Chapter 9: Taoism
"Taoism is the principle of the changes of heaven and earth, and the wonderful ...... of all things in nature"
With the old man's explanation, Zuo Qingcang slowly understood that the so-called Dao Techniques in this world were not the same as the Dao Techniques he knew in the previous world.
It is more akin to a kind of knowledge that summarizes the laws of heaven and earth. It can be said that it is the science of this world, but because of the difference between the environment and the human body, Taoism seems more mysterious and weird.
It is said that in ancient times, everyone had supernatural powers. Everyone is born with the ability to swallow water and fire, call wind and rain, and so on. It can be said that it was an era when everyone became a god and a demon, and a battle of a dozen people was enough to overturn the river and the sea, and the mountains and rivers changed.
"It's a pity that such days are gone, with the change of the years and the change of the environment, the spiritual power between heaven and earth has gradually become scarce, and human beings have gradually lost their supernatural powers, and we have become weaker and weaker."
When the old man was halfway through speaking, he suddenly laughed again: "But some wise people in the human race are not reconciled, they are not willing to lose their strength, with their efforts, after countless sacrifices and dedication, they finally found the mystery of supernatural powers, and created a way for human beings to cultivate and regain mastery of supernatural powers." And this method is called Taoism. ”
"And the source of Taoism comes from spiritual power. All things are born with spirits, and every thing in this world is dissipating spiritual power at every moment, and Taoism is able to make the human body absorb these spiritual powers, and then wield special powers. ”
"However, although all things have spirits, not every kind of spiritual power can be easily absorbed. Most Taoist techniques still absorb spiritual power through the power of light, fire, and electricity, and the organs that humans can absorb spiritual power are called life clusters. ”
"Because of the weakening of the spiritual power between heaven and earth, the human lifeline gradually degenerated, and finally lost its ability. And the first step in Dao cultivation is to cultivate the Destiny Cluster. ”
Zuo Qingcang was repairing the bricks while listening to the old man's explanation. When I heard this paragraph of spiritual power and life congregation, I couldn't help but have thoughts.
After all, he is not a native of Daqi, he comes from a modern world with advanced technology. So when he heard the principle of Daojutsu, he couldn't help but start guessing the scientific principle in it. Especially when he heard that everything in the world was constantly releasing spiritual power, he thought of radiation.
'An object in nature, as long as the temperature is above zero absolute temperature, constantly transmits heat in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles, and this way of transmitting energy is called radiation.
This description of spiritual power is too similar to radiation. If it is really radiation, then the so-called life cluster is an organ that has evolved here to absorb radiation. However, due to changes in the environment, this organ has degenerated, and the first purpose of Taoism is not to reverse this degradation through cultivation. ’
Although there are some scientific speculations about the so-called Taoism in his heart, Zuo Qingcang naturally can't say it, after all, what he has done is just speculation, if you want to really confirm the essence of Taoism, then I am afraid you have to have an in-depth understanding of Taoism, and then there will be various tests and testing instruments.
"It's a pity that although the Guò Dao technique can reactivate the life cluster, there are still fewer and fewer life clusters on the human body, and in the end, most mortals don't even have the life cluster on their bodies."
The old man on the side naturally didn't know that so many thoughts flashed through Zuo Qingcang's mind, so he just continued: "In the ancient gods and demons era, there were a total of 1o24 types of life clusters recorded on the human body. Most people are born with more than 10 life clusters on their bodies.
However, in the Middle Ages, although Taoism flourished, and the entire Central Plains was ruled by various Taoist sects, with the degradation of the life cluster, the supernatural power was lost, and there were only more than 400 kinds of recorded life clusters. Most people are born without a life cluster, and those who have seven or eight life clusters are already cultivators.
After that, when the Western Wei Dynasty was the first to unify the Central Plains, there were only more than 200 lives recorded by the various sects. Those who can have two or three life clusters are already rare cultivators. ”
Zuo Qingcang nodded and motioned for the old man to continue.
"The life cong is the source of human beings' use of spiritual power, and different life congregations have different cultivation methods, which can exercise different supernatural powers and Taoist techniques. But at the beginning, it must be to induce the life cluster, activate the life cluster, and finally light up the life cluster, only by cultivating the life cluster to the apex, can you continue to cultivate the Heavenly Palace, build the galaxy, build the golden bridge, and so on. ”
"Refining the life cong, cultivating the heavenly palace, building the galaxy, and building the golden bridge?" Zuo Qingcang nodded and said, "So the most essential and basic thing of Dao is to absorb spiritual power through the Guò Life Cong, and then use spiritual power as the driving force to perform Dao Technique?" ”
"Yes, but before the life cong reaches the 'no leakage', the spiritual power contained in the human body is too weak, and all the Dao techniques must be enhanced with the help of the power of the present world before they can be cast, and only after the life refining cong reaches the realm of no leakage, can the Dao technique be cast out of thin air."
