Chapter 17 The Supreme Mind
On this day, Xuanmeng climbed several more peaks and passed through several valleys. In the evening, the body became heavier and heavier, the headache was cracking, and it was really impossible to climb the peak and cross the valley, and finally came to the halfway point of a mountain peak, and saw a big stone cave, so he slowly walked into it by holding on to the stone wall.
The entrance of this cave is not large, but when you walk in, the cave is very open. There is a big stone on the back wall of the hole, there are two zhang high, there is a small pool on the stone, only listen to the sound of "Ding Dong" and "Ding Dong" endlessly, such as the pearl falling on the jade plate, crisp and pleasant, it was originally the water drop on the top of the hole, drip into the pool on the big stone along the stone wall. Hearing the sound of tinkling water, Xuan Meng's mouth was dry.
At this time, it was early summer, the weather was very hot, Xuanmeng had not taken a drop of water for several hours, and his whole body was hot, so he wanted to take some water and drink it. But this boulder is very high, the wall is like a cliff, and there is no place for tentacles, so I have to sit down and be stunned at the boulder. Listening to the sound of water above in his ears, but the fire in his belly was dry, he didn't feel irritated in his heart, picked up the branch in his hand, poked hard at the cave wall against the big stone, and said indignantly: "What the hell is the place, there is water, but there is no drink." Before he finished speaking, he froze, and it turned out that the branch in his hand was inserted into the stone wall, three inches deep.
Xuanmeng's heart was strange, and he touched the place where the branch was inserted with his hand, and it was very soft, and then poked it with the branch, revealing a small hole, which could still accommodate his feet. When I looked closely, I realized that it had been chiseled out by someone, and after a long time, it was filled with foreign objects. Looking closely at the top of the stone wall, there are faintly a few small places with different colors from the stone wall, and I poked it with the branches in my hand, and they all fell in.
He was anxious to drink water, but before he could think about it, he used his hands and feet together, kicked these recesses, and slowly climbed to the top of the boulder. I saw that the spring water on the stone was clear and transparent, and it was very cute, so I leaned over and picked up the water and hurriedly sent it to my mouth. But when he felt that his mouth was sweet, he drank a lot of elixir, and when he was full, he washed his face with water, took out dry food from his bosom, lay on his back on a big stone, and put it in his mouth to chew. Before he had eaten half of it, he fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Xuanmeng woke up, only to feel that his limbs were scattered, his cheeks were hot, his eyelids were heavy, and he felt weak when he wanted to open his eyes. The god was sad for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you die, you must find Kexin." I opened my eyes vigorously, held on to the stone wall, and was about to get up, but suddenly saw that the top of the stone wall was bright, with a radius of less than a foot.
Xuanmeng couldn't help but be surprised, he had obviously entered a stone cave just now, and the cave was dark and gloomy, why was there light on the stone wall now? At this time, it should also be night, there was no daylight to shine, could it be that I had overslept? Propped himself up and looked at this stone cave again. I saw that in the stone cave, there were several rays of light flying vertically and horizontally, interspersed with it, and finally concentrated on the stone wall overhead. Looking in the direction of the light, it turned out to shoot out from the recess that Shicai stepped on, a total of nine channels, nine recesses.
Gazing at each of the nine recesses, there is a small stone cave through the stone wall, through which the light shines through. He just took out the foreign object in it, and these few thin holes were not completely blocked, but when the wind blew, they penetrated again, and the light from the outside penetrated through. Today is the fifteenth day of April, the moonlight is bright, hanging in the southeast direction, and the nine thin holes are also facing the southeast direction. After these nine rays of moonlight passed through the stone wall, they shone on a large stone in the northwest corner that was concave inward, and this concave boulder reflected the nine rays of light diagonally upwards on the stone wall overhead, forming a glossy surface with a radius of less than a foot.
Xuanmeng saw the ins and outs, and secretly sighed which predecessor was really ingenious and skillful in the creation of nature. I also knew that there must be something strange about the content on this glossy surface, so I raised my face and looked at it carefully. This cave is three zhang high, although Xuanmeng is only thirteen or fourteen years old, the height is not short, this big stone is more than two zhang high, this head is not three feet away from the top of the stone wall. Xuanmeng stared at it, and saw that it was densely filled with small characters, although it was only one foot square, there were more than a thousand words. The word is like a fly and an insect, deep into the stone, and there are many coverings on the word, which is obviously very old, and I don't know how many generations and calamities have passed.
