Chapter IV. A new beginning
'Crunch' the door opened, into the eye is a row of swaying lotus canopy in the wind, quietly leaning in the small pool, the fruit is overflowing with a fragrance far and clear, the room is hung with a few landscape calligraphy and paintings, the room is placed all kinds of bonsai, the room that has not been inhabited for many years has been carefully sorted out, cleaned spotlessly.

"Master, you haven't come back for so many years, why is the room still ......" Before Qinqing finished speaking, Yixiu smiled and explained: "Oh, this room, I asked a young man next door to help me clean it regularly, so it has always been clean."
Sun Zhenhuan stood behind the two of them, looking around at the furnishings of the room, unlike Qin Jing, who was only observing cleanliness and hygiene, he was more feeling the seemingly absent force field in the room, which was a certain force that was invisible to the naked eye, and had been shrouded in the room.
Ikyu put down his crutches, took out two wooden barrels from the kitchen, carried them on his shoulders with a flat pole and said, "Qinqing, you pack up your things first, and I'll go to the river to pick up two buckets of water and come back."
"Oh, okay, master, go get busy" Qin Jing wrapped his headscarf around his forehead, tied a knot in the placket of his clothes, and began to clean up the house, Sun Zhenhuan put down the package when he saw this, and also picked up two buckets from the kitchen with a flat pole and followed behind Yixiu.
"Huh? Mr. Sun, what are you doing here, sit in the room and rest for a while" Yixiu looked at the flat burden that Sun Zhenhuan was carrying on his shoulders and was a little surprised. "Master, in the future, everyone will live together, don't call me Mr. Sun, just call me Xiaohuan, you came out to dive at such an old age, where am I embarrassed to sit in the house, it's better to come out together to carry water and move your muscles"
"Well, that's fine, but Xiaohuan, don't be so respectful and love the young, although I'm old, my heart is not old, and my body is still very tough, you treat me as a young man, that's the most loved, hahahaha"
Sun Zhenhuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, just do what the master says" Yixiu shook the flat burden on his shoulder, tilted his head and said: "Xiaohuan, I think your martial arts foundation is very good, why don't we compare our foot strength and see who goes to the waterhole first?" β
"This is good, but the master said that I should treat you as a peer, then I won't keep my hand, I will win later, you are not allowed to say that I bully the elderly" "Oops, it seems that you don't know that ginger is still old and spicy, I count three two one, ready"
Sun Zhenhuan stopped speaking when he heard this, and secretly exerted his strength under the operation of the internal force, just waiting for Yixiu to count down to three numbers, but he never expected that Yixiu looked at him sideways, and shouted in his mouth: "Three...... Begin! Sun Zhenhuan was stunned, in this moment of the lengshen, as soon as he pulled out his legs and ran, his feet on the ground like flying flowers and falling leaves in the wind, and there was not a single footprint on the wet muddy road, and after a while, Yixiu had already run out of a distance of dozens of meters!
"Master Ikkyu, you're cheating!" Sun Zhenhuan immediately made a decision, directly stepped into the air in one step, drove his body into a high-speed spiral state with internal force, minimized the friction and resistance of the air, and swooped down from the air at a faster speed, chasing the rushing Yixiu, and the light work of this spiral body is the spiral nine shadows recorded in the "Nine Yin True Scripture".
"Amitabha, what did you stinky boy grow up eating, and you caught up so quickly" Yixiu heard the wind whirring in his ears, and he didn't have to look back to know that it was Sun Zhenhuan who caught up. Yixiu, who didn't admit defeat, gritted his teeth, and his steps were a little faster: "Hey, I practiced the six magical powers of Buddhism hard, and I didn't expect that it would be used to bet with a junior today, it's really a sin, it's just a sin!" Divine Foot - Open! β
Yixiu turned on the Divine Foot Pass, and the speed was suddenly incredibly fast, and it seemed that he had taken more than a dozen steps one after another, and the sudden increase in speed surprised Sun Zhenhuan. "This monk is hanging, why is it suddenly so fast?"
Seeing that Yixiu's back was getting farther and farther away, and the distance between himself and the other party was also increasing, Sun Zhenhuan decided to urge another force, and directly flew in the air with Jin Yangong, and his figure floated in the clouds for half a day.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he glanced back at it pleasantly, but this glance scared him a lot. I saw Sun Zhenhuan jumping up and down, chasing after him with clever light skills, and judging that as long as it took three more breaths, he would be side by side with him. Ikyu sighed inwardly and stopped under a tree.
"Hey! Master, why did you stop halfway through? Sun Zhenhuan's body was fixed in the form of a goose returning, and he stood straight in front of Yixiu. Yixiu walked over, looked Sun Zhenhuan up and down again, and said quietly: "Unexpectedly, now that it has reached the era of the Republic of China, there are still people who have mastered such profound internal skills and light skills.
