Fengming Valley inherits the Tao with piano music, focusing on adjusting the heart and cultivating nature, subduing all feelings, and pursuing the harmony of heaven and earth, with a high intention.

Zhao Huang didn't understand music theory, but he found that Lu Wangji could straighten out his mind and reconcile his true qi every time he stroked the strings and sounded the qin.

At the beginning, listening to the heron forgetting the machine and stroking the piano in the suburbs outside Pujiaguan, Zhao Huang once realized a trace of mystical meaning, feeling like floating on the ocean, drifting with the tide, but he can keep the true spirit clear and clear.

Later, in retrospect, this is precisely where the difference between the fairy path and the Shinto path lies.

Xuanmen Immortal Dao regards the world of heaven and earth as an infinite ocean, and mortals are placed in it, sinking into customs, shackling the dust industry, bearing the burden of accumulation, all kinds of emotions and competition, and being deeply harmed and unconscious. Therefore, starting to cultivate immortals, in order to consciously introspect, is to enter the road of leisure.

The so-called immortal road is by no means indulgent and wanton, but the inner condensation of the true one, the external objectification, the flow of the flow does not change the heart, and the dust and vulgarity do not hide the clarity.

Zhao Xiao once experienced this realm very briefly under the harmony of the tone of the piano of Lu Wangji. Abandon stubborn fixed views, open body and mind, and always have no desire to watch the birth and evolution of all things.

When you enter this realm, you can feel that there is an infinite amount of creation in your body and mind, which is the beginning and end point of immortal immortality. Only by looking at things without desire can the most simple and true vitality sprout.

But to enter this state for a long time, it is by no means deliberately forced to achieve. If there is desire and desire, there is a difference between right and wrong for all things, and it will set all kinds of boundaries for the infinite work of creation.

Lingxiao also once said: "If things become tools, they will be used greatly, and people will lose their Taoist heart when they become tools." ”

However, Zhao Xiao also understands that this kind of view is difficult for ordinary people to understand. How can I use it? If a person does not become a weapon, will he not destroy himself?

But for those who are dedicated to cultivating immortals, becoming a talent and a tool is precisely to restrain the endless creation of one's body and mind, and is framed by secular rules and regulations to limit death.

Therefore, the immortal path of immortality often requires people to be extraordinary, so that the ordinary people do not seek to become a talent, and the ordinary people are difficult to understand the true meaning, but it is easy to give birth to misunderstandings and fallacies.

In contrast to the idea of non-desire, the theory of desire is the foundation of Shinto.

For people in Shinto, all things are born with their own parts and uses, that is, the distinction between right and wrong, and it is natural to set boundaries and divide the order of all things.

But as Lingxiao said, the world is vast, the creation is endless, and there is no end to it, and it will not be possible in the end.

Therefore, Shinto's teachings and the establishment of the law are not to encompass everything, but to distinguish between the inside and outside of the law, and those who conform to the law are right, and those who violate the law are evil.

The Shinto law is often similar to the national society, and Shinto and humanity can be said to be mutually explanatory. Therefore, the Tianxia Dynasty should set up a praise officer, and divide people, ghosts, yin and yang according to the discipline and law, and it will be difficult for a country to maintain it without these.

The so-called major events of the country are worshiped in Rong. From the point of view of the celebrants, the law of a nation depends on what it worships.

If the sacrifice is not in accordance with the etiquette and the law, it means that the state decree is not thorough and the governance is not clear.

If the sacrificed ghosts and gods are greedy for blood and food, and extort offerings, I am afraid that the rulers of the country will also deprive the people and enslave the people.

If you worship evil traitors, then this country can be said to be an unjust country, and the country will die one day.

If the ghosts are not gods, and their gods do not hurt people, and the gods are truly not eaten, and the covenant is obeyed, then the country and society can enter the world of peace.

Liang Tao wants to create a Taoist country on earth, whether it is the laws and regulations governing the country and the people, or the discipline and law of the heavens and the earth, they are all indispensable. It's just that he is extremely ambitious, and in the future, the Dao Kingdom of the world will be dominated by him, who is both the Cave Heaven Immortal Monarch and the Earthly God King, trying to pass through both the Immortal and Divine Daos.

If it was in the past, Zhao Xiao might have felt that Liang Tao's ambition made a little sense, but it was nothing more than that he might not be suitable.

But after experiencing the painful lessons himself, Zhao Xiao gradually understood that even if he was as clever as the praise officials of the past dynasties, what he pursued was a short-term stability under the existing law, and even had to be exhausted and scattered from generation to generation to maintain the discipline and law.

Vainly trying to set up a discipline and law between the ever-changing world and the rule of self-supremacy, I am afraid that nothing good will come of it.

Liang Tao may be trying to find the key to being able to be neutral and permanent at both ends of the opposite, but Zhao Xiao is not sure if he has found it.

"Okay, that's fine."

Lu Wangji's voice interrupted Zhao Xiao's deep thought, and he came back to his senses and found that the piece of gloomy cedar had been unconsciously cut into a piano by himself.

