Chapter 4: Meditation
After thinking for a while, Wu Feng came back to his senses.
The hazy feeling is certainly wonderful, but the love of children should not be spent too much thought, otherwise, it will not become the driving force to motivate oneself to rise up, but will become a demon hindering one's cultivation, and that would be a big mistake.
Men have their own hearts and are not disturbed by thoughts.
Wu Feng straightened his clothes, took out a pampas mat, spread it on the ground, knelt on it, put his hips on his ankles, straightened his upper body, and placed his hands on his knees in a regular manner, without squinting, but his mind gradually condensed and sank into the depths of consciousness.
In the same way that cultivators rely on meditation to practice, martial artists also emphasize epiphany, not only practicing moves, but also meditating on the practice of practice. Through meditation, I collected my martial arts perceptions, simulated martial arts battles in my mind, and studied the essence of martial arts.
But meditation is not something that can be done easily in bed. Warriors attached great importance to penance, so kneeling and sitting became the standard posture for meditation.
Kneeling is also called sitting, which is the traditional sitting posture of the human race, but after the invention of the chair, because of the painful posture, it was gradually abandoned, but the warrior was concentrating on this heart, through the dignified and elegant kneeling and sitting, sharpening his own mind, and his consciousness seemed to be closed, but with the help of the straw mat under him, he was connected with nature. Kneeling and sitting pay attention to the connotation of the mind and achieve a kind of self-cultivation through sitting posture, cultivate one's own temperament, harmonize internal and external, and protect oneself with qi, so as to achieve the purpose of having both form and spirit. What is sought is a kind of harmony and unity between the heart and the body, but also a kind of philosophical sublimation. Sitting on the ground, you can feel a kind of closeness and pursuit of the spirit of nature.
Some people say that the rule of kneeling and meditating was created by Wu Chuanfeng, and some people believe that it originated from Wu Zu's friend, Bao Mosi, the owner of the Meditation Building.
With the strict hierarchy in later generations, the legs were flexed, and it also became a ritual to kneel to show submission. However, kneeling with the back bent and the top of the head facing down, which is a great sign of humility, while kneeling and sitting with a straight body, reflecting personality and dignity, naturally cannot be compared.
Wu Feng abandoned all thoughts and entered into meditation, the six senses seemed to be closed, his eyes were not closed, but he could not see the light of the sky, his ears did not hear, but he felt the sound of nature, his snort was slight, and his breath was endless, his tongue did not move, and his mouth was full of relish, and his body was numb, but he knew that he was sitting solemnly and his consciousness was hazy, but he could make a more accurate judgment on the principles of martial arts.
Kneeling and meditating is for penance, but when you adapt to your posture, you will move from suffering to the realm of enlightenment, and you will not take the right posture as pain.
Most of the meditation methods in the world are differentiated from the source meditation method passed down in the martial arts, emphasizing the communication between heaven and earth, in order to polish the original heart, but the internal strength of the heart method in the Dongchen Sword Dictionary, the meditation method recorded is different from this, emphasizing more, it is to take the heart as the heaven and earth, and echo with the outer heaven and earth, the so-called "no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements", this is the case.
The world in the heart is illusory, and the world in the outside world is real. Therefore, when his father was still alive, Wu Feng once asked, thinking that this statement was just empty talk.
However, my father clearly pointed out that this method of meditation is more in line with the righteous mind of the martial artist as stated in the "Martial Classics". Heavenly principles are in people's hearts, the unity of knowledge and action, and then we can understand heaven and earth, which is the right way.
Wu Feng asked again: In this way, what is the difference between the sympathy and the unity of heaven and man in the Daomen?
My father smiled at the time: My generation of martial artists, following the general trend of the world, for example, crops are planted, the soil is more fertile, and the cultivator rebelliously robs the creation and steals the sky to change the luck, just like a moth gnawing the inside of a big tree, how can it be generalized?
After that, his father also said something that shocked Wu Feng even more: We should use the sword in our hands to punish Xiuzhen, return heaven and earth to the right path, and relieve all people from fire and water.
At that time, although Wu Feng was still young, he already understood that in this world controlled by the cultivation realm, if this word spread, the consequences would not only be to destroy the family. He didn't understand why his father seemed to be full of confidence when he said this, how could it be easy for a cultivator to control the world for 4,000 years?
However, Wu Feng was shocked by his father's courage to speak out. Now he understands more and more that many things may never succeed, but if you dare not think about it, it is the real cowardice.
In Wu Feng's current realm, it is true that he still can't feel the superiority of the special meditation method in the Dongchen Sword Dictionary compared to the orthodox meditation method, but after practicing for many years, he can also use the virtual to bring the real, first realize "there is nothing outside the heart", and then use it to sympathize with the principle of heaven and earth.
