Chapter 34: The Nine Secrets of Xuantong
The two of them came to a secluded place in the garden, and a few delicate side dishes had already been placed under a stone pavilion, which was fresh and delicious. After lunch, we took a stroll through the garden. Eleven couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery in this garden again, and when he saw the wonders, he couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. The scenery in this garden is not only incomparably beautiful, but the arrangement of the various places seems to be in harmony with the chess theory. When the ancestor saw that Eleven was in a trance, he didn't disturb him and left, but he didn't know why. Eleven noticed it, but if he wanted to come to the master's affairs, he didn't have to ask, so he also took care of the beautiful scenery in the garden. However, after a while, the master also came back and talked with Eleven about the wonders of the garden. A flower and a tree in this garden are planted and cultivated by the second uncle who has nothing to do, and the second uncle is an excellent garden wood art flower and plant. The rockery in the garden is also quarried on the island, either naturally or carefully carved. The garden is very quiet, except for the sound of the two talking, it is the gurgling water, the birds and insects. The two walked a little further, returned to the house, and began to talk again.
As they talked, the two of them talked about cultivating the Tao and practicing the arts.
Eleventh went down the mountain this time, and the few treasures given to him by the withered real people were all wonderful and difficult to find in the world. Seeing this, the ancestor sighed: "It seems that the real person has already understood the mystery, otherwise he would not have taught him so much!"
After listening to this, Eleven thought about it and didn't know the deep meaning, Eleven was very intelligent, and he was very familiar with things, but many things from a long time ago were unknown, so he naturally didn't know what the two elders meant.
"What do you think is the use of this magical method?" Shi Zu looked at Eleven and asked.
"Every man has his own usefulness, and he has made good use of chivalrous deeds, helping the needy, and saving people in times of danger. It is not good to harm others, bully and bully" Eleven said this, but his heart was already a hundred times and a thousand times, and he suddenly remembered that if it wasn't for his own poor ability, he would not have made Xiaoting's parents die in vain, if it weren't for this martial arts supernatural power, it would not have been Nan Renshui Leper and these people to harm one party.
Shi Zu nodded and said, "Anything is a double-edged sword. Good and bad are just a thin line at first. But when a line is taken, there is a thousand deviations behind. ”
Eleven took a deep breath, as if he had just returned from his memories, looked at the kind eyes of his master and asked, "If people's hearts are good, and there is no greed, but there is still fighting?"
Shi Zu smiled and said: "Child, if it is as you said, then it is not the people's heart! The nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages cannot be violated, and it cannot be violated. Everything is good and bad, good to the extreme, is the beginning of bad, bad to the extreme, there is the germination of good. There will always be a day when you are oppressed, and there will always be a day when you stand on a high platform and you will be pushed down. ”
The two talked about such a philosophy for a while, and then they talked about how to cultivate.
On the occasion of the eleventh day of the mountain, Kukuren Zhenren gave him two books on cultivation, and these days, he studied them by himself. Although Eleven is very intelligent, he has never made sense of this mysterious truth. Now I will bring some of the incomprehensions in the book with the ancestor one by one, and the ancestor will already understand it after a little explanation of the eleventh, so that many of the previous incomprehensions have been opened.
Seeing the several supreme treasures granted to Eleven by the withered real person, the master already understood the deep meaning of the real person, so he wanted to pass on the two great learnings he had studied in his life to Eleven.
If you can cultivate it in your lifetime, as long as you circulate the qi of immortality in the meridians of the whole body every day, you can freeze your appearance, voice, and physical strength at that age, and no longer age. The master's cultivation of the secret of life is already in the twilight of life, with white hair and white beard.
In addition to the secret of longevity, it is the nine secrets of Xuantong that I have studied for many years, and this nine tips of Xuantong were originally the beginning of the acquaintance between the master and the withered real person, and the withered real person was passed on to the ancestor. At that time, there were only four tricks, and the power and difficulty of them were naturally much worse than the nine tricks. Later, through his own study, the master evolved the four recipes and created the nine recipes. For thousands of years, the withered real people have only focused on the game of heaven and earth, where to pay attention to these. In the two books that were passed down in Eleven, the capacity, the communication, and the transformation were also limited to the four tips. The many wonderful uses of treasures are naturally greatly reduced. If the nine tricks are integrated, plus the wonders of a few artifacts themselves, they can really shake the heavens and the earth. However, the cultivation of this Xuantong Nine Secrets is that no matter how good the qualifications are, it is easy to cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years. There is no quick way to achieve the nine tips of Xuantong, and the first eight tips also have written formulas, which can be achieved after a long time of diligent study. However, these eight secrets are also different from each other. The cultivation of the ninth trick is to become the eighth trick after the practice, when you integrate and penetrate, according to the characteristics of your own acupoints and meridians, plus your own understanding, the reminders and perceptions of others are sometimes not only not beneficial, but will cause the cultivator to go mad. If it is said that a person is already in his twilight years when he cultivates the recipe for longevity, then it will take a thousand years to cultivate the Eight Tricks of Xuantong. And the ninth trick is even more difficult, and some people spend their lives in vain.