"National art...... That is to say, Huaxia has almost lost the cultivation method of internal strength, those magical effects of prolonging life, invulnerability, water and fire, the light skill of crossing the river and soaring among the clouds with a reed, killing tigers, leopards and dragon elephants, opening mountains and gravel with bare hands, flying flowers and picking leaves to kill the enemy in the air, have also been cut off, right?"
Yixiu looked up to the sky and sighed, put down the bucket from his shoulder, turned his back to Sun Zhenhuan and said: "Yes, I don't know when the internal power that was once endowed with great power has gradually lost its effect, and the internal force and true qi are becoming more and more difficult to condense, and then even those cheats have mysteriously disappeared, and the entire martial arts has completely declined." Nowadays, there are not as many pure martial artists as in ancient times, and most of them follow the route of combining Taoism and martial arts."
"Daowu unity? Master, can you tell me in detail about the current situation in the Huaxia cultivation world? Sun Zhenhuan stood on one foot, swept his right leg, and hovered violently in place, all the fallen leaves and gravel around him were swept away by the energy, and the ground within two feet was cleaned up. Then Sun Zhenhuan sat on the ground and made a gesture of invitation to Yixiu.
Yixiu sat down, the Buddha beads in his hand kept moving, and he was face to face with Sun Zhenhuan, silent with each other. After a while, Yixiu spoke: "Amitabha, Xiaohuan, you are a descendant of China, and you have a profound martial arts that has been lost for many years, and you can be regarded as a member of the Chinese cultivation world, although I don't know where you come from, but I feel that you have no bad intentions, so these are not the most confidential things, I'll tell you about it."
Sun Zhenhuan sat respectfully in place like a student studying in the school, and looked at Yixiu attentively: "Master, please speak, I will listen to you."
Ikyu smashed his mouth and touched the gray beard on his chin: "Where should this start...... In this way, I will first tell you about the current distribution of the Chinese cultivation world; The current Chinese cultivation world is roughly divided into two major sects, Taoism and Buddhism, in addition to scattered martial artists walking the world. Both Buddhism and Taoism are mainly practicing spells, supplemented by martial arts, while martial artists hope to reproduce the power and glory of ancient martial arts! However, the times are different, and now Shenzhou has been invaded by foreign powers, and the lives of the people in the world have been devastated.
Therefore, thirty years ago, representatives of various factions of Buddhism, Taoism and martial arts, and countless masters gathered in the imperial capital and made an agreement together, when fighting against the invaders, they must put aside all sectarian differences and personal grievances, and in addition to subduing demons and eliminating demons since ancient times to save the Li people, they must also fight against foreign enemies invading China, which is the most general situation in the Chinese cultivation world."
Sun Zhenhuan nodded, expressing understanding, Yixiu waited for him to digest this information, and continued: "What I just said is an overall overview, now I will explain it to you in detail" The voice paused, Yixiu organized the language, and said to Sun Zhenhuan: "Let's talk about martial artists first, as the name suggests, martial artists are a group of people who pursue martial arts, they are one of the main forces of the Chinese people to fight against foreign enemies, such as me, when I was young and did not escape into Buddhism, I was a martial artist, I still have such a strong body and mind at this age, In addition to cultivating spells, there is also this reason"
"I understand martial artists, and if necessary, I will also see what today's national arts are like, so master, what is the situation of Buddhism and Taoism? What's the spell I'm most curious about? β
Yixiu Heten smiled: "The national art has its own other mysteries, you are indeed worth learning, as for the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism and magic you asked, this is a bit complicated, I don't know too much, I still tell you about it by sect, so it is easier to understand"
Sun Zhenhuan sat closer, nodded and said, "You can come as much as you want, I have no opinion."
"Well, let me think about what to say...... First of all, let's talk about the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism and the distribution of personnel, Buddhism is currently based on Songshan Shaolin Temple and Luoyang White Horse Ancestral Garden, the former is mainly responsible for martial arts practice, mostly for secular miscellaneous matters and front-line battles against foreign powers, with all aspects of the Republic of China government's affairs, and Luoyang White Horse Ancestral Garden, is the headquarters of the entire Buddhist practice community, mainly responsible for Buddhist magic practice, talent selection, scheduling and planning management of various Buddhist monasteries in China, to put it simply, where there are demons and monsters to harm the common people, then it is responsible hereβ
Sun Zhenhuan suddenly realized: "It's really convenient to understand it like this, I understand, what about the Daomen?" β
"The situation of Daomen is actually similar, there is not much difference" Yixiu lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "The two headquarters of Daomen are the imperial capital Baiyun Temple and Hangu Guanzhan Zitai, the former bears the worldly sundries, cooperates with the Republic of China government to fight against foreign enemies invading China, etc., and Shaolin Temple is the same reason, and the latter ...... Xiaohuan, do you know the Taoist Lao Tzu? β
"Of course, I still know these people very well" Sun Zhenhuan secretly said in his heart Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, in order to understand this plane, I have to do this, I hope Lao Tzu, your old man, don't blame me.
