Chapter 58: What is Practice?

"Sword Sect...... Of course it's awesome!" Old Man Li sighed lightly, silently lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "Not all Sword Sects are sword players, but all masters who enter the Dao with martial arts are classified as Sword Sects.

Although the Sword Sect and us monks have taken completely different paths, they are also powerful forces that they have gained through hard cultivation. ”

"I didn't expect the cultivation world to be so varied......" Zhang Chumo couldn't help but sigh. In the past, Zhang Chumo thought that this world was an ordinary world. Although ghosts can be seen, they seem to be in the same dimension as their real world.

But now, after Old Man Li opened a new door to Zhang Chumo, Zhang Chumo realized how little he knew about the world he knew.

"Master, there is one thing that the disciple does not know, since the master said that since the Spring and Autumn Period, the aura has almost dried up, so how has the master and others cultivated for so many years?

"How is it possible! But all monks, aura is the foundation of cultivation!" Old Man Li said again with a long sigh, "Before the Spring and Autumn Period, at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, there were still a few great powers in the land of Shenzhou.

Seeing that their spiritual energy was drying up day by day and unable to return to the sky, they had no choice but to set up a spirit gathering circle in the thirty-six blessed lands and seventy-two caves of heaven. In this way, the aura of heaven and earth is gathered, and the spirit stone is refined. Relying on these, we Qimen have ensured that the incense has been passed down to this day.

But now it's okay, the spiritual power has returned, and those difficult years are gone.

Originally, new disciples were required to do three years of miscellaneous work to examine their mental nature. But because I started observing you two years ago, although you inevitably have a snobbish heart in the red dust, but this is also the reason why the red dust is rendered, and the blame is not on you.

Moreover, you are in the light of merit, which is enough to prove that you are good in nature, so I also omitted this step to directly pass on the exercises of the Longhu Mountain lineage of you and me. ”

"Thank you, master!" Hearing this, Zhang Chumo suddenly blossomed and practiced...... Finally, I can officially embark on the path of cultivation.

"Mo'er, do you know my Heavenly Master's Dao lineage?"

"This ...... The disciples don't know much, they only know that the Heavenly Master Dao originated at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and was formerly known as the Five Dou Mi Sect......"

"That's pretty much the case, but tracing the source should be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period as a vein of Taoism, and then after the patriarch Zhang Daoling, another portal was opened to create the current Heavenly Master Dao. With the Tiangang Five Thunder Law resounding all over the world, although the Heavenly Master Dao is famous for the Thunder Law, but my Heavenly Master Dao is the real Fazong.

The law is the main thing, and the magic is supplemented, so the Tiangang Five Thunder has a great reputation, but you must not covet the power of the magic and go to the end. The natal exercise of my Heavenly Master Dao is Juyuan Shengong, which was born from the Jindan Avenue in ancient times, and is divided into two volumes.

In the first volume, all our disciples of Longhu Mountain can practice. The next volume is hidden in the Heavenly Master Dao General Sect of Longhu Mountain, and there are two conditions for cultivation, first, it must be a disciple of my Heavenly Master Dao. Second, it is necessary to cultivate the upper volume to the highest level. ”

"Then am I a descendant disciple...... Zhang Chumo was a little confused, because even outsiders know that the famous Heavenly Master Sect is inherited from father to son, and each generation of Heavenly Master is Zhang Daoling's bloodline. Even if his surname is Zhang, it has nothing to do with Heavenly Master Dao.

"You are my personal disciple, so you are naturally a descendant. ”

"But the master is not surnamed Zhang......"

"Who told you that the descendants of the descendants must have the surname Zhang? The ancestral master bloodline is only the best candidate for the Heavenly Master Dao Sect, but the descendants do not have this provision. Otherwise, how can one Patriarch be able to magnify the Heavenly Master's Dao?"

"Will that cause the branches to be strong and weak?" Zhang Chumo asked with some doubts.