Xuanmeng took off his shirt, lifted it with a branch, and rubbed it on the smooth surface a few times, the floating object fell, and the handwriting was faintly visible. He stared at it carefully, only to see that it was written: "The world is turbid, the heart of fame and fortune is getting heavier, and the heart of the Tao is getting farther and farther. Leave this heart to show fate. ”
When Xuanmeng saw this, he knew that it was another secret method, but he didn't know how this method was better than Taiyi's secret method. Looking down again, "If a person who has the root of the Tao in this mental method obtains it, he will become an immortal and become holy, take off the mortal womb, and live with heaven and earth, which is the Taoist method of multiplying the mind." Xuanmeng remembered that the Taiyi Secret Recipe had this subordinate sentence at the beginning, and secretly said, could it be that this mental method is higher than the other mental method? This exercise is not divided into levels, there is only one kind of mental method, but the requirements are high, and he repeatedly stated later: "The practitioner should go to the ordinary mind, extinguish desires, in order to seek the ethereal, and then collect the essence of all things in heaven and earth, enter my body, and hide it in the viscera." "This exercise, unlike the Taiyi exercise, requires a variety of postures, any posture can be practiced, to reach a certain realm, regardless of night and day, can be practiced naturally, the true air flow throughout the body. One of them also said, "Ordinary people practice the exercises, and when they wake up, their skills are nine times out of ten, and my mental method is to remove this big drawback, so the day is superior." ”
Xuanmeng roughly read the mental method, and knew that it was a peerless secret, claiming to be superior, maybe even above the Taiyi secret. There are a few sentences at the end of the Dharma: "Those who are for the Tao are losing day by day, and they are losing again and again, so that they do nothing, and they do nothing." All things are one, it is the beauty of the magic, the evil is the rot, the rot is magical, the magic is the rot, so the day: the world is one breath, the saint is one noble. "The word Guangchengzi.
Xuanmeng didn't know much about these words, like the scriptures that Mr. Liu talked about before, he didn't investigate deeply, and said in his heart: "This senior is probably called Guangchengzi, I don't know what age he is." He said to keep this method to show that there is fate, and I happened to find it today, I don't know if it is the fate he called. Now Kexin doesn't know where to go, I have only learned one layer of Taiyi's secrets, and if you want to find Kexin, save Kexin, and avenge your dead parents in the future, you must learn a good kung fu. Taiyi secrets can't be practiced, it seems that only by practicing the secrets left by predecessors, maybe you can also practice a Taiyi secret. Thinking of this, I looked up at the mental method on the stone wall again, and comprehended and memorized it with my heart. Fortunately, the words of this exercise are not as profound as the last few sentences, and in less than an hour, they have already comprehended the same, and they have memorized some words and phrases that they do not understand, so that they can be understood in the future.
He had not practiced for many days, and after calming down, he sat cross-legged on the boulder and acted according to his luck. He has practiced the Taiyi Mental Method, and with a foundation, he is extremely quick to collect his mind, and in less than half an hour, he has really entered the realm of this mental method.
After a long time, Fang slowly finished his work, and his luck flowed through the meridians and veins of the body, only to feel that his heart and body were comfortable, and the original situation of fatigue and headache was actually much better.
Xuanmeng didn't know that the reason why he was sick was because of excessive sadness and anxiety in the past few days, the rise of liver fire, and the damage of heart meridians. If he can continue to practice the Taiyi Heart Method every day, he will never fall ill, because it is also an authentic Qi cultivation kung fu, which helps to correct and eliminate evil, and eliminates all diseases. It's just that he is blindly looking for Kexin, how can he have the heart to practice. This Guangcheng mental method, and far above Taiyi, when he was in danger, he suddenly saw it, forgot Kexin for a while, concentrated on practicing, and achieved great results, and the illness was six out of ten.
There is another thing, Xuanmeng does not know, this Qi cultivation Kung Fu, there are thousands of exercises, if you have never practiced, choose any one, there is no harm, but if you have learned a mental method, and go to practice another, and the way of the exercises is completely different, the light is the damage to the five organs, the heavy is to go crazy, it is really a taboo to practice, unless there is a Master to guide you, there are teachers and friends to take care of you, you can get through the difficulties. And Xuanmeng has never been instructed by anyone, and he doesn't know this kind of taboo, so he suddenly encountered this mental method, and he practiced it in a daze. Fortunately, this kind of exercise is of the same origin as the Taiyi exercise, and Xuanmeng's practice of the Taiyi exercise is not too deep, and he was confused to get through this difficulty.
