Chapter 247: Sitting and Forgetting the Form and Spirit, Transplanting the Meridians (4k)
Although there is no longer the collision of the breath of the two sides on the field, and there is no longer a correspondence between heaven and man, yin and yang, it will still take a considerable period of time for the dark clouds formed by accumulation to disperse.
The rain in the sky was still pouring down, and in the square not far away, the heroes crowded under the eaves of the nearby palace to take shelter from the rain, and stretched out their necks to look at Zhao Qing and Xiaoyaozi, who had already finished the battle, as well as the sweeping monks beside them.
After witnessing these earth-shattering battles, they were either in awe, or worship, or jealous, or fearful, and their demeanors varied, and they also had a new perspective on the pinnacle of martial arts.
Especially the more than a dozen old monks of the Xuanzi generation who came out of the Shaolin Temple, originally thought that after the matter came to an end, under the leadership of Xuan Lin and Xuan Yan, they tried to find trouble with Zhao Qing, but at this time, they couldn't help but feel afraid, and they no longer had such thoughts.
……
Sure enough, is it to get a glimpse of the realm of "Harmony"? "Taixuan Twelve Tribulations", what kind of mastery?
After hearing Xiaoyaozi's invitation, Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart, knowing that if he had the opportunity to witness the scene of the other party's official ascension, he should be able to gain a lot of insights.
Judging from his situation, the path of "forming and being contracted to the void" should be able to be followed, and it does not seem to be mutually exclusive with the routes of "to the Yin and the Void" and "to the Yang and the Void".
Having said that, if the two are not mutually exclusive, is it possible to combine the two routes to build a stronger foundation?
Also, is the realm of "Merge Dao" that Xiaoyaozi is about to cultivate in the main world equivalent to the level of "Lower Six Qi"?
But from the perspective of combat power, before he broke through in this battle, he may not be able to defeat the "Six Organs Manifestation God" in the second level of Divine Strength, and even against the "Five Organs Transformation God" in the first level, most of them have no advantage.
After consolidating the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man", he roughly has the top combat power in the third level of Gangjin's "Mixed Yuan as One", and he can touch the bottom level of Shenjin, which is two or three percent weaker than the strength shown by Xiaoyaozi.
The reason for this should be the restriction of the aura of heaven and earth in this world, however, the strength system of the main world has also undergone nearly 10,000 years of evolution and improvement;
Although it is said that in ancient times, there were many special beings and innate gods who were born in the "Six Qi Realm" and even at the "Tianyan" level, such as Emperor Gao Xin of the "Born as a Divine Spirit", so there was not much research and polishing below the "Six Qi" Realm.
But when it comes to the background, it is not a world where there are less than ten fingers of immortals in this side, and it can be compared.
Of course, in terms of the spiritual realm and special paths, the lower worlds also have a lot of merit.
In Zhao Qing's view, Xiaoyaozi's combat power is not so outstanding, but if he analyzes the route he takes from a multi-faceted perspective, he may not be able to develop many means to improve his combat power, so as to be basically the same as the strength system.
Finally, if the other party succeeds in ascending to a higher level world, does this mean that his "dreaming" world actually includes the upper realm of this world?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing's heart moved, and he gave birth to some ideas about "Ascension", and was ready to give it a try at the end of the "three-year period".
And just as she was thinking, the realm around Xiaoyaozi's body slowly shrank, from ten zhang to five feet around her body, naturally excluding the rain, just like Zhao Qing's five feet and the sweeping monk's three feet.
At the same time, the hole-ridden sleeves of his arms seemed to be mended by invisible needles and threads, and the holes and holes quickly disappeared, and it seemed to be restored to a new state.
After the divine qi is completely unified, without stagnation and unhindered, the manipulation of the true qi in the body is no longer "like an arm making a finger" can be described, but has reached an extremely subtle point, which can divide a true qi into thousands of threads, and there is no difference between them.
However, such subtle manipulation is only limited to the body, and cannot be manifested outside the body. Not to mention, manipulating the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the outside world has made its evolution so delicately changed.
In Zhao Qing's induction, Xiaoyaozi's aura was not obvious, and he quietly controlled the turbid parts of the heaven and earth essence qi, quickly transforming it into a condensed filament to be used to repair the Dao robe.
This kind of method can be compared with the "Gangqi Army" used by Peng Yu at the beginning, and even surpasses it.
Others didn't know, or simply thought that it was the power of the immortals, but Zhao Qing understood the principle of this, and couldn't help but admire, and gave birth to the inspiration to strengthen the power of the sword qi in a similar way.
