Chapter 50: The Tao Te Ching
The area of the ancient Xuan Taoist Academy is very large, in addition to the public teaching area, library pavilion, talisman skin, rune ink and other refining rooms, it is a manor-like courtyard, including the Taoist disciples who have just entered the Taoist Academy, all have their own independent courtyards.
As the deputy master of the Ancient Xuan Dao Academy, Ling Anqi's courtyard was very large, occupying almost one-tenth of the area of the entire island, and there were all kinds of refining rooms in it.
Under the introduction of He Yueming, Lin Le learned that the West Courtyard was the best courtyard where Dao Tong lived, with a total of ten small courtyards, large and small.
Every small courtyard, no, when Lin Le walked into one of the courtyards, he found that the courtyard in front of him was one-third the size of the Lin family's manor in the Wind Bamboo Forest, and such a courtyard was still called a small courtyard?
Garden lakes, rockery lawns, and courtyards are picturesque.
In addition to living rooms such as bedrooms, there are also cultivation rooms, utility rooms, and small refining rooms in the courtyard.
Lin Le was secretly shocked, and secretly saw He Yueming's accustomed look, and he once again felt the nobility and extraordinariness of the cultivators in this world.
On Earth, he had followed the old man to the home of a billionaire, and the manor villa of the billionaire who was shocked at the beginning was now nothing compared to the small courtyard in front of him.
And it's just a small courtyard!
Although the cultivator was in an indifferent state of mind, and Lin Le was not a materialistic person, the contrast between the two worlds still made him sigh secretly.
"Lin Le, Master really likes you, there are a total of three medicine gardens in the Ancient Xuan Dao Academy, and the management of the medicine garden was originally taken care of by senior Dao Tong, but I didn't expect it to be given to you directly, you don't want to live up to Master's expectations for you!" When leaving, He Yueming couldn't help but say again.
Lin Le said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely redouble my efforts!"
"I believe in you!" He Yueming nodded, and then smiled, "There is not much age difference between you and me, you don't call me a son, a child, you can call me Senior Brother Ming in the future, how about I call you Senior Brother Le?"
Lin Le was stunned, he didn't expect He Yueming to take the initiative to show favor to him, but he was not a hypocritical person, so he nodded and said, "Lin Le has seen Senior Brother Ming." ”
Lin Le's cheerfulness made He Yueming look at it even higher, and secretly said that the other party was really not a willing mediocre person, and Yueming smiled: "Okay, Senior Brother Le, that senior brother will go first, you sort out your personal affairs first, and tomorrow morning, I will take you to the medicine garden to hand over." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Ming, walk slowly. ”
After sending He Yueming away, Lin Le put down his personal belongings, and then walked into the cultivation room, the shock of the courtyard just now made him more determined to cultivate the Dao, and he expected to become stronger, so he couldn't wait to start his first cultivation after entering the Dao Academy.
The cultivation method that Ling Anqi gave him was the general exercise of the Ancient Xuandao Academy-"Ancient Xuandao Xuanjue", it is said that this exercise was originally from a Taoist tomb, but the second half was incomplete, so it was taken out and used as the cultivation method of the Ancient Xuandao Academy, and the Ancient Xuandao Academy was also named after it.
The remnants of the "Ancient Xuan Dao Xuan Jue" can only be cultivated up to the Six Realms of Transformation Qi, but even so, it is still a rare and superior cultivation technique, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of its ease of cultivation, it can surpass many full sets of cultivation exercises.
In this world, the Transformation Qi Realm and the Quenching Body Realm are two completely different realms, and the fundamental difference lies in the Dao spiritual power. But in Lin Le's eyes, in fact, the two are related, the qi of the quenching body realm is similar to the internal strength of the earth, and the spiritual power of the Dao is equivalent to cultivating from the acquired to the innate qi, which belongs to the innate qi.
When he was on Earth, while Lin Le followed the old Tao to learn various charms, he also had a detailed understanding of the Dao, if he was only tested from the theoretical aspect, he might have a deeper understanding than any cultivator in this world. But if it is changed to practice, he is a blank, after all, there are no real cultivators on the earth, and here, cultivators have formed a scale, and even derived the cultivation world.
Lin Le faintly felt that this world had some kind of internal connection with the earth, but his current level was not enough to reach it.
As soon as he opened the first page of "Ancient Xuandao Xuanjue", Lin Le had a familiar feeling, weren't the obscure words in it exactly the various Taoist scriptures that the old Taoist forced him to recite before?
For example, "God and its Qi, Qi is true together" and "out of the Xuan into the Xuan, if you die if you survive" are the sentences in the "Gaoshan Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra", and "Qi Hui Dan self-knot" and "Yin and Yang are repeated" are the words in "Lu Zu Baizi Tablet", as well as "Taishang Laojun said Changqing Jingjing" in "The heart is closed inside, the heart has no heart; the appearance of its form, the form has no shape; from a distance, there is nothing in the object" and so on.
