Chapter 26: A Brief Discussion on Spiritual Practice
Gu Sheng walked around the other rooms, and saw that many Taoist priests had fallen on the couch, almost all of them had been stabbed in the neck.
Yan Ruyu, the little vixen, usually looks smiling, and she can be ruthless enough.
Make sure that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, go back and pack everything with Yan Ruyu, a big bag.
After changing their clothes, the two of them carried swords, packages, and pianos on their backs, and went down the mountain while it was dark, only to see that there was still a fire burning under the mountain, and many people rushed to the bottom of the mountain.
After going around half a circle, he found the carriage and woke up Luo Zhen, who was lying on it and was sleeping.
"Gu Xianggong, Miss Yan, ...... you guys" Luo Zhen was startled when he saw the two people who were going down the mountain in the dark, carrying the package in their hands, the two didn't take so many things when they went up the mountain, shouldn't they have committed a crime in Qingyunguan?
"Let's go, don't alarm the others, something big has happened in Qingyunguan, you can't even imagine what happened. Turn around and call sister, and I'll tell you. Yan Ruyu said with a smile, but these words dispelled Luo Zhen's previous thoughts.
No matter how you look at Yan Ruyu, it doesn't look like she has done anything big on the mountain.
Instead, there was a deep curiosity, what was really going on on the mountain? The two of them would come down from the mountain before dawn, carrying large bags of things.
A moment later, the carriage left from the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and although many people noticed, no one asked.
After more than half an hour, the sky revealed the white of the fish's belly, and it gradually brightened.
Gu Sheng took out the book "Talking about Practice" and looked through it.
After looking at it for a while, Gu Sheng had a slight realization in his heart.
Judging from the book, both martial arts and Taoism are practices, but the two sides have different emphasis.
Martial arts is refining the body, forging bones, washing the marrow, passing the pulse, enlightening the knot, the gods, the bridge between heaven and earth, and the immortals.
The first three exercises the physical body to lay the foundation, and after reaching the pulse, you can open the human body's hundred veins, and then open up the knots in the body, refine the gods in the knots, and then open the bridge between heaven and earth, and finally achieve human immortals.
After reaching the Tongmai, the warrior gradually has all kinds of incredible abilities.
The Taoist technique is to concentrate the spirit, collect the spirit, go out of the body, travel at night, drive away, travel by day, thunder tribulation, and yang god.
The first thing to concentrate on is the foundation of cultivation, to settle the mind, and the whole person to enter a strange state of not thinking about it, which can strengthen the soul consciousness; Then it is the spiritual machine between heaven and earth, which generates qi in the body; After that, the soul consciousness is out of the body, but at this time, it can only be a few meters away from the body;
This was followed by night travel, and the soul consciousness was already able to travel hundreds of miles at night, and it was easy to know the situation within a radius of 100 miles.
However, at this time, the soul consciousness is still weak, a gust of wind can cause damage, and when it encounters the sun, it is like ice and snow melting.
As the name suggests, the repellent uses soul consciousness to drive objects; When you reach the day travel realm, your soul consciousness can travel during the day, and by this time, it is almost the same as the land immortals.
Finally, survive the thunder tribulation and achieve the yang god.
There is no difference between the two, but the former focuses on the physical body and the body is powerful, while the latter focuses on the soul consciousness and the means are unpredictable.
Gu Sheng guessed that Xu Daoren should be a cultivator of the out-of-body realm, and he couldn't even reach it at night, but with flying swords, talisman seals, and borrowing from Marshal Wen, it was really powerful.
This "Discussion on Practice" is a manuscript, and I don't know who the author is or where Xu Daoren got it.
The previous part briefly talked about the characteristics and practice division of martial arts and Taoism, and the latter mainly talked about some problems, key points, and tips in Taoist practice, but unfortunately Gu Sheng couldn't understand this part.
However, the value of this book does not need to be said, Gu Sheng finally figured out what cultivation was all about and how the levels were divided.
But there is one thing that he cares about a lot, that is, people who practice martial arts, their soul consciousness and physical body are one, and they are extremely stable, so it is extremely difficult to break through to the out-of-body with half the effort when cultivating Dao techniques.