The first three tips of the Xuantong Nine Recipes are mainly self-cultivation and basic cultivation. It is to train a person's body to an ethereal state, and when it is practiced, it will feel that the body is light and the internal organs are hollow. The first three tips are like building a secret room for yourself to store treasures, how much treasure can be stored in the future, not only to determine the amount of treasure obtained by your own efforts, if so, how much you get, you only need to be diligent enough to hide more, until the secret room is full, and the amount of treasure is determined by the size of the secret room. The qualifications of a cultivator are like the materials used to build a house, and the height limits of what can be built are naturally different for different materials. If it is the same material, compared to the height, it depends on the firmness of the foundation, the deeper the foundation, the higher the floor can be built. Some people cultivate, although they have good talents, but their temperament is too anxious, and the three tips are quickly completed, but although the secret room is built, they are anxious to seek the treasure and not to see their own ability, and the space of the secret room can be expanded even more. Therefore, after the same eight recipes are completed, everyone's achievements and skills are also uneven.
In the eyes of cultivators, everything has a spirit, even if it is an ordinary stone, there is also the spirit of stone, the stone is earth, one of the five elements, and the fourth trick is to refine the magic weapon to an ethereal state. The fifth method of merging things is to turn the things refined in the fourth method into one with one's own body, and in battle, it is a brother who fights side by side with the cultivators, never betrays, and depends on each other for their lives. The four-five-two trick is a threshold. After all, the first three tips are cultivating one's own body, so it is also kind to be psychic. However, some people have never been able to find a suitable one, and it is naturally difficult for them to pass through it. There are also many people on the island who have given up refining. About eleven in front of the hall empty-handed boxing.
The sixth method of refining qi is to transform ordinary things in the eyes of ordinary people, such as light, fire, heat, cold, wind, water, qi, etc., into a magical force. Some people are based on fire, and when they make moves, they are very hot, and some people are based on the wind, and their movements come and go like the wind.
The seventh trick is called Qi Storage, and the Qi that has been refined, that is, the treasure that you have found, is stored in that secret room. Instilled that mysterious qi in the body and in the magic weapon.
The eighth trick is to use qi, get the treasure, how to use it, is the last great problem. If you use it well, you will be able to transform it into magic, and if you use it badly, it will be as usual. These are based on personal preference, and the method of making a move. You can learn that. Just like a piece of iron, it can become a kitchen knife in the hands of a chef, a sickle in the hands of a farmer, and a sword in the hands of a samurai if it is tempered a thousand times. See how you use it, see what your purpose is?
Legend of the ninth trick can use qi endlessly, or use it in transfiguration, and in the end, only those who have practiced the eighth trick to the extreme can know.
These two great learnings, all the disciples who enter the island, those with slightly better talents will major in the longevity formula, and the Xuantong Nine Techniques will assist in the study. In this way, you will have a long time to cultivate the Nine Secrets of Xuantong in the future. However, the poor qualifications are the opposite, majoring in the nine tricks of Xuantong, assisted by the recipe of longevity, because the study of the recipe of longevity, if you can't reach a certain qualification, no matter how diligent you are, you can't make a breakthrough, and the life span of people is not waiting for anyone, so the recipe for longevity only learns the basics, breathes and breathes, and activates the meridians slowly, and its effect can only last for decades.
The ancestor taught these two great learnings one by one to Eleven, Eleven was wise, and quickly memorized the mantra. The meaning is naturally bitter and difficult to understand, but it will be achieved over time. But thinking about what the two seniors said about the chess game, it seems that what they have done will not be delayed. If you want to learn this, it will be a long time ago, and when I think of this, I can't help but have some doubts on my face. Seeing Eleven's expression, the master already understood what he meant, so he said: "You have become the fifth of the nine tricks of Xuantong, and you can learn from the sixth trick." ”
When Eleven heard this, he looked at his master and said, "I have learned these principles for the first time today, how can I have already learned the five tips?"
The master nodded and smiled: "The ethereal thread of clothes given to you by the withered real person is a supreme treasure. Today I ordered Yun Shang to invite you to come, deliberately let him run quickly when he descended the peak, and then I asked him how your pace was, and I already knew your ethereal state. Eleven heard the ancestor say this, remembering the morning, when Yun Shang invited the situation, if he was really in a hurry to see the ancestor, he would not only be as fast as when he went down the peak, but he slowed down in the garden in front of the palace, and now that he thinks about it, it turns out that the ancestor intended to try him.
"After wearing the ethereal, with your own study these days, the first three tips have been completed, and the qi that can be contained in this ethereal line is endless, like the vast sky of the vast field, which can be used endlessly. The earthly life given to you by the real person has long been one with you, and even any few magic weapons in the cultivation of the Xuantong Nine Secrets cannot achieve such a fusion. Naturally, the fourth and fifth tips do not need to be practiced again. Shi Zu said.
Eleven smiled and said, "I see. ”
Shizu looked at the sky outside the window, talked with Eleven again, and when it was time to eat, they went to dinner together, and when they were done, Eleven said goodbye, and walked quickly to the Little Thumb Peak alone.