Looking down, the groove of the instrument is not flat, but twists and turns, concave and convex undulating, the peaks and banks are scattered, the ponds and marshes are deep, and the wood lines are lifelike, as if overlooking a piece of mountains and deep valleys.

Under the guidance of Lu Wangji, Zhao Xiao condensed gold with his bare hands, and cut wood and piano. Later, Zhao Xiao's mind escaped into the mysterious realm, and after thinking about it, his hands were still moving, and he inadvertently cut the piano.

"Strange." Zhao Xiao muttered to himself: "Am I looking at things without desires or do I have desires?" ”

Jiang Ru, who was serving the incense burner and tea, didn't know what to do, Lu Wangji pondered for a while, and said: "It should belong to the desire and desire, so the instrument is natural, and it is not an exaggeration to say a word of magic work." ”

Zhao Huang was stunned and did not move, and Ling Xiao said: "In a trance, there is an elephant in it; In a trance, there is something in it. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiao suddenly felt a shock from the heavenly spirit, and his true qi involuntarily came out of his body, blowing away the surrounding sawdust, and the Xuanzhu rolled into the mud pill, rising in one fell swoop without hindrance.

The surging true qi in the body was not intense, but the momentum was far-reaching and long, like a great river rushing, out of control.

Xuanzhu ascended into the mud pill, Zhao Xiao's eyes were white at first, everything in heaven and earth disappeared, and everything around him suddenly disappeared. But then the heaven and the earth returned, and the ten thousand sounds suddenly reverberated in the acupuncture points around the body, the piano at hand sounded without strings, the sound of the cong echoed in the mountains and forests, the streams outside the pavilion and the sound of harmony, and the mountains and forests were congratulated.

In an instant, Zhao Xiao only felt that all things in heaven and earth were unfolding in front of him like a picture scroll, and the branches and leaves of the square and round land were shaking and falling, insects and ants were walking, the wind was blowing and the water was blowing, and the dust was flying, which was delicate and within reach.

But even if all things poured into his eyes and brains at once, Zhao Xiao didn't feel chaotic at all, at this moment his mood was lonely and detached, and his contribution was incredible.

"Congratulations." Lu Wangji was the first to notice Zhao Xiao's cultivation.

Zhao Huang condensed his breath, exuding true qi outside his body, sometimes turning into water, fire, wind and thunder, flying around the pavilion, and sometimes turning into various doppelgangers, with different appearances.

Gently raising his hand, the true qi formed a winding talisman seal, like a bird returning to the forest, flying down on Zhao Xiao's palm, the five colors were thick inside, and the purple gas was intertwined outside, shining brightly.

Zhao Xiao looked at the talisman seal for a moment, and with a backhand palm, he sealed it on the center of his eyebrows, straight into the brain palace, and merged with Xuanzhu to become a natal spiritual text. The original withered appearance was immediately radiant and jade.

In such a go, Zhao Xiao almost did not think twice, and there was no deliberate artificiality.

"Until today, you can be regarded as stepping into the path of the Immortal Dao." Lingxiao spoke.

Zhao Xiao asked secretly: "I thought that the level of Xuanzhu Ascending Mud Pill would be very difficult, didn't you say before that I had to explore the illusion to make a breakthrough?" ”

"How can you get it true if you don't experience it?" Ling Xiao said bluntly: "And do you think this level is easy? How many people have been unable to ascend the mud pill for a long time throughout the ages, will they have experienced less trials and penances than you? If there were no penances for the past few months, would you be able to break through the test in one go? ”

Zhao Xiao secretly said yes, he had been coming to the blessed land of Stony Creek for three or four months unknowingly, and during this time, he didn't hear about foreign affairs, except for studying music theory with Lu Wangji, he was in retreat and facing the wall, and he was almost numb to the illusion.

Lingxiao continued: "What you actually lack is a trace of opportunity, and today you can only be considered to have completed your cultivation by chopping the qin. The instrument is natural, which shows that you have worked hard. ”

If it was Zhao Xiao in the past, he would probably have gotten carried away when he heard Ling Xiao's praise like this, but now he just smiled faintly.

"It seems that our Marquis Zhenming has improved again." Jiang Ru brought a cup of jade tea: "It's a pity that we don't have a few people here, so we can't gather the mountains to shout congratulations." ”

Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "Qishan is a secluded cultivator, and I don't want to be known. What's more, my generation cultivates immortals, and it's not to show off in this way. ”

Many ordinary people think that selfishness, such as showing off and being greedy, is coerced by the desire for worldly fame and fortune, and the heart is not quiet, in the eyes of those who cultivate immortals, it is not "selfish" enough.

The so-called selfishness is nothing more than my body and mind, and the rest is not enough.

Zhao Xiao suddenly found that the cultivation realm had broken through, and even the vision and mind of looking at things were different from the past. Some things that I didn't understand in the past are now self-explanatory and clear.