Zuo Qingcang asked, "Like the blink of an eye you just cast to make a fire, it was just performed out of thin air, right?" ”
The old man lowered his head embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed, I apprenticed to the Taoist master at the age of five, and decades have passed, and now I can only reach the realm of not leaking." What a shame on the ancestors and ancestors. ”
"Well, now is not the time to sigh." Zuo Qingcang asked: "You mean that the spiritual power is big enough to be able to perform the Dao technique out of thin air, so when the spiritual power is small, do you need to use the materials of the real world to run the Dao technique?" ”
"Yes, if the spiritual power is a flame, then the magic material is a basin of black oil, and after pouring it, it can make the flame more vigorous, and the effect of the spiritual power will be amplified. Therefore, in addition to cultivating oneself to a high level, a Taoist priest must also have advanced knowledge and be able to skillfully know the physical properties of various materials in order to be able to cast spells.
Because even if you reach a level that does not leak or even higher, you can cast spells out of thin air, but the rational use of materials and various means, and even the use of weather, terrain, etc., can amplify the power of Dao techniques. ”
Zuo Qingcang thought of a question: "So does this cemetery also use spiritual power?" If we cut off his spiritual power supply, we won't be able to destroy the Great Array. ”
"No, ordinary people can only absorb the weakest spiritual power little by little, but a high and profound array like the Moving Star and the Eternal Array, which often uses the great power of the sun and the earth, like this tomb, borrows the power of the submarine volcano, to use this power, not only to cultivate to the sky, but also to have extensive knowledge, as long as this large array of moving stars and easy to stay is still running, every step of it is carefully calculated, once we destroy it, if we lead to an earthquake volcano, it will be a certain death, The danger is a hundred times greater than opening a coffin. ”
"Understood." At this moment, Zuo Qingcang said seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, have you ever heard of a Taoist book called "Fire Divine Guide"? ”
"Fire Spirit?" The old man shook his head with a confused expression: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Zuo Qingcang nodded: "Is that so." He thought to himself: "Then the contents of that package are all materials for performing Dao techniques, but he hasn't heard of it......"
"All in all, you can take advantage of this time to learn Taoism and related knowledge, which will be of great help to us to get out of trouble here, as well as martial arts, you can also practice it, and when the time comes, you can escape a little faster......"
"Martial arts and Taoism can't be practiced overnight." Zuo Qingcang was a little skeptical, and according to the martial arts that Liu Zhicheng practiced in the Zhenbei Army in his mind, there was no difference between them and modern fighting techniques, and he didn't think there was anything to practice. On the contrary, it was Dao Technique, which sounded more like a combination of special functions and chemistry and physics, and he was very interested. But I'm afraid it can't be practiced overnight, not to mention that he doesn't know whether he or Liu Zhicheng has a fate.
"Hehe, you'll know this later, although this is a Jedi, it has a unique advantage in cultivating Dao and martial arts. As long as you have a life bush. ”
When the old man said this, but now Zuo Qingcang didn't answer himself, and when he really felt a little strange, he suddenly stared at Zuo Qingcang's eyes and looked at his back. His face turned pale, and he said in a panic: "Hey, don't scare me, there's nothing behind me." ”
"Nothing." Before the old man could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Zuo Qingcang continue: "But have you appeared, the voice below seems to be getting louder and louder." ”
What Zuo Qingcang said was the one who made him go underground in the first place, with a gurgling sound. At first, the two of them speculated that it might be the flow of water, falling rocks, or the sound of some kind of mechanism.
But now when the old man heard Zuo Qingcang say that, his heart jumped: "It seems that the voice has really become a little louder." ”
"There's something down there." Zuo Qingcang's face turned cold: "I don't know what it is, but this thing is approaching us." He walked towards the cave, but it was less than a meter in diameter, and it was pitch black, so he couldn't see anything at all.
"You come and seal this hole back with me." Listening to the gurgling sound getting closer and closer, Zuo Qingcang's face changed, and he shouted to the old man on the side.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and immediately went up to help, and the two of them put back the heads that Zuo Qingcang had pried open one by one. The old man asked with a frightened expression, "Could it be that this hole really leads to the main burial chamber, and there should be something climbing up?" ”
"You're so timid, how did you live here for so long." Zuo Qingcang said while busy: "I don't know which of these two caves leads to the outside and which leads to the bottom, and it may be that some animals have come in outside." ”
"Anyway, seal the hole first."
The two of them grabbed the moment and quickly swung the brick back into place. After it was resealed, the gurgling sound seemed to be much softer.
Just as the old man breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Qingcang stood up and walked towards the bronze carving on the side.
"What are you going to do?"
"Who knows if there is something that wants to come up" Zuo Qingcang pushed the statue: "Help me, let's use this statue to press on the entrance of the cave, it should be no problem." ”
The statue looked to be a man tall and a warrior in battle armor. Just as the two of them pushed the statue a little bit, the gurgling sound under their feet suddenly became urgent.
"What's going on!"
"Push!"
Just by listening to the sound getting faster and louder, you could clearly feel that something was approaching. Just before the two of them could push the statue onto the entrance of the cave, there was a bang, and a blue brick was poked out from the bottom, revealing a dark hole.