"Zhao Qing Daoyou, the method of enlightenment that I have consulted is to start from the three of 'form, qi, and god', and use the method of 'controlling qi' as the medium of 'form and god contract as one', first 'heaven and man meet', and then gradually cut off the connection with heaven and earth, and finally achieve 'heaven and man are separated'. ”
Before the fight, Xiaoyaozi didn't think that he could take the opportunity to break through and almost break through the "last move", and under the joy, he took the initiative to explain:
"The so-called 'separation of heaven and man' is to completely grasp the aura around oneself and separate it from the outside world, forming a realm that is in harmony with the divine qi. The essence of it, similar to 'returning to the void', is still in the word 'forgetting'. ”
"Forget yourself, forget your form, forget your boundary, and only after you forget your boundary, can you 'separate'." He solemnly pointed out the method and added: "As for the theory related to 'forgetting', as far as I know, the first thing to recommend is the "Theory of Sitting and Forgetting the Form and God" written by Patriarch Sima Chengzhen. ”
"Sima Chengzhen?" Zhao Qing secretly recalled in his heart and remembered the deeds related to this person.
Sima Chengzhen is the fourth generation of Taoist Shangqing after Tao Hongjing, is a master-level figure of Taoism, and has been respected as an emperor by Tang Ruizong and Tang Xuanzong, leading Taoism into its heyday, and is a rare all-rounder.
It is worth mentioning that Sima Chengzhen is still Li Bai's New Year's friend, and he is half of his teacher in Taoism and poetry.
Listening to Xiaoyaozi's statement, although he had an adventure and obtained the "Heaven and Earth Immortal Changchun Gong", there is still a considerable part of the inheritance, which comes from the Taoist lineage passed down by Sima Chengzhen.
Perhaps, the reason why the Xiaoyao School attaches importance to all kinds of miscellaneous arts is also based on this.
I only heard Xiaoyaozi briefly describe: "The purpose of 'sitting and forgetting': 'Leaving the form and going to wisdom, the same as Datong, is to sit and forget.'" The husband sits and forgets, what is not forgotten, he does not realize his body inside, he does not know the universe outside, and he is one with the Tao, and all worries are sent. ’”
"The step of seeking the Tao is to sit and forget first. Those who sit and forget are also perishable. Therefore, the first delusion, the second to fix the heart, the center above, suddenly uncovered, under the center, empty and baseless, touch and do not move, so it is with the Tao, called Tai Ding. ”
"The Tao has deep power, and Xu Yi is a god. The form follows the Tao and becomes one with God, which is called the ...... of God-man"
"Form follows the Tao, and is one with God", is this an accurate description of the "god man" in the "Zhuangzi"?
Zhao Qing suddenly had a feeling in his heart, and understood the general path of "reverence for faith, breaking fate, receiving heart, simplifying things, true view, Taiding and attaining the Tao", with the step-by-step seven-step "sitting and forgetting", and reaching the general path of "unity of form and spirit" and "attaining the Tao and becoming immortals".
At the same time, listening to Xiaoyaozi's narration of "The Theory of Sitting and Forgetting", she also made a judgment that she was currently in the realm between "true view" and "Taiding", and if she could maintain the "Taiding" realm of "no intention to be fixed and everything to be determined" for a long time, she would be able to break through the threshold of "refining emptiness".
And at this moment, a clear voice came from afar, continuing Xiaoyaozi's narration:
"The divinity is fused, the body is not changed, the form is the same as the Tao, so there is no birth and death. The hidden is the same as the god, and the obvious is the same as the god, so it is harmless to follow the fire and water, there is no shadow of the sun and the moon, and the survival is in oneself, and there is no inference. ”
Zhao Qing's heart moved, the reason why Xiaoyaozi's combat power was lower than expected, maybe part of it was because his cultivation was more inclined to defense and survival.
She looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe walking out of the aisle on the edge of a palace in the distance.
Since Wang Yuyan arrived at Shaolin Temple, the two of them had already arrived here and found a temporary residence for the monks in the temple, but they were not interested in participating in the conference to denounce Xuan Ci.
And when they heard the sound of fighting in the outside world, and sensed the cold and fierce sword intent, the two came out in time to observe, and recognized Xiaoyaozi who was fighting with Zhao Qing - although Su Xinghe had never seen the face of his ancestor, Wuyazi also left a related portrait.
"Senior brother! Master has been looking for you for a long time, why did you come out......" Seeing the sudden appearance of Wuyazi, Grandma Tong's heart was shocked, and then she was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran out in the rain, rushing towards him, leaving a long afterimage behind him.
Just as she was about to have a hug between an adult and a child with Wuyazi, Grandma Tong suddenly noticed the abnormality on his legs and feet, and immediately forcibly stopped his steps, and said with a complicated expression:
"Senior brother, your legs ...... Is the injury serious? Need my help? By the way, with Master here, it will definitely be cured! ”
As soon as she pushed away Su Xinghe, who looked surprised, Grandma Tong directly hugged Wuyazi horizontally in her arms, and ran towards Xiaoyaozi's position with him in her arms, her movements were much softer than when she came.
