Volume 1: Tianyi Gate Chapter 47: The Sword Trick is Nameless
The old man continued: "But don't worry, that demon is too powerful, only I can kill her, so I don't need you to make a move." All you need to do is plant the peach tree and bring her in. ”
Only then did Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er understand why the old man asked the two of them to come in and plant peach trees.
The old man said: "What you are most concerned about is, of course, whether you can go out afterwards." I can't guarantee that right now. To activate the formation to get out, it takes a lot of cultivation to lose, and I don't know if I can help you get out after killing that demon. Back then, this formation was laid out to trap this demon, so it was easy to get in, but it was even more difficult to get out than to ascend to the sky. If you had come five years earlier, I would have been able to pack a ticket for you to get out, but now, my old man has no bottom in his heart. However, as long as you are here, you will be absolutely safe, and I am still confident in this. ”
"Okay, that's all for tonight, and I'll teach you to practice tomorrow. If you want to plant that thousand-year-old peach tree, your skills are far from enough. We only have half a year, so I'm going to force you to practice hard, don't complain. ”
After saying that, let the two go back to rest.
Early the next morning, Xiao Cotton Jacket called Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er to the Scripture Pavilion.
As soon as the two arrived, the old man had been waiting for a long time.
I saw him holding a worn-out scroll in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "You are all ethereal roots, I will pass on the supreme divine skill of this sect 'Nameless Sword Technique' to you today." ”
Fang Buyi said: "This door? Grandpa, aren't you a senior of Tianyimen? ”
The old man said, "Haha, did you just guess it?" I'm afraid my brain isn't very bright. ”
Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er were both taken aback, but when they thought about it, since this old man had lived in the secret formation of Tiandu Peak for hundreds of years, who else could it be besides the predecessors of Tianyi Sect?
The old man said: "Not only that, but I, like you, have an ethereal root, don't you see it?" ”
Fang Buyi said: "The old man is our savior, how dare we spy on the old man's spiritual root privately?" ”
The old man said, "Hehe, what's there to see?" Boy, I'm just like this little girl, just a half-ethereal spiritual root. Among the three, your spiritual root is the purest. ”
Fang Buyi said: "Don't dare, grandpa, in fact, I have always been very distressed about my spiritual root, but I am afraid that I will not have anything to do with cultivation for the rest of my life." ”
The old man said; "Well, it's no wonder that I can't practice any offensive spells, and when I was young, I would have to frown all day. But boy, wait until I'm done, and you'll know the benefits of this pure ethereal root. ”
"The reason why you are distressed is because you have misunderstood the monasticism. It's not that you don't have a relationship with the Tao, but in fact you have a great relationship. Do you think, why did we cultivators come here after spending decades or hundreds of years of hard work and cultivating the Dao? Isn't it to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao? Therefore, enlightenment is the foundation, and magic is only a minutiae. ”
"Don't envy those so-called monks who call the wind and thunder, move mountains and seas, and have strong spells. Although their spells are powerful, they are often contrary to the Great Dao, and the deeper they fall into it, the more they are in the opposite direction, and the farther and farther away from the Great Dao. ”
Fang Buyi nodded, feeling that it was very similar to the truth that his father taught him when he was a child, and the more he listened, the more he became fascinated.
The old man continued: "Therefore, the heavens have given you this ethereal root so that you can stay away from all the side ways and details, and do not be confused by the so-called spells, and concentrate on cultivating the true path!" You say, this is not a great fate, what is it? ”
Fang Buyi suddenly realized: "I see! Thank you grandfather for teaching, the boy has to listen to the Tao, what a joy! ”
The old man said again: "Boy, you don't have to thank me. Although you have an excellent path, my old man is not capable of teaching you, but he will greatly harm you. When you think about it later, don't blame me, my old man will be satisfied. ”
Fang Buyi said: "Why did the old man say that? ”
The old man said: "Because I want to teach you dozens of extremely powerful spells, so that you can fight invincible opponents all over the world, so sacrifice your roots and teach you to get farther and farther away from the avenue, don't you think this will greatly harm you?" ”
Fang Buyi said: "Grandpa's words are serious. ”
The old man said, "No, no, what I said is true. You are very talented, and if you follow me, you can be said to be a tyrannical thing. If my master is still alive and knows that I teach you magic and misunderstands your preaching, you must kill me. Hey, I can't help it...... If you had been born thousands of years earlier, and you had Master Protector, you wouldn't have to learn the spells of this Raushzi and waste time. ”
The old man said again: "Fortunately, I am going to pass on your "Nameless Sword Technique" today, which will also help the cultivation of the Tao, and it is not a great crime. ”
"The reason why this "Nameless Sword Technique" is 'nameless' is really meaningful."
"That's the ancestor of this sect reminding us not to forget that the Great Dao is the foundation. The avenue is invisible, what is the name? Why do you need a name? The cultivation of this "Nameless Sword Technique" is the same, the original intention is to make us forget the name of swordsmanship, not to be bound by swordsmanship, so that we lose the original intention of cultivation. ”
Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er said: "I see. ”
The old man saw that the two of them had an understanding, so he said: "Very good, you can understand this meaning, then I will pass on your "Nameless Sword Technique", and you can still get by on your conscience!" Although you are not from this sect, this "Nameless Sword Technique" has always only been passed on to people who are destined, and my old man has never paid attention to the difference between sects. ”
Fang Buyi heard this: "Grandpa, please forgive the kid for being presumptuous!" I want to worship my grandfather as a teacher, and I implore him to agree! ”
The old man said: "Hahahaha! This is not necessary, you have worshiped me as a teacher, if you can go out in the future, I am afraid that it will cause you a lot of trouble! You and I have the reality of master and apprentice, and you regard me as a master in your heart, so it doesn't matter if you have the name of master and apprentice! ”
Fang Buyi thought about it, as long as he had this master in his heart, it didn't matter what the name of the master and apprentice was. Like Qu Changsheng and Uncle Beggo, although they have the name of master and apprentice, they have no master-apprentice feelings, so don't want the title of master and apprentice.
The old man unfolded the scroll and told the two of them to read it one by one, read one paragraph after another, and explain one paragraph after another, only seeking refinement and not more.
This "Nameless Sword Technique" begins with the clear meaning of advocating emptiness and nothingness.
Fang Buyi and Jiang Liu'er read aloud: "Daoist, there is no name. All things in heaven and earth are based on nothing. The formless and nameless is also the ancestor of all things. All things in heaven and earth give birth to gods in the void, and they are angry in the quiet...... When you know the vacuum, the source of your nature is clear, you have no thoughts, you don't do anything, and you don't move, that is, the body of the Tao ......"
After the two finished reading, the old man explained on his behalf.
It turns out that this "Nameless Sword Technique" is divided into two parts: exercises and swordsmanship. The exercises are the foundation of the swordsmanship, and without the exercises, the swordsmanship cannot be used.
The exercises contained therein, which advocate nothingness and are ethereal, are especially suitable for those with ethereal roots, and Fang Buyi is the best person to practice them.
According to the old man, this exercise can greatly increase the capacity of the dantian of the two. A semi-ethereal spirit root like Jiang Liu'er could also be five or six times higher, or even ten times higher, than an ordinary monk of the same period.
And Fang Buyi, if he practices this exercise to the extreme, his dantian will become an "inexhaustible house" and "an inexhaustible warehouse", which can store almost unlimited spiritual power.
It's just that even if he reaches such a realm, he still can't practice offensive spells, and the old man said that this can't be changed.
But the old man said mysteriously that he had a magic method that allowed Fang Buyi to use powerful offensive spells.