In the room, there was no dust, only the sunlight that came in through the window moved on Wu Feng's body, but his mind was running at a speed like lightning.
The heart of heaven is my heart, and the hunting on behalf of the sky is my will. The way of heaven is the law and principle of the operation of the world, those who follow the heavens prosper, punish on behalf of the heavens, and those who go against the heavens will kneel and die. This is the right way of heaven and earth.
The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and what Dongchen swordsmanship emphasizes is that it is the right way of heaven and earth, with the sword of divine martial arts, to sweep away the filth of the world.
However, cultivators are more opportunistic, not only digging spirit crystals all over the ground, but also frantically grabbing the essence of heaven and earth. From ancient times to the present, the level of masters in the cultivation world has declined layer by layer, and many people believe that it is precisely because the cultivators have encroached on too much heaven and earth vitality.
Between heaven and earth, the right path does not exist, which is a pity.
The thinking of Qiankun Avenue gradually turned to the consideration of specific moves. Wu Feng silently recalled in his mind every move, every style, and the specific corresponding internal skills. When meditating, the body does not move, the internal strength is dark, although there is no move outside, the move is in the heart.
The evolution of one move and one style projected the image of Dongchen Superstar on Wu Feng's heart lake spiritual platform, shining on his divine sense.
Wu Feng pondered every way of fighting, every duel technique, and every possibility of competing with the enemy, so as to complete his realm and seek opportunities for breakthroughs.
However, the move lies in defeating the enemy, and breaking through the realm lies in the heart, and how to connect the two is Wu Feng's difficulty now.
Dongchen's swordsmanship, on the surface, is too heavy on attack and killing, but the description of internal strength is very brief, and the integration of internal and external to break through the realm has become a major problem for Wu Feng, who has no one to guide him, in cultivation.
Wu Feng thought about the principles of martial arts, the method of moves, and the way of heaven and earth, about two hours, before he sat up and exhaled, he just opened his mouth slightly, but there was an explosion in the air, echoing in the room, and it did not disperse for a long time.
This is exactly what the "Martial Classics" said "Qi into thunder", when the Wu Zu "Qi into thunder, heavy buildings flying blood", as soon as he stopped drinking, he blew up the holy land of the demon clan - the seventy-two story demon tower, so that the nine thousand heavenly demons ambushed the corpse, it is really earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods.
The technique of "turning qi into thunder", cultivated to the depths, leads to the "heavy building flying blood", first of all, the throat in the body, that is, the twelve floors, which are completely penetrated by the qi veins, and after the meridians of the whole body are opened, the qi and blood can penetrate and even flow backwards with the internal force. It is precisely because the throat is through and in one go, so the qi contains the surging blood, which has a strong power.
Open up the meridians of the whole body, so that the qi and blood can flow backwards, which starts in the blood exchange realm, and in the dragon realm, it is completely completed. However, if you want to shout like Martial Ancestor and make the demon clan's heavy building collapse and disappear, the cultivation required is unimaginable to ordinary people!
However, Wu Feng's "aura turned into thunder" today, but in meditation, he accidentally obtained the spiritual realm of this state, which not only has no power at all, but also cannot be easily reproduced. After meditating on this time, he felt that his divine sense had indeed been enhanced, and his perception of the crisis was comparable to that of a monk who had just entered the Bone Refining Realm, but how to officially break through from the Qi Cultivation Realm to the Bone Refining Realm, he was still confused and could not enter.
If it is said that the origin qi of a martial artist and the cultivation of Dongchen swordsmanship, the essence is the most vigorous, Wu Feng thinks that his qi foundation has been stabilized, but the quantitative change cannot cause a qualitative change for a long time, and it is helpless.
After some contemplation, Wu Feng gave up his distracting thoughts, feeling that his mind was alive like the wind, when he returned to reality from the ocean of martial arts, his brain was still running at high speed, and in an instant, there was a lightning flash!
Wu Feng was startled and lay down on the bed, but half an hour later, he laughed, laughing extremely happily.
He began to wonder if he would bring some gifts when he met in three days.
Although Huang Er, the personal doctor of Master Xiao Yangge, does not have much friendship with Wu Feng, there are a lot of good things in his Xinglin Pavilion.
Wu Feng decided to go and ask for some tonight.
He flew along the dense woods, relying on the cover of the trees to approach the Apricot Grove Pavilion.
There are many good trees that do not wither in autumn and winter in the Valley of Forgetting Worries, which is enough to conceal Wu Feng's figure.
It was pitch black in the Apricot Grove Pavilion.
Huang is really not there.
Wu Feng climbed through the window and searched silently.
Soon, he found what he was looking for. After tidying up the scene, Wu Feng quietly left.
Although he didn't take it, he didn't feel any guilt.
