Chapter 244: The First Battle (4k)
Seeing Zhao Qing's thoughtful expression, Xiaoyaozi paused and added:
"Only by 'forgetting oneself' and eliminating the boundary between heaven and man, and no longer distinguishing, can we achieve true 'unity', see the void with the true self, and make the primordial spirit enter and exit between existence and non-existence, and march towards the highest ideal of 'unity of the way'."
"What is forgetting? Why forget? Go to Fenhua, forget the self, and eliminate the atmosphere and dirt, so as to do the best of the work of keeping quiet; The body is the same as the clear void of the sky, the virtue is the same as the emptiness of the sky, and the heart and mind of the people interpret the void of the sky, and finally the truth is with the Tao. ”
Zhao Qing listened to it in his heart, and couldn't help but think about it, and vaguely gave birth to some related feelings, "forget the form to nourish the qi, forget the qi to nourish the spirit, forget the god to nourish the void", the steps of "refining" in the practice all correspond to the "forgetfulness" of the soul.
She thought for a moment and asked, "The Buddhist Mahayana Bodhisattva Dao is known as 'Pudu sentient beings', and it is used as a resource for cultivation, promoting each other, and saving others is saving oneself. Punishing evil and promoting good is not in conflict with 'self-forgetfulness' and spiritual practice, so what's wrong with that? ”
Xiaoyaozi smiled and nodded, and said: "What you said is right, I mean, everything needs to grasp a certain limit, and form a relatively balanced state with your own ability, the middle is peaceful, yin and yang grow each other, and the party is the best." ”
"If Murong Longcheng could successfully restore the country back then, after the shackles caused by the original deep obsession were untied, it might no longer be an obstacle to his cultivation, but it would bring him a round of suppressed outburst and enter the level of 'refining the void'."
"However, if we want to go one step further and pursue the ultimate state of 'attainment and ascension,' we should also not maintain too deep entanglements with the people of the world. The only thing that my generation of cultivators should pursue is the way of heaven, and they don't need to pay too much attention to mundane things. ”
"Anyone who has reached the pinnacle realm can sense a certain mysterious power that exists at a higher level, or from then on he will not care about the things of the world, thinking that immortals are different; Or pursue the tranquility of the soul, at ease, without worry. ”
"There are also people who have great ambitions and great wishes, and take it as the 'Tao' on which they rely and want to cultivate the Tao to perfection. But the 'Tao' here is more of a tool for the soul to attain perfection. ”
"The three routes may be of different difficulty, but in fact, there should be no difference between superior and inferior."
The sleeves of Xiaoyaozi's robe swayed lightly, emitting a soft wind, and the whole person floated towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the distance, and said: "These remarks are regarded as my personal opinions and experience on 'refining the gods and returning the void' to 'refining the gods and returning the void' to the way of 'refining the void', and the talk of experience may not be accurate......
……
As the sound of the piano dissipated, the hypnotized people on Shaomuro Mountain woke up one after another.
The first to wake up were the simple and resolute Qiao Feng and the obsession dissipated Xiao Yuanshan, then the Xuancheng and Xuanku in the depths of the Shaolin Temple, and then Zhiguang, A Zhu, A Bi and others, the order is related to the cultivation of the heart and internal force.
Because Xuan Ku was unwilling to clash with Qiao Feng as a master at today's condemnation meeting against Xuan Ci, he deliberately stayed in his room in the Taoist Academy, reciting scriptures and praying to the Buddha for the people who had suffered from Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang over the years, and did not come to the square.
Seeing the crowd around him who were gradually sobering up, Zhiguang first restrained the bodies of Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang, and then sighed and persuaded everyone not to continue fighting:
"Heroes, there is really no reason for you to be hostile to the old monk of Xiao Yuanshan and regard him as the enemy of the Central Plains Martial Arts."
"Thirty years ago, whenever there was a controversy between Song and Liao, Xiao Lao Jushi always made suggestions to the Liao Emperor and the Empress Dowager, persuading them not to use force."
"Because the Empress Dowager of the Liao State loved martial arts back then, Xiao Lao's words really played a role, making the two countries truce and reconcile, and had great merit for the benefit of all people."
"Song Liao did not move the army, the soldiers and civilians of the two countries did not know how many lives they had survived, they did not lose their soldiers, and they did not consume much military food, and the people had enough food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment, what a good thing that was......
"And such a thing?" The vast majority of the people present couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, feeling that they had recklessly targeted the Xiao family and his son, but they had mistaken the enemy.
……
Glimpsing Xiaoyaozi's light skills, Zhao Qing admired in his heart, followed behind, and secretly thought about the other party's words just now.
Looking at the crowd below the main hall, Xiaoyaozi waved his hand to stop the Tianshan Tong Grandma who suddenly appeared and wanted to communicate with him, and spoke again:
"In my opinion, there are too many evil people in the world, and there are many bandits and bandits in every state and county, and no one can deal with them."
"There are millions or tens of millions of people suffering in the world, and even if the kings of all countries in the world suddenly become holy and virtuous kings, they do not have enough strength to save them all."