Sun Zhenhuan's activities in his heart were unknown, and he said while thinking:
"Hanguguan is the place where Lao Tzu last appeared in the world, and the Tao Te Ching was also born here, so it later became the spiritual holy place of Taoism, and Zhan Zitai is an organization established by all Taoist masters, mainly responsible for all things in terms of magic, and the Buddhist White Horse Ancestral Garden, four words are summarized as subduing demons and eliminating demons"
Yixiu stretched his waist, and after jumping over the beads, he asked: "Finally, let's talk about spells, before I talk about them, Xiaohuan, let me ask you first, in your understanding, what is a spell?" β
Sun Zhenhuan was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the film and television works or literary books he had seen all the supernatural elements in his previous life, and organized the following language and said: "In my opinion, spells, like martial arts, are based on a certain powerful power of the human body, but the effects of spells are more, such as you can check what others are thinking, you can call the wind and rain to change astronomy and geography, you can also fly away from the mountains and seas, or immortality, the pursuit of the Great Dao and so on."
Yixiu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "Okay, good, you are really spiritual, your answer is largely the most common cognition of magic in the cultivation world, this answer is simply coincidence, just with your understanding and spirituality, you go to those sects to apprentice, they will definitely accept you"
Sun Zhenhuan also laughed on his face, but he was complaining in his heart: "I read so many novels in my last life, and I can't summarize more comprehensively and perfectly about spells, power, etc., so it's really not wrong to read more, and sooner or later I will use it."
Yixiu restrained his smile, suddenly lowered his tone, looked at Sun Zhenhuan seriously, and said: "However, I still have some details to tell you, this is very important and serious, you have to listen well!" You just guessed that 'spells are based on a powerful force of the human body', which is true, but it is incomplete! Strictly speaking, spells should be 'based on the human body, derived from heaven and earth'! β
"Based on the human body, from heaven and earth?" Sun Zhenhuan was engrossed, for fear of making a mistake, he looked at Yixiu's serious face, and asked solemnly: "These eight words, literally I can understand the meaning, what is the specific principle, please explain"
"The so-called based on the human body, originating from heaven and earth, is a fundamental interpretation of how magic can be truly realized, can be cast in reality, and achieve its due effect; Spells are indeed very mysterious, but you can't just guess, think, and think about it endlessly, but you should understand it rigorously and seriously, so that you can learn spells, master spells, and have mana! β
Suddenly, Yixiu stood up abruptly and shouted at Sun Zhenhuan:
"What I'm going to talk about next is the foundation of the cultivation of all things in the world, and the source of the birth of all spells and mana! Sun Zhenhuan, you have to swear that unless you are a person worthy of teaching, facing the right thing, you must not reveal half a sentence, otherwise you will be hit by five thunders, and you will never recover, and you will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and never be able to be reborn! β
Sun Zhenhuan immediately got up and swore with his palms facing the sky. Yixiu nodded and said, "Xiaohuan, this matter is too important, it is the foundation of the cultivation of teaching people to transcendent and holy, and we must be especially cautious!" And the cultivator swears no more than mortals, the heavens will feel it in the dark, if you break the oath, you will really be retribution, you must keep in mind! β
"Yes, I see, you can say it now"
"Well, yes, you listen."
Yixiu put away the Buddha beads, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "Based on the human body, it originates from heaven and earth, and it is the fundamental interpretation of the magic power." The so-called based on the human body refers to a sound person who has the essence and soul, and the essence and soul are intact, so that he can have the conditions for cultivating spells, otherwise you are a terminally ill or born with dementia, can you expect him to condense mana and practice spells? Speaking of originating from heaven and earth, there are many people in this world who are as sound and complete as Jiang Zhiqing, but how many people can cultivate mana and cast spells? Even the ratio of 1 in 10,000 is not an exaggeration! Do you know why? β
Sun Zhenhuan frowned, thought about it, and asked uncertainly, "Qualification restrictions?" Ikyu: "Then what is a qualification?" Some kind of peerless constitution? Or is it some organ created by heaven and earth? β
"This ...... Isn't qualification qualification, so that people can quickly and better cultivate mana, and the magic power is more powerful" Sun Zhenhuan recalled all the Xiuzhen Xianxia books he had read in his previous life, and then he was shocked to realize that reality is not reading novels after all, and many things will only come to mind when they are really faced.
