan Mountain, Shen Chengping found that the development of the Quanzhen Sect over the years was indeed extremely rapid, and he was only reading the information before, but what he saw with his own eyes today was that the Chongyang Palace had expanded several times compared to the beginning, and the main hall had been rebuilt, and hundreds of disciples were practicing boxing in the vast martial arts arena, at this time Ma Yu was still in the desert to guide Guo Jing, and did not return, and there were several senior brothers in retreat, and it was Hao Datong who was responsible for daily affairs.
It is really dangerous to recuperate from such a serious injury in Zhongdu, so even if the injury is not healed, Shen Chengping still brought Qiu Chuji back to Chongyang Palace to recuperate from his injuries, and settled Qiu Chuji, Shen Chengping also stayed in Chongyang Palace to practice, and practiced every day to participate in the Taoist Sutra, which is to instruct the inner disciples, and now there are more than 100 inner disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, but there is no one of the true disciples, this is also because the kung fu of these inner disciples has not arrived, after all, the true disciples can be said to be the core of the sect. Whether it is qualifications, temperament, and wisdom, the requirements are extremely high, and there is one outstanding among the inner disciples, but it still needs to be observed and tested.
After returning to Chongyang Palace, Shen Chengping lived in the back mountain, and the place where he lived was also specially arranged and built by Ma Yu, Shen Chengping became more and more quiet as his cultivation deepened, so unlike the old naughty boy who now mixes with those adopted orphans all day long, Shen Chengping likes to be disturbed here every day by few people.
After lunch, Shen Chengping was dressed in a thin white silk shirt, loose and appropriate, and was reading leisurely in the gazebo in the courtyard. What I saw was neither the Taoist scriptures nor the subset of the scriptures and history, but the book of Qihuang Medicine, in the world of laughter, Shen Chengping had accepted Ping's fingers, and then read the book of medicine collected by the palace.
It's just that Shen Chengping still lacks a lot of practice after all, and later got the guidance of Huang Yaoshi, and after a lot of practice, now he has a very deep grasp of medical books, as the so-called medicine and martial arts are not separated, learning this medical skill is also of great help to Shen Chengping's cultivation, especially the creation of Neijiaquan, if it is not for Shen Chengping's medical skills to a certain level, even if there is an innate spiritual sense that can sense his own wonder, it is difficult to complete it within a few years.
Shen Chengping reads a lot of things, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, soldiers, law, history, medicine, ink, agriculture, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal and so on three religions and nine streams of classics, and even a variety of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, architecture and tea art skills and cultivation books, most of which are Shen Chengping in the world of Xiaoao Huang family collection, Shen Chengping relied on the spirit of strong, ideas and thinking fast, dozens of hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, so he took the trouble to read all kinds of books, learn from the wisdom of the predecessors.
Fortunately, with his ability to never forget, he can also keep these classics in mind, and at this time he will take them out to read and comprehend, and absorb the wisdom of them bit by bit, and even by chance, he can also have an epiphany or two from it!
The sound of light footsteps from far to near outside the courtyard, Shen Chengping does not need to use his mental deliberate sensing, but also from the unique constant frequency implied in the footsteps, the voice, smile, and every move of the person who suddenly appears in his mind.
This is not some kind of talent or supernatural ability, but a certain level of cultivation, the natural transcendent reaction of the spiritual sense, very subtle, like a supernatural power.
Buddhism has the Heavenly Eye, the Heavenly Ear, the Heart, the Fate, the Wishful Wish, the Leakage and so on, but the root of it is just the Tao, the Buddha cultivators in the practice. With the ascension of the realm of cultivation. Breaking all kinds of visible and invisible shackles, self-conscious, physical and mental transparency, and naturally open the magical spiritual consciousness or ability. It comes with fate and varies from person to person.
Self-cultivation of one's own body and mind is fundamental. Magical abilities are only minutiae, as long as the cultivation is reached, all supernatural changes are naturally possessed, if there is a strong division of what supernatural powers, in fact, it is already phased. If you want to specialize in cultivating a certain supernatural power, it is also fishing for the moon in the water. Even if you barely succeed in cultivating, it will be half the effort, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Therefore, a truly successful monk or a virtuous monk, even if he awakens some kind of supernatural power in his practice. I rarely boast about it, and I don't care about it, only some half a bucket of water that doesn't know the essence of cultivation will be obsessed with what supernatural powers, and over time, the Tao will not advance but retreat, and the farther away from supernatural powers.
Hearing the footsteps stop outside the courtyard, Shen Chengping said: "Since you are here, don't hide it, you can't hide it from me with your light skills!" ”
"Hmph, how long are your guy's ears, my ancient tomb has been completed, five steps away, the master can't even notice me, why haven't I approached yet, you heard it!" A crisp voice came from outside the courtyard, and then I saw a picturesque, about fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl stepping into the courtyard gate, came to Shen Chengping, and said with a slight pout.
"Hehe, if you want to hide it from me, you are still far away!" Shen Chengping put the medical book in his hand on the stone table in the pavilion, looked at the girl in front of him and said, "You girl, as a senior sister of the Tomb Sect, don't practice well, come to me all day long to mess around, don't be kicked out of the sect by your master at that time!" ”
"Hmph, Master likes me, and said that he will soon pass on my Tomb School's most profound martial arts "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra", and when I finish practicing, I must make this guy look good!"
Shen Chengping looked at Li Mochou and said in his heart: "I didn't expect Li Mochou's master to actually pass on the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to her, but this is normal, Li Mochou's qualifications are extremely good, plus he has been practicing very diligently over the years, and the entry of martial arts is not slow, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires two people to practice at the same time, and the Ancient Tomb Sect has also accepted a few inner disciples into the ancient tomb over the years, but the martial arts entry is far worse than Li Mochou's, so now it is most suitable for them to practice together with their master and apprentice." ”
Thinking of this, Shen Chengping said to Li Mochou: "If you want to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, you will inevitably need my Quanzhen School's internal strength and mental method, and then I will hand over this mental method to you, and you can take it to your master!" ”
Not only according to the plot, he has long been laughing at the world, Shen Chengping has obtained the heart method of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and naturally knows that if he wants to practice this martial art, there are three steps, the first part is to learn all the martial arts of the ancient tomb school, the second is to learn the martial arts of the Quanzhen school, and the third is to start practicing this martial art.
It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as Shen Chengping finished speaking, he saw Li Mochou suddenly staring at himself with big eyes, looking at himself vigilantly, and said: "How do you know that cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires the internal strength of your Quanzhen Sect, could it be that you have secretly learned the martial arts of my Tomb Sect!" ”
Seeing Li Mochou ask, Shen Chengping secretly said badly: "Oh, I was negligent, and as a result, this little girl became suspicious, don't have any misunderstanding!" ”