In this way, isn't the most profound cultivation method the Tao Te Ching?
Thinking of this, Lin Le shook his head unconsciously, he had memorized the Tao Te Ching thousands of times, and he had already memorized it well, and there was nothing related to cultivation in it at all, if he had to say that there was, at most it was a cultivation state of mind.
For example, "Holding on to the profit is not as good as oneself; The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it, and he is rich and arrogant, and he is to blame. If you retire after success, the way of heaven is also. ”
Lin Le, who was reciting the ninth chapter of the Tao Te Ching in his mouth, suddenly shook his whole body, because he felt that the Dao spiritual power in his body was out of control in an instant, scurrying in his meridians, Lin Le was like a lightning strike, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Why does the silent recitation of the Tao Te Ching elicit a reaction from the spiritual power of the Tao?
Lin Le's mind was blank, and the huge shock made him half-resounding, but he couldn't help but have a strong thought in his heart.
Could it be that the Tao Te Ching is related to the cultivation of Dao spiritual power?
After a long time, Lin Le suppressed the rambling thoughts, calmed down, and put his mind back on the Tao Te Ching.
Next, he tried to recite the content of the Tao Te Ching several times, and the result was the same as the first time, and the Dao spiritual power immediately became like a wild horse on the loose, and the joy and wildness scurried in his body, rushing towards the level of the meridians.
Faintly, he had a glimmer of enlightenment.
"Tao Te Ching" should be a practice for cultivating Taoist spiritual power, and the eighty-one chapters of the first and second chapters are eighty-one cultivation mantras. The Dao spiritual power of himself has been running around several times, it should be that he has not cultivated from scratch, and his cross-level cultivation has caused the Dao spiritual power to be uncontrolled. Now it seems that I should start with the first chapter.
Thinking of this, Lin Le began to whisper the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless world. The mother of all things. Therefore, I often have no desire to see the wonder......"
The miracle that Lin Le expected really happened!
With his whispering, the Dao spiritual power in his body slowly began to flow in the meridians, just like a small stream, the trickling stream warmed every inch of the meridians, and the pure, ethereal feeling surrounded him at this moment.
Lin Le's mind instantly turned into nothingness, he inertly recited the Tao in his mouth, the whole person seemed to melt into the floor and the surrounding walls under him, no, not to melt in, but to cross, he felt as if he had come to the sky above the small courtyard, looking down on the entire small courtyard, the rich aura around him jumped happily, some even ran through his body into the distance, while some stayed in his body and merged with him.
Lin Le had forgotten that he was still cultivating, he was already completely immersed in this wonderful feeling that could not be expressed in words...
If the old man who taught Lin Le the Tao Te Ching was here, knowing Lin Le's state at this time, he would definitely jump up screaming, and then wave his hand with envy and hatred, and said insincerely: "Your kid's cultivation is also average." ”
Lin Le's state at this time was exactly the state of Dao heart clarity that countless Taoist monks dreamed of.
On the path of cultivation, talent is very important, but this talent does not refer to the speed at which Dao spiritual power increases when a cultivator cultivates, because even ordinary talents, as long as they work hard enough, and spend a little more time on Dao spiritual power, they can catch up with people with good talents.
Talent refers to the degree of comprehension of heaven and earth by a cultivator, that is, the so-called Dao heart, epiphany, etc., if there is not enough talent, even if the cultivator works hard to cultivate all his life, it will be difficult to break through the barrier and step into a higher and deeper realm.
For example, in the ancient Xuan Taoist Academy, many Taoist disciples of the Three Realms of Huaqi could not break through to the Four Realms of Huaqi in their lifetime and become real Taoists.
Lin Le's divine consciousness at this time was like a bird that came out of its cage, flying freely over the small courtyard, and it was not until it flew out of the house within a radius of 100 meters that he felt a trace of exhaustion.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Le reluctantly withdrew from the ethereal realm, when he looked at the Dao spiritual power in his body, he was startled, after such a while, the increase in Dao spiritual power was more than the sum of the previous ten days of cultivation!
Holding back the ecstasy in his heart, in order to determine the speed of cultivation of the Tao Te Ching, Lin Le began to cultivate the Ancient Xuandao Xuanjing again, and after the final comparison, he already had a clear concept in his heart.
If there is no Tao Sutra, only relying on the body itself to absorb the aura, and looking at the cultivation speed of the first ten days as one, then the cultivation speed of the "Ancient Xuandao Xuanjing" is five, and the cultivation speed of the "Tao Te Ching" is fifteen!
It is three times the size of the Ancient Xuandao Xuanjing!
And this is only an advantage in terms of Dao spiritual power, not to mention the clear heart and perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the "Tao Te Ching" does not know how many streets the "Ancient Xuan Dao Xuan Jing" has been thrown out.
Originally, after breaking through to the realm of transforming Qi and losing the effect of health cultivation, Lin Le still had some regrets, but at this moment, he was full of confidence again, with the Tao Te Ching, he would definitely go faster and farther than ordinary cultivators!
