Chapter 437: Foundation and Signpost! Leave a mark on the world that is uniquely mine
Fang Ze asked, "Elder Xu has studied this very deeply, why does this imprint have to be left at the level of the half-step method?" ”
Elder Xu really knew a lot about this.
He said: "This involves the level of the law phase, I see that the notes left by the predecessors all mention one point, that is, once the level of the law phase is entered, there will be a huge amount of knowledge directly poured into their minds, this is the information that exists between the avenue of heaven and earth, although the avenue is simple, but if it is really understood, in fact, the knowledge contained in it, I don't know how much is beyond human wisdom." ”
"And if a person wants to bear such an impact, he must have a fundamental point of foothold, too weak a foundation, then he will be dissipated by the spirit of the Great Dao, not to mention to understand the Great Dao, to understand the Great Dao, the whole person's own traces, and the spirit will be completely washed away."
"Therefore, people with weak foundations, people who have not left anything profound in this world, then their foundation is too weak, and under this weakness, even if they have the ability and opportunity to step into the Dharma Phase, they will become living dead when they step into the Dharma Phase."
Fang Ze felt a little more understanding after listening to it.
I also mentioned a similar situation when I heard Daoist Chengyang say it before.
Elder Xu seemed to have said a lot at this time, and then regarded Fang Ze as his own junior, and the conversation box was even more open.
He said: "According to what I have seen, the half-step phase has to be divided into two steps, one is to find what you really want to leave to the world, and then work hard to do it, and then the second is to continue to deepen this impression, and the latter has two directions, one is to become more profound, to have a more profound impact on the world, and the other is to have a more extensive impact on the world." ”
"Deep and wide are two paths, of course, if you are very capable, you can also go at the same time, but it is best to choose only one, after all, manpower is sometimes poor, you can only do one thing well."
"In addition, there is a prerequisite before this, that is, you must do what you really want to stay in this world, the reason why everyone is different is because their path to entering the Faxiang is different, everyone has their own experience and character, and the things they leave behind are different, and their interests are also different, which is greatly related to people's personalities."
"To give an extreme example, for example, the founding patriarch of the Holy Demon Gate used to be a great master in Confucianism and Taoism, he had actually reached the level of the Faxiang and touched the edge, but at this time he had some understanding, and suddenly found that he had doubts about Confucianism and Taoism and the order of the world in his heart, and finally he gave up the original path and turned to the Demon Dao, and finally became the founding patriarch of the Holy Demon Gate."
"Although his reputation seems to be bad among the decent, because it seems that he fell from the martial arts to the devil, but from his point of view, the achievements he has made are far beyond his original limit, this kind of thing Some people find things that make them feel and have a sense of achievement, some people do something to make themselves happy, and some people want to express their heart's desires, in short, they must conform to their hearts, and then keep strengthening this, influencing the world and leaving their own imprint, and gradually they will feel something."
"Because everything is mutual, and if you are doing this kind of thing that has an impact on the world, then the world will give you feedback, and the connection between you and the world will become deeper and deeper, to a certain extent, which is the imprint that you must have after stepping into the Faxiang."
To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Oh, this thing is a bit like what Confucianism calls virtue, speech, and meritorious service." Fang Ze thought in his heart.
He felt something, and then he asked, "This avenue foothold seems to have something to do with this imprint?" ”
"Well, there are some relationships, one is the foundation, the other is the way forward, that is to say, one is the foundation that supports you to go further, and the other is the signpost that guides you in the direction of progress, they actually refer to the same thing, that is, to keep you from getting lost in the martial arts."
Fang Ze nodded.
This is teaching Fang Ze how to enter the Faxiang level.
The two things that Elder Xu said seem to have a sequence, but in fact, they can be carried out at the same time, when pursuing the origin of the Great Dao, they can first find a foothold, and then leave their own imprint in the world at the same time, although it seems that there is a sequence, but they can actually be carried out at the same time, which can save a lot of time.
Speaking of this, Elder Xu sighed with emotion: "At my age, I actually feel that the most precious thing in the world is neither money nor ordinary exercises, but time. ”
"As long as there is enough time, we will break through sooner or later, but the problem is that this time is limited."
"After a certain number of years, your time will become more and more urgent, so Elder Ning, Elder Ji, and I have not taken care of the affairs of the sect in these years, and if you don't make a move except for special things, you are competing for time with heaven and earth, sometimes the gap is just a little bit, there is not enough time, and everything else is in vain."
Fang Ze saw Elder Xu sigh like this, and he also had some feelings in his heart: "Yes, money and resources can essentially be obtained again, but if there is no time, that is, it is really gone, and no one will come for even an hour more than others in a day." ”
"Okay, that's all I can tell you, these three things for you now, including notes, jade slips, and this gem, are the cultivation notes and combat skills left by the senior I said, and they have become cheats and things similar to Buddhist relics, and the red gem you use at a critical moment may help you." Elder Xu said to Fang Ze.
Fang Ze nodded.
After thanking Elder Xu, he said goodbye to Elder Xu.
Before leaving, Elder Xu said, "Fang Ze, don't go to Weiyuan Palace to practice now, you are now a master of the half-step method, and it is not the same thing to go back and practice with those ordinary disciples." ”
"First of all, your identities are different, and secondly, in the process of your cultivation, once there is a little problem or there are some times when you need to retreat and meditate, those people in the Weiyuan Palace will affect your thinking, not because of other problems, but when your thoughts are broken, sometimes it is difficult to take them back, and you need to immerse yourself in that kind of practice environment."
Then he took out a map from the bookshelf in the room, added a token-like thing and handed it to Fang Ze: "There are still many valleys like this kind of seclusion in Cangxia Mountain, not many, but there are also seven or eight places, this is a map, you choose one by yourself and what you like, and you will practice there in the future." ”