Yixiu turned around and stroked the uncle in front of him, brushing the traces on the trunk of the tree with his palm, and he said slowly: "The so-called qualifications do include some super-ordinary people's physique or thinking, such as the innate Dao body of the Daomen, or the lotus body of Buddhism, this kind of person cultivates for thousands of miles a day, and others can only exert a powerful spell, which can exert a very powerful spell in their hands, and this kind of person is often called a genius!"
However, for many years, the cultivation world has not thought deeply about why these physiques are so suitable for cultivation and what truth is contained in them, just looking for this kind of person, and then taking it under the door, or devouring the other party, and using secret methods to seize the qualifications of this kind of person and use it for themselves, it is really sad to die, until now, at the moment of the fall of the Divine State, the thousand-year catastrophe, our cultivation world has begun to change our thinking, and we have begun to re-understand the cultivation itself with a more rigorous attitude."
"Between heaven and earth, there are countless kinds of powers that mortals can't imagine! Ten thousand thunderbolts are enough to split mountains and rivers, the earth's leylines are turbulent, the sea and land can be overturned, the sky can fall wind, fire, frost and snow, can destroy all the cities and fortresses in the world, and crush any strong cultivator, this kind of power is fascinating.
This kind of power is the rule between heaven and earth, and there are corresponding rules for the change of wind and clouds, there are corresponding rules for lightning explosions, and there are corresponding rules for flying away from heaven and earth. Mortals can communicate these forces between heaven and earth, use them for their own bodies, and use them to kill enemies, so they have to touch, blend, and resonate with this kind of rule, so that they can feel the rules of heaven and earth, so that the rules of heaven and earth can accept you, this is the so-called qualification, the original meaning of qualification, is to communicate the rules of heaven and earth, and cast those incredible powers, this power, that is, spells"
Sun Zhenhuan stayed in place, and said: "Master, let me summarize, what you mean is that a person has the kind of qualification that can communicate the rules of heaven and earth, so he can cast those thunder and lightning, wind and fire spells to subdue demons and demons, and the essence of the spell is to use the human body to release the power of heaven and earth, right?" β
"Yes, that's what it means to be based on the human body, from heaven and earth!"
"Therefore, for example, the thunder method of the Daomen Shenxiao Sect, in fact, it is not those people who have cultivated the thunder and lightning themselves, but only borrowed the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth. Spells such as Vajra in Buddhism are also based on some kind of rules, but in fact, people themselves do not have great power, right? β
"Yes, that's it"
With a bang, something in the deepest part of Sun Zhenhuan's heart completely collapsed.
"So, the cultivation I have pursued for so many years is actually just a form of commerce for mortals to borrow the power of heaven and earth? This...... This...... I can't accept it."
Sun Zhenhuan raised his head, looked at Yixiu and asked, "Master, can the magic of the world make people immortal and resurrect the dead?" β
Yixiu was stunned: "Xiaohuan, why do you think so?" Death is the end of all things, this is the fate arranged by heaven and earth for all beings, and magic is borrowed by people from heaven and earth. Since ancient times, there has been one thing known in the cultivation world, only immortality and resurrection are the two taboos that heaven and earth do not tolerate, and no one has ever been able to achieve it! β
Sun Zhenhuan began to despair, the truth of the spell is just like this, then his belief cannot be realized at all, and saving Ma Yu has become an eternal extravagant hope: "I don't believe it, the way of cultivating truth is just like this, there must be something wrong, there must be something wrong"
"Of course it's not right, you idiot! This principle only belongs to this plane, if you think about the saints of the desolation, is their power only with the help of heaven and earth? It's a shame that you're still a traverser, taking me to and from the heavens and all the worlds, why are you so stupid all of a sudden! β
Just when Sun Zhenhuan was stabilizing his mind, suddenly an unfamiliar voice sounded in his head, this voice could not hear men and women, only an ethereal meaning, which made people listen to it unreal.
"This voice! Who are you? You say I'll take you through ...... Are you a boundary breaker? Sun Zhenhuan closed his eyes, and his consciousness communicated with the Boundary Breaking Stone, but this time, no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to enter the space of the Boundary Breaking Stone.
"I'm going to sleep again to regain my strength, I don't have time to waste time with you idiot, your stupid thinking just now made me angry, don't think about entering me again within a year, give me a good reflection on myself, don't shake my Dao heart because of this kind of thing in the future"
"Hey, Xiaohuan, are you okay?" Yixiu's voice woke Sun Zhenhuan up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yixiu looking at himself with concern, Sun Zhenhuan's heart warmed, and he said to Yixiu: "Master, I'm fine, my head was in water for a while just now, and I was surrounded by a small problem, now I've figured it out."
"That's good, don't get water in your head, but now that the barrel has to get water, I'm done with what I need to say, let's hurry up and carry water."
"Okay!"