For example, Liang Tao, perhaps to his kind of realm, where his body and mind are vast enough to accommodate heaven and earth, he in turn gave birth to the desire to usurp heaven and earth and take sole control of creation. In terms of this thought alone, there is no praise or disapproval, but what he did was implemented and implicated in all sentient beings, and he could not be right or wrong.

Zhao Xiao also understood why Lingxiao would be so "indifferent and ruthless" to secular mortals. This kind of ruthlessness is more about not making decisions for others on your own.

Everything in the world has its own cause, do not go through the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be kind, Zhao Huang used to inevitably define right and wrong for others wishful thinking, on the one hand, it is certainly good-intentioned, but on the other hand, there are many thoughts of ignoring the facts.

Looking back, he chose a similar method to Wang Miaoshou to kill Gao Ping's father and son, this matter was placed in the past, and Zhao Xiao's heart would definitely not do it. And what he did was the beginning of breaking the stubbornness of accumulated habits, so that he could break through the realm today.

Cultivation is diligent, and there is often a kind of pleasure that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, which is not the thrill of excitement and intensity, but the sudden enlightenment, clarity and thoroughness.

Putting the piano surface and the bottom plywood, Zhao Xiao asked, "Do you still need gray tires and surface paint?" ”

Lu Wangji shook his head lightly: "This piano has passed through your hands, and the bones and tendons have been removed from the mortal womb, why use ash powder lacquer?" ”

After that, Lu Wangji took out seven silk strings, which she personally refined, carefully wound and tied them, adjusted them tightly, and then plucked the test sound.

The sound of the piano is clear, and the listener only feels forgetful and calm, and the troubles are all gone, and the bones are comfortable.

"Hearing this fairy music, I actually have a refreshing and new feeling!" Zhao Xiao sighed.

"It's not yet in tune, so I'll make you laugh." Lu Wangji smoothed the strings and asked, "What do you want to name this piano from you?" ”

Zhao Xiao was not pretentious, knocked on his knee and said: "Feng You Biluo, singing in the air." It's called 'Bi Luokong Song', how about it? ”

"Good name!" Jiang Ru also praised.

Lu Wangji said: "Wouldn't this name be too ambitious? ”

"The texture of the piano body is like overlooking the mountains and rivers, which is what the phoenix can see." Zhao Xiao explained: "Seeing the magnificent scenery and feeling it is an empty song, and I think it's just right." Moreover, the sound played by this piano is not extraordinary, it is a natural hidden rhyme, ups and downs, turbidity, repression and turning, and mistakes into songs. ”

Lu Wangji was silent for a moment, looked down at Xinde Yaoqin, and said, "Since it is your name, it is naturally not wrong. ”

Jiang Ru saw the two of them asking and answering one by one, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys, you have to quote scriptures when you choose a name." ”

"It's rare and rare, and it should be commemorated well." Zhao Xiao said: "This kind of instrument happens to be made by me when I entered the realm to cultivate, and the opportunity is rare. ”

Zhao Xiao knew very well that this kind of magic weapon refined by chance was almost impossible to reproduce. This is not limited by the level of the level, but the integration of the understanding of the creation of heaven and earth, which is mysterious and indescribable.

"Alas, Fairy Heron has such a precious yaoqin, and I don't have anything." Jiang Ru propped her chin and looked jealous.

Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are from Chongxuan Pavilion, if you talk about the magic weapon of your body, how can you ever miss it?" ”

"Marquis Zhenming, for the sake of the little woman helping you to take care of the flowers and plants and renovate the garden, can you also get me a decent magic weapon?"

These days, the three of them have been in the same place and are familiar with each other, Jiang Ru seems to have a rare disguise, and her words have begun to become unscrupulous.

It's not that Zhao Xiao doesn't know Jiang Ru's affection, it's just that he has a grudge in the past and has always been unwilling to face it. Now my mentality has changed, but I am much calmer.

"People Lu Daoyou enter the Tao with the piano, and a piano must be cultivated for a long time, which is like a natal magic weapon, so naturally you have to put more effort into it." Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "You and I both have a bunch of magic weapons and spells in our hands, and we are not attentive, and then refining additional magic weapons will seem cumbersome and cumbersome." ”

Jiang Ru pursed her lips, as if she was dissatisfied. Zhao Xiao had no choice but to say: "Well, if you really want a magic weapon, then go and find the treasure of heaven and earth, and I can try to refine it according to the physical properties of the spiritual material." ”

Zhao Xiao didn't want to please Jiang Ru, but wanted to confirm his cultivation realm and refining skills.

Immortal Dao cultivation is to observe things without desire, but it is not to abandon the use of worldly instruments. The so-called use of nothing and cultivating the truth through falsehood, it is precisely because we can observe things without desire that we can gain insight into the hidden physical properties of all things and the opportunities for change, so as to give full play to the opportunities of change and use them, which is the method of becoming a tool and the work of refining a tool.

Zhao Xiao guessed that the reason why the teacher Zhang Duanjing and Shi Huoguang were proficient in refining magic weapons was probably to comprehend this state of mind of having no desire to see things and doing nothing.