"Heavenly Master Taoism is first and foremost Taoism, which emphasizes quiet and inaction. Don't bring the power in the red dust to the Heavenly Master Daomen, it is not easy for the senior brother, and he is struggling to maintain the sect alone.

Unlike us, the breeze on both sleeves can pat the ass and go down the mountain, and those who are willing to start a sect accept one or two disciples, and those who are unwilling to start a sect are so old and dead. But the senior brother can't, he can't let the Heavenly Master Dao break the inheritance. Therefore, compared to us, the life of the senior brother is even more difficult. ”

"That'...... If I meet the request to go to Longhu Mountain to ask for the next volume, will I be refused?"

"If there is really a disciple who is qualified to cultivate the next volume, it will be the first fortunate thing in the Heavenly Master Dao for thousands of years, do you know that no one in Longhu Mountain has ever been able to cultivate to the next volume for thousands of years, even when the ancestor master was back then, he only cultivated the first layer of the next volume. ”

"What, so difficult?" Zhang Chumo exclaimed with some surprise.

"Although there is a reason for the depletion of spiritual power, the breadth and profundity of the Gathering Source Divine Skill is also a big reason. Gathering the source of divine power, gathering the aura of heaven and earth in the body, while condensing the spiritual power, it is also changing the body.

Mo'er, speaking of which, I want to ask you a question. My generation of monks, what is the purpose of cultivating the Tao and cultivating the mind?"

"This ...... Get more power?" Zhang Chumo asked hesitantly.

Old man Li shook his head with a smile.

"That'...... Can it change the world?"

Old man Li still shook his head.

"Immortality?"

"Neither...... Now we call ourselves monks, but before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people like us called ourselves immortal cultivators or true cultivators. What we cultivate is immortals, and we are achieving immortals. What is the Immortal Dao? Powerful power, the supernatural power to change the heavens and the earth, or is it immortality?

That's when you look at immortals from a mortal's point of view, and in the eyes of mortals, immortals are like that. But in the eyes of the immortals, all they seek is freedom. ”

"Freedom?" Zhang Chumo chewed on these two words, which seemed to have a different kind of charm.

Heaven and earth are creatures, but all beings have been restricted from their freedom since they were born. Why is the life span of a man 100 years? Why can't man fly, why can't man lift a mountain? Why can't we go to the top of the clouds?

There are so many constraints that people find that there are too many problems to solve when they want to do anything. And the process of cultivation is the process of opening these limits step by step.

People may never be able to completely untie the limitations of their bodies, but the harvest of cultivation is the process of unraveling these limitations. Maybe at the end of your life, you may look at the restriction in front of you and ask, what if I lift this limit?

But when I look back, I will be satisfied when I see the restrictions that have been lifted behind me, and it turns out that I am not empty. This is what we get when we embark on the path of spiritual practice. ”

"Restriction, then do we cultivate immortals for freedom?"

"Almost!"

"Then what is an immortal, can we cultivate to an immortal?"

"Immortal is the ultimate of freedom, and we may not be able to reach the true immortal in a lifetime, but our ancestors still took a certain node of the cultivation path as the starting point of immortality. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Li slowly came to the side of the Taishi chair and sat down. Slowly shaking his head slowly, "Juyuan Divine Skill is rolled up, which is a mortal realm exercise, which is to conduct qi into the body and open up the dantian." Gather qi in the body and open up the eight veins of the strange meridians. Erect a flyover, gather the spirit at the top, return to the god and the soul, and separate the body and soul.

By the way, reaching this realm is the realm of entering the Tao that you heard before, being a teacher is to stop at this realm, and the same is true of Qin Xiao's female baby. ”

"What about the back, master, didn't you say that now the aura has returned? Maybe soon the master will be able to break through again......" Zhang Chumo hurriedly stepped forward and comforted.

"It's hard...... After 30 years of waste, I missed the best years, and I am already at this age, even if I can take another step, I can't do anything more. However, you and Qin Xiao are in a hurry, and they may be able to set foot in the many realms behind them in the future. ”