When she was halfway back, not far from the place where the heroes took shelter from the rain, seven men and one woman suddenly ran out.
One of them was a black-bearded old man holding a square board, another old man holding a qin with a strange appearance, and a "Hades Enemy" who was very famous in the rivers and lakes, and the three of them followed behind Grandma Tong, as if they wanted to recover the Wuyazi who was taken away.
The other five, two were dressed as Confucian scholars, one seemed to be a carpenter, holding a short axe and carrying a long saw, one dressed like a singer on the stage, and the last woman was a middle-aged beauty.
】
After they rushed out, they ran to a place far away from Su Xinghe, ignored the rain accumulated on the ground, knelt down together, and said, "Master, your old man is better than in the past, and the eight of us are infinitely happy. ”
It turned out that these eight people who suddenly rushed out were the apprentices of Hangu Bayou, whom Su Xinghe had accepted, and who were expelled from the division because of Ding Chunqiu.
When Su Xinghe left the Drum Mountain, he instructed his disciples of the deaf and dumb sect to look for the eight of them, telling them that they no longer needed to worry about Ding Chunqiu's threat and allowed them to return to the sect.
After seeing the master who had not been seen for many years in the Shaolin Temple, Hangu Bayou was so excited that he hurriedly ran out, and caught a glimpse of the situation of Grandma Tong taking away the master, and was stopped by Kang Guangling, the piano with the highest martial arts, Fan Bailing, a chess idiot, and Xue Muhua, a divine doctor.
"Alas!" Su Xinghe looked at the five apprentices who were kneeling down and hurriedly looked at the other three, trying to stop their actions.
Just now, he saw clearly from the side, knowing that Master Wuyazi did not resist when he was being held horizontally, and guessed that the girl with great light skills should be his uncle, and this move was purely good.
However, acting so recklessly, without taking into account the face of the master without a cliff, this master is really personal!
Su Xinghe couldn't help but think of it in his heart, and briefly explained a few words to the apprentices, and also ran towards Xiaoyaozi's direction.
……
Seeing Grandma Tong acting so eagerly, rushing over with Wuyazi in her arms, Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly, blocked the raindrops that fell on the two of them, and in a flash, she took Wuyazi and straightened it, held his wrist, and probed his injuries.
As early as after discovering that Zhao Qing had practiced the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School, Xiaoyaozi had predicted that Wuyazi was likely not to reach the realm of being able to trigger the spiritual imprint in the Seven Treasure Ring, and the person who really triggered the imprint was actually Zhao Qing.
After all, even in the prosperous era of martial arts in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and the great masters who can reach the realm of "returning to the void", not every generation can appear.
"The meridians of the lower body are completely shattered, and such an injury is not serious."
Quickly drawing the conclusion of the investigation, Xiaoyaozi glanced at the worried Grandma Tong and the calm Wuyazi, and did not ask the cause of the injury, but said: "But using the method of 'meridian transplanting', it can still be cured." ”
Meridian transplanting? Zhao Qing's heart moved, although she had learned some clever medical skills from Wuyazi before, such as replacing eyeballs and connecting severed limbs, etc., but it was the first time she had heard of the theory of "transplanting meridians".
If the meridians are completely shattered, they will be transplanted with a new one, and such a method does make sense in theory. No wonder, Wu Yazi once said that his master personally acted and might be able to heal the injury.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in her heart, and was a little surprised to find that in her induction, Xiaoyaozi had actually started treatment for Wuyazi.
Although the sensing is somewhat ambiguous and difficult to probe clearly, Xiaoyaozi should not have used other people's meridians, but intercepted some tiny fragments from the meridians of Wuyazi's upper body, and transferred them to the places where the meridians of his lower body should have been.
As a result, these newly independent "meridian seeds" slowly absorb the true qi internal force in the body and the external heaven and earth essence qi that are introduced, and gradually give birth to recovery, and develop towards a complete meridian.
Sure enough, it is better to transplant other people's meridians than to use your own. Zhao Qing had enlightenment in his heart, and from this special medical technique that was beyond the imagination of most masters, he thought of the conversion method between "form, qi, and spirit".
She took two steps closer and suddenly realized that Xiaoyaozi's medical technique was actually a demonstration of the mystery of "qi change and form, deformation and life", which gave her a deeper understanding of this aspect.
The reason why the other party treated him in public was because he was full of confidence, and secondly, it was also to repay his kindness for helping him break through.
At the same time, from the medical technique of "meridian transplantation", Zhao Qing then thought of a deeper "healing" ability, and speculated that with the same method, he might be able to achieve the effect of "rebirth of broken limbs".