The higher the martial arts cultivation, the more difficult it is to cultivate the Dao arts.
This made Gu Sheng hesitate whether he should continue to practice martial arts or switch to cultivation.
……
When resting on the road, Luo Zhen couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"Gu Gongzi, what happened on the mountain?"
Gu Sheng didn't answer, but asked, "Your family is in Qingyang?" ”
"How can I have a family? Originally, he fled to Qingyang, relying on his strength and being introduced by others to join the Flying Tiger Gang, and finally landed on his feet. Luo Zhen smiled bitterly.
"In this case, then you don't go back to Qingyang, I'll give you some silver at that time, and change places to make a living." Gu Sheng said.
Luo Zhen was stunned and asked cautiously, "Gu Gongzi, what happened?" ”
"Everyone thinks that Qingyunguan is a good person, who thinks that those monsters are made by Qingyunguan, and they turn people into monsters, and feed them with human flesh, I don't know how many people have died in the hands of Qingyunguan over the years." Gu Sheng is simple.
Luo Zhen was taken aback: "Gu Gongzi! ”
"There's no need to lie to you about this, if I'm really a bad person, wouldn't it be easier to cut you down with a knife now?
That Xu Dao was killed by me, and now someone should go up the mountain and find those things in the Taoist temple, and it is estimated that it will spread soon.
But there are still people behind that Xu Daoren, if you go back, they will definitely catch you and ask me about my whereabouts, and you may not be able to live then.
So I'll give you some silver, enough for you to make a living in other provinces, how about it? Gu Sheng said lightly.
Luo Zhen thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "I believe in Gu Gongzi." ”
Gu Sheng nodded and said, "Turn to Xiushui Mansion in a moment." ”
Originally, the plan was to go to Songjiang Prefecture, and the direction was in the northeast, but when I hired a car, the people in the carriage and horse shop also knew about it.
Now Gu Sheng plans to change his path to the southeast.
As long as Luo Zhen doesn't go back, they don't know when they will find Xiushui, and they will have already gone elsewhere by then.
"I really can't imagine that there are evil people in Qingyun Temple." Luo Zhen said.
"Last night, that member of the staff was killed by the people of Qingyunguan, and there was only one head left. and his several nursing homes, which were also hung upside down and cut meat. Yan Ruyu spoke on the side, and the content startled Luo Zhen again.
"They still want to do something to me and Gongzi, but fortunately, Gongzi is powerful and killed the Taoist priest of Qingyunguan, and we found out the truth."
In fact, as Gu Sheng said, people who went to Qingyun Mountain in the morning found that the Taoist temple was not open, and after waiting for a long time, someone couldn't help but climb over the wall to check it, but what they saw was a bloody case, which exploded at that time.
There were those who dared to enter the tunnels and find the monsters killed in cages, and the rooms where people were slaughtered as livestock, and all of them turned pale, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.
……
The three of them rested for a while and continued on their way.
Gu Sheng picked up the book "Nourishing the Spirit" again and read it carefully, he was very curious about what this book could show.
is different from the last time I watched it yesterday, at this time, Gu Sheng read it word by word and slowly understood the meaning.
It didn't take long for Gu Sheng to feel that his arm was being held, and when he turned his head, Yan Ruyu didn't know when he fell asleep, he was holding his arm, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling, less clever and more coquettish.
At this time, Gu Sheng felt that this was really a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
It's a pity that I don't have a camera in my hand, otherwise I would have to take a picture of her.
Gu Sheng turned his head and continued to concentrate on reading.
After a long time, it was almost dark, and Yan Ruyu had already woken up and fallen asleep, and she had woken up several times.
Gu Sheng felt something fall on his leg and bounce off, then bounced up in the carriage and got stuck in the corner after a few clicks.
Turning his head to follow the sound, he saw a palm-sized ball stuck in the corner of the carriage, and Gu Sheng's heart suddenly jumped.
Pick up the ball, I don't know what material the ball is, the whole is transparent, with a little gold, the touch is soft and hard, but it looks like a bouncy ball when I was a child.
However, the most important thing is the thing in the ball - a woman in Tsing Yi curled up.