"Lao Tzu said: 'For the sake of learning day by day, for the Tao day by day, loss and loss, then to do nothing, do nothing and do nothing.'" Excessive pursuit of 'meritorious deeds' will actually damage human nature. ”
He turned his head to look at Zhao Qing, and suddenly said: "This kind of truth is also clear in the country and history. Even if thousands of people have been saved, in the long history of thousands of years, it is just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning. ”
"What's more, 'the saints do not die, but the thieves do not stop.'" If the way of promoting morality is not perfect, it will lead to the emergence of many hypocrites who deceive the world and steal their reputations, and produce many hypocrisy that attacks others through morality. ”
"As the saying goes, 'Those who know what heaven and man do, all are natural, then they put their bodies inside, and the outside is in things.'" With all the mysteries, let it be done. 'Go with the flow, do it with the 'non-action' and 'do something', it is the right reason. ”
Who said you can't save thousands of people? Nothing? Why can't we set up an organization that specializes in enforcing the law, punishing evil, and promoting good? Regarding Xiaoyaozi's current statement, Zhao Qing didn't agree with it.
Because he practiced the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, although he did not say anything, he could be regarded as one of the descendants of Xiaoyaozi, and it was reasonable for the other party to want to convey his concept of cultivation.
It is estimated that his understanding of himself comes almost entirely from the two trials of the wicked in the Apricot Forest and the Shaolin Temple, so he feels that he is too extreme and wants to return to the path of meditation and cultivation.
However, Xiaoyaozi's "hypocritical behavior of attacking others through morality", and the situation of those people not far away denouncing and attacking Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng does reflect this point, which is worth thinking about.
Not ready to continue this topic, Zhao Qing glanced at Tianshan Tong Mama, who was pretending to be majestic and a little curious in his eyes, and noticed that the other party had the temperament of being nine or ninety years old at the same time, but he was worthy of the name of "Tong Mama".
Among them, the temperament of the nine-year-old mainly comes from the body of Grandma Tong; The temperament of being in her nineties comes from her true spirit and spirit.
Sensing the situation on Grandma Tong, Zhao Qing also had some understanding of "Eternal Immortality".
According to the concept of "life and death, death is also the beginning of life", starting with "spring", the four seasons rotate, the form and qi alternate, and the true qi bears the aging of the body.
Judging from the degree of maintenance of Tong's grandmother's body, the effect of this skill on prolonging life is still above that of Ming Yugong, and it seems that there is no limit on the decay of a hundred years old mentioned by Wu Ming, even if the age is very large, it will not affect the breakthrough of cultivation.
The "Xiaoyao Yufeng" that Xiaoyaozi is cultivating now is suspected to be based on the "Heaven and Earth Immortal Changchun Gong", which is sublimated by integrating the "Northern Shengong" and "Xiao Wuxiang Gong", but I don't know, what kind of special ability does it have?
At the same point of preparation, Xiaoyaozi no longer continued to tell the way of "forgetting oneself", but with a slight flick of the sleeves of his robe, he stimulated a wave of soft qi downward, and his body flew up into the air.
He stood in the whirling wind, and his feet were empty, and he seemed to have nothing to rely on.
Invisible ripples stirred up around Xiaoyaozi, as the node of the exchange of heaven and earth spiritual energy inside and outside, and at the same time, in the invisible, it was pregnant with a huge force that seemed to be able to shatter everything.
But seeing Xiaoyaozi's figure moving with the wind, he smiled leisurely and sent an invitation to Zhao Qing: "Zhao Qing Xiaoyou, I heard that you defeated Li Congqian in five moves, I am quite interested and want to communicate with each other." ”
"Okay." Zhao Qing sensed the state of Xiaoyaozi in the sky, and was amazed by his ability to control the wind, and with the five-finger wheel bullet in both hands, he shot out a large area of dense and fierce sword qi, and struck towards the cyclone surrounding the opponent.
The radius is ten zhang, the cold light is vertical and horizontal, the sword qi is sometimes staggered, sometimes united, and the changes are endless, weaving a huge net of connections from all directions, becoming denser and heavier, spreading endlessly in all directions.
In the realm of the profound moves of the "Tai Chi Clutch", although the sword net was intervened by the cyclone, it still maintained its balance, and continued to shrink inward at a constant speed, aiming to suppress Xiaoyaozi's floating space in the air, which was impossible to dodge.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to be completely enveloped by the aura of slaughter, and the bright sword light flickered, dazzling, competing with the great sun hanging in the sky, and it seemed to turn into a sparkling river of sword qi, rushing towards the target.
Twenty or thirty zhang away, not long after he woke up in the square, the heroes who were persuaded by Zhiguang felt a strange light suddenly appear in the corner of their eyes, and they couldn't help but look up, stunned by the scene in the air in the distance.
Even Qiao Feng and the others, who had experienced the apricot grove incident, were shocked in their hearts when they saw this countless sword qi that seemed to cover the sky and the sun again, and sighed for the endless future of the martial arts.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by thousands of sword qi, Xiaoyaozi just smiled, and his body swirled with the surrounding aura, as if it turned into a huge tornado in an instant;
And in an extremely contradictory way, he achieved two rotations at the same time, inward and outward, inhaling the foreign sword qi into the bottom of the tornado, and then spitting it out from the top, completely unloading the power of this sword move.
As if borrowing the power of the sword qi to rush upward, Xiaoyaozi seemed to have no weight, and flew upwards for more than ten zhang again, reaching an extremely astonishing height, and said in his mouth:
"'The husband walked against the wind, and he was cold and kind, and there were five days in ten and then he turned back.' My way is not just the way of Zhuang Zhou, but closer to the integration of the way of Liezi and the study of Lao Zhuang. ”
The way of the column? Zhao Qing was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood a lot of content.
In "Getaway", "no self, no merit, no name", the three refer to Song Rongzi, who does not seek fame and fortune, Liezi who walks against the wind, and the highest ideal realm of "taking advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and distinguishing between the six qis".
It is no wonder that Xiaoyaozi called his own realm "god man" and nothing else, because "god man is useless" is Zhuangzi's evaluation of "Liezi Yu Feng".
Thinking secretly in her heart, Zhao Qing's shot did not slow down in the slightest, only to see that she used the "Vientiane Hao Void Gong" to the extreme, and the aura around her body curled up into a ball, turning into a strange space that constantly collapsed inward, attracting the ubiquitous aura between heaven and earth.
The lingering haze quickly turned blue, and in an instant it condensed into a bright blue-white sword light, and in the blink of an eye, it dispersed again, turning into a sword circle with a radius of half a foot and a half with a cold air converging inward, which was volleyed between her hands in the air, ready to be thrown at any time.
Inspired by the sweeping monk's "Liberation from Troubles" five styles, Zhao Qing made some improvements to the "Ice Spirit Cold Light", making its cold qi more restrained and its form more changeable, which could adapt to various combat situations.
Xiaoyaozi's rotating aura has an astonishingly large suction power, and it may be able to easily deflect and swallow small sword qi, but how much can it affect a large sword circle with a diameter of three feet?
But Zhao Qing couldn't make a move immediately, because she suddenly found that in her spiritual induction, the entire Shaomu Mountain seemed to be spinning with Xiaoyaozi, turning into an inseparable whole.
Of course, this is an illusion, but it can also be seen that the momentum of the other party has an overwhelming advantage.
In terms of the manipulation of wind and cyclones, compared with Xiaoyaozi's thousands of tempers and polishing for hundreds of years, Zhao Qing's Ming Yugong was at a significant disadvantage for the first time.
However, in the face of Xiaoyaozi, who has a higher realm, has practiced for more than two hundred years, and can be called an old monster, the other party can use such an ability, which is completely expected by her, and it arouses the fighting spirit in her heart even more.
】
Xiaoyaozi, who soared dozens of feet in the air, suddenly froze for a moment through the changes in the cyclone around him, and the magically flying bird suddenly stopped in mid-air, still chanting in his mouth:
"Liezi? The Yellow Emperor said: 'Eyes are like ears, ears are like noses, noses are like mouths, there is no difference. The heart is condensed, and the flesh and bones are melted; I don't feel where the shape is leaning, where the feet are walking, what follows the wind, and the dry shell of the leaves. Don't you know that the wind rides my evil? Am I riding the wind? ’”
Liezi learned the Tao from the old Shang clan for nine years, and reached the realm of concentrating and concentrating, and the body seemed to exist as if it did not exist, and finally practiced the art of "riding the wind".
In Zhao Qing's view, this is somewhat similar to the later Taoist Inner Dan practice of "the form and the spirit are wonderful, and the Tao is true", the form and the god are combined, and they become formless and phaseless, which is called "the form and the god contract in the void".
"The key to the husband's way is nothing but a void, and the void contains all things. The world is ruined, but the void is not destroyed. Those who are both in form and spirit are also void in form and spirit. ”
The so-called "physical and spiritual wonderful" is to transform the body into the direction of the spirit, becoming more and more light and illusory, and finally ascend to heaven with the spirit.
It is "as vast as Feng Xu's wind, and I don't know where it stops, fluttering like a legacy of independence, feathering and ascending to immortal." ”
Obviously, Xiaoyaozi has a very high attainment in the cultivation of "form and spirit", and his body is lighter than ordinary people, so he can use the wind to flutter in the air and not fall for a long time.
Having said that, in the case of being light and weak, although it is easy to unload all kinds of external forces and reach a peak in defense, in terms of attack, I am afraid it has to be missing.
Just as Zhao Qing was thinking like this, Xiaoyaozi also finished his part about Liezi and began to turn defense into offense.
I saw that tens of thousands of tiny wind whirlwinds around him absorbed a huge amount of heaven and earth aura at this moment, compressing inward, as if turning into a solid mountain in mid-air, becoming extremely condensed, like a meteor falling, with an unstoppable huge force, rushing straight down towards Zhao Qing's direction.
